Operational Earnings Highlights for Second Quarter 2013
 
·  
Utility earnings were lower driven largely by substantially higher income tax expense as well as higher non-fuel operation and maintenance expense and depreciation expense, partially offset by higher net revenue.
·  
Entergy Wholesale Commodities earnings decreased due primarily to lower net revenue and higher decommissioning expense, partially offset by lower income tax expense.
·  
Parent & Other results declined due to an increase in income tax expense on Parent & Other activities.

The company continued to make progress on its seven strategic imperatives, designed to create sustainable value for all stakeholders, including improving financial performance and reducing uncompensated risks going forward. One of those imperatives is to optimize the organization through human capital management. HCM, a months-long effort, will position Entergy to provide optimal service to all stakeholders while creating real, sustainable savings. As part of this initiative, the company completed the comprehensive redesign of the organization, which will result in approximately 800 positions being eliminated. Total savings from HCM are estimated in the range of approximately $200 million to $250 million by 2016.

“Difficult decisions like job reductions are sometimes the very tough outcome of making long-term, fundamental improvements in the way a company works,” said Leo Denault, Entergy’s chairman and chief executive officer. “The redesign process has been comprehensive, thoughtful and focused squarely on being fair to our employees throughout the process and being responsive to the needs of our customers, our employees, our communities and our owners."

Entergy’s business highlights also included the following:
·  
Customers ranked the Utility operating companies as the top five in the nation for proactive outage communications, as determined by JD Power and Associates.
·  
The Utility operating companies offered enhanced rate mitigation to address concerns raised in the transaction approval process for the spin-merge of the transmission business with ITC.
·  
EGSL signed an agreement to supply up to 200 megawatts to Sempra Energy’s proposed Cameron LNG liquefaction project.
·  
In response to a request for proposals, Entergy submitted a bid to NYPA to provide 1,375 megawatts from IPEC beginning in 2016.

Consolidated Operating Cash Flow

Entergy’s operating cash flow in second quarter 2013 was $572 million compared to $587 million in second quarter 2012. The overall quarterly decrease was due primarily to higher income tax payments and non-capital spending related to ANO recovery from the March 31 industrial accident. Partially offsetting was the receipt of proceeds from the DOE resulting from litigation regarding storage of spent nuclear fuel in second quarter 2013 and a second quarter 2012 regulatory refund to a wholesale customer associated with rough production cost equalization.

Variations in cash flow from net revenue also contributed; EWC net revenue declined while Utility net revenue increased. In addition, intercompany income tax payments contributed to the line of business variances, but were largely offsetting between the segments.

Table 3 provides the components of operating cash flow contributed by each business with current quarter and year-to-date comparisons.

II.  
Utility

In second quarter 2013, Utility earnings were $1.10 per share on an as-reported basis and $1.18 per share on an operational basis, compared to as-reported earnings per share of $1.72 and operational earnings per share of $1.77 in second quarter 2012. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in Utility was due largely to significantly higher income tax expense. The prior period results reflected an agreement reached with the IRS regarding storm cost financings in Louisiana, which reduced second quarter 2012 income tax expense. The net income effect was partially offset by a regulatory charge for customer sharing of the benefits of the IRS agreement, which reduced net revenue in 2012.

Utility net revenue was higher than a year ago. The second quarter 2012 regulatory charge noted above was a factor. Pricing adjustments also contributed to the net revenue increase. Current year net revenue reflects regulatory actions from placing major generation investments in service. A portion of the net revenue increase was for recovery of costs below the net revenue line, including depreciation, taxes other than income taxes and non-fuel operation and maintenance expenses.

Partially offsetting net revenue increases was lower sales volume, including the effects of weather. Weather was below normal in second quarter 2013 compared to the warmer-than-normal temperatures experienced one year ago. On a weather-adjusted basis, billed retail sales declined (2.0) percent.

Retail electric sales in billed gigawatt-hours by customer segment are summarized in Table 4. Current quarter sales reflect the following:
·  
Residential sales in second quarter 2013, on a weather-adjusted basis, decreased (3.6) percent compared to second quarter 2012.
·  
Commercial and governmental sales, on a weather-adjusted basis, decreased (2.4) percent quarter over quarter.
·  
Industrial sales in the second quarter decreased (0.5) percent compared to the same quarter of 2012.

A few factors contributed to these quarter-over-quarter decreases. Residential and commercial declines were partially due to fewer billing days. Energy efficiency and demand side management efforts, which were expected, and sluggish economic growth also contributed. Industrial sales were down principally due to lower results in the small- to mid-sized segments in Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi.

Second quarter 2013 results also reflected higher non-fuel operation and maintenance expense and higher depreciation expense. As noted above, a portion of the expense increases were associated with plant acquisitions and regulatory actions that were offset in net revenue.

The EWC operational adjusted EBITDA decrease was due largely to a decline in period-over-period net revenue, driven by lower volume and a lower overall realized price for EWC’s nuclear fleet. Nuclear production declined due to higher refueling and unplanned outage days. Realized price for EWC’s nuclear fleet declined (4.7) percent quarter over quarter due primarily to lower energy pricing, partially offset by higher capacity pricing. Energy pricing for the current quarter averaged approximately $42 per megawatt hour, down from approximately $45 per megawatt hour in the prior period. Average capacity prices for the Northeast nuclear plants increased quarter over quarter, to approximately $3.6 per kilowatt-month in the current period from approximately $2.1 per kilowatt-month.

EWC earnings per share for second quarter 2013 were $0.06 on an as-reported basis and $0.07 on an operational basis, compared to the second quarter 2012 earnings of $0.40 per share on both an as-reported and an operational basis. The decrease in operational earnings was partially attributable to the operational adjusted EBITDA drivers noted above. Higher decommissioning expense also contributed. In the second quarter of 2012, a decommissioning liability adjustment, due primarily to an updated decommissioning cost study, reduced decommissioning expense. These decreases were partially offset by lower income tax expense.

Table 6 provides a comparative summary of EWC operational performance measures.

Table 7 provides information on current forward capacity and generation contracts for EWC’s fleet, as well as total revenue projections based on market prices as of June 30, 2013. EWC uses a combination of forward physical and financial contracts, including swaps, collars, put and/or call options, to manage forward commodity price risk. Certain hedge volumes have price downside and upside relative to market price movements. The contracted minimum, current expected value and sensitivities are provided to show potential variations. Although the sensitivities reflect the minimum, they may not reflect the total maximum upside potential from higher market prices. Information contained in Table 7 represents projections at a point in time and will vary over time based on numerous factors, such as future market prices, contracting activities and generation.

IV.  
Parent & Other

Parent & Other reported a loss of $(0.24) per share on an as-reported and an operational basis in the current quarter, compared to a second quarter 2012 as-reported and operational loss of $(0.06) per share. The decline was due to an increase in income tax expense on Parent & Other activities. Second quarter 2012 benefited from a favorable federal appeals court decision affirming Entergy’s entitlement to claim foreign tax credits for the U.K. Windfall Tax.

V.  
2013 Earnings Guidance

Entergy affirmed its 2013 operational earnings guidance range of $4.60 to $5.40 per share. The 2013 operational earnings guidance is detailed in Table 8. Year-over-year changes are shown as point estimates and are applied to 2012 operational earnings to compute the 2013 guidance midpoint. Drivers for the 2013 operational earnings guidance range are listed separately. Because there is a range of possible outcomes associated with each earnings driver, a range is applied to the guidance midpoint to produce Entergy’s guidance range.

Originally prepared November 2012 and updated February 2013 to reflect 2012 final results.

Key assumptions supporting 2013 operational earnings guidance are as follows:

Utility
·  
Normal weather
·  
Increased net revenue due to the absence of the second quarter 2012 regulatory charge
·  
Retail sales growth of around 1.25 percent on a weather-adjusted basis
·  
Increased net revenue from rate actions, including those associated with the Waterford 3 steam generator replacement project, a full year of the Grand Gulf extended power uprate and the Hinds and Hot Spring acquisitions, which are partially offset by increases in non-fuel operation and maintenance expense, depreciation expense and taxes other than income taxes
·  
Increased non-fuel operation and maintenance expense due to plant acquisitions and other general expense increases
·  
Increased taxes other than income taxes resulting largely from new plant acquisitions as well as increased franchise taxes
·  
Increased depreciation expense associated with capital spending at the Utility and the new depreciation rates established in the ETI rate case in July 2012
·  
Decreased other income due primarily to lower allowance for equity funds used during construction as significant projects moved into service (Waterford 3 steam generator, Grand Gulf extended power uprate)
·  
Increased interest expense due primarily to a higher level of debt outstanding
·  
Higher effective income tax rate in 2013, due largely to the net effect of items recorded in 2012

Entergy Wholesale Commodities
·  
EWC drivers represent expected variances at the segment level for 2013
·  
46 TWh of output for the total fleet, reflecting an approximate 92 percent nuclear capacity factor compared to an 89 percent nuclear capacity factor in 2012; 2013 includes approximately 30- to 35-day scheduled refueling outages at Indian Point 3, Pilgrim and Vermont Yankee in Spring 2013 and Palisades in Fall 2013 (outage days vary depending on the scope of the outage); as of second quarter 2013, the Palisades Fall 2013 refueling outage has been rescheduled to early 2014
·  
Assumes full year operations for all nuclear plants
·  
$47/MWh average total energy and capacity revenues for EWC-nuclear fleet based on published market prices at the end of September 2012
o  
$45/MWh average revenue per MWh on contracted energy volumes, representing 84 percent of planned generation (prepared November 2012)
o  
$43/MWh average market price on 16 percent unsold energy volumes (prepared November 2012); as of the end of June 2013, average market energy price for 2013 unsold volumes was approximately $47.5/MWh
o  
$2.3/kW-month average capacity revenue under contract on 28 percent capacity (excludes bundled capacity contracts, which are priced within the contracted energy volumes above) (prepared November 2012)
o  
$1.8/kW-month average capacity price on 56 percent unsold capacity (prepared November 2012); as of the end of June 2013, average market capacity price for 2013 unsold volumes was approximately $3.9/kW-month

$77 million non-nuclear portfolio net revenue based on prices at the end of September 2012
·  
Nuclear fuel expense around $6.5/MWh for 2013 compared to approximately $5.9/MWh for 2012
·  
Decreased purchased power expense reflected in net revenue
·  
Non-fuel operation and maintenance expense, including nuclear refueling outage expenses, around $24.3/MWh reflecting increases in refueling outage amortization for Vermont Yankee following a reduction in 2012 due to the asset impairment, general expense increases and higher costs at RISEC due to higher maintenance outage costs
·  
Increased decommissioning expense due to the absence of a reduction in the asset retirement obligation resulting from updated decommissioning cost studies completed in the second quarter 2012, which reduced decommissioning expense in the prior year period
·  
Increased depreciation expense on nuclear assets due to higher depreciable plant balances as well as declining useful life of nuclear assets; also contributing was the absence of the third quarter 2012 DOE litigation awards for Indian Point 2 which resulted in a reversal of previously recorded depreciation expense
·  
Lower effective income tax rate in 2013

Parent & Other
·  
Higher Parent interest expense due largely to higher average debt outstanding
·  
Lower income tax expense on Parent & Other activities

Other
·  
2013 average fully diluted shares outstanding of approximately 177 million
·  
Overall effective income tax rate of 34 percent in 2013, the timing and segment of which may ultimately vary
·  
Pension discount rate of 5.1 percent; the final average pension discount rate is 4.36 percent


 
 

 


Earnings guidance for 2013 should be considered in association with earnings sensitivities as shown in Table 9. These sensitivities illustrate the estimated change in operational earnings per share resulting from changes in various revenue and expense drivers. Traditionally, the most significant variables for earnings drivers are retail sales for the Utility and energy prices for EWC. In addition, the operational earnings guidance range for 2013 takes into consideration a number of regulatory initiatives (rate actions on investments) underway across the Utility jurisdictions at the time guidance was initiated.

Estimated annual impacts shown in Table 9 are intended to be indicative rather than precise guidance.

Long-term Financial Outlook

Entergy believes it offers a long-term, competitive utility investment opportunity combined with a valuable option represented by a unique, clean, non-utility generation business located in attractive power markets. Table 10 summarizes the current five-year financial outlook for 2010 through 2014. Entergy also noted that the five-year financial outlook does not reflect the effects of the proposed spin-merge of the transmission business discussed in Appendix A.

Table 10: Long-term Financial Outlook (see Appendix F for definitions of certain measures)
As of July 2013
Category
Long-term Outlook
Assumption
     
Earnings
Utility net income
Around 6 percent compound annual net income growth rate over the 2010 – 2014 horizon (2009 base year).
 
Entergy Wholesale Commodities results
Revenue projections through 2014 will experience volatility due to commodity market activities – one of the most important fundamental drivers for this business. At current sold and forward prices with its existing asset portfolio and contracts, EWC is expected to deliver declining adjusted EBITDA for the period through 2014 compared to 2010. However, EWC offers a valuable long-term option from the potential positive effects of economic growth (driving increased load, market heat rates, capacity prices and natural gas prices), aging and unprofitable unit retirements (driving market heat rate expansion and capacity price increases), rationalization of supply and growth of demand in natural gas markets, and impacts from environmental legislation.
 
Corporate results
Results will vary depending upon factors including future effective income tax and interest rates and the amount / timing of share repurchases, if any.
     
Capital Deployment
A balanced capital investment / return program
Entergy continues to see value-added investment opportunities at the Utility that benefit customers, as well as an investment outlook at EWC that supports continued safe, secure and reliable operations and opportunistic investments. Entergy aspires to fund this capital program without issuing traditional common equity, while maintaining a competitive capital return program. Given the company’s financial profile with a mix of utility and non-utility businesses, both common stock dividends and share repurchases will be considered in establishing return of capital policies. Over the five-year period from 2010 – 2014 under the current long-term business outlook, capital deployment through dividends and share repurchases is projected to total around $4 billion. The amount of share repurchases may vary as a result of material changes in business results, capital spending or new investment opportunities.
     
Credit Quality
 
Strong liquidity.
Solid credit metrics that support ready access to capital on reasonable terms.

A.  
Spin-Merge of Transmission Business

In December 2011, the Entergy and ITC boards of directors approved a definitive agreement under which Entergy will spin off and then merge its electric transmission business with a subsidiary of ITC. The transaction is targeted to close in 2013 and is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions including retail regulatory approvals. Key transaction approvals from ITC shareholders, FERC and the NRC, as well as a private letter ruling from the IRS confirming the tax-free nature of the transaction structure were received in second quarter 2013. Approvals by the Utility operating companies’ retail regulators and the Missouri PSC remain pending. After careful consideration of the input from parties in the retail regulatory proceedings, the Utility operating companies and ITC have proposed a rate mitigation plan.

Appendix A provides a summary of certain pending activities and events.

(see Appendix F for definitions of certain abbreviations or acronyms)
Proceeding
Pending Activities / Events
Retail Regulators
 
 
Recent Activity: To address concerns raised by stakeholders in the retail regulatory proceedings regarding increased customer costs, the Utility operating companies and ITC proposed a rate mitigation plan. Under the plan, the Utility operating companies and ITC have offered an initial five-year period of wholesale rate discounts and retail bill credits as follows:
· EAI customers: $127.5 million
 
· EGSL and ELL customers: $101.8 million
 
· EMI customers: $70.8 million
 
· ENOI customer: $20.0 million
 
· ETI customers: $67.0 million
 
Following the first five years after closing of the transaction, the economic and performance benefits of ITC’s ownership will be measured and verified by an independent auditor to determine if they offset the ownership cost increase resulting from ITC’s weighted average cost of capital. If the benefits do exceed such costs, rate mitigation will cease. If they do not, wholesale rate discounts and retail bill credits will continue until they do.
 
In addition, the Utility operating companies have offered additional retail bill credits to address the effects of moving to a forward test year:
· EAI customers: $6.9 million
 
· EGSL and ELL customers: $12.6 million
 
· EMI customers: $6.7 million
 
· ENOI customer: $0.4 million
 
· ETI customers: $13.1 million
 
Lastly, ETI customers will also experience net avoided costs of $10.0 million due to the effects of eliminating transmission cost allocation under the Entergy System Agreement. EGSL and ELL customers will also experience net avoided costs of $16.3 million due to the effects of both eliminating transmission cost allocation under the Entergy System Agreement and moving to MISO’s transmission pricing zone structure.
The total rate mitigation funds for existing Utility operating companies’ customers, wholesale and retail, is $413.4 million plus $39.7 million to address the effects of moving to a forward test year.
Hearings were completed in the PUCT, Missouri PSC and LPSC proceedings in May, June and July, respectively. The ALJs in the PUCT proceeding issued a proposal for decision on July 9, 2013 recommending against approval of the proposed transaction, but noting that if the PUCT approves the transaction, certain conditions should be imposed on ITC and ETI. The proposal for decision did not consider the revised rate mitigation plan proposal outlined above.
Next Steps: An interlocutory appeal is pending at the LPSC with respect to the ALJ’s ruling regarding excluding from evidence the rate mitigation plan proposal outlined above. At the conclusion of the LPSC hearing, the ALJ established a post-hearing procedural schedule that indicates LPSC consideration at the Oct. 16, 2013 B&E meeting instead of the Sept. 18, 2013 meeting in the original schedule. ELL, EGSL and ITC plan to request at the July 31, 2013 B&E meeting that the original consideration date be preserved.
The PUCT is expected to consider ETI’s and ITC’s application at the Aug. 9, 2013 Open Meeting. The jurisdictional deadline for a decision in Texas is Aug. 18, 2013.
The APSC revised the procedural schedule and established additional testimony deadlines. Staff and intervenor supplemental testimony is due Aug. 15, 2013. EAI’s and ITC’s supplemental rebuttal testimony is due Aug. 23, 2013. The deadline for settlement is Aug. 28, 2013. A hearing is scheduled to begin Sept. 4, 2013.
In the MPSC proceeding, a paper hearing is scheduled in August 2013. Rejoinder testimony is due Aug. 12, 2013 in the CCNO proceeding and a hearing is scheduled to commence on Aug. 27, 2013. A decision from the Missouri PSC is pending.
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
Sections 203, 205 and 305(a) Filings Recent Activity: On June 20, 2013, FERC issued an order approving the Utility operating companies’ and ITC’s Sept. 24, 2012 joint application related to the proposed transaction, subject to the outcome of a hearing or settlement judge procedures on certain rate issues and transaction-related agreements. The hearing is held in abeyance for settlement procedures. The first settlement conference took place in mid-July.
Next Steps: The parties will continue discussions toward reaching settlement of the rate and agreement issues that remain pending. The transaction can close, subject to refund, with these issues pending.
Section 204 Filings Recent Activity: On May 16, 2013, FERC approved Entergy’s applications seeking authorization related to certain debt financings necessary to effectuate the ITC transaction and ITC’s application seeking authorizations related to certain post-closing financings.

Proceeding
Pending Activities / Events
Internal Revenue Service
Recent Activity: On May 31, 2013, the IRS issued a private letter ruling that certain requirements for the tax-free treatment of the distribution of TransCo have been met.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Recent Activity: On May 3, 2013, the NRC approved the license transfer requests and amendments as part of the steps to complete the transaction.
Securities and Exchange Commission
Recent Activity: Entergy filed the Mid South TransCo registration statement on July 24, 2013. The registration statement reflects Entergy’s intent to pursue a combination partial split-off and spin-off prior to the merger of the transmission business with ITC. In a split-off, Entergy shareholders will be offered the opportunity to exchange their Entergy common stock for TransCo common units at a to be determined exchange ratio (as described in the registration statement), subject to an upper limit on the exchange ratio. The terms of the exchange offer (including the number of TransCo units to be offered in the exchange offer, the discount to ITC’s stock price and the upper limit) will be determined immediately prior to the launch of the exchange offer and announced pursuant to a press release. Entergy also retains the option to contribute up to 4.999 percent of ITC shares at closing of the transmission business merger into an exchange trust to offer to exchange for Entergy common stock up to six months after close.
Next Steps: The SEC has 30 days from the filing of the Mid South TransCo registration statement to review and provide comments to Entergy.
Hart-Scott-Rodino Notification
Recent Activity: On Dec. 14, 2012, Entergy and ITC each filed a premerger notification under the HSR Act. The 30-day waiting period required under the HSR Act expired on Jan. 14, 2013.

 
Additional Information and Where to Find It
ITC filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-184073) with the SEC registering the offer and sale of shares of ITC common stock to be issued to Entergy shareholders in connection with the proposed transactions. This registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on Feb. 25, 2013. ITC is also expected to file a post-effective amendment to the above registration statement. ITC shareholders are urged to read the prospectus included in the ITC registration statement (and the post-effective amendment to the ITC registration statement, when available) and any other relevant documents because they contain important information about TransCo and the proposed transactions. In addition, on July 24, 2013, TransCo filed a registration statement on Form S-4/S-1 (Registration No. 333-190094) with the SEC registering the offer and sale of TransCo common units to be issued to Entergy shareholders in connection with the proposed transactions. This registration statement includes a prospectus of TransCo related to the proposed transactions. Entergy will file a tender offer statement on Schedule TO with the SEC related to the exchange of shares of Entergy common stock for the TransCo common units. Entergy shareholders are urged to read the prospectuses included in the ITC registration statement (and the post-effective amendment to the ITC registration statement, when available), the Transco registration statement, the tender offer statement on Schedule TO (when available) and any other relevant documents because they contain important information about ITC, TransCo and the proposed transactions. The registration statements, prospectuses, tender offer statement and other documents relating to the proposed transactions (when they are available) can be obtained free of charge from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The documents, when available, can also be obtained free of charge from Entergy upon written request to Entergy Corporation, Investor Relations, P.O. Box 61000, New Orleans, LA 70161 or by calling Entergy’s Investor Relations information line at 1-888-ENTERGY (368-3749), or from ITC upon written request to ITC Holdings Corp., Investor Relations, 27175 Energy Way, Novi, MI 48377 or by calling 248-946-3000.

(g)
The current quarter and year-to-date increases reflect a regulatory charge recorded in the second quarter of last year which was associated with the agreement to share income tax benefits resulting from an IRS agreement [discussed in (l) below]. Pricing factors also contributed to the increases. Net revenue reflected the net effect of pricing adjustments from regulatory actions, primarily from placing the Grand Gulf extended power uprate, Waterford 3 steam generator replacement and the Hinds and Hot Spring power plant acquisitions in service. The ETI 2012 rate case order and the EAI energy efficiency rider also contributed. A portion of the net revenue increases was for recovery of costs below the net revenue line including non-fuel operation and maintenance expense, depreciation expense and taxes other than income taxes. These increases were partially offset by lower retail sales volume.

(h)
The current quarter decrease was due to several factors. Nuclear generation declined due to an increase in refueling and unplanned outage days. Realized price for EWC’s nuclear business also declined, driven by lower energy pricing which was partially offset by higher capacity pricing. Unfavorable effects of lower power prices on electricity derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges also contributed. The year-to-date decrease was largely due to an increase in refueling and unplanned outage days as well as the effects of lower power prices on electricity derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges. The year-to-date decrease was partially offset by higher nuclear energy and capacity pricing.
 
(i)
The current quarter and year-to-date decreases were due primarily to additions to plant in service, including the Grand Gulf extended power uprate, the Waterford 3 steam generator replacement and the Hinds and Hot Spring power plant acquisitions. Higher depreciation rates at ETI resulting from the 2012 rate case order also contributed.
 
(j)
Decreases in the current quarter and year-to-date periods reflected reductions in the asset retirement obligation recorded in the second quarter of the prior year, which factored in, among other things, an updated decommissioning cost study for the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station, and reduced decommissioning expense.
 
(k)
The current quarter and year-to-date decreases were attributable to several factors, including increased spending on fossil plant outages; higher nuclear spending, including costs related to the generator stator accident at ANO and higher compensation and benefits costs (largely post-employment benefits). Higher fossil plant spending associated with the Hinds and Hot Spring power plant acquisitions and higher energy efficiency costs at EAI, which are offset in net revenue as discussed in (g) above, also contributed. The as-reported decreases included an increase in expenses incurred in connection with the planned spin-merge of the transmission business compared to 2012 and HCM implementation expenses in second quarter 2013.
 
(l)
The current quarter and year-to-date decreases were due primarily to an item recorded in the prior year. Second quarter 2012 included a decrease in income tax expense resulting from an agreement reached with the IRS associated with certain storm costs financings in Louisiana. The year-to-date decrease was partially offset by the first quarter 2012 write off of an EGSL regulatory asset for income taxes to align the regulatory treatment of income taxes associated with certain items (primarily pension expense) and the financial accounting treatment of those taxes.
 
(m) 
Increases in the current quarter and year-to-date were due primarily to a state income tax benefit of approximately $17 million recorded in the second quarter 2013.
 
(n)
The current quarter and year-to-date decreases were due largely to an item recorded in the prior year - a favorable decision received in June 2012 from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirming Entergy’s entitlement to claim foreign tax credits for the U.K. Windfall Tax.
 
(o)
The year-to-date as-reported increase was due to an item recorded in the prior year. In first quarter 2012, an impairment charge was recorded to write down the carrying values of Vermont Yankee and related assets to their fair value, in accordance with GAAP.
 
(p)
The year-to-date decrease was due primarily to higher debt balances as well as lower allowance for funds used during construction due to completion of several major projects in mid- to late-2012.
 
(q)
The year-to-date decrease was due primarily to an increase in ad valorem taxes resulting from 2013 higher assessments as well as an increase in local franchise taxes resulting from higher residential and commercial revenues compared to the prior year.
 


 
 

 


Appendix B-3 lists special items by business with quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year comparisons. Amounts are shown on both an earnings per share basis and a net income basis. Special items are those events that are not routine. Special items are included in as-reported earnings per share consistent with GAAP, but are excluded from operational earnings per share. As a result, operational earnings per share is considered a non-GAAP measure.

Entergy Arkansas
Authorized ROE: 10.2%
Last Filed Rate Base: see next column
Rate Case Recent Activity / Next Steps: Discovery is in progress. Staff and intervenor direct testimony is due Aug. 2, 2013. Hearings are scheduled to begin Oct. 22, 2013. New rates are expected to become effective January 2014.
Rate Case Background: On March 1, 2013, EAI filed a rate case reflecting a requested ROE of 10.4 percent and based on a test year period ending Dec. 31, 2012 with known and measurable changes through Dec. 31, 2013. In the primary scenario assuming only the transition to MISO, EAI is requesting a rate increase of $174 million based on rate base of $5.0 billion. The alternate scenario, which assumes completion of the spin-merge of the transmission business with ITC, reflects a $218 million rate increase request based on rate base of $4.3 billion. Both scenarios propose a capacity cost recovery rider and a rider to recover costs associated with MISO and ITC (if the ITC transaction is completed).
Entergy Gulf States Louisiana
Authorized ROE Range:

9.45% - 10.45% (gas)
Last Filed Rate Base: see next column for electric
$0.05 billion (gas) filed 1/13 based on 9/30/12 test yr
Rate Case Recent Activity / Next Steps: Discovery is in progress. EGSL and ELL are seeking LPSC review of an ALJ ruling denying a motion to consolidate the ELL and EGSL rate cases. As part of the filing, EGSL and ELL requested a 60-day delay in the procedural schedule. The matter is on the agenda for the July 31, 2013 B&E meeting. On July 26, 2013, the ALJ granted an intervenor motion to temporarily suspend the current testimony deadlines pending the appeal decision. New rates are expected to become effective in April 2014.
Rate Case Background: On Feb. 15, 2013, EGSL filed an electric rate case reflecting a requested ROE of 10.4 percent and based on a test year period ending June 30, 2012 with known and measurable changes through Dec. 31, 2013. In the scenario that assumes that both the MISO transition and the proposed spin-merge of the transmission business with ITC are completed, EGSL is requesting a rate increase of $28 million based on rate base of $2.1 billion. The alternate scenario, which assumes only the transition to MISO, reflects a $24 million rate increase request based on rate base of $2.7 billion. Both scenarios propose a new transmission rider, continuation of the capacity rider and a new three-year FRP for 2013 - 2015 test years. The proposed FRP reflects a bandwidth of +/- 75 basis points and 60 percent / 40 percent sharing between customers and the company.
Other Recent Activity: On May 21, 2013, the LPSC approved an uncontested settlement resolving the LPSC’s review of the authorized ROE for EGSL’s gas operations. The settlement extends EGSL’s current Gas Rate Stabilization Plan for an additional three-year term with a revised ROE midpoint of 9.95 percent and a bandwidth of +/- 50 basis points.
Entergy Louisiana

LPSC Rate Case Recent Activity / Next Steps: Discovery is in progress. EGSL and ELL are seeking LPSC review of an ALJ ruling denying a motion to consolidate the ELL and EGSL rate cases. As part of the filing, EGSL and ELL requested a 60-day delay in the procedural schedule. The matter is on the agenda for the July 31, 2013 B&E meeting. On July 26, 2013, the ALJ granted an intervenor motion to temporarily suspend the current testimony deadlines pending the appeal decision. New rates are expected to become effective in April 2014.
LPSC Rate Case Background: On Feb. 15, 2013, ELL filed a rate case reflecting a requested ROE of 10.4 percent and based on a test year period ending June 30, 2012 with known and measurable changes through Dec. 31, 2013. In the scenario that assumes that both the MISO transition and the proposed spin-merge of the transmission business with ITC are completed, ELL is requesting a rate increase of $168 million based on rate base of $3.8 billion. The alternate scenario, which assumes only the transition to MISO, reflects a $144 million rate increase request based on rate base of $4.5 billion. Both scenarios propose a new transmission rider, continuation of the capacity rider and a new three-year FRP for 2013 - 2015 test years. The proposed FRP reflects a bandwidth of +/- 75 basis points and 60 percent / 40 percent sharing between customers and the company.
Other Recent Activity: Discovery is in progress in ELL’s rate case for its Algiers territory, which is regulated by the CCNO. ELL is requesting a rate increase of $13 million (phased in over three years), including a 10.4 percent ROE and an FRP mechanism identical to the ELL request. Advisors direct testimony is due Nov. 11, 2013. Hearings are scheduled for April 2014. New rates are expected to become effective in second quarter 2014.
Entergy Mississippi
Authorized ROE Range:
9.76% - 11.83%
(per 4/13 revised FRP filing)
Last Filed Rate Base: $1.7 billion filed 4/13 based on 12/31/12 test yr
Recent Activity: On April 30, 2013, EMI filed its revised evaluation report for the 2012 test year. The revised filing reflected a 7.91 percent earned ROE, which was below the bandwidth of 9.76 to 11.83 percent. The calculated 10.8 percent FRP midpoint ROE included the benefit of a 0.74 percent performance incentive. On June 6, 2013, EMI and Staff filed a stipulation resolving EMI’s 2012 test year FRP. Without agreeing to any specific disallowances, the stipulation provides for a $22.3 million rate increase, which equates to an 8.96 percent earned ROE. MPSC consideration of the stipulation is pending.
Background: EMI’s FRP includes an annual redetermination of the benchmark ROE based on a formula tied to interest rates and equity risk premiums, with an adjustment based upon performance ratings. Returns inside the bandwidth result in no change in rates while returns outside the bandwidth reset rates prospectively to or within the bandwidth depending on performance, subject to a 4 percent revenue limit. The annual filing occurs each March with rates effective each June (if no hearing) or July (if hearing). EMI’s FRP does not have an expiration date.
Entergy New Orleans
Authorized ROE Range:
10.7% - 11.5% (electric)
10.25% - 11.25% (gas)
Last Filed Rate Base: $0.3 billion (electric) and $0.09 billion (gas) filed 5/12 based on 12/31/11 test yr
Recent Activity: The CCNO revised the procedural schedule to resolve the remaining disputed items in the 2011 test year FRP. The hearing is now scheduled in August 2013. ENOI is also in discussions with the CCNO Advisors and intervenors regarding a possible settlement of the 2011 test year FRP and possible extension of the FRP, which would require CCNO approval. ENOI currently plans to file a base rate case in 2014, based on a 2013 test year. The rate case filing was a condition in CCNO’s approval of a PPA for ENOI’s 20 percent participation in ELL’s Ninemile 6 CCGT under construction.
Background: A three-year FRP beginning with the 2009 test year was adopted in April 2009. Key provisions include an 11.1 percent electric ROE with a +/- 40 basis points bandwidth and a 10.75 percent gas ROE with a +/- 50 basis points bandwidth. Earnings outside the bandwidth reset to the midpoint ROE. Rates change on a prospective basis depending on whether ENOI is over- or under-earning. The FRP also includes a recovery mechanism for CCNO-approved capacity additions plus provisions for extraordinary cost changes and force majeure.
In October 2012, ENOI implemented, subject to refund pending resolution of remaining disputed items, rate changes reflected in its revised evaluation report for the 2011 test year FRP. The ROEs reflected in the revised report were 9.57 percent earned ROE for electric (which is below the bandwidth, resulting in a $4.9 million electric base revenue increase) and a 10.83 percent earned ROE for gas (which is within the bandwidth, resulting in no change in gas base rates).

Authorized ROE: 9.8%
Last Filed Rate Base:
$1.7 billion filed 11/11 based on 6/30/11 adjusted test yr
Recent Activity: At the May 9, 2013 open meeting, the PUCT approved a Purchased Power Capacity Rider. In June 2013, ETI withdrew its application seeking special circumstances recovery of prior capacity costs, without prejudice to seek in future proceedings. ETI currently plans to file a rate case in third quarter 2013.
Background: ETI implemented a $27.7 million overall retail rate increase effective July 2012 pursuant to a final PUCT order authorizing an allowed ROE of 9.8 percent. On Nov. 28, 2012 and Jan. 11, 2013, ETI filed appeals of the PUCT final order and order on rehearing, respectively, in Travis County district court. The appeals remain pending.

Transmission, Proposal to Join MISO and System Agreement
Authorized ROE:
11.0% (r)
Last Filed OATT Rate Base:
$2.5 billion (s) filed 5/13 based on 12/31/12 test year
Proposal to Join MISO Recent Activity: On June 18, 2013, a hearing was held on EAI’s filing seeking confirmation from the Missouri PSC that it has no jurisdiction over EAI's proposal to join MISO or, in the alternative, requesting the Missouri PSC find that EAI joining MISO is not detrimental to the public interest in Missouri. A Missouri PSC decision is pending. The Utility operating companies continue to target joining MISO in December 2013.
Background: Between June 2012 and April 2013, the LPSC, PUCT, APSC, CCNO and MPSC each issued orders approving, subject to certain conditions, the Utility operating companies’ requests for MISO membership.
System Agreement Recent Activity: A hearing was held in May 2013 in the FERC proceeding regarding calculations for re-pricing wholesale opportunity sales of energy by EAI to third parties for the period 2000 through 2009. An initial decision is expected in August 2013.
Background: On June 21, 2012, FERC issued an order relating to an LPSC complaint involving Entergy’s accounting for wholesale opportunity sales of energy by EAI to third parties during the period 2000 through 2009. The order found that, although the sales at issue were permitted under the System Agreement and were made and priced in good faith, the after-the-fact accounting methodology used to determine the cost of the energy used to supply the sales was inconsistent with the System Agreement. The Utility operating companies’ request for rehearing remains pending.
The June 2012 FERC decision established further hearing procedures to determine the calculations. In September and October 2012, the Utility operating companies submitted testimony that included a proposed illustrative re-run of intra-system bills for 2003, 2004 and 2006 (the three years with the highest volume of opportunity sales) consistent with the directives in FERC’s order. The proposed illustrative re-run of intra-system bills shows that the potential cost for EAI would be up to $12 million for those three years, and the potential benefit would be significantly less than that for each of the other Utility operating companies; effects to other System Agreement pricing schedules may offset these costs and benefits. On Dec. 21, 2012, the LPSC filed testimony concluding that EAI should refund approximately $75 million to the other Utility operating companies for those three years. On Feb. 1, 2013, FERC Staff and certain intervenors filed testimony in the proceeding taking positions on the opposing calculations proposed by the LPSC and the Utility operating companies. In April 2013, the Utility operating companies filed rebuttal testimony, including a revised illustrative rerun of the intra-system bills for the three years. The revised calculation resulted in an increase in the potential cost for EAI over those three years of $2.3 million compared to prior submissions. No payments will be made or received by the Utility operating companies until a decision is issued by FERC in this phase of the proceeding.

Financial and Historical Performance Measures

Appendix D-1 provides comparative financial performance measures for the current quarter. Appendix D-2 provides historical financial performance measures and operating performance metrics for the trailing eight quarters. Financial performance measures in both tables include those calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, as well as those that are considered non-GAAP measures.

As-reported measures are computed in accordance with GAAP as they include all components of net income, including special items. Operational measures are non-GAAP measures as they are calculated using operational net income, which excludes the impact of special items. A reconciliation of operational measures to as-reported measures is provided in Appendix G.

Excludes effect of special items: the proposed spin-merge of the transmission business at Utility (2012 and 2013 quarterly and year-to-date periods), HCM implementation expenses (second quarter and year-to-date 2013) at Utility and EWC and the impairment of the Vermont Yankee plant at EWC (first quarter and year-to-date 2012).

 
 

 


E.  
Planned Capital Expenditures

The capital plan for 2013 through 2015 anticipates $6.7 billion for investment, including $3.3 billion of maintenance capital, as shown in Appendix E. EWC planned maintenance capital includes capital investment for non-nuclear plants, which can vary from year to year depending on planned maintenance and generation and other technical milestones.

The $3.4 billion in other capital commitments is for specific investments and initiatives such as:
·  
Utility: the Utility’s portfolio transformation investment of $0.5 billion for ELL’s Ninemile 6 new CCGT project, approximately $0.3 billion for environmental compliance projects (included in generation) and transmission other capital of approximately $0.7 billion. Total transmission investment, including maintenance capital, is approximately $1.4 billion including spending to support the Utility’s plan to join the MISO RTO in December 2013.
·  
Entergy Wholesale Commodities: other capital commitments reflect significant projects required to continue the operation of the current generation fleet including dry cask storage, nuclear license renewal efforts, component replacement and identified repairs across the nuclear fleet, NYPA value sharing (including the last payment to be made in January 2015 for 2014 generation) and potential wedgewire screens at the Indian Point site.

Estimated capital expenditures are subject to periodic review and modification, and actual spending may vary based on a number of factors. The capital plan described in Appendix E does not include significant capital for potential projects to satisfy NRC post-Fukushima requirements. The current preliminary cost estimate for post-Fukushima requirements is approximately $265 million for the Utility, including approximately $230 million in capital and approximately $35 million in one-time operation and maintenance expenses, and approximately $345 million for Entergy Wholesale Commodities, including approximately $290 million in capital and approximately $55 million in one-time operation and maintenance expenses. These costs are expected to be incurred over the 2012 through 2018 time period, and do not include any amounts for filtered vents, for which the NRC initiated a rulemaking in first quarter 2013, or any future NRC requirements (e.g., Tier 2 and 3 activities). The capital plan also does not reflect the expected delay in spending associated with potential wedgewire screens at the Indian Point site.

The capital plan also does not reflect the effects of the proposed spin-off and merger of the transmission business with ITC discussed in Appendix A.

Definitions

Appendix F provides definitions of certain operational performance measures, as well as GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, all of which are referenced in this release. Non-GAAP measures are included in this release to provide metrics that remove the effect of financial events that are not routine, from commonly used financial metrics.

Appendix F: Definitions of Operational Performance Measures, GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Abbreviations or Acronyms
Utility Operational Performance Measures
GWh billed
Total number of GWh billed to all retail and wholesale customers
Non-fuel O&M expense per MWh
Operation, maintenance and refueling expenses per MWh of billed sales, excluding fuel, fuel-related expenses and purchased power
Number of retail customers
Number of customers at end of period
Entergy Wholesale Commodities Operational Performance Measures
Net revenue
Operating revenue less fuel, fuel related expenses and purchased power
Owned capacity
Installed capacity owned and operated by EWC, including investments in wind generation accounted for under the equity method of accounting; EWC acquired RISEC, a 583 MW natural gas-fired combined-cycle generating plant, on Dec. 20, 2011
GWh billed
Total number of GWh billed to customers, excluding investments in wind generation accounted for under the equity method of accounting
Average realized revenue per MWh
As-reported revenue per MWh billed, excluding revenue from the amortization of the Palisades below-market PPA and/or investments in wind generation accounted for under the equity method of accounting
Non-fuel O&M expense per MWh
Operation, maintenance and refueling expenses per MWh billed, excluding fuel, fuel-related expenses and purchased power and investments in wind generation accounted for under the equity method of accounting
Capacity factor
Normalized percentage of the period that the nuclear plants generate power
Production cost per MWh
Fuel and non-fuel operation and maintenance expenses according to accounting standards that directly relate to the production of electricity per MWh (based on net generation)
Refueling outage days
Number of days lost for scheduled refueling outage during the period
Planned TWh of generation
Amount of output expected to be generated by EWC resources considering plant operating characteristics, outage schedules and expected market conditions which impact dispatch, assuming uninterrupted normal operations at all plants and timely renewal of plant operating licenses; non-nuclear also includes purchases from affiliated and non-affiliated counterparties under long-term contracts and excludes energy and capacity from EWC’s wind investment accounted for under the equity method of accounting and Ritchie
Percent of planned generation under contract
Percent of planned generation output sold or purchased forward under contracts, forward physical contracts, forward financial contracts or options that mitigate price uncertainty (consistent with assumptions used in earnings guidance) that may or may not require regulatory approval or approval of transmission rights
Unit-contingent
Transaction under which power is supplied from a specific generation asset; if the asset is not operating, seller is generally not liable to buyer for any damages
Unit-contingent with availability guarantees
Transaction under which power is supplied from a specific generation asset; if the asset is not operating, seller is generally not liable to buyer for any damages, unless the actual availability over a specified period of time is below an availability threshold specified in the contract
