Consolidated results

For second quarter 2026, the company reported earnings of $483 million, or $1.03 per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to second quarter 2025 earnings of $468 million, or $1.05 per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis.

Business results

Utility

For second quarter 2026, the Utility business reported earnings attributable to Entergy Corporation of $626 million, or $1.34 per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to second quarter 2025 earnings of $599 million, or $1.34 per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis.

The primary drivers for the quarter’s earnings increase included:

•the net effect of regulatory actions across several operating companies;

•return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments;

•higher retail sales volume; and

•higher other income (deductions).

These drivers were partially offset by higher interest expense, higher O&M, and higher depreciation and amortization.

On a per share basis, second quarter 2026 results reflected higher diluted average number of common shares outstanding primarily due to the settlement of equity forwards in 2025 and 2026 as well as the dilutive effect of an increase in the stock price on unsettled equity forwards.

Appendix C contains additional details on Utility operating and financial measures.

Parent & Other

For second quarter 2026, Parent & Other reported a loss attributable to Entergy Corporation of $(143 million), or (31) cents per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to a second
