Consolidated Earnings
Table 2 provides a comparative summary of consolidated earnings per share for first quarter 2009 versus 2008, including a reconciliation of GAAP as-reported earnings to non-GAAP operational earnings. Utility, Parent & Other had lower earnings due to higher other taxes and depreciation and amortization expenses. Entergy Nuclear's earnings decreased as a result of lower revenue due to lower production resulting from additional planned refueling outage days and impairments on decommissioning trust fund investments. Entergy's Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business reported results essentially equal to those of first quarter 2008.

Consolidated Net Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities
Entergy's net cash flow provided by operating activities in first quarter 2009 was $375 million compared to $448 million in first quarter 2008. The decrease was due primarily to:

II. Utility, Parent & Other Results
In first quarter 2009, Utility, Parent & Other had earnings of $0.32 per share on an as-reported basis and $0.37 per share on an operational basis, compared to earnings of $0.48 per share on as-reported and operational bases in first quarter 2008. Operational results for Utility, Parent & Other in first quarter 2009 reflect higher taxes other than income taxes due to the absence of the benefit associated with favorable resolution of tax audit issues that was included in results in first quarter 2008. Higher depreciation and amortization expense also contributed to lower results in the current quarter.
Electricity usage, in gigawatt-hour sales by customer segment, is included in Table 4. Current quarter sales reflect the following:
The residential and commercial and governmental sales sectors reflected a decrease quarter to quarter as the continued weakening in the economy affected customer usage across these sectors. Sales in the industrial sector for first quarter 2009 decreased significantly compared to the same quarter of 2008 primarily due to a weak economic climate that worsened in the current period. Small and mid-sized industrial customers are also being negatively affected by overseas competition. Despite the lower sales volume, net revenue at the Utility was essentially flat, in part due to the fact that a significant portion of the industrial customer bill is based on a fixed charge basis that does not vary linearly with volume changes.

III. Competitive Businesses Results
Entergy's competitive businesses include Entergy Nuclear and Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets.
Entergy Nuclear
Entergy Nuclear earned $0.91 per share on an as-reported basis and $0.95 per share on an operational basis in first quarter 2009, compared to $1.12 per share on as-reported and operational bases in first quarter 2008. Entergy Nuclear's earnings decreased primarily as a result of lower revenue due to lower generation resulting from additional planned refueling outage days and lower revenue amortization for the Palisades below-market Power Purchase Agreement. Impairments recorded in the current period associated with decommissioning trust fund investments also contributed to lower earnings.
Table 5 provides a comparative summary of Entergy Nuclear's operational performance measures.

Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets

IV. Other Financial Performance Highlights
Earnings Guidance
Entergy is reaffirming 2009 earnings guidance in the range of $6.70 to $7.30 per share on an operational basis, assuming a business as usual operation for the full year. As-reported guidance ranges from $6.56 to $7.16 and reflects $(0.14) per share of projected dis-synergies associated with the spin-off of Entergy's non-utility nuclear business and plans to enter into a nuclear services joint venture, both discussed below and in Appendix A. Guidance for 2009 does not include a special item for expenses, which were incurred beginning in 2008 and continuing in first quarter 2009, anticipated in connection with the outside services provided to pursue the spin-off. Entergy has indicated that should the current economic climate and power prices on Entergy Nuclear's open position persist for the balance of 2009, earnings could approach the lower end of the guidance ranges. Year-over-year changes are shown as point estimates and are applied to 2008 actual results to compute the 2009 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. 2009 earnings guidance is detailed in Table 7 below.

Key assumptions supporting 2009 earnings guidance are as follows:
Utility, Parent & Other
Entergy Nuclear
Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets
Share Repurchase Program
Effective Income Tax Rate
Earnings guidance for 2009 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 2009 results for Utility, Parent & Other. At Entergy Nuclear, energy prices are expected to be the most significant driver of results in 2009. Estimated annual impacts shown in Table 8 are intended to be indicative rather than precise guidance.

Liquidity
At the end of the first quarter, Entergy had $1.8 billion of cash and cash equivalents on hand on a consolidated basis. Entergy also has additional financing authority, subject to debt covenants, including undrawn revolving credit facility capacity of $725 million at the end of the first quarter. Entergy routinely tests the adequacy of its liquidity under various stress scenarios and believes its current liquidity position affords the desired level of financial flexibility. Entergy Corporation's revolving credit facility requires it to maintain a consolidated debt ratio of 65 percent or less of its total capitalization. Some of the utility company credit facilities also have similar covenants.
During the first quarter, Entergy Texas successfully completed a $500 million financing in January. Entergy expects there will be similar windows of opportunity to access the credit markets in 2009. In addition, higher than projected storm expenditures for the January ice storm in Arkansas and hurricanes Gustav and Ike will result in lower operating cash flow. To the extent earnings approach the lower end of the guidance range, operating cash flow could be further reduced. Taking these factors into consideration, Entergy continues to see its net liquidity sources above $2 billion, affording the desired level of financial flexibility on a consolidated basis from a liquidity perspective.

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. Enexus Energy Corporation will be a new, independent publicly traded company. In addition, Entergy and Enexus intend to enter into a nuclear services joint venture, with equal ownership. EquaGen LLC has been selected as the name for the joint venture.
Progress achieved since the last quarter update and/or current status include:
The state regulatory decisions and financing continue as the critical path items. The rolling readiness posture enables Entergy to execute the spin-off following receipt of regulatory approvals and once the timing is right to access the credit markets, both on acceptable terms.
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 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 a new independent, publicly traded company. Enexus Energy Corporation has been selected as the name of the new company. In addition, Entergy and Enexus intend to enter into a nuclear services joint venture, with equal ownership. EquaGen LLC has been selected as the name for the joint venture. Below are transaction details and other information on Entergy, Enexus and EquaGen.
New Business Structure
Once the transaction is complete, Entergy Corporation's shareholders will own 100 percent of the common equity in both Entergy and Enexus. Enexus' 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'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, EquaGen, is expected to operate the nuclear assets owned by Enexus. EquaGen is also expected to offer nuclear services to third parties, including decommissi oning, plant relicensing and plant operations for Cooper Nuclear Station and others.
The joint venture operating structure for Enexus 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, is expected to be wholly-owned by EquaGen and 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 EquaGen Board of Managers will be comprised of equal membership from both Entergy and Enexus.
Brief Overview of Each Business
After completion of the business separation, Entergy 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.
Enexus is expected to own nearly 5,000 megawatts of nuclear generation, most of which is located in the northeastern United States. This location has some of the highest average regional power prices in the United States both today and expected into the future through at least 2020. The company will be headquartered in Jackson, Miss.
EquaGen is expected to be owned 50 percent each by Entergy and Enexus, and expected to have operating responsibility for Enexus' nuclear fleet. As a premier nuclear operator, the joint venture will have broad nuclear experience building and operating boiling and pressurized water reactor technologies. EquaGen 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 through 2012 include the following:
Top-quartile total shareholder return:
Credit quality and flexibility to manage risk and act on opportunities:
The amount of repurchases may vary as a result of material changes in business results or capital spending or new investment opportunities. Entergy and Enexus further acknowledge that limitations presented by the current credit markets, as well as depressed power prices in markets where Enexus sells power, create implications for near-term financing plans and financial results. Should these conditions extend for a prolonged period, financial aspirations would likely be affected. At the same time, current market conditions also create potential capital deployment opportunities for companies with ample liquidity which in turn creates opportunity to grow EBITDA.
2012 aspirations can be considered in association with financial sensitivities as shown in Table 11. These sensitivities illustrate the estimated change in aspiration resulting from changes in aspiration drivers. Estimated impacts shown in Table 11 are intended to be illustrative.

Transaction Timing
The state regulatory decisions and financing continue as the critical path items. Due to the continued turmoil in the financial markets and a longer regulatory approval process than originally expected, Entergy and Enexus remain in a rolling readiness posture. This strategy enables Entergy to execute the spin-off following receipt of regulatory approvals and once the timing is right to access the credit markets, both on acceptable terms. The transaction is expected to close on a month end. The transactions are subject to various approvals, outlined in the following table. Final terms of the transactions and spin-off completion are subject to the subsequent approval of the Entergy Board of Directors. Citigroup and Goldman Sachs are serving as Entergy's financial advisors in this process.
Proceeding |
Pending Regulatory Approvals - Spin-Off of Non-Utility Nuclear Business |
Nuclear Regulatory Commission |
The NRC approved Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.'s (ENO) application on July 28, 2008. The approval remains effective until July 28, 2009, at which time ENO may seek to extend the effective period. |
Request: 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, guarantees and assignments of contracts, amendment to Certificate of Public Good (CPG) to reflect name change, replacement of guaranty and substitution of a credit support agreement. Other Background: Under Vermont law, approval requires a finding that actions promote the general good of the state. In accordance with the VPSB scheduling order, testimony has been filed and the discovery process is complete. Two days of technical hearings were held on July 29 and 30, 2008, and final reply briefs were filed on August 20, 2008. The fundamental positions of the parties remain essentially unchanged with opposition to the spin-off coming from the Department of Public Service, and support for the spin-off coming from the Vermont Utilities. |
|
|
|
New York Public Service Commission |
Request: 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 Point 2 and 3, L.L.C. (ENIP2 & 3), ENO and corporate affiliate Enexus (formerly referred to as NewCo and 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.
|
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission |
FERC approved the ENO application on June 12, 2008. The approval remains effective for a reasonable period of time assuming the proposed transaction is not materially altered. |

Appendix B-2 lists special items by business with quarter-to-quarter 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 Texas |
Qualified Power Region: On April 29, 2009, ETI filed
its updated TTC plan indicating that it is agreeable to either stay in the
Southeastern Reliability Council (SERC) or move to ERCOT, depending on the
PUCT's policy direction. A prehearing conference is scheduled for May 11,
2009 to address the remainder of the procedural schedule. In addition,
legislation has been introduced in Texas addressing TTC. In its current
form, the legislation calls for ETI to cease all TTC activities, provides
ETI the opportunity to recover certain transmission costs consistent with
other companies outside of ERCOT to the extent not otherwise recovered and
requires ETI to propose a competitive generation tariff. The legislation
indicates the PUCT may initiate a proceeding to certify a power region when
conditions supporting such a proceeding exist and that the PUCT may not
approve a TTC plan until the expiration of four years from the time the
region is certified. The Texas legislature adjourns June 1, 2009. Background: Pursuant to SB 769, the PUCT has 150 days after a company makes its filing to provide an order determining the amount eligible for recovery and securitization. A company may file for a financing order prior to the expiration of the 150-day period. The PUCT has 90 days after the company makes its filing to issue a financing order, but need not issue an order until it has determined costs eligible for recovery and securitization. The legislation also calls for system restoration costs to include carrying costs using the last approved WACC from the date on which system restoration costs were incurred until the date transition bonds are issued pursuant to a financing order or until costs are otherwise recovered pursuant to SB 769. |

Entergy Gulf States Louisiana |
9.90% - 11.40% |
Recent activity: The LPSC Staff continues to review
the 2007 test year Formula Rate Plan (FRP) filing. Rate changes to date for
the filing, subject to refund, include the $5.6 million revenue deficiency
plus $21.2 million for capacity cost recovery. Background: EGSL's restoration cost estimate for hurricanes Gustav and Ike is $240 to $255 million. In lieu of seeking interim recovery, on October 9, 2008, EGSL accessed $85 million of storm reserves funded by securitized debt proceeds. On October 15, 2008, the LPSC approved EGSL's request to defer and accrue carrying cost on unrecovered storm expenditures during the period the company seeks regulatory recovery. The approval was without prejudice to the ultimate resolution of the total amount of prudently incurred storm cost or final carrying cost rate. New securitization legislation is not needed, as existing legislation extends to Gustav and Ike. |
Entergy Louisiana |
9.45% - 11.05% |
Recent activity: On March
23, 2009, the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) ruled against ELL on 2006 test
year issues subject to hearing in the fall of 2008. On April 6, 2009, ELL
filed exceptions to the proposed ALJ recommendations on the three remaining
issues, Cash Point, stock options and fixed cost contribution from lost
customers. LPSC Staff and intervenors have since filed replies to ELL's
exceptions. The ALJ will submit a final recommendation to the LPSC for a
vote which could come this summer. The test year 2007 FRP outcome is also
pending. |

Entergy Mississippi |
9.46% - 12.24% |
Recent activity: On March 13, 2009, EMI made its 2008
test year FRP filing indicating an earned ROE of 7.41% compared to a 13.16%
midpoint ROE, including 69 basis points for performance incentives (band is
11.91% - 14.42%). The filing indicated a $27 million revenue deficiency,
with a $14.5 million maximum increase allowed. The Mississippi Public
Utilities Staff (MPUS) has since disputed the filing, extending the
resolution deadline to June 30, 2009. Any approved changes in rates would be
effective for bills rendered on and after May 1, 2009. In addition, on March
31, 2009, the Mississippi Supreme Court issued a briefing schedule in the
2007 test year FRP appeal case, with EMI's brief due May 11, 2009, followed
30 days later by the MPSC's reply brief. Background: The relatively new Commission has been reviewing state utilities' practices and procedures, most notably related to fuel recovery. EMI understands the MPSC's need to obtain more information about past Commission actions, system tariffs, and issues including fuel purchases, fuel costs and power generation needs, and will continue to work with the Commission to inform, respond to questions and develop alternative policies on tariffs if they are found to be in the best interests of customers and fairly balanced with other stakeholder rights. In addition, the AG issued civil investigative demands directed at EMI and other Entergy companies related to EMI's fuel adjustment clause and other matters. The AG voluntarily dismissed this proceeding, and instead filed a complaint in state court in December 2008 against EMI and other Entergy companies alleging, among other things, violations of Mississippi statutes, fraud, and breach of good faith and fair dealing, and requesting an accounting and restitution. The litigation is wide ranging and relates to tariffs and procedures under which EMI obtains power in the wholesale market to meet electricity demand. EMI believes the complaint is unfounded, should be resolved in the appropriate regulatory forum and should not be tried in the court of public opinion. On December 29, 2008, the affected Entergy companies filed to remove the AG's suit to U.S. District Court (the appropriate forum to resolve the types of federal issues raised in the suit) where it is currently pending, and additionally answered the complaint and filed a counter-claim for injunctive and other relief based upon the Mississippi Public Utilities Act and the Federal Power Act. The AG has filed a pleading seeking to remand the case to state court. Storm Cost Recovery: EMI continues to evaluate whether the storm restoration costs will meet the threshold to draw upon the reserves. Background: EMI's restoration cost estimate for Hurricane Gustav is $18 to $20 million. As of the end of March, EMI had $32 million of storm reserves funded by securitized debt proceeds. |

Entergy New Orleans |
11.1% Electric |
Recent activity: On April 2, 2009, the City Council
of New Orleans (CCNO) approved a comprehensive settlement for ENOI's rate
case. Key provisions of the agreement include a total electric bill
reduction of $35.3 million, including conversion of the $10.6 million
voluntary recovery credit to a permanent reduction and complete realignment
of Grand Gulf recovery from fuel to base rates, and a $4.95 million gas rate
increase, both effective June 1, 2009. A new three year FRP was also
adopted, with terms including an 11.1% electric ROE and a +/- 40 basis point
bandwidth and a 10.75% gas ROE with a +/- 50 basis point bandwidth. Earnings
outside the bandwidth reset prospectively to the midpoint ROE, with the
difference flowing to customers or the company depending on whether ENOI is
over or under-earning. The FRP also includes a recovery mechanism for
Council-approved capacity additions, plus provisions for extraordinary cost
changes and force majeure. Finally, the settlement implements energy
conservation and demand programs, provides a right of first refusal for up
to a 20 percent interest in a potential Amite South generation resource and
includes the short-term opportunity to lock-in certain fuel costs for summer
2009 through a financial hedge. Storm Cost Recovery: The ENOI comprehensive rate settlement also addressed storm recovery for hurricanes Gustav and Ike. ENOI will continue to access storm reserves until all deferred operation and maintenance costs have been recovered. Capital costs (including carrying charges) shall be included in rate base as of December 31, 2009 and reflected in ENOI's initial annual FRP filing. In the interim, when rates become effective June 1, 2009, ENOI shall include capital costs in a deferred asset account until ENOI begins recovering such costs through base rates, with said costs accruing carrying charges computed using ENOI's 2009 WACC or WACC as authorized in the rate settlement. Background: ENOI's restoration cost estimate for hurricanes Gustav and Ike is $28 to $35 million. On October 9, 2008, ENOI accessed $10 million of storm reserves. |

Appendix D-1 provides comparative financial performance measures for the current quarter. Appendix D-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 measures to as-reported measures is provided in Appendix G.

Appendix E: Planned Capital Expenditures
Entergy's capital plan from 2009 through 2011 anticipates $6.5 billion for investment, including $2.5 billion of maintenance capital. The remaining $4.0 billion is for specific investments such as the balance of Utility storm capital spending and the Utility's portfolio transformation strategy, the steam generator replacement at Entergy Louisiana's Waterford 3 nuclear unit, environmental compliance spending (i.e., spending for the installation of scrubbers and low NOx burners at Entergy Arkansas' White Bluff coal plant), transmission upgrades, dry cask storage, nuclear license renewal efforts, NYPA value sharing, the Indian Point Independent Safety Evaluation, and other initiatives.
The three year capital plan includes $1.1 billion for the Little Gypsy repowering project for which Entergy Louisiana plans to make a filing seeking a long-term suspension (three years or more). Spending through December 31, 2008 was reported at $135 million. $300 million is the total projected spending in the event Little Gypsy is canceled. In addition, the Utility incurred additional storm spending for the January 2009 Arkansas ice storm ranging from $55 to $60 million.

Operational Earnings Highlights for First Quarter 2009
"In the current uncertain climate, we have focused significant effort on positioning the company for long-term success while weathering the current economic storm," said J. Wayne Leonard, Entergy's chairman and chief executive officer. "While we cannot predict what will come next in these times, we will be relentless in seeking value and managing risk, and we are prepared to seize opportunities that add value for our stakeholders."
Other Business Highlights
Entergy will host a teleconference to discuss this release at 10 a.m. CDT on Monday, May 4, 2009, with access by telephone, 719-457-2080, confirmation code 8064872. 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 8064872. The replay will also be available on Entergy's Web site at www.entergy.com.
Utility, Parent & Other
In first quarter 2009, Utility, Parent & Other had earnings of $60.0 million, or 32 cents per share, on an as-reported basis and $70.7 million, or 37 cents per share, on an operational basis, compared to earnings of $95.3 million, or 48 cents per share, on as-reported and operational bases in first quarter 2008. Operational results for Utility, Parent & Other in first quarter 2009 reflect higher taxes other than income taxes due to the absence of the benefit associated with favorable resolution of tax audit issues that was included in results in first quarter 2008. Higher depreciation and amortization expense also contributed to lower results in the current quarter.
Residential megawatt-hour sales in first quarter 2009, on a weather-adjusted basis, showed a 1.8 percent decrease compared to first quarter 2008, which was also a leap year. Commercial and governmental sales, after adjusting for weather, decreased 1.2 percent year over year. Industrial sales in the first quarter were down 13.2 percent compared to the same quarter of 2008.
The residential and commercial and governmental sales sectors reflected a decrease quarter to quarter as the continued weakening in the economy affected customer usage across these sectors. Sales in the industrial sector for first quarter 2009 decreased significantly compared to the same quarter of 2008 primarily due to a weak economic climate that worsened in the current period. Small and mid-sized industrial customers are also being negatively affected by overseas competition. Despite the lower sales volume, net revenue at the Utility was essentially flat, in part due to the fact that a significant portion of the industrial customer bill is based on a fixed charge basis that does not vary linearly with volume changes.
Entergy Nuclear
Entergy Nuclear earned $180.9 million, or 91 cents per share, on an as-reported basis and $187.5 million, or 95 cents per share, on an operational basis in first quarter 2009, compared to $221.7 million, or $1.12 per share, on as-reported and operational bases in first quarter 2008. Entergy Nuclear's earnings decreased primarily as a result of lower revenue due to lower generation resulting from additional planned refueling outage days and lower revenue amortization for the Palisades below-market Power Purchase Agreement. Impairments recorded in the current period associated with decommissioning trust fund investments also contributed to lower earnings.
Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets
Entergy's Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business incurred a loss of $5.6 million, or three cents per share, on both as-reported and operational bases in first quarter 2009 compared to a loss of $8.2 million, or four cents per share, a year ago.
Outlook
Entergy is reaffirming 2009 earnings guidance in the range of $6.70 to $7.30 per share on an operational basis, assuming a business-as-usual operation for the full year. As-reported guidance ranges from $6.56 to $7.16 and reflects (14) cents per share of projected dis-synergies associated with the spin-off of Entergy's non-utility nuclear business and plans to enter into a nuclear services joint venture, both discussed below. Guidance for 2009 does not include a special item for expenses, which were incurred beginning in 2008 and continuing in first quarter 2009, anticipated in connection with the outside services provided to pursue the spin-off. Entergy has indicated that should the current economic climate and power prices on Entergy Nuclear's open position persist for the balance of 2009, earnings could approach the lower end of the guidance ranges.
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. Enexus Energy Corporation will be a new, independent publicly traded company. In addition, Entergy and Enexus intend to enter into a nuclear services joint venture, with equal ownership. EquaGen LLC has been selected as the name for the joint venture.
Progress achieved since the last quarter update and/or current status includes:
The state regulatory decisions and financing continue as the critical path items. The rolling readiness posture enables Entergy to execute the spin-off following receipt of regulatory approvals and once the timing is right to access the credit markets, both on acceptable terms.
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 $13 billion and approximately 14,700 employees.
Additional information regarding Entergy's quarterly results of operations, regulatory proceedings, and other operations is available in Entergy's investor news release dated May 4, 2009, 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 could 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 the first quarter 2009 covered by the Releases, Entergy reported a special item for expenses incurred in connection with the plan to pursue the separation of Entergy's non-utility nuclear business and to enter into a nuclear services joint venture.. 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" would 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 results 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 Enexus' future operating performance. Entergy defines EBITDA as net earnings before the effect of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is provided as a measure of Enexus' 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.
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.
