ENTERGY REPORTS SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

Improved EWC fleet performance and industrial sales growth at Utility highlight quarter

NEW ORLEANS – Entergy Corporation (NYSE: ETR) today reported earnings per share of $1.05 on an as-reported basis and $1.11 on an operational basis for second quarter 2014. Operational earnings per share were 10 percent higher than the same quarter a year ago. See Table 1. More detail on quarterly results can be found beginning on page 2.

“Our focus on operational excellence allowed us to continue to deliver on our commitments in the second quarter. At the Utility, we saw strong quarter-over-quarter industrial sales growth of 5.3 percent, and at Entergy Wholesale Commodities, solid performance was driven largely by improved fleet operations and no refueling outages, which allowed us to provide extended periods of uninterrupted power to the market,” said Entergy Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Leo Denault. “These results are further evidence of the progress we’ve made on many fronts over the past 18 months. The state of Entergy’s business is strong.”

Operational Earnings Highlights for Second Quarter 2014

·   EWC earnings increased, driven by higher net revenue and partially offset by higher income tax and depreciation expenses.

·   Utility results were essentially flat. Higher net revenue and lower non-fuel O&M expense were offset by higher depreciation expense and a higher effective income tax rate.

·   Parent & Other results matched the prior period.

Other business highlights for the quarter included the following:

·   River Bend was rated in the “excellence” category as compared to peers.

·   Since June, the Utility has signed economic development projects totaling approximately 100 megawatts.

·   J.D. Power’s 2014 satisfaction study of electric utility residential customers results show that all Entergy utility operating companies improved their performance by several points over last year.

·   Corporate Responsibility Magazine named Entergy one of America’s 100 Best Corporate Citizens.

Detailed earnings variance analyses are included in Appendix A-1 and Appendix A-2 to this release. In addition, Appendix A-3 provides details of special items shown in Table 2 above.

Consolidated Operating Cash Flow

Entergy’s operating cash flow in second quarter 2014 was $761 million compared to $572 million in second quarter 2013. The quarter-over-quarter increase was driven primarily by:

·   Higher EWC net revenue,

·   Lower income tax payments (intercompany income tax payments contributed to the line of business variances, but netted to a smaller number at the consolidated level) and

·   Non-capital spending in second quarter 2013 related to ANO recovery from the stator drop incident

These increases were partially offset by higher pension contributions as well as the second quarter 2013 receipt of proceeds from the DOE resulting from litigation regarding storage of spent nuclear fuel.

Table 3 provides the components of operating cash flow contributed by each business with current quarter and year-to-date comparisons.

Table 3: Consolidated Operating Cash Flow

II.   Utility

In second quarter 2014, Utility earnings were $1.15 per share on an as-reported basis and $1.17 per share on an operational basis, compared to as-reported earnings per share of $1.10 and operational earnings per share of $1.18 in second quarter 2013. Higher net revenue and lower non-fuel O&M expense were offset by higher depreciation expense and a higher effective income tax rate.

The increase in Utility net revenue was driven largely by pricing adjustments from recent rate actions. The contribution attributable to volume was slightly negative. Higher weather-adjusted billed sales volume, particularly sales to industrial customers, was offset by the effects of weather, including milder weather in late June 2014 reflected in the unbilled period.

Billed retail sales increased 2.6 percent on a weather-adjusted basis. The increase was attributable largely to 5.3 percent growth in the industrial customer class. The industrial increase was led by the refining, chemicals and small industrial segments and was aided by expansions. Growth in ETI and EGSL service areas accounted for approximately 85 percent of the total industrial quarter-over-quarter increase.

Retail electric sales in billed GWhs by customer class are summarized in Table 4. Second quarter 2014 sales reflected the following:

·   Residential sales, on a weather-adjusted basis, increased 0.2 percent compared to second quarter 2013.

·   Weather-adjusted commercial and governmental sales increased 1.4 percent quarter over quarter.

·   Industrial sales in the second quarter increased 5.3 percent compared to the same quarter of 2013.

Utility non-fuel O&M was lower than the same quarter a year ago. The decrease reflected lower compensation and benefits costs from fewer employees and lower post-retirement benefit costs.

Table 4 also provides a comparative summary of Utility operational performance measures.

See webcast presentation appendix slides for information on select regulatory cases.

III.   EWC

EWC operational adjusted EBITDA was $145 million in second quarter 2014, compared to $61 million in the same period a year ago, as shown in Table 5.

Operational adjusted EBITDA	145	61	84	600	255	345

 Totals may not foot due to rounding.

The quarter-over-quarter increase was attributable to net revenue. EWC’s nuclear fleet capacity factor improved on no refueling outages in second quarter 2014 as well as 37 fewer unplanned outage days. Higher realized price, driven by improved Northeast capacity prices, also contributed to the net revenue increase. The realized price for EWC’s nuclear fleet was approximately $50 per MWh in the second quarter of this year, compared to $46.40 in the comparable quarter a year ago.

Contribution to second quarter 2014 operational adjusted EBITDA from VY, scheduled to be closed later this year at the end of its current operating cycle, was approximately $12 million.

EWC as-reported earnings were $0.14 per share and operational earnings were $0.18 per share for second quarter 2014, compared to second quarter 2013 earnings of $0.06 per share on an as-reported basis and $0.07 per share on an operational basis. The increase in operational earnings was driven by higher operational adjusted EBITDA. The increase was partially offset by higher depreciation and income tax expenses.

Table 6 provides a comparative summary of EWC operational performance measures.

(b) Second quarter and year-to-date 2014 were lower due to the retirement of R.E. Ritchie Unit 2 (gas/oil) plant in November 2013 (544 MW).

(c) Second quarter and year-to-date 2013 and 2014 excluded the effect of the special item for HCM implementation expenses. Second quarter and year-to-date 2014 also excluded costs resulting from the decision to close VY.

Table 7 provides information on current forward capacity and generation contracts for EWC’s fleet. Positions that are no longer classified as hedges are netted in the percent of planned generation under contract. Table 7 also provides total energy and capacity revenue projections using market prices as of June 30, 2014. EWC uses a combination of forward physical and financial contracts, including swaps, collars, put and/or call options to manage certain risks of that business including forward commodity price, operational and liquidity risks. Certain hedge volumes have price downside and upside relative to market price movements. The contracted minimum, current expected value and sensitivities are provided to show potential variations. The sensitivities may not reflect the total upside potential from higher market prices. Information contained in Table 7 represents projections at a point in time and will vary over time based on numerous factors, such as future market prices, contracting activities and generation.

IV.   Parent & Other

Parent & Other reported a loss of $(0.24) per share on an as-reported and operational basis for second quarter 2014 and second quarter 2013. No line items were individually significant.

V.   2014 Earnings Guidance

Entergy affirmed its previously issued 2014 operational earnings guidance to be in the range of $5.55 to $6.75 per share. Because 2014 operational earnings per share are expected to be within the established range, the company is not repeating guidance details previously provided.

Operational earnings guidance for 2014 should be considered in association with earnings sensitivities as shown in Table 8. These sensitivities illustrate the estimated change in operational earnings per share resulting from changes in various revenue and expense drivers. Traditionally, the most significant variables for earnings drivers are retail sales for the Utility and energy prices for EWC.

Estimated annual impacts shown in Table 8 are intended to be indicative rather than precise guidance.

Three major aspects of the Utility growth strategy which support the outlook, include: ·Productive investment to meet existing and potential demand growth as well as reliability improvements, ·Unique economic development opportunity driving 3.5 to 3.75 percent retail sales growth (CAGR off 2013 weather-adjusted results) to support rate stability and help fund productive investment and ·Ongoing engagement and collaboration with regulators on initiatives to benefit customers.
EWC	Operational adjusted EBITDA	EWC operational adjusted EBITDA estimates will experience volatility based on commodity market activities at specific points in time. The EWC strategy is to preserve optionality and manage risks in that business. Cornerstones of that strategy include: ·Operational excellence and disciplined cost management, ·Robust hedging strategy to position the business to take advantage of price volatility, ·Continued pursuit of fair and competitive wholesale markets that provide proper compensation for needed plants and ·Ongoing efforts to educate parties on Indian Point’s critical role in the community and to continue along multiple paths to advocate for continued operations at that plant.
Parent & Other	Operational earnings per share	Operational earnings per share outlook of $(1.10) to $(1.20) in 2016. Key drivers include level of borrowings as well cost of debt, level of affiliate preferred investments and effective income tax rate.
Entergy	Operational earnings per share	Entergy continues to reasonably believe that the company can achieve consolidated operational earnings per share growth of 2 to 4 percent CAGR by 2016 (2013 base year), based on factors described above and assuming realization of Entergy’s POV on market power prices.

(g) The current quarter and year-to-date increases reflected pricing adjustments from recent rate actions. A portion of the increase was for recovery of costs outside of net revenue, and a portion was attributable to higher regulatory credits from lower realized income on decommissioning trust fund investments (offset in interest and investment income). For the quarter, the effect from volume was slightly negative as higher weather-adjusted billed sales were offset by the impact of weather including the effects of weather in the unbilled period. Favorable weather in first quarter 2014 compared to unfavorable weather in the comparable period last year contributed to the year-to-date net revenue increase.

Utility Net Revenue Variance Analysis 2014 vs. 2013 ($ EPS)
	Second Quarter	Year-to-Date
Weather	(0.03)	0.25
Sales growth/pricing	0.14	0.22
Other	0.05	0.08
Total	0.16	0.55

(h) The quarterly and year-to-date increases reflected a higher nuclear capacity factor due to fewer refueling and unplanned outage days. The increases also reflected higher capacity prices for the EWC nuclear fleet. Higher realized price also reflected the effect of mark-to-market activity. Significantly higher energy prices for EWC’s northeast nuclear assets in first quarter 2014 also contributed to the year-to-date increase.

(i) The increases in the current quarter and year-to-date periods included lower compensation and benefits expense due to fewer employees and lower post-retirement benefit costs. Lower fossil spending and second quarter 2013 expenses related to the generator stator incident at ANO also contributed to the increase. The increases were partially offset by higher storm accruals and energy efficiency spending (offset by net revenue increases). New MISO RTO administration fees also provided a partial offset. The as-reported increases also reflected 2013 expenses in connection with the planned spin-merge of the transmission business.

(j) The current quarter decrease was due primarily to lower gains realized on Utility decommissioning trust investments mainly at EAI and EGSL (offset by higher net revenue).

(k) The current quarter and year-to-date decreases were due to additions to plant in service as well as higher depreciation rates at EAI (offset in net revenue).

(l) The quarter-over-quarter and year-to-date decreases were due to the effects of a new depreciation study as well as additions to plant in service.

(m) Decreases in the current quarter and year-to-date were driven by higher interest reserves on uncertain tax positions compared to the same period a year ago and a state tax benefit in second quarter 2013.

(n) The quarter-over-quarter decrease was due primarily to a state income tax benefit of approximately $17 million recorded in the second quarter last year. The year-to-date increase also reflected a change in New York law resulting in a reduction of deferred income taxes of approximately $21.5 million in first quarter 2014.

Appendix A-3 lists special items by business with quarter-to-quarter and year-to-date comparisons. Amounts are shown on both an earnings per share basis and a net income basis. Special items are those events that are not routine. Special items are included in as-reported earnings per share consistent with GAAP, but are excluded from operational earnings per share. As a result, operational earnings per share is considered a non-GAAP measure.

B.   Financial and Historical Performance Measures

Appendix B-1 provides comparative financial performance measures for the current quarter. Appendix B-2 provides historical financial and operating performance measures for the trailing eight quarters. Financial performance measures in both tables 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. A reconciliation of operational measures to as-reported measures is provided in Appendix D.

Entergy Reports Second Quarter Earnings

Improved EWC fleet performance and industrial sales growth at Utility highlight quarter

New Orleans, La. – Entergy Corporation (NYSE: ETR) today reported second quarter 2014 as-reported earnings of $189.4 million, or $1.05 per share, compared with $163.7 million, or 92 cents per share, for second quarter 2013. Operational earnings per share were 10 percent higher than the same quarter a year ago. On an operational basis, Entergy’s second quarter 2014 earnings were $200.3 million, or $1.11 per share, compared with $179.7 million, or $1.01 per share, in second quarter 2013.

“Our focus on operational excellence allowed us to continue to deliver on our commitments in the second quarter. At the Utility, we saw strong quarter-over-quarter industrial sales growth of 5.3 percent, and at Entergy Wholesale Commodities, solid performance was driven largely by improved fleet operations and no refueling outages, which allowed us to provide extended periods of uninterrupted power to the market,” said Entergy Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Leo Denault. “These results are further evidence of the progress we’ve made on many fronts over the past 18 months. The state of Entergy’s business is strong.”

·   Parent & Other results matched the prior period.

Other Business Highlights

·   River Bend was rated in the “excellence” category as compared to peers.

·   Since June, the Utility has signed economic development projects totaling approximately 100 megawatts.

Utility

In second quarter 2014, Utility earnings were $207.8 million, or $1.15 per share, on an as-reported basis and $211.3 million, or $1.17 per share, on an operational basis, compared to $196.2 million, or $1.10 per share, on an as-reported basis and $211.1 million, or $1.18 per share, on an operational basis for second quarter 2013. Higher net revenue and lower non-fuel O&M expense were offset by higher depreciation expense and a higher effective income tax rate.

The increase in Utility net revenue was driven largely by pricing adjustments from recent rate actions. The contribution attributable to volume was slightly negative. Higher weather-adjusted billed sales volume, particularly sales to industrial customers, was offset by the effects of weather, including milder weather in late June 2014 reflected in the unbilled period.

Billed retail sales increased 2.6 percent on a weather-adjusted basis. The increase was attributable largely to 5.3 percent growth in the industrial customer class. The industrial increase was led by the refining, chemicals and small industrial segments and was aided by expansions. Growth in Entergy Texas, Inc. and Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C. service areas accounted for approximately 85 percent of the total industrial quarter-over-quarter increase.

Utility non-fuel O&M was lower than the same quarter a year ago. The decrease reflected lower compensation and benefits costs from fewer employees and lower post-retirement benefit costs.

Entergy Wholesale Commodities

EWC reported as-reported earnings of $25.9 million, or 14 cents per share, and operational earnings of $33.4 million, or 18 cents per share, for second quarter 2014, compared to second quarter 2013 earnings of $11.5 million, or 6 cents per share, on an as-reported basis and $12.7 million, or 7 cents per share, on an operational basis. The increase in operational earnings was driven by higher operational adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and interest and investment income excluding decommissioning expense and other than temporary impairment losses on decommissioning trust fund assets. The increase was partially offset by higher depreciation and income tax expenses.

EWC operational adjusted EBITDA was $145 million in second quarter 2014, compared to $61 million in the same period a year ago. The quarter-over-quarter increase was attributable to net revenue. EWC’s nuclear fleet capacity factor improved on no refueling outages in second quarter 2014 as well as 37 fewer unplanned outage days. Higher realized price, driven by improved Northeast capacity prices, also contributed to the net revenue increase. The realized price for EWC’s nuclear fleet was approximately $50 per MWh in the second quarter of this year, compared to $46.40 in the comparable quarter a year ago.

Parent & Other

Parent & Other reported a loss of $44.3 million, or 24 cents per share, on an as-reported and operational basis for second quarter 2014, compared to a loss of $44.0 million, or 24 cents per share, on an as-reported and operational basis for second quarter 2013. No line items were individually significant.

Earnings Guidance

Entergy affirmed its previously issued 2014 operational earnings guidance to be in the range of $5.55 to $6.75 per share.

Three-Year Financial Outlook

Entergy’s current three-year financial outlook for 2014 through 2016 is summarized below.

Utility operational net income outlook of $1 billion to $1.050 billion by 2016, or 5 to 7 percent compound annual growth rate off 2013 base, through a combination of rate base growth and return on equity improvement. Three major aspects of the Utility growth strategy which support the outlook, include:

·   Productive investment to meet existing and potential demand growth as well as reliability improvements,

·   Unique economic development opportunity driving 3.5 to 3.75 percent retail sales growth (CAGR off 2013 weather-adjusted results) to support rate stability and help fund productive investment and

·   Ongoing engagement and collaboration with regulators on initiatives to benefit customers.

EWC operational adjusted EBITDA estimates will experience volatility based on commodity market activities at specific points in time. The EWC strategy is to preserve optionality and manage risks in that business. Cornerstones of that strategy include:

·   Operational excellence and disciplined cost management,

·   Robust hedging strategy to position the business to take advantage of price volatility,

·   Continued pursuit of fair and competitive wholesale markets that provide proper compensation for needed plants and

·   Ongoing efforts to educate parties on Indian Point’s critical role in the community and to continue along multiple paths to advocate for continued operations at that plant.

Parent and Other operational earnings per share outlook of $(1.10) to $(1.20) in 2016. Key drivers include level of borrowings as well cost of debt, level of affiliate preferred investments and effective income tax rate.

Entergy continues to reasonably believe that the company can achieve consolidated operational earnings per share growth of 2 to 4 percent CAGR by 2016 (2013 base year), based on factors described above and assuming realization of Entergy’s point of view on market power prices.

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 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 reportable 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 or are related to discontinued businesses.  In addition, other financial measures including net income (or earnings), rolling 12 months including preferred dividends and tax effected interest expense; 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.  Management believes that financial metrics calculated using operational earnings 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 energy sector.

Other non-GAAP measures, adjusted EBITDA; operational adjusted EBITDA; normalized return on average common equity; gross liquidity; debt to capital ratio, excluding securitization debt; net debt to net capital ratio, excluding securitization debt; net debt to net capital ratio including off-balance sheet liabilities, excluding securitization debt; parent debt to total debt ratio, excluding securitization debt; debt to operational adjusted EBITDA, excluding securitization debt; and 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 cash availability to the cash availability of others in the energy sector.

The non-GAAP financial measures and other reported adjusted items in the Earnings Releases 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 our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, could 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 might not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.
