Operational Earnings Highlights for Fourth Quarter 2007

  • Utility, Parent & Other had lower earnings due primarily to higher income tax expense.
  • Entergy Nuclear earnings increased as a result of higher revenue from pricing, production from the Palisades plant acquired in second quarter 2007, and lower income tax expense.
  • Entergy's Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business reported higher results due primarily to lower income tax expense.

"2007 closed with constructive resolution of numerous regulatory matters positioning our utility to advance its growth strategy," said J. Wayne Leonard, Entergy's chairman and chief executive officer. "In addition, the actions necessary to complete the planned non-utility nuclear spin-off remain on track for a third quarter 2008 close. Consistent with that, the Entergy Board of Directors has granted authority for $0.5 billion of the anticipated post-spin $2.5 billion share repurchase program."

Entergy's business highlights include the following:

  • Entergy won three awards from Edison Electric Institute including an Emergency Assistance Award for power restoration efforts following a January 2007 ice storm in Oklahoma as well as an Advocacy Excellence Award for its low-income initiative and an Outstanding Achievement Award for grassroots nuclear advocacy efforts in New York.
  • Final approvals were received and the separation was completed of Entergy Gulf States into two distinct companies, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C., or EGSL, and a Texas company, Entergy Texas, Inc., or ETI.
  • Entergy Nuclear supplemented its filing with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the spin-off transaction and made related regulatory filings in New York and Vermont.

 

Entergy will host a teleconference to discuss this release at 10:00 a.m. CT on Tuesday, January 29, 2008, with access by telephone, 719-457-2080, confirmation code 8984015. The call and presentation slides can also be accessed via Entergy's Web site at www.entergy.com.

The replay will also be available on Entergy's Web site at www.entergy.com.

 

I. Consolidated Results

Consolidated Earnings

Table 2 provides a comparative summary of consolidated earnings per share for fourth quarter 2007 versus 2006, including a reconciliation of GAAP as-reported earnings to non-GAAP operational earnings. Utility, Parent & Other had lower earnings due to higher income tax expense and the absence in the current period of a positive regulatory settlement included in fourth quarter 2006 results. These items were partially offset by higher revenues due to warmer-than-normal weather, increased transmission revenue and increased recovery of capacity costs. Entergy Nuclear's earnings increased as a result of higher revenue from pricing and additional production available from the Palisades plant acquired in second quarter 2007, and lower income tax expense, partially offset by higher expense primarily associated with including Palisades in the portfolio. Entergy's Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business reported higher results compared to fourth quarter 2006 due primarily to lower income tax ex pense. 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 G.

Detailed earnings variance analyses are 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 fourth quarter 2007 was $933 million compared to $1.2 billion in fourth quarter 2006. The decrease was due primarily to the following items:

  • Change in net payables/receivables totaling $127 million
  • Absence in the current period of $81 million of Community Development Block Grant funding received by Entergy Mississippi in fourth quarter 2006
  • Absence in the current period of $96 million of operating cash flow proceeds from the final disposition of the sale of Entergy-Koch, LP assets.
  • Reduced collections of deferred fuel recovery in the current quarter totaling $65 million.

The above items were partially offset by higher net revenues at Entergy Nuclear of $97 million and lower consolidated income tax payments of $24 million.

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 fourth quarter 2007, Utility, Parent & Other had earnings of $0.12 per share on as-reported and $0.19 per share on an operational basis, compared to $1.08 per share in as-reported earnings and $0.47 per share of operational earnings in fourth quarter 2006. Earnings for Utility, Parent & Other in fourth quarter 2007 reflect higher income tax expense and the absence of a regulatory settlement included in fourth quarter 2006 results. Partially offsetting these items were higher revenue due to warmer-than-normal weather, higher transmission revenue, and increased recovery of capacity costs. The higher income tax expense resulted primarily from the absence in the current period of a tax benefit realized in fourth quarter 2006, as well as the effect of annual income tax adjustments occurring in the fourth quarter each year across the Entergy companies.

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

  • Residential sales in fourth quarter 2007, on a weather-adjusted basis, showed a modest increase compared to fourth quarter 2006.
  • Commercial and governmental sales, on a weather-adjusted basis, were up 1 percent.
  • Industrial sales in the current quarter equaled sales for the same period one year ago.

The residential sales sector showed a modest increase quarter to quarter. While the number of customers increased with a corresponding rise in sales volume, usage per customer showed a slight decline in the quarter. The quarter-over-quarter increase in the commercial and governmental sectors reflects a similar increase in the number of customers. Sales in the industrial sector for fourth quarter 2007 equaled those for the same quarter of 2006 as the loss of one customer to cogeneration earlier in the year was offset by high utilization in the refining segment as well as some recovery in spot sales to cogeneration customers.

For the year 2007, Utility, Parent & Other earned $2.67 per share on an as-reported earnings basis, compared to $3.97 per share in 2006. Operational earnings in 2007 were $2.74 per share compared to $3.20 per share in 2006. The lower operational earnings in 2007 were driven by higher income taxes, non-fuel operation and maintenance, and interest expense. Partially offsetting factors were higher revenues from sales growth and regulatory actions, higher transmission revenue, and the positive effect of accretion associated with Entergy's share repurchase program.

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

  1. Customer count data reflects estimates of customers in the hardest hit areas affected by Hurricane Katrina.  Issues associated with temporary housing and resumption of service at permanent dwellings render precise counts difficult at this time.
  2. 2006 numbers do not tie to the 4th quarter 2006 earnings release because at that time, ENOI was being excluded.
  3. Excludes the effect of the nuclear alignment special item recorded in 4Q07.

 

Appendix C provides information on selected pending local and federal regulatory cases.

III. Competitive Businesses Results

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

Entergy Nuclear

Entergy Nuclear earned $0.70 per share on as-reported basis and $0.79 on an operational basis in fourth quarter 2007, compared to $0.27 in fourth quarter 2006 for as-reported and operational earnings. The improved operational results in fourth quarter 2007 came from increased revenues from pricing, the production available from Palisades, acquired in second quarter 2007, and lower income tax expense, partially offset by higher expense primarily associated with including Palisades in the portfolio. The lower income tax expense was due primarily to a step-up in the tax basis on the Indian Point 2 non-qualified decommissioning trust fund resulting from a restructuring of the trusts. This basis change resulted in a reduction in deferred taxes on the fund and lowered current tax expense. Annual adjustments occurring in the fourth quarter of each year for income taxes also lowered income tax expense.

For the year 2007, Entergy Nuclear earned $2.66 per share on an as-reported basis and $2.75 on an operational basis, compared with $1.46 per share for 2006 on both an as-reported and operational bases. The increase in 2007 operational earnings was due primarily to increased revenue from higher contract pricing and higher generation due to the addition of Palisades to the portfolio partially offset by an increase in planned and unplanned outage days in 2007 compared to 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 earned $0.14 per share on both as-reported and operational bases in fourth quarter 2007 compared to a loss of $(0.08) per share on an as-reported basis and earnings of $0.05 per share on an operational basis in fourth quarter 2006. Lower income tax expense associated with annual fourth quarter consolidated income tax adjustments was the primary driver to higher results on a quarter-to-quarter basis.

For the year 2007, Entergy's Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business earned $0.27 per share on as-reported and operational bases compared to a loss of $(0.07) per share on an as-reported basis and earnings of $0.06 per share on an operational basis in 2006. The increase in operational earnings in 2007 compared to 2006 is also due primarily to lower income tax expense.

IV. Earnings Guidance

Entergy is reaffirming 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 and in Appendix A. Year-over-year changes are shown as point estimates and are applied to 2007 actual results 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 7 below.

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
  • Decreased non-fuel operation and maintenance expense, primarily due to higher discount rate on benefit plans, absence of minimum bill write-offs, and lower storm reserves
  • 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
  • Decreased income taxes associated with absence of the 2007 fourth quarter income tax adjustments

 

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 (Additional sales after guidance was issued increased sold forward position to 92%)
  • $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
  • Increased income tax expense associated with absence of the 2007 fourth quarter income tax adjustments, a change in New York state tax law and the step-up in tax basis from restructuring the Indian Point 2 non-quali fied decommissioning trust fund

Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets

  • Increased income tax associated with the absence of the 2007 fourth quarter income tax adjustments, favorable resolution of tax audit issues, and benefits associated with project restructurings

Share Repurchase Program

  • 2008 average fully diluted shares outstanding of approximately 197 million

Special Items

  • Absence of 2007 nuclear alignment charge

Earnings guidance for 2008 should be considered in association with earnings sensitivities as shown in Table 8. 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 8 are intended to be indicative rather than precise guidance.

V. Business Separation

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.

Entergy is targeting third quarter 2008 for completion of the spin-off transaction. Progress achieved since the spin-off announcement includes:

  • A steering committee has been formed to lead the overall process and make final recommendations on all major business and operational issues; a project management office, with a cross-section of organizational functions, has been established to coordinate the spin-off process
  • A supplement to Entergy's original filing with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has been provided to the NRC to reflect the spin-off transaction
  • Filings have been made in the states of New York and Vermont as required under the laws of those states

Additional information on the spin-off including proposed new business structure, leadership teams, business overviews, financial aspirations, and a transaction timeline including regulatory filing status are included in Appendix A of this release.

VI. Appendices

Seven appendices are presented in this section as follows:

  • Appendix A includes information on Entergy's plan to separate the non-utility nuclear business from Entergy's regulated utility business through a tax-free spin-off of the non-utility nuclear business.
  • Appendix B includes earnings per share variance analysis 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.
  • Appendix D 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 E provides a summary of planned capital expenditures for the next three years.
  • Appendix F provides definitions of the operational performance measures and GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures that are used in this release.
  • Appendix G provides a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures used in this release.

Appendix A provides information on Entergy's planned spin-off of its non-utility nuclear business.

Appendix A: Spin-off of Non-Utility Nuclear Business

The announced spin-off of Entergy's non-utility nuclear business will establish two independent, publicly traded companies. SpinCo is the term being used to identify the new company yet to be named. In addition, SpinCo and Entergy Corporation intend to enter into a nuclear services joint venture, with equal ownership. Below are transaction details and other information on SpinCo, Entergy Corporation and the proposed joint venture.

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 Brattleboro, Vt., and a power marketing operation. Entergy Corporation's business will be comprised of the current six 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, p lant 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., the current NRC-licensed operator of the non-utility nuclear plants, will 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; currently serves as Entergy's executive vice president of operations

SpinCo:

Non-Executive Chairman Donald C. Hintz; currently serves as chairman of the nuclear committee for the Entergy Board of Directors

Chief Executive Officer Richard Smith; currently serves as Entergy's president and chief operating officer

Chief Operating Officer John R. McGaha; currently serves as president of planning, development and oversight for Entergy Nuclear

Joint Venture:

Chief Executive Officer and Chief Nuclear Officer Michael R. Kansler; currently serves as president and chief nuclear officer, Entergy Nuclear

Chief Operating Officer John Herron; currently serves as Entergy senior vice president of nuclear operations

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

Brief Overview of Each Business

After completion of the business separation, Entergy Corporation will consist of the current six 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 2.7 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 2008 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, $0.5 billion of which has already been authorized by the Entergy Board of Directors, with the balance to be authorized and to commence 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 F, 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 with a lower risk profile
  • 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

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.

Proceeding

Pending Regulatory Approvals

Nuclear Regulatory Commission

Request: On July 30, 2007, pursuant to Section 184 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and 10 CFR 50.80, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) requested that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) consent to the indirect transfer of control of Entergy's non-utility nuclear licenses. The transfer results from certain restructuring transactions that involve the creation of new intermediary holding companies and/or changes in intermediary holding companies for the ownership structure for the corporate entities that hold the NRC licenses.
Recent Activity: On December 5, 2007, ENO supplemented its application to provide additional information regarding the spin-off transaction, organizational structure, technical and financial qualifications and general corporate information. On January 16, 2008, the NRC published a Notice in the Federal Register establishing a 20 day period for the public to submit a request for hearing or petition to intervene in a hearing proceeding.
Next Steps: The NRC will continue to review the application and prepare a Safety Evaluation Report. If a hearing is granted, the NRC would be expected to issue a procedural schedule in the coming weeks providing for limited discovery, written testimony and a legislative-type hearing.
Other Background: A successful petitioner or hearing request must articulate an "admissible contention" in order for a hearing to be granted, i.e., a material disputed issue of fact or law within the narrow scope of the proceeding. Otherwise, the NRC's rules provide that no hearing will be conducted. Hearings are governed by special rules for expedited proceedings applicable to license transfers.

   

Vermont Public Service Board

Request/Recent Activity: On January 28, 2008, pursuant to 30 V.S.A. Sections 107, 108, 231 and 232, Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, L.L.C. (EVY), and ENO requested approval from the Vermont Public Service Board (VPSB) for the indirect transfer of control, consent to pledge assets, amendment to Certificate of Public Good (CPG) to reflect name change, replacement of guaranty and substitution of a credit support agreement.
Next Steps: VPSB is expected to post the filing on the VPSB website via
http://www.state.vt.us/psb or on the Vermont Department of Public Service website via http://www.publicservice.vermont.gov. Within three weeks of the filing, a prehearing conference is expected to be held in order to determine the procedural schedule for the proceeding. The procedural schedule resulting from the prehearing conference will establish the schedule for parties to intervene, discovery, testimony and a hearing, all to the extent it is necessary.
Other Background: Under Vermont law, approval requires a finding that actions promote the general good of the state.

   

New York Public Service Commission

Request/Recent Activity: On January 28, 2008, pursuant to New York State Public Service Law ( NYPSL) Sections 69 and 70, Entergy Nuclear Fitzpatrick, L.L.C. (ENFP), Entergy Nuclear Indian 2 and 3, L.L.C. (ENIP2 & 3), ENO and corporate affiliate NewCo (also referred to as SpinCo) filed a petition with the New York Public Service Commission (NYPSC) requesting a declaratory ruling regarding corporate reorganization or in the alternative an order approving the transaction and an order approving debt financing. Petitioners also requested confirmation that the corporate reorganization will not have an impact on ENFP's, ENIP2 & 3's, and ENO's status as lightly regulated entities, given they will continue to be competitive wholesale generators.
Next Steps: Petitions for declaratory rulings do not trigger notification requirements. However, notification for Section 69 approval of debt financing requires public notice, as does approval under Section 70 if the NYPSC decides to review the corporate reorganization under Section 70. The NYPSC is expected to publish a notice of filing, and establish a period for public response. NYPSC will follow up with a procedural schedule providing for discovery, testimony, and a hearing, to the extent it is necessary.
Other Background: The NYPSC has established a lightened regulatory regime for wholesale generators in New York, including owners and operators of nuclear generating facilities, under which PSL 70 review of changes in ownership is not required. In the Wallkill order, the NYPSC decided that under this lightened regulatory regime, PSL 70 regulation would not adhere to a transfer of ownership interest in parent entities upstream from affiliates owning and operating NY competitive electric generation facilities, unless there was a potential for harm to the interest of captive utility ratepayers sufficient to override the presumption. The NYPSC can issue a declaratory ruling that the Wallkill Presumption applies and the NYPSC need not review the corporate reorganization. If the NYPSC decides to review the corporate reorganization pursuant to PSL 70 that action triggers a review under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA). Petitioners maintain that the corporate reorganizatio n will not change the operation of their assets that could cause an adverse environmental effect. Consequently, if PSL 70 review is required, NYPSC should follow precedent, issue a negative declaration and undertake no further environmental review. Approval under Section 70 of the NYPSL requires a finding that actions are in the public interest.

   

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

Request/Recent Activity: Filing preparation is in progress. Target filing date is February 2008.
Next Steps: Pursuant to the Federal Power Act Section 203, the application will request approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for indirect disposition and transfer of control of jurisdictional facilities of a public utility. FERC is expected to publish a notice of filing and opportunity to intervene within a week of the filing, and establish an approximate 21 day period for public response. Pursuant to the EPAct of 2005, FERC will act on the application within 6 months of the filing.
Other Background: The review of the filing by FERC will ensure that the transaction will have no adverse effects on competition, wholesale or retail rates and Federal and State Regulation. Also, FERC will seek to determine that the transaction will not result in cross-subsidization by a regulated utility or pledge/encumbrance of utility assets for the benefit of a non-utility associate company.

Securities and Exchange Commission

Request/Recent Activity: Filing preparation is in progress. Target filing date is March/April 2008, following the filing of Entergy's Form 10-K.
Next Steps: Pursuant to Section 12 of the 34 Exchange Act, a Form 10 information statement will be filed to register securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Form 10 is subject to review and comments by the SEC staff and will need to be declared effective prior to the distribution.
Other Background: The Form 10 will ultimately be furnished in connection with the distribution by Entergy Corporation to its common shareholders of all of the shares of the common stock of SpinCo. The information statement will describe the distribution in detail and will contain information about SpinCo, its business, financial condition and operations.

  1. The increase in the quarter is due primarily to warmer-than-normal weather, higher transmission revenue and increased recovery of capacity costs. The year-to-date period increase is due primarily to sales growth, regulatory actions and higher transmission revenue.
  2. Increases in the quarter and year-to-date periods are due primarily to higher revenues at Entergy Nuclear from higher pricing and production from Palisades acquired during 2007.
  3. The quarter and year-to-date change is associated with carrying charges recorded in connection with storm recovery settlements in 2006 and 2007.
  4. The quarter and year-to-date increases reflect the effect of nuclear alignment expenses with the year-to-date period also including the effect of higher expense for return to normal post-storm operations maintenance work, outage scope and schedule differences, NRC fees, property insurance, ICT implementation, and write-off of minimum bill credits.
  5. The quarter and year-to-date periods reflect nuclear alignment expenses and the effect of adding Palisades to the portfolio in April 2007.
  6. Reflects the absence in 2007 of a gain recorded last year associated with receipt of the final cash distribution on the sale of Entergy-Koch, LP assets.
  7. The quarter and year-to-date increases reflect the effect of the consolidated fourth quarter income tax adjustments, absence in 2007 of tax benefits associated with liquidation of the holding company owning Entergy's investment in Entergy-Koch, LP and the net tax benefit recorded in connection with the final IRS audit settlement for the year 1996-1998. The year-to-date period also includes lower benefits associated with flow through items.
  8. The quarter and year-to-date periods reflect decreases due to the fourth quarter consolidated income tax adjustments, restructuring of the Indian Point 2 decommissioning trust, benefits associated with project restructurings, and absence of last year's tax expense associated with the write-off of tax capital losses. The year-to-date period also includes favorable resolution of tax audit issues and the effect of a change in New York state tax law.
  9. Reflects accretion associated with Entergy's share repurchase program.
  10. Reflects higher earnings on decommissioning trusts.
  11. Reflects the effect of adding Palisades to the portfolio.
  12. Reflects the effect of increased levels of plant in service at the Utility.
  13. The increase is due to higher borrowings in connection with common stock repurchases, funding the Palisades acquisition, interest associated with securitization bonds and resumption of interest payments at Entergy New Orleans.
  14. The decrease reflects the absence in the current period of a reduction in the decommissioning liability recorded in 2006 at Entergy Nuclear to reflect changes on probability of life extension.

 

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.

Entergy Arkansas

9.9%

Recent activity: Following testimony and hearings, the APSC issued a consolidated order on December 21, 2007 addressing several rate case issues. Following lack of consensus, the Annual Earnings Review process was not approved. EAI may petition for extraordinary storm damage financial relief, and the automatic sunset provision for the ECR and PCA riders was replaced with an 18 month advance notice provision for any potential future termination, following APSC notice and hearing. AEEC and the Attorney General requested rehearing on the consolidated order. EAI also filed briefs on January 18, 2008 on its appeal of the rate case order seeking to reverse the APSC's decision on a number of issues, following the APSC's earlier denial of EAI's request for rehearing on its rate case.
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. The APSC order called 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. Among other actions, the APSC approved retention through December 31, 2008 of the ECR rider for fuel and purchased power recovery and a PCA or production cost allocation rider to recover System Agreement rough production cost equalization payment for calendar year 2006 production costs. 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 whi ch EAI may be required to make payments to other operating companies to achieve rough production cost equalization.
Ouachita acquisition: In its December 21, 2007 consolidated order, the APSC also approved EAI's proposed recovery mechanism for the Interim Tolling Agreement capacity payments through a separate rider. Energy costs will be recovered through the ECR. A hearing for the asset acquisition approval is scheduled for April 8, 2008.
Background: In July 2007, EAI concluded negotiations with Cogentrix to acquire the Ouachita Power Facility, a 798MW load-following CCGT at a purchase price of $210 million assuming a December 31, 2008 close, or $325/kW including planned fossil upgrades, contingencies and transaction cost estimated at $46 million. EAI expects to sell one-third of the plant output to EGSL on a long-term basis under a separate agreement.

     

Entergy Texas

10.95%

Recent activity: On December 7, 2007, the PUCT ruled that September 26, 2008 is the effective date of new rates for ETI's rate case. A hearing is scheduled to begin May 13, 2008. In October and November, 2007 the PUCT issued orders in ETI's Transition to Competition case approving Southwest Power Pool's plan to develop information similar to that prepared by ERCOT and requesting an updated analysis of the benefits of remaining in the Southeastern Reliability Council, to support a PUCT decision on the appropriate qualified power region.
Background:
On September 26, 2007, ETI 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. ETI 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 ETI to file for rate relief through riders for incremental capacity costs (IPCR) and transition costs. In December 2005, the PUCT approved the recovery of $18 million annual capacity costs, subject to reconciliation from September 2005. On January 23, 2008, an agreement was filed with the PUCT to increase the IPCR to $21 million and to add a surcharge for $10.3 million of unrecovered costs. In June 2006, the PUCT approved a settlement in the Transition to Competition Cost recovery case, allowing ETI to recover $14.5 million per year in TTC costs over a 15-year period. In December 2006, ETI filed a Transition to Competition plan with the PUCT, proposing ETI 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. ETI 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. The securitization bonds are reflected on ETI's balance sheet post jurisdictional separation.

     

Entergy Gulf States Louisiana

9.90% - 11.40%

Recent activity: On December 13, 2007, the LPSC Staff issued a final report on EGSL's formula rate plan (FRP) filing for the 2006 test year, indicating a $1.6 million decrease in revenues for which interim rates were already in effect. In addition the Staff recommended that the LPSC agree to a one year extension of the FRP to synchronize with the final year of ELL's FRP, or alternatively extend for a longer period. EGSL indicated it is amenable to a one year extension.
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 EGSL and the LPSC.
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 and carrying charges will continue until the securitization process is complete.
Jurisdictional Separation Plan: In January 2007, the LPSC unanimously approved the Jurisdictional Separation Plan for Entergy Gulf States, Inc. At the end of 2007, EGSI separated into two vertically integrated utilities, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C. (EGSL) and Entergy Texas, Inc. (ETI).
Calcasieu acquisition: On January 16, 2008, the LPSC unanimously approved the uncontested settlement for the Calcasieu acquisition. Closing is targeted by the end of March 2008.
Background: In February 2007, EGSL announced the acquisition from Dynegy of the Calcasieu Generating Facility, a 322MW peaking unit at a cost of $57 million plus upgrade and transaction costs of $9.5 million, or $205/kW.

Ouachita acquisition: On January 16, 2008, the LPSC exercised its original jurisdiction and granted approval to recover costs associated with the Ouachita Interim Tolling Agreement. A hearing to approve entering into the long-term agreement for the purchase of one-third of the output is scheduled to begin June 23, 2008.
Background: In July 2007, EAI concluded negotiations with Cogentrix to acquire the Ouachita Power Facility. EGSL expects to purchase one-third of the plant output from EAI on a long-term basis under a separate agreement.

Entergy Louisiana

9.45% - 11.05%

Recent activity: ELL continues to seek resolution of its 2006 and 2005 FRP filings. A hearing for the 2006 filing is scheduled to begin April 29, 2008.
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's 2005 test year filing made in May 2006 indicated a 9.45% ROE, which is within the allowed bandwidth. 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. ELL's 2006 test year filing made in May 2007 indicated a 7.6% ROE. On September 27, 2007, ELL implemented an $18.4 mi llion 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. 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 and carrying charges will continue until the securitization process is complete.
Little Gypsy Repowering: On November 8, 2007, the LPSC voted unanimously to approve ELL's request to repower Little Gypsy, subject to a number of conditions, including the development and approval of a construction monitoring plan. This approval cleared the way for ELL to order vital equipment, such as boiler and piping components, so that components can be manufactured to keep the project on schedule. As a result, in January 2008, ELL finalized the terms of a target cost EPC contract with the Shaw Group. On December 21, 2007, ELL filed testimony in the Phase II proceeding seeking cash earnings on CWIP and proposing a procedure for synchronizing future base rate recovery via an FRP or base rate filing. Phase II hearings are scheduled to begin May 19, 2008.
Background: Little Gypsy is a 538MW resource that will be repowered to utilize CFB technology relying on a dual-fuel approach (petroleum coke and IL basin coal), a much needed solid-fuel baseload resource that can reduce Louisiana customers' dependence on natural gas. The projected cost estimate is $1.55 billion with an early 2012 projected in-service date.

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 incr ease 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: ENOI implemented a $3.9 million electric base rate increase on January 1, 2008 and a $4.75 million gas base rate increase on November 1, 2007, the last phase of its three-phase gas base rate plan. With New Orleans' recovery also taking place faster than expected, in December 2007, ENOI announced a voluntary plan to return an estimated $10.6 million to customers through a 6.15% base rate credit on electric bills.
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. The 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 and has submitted an additional $10.6 million for funding approval. ENOI will continue to submit storm restoration costs until the $200 million total CDBG funding allocation is reached.

System Agreement

 

NA

Recent activity: The Utility operating subsidiaries implemented FERC's rough production cost equalization remedy in June 2007 with payments/receipts resulting as detailed below. On November 2, 2007, oral argument was held on the appeals filed before the federal appeals court for the D.C. circuit on the FERC decision, and the Utility operating subsidiaries filed testimony in the bandwidth proceeding on November 16, 2007. Also in November, EMI provided notice of its intent to terminate participation in the Entergy System Agreement, and in January 2008, the LPSC unanimously voted to direct its Staff to begin evaluating the potential for a new agreement, given EAI and EMI notices of withdrawal. The CCNO also opened a docket to gather information on progress towards a successor agreement.
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. 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 thi s matter (referred to as the bandwidth proceeding) 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.

  1. Data for 1Q07, 2Q07, 3Q07, 4Q07 and 07YTD reflect the re-consolidation of ENOI. All other periods are not restated for this effect.
  2. Data has been restated for the re-consolidation of ENOI which was the accounting adopted by Entergy in second quarter 2007. 4Q07 and 07YTD exclude the effect of the nuclear alignment special.
  3. Excludes impact of major storm activity.
  4. Restated to reflect MWh billed as the denominator in the calculation.
  5. Restated data to reflect moving purchased power from production costs to non-fuel O&M. 4Q07 and 07YTD exclude the effect of the nuclear alignment special.

     

    Appendix E: Planned Capital Expenditures

    Entergy's capital plan from 2008 through 2010 anticipates $5.9 billion for investment, including $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 Texas 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.

Operational Earnings Highlights for Fourth Quarter 2007

  • Utility, Parent & Other had lower earnings primarily due to higher income tax expense.
  • Entergy Nuclear earnings increased as a result of higher revenue from pricing, production from the Palisades plant acquired in second quarter 2007, and lower income tax expense.
  • Entergy's Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business reported higher results due primarily to lower income tax expense.

"2007 closed with constructive resolution of numerous regulatory matters positioning our utility to advance its growth strategy," said J. Wayne Leonard, Entergy's chairman and chief executive officer. "In addition, the actions necessary to complete the planned non-utility nuclear spin-off remain on track for a third quarter 2008 close. Consistent with that, the Entergy Board of Directors has granted authority for $0.5 billion of the anticipated post-spin $2.5 billion share repurchase program."

Other Highlights

  • Entergy won three awards from Edison Electric Institute including an Emergency Assistance Award for power restoration efforts following a January 2007 ice storm in Oklahoma, as well as an Advocacy Excellence Award for its low-income initiative and an Outstanding Achievement Award for grassroots nuclear advocacy efforts in New York.
  • Final approvals were received and the separation was completed of Entergy Gulf States into two distinct companies, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C., and a Texas company, Entergy Texas, Inc.
  • Entergy Nuclear supplemented its filing with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the spin-off transaction and made related regulatory filings in New York and Vermont.

Entergy will host a teleconference to discuss this release at 10 a.m. CST on Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2008, with access by telephone, 719-457-2080, confirmation code 8984015. The call and presentation slides can also be accessed via Entergy's Web site at www.entergy.com. A replay of the teleconference will be available for seven days thereafter by dialing 719-457-0820, confirmation code 8984015. The replay will also be available on Entergy's Web site at www.entergy.com.

Utility, Parent & Other

In fourth quarter 2007, Utility, Parent & Other had earnings of $25.1 million, or 12 cents per share, on an as-reported basis and $38.8 million, or 19 cents per share, on an operational basis, compared to as-reported earnings of $226.6 million, or $1.08 per share, and operational earnings of $97.5 million, or 47 cents per share, in fourth quarter 2006. Earnings for Utility, Parent & Other in fourth quarter 2007 reflect higher income tax expense and the absence of a regulatory settlement included in fourth quarter 2006 results. Partially offsetting these items were higher revenue due to warmer-than-normal weather, higher transmission revenue, and increased recovery of capacity costs. The higher income tax expense resulted primarily from the absence in the current period of a tax benefit realized in fourth quarter 2006, as well as the effect of annual income tax adjustments occurring in the fourth quarter each year across the Entergy companies.

Megawatt-hour sales in the residential sector in fourth quarter 2007, on a weather-adjusted basis, showed a modest increase compared to fourth quarter 2006. Commercial and governmental sales, after adjusting for weather, were up 1 percent. Industrial sales in the current quarter equaled sales for the same period one year ago.

The residential sales sector showed a modest increase quarter to quarter. While the number of customers increased with a corresponding rise in sales volume, usage per customer showed a slight decline in the quarter. The quarter-over-quarter increase in the commercial and governmental sectors reflects a similar increase in the number of customers. Sales in the industrial sector for fourth quarter 2007 equaled those for the same quarter of 2006 as the loss of one customer to cogeneration earlier in the year was offset by high utilization in the refining segment as well as some recovery in spot sales to cogeneration customers.

For the year 2007, Utility, Parent & Other earned $540.9 million, or $2.67 per share, on an as-reported basis, compared to $838.8 million, or $3.97 per share, in 2006. Operational earnings in 2007 were $554.6 million, or $2.74 per share, compared to $676.2 million, or $3.20 per share, in 2006. The lower operational earnings in 2007 were driven by higher income taxes, non-fuel operations and maintenance, and interest expense. Partially offsetting factors were higher revenues from sales growth and regulatory actions, higher transmission revenue, and the positive effect of accretion associated with Entergy's share repurchase program.

Entergy Nuclear

Entergy Nuclear earned $141.4 million, or 70 cents per share, on an as-reported basis and $159.8 million, or 79 cents per share, on an operational basis in fourth quarter 2007, compared to $57.7 million, or 27 cents per share, for as-reported and operational earnings in fourth quarter 2006. The improved operational results in fourth quarter 2007 came from increased revenues from pricing, the production available from Palisades, which was acquired in second quarter 2007, and lower income tax expense, partially offset by higher expense primarily associated with including Palisades in the portfolio. The lower income tax expense was primarily due to a step-up in the tax basis on the Indian Point 2 non-qualified decommissioning trust fund resulting from a restructuring of the trusts. This basis change resulted in a reduction in deferred taxes on the fund and lowered current tax expense. Annual adjustments in the fourth quarter of each year for consolidated income taxes also lowered income tax expense.

For the year 2007, Entergy Nuclear earned $539.2 million, or $2.66 per share, on an as-reported basis and $557.6 million, or $2.75 per share, on an operational basis, compared with $309.5 million, or $1.46 per share, for 2006 on both as-reported and operational bases. The increase in 2007 operational earnings was primarily due to increased revenue from higher contract pricing and higher generation due to the addition of Palisades to the portfolio. It was partially offset by an increase in planned and unplanned outage days in 2007 compared to 2006.

Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets

Entergy's Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business earned $27.4 million, or 14 cents per share, on both as-reported and operational bases in fourth quarter 2007, compared to a loss of $16.0 million, or 8 cents per share, on an as-reported basis and earnings of $11.7 million, or 5 cents per share, on an operational basis in fourth quarter 2006. Lower income tax expense associated with annual consolidated income tax adjustments was the primary driver to higher results on a quarter-to-quarter basis.

For the year 2007, Entergy's Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business earned $54.8 million, or 27 cents per share, on as-reported and operational bases, compared to a loss of $15.7 million, or 7 cents per share, on an as-reported basis and earnings of $12.0 million, or 6 cents per share, on an operational basis in 2006. The increase in operational earnings in 2007 compared to 2006 is also primarily due to lower income tax expense.

Outlook

Entergy is reaffirming 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.

Business Separation

On Nov. 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.

Entergy is targeting third quarter 2008 for completion of the spin-off transaction. Progress achieved since the spin-off announcement includes:

  • A steering committee has been formed to lead the overall process and make final recommendations on all major business and operational issues; a project management office, with a cross-section of organizational functions, has been established to coordinate the spin-off process.
  • A supplement to Entergy's original filing with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has been provided to the NRC to reflect the spin-off transaction.
  • Filings have been made in the states of New York and Vermont as required under the laws of those states.

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 $11 billion and approximately 14,500 employees.

Additional information regarding Entergy's quarterly results of operations, regulatory proceedings, and other operations is available in Entergy's investor news release dated Jan. 29, 2008, a copy of which has been filed today with the Securities Exchange Commission on Form 8-K and is available on Entergy's investor relations Web site at www.entergy.com/investor_relations.

Exhibit 99.3

STATEMENT ON USES AND USEFULNESS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Report on Form 8-K (the "Releases"), 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 Releases and the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Certain non-GAAP measures in the 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 effect of "special items." Special items reflect the effect 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 average invested capital (ROIC), return on average common equity (ROE), and net margin - operational are included on both an operational and as-reported basis. In each case, the metrics defined as "operational" exclude the effect of special items as defined above. Management believes financial metrics calculated using operational earnings provides useful information to investors in evaluating the ongoing resu lts of Entergy's businesses and assists 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 to net capital ratio, and net debt ratio including off-balance sheet liabilities are measures Entergy uses internally for management and board discussions, and cash budgeting and performance monitoring activities to gauge the overall strength of its business. Entergy believes the above data provides useful information to investors in evaluating Entergy's ongoing financial flexibility, and assists investors in comparing the company's cash availability to the cash availability of others in the energy sector.

Another non-GAAP measure presented in the Releases is EBITDA. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement Entergy has used to gauge SpinCo's future operating performance. Entergy defines EBITDA as net earnings before the cumulative effect of interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other regulatory charges. EBITDA is provided as a measure of SpinCo's future performance and debt-service capacity that may be useful to securities analysis, investors and others. EBITDA is not, however, a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Due to the forward-looking nature of this non-GAAP measure, information to reconcile EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available at this time. Moreover, EBITDA is not calculated identically by all companies.

In addition, the Releases use, and Exhibit 99.1 presents, 2006 pro forma financial statements that have been adjusted to reflect Entergy New Orleans on a consolidated basis. This is a non-GAAP presentation that management believes is useful to investors in comparing Entergy's 2007 operating performance and financial position to Entergy's 2006 operating performance and financial position.

The non-GAAP financial measures and other reported adjusted items in Entergy's Releases are used in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP.  These non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures.  These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.  Investors are strongly encouraged to review our consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure.  Non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized; therefore, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.
