FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
In this combined report and from time to time, Entergy Corporation and the Registrant Subsidiaries each makes statements as a registrant concerning its expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, projections, strategies, and future events or performance. Such statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “goal,” “commitment,” “expect,” “estimate,” “continue,” “potential,” “plan,” “predict,” “forecast,” and other similar words or expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the only means to identify these statements. Although each of these registrants believes that these forward-looking statements and the underlying assumptions are reasonable, it cannot provide assurance that they will prove correct. Any forward-looking statement is based on information current as of the date of this combined report and speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made. Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, each registrant undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. There are factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, including (a) those factors discussed or incorporated by reference in Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Form 10-K and in this report, (b) those factors discussed or incorporated by reference in Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis in the Form 10-K and in this report, and (c) the following factors (in addition to others described elsewhere in this combined report and in subsequent filings with the SEC):

Operating Revenues
Utility
Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the first quarter 2025 to the first quarter 2024:
Amount
(In Millions)
2024 operating revenues
$2,772
Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income
(132)
Volume/weather
114
Retail electric price
76
2025 operating revenues
$2,830
The Utility operating companies’ results include revenues from rate mechanisms designed to recover fuel, purchased power, and other costs such that the revenues and expenses associated with these items generally offset and do not affect net income. “Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income” includes the revenue variance associated with these items.
The volume/weather variance is primarily due to the effect of more favorable weather on residential sales and an increase in industrial usage. The increase in industrial usage is primarily due to an increase in demand from large industrial customers, primarily in the petroleum refining, chlor-alkali, and primary metals industries.
The retail electric price variance is primarily due to:
•
an increase in Entergy Arkansas’s formula rate plan rates effective January 2025;
•
an increase in Entergy Louisiana’s formula rate plan revenues, including an increase in the distribution recovery mechanism, effective September 2024, partially offset by decreases in formula rate plan revenues due to interim formula rate plan rate adjustments effective January 2025 and March 2025;
•
increases in Entergy Mississippi’s formula rate plan rates effective April 2024 and July 2024 and an increase in the interim facilities rate adjustment revenues effective January 2025; and
•
the implementation of the distribution cost recovery factor rider effective with the first billing cycle in October 2024 and an increase in the distribution cost recovery factor rider effective in late December 2024, each at Entergy Texas.
See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the F

Other Income Statement Items
Utility
Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased from $681 million for the first quarter 2024 to $662 million for the first quarter 2025 primarily due to contract costs of $12 million, in first quarter 2024, related to operational performance, customer service, and organizational health initiatives and
a decrease of $8 million in compensation and benefits costs primarily due to a higher revision to estimated incentive-based compensation expense in first quarter 2025 as compared to first quarter 2024.
Asset write-offs, impairments, and related charges (credits) includes
a $132 million charge to reflect the write-off, at Entergy Arkansas, of a previously recorded regulatory asset as a result of an adverse decision in the Entergy Arkansas opportunity sales proceeding in March 2024. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for discussion of the Entergy Arkansas opportunity sales proceeding.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased primarily due to additions to plant in service and an increase in nuclear depreciation rates at Entergy Louisiana effective September 2024 in accordance with the global stipulated settlement agreement approved by the LPSC in August 2024. The increase was partially offset by the recognition of $14 million in depreciation expense in first quarter 2024 at Entergy Texas for the 2022 base rate case relate back period, effective over six months beginning January 2024. The recognition of depreciation expense for the relate back period was effective over the same period as collections from the relate back surcharge rider and resulted in no effect on net income. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the global stipulated settlement agreement. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the 2022 base rate case at Entergy Texas.
Other regulatory charges (credits) - net includes
a regulatory charge of
$78 million, recorded by Entergy New Orleans in first quarter 2024, primarily to reflect a settlement in principle between Entergy New Orleans and the City Council in April 2024 for additional sharing with customers of income tax benefits from the resolution of the 2016-2018 IRS audit.
See Note 3 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the April 2024 settlement in principle and for discussion of the resolution of the 2016-2018 IRS audit. In addition, Entergy records a regulatory charge or credit for the difference between asset retirement obligation-related expenses and nuclear decommissioning trust earnings plus asset retirement obligation-related costs collected in revenue.
Other income decreased primarily due to changes in decommissioning trust fund activity, including portfolio rebalancing of decommissioning trust funds in first quarter 2024, partially offset by an increase in the

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries
Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis
allowance for equity funds used during construction due to higher construction work in progress in 2025 and an increase in the amortization of tax gross ups on customer advances for construction.
Interest expense increased primarily due to:
•
the issuances by Entergy Arkansas of $400 million of 5.75% Series mortgage bonds and $400 million of 5.45% Series mortgage bonds, each in May 2024;
•
the issuance by Entergy Louisiana of $700 million of 5.15% Series mortgage bonds in August 2024;
•
the issuance by Entergy Louisiana of $750 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in January 2025;
•
the issuance by Entergy Mississippi of $300 million of 5.85% Series mortgage bonds in May 2024;
•
the issuance by Entergy Texas of $350 million of 5.55% Series mortgage bonds in August 2024;
•
the issuance by System Energy of $300 million of 5.30% Series mortgage bonds in December 2024; and
•
carrying costs on customer advances for construction.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 21.6% for the first quarter 2025. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2025 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the accrual for state income taxes, partially offset by certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items and book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction.
The effective income tax rate was 21.5% for the
first quarter
2024
. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the
first quarter
2024
versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the amortization of state accumulated deferred income taxes as a result of tax rate changes, a provision for uncertain tax positions, and the accrual for state income taxes, partially offset by certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items and book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction.

Potential impacts may include increases in costs associated with Entergy’s capital investments or operations and maintenance expenses; operational impacts, such as supply chain, manufacturing or raw materials sourcing disruptions which may affect Entergy’s ability to make planned capital investments as and when expected and needed; legal uncertainties, such as potential legal or other challenges to presidential tariff authority; or broader economic risks, including shifting customer demand, impacts on customer investment decisions, and volatile or uncertain credit and capital markets, which may affect Entergy’s ability to access needed capital. The nature and extent of any such

effects will depend on, among other things, the specifics of the changes that are ultimately implemented both domestically and internationally, the responses of vendors, suppliers, and other counterparties to those changes, indirect effects on the price and availability of non-tariffed goods, and the effectiveness of mitigation measures.
Capital Structure and Resources
Entergy’s debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table. The increase in the debt to capital ratio is primarily due to the net issuance of long-term debt in 2025.

Calculation excludes the Texas securitization bonds, which are non-recourse to Entergy Texas.
As of March 31, 2025, 21.1% of the debt outstanding is at the parent company, Entergy Corporation, and 78.9% is at the Utility. Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of notes payable and commercial paper, finance lease obligations, and long-term debt, including the currently maturing portion. Capital consists of debt, equity, and subsidiaries’ preferred stock without sinking fund. Net capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. The debt to capital ratio excluding securitization bonds and net debt to net capital ratio excluding securitization bonds are non-GAAP measures. Entergy uses the debt to capital ratios excluding securitization bonds in analyzing its financial condition and believes they provide useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy’s financial condition because the securitization bonds are non-recourse to Entergy, as more fully described in Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K. Entergy also uses the net debt to net capital ratio excluding securitization bonds in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy’s financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy’s outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.
Entergy Corporation has in place a credit facility that has a borrowing capacity of $3 billion and expires in June 2029. The facility includes fronting commitments for the issuance of letters of credit against $20 million of the total borrowing capacity of the credit facility. The commitment fee is currently 0.225% of the undrawn commitment amount. Commitment fees and interest rates on loans under the credit facility can fluctuate depending on the senior unsecured debt ratings of Entergy Corporation. As there were no borrowings under the facility for the three months ended March 31, 2025, the estimated interest rate as of March 31, 2025 that would have been applied to outstanding borrowings under the facility was 5.92%. The following is a summary of the amounts outstanding and capacity available under the credit facility as of March 31, 2025:

Entergy Corporation’s credit facility includes a covenant requiring Entergy to maintain a consolidated debt ratio, as defined, of 65% or less of its total capitalization. The calculation of this debt ratio under Entergy Corporation’s credit facility is different than the calculation of the debt to capital ratio above. Entergy is currently in compliance with the covenant and expects to remain in compliance with this covenant. If Entergy fails to meet this ratio, or if Entergy Corporation or one of the Registrant Subsidiaries (except Entergy New Orleans and System

Energy) defaults on other indebtedness or is in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, an acceleration of the Entergy Corporation credit facility’s maturity date may occur. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the Entergy Corporation credit facility and discussion of the Registrant Subsidiaries’ credit facilities.
Entergy Corporation has a commercial paper program with a Board-approved program limit of $2 billion. As of March 31, 2025, Entergy Corporation had $1,330 million of commercial paper outstanding. The weighted-average interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 4.66%.
Equity Issuances and Equity Distribution Program

” in the Form 10-K and Note 3 to the financial statements herein for discussion of equity issuances and the equity distribution program. The following is an update to that discussion.
In March 2025, Entergy marketed an equity offering of 17.8 million shares of Entergy Corporation common stock. In lieu of issuing equity at the time of the offering, Entergy entered into forward sale agreements with several forward counterparties. The forward sale agreements require Entergy to, at its election on or prior to September 30, 2026, either (1) physically settle the transactions by issuing the total of 17.8 million shares of its common stock to the forward counterparties in exchange for net proceeds at the then-applicable forward sale price specified by the agreements (initially $81.87 per share) or (2) net settle the transactions in whole or in part through the delivery or receipt of cash or shares. The forward sale price is subject to adjustment on a daily basis based on a floating interest rate factor and will decrease by other fixed amounts specified in the agreements. See Note 3 to the financial statements herein for further discussion of the forward sale agreements.
Capital Expenditure Plans and Other Uses of Capital
See the table and discussion in the Form 10-K under “

Lake Catherine Unit 5
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in November 2024, Entergy Arkansas filed an application with the APSC seeking a certificate of environmental compatibility and public need for the construction and operation of Lake Catherine Unit 5, a 446 MW hydrogen-capable simple-cycle natural gas combustion turbine facility to be located at the existing Lake Catherine facility site in Hot Spring County, Arkansas. In December 2024 other parties, including the APSC general staff, filed testimony opposing the resource, although the APSC general staff recognized the capacity need for the resource. Entergy Arkansas filed testimony in January 2025 further supporting its application, and in February 2025 the opposing parties filed responsive rebuttal testimony continuing to dispute the estimated costs and to dispute that Entergy Arkansas performed a market solicitation sufficient to demonstrate that this resource is the most reasonable option for customers. Also in February 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed surrebuttal testimony responding to the opposing parties’ testimony. A hearing was held in March 2025, and in April 2025 the APSC issued an order approving certification of the facility. The order also provided a presumption of prudence finding with respect to a benchmark project cost, which excluded AFUDC and contingency among other items. Entergy Arkansas will have the opportunity to later present all actual costs to the APSC for review for a prudence determination, including any costs incremental to the benchmark. Entergy Arkansas is evaluating potential responses to the APSC order. Subject to receipt of required regulatory approval and other conditions, the facility is expected to be in service by the end of 2028.

Entergy Louisiana Additional Generation and Transmission Resources
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in October 2024, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC seeking approval of a variety of generation and transmission resources proposed in connection with establishing service to a new data center to be developed by a subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc. in north Louisiana, for which an electric service agreement has been executed. The filing requests LPSC certification of three new combined cycle combustion turbine generation resources totaling 2,262 MW, each of which will be enabled for future carbon capture and storage, a new 500 kV transmission line, and 500 kV substation upgrades. The application also requests approval to implement a corporate sustainability rider applicable to the new customer. The corporate sustainability rider contemplates the new customer contributing to the costs of the future addition of 1,500 MW of new solar and energy storage resources, agreements involving carbon capture and storage at Entergy Louisiana’s existing Lake Charles Power Station, and potential future wind and nuclear resources. Entergy Louisiana anticipates funding the incremental cost to serve the customer through direct financial contributions from the customer and the revenues it expects to earn under the electric service agreement. The electric service agreement also contains provisions for termination payments that will help ensure that there is no harm to Entergy Louisiana and its customers in the event of early termination. A directive was issued at the LPSC’s November 2024 meeting for the matter to be decided by October 2025. In February 2025 intervenors filed a motion asking the LPSC to deny Entergy Louisiana’s requested exemption from the LPSC’s order addressing competitive solicitation procedures and further asking the LPSC to dismiss the application. The ALJ issued an order denying the motion to dismiss the application and deferring the LPSC’s consideration of the motion regarding the competitive solicitation procedures until the hearing. In March 2025 the same intervenors filed a motion requesting the LPSC to require the customer and its parent company to be joined as parties to the proceeding or dismiss the application. In April 2025 the ALJ issued an order denying the March 2025 motion, and the moving parties filed a motion asking the LPSC to review and reverse the ALJ’s decision. In April 2025 the LPSC staff and intervenors filed direct testimony. The LPSC staff’s testimony discusses the significant projected benefits associated with the data center project and also recommends that the LPSC impose certain conditions on its approval, including a condition that would require, under specified circumstances, certain sharing of net revenues from service to the project with Entergy Louisiana’s other customers. The LPSC staff also recommends that the LPSC deny approval of the corporate sustainability rider terms providing for the customer to supply funding toward the cost of installing carbon capture and storage infrastructure at Entergy Louisiana’s Lake Charles Power Station. The Louisiana Energy Users Group and other intervenors recommended that the LPSC require various changes to the terms of the electric service agreement with the customer that would shift additional risk and cost to the customer rather than Entergy Louisiana’s broader customer base. Certain intervenors also challenged approval on the basis that Entergy Louisiana did not conduct a request for proposals to procure the proposed generation resources to serve the customer’s project; these intervenors also advocate that Entergy Louisiana be required to procure more renewable generation and evaluate transmission alternatives rather than proceeding with development of all of the proposed new generation resources. Entergy Louisiana’s rebuttal testimony is due in May 2025, and a hearing is set for July 2025.
Entergy Louisiana Transmission Projects
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in March 2024, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC seeking an exemption determination, or alternatively, a certificate of public convenience and necessity, for a transmission project that includes a new 500 kV/230 kV Commodore substation and an approximately 60-mile 230 kV line connecting the new Commodore substation to the Waterford substation. In February 2025, Entergy Louisiana and the LPSC staff jointly filed, for consideration by the LPSC, an uncontested stipulated settlement agreement resolving all issues in the proceeding. The LPSC approved the uncontested stipulated settlement agreement in March 2025 and thereby granted certification of the project.
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in December 2024, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC seeking a certificate of public convenience and necessity for a 500 kV transmission project that includes the construction of a new 84-mile Commodore to Churchill 500 kV transmission line, the expansion of the Waterford

Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis
500 kV substation, the construction of a new Churchill 500 kV substation and improvements to the Churchill 230 kV substation, and the conversion of the existing 230 kV Waterford to Churchill transmission line to 500 kV, forming a 500 kV loop into the Downstream of Gypsy load pocket. In April 2025 the LPSC staff and the Louisiana Energy Users Group, an intervenor, filed direct testimony. The LPSC staff’s testimony recommends LPSC approval of the project. The Louisiana Energy Users Group’s testimony opines that Entergy Louisiana has shown that there is a need for additional transmission investment in the West Bank area of Amite South but recommends that the LPSC withhold approval pending further analysis, including analysis of potential lower cost alternatives to the proposed project, and also pending Entergy Louisiana demonstrating that it has contributions in aid of construction from the customers whose block load additions would be enabled by the proposed transmission project in amounts sufficient to substantially, if not fully, cover the revenue requirement of the proposed project. Discovery is ongoing in the proceeding, and a hearing is set for August 2025.
Legend Power Station and Lone Star Power Station
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in June 2024, Entergy Texas filed an application seeking PUCT approval to amend Entergy Texas’s certificate of convenience and necessity to construct, own, and operate the Legend Power Station, a 754 MW combined-cycle combustion turbine facility, which will be enabled for future carbon capture and storage and for hydrogen co-firing optionality, to be located in Jefferson County, Texas, and the Lone Star Power Station, a 453 MW simple-cycle combustion turbine facility, which will be enabled with hydrogen co-firing optionality, to be located in Liberty County, Texas. A hearing on the merits was held in April 2025. Also in April 2025, Entergy Texas, intervenors, and the PUCT staff filed initial briefs. In its initial brief, the PUCT staff recommends denial of Entergy Texas’s application or, in the alternative, approval subject to conditions that include a prudence review by an external consultant if actual project costs exceed estimated costs by more than 10%, transmission cost reporting, and weatherization of both the Legend Power Station and the Lone Star Power Station. Certain intervenors requested that the PUCT impose various conditions upon the approval of the resources, including, among others, cost recovery limitations, a direction that Entergy Texas initiate a competitive tariff proceeding to facilitate industrial sleeving, a requirement for additional regulatory approvals related to hydrogen or carbon capture and storage implementation, limits on the recovery of supplemental filing costs, and calculation of AFUDC based on an adjusted weighted average cost of capital. Reply briefs are due in May 2025. A PUCT decision is expected in third quarter 2025. Subject to receipt of required regulatory approval and other conditions, both facilities are expected to be in service by mid-2028.
SETEX Area Reliability Project
In February 2025, Entergy Texas filed an application seeking PUCT approval to amend Entergy Texas’s certificate of convenience and necessity to construct, own, and operate a new single-circuit 500 kV transmission line and associated stations and 138/230 kV facilities. The transmission line is expected to be approximately 131 to 160 miles in length and the estimated cost of the project ranges from $1.3 billion to $1.5 billion, depending upon the route ultimately approved by the PUCT. Also in February 2025 the PUCT referred the proceeding to the State Office of Administrative Hearings. In March 2025 the ALJs with the State Office of Administrative Hearings adopted a procedural schedule with a hearing on the merits to be held in May 2025. A PUCT decision is expected in third quarter 2025. Subject to receipt of required regulatory approval and other conditions and approvals, construction of the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2029.
Dividends
Declarations of dividends on Entergy Corporation common stock are made at the discretion of the Board. Among other things, the Board evaluates the level of Entergy Corporation common stock dividends based upon earnings per share from the Utility segment and the Parent and Other portion of the business, financial strength, and future investment opportunities. In April 2025, the Board declared a dividend of $0.60 per share.

Operating Activities
Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily d
ue to the timin
g of payments to vendors and the receipt of $108 million in advance payments related to customer agreements. The inc
rease was offset by higher fuel and purchased power payments, an increase of $89 million in interest paid, and the timing of recovery of fuel and purchased power costs.
See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery.
Investing Activities
Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $423 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to:
•
an increase of $502 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending by Entergy Louisiana on new generation resources in north Louisiana, by Entergy Mississippi on the Delta Blues Advanced Power Station project and the Penton Solar project, and by Entergy Texas on the Orange County Advanced Power Station project and the Legend Power Station project;
•
an increase of $144 million in distribution construction expenditures primarily due to increased investment in the resilience of the Utility distribution system and higher capital expenditures for storm restoration in 2025. The increase in storm restoration expenditures is primarily due to Hurricane Francine restoration efforts in 2025;
•
an increase of $83 million in nuclear construction expenditures primarily due to increased spending on various nuclear projects in 2025; and
•
an increase of $64 million in transmission construction expenditures primarily due to increased spending on various transmission projects in 2025.
The increase was partially offset by:
•
the initial payment of approximately $170 million in February 2024 for the purchase of the Walnut Bend Solar facility by Entergy Arkansas;
•
a decrease of $113 million in information technology capital expenditures primarily due to
decreased spending on various technology projects in 2025;
9
Table of Contents
Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries
Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis
•
a decrease of $45 million in nuclear fuel purchases due to variations from year to year in the timing and pricing of fuel reload requirements, materials and services deliveries, and the timing of cash payments during the nuclear fuel cycle; and
•
net receipts from storm reserve escrow accounts of $39 million in 2025 compared to payments to storm reserve escrow accounts of $5 million in 2024.
See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the Walnut Bend Solar facility purchase.
Financing Activities
Net cash flow provided by financing activities decreased $101 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to a decrease of $373 million in net issuances of commercial paper in 2025 as compared to 2024, partially offset by long-term debt activity providing approximately $1,595 million of cash in
2025 compared to providing approximately $1,371 million
of cash in 2024 and an increase of $48 million in advance payments from customers for construction related to transmission, distribution, and generator interconnection agreements. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein and Notes 4 and 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for details of Entergy’s commercial paper program and long-term debt.

Market and Credit Risk Sensitive Instruments
See “
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS –
Market and Credit Risk Sensitive Instruments
” in the Form 10-K for a discussion of market and credit risk sensitive instruments. The following is an update to that discussion.
Some of the agreements to sell the power produced by Entergy’s non-utility operations business contain provisions that require an Entergy subsidiary to provide credit support to secure its obligations under such agreements. The primary form of credit support used to satisfy these requirements is an Entergy Corporation guarantee. Cash and letters of credit are also acceptable forms of credit support. At March 31, 2025, based on power prices at that time, Entergy had no liquidity exposure under the guarantees in place supporting its non-utility operations business transactions and $3 million of posted cash collateral.

New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of new accounting pronouncements. The following is an update to that discussion.
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in March 2024 the SEC issued final rules that require registrants to provide certain climate-related disclosures in annual reports and registration statements in order to enhance and standardize climate-related disclosures for investors. In April 2024 the SEC stayed the final rules, pending judicial review of consolidated challenges to the rules by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. In March 2025, the SEC voted to end its defense of the final rules against parties that have legally challenged the rules. Entergy will continue to monitor developments related to the SEC’s stay of, and subsequent vote to end its defense in litigation of, the rules.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy)
Entergy and the Registrant Subsidiaries are involved in a number of legal, regulatory, and tax proceedings before various courts, regulatory authorities, and governmental agencies in the ordinary course of business. While management is unable to predict with certainty the outcome of such proceedings, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on Entergy’s results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition, except as otherwise discussed in the Form 10-K or in this report. Entergy discusses regulatory proceedings in Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K and herein and discusses tax proceedings in Note 3 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K and Note 10 to the financial statements herein.
Vidalia Purchased Power Agreement
See Note 8 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for information on Entergy Louisiana’s Vidalia purchased power agreement.
Spent Nuclear Fuel Litigation
See Note 8 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for information on Entergy’s spent nuclear fuel litigation. The following is an update to that discussion.
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in October 2024 the U.S. Court of Federal Claims issued a final judgment in the amount of $
7
million in favor of Holtec Palisades, LLC (previously Entergy Nuclear Palisades) and against the DOE in the final round Palisades damages case. Holtec, as the current owner, received payment from the U.S. Treasury in March 2025 and subsequently transferred the $
7
million judgment to Entergy. The effect in 2024 of recording the judgment was a reduction to asset write-offs, impairments, and related charges (credits). The damages awarded included $
4
million related to costs previously recorded as plant and $
3
million related to costs previously recorded as other operation and maintenance expenses.
Nuclear Insurance
See Note 8 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for information on nuclear liability and property insurance associated with Entergy’s nuclear power plants.
Non-Nuclear Property Insurance
See Note 8 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for information on Entergy’s non-nuclear property insurance program.

Grand Gulf-Related Agreements
See Note 8 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for information regarding Grand Gulf-related agreements, including the Unit Power Sales Agreement, the Availability Agreement, and the Reallocation Agreement.
Exclusivity Agreement with Major Vendor
Entergy entered into an exclusivity agreement with a major vendor to manufacture power island equipment (PIE) and combustion turbines (CT) for combustion turbine generator set frames larger than
400
MWs. The agreement guarantees Entergy one manufacturing slot per quarter for the shorter of a five-year period or until Entergy fulfills its minimum commitment. The agreement commits Entergy to a minimum order of
15
sets of PIE and
two
CTs during that time period. The commitments are fully transferable to any of the Utility operating companies, including those not listed below.
The aggregate minimum commitment as allocated by unit among the Utility operating companies is as follows:
PIE
CT

Cancellation or failure to purchase the minimum commitment amounts will result in a charge that will be allocated to the Utility operating company, or companies, that fell short of their original commitment amount. If any of the Utility operating companies included above purchases any PIEs or CTs within the scope of the agreement from another supplier (except as permitted under the agreement), then the vendor has the right to terminate the agreement with respect to such Utility operating company. The Utility operating company would then be obligated to pay 50% of the base price for each PIE or CT not yet ordered.
The agreement does not establish final pricing and delivery dates of purchases that will go towards meeting the commitments under the agreement. Such terms shall be agreed to in separate agreements.

Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities
See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for information regarding regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities in the Utility business presented on the balance sheets of Entergy and the Registrant Subsidiaries. The following are updates to that discussion.
Fuel and purchased power cost recovery
Entergy Arkansas
Energy Cost Recovery Rider
In March 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed its annual redetermination of its energy cost rate pursuant to the energy cost recovery rider, which reflected an increase in the rate from $
0.00882
per kWh to $
0.01333
per kWh. The annual redetermination included a credit related to the remaining balance due to retail customers from the System Energy settlement with the APSC, plus carrying charges and interest. See “
Retail Rate Proceedings
- Filings with the APSC (Entergy Arkansas) -
Retail Rates
- Grand Gulf Credit Rider” below for further discussion. The primary reason for the rate increase is an adjustment to account for projected increases in natural gas prices in 2025. This adjustment is expected to reduce the rate change that will be reflected in its 2026 energy cost rate redetermination. The redetermined rate of $
0.01333
per kWh became effective with the first billing cycle in April 2025 through the normal operation of the tariff.
Entergy Louisiana
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in January 2023 the LPSC staff provided notice of an audit of Entergy Louisiana’s purchased gas adjustment clause filings. The audit includes a review of the reasonableness of charges flowed through Entergy Louisiana’s purchased gas adjustment clause for the period from 2021 through 2022. In April 2025 the LPSC staff issued its audit report (for Entergy Louisiana’s gas operations), which included several prospective recommendations but no financial disallowances. The next procedural step is for the LPSC to review the report; however there is no deadline for completion of the LPSC’s review.
Retail Rate Proceedings
See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for information regarding retail rate proceedings involving the Utility operating companies. The following are updates to that discussion.

Grand Gulf Credit Rider
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in June 2024, Entergy Arkansas filed with the APSC a tariff to provide retail customers a credit resulting from the terms of the settlement agreement between Entergy Arkansas, System Energy, additional named Entergy parties, and the APSC pertaining to System Energy’s billings for wholesale sales of energy and capacity from the Grand Gulf nuclear plant. See
“
Complaints Against System Energy
-
System Energy Settlement with the APSC
” in Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the System Energy settlement with the APSC.
In July 2024 the APSC approved the tariff, under which Entergy Arkansas would refund to retail customers a total of $
100.6
million. Entergy Arkansas refunded $
92.3
million of

the total through one-time bill credits under the Grand Gulf credit rider during the August 2024 billing cycle. In March 2025, Entergy Arkansas included the remaining balance as a credit to retail customers in its energy cost recovery rider rate redetermination filing. See further discussion within "

-

- Energy Cost Recovery Rider" above. In April 2025 the APSC approved Entergy Arkansas’s proposal to include the remaining balance in its energy cost recovery rider effective with the first billing cycle of April 2025 and the withdrawal of the Grand Gulf credit rider after all credits have been issued.

2023 Formula Rate Plan Filing
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in August 2024, pursuant to the global stipulated settlement agreement, Entergy Louisiana filed its formula rate plan evaluation report for its 2023 calendar year operations. Consistent with the global stipulated settlement agreement, the filing reflected a
9.7
% allowed return on common equity with a bandwidth of
40
basis points above and below the midpoint. For the 2023 test year, however, the bandwidth provisions of the formula rate plan are temporarily suspended and, pursuant to the terms of the global stipulated settlement agreement, Entergy Louisiana implemented the September 2024 formula rate plan rate adjustments effective with the first billing cycle of September 2024. In January 2025, Entergy Louisiana and the LPSC filed a joint report indicating that no disputed issues remained in the proceeding and requesting that the LPSC issue an order accepting Entergy Louisiana’s evaluation report and, ultimately, resolving this matter. In March 2025 the LPSC issued an order accepting the evaluation report.
In December 2024, pursuant to the terms of the global stipulated settlement agreement, Entergy Louisiana filed an interim rate adjustment for the 2023 test year reflecting the return of $
25.1
million of refunds from the System Energy settlement with the LPSC to customers from January through August 2025. In February 2025, pursuant to the terms of the global stipulated settlement agreement, Entergy Louisiana filed a second interim rate adjustment for the 2023 test year reflecting the divestiture of Entergy Louisiana’s share of Grand Gulf capacity and energy, which was effective as of January 1, 2025. The second interim rate adjustment also reflected a revenue increase of $
17.8
million for the recovery of Hurricane Francine costs as approved by the LPSC (on an interim basis). The second interim rate adjustment was implemented with the first billing cycle of March 2025. See further discussion of the Hurricane Francine proceeding in “
Storm Cost Recovery Filings with Retail Regulators
–
Entergy Louisiana
– Hurricane Francine” below. See Note 8 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of Entergy Louisiana’s divestiture from the Unit Power Sales Agreement.
Additional Generation and Transmission Resources
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in October 2024, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC seeking approval of a variety of generation and transmission resources proposed in connection with establishing service to a new data center to be developed by a subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc. in north Louisiana, for which an electric service agreement has been executed. The filing requests LPSC certification of three new combined cycle combustion turbine generation resources totaling
2,262
MW, each of which will be enabled for future carbon capture and storage, a new
500
kV transmission line, and
500
kV substation upgrades. The application also requests approval to implement a corporate sustainability rider applicable to the new customer. The corporate sustainability rider contemplates the new customer contributing to the costs of the future addition of
1,500
MW of new solar and energy storage resources, agreements involving carbon capture and storage at Entergy Louisiana’s existing Lake Charles Power Station, and potential future wind and nuclear resources. Entergy Louisiana anticipates funding the incremental cost to serve the customer through direct financial contributions from the customer and the revenues it expects to earn under the electric service agreement. The electric service agreement also contains provisions for termination payments that will help ensure that there is no harm to Entergy Louisiana and its customers in the event

of early termination. A directive was issued at the LPSC’s November 2024 meeting for the matter to be decided by October 2025. In February 2025 intervenors filed a motion asking the LPSC to deny Entergy Louisiana’s requested exemption from the LPSC’s order addressing competitive solicitation procedures and further asking the LPSC to dismiss the application. The ALJ issued an order denying the motion to dismiss the application and deferring the LPSC’s consideration of the motion regarding the competitive solicitation procedures until the hearing. In March 2025 the same intervenors filed a motion requesting the LPSC to require the customer and its parent company to be joined as parties to the proceeding or dismiss the application. In April 2025 the ALJ issued an order denying the March 2025 motion, and the moving parties filed a motion asking the LPSC to review and reverse the ALJ’s decision. In April 2025 the LPSC staff and intervenors filed direct testimony. The LPSC staff’s testimony discusses the significant projected benefits associated with the data center project and also recommends that the LPSC impose certain conditions on its approval, including a condition that would require, under specified circumstances, certain sharing of net revenues from service to the project with Entergy Louisiana’s other customers. The LPSC staff also recommends that the LPSC deny approval of the corporate sustainability rider terms providing for the customer to supply funding toward the cost of installing carbon capture and storage infrastructure at Entergy Louisiana’s Lake Charles Power Station. The Louisiana Energy Users Group and other intervenors recommended that the LPSC require various changes to the terms of the electric service agreement with the customer that would shift additional risk and cost to the customer rather than Entergy Louisiana’s broader customer base. Certain intervenors also challenged approval on the basis that Entergy Louisiana did not conduct a request for proposals to procure the proposed generation resources to serve the customer’s project; these intervenors also advocate that Entergy Louisiana be required to procure more renewable generation and evaluate transmission alternatives rather than proceeding with development of all of the proposed new generation resources. Entergy Louisiana’s rebuttal testimony is due in May 2025, and a hearing is set for July 2025.

2025 Formula Rate Plan Filing
In February 2025, Entergy Mississippi submitted its formula rate plan 2025 test year filing and 2024 look-back filing showing Entergy Mississippi’s earned return on rate base for the historical 2024 calendar year to be within the formula rate plan bandwidth and projected earned return for the 2025 calendar year to also be within the formula rate plan bandwidth. The 2025 test year filing resulted in an earned return on rate base of
7.64
% and reflected
no
change in formula rate plan revenues. The 2024 look-back filing compared actual 2024 results to the approved benchmark return on rate base and reflected no change in formula rate plan revenues, although Entergy Mississippi proposes to adjust interim rates by $
135
thousand to reflect two outside-the-bandwidth changes: (1) the completion of Entergy Mississippi’s return to customers of credits under its restructuring credit rider; and (2) a true-up of demand side management costs. A final order is expected in second quarter 2025.

In May 2024, Entergy Mississippi received approval from the MPSC for formula rate plan revisions that were necessary for Entergy Mississippi to comply with state legislation passed in January 2024. The legislation allows Entergy Mississippi to make interim rate adjustments to recover the non-fuel related annual ownership cost of certain facilities that directly or indirectly provide service to customers who own certain data processing center projects as specified in the legislation. Entergy Mississippi filed the first of its annual interim facilities rate adjustment reports in May 2024 to recover approximately $
8.7
million of these costs over a six-month period with rates effective beginning in July 2024. Entergy Mississippi filed its second interim facilities rate adjustment report in November 2024 to recover approximately $
46.7
million of these costs over a 12-month period with rates effective beginning in January 2025. In February 2025, Entergy Mississippi filed a true-up interim facilities rate adjustment report to the initial annual interim facilities rate adjustment report filed in May 2024, reflecting the recovery of an

additional approximately $
1.0

Filings with the City Council (Entergy New Orleans)
Retail Rates
2025 Formula Rate Plan Filing
In April 2025, Entergy New Orleans submitted to the City Council its formula rate plan 2024 test year filing. The 2024 evaluation report produced an electric earned return on equity of
10.98
% and a gas earned return on equity of
8.96
% compared to the authorized return on equity for each of
9.35
%. Without adjustments, this would result in a decrease in electric rates of $
13.8
million and
no
change in gas rates. The decrease in electric rates is driven by the realignment of regulatory liabilities into the formula from a separate rate mechanism, partially offset by the cost of known and measurable electric capital additions. The filing also commences the previously authorized recovery of certain regulatory costs and requests a revenue-neutral recovery to offset a proposed reduction in bill payment late fees. Taking into account these proposed adjustments, the filing presents a decrease in authorized electric revenues of $
8.6
million and an increase in authorized gas revenues of $
0.5
million. The filing is subject to a 75-day review period, followed by a 25-day period to resolve any disputes among the parties. For any disputed rate adjustments, however, the City Council would set a procedural schedule to resolve. Resulting rates will be effective with the first billing cycle of September 2025 pursuant to the formula rate plan tariff.
Filings with the PUCT and Texas Cities (Entergy Texas)
Retail Rates
Distribution Cost Recovery Factor (DCRF) Rider
In April 2025, Entergy Texas filed with the PUCT a request to amend its DCRF rider. The proposed rider is designed to collect from Entergy Texas’s retail customers approximately $
77.8
million annually, or $
29.3
million in incremental annual revenues beyond Entergy Texas’s currently effective DCRF rider based on its capital invested in distribution between July 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, including distribution-related restoration costs associated with Hurricane Beryl.
Transmission Cost Recovery Factor (TCRF) Rider
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in October 2024, Entergy Texas filed with the PUCT a request to amend its TCRF rider, which was previously reset to zero in June 2023 as a result of the 2022 base rate case. The amended rider was designed to collect from Entergy Texas’s retail customers approximately $
9.7
million annually based on its capital invested in transmission between January 1, 2022 and June 30, 2024 and changes in other transmission charges. In April 2025 the PUCT approved the TCRF rider, consistent with Entergy Texas’s as-filed request, and rates became effective for usage on and after April 7, 2025.
Entergy Arkansas Opportunity Sales Proceeding
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in September 2020, Entergy Arkansas filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas challenging the APSC’s denial of recovery of $
135
million of payments to other Utility operating companies in December 2018 relating to off-system sales of electricity from 2002-2009, as ordered by the FERC. The complaint also involved a challenge to the $
13.7
million, plus interest, of related refunds ordered by the APSC and paid by Entergy Arkansas in August 2020. The trial was held in February 2023.

In March 2024 the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas issued a judgment in favor of the APSC and against Entergy Arkansas. In March 2024 Entergy Arkansas filed a notice of appeal and a motion to expedite oral arguments with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and the court granted the motion to expedite. As a result of the adverse decision by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, Entergy Arkansas concluded that it could no longer support the recognition of its $
131.8
million regulatory asset reflecting the previously-expected recovery of a portion of the costs at issue in the opportunity sales proceeding and recorded a $
131.8
million ($
99.1
million net-of-tax) charge to earnings in first quarter 2024. In December 2024 the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit affirmed the decision of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, and Entergy Arkansas filed a petition for rehearing en banc. In January 2025 the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit denied Entergy Arkansas’s petition. In April 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed a petition for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court.
MSS-4 Replacement Tariff - Net Operating Loss Carryforward Proceeding
See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the MSS-4 replacement tariff net operating loss carryforward proceeding.
The MSS-4 replacement tariff,
a tariff governing the sales of energy and capacity among the Utility operating companies,
includes protocols that provide for the disclosure of cost inputs, an opportunity for informal discovery procedures, and a challenge process.
In April 2025, pursuant to such protocols, the City Council filed with the FERC a formal challenge relating to Entergy Services’ inclusion and allocation of net operating loss carryforward accumulated deferred income taxes in the MSS-4 replacement tariff rates charged to Entergy New Orleans’s monthly bills for calendar year 2023. Entergy Services plans to file a response to the formal challenge by the May 2025 deadline.
Complaints Against System Energy
See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for information regarding pending complaints against System Energy and the settlements approved by the FERC that resolved all significant aspects of these complaints.
The following is an update to that discussion.
Grand Gulf Sale-leaseback Renewal Complaint and Uncertain Tax Position Rate Base Issue
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in February 2023, System Energy submitted a tariff compliance filing with the FERC to clarify that, consistent with the releases provided in the June 2022 MPSC settlement, Entergy Mississippi would continue to be charged for its allocation of the sale-leaseback renewal costs under the Unit Power Sales Agreement. In March 2023 the MPSC filed a protest to System Energy’s tariff compliance filing. The MPSC argued that the settlement did not specifically address post-settlement sale-leaseback renewal costs and that the sale-leaseback renewal costs may not be recovered under the Unit Power Sales Agreement.
In February 2025, System Energy and the MPSC resolved their dispute concerning the sale-leaseback renewal costs. As a result, the MPSC withdrew its protest at the FERC on System Energy’s tariff compliance filing. Entergy Mississippi will continue to pay the allocated sale-leaseback renewal costs of approximately $
5.7
million annually and there are no refunds due for prior periods. In March 2025, System Energy filed a status report with the FERC explaining that the dispute is resolved.

Storm Cost Recovery Filings with Retail Regulators
See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion regarding storm cost recovery filings. The following is an update to that discussion.
Entergy Louisiana
Hurricane Francine
In September 2024, Hurricane Francine caused damage to the areas served by Entergy Louisiana. The storm resulted in widespread power outages, primarily due to damage to distribution infrastructure as a result of strong winds and heavy rain, and the loss of sales during the power outages.
In December 2024, and subsequently amended in an errata filed in February 2025, Entergy Louisiana submitted an application to the LPSC seeking a determination that approximately $
183.6
million in storm restoration costs associated with Hurricane Francine were reasonable and necessary and, therefore, eligible for recovery from customers, as well as approval to recover approximately $
3.6
million in certain carrying costs from customers. In February 2025, Entergy Louisiana filed a second interim rate adjustment for the 2023 test year reflecting a revenue increase of $
17.8
million from funds approved by the LPSC (on an interim basis) for Hurricane Francine recovery costs. The second interim rate adjustment was implemented with the first billing cycle of March 2025. See further discussion of the 2023 formula rate plan filing above. Also in February 2025, Entergy Louisiana withdrew $
33.5
million from its funded storm reserves. In March 2025 a status conference was held in which a procedural schedule was established including a hearing in November 2025.

Equity Forward Sale Agreements
In March 2025, Entergy marketed an equity offering of
17.8
million shares of Entergy Corporation common stock. In lieu of issuing equity at the time of the offering, Entergy entered into forward sale agreements with several forward counterparties. No amounts have been or will be recorded on Entergy’s balance sheet with respect to the equity offering until settlements of the forward sale agreements occur. The forward sale agreements require Entergy to, at its election on or prior to September 30, 2026, either (1) physically settle the transactions by issuing the total of
17.8
million shares of its common stock to the forward counterparties in exchange for net proceeds at the then-applicable forward sale price specified by the agreements (initially $
81.87
per share) or (2) net settle the transactions in whole or in part through the delivery or receipt of cash or shares. The forward sale price is subject to adjustment on a daily basis based on a floating interest rate factor and will decrease by other fixed amounts specified in the agreements.
Until settlement of the forward sale agreements, earnings per share dilution resulting from the agreements, if any, will be determined under the treasury stock method. Share dilution occurs when the average market price of Entergy’s common stock is higher than the average forward sales price.
If Entergy had elected to net share settle the forward sale agreements as of March 31, 2025, Entergy would have been required to deliver
0.7
million shares.

The short-term borrowings of the Registrant Subsidiaries are limited to amounts authorized by the FERC. Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy have FERC-authorized short-term borrowing limits effective through January 2027. In addition to borrowings from commercial banks, these companies may also borrow from the Entergy system money pool and from other internal short-term borrowing arrangements. The money pool is an intercompany cash management program that makes possible intercompany borrowing and lending arrangements, and the money pool and the other internal borrowing arrangements are designed to reduce the Registrant Subsidiaries’ dependence on external short-term borrowings. Borrowings from internal and external short-term borrowings combined may not exceed the FERC-authorized limits.
The following are the FERC-authorized limits for short-term borrowings and the outstanding short-term borrowings as of March 31, 2025 (aggregating both internal and external short-term borrowings) for the Registrant Subsidiaries:

upon vesting, and are expensed ratably over the three-year vesting period. One-third of the restricted stock awards and accrued dividends will vest upon each anniversary of the grant date.
The performance units represent the value of, and are settled with, one share of Entergy Corporation common stock at the end of the three-year performance period, plus dividends accrued during the performance period on the number of performance units earned. To emphasize the importance of environmental stewardship, specifically of carbon-free generation and resilience, an environmental achievement measure was selected as one of the performance measures for the 2025-2027 performance period. For the 2025-2027 performance period, performance will be measured based
eighty
percent on relative total shareholder return and
twenty
percent on the environmental achievement measure. The performance units were granted on February 6, 2025 and
eighty
percent were valued at $
115.13
per share based on various factors, primarily market conditions; and
twenty
percent were valued at $
82.79
per share, the closing price of Entergy Corporation’s common stock on the grant date. Performance units have the same dividend and voting rights as other common stock, are considered issued and outstanding shares of Entergy upon vesting, and are expensed ratably over the three-year vesting period, and compensation cost for the portion of the award based on the selected environmental achievement measure will be adjusted based on the number of units that ultimately vest. See Note 12 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a description of the Long-Term Performance Unit Program.

Eliminations are primarily intersegment activity. All of Entergy’s goodwill is related to the Utility segment.
Registrant Subsidiaries
Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, and Entergy Texas each has one operating and reportable segment, an integrated utility business which includes the generation, transmission, and distribution of electric power; and operation of a small natural gas distribution business at each of Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans. System Energy has one operating and reportable segment, which is an electricity generation business. Each of the Registrant Subsidiaries’ operations are 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. All segment financial information for the Registrant Subsidiaries is as reported on the respective financial statements for each of the Registrant Subsidiaries.
NOTE 8.
RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES (Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy)
Market Risk
In the normal course of business, Entergy is exposed to a number of market risks. Market risk is the potential loss that Entergy may incur as a result of changes in the market or fair value of a particular commodity or instrument. All financial and commodity-related instruments, including derivatives, are subject to market risk
42
Table of Contents
Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Financial Statements
including commodity price risk, equity price, and interest rate risk. Entergy uses derivatives primarily to mitigate commodity price risk associated with the price of fuel.
The Utility has limited exposure to the effects of market risk because it operates primarily under cost-based rate regulation. To the extent approved by their retail regulators, the Utility operating companies use commodity and financial instruments to hedge the exposure to price volatility inherent in their purchased power, fuel, and gas purchased for resale costs, that are recovered from customers.
Derivatives
Entergy designates a significant portion of its derivative instruments as normal purchase/normal sale transactions due to their physical settlement provisions, including power purchase and sales agreements, fuel purchase agreements, and capacity contracts. Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for designation as normal purchase/normal sale transactions due to their financial settlement provisions. See further discussion below regarding the accounting for these derivative instruments.
Entergy manages fuel price volatility for its Louisiana jurisdictions (Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans) and Entergy Mississippi through the purchase of natural gas swaps that financially settle against either the average Henry Hub Gas Daily prices or the NYMEX Henry Hub. These swaps are marked-to-market through fuel expense with offsetting regulatory assets or liabilities. All benefits or costs of the program are recorded in fuel costs. The notional volumes of these swaps are based on a portion of projected annual exposure to gas price volatility for electric generation at Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Mississippi and projected winter purchases for gas distribution at Entergy New Orleans. The maximum length of time over which Entergy has executed natural gas swaps as of March 31, 2025 is
7
months for Entergy Mississippi. The total volume of natural gas swaps outstanding as of March 31, 2025 is
12,246,850
MMBtu for Entergy and Entergy Mississippi. As of March 31, 2025, Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans had
no
outstanding natural gas swaps. Credit support for these natural gas swaps is covered by master agreements that do not require Entergy to provide collateral based on mark-to-market value, but do carry adequate assurance language that may lead to requests for collateral.
During the second quarter 2024, Entergy participated in the annual financial transmission rights auction process for the MISO planning year of June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2025. Financial transmission rights are derivative instruments that represent economic hedges of future congestion charges that will be incurred in serving Entergy’s customer load. They are not designated as hedging instruments. Entergy initially records financial transmission rights at their estimated fair value and subsequently adjusts the carrying value to their estimated fair value at the end of each accounting period prior to settlement. Unrealized gains or losses on financial transmission rights held by the non-utility operations are included in operating revenues. The Utility operating companies recognize regulatory liabilities or assets for unrealized gains or losses on financial transmission rights. The total volume of financial transmission rights outstanding as of March 31, 2025 is
24,226
GWh for Entergy, including
5,865
GWh for Entergy Arkansas,
10,036
GWh for Entergy Louisiana,
3,781
GWh for Entergy Mississippi,
1,001
GWh for Entergy New Orleans, and
3,501
GWh for Entergy Texas. Credit support for financial transmission rights held by the Utility operating companies is covered by cash and/or letters of credit issued by each Utility operating company as required by MISO. Credit support for financial transmission rights held by Entergy’s non-utility operations business is covered by cash.
No
cash or letters of credit were required to be posted for financial transmission rights exposure for the non-utility operations business as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
No
letters of credit were posted with MISO to cover financial transmission rights exposure as of March 31, 2025. Letters of credit posted with MISO covered the financial transmission rights exposure for Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, and Entergy Texas as of December 31, 2024.

Due to regulatory treatment, the natural gas swaps are marked-to-market through fuel, fuel-related expenses, and gas purchased for resale and then such amounts are simultaneously reversed and recorded as an offsetting regulatory asset or liability. The gains or losses recorded as fuel expenses when the swaps are settled are recovered or refunded through fuel cost recovery mechanisms.
(b)
Due to regulatory treatment, the changes in the estimated fair value of financial transmission rights for the Utility operating companies are recorded through purchased power expense and then such amounts are simultaneously reversed and recorded as an offsetting regulatory asset or liability. The gains or losses recorded as purchased power expense when the financial transmission rights for the Utility operating companies are settled are recovered or refunded through fuel cost recovery mechanisms.
Fair Values
The estimated fair values of Entergy’s financial instruments and derivatives are determined using historical prices, bid prices, market quotes, and financial modeling. Considerable judgment is required in developing the estimates of fair value. Therefore, estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that Entergy could realize in a current market exchange. Gains or losses realized on financial instruments are reflected in future rates and therefore do not affect net income. Entergy considers the carrying amounts of most financial instruments classified as current assets and liabilities to be a reasonable estimate of their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Accounting standards define fair value as an exit price, or the price that would be received to sell an asset or the amount that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between knowledgeable market
47
Table of Contents
Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Financial Statements
participants at the date of measurement. Entergy and the Registrant Subsidiaries use assumptions or market input data that market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities at fair value. The inputs can be readily observable, corroborated by market data, or generally unobservable. Entergy and the Registrant Subsidiaries endeavor to use the best available information to determine fair value.
Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy establishes the highest priority for unadjusted market quotes in an active market for the identical asset or liability and the lowest priority for unobservable inputs.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
•
Level 1 - Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of individually owned common stocks, cash equivalents (temporary cash investments, securitization recovery trust account, and escrow accounts), debt instruments, and gas swaps traded on exchanges with active markets. Cash equivalents includes all unrestricted highly liquid debt instruments with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.
•
Level 2 - Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are, either directly or indirectly, observable for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Assets are valued based on prices derived by independent third parties that use inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, and issuer spreads. Prices are reviewed and can be challenged with the independent parties and/or overridden by Entergy if it is believed such would be more reflective of fair value. Level 2 inputs include the following:
–
quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
–
quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
–
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or
–
inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 2 consists primarily of individually-owned debt instruments and gas swaps valued using observable inputs.
•
Level 3 - Level 3 inputs are pricing inputs that are generally less observable or unobservable from objective sources. These inputs are used with internally developed methodologies to produce management’s best estimate of fair value for the asset or liability. Level 3 consists primarily of financial transmission rights.
The values of financial transmission rights are based on unobservable inputs, including estimates of congestion costs in MISO between applicable generation and load pricing nodes based on the 50th percentile of historical prices. They are classified as Level 3 assets and liabilities. The valuations of these assets and liabilities are performed by the Office of Corporate Risk Oversight. The values are calculated internally and verified against the data published by MISO. Entergy’s Accounting group reviews these valuations for reasonableness, with the assistance of others within the organization with knowledge of the various inputs and assumptions used in the valuation. The Office of Corporate Risk Oversight reports to the Vice President and Treasurer. The Accounting group reports to the Chief Accounting Officer.
The following tables set forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, Entergy’s assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The assessment

Common trust funds are not publicly quoted and are valued by the fund administrators using net asset value as a practical expedient. Accordingly, these funds are not assigned a level in the fair value table. The fund administrator of these investments allows daily trading at the net asset value and trades settle at a later date.

NOTE 9.
DECOMMISSIONING TRUST FUNDS (Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, and System Energy)
The NRC requires certain of the Utility operating companies and System Energy to maintain nuclear decommissioning trusts to fund the costs of decommissioning ANO 1 and 2, River Bend, Waterford 3, and Grand Gulf. Entergy’s nuclear decommissioning trust funds invest in equity securities, fixed-rate debt securities, and cash and cash equivalents.
Entergy records decommissioning trust funds on the balance sheet at their fair value. Because of the ability of the Registrant Subsidiaries to recover decommissioning costs in rates and in accordance with the regulatory treatment for decommissioning trust funds, for unrealized gains/(losses) on investment securities, the Registrant Subsidiaries record an offsetting amount in other regulatory liabilities/assets. For the
30
% interest in River Bend formerly owned by Cajun, Entergy Louisiana records an offsetting amount in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets of Entergy and Entergy Louisiana for the unrealized trust earnings not currently expected to be needed to decommission the plant. Generally, Entergy records gains and losses on its debt and equity securities using the specific identification method to determine the cost basis of its securities.
The unrealized gains/(losses) recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 on equity securities still held as of March 31, 2025 were $
190
million. The equity securities are generally held in funds that are designed to approximate or somewhat exceed the return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. A relatively small percentage of the equity securities are held in funds that are designed to approximate or somewhat exceed the return of the Wilshire 4500 Index. The debt securities are generally held in individual government and credit issuances.

(a)
Sales for resale includes day-ahead sales of energy in a market administered by an ISO. These sales represent financially binding commitments for the sale of physical energy the next day. These sales are adjusted to actual power generated and delivered in the real time market. Given the short duration of these transactions, Entergy does not consider them to be derivatives subject to fair value adjustments and includes them as part of customer revenues.
(b)
Other electric revenues consist primarily of transmission and ancillary services provided to participants of an ISO-administered market, unbilled revenue, and certain customer credits as directed by regulators.
(c)
Other Utility revenues include the occasional sales of inventory, alternative revenue programs, provisions for revenue subject to refund, and late fees.
(d)
Other revenues include the sale of electric power and capacity to wholesale customers, day-ahead sales of energy in a market administered by an ISO, and operation and management services fees.

See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for information regarding the planned sale of the Entergy New Orleans and Entergy Louisiana natural gas distribution businesses. The following are updates to that discussion.
Natural Gas Distribution Businesses
On October 28, 2023, Entergy New Orleans and Entergy Louisiana each entered into separate purchase and sale agreements with respect to the sale of their respective regulated natural gas local distribution company businesses to two separate affiliates of Bernhard Capital Partners Management LP. Under the purchase and sale agreements, Entergy New Orleans has agreed to sell its regulated natural gas local distribution company business serving customers in the Parish of Orleans, Louisiana, and Entergy Louisiana has agreed to sell its regulated natural gas local distribution company business serving customers in the Parish of East Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution businesses are reflected in Entergy’s Utility reportable segment and in the respective single reportable segment for each of Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans.

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Financial Statements
Required regulatory approval was received from the LPSC and the City Council in August 2024 and December 2024, respectively. In February 2025 the Metropolitan Council of the Parish of East Baton Rouge approved the proposed sale of the Entergy Louisiana natural gas distribution business and also approved the assignment of the parish franchise from Entergy Louisiana to Delta Capital Gas Company, LLC (a Bernhard Capital Partners Management LP affiliate).
The transactions have two phases: (1) an “Initial Phase” prior to regulatory approvals in connection with both transactions; and (2) a “Second Phase” following regulatory approvals in connection with both transactions to the extent that certain conditions are satisfied or, where permissible, waived for both transactions. As described above, the transactions have received all required regulatory approvals, and the Second Phase commenced on March 5, 2025.
Under the purchase and sale agreements, the closing of the transactions is not required to occur earlier than six months following the initiation of the Second Phase; however, the parties may agree to close prior to that date. The purchase and sale agreements may be terminated by either party in the event the closing has not occurred prior to October 28, 2025. Neither transaction is subject to a financing condition for the applicable buyer.

________________
In the opinion of the management of Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals and reclassification of previously reported amounts to conform to current classifications) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Entergy’s business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, however, with peak periods occurring typically during the first and third quarters. The results for the interim periods presented should not be used as a basis for estimating results of operations for a full year.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2025, evaluations were performed under the supervision and with the participation of Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy (each individually a “Registrant” and collectively the “Registrants”) management, including their respective Principal Executive Officers (PEO) and Principal Financial Officers (PFO). The evaluations assessed the effectiveness of the Registrants’ disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluations, each PEO and PFO has concluded that, as to the Registrant or Registrants for which they serve as PEO or PFO, the Registrant’s or Registrants’ disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by each Registrant in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms; and that the Registrant’s or Registrants’ disclosure controls and procedures are also effective in reasonably assuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s or Registrants’ management, including their respective PEOs and PFOs, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Under the supervision and with the participation of each Registrant’s management, including its respective PEO and PFO, each Registrant evaluated changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and found no change that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

ENTERGY ARKANSAS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
Net Income
Entergy Arkansas had net income of $86.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to a net loss of $32.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to a $131.8 million ($99.1 million net-of-tax) charge to reflect the write-off of a previously recorded regulatory asset as a result of an adverse decision in the opportunity sales proceeding in March 2024.
Also contributing to the net income were
higher volume/weather and higher retail electric price, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expenses and higher interest expense. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for discussion of the opportunity sales proceeding.
Operating Revenues
Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the three months ended March 31, 2024:
Amount
(In Millions)
2024 operating revenues
$622.0
Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income
(59.6)
Retail electric price
16.2
Volume/weather
34.9
2025 operating revenues
$613.5
Entergy Arkansas’s results include revenues from rate mechanisms designed to recover fuel, purchased power, and other costs such that the revenues and expenses associated with these items generally offset and do not affect net income. “Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income” includes the revenue variance associated with these items.
The retail electric price variance is primarily due to an increase in formula rate plan rates effective January 2025. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the 2024 formula rate plan filing.
The volume/weather variance is primarily due to an increase in industrial usage and the effect of more favorable weather on residential sales.
The increase in industrial usage is primarily due to an increase in demand from large industrial customers, primarily in the primary metals and technology industries, and an increase in demand from small industrial customers.

Other Income Statement Variances
Fuel, fuel-related expenses, and gas purchased for resale includes a credit of $9 million, recorded in first quarter 2024, for costs related to net metering. The costs were incurred in 2023 and included within Entergy Arkansas’s annual redetermination of its energy cost recovery rider filed in March 2024 due to a change in law in the state of Arkansas. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the March 2024 energy cost recovery rider filing.
Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease of $4.1 million in power delivery expenses primarily due to lower scope of work performed in 2025 as compared to 2024 and
contract costs of $2.9 million, in first quarter 2024, related to operational performance, customer service, and organizational health initiatives.
Asset write-offs includes a $131.8 million charge to reflect the write-off of a previously recorded regulatory asset as a result of an adverse decision in the opportunity sales proceeding in March 2024. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for discussion of the opportunity sales proceeding.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased primarily due to additions to plant in service, including the Walnut Bend Solar facility, which was placed in service in September 2024, and the West Memphis Solar facility and the Driver Solar facility, which were placed in service in December 2024.
Entergy Arkansas records a regulatory charge or credit for the difference between asset retirement obligation-related expenses and nuclear decommissioning trust earnings plus asset retirement obligation-related costs collected in revenue.
Other income decreased primarily due to changes in decommissioning trust fund activity, including portfolio rebalancing of decommissioning trust funds in first quarter 2024.
Interest expense increased primarily due to the issuances of $400 million of 5.75% Series mortgage bonds and $400 million of 5.45% Series mortgage bonds, each in May 2024. The increase was partially offset by the repayment of $375 million of 3.70% Series mortgage bonds in June 2024.

Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 21% for the first quarter 2025. The accrual for state income taxes was offset by certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items and the amortization of excess state accumulated deferred income taxes as a result of tax rate changes
.
The effective income tax rate was 24.8% for the first quarter 2024. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2024 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items and the accrual for state income taxes, partially offset by the amortization of state accumulated deferred income taxes as a result of tax rate changes.

Operating Activities
Net cash flow provided by operating activities decreased $30.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to:
•
the timing of recovery of fuel and purchased power costs. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery;
•
lower collections from customers; and
•
higher fuel and purchased power payments.
Investing Activities
Net cash flow used in investing activities decreased $210.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to:
•
the initial payment of approximately $169.7 million in February 2024 for the purchase of the Walnut Bend Solar facility;
69
Table of Contents
Entergy Arkansas, LLC and Subsidiaries
Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis
•
a decrease of $27.5 million in information technology capital expenditures primarily due to decreased spending on various technology projects in 2025;
•
a decrease of $27.4 million in transmission construction expenditures primarily due to decreased spending on various transmission projects in 2025; and
•
net proceeds of $12.3 million in 2025 compared to net purchases of $11.2 million in 2024 as a result of fluctuations in nuclear fuel activity due to variations from year to year in the timing and pricing of fuel reload requirements, materials and services deliveries, and the timing of cash payments during the nuclear fuel cycle.
The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $21.3 million in distribution construction expenditures primarily due to
higher capital expenditures for storm restoration in 2025 and an increase of $11.7 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to a higher scope of work during plant outages performed in 2025 as compared to 2024.
See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the Walnut Bend Solar facility purchase.
Financing Activities
Entergy Arkansas’s financing activities used $45.8 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to providing $126.1 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2024
primarily due to the following activity:
•
a capital contribution of approximately $275 million received from Entergy Corporation in 2024 in anticipation of upcoming expenditures, including the acquisition of the Walnut Bend Solar facility;
•
the issuance of $70 million of 5.54% Series O notes by the Entergy Arkansas nuclear fuel company variable interest entity in March 2024;
•
a decrease in net repayments of $53.1 million on the nuclear fuel company variable interest entity’s credit facility; and
•
money pool activity.
Decreases in Entergy Arkansas’s payable to the money pool are a use of cash flow, and Entergy Arkansas’s payable to the money pool decreased $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to decreasing by $145.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The money pool is an intercompany cash management program that makes possible intercompany borrowing and lending arrangements, and the money pool and other borrowing arrangements are designed to reduce the Registrant Subsidiaries’ dependence on external short-term borrowings.
See Note 4 to the financial statements herein and Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for more details on long-term debt.

capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. Entergy Arkansas uses the debt to capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy Arkansas’s financial condition. The net debt to net capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure. Entergy Arkansas also uses the net debt to net capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy Arkansas’s financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy Arkansas’s outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.
Uses and Sources of Capital
See “
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS -
Liquidity and Capital Resources
”
in the Form 10-K for a discussion of Entergy Arkansas’s uses and sources of capital. The following are updates to the information provided in the Form 10-K.
Recent announcements of changes to international trade policy and tariffs and further similar changes may impact Entergy Arkansas’s business, operations, results of operations, and liquidity and capital resources. Potential impacts may include increases in costs associated with Entergy Arkansas’s capital investments or operations and maintenance expenses; operational impacts, such as supply chain, manufacturing or raw materials sourcing disruptions which may affect Entergy Arkansas’s ability to make planned capital investments as and when expected and needed; legal uncertainties, such as potential legal or other challenges to presidential tariff authority; or broader economic risks, including shifting customer demand, impacts on customer investment decisions, and volatile or uncertain credit and capital markets, which may affect Entergy Arkansas’s ability to access needed capital. The nature and extent of any such effects will depend on, among other things, the specifics of the changes that are ultimately implemented both domestically and internationally, the responses of vendors, suppliers, and other counterparties to those changes, indirect effects on the price and availability of non-tariffed goods, and the effectiveness of mitigation measures.

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in November 2024, Entergy Arkansas filed an application with the APSC seeking a certificate of environmental compatibility and public need for the construction and operation of Lake Catherine Unit 5, a 446 MW hydrogen-capable simple-cycle natural gas combustion turbine facility to be located at the existing Lake Catherine facility site in Hot Spring County, Arkansas. In December 2024 other parties, including the APSC general staff, filed testimony opposing the resource, although the APSC general staff recognized the capacity need for the resource. Entergy Arkansas filed testimony in January 2025 further supporting its application, and in February 2025 the opposing parties filed responsive rebuttal testimony continuing to dispute the estimated costs and to dispute that Entergy Arkansas performed a market solicitation sufficient to demonstrate that this resource is the most reasonable option for customers. Also in February 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed surrebuttal testimony responding to the opposing parties’ testimony. A hearing was held in March 2025, and in April 2025 the APSC issued an order approving certification of the facility. The order also provided a presumption of prudence finding with respect to a benchmark project cost, which excluded AFUDC and contingency among other items. Entergy Arkansas will have the opportunity to later present all actual costs to the APSC for review for a prudence determination, including any costs incremental to the benchmark. Entergy Arkansas is evaluating potential responses to the APSC order. Subject to receipt of required regulatory approval and other conditions, the facility is expected to be in service by the end of 2028.
State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery
See “
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS –
State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery
”
in the Form 10-K for a discussion of state and local rate regulation and fuel-cost recovery. The following are updates to that discussion.
Retail Rates
Grand Gulf Credit Rider
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in June 2024, Entergy Arkansas filed with the APSC a tariff to provide retail customers a credit resulting from the terms of the settlement agreement between Entergy Arkansas, System Energy, additional named Entergy parties, and the APSC pertaining to System Energy’s billings for wholesale sales of energy and capacity from the Grand Gulf nuclear plant. See
“
Complaints Against System Energy
-
System Energy Settlement with the APSC
” in Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the System Energy settlement with the APSC.
In July 2024 the APSC approved the tariff, under which Entergy Arkansas would refund to retail customers a total of $100.6 million. Entergy Arkansas refunded $92.3 million of the total through one-time bill credits under the Grand Gulf credit rider during the August 2024 billing cycle. In March 2025, Entergy Arkansas included the remaining balance as a credit to retail customers in its energy cost recovery rider rate redetermination filing. See further discussion within “
Energy Cost Recovery Rider
” below. In April 2025 the APSC approved Entergy Arkansas’s proposal to include the remaining balance in its energy cost recovery rider effective with the first billing cycle of April 2025 and the withdrawal of the Grand Gulf credit rider after all credits have been issued.
Energy Cost Recovery Rider
In March 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed its annual redetermination of its energy cost rate pursuant to the energy cost recovery rider, which reflected an increase in the rate from $0.00882 per kWh to $0.01333 per kWh. The annual redetermination included a credit related to the remaining balance due to retail customers from the System Energy settlement with the APSC, plus carrying charges and interest. See “
Retail Rates -
Grand Gulf Credit Rider
” above for further discussion. The primary reason for the rate increase is an adjustment to account for projected increases in natural gas prices in 2025. This adjustment is expected to reduce the rate change that will be

reflected in its 2026 energy cost rate redetermination. The redetermined rate of $0.01333 per kWh became effective with the first billing cycle in April 2025 through the normal operation of the tariff.
Opportunity Sales Proceeding
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in September 2020, Entergy Arkansas filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas challenging the APSC’s denial of recovery of $135 million of payments to other Utility operating companies in December 2018 relating to off-system sales of electricity from 2002-2009, as ordered by the FERC. The complaint also involved a challenge to the $13.7 million, plus interest, of related refunds ordered by the APSC and paid by Entergy Arkansas in August 2020. The trial was held in February 2023.
In March 2024 the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas issued a judgment in favor of the APSC and against Entergy Arkansas. In March 2024 Entergy Arkansas filed a notice of appeal and a motion to expedite oral arguments with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and the court granted the motion to expedite. As a result of the adverse decision by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, Entergy Arkansas concluded that it could no longer support the recognition of its $131.8 million regulatory asset reflecting the previously-expected recovery of a portion of the costs at issue in the opportunity sales proceeding and recorded a $131.8 million ($99.1 million net-of-tax) charge to earnings in first quarter 2024. In December 2024 the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit affirmed the decision of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, and Entergy Arkansas filed a petition for rehearing en banc. In January 2025 the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit denied Entergy Arkansas’s petition. In April 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed a petition for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court.
Generating Arkansas Jobs Act of 2025
In March 2025 the State of Arkansas passed the Generating Arkansas Jobs Act of 2025, now Act 373 (Act 373), that authorizes the recovery of financing costs during construction of generation and transmission investments through a rider separate from the formula rate plan. Act 373 also permits cost recovery of those investments when completed and in service, either through the next general rate case proceeding or under the formula rate plan. Act 373 streamlines and simplifies the regulatory approval process and provides increased timeliness and certainty of cost recovery.

ENTERGY LOUISIANA, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
Net Income
Net income increased $71.5 million prima
rily due to higher volume/weather and higher other income, partially offset by higher interest expense and higher depreciation and amortization expense.
Operating Revenues
Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the first quarter 2025 to the first quarter 2024:
Amount
(In Millions)
2024 operating revenues
$1,202.4
Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income
43.3
Volume/weather
33.3
Retail electric price
22.5
2025 operating revenues
$1,301.5
Entergy Louisiana’s results include revenues from rate mechanisms designed to recover fuel, purchased power, and other costs such that the revenues and expenses associated with these items generally offset and do not affect net income. “Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income” includes the revenue variance associated with these items.
The volume/weather variance is primarily due to the effect of more favorable weather on residential sales and an increase in industrial usage. The increase in industrial usage is primarily due to an increase in demand from large industrial customers, primarily in the petroleum refining and chlor-alkali industries.
The retail electric price variance is primarily due to
an increase in formula rate plan revenues, including an increase in the distribution recovery mechanism, effective September 2024, partially offset by decreases in formula rate plan revenues due to interim formula rate plan rate adjustments effective January 2025 and March 2025. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for discussion of the 2023 formula rate plan proceeding.

See Note 12 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of Entergy Louisiana’s operating revenues.
Other Income Statement Variances
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased primarily due to additions to plant in service and an increase in nuclear depreciation rates effective September 2024 in accordance with the global stipulated settlement agreement approved by the LPSC in August 2024. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the global stipulated settlement agreement.
Other income increased primarily due to higher interest earned on money pool investments, an increase in the allowance for equity funds used during construction due to higher construction work in progress in 2025, and an increase in the amortization of tax gross ups on customer advances for construction. The increase was partially offset by changes in decommissioning trust fund activity, including portfolio rebalancing of the River Bend decommissioning trust fund in first quarter 2024.
Interest expense increased primarily due to the issuance of $700 million of 5.15% Series mortgage bonds in August 2024 and the issuance of $750 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in January 2025.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 17.5% for the first quarter 2025. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2025 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the book and tax differences related to the non-taxable income distributions earned on preferred membership interests,
book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction,
and certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items, partially offset by the accrual for state income taxes.
The effective income tax rate was 17.6% for the first quarter 2024. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2024 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the book and tax differences related to the non-taxable income distributions earned on preferred membership interests and certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items, partially offset by the accrual for state income taxes and the amortization of deficient state accumulated deferred income taxes as a result of tax rate changes.

$773,199
Operating Activities
Net cash flow provided by operating activities decreased $31.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to higher fuel and purchased power payments and the timing of recovery of fuel and purchased power costs, the timing of payments to vendors, and an increase of $61.1 million in interest paid. The decrease was partially offset by higher collections from customers. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery.
Investing Activities
Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $212.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to:
•
an increase of $114.4 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending on new generation resources in north Louisiana;
•
an increase of $107.7 million in distribution construction expenditures primarily due to increased investment in the resilience of the distribution system and higher capital expenditures for storm restoration in 2025. The increase in storm restoration expenditures is primarily due to Hurricane Francine restoration efforts in 2025;
•
an increase in cash used of $102.3 million as a result of fluctuations in nuclear fuel activity due to variations from year to year in the timing and pricing of fuel reload requirements, materials and services deliveries, and the timing of cash payments during the nuclear fuel cycle;
83

Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis
•
an increase of $88.6 million
in nuclear construction expenditures primarily due to increased spending on various nuclear projects in 2025; and
•
an increase of $53 million in transmission construction expenditures primarily due to increased spending on various transmission projects in 2025.
The increase was partially offset by:
•
money pool activity;
•
a decrease of $29.1 million in information technology capital expenditures primarily due to decreased spending on various technology projects in 2025; and
•
the receipt of $33.5 million from the storm reserve escrow account in 2025. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein for a discussion of the storm reserve funds.
Increases in Entergy Louisiana’s receivable from the money pool are a use of cash flow, and Entergy Louisiana’s receivable from the money pool increased $39.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to increasing by $218.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The money pool is an intercompany cash management program that makes possible intercompany borrowing and lending arrangements, and the money pool and other borrowing arrangements are designed to reduce the Registrant Subsidiaries’ dependence on external short-term borrowings.
Financing Activities
Net cash flow provided by financing activities decreased $461.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to:
•
the issuances of $500 million of 5.35% Series mortgage bonds and $700 million of 5.70% Series mortgage bonds in March 2024;
•
the repayment, prior to maturity, of $190 million of 3.78% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025;
•
the repayment, prior to maturity, of $110 million of 3.78% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025; and
•
a decrease of $35.5 million in advance payments from customers for construction related to transmission, distribution, and generator interconnection agreements.
The decrease was partially offset by:
•
the issuance of $750 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in January 2025;
•
money pool activity;
•
net long-term borrowings of $100 million in 2025 compared to net repayments of $6 million in 2024 on the nuclear fuel company variable interest entities’ credit facilities; and
•
a decrease of $61.3 million in common equity distributions paid in 2025 in order to maintain Entergy Louisiana’s capital structure.
Decreases in Entergy Louisiana’s payable to the money pool are a use of cash flow, and Entergy Louisiana’s payable to the money pool decreased $156.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
See Note 4 to the financial statements herein and Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for more details on long-term debt.

Capital Structure
Entergy Louisiana’s debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table. The increase in the debt to capital ratio for Entergy Louisiana is primarily due to the net issuance of long-term debt in 2025.

Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of short-term borrowings, finance lease obligations, and long-term debt, including the currently maturing portion. Capital consists of debt and equity. Net capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. Entergy Louisiana uses the debt to capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy Louisiana’s financial condition. The net debt to net capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure. Entergy Louisiana also uses the net debt to net capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy Louisiana’s financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy Louisiana’s outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.
Uses and Sources of Capital
See “
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS -
Liquidity and Capital Resources
” in the Form 10-K for a discussion of Entergy Louisiana’s uses and sources of capital. The following are updates to the information provided in the Form 10-K.
Recent announcements of changes to international trade policy and tariffs and further similar changes may impact Entergy Louisiana’s business, operations, results of operations, and liquidity and capital resources. Potential impacts may include increases in costs associated with Entergy Louisiana’s capital investments or operations and maintenance expenses; operational impacts, such as supply chain, manufacturing or raw materials sourcing disruptions which may affect Entergy Louisiana’s ability to make planned capital investments as and when expected and needed; legal uncertainties, such as potential legal or other challenges to presidential tariff authority; or broader economic risks, including shifting customer demand, impacts on customer investment decisions, and volatile or uncertain credit and capital markets, which may affect Entergy Louisiana’s ability to access needed capital. The nature and extent of any such effects will depend on, among other things, the specifics of the changes that are ultimately implemented both domestically and internationally, the responses of vendors, suppliers, and other counterparties to those changes, indirect effects on the price and availability of non-tariffed goods, and the effectiveness of mitigation measures.
Entergy Louisiana’s receivables from or (payables to) the money pool were as follows:

Entergy Louisiana has a credit facility in the amount of $400 million scheduled to expire in June 2029. The credit facility includes fronting commitments for the issuance of letters of credit against $15 million of the borrowing capacity of the facility. As of March 31, 2025, there were no cash borrowings and no letters of credit

outstanding under the credit facility. In addition, Entergy Louisiana is a party to an uncommitted letter of credit facility as a means to post collateral to support its obligations to MISO. As of March 31, 2025, $56.2 million in letters of credit were outstanding under Entergy Louisiana’s uncommitted letter of credit facility. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the credit facilities.
The Entergy Louisiana nuclear fuel company variable interest entities have two separate credit facilities, each in the amount of $105 million and scheduled to expire in June 2027. As of March 31, 2025, $72.3 million in loans were outstanding under the credit facility for the Entergy Louisiana River Bend nuclear fuel company variable interest entity and $65.3 million in loans were outstanding under the credit facility for the Entergy Louisiana Waterford nuclear fuel company variable interest entity. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the nuclear fuel company variable interest entity credit facilities.
Additional Generation and Transmission Resources
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in October 2024, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC seeking approval of a variety of generation and transmission resources proposed in connection with establishing service to a new data center to be developed by a subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc. in north Louisiana, for which an electric service agreement has been executed. The filing requests LPSC certification of three new combined cycle combustion turbine generation resources totaling 2,262 MW, each of which will be enabled for future carbon capture and storage, a new 500 kV transmission line, and 500 kV substation upgrades. The application also requests approval to implement a corporate sustainability rider applicable to the new customer. The corporate sustainability rider contemplates the new customer contributing to the costs of the future addition of 1,500 MW of new solar and energy storage resources, agreements involving carbon capture and storage at Entergy Louisiana’s existing Lake Charles Power Station, and potential future wind and nuclear resources. Entergy Louisiana anticipates funding the incremental cost to serve the customer through direct financial contributions from the customer and the revenues it expects to earn under the electric service agreement. The electric service agreement also contains provisions for termination payments that will help ensure that there is no harm to Entergy Louisiana and its customers in the event of early termination. A directive was issued at the LPSC’s November 2024 meeting for the matter to be decided by October 2025. In February 2025 intervenors filed a motion asking the LPSC to deny Entergy Louisiana’s requested exemption from the LPSC’s order addressing competitive solicitation procedures and further asking the LPSC to dismiss the application. The ALJ issued an order denying the motion to dismiss the application and deferring the LPSC’s consideration of the motion regarding the competitive solicitation procedures until the hearing. In March 2025 the same intervenors filed a motion requesting the LPSC to require the customer and its parent company to be joined as parties to the proceeding or dismiss the application. In April 2025 the ALJ issued an order denying the March 2025 motion, and the moving parties filed a motion asking the LPSC to review and reverse the ALJ’s decision. In April 2025 the LPSC staff and intervenors filed direct testimony. The LPSC staff’s testimony discusses the significant projected benefits associated with the data center project and also recommends that the LPSC impose certain conditions on its approval, including a condition that would require, under specified circumstances, certain sharing of net revenues from service to the project with Entergy Louisiana’s other customers. The LPSC staff also recommends that the LPSC deny approval of the corporate sustainability rider terms providing for the customer to supply funding toward the cost of installing carbon capture and storage infrastructure at Entergy Louisiana’s Lake Charles Power Station. The Louisiana Energy Users Group and other intervenors recommended that the LPSC require various changes to the terms of the electric service agreement with the customer that would shift additional risk and cost to the customer rather than Entergy Louisiana’s broader customer base. Certain intervenors also challenged approval on the basis that Entergy Louisiana did not conduct a request for proposals to procure the proposed generation resources to serve the customer’s project; these intervenors also advocate that Entergy Louisiana be required to procure more renewable generation and evaluate transmission alternatives rather than proceeding with development of all of the proposed new generation resources. Entergy Louisiana’s rebuttal testimony is due in May 2025, and a hearing is set for July 2025.

Transmission Projects
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in March 2024, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC seeking an exemption determination, or alternatively, a certificate of public convenience and necessity, for a transmission project that includes a new 500 kV/230 kV Commodore substation and an approximately 60-mile 230 kV line connecting the new Commodore substation to the Waterford substation. In February 2025, Entergy Louisiana and the LPSC staff jointly filed, for consideration by the LPSC, an uncontested stipulated settlement agreement resolving all issues in the proceeding. The LPSC approved the uncontested stipulated settlement agreement in March 2025 and thereby granted certification of the project.
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in December 2024, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC seeking a certificate of public convenience and necessity for a 500 kV transmission project that includes the construction of a new 84-mile Commodore to Churchill 500 kV transmission line, the expansion of the Waterford 500 kV substation, the construction of a new Churchill 500 kV substation and improvements to the Churchill 230 kV substation, and the conversion of the existing 230 kV Waterford to Churchill transmission line to 500 kV, forming a 500 kV loop into the Downstream of Gypsy load pocket. In April 2025 the LPSC staff and the Louisiana Energy Users Group, an intervenor, filed direct testimony. The LPSC staff’s testimony recommends LPSC approval of the project. The Louisiana Energy Users Group’s testimony opines that Entergy Louisiana has shown that there is a need for additional transmission investment in the West Bank area of Amite South but recommends that the LPSC withhold approval pending further analysis, including analysis of potential lower cost alternatives to the proposed project, and also pending Entergy Louisiana demonstrating that it has contributions in aid of construction from the customers whose block load additions would be enabled by the proposed transmission project in amounts sufficient to substantially, if not fully, cover the revenue requirement of the proposed project. Discovery is ongoing in the proceeding, and a hearing is set for August 2025.
State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery
See “
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS –
State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel Cost Recovery
”
in the Form 10-K for a discussion of state and local rate regulation and fuel-cost recovery. The following are updates to that discussion.
Retail Rates
2023 Formula Rate Plan Filing
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in August 2024, pursuant to the global stipulated settlement agreement, Entergy Louisiana filed its formula rate plan evaluation report for its 2023 calendar year operations. Consistent with the global stipulated settlement agreement, the filing reflected a 9.7% allowed return on common equity with a bandwidth of 40 basis points above and below the midpoint. For the 2023 test year, however, the bandwidth provisions of the formula rate plan are temporarily suspended and, pursuant to the terms of the global stipulated settlement agreement, Entergy Louisiana implemented the September 2024 formula rate plan rate adjustments effective with the first billing cycle of September 2024.
In January 2025, Entergy Louisiana and the LPSC filed a joint report indicating that no disputed issues remained in the proceeding and requesting that the LPSC issue an order accepting Entergy Louisiana’s evaluation report and, ultimately, resolving this matter. In March 2025 the LPSC issued an order accepting the evaluation report.
In December 2024, pursuant to the terms of the global stipulated settlement agreement, Entergy Louisiana filed an interim rate adjustment for the 2023 test year reflecting the return of $25.1 million of refunds from the System Energy settlement with the LPSC to customers from January through August 2025. In February 2025, pursuant to the terms of the global stipulated settlement agreement, Entergy Louisiana filed a second interim rate adjustment for the 2023 test year reflecting the divestiture of Entergy Louisiana’s share of Grand Gulf capacity and energy, which was effective as of January 1, 2025. The second interim rate adjustment also reflected a revenue
87
Table of Contents

Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis
increase of $17.8 million for the recovery of Hurricane Francine costs as approved by the LPSC (on an interim basis). The second interim rate adjustment was implemented with the first billing cycle of March 2025. See further discussion of the Hurricane Francine proceeding in Note 2 to the financial statements herein. See Note 8 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of Entergy Louisiana’s divestiture from the Unit Power Sales Agreement.
Fuel and purchased power cost recovery
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in January 2023 the LPSC staff provided notice of an audit of Entergy Louisiana’s purchased gas adjustment clause filings. The audit includes a review of the reasonableness of charges flowed through Entergy Louisiana’s purchased gas adjustment clause for the period from 2021 through 2022. In April 2025 the LPSC staff issued its audit report (for Entergy Louisiana’s gas operations), which included several prospective recommendations but no financial disallowances. The next procedural step is for the LPSC to review the report; however there is no deadline for completion of the LPSC’s review.
Storm Cost Recovery
In March 2025, Entergy Louisiana filed an application asking that the LPSC issue an order establishing a presumption, in future proceedings involving Entergy Louisiana’s petition for a financing order allowing securitization of storm costs, that the LPSC will enter a decision on the request for a financing order within 120 days from the date of the filing of the petition, while preserving the LPSC’s jurisdiction to complete its full prudence review. A procedural schedule has not been set.

ENTERGY MISSISSIPPI, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
Net Income
Net income increased $19.4 million primarily due to higher retail electric price and higher volume/weather, partially offset by a regulatory charge, recorded in the first quarter 2025, to reflect an adjustment to the grid modernization over/under recovery deferral balance.
Operating Revenues
Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the first quarter 2025 to the first quarter 2024:
Amount
(In Millions)
2024 operating revenues
$414.9
Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income
(34.3)
Retail electric price
24.1
Volume/weather
19.0
2025 operating revenues
$423.7
Entergy Mississippi’s results include revenues from rate mechanisms designed to recover fuel, purchased power, and other costs such that the revenues and expenses associated with these items generally offset and do not affect net income. “Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income” includes the revenue variance associated with these items.
The retail electric price variance is primarily due to increases in formula rate plan rates effective April 2024 and July 2024 and an increase in the interim facilities rate adjustment revenues effective January 2025.
See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for discussion of the 2024 formula rate plan filings, including the interim facilities rate adjustment.
The volume/weather variance is primarily due to an increase in industrial usage and the effect of more favorable weather on residential sales.
The increase in industrial usage is primarily due to an increase in demand from large industrial customers, primarily from new customers in the technology industry, and an increase in demand from small industrial customers.

See Note 12 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of Entergy Mississippi’s operating revenues.
Other Income Statement Variances
Other operation and maintenance expenses increased primarily due to an increase of $4.2 million in storm damage provisions and an increase of $3.5 million in
power delivery expenses primarily due to
higher vegetation maintenance costs
. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of Entergy Mississippi’s storm damage mitigation and restoration rider.
Taxes other than income taxes increased primarily due to increases in ad valorem taxes
resulting from higher assessments.
Other regulatory charges (credits) – net includes a regulatory charge of $21 million, recorded in first quarter 2025, to reflect an adjustment to the grid modernization over/under recovery deferral balance.
Other income increased primarily due to an increase in the amortization of tax gross ups on customer advances for construction and an increase in the allowance for equity funds used during construction due to higher construction in progress in 2025.
Interest expense increased primarily due to carrying costs on customer advances for construction and the issuance of $300 million of 5.85% Series mortgage bonds in May 2024.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rates were 24.1% for the first quarter 2025 and 22.2% for the first quarter 2024. The differences in the effective income tax rates for the first quarter 2025 and the first quarter 2024 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% were primarily due to the accrual for state income taxes, partially offset by certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items.
Income Tax Legislation and Regulation

(4,505)
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period

$2,125
Operating Activities
Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $85.7 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to
the receipt of $108.4 million in advance payments related to customer agreements and higher collections from customers, including $25 million of deferred revenue. The increase was partially offset by:
•
the timing of recovery of fuel and purchased power costs.
See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery;
•
the timing of payments to vendors; and
•
higher fuel and purchased power payments.
Investing Activities
Net cash flow used in investing activities
increased
$319.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to
an increase of $239 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures
primarily due to higher spending on the Delta Blues Advanced Power Station project, the Penton Solar project, and other non-nuclear generation projects and money pool activity.
Increases in Entergy Mississippi’s receivable from the money pool are a use of cash flow, and Entergy Mississippi’s receivable from the money pool increased $94.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The money pool is an intercompany cash management program that makes possible intercompany borrowing and lending arrangements, and the money pool and other borrowing arrangements are designed to reduce the Registrant Subsidiaries’ dependence on external short-term borrowings.
Financing Activities
Net cash flow provided by financing activities increased
$680.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to:
•
the issuance of $600 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025;
•
an increase of $107.6 million in advance payments from customers for construction related to transmission, distribution, and generator interconnection agreements;
99
Table of Contents
Entergy Mississippi, LLC and Subsidiaries
Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis
•
a capital contribution of $62.5 million received from Entergy Corporation in order to maintain Entergy Mississippi’s capital structure; and
•
money pool activity.
The increase was partially offset by borrowings of $100 million in 2024 on Entergy Mississippi’s credit facility.
Decreases in Entergy Mississippi’s payable to the money pool are a use of cash flow, and Entergy Mississippi’s payable to the money pool
decreased by $17.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2024
.
See Note 4 to the financial statements herein and Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for more details on long-term debt.
Capital Structure
Entergy Mississippi’s debt to capital ratio is shown in the following
table.
The increase in the debt to capital ratio for Entergy Mississippi is primarily due to net issuance of long-term debt in 2025.

%
Effect of subtracting cash
(5.4

(1.6

Net debt to net capital (non-GAAP)

%
Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of short-term borrowings, finance lease obligations, and long-term debt, including the currently maturing portion. Capital consists of debt and equity. Net capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. Entergy Mississippi uses the debt to capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy Mississippi’s financial condition. The net debt to net capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure. Entergy Mississippi uses the net debt to net capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy Mississippi’s financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy Mississippi’s outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.
Uses and Sources of Capital
See “
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS -
Liquidity and Capital Resources
”
in the Form 10-K for a discussion of Entergy Mississippi’s uses and sources of capital. The following are updates to the information provided in the Form 10-K.
Recent announcements of changes to international trade policy and tariffs and further similar changes may impact Entergy Mississippi’s business, operations, results of operations, and liquidity and capital resources. Potential impacts may include increases in costs associated with Entergy Mississippi’s capital investments or operations and maintenance expenses; operational impacts, such as supply chain, manufacturing or raw materials sourcing disruptions which may affect Entergy Mississippi’s ability to make planned capital investments as and when expected and needed; legal uncertainties, such as potential legal or other challenges to presidential tariff authority; or broader economic risks, including shifting customer demand, impacts on customer investment decisions, and volatile or uncertain credit and capital markets, which may affect Entergy Mississippi’s ability to access needed capital. The nature and extent of any such effects will depend on, among other things, the specifics of the changes that are ultimately implemented both domestically and internationally, the responses of vendors, suppliers, and other counterparties to those changes, indirect effects on the price and availability of non-tariffed goods, and the effectiveness of mitigation measures.

h borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the credit facility. In addition, Entergy Mississippi is a party to an uncommitted letter of credit facility as a means to post collateral to support its obligations to MISO and for other purposes.
As of March 31, 2025,
$31.3 million
in MISO letters of credit and
$1.3 million
in non-MISO letters of credit were outstanding under this facility. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the credit facilities.
State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery
See “
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS -
State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery
” in the Form 10-K for a discussion of state and local rate regulation and fuel-cost recovery. The following are updates to that discussion.
Retail Rates
2025 Formula Rate Plan Filing
In February 2025, Entergy Mississippi submitted its formula rate plan 2025 test year filing and 2024 look-back filing showing Entergy Mississippi’s earned return on rate base for the historical 2024 calendar year to be within the formula rate plan bandwidth and projected earned return for the 2025 calendar year to also be within the formula rate plan bandwidth. The 2025 test year filing resulted in an earned return on rate base of 7.64% and reflected no change in formula rate plan revenues. The 2024 look-back filing compared actual 2024 results to the approved benchmark return on rate base and reflected no change in formula rate plan revenues, although Entergy Mississippi proposes to adjust interim rates by $135 thousand to reflect two outside-the-bandwidth changes: (1) the completion of Entergy Mississippi’s return to customers of credits under its restructuring credit rider; and (2) a true-up of demand side management costs. A final order is expected in second quarter 2025.
Interim Facilities Rate Adjustments
In May 2024, Entergy Mississippi received approval from the MPSC for formula rate plan revisions that were necessary for Entergy Mississippi to comply with state legislation passed in January 2024. The legislation allows Entergy Mississippi to make interim rate adjustments to recover the non-fuel related annual ownership cost of certain facilities that directly or indirectly provide service to customers who own certain data processing center projects as specified in the legislation. Entergy Mississippi filed the first of its annual interim facilities rate adjustment reports in May 2024 to recover approximately $8.7 million of these costs over a six-month period with rates effective beginning in July 2024. Entergy Mississippi filed its second interim facilities rate adjustment report in November 2024 to recover approximately $46.7 million of these costs over a 12-month period with rates effective beginning in January 2025. In February 2025, Entergy Mississippi filed a true-up interim facilities rate adjustment report to the initial annual interim facilities rate adjustment report filed in May 2024, reflecting the recovery of an additional approximately $1.0 million of costs over a 12-month period with rates effective with the first billing cycle of April 2025.

MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
Net Income
Entergy New Orleans had net income of $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to a net loss of $49.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to a
$78.5 million ($57.4 million net-of-tax) regulatory charge, recorded in first quarter 2024, primarily to reflect a settlement in principle between Entergy New Orleans and the City Council in April 2024 for additional sharing with customers of income tax benefits from the resolution of the 2016-2018 IRS audit. Also contributing to the net income were lower other operation and maintenance expenses, partially offset by higher interest expense. See Note 3 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the April 2024 settlement in principle and discussion of the resolution of the 2016-2018 IRS audit.
Operating Revenues
Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the first quarter 2025 to the first quarter 2024:
Amount
(In Millions)
2024 operating revenues
$193.0
Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income
(18.1)
Retail electric price
1.7
Volume/weather
4.5
2025 operating revenues
$181.1
Entergy New Orleans’s results include revenues from rate mechanisms designed to recover fuel, purchased power, and other costs such that the revenues and expenses associated with these items generally offset and do not affect net income. “Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income” includes the revenue variance associated with these items.
The retail electric price variance is primarily due to an increase in formula rate plan rates effective September 2024 in accordance with the terms of the 2024 formula rate plan filing. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the formula rate plan filing.
The volume/weather variance is primarily due to the effect of more favorable weather on residential sales, partially offset by a decrease in weather-adjusted residential usage.

See Note 12 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of Entergy New Orleans’s operating revenues.
Other Income Statement Variances
Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased primarily due to:
•
a decrease of $1.5 million in loss provisions;
•
a decrease of $1.4 million in costs recognized related to credits provided to customers as part of the rate mitigation plan approved in the settlement of the 2023 formula rate plan filing. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the formula rate plan filing;
and
•
contract costs of $0.8 million, in first quarter 2024, related to operational performance, customer service, and organizational health initiatives.
Other regulatory charges (credits) - net includes
a regulatory charge of
$78.5 million, recorded in first quarter 2024, primarily to reflect a settlement in principle between Entergy New Orleans and the City Council in April 2024 for additional sharing with customers of income tax benefits from the resolution of the 2016-2018 IRS audit.
See Note 3 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the April 2024 settlement in principle and discussion of the resolution of the 2016-2018 IRS audit.
Interest expense increased primarily due to higher carrying costs related to higher regulatory liability balances and
the issuances of $65 million of 6.41% Series mortgage bonds, $50 million of 6.54% Series mortgage bonds, and $35 million of 6.25% Series mortgage bonds, each in May 2024, partially offset by the repayment of an $85 million unsecured term loan in June 2024.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 23.6% for the first quarter 2025. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2025 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the accrual for state income taxes, partially offset by certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items.
The effective income tax rate was 28.3% for the first quarter 2024. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2024 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the accrual for state income taxes.

Operating Activities
Net cash flow provided by operating activities decreased $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to lower collections from customers, partially offset by the timing of payments to vendors.
Investing Activities
Net cash flow used in investing activities decreased $15.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to net receipts of $9.5 million from the storm reserve escrow account in 2025 compared to payments of $1.9 million to the storm reserve escrow account in 2024.
Financing Activities
Net cash flow provided by financing activities decreased $26.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to the repayment, at maturity, of $78 million of 3.00% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025 and money pool activity. The decrease was partially offset by proceeds received in March 2025 from an $80 million unsecured term loan due March 2026.
Increases in Entergy New Orleans’s payable to the money pool are a source of cash flow, and Entergy New Orleans’s payable to the money pool increased $28.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The money pool is an intercompany cash management program that makes possible intercompany borrowing and

lending arrangements, and the money pool and other borrowing arrangements are designed to reduce the Registrant Subsidiaries’ dependence on external short-term borrowings.
See Note 4 to the financial statements herein and Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for more details on long-term debt.
Capital Structure
Entergy New Orleans’s debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table.

Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of short-term borrowings, finance lease obligations, long-term debt, including the currently maturing portion, and the long-term payable due to an associated company. Capital consists of debt and equity. Net capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. Entergy New Orleans uses the debt to capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy New Orleans’s financial condition.
The net debt to net capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure. Entergy New Orleans also uses the net debt to net capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy New Orleans’s financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy New Orleans’s outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.
Uses and Sources of Capital
See “
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS -
Liquidity and Capital Resources
” in the Form 10-K for a discussion of Entergy New Orleans’s uses and sources of capital. The following are updates to the information provided in the Form 10-K.
Recent announcements of changes to international trade policy and tariffs and further similar changes may impact Entergy New Orleans’s business, operations, results of operations, and liquidity and capital resources. Potential impacts may include increases in costs associated with Entergy New Orleans’s capital investments or operations and maintenance expenses; operational impacts, such as supply chain, manufacturing or raw materials sourcing disruptions which may affect Entergy New Orleans’s ability to make planned capital investments as and when expected and needed; legal uncertainties, such as potential legal or other challenges to presidential tariff authority; or broader economic risks, including shifting customer demand, impacts on customer investment decisions, and volatile or uncertain credit and capital markets, which may affect Entergy New Orleans’s ability to access needed capital. The nature and extent of any such effects will depend on, among other things, the specifics of the changes that are ultimately implemented both domestically and internationally, the responses of vendors, suppliers, and other counterparties to those changes, indirect effects on the price and availability of non-tariffed goods, and the effectiveness of mitigation measures.

As of March 31, 2025, there were no cash borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the credit facility. In addition, Entergy New Orleans is a party to an uncommitted letter of credit facility as a means to post collateral to support its obligations to MISO. As of March 31, 2025, a $0.5 million letter of credit was outstanding under Entergy New Orleans’s uncommitted letter of credit facility. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the credit facilities.
State and Local Rate Regulation
See “
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS –
State and Local Rate Regulation
”
in the Form 10-K for a discussion of state and local rate regulation. The following is an update to that discussion.
Retail Rates
2025 Formula Rate Plan Filing
In April 2025, Entergy New Orleans submitted to the City Council its formula rate plan 2024 test year filing. The 2024 evaluation report produced an electric earned return on equity of 10.98% and a gas earned return on equity of 8.96% compared to the authorized return on equity for each of 9.35%. Without adjustments, this would result in a decrease in electric rates of $13.8 million and no change in gas rates. The decrease in electric rates is driven by the realignment of regulatory liabilities into the formula from a separate rate mechanism, partially offset by the cost of known and measurable electric capital additions. The filing also commences the previously authorized recovery of certain regulatory costs and requests a revenue-neutral recovery to offset a proposed reduction in bill payment late fees. Taking into account these proposed adjustments, the filing presents a decrease in authorized electric revenues of $8.6 million and an increase in authorized gas revenues of $0.5 million. The filing is subject to a 75-day review period, followed by a 25-day period to resolve any disputes among the parties. For any disputed rate adjustments, however, the City Council would set a procedural schedule to resolve. Resulting rates will be effective with the first billing cycle of September 2025 pursuant to the formula rate plan tariff.

ENTERGY TEXAS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
Net Income
Net income increased $30.1 million primarily due to higher volume/weather, higher retail electric price, and higher other income, partially offset by higher interest expense and higher taxes other than income taxes.
Operating Revenues
Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the first quarter 2025 to the first quarter 2024:
Amount
(In Millions)
2024 operating revenues
$444.5
Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income
(35.8)
Retail electric price
11.2
Volume/weather
22.0
2025 operating revenues
$441.9
Entergy Texas’s results include revenues from rate mechanisms designed to recover fuel, purchased power, and other costs such that the revenues and expenses associated with these items generally offset and do not affect net income. “Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income” includes the revenue variance associated with these items.
The retail electric price variance is primarily due to the implementation of the distribution cost recovery factor rider effective with the first billing cycle in October 2024 and an increase in the distribution cost recovery factor rider effective in late December 2024. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the distribution cost recovery factor rider filings.
The volume/weather variance is primarily due to the effect of more favorable weather on residential sales, an increase in weather-adjusted residential usage, and an increase in commercial usage. The increase in weather-adjusted residential usage and the increase in commercial usage are primarily due to an increase in customers.

Other Income Statement Variances
Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased primarily due to contract costs of $2.0 million, in first quarter 2024, related to operational performance, customer service, and organizational health initiatives and a decrease of $1.9 million in non-nuclear generation expenses primarily due to a lower scope of work performed in 2025 as compared to 2024.
Taxes other than income taxes increased primarily due to increases in ad valorem taxes resulting from higher assessments.
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased primarily due to the recognition of $13.8 million in depreciation expense in first quarter 2024 for the 2022 base rate case relate back period, effective over six months beginning January 2024. The recognition of depreciation expense for the relate back period was effective over the same period as collections from the relate back surcharge rider and resulted in no effect on net income. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the 2022 base rate case. The decrease was partially offset by additions to plant in service.
Other income increased primarily due to an increase in the allowance for equity funds used during construction due to higher construction work in progress in 2025, including the Orange County Advanced Power Station project and the Legend Power Station project.
Interest expense increased primarily due to:
•
the issuance of $350 million of 5.55% Series mortgage bonds in August 2024;
•
carrying costs of $3.4 million, recorded in first quarter 2025, related to the interim fuel refund. The recognition of carrying costs is effective over the same period as the interim fuel refund and results in no effect on net income. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the interim fuel refund; and
•
the issuance of $500 million of 5.25% Series mortgage bonds in February 2025.
The increase was partially offset by an increase in the allowance for borrowed funds used during construction due to higher construction work in progress in 2025, including the Orange County Advanced Power Station project and the Legend Power Station project.

The effective income tax rate was 15.6

for the first quarter 2025
versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction and certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items.

Operating Activities
Net cash flow provided by operating activities decreased $49.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to the timing of recovery of fuel and purchased power costs, an increase of $38.7 million in interest paid, higher fuel and purchased power payments, and lower collections from customers. The decrease was partially offset by the timing of payments to vendors. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery.
Investing Activities
Entergy Texas’s investing activities used
$441.0 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to providing $34.3 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to the following activity:
•
money pool activity;
•
an increase of $131.5 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending on the Legend Power Station project and the Orange County Advanced Power Station project;
123
Table of Contents
Entergy Texas, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis
•
an increase of $52 million in transmission construction expenditures primarily due to increased spending on various transmission projects in 2025 and higher capital expenditures as a result of increased development in Entergy Texas’s service area; and
•
a decrease of $17.9 million in information technology capital expenditures primarily due to decreased spending on various technology projects in 2025.
Increases in Entergy Texas’s receivable from the money pool are a use of cash flow, and Entergy Texas’s receivable from the money pool increased $36.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to decreasing by $267.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The money pool is an intercompany cash management program that makes possible intercompany borrowing and lending arrangements, and the money pool and other borrowing arrangements are designed to reduce the Registrant Subsidiaries’ dependence on external short-term borrowings.
Financing Activities
Net cash flow provided by financing activities increased $481.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to the issuance of $500 million of 5.25% Series mortgage bonds in February 2025, partially offset by a decrease of $12.4 million in advance payments from customers for construction related to transmission, distribution, and generator interconnection agreements. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein and Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for more details on long-term debt.
Capital Structure
Entergy Texas’s debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table. The increase in the debt to capital ratio for Entergy Texas is primarily due to the net issuance of long-term debt in 2025.

Calculation excludes the securitization bonds, which are non-recourse to Entergy Texas.
Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of finance lease obligations and long-term debt, including the currently maturing portion. Capital consists of debt and equity. Net capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. The debt to capital ratio excluding securitization bonds and net debt to net capital ratio excluding securitization bonds are non-GAAP measures. Entergy Texas uses the debt to capital ratios excluding securitization bonds in analyzing its financial condition and believes they provide useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy Texas’s financial condition because the securitization bonds are non-recourse to Entergy Texas, as more fully described in Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K. Entergy Texas also uses the net debt to net capital ratio excluding securitization bonds in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy Texas’s financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy Texas’s outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.

Uses and Sources of Capital
See “
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS -
Liquidity and Capital Resources
” in the Form 10-K for a discussion of Entergy Texas’s uses and sources of capital. The following are updates to the information provided in the Form 10-K.
Recent announcements of changes to international trade policy and tariffs and further similar changes may impact Entergy Texas’s business, operations, results of operations, and liquidity and capital resources. Potential impacts may include increases in costs associated with Entergy Texas’s capital investments or operations and maintenance expenses; operational impacts, such as supply chain, manufacturing or raw materials sourcing disruptions which may affect Entergy Texas’s ability to make planned capital investments as and when expected and needed; legal uncertainties, such as potential legal or other challenges to presidential tariff authority; or broader economic risks, including shifting customer demand, impacts on customer investment decisions, and volatile or uncertain credit and capital markets, which may affect Entergy Texas’s ability to access needed capital. The nature and extent of any such effects will depend on, among other things, the specifics of the changes that are ultimately implemented both domestically and internationally, the responses of vendors, suppliers, and other counterparties to those changes, indirect effects on the price and availability of non-tariffed goods, and the effectiveness of mitigation measures.

See Note 4 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a description of the money pool.
Entergy Texas has a credit facility in the amount of $300 million scheduled to expire in June 2029. The credit facility includes fronting commitments for the issuance of letters of credit against $25 million of the borrowing capacity of the facility. As of March 31, 2025, there were no cash borrowings and $1.1 million in letters of credit outstanding under the credit facility. In addition, Entergy Texas is a party to an uncommitted letter of credit facility as a means to post collateral to support its obligations to MISO. As of March 31, 2025, $105.4 million in letters of credit were outstanding under Entergy Texas’s uncommitted letter of credit facility. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the credit facilities.
Legend Power Station and Lone Star Power Station
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in June 2024, Entergy Texas filed an application seeking PUCT approval to amend Entergy Texas’s certificate of convenience and necessity to construct, own, and operate the Legend Power Station, a 754 MW combined-cycle combustion turbine facility, which will be enabled for future carbon capture and storage and for hydrogen co-firing optionality, to be located in Jefferson County, Texas, and the Lone Star Power Station, a 453 MW simple-cycle combustion turbine facility, which will be enabled with hydrogen co-firing optionality, to be located in Liberty County, Texas. A hearing on the merits was held in April 2025. Also in April 2025, Entergy Texas, intervenors, and the PUCT staff filed initial briefs. In its initial brief, the PUCT staff recommends denial of Entergy Texas’s application or, in the alternative, approval subject to conditions that include a prudence review by an external consultant if actual project costs exceed estimated costs by more than 10%, transmission cost reporting, and weatherization of both the Legend Power Station and the Lone Star Power Station. Certain intervenors requested that the PUCT impose various conditions upon the approval of the resources, including, among others, cost recovery limitations, a direction that Entergy Texas initiate a competitive tariff proceeding to facilitate industrial sleeving, a requirement for additional regulatory approvals related to hydrogen or carbon capture and storage implementation, limits on the recovery of supplemental filing costs, and calculation of

AFUDC based on an adjusted weighted average cost of capital. Reply briefs are due in May 2025. A PUCT decision is expected in third quarter 2025. Subject to receipt of required regulatory approval and other conditions, both facilities are expected to be in service by mid-2028.
SETEX Area Reliability Project
In February 2025, Entergy Texas filed an application seeking PUCT approval to amend Entergy Texas’s certificate of convenience and necessity to construct, own, and operate a new single-circuit 500 kV transmission line and associated stations and 138/230 kV facilities. The transmission line is expected to be approximately 131 to 160 miles in length and the estimated cost of the project ranges from $1.3 billion to $1.5 billion, depending upon the route ultimately approved by the PUCT. Also in February 2025 the PUCT referred the proceeding to the State Office of Administrative Hearings. In March 2025 the ALJs with the State Office of Administrative Hearings adopted a procedural schedule with a hearing on the merits to be held in May 2025. A PUCT decision is expected in third quarter 2025. Subject to receipt of required regulatory approval and other conditions and approvals, construction of the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2029.
State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery
See “
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS -
State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery
” in the Form 10-K for a discussion of state and local rate regulation and fuel-cost recovery. The following are updates to that discussion.
Retail Rates
Distribution Cost Recovery Factor (DCRF) Rider
In April 2025, Entergy Texas filed with the PUCT a request to amend its DCRF rider. The proposed rider is designed to collect from Entergy Texas’s retail customers approximately $77.8 million annually, or $29.3 million in incremental annual revenues beyond Entergy Texas’s currently effective DCRF rider based on its capital invested in distribution between July 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, including distribution-related restoration costs associated with Hurricane Beryl.
Transmission Cost Recovery Factor (TCRF) Rider
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in October 2024, Entergy Texas filed with the PUCT a request to amend its TCRF rider, which was previously reset to zero in June 2023 as a result of the 2022 base rate case. The amended rider was designed to collect from Entergy Texas’s retail customers approximately $9.7 million annually based on its capital invested in transmission between January 1, 2022 and June 30, 2024 and changes in other transmission charges. In April 2025 the PUCT approved the TCRF rider, consistent with Entergy Texas’s as-filed request, and rates became effective for usage on and after April 7, 2025.

SYSTEM ENERGY RESOURCES, INC.
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
System Energy’s principal asset consists of an ownership interest and a leasehold interest in Grand Gulf. The capacity and energy from its 90% interest is sold under the Unit Power Sales Agreement to its only four customers, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, and Entergy New Orleans. System Energy’s operating revenues are derived from the allocation of the capacity, energy, and related costs associated with its 90% interest in Grand Gulf pursuant to the Unit Power Sales Agreement. Payments under the Unit Power Sales Agreement are System Energy’s only source of operating revenues. As discussed in “
Complaints Against System Energy
”
in Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K, System Energy and the Unit Power Sales Agreement have been the subject of several litigation proceedings at the FERC. Settlements that resolve all significant aspects of these complaints have been reached with the MPSC, the APSC, the City Council, and the LPSC, and these settlements have been approved by the FERC.
Results of Operations
Net Income
Net income decreased $7.7 million primar
ily due a lower rate of return on rate base, including the effects of lower authorized rate of return on equity and capital structure limitations reflected in monthly bills issued to Entergy New Orleans effective with the June 2024 service month per the settlement agreement with the City Council and the lower authorized rate of return on equity and capital structure limitations reflected in monthly bills issued to Entergy Louisiana effective with the September 2024 service month per the settlement with the LPSC. The decrease was partially offset by higher operating revenues resulting from an increase in rate base. See No
te 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the settlements with the City Council and the LPSC.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 21.2% for the first quarter 2025. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2025 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the accrual for state income taxes, partially offset by book and tax differences related to utility plant items.
The effective income tax rate was 20.5% for the first quarter 2024. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2024 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction, partially offset by the accrual for state income taxes.

$111,501
Operating Activities
Net cash flow provided by operating activities decreased $25.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to the timing of collections from customers, partially offset by a decrease of $6.6 million in spending on nuclear refueling outage costs in 2025 as compared to 2024.
Investing Activities
Net cash flow used in investing activities decreased $165.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to a decrease in cash used of $123.5 million as a result of fluctuations in nuclear fuel activity due to variations from year to year in the timing and pricing of fuel reload requirements, material and services deliveries, and the timing of cash payments during the nuclear fuel cycle and money pool activity.
Decreases in System Energy’s receivable from the money pool are a source of cash flow and System Energy’s receivable from the money pool decreased $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to increasing by $31.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The money pool is an intercompany cash management program that makes possible intercompany borrowing and lending arrangements, and the money pool and other borrowing arrangements are designed to reduce the Registrant Subsidiaries’ dependence on external short-term borrowings.
Financing Activities
System Energy’s financing activities used $49 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to providing $229.4 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to:
•
a capital contribution of $150 million received from Entergy Corporation in January 2024 in order to maintain System Energy’s capital structure;
•
net repayments of $13.8 million in 2025 compared to net long-term borrowings of $91.7 million in 2024 on the nuclear fuel company variable interest entity’s credit facility; and
•
$35 million in common stock dividends and distributions paid in 2025. No common stock dividends or distributions were paid in 2024 in anticipation of the settlements with the APSC, the LPSC, and the City Council.

Capital Structure
System Energy’s debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table.

Debt to capital
52.9
%

%
Effect of subtracting cash
(0.1
%)
(0.7
%)
Net debt to net capital (non-GAAP)
52.8
%
52.2
%
Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of short-term borrowings and long-term debt, including the currently maturing portion. Capital consists of debt and common equity. Net capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. System Energy uses the debt to capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating System Energy’s financial condition. The net debt to net capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure. System Energy uses the net debt to net capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating System Energy’s financial condition because net debt indicates System Energy’s outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.
Uses and Sources of Capital
See “
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS -
Liquidity and Capital Resources
” in the Form 10-K for a discussion of System Energy’s uses and sources of capital. The following are updates to the information provided in the Form 10-K.
Recent announcements of changes to international trade policy and tariffs and further similar changes may impact System Energy’s business, operations, results of operations, and liquidity and capital resources. Potential impacts may include increases in costs associated with System Energy’s capital investments or operations and maintenance expenses; operational impacts, such as supply chain, manufacturing or raw materials sourcing disruptions which may affect System Energy’s ability to make planned capital investments as and when expected and needed; legal uncertainties, such as potential legal or other challenges to presidential tariff authority; or broader economic risks, including shifting customer demand, impacts on customer investment decisions, and volatile or uncertain credit and capital markets, which may affect System Energy’s ability to access needed capital. The nature and extent of any such effects will depend on, among other things, the specifics of the changes that are ultimately implemented both domestically and internationally, the responses of vendors, suppliers, and other counterparties to those changes, indirect effects on the price and availability of non-tariffed goods, and the effectiveness of mitigation measures.
System Energy’s receivables from or (payables to) the money pool were as follows:

The System Energy nuclear fuel company variable interest entity has a credit facility in the amount of $120 million scheduled to expire in June 2027. As of March 31, 2025, $58.9 million in loans were outstanding under the System Energy nuclear fuel company variable interest entity credit facility. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the variable interest entity credit facility.

Complaints Against System Energy
See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for information regarding pending complaints against System Energy and the settlements approved by the FERC that resolved all significant aspects of these complaints.
The following is an update to that discussion.
Grand Gulf Sale-leaseback Renewal Complaint and Uncertain Tax Position Rate Base Issue
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in February 2023, System Energy submitted a tariff compliance filing with the FERC to clarify that, consistent with the releases provided in the June 2022 MPSC settlement, Entergy Mississippi would continue to be charged for its allocation of the sale-leaseback renewal costs under the Unit Power Sales Agreement. In March 2023 the MPSC filed a protest to System Energy’s tariff compliance filing. The MPSC argued that the settlement did not specifically address post-settlement sale-leaseback renewal costs and that the sale-leaseback renewal costs may not be recovered under the Unit Power Sales Agreement.
In February 2025, System Energy and the MPSC resolved their dispute concerning the sale-leaseback renewal costs. As a result, the MPSC withdrew its protest at the FERC on System Energy’s tariff compliance filing. Entergy Mississippi will continue to pay the allocated sale-leaseback renewal costs of approximately $5.7 million annually and there are no refunds due for prior periods. In March 2025, System Energy filed a status report with the FERC explaining that the dispute is resolved.

In accordance with Entergy’s stock-based compensation plans, Entergy periodically grants stock options to key employees, which may be exercised to obtain shares of Entergy’s common stock. According to the plans, these shares can be newly issued shares, treasury stock, or shares purchased on the open market. Entergy’s management has been authorized by the Board to repurchase on the open market shares up to an amount sufficient to fund the exercise of grants under the plans. In addition to this authority, the Board has authorized share repurchase programs to enable opportunistic purchases in response to market conditions. In October 2010 the Board granted authority for a $500 million share repurchase program. The amount of share repurchases under these programs may vary as a result of material changes in business results or capital spending or new investment opportunities.

Regulation of the Nuclear Power Industry
The following is an update to the “
Regulation of the Nuclear Power Industry
” section of Part I, Item 1 of the Form 10-K.
Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982
Nuclear Plant Decommissioning
In March 2025 filings with the NRC were made that reported the decommissioning funding for all of Entergy’s subsidiaries’ nuclear plants. Those reports showed that decommissioning funding for each of the nuclear plants met the NRC’s financial assurance requirements.
Environmental Regulation
The following are updates to the “
Environmental Regulation
” section of Part I, Item 1 of the Form 10-K.
In March 2025 the EPA announced a series of deregulatory actions, including reconsideration of the Mercury and Air Toxics Standard rule, reconsideration of greenhouse gas emissions rules, evaluation of whether to extend the compliance deadlines under the 2024 coal combustion residuals rule, and reconsideration of the effluent limitations guidelines. Entergy continues to monitor the EPA’s reconsideration efforts.
National Ambient Air Quality Standards
See the Form 10-K for discussion of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) set by the EPA in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The following is an update to that discussion.
Good Neighbor Plan/Cross-State Air Pollution Rule
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in June 2023 the EPA published its final Federal Implementation Plan (FIP), known as the Good Neighbor Plan, to address interstate transport for the 2015 ozone NAAQS which would increase the stringency of the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) program in all four of the states where the Utility operating companies operate. The FIP would significantly reduce ozone season nitrogen oxides (NO
x)
emission allowance budgets and allocations for electric generating units. Prior to issuance of the FIP, in February 2023 the EPA issued related State Implementation Plan (SIP) disapprovals for many states, including the four states in which the Utility operating companies operate, and these SIP disapprovals are the subject of many legal challenges, including a petition for review filed by Entergy Louisiana challenging the disapproval of Louisiana’s SIP. Judicial stays of the SIP disapprovals were granted in all four states in which the Utility operating companies operate. In March 2025 the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that the EPA properly disapproved Texas’s and Louisiana’s SIPs but found that the EPA’s disapproval was unreasonable for Mississippi’s SIP. The United States Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has not issued a merits decision yet in the Arkansas SIP disapproval litigation. The FIP is also subject to numerous legal challenges in various federal circuit courts of appeals, and in June 2024 the United States Supreme Court issued an order, in challenges filed in the D.C. Circuit, staying enforcement of the FIP pending the D.C. Circuit’s review of the rule. Following the United States Supreme Court stay, the EPA also stayed the FIP. In March 2025 the EPA asked the D.C. Circuit for a voluntary remand to reconsider the FIP. In its declaration, the EPA states that it plans to reconsider, among other things, what states are subject to the FIP. In April 2025 the D.C. Circuit held the cases in abeyance pending further order of the court. The EPA anticipates a new rule by fall 2026. Entergy is monitoring this litigation, any subsequent rulemaking, and assessing its compliance options in the event that the FIP becomes effective.
