Operating Activities

Net cash flow provided by operating activities decreased $50.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to:

•the timing of recovery of fuel and purchased power costs and higher fuel and purchased power payments.  See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery;

•an increase of $12.9 million in interest paid;

•an increase of $10.3 million in storm spending; and

•lower collections from customers.

Investing Activities

Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $663.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to:

•money pool activity;

•an increase of $386.2 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending on the Legend Power Station project, the Orange County Advanced Power Station project, and the Lone Star Power Station project;

•an increase of $30.1 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

•an increase of $16 million in distribution construction expenditures primarily due to higher capital expenditures as a result of increased development in Entergy Texas’s service territory, partially offset by lower capital expenditures for storm restoration in 2025.

The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $17.3 million in information technology capital expenditures primarily due to decreased spending on technology upgrade projects in 2025 and cash collateral of $12.7 million posted in 2024 to support Entergy Texas’s obligation to MISO.
