Consolidated results
For third quarter 2025, the company reported earnings of $694 million, or $1.53 per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to third quarter 2024 earnings of $645 million, or $1.50 per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis.
Summary discussions of results by business follow. Additional details, including information on operating cash flow by business, are provided in Appendix A. A more detailed analysis of earnings per share variances by business is provided in Appendix B.

Business results
Utility
For third quarter 2025, the Utility business reported earnings attributable to Entergy Corporation of $810 million, or $1.79 per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to third quarter 2024 earnings of $787 million, or $1.82 per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis.
Drivers for the quarter-over-quarter increase included the net effect of regulatory actions across the operating companies, higher retail sales volume, and higher other income (deductions) primarily due to an increase in AFUDC-equity.

These increases were partially offset by higher other O&M, taxes other than income taxes, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization.

On a per share basis, third quarter 2025 results reflected higher diluted average number of common shares outstanding primarily due to the settlement of equity forwards in May 2025 as well as the dilutive effect of an increase in the stock price on unsettled equity forwards.
Appendix C contains additional details on Utility operating and financial measures.

Parent & Other
For third quarter 2025, Parent & Other reported a loss attributable to Entergy Corporation of $(117 million), or (26) cents per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to a third quarter 2024 loss of $(142 million), or (33) cents per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis.
The primary driver for the quarter-over-quarter change was other income (deductions) largely due to changes in legal provisions in third quarter 2024.
On a per share basis, third quarter 2025 results reflected higher diluted average number of common shares outstanding (see details in Utility section).
Earnings per share guidance
Entergy narrowed its 2025 adjusted earnings per share guidance to a range of $3.85 to $3.95. See the earnings call presentation for additional details.
The company has provided 2025 earnings guidance with regard to the non-GAAP measure of adjusted earnings per share. This measure excludes from the corresponding GAAP financial measure the effect of adjustments as described below under “Non-GAAP financial measures.” The company has not provided a reconciliation of such non-GAAP guidance to guidance presented on a GAAP basis because it cannot predict and quantify with a reasonable degree of confidence all of the adjustments that may occur during the period. Potential adjustments include, among other things, the exclusion of significant income tax items, certain items recorded as a result of regulatory settlements or decisions, and certain unusual costs or expenses.

presentation. Both documents are available on Entergy’s Investor Relations website at investors.entergy.com/investors/events-and-presentations.
Entergy maintains a web page as part of its Investor Relations website entitled Regulatory and other information, which provides investors with key updates on certain regulatory proceedings and important milestones on the execution of its strategy. While some of this information may be considered material information, investors should not rely exclusively on this page for all relevant company information.
For definitions of certain operating measures, as well as GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures and abbreviations and acronyms used in the earnings release materials, see Appendix E.
Non-GAAP financial measures
This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures, which are generally numerical measures of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either exclude or include 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 news release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Entergy reports earnings using the non-GAAP measure of adjusted earnings, which excludes the effect of certain “adjustments.” Adjustments are unusual or non-recurring items or events or other items or events that management believes do not reflect the ongoing business of Entergy, such as significant income tax items, certain items recorded as a result of regulatory settlements or decisions, and certain unusual costs or expenses. In addition to reporting GAAP earnings on a per share basis, Entergy reports its adjusted earnings on a per share basis. These per share measures represent the applicable earnings amount divided by the diluted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share for, among other things, financial planning and analysis; reporting financial results to the board of directors, employees, stockholders, analysts, and investors; and internal evaluation of financial performance. Entergy believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in evaluating the ongoing results of Entergy’s business, comparing period to period results, and comparing Entergy’s financial performance to the financial performance of other companies in the utility sector.
Other non-GAAP measures, including adjusted ROE, adjusted ROE excluding affiliate preferred, FFO to adjusted debt, gross liquidity, net liquidity, adjusted Parent debt to total adjusted debt, adjusted debt to adjusted capitalization, and adjusted net debt to adjusted net capitalization are measures Entergy uses internally for management and board discussions and to gauge the overall strength of its business. Entergy believes the above data provides useful information to investors in evaluating Entergy’s ongoing financial results and flexibility and assists investors in comparing Entergy’s credit and liquidity to the credit and liquidity of others in the utility sector. These metrics are defined in Appendix E.
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, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Entergy’s business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be used to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Investors are strongly encouraged to review Entergy’s consolidated financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Although certain of these measures are intended to assist investors in comparing Entergy’s performance to other companies in the utility sector, 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.

(g)    Entergy executed a two-for-one forward stock split that was effective with trading on Dec. 13, 2024; 2024 per-share information and diluted number of common shares outstanding have been restated to reflect the post-split share count.
(h)    EPS effect is calculated by multiplying the pre-tax amount by the estimated income tax rate that is expected to apply and dividing by diluted average number of common shares outstanding for the prior period. Income taxes – other represents income tax differences other than the income tax effect of individual line item variances. Share effect captures the per share impact from the change in diluted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive effect of an increase in the stock price on unsettled equity forwards.
(i)    The third quarter and year-to-date earnings increases reflected higher electric volume including the effects of weather and the effect of rate actions including: E-AR’s FRP, E-LA’s FRP (including riders), E-LA’s RPCR, E-MS’s FRP interim facilities rate adjustment, E-NO’s FRP, and E-TX’s DCRF. The increases also reflected the receipt of a $15 million ($11 million after tax) liquidated damages payment to E-MS in third quarter 2025 resulting from a counterparty’s termination of a purchased power agreement. The increases were partially offset by the absence of natural gas revenues as a result of the sale of natural gas distribution businesses and higher MISO capacity costs at E-TX. The variances also reflected changes in regulatory provisions for decommissioning items (based on regulatory treatment, decommissioning-related variances are offset in other line items and are largely earnings neutral). The year-to-date increase also reflected a first quarter 2024 $(79 million) ($(57 million) after tax) regulatory provision recorded at E-NO to reflect the company’s agreement to share additional income tax benefits from the 2016–2018 IRS audit resolution with customers and a second quarter 2024 regulatory charge of $(150 million) ($(111 million) after tax) recorded as a result of E-LA reaching a settlement with the LPSC staff and other parties (both considered adjustments and excluded from adjusted earnings). Additionally, the year-to-date variance included the effects of E-MS’s FRP, E-TX’s base rate case relate-back portion in retail price, and lower Grand Gulf revenue primarily due to lower other O&M.
(j)    The third quarter earnings decrease from higher Utility other O&M reflected higher power delivery expenses primarily due to vegetation management costs, an increase in compensation and benefits costs, an increase in power generation expenses, and an increase in bad debt expense. The decrease also included the third quarter 2025 $(11 million) ($(8 million) after tax) expensing of project costs associated with E-LA’s Bayou Power Station project following the operating company’s decision to evaluate an alternative transmission solution. The third quarter decrease was partially offset by contract costs in 2024 related to operational performance, customer service, and organizational health initiatives and a gain of $13 million ($8 million after tax) resulting from the sale of the natural gas distribution businesses on July 1, 2025.

The year-to-date earnings decrease from higher Utility other O&M reflected higher power delivery expenses primarily due to vegetation management costs, higher power generation costs largely due to a higher scope of work performed during power outages, an increase in bad debt expense, higher MISO transmission costs, and the expensing of E-LA’s Bayou Power Station project costs. The year-to-date decrease was partially offset by contract costs in 2024 related to operational performance, customer service, and organizational health initiatives and a gain from the sale of natural gas distribution businesses on July 1, 2025.
(k)    The third quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from higher Utility taxes other than income taxes were primarily due to an increase in ad valorem taxes resulting from higher assessments and an increase in local franchise taxes as a result of higher retail revenues.
(l)    The third quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from higher Utility depreciation and amortization were primarily due to higher plant in service and increases in E-LA’s nuclear depreciation rates effective Sept. 2024 and Sept. 2025. The year-to-date decrease was partially offset by the recognition of depreciation expense from E-TX’s 2022 base rate case relate back in first and second quarters of 2024.
(m)    The third quarter and year-to-date earnings increases from higher Utility other income (deductions) were primarily due to higher AFUDC–equity due to higher construction work in progress and an increase in the amortization of tax gross ups on customer advances for construction. The variances also reflected changes in nuclear decommissioning trust returns, including portfolio rebalancing (based on regulatory treatment, decommissioning-related variances are offset in other line items and are largely earnings neutral). The year-to-date increase also reflected an increase in interest earned on external money pool investments and a true-up of E-LA’s MISO cost recovery mechanism, partially offset by lower intercompany dividend income from affiliate preferred membership interest related to storm cost securitizations (largely offset at P&O).
(n)    The third quarter and year-to-date earnings increases from Parent & Other other income (deductions) reflected third quarter 2024 changes in legal provisions. The year-to-date as-reported increase also reflected a second quarter 2024 $(317 million) ($(250 million) after tax) one-time non-cash pension settlement charge associated with the purchase of a group annuity contract to settle certain pension liabilities (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).
(o)    The third quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from higher Utility interest expense were primarily due to higher interest rates, higher debt balances, and carrying costs on customer advances for construction in 2025. The decreases were partially offset by higher AFUDC–debt due to higher construction work in progress.
(p)    The third quarter and year-to-date earnings per share impacts from share effect were primarily due to the settlement of equity forwards in May 2025 and the dilutive effect of an increase in the stock price on unsettled equity forwards.
(q)    The year-to-date earnings increase was primarily due to lower fuel and purchased power expenses associated with the conclusion of a legacy EWC purchased power agreement in Dec. 2024.
(r)    The year-to-date earnings increase from lower Utility nuclear refueling outage expenses was primarily due to the amortization of lower costs associated with the most recent outages as compared to previous outages.
(s)    The year-to-date as-reported earnings increase from Utility asset write-offs and impairments was due to the first quarter 2024 write off of an E-AR $(132 million) ($(97 million) after tax) regulatory asset related to the opportunity sales proceeding (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).

(t)    The effects of weather were estimated using heating degree days and cooling degree days for the period from certain locations within each jurisdiction and comparing to “normal” weather based on 20-year historical data. The models used to estimate weather are updated periodically and are subject to change.

For the quarter, weather-adjusted retail sales increased 4.4 percent. The increase was primarily due to higher usage for residential, commercial, and industrial classes. Industrial sales increased 7.3 percent mainly due to higher sales to large industrial customers largely in the primary metals, chlor-alkali, and industrial gases industries. Residential sales were 2.7 percent higher and commercial sales increased 1.9 percent.
