Operational Earnings Highlights for Third Quarter 2005

• Utility, Parent & Other was negatively affected by two hurricanes but showed increased results due to higher weather-driven revenues, decreased operation and maintenance expense and accretion.
• Entergy Nuclear results increased as the result of higher generation due to uprates and fewer planned and unplanned outages during the current quarter, and lower operation and maintenance expense and accretion.
• Entergy-s non-nuclear wholesale assets business had lower results due to reduced revenues and higher operation and maintenance expense.

"The two most significant natural disasters ever experienced at Entergy in Hurricanes Katrina and Rita tested the skill, the will and the courage of our employees and certainly the patience and understanding of our customers," said J. Wayne Leonard, Entergy-s chief executive officer. "Entergy has responded to the challenges posed by these unprecedented times and we are committed to continuing to provide a high level of service to our customers, to maintain a financially sound company and to deliver top quartile returns to our shareholders."

Entergy also announced today a new financing plan to source from $2.5 to $3.0 billion through a combination of debt and equity linked securities. The plan, which will be implemented over the next several months, will include 1) increasing the capacity on Entergy Corporation-s credit revolver by up to $1.5 billion; 2) issuing $0.5 to $1.0 billion of equity linked securities; 3) issuing up to $0.5 billion of new debt at various utility operating companies; and 4) providing funding in the amount of $300 million from the parent company to Entergy Gulf States, Inc. This financing plan is designed to provide adequate liquidity to Entergy and its subsidiaries while storm restoration cost recovery is pursued from a combination of insurance providers, federal and state legislation, and jurisdictional regulatory proceedings.

Entergy will host a teleconference to discuss this release at 10:00 a.m. CST on Tuesday, November 1, 2005, with access by telephone, 719-457-2649, confirmation code 970768. The call and presentation slides can also be accessed via Entergy-s web site at www.entergy.com/webcasts. A replay of the teleconference will be available for the following fourteen days by dialing 719-457-0820, confirmation code 970768. The replay will also be available on Entergy-s web site at www.entergy.com/webcasts.

Detailed earnings variance analysis is included in appendices B-1 and B-2 to this release. In addition, appendix B-3 provides details of special items shown in Table 2 above.

Consolidated Net Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities

Entergy-s net cash flow provided by operating activities in third quarter 2005 was $334 million compared to $768 million generated in third quarter 2004. The decrease was due to:

• Effects of two hurricanes which served to reduce revenues and generate significant storm restoration costs.
• Changes in the timing and amounts of fuel recovery in the current period compared to one year ago at Utility, Parent & Other.

Table 3 provides the components of net cash flow provided by operating activities contributed by each business with quarter-to-quarter and year-to-date comparisons.

Table 3: Consolidated Net Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities
Third Quarter and Year-to-Date 2005 vs. 2004

Total Net Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities	334	768	(434)	1,107	1,678	(571)

(a) Third quarter 2004 and year-to-date third quarter 2004 net cash flow from operating activities have been revised to reflect the deconsolidation of Entergy New Orleans, Inc.

II. Utility, Parent & Other Results

In third quarter 2005, Utility, Parent & Other earned $1.35 per share on both as-reported and operational bases compared to $1.11 per share in third quarter 2004. Entergy New Orleans, Inc. (ENOI) results for the quarter are included in Utility, Parent & Other earnings. However, ENOI was de-consolidated for third quarter 2005 reporting purposes as explained in Appendix A of this release. Accordingly, revenue and expense explanations that follow exclude the revenues and expenses of ENOI. Earnings in third quarter 2005, exclusive of ENOI, reflect:

• Storms- impact which reduced overall customer usage and revenues.
• An increase in net revenue due primarily to warmer than normal weather resulting in higher usage in the residential, commercial and governmental sectors.
• Lower operation and maintenance expense due to resources normally dedicated to operation and maintenance tasks being shifted to storm restoration work. In addition, a portion of the proceeds received during third quarter 2005 from a settlement with the Central Interstate Low-Level Radioactive Waste Compact Commission were applied against operation and maintenance expense.
• Accretion from Entergy-s share repurchase program.

ENOI results for third quarter 2005 contributed $0.03 per share, compared to $0.06 per share one year ago. The decrease, due to outages caused by Hurricane Katrina, reflects $15 million of lower net revenue compared to one year ago while overall fixed costs of ENOI remained essentially unchanged.

Electricity usage excluding ENOI, in gigawatt-hour sales by customer segment, is included in Table 4 below. Current quarter sales reflect the following:

• Residential sales in third quarter 2005, on a weather-adjusted basis, were down nearly 2 percent compared to third quarter 2004.
• Commercial and governmental sales, on a weather-adjusted basis, were down nearly 1 percent.
• Industrial sales, after adjusting for the planned loss of one customer to cogeneration, experienced a decrease of nearly 3 percent in third quarter 2005 compared to the same period a year ago.

Weather-adjusted sales usage was lower in the current period due primarily to customer outages in all customer classes caused by two major hurricanes that made landfall in the Entergy service territory during third quarter 2005.

Table 4 provides a comparative summary of the Utility-s operational performance measures.

Entergy Nuclear

Entergy Nuclear (EN) earned $0.33 per share on both as-reported and operational bases in third quarter 2005, compared to $0.28 in third quarter 2004. In third quarter 2005 EN had higher generation resulting from uprates, no planned outage time and fewer unplanned outages compared to third quarter 2004. In addition, operation and maintenance expense decreased quarter to quarter due to lower refueling outage amortization expense. Also, accretion impacted EN-s earnings during the current period.

Other EN highlights included:

• Capacity factor for the fleet was 95% for third quarter 2005 reflecting fewer unplanned outages and no planned outage time. There were six planned refueling outage days at the FitzPatrick unit in third quarter 2004.
• Average production costs decreased due primarily to higher generation resulting from uprates, no planned outage time and fewer unplanned outages.

Table 6 provides a comparative summary of EN-s operational performance measures.

(c) The planned refueling outage at FitzPatrick began in September 2004 and was completed in fourth quarter 2004 in a total of 30 days.

Energy Commodity Services

Third quarter 2005 results for Energy Commodity Services (ECS) include only earnings from Entergy-s non-nuclear wholesale assets business. ECS as-reported results in third quarter 2004 included earnings from both the non-nuclear wholesale assets business and Entergy-Koch, LP (EKLP).

As-reported results for ECS in third quarter 2005 were $(0.03) per share compared to a loss of $(0.17) per share in third quarter 2004. As-reported results in the current period reflect the absence of any results from EKLP, which business incurred a loss of $(0.19) in third quarter 2004. The trading and pipeline businesses of EKLP were sold in late 2004. Operational results for ECS were also a loss of $(0.03) per share in third quarter 2005 compared to no earnings per share on an operational basis one year ago. The loss in the current period reflects reduced revenues and increased operational costs compared to third quarter 2004.

IV. Forward-looking Financial Data and Aspirations

Entergy had noted, in an Investor Release dated September 6, 2005, that it was unable to affirm its previously issued earnings guidance for the year 2005 due to its inability to estimate the revenue and expenditure impact of Hurricane Katrina. As of the date of this release, Entergy continues to be unable to affirm 2005 earnings guidance. The impact of this storm along with Hurricane Rita-s effects have created uncertainties in Entergy-s business which also require the company to eliminate selected financial disclosures on cash available for capital deployment and planned capital expenditures that were previously presented in quarterly earnings releases.

Entergy is currently focused on resolving challenges and uncertainties brought on by the hurricanes. While these activities may affect near-term financial performance, the company-s long-term aspirations remain in tact. Specifically, Entergy aspires to deliver average annual earnings per share growth of 5-6%, to achieve a 9% return on invested capital, and to continue to improve the company-s overall credit quality over the long term. The company-s ability to achieve these aspirations over time will be based upon a combination factors which include but are not limited to intrinsic growth, the recovery of storm related restoration costs, the return of customers and load to portions of the Entergy service territory, and the amount of cash that is available for capital deployment in investments, share repurchases, dividends or debt retirement.

V. Appendices

Nine appendices are presented in this section as follows:

• Appendix A includes information on Entergy New Orleans, Inc.-s filing for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
• Appendix B includes earnings per share variance analyses and details on special items that relate to the current quarter and year-to-date periods.
• Appendix C provides information on selected pending local and federal regulatory cases, including potential financial impacts.
• Appendix D provides estimates of earnings per share sensitivities related to variables that impact utility and nuclear results.
• Appendix E provides financial metrics for both current and historical periods. In addition, historical financial and operating performance metrics are included for the trailing eight quarters.
• Appendix F provides a summary of Entergy Corporation-s financing authority and that of its operating subsidiaries as well as a summary schedule of debt maturities by business.
• Appendix G provides current storm restoration data for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
• Appendix H provides definitions of the operational performance measures and GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures that are used in this release.
• Appendix I provides a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures used in this release.

Appendix A provides information on the petition filed by Entergy New Orleans, Inc. for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code as well as related activities subsequent to the initial filing.

Appendix A: Entergy New Orleans, Inc. Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy Filing

To protect its customers and ensure continued progress in restoring power and gas service to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, on September 23, 2005, Entergy New Orleans, Inc. (ENOI) filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Numerous motions on behalf of various parties involved in this proceeding have been filed with additional motions expected prior to the final hearing date on the bankruptcy petition currently scheduled for December 7, 2005. For more information on documents filed in this proceeding go to www.entergy.com/Investor/financial/enoi.asp

Financing

Simultaneous with the filing on September 23, 2005, ENOI filed a motion with the Court for "debtor-in-possession" (DIP) financing that contemplated Entergy Corporation making loans up to $200 million to ENOI to address ENOI-s current liquidity crisis. The petition also requested that up to $150 million of these loans be approved on an interim basis, with such amount being subsequently amended to be $100 million. These funds were requested to enable ENOI to meet its near-term obligations, including employee wages and benefits, payments under power purchase and gas supply agreements, and its existing efforts to repair and restore the facilities needed to serve its electric and gas customers. On September 26, 2005, the bankruptcy court approved interim DIP financing up to $100 million. On October 11, 2005, ENOI filed a motion in bankruptcy court to increase the interim DIP financing available to $200 million. On October 26, 2005, the bankruptcy court approved ENOI-s requ est and the DIP financing limit was increased to $200 million. Entergy and ENOI also filed a request with the Securities and Exchange Commission to increase the interim DIP financing to $200 million, with an order expected in early December 2005. The approval by the Court, along with SEC approval, will allow Entergy Corporation to provide additional funding through DIP financing but such funding will be provided by Entergy Corporation at its discretion.

Accounting

Entergy owns 100 percent of the common stock of ENOI and has, subject to the rules and requirements of Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, continued to supply operating management to ENOI. However, uncertainties surrounding the nature, timing and specifics of the bankruptcy proceedings have caused Entergy to de-consolidate ENOI for financial reporting purposes beginning in third quarter 2005 with ENOI-s financial results being recorded under the equity method of accounting. Under this methodology, earnings from ENOI are now reflected in Entergy-s income statement as equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.  Because Entergy owns all of the common stock of ENOI, this change has not impacted the amount of net income Entergy has recorded in the current period or any historical period but has resulted in ENOI-s net income being presented in one line item rather than included in each individual income statement line item presented. In addition, various line items of Entergy-s consolidated balance sheet and cash flow statement have been revised to reflect the impact of de-consolidating ENOI.

Entergy also noted that events related to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the bankruptcy proceeding for ENOI noted above, that occur prior to the filing of the third quarter financial statements under Form 10-Q, could result in a subsequent event(s) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This subsequent event(s) might materially change the accounting disclosures and/or the reported income of Entergy and one or more of its operating subsidiaries. Examples of events that might result in subsequent event accounting and disclosure could include a determination as to the permanent loss of certain customers, finalization of insurance proceeds, potential regulatory outcomes and/or other potential adverse events related to ENOI-s filing for bankruptcy protection, among other things.

4. Other operation and maintenance expense decreased in third quarter 2005 compared to the same period last year due primarily to resources deployed to storm restoration projects and proceeds received from a settlement, a portion of which offset operation and maintenance expense, associated with low-level radioactive waste services. For the year-to-date period, the increase in operation and maintenance expense was due primarily to higher benefits expense, nuclear expense and fossil outage expense, partially offset by the storm restoration work and settlement proceeds noted above.
5. Share repurchase effect reflects the impact of Entergy-s repurchase activity.
6. Other income (deductions) increased in third quarter 2005 due primarily to the absence of losses this year from Entergy-Koch, LP, which amounted to $(0.19) in third quarter 2004, the impact of which was partially offset by the absence of an adjustment in third quarter 2004 to the decommissioning liabilities at Entergy Nuclear. For the year-to-date period, the increase also reflects the absence of losses from Entergy-Koch, LP, $(0.07) in 2004.
7. Net revenue increased due primarily to higher usage in the residential and commercial and governmental sectors during third quarter 2005 compared to one year ago as a result of warmer than normal weather. A portion of the net revenue increase during the quarter was offset by lower volume as a result of major storms and resulting outages during the period. The year-to-date increase in net revenues is due primarily to warmer than normal wea ther and higher unbilled revenues compared to one year ago.
8. Interest expense and other charges increased due primarily to higher short-term borrowings during third quarter 2005.

Appendix B-3 lists special items by business with quarter-to-quarter and year-to-date comparisons. Amounts are shown on both earnings per share and net income bases. Special items are those events that are less routine, are related to prior periods, or are related to discontinued businesses. Special items are included in as-reported earnings per share consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), but are excluded from operational earnings per share. As a result, operational earnings per share is considered a non-GAAP measure.

Appendix C provides a summary of selected regulatory cases and events that are pending.

Appendix C: Regulatory Summary Table
Company/ Proceeding	Authorized ROE	Pending Cases/Events	Potential Operational Earnings Impact
Retail Regulation
Entergy Arkansas	11.00%	Recent activity: None Background: No cases pending. Timing of next filing to be based on completion of steam generator and reactor vessel head replacement at ANO Unit 1 and outcome of compliance filing pursuant to the June 2005 FERC decision in the System Agreement case.	$0.00 per share in 2005.
Entergy Gulf States - TX	10.95%	Recent activity: Legislation was enacted in June 2005 that allows EGSI-TX to file for rate relief through riders for transition costs and incremental capacity costs. The legislation also extended to mid 2008 the base rate freeze EGSI-TX has been in since 1999. A filing was made on July 5, 2005 at the Public Utilities Commission of Texas (PUCT) requesting recovery of $23 million of projected incremental purchased power capacity costs for the twelve months ending June 30, 2006. September 1, 2005 was established as the date recovery of incremental purchased power capacity costs could begin. On October 17, 2005 the ALJ granted interim rate relief for recovery of $18 million annually beginning with the first billing cycle in December 2005, subject to refund or surcharge. A filing was made on August 24, 2005 requesting recovery of $189 million in transition costs to be amortized over a 15 year period, with a resultant annual revenue requirement of $25.1 million. The procedural schedule in this case s hould provide for a final decision by mid-year 2006. Background: EGSI-TX has been in a base rate freeze since 1999. In July 2004, the PUCT effectively rejected the company-s proposal to advance to Retail Open Access and as a result, the company filed a rate case in August 2004 which was dismissed by the PUCT in October 2004. The company appealed this dismissal and the appeal is still pending. In response to the PUCT decision, EGSI-TX sought legislative clarity on the timing and path to ROA, as well as an opportunity for rate relief.	$0.00 per share in 2005 as the original filed case will not be reopened.
Entergy Gulf States - LA	9.90% - 11.40%	Recent activity: Pursuant to the Louisiana Global Settlement, the first formula rate plan (FRP) filing was made on June 30, 2005 based upon a calendar 2004 test year. For the first year only, prospective rates will be reset to the 10.65% midpoint. The filing indicates that EGSI-LA has no refund liability for 2004 and a prospective rate increase of $23.8 million. A revision to the filing was made on September 27, 2005 reflecting a $37.2 million rate increase based on (1) $21.1 million FRP increase and (2) $16.1 million in Perryville costs. Rates became effective with the first billing cycle of October 2005. Staff initial comments were received October 17, 2005. Final comments are expected by year end. Background: On March 23, 2005 the Louisiana Public Service Commission (LPSC) approved a Global Settlement of 12 cases. The settlement terms included $76 million of refunds for EGSI-LA customers, no change in current rates, and the establishment of a FRP with a 10.65% ROE midpoint and a +/- 75 basis point bandwidth. Earnings outside the bandwidth are allocated 60% to customers and 40% to the company.	2005 impact estimated to be immaterial based on the terms of the Louisiana Global Settlement.
Entergy Louisiana	9.45% - 11.05%	Recent activity: At its May 18, 2005 meeting, the LPSC approved a modified settlement that established a midpoint ROE of 10.25%, approved a FRP and called for a compliance filing. In July, pursuant to its compliance filing, the company finalized depreciation associated with Waterford 3 life extension accounting resulting in a rate reduction that offset the $6.7 million base rate increase associated with the Perryville acquisition, and effectively reduced rates by approximately $0.8 million overall. Background: In January 2004, ELI filed for a $167 million base rate increase based on an ROE of 11.4%. Hearings on the rate case were completed in December 2004 and in March, ELI and the LPSC Staff filed a joint motion for contested settlement. The settlement included, among other things, a FRP with a 10.25% ROE midpoint and a +/- 80 basis point bandwidth with the first filing in 2006 based on a 2005 test year. Earnings outside the bandwidth are allocated 60% to customers and 40% to the company.	2005 impact estimated to be $0.06 per share based on the terms of the settlement.
Entergy Mississippi	9.10% - 11.90%	Recent activity: None Background: In December 2002, the Mississippi Public Service Commission (MPSC) approved a $48.2 million rate increase which allowed an ROE of 11.75%. The MPSC also approved a formula rate plan which allows the earned return on equity to increase or decrease within a bandwidth without a change in rates. Also, performance incentives can increase or decrease the benchmarked ROE by 100 basis points. If EMI earns above or below the bandwidth range, rates are adjusted on a prospective basis by 50% of any overage or shortfall to the top or bottom of the bandwidth respectively. EMI submitted its 2005 FRP-s Evaluation Report to the MPSC in March 2005. In May, the MPSC approved a joint stipulation which provided for no change in rates based on a performance adjusted ROE of 10.5%.	2005 and beyond may be impacted by an increase or decrease of $0.02 per share for every 1% change in ROE resulting from performance incentives and/or sharing above or below the allowed range.

Appendix C: Regulatory Summary Table (continued)
Company/ Proceeding	Authorized ROE	Pending Cases/Events	Potential Operational Earnings Impact
Retail Regulation (Continued)
Entergy New Orleans	9.75% - 11.75% (electric) 10.25% - 11.25% (gas)	Recent activity:    On September 27, 2005, the New Orleans City Council (CCNO) approved an Agreement in Principle authorizing ENOI to implement a $2.5 million electric base rate decrease and no change to gas rates, effective with the first billing cycle in September 2005.  Also, a two year extension of ENOI-s FRP was approved with a ROE mid-point of 10.75%, and a 45% hypothetical equity ratio with electric and gas bandwidths of 100 and 50 basis points, respectively.  The Generation Performance-Based Rate (G-PBR) was decoupled from the electric FRP allowing ENOI to earn up to $4.5 million annually under the G-PBR.  However, the G-PBR has been temporarily suspended due to impacts from Hurricane Katrina. Background:  Effective June 2003, the CCNO approved a resolution adopting, among other things, a 2-year prospective FRP for ENOI. In addition, the Electric FRP allowed for sharing of fuel and purchased power savings through a G-PBR plan.  On April 29, 2005, ENOI filed its annual electric and gas FRP updates for the year ending December 31, 2004 which reflected a small decrease in electric rates and a $3.9 million gas rate increase.
Wholesale Regulation (FERC)
System Energy Resources, Inc.	10.94%	Recent activity: None Background: ROE approved by July 2001 FERC order. No cases pending.	$0.00 per share.
System Agreement	NA	Recent activity: On June 1, 2005, the FERC issued its decision which stated that rough production cost equalization did not exist in the Entergy system. The FERC established a bandwidth of +/- 11 % to reallocate production costs and ordered that this approach be applied prospectively. Based on the FERC-s ruling, actual production costs in 2006 will be reviewed with any potential for the reallocation between operating companies coming in 2007. A number of parties have filed rehearing requests with FERC and a final decision is not expected until sometime around year-end 2005. Background: The system agreement case addresses reallocation of production costs among the utility operating subsidiaries. The FERC administrative law judge (ALJ) issued an initial decision in February 2004 concluding that rough production cost equalization no longer exists on the Entergy system and recommended a bandwidth of +/- 7.5 % be applied to reallocate production costs, with a +/- 5 % bandwidth applied on a three year rolling average basis. Entergy opposed the bandwidth approach and certain other findings of the ALJ.	$0.00 per share regardless of outcome; the outcome of the case will only impact the allocation of costs among the operating companies; these costs are passed through to customers.
Affiliate Transactions	NA	Recent activity: The ALJ issued an initial decision on June 30, 2005 approving all of the eight contracts reviewed, with a finding that 19 MW of one contract should be repriced. Briefs on exceptions have been filed by all parties, and a final FERC decision is not expected until early 2006. Background: Eight purchase power agreements from Entergy affiliates for supplies of power to ELI and ENOI were submitted for review by FERC. Certain of the contracts became effective in June 2003, subject to refund. The process used to award the contracts was challenged by various parties.	$0.00 per share regardless of outcome given that costs associated with affiliate PPAs will be recovered in retail rates
Independent Coordinator of Transmission (ICT)	NA	Recent activity: On May 27, 2005, Entergy submitted a 205 filing to FERC as its formal application for the ICT. A final FERC order authorizing the implementation of the ICT could come during fourth quarter 2005, with earliest effective date for operation of new structure in 2006. Background: Entergy filed for FERC approval of its alternative transmission structure in April 2004. Entergy made a filing with FERC that included independent transmission oversight for various activities and included a request to implement a more efficient expansion pricing policy. In January 2005, Entergy filed for a petition for a Declaratory Order from FERC and included certain enhancements to its original ICT filing. In March 2005, FERC issued a Declaratory Order supporting Entergy-s ICT proposal with modifications.	$0.00 per share in direct impact. If rejected, Entergy could possibly be directed to renew its pursuit of an RTO which likewise would not be expected to have an immediate earnings impact.
Market-Based Rate Authority	NA	Recent activity: On June 30, 2005, FERC issued an order setting for hearing the question of whether Entergy has market power. On July 22, 2005, Entergy notified the FERC that it continues to believe it does not have market power but would cease charging market-based rates within its control area with the agreement that it could file for market-based rate authority in the future if appropriate. Entergy will file its cost-based rate tariffs on or about November 1, 2005 with the filing including three pricing structures for next day sales, sales of less than one year, and sales that exceed one year. Background: Pursuant to orders issued in April and July 2004, FERC established new interim generation market power screens. Entergy subsequently filed its generation market power analysis indicating that it passed one of the two new interim screens. Entergy also filed delivered price test analysis that indicates Entergy does not have market power in any wholesale market when Entergy-s native load obligations are reflected. In December 2004, FERC initiated a 206 proceeding to investigate a presumption of market power for Entergy.	No material impact on Entergy-s results.

Appendix D provides estimates of the impact to operational earnings resulting from changes in various revenue and expense variables. These estimates are intended to be indicative rather than precise guidance, and are based upon changes in variables which would result in increases to earnings per share. Equivalent decreases in earnings per share are estimated to result from variable changes in the opposite direction.

Appendix E-1 provides comparative financial performance measures for the current quarter. Appendix E-2 provides historical financial performance measures and operating performance metrics for the trailing eight quarters. Financial performance measures in both tables include those calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), as well as those that are considered non-GAAP measures.

As-reported measures are computed in accordance with GAAP as they include all components of earnings, including special items. Operational measures are non-GAAP measures as they are calculated using operational earnings, which excludes the impact of special items. A reconciliation of operational earnings per share to as-reported earnings per share is provided in Appendix I-1.

10. Data has not been restated for the de-consolidation of ENOI which was the accounting adopted by Entergy in third quarter 2005.

Appendix F-1 provides details on the financing authority of Entergy Corporation and each of its operating companies at September 30, 2005. Short-term authority may be for secured or unsecured financing and varies by company. Long-term borrowing authority is limited by approvals obtained from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935. Further restrictions may be imposed by local regulatory authorities.

11. Authority reflects restrictions beyond 1935 Act imposed by local regulator.
12. Liquidity data for Entergy New Orleans is not included due to its filing for protection under Chapter 11 of the

U.S. Bankruptcy Code and the subsequent decision by Entergy to de-consolidate Entergy New Orleans for
financial reporting purposes.

Entergy also announced today a new financing plan to source from $2.5 to $3.0 billion through a combination of debt and equity linked securities. The plan, which will be implemented over the next several months, will include 1) increasing the capacity on Entergy Corporation-s credit revolver by up to $1.5 billion; 2) issuing $0.5 to $1.0 billionof equity linked securities; 3) issuing up to $0.5 billion of new debt at various utility operating companies; and 4) providing funding in the amount of $300 million from the parent company to Entergy Gulf States, Inc. The timing for implementation of certain components of the new financing plan will depend, in part, on market conditions and the SEC-s registration process.

This financing plan is primarily designed to provide adequate liquidity to Entergy and its subsidiaries while storm restoration cost recovery is pursued. In addition, the plan will ensure adequate liquidity is available to support Entergy Nuclear and the competitive retail business. Depending on prevailing market prices, both of these businesses may be required to provide assurances in the form of corporate guarantees, lines of credit or cash to counterparties to demonstrate their commitments to deliver physical power at previously-established contract prices even if those prices are below market. As of September 30, 2005, Entergy provided approximately $1.7 billion of assurances to various counterparties primarily in the form of corporate guarantees. The assurance requirement associated with Entergy Nuclear is estimated to increase by an amount up to $425 million if gas prices increase $1 per MMBtu across the entire forward curve.

Appendix F-2 provides details on scheduled long-term debt maturities including currently maturing portions.

Entergy Reports Third Quarter Earnings

Clinton, Miss. - Entergy Corporation (NYSE:ETR) today reported third quarter 2005 as-reported and operational earnings of $350.0 million, or $1.65 per share. This compares to as-reported earnings of $282.2 million, or $1.22 per share, and operational earnings of $321.7 million, or $1.39 per share, in third quarter 2004.

"The two most significant natural disasters ever experienced at Entergy in Hurricanes Katrina and Rita tested the skill, the will, and the courage of our employees and certainly the patience and understanding of our customers," said J. Wayne Leonard, Entergy's chief executive officer. "Entergy has responded to the challenges posed by these unprecedented times and we are committed to continuing to provide a high level of service to our customers, to maintain a financially sound company, and to deliver top quartile returns to our shareholders."

*GAAP refers to United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Operational Earnings Highlights for Third Quarter 2005

• Utility, Parent & Other was negatively affected by two hurricanes but showed increased results due to higher weather-driven revenues, decreased operation and maintenance expense and accretion.
• Entergy Nuclear results increased as the result of higher generation due to uprates, fewer planned and unplanned outages during the current quarter and lower operation and maintenance expense and accretion.
• Entergy's non-nuclear wholesale assets business had lower results due to reduced revenues and higher operation and maintenance expense.

Entergy also announced today a new financing plan to source from $2.5 to $3.0 billion through a combination of debt and equity linked securities. The financing plan is designed to provide adequate liquidity to Entergy and its subsidiaries while storm restoration cost recovery is pursued from a combination of insurance providers, federal and state legislation, and jurisdictional regulatory proceedings.

Utility, Parent & Other

In third quarter 2005, Utility, Parent & Other earned $285.8 million, or $1.35 per share, on an as-reported basis, compared to $257.5 million, or $1.11 per share, in third quarter 2004. Operational results in each period equaled as-reported results.

Entergy New Orleans results for the quarter are included in Utility, Parent & Other earnings. However, Entergy New Orleans was de-consolidated for third quarter 2005 financial reporting purposes due to uncertainties surrounding the nature, timing, and specifics of the Entergy New Orleans bankruptcy proceedings. On September 23, 2005, Entergy New Orleans filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to protect its customers and ensure continued progress in restoring power and gas service to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

Earnings in third quarter 2005 reflect the storms' impact which reduced overall customer usage and revenues. Third quarter results also reflect an increase in net revenue due primarily to warmer-than-normal weather resulting in higher usage in the residential, commercial, and governmental sectors and lower operation and maintenance expense due to resources normally dedicated to operation and maintenance tasks being shifted to storm restoration work. In addition, a portion of the proceeds received during third quarter 2005 from a settlement with the Central Interstate Low-Level Radioactive Waste Compact Commission were applied against operation and maintenance expense. Accretion from Entergy's share repurchase program also impacted third quarter results.

Entergy New Orleans results for third quarter 2005 contributed three cents per share, compared to six cents per share one year ago. The decrease, due to outages caused by Hurricane Katrina, reflects $15 million of lower net revenue, compared to one year ago while overall fixed costs of Entergy New Orleans remained essentially unchanged.

Excluding Entergy New Orleans, megawatt-hour sales in the residential sector in third quarter 2005, on a weather-adjusted basis, were down nearly two percent, compared to third quarter 2004. Commercial and governmental sales, after adjusting for weather, were down nearly one percent, compared to the prior quarter. Industrial sales, after adjusting for the planned loss of one customer to cogeneration, experienced a decrease of nearly three percent in third quarter 2005 compared to the same period a year ago. Weather-adjusted sales usage was lower in the current period due primarily to customer outages in all customer classes caused by two major hurricanes that made landfall in the Entergy service territory during third quarter 2005.

Entergy Nuclear

Entergy Nuclear earned $69.3 million, or 33 cents per share, on both as-reported and operational bases in third quarter 2005. This compares to as-reported and operational earnings of $63.7 million, or 28 cents per share, in third quarter 2004. In third quarter 2005 Entergy Nuclear had higher generation resulting from uprates, no planned outage time and fewer unplanned outages compared to third quarter 2004. In addition, operation and maintenance expense decreased quarter to quarter due to lower refueling outage amortization expense. Also, accretion impacted Entergy Nuclear's earnings during the current period.

Energy Commodity Services

Energy Commodity Services results in third quarter 2005 include only earnings from Entergy's non-nuclear wholesale assets business. Energy Commodity Services as-reported results in third quarter 2004 included earnings from both the non-nuclear wholesale assets business and Entergy-Koch, LP.

Energy Commodity Services reported a loss of $5.1 million, or three cents per share, in third quarter 2005, compared to a loss of 17 cents per share in third quarter 2004. As-reported results in the current period reflect the absence of any results from Entergy-Koch, LP, which incurred a loss of 19 cents per share in third quarter 2004. The trading and pipeline businesses of Entergy-Koch, LP were sold in late 2004. Operational results for Energy Commodity Services were also a loss of $5.1 million, or three cents per share, in third quarter 2005, compared to no earnings on an operational basis one year ago. The loss in the current period reflects reduced revenues and increased operational costs compared to third quarter 2004.

Outlook

As of the date of this release, Entergy continues to be unable to affirm 2005 earnings guidance. Entergy is currently focused on resolving challenges and uncertainties brought on by the hurricanes. While these activities may affect near-term financial performance, the company's long-term aspirations remain in tact. Specifically, Entergy aspires to deliver average annual earnings per share growth of 5-6 percent, to achieve a 9 percent return on invested capital, and to continue to improve the company's overall credit quality over the long term. The company's ability to achieve these aspirations over time will be based upon a combination factors which include, but are not limited to, intrinsic growth, the recovery of storm-related restoration costs, the return of customers and load to portions of the Entergy service territory, and the amount of cash that is available for capital deployment in investments, share repurchases, dividends, or debt retirement.

Entergy Corporation is an integrated energy company engaged primarily in electric power production and retail distribution operations. Entergy owns and operates power plants with approximately 30,000 megawatts of electric generating capacity, and it is the second-largest nuclear generator in the United States. Entergy delivers electricity to 2.7 million utility customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. Entergy has annual revenues of more than $10 billion and approximately 14,000 employees.

Exhibit 99.4

STATEMENT ON USES AND USEFULNESS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Report on Form 8-K (the "Earnings Releases"), and the related presentation included as Exhibit 99.3, contain 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 United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, Entergy has provided quantitative reconciliations within the Earnings Releases and the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Certain non-GAAP measures in the Earnings Releases differ from GAAP only in that the figure or ratio states or includes operational earnings per share. Operational earnings per share is presented for each of Entergy's major business segments as well as on a consolidated basis. Operational earnings per share is not calculated in accordance with GAAP because it excludes the impact of "special items". Special items reflect the impact on earnings of events that are less routine, are related to prior periods, or are related to discontinued businesses. In addition, other financial measures including return on invested capital (ROIC), return on equity (ROE), and net margin are included on both an operational and as-reported basis. In each case, the metrics defined as "operational" exclude the impact of special items as defined above. Management believes financial metrics calculated using operational earnings provides useful information to investors in evaluating the ongoing results of Entergy's businesses and as sists investors in comparing the company's operating performance to the operating performance of others in the energy sector. Entergy management frequently references these non-GAAP financial measures in its decision-making, using them to facilitate historical and ongoing performance comparisons as well as comparisons to the performance of peer companies.

Other non-GAAP measures, total gross liquidity, net debt/net capital ratio, operating cash flow, free cash flow and net cash available for new investment, debt retirement, dividend increase, 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. Operating cash flow, as defined by Entergy, is net cash flow provided by operating activities, a GAAP measure, reduced by cash requirements for nuclear fuel purchases and decommissioning trust fund contributions. Free cash flow, as defined by Entergy, is operating cash flow reduced by planned maintenance capital expenditures and estimated preferred and common dividends, and does not consider other potential demands on cash such as mandatory debt service requirements. Entergy believes the above data provides useful information to investors in evaluating Entergy's ongoing financial flexibility, and assists investors in comparing the company's c ash availability to the cash availability of others in the energy sector.

The non-GAAP information presented in the Earnings Releases contains the material limitation of failing to consider a significant non-operational item that impacted earnings as calculated in accordance with GAAP and certain items that impact cash flow as calculated in accordance with GAAP, and therefore does not give a complete picture of the results of operations or cash available to the business, each as calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management compensates for this limitation by presenting its results of operation and financial condition using both the GAAP and non-GAAP measures provided in the Earnings Releases and accompanying presentation. Investors and other readers should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, as-reported earnings per share and net cash flow from operating activities, as prepared in accordance with GAAP.
