Utility Business Performance

The Utility segment observed a notable performance with earnings attributable to Entergy Corporation registering at $810 million, achieving $1.79 per share on both an as-reported and adjusted basis. Comparatively, the previous year demonstrated earnings of $787 million or $1.82 per share.

Factors contributing to this quarterly upsurge include higher retail sales volume, the effects of regulatory adjustments across its operations, and enhanced other income primarily from increases in Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC) equity.

Margins were slightly constrained due to escalated operations management costs and taxes. Entergy noted an increased diluted average number of shares due to settlements on equity forwards executed earlier this year, a factor contributing to minor variations in per-share results.
