Entergy Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Results;
Initiates 2017 Earnings Guidance
2016 results consistent with guidance; accomplishments set stage for future growth

NEW ORLEANS - Entergy Corporation (NYSE: ETR) reported a fourth quarter 2016 loss of $(9.88) per share on an as-reported basis and earnings of 31 cents per share on an operational basis. For the full year, the company reported a loss of $(3.26) per share on an as-reported basis and operational earnings of $7.11 per share. The as-reported losses for the quarter and full year resulted from asset impairments reflecting the effects of strategic decisions in the EWC business.

“2016 was a pivotal year for our company - a year in which our objectives were ambitious and our execution was on the mark,” said Entergy chairman and chief executive officer Leo Denault. “We completed our plan to exit the merchant power business and transition to a pure-play utility. While previously disclosed charges at our EWC business led to an as-reported loss, adjusted earnings at our core Utility, Parent & Other business increased by more than 40 percent in 2016. Our strong operational results for the year are the outcome of disciplined execution on our strategy over the past few years, a strategy intended to fundamentally reposition our company and set it on a steady, predictable earnings and dividend trajectory.”

Consolidated Results

For fourth quarter 2016, the company reported a loss of $(9.88) per share on an as-reported basis and EPS of 31 cents on an operational basis, compared to fourth quarter 2015 EPS of 56 cents on an as-reported basis and operational EPS of $1.58. For the full year, the company reported an as-reported loss of $(3.26) per share and operational EPS of $7.11, compared to a 2015 as-reported loss of (99) cents per share and operational EPS of $6.00. Summary discussions by business are below.

Additional details, including information on OCF by business, are provided in Appendix A and a comprehensive analysis of quarterly and year-to-date variances is provided in Appendix B.






Utility, Parent & Other Results

For fourth quarter 2016, Utility, Parent & Other EPS were 35 cents on an as-reported basis and 27 cents on an adjusted basis. In fourth quarter 2015, Utility, Parent & Other as-reported EPS were $1.42 and a (12) cents per share loss on an adjusted basis. 2015 results included a significant income tax item, a portion of which was reserved for sharing with customers of ELL. Last year’s results also reflected charges for outstanding regulatory matters; there were similar, but smaller, charges in the current period.

The current period results reflected continued growth in the Utility business, including effects of new rate actions that recover investments that benefit customers and improve returns.

Net revenue increased quarter-over-quarter driven largely by the Union acquisition, EAI’s rate case and EMI’s FRP. Revenue increases for Union included amounts to recover operating expenses for the assets.

Billed retail sales volume increased quarter-over-quarter. The increase was partly due to weather, but the Utility realized higher billed sales, even on a weather-adjusted basis, across all customer classes. However, estimated volume in the current unbilled period was lower than fourth quarter 2015.

Utility non-fuel O&M was higher than fourth quarter 2015 due partly to an increase in nuclear generation spending and higher fossil spending primarily related to Union. Pension and OPEB expenses declined quarter-over-quarter.

For the full year, 2016 Utility, Parent & Other EPS were $5.10 on an as-reported basis and $4.38 on an adjusted basis. In comparison, 2015 earnings were $4.97 per share on an as-reported basis and $3.08 per share on an adjusted basis. As-reported results for 2015 included significantly higher income tax items and more favorable weather. Results for 2016 also reflected the effects of continued investment as well as lower operating expenses and lower charges for outstanding regulatory matters.

Appendix C contains additional details on Utility financial and operational measures, including a schedule of Utility, Parent & Other adjusted earnings and EPS which excludes special items and weather and normalizes income taxes.

Entergy Wholesale Commodities Results

For fourth quarter 2016, EWC recorded a $(10.23) per share loss on an as-reported basis and an operational loss of (4) cents per share. For the comparable period in 2015, EWC recorded an as-reported loss of (86) cents per share and operational EPS of 16 cents.

The decrease in EWC’s as-reported results was due largely to impairments and other expenses recorded as a result of strategic decisions for the wholesale business, including decisions to close Palisades and IPEC. Fourth quarter 2015 results also included a gain on the sale of Rhode Island State Energy Center. All of these were considered special items and excluded from operational earnings.

The quarter-over-quarter decline was also due partly to income tax items recorded in 2015, lower price and volume for nuclear assets and higher decommissioning expense (due partly to the establishment of decommissioning liabilities for Indian Point 3 and FitzPatrick in 2016 as a result of a trust transfer agreement Entergy entered into with NYPA). In the current period, EWC results also reflected expense reductions which resulted from recording final court decisions in several lawsuits against the DOE related to spent nuclear fuel storage costs.






For the full year, EWC reported a loss of $(8.36) per share on an as-reported basis and operational EPS of $2.01. In 2015, EWC realized an as-reported loss of $(5.96) per share and operational EPS of $1.03. Both periods reflected the effects of strategic decisions for the EWC business. Other drivers included lower net revenue from the nuclear business, higher decommissioning expense and lower realized earnings on decommissioning trusts. Conversely, 2016 results included significant income tax benefits recorded in the second quarter.

Appendix D contains additional details on EWC financial and operational measures, including a schedule of EWC operational adjusted EBITDA calculations.

Earnings Guidance

Entergy initiated its 2017 operational guidance in the range of $4.75 to $5.35 per share and Utility, Parent & Other adjusted EPS guidance range of $4.25 to $4.55. See webcast presentation slides for additional details.

The company has provided 2017 earnings guidance with regard to the non-GAAP measures of operational EPS and Utility, Parent and Other Adjusted EPS. These measures exclude from the corresponding GAAP financial measures the effect of special items, such as impairment charges, gains or losses on asset sales, and other gains or losses occurring as a result of strategic decisions such as the company’s recent decisions to shut down or sell its merchant nuclear plants. The company has not provided a reconciliation of such non-GAAP guidance to guidance presented on a GAAP basis because it cannot reasonably estimate all of the special items that may occur for the periods presented. The company’s current estimate for special items in 2017 relates to the decisions to close or sell its merchant nuclear plants; those anticipated special items are expected to decrease as-reported EPS by approximately $2.35 per share. Other special items may occur during the periods presented, the impact of which cannot reasonably be estimated at this time.

The teleconference may be accessed by visiting Entergy’s website at www.entergy.com or by dialing 844-309-6569, conference ID 52887956, no more than 15 minutes prior to the start of the call.

The telephone replay will be available through Feb. 22, 2017, by dialing 855-859-2056, conference ID 52887956. This release and the webcast slide presentation are also available on the Entergy Investor Relations mobile web app at iretr.com.

For definitions of certain operational performance measures, as well as GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures and abbreviations and acronyms used in the earnings release materials, see Appendix F and Appendix G.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release contains 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 GAAP. Entergy has provided quantitative reconciliations within this release and the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Certain non-GAAP measures in this news release could differ from GAAP only in that the figure or ratio states or includes operational earnings. Operational earnings are not calculated in accordance with GAAP because they exclude the effect of “special items.” Special items are unusual or non-recurring items or events or other non-routine items or events that management believes do not reflect the ongoing business of Entergy, and may include items such as impairment charges, gains or losses on asset sales, and other gains or losses occurring as a result of strategic decisions such as Entergy’s recent decisions to shut down or sell its merchant nuclear plants. Operational earnings per share are presented for each of Entergy’s reportable business segments as well as on a consolidated basis. In addition, other financial measures including net income (or earnings), adjusted for preferred dividends and tax effected interest expense; non-fuel operation and maintenance expenses; average total revenue; return on average invested capital; and return on average common equity 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. Entergy also reports Utility, Parent & Other adjusted earnings and earnings per share, which exclude from GAAP earnings the special items described above and weather and normalizes tax expense for the periods presented. Management believes that financial metrics calculated using operational earnings or otherwise adjusted as described above could provide useful information to investors in evaluating the ongoing results of Entergy’s businesses and could assist investors in comparing Entergy’s operating performance to the operating performance of others in the Utility sector.

Other non-GAAP measures, including adjusted EBITDA; operational adjusted EBITDA; gross liquidity; debt to capital ratio, excluding securitization debt; net debt to net capital ratio, excluding securitization debt; parent debt to total debt ratio, excluding securitization debt; debt to operational adjusted EBITDA, excluding securitization debt; operational FFO to debt ratio, excluding securitization debt; 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 could provide useful information to investors in evaluating Entergy’s ongoing financial results and flexibility, and could assist investors in comparing Entergy’s credit and liquidity to the credit and liquidity of others in the Utility sector.

The non-GAAP financial measures and other reported adjusted items in this release are presented in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be used to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP





financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of Entergy’s operations that, when viewed with Entergy’s GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, could provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Entergy’s business. Investors are strongly encouraged to review Entergy’s 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 might not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.

The quarter-over-quarter OCF decrease reflected timing in the recovery of fuel and purchased power costs, net of increases in Utility net revenue, and higher pension funding. These items were partially offset by changes in working capital.






For the full year, OCF declined due to timing in the recovery of fuel and purchased power costs, net of increases in Utility net revenue, and lower EWC net revenues. These items were partially offset by receipt of DOE litigation awards, lower severance and retention payments and lower refueling outage payments at EWC.

For both the fourth quarter and full year, intercompany income tax payments contributed to the line of business variances.

Appendix A-3 and Appendix A-4 list special items by business. Amounts are shown on both a net income basis and an EPS basis. Special items are included in as-reported earnings consistent with GAAP, but are excluded from operational earnings. As a result, operational EPS is considered a non-GAAP measure.

(d)
EPS effect is calculated by multiplying the pre-tax amount by the estimated income tax rate that is expected to apply and then dividing by the fully diluted average shares outstanding for the period; income taxes - other represents income tax differences other than the tax effect of individual line items.
(e)
The current quarter and year-to-date increases were due partly to rate changes associated with the Union acquisition, EAI’s rate case and EMI’s FRP. In addition, regulatory charges recorded in fourth quarter 2015, which were for tax sharing agreements, reduced net revenue in that period. The effect of weather was positive quarter-over-quarter but negative in the year-to-date variance. The year-to-date increase also reflected higher industrial usage.
(f)
The current quarter and year-to-date as-reported results included cost reimbursements which are part of the FitzPatrick sale agreement (classified as special items and offset in non-fuel O&M). The current quarter and year-to-date periods also reflected lower energy price and volume for nuclear assets. The sale of the RISEC facility in December 2015 also reduced net revenue period-over-period. In the year-to-date period, nuclear fuel expense declined due largely to impairments recorded in 2015.
(g)
The current quarter and year-to-date increases were driven by regulatory charges recorded in fourth quarter 2015 arising from the Waterford 3 replacement steam generator prudence review proceeding and the System Agreement termination settlement agreement.
(h)
The as-reported current quarter and year-to-date decreases were due primarily to non-cash impairment charges and related write-offs for Palisades and Indian Point Units 2 and 3 recorded in fourth quarter 2016. EWC also recorded





impairment charges and related write-offs in 2015 for Pilgrim, FitzPatrick and Palisades. Both periods also included write-offs of ongoing capital investment for plants that continue to operate.
(i)
The current quarter and year-to-date as-reported increases were due largely to the fourth quarter 2015 asset impairment on EWC’s ownership interest in the Top Deer wind generation investment, which was accounted for under the equity method of accounting (classified as a special item). The year-to-date operational decrease was due primarily to higher realized gains in 2015 on decommissioning trusts, including the rebalancing of VY's decommissioning trust portfolio.
(j)
The as-reported decreases in the current quarter and year-to-date periods were attributable to the fourth quarter 2015 gain on sale of the RISEC facility (classified as a special item).
(k)
The current quarter and year-to-date decreases were due primarily to additions to plant, including Union, which was acquired in March 2016. In the year-to-date period, the decrease was partially offset by a reduction in depreciation expense which resulted from litigation awards from the DOE in connection with spent nuclear fuel storage costs in third quarter 2016.
(l)
The current quarter decrease reflected higher nuclear generation spending (higher overall scope of work and higher labor costs) and increased fossil spending primarily related to the Union plant (offset in net revenue). Lower pension and OPEB expenses, stemming partly from a higher discount rate, partly offset the decreases. The year-to-date increase reflected lower pension and OPEB expenses and lower spending on fossil outages. Non-fuel O&M expense was also reduced as a result of litigation awards from the DOE in connection with spent nuclear fuel storage costs, a deferral recorded at EAI in first quarter 2016 and lower energy efficiency costs. The expense decreases were partially offset by Union expenses (acquired in 2016) (offset in net revenue) and higher nuclear generation spending.
(m)
The current quarter and year-to-date as-reported results included higher expenses resulting from the decisions to close or sell merchant nuclear plants (these expenses were considered special items and excluded from operational results). Fourth quarter 2016 also included FitzPatrick plant costs that are being reimbursed and offset in net revenue (also considered a special item). The current quarter and year-to-date variances also reflected the sale of the RISEC facility in December 2015, a reduction in expense for DOE litigation awards in connection with spent nuclear fuel storage costs and lower benefit expenses. These were partially offset by higher site expenses and an increase in costs related to Pilgrim’s response to a planned NRC enhanced inspection. The year-to-date increase also reflected a reduction in expense for litigation proceeds received from the DOE in second quarter 2016 (approximately 12 cents EPS received for VY and FitzPatrick was considered a special item) and lower refueling outage expense, largely as a result of 2015 impairments.
(n)
The current quarter and year-to-date decreases were due to the establishment of decommissioning liabilities for Indian Point 3 and FitzPatrick in 2016 and revisions to decommissioning cost studies at other EWC nuclear facilities in 2015.
(o)
The current quarter and year-to-date decreases were due primarily to an income tax item in fourth quarter 2015 of approximately $334 million resulting from the ELL business combination (this was partly offset by customer sharing recorded as a regulatory charge, included in net revenue). A 2015 audit settlement in Mississippi of $15 million also contributed to the decreases. The year-to-date decrease also reflected a first quarter 2015 adjustment of $24 million involving the reversal of a portion of the provision for uncertain tax provisions related to interest accrual. These items were partly offset by the second quarter 2016 reversal of a portion of the provision for uncertain tax positions totaling $136 million for two previous positions that were resolved in the 2010-2011 tax audit (this was partly offset by customer sharing recorded as a regulatory charge, included in net revenue).
(p)
The current quarter decrease was due largely to state tax effects from the 2015 settlement on the 2008/2009 audit. The year-to-date increase also reflected the second quarter 2016 tax election which reduced income tax expense by $238 million.
(q)
The year-to-date increase was due largely to lower sales and use tax and the effect of the 2015 New York state audit settlement.
(r)
The year-to-date increase was due primarily to higher AFUDC-equity funds, resulting from higher average CWIP balances.
(s)
The year-to-date increase resulted from 2015 impairments, recording the effects of DOE litigation proceeds related to spent nuclear fuel storage costs and the sale of RISEC.
(t)
The year-to-date decrease resulted primarily from higher interest expense on long-term debt resulting from additional debt issuances.

E: Consolidated Financial Performance Measures
Appendix E provides comparative financial performance measures for the current quarter. Financial performance measures in this table include those calculated and presented in accordance with 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 net income, including special items. Operational measures are non-GAAP measures as they are calculated using operational net income, which excludes the impact of special items.

F: Definitions, Abbreviations and Acronyms
Appendix F-1 provides definitions of certain operational performance measures, as well as GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP measures remove the effects of financial events that are not routine from commonly used financial measures.

Appendix F-1: Definitions
Utility Operational Performance Measures
GWh billed
Total number of GWh billed to retail and wholesale customers
Net revenue
Operating revenue less fuel, fuel related expenses and gas purchased for resale, purchased power and other regulatory charges (credits) - net
Non-fuel O&M
Operation and maintenance expenses excluding fuel, fuel-related expenses and gas purchased for resale and purchased power
Non-fuel O&M per MWh
Non-fuel O&M per MWh of billed sales
Number of retail customers
Number of customers at end of period
 
 
EWC Operational Performance Measures
As-reported average total revenue per MWh
As-reported revenue per MWh billed (does not include revenue from investment in wind generation that was accounted for under the equity method of accounting, which was sold in November 2016
Adjusted average total revenue per MWh
As-reported average total revenue per MWh, excluding revenue from special items included in operating revenue and the amortization of the Palisades below-market PPA and VY capacity revenue
Average revenue under contract per kW-month (applies to capacity contracts only)
Revenue on a per unit basis at which capacity is expected to be sold to third parties, given existing contract prices and/or auction awards
Average revenue per MWh on contracted volumes
Revenue on a per unit basis at which generation output reflected in contracts is expected to be sold to third parties (including offsetting positions) at the minimum contract prices and at forward market prices at a point in time, given existing contract or option exercise prices based on expected dispatch or capacity, excluding the revenue associated with the amortization of the below-market PPA for Palisades; revenue will fluctuate due to factors including market price changes affecting revenue received on puts, collars and call options, positive or negative basis differentials, option premiums and market prices at the time of option expiration, costs to convert firm LD to unit-contingent and other risk management costs
Bundled capacity and energy contracts
A contract for the sale of installed capacity and related energy, priced per MWh sold
Capacity contracts
A contract for the sale of the installed capacity product in regional markets managed by ISO New England, NYISO and MISO
Capacity factor
Normalized percentage of the period that the nuclear plants generate power
Expected sold and market total revenue per MWh
Total energy and capacity revenue on a per unit basis at which total planned generation output and capacity is expected to be sold given contract terms and market prices at a point in time, including estimates for market price changes affecting revenue received on puts, collars and call options, positive or negative basis differentials, option premiums and market prices at time of option expiration, costs to convert Firm LD to unit-contingent and other risk management costs, divided by total planned MWh of generation, excluding the revenue associated with the amortization of the Palisades below-market PPA
Firm LD
Transaction that requires receipt or delivery of energy at a specified delivery point (usually at a market hub not associated with a specific asset) or settles financially on notional quantities; if a party fails to deliver or receive energy, defaulting party must compensate the other party as specified in the contract, a portion of which may be capped through the use of risk management products






Appendix F-1: Definitions
EWC Operational Performance Measures (continued)
GWh billed
Total number of GWh billed to customers and financially-settled instruments (does not include amounts from investment in wind generation that was accounted for under the equity method of accounting and which was sold in November 2016
Net revenue
Operating revenue less fuel, fuel-related expenses and purchased power

Operation and maintenance expenses excluding fuel, fuel-related expenses and gas purchased for resale, purchased power (does not include amounts from investment in wind generation that was accounted for under the equity method of accounting and which was sold in November 2016
Non-fuel O&M per MWh
Non-fuel O&M per MWh billed
Offsetting positions
Transactions for the purchase of energy, generally to offset a Firm LD transaction
Owned capacity (MW)
Installed capacity owned and operated by EWC; RISEC (non-nuclear) was sold in December 2015 and investment in wind generation was sold in November 2016
Percent of capacity sold forward
Percent of planned qualified capacity sold to mitigate price uncertainty under physical or financial transactions
Percent of planned generation under contract
Percent of planned generation output sold or purchased forward under contracts, forward physical contracts, forward financial contracts or options that mitigate price uncertainty that may or may not require regulatory approval or approval of transmission rights or other conditions precedent; positions that are no longer classified as hedges are netted in the planned generation under contract
Planned net MW in operation
Amount of installed capacity to generate power and/or sell capacity, assuming intent to sell FitzPatrick in first half of 2017 and shutdown Pilgrim (May 31, 2019), Palisades (Oct. 1, 2018), Indian Point 2 (April 30, 2020) and Indian Point 3 (April 30, 2021)
Planned TWh of generation
Amount of output expected to be generated by EWC resources considering plant operating characteristics and outage schedules, assuming intent to sell FitzPatrick in first half of 2017; to shutdown Pilgrim (May 31, 2019), Palisades (Oct. 1, 2018), Indian Point 2 (April 30, 2020) and Indian Point 3 (April 30, 2021); uninterrupted normal plant operation
Production cost per MWh
Fuel and non-fuel O&M expenses according to accounting standards that directly relate to the production of electricity per MWh (based on net generation), excluding special items
Refueling outage days
Number of days lost for scheduled refueling outage during the period
