Businesses marked with * are sometimes referred to as the “competitive businesses.”  Eliminations are primarily intersegment activity.  Almost all of Entergy’s goodwill is related to the Utility segment.

Earnings were negatively affected by expenses in 2013 of approximately $110 million ($70 million net-of-tax), including approximately $85 million ($55 million net-of-tax) for Utility and $25 million ($15 million net-of-tax) for Entergy Wholesale Commodities, and expenses in 2014 of approximately $20 million ($12 million net-of-tax), including approximately $15 million ($9 million net-of-tax) for Utility and $5 million ($3 million net-of-tax) for Entergy Wholesale Commodities, recorded in connection with a strategic imperative intended to optimize the organization through a process known as human capital management. In July 2013 management completed a comprehensive review of Entergy’s organization design and processes. This effort resulted in a new internal organization structure, which resulted in the elimination of approximately 800 employee positions. The restructuring costs associated with this phase of human capital management included implementation costs, severance expenses, benefits-related costs, including pension curtailment losses and special termination benefits, and impairments of corporate property, plant, and equipment. The implementation costs, severance costs, and benefits-related costs are included in “Other operation and maintenance” in the consolidated income statements. The property, plant, and equipment impairments are included in “Asset write-offs, impairments, and related charges” in the consolidated income statements. Total restructuring charges were comprised of the following:

Geographic Areas

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, the amount of revenue Entergy derived from outside of the United States was insignificant.  As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, Entergy had no long-lived assets located outside of the United States.

Registrant Subsidiaries

Each of the Registrant Subsidiaries has one reportable segment, which is an integrated utility business, except for System Energy, which is an electricity generation business.  Each of the Registrant Subsidiaries’ operations is managed on an integrated basis by that company because of the substantial effect of cost-based rates and regulatory oversight on the business process, cost structures, and operating results.

Businesses marked with * are sometimes referred to as the “competitive businesses.”  Eliminations are primarily intersegment activity.  Almost all of Entergy’s goodwill is related to the Utility segment.

Earnings were negatively affected by expenses in 2013 of approximately $110 million ($70 million net-of-tax), including approximately $85 million ($55 million net-of-tax) for Utility and $25 million ($15 million net-of-tax) for Entergy Wholesale Commodities, and expenses in 2014 of approximately $20 million ($12 million net-of-tax), including approximately $15 million ($9 million net-of-tax) for Utility and $5 million ($3 million net-of-tax) for Entergy Wholesale Commodities, recorded in connection with a strategic imperative intended to optimize the organization through a process known as human capital management. In July 2013 management completed a comprehensive review of Entergy’s organization design and processes. This effort resulted in a new internal organization structure, which resulted in the elimination of approximately 800 employee positions. The restructuring costs associated with this phase of human capital management included implementation costs, severance expenses, benefits-related costs, including pension curtailment losses and special termination benefits, and impairments of corporate property, plant, and equipment. The implementation costs, severance costs, and benefits-related costs are included in “Other operation and maintenance” in the consolidated income statements. The property, plant, and equipment impairments are included in “Asset write-offs, impairments, and related charges” in the consolidated income statements.

Geographic Areas

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, the amount of revenue Entergy derived from outside of the United States was insignificant.  As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, Entergy had no long-lived assets located outside of the United States.

Each of the Registrant Subsidiaries has one reportable segment, which is an integrated utility business, except for System Energy, which is an electricity generation business.  Each of the Registrant Subsidiaries’ operations is managed on an integrated basis by that company because of the substantial effect of cost-based rates and regulatory oversight on the business process, cost structures, and operating results.

Businesses marked with * are sometimes referred to as the “competitive businesses.”  Eliminations are primarily intersegment activity.  Almost all of Entergy’s goodwill is related to the Utility segment.

Earnings were negatively affected by expenses in 2013 of approximately $110 million ($70 million net-of-tax), including approximately $85 million ($55 million net-of-tax) for Utility and $25 million ($15 million net-of-tax) for Entergy Wholesale Commodities, and expenses in 2014 of approximately $20 million ($12 million net-of-tax), including approximately $15 million ($9 million net-of-tax) for Utility and $5 million ($3 million net-of-tax) for Entergy Wholesale Commodities, recorded in connection with a strategic imperative intended to optimize the organization through a process known as human capital management. In July 2013 management completed a comprehensive review of Entergy’s organization design and processes. This effort resulted in a new internal organization structure, which resulted in the elimination of approximately 800 employee positions. The restructuring costs associated with this phase of human capital management included implementation costs, severance expenses, benefits-related costs, including pension curtailment losses and special termination benefits, and impairments of corporate property, plant, and equipment. The implementation costs, severance costs, and benefits-related costs are included in “Other operation and maintenance” in the consolidated income statements. The property, plant, and equipment impairments are included in “Asset write-offs, impairments, and related charges” in the consolidated income statements. Total restructuring charges were comprised of the following:

Geographic Areas

Registrant Subsidiaries

Each of the Registrant Subsidiaries has one reportable segment, which is an integrated utility business, except for System Energy, which is an electricity generation business.  Each of the Registrant Subsidiaries’ operations is managed on an integrated basis by that company because of the substantial effect of cost-based rates and regulatory oversight on the business process, cost structures, and operating results.
