Operational Earnings Highlights for Third Quarter 2007

  • Utility, Parent & Other had higher earnings from the net positive effect of recent regulatory actions and higher wholesale revenue.
  • Entergy Nuclear earnings increased as a result of higher revenue from pricing and production from the newly-acquired Palisades plant and the positive effect of a lower effective tax rate in the current period.
  • Entergy's Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business reported results that were essentially unchanged from the comparable period in 2006.

"The Board of Directors' decision to pursue a plan to spin off the non-utility nuclear business to shareholders reflects the same commitment to shareholder value that has produced the highest return in the industry over the last nine years," said J. Wayne Leonard Entergy's chairman and chief executive officer. "In addition, as reflected in earnings guidance for 2008, the company remains on track to realize its aspiration of growing earnings $1 per share per year."

Entergy's business highlights include the following:

  • Entergy's Board of Directors approved a plan to pursue separation of Entergy's non-utility nuclear business and to enter into a nuclear services joint venture with the spun-off entity.
  • Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Gulf States-Louisiana received an order from the Louisiana Public Service Commission authorizing recovery for the balance of storm restoration costs, storm reserves and securitization thereof.
  • Entergy was selected, for the sixth consecutive year, as a member of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index - World, the only U.S. utility to be so honored.

 

Entergy's senior management will be available on November 5-6, 2007 at the Edison Electric Institute's Financial Conference to discuss quarterly results and other Entergy business matters with investors. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, J. Wayne Leonard will also provide a presentation on November 6, 2007 expected to start at approximately 11:15 a.m. EST. A live audio webcast of the presentation and presentation slides can be accessed via the Investor Relations section of Entergy's corporate Web site at www.entergy.com. A replay of the webcast will be available later that day and for 30 days thereafter via Entergy's corporate Web site.

 

I. Consolidated Results

Consolidated Earnings

Table 2 provides a comparative summary of consolidated earnings per share for third quarter 2007 versus 2006, including a reconciliation of GAAP as-reported earnings to non-GAAP operational earnings. Utility, Parent & Other had higher earnings from the net positive effect of recent regulatory actions and higher wholesale revenue, partially offset by higher interest expense. Entergy Nuclear's earnings increased as a result of higher revenue from pricing and additional production available from the recently acquired Palisades plant and the effect of a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by the effect of reduced production due to additional planned and unplanned outages. Entergy's Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business reported results essentially unchanged from results in third quarter 2006. Entergy's results for the current period also reflect the positive effect of accretion associated with the company's share repurchase program.

Entergy New Orleans, Inc. (ENOI) emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy during second quarter 2007 and consistent with applicable consolidation accounting and reporting standards Entergy re-consolidated ENOI for financial reporting purposes effective for second quarter and retroactive to January 1, 2007. While, in accordance with GAAP, 2006 will not be re-consolidated, to facilitate comparisons for earnings release purposes Pro-forma 2006 results re-consolidating ENOI will be reported. Reconciliations of this 2006 non-GAAP view to the GAAP view can be found in Appendix F.

Detailed earnings variance analyses are included in appendices A-1 and A-2 to this release. In addition, appendix A-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 2007 was $663 million compared to $793 million in third quarter 2006. The decrease was due primarily to the following items:

  • Reduced collections of deferred fuel recovery in the current quarter totaling $259 million.
  • Higher income tax payments for the Entergy system companies totaling $86 million.
  • Higher cash payments associated with refueling outages at Entergy Nuclear of $33 million.

The above items were partially offset by higher net revenues at Entergy Nuclear of $159 million and lower pension funding payments of $96 million at Utility, Parent and 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.

II. Utility, Parent & Other Results

In third quarter 2007, Utility, Parent & Other had earnings of $1.52 per share on as-reported and operational bases, compared to $1.35 per share in as-reported earnings and $1.32 per share of operational earnings in third quarter 2006. Earnings for Utility, Parent & Other in third quarter 2007 reflect the net positive effect of recent regulatory actions and higher wholesale revenue, as well as the positive effect of accretion associated with Entergy's share repurchase program. Partially offsetting these factors was higher interest expense associated with debt incurred to fund common stock repurchases and the Palisades acquisition, as well as interest on securitization bonds and the resumption of interest payments in September 2007 at Entergy New Orleans. Weather in the current period was comparable to the warmer-than-normal weather experienced in third quarter 2006.

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

  • Residential sales in third quarter 2007, on a weather-adjusted basis, were up less than 1 percent compared to third quarter 2006.
  • Commercial and governmental sales, on a weather-adjusted basis, were up 2 percent.
  • Industrial sales experienced a decrease of 2 percent in third quarter 2007 compared to the same period a year ago.

The residential sales segment increased less than 1 percent quarter to quarter; however, the latter part of third quarter 2007 reflected stronger sales and an improving regional economy. The quarter-over-quarter increase in the commercial and governmental sectors reflects continued recovery and ongoing growth in these sectors, while the decline in the industrial sector for the quarter reflects the loss of a customer to cogeneration, which was anticipated earlier in the year, and lower spot sales to cogeneration customers. Partially offsetting these factors was higher than expected utilization in the refining segment as well as a rebound in the chemical segment which benefited from strong export markets.

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

III. Competitive Businesses Results

Entergy's competitive businesses include Entergy Nuclear and Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets.

Entergy Nuclear

Entergy Nuclear earned $0.80 per share on as-reported and operational bases in third quarter 2007, compared to $0.50 in third quarter 2006 for as-reported and operational earnings. The improved results in third quarter 2007 came from increased revenues from pricing and the production available from Palisades, acquired in the second quarter of this year, and the positive effect of a lower effective tax rate in the current period. Partially offsetting this increase was reduced production as a result of additional unplanned outage time at Vermont Yankee. In addition, Palisades entered a planned refueling outage on September 9, 2007. There were no refueling outages in third quarter 2006.

Table 5 provides a comparative summary of Entergy Nuclear's operational performance measures.

Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets

Entergy's Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business recorded a loss of $(0.02) per share on both as-reported and operational bases in third quarter 2007 which equaled results on both as-reported and operational bases in third quarter 2006.

IV. Earnings Guidance

Entergy is reaffirming as-reported and operational earnings guidance for 2007 in the range of $5.40 to $5.70 per share. Year-over-year changes are shown as point estimates and are applied to 2006 actual results to compute the 2007 guidance midpoint. Because there is a range of possible outcomes associated with each variable, a range is applied to the calculated guidance midpoints to produce Entergy's guidance ranges for as-reported and operational earnings. When initially established, earnings guidance for 2007 excluded ENOI given the uncertainty as it worked through its Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceeding. While incorporating ENOI results in operational earnings now creates upside to the calculated guidance midpoint, when considered with other year-to-date outcomes, the current earnings guidance range of $5.40 to $5.70 per share continues to be most likely. Earnings guidance for 2007 is detailed in Table 7 below.

Key assumptions, established in October 2006, supporting 2007 earnings guidance are as follows:

Utility, Parent & Other

  • Normal weather
  • Retail sales growth of just under 2%
  • Increased revenue associated with storm and non-storm rate requests, partially offset by declining wholesale revenues, among others
  • Increased non-fuel operation and maintenance expense, primarily due to effects of wage and other inflation and increased insurance premiums
  • Increased interest expense primarily from securitization debt and Palisades financing

Entergy Nuclear

  • Incremental earnings of $0.20 total for Palisades acquisition, assuming second quarter close; Palisades' contributions to Entergy Nuclear's 2007 metrics are factored in the assumptions that follow
  • 38 TWh of total output, reflecting an approximate 92% capacity factor, including 30 day refueling outages at Indian Point 3, Pilgrim and Vermont Yankee, all in Spring 2007, and the initial refueling outage at Palisades, in Fall 2007
  • 95% energy sold under existing contracts; 5% sold into the spot market
  • $49/MWh average energy contract price; $69/MWh average unsold energy price based on published forward market prices in October 2006
  • 85% capacity sold under existing contracts; 15% sold in spot market
  • $1.60 per kW per month average capacity-only contract price; $3.00 per kW per month unsold capacity based on market prices in October 2006
  • $21.25/MWh non-fuel operation and maintenance expense reflecting wage and other inflation; $20.50/MWh production cost

Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets

  • Increased losses

Special Items

  • Absence of 2006 recognition of gain contingency associated with receipt of additional proceeds from the 2004 sale of Entergy-Koch Trading and related tax benefits from liquidation of the holding company that owned Entergy's investment in Entergy-Koch, LP
  • Absence of 2006 effect of write-off of capital losses at Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets

Share Repurchase Program

  • 2007 average fully diluted shares outstanding of approximately 206 million; excludes effect of the new $1.5 billion share repurchase program

2008 Guidance

Entergy is initiating 2008 earnings guidance in the range of $6.50 to $6.90 per share on both as-reported and operational bases on a business as usual basis. Guidance for 2008 does not include a special item for expenses anticipated in connection with the plan to pursue separation of Entergy's non-utility nuclear business and to enter into a nuclear services joint venture, both discussed below. As is the case for 2007, year-over-year changes are shown as point estimates and are applied to 2007 guidance mid-point estimates to compute the 2008 guidance midpoint. Because there is a range of possible outcomes associated with each earnings driver, a range is applied to the calculated guidance midpoints to produce Entergy's guidance ranges for as-reported and operational earnings. 2008 earnings guidance is detailed in Table 8 below.

6.50 - 6.90

Key assumptions supporting 2008 earnings guidance are as follows:

Utility, Parent & Other

  • Normal weather
  • Retail sales growth of roughly 2%
  • Increased revenue associated with rate actions
  • Increased non-fuel operation and maintenance expense, primarily due to effects of wage and other inflation
  • Increased depreciation associated with rate base growth
  • Decreased interest expense as a result of receiving proceeds from Louisiana storm securitization, net of effects on interest expense of other financings
  • Decreased other income due primarily to absence of 2007 carrying costs reflected for storm settlements

Entergy Nuclear

  • 41 TWh of total output, reflecting an approximate 94% capacity factor, including 30 day refueling outages at Indian Point 2 in Spring 2008, and FitzPatrick and Vermont Yankee, both in Fall 2008
  • 91% energy sold under existing contracts; 9% sold into the spot market
  • $54/MWh average energy contract price; $69/MWh average unsold energy price based on published market prices in October 2007
  • $22.10/MWh non-fuel operation and maintenance expense/purchased power with increase primarily due to full year of Palisades operation (acquired mid April 2007); $21.30/MWh production cost
  • Increased depreciation due to continued investment in nuclear fleet and full year of Palisades operation

 

Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets

  • Continued losses based on limited market opportunities

Share Repurchase Program

  • 2008 average fully diluted shares outstanding of approximately 197 million

Earnings guidance for 2008 should be considered in association with earnings sensitivities as shown in Table 9. These sensitivities illustrate the estimated change in operational earnings resulting from changes in various revenue and expense drivers. Utility sales are expected to be the most significant variable for 2008 results for Utility, Parent & Other. At Entergy Nuclear, energy prices are expected to be the most significant driver of results in 2008. Estimated annual impacts shown in Table 9 are intended to be indicative rather than precise guidance.

V. Business Separation and Financial Aspirations

On November 3, 2007, Entergy's Board of Directors approved a plan to pursue a separation of the non-utility nuclear business from Entergy's regulated utility business through a tax-free spin-off of the non-utility nuclear business. SpinCo, the term used to identify the new company yet to be named, will be a new independent publicly traded company. In addition, SpinCo and Entergy Corporation intend to enter into a nuclear services joint venture, with equal ownership.

New Business Structure

Once the transaction is complete, Entergy Corporation's shareholders will own 100 percent of the common equity in both SpinCo and Entergy. SpinCo's business is expected to be comprised of the non-utility nuclear assets, including the Pilgrim Nuclear Station in Plymouth, Mass., the James A. FitzPatrick and Indian Point Energy Center plants in Oswego and Buchanan, N.Y., respectively, the Palisades plant in Covert, Mich., and the Vermont Yankee plant in Vernon, Vt., and a power marketing operation. Entergy Corporation's business will be comprised of the current five regulated utility operating subsidiaries, System Energy Resources, Inc., the related services subsidiaries System Fuels, Inc., Entergy Operations, Inc. and Entergy Services, Inc., and the remaining Entergy subsidiaries. The newly created joint venture is expected to operate the nuclear assets owned by SpinCo. The joint venture is also expected to offer nuclear services to third parties, including decommissioning, plant relicensing and plant operations for the Cooper Nuclear Station and others.

The joint venture operating structure for SpinCo ensures that the core nuclear operations expertise currently in place at each of the non-utility nuclear plants will remain after the spin-off.  Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. will supplement its application filed July 30, 2007 with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, seeking indirect transfer of control of the operating licenses for the non-utility nuclear fleet, to incorporate the planned business separation. Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., the current NRC-licensed operator of the non-utility nuclear plants, would remain the operator of the plants after the separation.  Entergy Operations, Inc., the current NRC-licensed operator of Entergy's utility nuclear plants, will also remain in place as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Entergy and will continue to be the operator of the utility nuclear plants.  The decision to retain the existing operators for the nuclear stations reflects Entergy's commitment to maintaining safety, security and operational excellence.

Leadership Team

The Entergy Board of Directors has approved certain elements of the leadership structure and designated individuals who will fill key board and management roles. The Joint Venture Board of Directors will be comprised of equal membership from both Entergy and SpinCo. Additional details on the structure and leadership will be made available in the coming months. Those assuming new roles or additional responsibilities include:

Entergy Corporation:

Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Mark Savoff

  • Nearly 30 years of industry experience, including nuclear leadership roles at GE Power Systems and Entergy
  • Currently serves as Entergy's executive vice president of operations with responsibility for the business operations of system planning, performance management, safety and environment, weekly procurement process, utility group regulatory support, fossil generation and transmission organizations
  • Previously served as vice president & corporate officer of GE Power Systems, Nuclear Energy and general manager, GE Power Systems, Nuclear Energy where he led the implementation of third party nuclear fuel joint venture and also led the turnaround of GE's global nuclear services business

SpinCo:

Non-Executive Chairman Donald C. Hintz

  • Over 30 years of experience in the electric utility industry, including nearly 20 years as a nuclear executive with Entergy
  • Elected to the Entergy Board of Directors after retiring as president of Entergy in 2004, currently serves as Chairman of the nuclear committee for the Entergy Board of Directors
  • Received the 2004 Platts Global Energy Lifetime Achievement Award for his long and varied career of service, creativity and insight, and contribution to the development and future of the energy industry
  • Currently serves as president of the American Nuclear Society

Chief Executive Officer Richard Smith

  • More than 30 years of experience in the electric utility industry, including over 10 years of experience as an executive officer
  • Currently serves as Entergy's president and chief operating officer with responsibility for Entergy Nuclear and Entergy Operations, which includes fossil plant operations, transmission operations, system environmental and safety, system planning, compliance and performance management
  • Previously served as president of Cinergy Resources, Inc. where he managed and directed Cinergy's non-regulated retail gas supply business and also developed Cinergy's non-regulated retail electric supply business in anticipation of retail open access in Ohio

Chief Operating Officer John R. McGaha

  • Nearly 30 years of experience with Entergy's nuclear program
  • Currently serves as president of planning, development and oversight for Entergy Nuclear with responsibility for planning and innovation; business development and new plant activities; and oversight
  • Previously served as president, Entergy Nuclear South with responsibility for Entergy's five nuclear units in its retail electric service area
  • Retired from the U.S. Naval Reserve with the rank of captain

Joint Venture:

Chief Executive Officer and Chief Nuclear Officer Michael R. Kansler

  • Nearly 30 years of experience in the nuclear industry
  • Currently serves as president and chief nuclear officer, Entergy Nuclear with responsibility for all of Entergy's nuclear plants located throughout New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, Michigan, Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas, as well as the company's management of the Cooper Nuclear Station for the State of Nebraska
  • Previously served as vice president, nuclear services, Virginia Power (now Dominion Resources) with responsibility for the operation of Surry and North Anna, twin-unit nuclear power stations

Chief Operating Officer John Herron

  • Nearly 30 years of experience in the nuclear industry
  • Currently serves as Entergy senior vice president of nuclear operations with responsibility for the operational side of nuclear fleet management
  • Previously served as chief operating officer of Entergy Nuclear Northeast overseeing the day-to-day operations of all Entergy non-utility nuclear plants, including the Pilgrim Nuclear Station, the James A. FitzPatrick and Indian Point Energy Center plants, and the Vermont Yankee power plant.

Executive management at Entergy that remains unchanged includes:

  • Chairman and Chief Executive Officer J. Wayne Leonard
  • Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Leo Denault
  • Group President Utility Operations Gary Taylor
  • Executive Vice President of External Affairs Curt Hebert
  • Executive Vice President and General Counsel Robert Sloan
  • Chief Nuclear Officer Michael Kansler

"While the operating results of the non-utility nuclear plants have contributed substantially to Entergy's profitability, the full value of the investment has not and is unlikely to be recognized or realized embedded in a 'utility' which has a separate set of investment and credit needs," said Leonard. "Over the last nine years, shareholders have put considerable capital at risk as we started and grew this business. The planned transaction provides shareholders a first-of-its-kind, pure play on emission-free nuclear power and on the environmental needs as the states, the nation and the world move inexorably toward a less carbon intensive future."

"Shareholders have been patient, and the proposed structure provides a very real opportunity for full value realization while maintaining the safety, security, and operational excellence of our entire (utility and non-utility) nuclear fleet," Leonard said. "Moreover, good corporate governance dictates the decision to buy, hold or sell this uniquely positioned segment of our business and this industry be available to shareholders to execute consistent with their individual points of view. In the spin-off, shareholders will receive a highly-liquid publicly-traded stock that we believe will be better recognized for its innate and scarcity value."

Brief Overview of Each Business

After completion of the business separation, Entergy Corporation will consist of the current five electric utility subsidiaries in four contiguous states with generating capacity of more than 22,000 megawatts and 15,000 miles of transmission lines. Entergy will be a customer service-focused electric and gas utility with a unique growth opportunity through its portfolio transformation strategy that benefits customers. The company will deliver electricity to 2.6 million customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas and will remain headquartered in New Orleans, LA.

SpinCo is expected to own nearly 5,000 megawatts of nuclear generation, most of which is located in the northeastern United States. This location is a very capacity constrained region both in terms of electricity generating capacity and its primary fuel input, natural gas. These factors result in the highest average regional power prices in the United States both today and expected into the future through at least 2020. SpinCo will be uniquely positioned as the only pure-play, emission-free nuclear generating company in the United States. The company will be headquartered in Jackson, Miss.

The new joint venture, is expected to be owned 50 percent each by Entergy and SpinCo, and expected to have operating responsibility for SpinCo's nuclear fleet and to continue to supply contracted services currently being provided to the Nebraska Public Power District for the Cooper Nuclear Station. As a premier nuclear operator, the joint venture will have broad nuclear experience building and operating boiling and pressurized water reactor technologies. The joint venture is expected to be uniquely positioned to grow through offerings of nuclear operating expertise, as well as ancillary nuclear services to third parties, including plant decommissioning and relicensing. The company will be headquartered in Jackson, Miss.

Financial Aspirations

The companies will continue to aspire to deliver superior value to owners as measured by total shareholder return. The companies believe top-quartile shareholder returns are achieved by growing earnings, delivering returns at or above the risk-adjusted cost of capital, maintaining credit quality and flexibility, and deploying capital in a disciplined manner, whether for new investments, share repurchases, dividends or debt retirements.

Financial aspirations currently in place for Entergy today can be tailored to each of the businesses going forward. Financial aspirations for the period 2007 through 2012 include the following:

Top-quartile total shareholder return:

  • Entergy: 6-8% annual earnings per share growth, a 70 to 75% dividend payout ratio target, and capacity for a new share repurchase program targeted at $2.5 billion commencing following completion of spin-off
  • SpinCo: $2 billion in earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense (EBITDA), a non-GAAP financial measure defined in Appendix E, for the existing non-utility nuclear fleet portfolio by 2012, assuming an average power price on open positions of roughly $95/MWh, generating cash flow for acquisitions and/or distributions through share repurchases in the range of $0.5 billion to $1 billion annually

Credit quality and flexibility to manage risk and act on opportunities

  • Entergy: investment grade credit and a business position upgrade
  • SpinCo: strong merchant credit, relative to others (subject to market terms and conditions, SpinCo expects to execute roughly $4.5 billion of debt financing)

The amount of repurchases may vary as a result of material changes in business results or capital spending or new investment opportunities.

Transaction Timing and Other Details

Entergy is targeting third quarter 2008 as the effective date for the spin-off and joint venture transactions to be completed and expects the transactions to qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes for both Entergy and its shareholders. The transactions are subject to various approvals. Final terms of the transactions and spin-off completion are subject to the subsequent approval of the Entergy Board of Directors. In addition, as Entergy pursues completion of the separation and establishment of the joint venture, Entergy will continue to consider, in conjunction with its financial advisors, possible modifications to and variations upon the transaction structure, including a sponsored spin-off, a partial initial public offering preceding the spin-off or the addition of a third party joint venture partner. Citigroup and Goldman Sachs are serving as Entergy's financial advisors in this process.

  1. Net revenue increased in the quarter and year-to-date periods due primarily to the effect of recent regulatory actions, as well as higher wholesale revenue and sales volume.
  2. Net revenue increased in the quarter and year-to-date periods due primarily to higher revenues at Entergy Nuclear due to higher pricing and additional production from Palisades which was acquired in April 2007.
  3. Reflects accretion associated with Entergy's share repurchase program.
  4. Interest and dividend income increased in the quarter and year-to-date periods due primarily to carrying charges recorded in connection with storm recovery settlements.
  5. Decreases in the quarter and year-to-date periods are due primarily to a change in New York state tax law resulting in a lower effective tax at Entergy Nuclear. The year-to-date decrease also reflects the favorable resolution of tax audit issues.
  6. Reflects the effect of a regulatory requirement for Entergy Arkansas, Inc., effective third quarter 2006, whereby franchise tax collections are recorded in revenue with a corresponding increase in taxes other than income taxes. Third quarter 2006 included a true-up for this change.
  7. The decrease reflects the absence in the current period of a reduction recorded to the decommissioning liability in 2006 at Entergy Nuclear to reflect changes on probability of life extension.
  8. Increases in the quarter and year-to-date periods are due primarily to higher borrowings in connection with common stock repurchases and funding the Palisades acquisition, and interest associated with securitization bonds and resumption of interest payments at Entergy New Orleans.
  9. The increases in the quarter and year-to-date are due primarily to the write-off of minimum customer bill credits at Entergy New Orleans and Entergy Louisiana. Adding to the year-to-date increase are higher distribution, transmission and fossil spending, reflecting a return to normal post-storm maintenance work. In addition, an unplanned River Bend outage, higher NRC fees, higher property insurance premiums, higher spending for independent coordinator of transmission, and fossil outage scope and schedule differences contributed to the increase for the year-to-date period.
  10. The increase primarily reflects expenses associated with Palisades which was acquired in April 2007.
  11. The increase primarily reflects higher earnings on Entergy Nuclear's decommissioning trusts.
  12. The increase is due primarily to absence of the favorable resolution of a tax audit issue in 2006 and lower benefits associated with flow through items.
  13. Reflects the absence of results of discontinued retail business operations, including the gain on the sale of this business in second quarter 2006.

 

Appendix A-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.

Entergy Arkansas

9.9%

Recent activity: On September 12, 2007, EAI filed a notice of appeal on numerous issues in the Arkansas Court of Appeals, following the APSC's denial on August 13, 2007 of EAI's request for rehearing on its rate case. The APSC order calls for a $5.1 million rate reduction, 9.9% ROE and a hypothetical common equity level lower than EAI's actual capital structure. The base rate change was implemented August 29, 2007. Pursuant to the rate order, EAI also filed testimony on October 15, 2007 regarding the development of an Annual Earnings Review process. Among other actions, the APSC approved retention through December 31, 2008 of the ECR rider for fuel and purchased power recovery and a production cost allocation rider to recover the System Agreement rough production cost equalization payment for calendar year 2006 production costs.
Background: EAI's base rates and Rider ECR have been in effect since 1998.  On August 25, 2006, EAI filed a rate case requesting a $150 million increase based on a June 30, 2006 test year using an 11.25% ROE. The rate increase was revised to $106.5 million on rebuttal primarily to remove a plant acquisition included in the initial filing. In December 2005, EAI provided notice of its intent to terminate participation in the Entergy System Agreement, following a final order from FERC establishing terms under which EAI may be required to make payments to other operating companies to achieve rough production cost equalization.

     

Entergy Gulf States - TX

10.95%

Recent activity: On September 10, 2007, EGSI-TX filed to increase its incremental capacity cost rider to $25 million and to add a surcharge for unrecovered amounts through July 31, 2007. On September 26, 2007, EGSI-TX filed a rate case consisting of three major requests for relief: a $64.3 million base rate increase, a $43.2 million request for various riders, and a fuel reconciliation for the period January 2006 through March 2007 in the amount of $858 million. The rate case is based on a March 31, 2007 test year using an 11% ROE. On October 24, 2007, the PUCT issued an interim order on EGSI-TX's Transition to Competition plan directing EGSI-TX to work with the Southwest Power Pool to develop information similar to that prepared by ERCOT to support a PUCT decision on the appropriate qualified power region for EGSI-TX.
Background: EGSI-TX has operated under a base rate freeze since 1999. Legislation subsequently enacted in June 2005 extended the base rate freeze to mid 2008 but also allowed EGSI-TX to file for rate relief through riders for incremental capacity costs and transition costs. In December 2005, the PUCT approved the recovery of $18 million annual capacity costs, subject to reconciliation from September 2005. In June 2006, the PUCT approved a settlement in the Transition to Competition Cost recovery case, allowing EGSI-TX to recover $14.5 million per year in TTC costs over a 15-year period. In December 2006, EGSI-TX filed a Transition to Competition plan with the PUCT, proposing EGSI-TX join ERCOT as it represents the most viable path to full customer choice.
Storm Cost Recovery: On June 29, 2007, Entergy Gulf States Reconstruction Funding I, LLC, a company wholly-owned and consolidated by EGSI, issued $329.5 million of senior secured transition (securitization) bonds. EGSI-TX began cost recovery through the transition charge in July 2007, and the transition charge is expected to remain in place over a 15-year period.

     

Entergy Gulf States - LA

9.90% - 11.40%

Recent activity: On May 31, 2007, EGSI-LA made its formula rate plan (FRP) filing for the 2006 test year, indicating a 10.03% ROE, which is within the allowed bandwidth. On September 27, 2007, EGSI-LA implemented a $4.1 million rate increase for capacity costs associated with certain purchased power agreements, subject to refund.
Background: In March 2005, the LPSC approved a Global Settlement which established an FRP with a 10.65% ROE midpoint and a +/- 75 basis point bandwidth and a recovery mechanism for Commission approved capacity additions. Earnings outside the bandwidth are allocated 60% to customers and 40% to the company. The 2006 test year filing is the third of three approved filings by the LPSC. The FRP may be extended by mutual agreement of EGSI-LA and the LPSC. On October 29, 2007, EGSI-LA implemented a $16.4 million FRP decrease due to reclassification of certain franchise fees from base rates to collection via a line item on customer's bills pursuant to an LPSC General Order. 
Storm Cost Recovery: On August 1, 2007, the LPSC approved $187 million as the balance of storm restoration costs for recovery and established $87 million as a reserve for future storms, both to be securitized in the same amounts. In May 2006, EGSI-LA completed the $6 million interim recovery of storm costs through the fuel adjustment clause pursuant to the LPSC order. Beginning in September 2006, interim recovery shifted to the FRP at the rate of $0.85 million per month. Interim recovery will continue until the securitization process is complete.

Jurisdictional Separation Plan: In January 2007, the LPSC unanimously approved the Jurisdictional Separation Plan for EGSI. The target date for completing the separation is estimated to be the end of 2007.

     

Entergy Louisiana

9.45% - 11.05%

Recent activity: On May 15, 2007, ELL made its FRP filing for the 2006 test year, indicating a 7.6% ROE. On September 27, 2007, ELL implemented an $18.4 million increase, subject to refund, $23.8 million representing a 60% adjustment to reach the bottom of the FRP band, net of $5.4 million for reduced capacity costs. The LPSC will allow ELL to defer the difference between the $39.8 million requested for unrecovered fixed costs for extraordinary customer losses associated with Hurricane Katrina and the $23.8 million 60% adjustment as a regulatory asset, pending ultimate LPSC resolution of the 2006 FRP filing.
Background: In May 2005, the LPSC approved a settlement reestablishing the Company's FRP with a 10.25% ROE midpoint and a +/- 80 basis point bandwidth and a recovery mechanism for Commission-approved capacity additions. Earnings outside the bandwidth are allocated 60% to customers and 40% to the company. The 2006 test year filing is the second of three approved filings by the LPSC. The FRP may be extended by the mutual agreement of ELL and the LPSC. ELL continues to seek resolution of its FRP filing for the 2005 test year made in May 2006, indicating a 9.45% ROE, which is within the allowed bandwidth, and for which rates were implemented on September 28, 2006 subject to refund consisting of $119 million for deferred and ongoing capacity costs and $24 million for interim storm cost recovery. This increase reflects certain adjustments proposed by the LPSC Staff with which ELL agrees. On October 29, 2007, ELL implemented a $7.1 million FRP decrease which is primarily due to the reclassification of certain franchise fees from base rates to collection via a line item on customer's bills pursuant to an LPSC General Order.
Storm Cost Recovery: On August 1, 2007, the LPSC approved $545 million as the balance of storm restoration costs for recovery and established $152 million as a reserve for future storms, both to be securitized in the same amounts. In April 2006, ELL completed the $14 million interim recovery of storm costs through the fuel adjustment clause pursuant to the LPSC order. Beginning in September 2006, interim recovery shifted to the FRP at the rate of $2 million per month. Interim recovery will continue until the securitization process is complete.

Pending Cases/Events

Retail Regulation

Entergy Mississippi

9.46% - 12.24%

Recent activity: None
Background: EMI has been operating under a FRP last approved in December 2002. The FRP allows the company's earned ROE to increase or decrease within a bandwidth with no change in rates; earnings outside the bandwidth are allocated 50% to customers and 50% to the company, but on a prospective basis only. The plan also provides for performance incentives that can increase or decrease the benchmark ROE by as much as 100 basis points. The MPSC approved a joint stipulation between EMI and the Mississippi Public Utilities Staff on June 6, 2007, calling for a $10.5 million increase effective with July billings for EMI's 2006 test year FRP filing. In December 2005, the MPSC approved the purchase of the Attala facility and ordered interim recovery. In October 2006, the MPSC approved EMI's filing to revise the Power Management Rider Schedule to extend beyond 2006 recovery of EMI's Attala costs, effective for bills on/after January 1, 2007. In December 2006, the MPSC approved EMI's request to increase several fees (connect, reconnect, late payment and returned check) effective January 1, 2007.
Storm Cost Recovery: The Mississippi Development Corporation, an entity created by the state, issued securitization bonds. EMI received proceeds in the amount of $48 million on May 31, 2007, reflecting recovery of remaining $8 million storm restoration costs and $40 million to increase EMI's storm reserve. To service the bonds, EMI will collect a system restoration charge on behalf of the state and will remit collections to the state. In October 2006, EMI received $81 million in CDBG funding, pursuant to MPSC Orders approving recovery of $89 million storm restoration costs.

Entergy New Orleans

10.75%

Recent activity: None
Background:  Prior to Hurricane Katrina, ENOI operated under a FRP with a ROE mid-point of 10.75%, a 45% hypothetical equity ratio, and electric and gas ROE bandwidths of 100 and 50 basis points, respectively. In October 2006, the City Council of New Orleans (CCNO) unanimously approved a settlement agreement with ENOI that called for a phased-in rate increase to ensure the company's ability to focus on restoration of the gas and electric systems, and created a $75 million storm reserve via a storm reserve rider beginning in March 2007 that positions ENOI to pay for future hurricane damage. When fully implemented by January 1, 2008, electric base rates will increase by $3.9 million and gas base rates by $11.0 million. Grand Gulf fuel adjustment clause recovery is also retained. Absent extraordinary circumstances, there will be no further base rate adjustments until April 2009. The order allows ENOI to seek reinstatement of an appropriate FRP following the resetting of rates in 2009.
Storm Cost Recovery: The October 2006 agreement established storm reserve riders for electric and gas and a process for storm cost recovery. The $200 million CDBG funding allocated by the Louisiana Recovery Authority in October 2006 is to be applied to storm costs; any storm costs in excess of the $200 million and insurance receipts will be addressed in ENOI's July 2008 rate filing. Storm reserve rider builds a $75 million reserve for future storm costs over a 10 year period. To date, ENOI has received $180.8 million of CDBG funding for ratepayer mitigation of storm costs. ENOI will continue to submit storm restoration costs until the $200 million total CDBG funding allocation is reached.

Wholesale Regulation (FERC)

System Energy Resources, Inc.

10.94%

Recent activity: None
Background: ROE approved by July 2001 FERC order. No cases pending.

     

System Agreement

 

NA

Recent activity: The Utility operating subsidiaries implemented FERC's rough production cost equalization remedy in June 2007 with the payments/receipts resulting as detailed below. In July 2007, the FERC accepted the proposed rates for filing, allowed them to go into effect July 30 subject to refund, and set them for hearing and settlement procedures. Settlement discussions were not successful and a procedural schedule has been established with the hearing in this matter currently scheduled to commence in late May 2008. In September 2007, FERC issued an Order on Remand in a proceeding referred to as the Interruptible/Curtailable proceeding. This proceeding considered how interruptible load, joint account purchases and the allocation of net margin for off-system sales would be considered in calculating the load responsibility for Entergy operating companies and the resulting effect on system production costs. FERC ordered that interruptible load be eliminated from calculations effective April 1, 2004 and ordered refunds for a 15 month period beginning May 1995. Entergy's operating companies filed a request for rehearing of the FERC decision and were granted a request to extend the deadline for any refunds until 30 days after the FERC issues an order on rehearing. The Entergy operating companies believe that any refund amounts would be recoverable in future rates. In addition, oral argument was held on November 2, 2007 on the appeals filed before the federal appeals court for the D.C. circuit on the FERC decision, as discussed below.
Background: The System Agreement case addresses reallocation of production costs among the utility operating subsidiaries. In June 2005, the FERC issued its decision and established a bandwidth of +/- 11 % to reallocate production costs and ordered that this approach be applied prospectively. In December 2005, FERC established, among other things, that 1) the bandwidth would be applied to calendar year 2006 actual production costs and 2) 2007 would be the first possible year of payments among Entergy's operating companies. Based on calendar year 2006 production costs, EAI will pay $251.7 million to EGSI ($120.1 million), ELL ($91 million) and EMI ($40.6 million). ENOI is neither a payer nor recipient because its production costs were sufficiently close to the system average such that no payments or receipts were required. EAI will recover the approximate $231 million retail portion through the production cost allocation rider approved by the APSC, with rates becoming effective for July billing. Receipts for the other utility companies are being reflected predominantly as reductions in fuel expense. Appeals of the FERC decision were filed by the APSC, LPSC, MPSC and AEEC in the federal appeals court for the D.C. circuit. These appeals have been consolidated. The City of New Orleans intervened in the LPSC appeal, and Entergy has intervened in all appeals. A Compliance filing to implement the FERC decision in this case was filed by Entergy at FERC on April 10, 2006 which proposed that all payments required by the June 2005 FERC decision be properly reflected as fuel costs. Various comments or protests to the Compliance filing were filed by various parties including a request for summary judgment by the LPSC.

Appendix C-1 provides comparative financial performance measures for the current quarter. Appendix C-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 F-1.

  6. Appendix D: Planned Capital Expenditures - Preliminary

    Entergy's capital plan from 2008 through 2010 anticipates $5.9 billion for investment, including roughly $2.7 billion of maintenance capital. The remaining $3.2 billion is for specific investments such as the Utility's portfolio transformation strategy (i.e., Calcasieu and Ouachita acquisitions and Little Gypsy repowering), the steam generator replacement at Entergy's Waterford 3 nuclear unit, environmental compliance spending, transmission upgrades, business function relocation, dry cask storage and nuclear license renewal projects, NYPA value sharing and other initiatives. A potentially significant item not included in these estimates is the cost associated with the proposed inter-connection between Entergy Gulf States-TX and ERCOT (up to approximately $1 billion). In addition, only minimal amounts for potential new nuclear development at the Grand Gulf and River Bend sites at the Utility are included. Entergy will provide 2008 through 2010 details on planned capital expenditures in its fourth quarter earnings release and the 2007 Form 10-K. Included below are preliminary estimates of projected capital expenditures by business segments and the major categories of investing capital included in these expenditures.

    Appendix E provides definitions of certain operational performance measures, as well as GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, all of which are referenced in this release.
