**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):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• resolution of pending and future rate cases and related litigation, formula rate proceedings and related negotiations, including various performance-based rate discussions, Entergy's utility supply plan, and recovery of fuel and purchased power costs, as well as delays in cost recovery resulting from these proceedings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulatory and operating challenges and uncertainties and economic risks associated with the Utility operating companies' participation in MISO, including the benefits of continued MISO participation, the effect of current or projected MISO market rules, market design and market and system conditions in the MISO markets, the allocation of MISO system transmission upgrade costs, delays in developing or interconnecting new generation or other resources or other adverse effects arising from the volume of requests in the MISO transmission interconnection queue, which delays or other adverse effects may be exacerbated by significant current and expected load growth, the MISO-wide base rate of return on equity allowed or any MISO-related charges and credits required by the FERC, and the effect of planning decisions that MISO makes with respect to future transmission investments by the Utility operating companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in utility regulation, including, with respect to retail and wholesale competition, the ability to recover net utility assets and other potential stranded costs, including those capital investments associated with unrealized customer growth expectations (including data center customers), and the application of more stringent return on equity criteria, transmission reliability requirements, or market power criteria by the FERC or the U.S. Department of Justice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the regulation or regulatory oversight of Entergy's owned or operated nuclear generating facilities, nuclear materials and fuel, and the effects of new or existing safety or environmental concerns regarding nuclear power plants and fuel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• resolution of pending or future applications, as well as regulatory proceedings and litigation, relating to generation, transmission, or other facilities (including license modifications or other authorizations for nuclear generating facilities) and the effect of public and political opposition on these applications, regulatory proceedings, and litigation, including without limitation opposition to the employment of technologies to capture, transport, and store carbon dioxide from gas plants, land use opposition to new solar facilities and transmission lines, and land use and other environmental opposition to wind turbines;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the performance of and deliverability of power from Entergy's generation resources, including the capacity factors at Entergy's nuclear generating facilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• variations in weather and the occurrence of hurricanes and other storms and disasters, including uncertainties associated with efforts to remediate the effects of hurricanes, ice storms, floods, wildfires, or other weather events and the recovery of costs associated with restoration, including the ability to access funded storm reserves, federal and local cost recovery mechanisms, securitization, and insurance, as well as any related unplanned outages;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• effects of climate change, including the potential for increases in the frequency or severity of extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, heat waves, floods, drought or wildfires, and rising sea levels or coastal land and wetland loss, and Entergy's ability to effectively prepare for such effects and events, including through accelerated resilience plans and projects, and any challenges in execution thereof and/or in obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals for appropriate scope and timing of such plans and projects now and in the future;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the risk that as a result of Entergy's membership in Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL), an incident at a NEIL member-insured nuclear generation facility could lead to a significant retrospective assessment;

<u>Operating Revenues</u>

Utility

Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the second quarter 2025 to the second quarter 2024:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Amount** |
| | (In Millions) |
| 2024 operating revenues | $2941 |
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | 297 |
| Retail electric price | 60 |
| Volume/weather | 18 |
| **2025 operating revenues** | **$3316** |

---

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 retail electric price variance is primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase in Entergy Arkansas's formula rate plan rates effective January 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase in Entergy Louisiana's formula rate plan revenues, including an increase in the distribution recovery mechanism, effective September 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase in Entergy Mississippi's formula rate plan rates effective July 2024 and an increase in the interim facilities rate adjustment revenues effective January 2025; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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 Form 10-K for discussion of the regulatory proceedings discussed above.

The volume/weather variance is primarily due to an increase in weather-adjusted residential usage and an increase in industrial usage, partially offset by the effect of less favorable weather on residential sales. The increase in weather-adjusted residential usage is primarily due to an increase in customers. The increase in industrial usage is primarily due to an increase in demand from large industrial customers, primarily in the primary metals, chlor-alkali, and technology industries. The increased usage from these industrial customers has a relatively smaller effect on operating revenues because a larger portion of the revenues from these customers comes from fixed charges.

See Note 12 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of operating revenues.

<u>Other Income Statement Items</u>

Utility

Purchased power includes an increase in second quarter 2025 of $20 million in costs, at Entergy Texas, related to the procurement of capacity through MISO's annual planning resource auction, including the effect of a significant increase in MISO's seasonal auction clearing price, due to the implementation of a reliability-based demand curve, for capacity transactions during the summer months. Although Entergy Texas does not have the ability to recover its MISO capacity costs incurred to date beyond the level included in base rates, in June 2025, Texas legislation established a capacity cost recovery rider mechanism that would allow for the recovery of costs related to the procurement of capacity through MISO's annual planning resource auction outside of base rates, through a rider that is updated annually. Entergy Texas plans to file for such a rider to recover future capacity procurement costs at the earliest opportunity in 2026.

Other operation and maintenance expenses increased from $686 million for the second quarter 2024 to $713 million for the second quarter 2025 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $12 million in non-nuclear generation expenses primarily due to a higher scope of work performed during plant outages in 2025 as compared to 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $10 million in power delivery expenses primarily due to higher vegetation maintenance costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $9 million in bad debt expense;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $5 million in storm damage provisions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• several individually insignificant items.

The increase was partially offset by contract costs of $12 million, in second quarter 2024, related to operational performance, customer service, and organizational health initiatives and a decrease of $7 million in nuclear generation expenses primarily due to a lower scope of work performed in 2025 as compared to 2024.

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 second 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.

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Entergy Louisiana 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 regulatory charges of $150 million, recorded by Entergy Louisiana in second quarter 2024, to reflect the effects of an agreement in principle between Entergy Louisiana and the LPSC staff and the intervenors in July 2024 to renew Entergy Louisiana's formula rate plan and resolve a number of other retail dockets and matters, including all formula rate plan test years prior to 2023. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the Entergy Louisiana agreement in principle and the subsequently filed global stipulated settlement agreement. 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 increased primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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, each at Entergy Texas;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a $17 million true-up of Entergy Louisiana's MISO cost recovery mechanism over-recovery balance to the 2024 formula rate plan filing, which was filed with the LPSC in May 2025. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein for discussion of the 2024 formula rate plan filing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $9 million 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 decommissioning trust funds in second quarter 2024.

Interest expense increased primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuance by Entergy Louisiana of $700 million of 5.15% Series mortgage bonds in August 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuance by Entergy Louisiana of $750 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in January 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuance by Entergy Mississippi of $600 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuance by Entergy Texas of $500 million of 5.25% Series mortgage bonds in February 2025; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• carrying costs of $10 million in 2025 on customer advances for construction.

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, each at Entergy Texas.

Parent and Other

Other income (deductions) increased primarily due to a $317 million ($250 million net-of-tax) non-cash settlement charge recognized in second quarter 2024 as a result of a group annuity contract purchased in May 2024 to settle certain pension liabilities. See Note 11 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the group annuity contract and settlement charge.

<u>Income Taxes</u>

The effective income tax rate was 22.7% for the second quarter 2025. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the second 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 the allowance for equity funds used during construction and certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic4e4226ff138418890e5015ff3b6f94d_7)</u>

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

The effective income tax rate was 39.4% for the second quarter 2024. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the second quarter 2024 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the accrual for state income taxes, a provision for uncertain tax positions, and the amortization of accumulated deferred income taxes as a result of tax rate changes, 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.

Other operation and maintenance expenses increased from $1,367 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $1,376 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $13 million in non-nuclear generation expenses primarily due to a higher scope of work performed during plant outages in 2025 as compared to 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $12 million in bad debt expense;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $9 million in loss provisions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $8 million in storm damage provisions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $8 million in power delivery expenses primarily due to higher vegetation maintenance costs.

The increase was partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• contract costs of $24 million in 2024 related to operational performance, customer service, and organizational health initiatives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $12 million in nuclear generation expenses primarily due to a lower scope of work performed in 2025 as compared to 2024; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $7 million in compensation and benefits costs primarily due to a higher revision to estimated incentive-based compensation expense in 2025 as compared to 2024.

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

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 $28 million in depreciation expense in 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 Entergy Louisiana 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulatory charges of $150 million, recorded by Entergy Louisiana in second quarter 2024, to reflect the effects of an agreement in principle between Entergy Louisiana and the LPSC staff and the intervenors in July 2024 to renew Entergy Louisiana's formula rate plan and resolve a number of other retail dockets and matters, including all formula rate plan test years prior to 2023. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the Entergy Louisiana agreement in principle and the subsequently filed global stipulated settlement agreement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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 slightly primarily due to changes in decommissioning trust fund activity, including portfolio rebalancing of decommissioning trust funds in 2024, and a decrease of $9 million in affiliated dividend income from affiliated preferred membership interests related to storm cost securitization. The decrease was substantially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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, each at Entergy Texas;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $24 million in the amortization of tax gross ups on customer advances for construction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a $17 million true-up of Entergy Louisiana's MISO cost recovery mechanism over-recovery balance to the 2024 formula rate plan filing, which was filed with the LPSC in May 2025. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein for discussion of the 2024 formula rate plan filing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $17 million in interest earned on money pool investments.

Interest expense increased primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuance by Entergy Louisiana of $700 million of 5.15% Series mortgage bonds in August 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuance by System Energy of $300 million of 5.30% Series mortgage bonds in December 2024; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• carrying costs of $22 million in 2025 on customer advances for construction.

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, each at Entergy Texas.

Parent and Other

Other income (deductions) increased primarily due to a $317 million ($250 million net-of-tax) non-cash settlement charge recognized in second quarter 2024 as a result of a group annuity contract purchased in May 2024 to settle certain pension liabilities. See Note 11 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the group annuity contract and settlement charge.

<u>Income Taxes</u>

The effective income tax rate was 22.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 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 the allowance for equity funds used during construction and certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items.

The effective income tax rate was 29.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the accrual for state income taxes, the amortization of accumulated deferred income taxes as a result of tax rate changes, and a provision for uncertain tax positions, 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.

**<u>Income Tax Legislation and Regulation</u>**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - <u>Income Tax Legislation and Regulation</u>**" in the Form 10-K for discussion of income tax legislation and regulation. The following is an update to that discussion. See Note 10 to the financial statements herein for discussion of the nuclear production tax credits recorded in second quarter 2025.

**One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025**

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was enacted. The OBBBA is a wide ranging update to U.S. tax and spending policy. In particular, the OBBBA modified and extended various clean energy tax incentives relevant to electric utilities, preserving production tax credits under Internal Revenue Code section 45U for existing nuclear facilities through 2032 and generally maintaining the current law phase-out schedule for new nuclear and battery storage under Internal Revenue Code sections 45Y (clean electricity production credit) or Internal Revenue Code section 48E (clean electricity investment credit). In addition, the OBBBA preserved the tax credits for carbon capture and sequestration facilities that meet the requirements of Internal Revenue Code section 45Q. In contrast, the OBBBA significantly shortened the time period for solar and wind facilities to claim clean energy tax incentives. In general, solar and wind facilities must be placed in service by December 31, 2027 to qualify for the tax credits, unless construction begins by July 3, 2026, and certain safe harbor requirements are met.

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

On July 7, 2025, an executive order was issued directing the U.S. Treasury to issue, among other things, new safe harbor guidance, particularly with respect to wind and solar facilities. Any new guidance could impact Entergy's capital planning and expectations with respect to its planned solar and battery facilities.

In addition, the OBBBA adopted new foreign entity of concern (FEOC) rules designed to deny clean energy tax incentives to all clean energy projects beginning construction after December 31, 2025 that use equipment beyond statutory guidelines from prohibited foreign entities (entities with ties to China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea). The FEOC rules also deny these incentives to taxpayers that rely beyond certain thresholds on equity or debt from prohibited foreign entities or that make payments to prohibited foreign entity counterparties under contracts or licensing agreements that give such counterparties "effective control" over an eligible project. These taxpayer FEOC rules will apply to taxpayers in their first taxable year following enactment of the OBBBA. The July 7, 2025, executive order also instructed the U.S. Treasury to issue guidance on these new FEOC requirements.

The OBBBA also retained full transferability of all credits and preserved five-year Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System treatment for eligible Internal Revenue Code section 45Y and 48E assets.

The changes in law and federal energy policy reflected in the OBBBA could have a material effect on Entergy's current and future resource planning, including particularly solar and wind resources, and on its results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. Entergy may not be able to realize the anticipated benefits of federal tax credits for certain of its planned solar and battery facilities to the extent that these projects do not meet the safe harbor requirements set forth in the OBBBA. In addition, as the changes reflected in the OBBBA and anticipated related guidance disfavor certain renewable resource development as compared to prior law, Entergy may not be successful in achieving current or future carbon emission goals. Provisions of the OBBBA may also affect customer decisions relating to major new projects in Entergy's service area, to the extent that project economics or the achievement of customer sustainability objectives are affected by the changes in the OBBBA.

**<u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - <u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of Entergy's capital structure, capital spending plans and other uses of capital, and sources of capital. The following are updates to that discussion.

Recent announcements of changes to international trade policy and tariffs and further similar changes may impact Entergy's business, operations, results of operations, and liquidity and capital resources. Potential impacts may include increases in costs associated with Entergy's capital investments or operation 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.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 30,<br>2025** | **December 31,** <br>**2024** |
| Debt to capital | 64.9% | 65.3% |
| Effect of excluding securitization bonds | (0.2%) | (0.2%) |
| Debt to capital, excluding securitization bonds (non-GAAP) (a) | 64.7% | 65.1% |
| Effect of subtracting cash | (0.9%) | (0.7%) |
| Net debt to net capital, excluding securitization bonds (non-GAAP) (a) | 63.8% | 64.4% |

---

(a)Calculation excludes the Texas securitization bonds, which are non-recourse to Entergy Texas.

As of June 30, 2025, 18.6% of the debt outstanding is at the parent company, Entergy Corporation, and 81.4% is at the Utility segment. 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 2030. 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 six months ended June 30, 2025, the estimated interest rate as of June 30, 2025 that would have been applied to outstanding borrowings under the facility was 5.93%. The following is a summary of the amounts outstanding and capacity available under the credit facility as of June 30, 2025:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Capacity** | **Borrowings** | **Letters<br>of Credit** | **Capacity<br>Available** |
| (In Millions) | (In Millions) | (In Millions) | (In Millions) |
| $3000 | $— | $4 | $2996 |

---

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 June 30, 2025, Entergy Corporation had $459 million of commercial paper outstanding. The weighted-average interest rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 4.65%.

<u>Equity Issuances and Equity Distribution Program</u>

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - <u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u> - Sources of Capital -** <u>Equity Issuances and Equity Distribution Program</u>" 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 are updates 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.

In May 2025, Entergy physically settled all of its obligations under certain of its then-outstanding forward sale agreements under its at the market equity distribution program for cash proceeds of $806 million. See Note 3 to the financial statements herein for discussion of the forward sale agreements and common stock issuances and sales under the equity distribution program.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $8200 | $11320 | $10070 |

---

The updated capital plan for 2025-2027 reflects incremental capital investments for potential generation projects. The capital plan includes amounts Entergy plans to spend on routine capital projects that are necessary to support reliability of its service, equipment, or systems and to support normal customer growth. In addition to routine capital projects, the capital plan also includes amounts Entergy plans to spend on non-routine capital investments for which Entergy is either contractually obligated, has Board approval, or otherwise expects to make to satisfy regulatory or legal requirements. Amounts include the following types of construction and capital investments:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• investments in generation projects to modernize, decarbonize, expand, and diversify Entergy's portfolio, as well as to support customer growth, including Lake Catherine Unit 5, Jefferson Power Station, Bayou Power Station, Delta Blues Advanced Power Station, Delta Solar, Penton Solar, Orange County Advanced Power Station, Lone Star Power Station, Segno Solar, Votaw Solar, and potential construction of additional generation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• investments in the Utility nuclear fleet;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• transmission spending to improve reliability and resilience while also supporting renewables expansion and customer growth; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• distribution and Utility support spending to improve reliability, resilience, and customer experience through projects focused on asset renewals and enhancements and grid stability.

<u>Renewables</u>

2021 Solar Certification and the Geaux Green Option

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in November 2021, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC seeking certification of and approval for the addition of four new solar photovoltaic resources with a combined nameplate capacity of 475 megawatts (the 2021 Solar Portfolio) and the implementation of a new green tariff, the Geaux Green Option (Rider GGO). The 2021 Solar Portfolio consists of four resources which include (i) the Vacherie Facility, a 150 megawatt resource in St. James Parish; (ii) the Sunlight Road Facility, a 50 megawatt resource in Washington Parish; (iii) the St. Jacques Facility, a 150 megawatt resource in St. James Parish; and (iv) the Elizabeth Facility, a 125 megawatt resource in Allen Parish. The St. Jacques Facility would be acquired through a build-own-transfer agreement; the remaining resources involve power purchase agreements. The Sunlight Road Facility and the Elizabeth Facility each achieved commercial operation in 2024, and the Vacherie Facility and the St. Jacques Facility originally had estimated in service dates in 2025.

In August 2022 the parties reached a settlement certifying the 2021 Solar Portfolio and approving implementation of Rider GGO. In September 2022 the LPSC approved the settlement. Following the LPSC

approval, the St. James Parish council issued a moratorium on new land use permits for solar facilities until the later of March 2023 or the completion of an environmental and economic impact study. In November 2023, St. James Parish lifted the moratorium and adopted an ordinance modifying the parish's land use plan to establish solar as an approved land use and defining corresponding solar regulations. In March 2024 the project developer submitted a solar energy facility farm permit application to the St. James Parish planning commission to request approval for the Vacherie and St. Jacques Facilities. In June 2024 the St. James Parish council denied the application and following this denial, the project developer and one of the project's ground lessors filed separate lawsuits seeking to overturn the council's decision. The council's decision was subsequently affirmed by the Louisiana 23rd Judicial District Court. Entergy Louisiana is no longer pursuing the addition of resources through an acquisition of the St. Jacques Facility or through a power purchase agreement with the Vacherie Facility.

Segno Solar and Votaw Solar

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in July 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 Segno Solar facility, a 170 MW solar facility to be located in Polk County, Texas, and the Votaw Solar facility, a 141 MW solar facility to be located in Hardin County, Texas. In July 2025, Entergy Texas filed, and the ALJs with the State Office of Administrative Hearings granted, an unopposed motion to abate this proceeding to give the parties to the proceeding additional time for settlement discussions.

<u>Other Generation and Transmission</u>

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. In May 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed a motion for clarification concerning the appropriate calculation of the benchmark. Entergy Arkansas will have the opportunity to later present all actual costs to the APSC for review and a prudence determination, including costs incremental to the benchmark. The facility is expected to be in service by the end of 2028.

Jefferson Power Station

Entergy Arkansas expects to file an application with the APSC in third quarter 2025 seeking a certificate of environmental compatibility and public need for the construction and operation of Jefferson Power Station, an approximately 754 MW natural gas-fired combined cycle combustion turbine facility. Subject to receipt of required regulatory approval and other conditions, the facility is expected to be in service by the end of 2029.

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 February 2025, Entergy Louisiana filed supplemental testimony with the LPSC stating that the third combined cycle combustion turbine resource presented in the October 2024 application would be sited at Entergy Louisiana's Waterford site in Killona, Louisiana, alongside existing Entergy Louisiana generation resources. The testimony also notes that Entergy Louisiana is negotiating with the customer in response to the customer's request to increase the load associated with its project in north Louisiana. The testimony indicates further that the additional load can be served without additional generation capacity beyond what was presented in the October 2024 application, but that additional transmission facilities, which will be funded directly by the customer, are needed to serve this additional load.

In April 2025 and May 2025 the LPSC staff and certain intervenors each filed their direct testimony and cross-answering testimony, respectively. The LPSC staff's testimony discussed the significant projected benefits associated with the data center project; however, both the LPSC staff and such intervenors also identified purported risks associated with constructing the requested resources based on the terms and conditions under which the customer would be taking service. Both the LPSC staff and such intervenors also recommended that the LPSC impose certain conditions on its approval which, if adopted, would support approval of Entergy Louisiana's application. The LPSC staff's recommendations included 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 recommended 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 advocated 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. In May 2025, Entergy Louisiana filed its rebuttal testimony responding to the direct and cross-answering testimony of the LPSC staff and intervenors. The rebuttal testimony expressed support for or no opposition to the LPSC's adoption of certain of the proposed recommendations and identified why other proposed recommendations should not be adopted. In addition, the rebuttal testimony stated that the negotiations related to the increase in the load amount for the customer's project had concluded and that a rider to the electric service agreement reflecting this increase had been executed. In advance of the July 2025 hearing, Entergy Louisiana reached a settlement agreement with the

LPSC staff and three separate intervenors. The hearing concluded and the matter is currently under consideration by the ALJ.

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 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 or minimum bill revenues 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. In June 2025, Entergy Louisiana filed rebuttal testimony. The hearing is set for August 2025, and an LPSC decision is expected in fourth quarter 2025.

Entergy Mississippi New Advanced Power Station

Entergy Mississippi plans to construct, own, and operate a 754 MW combined cycle combustion turbine facility to be located in the City of Ridgeland, Madison County, Mississippi. The facility will be powered primarily by natural gas, and it will also be enabled for future carbon capture and storage and for hydrogen co-firing optionality. The project is expected to cost in excess of $1 billion. The facility is expected to be in service in 2029.

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, originally expected to be located in Liberty County, Texas. In March 2025, Entergy Texas filed testimony explaining that Entergy Texas planned to move forward with building the Lone Star Power Station on a more cost-effective alternative site in San Jacinto 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 were filed in May 2025. In June 2025 the ALJs with the State Office of Administrative Hearings issued a proposal for decision, in which they recommended rejection of Entergy Texas's application to construct the Legend Power Station and the Lone Star Power Station based upon their finding that Entergy Texas did not demonstrate the resources to be cost-effective alternatives to address the uncontested need for additional generation. In the alternative, the ALJs recommended that if the PUCT approves the resources, that conditions be imposed, including a deferral of the finding that the resources were prudently selected until Entergy Texas's next rate case, a prudence review by an external consultant if actual project costs exceed estimated costs by more than 10%, weatherization requirements, and a requirement that Entergy Texas obtain additional regulatory approvals prior to implementing hydrogen co-firing or carbon capture and storage. The ALJs' proposal for decision is an interim step in the certification process, and it is not binding upon the PUCT. Entergy Texas filed exceptions in July 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.

Southeast Texas Area Reliability Project (SETEX)

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. A hearing on the merits was held in May 2025. In July 2025 the ALJs with the State Office of Administrative Hearings issued a proposal for decision recommending the PUCT approve Entergy Texas's application to construct SETEX and recommending the PUCT's approval include selection of a specific route with an estimated cost of $1.4 billion. A PUCT decision is expected in third quarter 2025. Subject to receipt of required regulatory approval and other conditions, construction of the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2029.

Cypress to Legend 500 kV Transmission Line

In May 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. The transmission line is expected to be approximately 40 to 49 miles in length and the estimated cost of the project ranges from $392.7 million to $436.2 million, depending on the route ultimately approved by the PUCT. In June 2025 the PUCT referred the proceeding to the State Office of Administrative Hearings and the ALJs with the State Office of Administrative Hearings adopted a procedural schedule with a hearing on the merits to be held in mid-August 2025. A PUCT decision is expected in fourth quarter 2025. Subject to receipt of required regulatory approval and other conditions, construction of the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2028.

|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| | (In Millions) | (In Millions) |
| Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period | $860 | $133 |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Operating activities | 1798 | 1546 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Investing activities | (3741) | (2466) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Financing activities | 2259 | 2142 |

| Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | $1176 | $1355 |

---

<u>Operating Activities</u>

Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $252 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the receipt of $313 million in advance payments related to customer agreements in 2025, which are recorded as current liabilities and included within changes in other working capital accounts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• higher collections from Utility customers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the timing of payments to vendors.

The increase was partially offset by higher fuel and purchased power payments and an increase of $115 million in interest paid. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $1,275 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $1,196 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending by Entergy Arkansas on the Lake Catherine Unit 5 project, by Entergy Louisiana on new generation resources in north Louisiana, by Entergy Mississippi on the Delta Blues Advanced Power Station project, the Penton Solar project, and other non-nuclear generation projects, and by Entergy Texas on the Orange County Advanced Power Station project, the Legend Power Station project, and the Lone Star Power Station project;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $258 million in distribution construction expenditures primarily due to increased investment in the resilience of the Utility distribution system;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $116 million in transmission construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending by Entergy Louisiana on the Commodore transmission projects and increased spending on various other transmission projects in 2025; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $54 million in nuclear construction expenditures primarily due to increased spending on various nuclear projects in 2025.

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

The increase was partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the initial payment of approximately $170 million in February 2024 for the purchase of the Walnut Bend Solar facility by Entergy Arkansas;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $101 million in information technology capital expenditures primarily due to decreased spending on technology upgrade projects in 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• net receipts from storm reserve escrow accounts of $37 million in 2025 compared to payments to storm reserve escrow accounts of $10 million in 2024; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $32 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.

See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the Walnut Bend Solar facility purchase.

<u>Financing Activities</u>

Net cash flow provided by financing activities increased $117 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $805 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock under the at the market equity distribution program in 2025. There were no issuances of common stock under the at the market equity distribution program in 2024; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $371 million in net customer advances for construction related to transmission, distribution, and generator interconnection agreements.

The increase was partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• long-term debt activity providing approximately $1,918 million of cash in 2025 compared to providing approximately $2,688 million of cash in 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $246 million in net repayments of commercial paper in 2025 as compared to 2024; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $34 million in common stock dividends paid in 2025 as a result of an increase in the dividend paid per share in 2025 as compared to 2024.

See Note 3 to the financial statements herein and Note 7 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of Entergy Corporation's at the market equity distribution program. 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.

**Federal Regulation**

See Note 2 to the financial statements herein for updates to the discussion in the Form 10-K regarding federal regulatory proceedings.

**<u>Market and Credit Risk Sensitive Instruments</u>**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – <u>Market and Credit Risk Sensitive Instruments</u>**" 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 June 30, 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.

**<u>Nuclear Matters</u>**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – <u>Nuclear Matters</u>**" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of nuclear matters. The following is an update to that discussion.

**NRC Reactor Oversight Process**

The NRC's Reactor Oversight Process is a program to collect information about plant performance, assess the information for its safety significance, and provide for appropriate licensee and NRC response. The NRC evaluates plant performance by analyzing two distinct inputs: inspection findings resulting from the NRC's inspection program and performance indicators reported by the licensee. The evaluations result in the placement of each plant in one of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process Action Matrix columns: "licensee response column," or Column 1, "regulatory response column," or Column 2, "degraded cornerstone column," or Column 3, "multiple/repetitive degraded cornerstone column," or Column 4, and "unacceptable performance," or Column 5. Plants in Column 1 are subject to normal NRC inspection activities. Plants in Column 2, Column 3, or Column 4 are subject to progressively increasing levels of inspection by the NRC with, in general, progressively increasing levels of associated costs. Continued plant operation is not permitted for plants in Column 5. All of the nuclear generating plants owned and operated by Entergy's Utility business are currently in Column 1, except Waterford 3, which is in Column 2.

In June 2025 the NRC placed Waterford 3 in Column 2, effective second quarter 2025, based on the failure to properly develop and implement adequate maintenance instructions for the fuel linkage connection to the mechanical governor for an emergency diesel generator. Waterford 3 will remain in Column 2 until a supplemental inspection is satisfactorily completed.

**<u>New Accounting Pronouncements</u>**

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. In April 2025 the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ordered the litigation to be held in abeyance and directed the SEC to indicate within 90 days whether the SEC would reconsider or review the climate disclosure rules. In July 2025 the SEC submitted a status report to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit stating that it does not intend to review or reconsider its final rules at this time and requesting that the Court of Appeals terminate the abeyance and proceed with its judicial review of the case. Entergy will continue to monitor developments related to the SEC's final rules on climate-related disclosures.

**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.

**<u>Vidalia Purchased Power Agreement</u>**

See Note 8 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for information on Entergy Louisiana's Vidalia purchased power agreement.

**<u>Spent Nuclear Fuel Litigation</u>**

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.

**<u>Grand Gulf-Related Agreements</u>**

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.

**<u>Exclusivity Agreement with Major Vendor</u>**

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.

Cancellation or failure to purchase the minimum commitment amounts will result in a charge. If any of the Utility operating companies 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 all or a portion of the agreement. In the event of such termination, 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.

**Fuel and purchased power cost recovery**

<u>Entergy Arkansas</u>

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 "**<u>Retail Rate Proceedings</u> - Filings with the APSC (Entergy Arkansas) -** <u>Retail Rates</u> - 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.

<u>Entergy Louisiana</u>

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 LPSC accepted the report in June 2025.

<u>Entergy Texas</u>

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in September 2024, Entergy Texas filed an application with the PUCT to reconcile its fuel and purchased power costs for the period from April 2022 through March 2024. During the reconciliation period, Entergy Texas incurred approximately $1.6 billion in eligible fuel and purchased power expenses to generate and purchase electricity to serve its customers, net of certain revenues credited to such expenses and other adjustments. Entergy Texas's cumulative under-recovery balance for the reconciliation period was approximately $30 million, including interest, which Entergy Texas requested authority to carry over as part of the cumulative fuel balance for the subsequent reconciliation period beginning April 2024. In November 2024 the PUCT referred the proceeding to the State Office of Administrative Hearings. In March 2025, Texas Industrial Energy Consumers, an intervenor, filed testimony regarding the recovery of capacity costs for a certain power purchase agreement, arguing the capacity costs should be imputed and treated as non-reconcilable fuel expense, recovered in Entergy Texas's base rates. In April 2025 the PUCT staff filed testimony and later in April 2025, Entergy Texas filed rebuttal testimony. In May 2025, Entergy Texas filed, and the ALJ with the State Office of Administrative Hearings granted, a request for a paper hearing and to cancel the oral hearing on the merits previously scheduled for later in May 2025. In June 2025, Entergy Texas filed, and the ALJ with the State Office of Administrative Hearings granted, a joint motion to abate the proceeding to give the parties to the proceeding additional time to finalize a settlement.

2025 Formula Rate Plan Filing

In July 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed with the APSC its 2025 formula rate plan filing to set its formula rate for the 2026 calendar year. The filing contained an evaluation of Entergy Arkansas's earnings for the 2026 projected year and a netting adjustment for the 2024 historical year. The filing showed that Entergy Arkansas's earned rate of return on common equity for the 2026 projected year was 8.45% resulting in a revenue deficiency of $68.9 million. The earned rate of return on common equity for the 2024 historical year was 7.71% resulting in a $48.8 million netting adjustment. The total proposed revenue change for the 2026 projected year and 2024 historical year netting adjustment is $117.7 million. By operation of the formula rate plan, Entergy Arkansas's recovery of the revenue requirement is subject to a four percent annual revenue constraint. Because Entergy Arkansas's revenue requirement in this filing exceeded the constraint, the resulting increase was limited to $92.3 million. Entergy Arkansas proposed a procedural schedule that includes a hearing in November 2025 and requests an APSC order in December 2025.

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 "**<u>Complaints Against System Energy</u> - 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 "**<u>Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities</u>** - **Fuel and purchased power cost recovery** - <u>Entergy Arkansas</u> - 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 had been issued. Credits to retail customers were completed in second quarter 2025, and the Grand Gulf credit rider was subsequently withdrawn.

2023 Formula Rate Plan Filing

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in August 2024, pursuant to the global stipulated settlement agreement approved by the LPSC also in August 2024, 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 were 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 "**<u>Storm Cost Recovery Filings with Retail Regulators</u>** – **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.

2024 Formula Rate Plan Filing

In May 2025, Entergy Louisiana filed its formula rate plan evaluation report for its 2024 calendar year operations. Consistent with the global stipulated settlement agreement approved by the LPSC in August 2024, the filing reflected a 9.7% allowed return on common equity with a bandwidth of 40 basis points above and below the

Notes to Financial Statements

midpoint. For the test year 2024, however, any earnings above the allowed return on common equity are to be returned to customers through a credit, pursuant to the terms of the global stipulated settlement agreement. The 2024 test year evaluation produced an earned return on common equity of 9.98%, which is within the approved formula rate plan bandwidth, but above the allowed return on common equity, resulting in a customer credit of $31.9 million to be returned to customers during September and October 2025.

Other changes in formula rate plan revenue are driven by higher nuclear depreciation rates, additions to transmission and distribution plant in service reflected through the transmission recovery mechanism and distribution recovery mechanism, and the expiration of customer credits related to the LPSC's order, offset by increased customer credits resulting from an increase in net MISO revenues reflected through the MISO cost recovery mechanism and the reduction in the Louisiana corporate income tax rate effective January 1, 2025, reflected through the tax adjustment mechanism, as discussed below. Excluding the customer credit for earnings above the authorized return on common equity discussed above, the net result of these changes on an annualized basis is a $2 million increase in formula rate plan revenue.

As noted above, the 2024 evaluation report included the effects of the change in Louisiana state tax law that reduced the corporate income tax rate to a flat 5.5% (from the then-current highest marginal rate of 7.5%) effective January 1, 2025. As such, the 2024 evaluation report reflected the calculation of current and deferred income tax expenses as well as the revaluation of accumulated deferred income taxes based on the income tax laws currently in effect. The 2024 evaluation report proposes that the rate effects associated with the revaluation of accumulated deferred income taxes, including the collection of any net accumulated deferred income tax deficiency and any related effects on rate base, should be reflected in the tax adjustment mechanism consistent with the treatment of similar Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and prior state tax change-related impacts. The effects of the change in tax law on Entergy Louisiana's authorized return on rate base are also reflected in the 2024 evaluation report consistent with the treatment cited above, including a credit in the extraordinary cost change mechanism for the prospective change in Entergy Louisiana's authorized return and a credit within the tax adjustment mechanism for over-collection of income tax expense through August 2025.

<u>Additional Generation and Transmission Resources</u>

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.

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Financial Statements

In February 2025, Entergy Louisiana filed supplemental testimony with the LPSC stating that the third combined cycle combustion turbine resource presented in the October 2024 application would be sited at Entergy Louisiana's Waterford site in Killona, Louisiana, alongside existing Entergy Louisiana generation resources. The testimony also notes that Entergy Louisiana is negotiating with the customer in response to the customer's request to increase the load associated with its project in north Louisiana. The testimony indicates further that the additional load can be served without additional generation capacity beyond what was presented in the October 2024 application, but that additional transmission facilities, which will be funded directly by the customer, are needed to serve this additional load.

In April 2025 and May 2025 the LPSC staff and certain intervenors each filed their direct testimony and cross-answering testimony, respectively. The LPSC staff's testimony discussed the significant projected benefits associated with the data center project; however, both the LPSC staff and such intervenors also identified purported risks associated with constructing the requested resources based on the terms and conditions under which the customer would be taking service. Both the LPSC staff and such intervenors also recommended that the LPSC impose certain conditions on its approval which, if adopted, would support approval of Entergy Louisiana's application. The LPSC staff's recommendations included 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 recommended 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 advocated 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. In May 2025, Entergy Louisiana filed its rebuttal testimony responding to the direct and cross-answering testimony of the LPSC staff and intervenors. The rebuttal testimony expressed support for or no opposition to the LPSC's adoption of certain of the proposed recommendations and identified why other proposed recommendations should not be adopted. In addition, the rebuttal testimony stated that the negotiations related to the increase in the load amount for the customer's project had concluded and that a rider to the electric service agreement reflecting this increase had been executed. In advance of the July 2025 hearing, Entergy Louisiana reached a settlement agreement with the LPSC staff and three separate intervenors. The hearing concluded and the matter is currently under consideration by the ALJ.

<u>COVID-19 Orders</u>

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in April 2020 the LPSC issued an order authorizing utilities to record as a regulatory asset expenses incurred from the suspension of disconnections and collection of late fees imposed by LPSC orders associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2023, Entergy Louisiana filed an application proposing to utilize approximately $1.6 billion in certain low interest debt to generate earnings to apply toward the reduction of the COVID-19 regulatory asset, as well as to conduct additional outside right-of-way vegetation management activities and fund the minor storm reserve account. In that filing, Entergy Louisiana proposed to delay repayment of certain shorter-term first mortgage bonds that were issued to finance storm restoration costs until the costs could be securitized, and to invest the funds that otherwise would be used to repay those bonds in the money pool to take advantage of the spread between prevailing interest rates on investments in the money pool and the interest rates on the bonds. The LPSC approved Entergy Louisiana's requested relief in June 2023. In November 2024, Entergy Louisiana submitted a filing to the LPSC requesting that the LPSC review Entergy Louisiana's computation of the COVID-19 regulatory asset as well as Entergy Louisiana's proposal to offset the regulatory asset against the net interest earned on the short-term debt funds, resulting in no increased costs to customers. At the time of the filing, Entergy Louisiana had a regulatory asset of $47.8 million for costs associated

Notes to Financial Statements

with the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2025, Entergy Louisiana had a regulatory liability of $48.9 million for the deferred earnings related to the approximately $1.6 billion in low interest debt, which had been fully repaid by August 2024. In granting Entergy Louisiana's requested relief in June 2023, the LPSC ordered that any amount of earnings exceeding the amount of the COVID-19 regulatory asset be transferred to Entergy Louisiana's storm reserve escrow account. In May 2025 the LPSC staff filed direct testimony finding that Entergy Louisiana had complied with the relevant orders and recommending approval of the requested treatment. In June 2025, Entergy Louisiana and the LPSC staff filed a joint motion requesting a hearing for the admission of an uncontested stipulated settlement agreement in the matter. A settlement hearing took place in July 2025 and Entergy Louisiana expects the settlement to be considered at an upcoming meeting of the LPSC. The settlement terms provide for LPSC approval of Entergy Louisiana's calculation of the COVID-19 regulatory assets and Entergy Louisiana's proposal to offset the regulatory asset as described above and as proposed in Entergy Louisiana's November 2024 filing.

**Filings with the MPSC (Entergy Mississippi)**

<u>Retail Rates</u>

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 also to be within the formula rate plan bandwidth. The 2025 test year filing showed 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 proposed 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.

In June 2025, Entergy Mississippi and the Mississippi Public Utilities Staff entered into a joint stipulation that confirmed the 2025 test year filing, with the exception of immaterial adjustments to certain operation and maintenance expenses. The formula rate plan reflected an earned return on rate base of 7.68% for calendar year 2025, resulting in no change in formula rate plan revenues for 2025. Pursuant to the stipulation, Entergy Mississippi's 2024 look-back filing reflected an earned return on rate base of 7.55%, which also resulted in no change in formula rate plan revenues for 2024. In addition, the stipulation included the recovery of the two outside-the-bandwidth changes discussed above as well as the ratemaking treatment of customer contributions (deferred revenue and prepaid contributions in aid of construction). In June 2025 the MPSC approved the joint stipulation with rates effective in July 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.

**Filings with the City Council (Entergy New Orleans)**

<u>Retail Rates</u>

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% compared to the authorized return on equity of 9.35%. Without adjustments, this would result in a decrease in electric rates of $13.8 million. 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. The City Council's advisors issued their report in July 2025 seeking a reduction in Entergy New Orleans's requested electric formula rate plan revenues of approximately $7.2 million due to certain proposed cost realignments and disallowances, of which $4.1 million is associated with Entergy New Orleans's proposed implementation, on a revenue neutral basis, of a proposed reduction in customer late fees. The City Council's advisors also proposed rate mitigation in the amount of $4.4 million through offsets to the formula rate plan funded by certain regulatory liabilities. The City Council's advisors' report began a 35-day period to resolve any disputes among the parties regarding the formula rate plan. For any disputed rate adjustments, 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.

<u>Retail Rates</u>

Distribution Cost Recovery Factor (DCRF) Rider

In April 2025, Entergy Texas filed with the PUCT a request to amend its DCRF rider. The amended rider was 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 then-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. In June 2025 the PUCT approved the DCRF rider, consistent with Entergy Texas's as-filed request, and rates became effective on June 25, 2025.

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.

**<u>Entergy Arkansas Opportunity Sales Proceeding</u>**

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. In June 2025 the United States Supreme Court denied Entergy Arkansas's petition for certiorari.

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. In May 2025, Entergy Services filed a response to the formal challenge and is awaiting a response from the FERC.

**<u>Complaints Against System Energy</u>**

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 are updates 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 April 2025 the FERC accepted System Energy's tariff compliance filing.

**System Energy Settlement with the LPSC**

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in 2024, System Energy reached a settlement with the LPSC to globally resolve all of the LPSC's actual and potential claims in multiple docketed proceedings pending before the FERC (including all docketed proceedings resolved by the MPSC, the APSC, and the City Council settlements) and associated with System Energy's past implementation of the Unit Power Sales Agreement. In compliance with the settlement, in May 2025, System Energy, Entergy Louisiana, and Entergy Mississippi submitted the following filings with the FERC: (1) a Federal Power Act Section 203 application seeking approval for the permanent divestiture by Entergy Louisiana to Entergy Mississippi of its rights to capacity and energy from Grand Gulf; and (2) a Federal Power Act Section 205 application seeking approval to modify the entitlement percentages of the remaining purchasers under the Unit Power Sales Agreement in connection with the foregoing divestiture. In July 2025, the FERC issued an order accepting the Federal Power Act Section 205 application to remove Entergy Louisiana as a party to the Unit Power Sales Agreement. As a result of the order, the Unit Power Sales Agreement entitlement percentages of the remaining purchasers will be permanently modified to exclude Entergy Louisiana, to be effective beginning October 2025. The FERC also issued an order dismissing the Federal Power Act Section 203 application based on lack of jurisdiction.

**<u>Storm Cost Recovery Filings with Retail Regulators</u>**

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**

<u>Hurricane Francine</u>

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 June 2025 the LPSC staff filed direct testimony. The LPSC staff recommends approval of Entergy Louisiana's as-requested storm restoration costs with the exception of approximately $10.6 million, comprised primarily of estimates of mutual assistance invoices that have not yet been received at the time of filing and that ultimately exceeded the actual amounts invoiced, as well as certain incentive compensation, and $1.8 million associated with certain carrying costs. Entergy Louisiana's rebuttal testimony is due in August 2025 and a hearing is scheduled for November 2025.

Entergy Corporation incurred an aggregate amount of approximately $1.0 million of general issuance costs associated with the May 2025 settlement. Entergy Corporation used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which included repayment of commercial paper, outstanding loans under Entergy Corporation's revolving credit facility, and other debt.

<u>Equity Forward Sale Agreements</u>

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 June 30, 2025, Entergy would have been required to deliver 0.2 million shares.

**NOTE 4. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITIES, LINES OF CREDIT, SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS, AND LONG-TERM DEBT (Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy)**

Entergy Corporation has in place a credit facility that has a borrowing capacity of $3 billion and expires in June 2030. 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 six months ended June 30, 2025, the estimated interest rate as of June 30, 2025 that would have been applied to outstanding borrowings under the facility was 5.93%. The following is a summary of the amounts outstanding and capacity available under the credit facility as of June 30, 2025:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Capacity** | **Borrowings** | **Letters<br>of Credit** | **Capacity<br>Available** |
| (In Millions) | (In Millions) | (In Millions) | (In Millions) |
| $3000 | $— | $4 | $2996 |

---

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. Entergy is 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.

Entergy Corporation has a commercial paper program with a Board-approved program limit of $2 billion. As of June 30, 2025, Entergy Corporation had $459 million of commercial paper outstanding. The weighted-average interest rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 4.65%.

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Financial Statements

**<u>Registrant Subsidiaries</u>**

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 through June 30, 2025. See Note 13 to the financial statements herein for discussion of the sale of the Entergy New Orleans and Entergy Louisiana natural gas distribution businesses on July 1, 2025. 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 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.

**<u>Derivatives</u>**

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 June 30, 2025 is 9 months for Entergy Mississippi. The total volume of natural gas swaps outstanding as of June 30, 2025 is 9,493,000 MMBtu for Entergy and Entergy Mississippi. As of June 30, 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.

Notes to Financial Statements

During the second quarter 2025, Entergy participated in the annual financial transmission rights auction process for the MISO planning year of June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2026. 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 June 30, 2025 is 102,393 GWh for Entergy, including 20,804 GWh for Entergy Arkansas, 55,064 GWh for Entergy Louisiana, 11,361 GWh for Entergy Mississippi, 3,660 GWh for Entergy New Orleans, and 11,505 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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Letters of credit posted with MISO covered the financial transmission rights exposure for Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, and Entergy Texas as of June 30, 2025 and for Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, and Entergy Texas as of December 31, 2024.

(a)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.

**<u>Fair Values</u>**

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

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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The assessment of

**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 and six months ended June 30, 2025 on equity securities still held as of June 30, 2025 were $536 million and $513 million, respectively. 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.

The available-for-sale debt securities held as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are summarized as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| | (In Millions) | (In Millions) |
| Fair value | $2107 | $2047 |
| Unrealized gains | $20 | $7 |
| Unrealized losses | $60 | $80 |

---

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no deferred taxes on unrealized gains/(losses). The amortized cost of available-for-sale debt securities was $2,148 million as of June 30, 2025 and $2,121 million as of December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, available-for-sale debt securities had an average coupon rate of

**NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES (Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy)**

See "**<u>Income Tax Audits</u>**" and "**<u>Other Tax Matters</u>**" in Note 3 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of income tax audits, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and other income tax matters involving Entergy. The following are updates to that discussion.

**<u>Other Tax Matters</u>**

**Inflation Reduction Act of 2022**

As discussed in the Note 3 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K, the Inflation Reduction Act, signed into law on August 16, 2022, significantly expanded federal tax incentives for clean energy production, including the extension of production tax credits to solar projects and certain qualified nuclear power facilities. Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, and System Energy have the potential to generate zero-emission nuclear power production tax credits for electricity generated by their respective nuclear power facilities. Due to the uncertainty of the value, if any, of credits Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, or System Energy may receive, such credits for the nuclear power produced in 2024 were not recognized as of December 31, 2024.

In second quarter 2025, Entergy, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, and System Energy determined, based on current analysis and evolving regulatory developments, that it was appropriate to record zero-emission nuclear power production tax credits for electricity generated in 2024 by their respective nuclear power facilities and the credits are expected to be claimed on the Entergy 2024 federal income tax return. Because the U.S. Treasury and the IRS have not issued final guidance on the application of Internal Revenue Code section 45U, including the definition of "gross receipts," Entergy considers the tax position associated with these credits to be uncertain under the provisions of income tax accounting standards. As such, the recognition of the credits included a corresponding provision for uncertain tax positions for the full amount of the credits recognized.

The value of the credits was calculated based on the amount of electricity generated and sold by each nuclear generating unit owned by Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, and System Energy during 2024, multiplied by the applicable credit rate (i.e. dollars per kW). The applicable credit rate included the incremental amount of credit for meeting the "prevailing wages" criteria under the Inflation Reduction Act. Entergy also applied the statutorily required reduction amount in arriving at the value of the credits. This reduction amount was driven by the "Gross receipts" received by each unit for its 2024 energy production. Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, and System Energy recognized production tax credits of $221.4 million, $208.9 million, and $140.9 million, respectively, resulting in an Entergy consolidated production tax credit of $571.2 million. To the extent future guidance allows Entergy to realize the value of the credits under the provisions of income tax accounting standards, the monetized value of the credits are expected to be shared with customers.

Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, and System Energy expect to transfer the credits to third parties for cash (including a reasonable discount) prior to the filing of the Entergy 2024 federal income tax return. As such, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, System Energy, and the relevant affiliates are preparing or have submitted filings with the FERC and their respective retail regulators to determine a fair and reasonable approach, including risk sharing and timing, to incorporate the net cash proceeds received for these credits into future customer rates, particularly in light of the related provision for uncertain tax position. Entergy will continue to monitor developments and reassess its tax position as additional guidance or other information emerges.

**Sale of Natural Gas Distribution Businesses**

See Note 13 to the financial statements herein for discussion of the sale of Entergy New Orleans' and Entergy Louisiana's natural gas distribution businesses on July 1, 2025. Entergy is expected to recognize a gain of approximately $335 million for tax purposes, with Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans recognizing

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Financial Statements

$150 million and $185 million, respectively. Both Entergy and Entergy Louisiana have sufficient federal tax net operating loss carryforwards to offset their respective gains. Accordingly, Entergy does not have a resulting federal income tax obligation as a result of the transaction, nor will Entergy Louisiana be required to make a federal tax payment under the terms of the intercompany income tax allocation agreement. Entergy New Orleans is expected to fully absorb its federal tax net operating loss carryforward in 2025, and its resulting federal tax payment under the intercompany income tax allocation agreement will be dependent on its results of operations for the remainder of the year. Estimated state tax payments for Entergy, Entergy Louisiana, and Entergy New Orleans are not anticipated to be significant.

**NOTE 11. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES (Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy)**

(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.

**NOTE 13. HELD FOR SALE AND DISPOSITIONS (Entergy Corporation, Entergy Louisiana, and Entergy New Orleans)**

**<u>Natural Gas Distribution Businesses</u>**

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.

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 agreed to sell its regulated natural gas local distribution company business that serves customers in the Parish of Orleans, Louisiana, and Entergy Louisiana agreed to sell its regulated natural gas local distribution company business that serves customers in the Parish of East Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Entergy New Orleans and Entergy Louisiana natural gas distribution businesses are reflected in Entergy's Utility reportable segment and in the respective single reportable segment for each of Entergy New Orleans and Entergy Louisiana through June 30, 2025.

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 had 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 were satisfied or, where permissible, waived for both transactions. As described above, the transactions received all required regulatory approvals, and the Second Phase commenced on March 5, 2025.

The Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution businesses first met the criteria to be classified as held for sale in the quarter ended December 31, 2024, and continued to meet such criteria as of June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, neither Entergy Louisiana nor Entergy New Orleans had recognized any write downs of the natural gas distribution business assets as a result of their classification as held for sale, as neither sale was expected to result in a loss. The assets and liabilities of the Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution businesses classified as held for sale on Entergy's, Entergy Louisiana's, and Entergy New Orleans's consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 included the following amounts:

Notes to Financial Statements

(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Goodwill was allocated to the natural gas distribution business based on its relative fair value compared to the retained portion of the reporting unit.

(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Included within other current liabilities on the respective consolidated balance sheets.

(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Included within other non-current liabilities on the respective consolidated balance sheets.

Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans continued to recognize depreciation on the natural gas distribution businesses assets through June 30, 2025 since they received revenues through utility customer rates through the closing of the transaction, and because the final purchase price for the natural gas distribution businesses was adjusted by an amount equal to that depreciation, among other adjustments.

The pre-tax income for the Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution businesses, excluding interest and corporate allocations, included in Entergy's, Entergy Louisiana's, and Entergy New Orleans's consolidated income statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

On July 1, 2025, Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans completed the sale of their natural gas distribution businesses. The Entergy Louisiana natural gas distribution business was sold for a purchase price of $203 million and results in an expected gain of $12 million ($9 million net-of-tax), net of $20 million in transaction costs. The Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution business was sold for a purchase price of $288 million and results in an expected gain of $5 million ($4 million net-of-tax), net of $19 million in transaction costs. The sale of the natural gas distribution businesses results in an expected gain of $11 million ($6 million net-of-tax) for Entergy, which includes goodwill of $7 million that was attributed to the businesses sold and derecognized following the completion of the sale. Entergy New Orleans deferred $4 million of its respective gain as a regulatory liability, which will be amortized over three years beginning September 2026, to be shared with electric utility customers, as required by the City Council. The sale price is subject to a true-up related to the estimated value of assets and liabilities transferred, which may result in subsequent adjustments to the gain recorded in third quarter 2025. Additionally, as a result of the sale, in third quarter 2025, Entergy New Orleans expects to write-off $12 million of natural gas plant assets that were not included in the sale to Delta Capital Gas Company, LLC, and which will not be recovered. See Note 10 to the financial statements herein for discussion of the tax accounting effects of the sale.

________________

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.

See the "**<u>Market and Credit Risk Sensitive Instruments</u>**" section of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis.

**Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

<u>Disclosure Controls and Procedures</u>

As of June 30, 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.

<u>Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting</u>

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 June 30, 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**

**<u>Results of Operations</u>**

**Net Income**

<u>Second Quarter 2025 Compared to Second Quarter 2024</u>

Net income increased $3.8 million primarily due to higher volume/weather and higher retail electric price, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expenses, higher other operation and maintenance expenses, and higher interest expense.

<u>Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024</u>

Net income increased $122.6 million 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, 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**

<u>Second Quarter 2025 Compared to Second Quarter 2024</u>

Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the second quarter 2025 to the second quarter 2024:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Amount** |
| | (In Millions) |
| 2024 operating revenues | $608.8 |
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | 61.6 |
| Volume/weather | 14.1 |
| Retail electric price | 13.2 |
| **2025 operating revenues** | **$697.7** |

---

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 volume/weather variance is primarily due to an increase in industrial usage and an increase in weather-adjusted residential usage, partially offset by the effect of less 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. The increase in weather-adjusted residential usage is primarily due to an increase in customers.

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.

**Other Income Statement Variances**

<u>Second Quarter 2025 Compared to Second Quarter 2024</u>

Other operation and maintenance expenses increased primarily due to an increase of $7.1 million in non-nuclear generation expenses primarily due to a higher scope of work performed during plant outages in 2025 as compared to 2024.

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 increased primarily due to changes in decommissioning trust fund activity.

<u>Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024</u>

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 slightly primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• contract costs of $5.8 million in 2024 related to operational performance, customer service, and organizational health initiatives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $4.7 million in power delivery expenses primarily due to a lower scope of work performed in 2025 as compared to 2024; and

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $4.9 million in nuclear generation expenses primarily due to a lower scope of work performed in 2025 as compared to 2024.

The decrease was substantially offset by an increase of $12 million in non-nuclear generation expenses primarily due to a higher scope of work performed during plant outages in 2025 as compared to 2024.

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 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.

<u>Income Taxes</u>

The effective income tax rates were 20.6% for the second quarter 2025 and 20.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The differences in the effective income tax rates for the second quarter 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2025 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% were primarily due to the amortization of excess accumulated deferred income taxes as a result of tax rate changes 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 25.2% for the second quarter 2024. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the second quarter 2024 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the accrual for state income taxes and the amortization of accumulated deferred income taxes as a result of tax rate changes, 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 25.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the amortization of accumulated deferred income taxes as a result of tax rate changes 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.

<u>Operating Activities</u>

Net cash flow provided by operating activities decreased $86.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the receipt of $92 million in settlement proceeds in May 2024 as a result of the System Energy settlement with the APSC. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of the System Energy settlement agreement with the APSC;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the timing of payments to vendors.

The decrease was partially offset by higher collections from customers and a decrease of $14.6 million in spending on nuclear refueling outages in 2025 as compared to 2024.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

Net cash flow used in investing activities decreased $228.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the initial payment of approximately $169.7 million in February 2024 for the purchase of the Walnut Bend Solar facility. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the Walnut Bend Solar facility purchase;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• money pool activity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $27.7 million in information technology capital expenditures primarily due to decreased spending on technology upgrade projects in 2025; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $26.9 million in transmission construction expenditures primarily due to decreased spending on various transmission projects in 2025.

The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $50.8 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending on the Lake Catherine Unit 5 project and an increase of $36.3 million in distribution construction expenditures primarily due to higher capital expenditures for storm restoration in 2025.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Increases in Entergy Arkansas's receivable from the money pool are a use of cash flow, and Entergy Arkansas's receivable from the money pool increased $49 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to increasing by $130.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 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.

<u>Financing Activities</u>

Net cash flow provided by financing activities decreased $702 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** the issuances of $400 million of 5.45% Series mortgage bonds and $400 million of 5.75% Series mortgage bonds, each in May 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• capital contributions of approximately $695 million received from Entergy Corporation in 2024 to partially finance the acquisitions of the Walnut Bend Solar facility, the West Memphis Solar facility, and the Driver Solar facility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuance of $70 million of 5.54% Series O notes by the Entergy Arkansas nuclear fuel company variable interest entity in March 2024; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $32.5 million in advance payments from customers for construction related to transmission, distribution, and generator interconnection agreements.

The decrease was partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the repayment, at maturity, of $375 million of 3.70% Series mortgage bonds in June 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** the issuance of $300 million of 5.45% Series mortgage bonds in May 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• money pool activity; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• net long-term borrowings of $10.7 million in 2025 compared to net repayments of $70.2 million in 2024 on the nuclear fuel company variable interest entity's credit facility.

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 six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to decreasing by $145.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 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 Arkansas's debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 30,** <br>**2025** | **December 31,** <br>**2024** |
| Debt to capital | 54.1% | 53.6% |
| Effect of subtracting cash | (1.1%) | —% |
| Net debt to net capital (non-GAAP) | 53.0% | 53.6% |

---

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 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.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

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 - <u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**" 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.

Following are the current annual amounts of Entergy Arkansas's planned construction and other capital investments.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Utility Support | 105 | 50 | 40 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $1075 | $1700 | $1950 |

---

The updated capital plan for 2025-2027 reflects incremental capital investments for potential generation projects. In addition to routine capital spending to maintain operations, the capital plan includes investments in generation projects to modernize, decarbonize, expand, and diversify Entergy Arkansas's portfolio, as well as to support customer growth, including Lake Catherine Unit 5 and Jefferson Power Station; investments in ANO 1 and 2; distribution and Utility support spending to improve reliability, resilience, and customer experience; transmission spending to improve reliability and resilience while also supporting renewables expansion; and other investments.

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 operation 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.

Entergy Arkansas's receivables from or (payables to) the money pool were as follows:

Entergy Arkansas, LLC and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Entergy Arkansas has a credit facility in the amount of $300 million scheduled to expire in June 2030. Entergy Arkansas also has a $25 million credit facility scheduled to expire in April 2026. The $300 million credit facility includes fronting commitments for the issuance of letters of credit against $5 million of the borrowing capacity of the facility. As of June 30, 2025, there were no cash borrowings under either credit facility and no letters of credit outstanding under the $300 million credit facility. In addition, Entergy Arkansas is a party to two uncommitted letter of credit facilities as a means to post collateral to support its obligations to MISO. As of June 30, 2025, $23.6 million in letters of credit were outstanding under one of Entergy Arkansas's uncommitted letter of credit facilities. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the credit facilities.

The Entergy Arkansas nuclear fuel company variable interest entity has a credit facility in the amount of $80 million scheduled to expire in June 2027. As of June 30, 2025, there were $33.2 million in loans outstanding under the credit facility for the Entergy Arkansas nuclear fuel company variable interest entity. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for discussion of the nuclear fuel company variable interest entity credit facility.

<u>Lake Catherine Unit 5</u>

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. In May 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed a motion for clarification concerning the appropriate calculation of the benchmark. Entergy Arkansas will have the opportunity to later present all actual costs to the APSC for review and a prudence determination, including costs incremental to the benchmark. The facility is expected to be in service by the end of 2028.

<u>Jefferson Power Station</u>

Entergy Arkansas expects to file an application with the APSC in third quarter 2025 seeking a certificate of environmental compatibility and public need for the construction and operation of Jefferson Power Station, an approximately 754 MW natural gas-fired combined cycle combustion turbine facility. Subject to receipt of required regulatory approval and other conditions, the facility is expected to be in service by the end of 2029.

**<u>State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery</u>**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – <u>State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery</u>**" 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**

<u>2025 Formula Rate Plan Filing</u> 

In July 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed with the APSC its 2025 formula rate plan filing to set its formula rate for the 2026 calendar year. The filing contained an evaluation of Entergy Arkansas's earnings for the 2026

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

projected year and a netting adjustment for the 2024 historical year. The filing showed that Entergy Arkansas's earned rate of return on common equity for the 2026 projected year was 8.45% resulting in a revenue deficiency of $68.9 million. The earned rate of return on common equity for the 2024 historical year was 7.71% resulting in a $48.8 million netting adjustment. The total proposed revenue change for the 2026 projected year and 2024 historical year netting adjustment is $117.7 million. By operation of the formula rate plan, Entergy Arkansas's recovery of the revenue requirement is subject to a four percent annual revenue constraint. Because Entergy Arkansas's revenue requirement in this filing exceeded the constraint, the resulting increase was limited to $92.3 million. Entergy Arkansas proposed a procedural schedule that includes a hearing in November 2025 and requests an APSC order in December 2025.

<u>Grand Gulf Credit Rider</u>

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 "**<u>Complaints Against System Energy</u> - 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 had been issued. Credits to retail customers were completed in second quarter 2025, and the Grand Gulf credit rider was subsequently withdrawn.

**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 -** <u>Grand Gulf Credit Rider</u>" 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. In June 2025 the United States Supreme Court denied Entergy Arkansas's petition for certiorari.

**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.

In July 2025, Entergy Arkansas submitted a tariff filing with the APSC requesting approval of a strategic investment recovery rider, consistent with the provisions of Act 373. Entergy Arkansas requested the APSC issue an order approving the rider by October 2025. A procedural schedule has been established with a hearing in September 2025.

**ENTERGY LOUISIANA, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

**<u>Results of Operations</u>**

**Net Income**

<u>Second Quarter 2025 Compared to Second Quarter 2024</u>

Net income increased $169.1 million primarily due to expenses of $151.5 million ($110.7 million net-of-tax), recorded in second quarter 2024, primarily consisting of regulatory charges to reflect the effects of an agreement in principle between Entergy Louisiana and the LPSC staff and the intervenors in July 2024 to renew Entergy Louisiana's formula rate plan and resolve a number of other retail dockets and matters, including all formula rate plan test years prior to 2023. Also contributing to the increase was higher other income. The increase was partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expenses and higher interest expense. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the agreement in principle and the subsequently filed global stipulated settlement agreement.

<u>Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024</u>

Net income increased $240.5 million primarily due to expenses of $151.5 million ($110.7 million net-of-tax), recorded in second quarter 2024, primarily consisting of regulatory charges to reflect the effects of an agreement in principle between Entergy Louisiana and the LPSC staff and the intervenors in July 2024 to renew Entergy Louisiana's formula rate plan and resolve a number of other retail dockets and matters, including all formula rate plan test years prior to 2023. Also contributing to the increase were higher other income, higher volume/weather, and higher retail electric price. The increase was partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expenses and higher interest expense. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the agreement in principle and the subsequently filed global stipulated settlement agreement.

**Operating Revenues**

<u>Second Quarter 2025 Compared to Second Quarter 2024</u>

Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the second quarter 2025 to the second quarter 2024:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Amount** |
| | (In Millions) |
| 2024 operating revenues | $1276.1 |
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | 221.8 |
| Retail electric price | 11.6 |
| Volume/weather | 0.6 |
| **2025 operating revenues** | **$1510.1** |

---

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.

Entergy Louisiana, LLC and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

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. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for discussion of the 2023 formula rate plan proceeding.

The volume/weather variance is insignificant and primarily due to an increase in weather-adjusted residential usage and an increase in commercial and industrial usage, substantially offset by the effect of less favorable weather on residential sales. The increase in weather-adjusted residential usage and the increase in commercial usage are primarily due to an increase in customers. The increase in industrial usage is primarily due to an increase in demand from large industrial customers, primarily in the chlor-alkali and industrial gases industries. The increased usage from these industrial customers has a relatively smaller effect on operating revenues because a larger portion of the revenues from these customers comes from fixed charges.

Total electric energy sales for Entergy Louisiana for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

**Other Income Statement Variances**

<u>Second Quarter 2025 Compared to Second Quarter 2024</u>

Other operation and maintenance expenses increased slightly primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $6.9 million in non-nuclear generation expenses primarily due to a higher scope of work performed during plant outages in 2025 as compared to 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $3.3 million in power delivery expenses primarily due to higher vegetation maintenance costs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• several individually insignificant items.

The increase was substantially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $10.1 million in nuclear generation expenses primarily due to a lower scope of work performed in 2025 as compared to 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• contract costs of $4.4 million, in second quarter 2024, related to operational performance, customer service, and organizational health initiatives; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $4.4 million in energy efficiency expenses primarily due to the timing of recovery from customers, partially offset by higher energy efficiency costs.

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.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic4e4226ff138418890e5015ff3b6f94d_7)</u>

Entergy Louisiana, LLC and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Other regulatory charges (credits) - net includes regulatory charges of $150.2 million, recorded in second quarter 2024, to reflect the effects of an agreement in principle between Entergy Louisiana and the LPSC staff and the intervenors in July 2024 to renew Entergy Louisiana's formula rate plan and resolve a number of other retail dockets and matters, including all formula rate plan test years prior to 2023. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the agreement in principle and the subsequently filed global stipulated settlement agreement. In addition, Entergy Louisiana 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 increased primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a $17.1 million true-up of Entergy Louisiana's MISO cost recovery mechanism over-recovery balance to the 2024 formula rate plan filing, which was filed with the LPSC in May 2025. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein for discussion of the 2024 formula rate plan filing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase in the allowance for equity funds used during construction due to higher construction work in progress in 2025, including the projects for new generation resources in north Louisiana;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $6.9 million in the amortization of tax gross ups on customer advances for construction; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $5.4 million in interest earned on money pool investments.

The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $4.3 million in affiliated dividend income from affiliated preferred membership interests related to storm cost securitization.

Interest expense increased primarily due to the issuance of $700 million of 5.15% Series mortgage bonds in August 2024, the issuance of $750 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in January 2025, and carrying costs of $7.3 million in 2025 on customer advances for construction. 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.

<u>Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024</u>

Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $10.3 million in nuclear generation expenses primarily due to a lower scope of work performed, including during plant outages, in 2025 as compared to 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• contract costs of $8.8 million in 2024 related to operational performance, customer service, and organizational health initiatives; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $4.4 million in energy efficiency expenses primarily due to the timing of recovery from customers, partially offset by higher energy efficiency costs.

The decrease was partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $5.1 million in loss provisions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $4.5 million in non-nuclear power generation expenses primarily due to a higher scope of work performed during plant outages in 2025 as compared to 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $4.3 million in transmission costs allocated by MISO. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the recovery of these costs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• several individually insignificant items.

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 regulatory charges (credits) - net includes regulatory charges of $150.2 million, recorded in second quarter 2024, to reflect the effects of an agreement in principle between Entergy Louisiana and the LPSC staff and the intervenors in July 2024 to renew Entergy Louisiana's formula rate plan and resolve a number of other retail dockets and matters, including all formula rate plan test years prior to 2023.

See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the agreement in principle and the subsequently filed global stipulated settlement agreement.

Other income increased primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase in the allowance for equity funds used during construction due to higher construction work in progress in 2025, including the projects for new generation resources in north Louisiana;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a $17.1 million true-up of Entergy Louisiana's MISO cost recovery mechanism over-recovery balance to the 2024 formula rate plan filing, which was filed with the LPSC in May 2025. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein for discussion of the 2024 formula rate plan filing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $14.2 million in interest earned on money pool investments; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $13.4 million in the amortization of tax gross ups on customer advances for construction.

The increase was offset by changes in decommissioning trust fund activity, including portfolio rebalancing of the River Bend decommissioning trust fund in 2024, and a decrease of $8.7 million in affiliated dividend income from affiliated preferred membership interests related to storm cost securitization.

Interest expense increased primarily due to the issuance of $700 million of 5.15% Series mortgage bonds in August 2024, the issuance of $750 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in January 2025, and carrying costs of $12.1 million in 2025 on customer advances for construction. 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.

<u>Income Taxes</u>

The effective income tax rates were 19.5% for the second quarter 2025 and 18.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The differences in the effective income tax rates for the second quarter 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2025 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% were 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 13.7% for the second quarter 2024 and 16% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The differences in the effective income tax rates for the second quarter 2024 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% were 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 state accumulated deferred income taxes as a result of tax rate changes.

---

<u>Operating Activities</u>

Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $170.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the receipt of $204.7 million in advance payments related to customer agreements in 2025, which are recorded as current liabilities and included within changes in other working capital accounts, and higher collections from customers. The increase was partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• higher fuel and purchased power payments 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $45.4 million in interest paid; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $19 million in spending on nuclear refueling outages in 2025 as compared to 2024.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $828.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $347.7 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending on new generation resources in north Louisiana and the Sterlington solar project;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $183.9 million in distribution construction expenditures primarily due to increased investment in the resilience of the distribution system;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $135.7 million in transmission construction expenditures primarily due to higher capital expenditures as a result of increased development in Entergy Louisiana's service area, higher spending on the Commodore transmission projects, and increased spending on various other transmission projects in 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase in cash used of $98.9 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $94.5 million in nuclear construction expenditures primarily due to increased spending on various nuclear projects in 2025; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• money pool activity.

The increase was partially offset by the receipt of $33.5 million from the storm reserve escrow account in 2025 and a decrease of $22.8 million in information technology capital expenditures primarily due to decreased spending on technology upgrade projects 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 $48.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to increasing by $31.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 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.

<u>Financing Activities</u>

Net cash flow provided by financing activities increased $447.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuance of $750 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in January 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the repayment, prior to maturity, of $400 million of 5.40% Series mortgage bonds in April 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $357.3 million in net customer advances for construction related to transmission, distribution, and generator interconnection agreements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $169.1 million in common equity distributions paid in 2025 in order to maintain Entergy Louisiana's capital structure;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• money pool activity; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• net long-term borrowings of $92.9 million in 2025 compared to net repayments of $27.1 million in 2024 on the nuclear fuel company variable interest entities' credit facilities.

The increase was partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuances of $500 million of 5.35% Series mortgage bonds and $700 million of 5.70% Series mortgage bonds, each in March 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the repayment, prior to maturity, of $190 million of 3.78% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the repayment, prior to maturity, of $110 million of 3.78% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025.

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 six months ended June 30, 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.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

**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.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 30,<br>2025** | **December 31,** <br>**2024** |
| Debt to capital | 47.2% | 46.0% |
| Effect of subtracting cash | (0.7%) | (0.8%) |
| Net debt to net capital (non-GAAP) | 46.5% | 45.2% |

---

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 - <u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**" 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 operation 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:

See Note 4 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a description of the money pool.

Entergy Louisiana has a credit facility in the amount of $400 million scheduled to expire in June 2030. 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 June 30, 2025, there were no cash borrowings and no letters of credit

outstanding under the credit facility. In addition, Entergy Louisiana is a party to two uncommitted letter of credit facilities as a means to post collateral to support its obligations to MISO. As of June 30, 2025, $74.3 million in letters of credit were outstanding under one of Entergy Louisiana's uncommitted letter of credit facilities. 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 June 30, 2025, $69.5 million in loans were outstanding under the credit facility for the Entergy Louisiana River Bend nuclear fuel company variable interest entity and $61 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.

<u>2021 Solar Certification and the Geaux Green Option</u>

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in November 2021, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC seeking certification of and approval for the addition of four new solar photovoltaic resources with a combined nameplate capacity of 475 megawatts (the 2021 Solar Portfolio) and the implementation of a new green tariff, the Geaux Green Option (Rider GGO). The 2021 Solar Portfolio consists of four resources which include (i) the Vacherie Facility, a 150 megawatt resource in St. James Parish; (ii) the Sunlight Road Facility, a 50 megawatt resource in Washington Parish; (iii) the St. Jacques Facility, a 150 megawatt resource in St. James Parish; and (iv) the Elizabeth Facility, a 125 megawatt resource in Allen Parish. The St. Jacques Facility would be acquired through a build-own-transfer agreement; the remaining resources involve power purchase agreements. The Sunlight Road Facility and the Elizabeth Facility each achieved commercial operation in 2024, and the Vacherie Facility and the St. Jacques Facility originally had estimated in service dates in 2025.

In August 2022 the parties reached a settlement certifying the 2021 Solar Portfolio and approving implementation of Rider GGO. In September 2022 the LPSC approved the settlement. Following the LPSC approval, the St. James Parish council issued a moratorium on new land use permits for solar facilities until the later of March 2023 or the completion of an environmental and economic impact study. In November 2023, St. James Parish lifted the moratorium and adopted an ordinance modifying the parish's land use plan to establish solar as an approved land use and defining corresponding solar regulations. In March 2024 the project developer submitted a solar energy facility farm permit application to the St. James Parish planning commission to request approval for the Vacherie and St. Jacques Facilities. In June 2024 the St. James Parish council denied the application and following this denial, the project developer and one of the project's ground lessors filed separate lawsuits seeking to overturn the council's decision. The council's decision was subsequently affirmed by the Louisiana 23rd Judicial District Court. Entergy Louisiana is no longer pursuing the addition of resources through an acquisition of the St. Jacques Facility or through a power purchase agreement with the Vacherie Facility.

<u>Additional Generation and Transmission Resources</u>

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 February 2025, Entergy Louisiana filed supplemental testimony with the LPSC stating that the third combined cycle combustion turbine resource presented in the October 2024 application would be sited at Entergy Louisiana's Waterford site in Killona, Louisiana, alongside existing Entergy Louisiana generation resources. The testimony also notes that Entergy Louisiana is negotiating with the customer in response to the customer's request to increase the load associated with its project in north Louisiana. The testimony indicates further that the additional load can be served without additional generation capacity beyond what was presented in the October 2024 application, but that additional transmission facilities, which will be funded directly by the customer, are needed to serve this additional load.

In April 2025 and May 2025 the LPSC staff and certain intervenors each filed their direct testimony and cross-answering testimony, respectively. The LPSC staff's testimony discussed the significant projected benefits associated with the data center project; however, both the LPSC staff and such intervenors also identified purported risks associated with constructing the requested resources based on the terms and conditions under which the customer would be taking service. Both the LPSC staff and such intervenors also recommended that the LPSC impose certain conditions on its approval which, if adopted, would support approval of Entergy Louisiana's application. The LPSC staff's recommendations included 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 recommended 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 advocated 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. In May 2025, Entergy Louisiana filed its rebuttal testimony responding to the direct and cross-answering testimony of the LPSC staff and intervenors. The rebuttal testimony expressed support for or no opposition to the LPSC's adoption of certain of the proposed recommendations and identified why other proposed recommendations should not be adopted. In addition, the rebuttal testimony stated that the negotiations related to the increase in the load amount for the customer's project had concluded and that a rider to the electric service agreement reflecting this increase had been executed. In advance of the July 2025 hearing, Entergy Louisiana reached a settlement agreement with the LPSC staff and three separate intervenors. The hearing concluded and the matter is currently under consideration by the ALJ.

<u>Transmission Projects</u>

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

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

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 or minimum bill revenues 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. In June 2025, Entergy Louisiana filed rebuttal testimony. The hearing is set for August 2025, and an LPSC decision is expected in fourth quarter 2025.

**Retail Rates**

<u>2023 Formula Rate Plan Filing</u>

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in August 2024, pursuant to the global stipulated settlement agreement approved by the LPSC also in August 2024, 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 were 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 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.

<u>2024 Formula Rate Plan Filing</u>

In May 2025, Entergy Louisiana filed its formula rate plan evaluation report for its 2024 calendar year operations. Consistent with the global stipulated settlement agreement approved by the LPSC in August 2024, 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 test year 2024, however, any earnings above the allowed return on common equity are to be returned to customers through a credit, pursuant to the terms of the global stipulated settlement agreement. The 2024 test year evaluation produced an earned return on common equity of 9.98%, which is within the approved formula rate plan bandwidth, but above the allowed return on common equity, resulting in a customer credit of $31.9 million to be returned to customers during September and October 2025.

Other changes in formula rate plan revenue are driven by higher nuclear depreciation rates, additions to transmission and distribution plant in service reflected through the transmission recovery mechanism and distribution recovery mechanism, and the expiration of customer credits related to the LPSC's order, offset by increased customer credits resulting from an increase in net MISO revenues reflected through the MISO cost recovery mechanism and the reduction in the Louisiana corporate income tax rate effective January 1, 2025, reflected through the tax adjustment mechanism, as discussed below. Excluding the customer credit for earnings above the authorized return on common equity discussed above, the net result of these changes on an annualized basis is a $2 million increase in formula rate plan revenue.

As noted above, the 2024 evaluation report included the effects of the change in Louisiana state tax law that reduced the corporate income tax rate to a flat 5.5% (from the then-current highest marginal rate of 7.5%) effective January 1, 2025. As such, the 2024 evaluation report reflected the calculation of current and deferred income tax expenses as well as the revaluation of accumulated deferred income taxes based on the income tax laws currently in effect. The 2024 evaluation report proposes that the rate effects associated with the revaluation of accumulated deferred income taxes, including the collection of any net accumulated deferred income tax deficiency and any related effects on rate base, should be reflected in the tax adjustment mechanism consistent with the treatment of similar Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and prior state tax change-related impacts. The effects of the change in tax law on Entergy Louisiana's authorized return on rate base are also reflected in the 2024 evaluation report consistent with the treatment cited above, including a credit in the extraordinary cost change mechanism for the prospective change in Entergy Louisiana's authorized return and a credit within the tax adjustment mechanism for over-collection of income tax expense through August 2025.

**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 LPSC accepted the report in June 2025.

**COVID-19 Orders**

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in April 2020 the LPSC issued an order authorizing utilities to record as a regulatory asset expenses incurred from the suspension of disconnections and collection of late fees imposed by LPSC orders associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2023, Entergy Louisiana filed an application proposing to utilize approximately $1.6 billion in certain low interest debt to generate earnings to apply toward the reduction of the COVID-19 regulatory asset, as well as to conduct additional outside right-of-way vegetation management activities and fund the minor storm reserve account. In that filing, Entergy Louisiana proposed to delay repayment of certain shorter-term first mortgage bonds that were issued to finance storm restoration costs until the costs could be securitized, and to invest the funds that otherwise would be used to repay those bonds in the

money pool to take advantage of the spread between prevailing interest rates on investments in the money pool and the interest rates on the bonds. The LPSC approved Entergy Louisiana's requested relief in June 2023. In November 2024, Entergy Louisiana submitted a filing to the LPSC requesting that the LPSC review Entergy Louisiana's computation of the COVID-19 regulatory asset as well as Entergy Louisiana's proposal to offset the regulatory asset against the net interest earned on the short-term debt funds, resulting in no increased costs to customers. At the time of the filing, Entergy Louisiana had a regulatory asset of $47.8 million for costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2025, Entergy Louisiana had a regulatory liability of $48.9 million for the deferred earnings related to the approximately $1.6 billion in low interest debt, which had been fully repaid by August 2024. In granting Entergy Louisiana's requested relief in June 2023, the LPSC ordered that any amount of earnings exceeding the amount of the COVID-19 regulatory asset be transferred to Entergy Louisiana's storm reserve escrow account. In May 2025 the LPSC staff filed direct testimony finding that Entergy Louisiana had complied with the relevant orders and recommending approval of the requested treatment. In June 2025, Entergy Louisiana and the LPSC staff filed a joint motion requesting a hearing for the admission of an uncontested stipulated settlement agreement in the matter. A settlement hearing took place in July 2025 and Entergy Louisiana expects the settlement to be considered at an upcoming meeting of the LPSC. The settlement terms provide for LPSC approval of Entergy Louisiana's calculation of the COVID-19 regulatory assets and Entergy Louisiana's proposal to offset the regulatory asset as described above and as proposed in Entergy Louisiana's November 2024 filing.

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. The filing was rejected on procedural grounds. In June 2025 the LPSC approved a directive providing, among other things, that any utility seeking securitization for storm costs this year must file a proposed financing order with its application and that the LPSC staff must use best efforts to deliver the financing order to the LPSC for consideration at the next available Business and Executive meeting after the application is filed.

**NRC Reactor Oversight Process**

The NRC's Reactor Oversight Process is a program to collect information about plant performance, assess the information for its safety significance, and provide for appropriate licensee and NRC response. The NRC evaluates plant performance by analyzing two distinct inputs: inspection findings resulting from the NRC's inspection program and performance indicators reported by the licensee. The evaluations result in the placement of each plant in one of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process Action Matrix columns: "licensee response column," or

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Column 1, "regulatory response column," or Column 2, "degraded cornerstone column," or Column 3, "multiple/repetitive degraded cornerstone column," or Column 4, and "unacceptable performance," or Column 5. Plants in Column 1 are subject to normal NRC inspection activities. Plants in Column 2, Column 3, or Column 4 are subject to progressively increasing levels of inspection by the NRC with, in general, progressively increasing levels of associated costs. Continued plant operation is not permitted for plants in Column 5. River Bend is currently in Column 1, and Waterford 3 is currently in Column 2.

In June 2025 the NRC placed Waterford 3 in Column 2, effective second quarter 2025, based on the failure to properly develop and implement adequate maintenance instructions for the fuel linkage connection to the mechanical governor for an emergency diesel generator. Waterford 3 will remain in Column 2 until a supplemental inspection is satisfactorily completed.

**ENTERGY MISSISSIPPI, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

**<u>Results of Operations</u>**

**Net Income**

<u>Second Quarter 2025 Compared to Second Quarter 2024</u>

Net income increased $4.7 million primarily due to higher retail electric price and higher other income, partially offset by higher other operation and maintenance expenses and higher interest expense.

<u>Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024</u>

Net income increased $24.1 million primarily due to higher retail electric price, higher other income, and higher volume/weather. The increase was partially offset by higher other operation and maintenance expenses, a regulatory charge, recorded in the first quarter 2025, to reflect an adjustment to the grid modernization over/under recovery deferral balance, and higher interest expense.

**Operating Revenues**

<u>Second Quarter 2025 Compared to Second Quarter 2024</u>

Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the second quarter 2025 to the second quarter 2024:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Amount** |
| | (In Millions) |
| 2024 operating revenues | $442.9 |
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | 35.2 |
| Retail electric price | 14.1 |
| Volume/weather | (0.3) |
| **2025 operating revenues** | **$491.9** |

---

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 an increase in formula rate plan rates effective July 2024 and an increase in the interim facilities rate adjustment revenues effective January 2025. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the 2024 formula rate plan filing, and see Note 2 to the financial statements herein for discussion of the interim facilities rate adjustment.

The volume/weather variance for second quarter 2025 as compared to second quarter 2024 is insignificant.

Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the six months ended June 30, 2025 to the six months ended June 30, 2024:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Amount** |
| | (In Millions) |
| 2024 operating revenues | $857.8 |
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | 0.7 |
| Retail electric price | 38.3 |
| Volume/weather | 18.8 |
| **2025 operating revenues** | **$915.6** |

---

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 in the Form 10-K for discussion of the 2024 formula rate plan filing, and see Note 2 to the financial statements herein for discussion of 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 in the technology and primary metals industries, and an increase in demand from small industrial customers.

Other regulatory charges (credits) – net includes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a regulatory charge of $21 million, recorded in first quarter 2025, to reflect an adjustment to the grid modernization over/under recovery deferral balance; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulatory credits of $7.3 million, recorded in second quarter 2024, to reflect the effects of the joint stipulation reached in the 2024 formula rate plan filing proceeding. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the 2024 formula rate plan filing.

Other income increased primarily due to an increase of $7.6 million in the amortization of tax gross ups on customer advances for construction, an increase of $6.3 million in interest earned on money pool investments, 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 the issuance of $600 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025, the issuance of $300 million of 5.85% Series mortgage bonds in May 2024, and carrying costs of $9 million in 2025 on customer advances for construction.

<u>Income Taxes</u>

The effective income tax rates were 23.7% for the second quarter 2025 and 23.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The differences in the effective income tax rates for the second quarter 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2025 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.

The effective income tax rates were 24.1% for the second quarter 2024 and 23.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

<u>Operating Activities</u>

Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $101.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the receipt of $108.4 million in advance payments related to customer agreements in 2025, which are recorded as current liabilities and included within changes in other working capital accounts, and higher collections from customers, including $25 million of deferred revenue in 2025. The increase was partially offset by the timing of payments to vendors 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.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $477.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $394.8 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending on the Delta Blues Advanced Power Station project, the Penton Solar project, the Delta Solar project, and other non-nuclear generation projects;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• money pool activity; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $29.1 million in distribution construction expenditures primarily due to increased investment in the resilience of the distribution system.

The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $21.2 million in transmission construction expenditures primarily due to decreased spending on various transmission projects in 2025 and a decrease of $16.3 million in information technology capital expenditures primarily due to decreased spending on technology upgrade projects in 2025.

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 $93.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 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.

<u>Financing Activities</u>

Net cash flow provided by financing activities increased $624.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuance of $600 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $110.1 million in net customer advances for construction related to transmission, distribution, and generator interconnection agreements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the repayment, prior to maturity, of $100 million of 3.75% Series mortgage bonds in June 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a capital contribution of $62.5 million received from Entergy Corporation in February 2025 in order to maintain Entergy Mississippi's capital structure;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• money pool activity; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $22.3 million in common equity distributions paid in 2024 in order to maintain Entergy Mississippi's capital structure.

The increase was partially offset by the issuance of $300 million of 5.85% Series mortgage bonds in May 2024.

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 $33.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

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.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 30,** <br>**2025** | **December 31,** <br>**2024** |
| Debt to capital | 53.9% | 50.4% |
| Effect of subtracting cash | (3.5%) | (1.6%) |
| Net debt to net capital (non-GAAP) | 50.4% | 48.8% |

---

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 - <u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**" 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 operation 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.

Entergy Mississippi's receivables from or (payables to) the money pool were as follows:

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Entergy Mississippi has a credit facility in the amount of $300 million scheduled to expire in June 2030. The credit facility includes fronting commitments for the issuance of letters of credit against $5 million of the borrowing capacity of the facility. As of June 30, 2025, there were no cash borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the credit facility. In addition, Entergy Mississippi is a party to two uncommitted letter of credit facilities as a means to post collateral to support its obligations to MISO and for other purposes. As of June 30, 2025, $46.0 million in MISO letters of credit and $1.3 million in non-MISO letters of credit were outstanding under one of Entergy Mississippi's uncommitted letter of credit facilities. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the credit facilities.

<u>New Advanced Power Station</u> 

Entergy Mississippi plans to construct, own, and operate a 754 MW combined cycle combustion turbine facility to be located in the City of Ridgeland, Madison County, Mississippi. The facility will be powered primarily by natural gas, and it will also be enabled for future carbon capture and storage and for hydrogen co-firing optionality. The project is expected to cost in excess of $1 billion. The facility is expected to be in service in 2029.

**<u>State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery</u>**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - <u>State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery</u>**" 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**

<u>2025 Formula Rate Plan Filing</u>

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 also to be within the formula rate plan bandwidth. The 2025 test year filing showed 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 proposed 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.

In June 2025, Entergy Mississippi and the Mississippi Public Utilities Staff entered into a joint stipulation that confirmed the 2025 test year filing, with the exception of immaterial adjustments to certain operation and maintenance expenses. The formula rate plan reflected an earned return on rate base of 7.68% for calendar year 2025, resulting in no change in formula rate plan revenues for 2025. Pursuant to the stipulation, Entergy Mississippi's 2024 look-back filing reflected an earned return on rate base of 7.55%, which also resulted in no change in formula rate plan revenues for 2024. In addition, the stipulation included the recovery of the two outside-the-bandwidth changes discussed above as well as the ratemaking treatment of customer contributions (deferred revenue and prepaid contributions in aid of construction). In June 2025 the MPSC approved the joint stipulation with rates effective in July 2025.

<u>Interim Facilities Rate Adjustments</u>

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.

**ENTERGY NEW ORLEANS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

**<u>Results of Operations</u>**

**Net Income**

<u>Second Quarter 2025 Compared to Second Quarter 2024</u>

Net income decreased $3.1 million primarily due to higher other operation and maintenance expenses and higher interest expense.

<u>Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024</u>

Entergy New Orleans had net income of $30.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a net loss of $27.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 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 variance were higher volume/weather, higher retail electric price, and lower other operation and maintenance expenses, partially offset by higher interest expense and higher depreciation and amortization expenses. 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**

<u>Second Quarter 2025 Compared to Second Quarter 2024</u>

Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the second quarter 2025 to the second quarter 2024:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Amount** |
| | (In Millions) |
| 2024 operating revenues | $199.3 |
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | 9.8 |
| Retail electric price | 1.8 |
| Volume/weather | (0.9) |
| **2025 operating revenues** | **$210.0** |

---

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.

Entergy New Orleans, LLC and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

The volume/weather variance is primarily due to a decrease in industrial usage and the effect of less favorable weather on residential sales, partially offset by an increase in weather-adjusted residential usage. The decrease in industrial usage is primarily due to a decrease in demand from large industrial customers, primarily in the industrial gases industry.

Total electric energy sales for Entergy New Orleans for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **% Change** |
| | (GWh) | (GWh) | |
| Residential | 593 | 614 | (3) |
| Commercial | 534 | 531 | 1 |
| Industrial | 106 | 115 | (8) |
| Governmental | 198 | 198 |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total retail | 1431 | 1458 | (2) |
| Sales for resale: |  |  |  |

|:---|:---|
| | **Amount** |
| | (In Millions) |
| 2024 operating revenues | $392.3 |
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | (8.2) |
| Retail electric price | 3.4 |
| Volume/weather | 3.6 |
| **2025 operating revenues** | **$391.1** |

The volume/weather variance is primarily due to the effect of more favorable weather on residential sales, partially offset by a decrease in commercial and industrial usage.

**Other Income Statement Variances**

<u>Second Quarter 2025 Compared to Second Quarter 2024</u>

Other operation and maintenance expenses increased primarily due to an increase of $1.0 million in loss provisions and an increase of $1.0 million in energy efficiency expenses primarily due to higher energy efficiency costs. The increase was partially offset by contract costs of $0.8 million, in second quarter 2024, related to operational performance, customer service, and organizational health initiatives.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased primarily due to additions to plant in service.

Other income (deductions) decreased primarily due to the deferral of certain other postretirement benefit expense credits, 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 2024 formula rate plan filing and Note 11 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the other postretirement benefits accounting treatment.

Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase of $3.3 million in carrying costs on regulatory liability balances.

<u>Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024</u>

Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased primarily due to $1.8 million in costs recognized in 2024 related to credits provided to customers as part of the rate mitigation plan approved in the settlement of the 2023 formula rate plan filing and contract costs of $1.7 million in 2024 related to operational performance, customer service, and organizational health initiatives. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $1.8 million in energy efficiency expenses primarily due to higher energy efficiency costs, partially offset by the timing of recovery from customers. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the formula rate plan filing.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased primarily due to additions to plant in service.

Entergy New Orleans, LLC and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

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.

Other income (deductions) decreased primarily due to the deferral of certain other postretirement benefit expense credits, 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 2024 formula rate plan filing and Note 11 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the other postretirement benefits accounting treatment.

Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase of $6.6 million in carrying costs on regulatory liability balances.

<u>Income Taxes</u>

The effective income tax rates were 24.1% for the second quarter 2025 and 23.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The differences in the effective income tax rates for the second quarter 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2025 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.

The effective income tax rates were 26.2% for the second quarter 2024 and 29.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The differences in the effective income tax rates for the second quarter 2024 and the six months ended June 30, 2024 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% were primarily due to the accrual for state income taxes.

Net cash flow provided by operating activities decreased $21.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the timing of payments to vendors and higher fuel and purchased power payments in 2025 as compared to 2024. The decrease was partially offset by higher collections from customers. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to an increase of $17.9 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to a higher scope of work performed during plant outages in 2025 as compared to 2024, partially offset by the receipt of $10.3 million from the storm reserve escrow account in 2025. See "**Uses and Sources of Capital** - <u>Hurricane Francine</u>" below for discussion of the Hurricane Francine proceeding.

<u>Financing Activities</u>

Net cash flow provided by financing activities decreased $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to 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, and the repayment, at maturity, of $78 million of 3.00% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025. The decrease was partially offset by the repayment, at maturity, of an $85 million unsecured term loan in June 2024, proceeds received in March 2025 from an $80 million unsecured term loan (subsequently repaid in July 2025), and money pool activity.

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 $20.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to decreasing by $21.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 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.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

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.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 30, <br>2025** | **December 31, <br>2024** |
| Debt to capital | 50.5% | 51.5% |
| Effect of subtracting cash | —% | (1.1%) |
| Net debt to net capital (non-GAAP) | 50.5% | 50.4% |

---

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 - <u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**" 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 operation 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.

Entergy New Orleans's receivables from or (payables to) the money pool were as follows:

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Entergy New Orleans has a credit facility in the amount of $25 million scheduled to expire in June 2027. The credit facility includes fronting commitments for the issuance of letters of credit against $10 million of the borrowing capacity of the facility. As of June 30, 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 June 30, 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.

<u>Hurricane Francine</u>

In September 2024, Hurricane Francine caused damage to the areas served by Entergy New Orleans. 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, in accordance with the terms of its storm recovery reserve escrow agreement, Entergy New Orleans transmitted to the City Council a notice of intent to withdraw up to $20 million in estimated storm costs resulting from Hurricane Francine from its storm recovery reserve escrow account, subject to the City Council's certification of those costs. In January 2025, the City Council authorized the withdrawal, and in February 2025, Entergy New Orleans withdrew $10.3 million from its storm recovery reserve escrow account.

**<u>State and Local Rate Regulation</u>**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – <u>State and Local Rate Regulation</u>**" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of state and local rate regulation. The following is an update to that discussion.

**Retail Rates**

<u>2025 Formula Rate Plan Filing</u>

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% compared to the authorized return on equity of 9.35%. Without adjustments, this would result in a decrease in electric rates of $13.8 million. 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. The City Council's advisors issued their report in July 2025 seeking a reduction in Entergy New Orleans's requested electric formula rate plan revenues of approximately $7.2 million due to certain proposed cost realignments and disallowances, of which $4.1 million is associated with Entergy New Orleans's proposed implementation, on a revenue neutral basis, of a proposed reduction in customer late fees. The City Council's advisors also proposed rate mitigation in the amount of $4.4 million through offsets to the formula rate plan funded by certain regulatory liabilities. The City Council's advisors' report began a 35-day period to resolve any disputes among the parties regarding the formula rate plan. For any disputed rate adjustments, 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.

Net income decreased $8.7 million primarily due to higher purchased power costs related to the procurement of capacity through MISO's annual planning resource auction, partially offset by higher retail electric price and higher other income.

<u>Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024</u>

Net income increased $21.4 million primarily due to higher retail electric price, higher volume/weather, and higher other income, partially offset by higher purchased power costs related to the procurement of capacity through MISO's annual planning resource auction, higher taxes other than income taxes, and higher interest expense.

**Operating Revenues**

<u>Second Quarter 2025 Compared to Second Quarter 2024</u>

Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the second quarter 2025 to the second quarter 2024:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Amount** |
| | (In Millions) |
| 2024 operating revenues | $519.1 |
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | (11.7) |
| Retail electric price | 19.8 |
| Volume/weather | 4.4 |
| **2025 operating revenues** | **$531.6** |

---

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 an increase in industrial and commercial usage. The increase in industrial usage is primarily due to an increase in demand from large industrial customers, primarily in the primary metals, wood products, petroleum refining, and transportation industries, and an increase in demand from small industrial customers, partially offset by a decrease in demand from co-generation customers. The increase in commercial usage is primarily due to an increase in customers.

**Other Income Statement Variances**

<u>Second Quarter 2025 Compared to Second Quarter 2024</u>

Purchased power includes an increase in second quarter 2025 of $20 million in costs related to the procurement of capacity through MISO's annual planning resource auction, including the effect of a significant increase in MISO's seasonal auction clearing price, due to the implementation of a reliability-based demand curve, for capacity transactions during the summer months. Although Entergy Texas does not have the ability to recover its MISO capacity costs incurred to date beyond the level included in base rates, in June 2025, Texas legislation established a capacity cost recovery rider mechanism that would allow for the recovery of costs related to the procurement of capacity through MISO's annual planning resource auction outside of base rates, through a rider that is updated annually. Entergy Texas plans to file for such a rider to recover future capacity procurement costs at the earliest opportunity in 2026.

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased primarily due to the recognition of $13.8 million in depreciation expense in second 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 $500 million of 5.25% Series mortgage bonds in February 2025 and the issuance of $350 million of 5.55% Series mortgage bonds in August 2024, 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.

<u>Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024</u>

Purchased power includes an increase in 2025 of $21 million in costs related to the procurement of capacity through MISO's annual planning resource auction, including the effect of a significant increase in MISO's seasonal auction clearing price, due to the implementation of a reliability-based demand curve, for capacity transactions during the summer months. Although Entergy Texas does not have the ability to recover its MISO capacity costs incurred to date beyond the level included in base rates, in June 2025, Texas legislation established a capacity cost recovery rider mechanism that would allow for the recovery of costs related to the procurement of capacity through MISO's annual planning resource auction outside of base rates, through a rider that is updated annually. Entergy Texas plans to file for such a rider to recover future capacity procurement costs at the earliest opportunity in 2026.

Taxes other than income taxes increased primarily due to an increase in local franchise taxes as a result of higher retail revenues in 2025 as compared to 2024.

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased primarily due to the recognition of $27.6 million in depreciation expense in 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.

The effective income tax rates were 16.7% for the second quarter 2025 and 16.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The differences in the effective income tax rates for the second quarter 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2025 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% were primarily due to book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction.

The effective income tax rates were 18.4% for the second quarter 2024 and 18.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The differences in the effective income tax rates for the second quarter 2024 and the six months ended June 30, 2024 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% were 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.

---

<u>Operating Activities</u>

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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $12.9 million in interest paid;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• lower collections from customers.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• money pool activity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

Decreases in Entergy Texas's receivable from the money pool are a source of cash flow, and Entergy Texas's receivable from the money pool decreased $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared

to decreasing by $296.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 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.

<u>Financing Activities</u>

Net cash flow provided by financing activities increased $443.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the issuance of $500 million of 5.25% Series mortgage bonds in February 2025, partially offset by a decrease of $63.6 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.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 30, <br>2025** | **December 31,** <br>**2024** |
| Debt to capital | 53.7% | 51.6% |
| Effect of excluding securitization bonds | (1.4%) | (1.7%) |
| Debt to capital, excluding securitization bonds (non-GAAP) (a) | 52.3% | 49.9% |
| Effect of subtracting cash | (0.2%) | (1.5%) |
| Net debt to net capital, excluding securitization bonds (non-GAAP) (a) | 52.1% | 48.4% |

---

(a)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 - <u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**" 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 operation 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.

Entergy Texas's receivables from the money pool were as follows:

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 2030. 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 June 30, 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 two uncommitted letter of credit facilities as a means to post collateral to support its obligations to MISO. As of June 30, 2025, $54.0 million in letters of credit were outstanding under one of Entergy Texas's uncommitted letter of credit facilities. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the credit facilities.

<u>Legend Power Station and Lone Star Power Station</u>

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, originally expected to be located in Liberty County, Texas. In March 2025, Entergy Texas filed testimony explaining that Entergy Texas planned to move forward with building the Lone Star Power Station on a more cost-effective alternative site in San Jacinto 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 were filed in May 2025. In June 2025 the ALJs with the State Office of Administrative Hearings issued a proposal for decision, in which they recommended rejection of Entergy Texas's application to construct the Legend Power Station and the Lone Star Power Station based upon their finding that Entergy Texas did not demonstrate the resources to be cost-effective alternatives to address the uncontested need for additional generation. In the alternative, the ALJs recommended that if the PUCT approves the resources, that conditions be imposed, including a deferral of the finding that the resources were prudently selected until Entergy Texas's next rate case, a prudence review by an external consultant if actual project costs exceed estimated costs by more than 10%, weatherization requirements, and a requirement that Entergy Texas obtain additional regulatory approvals prior to implementing hydrogen co-firing or carbon

capture and storage. The ALJs' proposal for decision is an interim step in the certification process, and it is not binding upon the PUCT. Entergy Texas filed exceptions in July 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.

<u>Segno Solar and Votaw Solar</u>

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in July 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 Segno Solar facility, a 170 MW solar facility to be located in Polk County, Texas, and the Votaw Solar facility, a 141 MW solar facility to be located in Hardin County, Texas. In July 2025, Entergy Texas filed, and the ALJs with the State Office of Administrative Hearings granted, an unopposed motion to abate this proceeding to give the parties to the proceeding additional time for settlement discussions.

<u>Southeast Texas Area Reliability Project (SETEX)</u>

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. A hearing on the merits was held in May 2025. In July 2025 the ALJs with the State Office of Administrative Hearings issued a proposal for decision recommending the PUCT approve Entergy Texas's application to construct SETEX and recommending the PUCT's approval include selection of a specific route with an estimated cost of $1.4 billion. A PUCT decision is expected in third quarter 2025. Subject to receipt of required regulatory approval and other conditions, construction of the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2029.

<u>Legend to Sandling 230kV Transmission Line</u>

In April 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 230 kV transmission line. The transmission line is expected to be approximately 9 to 10 miles in length and the estimated cost of the project ranges from $87.4 million to $88.6 million, depending on the route ultimately approved by the PUCT. Also in April 2025 the PUCT referred the proceeding to the State Office of Administrative Hearings. In July 2025, Entergy Texas filed an unopposed settlement agreement resolving all issues in the proceeding and a joint motion, which the ALJ with the State Office of Administrative Hearings granted, on behalf of the parties to the proceeding to cancel the remaining procedural schedule, to admit evidence, and to remand the proceeding to the PUCT to consider the unopposed settlement agreement. A PUCT decision is expected in fourth quarter 2025. Subject to receipt of required regulatory approval and other conditions, construction of the project is expected to be completed by second quarter 2027.

<u>Cypress to Legend 500 kV Transmission Line</u>

In May 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. The transmission line is expected to be approximately 40 to 49 miles in length and the estimated cost of the project ranges from $392.7 million to $436.2 million, depending on the route ultimately approved by the PUCT. In June 2025 the PUCT referred the proceeding to the State Office of Administrative Hearings and the ALJs with the State Office of Administrative Hearings adopted a procedural schedule with a hearing on the merits to be held in

mid-August 2025. A PUCT decision is expected in fourth quarter 2025. Subject to receipt of required regulatory approval and other conditions, construction of the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2028.

**<u>State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery</u>**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - <u>State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery</u>**" 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**

<u>Distribution Cost Recovery Factor (DCRF) Rider</u>

In April 2025, Entergy Texas filed with the PUCT a request to amend its DCRF rider. The amended rider was 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 then-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. In June 2025 the PUCT approved the DCRF rider, consistent with Entergy Texas's as-filed request, and rates became effective on June 25, 2025.

<u>Transmission Cost Recovery Factor (TCRF) Rider</u>

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.

**Fuel and purchased power cost recovery**

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in September 2024, Entergy Texas filed an application with the PUCT to reconcile its fuel and purchased power costs for the period from April 2022 through March 2024. During the reconciliation period, Entergy Texas incurred approximately $1.6 billion in eligible fuel and purchased power expenses to generate and purchase electricity to serve its customers, net of certain revenues credited to such expenses and other adjustments. Entergy Texas's cumulative under-recovery balance for the reconciliation period was approximately $30 million, including interest, which Entergy Texas requested authority to carry over as part of the cumulative fuel balance for the subsequent reconciliation period beginning April 2024. In November 2024 the PUCT referred the proceeding to the State Office of Administrative Hearings. In March 2025, Texas Industrial Energy Consumers, an intervenor, filed testimony regarding the recovery of capacity costs for a certain power purchase agreement, arguing the capacity costs should be imputed and treated as non-reconcilable fuel expense, recovered in Entergy Texas's base rates. In April 2025 the PUCT staff filed testimony and later in April 2025, Entergy Texas filed rebuttal testimony. In May 2025, Entergy Texas filed, and the ALJ with the State Office of Administrative Hearings granted, a request for a paper hearing and to cancel the oral hearing on the merits previously scheduled for later in May 2025. In June 2025, Entergy Texas filed, and the ALJ with the State Office of Administrative Hearings granted, a joint motion to abate the proceeding to give the parties to the proceeding additional time to finalize a settlement.

**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. See "**<u>Complaints Against System Energy</u> - System Energy Settlement with the LPSC"** in Note 2 to the financial statements herein for additional information regarding filings made with the FERC in May 2025 related to the Unit Power Sales Agreement. Also, as discussed in "**<u>Complaints Against System Energy</u>"** 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.

**<u>Results of Operations</u>**

**Net Income**

<u>Second Quarter 2025 Compared to Second Quarter 2024</u>

Net income decreased $3.5 million primarily 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, and lower operating revenues resulting from changes in rate base. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the settlements with the City Council and the LPSC.

<u>Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024</u>

Net income decreased $11.3 million primarily 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 changes in rate base. See Note 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 rates were 19.4% for the second quarter 2025 and 20.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The differences in the effective income tax rates for the second quarter 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2025 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% were primarily due to 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, partially offset by the accrual for state income taxes.

The effective income tax rates were 23.2% for the second quarter 2024 and 21.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The differences in the effective income tax rates for the second quarter 2024 and the six months

Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $104.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the refund of $92 million made in May 2024 to Entergy Arkansas as a result of the settlement with the APSC and a decrease of $20.4 million in spending on nuclear refueling outage costs in 2025 as compared to 2024. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the settlement with the APSC.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

Net cash flow used in investing activities decreased $160.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to net proceeds of $16.6 million in 2025 compared to net purchases of $115.5 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, material and services deliveries, and the timing of cash payments during the nuclear fuel cycle and a decrease of $31.8 million in nuclear construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending in 2024 on Grand Gulf outage projects and upgrades.

<u>Financing Activities</u>

System Energy's financing activities used $72.6 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to providing $220.3 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the following activity:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the repayment, prior to maturity, of $200 million of 2.14% Series mortgage bonds in June 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a capital contribution of $150 million received from Entergy Corporation in January 2024 in order to

maintain System Energy's capital structure;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• net repayments of $28.4 million in 2025 compared to net long-term borrowings of $82.6 million in 2024 on the nuclear fuel company variable interest entity's credit facility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $75 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; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuance of $240 million of 5.30% Series mortgage bonds in May 2025.

**Capital Structure**

System Energy's debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 30, <br>2025** | **December 31, <br>2024** |
| Debt to capital | 53.7% | 52.9% |
| Effect of subtracting cash | (0.7%) | (0.7%) |
| Net debt to net capital (non-GAAP) | 53.0% | 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 - <u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**" 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 operation 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.

**<u>Complaints Against System Energy</u>**

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 are updates 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 April 2025 the FERC accepted System Energy's tariff compliance filing.

**System Energy Settlement with the LPSC**

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in 2024, System Energy reached a settlement with the LPSC to globally resolve all of the LPSC's actual and potential claims in multiple docketed proceedings pending before the FERC (including all docketed proceedings resolved by the MPSC, the APSC, and the City Council settlements) and associated with System Energy's past implementation of the Unit Power Sales Agreement. In compliance with the settlement, in May 2025, System Energy, Entergy Louisiana, and Entergy Mississippi submitted the following filings with the FERC: (1) a Federal Power Act Section 203 application seeking approval for the permanent divestiture by Entergy Louisiana to Entergy Mississippi of its rights to capacity and energy from Grand Gulf; and (2) a Federal Power Act Section 205 application seeking approval to modify the entitlement percentages of the remaining purchasers under the Unit Power Sales Agreement in connection with the foregoing divestiture. In July 2025, the FERC issued an order accepting the Federal Power Act Section 205 application to remove Entergy

Louisiana as a party to the Unit Power Sales Agreement. As a result of the order, the Unit Power Sales Agreement entitlement percentages of the remaining purchasers will be permanently modified to exclude Entergy Louisiana, to be effective beginning October 2025. The FERC also issued an order dismissing the Federal Power Act Section 203 application based on lack of jurisdiction.

On July 11, 2025, an antitrust class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland on behalf of a putative class against Entergy Corporation, 26 other entities alleged to own and/or operate commercial nuclear power plants in the United States (together with Entergy Corporation, the "nuclear defendants"), and two consulting companies. The class action complaint purports to be brought on behalf of all persons employed in nuclear power generation by the nuclear defendants and their subsidiaries and related entities in the United States from May 1, 2003 to the present. The plaintiffs primarily allege that the nuclear defendants, together with the consulting company defendants, violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S. Code Chapter 1 by conspiring to suppress compensation and exchange collective bargaining agreement and wage information through a trade group, a consulting firm, and through direct communications, including attendance at conferences, from May 2003 to the present. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified monetary damages, including treble damages, interest, injunctive relief, attorney's fees, and costs. Entergy Corporation is evaluating the complaint.

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. In addition, in the first quarter 2025, Entergy withheld 61,042 shares of its common stock at $78.79 per share, 1,300 shares of its

------

common stock at $81.31 per share, 213,368 shares of its common stock at $81.99 per share, 171,525 shares of its common stock at $82.52 per share, and 1,118 shares of its common stock at $82.82 per share to pay income taxes due upon vesting of restricted stock granted and payout of performance units as part of its long-term incentive program.

(1)See Note 12 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for additional discussion of the stock-based compensation plans.

(2)Maximum amount of shares that may yet be repurchased relates only to the $500 million share repurchase program plan and does not include an estimate of the amount of shares that may be purchased to fund the exercise of grants under the stock-based compensation plans.

**Item 5. Other Information**

**<u>Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements</u>**

No director or officer of Entergy or any of the Registrant Subsidiaries adopted, modified, or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" during the three months ended June 30, 2025.

**<u>Regulation of the Nuclear Power Industry</u>**

The following are updates to the "**Regulation of the Nuclear Power Industry**" section of Part I, Item 1 of the Form 10-K.

<u>Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982</u>

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.

<u>NRC Reactor Oversight Process</u>

The NRC's Reactor Oversight Process is a program to collect information about plant performance, assess the information for its safety significance, and provide for appropriate licensee and NRC response. The NRC evaluates plant performance by analyzing two distinct inputs: inspection findings resulting from the NRC's inspection program and performance indicators reported by the licensee. The evaluations result in the placement of each plant in one of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process Action Matrix columns: "licensee response column," or Column 1, "regulatory response column," or Column 2, "degraded cornerstone column," or Column 3, "multiple/repetitive degraded cornerstone column," or Column 4, and "unacceptable performance," or Column 5. Plants in Column 1 are subject to normal NRC inspection activities. Plants in Column 2, Column 3, or Column 4 are subject to progressively increasing levels of inspection by the NRC with, in general, progressively increasing levels of associated costs. Continued plant operation is not permitted for plants in Column 5. All of the nuclear generating plants owned and operated by Entergy's Utility business are currently in Column 1, except Waterford 3, which is in Column 2.

In June 2025 the NRC placed Waterford 3 in Column 2, effective second quarter 2025, based on the failure to properly develop and implement adequate maintenance instructions for the fuel linkage connection to the mechanical governor for an emergency diesel generator. Waterford 3 will remain in Column 2 until a supplemental inspection is satisfactorily completed.

**<u>Environmental Regulation</u>**

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 particulate matter National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), reconsideration of the Mercury and Air Toxics Standard (MATS) 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 NAAQS set by the EPA in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The following are updates to that discussion.

<u>Hazardous Air Pollutants</u>

As discussed in the Form 10-K, the EPA released the final MATS rule in December 2011, which had a compliance date, with a widely granted one-year extension, of April 2016. The required controls have been installed and are operational at all affected Entergy units. In May 2024 the EPA issued a final rule revising portions of the MATS rule, including a reduction to the emission limit for filterable particulate matter. The revised standard will become effective July 2027 and could require additional capital investment and/or additional other operation and maintenance costs at Entergy's coal-fired generating units. In March 2025, as part of its deregulatory agenda, the EPA announced that it was reconsidering the May 2024 MATS rule and that sources interested in a presidential exemption (two years, with additional exemptions available) should provide a recommendation to the EPA by March 31, 2025. Clean Air Act Section 112(i)(4) grants the President authority to issue an exemption if he determines that "the technology to implement such standard is not available and that it is in the national security interests of the United States to do so." Entergy requested and received presidential exemptions for emissions of filterable particulate matter from Nelson Unit 6 and White Bluff Unit 1. The exemption lasts for a period of two years beyond the rule's compliance date, i.e., from July 8, 2027 through July 8, 2029. Additionally, in June 2025, the EPA proposed to repeal certain aspects of the May 2024 MATS rule including the revised emission limit for filterable particulate matter for which the presidential exemption was granted. Comments on the proposed rule are due August 2025, and the EPA is expected to finalize the rule by the end of 2025.

<u>Good Neighbor Plan/Cross-State Air Pollution Rule</u>

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 (NOx) 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

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ic4e4226ff138418890e5015ff3b6f94d_7)</u>

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.

<u>Greenhouse Gas Emissions</u>

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in May 2024 the EPA finalized rules regulating greenhouse gas emissions from new combustion turbine electric generating units (EGUs) under Section 111(b) of the Clean Air Act and from certain existing coal- and gas-fired EGUs under Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act. For new gas combustion turbine EGUs, the final rule includes three subcategories of emission standards based on the unit's annual capacity factor. Base load (>40% annual capacity factor) EGUs are subject to a Phase 1 output-based CO2 efficiency standard followed by a more stringent Phase 2 CO2 standard which will apply beginning January 1, 2032. The Phase 2 standard was established based on an EPA determination that carbon capture and sequestration represents the best system of emission reduction for new base load combustion turbine EGUs.

In June 2025 the EPA released a rule proposing to repeal the May 2024 rule in its entirety, or alternatively, to repeal (1) the Phase 2 standard requiring carbon capture and sequestration for new combustion turbines because it is not an adequately demonstrated technology and (2) the standards for existing coal and gas units. Thus, under the proposed alternative proposal, the only standards that would remain are the Phase 1 standards for new gas combustion turbines. Comments on this proposed repeal are due August 2025, and the EPA is expected to finalize the rule by the end of 2025. Entergy continues to monitor the status of the EPA's efforts to repeal the May 2024 rule.

Entergy continues to support national legislation that would most efficiently reduce economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions and increase planning certainty for electric utilities. By virtue of its proportionally large investment in low-emitting generation technologies, Entergy has a low overall carbon dioxide emission "intensity," or rate of carbon dioxide emitted per megawatt-hour of electricity generated. In anticipation of the imposition of carbon dioxide emission limits on the electric industry, Entergy initiated actions designed to reduce its exposure to potential new governmental requirements related to carbon dioxide emissions. In 2019 Entergy announced a 2030 carbon dioxide emission rate goal focused on a 50% reduction from Entergy's base year - 2000. In September 2020, Entergy announced a commitment to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 inclusive of all businesses, all applicable gases, and all emission scopes. In 2022, Entergy enhanced its commitment to include an interim goal of 50% carbon-free energy generating capacity by 2030 and expanded its interim emission rate goal to include all purchased power. Due to stronger than initially expected sales growth, likely necessitating the development of new generation capacity that is not carbon-free, and uncertainty with respect to the tax credits applicable to carbon-free generation, Entergy believes that (1) achievement of the carbon intensity goal may be delayed beyond 2030 and (2) achievement of the carbon-free energy generating capacity goal will not be achieved by 2030. As Entergy has communicated in various forums, its clean energy and carbon-reducing generation initiatives will be customer-led. Also, Entergy recognizes and has communicated that carbon capture and storage is a technology that Entergy is well positioned to deploy in the future. Entergy plans to pursue carbon capture and storage on new combined cycle generation when feasible and supported by customer demand. Carbon capture and storage, while offering the potential to meet customers' long-term clean energy demands, is not carbon-free nor will it be deployed in the immediate term. See "**Part I, Item 1A. RISK FACTORS**" in the Form 10-K for discussion of the risks associated with achieving these climate goals. Entergy's comprehensive, third party verified greenhouse gas inventory and progress against its voluntary goals are published on its website.

**NOW, THEREFORE**, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree and covenant as follows:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under the Credit Agreement, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower may only exercise its right to request an extension of the Termination Date on no more than one remaining occasion after June 27, 2025, and otherwise on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Extension shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender, LC Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.

For all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, this Extension and the Fee Letter referred to above shall each constitute a "Loan Document".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Except as specifically provided by this Extension, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed by all of the parties hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Extension shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender, LC Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Extension and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent as to their rights and responsibilities under this Extension. The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses of counsel), incurred by the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuing Banks and the Lenders in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Extension, the Credit Agreement and any other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of rights under this clause.

The words "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of like import in this Extension and any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant to this Extension, shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in all applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) *[Remainder of this page intentionally left blank]*

**Exhibit 10(b)**

**Amendment No. 2 to the First Amended and Restated 2019 Entergy Corporation**

**Non-Employee Director Service Recognition Program**

This Amendment No. 2 (this "**<u>Amendment</u>**") to the First Amended and Restated 2019 Entergy Corporation Non-Employee Director Service Recognition Program (as may be amended from time to time, the "**<u>Amended SRP</u>**") is made as of June 1, 2025 (the "**<u>Amendment Effective Date</u>**"). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Amended SRP.

**WHEREAS**, Section 4.1 of the Amended SRP permits the Board to amend the Amended SRP;

**WHEREAS**, the Board desires to amend the Amended SRP to increase the amount of compensation paid thereunder to better align it with current market practice;

**NOW, THEREFORE**, pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Amended SRP, the Amended SRP is hereby amended as follows, as of the Amendment Effective Date:

1. Sections 3.1(a) and 3.1(b) of the Amended SRP are amended and restated to read in their entirety as follows, respectively:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.<u>Annual Awards</u>. Unless Section 3.1(b) applies, on each Award Date, the account maintained under the Amended SRP for each Eligible Non-Employee Director will be credited with an annual award of Equity Units. As of the Amendment Effective Date, the number of Equity Units shall be determined by dividing $90,000 by the per-share closing price of the Common Stock on the NYSE on the Award Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.<u>Pro-Rated Awards</u>. Eligible Non-Employee Directors who serve on the Board for a portion of a Year of Service ending on an Award Date shall receive a prorated SRP Award on such Award Date. As of the Amendment Effective Date, Eligible Non-Employee Directors who commence service on the Board during a Year of Service and continue in service through the next Award Date shall be credited on such next Award Date with the number of Equity Units equal to $90,000 divided by the per-share closing price of the Common Stock on the NYSE on the Award Date multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days the individual served as a Non-Employee Director during the Year of Service and the denominator of which is 365 days. As of the Amendment Effective Date, for Non-Employee Directors who Separate from the Board during a Year of Service, their accounts will be credited on the last trading day of the month in which the Non-Employee Director Separates from the Board with the number of Equity Units equal to $90,000 divided by the per-share closing price of the Common Stock on the NYSE on such date multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days the individual served as a Non-Employee Director during the Year of Service and the denominator of which is 365 days.

**IN WITNESS WHEREOF**, the Company, by its duly authorized officer, has executed this Amendment to the Amended SRP, as of the Amendment Effective Date.
