Third quarter 2015 results of operations includes $1,642 million ($1,062 million net-of-tax) of impairment and related charges to write down the carrying values of the FitzPatrick and Pilgrim plants and related assets to their fair values. Fourth quarter 2015 results of operations includes $396 million ($256 million net-of-tax) of impairment and related changes to write down the carrying values of the Palisades plant and related assets to their fair values. See Note 1 to the financial statements for further discussion of the charges. As a result of the Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Gulf States Louisiana business combination, results of operations for 2015 also include two items that occurred in October 2015: 1) a deferred tax asset and resulting net increase in tax basis of approximately $334 million and 2) a regulatory liability of $107 million ($66 million net-of-tax) as a result of customer credits to be realized by electric customers of Entergy Louisiana, consistent with the terms of an agreement with the LPSC. See Note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of the business combination and customer credits. Results of operations for fourth quarter 2015 also include the sale in December 2015 of the 583 MW Rhode Island State Energy Center for a realized gain of $154 million ($100 million net-of-tax) on the sale and the $77 million ($47 million net-of-tax) write-off and related charges to recognize that a portion of the assets associated with Entergy Louisiana’s Waterford 3 replacement steam generator project is no longer probable of recovery. See Note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of the Waterford 3 write-off.

Results of operations for third quarter 2014 include $113 million ($74 million net-of-tax) of charges related to Vermont Yankee, including the effects of an updated decommissioning cost study along with reassessment of assumptions regarding the timing of decommissioning cash flows and severance and employee retention costs. See Note 1 to the financial statements for further discussion of these charges. Results of operations for third quarter 2014 also include the $61 million ($40 million net-of-tax) write-off of Entergy Mississippi’s regulatory asset associated with new nuclear generation development costs as a result of a joint stipulation entered into with the Mississippi Public Utilities Staff, subsequently approved by the MPSC, in which Entergy Mississippi agreed not to pursue recovery of the costs deferred by an MPSC order in the new nuclear generation docket. See Note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of the new nuclear generation development costs and the joint stipulation.

See Note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of the business combination and customer credits.

Fourth quarter 2015 results of operations includes $396 million ($256 million net-of-tax) of impairment and related changes to write down the carrying values of the Palisades plant and related assets to their fair values. See Note 1 to the financial statements for further discussion of the charges.

See Note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of the business combination and customer credits. Results of operations for fourth quarter 2015 also include the sale in December 2015 of the 583 MW Rhode Island State Energy Center for a realized gain of $154 million ($100 million net-of-tax) on the sale and the $77 million ($47 million net-of-tax) write-off and related charges to recognize that a portion of the assets associated with Entergy Louisiana’s Waterford 3 replacement steam generator project is no longer probable of recovery.

Results of operations for third quarter 2014 also include the $61 million ($40 million net-of-tax) write-off of Entergy Mississippi’s regulatory asset associated with new nuclear generation development costs as a result of a joint stipulation entered into with the Mississippi Public Utilities Staff, subsequently approved by the MPSC, in which Entergy Mississippi agreed not to pursue recovery of the costs deferred by an MPSC order in the new nuclear generation docket. See Note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of the new nuclear generation development costs and the joint stipulation.

See Note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of the business combination and customer credits. Results of operations for fourth quarter 2015 also include the sale in December 2015 of the 583 MW Rhode Island State Energy Center for a realized gain of $154 million ($100 million net-of-tax) on the sale and the $77 million ($47 million net-of-tax) write-off and related charges to recognize that a portion of the assets associated with Entergy Louisiana’s Waterford 3 replacement steam generator project is no longer probable of recovery. See Note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of the Waterford 3 write-off.

Results of operations for third quarter 2014 include $113 million ($74 million net-of-tax) of charges related to Vermont Yankee, including the effects of an updated decommissioning cost study along with reassessment of assumptions regarding the timing of decommissioning cash flows and severance and employee retention costs.

Results of operations for third quarter 2014 also include the $61 million ($40 million net-of-tax) write-off of Entergy Mississippi’s regulatory asset associated with new nuclear generation development costs as a result of a joint stipulation entered into with the Mississippi Public Utilities Staff, subsequently approved by the MPSC, in which Entergy Mississippi agreed not to pursue recovery of the costs deferred by an MPSC order in the new nuclear generation docket. See Note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of the new nuclear generation development costs and the joint stipulation.
