Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2026, evaluations were performed under the supervision and with the participation of Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy (each individually a “Registrant” and collectively the “Registrants”) management, including their respective Principal Executive Officers (PEO) and Principal Financial Officers (PFO). The evaluations assessed the effectiveness of the Registrants’ disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluations, each PEO and PFO has concluded that, as to the Registrant or Registrants for which they serve as PEO or PFO, the Registrant’s or Registrants’ disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by each Registrant in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms; and that the Registrant’s or Registrants’ disclosure controls and procedures are also effective in reasonably assuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s or Registrants’ management, including their respective PEOs and PFOs, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Under the supervision and with the participation of each Registrant’s management, including its respective PEO and PFO, each Registrant evaluated changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 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
Winter Storm Fern
See the “Winter Storm Fern” section of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis for a discussion of Winter Storm Fern. Entergy Arkansas’s current estimate for the cost of mobilizing crews and restoring power is approximately $50 million, including approximately $40 million in capital costs and approximately $10 million in non-capital costs. Natural gas purchases for Entergy Arkansas were $74 million in January 2026 compared to $25 million in January 2025.
Results of Operations
Net Income
Net income decreased $3.8 million primarily due to higher interest expense and lower volume/weather, partially offset by higher retail electric price.
Operating Revenues
Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the three months ended March 31, 2026 to the three months ended March 31, 2025:
| Amount | |||||
| (In Millions) | |||||
| 2025 operating revenues | $613.5 | ||||
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | 21.8 | ||||
| Retail electric price | 22.5 | ||||
| Volume/weather | (11.5) | ||||
| 2026 operating revenues | $646.3 |
Entergy Arkansas’s results include revenues from rate mechanisms designed to recover fuel, purchased power, and other costs such that the revenues and expenses associated with these items generally offset and do not affect net income. “Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income” includes the revenue variance associated with these items.
The retail electric price variance is primarily due to an increase in formula rate plan rates effective January 2026. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the 2025 formula rate plan filing.
The volume/weather variance is primarily due to the effect of less favorable weather on residential sales, a decrease in weather-adjusted residential usage, and a decrease in commercial usage, partially offset by an increase in industrial usage. The increase in industrial usage is primarily due to an increase in demand from large industrial customers, primarily in the primary metals and technology industries.

See Note 12 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of Entergy Arkansas’s operating revenues.
Other Income Statement Variances
Other operation and maintenance expenses increased primarily due to an increase of $6.9 million in power delivery expenses primarily due to higher vegetation maintenance costs and increased contract labor costs, partially offset by a decrease of $6.2 million in insurance expenses primarily due to higher nuclear insurance refunds.
Taxes other than income taxes increased primarily due to increases in ad valorem taxes resulting from higher assessments and millage rate increases.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased primarily due to additions to plant in service and an increase in FERC jurisdictional depreciation rates effective January 2026.
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, including portfolio rebalancing of decommissioning trust funds in first quarter 2026.
Interest expense increased primarily due to:
-
the issuances of $500 million of 5.75% Series mortgage bonds and $500 million of 4.95% Series mortgage bonds, each in January 2026;
-
the issuance of $300 million of 5.45% Series mortgage bonds in May 2025; and
-
$3.8 million in carrying costs in first quarter 2026 on retained net proceeds from the monetization of nuclear production tax credits.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 17.6% for the first quarter 2026. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2026 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the amortization of excess accumulated deferred income taxes, certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items, and book
Entergy Arkansas, LLC and Subsidiaries
Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis
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 rate was 21% for the first quarter 2025. The accrual for state income taxes was offset by certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items and the amortization of excess state accumulated deferred income taxes as a result of tax rate changes.

| Net increase in cash and cash equivalents | 301,915 | 50,313 | |||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | $577,485 | $55,060 |
Operating Activities
Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to higher collections from customers and the receipt of $48.7 million in advance payments related to customer agreements in first quarter 2026. The increase was substantially offset by higher fuel and purchased power payments and the timing of payments to vendors. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery.
Investing Activities
Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $257.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:
-
an increase of $128.0 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending on the Ironwood Power Station project and the Jefferson Power Station project;
-
an increase of $31.8 million in nuclear construction expenditures primarily due to increased spending on various nuclear projects in 2026;
-
net purchases of $50.2 million in 2026 compared to net proceeds of $12.3 million in 2025 as a result of fluctuations in nuclear fuel activity due to variations from year to year in the timing and pricing of fuel
Entergy Arkansas, LLC and Subsidiaries

reload requirements, materials and services deliveries, and the timing of cash payments during the nuclear fuel cycle; and
- money pool activity.
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 $21.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to increasing by $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The money pool is an intercompany cash management program that makes possible intercompany borrowing and lending arrangements, and the money pool and other borrowing arrangements are designed to reduce the Registrant Subsidiaries’ dependence on external short-term borrowings.
Financing Activities
Entergy Arkansas’s financing activities provided $457.8 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to using $45.8 million of cash for three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to the following activity:
-
the issuances of $500 million of 5.75% Series mortgage bonds and $500 million of 4.95% Series mortgage bonds, each in January 2026;
-
net long-term borrowings of $45.4 million in 2026 compared to net repayments of $17.1 million in 2025 on the nuclear fuel company variable interest entity’s credit facility;
-
an increase of $40.5 million in net customer advances for construction related to transmission, distribution, and generator interconnection agreements;
-
money pool activity; and
-
the repayment, prior to maturity, of $600 million of 3.5% Series mortgage bonds in February 2026.
Decreases in Entergy Arkansas’s payable to the money pool are a use of cash flow, and Entergy Arkansas’s payable to the money pool decreased $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
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. The increase in the debt to capital ratio for Entergy Arkansas is primarily due to the net issuance of long-term debt in 2026.
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | ||||||||||
| Debt to capital | 55.2 | % | 53.7 | % | |||||||
| Effect of subtracting cash | (2.6 | %) | (1.3 | %) | |||||||
| Net debt to net capital (non-GAAP) | 52.6 | % | 52.4 | % |
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. 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.

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 2028. 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 March 31, 2026, 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 March 31, 2026, $89.6 million in letters of credit were outstanding under 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 March 31, 2026, there were $59.1 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.
Jefferson Power Station
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in August 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed an application with the APSC 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 to be located in Jefferson County, Arkansas. The estimated cost of the project is $1,602 million. In January 2026 the APSC issued its order finding that Entergy Arkansas had demonstrated a need for the resource but had not met its burden with respect to supporting the prudence of the costs to construct the resource. The APSC acknowledged that the costs would be greater if Entergy Arkansas waited to pursue the resource. The APSC authorized Entergy Arkansas to proceed with Jefferson Power Station as a strategic investment with estimated costs set at a benchmark, which the APSC erroneously believed reflected the current cost estimate but was, in fact, $90 million below the cost presented. In its January 2026 order, the APSC also approved Entergy Arkansas’s recovery of the costs of constructing Jefferson Power Station through the Generating Arkansas Jobs Act rider. Additionally, in its January 2026 order, the APSC found that Entergy Arkansas should conduct all-source competitive solicitations for future generation additions, with limited exceptions where Entergy Arkansas believes that a specific solicitation should be restricted to a certain resource and provides a detailed explanation to the APSC supporting this belief, which the APSC later confirmed in its March 2026 order that this is a narrow exception. In February 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed for rehearing seeking to correct the benchmark. In March 2026 the APSC issued an order denying Entergy Arkansas’s petition and maintained the benchmark, although costs over the benchmark were not found to be disallowed. Also in its March 2026 order, the APSC ordered Entergy Arkansas to submit a draft of an all-source request for proposals within thirty days of the order, which Entergy Arkansas filed in April 2026. Also in March 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed with the APSC its proposal for an independent monitor to oversee the reasonableness

Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis
of its construction costs, as required by the APSC order. In April 2026 the APSC issued an order consolidating Entergy Arkansas’s cost independent monitor proposals for three pending resources, including Jefferson Power Station, into a single docket and directing parties with full intervention status to respond to the proposals and recommend independent monitor candidates.
Special Rate Contract and Arkansas Cypress Solar
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in September 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed an application with the APSC seeking a certificate of environmental compatibility and public need for the construction and operation of the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility, a planned 600 MW solar photovoltaic array with a 350 MW battery energy storage system and associated transmission facilities interconnecting at Entergy Arkansas’s White Bluff substation. The estimated cost of the project is $1,602 million. In March 2026 the APSC approved the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility and Entergy Arkansas’s recovery of the costs of the facility through the Generating Arkansas Jobs Act rider. The APSC also ordered implementation of an independent monitor to oversee costs. In April 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed with the APSC its proposal for an independent monitor to oversee the reasonableness of costs. In April 2026 the APSC issued an order consolidating Entergy Arkansas’s cost independent monitor proposals for three pending resources, including the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility, into a single docket and directing parties with full intervention status to respond to the proposals and recommend independent monitor candidates. The facility is expected to be in service by the end of 2028.
State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery
See “MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery” in the Form 10-K for a discussion of state and local rate regulation and fuel-cost recovery. The following are updates to that discussion.
Retail Rates
2026 Base Rate Case
In February 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed with the APSC a general change in rates, charges, and tariffs. The filing requested a base rate increase to recover a base rate revenue deficiency of $44.6 million and notified the APSC of Entergy Arkansas’s intent to implement a forward test year formula rate plan pursuant to Arkansas legislation passed in 2015. The primary drivers of the revenue deficiency were increased depreciation expense and the impact of net capital additions. Additionally, the filing requested a 9.90% return on common equity and increased depreciation rates as the result of a depreciation study. In March 2026 the APSC issued an order suspending the proposed rates and tariffs filed by Entergy Arkansas and will establish a procedural schedule by subsequent order.
Generating Arkansas Jobs Act Rider
In March 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed its first annual update to the strategic investment recovery rider, requesting recovery of $110.4 million of financing costs during construction of generation and transmission strategic investments related to Ironwood Power Station, Jefferson Power Station, and the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility. The revised rates are requested to be effective for bills rendered on the first billing cycle of June 2026. In April 2026 the APSC general staff filed testimony arguing that the APSC had not issued an order designating Ironwood Power Station as a strategic investment and that related costs should therefore be removed from the annual update. Also in April 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed testimony asserting that the APSC general staff’s position is contrary to the plain language of the statute, which includes an exception for facilities like Ironwood Power Station that were certified by the APSC within a certain timeframe. A hearing was held in April 2026.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis
Production Tax Credit Tariff
As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K, in January 2026 the APSC opened a docket to investigate the sale of Entergy Arkansas’s nuclear production tax credits and the appropriate ratemaking treatment of production tax credits for all of Entergy Arkansas’s eligible resources, including how the proceeds of any sales should flow through to customers. As directed by the APSC, in February 2026, Entergy Arkansas submitted a compliance filing to the APSC verifying the status of the solar production tax credits. The filing also verified that the net proceeds from the sale of the nuclear production tax credits were recorded in FERC accounts that are accruing a return for customers’ benefit at a rate that is above the customer deposit rate. Subsequently, in March 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed testimony setting forth its proposal for the solar production tax credits. Specifically, Entergy Arkansas requested the same ratemaking treatment for all of the solar facilities that the APSC already approved for Walnut Bend (i.e., the total net monetized proceeds from production tax credits expected to be generated over the first ten years of a solar facility’s operation are estimated and then amortized over the expected useful life of the asset, which is typically 30 years). Additionally, consistent with prior orders for these resources, the deferred tax asset balances associated with both the production tax credits and the tax gross-up of the regulatory liability will be recognized as a reduction to the overall accumulated deferred income tax liability balance in Entergy Arkansas’s calculation of its weighted average cost of capital providing a return on the unamortized balance for the benefit of customers. Further, Entergy Arkansas proposes to flow the benefits of the solar production tax credits to customers through Entergy Arkansas’s formula rate plan, effective with the formula rate plan rates that will go into effect January 1, 2027. Entergy Arkansas’s proposal would result in the benefits of the production tax credits being passed through to customers, if approved, as reductions in revenue requirement evenly over the life of the assets, rather than only during the 10-year period in which the production tax credits are generated. In April 2026 the APSC general staff filed testimony proposing an amortization period of no more than 15 years for the monetized proceeds for the tax credits associated with the West Memphis Solar and Driver Solar facilities. An evidentiary hearing is scheduled for July 2026.
Energy Cost Recovery Rider
In March 2026, 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 $0.01333 per kWh to $0.01508 per kWh. The primary reason for the rate increase was an under-recovered balance as a result of higher natural gas prices in 2025. Based on circumstances related to ANO 2’s refueling outage, Entergy Arkansas made an adjustment to projected energy costs to phase-in the rate increase gradually. The redetermined rate of $0.01508 per kWh became effective with the first billing cycle in April 2026 through the normal operation of the tariff.

ENTERGY LOUISIANA, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Winter Storm Fern
See the “Winter Storm Fern” section of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis for a discussion of Winter Storm Fern. Entergy Louisiana’s current estimate for the cost of mobilizing crews and restoring power is approximately $250 million, including approximately $215 million in capital costs and approximately $35 million in non-capital costs. Natural gas purchases for Entergy Louisiana were $256 million in January 2026 compared to $115 million in January 2025. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for discussion of fuel cost recovery at Entergy Louisiana.
Results of Operations
Net Income
Net income increased $21.7 million primarily due to a higher return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments, higher retail electric price, higher volume/weather, and higher other income. The increase was partially offset by higher interest expense, higher depreciation and amortization expenses, and higher taxes other than income taxes.
Operating Revenues
Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the first quarter 2026 to the first quarter 2025:
| Amount | |||||
| (In Millions) | |||||
| 2025 operating revenues | $1,301.5 | ||||
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | 114.4 | ||||
| Return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments | 17.6 | ||||
| Retail electric price | 10.7 | ||||
| Volume/weather | 9.5 | ||||
| Effect of sale of natural gas distribution business | (29.6) | ||||
| 2026 operating revenues | $1,424.1 |
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.
The return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments variance represents the revenue related to the amortization of certain customer advances designed to provide a return on investment in construction work in progress for certain utility plant investment, which is recognized as the related costs are incurred.
Entergy Louisiana, LLC and Subsidiaries
Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis
The retail electric price variance is primarily due to increases in the resilience plan cost recovery rider effective March 2025 and March 2026. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein for discussion of the resilience plan cost recovery rider filings.
The volume/weather variance is primarily due to an increase in industrial 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 petroleum refining, solar technology, and agricultural chemicals industries, partially offset by a decrease in demand from large industrial customers in the chlor-alkali and industrial gases industries. The increase in industrial usage is also primarily due to an increase in demand from co-generation customers.
The effect of sale of natural gas distribution business variance represents the decrease in operating revenues resulting from the absence of natural gas revenues following the sale of the natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy Louisiana natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.
Total electric energy sales for Entergy Louisiana for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are as follows:

See Note 12 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of Entergy Louisiana’s operating revenues.
Other Income Statement Variances
Other operation and maintenance expenses increased slightly primarily due to:
-
an increase of $5.2 million in compensation and benefits costs primarily due to a revision to estimated incentive-based compensation expense in first quarter 2025;
-
an increase of $3.1 million in power delivery expenses primarily due to a higher scope of work performed in 2026 as compared to 2025 and increased contract labor costs; and
-
several individually insignificant items.
The increase was partially offset by:
-
a decrease of $6.1 million in loss provisions;
-
a decrease of $4.4 million in non-nuclear generation expenses primarily due to a lower scope of work performed during plant outages in 2026 as compared to 2025; and
-
a decrease of $4.0 million in insurance expenses primarily due to higher nuclear insurance refunds.
Entergy Louisiana, LLC and Subsidiaries
Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis
Taxes other than income taxes increased primarily due to increases in ad valorem taxes resulting from higher assessments.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased primarily due to additions to plant in service, an increase in FERC jurisdictional depreciation rates effective January 2026, and an increase in nuclear depreciation rates effective September 2025 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.
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:
-
changes in decommissioning trust fund activity, including portfolio rebalancing of the River Bend decommissioning trust fund in first quarter 2026;
-
an increase of $6.5 million in the amortization of tax gross-up on customer advances, including customer advances for construction; and
-
an increase in the allowance for equity funds used during construction due to higher construction work in progress in 2026.
The increase was offset by a decrease of $4.5 million in affiliated dividend income from affiliated preferred membership interests related to storm cost securitizations. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the storm cost securitizations.
Interest expense increased primarily due to:
-
an increase of $9.8 million in carrying costs on customer advances, including customer advances for construction;
-
the issuances of $750 million of 5.65% Series mortgage bonds and $750 million of 4.90% Series mortgage bonds, each in February 2026; and
-
$4.1 million in carrying costs in first quarter 2026 on retained net proceeds from the monetization of nuclear production tax credits.
The increase was partially offset by the repayment of $250 million of 4.44% Series mortgage bonds in January 2026.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 15.5% for the first quarter 2026. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2026 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the book and tax differences related to the non-taxable income distributions earned on preferred membership interests, the amortization of excess accumulated deferred income taxes, book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction, and certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items, partially offset by the accrual for state income taxes.
The effective income tax rate was 17.5% for the first quarter 2025. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2025 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the book and tax differences related to the non-taxable income distributions earned on preferred membership interests, book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction, and certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items, partially offset by the accrual for state income taxes.

| Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | $1,239,010 | $392,245 |
Operating Activities
Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $33.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:
-
an increase of $87.1 million in receipts of advance payments related to customer agreements, including $80.6 million in customer advances and $6.5 million in tax gross-up on customer advances for construction;
-
higher collections from customers; and
-
a decrease of $17.9 million in spending on nuclear refueling outage costs in 2026 as compared to 2025.
The increase was partially offset by higher fuel and purchased power payments and the timing of payments to vendors. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery.
Investing Activities
Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $252.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:
- an increase of $260.5 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending on the Richland Parish Power Station Units 1 and 2 project, the Waterford 5 Power Station project, and the Waterford 6 Power Station project;
Entergy Louisiana, LLC and Subsidiaries
Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis
-
an increase of $100.3 million in transmission construction expenditures primarily due to higher capital expenditures as a result of increased investment in the resilience of the transmission system and higher spending on the Amite South transmission projects and on various other transmission projects in 2026;
-
an increase of $64.6 million in capital expenditures related to storm restoration primarily due to Winter Storm Fern. See “Winter Storm Fern” above for discussion of storm restoration efforts in 2026; and
-
the receipt of $33.5 million from the storm reserve escrow account in first quarter 2025. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of the storm reserve funds.
The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $100.5 million in nuclear construction expenditures primarily due to decreased spending on various nuclear projects in 2026 and a decrease in cash used of $118.2 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.
Financing Activities
Net cash flow provided by financing activities increased $616 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:
-
the issuances of $750 million of 5.65% Series mortgage bonds and $750 million of 4.90% Series mortgage bonds, each in February 2026;
-
the repayment, prior to maturity, of $190 million of 3.78% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025;
-
the repayment, prior to maturity, of $110 million of 3.78% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025; and
-
$36.3 million in common equity distributions paid in 2025 in order to maintain Entergy Louisiana’s capital structure. No common equity distributions were paid in 2026.
The increase was partially offset by:
-
the issuance of $750 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in January 2025;
-
the repayment of $250 million of 4.44% Series mortgage bonds in January 2026;
-
net repayments of $21.3 million in 2026 compared to net long-term borrowings of $100 million in 2025 on the nuclear fuel company variable interest entities’ credit facilities; and
-
a decrease of $93.6 million in net customer advances 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 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 2026.
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | ||||||||||
| Debt to capital | 48.7 | % | 46.6 | % | |||||||
| Effect of subtracting cash | (2.8 | %) | (2.0 | %) | |||||||
| Net debt to net capital (non-GAAP) | 45.9 | % | 44.6 | % |
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 Louisiana uses the debt to capital ratio in

analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy Louisiana’s financial condition. The net debt to net capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure. Entergy Louisiana also uses the net debt to net capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy Louisiana’s financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy Louisiana’s outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.
Uses and Sources of Capital
See “MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the Form 10-K for a discussion of Entergy Louisiana’s uses and sources of capital. The following are updates to the information provided in the Form 10-K.
Following are the current annual amounts of Entergy Louisiana’s planned construction and other capital investments.

The updated capital plan for 2026-2029 reflects incremental capital investments for potential generation projects, primarily related to resources identified in Entergy Louisiana’s application filed with the LPSC in March 2026 as discussed below in “Additional Generation and Transmission Resources”. In addition to routine capital spending to maintain operations, the capital plan for Entergy Louisiana includes investments in generation projects to modernize, decarbonize, expand, and diversify Entergy Louisiana’s portfolio, as well as to support customer growth, including Segno Solar, Votaw Solar, Bogalusa West Solar, Cypress Harvest Solar, Franklin Farms Power Station Units 1 and 2, Waterford 5 Power Station, Cottonwood Power Station, Westlake Power Station, Richland Parish Units 1-4, Pointe Coupee Units 1-3, and other new generation resources; investments in River Bend and Waterford 3; distribution and Utility support spending to improve reliability, resilience, and customer experience; transmission spending to improve reliability and resilience while also supporting customer growth and renewables expansion; and other investments. The planned construction and capital investments amounts above exclude investments expected to be funded with customer advances for construction.

As of March 31, 2026, $118 million in letters of credit were outstanding under 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 March 31, 2026, $39.5 million in loans were outstanding under the credit facility for the Entergy Louisiana River Bend nuclear fuel company variable interest entity and $33.2 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.
Renewables
Cypress Harvest Solar
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in February 2026, Entergy Louisiana filed an application seeking LPSC approval and certification for the Cypress Harvest Solar facility, a 200 MW solar facility to be located in Iberville Parish, Louisiana. In March 2026 the LPSC staff filed an affidavit attesting that the Cypress Harvest Solar Facility meets the applicable parameters for Entergy Louisiana’s expedited certification process and recommending that the LPSC grant certification. At its April 2026 meeting, the LPSC voted to grant the requested approval and certification. The facility is expected to be in service by 2028.
Other Generation and Transmission
Additional Generation and Transmission Resources
See the Form 10-K for discussion of Entergy Louisiana’s October 2024 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 was previously executed.
In March 2026, Entergy Louisiana entered into an electric service agreement with Evest LLC (Evest), a subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc., in connection with establishing service to a second new data center to be developed by Evest in north Louisiana. The obligations pursuant to the agreement will commence following construction of certain transmission facilities needed to serve Evest, and the effectiveness of the agreement is conditioned upon receipt of required governmental approvals, including approval from the LPSC. Also in March 2026, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC for certification to construct seven new combined cycle combustion turbine generation resources totaling 5,278 MW at a total cost of approximately $12.9 billion, each of which will be enabled for future carbon capture and storage, and three battery energy storage systems, including two that will be co-located with solar resources at the Cypress Harvest Solar Facility in Iberville Parish and the Bogalusa West Solar Facility in Washington Parish. The application also seeks approval to construct a new 500 kV transmission line, from West Fork Creek to St. Landry, estimated to cost $1.4 billion, and other related transmission facilities. Four of the new combined cycle combustion turbine generation resources are to be located near the customer site in north Louisiana (Richland Parish Units 1-4), while the remaining three units will be located near the existing Big Cajun site in Pointe Coupee Parish (Pointe Coupee Units 1-3). The seven new combined cycle combustion turbine generation resources have various estimated in-service dates in 2030 and 2031. The application also requests certain approvals related to a corporate sustainability agreement with the new customer. The corporate sustainability agreement contemplates the new customer contributing to the costs of the future addition of 2,500 MW of new renewable and energy storage resources, agreements involving nuclear-related efforts and contributions to bill assistance and other programs for low-income residents. Entergy Louisiana anticipates recovering 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 application is pending before the LPSC. At its April 2026
Entergy Louisiana, LLC and Subsidiaries
Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis
meeting, the LPSC voted to direct the administrative hearings division to adopt a procedural schedule that would allow for LPSC consideration of the matter at its December 2026 meeting, and also to have the administrative hearings division serve as a hearing examiner and compile a record for the LPSC to consider without the issuance of a formal recommendation from the ALJ.
The electric service agreement and related contracts contain provisions that protect Entergy Louisiana’s current customers in a manner consistent with the LPSC’s Lightning Initiative and Entergy Louisiana’s Fair Share Plus guidelines, which the LPSC and Entergy Louisiana, respectively, developed in response to increased investment in large data centers in Louisiana. The protections include terms requiring the customer to pay Entergy Louisiana’s incremental costs to serve the customer, including through contributions in aid of construction, other advanced payments and minimum monthly bills. The agreements also include specified financial obligations in the event that Evest terminates the contracts early, restructures the project, or in the event of default. These specified financial obligations would be based on Entergy Louisiana’s unrecovered incremental costs to serve Evest at the time of such an event. Evest’s obligations under the electric service agreement and related contracts are secured by various forms of collateral, including a guaranty from Meta Platforms, Inc.
Finally, the electric service agreement also includes provisions relating to Entergy Louisiana’s performance obligations, including the timely construction of the facilities supporting service to Evest, audit rights for the construction costs supported by Evest, and service standards during the term of the electric service agreement. Entergy Louisiana’s failure to meet one or more of these performance obligations could result in specified financial and/or non-financial penalties. Such penalties would vary based on the nature and severity of the failure, including the potential termination of the electric service agreement.
Babel - Webre 500 kV Transmission Project
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in December 2025, 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 147-mile Babel to Webre 500 kV transmission line, the reconstruction of the Webre 500 kV switching station in Louisiana, and coordination with Entergy Texas on the construction of an approximately 4-mile 500 kV transmission line in Texas. The project was approved by MISO in the 2025 MISO Transmission Expansion Plan and has an estimated cost of $1,238 million and an estimated in-service date of August 2029. A procedural schedule has been set with a hearing scheduled for September 2026. Discovery is ongoing.
Waterford 6 Power Station and Westlake Power Station
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in February 2026, Entergy Louisiana filed an application seeking LPSC approval and certification to construct two 754 MW combined cycle combustion turbine generators, the Waterford 6 Power Station and the Westlake Power Station, to be located at Entergy Louisiana’s existing Waterford site near Killona, Louisiana and existing Roy S. Nelson site in Westlake, Louisiana, respectively. In its application, Entergy Louisiana noted the estimated costs are approximately $2,027 million for the Waterford 6 Power Station and $2,091 million for the Westlake Power Station. As described in the application, Entergy Louisiana is considering a third-party financing approach for the Waterford 6 Power Station. Entergy Louisiana asked that the LPSC consider the requests in the application at or before its December 2026 meeting. A procedural schedule has been set with hearings scheduled in October and November 2026. The estimated in-service dates for the Waterford 6 Power Station and Westlake Power Station are July 2030 and October 2030, respectively.

State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery
See “MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel Cost Recovery” in the Form 10-K for a discussion of state and local rate regulation and fuel-cost recovery. The following are updates to that discussion.
Retail Rates
Resilience Plan Cost Recovery Rider
In December 2022, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC seeking a public interest finding regarding Phase I of Entergy Louisiana’s Future Ready resilience plan and approval of a rider mechanism to recover the program’s costs. Phase I in the December 2022 application reflected the first five years of a ten-year resilience plan and included investment of approximately $5 billion, including hardening investment, transmission dead-end structures, enhanced vegetation management, and telecommunications improvement. In April 2024 the LPSC approved a framework which includes an initial five-year resilience plan providing for an investment of approximately $1.9 billion with cost recovery via a forward-looking rider with semi-annual true-ups. The plan is subject to specified reporting requirements and includes a performance review of the hardened assets. The LPSC order approving the framework does not include any restrictions on Entergy Louisiana’s ability to file applications for approval of additional investments in resilience.
In January 2025, Entergy Louisiana’s semi-annual filing sought to collect from Entergy Louisiana’s retail customers approximately $40.4 million, or $38.9 million in incremental annual revenues from Entergy Louisiana’s first semi-annual filing in July 2024, for projects expected to be placed in service during the rate-effective period of March 2025 through August 2025. In February 2025 the LPSC staff reviewed the filed rider rates and identified no material issues.
In July 2025, Entergy Louisiana’s semi-annual filing sought to collect from Entergy Louisiana’s retail customers approximately $50.2 million, or $9.8 million in incremental annual revenues, for projects expected to be placed in service during the rate-effective period of September 2025 through February 2026. Additionally, Entergy Louisiana’s true-up filing included an under-recovery totaling $5.6 million to be implemented in the January 2026 semi-annual filing. In August 2025 the LPSC staff reviewed the filed rider rates and identified no material issues.
In January 2026, Entergy Louisiana’s semi-annual filing sought to collect from Entergy Louisiana’s retail customers approximately $101.8 million, or $51.6 million in incremental annual revenues, for projects expected to be placed in service during the rate-effective period of March 2026 through August 2026. Additionally, Entergy Louisiana’s true-up filing included an over-recovery totaling $16.6 million to be implemented in the July 2026 semi-annual filing. In February 2026 the LPSC staff reviewed the filed rider rates and identified no material issues.
Fuel and purchased power cost recovery
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in June 2025 the LPSC staff provided notice of an audit of Entergy Louisiana’s purchased gas adjustment clause filings (for Entergy Louisiana’s gas operations). The audit includes a review of the reasonableness of charges flowed through Entergy Louisiana’s purchased gas adjustment clause for the period from January 2023 through June 2025. The LPSC staff issued its audit report in March 2026, and although certain internal record keeping recommendations were made, the LPSC staff did not recommend any disallowances. The next step is for the LPSC to issue its final report, but there is no deadline or timing requirement associated with the issuance of the final report.
In February 2026, Entergy Louisiana, in its monthly filing to update its fuel adjustment clause, requested to defer approximately $141.9 million of fuel costs incurred in January 2026 that were primarily attributable to the effects of Winter Storm Fern, consistent with the LPSC’s general order approved at its February 2026 meeting

permitting temporary modifications to the LPSC’s fuel adjustment clause general order. The filing proposes to defer the recovery of these fuel costs over a four-month period from March 2026 through June 2026 to mitigate the customer bill impacts of these fuel costs.
In April 2026 the LPSC staff provided notice of an audit of Entergy Louisiana’s fuel adjustment clause filings. The audit includes a review of the reasonableness of charges flowed through Entergy Louisiana’s fuel adjustment clause for the period from 2023 through 2025.

ENTERGY MISSISSIPPI, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Winter Storm Fern
See the “Winter Storm Fern” section of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis for a discussion of Winter Storm Fern. Entergy Mississippi’s current estimate for the cost of mobilizing crews and restoring power is approximately $175 million, including approximately $140 million in capital costs and approximately $35 million in non-capital costs. Natural gas purchases for Entergy Mississippi were $85 million in January 2026 compared to $28 million in January 2025.
The “Mississippi 2026 Severe Winter Storm Electric Utility Customer Relief and Electric Utility System Restoration Act” passed in Mississippi legislation in April 2026. This legislation provides that the MPSC may issue an electric utility financing order authorizing the issuance of system restoration bonds, the proceeds of which shall be used to securitize the system restoration costs and storm damage reserve levels of those utilities affected by Winter Storm Fern. The legislation requires that an electric utility affected by the storm must first petition the MPSC for such a financing order that complies with the requirements outlined in the legislation. The legislation states that any system restoration bonds issued under a financing order will not be considered debt of the electric utility. These bonds will only be backed by the system restoration property specified in the financing order. Entergy Mississippi plans to file for storm cost recovery under this legislation in third quarter 2026.
Results of Operations
Net Income
Net income increased $37.5 million primarily due to a regulatory charge, recorded in the first quarter 2025, to reflect an adjustment to the grid modernization over/under recovery deferral balance, higher retail electric price, and a higher return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments. The increase was partially offset by higher interest expense.
Operating Revenues
Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the first quarter 2026 to the first quarter 2025:
| Amount | |||||
| (In Millions) | |||||
| 2025 operating revenues | $423.7 | ||||
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | 75.2 | ||||
| Retail electric price | 13.9 | ||||
| Return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments | 12.5 | ||||
| Volume/weather | 0.1 | ||||
| 2026 operating revenues | $525.4 |
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 resulting from an increase in interim facilities rate adjustment revenues effective January 2026. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the interim facilities rate adjustment filing.
The return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments variance represents the revenue related to the amortization of certain customer advances designed to provide a return on investment in construction work in progress for certain utility plant investment, which is recognized as the related costs are incurred.
The volume/weather variance is insignificant and primarily due to an increase in industrial usage, substantially 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 data center industry.
Total electric energy sales for Entergy Mississippi for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are as follows:

See Note 12 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of Entergy Mississippi’s operating revenues.
Other Income Statement Variances
Other operation and maintenance expenses increased primarily due to an increase of $2.4 million in power delivery expenses primarily due to higher vegetation maintenance costs and increased contract labor costs and several individually insignificant items.
Other regulatory charges (credits) – net includes a regulatory charge of $21 million, recorded in first quarter 2025, to reflect an adjustment to the grid modernization over/under recovery deferral balance.
Other income increased primarily due to an increase of $3.6 million in interest earned on money pool investments.
Interest expense increased primarily due to the issuances of $600 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rates were 24.6% for the first quarter 2026 and 24.1% for the first quarter 2025. The differences in the effective income tax rates for the first quarter 2026 and the first quarter 2025 versus the

Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis
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.

| Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | $1,083,030 | $598,157 |
Operating Activities
Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $218.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to an increase of $158.5 million in receipts of advance payments related to customer agreements, including $133.8 million in customer advances and $24.7 million in tax gross-up on customer advances for construction, and higher collections from customers. The increase was partially offset by higher fuel and purchased power payments and the timing of payments to vendors. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery.
Investing Activities
Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $160.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:
-
an increase of $117.0 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending on the Traceview Advanced Power Station project;
-
an increase of $59.6 million in capital expenditures related to storm restoration primarily due to Winter Storm Fern. See “Winter Storm Fern” above for discussion of storm restoration efforts in 2026; and
-
an increase of $26.0 million in transmission construction expenditures primarily due to higher capital expenditures as a result of increased development in Entergy Mississippi’s service area in 2026.
The increase was partially offset by money pool activity.
Increases in Entergy Mississippi’s receivable from the money pool are a use of cash flow, and Entergy Mississippi’s receivable from the money pool increased $55.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to increasing by $94.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The money pool is an

intercompany cash management program that makes possible intercompany borrowing and lending arrangements, and the money pool and other borrowing arrangements are designed to reduce the Registrant Subsidiaries’ dependence on external short-term borrowings.
Financing Activities
Net cash flow provided by financing activities increased $241.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:
-
the issuance of $650 million of 5.05% Series mortgage bonds in March 2026;
-
an increase of $135.5 million in capital contributions received from Entergy Corporation in first quarter 2026 as compared to first quarter 2025 in order to maintain Entergy Mississippi’s capital structure; and
-
an increase of $54.9 million in net customer advances for construction related to transmission, distribution, and generator interconnection agreements.
The increase was partially offset by the issuance of $600 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025. 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 the net issuance of long-term debt in 2026, partially offset by a capital contribution of $198 million received from Entergy Corporation in 2026.
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | ||||||||||
| Debt to capital | 53.1 | % | 50.5 | % | |||||||
| Effect of subtracting cash | (8.7 | %) | (2.9 | %) | |||||||
| Net debt to net capital (non-GAAP) | 44.4 | % | 47.6 | % |
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 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.

In February 2026, Entergy Mississippi submitted its formula rate plan 2026 test year filing and 2025 look-back filing showing Entergy Mississippi’s earned return on rate base for the historical 2025 calendar year to be within the formula rate plan bandwidth and projected earned return for the 2026 calendar year to also be within the formula rate plan bandwidth. The 2026 test year filing resulted in an earned return on rate base of 7.64% and reflected no change in formula rate plan revenues. The 2025 look-back filing compared actual 2025 results to the

approved benchmark return on rate base and reflected no change in formula rate plan revenues, although Entergy Mississippi proposes to adjust interim rates by $293 thousand to reflect one outside-the-bandwidth change, a true-up of demand side management costs. A final order is expected in second quarter 2026.

ENTERGY NEW ORLEANS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
Net Income
Net income decreased $5.7 million primarily due to the net effect of decreased natural gas revenues and expenses resulting from the sale of Entergy New Orleans’s natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025, lower volume/weather, and lower retail electric price, partially offset by lower interest expense. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.
Operating Revenues
Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the first quarter 2026 to the first quarter 2025:
| Amount | |||||
| (In Millions) | |||||
| 2025 operating revenues | $181.1 | ||||
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | 39.0 | ||||
| Effect of sale of natural gas distribution business | (42.1) | ||||
| Volume/weather | (3.9) | ||||
| Retail electric price | (2.4) | ||||
| 2026 operating revenues | $171.7 |
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 effect of sale of natural gas distribution business variance represents the decrease in operating revenues resulting from the absence of natural gas revenues following the sale of the natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.
The volume/weather variance is primarily due to a decrease in weather-adjusted residential usage, a decrease in commercial usage, and the effect of less favorable weather on residential sales.
The retail electric price variance is primarily due to a decrease in formula rate plan rates effective September 2025 in accordance with the terms of the 2025 formula rate plan filing. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the formula rate plan filing.

| Total | 1,659 | 1,316 | 26 |
See Note 12 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of Entergy New Orleans’s operating revenues.
Other Income Statement Variances
Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease of $2.8 million in gas operations expenses resulting from the absence of expenses following the sale of the natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025 and a decrease of $1.1 million in non-nuclear generation expenses primarily due to a lower scope of work performed, including during plant outages, in 2026 as compared to 2025. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.
Taxes other than income taxes decreased primarily due to decreases in local franchise fees as a result of lower retail revenues in 2026 as compared to 2025, including the absence of natural gas revenues in 2026 following the sale of Entergy New Orleans’s natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased primarily due to the absence of depreciation and amortization expenses associated with natural gas plant in service following the sale of the natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.
Interest expense decreased primarily due to a decrease of $3.1 million in carrying costs on regulatory liability balances.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was (1.6%) for the first quarter 2026. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2026 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items and the amortization of excess accumulated deferred income taxes.
The effective income tax rate was 23.6% for the first quarter 2025. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2025 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the accrual for state income taxes, partially offset by certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items.

| Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | $68,970 | $13,926 |
Operating Activities
Entergy New Orleans’s operating activities used $3.7 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to providing $2.6 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to the timing of payments to vendors, lower collections from customers, and lower 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.
Investing Activities
Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to the receipt of $10.3 million from the storm reserve escrow account in 2025 and cash collateral of $5.0 million posted in 2026 to support Entergy New Orleans’s obligations to MISO.
Financing Activities
Entergy New Orleans’s financing activities used $0.4 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to providing $1.4 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to the repayment, at maturity, of $78 million of 3.00% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025 and proceeds received in March 2025 from an $80 million unsecured term loan. 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 New Orleans’s debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table.
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | ||||||||||
| Debt to capital | 51.8 | % | 52.1 | % | |||||||
| Effect of subtracting cash | (2.8 | %) | (4.6 | %) | |||||||
| Net debt to net capital (non-GAAP) | 49.0 | % | 47.5 | % |
Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of short-term borrowings, finance lease obligations, long-term debt, including the currently maturing portion, and the long-term payable due to an associated company. Capital consists of debt and equity. Net capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. Entergy New Orleans uses the debt to capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy New Orleans’s financial condition. The net debt to net capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure. Entergy New Orleans also uses the net debt to net capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy New Orleans’s financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy New Orleans’s outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.
Uses and Sources of Capital
See “MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the Form 10-K for a discussion of Entergy New Orleans’s uses and sources of capital. The following are updates to the information provided in the Form 10-K.

See Note 4 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a description of the money pool.
Entergy New Orleans has a credit facility in the amount of $25 million scheduled to expire in June 2027.

Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis
State and Local Rate Regulation
See “MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – State and Local Rate Regulation” in the Form 10-K for a discussion of state and local rate regulation. The following are updates to that discussion.
Retail Rates
2026 Formula Rate Plan Filing
In April 2026, Entergy New Orleans submitted to the City Council its formula rate plan 2025 test year filing. The 2025 evaluation report produced an earned return on equity of 7.55% compared to the authorized return on equity of 9.35%. Without adjustments, this would result in an increase in rates of $16.6 million. The increase in rates is driven, in part, by an increase in plant in service, as well as the cost of known and measurable capital additions. The increase is also driven by a decrease in total revenues due to a decline in kWh sales. The filing is subject to a 75-day review and discovery period followed by a 25-day period to resolve any disputes among the parties. For any disputed items, the City Council would set a procedural schedule to resolve such disputes. Resulting rates will be effective with the first billing cycle of September 2026 pursuant to the formula rate plan tariff.
Distributed Energy Resource Program
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in October 2024 the City Council opened a docket to evaluate potential opportunities to increase the availability of distributed energy resources, battery storage, and related facilities in New Orleans. In December 2025 the City Council issued a resolution establishing a distributed energy resources program to be implemented and operated under the existing Energy Smart program, with $28 million in customer incentives available through credits funded by the settlement between System Energy and the City Council. In March 2026, Entergy New Orleans submitted to the City Council a proposed battery storage implementation plan for new residential and commercial battery systems that would phase such implementation over a three-year period beginning in 2026, with those systems participating in Energy Smart for seven additional years, as required by the City Council. Program costs will be offset by credits from the System Energy settlement, with no incremental impact on customer rates. An intervenor in the proceeding has challenged the plan submitted by Entergy New Orleans and seeks additional incentives for customers, including accelerated use of the credits. See “Complaints Against System Energy - System Energy Settlement with the City Council” in Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the System Energy settlement with the City Council.

ENTERGY TEXAS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
Net Income
Net income increased $6.6 million primarily due to higher retail electric price partially offset by higher other operation and maintenance expenses.
Operating Revenues
Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the first quarter 2026 to the first quarter 2025:
| Amount | |||||
| (In Millions) | |||||
| 2025 operating revenues | $441.9 | ||||
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | 48.7 | ||||
| Retail electric price | 11.9 | ||||
| Volume/weather | 1.0 | ||||
| 2026 operating revenues | $503.5 |
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 increases in the distribution cost recovery factor rider effective June 2025 and December 2025. 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 usage substantially 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 transportation and agricultural and other chemicals industries, and an increase in demand from co-generation customers.
Entergy Texas, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis
Total electric energy sales for Entergy Texas for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are as follows:

| Total | 5,309 | 4,944 | 7 |
See Note 12 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of Entergy Texas’s operating revenues.
Other Income Statement Variances
Other operation and maintenance expenses increased primarily due to an increase of $0.7 million in legal expenses associated with various regulatory proceedings and several individually insignificant items.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rates were 16.3% for the first quarter 2026 and 15.6% for the first quarter 2025. The differences in the effective income tax rates for the first quarter 2026 and the first quarter 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 and certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items.
Income Tax Legislation and Regulation

Entergy Texas, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis
Operating Activities
Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to higher collections from customers and the timing of recovery of fuel and purchased power costs. The increase was partially offset by higher fuel and purchased power payments and the timing of payments to vendors. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery.
Investing Activities
Net cash flow used in investing activities decreased $172.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:
-
a decrease of $84.4 million in transmission construction expenditures primarily due to decreased spending on various transmission projects in 2026;
-
a decrease of $77.3 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to lower spending on the Orange County Advanced Power Station project in 2026 and lower spending on the Legend Power Station project as a result of the sale of assets related to the in-process project in December 2025. See Note 8 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the Entergy Texas build-to-suit lease arrangement for the Legend Power Station; and
-
money pool activity.
Increases in Entergy Texas’s receivable from the money pool are a use of cash flow, and Entergy Texas’s receivable from the money pool increased $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to increasing by $36.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The money pool is an intercompany cash management program that makes possible intercompany borrowing and lending arrangements, and the money pool and other borrowing arrangements are designed to reduce the Registrant Subsidiaries’ dependence on external short-term borrowings.
Financing Activities
Net cash flow provided by financing activities decreased $135.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to the issuance of $500 million of 5.25% Series mortgage bonds in February 2025, partially offset by a capital contribution of $365 million received from Entergy Corporation in 2026 in order to maintain Entergy Texas’s capital structure and in anticipation of various capital expenditures. 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.
Entergy Texas, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis
Capital Structure
Entergy Texas’s debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table. The decrease in the debt to capital ratio for Entergy Texas is primarily due to a capital contribution of $365 million received from Entergy Corporation in 2026.
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | ||||||||||
| Debt to capital | 48.2 | % | 50.9 | % | |||||||
| Effect of excluding securitization bonds | (1.4 | %) | (1.4 | %) | |||||||
| Debt to capital, excluding securitization bonds (non-GAAP) (a) | 46.8 | % | 49.5 | % | |||||||
| Effect of subtracting cash | (2.9 | %) | (1.9 | %) | |||||||
| Net debt to net capital, excluding securitization bonds (non-GAAP) (a) | 43.9 | % | 47.6 | % |
(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 - Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the Form 10-K for a discussion of Entergy Texas’s uses and sources of capital. The following are updates to the information provided in the Form 10-K.
Entergy Texas’s receivables from the money pool were as follows:
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||||||||||||
| (In Thousands) | ||||||||||||||||||||
| $33,216 | $22,467 | $54,681 | $18,504 |
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 March 31, 2026, 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 March 31, 2026, $104.4 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.

State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery
See “MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery” in the Form 10-K for a discussion of state and local rate regulation and fuel-cost recovery. The following are updates to that discussion.
Retail Rates
Distribution Cost Recovery Factor (DCRF) Rider
In April 2026, Entergy Texas filed with the PUCT a request to amend its DCRF rider. The proposed rider is designed to collect from Entergy Texas’s retail customers approximately $112.5 million annually, or $20.4 million in incremental annual revenues beyond Entergy Texas’s currently effective DCRF rider based on its capital invested in distribution between July 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025.
Transmission Cost Recovery Factor (TCRF) Rider
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in October 2025, Entergy Texas filed with the PUCT a request to amend its TCRF rider. The amended rider was designed to collect from Entergy Texas’s retail customers approximately $30.3 million annually, or $20.6 million in incremental annual revenues beyond Entergy Texas’s then-effective TCRF rider based on its capital invested in transmission between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025 and changes in other transmission charges. In April 2026 the PUCT approved the TCRF rider, consistent with Entergy Texas’s as-filed request, and rates became effective for usage on and after April 6, 2026.
Generation Cost Recovery Rider
In March 2026, Entergy Texas filed an application to establish a generation cost recovery rider to begin recovering a return of and on its capital investment in the Orange County Advanced Power Station. The proposed generation cost recovery rider, which includes Entergy Texas’s capital invested in generation for the Orange County Advanced Power Station through December 31, 2025, is designed to collect approximately $150.4 million annually from Entergy Texas’s retail customers. By statute, the proposed generation cost recovery rider rates are to become effective when the Orange County Advanced Power Station is placed into service, which is expected in third quarter 2026.

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 three customers, Entergy Arkansas, 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.
Results of Operations
Net Income
Net income remained relatively flat, decreasing by $0.4 million, for the first quarter 2026 compared to the first quarter 2025.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 15.9% for the first quarter 2026. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2026 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to 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 rate was 21.2% for the first quarter 2025. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2025 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the accrual for state income taxes, partially offset by book and tax differences related to utility plant items.

System Energy Resources, Inc.
Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis
Operating Activities
Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $23.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to higher collections from customers, partially offset by an increase of $17.9 million in spending on nuclear refueling outage costs in 2026 as compared to 2025.
Investing Activities
Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $150.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to net purchases of $106.3 million in 2026 compared to net proceeds of $11.6 million in 2025 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 an increase of $33.6 million in nuclear construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending in 2026 on Grand Gulf outage projects and upgrades.
Financing Activities
System Energy’s financing activities provided $104.3 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to using $49 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to the following activity:
-
the issuance of $80 million of 5.28% Series L notes by the System Energy nuclear fuel company variable interest entity in January 2026;
-
net long-term borrowings of $24.9 million in 2026 compared to net repayments of $13.8 million in 2025 on the nuclear fuel company variable interest entity’s credit facility; and
-
the payment of $35 million in common stock dividends and distributions in 2025 in order to maintain System Energy’s capital structure. No common stock dividends or distributions were paid in 2026.
Capital Structure
System Energy’s debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table. The increase in the debt to capital ratio for System Energy is primarily due to the net issuance of long-term debt in 2026.
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | ||||||||||
| Debt to capital | 54.9 | % | 53.1 | % | |||||||
| Effect of subtracting cash | — | % | — | % | |||||||
| Net debt to net capital (non-GAAP) | 54.9 | % | 53.1 | % |
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.

Nuclear Matters
See “MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – Nuclear Matters” in the Form 10-K for a discussion of nuclear matters. The following is an update to that discussion.
Nuclear 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. Grand Gulf is currently in Column 1.
In March 2026 the NRC issued an inspection report for Grand Gulf, in which it identified a preliminary “white” finding with “low safety significance” related to one of Grand Gulf’s emergency diesel generators. The NRC is continuing its evaluation of the issue and is expected to complete its determination during second quarter 2026. If the NRC’s review results in a final white finding, Grand Gulf would be placed in Column 2 and would remain in Column 2 until the satisfactory completion of an NRC supplemental inspection.
