Consolidated Earnings
Table 2 provides a comparative summary of consolidated earnings per share for fourth quarter and year-to-date 2006 versus 2005, including a reconciliation of GAAP as-reported earnings to non-GAAP operational earnings. Utility, Parent & Other recorded higher earnings in the current quarter due primarily to higher revenues from sales growth and constructive rate actions, income associated with a regulatory settlement, and lower income taxes. Entergy Nuclear's earnings decreased as a result of higher income taxes and higher operation and maintenance expense. Also, Entergy's Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business had results in the current period comparable to results in fourth quarter 2005.

II. Utility, Parent & Other Results
In fourth quarter 2006, Utility, Parent & Other had earnings of $1.08 per share on an as-reported basis and $0.47 per share on an operational basis compared to no as-reported earnings and $0.16 of operational earnings in fourth quarter 2005. As-reported 2006 earnings reflect special items totaling $0.61 per share as follows:
Earnings for Utility, Parent & Other in fourth quarter 2006, excluding ENOI, primarily reflect higher revenue from sales growth and constructive rate actions, income associated with recording a regulatory asset to reflect a regulatory order issued during the period, and lower income taxes. Partially offsetting these factors were higher operation and maintenance expense due primarily to higher benefits expense, higher interest expense due to debt incurred to pay for storm restoration costs for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and the absence of colder-than-normal weather that contributed positively to earnings in fourth quarter 2005.
Electricity usage excluding ENOI, in gigawatt-hour sales by customer segment, is included in Table 4. Current quarter sales reflect the following:
The absence of any increase in the residential segment reflects the lagging return of citizens to storm-affected regions. The quarter over quarter increase in the commercial and industrial sectors reflect rebound from the effect of storms in fourth quarter 2005. The industrial sector has seen some level of recovery in all segments with the exception of pipelines which continue to experience the effects of periodic interruptions in their operations and mild winter weather.
ENOI results for fourth quarter 2006 reflect a loss of ($0.09) per share. In fourth quarter 2005, ENOI also reported a loss in the amount of ($0.08) per share. ENOI's 2006 loss is being treated as a special item as described above, while its 2005 loss was included in operational earnings. Additional information on ENOI, its bankruptcy, and the applicable accounting treatment are explained in Appendix A of this release.
In fourth quarter 2005 ENOI experienced significant reductions in operating revenues due to customer losses as a result of Hurricane Katrina. Fourth quarter 2006 results reflect the ongoing effects of the hurricane as well as certain actions taken by ENOI to stabilize the company's financial condition. Results for the current period include higher operation and maintenance expense due to bankruptcy reorganization expenses, including previously waived interest on first mortgage bonds that was accrued and recorded in operation and maintenance expense. Interest had not been accrued since the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing date in September 2005 for a period of one year as part of a December 2005 agreement between bondholders and ENOI. ENOI's Plan of Reorganization provides for a payment equal to the amount of that full year's interest at the time of exit from bankruptcy. ENOI's Plan also provides for interest to unsecured creditors from the bankruptcy filing date, which ENOI accrued in four th quarter 2006. Also, pursuant to an agreement with the bondholders approved by the bankruptcy court, ENOI is paying current interest on the bonds which is reflected in interest expense in fourth quarter 2006.
For the year 2006, Utility, Parent & Other earned $3.97 per share on an as-reported earnings basis, compared to $2.82 per share in 2005. Operational earnings in 2006 were $3.20 per share compared to $3.03 per share in 2005. The higher operational earnings in 2006 were due primarily to higher revenues from sales growth and constructive rate actions and lower income taxes.
Table 4 provides a comparative summary of the Utility's operational performance measures.

Entergy Nuclear
Entergy Nuclear earned $0.27 per share on both as-reported and operational bases in fourth quarter 2006, compared to $0.37 in fourth quarter 2005. The lower results in fourth quarter 2006 came from higher income taxes, and higher operation and maintenance expense due to higher benefits expense. Partially offsetting these effects was higher pricing.
For the year 2006, Entergy Nuclear earned $1.46 per share on both as-reported and operational bases, compared with $1.32 per share for 2005. The increase in 2006 earnings was due primarily to increased revenue from higher contract pricing and higher generation due to fewer outage days and uprates.
Table 6 provides a comparative summary of Entergy Nuclear's operational performance measures.

Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets
Entergy's Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business recorded a loss of $(0.08) per share on an as-reported basis and earnings of $0.05 on an operational basis in fourth quarter 2006. Earnings on both as-reported and operational bases in fourth quarter 2005 were $0.06 per share. Operational results for the current quarter primarily reflect lower income taxes while earnings in fourth quarter 2005 included sales of SO
2 allowances. There were no sales of SO2 allowances in the current period.For the year 2006, Entergy's Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business lost ($0.07) per share on an as-reported basis compared to earnings of $0.05 per share in 2005. Operational earnings in 2006 were $0.06 per share compared to earnings of $0.05 per share in 2005.
IV. Earnings Guidance
Entergy is reaffirming as-reported and operational earnings guidance for 2007 in the range of $5.40 to $5.70 per share. Earnings guidance for 2007 excludes ENOI given the uncertainty that remains for this business as it works through its Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceeding. During 2007, actual results for ENOI will be separately identified as a special item for earnings release purposes until such time as ENOI emerges from bankruptcy. Year-over-year changes are shown as point estimates and are applied to 2006 actual results to compute the 2007 guidance midpoint. Because there is a range of possible outcomes associated with each earnings driver, a range is applied to the calculated guidance midpoints to produce Entergy's guidance ranges for as-reported and operational earnings excluding Entergy New Orleans. Earnings guidance for 2007 is detailed in Table 7 below. The 2007 guidance table has been updated in January 2007 to reflect actual 2006 financial results, including weather. P>
Key assumptions, established in October 2006, supporting 2007 earnings guidance are as follows:
Utility, Parent & Other
Entergy Nuclear
Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets
Special Items
Share Repurchase Program
The above assumptions assume no regulatory disallowances are ordered by retail regulators for the estimated $1.5 billion storm restoration costs ($0.8 billion capital, $0.7 billion regulatory assets). Any such disallowances would be shown as special items assuming such disallowances are not appealed to the courts or in the case of appeals, are later disallowed by the courts.

Earnings guidance for 2007 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 driver of results in 2007 for Utility, Parent & Other due to normal growth in customer usage. At Entergy Nuclear, energy prices are expected to be the most significant driver of results in 2007. Estimated annual impacts shown in the Table 8 are intended to be indicative rather than precise guidance.

V. Forward-looking Financial Data and Aspirations
Entergy continues to aspire to deliver superior value to its owners as measured by total shareholder return. Entergy believes top-quartile total shareholder returns are achieved by growing earnings, improving returns on invested capital, maintaining investment grade credit quality and deploying capital in a disciplined manner, whether for new investments, share repurchases, dividends or debt retirement.
Table 9 provides details on Entergy's projected cash available for capital redeployment for the period 2007 through 2009 excluding Entergy New Orleans. The $1.5 billion share repurchase program announced today, along with its associated effect on debt capacity, is reflected in this table. The amount of repurchases may vary as a result of material changes in business results or capital spending or new investment opportunities. Assuming the entire repurchase program is executed, Entergy expects to have $1.0 billion of cash available over this period for several potential uses: investments in new businesses or assets, repayment of debt or equity, or dividend increases. Cash flow from operations includes storm cost recovery anticipated from a combination of insurance, rate relief, and securitization; these amounts are applied consistent with regulatory filings and other agreements reached with governmental agencies under which benefits inure to ratepayer s. Sources of cash also include debt that Entergy believes it could issue in association with new investments while maintaining credit quality consistent with BBB credit rating. The amount of additional debt could vary depending upon the type of new investment and the credit market environment.

VI. Appendices
Eight appendices are presented in this section as follows:
Appendix A provides information on the status of the bankruptcy process at Entergy New Orleans, Inc.
Appendix A: Entergy New Orleans, Inc. Bankruptcy |
Bankruptcy Filing
To ensure continued progress in restoring power and gas service to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, on September 23, 2005, Entergy New Orleans, Inc. (ENOI) filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
ENOI filed its initial Plan of Reorganization (POR) with the bankruptcy court on October 23, 2006 and filed its Fourth Amended Plan (Plan) on January 24, 2007. A competing plan has been filed by the unsecured creditors and on January 25, 2007 the bankruptcy court ruled that both ENOI's Plan and the unsecured creditors' plan could be distributed to all parties in the bankruptcy proceeding for review and consideration for approval.
ENOI believes its Plan is workable, fair and in the public interest. The Plan provides full compensation for all of ENOI's creditors and allows ENOI to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy assuming the plan is supported by creditors and the various conditions included in the plan, as detailed below, are met. For more information on documents filed in this proceeding including the original POR and all amendments, go to www.entergy.com/investor_relations/enoi.aspx.
Conditions precedent that must be satisfied for ENOI's Plan to become effective include:
Community Development Block Grant Funding
ENOI applied to the Louisiana Recovery Authority (LRA) for funding from CDBG resources made available to Louisiana. All required state approvals for funding of $200 million have been received with the only remaining approval pending from HUD. Assuming HUD approval, ENOI currently anticipates that it should receive CDBG funding during the first half 2007.
ENOI Rate Plan
On October 27, 2006, the City Council of New Orleans approved a settlement agreement with ENOI that calls for a phased-in rate increase and the creation of a $75M storm reserve that positions ENOI to pay for future hurricane damage. Additional information is included in the Regulatory Summary Table in Appendix C.
Accounting
Entergy owns 100 percent of the common stock of ENOI and has, subject to the rules and requirements of Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, continued to supply operating management to ENOI. However, uncertainties surrounding the nature, timing and specifics of the bankruptcy proceedings caused Entergy to de-consolidate ENOI for financial reporting purposes beginning in third quarter 2005 with ENOI's financial results being recorded under the equity method of accounting. Under this methodology, earnings from ENOI are now reflected in Entergy's income statement as equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. Because Entergy owns all of the common stock of ENOI, this change has not affected the amount of net income Entergy has recorded in the current period or any historical period but has resulted in ENOI's net income being presented in one line item rather than included in each individual income statement line item presented. Various line items of Entergy's conso lidated balance sheet and cash flow statement have been revised to reflect the effects of de-consolidating ENOI. In addition, the deconsolidation of ENOI's results is retroactive to January 1, 2005 and Entergy's comparative results now reflect ENOI results under the equity method of accounting.
Appendices B-1 and B-2 provide details of fourth quarter and year-to-date 2006 vs. 2005 earnings variance analyses for "Utility, Parent & Other," "Competitive Businesses," and "Consolidated."

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.

Recent activity: Discovery and deliberations continue on the EAI Rate case and Energy Cost Recovery (ECR) proceeding.Background: EAI's base rates and the ECR have been in effect since 1998. EAI filed a rate case on August 15, 2006 requesting $150 million increase based on a June 30, 2006 test year using an 11.25% ROE. A hearing is scheduled for April 17, 2007, with an effective date for new rates of June 2007. Testimony was also filed by APSC staff, intervenors and EAI in the ECR proceeding recommending retention of the ECR rider. In December 2005, EAI provided notice of its intent to terminate participation in the Entergy System Agreement, following a final order from FERC establishing terms under which EAI may be required to make payments to other operating companies to achieve rough production cost equalization. |

Recent activity: In December 2006, EGSI-TX filed a Transition to Competition plan with the PUCT, proposing EGSI-TX join ERCOT as it represents the most viable path to full customer choice. The filing outlines important conditions that must be met to proceed. Under the critical assumption that these conditions can be met, retail open access could commence in 2013.Background: EGSI-TX has operated under a base rate freeze since 1999. Legislation subsequently enacted in June 2005 extended the base rate freeze to mid 2008 but also allowed EGSI-TX to file for rate relief through riders for incremental capacity costs and transition costs. In December 2005, the PUCT approved the recovery of $18 million annual capacity costs, subject to reconciliation from September 2005. In June 2006, the PUCT approved a settlement in the Transition to Competition Cost recovery case, allowing EGSI-TX to recover $14.5 million per year in TTC costs over a 15-year period. Storm Cost Recovery: In December 2006, the PUCT approved a settlement, authorizing EGSI-TX to seek securitization for $353 million of storm restoration costs, net of $65 million of anticipated insurance proceeds. Subsequently, EGSI-TX filed an application to obtain a financing order authorizing issuance of securitized debt. Pursuant to the storm legislation, a decision must be rendered by March 8, 2007. |

Entergy Gulf States - LA |
9.90% - 11.40% |
Recent activity: Deliberations continue on EGSI-LA's 2005 test year formula rate plan (FRP) filing.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. In May 2006, EGSI-LA made its FRP filing for the 2005 test year, indicating an 11% ROE, which is within the allowed bandwidth. Pursuant to the Approved Capacity Additions section of the FRP rider, the filing requested an annual revenue increase of $7 million to recover Commission-approved deferred and ongoing capacity costs. On August 29, 2006, EGSI-LA implemented, subject to refund, an amended $17 million annual FRP increase consisting of $7 million in deferred and ongoing capacity costs and $10 million for interim storm cost recovery. Storm Cost Recovery: In January 2007, LPSC staff and intervenors filed testimony in the Phase II storm filing case. LPSC staff recommends adopting a securitization approach and proposes adjustments totaling $5 million. EGSI-LA will continue to work with the staff to determine an appropriate level of carrying costs and storm reserves. EGSI-LA made its Phase II storm filing in July, seeking recovery of $200 million in storm related costs incurred through May 31, 2006 and to build a storm reserve in the amount of $81 million. Hearings are set to begin at the end of April, with a decision expected at the end of 2nd Quarter 2007. EGSI-LA intends to pursue securitization enabled by legislation signed into law by the Governor in May 2006. 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, interim recovery shifted into t he FRP at the rate of $0.85 million per month. Interim recovery will continue until a final decision is granted on EGSI-LA's Phase II filing. Jurisdictional Separation Plan: In January 2007, the LPSC unanimously approved the Jurisdictional Separation Plan for EGSI. The target date for completing the separation, which depends on a number of factors, is estimated to be the end of 2007. |

Entergy Louisiana |
9.45% - 11.05% |
Recent activity: Deliberations continue on ELL's 2005 test year FRP filing.Background: In May 2005, the LPSC approved a settlement reestablishing the Company's FRP with a 10.25% ROE midpoint and a +/- 80 basis point bandwidth and a recovery mechanism for Commission-approved capacity additions. Earnings outside the bandwidth are allocated 60% to customers and 40% to the company. In May 2006, ELL made its FRP filing for the 2005 test year Indicating a 9.45% ROE which is within the allowed bandwidth. Pursuant to the Approved Capacity Additions section of the FRP rider, the filing requested an annual revenue increase of $121 million to recover Commission-approved deferred and ongoing capacity costs comprised of previously deferred and ongoing amounts of $51 million and $70 million, respectively. On September 28, 2006, ELL implemented, subject to refund, an amended $143 million annual FRP increase 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. Storm Cost Recovery: In January 2007, LPSC staff and intervenors filed testimony in the Phase II storm filing case. LPSC staff recommends adopting a securitization approach and proposes adjustments totaling $10 million. ELL will continue to work with the staff to determine an appropriate level of carrying costs and storm reserves. ELL made its Phase II storm filing in July, seeking recovery of $467 million in storm related costs incurred through May 31, 2006 and to build a storm reserve in the amount of $132 million. Hearings are set to begin at the end of April, with a decision expected at the end of 2nd Quarter 2007. ELL intends to pursue securitization enabled by legislation signed into law by the Governor in May 2006. 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, interim recovery shifted into the FRP at the rate of $2 million per month. Interim recovery will continue until a final decision is granted on ELL's Phase II filing. |

9.74% - 12.44% |
Recent activity: In December 2006, the MPSC approved EMI's request to increase several fees (connect, reconnect, late payment and returned check) effective January 1, 2007.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 current mid-point of the ROE bandwidth, including performance incentives, is 11.09%. 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. Storm Cost Recovery: EMI expects to receive $48 million in 1st quarter 2007, funded by state financing, reflecting recovery of remaining $8 million storm restoration costs and $40 million to increase EMI's storm reserve. 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 $4.75 million Phase I gas base rate increase in November 2006.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 calls for a phased-in rate increase to ensure the company's ability to focus on restoration of the gas and electric systems, create a $75M storm reserve via a storm reserve rider beginning in March 2007 that positions ENOI to pay for future hurricane damage, and established an independent process and procedural schedule for certification of storm costs. 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 ENO to seek rein statement 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 anticipated receipt of $200 million CDBG funding allocated by the Louisiana Recovery Authority in October 2006 is to be applied to storm costs; any storm costs in excess of the $200 million and insurance receipts will be addressed in ENOI's July 2008 rate filing. Storm reserve rider builds a $75 million reserve for future storm costs over a 10 year period. |

Recent activity: On November 17, 2006, FERC approved Entergy's Compliance filing with modifications. On December 18, 2006, Entergy submitted a Compliance filing incorporating FERC's required changes. On this same date, the LPSC filed a request for rehearing of FERC's November order approving the filing and filed a Complaint asking FERC to institute a proceeding to determine whether, and on what terms, EAI may withdraw from the system agreement.Background: The system agreement case addresses reallocation of production costs among the utility operating subsidiaries. In June 2005, the FERC issued their 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. Appeals of this 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. Var ious comments or protests to the Compliance filing were filed by various parties including a request for summary judgment by the LPSC. |

On November 17, 2006, the ICT installed and began performing all of its ICT functions, including tariff administration, AFC calculation, transmission planning, and operation of the Entergy OASIS. Implementation of the weekly procurement process is anticipated to begin by May 2007.Background: Based on a positive Declaratory Order issued by the FERC in March 2005, Entergy filed for approval of its ICT in May 2005. On April 24, 2006 the FERC approved Entergy's ICT proposal with modification. On May 24, 2006, Entergy filed (1) a Compliance filing to implement provisions of FERC's April 2006 Order, (2) the ICT contract, signed with SPP earlier in May, and (3) a request that SPP be installed as the ICT. The LPSC approved the ICT proposal on July 12, 2006. On October 18, 2006, FERC approved Entergy's Compliance filing, with modifications and directed that SPP be installed as the ICT by November 17, 2006. |
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 earnings per share to as-reported earnings per share is provided in Appendix H-1.

Appendix E: Planned Capital Expenditures
Appendix E provides a summary of planned capital expenditures. Entergy's capital plan from 2007 through 2009 anticipates $5.3 billion for investment; roughly $2.6 billion of this amount is associated with capital to maintain Entergy's existing assets. The remaining $2.7 billion is associated with specific investments such as the Palisades acquisition, transmission upgrades, dry cask storage and license renewal projects at certain nuclear sites, environmental compliance spending, NYPA value sharing costs and other investments, such as potential opportunities to purchase or construct plants through Entergy's supply plan initiative designed to meet Utility load growth. Excluded from the below expenditures are costs associated with the potential inter-connection between Entergy Gulf States-TX and ERCOT, the current estimate of such costs being approximately $1 billion.

Earnings Highlights for Fourth Quarter 2006
"We faced many challenges in 2006 and made great strides including another record year in terms of safety. Our proudest day, now clearly in sight, will be when our dedicated employees achieve no lost time accidents," said J. Wayne Leonard, Entergy's chairman and chief executive officer. "In 2007 we face a full agenda, and efforts will continue to be focused on superior service for our customers, strong earnings growth for shareholders, and long-term sustainable growth for all our stakeholders."
Other Highlights
Utility, Parent & Other
In fourth quarter 2006, Utility, Parent & Other recorded as-reported earnings of $226.6 million, or $1.08 per share, compared to a loss of $0.2 million, or zero cents per share, in fourth quarter 2005. On an operational basis, earnings were $97.5 million, or 47 cents per share, in fourth quarter 2006, compared to $33.4 million, or 16 cents per share, in fourth quarter 2005. As-reported 2006 earnings reflect special items totaling 61 cents per share including: 1) nine cents per share loss at Entergy New Orleans, Inc. in fourth quarter 2006; 2) 26 cents per share gain on the sale of Entergy-Koch Trading based on receipt of final cash distributions; 3) 49 cents per share of tax benefits associated with liquidation of the holding company that owned Entergy's investment in Entergy-Koch, LP and, 4) five cents per share loss from the discontinued competitive retail business in Texas.
Earnings for Utility, Parent & Other in fourth quarter 2006, excluding Entergy New Orleans, primarily reflect higher revenue from sales growth and constructive rate actions, income associated with recording a regulatory asset to reflect a regulatory order issued during the period, and lower income taxes. Partially offsetting these factors were higher operation and maintenance expense due primarily to higher benefits expense, higher interest expense due to debt incurred to pay for storm restoration costs for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and the absence of colder-than-normal weather that contributed positively to earnings in fourth quarter 2005.
Excluding Entergy New Orleans, megawatt-hour sales in the residential sector in fourth quarter 2006, on a weather-adjusted basis, were comparable to fourth quarter 2005. Commercial and governmental sales, after adjusting for weather, were up five percent, compared to the prior quarter. Industrial sales experienced an increase of nine percent in fourth quarter 2006, compared to the same period a year ago.
The absence of any increase in the residential segment reflects the lagging return of citizens to storm-affected regions. The quarter over quarter increase in the commercial and industrial sectors reflects rebound from the effect of storms in fourth quarter 2005. The industrial sector has seen some level of recovery in all segments with the exception of pipeline, which continues to experience the effects of periodic interruptions in their operations and mild winter weather.
Entergy New Orleans' results for fourth quarter 2006 are being treated as a special item. As such, its results are included in Utility, Parent & Other as-reported earnings, but are excluded from operational earnings. For fourth quarter 2005, Utility, Parent & Other results include Entergy New Orleans on both as-reported and operational bases. Also, Entergy New Orleans is de-consolidated for both fourth quarter 2006 and fourth quarter 2005 reporting purposes due to uncertainties surrounding the nature, timing, and specifics of the Entergy New Orleans bankruptcy proceedings. Accordingly, revenue and expense explanations provided above exclude the revenues and expenses of Entergy New Orleans.
To ensure continued progress in restoring power and gas service to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, on September 23, 2005, Entergy New Orleans filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Entergy New Orleans filed its initial plan of reorganization with the bankruptcy court on October 23, 2006 and filed its fourth amended plan on January 24, 2007. A competing plan has been filed by the unsecured creditors and on January 25, 2007 the bankruptcy court ruled that both Entergy New Orleans' plan and the unsecured creditor's plan could be distributed to all parties in the bankruptcy proceeding for review and consideration for approval. Entergy believes its plan is workable, fair, and in the public interest. For more information on documents filed in this proceeding, including the original plan of reorganization and all amendments, go to www.entergy.com/investor_relations/enoi.aspx.
Entergy New Orleans' results for fourth quarter 2006 reflect a loss of $19.6 million, or nine cents per share. In fourth quarter 2005, Entergy New Orleans also reported a loss in the amount of $19.3 million, or eight cents per share. In fourth quarter 2005 Entergy New Orleans experienced significant reductions in operating revenues due to customer losses as a result of Hurricane Katrina. Fourth quarter 2006 results reflect the ongoing effects of the hurricane as well as certain actions taken by Entergy New Orleans to stabilize the company's financial condition. Results for the current period include higher operation and maintenance expense due to bankruptcy reorganization expenses, including previously waived interest on first mortgage bonds that was accrued and recorded in operation and maintenance expense. Interest had not been accrued since the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing date in September 2005 for a period of one year as part of a December 2005 agreement between Entergy New Orleans and bondholders. Entergy New Orleans' plan of reorganization provides for a payment equal to the amount of that full year's interest at the time of exit from bankruptcy. Entergy New Orleans' plan of reorganization also provides for interest to unsecured creditors from the bankruptcy filing date, which Entergy New Orleans accrued in fourth quarter 2006. Also, pursuant to an agreement with the bondholders approved by the bankruptcy court, Entergy New Orleans is paying current interest on the bonds which is reflected in interest expense in fourth quarter 2006.
For the year 2006, Utility, Parent and Other earned $838.8 million, or $3.97 per share, on an as-reported basis, compared with $604.2 million, or $2.82 per share, for 2005. Operational earnings in 2006 were $676.2 million, or $3.20 per share, compared to $648.9 million, or $3.03 per share, in 2005. The higher operational earnings in 2006 were due primarily to higher revenues from sales growth and constructive rate actions and lower income taxes.
Entergy Nuclear
Entergy Nuclear earned $57.7 million, or 27 cents per share, on both as-reported and operational bases in fourth quarter 2006. This compares to as-reported and operational earnings of $77.1 million, or 37 cents per share, in fourth quarter 2005. The lower results in fourth quarter 2006 came from higher income taxes and higher operation and maintenance expense due to higher benefits expense. Partially offsetting these effects was higher pricing.
For the year 2006, Entergy Nuclear earned $309.5 million, or $1.46 per share, on both as-reported and operational bases, compared with $282.6 million, or $1.32 per share, for 2005. The increase in 2006 earnings was due primarily to increased revenue from higher contract pricing and higher generation due to fewer outage days and uprates.
Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets
Entergy's non-nuclear wholesale assets business recorded a loss of $16.0 million, or eight cents per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $11.7 million, or five cents per share, on an operational basis, in fourth quarter 2006. Earnings on both as-reported and operational bases in fourth quarter 2005 were $13.3 million, or six cents per share. Operational results for the current quarter primarily reflect lower income taxes while earnings in fourth quarter 2005 included sales of SO2 allowances. There were no sales of SO2 allowances in the current period.
For the year 2006, Entergy's non-nuclear wholesale assets business lost $15.7 million, or seven cents per share, on an as-reported basis compared to earnings of $11.6 million, or five cents per share, for 2005. Operational earnings for 2006 were $12.0 million, or six cents per share, compared to $11.6 million, or five cents per share, for 2005.
Outlook
Entergy is reaffirming 2007 earnings guidance in the range of $5.40 to $5.70 per share on both as-reported and operational bases. Earnings guidance for 2007 excludes Entergy New Orleans given the uncertainty that remains for this business as it works through its Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceeding. During 2007, actual results for Entergy New Orleans will be separately identified as a special item for earnings release purposes until such time as Entergy New Orleans emerges from bankruptcy.

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.
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 "Earnings 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 Earnings Releases and the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Certain non-GAAP measures in the Earnings Releases differ from GAAP only in that the figure or ratio states or includes operational earnings per share. Operational earnings per share is presented for each of Entergy's major business segments as well as on a consolidated basis. Operational earnings per share is not calculated in accordance with GAAP because it excludes the 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 ong oing 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, net debt ratio including off-balance sheet liabilities, and net cash available for new investment, debt or equity repayment, dividend increase, are measures Entergy uses internally for management and board discussions, and cash budgeting and performance monitoring activities to gauge the overall strength of its business. 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.
The non-GAAP financial measures and other reported adjusted items in Entergy's Earnings 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.
