For third quarter 2022, the company reported earnings of $561 million, or $2.74 per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $580 million, or $2.84 per share, on an adjusted basis. This compared to third quarter 2021 earnings of $531 million, or $2.63 per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $494 million, or $2.45 per share, on an adjusted basis.
Summary discussions by business are below. Additional details, including information on OCF by business, are provided in Appendix A. An analysis of quarterly and year-to-date variances by business is provided in Appendix B.
Utility
For third quarter 2022, the Utility business reported earnings attributable to Entergy Corporation of $672 million, or $3.29 per share, on both an as-reported and adjusted basis. This compared to third quarter 2021 earnings of $570 million, or $2.82 per share, on an as-reported basis and $559 million, or $2.77 per share, on an adjusted basis. Drivers for the change in quarterly earnings included:
- the net effect of regulatory actions across the operating companies;
- higher retail sales volume, including the effects of weather; and
- higher income from affiliate preferred investments (offset at P&O and largely earnings neutral at the consolidated level).
The drivers were partially offset by:
- higher operating expenses including other O&M and depreciation expense, and
- higher interest expense.
On a per share basis, third quarter 2022 results reflected higher diluted average number of common shares outstanding.
Appendix C contains additional details on Utility operating and financial measures.
Parent & Other
For third quarter 2022, Parent & Other reported a loss attributable to Entergy Corporation of $(92 million), or (45) cents per share, on both an as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to a third quarter 2021 loss of $(65 million), or (32) cents per share, on both an as-reported and an adjusted basis. The primary driver for the quarter was the impact from affiliate preferred investments (offset at Utility and largely earnings neutral at the consolidated level).
On a per share basis, third quarter 2022 results reflected higher diluted average number of common shares outstanding.
Entergy Wholesale Commodities
For third quarter 2022, EWC reported a loss attributable to Entergy Corporation of $(19 million), or (10) cents per share, on an as-reported basis. This compared to third quarter 2021 earnings of $26 million, or 13 cents per share, on an as-reported basis. The primary drivers for the quarter were:
- the shutdown of Palisades in May 2022 and other items associated with the wind-down of EWC, and
- income taxes.
On a per share basis, third quarter 2022 results reflected higher diluted average number of common shares outstanding.
Appendix D contains additional details on EWC operating and financial measures, including reconciliation for non-GAAP EWC adjusted EBITDA.
Entergy narrowed its 2022 adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $6.25 to $6.45. See webcast presentation for additional details.
The company has provided 2022 earnings guidance with regard to the non-GAAP measure of Entergy adjusted EPS. This measure excludes from the corresponding GAAP financial measure the effect of adjustments as described below under "Non-GAAP financial measures." The company has not provided a reconciliation of such non-GAAP guidance to guidance presented on a GAAP basis because it cannot predict and quantify with a reasonable degree of confidence all of the adjustments that may occur during the period. One adjustment is the exclusion of EWC earnings from Entergy adjusted EPS. We currently estimate that the contribution of EWC to Entergy's as-reported EPS will be approximately 25 cents in 2022.
A teleconference will be held at 10:00 a.m. Central Time on Wednesday, November 2, 2022, to discuss Entergy's quarterly earnings announcement and the company's financial performance.

Details regarding Entergy's results of operations, regulatory proceedings, and other matters are available in this earnings release, a copy of which will be filed with the SEC, and the webcast presentation. Both documents are available on Entergy's Investor Relations website at www.entergy.com/investor_relations.
Entergy maintains a web page as part of its Investor Relations website, entitled Regulatory and Other Information, which provides investors with key updates on certain regulatory proceedings and important milestones on the execution of its strategy. While some of this information may be considered material information, investors should not rely exclusively on this page for all relevant company information.
For definitions of certain operating measures, as well as GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures and abbreviations and acronyms used in the earnings release materials, see Appendix F.
This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures, which are generally numerical measures of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either exclude or include amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Entergy has provided quantitative reconciliations within this news release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Entergy reports earnings using the non-GAAP measure of Entergy adjusted earnings, which excludes the effect of certain "adjustments," including the removal of the Entergy Wholesale Commodities segment in light of the company's exit from the merchant power business. Adjustments are unusual or non-recurring items or events or other items or events that management believes do not reflect the ongoing business of Entergy, such as the results of the EWC segment, significant tax items, and other items such as certain costs, expenses, or other specified items. In addition to reporting GAAP consolidated earnings on a per share basis, Entergy reports its adjusted earnings on a per share basis. These per share measures represent the applicable earnings amount divided by the diluted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share for, among other things, financial planning and analysis; reporting financial results to the board of directors, employees, stockholders, analysts, and investors; and internal evaluation of financial performance. Entergy believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in evaluating the ongoing results of Entergy's business, comparing period to period results, and comparing Entergy's financial performance to the financial performance of other companies in the utility sector.
Other non-GAAP measures, including adjusted EBITDA; adjusted ROE; adjusted ROE, excluding affiliate preferred; gross liquidity; net liquidity; net liquidity, including storm escrows; debt to capital, excluding securitization debt; net debt to net capital, excluding securitization debt; parent debt to total debt, excluding securitization debt; FFO to debt, excluding securitization debt; and FFO to debt, excluding securitization debt, return of unprotected excess ADIT, and severance and retention payments associated with exit of EWC, are measures Entergy uses internally for management and board discussions and to gauge the overall strength of its business. Entergy believes the above data provides useful information to investors in evaluating Entergy's ongoing financial results and flexibility, and assists investors in comparing Entergy's credit and liquidity to the credit and liquidity of others in the utility sector. In addition, ROE is included on both an adjusted and an as-reported basis. Metrics defined as "adjusted" (other than EWC's adjusted EBITDA) exclude the effect of adjustments as defined above. EWC's adjusted EBITDA represents EWC's earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization, and also excludes decommissioning expense.
These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of Entergy's operations that, when viewed with Entergy's GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Entergy's business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be used to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Investors are strongly encouraged to review Entergy's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Although certain of these measures are intended to assist investors in comparing Entergy's performance to other companies in the utility sector, non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized; therefore, it might not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.
In this news release, and from time to time, Entergy Corporation makes certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding Entergy's 2022 earnings guidance; current financial and operational outlooks; industrial load growth outlooks; statements regarding its climate transition and resilience plans, goals, beliefs, or expectations; and other statements of Entergy's plans, beliefs, or expectations included in this news release. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this news release. Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, Entergy undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

OCF decreased quarter-over-quarter due to several drivers, including higher Utility fuel and purchased power payments, the wind-down of EWC, higher Utility other O&M spending, and higher Utility refueling outage spending. These decreases were partially offset by higher Utility customer receipts and lower pension contributions.
Appendix B-1 and Appendix B-2 provide details of current quarter and year-to-date 2022 versus 2021 as-reported and adjusted earnings per share variances for Utility, Parent & Other, and EWC.

EPS effect is calculated by multiplying the pre-tax variance by the estimated income tax rate that is expected to apply and dividing by diluted average number of common shares outstanding for the prior period; income taxes–other represents income tax differences other than the tax effect of individual line items. |
(f) |
The third quarter and year-to-date variances reflected favorable volume, including the effects of weather. Variances also reflect regulatory actions including E-AR's FRP; E-LA's FRP, including riders; E-MS's FRP; E-NO's FRP; and E-TX's TCRF and DCRF. The variances also included third quarter 2022 and third quarter 2021 regulatory credits at |
(g) |
The third quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases were due largely to the shutdown of Palisades in May 2022. The year-to-date variance also reflected the shutdown of Indian Point 3 in April 2021. |
(h) |
The third quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from higher Utility other O&M were due primarily to higher power delivery expenses, including higher vegetation management costs, higher nuclear generation expenses, higher compensation and benefits costs, higher bad debt expense, higher energy efficiency costs, and higher customer service center support costs. Also contributing was a $15M pre-tax gain on sale recorded in third quarter 2021 (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). The year-to-date variance also included higher legal expenses and an increase in loss provisions, partially offset by higher nuclear insurance refunds. |
(i) |
The third quarter and year-to-date earnings increases from lower EWC other O&M were due largely to the shutdown of Palisades in May 2022. The year-to-date variance was also due to the shutdown of Indian Point 3 in April 2021. |
(j) |
The third quarter and year-to-date earnings increases from lower EWC decommissioning expense were due primarily to the sale of Palisades in June 2022. The year-to-date variance also reflected the sale of Indian Point in May 2021. |
(k) |
The third quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from higher Utility depreciation expense were due primarily to higher plant in service. |
(l) |
The third quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from lower Utility other income (deductions) were largely due to changes in decommissioning trust fund returns (based on regulatory treatment, decommissioning-related variances are largely earnings neutral). This was partially offset by higher intercompany dividend income related to the affiliate preferred investments (offset in P&O). The year-to-date variance also reflected two items that were recorded in second quarter 2022 as a result of E-LA securitization: a $32 million reduction to interest and investment income (loss) was recorded to account for LURC's 1% beneficial interest in the trust established as part of the securitization (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings); and an adjustment to AFUDC-equity for the approved equity component of carrying costs on 2020 storms not previously recorded (the portion relating to prior years was considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). The year-to-date variance was partially offset by the recognition of carrying costs primarily related to Hurricane Ida and deferred fuel balances. |
(m) |
The third quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from Parent & Other other income (deductions) was due largely to the effects of affiliate preferred investments (offset in Utility). |
(n) |
The third quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from higher Utility interest expense was due primarily to higher debt balances. |
(o) |
The third quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from EWC income taxes were due largely to the accrual of an uncertain tax position as a result of a state tax audit in third quarter 2022. |
(p) |
The year-to-date earnings increase from lower EWC nuclear refueling outage expense was due to the shutdown of Indian Point 3 in April 2021 and Palisades in May 2022. |
(q) |
The year-to-date earnings increase from lower EWC asset write-offs and impairments was due largely to two items. In second quarter 2022, a $166 million gain ($130 million after-tax) was recorded as a result of the sale of Palisades. In second quarter 2021, a $340 million loss ($268 million after-tax) was recorded as a result of the sale of Indian Point. |
(r) |
The year-to-date earnings decrease from higher Utility taxes other than income taxes was due to increases in ad valorem, franchise, and employment taxes. |
(s) |
The year-to-date earnings increase from lower EWC depreciation expense was due primarily to the shutdown of Indian Point 3 in April 2021 and Palisades in May 2022. |
(t) |
The year-to-date earnings decrease from lower EWC other income (deductions) was due largely to the absence of earnings from nuclear decommissioning trust funds that were transferred in the sale of Indian Point in May 2021 and the performance of Palisades decommissioning trust investments, partially offset by lower non-service pension costs. |
(u) |
The year-to-date earnings decrease from higher Parent & Other interest expense was due primarily to higher interest rates and intercompany guarantee activity. |
(v) |
The year-to-date earnings increase from Utility income taxes was due largely to a second quarter 2022 $283 million income tax benefit related to securitization financing of Hurricane Laura, Hurricane Delta, Hurricane Zeta, Winter Storm Uri, and a portion of Hurricane Ida (this item was considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). Various smaller income tax items also contributed. |
(w) |
The year-to-date earnings per share impacts from share effect were due to shares sold under the company's ATM program. |

The effects of weather were estimated using heating degree days and cooling degree days for the period from certain locations within each jurisdiction and comparing to "normal" weather based on 20-year historical data. The models used to estimate weather are updated periodically and are subject to change. |
For the quarter, retail sales volume increased across all customer classes, largely due to prior year Hurricane Ida impacts. The increase in industrial usage was due to an increase in demand from new and expansion projects, primarily in the chemicals, petroleum refining, and transportation industries, and an increase in demand from small industrial and cogeneration customers.
