ENTERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Entergy operates primarily through two business segments: Utility and Entergy Wholesale Commodities.


•	The Utility business segment includes the generation, transmission, distribution, and sale of electric power in portions of Arkansas, Mississippi, Texas, and Louisiana, including the City of New Orleans; and operation of a small natural gas distribution business.

•

The Entergy Wholesale Commodities business segment includes the ownership and operation of six nuclear power plants located in the northern United States and the sale of the electric power produced by those plants to wholesale customers. In August 2013, Entergy announced plans to close and decommission Vermont Yankee. The plant is expected to cease power production in the fourth quarter 2014 after its current fuel cycle. This business also provides services to other nuclear power plant owners. Entergy Wholesale Commodities also owns interests in non-nuclear power plants that sell the electric power produced by those plants to wholesale customers.

Results of Operations

Following are income statement variances for Utility, Entergy Wholesale Commodities, Parent & Other, and Entergy comparing the first quarter 2014 to the first quarter 2013 showing how much the line item increased or (decreased) in comparison to the prior period:



	Utility			Entergy Wholesale Commodities			Parent & Other (a)			Entergy
	(In Thousands)
1st Quarter 2013 Consolidated Net Income (Loss)		$127,835			$82,114			($42,967	)		$166,982

Net revenue (operating revenue less fuel expense, purchased power, and other regulatory charges/credits)	114,089			255,023			(2,817		)	366,295

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Net Revenue

Utility

Following is an analysis of the change in net revenue comparing the first quarter 2014 to the first quarter 2013:



	Amount
	(In Millions)
2013 net revenue		$1,223
Volume/weather	69
Retail electric price	34
Other	11
2014 net revenue		$1,337

The volume/weather variance is primarily due to an increase of 2,307 GWh, or 9%, in billed electricity usage, including the effect of more favorable weather on residential and commercial sales in the first quarter 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year and an increase in sales to industrial customers. The increase in industrial sales was primarily due to expansions, recovery of a major refining customer from an unplanned outage in 2013, and continued moderate growth in the manufacturing sector.

The retail electric price variance is primarily due to:


•	a formula rate plan increase at Entergy Mississippi, as approved by the MPSC, effective September 2013;


•	an increase in the energy efficiency rider at Entergy Arkansas, as approved by the APSC, effective July 2013. Energy efficiency revenues are largely offset by costs included in other operation and maintenance expenses and have minimal effect on net income;


•	an increase in purchased power capacity costs at Entergy Gulf States Louisiana and Entergy Louisiana that are recovered through base rates set in the annual formula rate plan mechanisms; and


•	an increase in the storm damage rider, as approved by the MPSC, effective October 2013. The increase in the storm damage rider is offset by other operation and maintenance expenses and has no effect on net income.

See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for a discussion of rate proceedings.

Entergy Wholesale Commodities

Following is an analysis of the change in net revenue comparing the first quarter 2014 to the first quarter 2013:



	Amount
	(In Millions)
2013 net revenue		$493
Nuclear realized price changes	240
Mark-to-market value changes	30
Nuclear volume	(2		)
Other	(13		)
2014 net revenue		$748

As shown in the table above, net revenue for Entergy Wholesale Commodities increased by $255 million in the first quarter 2014 compared to the first quarter 2013 primarily due to higher realized wholesale energy prices reflecting cold winter weather and northeast pipeline infrastructure limitations. Entergy Wholesale Commodities’ hedging strategies routinely include financial instruments that manage operational and liquidity risk. These positions, in addition to a larger-than-normal unhedged position in 2014 due to Vermont Yankee being in its final year of operation, allowed Entergy Wholesale Commodities to benefit from increases in Northeast market power prices throughout the

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

quarter. Net revenue also reflected mark-to-market activity, which was positive for the quarter. See Note 8 to the financial statements herein for discussion of derivative instruments.

Following are key performance measures for Entergy Wholesale Commodities for the first quarter 2014 and 2013:



	2014	2013
Owned capacity (MW) (a)	6,068	6,612
GWh billed	10,014	10,387
Average realized revenue per MWh	$90.68	$58.66

Entergy Wholesale Commodities Nuclear Fleet
Capacity factor	82%	83%
GWh billed	9,079	9,246
Average realized revenue per MWh	$88.86	$57.82
Refueling Outage Days:
Indian Point 2	24	—
Indian Point 3	—	28
Palisades	56	—
Vermont Yankee	—	22

(a) The reduction in owned capacity is due to the retirement of the 544 MW Ritchie Unit 2 in November 2013.

Realized Revenue per MWh for Entergy Wholesale Commodities Nuclear Plants

See "MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – Results of Operations - Realized Revenue per MWh for Entergy Wholesale Commodities Nuclear Plants" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of the effects of sustained low natural gas prices and power market structure challenges on market prices for electricity in the New York and New England power regions over the past few years.

Other Income Statement Items

Utility

Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased from $520 million for the first quarter 2013 to $497 million for the first quarter 2014 primarily due to:

•

a decrease of $24 million in payroll, compensation, and benefits costs primarily due to fewer employees, an increase in the discount rates used to determine net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs, and other postretirement benefit plan design changes. See "MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – Critical Accounting Estimates" in the Form 10-K and Note 6 to the financial statements herein for further discussion of benefits costs;


•	a decrease of $13 million in fossil-fueled generation expenses primarily resulting from a lower scope of work done during plant outages in 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013; and


•	a decrease of $7 million resulting from costs incurred in 2013 related to the now-terminated plan to spin off and merge the Utility’s transmission business.

The decrease was partially offset by:


•	an increase of $9 million due to administration fees in 2014 related to participation in the MISO RTO;

Table of Contents

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis


•	an increase of $7 million in storm damage accruals primarily at Entergy Mississippi effective October 2013, as approved by the MPSC, and at Entergy Arkansas effective January 2014, as approved by the APSC; and


•	an increase of $6 million in energy efficiency costs. These costs are recovered through an energy efficiency rider and have a minimal effect on net income.

Interest expense increased primarily due to net debt issuances of first mortgage bonds by Entergy Arkansas and Entergy Louisiana in the second and third quarters of 2013. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein and Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for more details of long-term debt.

Entergy Wholesale Commodities

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased primarily due to a change in the estimated average useful lives of plant in service as a result of a new depreciation study as well as additions to plant in service.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 34.8% for the first quarter 2014. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2014 versus the statutory rate of 35% was primarily due to a deferred state income tax reduction related to a New York tax law change. See Note 10 to the financial statements herein for a discussion of the New York tax law change.

The effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2013 was 41.1%. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2013 versus the statutory rate of 35% was due to state income taxes, the provision for uncertain tax positions, and certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items, partially offset by book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction.

Entergy Wholesale Commodities Authorizations to Operate Its Nuclear Power Plants

See the Form 10-K for a discussion of the NRC operating licenses for Indian Point 2 and Indian Point 3 and the NRC license renewal applications in process for these plants. Following is an update to the discussion regarding the NRC proceedings. In April 2014 the ASLB granted Entergy’s motion to dismiss as moot a contention by Riverkeeper alleging that the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement failed to adequately address endangered species issues. At the same time, the ASLB denied a motion filed by Riverkeeper in August 2013 to amend its endangered species contention. Subject to possible appeal by Riverkeeper of one or both orders related to its endangered species contention, there are now three Track 2 contentions. Testimony on the remaining Track 2 contentions has not been completed, and Track 2 hearings have not been scheduled.

See “Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” in Note 11 to the financial statements herein for discussion regarding the planned shutdown of the Vermont Yankee plant by the end of 2014.

In July 2013, Entergy Arkansas filed a complaint in the Circuit Court in Pope County, Arkansas against the owner of the heavy-lifting apparatus that collapsed, an engineering firm, a general contractor, and certain individuals asserting claims of breach of contract, negligence, and gross negligence in connection with their responsibility for the stator drop. During the first quarter 2014, Entergy Arkansas collected $33 million from NEIL and is pursuing additional recoveries due under the policy.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

See "MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - Liquidity and Capital Resources" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of Entergy’s capital structure, capital expenditure plans and other uses of capital, and sources of capital. Following are updates to that discussion.

Capital Structure

Entergy’s capitalization is balanced between equity and debt, as shown in the following table.



	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Debt to capital	57.5	%	57.9	%
Effect of excluding the securitization bonds	(1.6	%)	(1.6	%)
Debt to capital, excluding securitization bonds (a)	55.9	%	56.3	%
Effect of subtracting cash	(1.8	%)	(1.5	%)
Net debt to net capital, excluding securitization bonds (a)	54.1	%	54.8	%


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

Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of notes payable and commercial paper, capital lease obligations, and long-term debt, including the currently maturing portion. Capital consists of debt, common shareholders’ equity, and subsidiaries’ preferred stock without sinking fund. Net capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. Entergy uses the debt to capital ratios excluding securitization bonds in analyzing its financial condition and believes they provide useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy’s financial condition because the securitization bonds are non-recourse to Entergy, as more fully described in Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K. Entergy also uses the net debt to net capital ratio excluding securitization bonds in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy’s financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy’s outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.

Entergy Corporation has in place a credit facility that has a borrowing capacity of $3.5 billion and expires in March 2019. Entergy Corporation has the ability to issue letters of credit against 50% of the total borrowing capacity of the facility. Following is a summary of the borrowings outstanding and capacity available under the facility as of March 31, 2014:



Capacity		Borrowings		Letters of Credit		Capacity Available
(In Millions)
	$3,500		$115		$9		$3,376

A covenant in Entergy Corporation’s credit facility requires Entergy to maintain a consolidated debt ratio of 65% or less of its total capitalization. The calculation of this debt ratio under Entergy Corporation’s credit facility is different than the calculation of the debt to capital ratio above. Entergy is currently in compliance with the covenant. If Entergy

fails to meet this ratio, or if Entergy or one of the Utility operating companies (except Entergy New Orleans) defaults on other indebtedness or is in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, an acceleration of the facility’s maturity date may occur. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the Entergy Corporation credit facility and discussion of the Registrant Subsidiaries’ credit facilities.

See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the Entergy Corporation commercial paper program. As of March 31, 2014, Entergy Corporation had $1,059 million of commercial paper outstanding.

Capital Expenditure Plans and Other Uses of Capital

See the table and discussion in the Form 10-K under "MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Capital Expenditure Plans and Other Uses of Capital," that sets forth the amounts of planned construction and other capital investments by operating segment for 2014 through 2016.

Dividends

Declarations of dividends on Entergy’s common stock are made at the discretion of the Board. Among other things, the Board evaluates the level of Entergy’s common stock dividends based upon Entergy’s earnings, financial strength, and future investment opportunities. At its April 2014 meeting, the Board declared a dividend of $0.83 per share, which is the same quarterly dividend per share that Entergy has paid since the second quarter 2010.

Cash Flow Activity

As shown in Entergy’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:



	2014			2013
	(In Millions)
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period		$739			$533
Cash flow provided by (used in):
Operating activities	767			544
Investing activities	(656		)	(661		)
Financing activities	58			(153		)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	169			(270		)
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period		$908			$263

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $223 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to higher Entergy Wholesale Commodities and Utility net revenues in 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, as discussed previously. The increase was partially offset by an increase of $55 million in pension contributions, an increase of $14 million in spending on nuclear refueling outages in 2014 as compared to the same period in prior year, and decreased recovery of fuel costs. See "MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – Critical Accounting Estimates" in the Form 10-K and Note 6 to the financial statements herein for a discussion of qualified pension and other postretirement benefits funding.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to:


•	a decrease in construction expenditures, primarily in the Utility business, including a decrease in spending on the Ninemile 6 self-build project, spending in 2013 on the Waterford 3 steam generator project, and a decrease in storm restoration spending;

•

a change in collateral deposit activity, reflected in the “Decrease (increase) in other investments” line on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, as Entergy received net deposits of $21 million in 2014 and returned net deposits of $44 million in 2013. Entergy Wholesale Commodities’ forward sales contracts are discussed in the “Market and Credit Risk Sensitive Instruments” section below;


•	$24 million in insurance proceeds received in the first quarter 2014 for property damages related to the generator stator incident at ANO, as discussed above; and


•	proceeds from the sale of aircraft in first quarter 2014.

These factors were substantially offset by the withdrawal of a total of $252 million from Entergy Gulf States Louisiana’s and Entergy Louisiana’s storm reserve escrow accounts in 2013 as a result of Hurricane Isaac. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of Hurricane Isaac.

Financing Activities

Financing activities provided $58 million in net cash for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to using $153 million in net cash for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to:

•

long-term debt activity providing approximately $17 million of cash in 2014 compared to using $285 million of cash in 2013. Included in the long-term debt activity is $140 million in 2014 and $225 million in 2013 for the repayment of borrowings on the Entergy Corporation long-term credit facility. Entergy Corporation issued $14 million of commercial paper in 2014 and $219 million in 2013, in part, to repay borrowings on its long-term credit facility;


•	a net increase of $165 million in short-term borrowings by the nuclear fuel company variable interest entities;


•	a net increase of $95 million in 2013 in short-term borrowings through the Utility companies’ credit facilities; and


•	an increase of $27 million in treasury stock issuances in 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.

For details of long-term debt activity and Entergy’s commercial paper program in 2014, see Note 4 to the financial statements herein.

Entergy’s Integration Into the MISO Regional Transmission Organization

As discussed in the Form 10-K, on December 19, 2013, the Utility operating companies successfully completed their planned integration into the MISO RTO.

In January 2013, Occidental Chemical Corporation filed with the FERC a petition for declaratory judgment and complaint against MISO alleging that MISO’s proposed treatment of Qualifying Facilities (QFs) in the Entergy region is unduly discriminatory in violation of sections 205 and 206 of the Federal Power Act and violates PURPA and the FERC’s implementing regulations. Occidental’s filing asks that the FERC declare that MISO’s QF integration plan is unlawful, find that the plan cannot be implemented because MISO did not file it pursuant to section 205 of the Federal Power Act, and direct that MISO modify certain aspects of the plan. Entergy sought to intervene and filed a protest to the pleadings.

In February 2014, Occidental filed a petition for enforcement against the LPSC. Occidental’s petition for enforcement alleges that the LPSC’s January 2014 order, which approved Entergy Gulf States Louisiana’s and Entergy Louisiana’s application for modification of Entergy’s methodology for calculating avoided cost rates paid to QFs, is inconsistent with the requirements of PURPA and the FERC’s regulations implementing PURPA. In April 2014 the FERC issued a “Notice Of Intent Not To Act At This Time” with respect to Occidental’s petition for enforcement against the LPSC. The FERC concluded that Occidental’s petition for enforcement largely raises the same issues as those raised in the January 2013 complaint and petition for declaratory order that Occidental had filed against MISO, and that the two proceedings should be addressed at the same time. The FERC reserved its ability to issue a further order or to take further action at a future date should it find that doing so is appropriate.

In April 2014, Occidental filed a complaint in federal district court for the Middle District of Louisiana against the LPSC and Entergy Louisiana that challenges the January 2014 order issued by the LPSC on grounds similar to those raised in the 2013 complaint and 2014 petition for enforcement that Occidental previously filed at the FERC. The district court complaint seeks a declaration that the January 2014 order conflicts with and is preempted by PURPA and the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution, and also seeks an injunction prohibiting the LPSC and Entergy Louisiana from enforcing or utilizing the practices approved in the order. The district court complaint seeks damages from Entergy Louisiana and a declaration from the district court that in pursuing the January 2014 order Entergy Louisiana breached an existing agreement with Occidental and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

In February 2013, Entergy Services, on behalf of the Utility operating companies, made a filing with the FERC requesting to adopt the standard Attachment O formula rate template used by transmission owners to establish transmission rates within MISO. The filing proposed four transmission pricing zones for the Utility operating companies, one for Entergy Arkansas, one for Entergy Mississippi, one for Entergy Texas, and one for Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, and Entergy New Orleans. In June 2013 the FERC issued an order accepting the use of four transmission pricing zones and set for hearing and settlement judge procedures those issues of material fact that FERC decided could not be resolved based on the existing record. Several parties, including the City Council, filed requests for rehearing of the June 2013 order. In February 2014 the FERC issued an order addressing the rehearing requests. Among other things, the FERC denied rehearing and affirmed its prior decision allowing the four transmission pricing zones for the Utility operating companies in MISO. The FERC granted rehearing and set for hearing and settlement judge proceedings certain challenges of MISO’s regional through and out rates. In March 2014 certain parties filed a request for rehearing of the FERC’s February 2014 order on issues related to MISO’s regional through and out rates. In February 2014 and April 2014 various parties appealed the FERC’s June 2013 and February 2014 orders to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit where the appeals have been consolidated for further proceedings.

System Agreement

Utility Operating Company Notices of Termination of System Agreement Participation

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in February 2014, Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Gulf States Louisiana provided notice of their respective decisions to terminate their participation in the System Agreement and made a filing with the FERC seeking acceptance of the notice. In the FERC filing, Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Gulf States Louisiana requested an effective date of February 14, 2019 or such other effective date approved by the FERC for the termination. In March 2014 the City Council submitted comments to the FERC regarding the notices of termination. The City Council requested the FERC either to condition its acceptance of the notices on compliance with the prior 96-month notice termination period, or in the alternative, to consolidate the notice filings with the proceeding related to the Utility operating companies’ proposal to shorten the System Agreement’s termination notice period from 96 months to 60 months, and to set all of the proceedings for hearing. Also in March 2014, Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Gulf States Louisiana filed a response to the City Council’s comments requesting that the FERC accept the notices without hearing and with an effective date subject to and consistent with the notice period established by the FERC in the proceeding related to the Utility operating companies’ proposal to shorten the System Agreement’s termination notice period. Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, and Entergy New Orleans continue to discuss with the LPSC staff and City Council advisors a proposal for the purpose of reaching a consensual agreement among Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, and Entergy New Orleans on early termination of the System Agreement.

Market and Credit Risk Sensitive Instruments

Commodity Price Risk

Power Generation

As a wholesale generator, Entergy Wholesale Commodities’ core business is selling energy, measured in MWh, to its customers. Entergy Wholesale Commodities enters into forward contracts with its customers and sells energy in the day ahead or spot markets. In addition to selling the energy produced by its plants, Entergy Wholesale Commodities sells unforced capacity, which allows load-serving entities to meet specified reserve and related requirements placed on them by the ISOs in their respective areas. Entergy Wholesale Commodities’ forward physical power contracts consist of contracts to sell energy only, contracts to sell capacity only, and bundled contracts in which it sells both capacity and energy. While the terminology and payment mechanics vary in these contracts, each of these types of contracts requires Entergy Wholesale Commodities to deliver MWh of energy, make capacity available, or both. In addition to its forward physical power contracts, Entergy Wholesale Commodities also uses a combination of financial contracts, including swaps, collars, and options, to manage forward commodity price risk. Certain hedge volumes have price downside and upside relative to market price movement. The contracted minimum, expected value, and sensitivities are provided to show potential variations. The sensitivities may not reflect the total maximum upside potential from higher market prices. The information contained in the following table 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. Following is a summary of Entergy Wholesale Commodities’ current forward capacity and generation contracts as well as total revenue projections based on market prices as of March 31, 2014 (2014 represents the remainder of the year):

(a)	Percent of planned generation output sold or purchased forward under contracts, forward physical contracts, forward financial contracts, or options that mitigate price uncertainty that may require regulatory approval or approval of transmission rights. Positions that are no longer classified as hedges are netted in the planned generation under contract.


(b)	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.

(c)

A sale of power on a unit-contingent basis coupled with a guarantee of availability provides for the payment to the power purchaser of contract damages, if incurred, in the event the seller fails to deliver power as a result of the failure of the specified generation unit to generate power at or above a specified availability threshold. All of Entergy’s outstanding guarantees of availability provide for dollar limits on Entergy’s maximum liability under such guarantees.


(d)	Transaction that requires receipt or delivery of energy at a specified delivery point (usually at a market hub not associated with a specific asset) or settles financially on notional quantities; if a party fails to deliver or receive energy, defaulting party must compensate the other party as specified in the contract, a portion of which may be capped through the use of risk management products.


(e)	Transactions for the purchase of energy, generally to offset a firm LD transaction.


(f)	Amount of output expected to be generated by Entergy Wholesale Commodities resources considering plant operating characteristics, outage schedules, and expected market conditions that affect dispatch.

(g)

Assumes NRC license renewals for plants whose current licenses expire within five years. Assumes shutdown of Vermont Yankee in the fourth quarter 2014 and uninterrupted normal operation at remaining plants. NRC license renewal applications are in process for two units, as follows (with current license expirations in parentheses): Indian Point 2 (September 2013 and now operating under its period of extended operations) and Indian Point 3 (December 2015). For a discussion regarding the shutdown of the Vermont Yankee plant, see “Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” in Note 11 to the financial statements herein. For a discussion regarding the license renewals for Indian Point 2 and Indian Point 3, see “Entergy Wholesale Commodities Authorizations to Operate Its Nuclear Power Plants” herein and in the Form10-K.


(h)	Percent of planned qualified capacity sold to mitigate price uncertainty under physical or financial transactions.


(i)	A contract for the sale of installed capacity and related energy, priced per megawatt-hour sold.


(j)	A contract for the sale of an installed capacity product in a regional market.

(k)

Contracts priced in accordance with cost-based rates, a ratemaking concept used for the design and development of rate schedules to ensure that the filed rate schedules recover only the cost of providing the service; these contracts are on owned non-utility resources located within Entergy’s Utility service area and were executed prior to receiving market-based rate authority under MISO. The percentage sold assumes completion of the necessary transmission upgrades required for the approved transmission rights.


(l)	Non-nuclear planned generation and net MW in operation include purchases from affiliated and non-affiliated counterparties under long-term contracts and exclude energy and capacity from Entergy Wholesale Commodities’ wind investment. The decrease in planned net MW in operation beginning in 2017 is due to the expiration of a non-affiliated 75 MW contact.


(m)	Includes expectations for the new New York ISO Lower Hudson Valley capacity zone starting in May 2014.

Entergy estimates that a positive $10 per MWh change in the annual average energy price in the markets in which the Entergy Wholesale Commodities nuclear business sells power, based on March 31, 2014 market conditions, planned generation volumes, and hedged positions, would have a corresponding effect on pre-tax net income of $148 million for the remainder of 2014. A negative $10 per MWh change in the annual average energy price in the markets based on March 31, 2014 market conditions, planned generation volumes, and hedged positions, would have a corresponding effect on pre-tax net income of ($142) million for the remainder of 2014.

Some of the agreements to sell the power produced by Entergy Wholesale Commodities’ power plants contain provisions that require an Entergy subsidiary to provide collateral to secure its obligations under the agreements. The Entergy subsidiary is required to provide collateral based upon the difference between the current market and contracted power prices in the regions where Entergy Wholesale Commodities sells power. The primary form of collateral to

Table of Contents

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

satisfy these requirements is an Entergy Corporation guaranty. Cash and letters of credit are also acceptable forms of collateral. At March 31, 2014, based on power prices at that time, Entergy had liquidity exposure of $264 million under the guarantees in place supporting Entergy Wholesale Commodities transactions and $73 million of posted cash collateral. As of March 31, 2014, the liquidity exposure associated with Entergy Wholesale Commodities assurance requirements, including return of previously posted collateral from counterparties, would increase by $148 million for a $1 per MMBtu increase in gas prices in both the short-and long-term markets. In the event of a decrease in Entergy Corporation’s credit rating to below investment grade, based on power prices as of March 31, 2014, Entergy would have been required to provide approximately $114 million of additional cash or letters of credit under some of the agreements.

As of March 31, 2014, substantially all of the counterparties or their guarantors for 100% of the planned energy output under contract for Entergy Wholesale Commodities nuclear plants through 2018 have public investment grade credit ratings.

Nuclear Matters

See "MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – Nuclear Matters" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of nuclear matters.

Critical Accounting Estimates

See "MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - Critical Accounting Estimates" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of the estimates and judgments necessary in Entergy’s accounting for nuclear decommissioning costs, unbilled revenue, impairment of long-lived assets and trust fund investments, qualified pension and other postretirement benefits, and other contingencies. Following is an update to that discussion.

Nuclear Decommissioning Costs

In the first quarter 2014, Entergy Arkansas recorded a revision to its estimated decommissioning cost liabilities for ANO 1 and ANO 2 as a result of a revised decommissioning cost study. The revised estimates resulted in a $43.6 million increase in the decommissioning cost liabilities, along with a corresponding increase in the related asset retirement cost assets that will be depreciated over the remaining lives of the units.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The accounting standard-setting process, including projects between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to converge U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards, is ongoing and the FASB and the IASB are each currently working on several projects that have not yet resulted in final pronouncements. Final pronouncements that result from these projects could have a material effect on Entergy’s future net income, financial position, or cash flows.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy)

Entergy and the Registrant Subsidiaries are involved in a number of legal, regulatory, and tax proceedings before various courts, regulatory commissions, and governmental agencies in the ordinary course of business. While management is unable to predict the outcome of such proceedings, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on Entergy’s results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition, except as otherwise discussed in the Form 10-K or in this report. Entergy discusses regulatory proceedings in Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K and herein and discusses tax proceedings in Note 3 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K and Note 10 to the financial statements herein.

ANO Damage and Outage

See Note 8 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of the ANO stator incident. The total cost of assessment, restoration of off-site power, site restoration, debris removal, and replacement of damaged property and equipment was $95 million as of March 31, 2014. In addition, Entergy Arkansas incurred replacement power costs for ANO 2 power during its outage and incurred incremental replacement power costs for ANO 1 power because the outage extended beyond the originally-planned duration of the refueling outage. In February 2014, the APSC approved Entergy Arkansas’s request to exclude from the calculation of its revised energy cost rate $65.9 million of deferred fuel and purchased energy costs incurred in 2013 as a result of the ANO stator incident. The APSC authorized Entergy Arkansas to retain the $65.9 million in its deferred fuel balance with recovery to be reviewed in a later period after more information regarding various claims associated with the ANO stator incident is available. Entergy Arkansas is assessing its options for recovering damages that resulted from the stator drop, including its insurance coverage and legal action. Entergy is a member of Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL), a mutual insurance company that provides property damage coverage to the members’ nuclear generating plants, including ANO. NEIL has notified Entergy that it believes that a $50 million course of construction sublimit applies to any loss associated with the lifting apparatus failure and stator drop at ANO. Entergy has responded that it disagrees with NEIL’s position and is evaluating its options for enforcing its rights under the policy. On July 12, 2013, Entergy Arkansas filed a complaint in the Circuit Court in Pope County, Arkansas against the owner of the heavy-lifting apparatus that collapsed, an engineering firm, a general contractor, and certain individuals asserting claims of breach of contract, negligence, and gross negligence in connection with their responsibility for the stator drop. During the first quarter of 2014, Entergy Arkansas collected $33 million from NEIL and is pursuing additional recoveries due under the policy.

Baxter Wilson Plant Event

On September 11, 2013, Entergy Mississippi’s Baxter Wilson (Unit 1) power plant experienced a significant unplanned outage event. Entergy Mississippi completed the process of assessing the nature and extent of the damage to the unit and repairs are in progress. The current estimate of costs to return the unit to service is in the range of $45 million to $60 million. This estimate may change as restorative activities occur. The costs necessary to return the plant to service are expected to be incurred into late 2014. Entergy Mississippi believes that the damage is covered by its property insurance policy, subject to a $20 million deductible. In December 2013, Entergy Mississippi made a filing with the MPSC requesting approval for Entergy Mississippi to defer and accumulate the costs incurred in connection with Baxter Wilson repair activities, net of applicable insurance proceeds, with such costs to be recoverable in a manner to be determined by the MPSC. The MPSC has not acted on Entergy Mississippi’s request.

See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for detailed information regarding retail rate proceedings involving the Utility operating companies. The following are updates to that information.

Filings with the LPSC

Retail Rates - Gas (Entergy Gulf States Louisiana)

In January 2014, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana filed with the LPSC its gas rate stabilization plan for the test year ended September 30, 2013. The filing showed an earned return on common equity of 5.47%, which results in a $1.5 million rate increase. In April 2014 the LPSC Staff issued a report indicating "that Entergy Gulf States Louisiana has properly determined its earnings for the test year ended September 30, 2013." The $1.5 million rate increase was implemented effective with the first billing cycle of April 2014.

Filings with the City Council (Entergy Louisiana)

In March 2013, Entergy Louisiana filed a rate case for the Algiers area, which is in New Orleans and is regulated

by the City Council. Entergy Louisiana is requesting a rate increase of $13 million over three years, including a 10.4%

Table of Contents

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Financial Statements

three years, including an 8.13% return on common equity. New rates are currently expected to become effective in second quarter 2014. The procedural schedule calls for the hearing on the merits to commence on May 20, 2014.

Filings with the PUCT (Entergy Texas)

2013 Rate Case

In September 2013, Entergy Texas filed a rate case requesting a $38.6 million base rate increase reflecting a 10.4% return on common equity based on an adjusted test year ending March 31, 2013. The rate case also proposed (1) a rough production cost equalization adjustment rider recovering Entergy Texas’s payment to Entergy New Orleans to achieve rough production cost equalization based on calendar year 2012 production costs and (2) a rate case expense rider recovering the cost of the 2013 rate case and certain costs associated with previous rate cases. The rate case filing also included a request to reconcile $0.9 billion of fuel and purchased power costs and fuel revenues covering the period July 2011 through March 2013. The fuel reconciliation also reflects special circumstances fuel cost recovery of approximately $22 million of purchased power capacity costs. In January 2014 the PUCT staff filed direct testimony recommending a retail rate reduction of $0.3 million and a 9.2% return on common equity. In March 2014, Entergy Texas filed an Agreed Motion for Interim Rates. The motion explained that the parties to this proceeding have agreed that Entergy Texas should be allowed to implement new rates reflecting an $18.5 million base rate increase, effective for usage on and after April 1, 2014, as well as recovery of charges for rough production cost equalization and rate case expenses. In March 2014, the State Office of Administrative Hearings, the body assigned to hear the case, approved the motion. In April 2014, Entergy Texas filed a unanimous stipulation in this case. Among other things, the stipulation provides for an $18.5 million base rate increase, recovery over three years of rough production cost equalization charges and rate case expenses (the same as the interim rates currently in effect), and states a 9.8% return on common equity. In addition, the stipulation finalizes the fuel and purchased power reconciliation covering the period July 2011 through March 2013, with the parties stipulating an immaterial fuel disallowance. No special circumstances recovery of purchased power costs was allowed. In April 2014, the State Office of Administrative Hearings remanded the case back to the PUCT for final processing. A memorandum filed in this matter by the PUCT’s ALJ indicates that the PUCT will consider this matter at its open meeting currently scheduled for May 16, 2014.

System Agreement Cost Equalization Proceedings

See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of the proceedings regarding the System Agreement, including the FERC’s October 2011 order and Entergy’s December 2011 compliance filing in response to that order. In February 2014 the FERC issued a rehearing order addressing its October 2011 order. The FERC denied the LPSC’s request for rehearing on the issues of whether the bandwidth remedy should be made effective earlier than June 1, 2005, and whether refunds should be ordered for the 20-month refund effective period. The FERC granted the LPSC’s rehearing request on the issue of interest on the bandwidth payments/receipts for the June - December 2005 period, requiring that interest be accrued from June 1, 2006 until the date those bandwidth payments/receipts are made. Also in February 2014 the FERC issued an order rejecting the December 2011 compliance filing that calculated the bandwidth payments/receipts for the June - December 2005 period. The FERC order requires a new compliance filing that calculates the bandwidth payments/receipts for the June - December 2005 period based on monthly data for the seven individual months and that includes interest pursuant to the February 2014 rehearing order. Entergy has sought rehearing of the February 2014 orders with respect to the FERC’s determinations regarding interest.

In April 2014, Entergy filed with the FERC a compliance filing that provides the payments and receipts among the Utility operating companies pursuant to the FERC’s February 2014 orders. The filing shows the following net payments and receipts, including interest, among the Utility operating companies:

Storm Cost Recovery Filings with Retail Regulators

Entergy New Orleans

As discussed in the Form 10-K, total restoration costs for the repair and replacement of Entergy New Orleans’s electric facilities damaged by Hurricane Isaac were $47.3 million. Entergy New Orleans withdrew $17.4 million from the storm reserve escrow account to partially offset these costs. In February 2014, Entergy New Orleans made a filing with the City Council seeking certification of the Hurricane Isaac costs.

NOTE 5. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (Entergy Corporation)

Entergy grants stock awards, which are described more fully in Note 12 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K. Awards under Entergy’s plans generally vest over three years.

Stock Options

Entergy granted 611,700 stock options during the first quarter 2014 with a weighted-average fair value of $8.71 per option. At March 31, 2014, there are 9,557,667 stock options outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $80.32. The intrinsic value, which has no effect on net income, of the outstanding stock options is calculated by the difference in the weighted average exercise price of the stock options granted and Entergy Corporation’s common stock price as of March 31, 2014. Because Entergy’s stock price at March 31, 2014 is less than the weighted average exercise price, the aggregate intrinsic value of the stock options outstanding as of March 31, 2014 is zero. The intrinsic value of “in the money” stock options is $3.6 million as of March 31, 2014.

The following table includes financial information for stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

Other Equity Plans

In January 2014 the Board approved and Entergy granted 352,600 restricted stock awards and 226,792 long-term incentive awards under the 2011 Equity Ownership and Long-term Cash Incentive Plan. The restricted stock awards were made effective as of January 30, 2014 and were valued at $63.17 per share, which was the closing price of Entergy’s common stock on that date. One-third of the restricted stock awards will vest upon each anniversary of the grant date. The long-term incentive awards are granted in the form of performance units, which are equal to the cash value of shares of Entergy Corporation at the end of the performance period, which is the last day of the year. The performance units were made effective as of January 30, 2014 and were valued at $67.16 per share. Entergy considers various factors, primarily market conditions, in determining the value of the performance units. Shares of the restricted stock awards have the same dividend and voting rights as other common stock, are considered issued and outstanding shares of Entergy upon vesting, and are expensed ratably over the 3-year vesting period. Shares of the performance units have the same dividend rights as other common stock, are considered issued and outstanding shares of Entergy upon vesting, and are expensed ratably over the 3-year vesting period.

NOTE 7. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION (Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy)

Entergy Corporation

Entergy’s reportable segments as of March 31, 2014 are Utility and Entergy Wholesale Commodities. Utility includes the generation, transmission, distribution, and sale of electric power in portions of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, and natural gas utility service in portions of Louisiana. Entergy Wholesale Commodities includes the ownership and operation of six nuclear power plants located in the northern United States and the sale of the electric power produced by those plants to wholesale customers. Entergy Wholesale Commodities also includes the ownership of interests in non-nuclear power plants that sell the electric power produced by those plants to wholesale customers. “All Other” includes the parent company, Entergy Corporation, and other business activity.

Entergy’s segment financial information for the first quarters of 2014 and 2013 is as follows:



	Utility		Entergy Wholesale Commodities*		All Other			Eliminations			Entergy
	(In Thousands)
2014
Operating revenues		$2,304,704		$912,122		$761			($8,744	)		$3,208,843
Income taxes		$115,064		$118,877		($16,975	)		$—			$216,966
Consolidated net income (loss)		$205,440		$242,470		($15,462	)		($26,395	)		$406,053
2013

Consolidated net income (loss)		$127,835		$82,114		($16,572	)		($26,395	)		$166,982

Businesses marked with * are sometimes referred to as the “competitive businesses.” Eliminations are primarily intersegment activity. Almost all of Entergy’s goodwill is related to the Utility segment.

Registrant Subsidiaries

Each of the Registrant Subsidiaries has one reportable segment, which is an integrated utility business, except for System Energy, which is an electricity generation business. Each of the Registrant Subsidiaries’ operations is managed on an integrated basis by that company because of the substantial effect of cost-based rates and regulatory oversight on the business process, cost structures, and operating results.

NOTE 8. RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES (Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy)

Market Risk

In the normal course of business, Entergy is exposed to a number of market risks. Market risk is the potential loss that Entergy may incur as a result of changes in the market or fair value of a particular commodity or instrument. All financial and commodity-related instruments, including derivatives, are subject to market risk including commodity price risk, equity price, and interest rate risk. Entergy uses derivatives primarily to mitigate commodity price risk, particularly power price and fuel price risk.

The Utility has limited exposure to the effects of market risk because it operates primarily under cost-based rate regulation. To the extent approved by their retail regulators, the Utility operating companies use derivative instruments to hedge the exposure to price volatility inherent in their purchased power, fuel, and gas purchased for resale costs that are recovered from customers.

Entergy’s exposure to market risk is determined by a number of factors, including the size, term, composition, and diversification of positions held, as well as market volatility and liquidity. For instruments such as options, the time period during which the option may be exercised and the relationship between the current market price of the underlying instrument and the option’s contractual strike or exercise price also affects the level of market risk. A significant factor influencing the overall level of market risk to which Entergy is exposed is its use of hedging techniques to mitigate such risk. Hedging instruments and volumes are chosen based on ability to mitigate risk associated with future energy and capacity prices; however, other considerations are factored into hedge product and volume decisions including corporate liquidity, corporate credit ratings, counterparty credit risk, hedging costs, firm settlement risk, and product availability in the marketplace. Entergy manages market risk by actively monitoring compliance with stated risk management policies as well as monitoring the effectiveness of its hedging policies and strategies. Entergy’s risk management policies limit the amount of total net exposure and rolling net exposure during the stated periods. These policies, including related risk limits, are regularly assessed to ensure their appropriateness given Entergy’s objectives.

Derivatives

Some derivative instruments are classified as cash flow hedges due to their financial settlement provisions while others are classified as normal purchase/normal sale transactions due to their physical settlement provisions. Normal purchase/normal sale risk management tools include power purchase and sales agreements, fuel purchase agreements, capacity contracts, and tolling agreements. Financially-settled cash flow hedges can include

Table of Contents

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Financial Statements

natural gas and electricity swaps and options and interest rate swaps. Entergy may enter into financially-settled swap and option contracts to manage market risk that may or may not be designated as hedging instruments.

Entergy enters into derivatives only to manage natural risks inherent in its physical or financial assets or liabilities. The maximum length of time over which Entergy is currently hedging the variability in future cash flows with derivatives for forecasted power transactions at March 31, 2014 is approximately 2.75 years. Planned generation currently under contract from Entergy Wholesale Commodities nuclear power plants is 75% for the remainder of 2014, of which approximately 45% is sold under financial derivatives and the remainder under normal purchase/normal sale contracts. Total planned generation for the remainder of 2014 is 30 TWh.

Entergy manages fuel price volatility for its Louisiana jurisdictions (Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, Entergy Louisiana, and Entergy New Orleans) and Entergy Mississippi through the purchase of short-term natural gas swaps that financially settle against NYMEX futures. These swaps are marked-to-market through fuel expense with offsetting regulatory assets or liabilities. All benefits or costs of the program are recorded in fuel costs. The notional volumes of these swaps are based on a portion of projected annual exposure to gas for electric generation and projected winter purchases for gas distribution at Entergy Gulf States Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans. The total volume of natural gas swaps outstanding as of March 31, 2014 is 42,490,000 MMBtu for Entergy, 16,070,000 MMBtu for Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, 19,180,000 MMBtu for Entergy Louisiana, and 7,240,000 MMBtu for Entergy Mississippi. Credit support for these natural gas swaps is covered by master agreements that do not require collateralization based on mark-to-market value, but do carry adequate assurance language that may lead to collateralization requests.

In connection with joining MISO, Entergy received a direct allocation of FTRs in November 2013. FTRs are derivative instruments which represent economic hedges of future congestion charges that will be incurred in serving Entergy’s customer load. They are not designated as hedging instruments. Entergy initially records FTRs at their estimated fair value and subsequently adjusts the carrying value to their estimated fair value at the end of each accounting period prior to settlement. Unrealized gains or losses on FTRs held by Entergy Wholesale Commodities are included in operating revenues. The Utility operating companies recognize regulatory liabilities or assets for unrealized gains or losses on FTRs. The total volume of FTRs outstanding as of March 31, 2014 is 15,554 GWh for Entergy, including 3,540 GWh for Entergy Arkansas, 2,613 GWh for Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, 3,998 GWh for Entergy Louisiana, 2,319 GWh for Entergy Mississippi, 523 GWh for Entergy New Orleans, and 2,423 GWh for Entergy Texas. Credit support for FTRs held by the Utility operating companies is covered by cash or letters of credit issued by each Utility operating company as required by MISO. Credit support for FTRs held by Entergy Wholesale Commodities is covered by cash. As of March 31, 2014, Entergy Arkansas posted $1 million in cash collateral.

Notes to Financial Statements

The effect of Entergy’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges on the consolidated income statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:



Instrument	Amount of loss recognized in other comprehensive income	Income Statement location	Amount of loss reclassified from AOCI into income
	(In Millions)		(In Millions)
2014
Electricity swaps and options	($174)	Competitive businesses operating revenues	($195)

2013
Electricity swaps and options	($120)	Competitive businesses operating revenues	($2)

Electricity over-the-counter instruments that financially settle against day-ahead power pool prices are used to manage price exposure for Entergy Wholesale Commodities generation. Unrealized gains or losses recorded in other comprehensive income result from hedging power output at the Entergy Wholesale Commodities power plants. The related gains or losses from hedging power are included in operating revenues when realized. Gains (losses) totaling approximately ($195) million and ($2) million were realized on the maturity of cash flow hedges, before taxes (benefit) of ($68) million and ($1) million, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The change in fair value of Entergy’s cash flow hedges due to ineffectiveness during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $1 million and ($1.3) million, respectively. The ineffective portion of cash flow hedges is recorded in competitive businesses operating revenues.

Based on market prices as of March 31, 2014, unrealized losses recorded in AOCI on cash flow hedges relating to power sales totaled $98 million of net unrealized losses. Approximately $74 million is expected to be reclassified from AOCI to operating revenues in the next twelve months. The actual amount reclassified from AOCI, however, could vary due to future changes in market prices.

Certain of the agreements to sell the power produced by Entergy Wholesale Commodities power plants contain provisions that require an Entergy subsidiary to provide collateral to secure its obligations when the current market prices exceed the contracted power prices. The primary form of collateral to satisfy these requirements is an Entergy Corporation guarantee. As of March 31, 2014, derivative contracts with nine counterparties were in a liability position (approximately $98 million total) and, in addition to the corporate guarantee, $64 million in cash collateral was required to be posted. As of March 31, 2013, derivative contracts with six counterparties were in a liability position (approximately $25 million total), but were significantly below the amount of the guarantee provided under the contract and no cash collateral was required. If the Entergy Corporation credit rating falls below investment grade, the effect of the corporate guarantee is typically ignored and Entergy would have to post collateral equal to the estimated outstanding liability under the contract at the applicable date.

Entergy may effectively liquidate a cash flow hedge instrument by entering into a contract offsetting the original hedge, and then de-designating the original hedge in this situation. Gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income prior to de-designation continue to be deferred in other comprehensive income until they are included in income as the original hedged transaction occurs. From the point of de-designation, the gains or losses on the original hedge and the offsetting contract are recorded as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and offset as they flow through to earnings.

Fair Values

The estimated fair values of Entergy’s financial instruments and derivatives are determined using historical prices, bid prices, market quotes, and financial modeling. Considerable judgment is required in developing the estimates of fair value. Therefore, estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that Entergy could realize in a current market exchange. Gains or losses realized on financial instruments other than those instruments held by the Entergy Wholesale Commodities business are reflected in future rates and therefore do not affect net income. Entergy considers the carrying amounts of most financial instruments classified as current assets and liabilities to be a reasonable estimate of their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Accounting standards define fair value as an exit price, or the price that would be received to sell an asset or the amount that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between knowledgeable market participants at the date of measurement. Entergy and the Registrant Subsidiaries use assumptions or market input data that market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities at fair value. The inputs can be readily observable, corroborated by market data, or generally unobservable. Entergy and the Registrant Subsidiaries endeavor to use the best available information to determine fair value.

Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy establishes the highest priority for unadjusted market quotes in an active market for the identical asset or liability and the lowest priority for unobservable inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Table of Contents

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Financial Statements

•

Level 1 - Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of individually owned common stocks, cash equivalents (temporary cash investments, securitization recovery trust account, and escrow accounts), debt instruments, and gas hedge contracts. Cash equivalents includes all unrestricted highly liquid debt instruments with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.

•

Level 2 - Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are, either directly or indirectly, observable for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Assets are valued based on prices derived by independent third parties that use inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, and issuer spreads. Prices are reviewed and can be challenged with the independent parties and/or overridden by Entergy if it is believed such would be more reflective of fair value. Level 2 inputs include the following:

- quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

- quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

- inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or

- inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or

other means.

Level 2 consists primarily of individually-owned debt instruments or shares in common trusts. Common trust funds are stated at estimated fair value based on the fair market value of the underlying investments.


•	Level 3 - Level 3 inputs are pricing inputs that are generally less observable or unobservable from objective sources. These inputs are used with internally developed methodologies to produce management’s best estimate of fair value for the asset or liability. Level 3 consists primarily of FTRs and derivative power contracts used as cash flow hedges of power sales at merchant power plants.

The values for power contract assets or liabilities are based on both observable inputs including public market prices and interest rates, and unobservable inputs such as implied volatilities, unit contingent discounts, expected basis differences, and credit adjusted counterparty interest rates. They are classified as Level 3 assets and liabilities. The valuations of these assets and liabilities are performed by the Entergy Wholesale Commodities Risk Control Group and the Entergy Wholesale Commodities Accounting Policy and External Reporting group. The primary functions of the Entergy Wholesale Commodities Risk Control Group include: gathering, validating and reporting market data, providing market risk analyses and valuations in support of Entergy Wholesale Commodities’ commercial transactions, developing and administering protocols for the management of market risks, and implementing and maintaining controls around changes to market data in the energy trading and risk management system. The Risk Control group is also responsible for managing the energy trading and risk management system, forecasting revenues, forward positions and analysis. The Entergy Wholesale Commodities Accounting Policy and External Reporting group performs functions related to market and counterparty settlements, revenue reporting and analysis and financial accounting. The Entergy Wholesale Commodities Risk Control Group reports to the Vice President, Treasury while the Entergy Wholesale Commodities Accounting Policy and External Reporting group reports to the Vice President, Accounting Policy and External Reporting.

The amounts reflected as the fair value of electricity swaps are based on the estimated amount that the contracts are in-the-money at the balance sheet date (treated as an asset) or out-of-the-money at the balance sheet date (treated as a liability) and would equal the estimated amount receivable to or payable by Entergy if the contracts were settled at that date. These derivative contracts include cash flow hedges that swap fixed for floating cash flows for sales of the output from the Entergy Wholesale Commodities business. The fair values are based on the mark-to-market comparison between the fixed contract prices and the floating prices determined each period from quoted forward

power market prices. The differences between the fixed price in the swap contract and these market-related prices multiplied by the volume specified in the contract and discounted at the counterparties’ credit adjusted risk free rate are recorded as derivative contract assets or liabilities. For contracts that have unit contingent terms, a further discount is applied based on the historical relationship between contract and market prices for similar contract terms.

The amounts reflected as the fair values of electricity options are valued based on a Black Scholes model, and are calculated at the end of each month for accounting purposes. Inputs to the valuation include end of day forward market prices for the period when the transactions will settle, implied volatilities based on market volatilities provided by a third party data aggregator, and US Treasury rates for a risk-free return rate. As described further below, prices and implied volatilities are reviewed and can be adjusted if it is determined that there is a better representation of fair value.

On a daily basis, Entergy Wholesale Commodities Risk Control Group calculated the mark-to-market for electricity swaps and options. Entergy Wholesale Commodities Risk Control Group also validated forward market prices by comparing them to other sources of forward market prices or to settlement prices of actual market transactions. Significant differences were analyzed and potentially adjusted based on these other sources of forward market prices or settlement prices of actual market transactions. Implied volatilities used to value options were also validated using actual counterparty quotes for Entergy Wholesale Commodities transactions when available, and used multiple sources of market implied volatilities. Moreover, on at least a monthly basis, the Office of Corporate Risk Oversight confirmed the mark-to-market calculations and prepared price scenarios and credit downgrade scenario analysis. The scenario analysis was communicated to senior management within Entergy and within Entergy Wholesale Commodities. Finally, for all proposed derivative transactions, an analysis was completed to assess the risk of adding the proposed derivative to Entergy Wholesale Commodities’s portfolio. In particular, the credit, liquidity, and financial metrics impacts were calculated for this analysis. This analysis was communicated to senior management within Entergy and Entergy Wholesale Commodities.

The values of FTRs are based on unobservable inputs, including estimates of future congestion costs in MISO between applicable sink and source pricing nodes based on prices published by MISO. They are classified as Level 3 assets and liabilities. The valuations of these assets and liabilities are performed by the Entergy Wholesale Commodities Risk Control Group for the unregulated business and by the System Planning and Operations Risk Control Group for the Utility operating companies. Entergy’s Accounting Policy group reviews these valuations for reasonableness, with the assistance of others within the organization with knowledge of the various inputs and assumptions used in the valuation. The System Planning and Operations Risk Control Group reports to the Vice President, Treasury. The Accounting Policy group reports to the Vice President, Accounting Policy and External Reporting.

The following tables set forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, Entergy’s assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to a fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

NOTE 9. DECOMMISSIONING TRUST FUNDS (Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, Entergy Louisiana, and System Energy)

Entergy holds debt and equity securities, classified as available-for-sale, in nuclear decommissioning trust accounts. The NRC requires Entergy subsidiaries to maintain trusts to fund the costs of decommissioning ANO 1, ANO 2, River Bend, Waterford 3, Grand Gulf, Pilgrim, Indian Point 1 and 2, Vermont Yankee, and Palisades (NYPA currently retains the decommissioning trusts and liabilities for Indian Point 3 and FitzPatrick). The funds are invested primarily in equity securities, fixed-rate debt securities, and cash and cash equivalents.

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Financial Statements

Entergy records decommissioning trust funds on the balance sheet at their fair value. Because of the ability of the Registrant Subsidiaries to recover decommissioning costs in rates and in accordance with the regulatory treatment for decommissioning trust funds, the Registrant Subsidiaries have recorded an offsetting amount of unrealized gains/(losses) on investment securities in other regulatory liabilities/assets. For the nonregulated portion of River Bend, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana has recorded an offsetting amount of unrealized gains/(losses) in other deferred credits. Decommissioning trust funds for Pilgrim, Indian Point 1 and 2, Vermont Yankee, and Palisades do not meet the criteria for regulatory accounting treatment. Accordingly, unrealized gains recorded on the assets in these trust funds are recognized in the accumulated other comprehensive income component of shareholders’ equity because these assets are classified as available for sale. Unrealized losses (where cost exceeds fair market value) on the assets in these trust funds are also recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income component of shareholders’ equity unless the unrealized loss is other than temporary and therefore recorded in earnings. Generally, Entergy records realized gains and losses on its debt and equity securities using the specific identification method to determine the cost basis of its securities.

The securities held as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are summarized as follows:



	Fair Value		Total Unrealized Gains		Total Unrealized Losses
	(In Millions)
2014
Equity Securities		$3,061		$1,290		$1
Debt Securities	1,930		55		15

Debt Securities	1,830		47		29
Total		$4,903		$1,307		$29

Deferred taxes on unrealized gains/(losses) are recorded in other comprehensive income for the decommissioning trusts which do not meet the criteria for regulatory accounting treatment as described above. Unrealized gains/(losses) above are reported before deferred taxes of $335 million and $329 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The amortized cost of debt securities was $1,895 million as of March 31, 2014 and $1,843 million as of December 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014, the debt securities have an average coupon rate of approximately 3.36%, an average duration of approximately 5.13 years, and an average maturity of approximately 7.60 years. The equity securities are generally held in funds that are designed to approximate or somewhat exceed the return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. A relatively small percentage of the securities are held in funds intended to replicate the return of the Wilshire 4500 Index or the Russell 3000 Index.

The fair value and gross unrealized losses of available-for-sale equity and debt securities, summarized by investment type and length of time that the securities have been in a continuous loss position, are as follows as of March 31, 2014:

Other-than-temporary impairments and unrealized gains and losses

Entergy, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, Entergy Louisiana, and System Energy evaluate unrealized losses at the end of each period to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The assessment of whether an investment in a debt security has suffered an other-than-temporary impairment is based on whether Entergy has the intent to sell or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized costs. Further, if Entergy does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the debt security, an other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred and it is measured by the present value of cash flows expected to be collected less the amortized cost basis (credit loss). Entergy did not have any material other-than-temporary impairments relating to credit losses on debt securities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The assessment of whether an investment in an equity security has suffered an other-than-temporary impairment continues to be based on a number of factors including, first, whether Entergy has the ability and intent to hold the investment to recover its value, the duration and severity of any losses, and, then, whether it is expected that the investment will recover its value within a reasonable period of time. Entergy’s trusts are managed by third parties who operate in accordance with agreements that define investment guidelines and place restrictions on the purchases and sales of investments. Entergy did not record material charges to other income in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, resulting from the recognition of the other-than-temporary impairment of certain equity securities held in its decommissioning trust funds.

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

See Income Tax Litigation, Income Tax Audits, and Other Tax Matters in Note 3 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of income tax proceedings, income tax audits, and other income tax matters involving Entergy. Following is an update to that disclosure.

On March 31, 2014, New York enacted budget legislation that substantially modifies various aspects of New York tax law. The most significant effect of the legislation on Entergy is the adoption of full water’s-edge unitary combined reporting, meaning that all of Entergy’s domestic entities will be included in New York’s combined filing group. The effect of the tax law change resulted in a deferred state income tax reduction of approximately $21.5 million.

Construction expenditures included in accounts payable at December 31, 2013 are $166 million for Entergy, $61.9 million for Entergy Arkansas, $13.1 million for Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, $31.1 million for Entergy Louisiana, $2.8 million for Entergy Mississippi, $1.7 million for Entergy New Orleans, $10.9 million for Entergy Texas, and $6.7 million for System Energy.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

See “Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” in Note 1 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of the periodic reviews that Entergy performs whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recoverability of long-lived assets is uncertain. Following are updates to that discussion regarding the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant.

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in December 2013, Entergy and Vermont entered into a settlement agreement, with an accompanying memorandum of understanding that was filed with the Vermont Public Service Board (VPSB), under which Vermont agreed to support Entergy’s request to operate Vermont Yankee until the end of 2014. The settlement agreement provided for Entergy to make $10 million in economic transition payments, $5 million in clean energy development support, and a transitional $5 million payment to Vermont. Entergy will also set aside a new $25 million fund to ensure the Vermont Yankee site is restored after decommissioning. These terms were contingent upon the VPSB issuing by March 31, 2014 a Certificate of Public Good authorizing Vermont Yankee’s operation through 2014, and otherwise conforming to the terms of the settlement agreement. The settlement agreement also provides for the dismissal or discontinuation of other litigation between Entergy and Vermont; in the case of Entergy’s appeal of the VPSB’s March and November 2012 orders, such dismissal is contingent upon the VPSB’s issuance of such a Certificate of Public Good. On March 28, 2014, the VPSB approved the memorandum of understanding and issued a Certificate of Public Good authorizing Vermont Yankee to operate until December 31, 2014. In May 2014 the VPSB denied a motion that had been filed by one of the intervenors to amend its approval order.

Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2014, evaluations were performed under the supervision and with the participation of Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy (individually “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 Controls over Financial Reporting

Under the supervision and with the participation of each Registrants’ 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, 2014 and found no change that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

ENTERGY ARKANSAS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

Net Income

Net income increased by $13.7 million primarily due to higher net revenue, lower other operation and maintenance expenses, lower nuclear refueling outage expenses, and a lower effective income tax rate.

Net Revenue

Net revenue consists of operating revenues net of: 1) fuel, fuel-related expenses, and gas purchased for resale, 2) purchased power expenses, and 3) other regulatory credits. Following is an analysis of the change in net revenue comparing the first quarter 2014 to the first quarter 2013:



	Amount
	(In Millions)

2013 net revenue		$288.9
Volume/weather	8.4
Retail electric price	6.9
Reserve equalization	4.9
Net wholesale revenue	(7.9		)
Other	3.2
2014 net revenue		$304.4

The volume/weather variance is primarily due to an increase of 452 GWh, or 9%, in billed electricity usage primarily in the residential and commercial sectors due to the effect of more favorable weather as compared to the same period in prior year, partially offset by a decrease in industrial usage primarily in the petroleum refining industry and the pulp and paper industry.

The retail electric price variance is primarily due to an increase in the energy efficiency rider, as approved by the APSC, effective July 2013. Energy efficiency revenues are largely offset by costs included in other operation and maintenance expenses and have minimal effect on net income. This increase was partially offset by the effect of the APSC’s order in the 2013 rate case, including a MISO rider to provide customers credits in rates for transmission revenue received through MISO offset by an annual base rate increase effective January 2014. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for further discussion of the rate case.

The reserve equalization variance is primarily due to the absence of reserve equalization expenses as compared to the same period in 2013 resulting from Entergy Arkansas’s exit from the System Agreement.

The net wholesale variance is primarily due to lower margins on co-owner contracts.

Entergy Arkansas, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Gross operating revenues and fuel and purchased power expenses

Gross operating revenues decreased primarily due to:


•	a decrease of $29.7 million in rider revenues due to the absence of System Agreement production cost equalization revenue as compared to the same period in 2013. These revenues are offset in deferred fuel expenses. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for a discussion of the FERC orders in the System Agreement production cost equalization proceedings;


•	a decrease of $19.6 million in gross wholesale revenues due to decreased sales to municipal customers and affiliated customers as a result of contract changes, partially offset by higher wholesale revenue due to higher average price; and


•	a decrease of $18.8 million in fuel cost recovery revenues as a result of lower fuel rates.

The decrease was partially offset by:


•	the increase in volume/weather, as discussed above;


•	an increase of $7.8 million in rider revenues due to increases in the energy efficiency rider effective July 2013, as discussed above; and


•	an increase of $5.4 million in rider revenues primarily due to an increase in the Grand Gulf rate effective January 2014.

Fuel and purchased power expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in the recovery from customers of deferred fuel costs due to lower fuel rates and System Agreement production cost equalization payments in 2013. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the average market prices of natural gas and purchased power.

Other Income Statement Variances

Nuclear refueling outage expenses decreased primarily due to deferring the start of the ANO 2 spring 2014 outage.

Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased primarily due to:

•

a decrease of $6 million in compensation and benefits costs primarily due to an increase in the discount rates used to determine net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs, other postretirement benefit plan design changes, and headcount reductions. See "MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – Critical Accounting Estimates" in the Form 10-K and Note 6 to the financial statements herein for further discussion of benefits costs;


•	a decrease of $4.3 million related to a true-up to the 2013 energy efficiency filing for fixed costs to be collected from customers in 2014; and


•	a decrease of $3.4 million in fossil-fueled generation expenses primarily due to lower plant outage costs in 2014.

The decrease was partially offset by:


•	an increase of $6.2 million in energy efficiency costs. These costs are recovered through the energy efficiency rider and have a minimal effect on net income;


•	an increase of $3.4 million primarily due to an increase in storm damage accruals effective January 2014, as approved by the APSC; and


•	an increase of $1.8 million due to administration fees in 2014 related to participation in the MISO RTO.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 42.8% for the first quarter 2014. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2014 versus the federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily due to state income taxes and certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items.

The effective income tax rate was 48.1% for the first quarter 2013. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2013 versus the federal statutory rate of 35% was due to state income taxes, certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items, and the provision for uncertain tax positions, partially offset by book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction.

ANO Damage and Outage

See "MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - ANO Damage and Outage" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of the ANO stator incident. The total cost of assessment, restoration of off-site power, site restoration, debris removal, and replacement of damaged property and equipment was $95 million as of March 31, 2014. In addition, Entergy Arkansas incurred replacement power costs for ANO 2 power during its outage and incurred incremental replacement power costs for ANO 1 power because the outage extended beyond the originally-planned duration of the refueling outage. In February 2014, the APSC approved Entergy Arkansas’s request to exclude from the calculation of its revised energy cost rate $65.9 million of deferred fuel and purchased energy costs incurred in 2013 as a result of the ANO stator incident. The APSC authorized Entergy Arkansas to retain the $65.9 million in its deferred fuel balance with recovery to be reviewed in a later period after more information regarding various claims associated with the ANO stator incident is available. Entergy Arkansas is assessing its options for recovering damages that resulted from the stator drop, including its insurance coverage and legal action. Entergy is a member of Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL), a mutual insurance company that provides property damage coverage to the members’ nuclear generating plants, including ANO. NEIL has notified Entergy that it believes that a $50 million course of construction sublimit applies to any loss associated with the lifting apparatus failure and stator drop at ANO. Entergy has responded that it disagrees with NEIL’s position and is evaluating its options for enforcing its rights under the policy. On July 12, 2013, Entergy Arkansas filed a complaint in the Circuit Court in Pope County, Arkansas against the owner of the heavy-lifting apparatus that collapsed, an engineering firm, a general contractor, and certain individuals asserting claims of breach of contract, negligence, and gross negligence in connection with their responsibility for the stator drop. During the first quarter of 2014, Entergy Arkansas collected $33 million from NEIL and is pursuing additional recoveries due under the policy.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Operating Activities

Net cash flow provided by operating activities decreased $92.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to:


•	a decrease in the recovery of fuel and purchased power costs; and


•	$13.7 million in pension contributions in 2014. See "MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – Critical Accounting Estimates" in the Form 10-K and Note 6 to the financial statements herein for a discussion of qualified pension and other postretirement benefits funding.

The decrease was partially offset by:


•	$8.8 million in insurance proceeds received in the first quarter 2014 for property damages related to the generator stator incident at ANO, as discussed above; and


•	a decrease of $6.4 million in interest paid in 2014 as compared to the same period in prior year.

Investing Activities

Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $10 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to:


•	an increase in transmission construction expenditures due to higher reliability work performed in 2014; and


•	fluctuations in nuclear fuel activity because of variations from year to year in the timing and pricing of fuel reload requirements in the Utility business, material and services deliveries, and the timing of cash payments during the nuclear fuel cycle.

The increase was partially offset by:


•	$24.2 million in insurance proceeds received in the first quarter 2014 for property damages related to the generator stator incident at ANO, as discussed above;


•	a decrease in nuclear construction expenditures due to higher scope of various nuclear projects in 2013; 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 by $29.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to increasing by $33.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The money pool is an inter-company borrowing arrangement designed to reduce the Utility subsidiaries’ need for external short-term borrowings.

Financing Activities

Entergy Arkansas’s financing activities provided $182.8 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to using $33.1 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to:


•	the issuance of $375 million of 3.70% Series first mortgage bonds in March 2014;


•	the net borrowings of $62.5 million on the Entergy Arkansas nuclear fuel company variable interest entity credit facility in 2014 compared to net repayments of $15.4 million in 2013; and


•	common stock dividends of $15 million paid in 2013.

The increase was partially offset by the repayment, prior to maturity, of a $250 million term loan in March 2014.

See Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K and Note 4 to the financial statements herein for more details on long-term debt.

Entergy Arkansas, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Capital Structure

Entergy Arkansas’s capitalization is balanced between equity and debt, as shown in the following table. The increase in the debt to capital ratio for Entergy Arkansas as of March 31, 2014 is primarily due to an increase in long-term debt as a result of the issuance of $375 million of 3.70% Series first mortgage bonds in March 2014, partially offset by repayment of Entergy Arkansas’s $250 million term loan.



	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Debt to capital	58.2	%	56.7	%
Effect of excluding the securitization bonds	(0.9	%)	(0.9	%)
Debt to capital, excluding securitization bonds (a)	57.3	%	55.8	%
Effect of subtracting cash	(2.2	%)	(1.4	%)
Net debt to net capital, excluding securitization bonds (a)	55.1	%	54.4	%


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

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, preferred stock without sinking fund, and common equity. Net capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. Entergy Arkansas 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 Arkansas’s financial condition because the securitization bonds are non-recourse to Entergy Arkansas, as more fully described in Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K. Entergy Arkansas 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 Arkansas’s financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy Arkansas’s outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.

Uses and Sources of Capital

See "MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - Liquidity and Capital Resources" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of Entergy Arkansas’s uses and sources of capital. Following are updates to the information provided in the Form 10-K.

Entergy Arkansas’s receivables from the money pool were as follows:

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

Entergy Arkansas has a credit facility in the amount of $150 million scheduled to expire in March 2019. In April 2014, Entergy Arkansas renewed its $20 million credit facility through April 2015.

ENTERGY GULF STATES LOUISIANA, L.L.C.

MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

Net Income

Net income increased $19.3 million primarily due to higher net revenue.

Net Revenue

Net revenue consists of operating revenues net of: 1) fuel, fuel-related expenses, and gas purchased for resale, 2) purchased power expenses, and 3) other regulatory charges (credits). Following is an analysis of the change in net revenue comparing the first quarter 2014 to the first quarter 2013:



	Amount
	(In Millions)
2013 net revenue		$209.6
Volume/weather	20.4
Retail electric price	2.8
Net gas revenue	1.9
Other	3.6
2014 net revenue		$238.3

The volume/weather variance is primarily due to an increase of 494 GWh, or 11%, in billed electricity usage, including the effect of more favorable weather on residential and commercial sales. The increase was also driven by higher industrial usage primarily in the chemicals industry.

The retail electric price variance is primarily due to an increase in affiliate purchased power capacity costs that are recovered through base rates set in the annual formula rate plan mechanism. Entergy Gulf States Louisiana’s formula rate plan is discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K.

The net gas revenue variance is primarily due to the effect of more favorable weather primarily in the residential and commercial sectors as compared to the same period in prior year.

Gross operating revenues, fuel and purchased power expenses, and other regulatory charges (credits)

Gross operating revenues increased primarily due to:


•	an increase of $43.8 million in fuel cost recovery revenues primarily due to higher fuel rates;


•	the increase related to volume/weather, as discussed above;


•	an increase of $16.9 million in gross wholesale revenues primarily due to sales in the MISO market and an increase in sales to affiliated customers; and


•	an increase of $11.1 million in natural gas fuel cost recovery revenues primarily due to higher fuel rates.

See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for additional discussion of Entergy Gulf States Louisiana’s fuel and purchased power recovery mechanism.

Table of Contents

Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Fuel and purchased power expenses increased primarily due to an increase in the average market price of purchased power and increased demand.

Other regulatory credits increased primarily due to the deferral, as approved by the LPSC, of non-fuel MISO-related charges. The deferral of non-fuel MISO-related charges is partially offset in operation and maintenance expenses. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for further discussion of the recovery of non-fuel MISO-related charges.

Other Income Statement Variances

Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased primarily due to:

•

a decrease of $3 million in compensation and benefits costs primarily due an increase in the discount rates used to determine net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs, other postretirement benefit plan design changes, and headcount reductions. See "MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – Critical Accounting Estimates" in the Form 10-K and Note 6 to the financial statements herein for further discussion of benefits costs;


•	a decrease of $2.4 million in nuclear generation expenses primarily due to lower nuclear labor costs; and


•	a decrease of $1.8 million in fossil-fueled generation expenses primarily due to a reduced scope of work done during plant outages as compared to the prior year.

The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $1.7 million due to administration fees in 2014 related to participation in the MISO RTO.

Taxes other than income taxes increased primarily due to an increase in local franchise taxes resulting from higher residential and commercial revenues as compared to the prior year. Franchise taxes have no effect on net income as these taxes are recovered through the franchise tax rider.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 36.4% for the first quarter 2014. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2014 versus the federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily due to state income taxes and the provision for uncertain tax positions, partially offset by book and tax differences related to the non-taxable income distributions earned on preferred membership interests.

The effective income tax rate was 36% for the first quarter 2013. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2013 versus the federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily due to the provision for uncertain tax positions and state income taxes, partially offset by book and tax differences related to the non-taxable income distributions earned on preferred membership interests.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow

Cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:



	2014			2013
	(In Thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period		$15,581			$35,686
Cash flow provided by (used in):
Operating activities	76,528			86,639
Investing activities	(28,782		)	(119,776		)
Financing activities	(48,168		)	1,360
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	(422		)	(31,777		)
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period		$15,159			$3,909

Operating Activities

Net cash flow provided by operating activities decreased $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to:


•	a decrease in the recovery of fuel and purchased power costs;


•	the timing of payments to vendors; and


•	$4.4 million in pension contributions in 2014. See "MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - Critical Accounting Estimates" in the Form 10-K and Note 6 to the financial statements herein for a discussion of qualified pension and other postretirement benefits funding.

The decrease was partially offset by lower nuclear refueling outage spending at River Bend. River Bend had a refueling outage in 2013 and did not have one in 2014.

Investing Activities

Net cash flow used in investing activities decreased $91 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to fluctuations in nuclear fuel activity because of variations from year to year in the timing and pricing of fuel reload requirements in the Utility business, material and services deliveries, and the timing of cash payments during the nuclear fuel cycle, partially offset by the withdrawal of $65.5 million from the storm reserve escrow account in 2013.

Financing Activities

Entergy Gulf States Louisiana’s financing activities used $48.2 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to providing $1.4 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to:


•	the issuance of $70 million of 3.38% Series R notes by the nuclear fuel company variable interest entity in February 2013;


•	payments of $14.5 million on credit borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to an increase of $50 million in credit borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2013 against the nuclear fuel company variable interest entity credit facility; and


•	a decrease of $86.6 million in common equity distributions.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

See Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K and Note 4 to the financial statements herein for more details on long-term debt.

Capital Structure

Entergy Gulf States Louisiana’s capitalization is balanced between equity and debt, as shown in the following table.



	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Debt to capital	50.7	%	51.1	%
Effect of subtracting cash	(0.3	%)	(0.2	%)
Net debt to net capital	50.4	%	50.9	%

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 equity. Net capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. Entergy Gulf States 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 Gulf States Louisiana’s financial condition. Entergy Gulf States Louisiana 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 Gulf States Louisiana’s financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy Gulf States Louisiana’s outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.

ENTERGY LOUISIANA, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

Net Income

Net income increased $13 million primarily due to higher net revenue and higher other income, partially offset by higher other operation and maintenance expenses, higher depreciation and amortization expenses, higher interest expense, and higher nuclear refueling outage expenses.

Net Revenue



	Amount
	(In Millions)
2013 net revenue		$260.6
Volume/weather	17.5
MISO deferral	4.2
Retail electric price	2.5
Other	6.4
2014 net revenue		$291.2

The volume/weather variance is primarily due to an increase of 499 GWh, or 15%, in billed electricity usage in the residential and commercial sectors due to the effect more favorable weather as compared to the same period in prior year, partially offset by a decrease in industrial usage primarily in the chemicals industry.

The MISO deferral variance is due to the deferral, as approved by the LPSC, of the non-fuel MISO-related charges. The deferral of non-fuel MISO-related charges is partially offset in other operation and maintenance expenses. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for further discussion of the recovery of non-fuel MISO-related charges.

The retail electric price variance is primarily due to an increase in affiliate purchased power capacity costs that are recovered through base rates set in the annual formula rate plan mechanism. Entergy Louisiana’s formula rate plan is discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K.

Gross operating revenues and fuel and purchased power expenses

Gross operating revenues increased primarily due to an increase of $56.7 million in gross wholesale revenues as a result of increased sales to affiliate customers and the increase related to volume/weather, as discussed above. The increase was substantially offset by a decrease of $58.7 million in fuel cost recovery revenues primarily due to lower fuel rates.

Fuel and purchased power expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in the recovery from customers of deferred fuel costs resulting from higher fuel and purchased power costs and lower fuel rates, partially offset by an

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

increase in the average market prices of natural gas and purchased power and an increase in demand for gas-fired generation.

Other Income Statement Variances

Nuclear refueling outage expenses increased primarily due to the amortization of higher expenses associated with the most recent refueling outage at Waterford 3.

Other operation and maintenance expenses increased primarily due to:


•	an increase of $2.6 million due to administration fees in 2014 related to the participation in MISO RTO;


•	an increase of $2.1 million in nuclear generation expenses primarily due to higher labor costs; and


•	an increase of $1.9 million in fossil-fueled generation expenses primarily due to an overall higher scope of work done as compared to prior year.

The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $2.6 million in compensation and benefits costs primarily due to an increase in the discount rates used to determine net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs, other postretirement benefit plan design changes, and headcount reductions. See "MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – Critical Accounting Estimates" in the Form 10-K and Note 6 to the financial statements herein for further discussion of benefits costs.

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

Other income increased primarily due to the increase in allowance for equity funds used during construction due to more construction work in progress in 2014.

Interest expense increased primarily due to the issuance of $325 million of 4.05% Series first mortgage bonds in August 2013 and the issuance of $100 million of 4.70% Series first mortgage bonds in May 2013.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 25.8% for the first quarter 2014. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2014 versus the federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily due to book and tax differences related to the non-taxable income distributions earned on preferred membership interests and book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction, partially offset by state income taxes.

The effective income tax rate was 21% for the first quarter 2013. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2013 versus the federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily due to book and tax differences related to the non-taxable income distributions earned on preferred membership interests and book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow

Cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:



	2014			2013
	(In Thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period		$124,007			$30,086
Cash flow provided by (used in):
Operating activities	100,930			69,934
Investing activities	(158,927		)	(55,482		)
Financing activities	6,366			(34,525		)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	(51,631		)	(20,073		)
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period		$72,376			$10,013

Operating Activities

Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $31 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to the timing of collections from customers and payments to vendors and Hurricane Isaac storm spending of $8.4 million in 2013. The increase was partially offset by:


•	decreased recovery of fuel costs due to a decrease in the amount of deferred fuel to be recovered compared to last year;


•	an increase of $7.9 million in interest paid resulting from an increase in interest expense, as discussed above; and


•	$7.8 million in pension contributions in 2014. See “MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – Critical Accounting Estimates” in the Form 10-K and Note 6 to the financial statements herein for a discussion of qualified pension and other postretirement benefits funding.

Investing Activities

Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $103.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to receipts of $187 million from the storm reserve escrow account in 2013 and an increase in nuclear fuel activity because of variations from year to year in the timing and pricing of fuel reload requirements in the Utility business, material and services deliveries, and the timing of cash payments during the nuclear fuel cycle. The increase was partially offset by:


•	a decrease in fossil-fueled generation construction expenditures due to decreased spending on the Ninemile Unit 6 self-rebuild project;


•	a decrease in nuclear construction expenditures due to the Waterford 3 steam generator project close out in the first quarter 2013; and


•	money pool activity.

Decreases in Entergy Louisiana’s receivable from the money pool are a source of cash flow, and Entergy Louisiana’s receivable from the money pool decreased by $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to increasing by $22.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The money pool is an inter-company borrowing arrangement designed to reduce the Utility subsidiaries’ need for external short-term borrowings.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Financing Activities

Entergy Louisiana’s financing activities provided $6.4 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to using $34.5 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to the issuance of $40 million of 3.92% Series H Notes by the nuclear fuel company variable interest entity in February 2014 and an increase in borrowings of $28.8 million on the nuclear fuel company variable interest entity’s credit facility in 2014, partially offset by an increase of $23.4 million in common equity distributions in 2014. See Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K and Note 4 to the financial statements herein for more details on long-term debt.

Capital Structure

Entergy Louisiana’s capitalization is balanced between equity and debt, as shown in the following table.



	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Debt to capital	52.3	%	52.0	%
Effect of excluding securitization bonds	(1.3	%)	(1.3	%)
Debt to capital, excluding securitization bonds (a)	51.0	%	50.7	%
Effect of subtracting cash	(0.6	%)	(1.1	%)
Net debt to net capital, excluding securitization bonds (a)	50.4	%	49.6	%


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

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, preferred stock without sinking fund, and common 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. Entergy Louisiana 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.

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. Following are updates to the information provided in the Form 10-K.

Entergy Louisiana’s receivables from the money pool were as follows:

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

Entergy Louisiana has a credit facility in the amount of $200 million scheduled to expire in March 2019. The credit facility allows Entergy Louisiana to issue letters of credit against 50% of the borrowing capacity of the facility. As of March 31, 2014, there were no cash borrowings and $23 million of letters of credit outstanding under the credit facility. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the credit facility.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

The Entergy Louisiana nuclear fuel company variable interest entity has a credit facility in the amount of $90 million scheduled to expire in June 2016. As of March 31, 2014, $31.7 million in letters of credit were outstanding under the credit facility to support a like amount of commercial paper issued by the Entergy Louisiana 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 facility.

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 is an update to that discussion.

Filings with the City Council

In March 2013, Entergy Louisiana filed a rate case for the Algiers area, which is in New Orleans and is regulated

by the City Council. Entergy Louisiana is requesting a rate increase of $13 million over three years, including a 10.4%

return on common equity and a formula rate plan mechanism identical to its LPSC request made in February 2013. In January 2014, the City Council Advisors filed direct testimony recommending a rate increase of $5.56 million over three years, including an 8.13% return on common equity. New rates are currently expected to become effective in second quarter 2014. The procedural schedule calls for the hearing on the merits to commence on May 20, 2014.

Federal Regulation

Nuclear Matters

MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

Net Income

Net income increased $11.9 million primarily due to higher net revenue.

Net Revenue



	Amount
	(In Millions)
2013 net revenue		$141.6
Retail electric price	14.4
Volume/weather	4.3
Other	2.6
2014 net revenue		$162.9

The retail electric price variance is primarily due to a formula rate plan increase, as approved by the MPSC, effective September 2013 and an increase in the storm damage rider, as approved by the MPSC, effective October 2013. The increase in the storm damage rider is offset by other operation and maintenance expenses and has no effect on net income. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for a discussion of rate proceedings.

The volume/weather variance is primarily due to an increase of 256 GWh, or 8%, in billed electricity usage, including the effect of more favorable weather on residential and commercial sales.

Gross operating revenues, fuel and purchased power expenses, and other regulatory credits

Gross operating revenues increased primarily due to:


•	an increase of $15.1 million in fuel cost recovery revenues primarily due to higher fuel rates;


•	an increase of $10.3 million in gross wholesale revenues due to an increase in sales to affiliated customers;


•	the increase related to volume/weather, as discussed above;


•	an increase of $9.4 million in power management rider revenue, as approved by the MPSC, effective February 2014; and


•	an increase of $8.3 million due to the formula rate plan increase, as discussed above.

Fuel and purchased power expenses increased primarily due to an increase in purchases as a result of the Grand Gulf refueling outage in first quarter 2014 and an increase in the average market prices of natural gas and purchased power. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in deferred fuel expenses primarily due to increased fuel and purchased power costs.

106

Table of Contents

Entergy Mississippi, Inc.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Other regulatory credits decreased primarily due to increased recovery of costs associated with the power management recovery rider. There is no material effect on net income because the power management recovery rider is an exact recovery rider and any differences in revenues and expenses are deferred for future recovery.

Other Income Statement Variances

Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease of $4.9 million in fossil-fueled generation expenses resulting from a lower scope of work done during plant outages in 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013 and a decrease of $1.3 million in compensation and benefits costs primarily due to an increase in the discount rates used to determine net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs, other postretirement benefit plan design changes, and headcount reductions. See "MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – Critical Accounting Estimates" in the Form 10-K and Note 6 to the financial statements herein for further discussion of benefits costs. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $3.5 million in storm damage accruals, as approved by the MPSC, effective October 2013.

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

Taxes other than income taxes increased primarily due to an increase in ad valorem taxes in 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year and an increase in local franchise taxes due to higher revenues in 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 39.7% for the first quarter 2014. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2014 versus the federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily due to state income taxes and certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items.

The effective income tax rate was 37.5% for the first quarter 2013. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2013 versus the federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily due to state income taxes and certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items, partially offset by book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow

Cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:



	2014			2013
	(In Thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period		$31			$52,970
Cash flow provided by (used in):
Operating activities	26,181			4,659
Investing activities	(49,870		)	(22,123		)
Financing activities	94,994			(34,044		)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	71,305			(51,508		)
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period		$71,336			$1,462

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $21.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to income tax refunds of $9.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to income tax payments of $0.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the timing of payments to vendors. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in the recovery of fuel costs and $3.1 million in pension contributions in 2014. The income tax refunds in 2014 were refunds of income taxes paid in accordance with intercompany state income tax sharing arrangements. See "MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – Critical Accounting Estimates" in the Form 10-K and Note 6 to the financial statements herein for a discussion of qualified pension and other postretirement benefits funding.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased $27.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to money pool activity, partially offset by a decrease in transmission construction expenditures as a result of less reliability work performed in 2014.

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 by $15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and decreased by $16.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The money pool is an inter-company borrowing arrangement designed to reduce the Utility subsidiaries’ need for external short-term borrowings.

Financing Activities

Entergy Mississippi’s financing activities provided $95.0 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to using $34.0 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to the payment, at maturity, of $100 million of 5.15% Series first mortgage bonds in February 2013 and the issuance of $100 million of 3.75% Series first mortgage bonds in March 2014, partially offset by borrowings of $70 million on Entergy Mississippi’s credit facilities in the three months ended March 31, 2013. See Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K and Note 4 to the financial statements herein for more details on long-term debt.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Capital Structure

Entergy Mississippi’s capitalization is balanced between equity and debt, as shown in the following table.



	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Debt to capital	53.0	%	51.4%
Effect of subtracting cash	(1.6	%)	—%
Net debt to net capital	51.4	%	51.4%

Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of short-term borrowings, capital lease obligations, and long-term debt, including the currently maturing portion. Capital consists of debt, preferred stock without sinking fund, and common 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. Entergy Mississippi uses the net debt to net capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy Mississippi’s financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy Mississippi’s outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.

Uses and Sources of Capital

See "MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - Liquidity and Capital Resources" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of Entergy Mississippi’s uses and sources of capital. Following are updates to the information provided in the Form 10-K.

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

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

Entergy Mississippi has three separate credit facilities in the aggregate amount of $92.5 million scheduled to expire in May 2014. Entergy Mississippi expects to renew all of its credit facilities before expiration. No borrowings were outstanding under the credit facilities as of March 31, 2014. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the credit facilities. In addition, Entergy Mississippi entered into an uncommitted letter of credit facility as a means to post collateral to support its obligations under MISO. As of March 31, 2014, a $25 million letter of credit was outstanding under Entergy Mississippi’s letter of credit facility.

MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

Net Income

Net income increased $7 million primarily due to higher net revenue and lower other operation and maintenance expenses.

Net Revenue

Net revenue consists of operating revenues net of: 1) fuel, fuel-related expenses, and gas purchased for resale, 2) purchased power expenses, and 3) other regulatory charges. Following is an analysis of the changes in net revenue comparing the first quarter 2014 to the first quarter 2013:



	Amount
	(In Millions)
2013 net revenue		$57.2
Volume/weather	4.4
Net gas revenue	3.6
Other	0.8
2014 net revenue		$66.0

The volume/weather variance is primarily due to an increase of 126 GWh, or 11%, in billed electricity usage, primarily in the residential sector, due to the effect of more favorable weather in 2014 as compared to the same period in prior year.

The net gas revenue variance is primarily due to the effect of more favorable weather primarily in the residential and commercial sectors in 2014 as compared to the same period in prior year.

Gross operating revenues and fuel and purchased power expenses

Gross operating revenues increased primarily due to:


•	an increase of $17 million in gross wholesale revenue primarily due to increased sales to affiliate customers;


•	an increase of $10 million in gas fuel cost recovery revenues due to higher fuel rates;


•	the increase related to volume/weather, as discussed above; and


•	an increase of $4.1 million in electric fuel cost recovery revenues due to an increase in volume.

Entergy New Orleans’s fuel and purchased power recovery mechanism is discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K.

Fuel and purchased power expenses increased primarily due to an increase in the market prices of natural gas and purchased power and an increase in gas purchased for resale as a result of an increase in price and volume, partially offset by a decrease in deferred fuel expense as a result of higher fuel costs.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Other Income Statement Variances

Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease of $2.5 million in fossil-fueled generation expenses due to an overall lower scope of work done during plant outages as compared to prior year.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 31.6% for the first quarter 2014. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2014 versus the federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily due to flow-through tax accounting, partially offset by state income taxes and certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items.

The effective income tax rate was (26.9%) for the first quarter 2013. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2013 versus the federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily due to flow-through tax accounting, partially offset by certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items and state income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow

Cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:



	2014			2013
	(In Thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period		$33,489			$9,391
Cash flow provided by (used in):
Operating activities	7,451			2,344
Investing activities	(14,794		)	(31,945		)
Financing activities	(260		)	24,781
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	(7,603		)	(4,820		)
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period		$25,886			$4,571

Operating Activities

Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to the timing of payments to vendors, partially offset by $1.5 million in pension contributions in 2014. See “MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – Critical Accounting Estimates” in the Form 10-K and Note 6 to the financial statements herein for a discussion of qualified pension and other postretirement benefits funding.

Investing Activities

Net cash flow used in investing activities decreased $17.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to:


•	money pool activity;


•	a decrease in fossil-fueled generation construction expenditures due to spending in 2013 on various projects; and


•	a decrease in transmission construction expenditures as a result of less reliability work performed in 2014.

Increases in Entergy New Orleans’s receivable from the money pool are a use of cash flow, and Entergy New Orleans’s receivable from the money pool increased $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

to increasing $11.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The money pool is an inter-company borrowing arrangement designed to reduce the Utility subsidiaries’ need for external short-term borrowings.

Financing Activities

Entergy New Orleans’s financing activities used $0.3 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to providing $24.8 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to borrowings of $25 million under Entergy New Orleans’s credit facility in 2013. See Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K and Note 4 to the financial statements herein for more details on long-term debt.

Capital Structure

Entergy New Orleans’s capitalization is balanced between equity and debt, as shown in the following table.



	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Debt to capital	49.1	%	50.0	%
Effect of subtracting cash	(3.0	%)	(4.0	%)
Net debt to net capital	46.1	%	46.0	%

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, preferred stock without sinking fund, and common 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. Entergy New Orleans 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.

ENTERGY TEXAS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

Net Income

Net income increased $12.2 million primarily due to higher net revenue and lower other operation and maintenance expenses, partially offset by higher taxes other than income taxes.

Net Revenue

Net revenue consists of operating revenues net of: 1) fuel, fuel-related expenses, and gas purchased for resale, 2) purchased power expenses, and 3) other regulatory charges. Following is an analysis of the change in net revenue comparing the first quarter 2014 to the first quarter 2013:



	Amount
	(In Millions)
2013 net revenue		$120.8
Volume/weather	14.0
Purchased power capacity	9.7
Net wholesale revenue	(6.9		)
Reserve equalization	(4.6		)
Other	2.3
2014 net revenue		$135.3

The volume/weather variance is primarily due to an increase of 638 GWh, or 17%, in billed electricity usage, including the effect of favorable weather on residential sales and increased industrial usage primarily in the chemicals and petroleum industries.

The purchased power capacity variance is primarily due to a decrease in expenses due to contract changes.

The net wholesale revenue variance is primarily due to contract changes for municipals and co-op customers.

The reserve equalization variance is primarily due to increased reserve equalization expense as a result of the changes in the Entergy System generation mix compared to the same period in 2013.

Gross operating revenues and fuel and purchased power expenses

Gross operating revenues increased primarily due to an increase of $113.3 million in fuel cost recovery revenues primarily due to higher fuel rates and the increase related to volume/weather, as discussed above.

Fuel and purchased power expenses increased primarily due to an increase in the average market prices of natural gas and purchased power and an increase in deferred fuel expenses due to interim fuel refunds in 2013, partially offset by a decrease in recovery of fuel costs.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Other Income Statement Variances

Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased primarily due to:


•	a decrease of $2.5 million in fossil-fueled generation expenses resulting from an overall lower scope of work done compared to prior year; and

•

a decrease of $1.8 million in compensation and benefits costs primarily due to an increase in the discount rates used to determine net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs, other postretirement benefit plan design changes, and headcount reductions. See "MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – Critical Accounting Estimates" in the Form 10-K and Note 6 to the financial statements herein for further discussion of benefits costs.

Taxes other than income taxes increased primarily due to a reduction in the provision recorded for sales and use taxes in the first quarter 2013.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 39.2% for the first quarter 2014. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2014 versus the federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily due to certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items and state income taxes.

The effective income tax rate was 76.4% for the first quarter 2013. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2013 versus the federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily due to certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items and state income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow

Cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:



	2014			2013
	(In Thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period		$46,488			$60,236
Cash flow used in:
Operating activities	(1,319		)	(25,061		)

Operating Activities

Net cash flow used in operating activities decreased $23.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to:


•	$86.1 million of fuel cost refunds in the first quarter 2013. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the fuel cost refunds; and


•	$9.5 million of System Agreement bandwidth remedy payments credited to Entergy Texas customers in the first quarter 2013. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for a discussion of the System Agreement proceedings.

Table of Contents

Entergy Texas, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

The decrease was offset by the timing of collections of receivables from customers and a decrease in recovery of fuel costs.

Investing Activities

Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to money pool activity, partially offset by lower fossil-fueled generation construction expenditures due to a greater scope of projects in 2013.

Decreases in Entergy Texas’s receivable from the money pool are a source of cash flow, and Entergy Texas’s receivable from the money pool decreased by $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to decreasing by $19.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The money pool is an inter-company borrowing arrangement designed to reduce Entergy’s subsidiaries’ need for external short-term borrowings.

Financing Activities

Net cash flow used in financing activities increased $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to $40 million in common stock dividends paid in 2014, offset by money pool activity.

Increases in Entergy Texas’s payable to the money pool are a source of cash flow, and Entergy Texas’s payable to the money pool increased by $39.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to increasing by $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Capital Structure

Entergy Texas’s capitalization is balanced between equity and debt, as shown in the following table.



	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Debt to capital	64.1	%	63.7	%
Effect of excluding the securitization bonds	(12.2	%)	(12.6	%)
Debt to capital, excluding securitization bonds (a)	51.9	%	51.1	%
Effect of subtracting cash	(0.1	%)	(1.3	%)
Net debt to net capital, excluding securitization bonds (a)	51.8	%	49.8	%


(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 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. 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.

SYSTEM ENERGY RESOURCES, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

System Energy’s principal asset currently consists of an ownership interest and a leasehold interest in Grand Gulf. The capacity and energy from its 90% interest is sold under the Unit Power Sales Agreement to its only four customers, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, and Entergy New Orleans. System Energy’s operating revenues are derived from the allocation of the capacity, energy, and related costs associated with its 90% interest in Grand Gulf pursuant to the Unit Power Sales Agreement. Payments under the Unit Power Sales Agreement are System Energy’s only source of operating revenues.

Net income decreased $3.4 million primarily due to lower operating revenue resulting from lower rate base, partially offset by higher other income. Other income increased primarily due to higher realized gains on decommissioning trust fund investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow

Cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:



	2014			2013
	(In Thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period		$127,142			$83,622

Cash flow provided by (used in):
Operating activities	85,670			94,178
Investing activities	(119,532		)	(49,239		)
Financing activities	(9,075		)	(111,456		)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	(42,937		)	(66,517		)

Cash and cash equivalents at end of period		$84,205			$17,105

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to $3.1 million in pension contributions in 2014 and spending on the Grand Gulf refueling outage in 2014. The increase was offset by the timing of payments to vendors. See "MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – Critical Accounting Estimates" in the Form 10-K and Note 6 to the financial statements herein for a discussion of qualified pension and other postretirement benefits.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased $70.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to fluctuations in nuclear fuel activity because of variations from year to year in the timing and pricing of fuel reload requirements in the Utility business, material and

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

services deliveries, and the timing of cash payments during the nuclear fuel cycle. The decrease was partially offset by money pool activity.

Increases in System Energy’s receivable from the money pool are a use of cash flow and System Energy’s receivable from the money pool increased $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to increasing by $24.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The money pool is an inter-company borrowing arrangement designed to reduce the Utility subsidiaries’ need for external short-term borrowings.

Financing Activities

Net cash flow used by financing activities decreased $102.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to:


•	an increase in borrowings of $52.7 million on the nuclear fuel company variable interest entity’s credit facility in 2014 compared to repayments of $19.8 million on the nuclear fuel company variable interest entity’s credit facility in 2013; and


•	a decrease of $35 million in common stock dividends paid in 2014.

See Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K and Note 4 to the financial statements herein for more details on long-term debt.

Capital Structure

System Energy’s capitalization is balanced between equity and debt, as shown in the following table.



	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Debt to capital	46.3	%	46.4	%
Effect of subtracting cash	(2.9	%)	(4.6	%)
Net debt to net capital	43.4	%	41.8	%

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. System Energy uses the net debt to net capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating System Energy’s financial condition because net debt indicates System Energy’s outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.

Uses and Sources of Capital

See "MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - Liquidity and Capital Resources" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of System Energy’s uses and sources of capital.

System Energy’s receivables from the money pool were as follows:

In accordance with Entergy’s stock-based compensation plans, Entergy periodically grants stock options to key employees, which may be exercised to obtain shares of Entergy’s common stock. According to the plans, these shares can be newly issued shares, treasury stock, or shares purchased on the open market. Entergy’s management has been authorized by the Board to repurchase on the open market shares up to an amount sufficient to fund the exercise of grants under the plans. In addition to this authority, the Board has authorized share repurchase programs to enable opportunistic purchases in response to market conditions. In October 2010 the Board granted authority for a $500 million share repurchase program. The amount of share repurchases under these programs may vary as a result of material changes in business results or capital spending or new investment opportunities. In addition, in the first quarter 2014, Entergy withheld 55,076 shares of its common stock at $61.29 per share and 43,246 shares of its common stock at $63.03 to pay income taxes due upon vesting of restricted stock granted as part of its long-term incentive program.


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


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

Item 5. Other Information

Regulation of the Nuclear Power Industry

Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982

Nuclear Plant Decommissioning

See the discussion in Part I, Item 1 in the Form 10-K for information regarding decommissioning funding for the nuclear plants. Following is an update to that discussion. In March 2014, Entergy Nuclear Operations made filings with the NRC reporting on decommissioning funding for certain of Entergy’s nuclear plants. Those reports all showed that decommissioning funding for those nuclear plants met the NRC’s financial assurance requirements.

Environmental Regulation

Following are updates to the Environmental Regulation section of Part I, Item 1 of the Form 10-K.

Clean Air Act and Subsequent Amendments

Cross-State Air Pollution

In March 2005, the EPA finalized the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), which was intended to reduce SO2 and NOx emissions from electric generation plants in order to improve air quality in twenty-nine eastern states. The rule required a combination of capital investment to install pollution control equipment and increased operating costs through the purchase of emission allowances. Entergy began implementation in 2007, including installation of controls at several facilities and the development of an emission allowance procurement strategy.

Based on several court challenges, the CAIR was vacated and remanded to the EPA by the D.C. Circuit in 2008. The court allowed the CAIR to become effective in January 2009, while the EPA revised the rule. On July 7, 2011, the EPA released its final Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR, which previously was referred to as the Transport Rule). The rule was directed at limiting the interstate transport of emissions of NOx and SO2 as precursors to ozone and fine particulate matter. The final rule provided a significantly lower number of allowances to Entergy’s Utility states than did the draft rule. Entergy’s capital investment and annual allowance purchase costs under the CSAPR would depend on the economic assessment of NOx and SO2 allowance markets, the cost of control technologies, generation unit utilization, and the availability and cost of purchased power.

Entergy filed a petition for review with the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and a petition with the EPA for reconsideration of the rule and stay of its effectiveness. Several other parties filed similar petitions. In December 2011 the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit Court stayed CSAPR and instructed the EPA to continue administering CAIR, pending further judicial review. In August 2012 the court issued a decision vacating CSAPR and leaving CAIR in place pending the promulgation of a lawful replacement for both rules. In January 2013 the court denied petitions for reconsideration filed by the EPA and certain states and intervenors. In March 2013 the EPA and other parties filed petitions for certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme Court issued an order in June 2013 granting the EPA’s and environmental groups’ petitions for review of the D.C. Circuit’s decision vacating CSAPR. In April 2014 the Supreme Court reversed the D.C. Circuit and remanded the case to the D.C. Circuit for further proceedings. Entergy is reviewing the decision. Until the courts or the EPA issue further guidance on this rule and its applicability, Entergy will continue to comply with CAIR as directed by the D.C. Circuit in its original opinion.

Clean Water Act

Effluent Limitation Guidelines

In April 2013 the EPA issued proposed effluent limitation guidelines that, if adopted as final, would apply to discharges from Entergy’s generating facilities that hold national pollutant discharge elimination system permits under the Clean Water Act. The proposal includes several options for public consideration. Entergy submitted comments on the proposed rule and will continue to engage in the public comment process as appropriate. The EPA announced that the final rule will be issued no later than September 30, 2015.

Federal Jurisdiction of Waters of the United States

In September 2013 the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced the intention to propose a rule to clarify federal Clean Water Act jurisdiction over waters of the United States. The announcement was made in conjunction with the EPA’s release of a draft scientific report on the "connectivity" of waters that the agency says will inform the rulemaking. The proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on April 21, 2014 and will undergo a 90-day public comment period. Preliminary review indicates that this proposal could significantly increase the number and types of waters included in the EPA’s and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ jurisdiction, which in turn could pose additional permitting and pollutant management burdens on Entergy’s operations. Entergy is actively engaged in the rulemaking process.

Entergy Louisiana Officer Election (Entergy Louisiana)

On May 6, 2014, the Board of Directors of Entergy Louisiana, LLC elected Andrew S. Marsh to the position of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Upon his election, Mr. Marsh became Entergy Louisiana’s principal financial officer. Alyson M. Mount, Entergy Louisiana’s Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, previously served as Entergy Louisiana’s acting principal financial officer and will continue to serve as its principal accounting officer.

Mr. Marsh, age 42, continues to serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for Entergy Corporation. Mr. Marsh previously served as Vice President, System Planning for Entergy Services, Inc. (ESI), from June 2010 until February 2013, Vice President, Planning and Financial Communications of ESI from July 2007 through June 2010 and as Vice President, Strategic Planning of ESI from October 2004 through June 2007. Mr. Marsh receives compensation for serving as an executive officer of Entergy Corporation and will not receive any additional compensation as Entergy Louisiana’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
