ENTERGY MISSISSIPPI, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Net income increased $4.7 million primarily due to higher retail electric price and higher other income, partially offset by higher other operation and maintenance expenses and higher interest expense.
Net income increased $24.1 million primarily due to higher retail electric price, higher other income, and higher volume/weather. The increase was partially offset by higher other operation and maintenance expenses, a regulatory charge, recorded in the first quarter 2025, to reflect an adjustment to the grid modernization over/under recovery deferral balance, and higher interest expense.
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| (In Millions) | |
| 2024 operating revenues | $442.9 |
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | 35.2 |
| Retail electric price | 14.1 |
| Volume/weather | (0.3) |
| 2025 operating revenues | $491.9 |
Entergy Mississippi’s results include revenues from rate mechanisms designed to recover fuel, purchased power, and other costs such that the revenues and expenses associated with these items generally offset and do not affect net income. “Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income” includes the revenue variance associated with these items.
The retail electric price variance is primarily due to an increase in formula rate plan rates effective July 2024 and an increase in the interim facilities rate adjustment revenues effective January 2025. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the 2024 formula rate plan filing, and see Note 2 to the financial statements herein for discussion of the interim facilities rate adjustment.
The volume/weather variance for second quarter 2025 as compared to second quarter 2024 is insignificant.

| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Debt to capital | 53.9% | 50.4% |

The net debt to net capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure. Entergy Mississippi uses the net debt to net capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy Mississippi’s financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy Mississippi’s outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.
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. The following are updates to the information provided in the Form 10-K.
Recent announcements of changes to international trade policy and tariffs and further similar changes may impact Entergy Mississippi’s business, operations, results of operations, and liquidity and capital resources. Potential impacts may include increases in costs associated with Entergy Mississippi’s capital investments or operation and maintenance expenses; operational impacts, such as supply chain, manufacturing, or raw materials sourcing disruptions which may affect Entergy Mississippi’s ability to make planned capital investments as and when expected and needed; legal uncertainties, such as potential legal or other challenges to presidential tariff authority; or broader economic risks, including shifting customer demand, impacts on customer investment decisions, and volatile or uncertain credit and capital markets, which may affect Entergy Mississippi’s ability to access needed capital. The nature and extent of any such effects will depend on, among other things, the specifics of the changes that are ultimately implemented both domestically and internationally, the responses of vendors, suppliers, and other counterparties to those changes, indirect effects on the price and availability of non-tariffed goods, and the effectiveness of mitigation measures.
Entergy Mississippi’s receivables from or (payables to) the money pool were as follows:
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | June 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 |

Entergy Mississippihas a credit facility in the amount of$300 million scheduled to expire in June 2030. The credit facility includes fronting commitments for the issuance of letters of credit against $5 million of the borrowing capacity of the facility. As of June 30, 2025, there were no cash borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the credit facility. In addition, Entergy Mississippi is a party to two uncommitted letter of credit facilities as a means to post collateral to support its obligations to MISO and for other purposes. As of June 30, 2025,$46.0 million in MISO letters of credit and$1.3 million in non-MISO letters of credit were outstanding under one of Entergy Mississippi’s uncommitted letter of credit facilities. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the credit facilities.
New Advanced Power Station
Entergy Mississippi plans to construct, own, and operate a 754 MW combined cycle combustion turbine facility to be located in the City of Ridgeland, Madison County, Mississippi. The facility will be powered primarily by natural gas, and it will also be enabled for future carbon capture and storage and for hydrogen co-firing optionality. The project is expected to cost in excess of $1 billion. The facility is expected to be in service in 2029.
See “MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery” in the Form 10-K for a discussion of state and local rate regulation and fuel-cost recovery. The following are updates to that discussion.
In February 2025, Entergy Mississippi submitted its formula rate plan 2025 test year filing and 2024 look-back filing showing Entergy Mississippi’s earned return on rate base for the historical 2024 calendar year to be within the formula rate plan bandwidth and projected earned return for the 2025 calendar year also to be within the formula rate plan bandwidth. The 2025 test year filing showed an earned return on rate base of 7.64% and reflected no change in formula rate plan revenues. The 2024 look-back filing compared actual 2024 results to the approved benchmark return on rate base and reflected no change in formula rate plan revenues, although Entergy Mississippi proposed to adjust interim rates by $135 thousand to reflect two outside-the-bandwidth changes: (1) the completion of Entergy Mississippi’s return to customers of credits under its restructuring credit rider; and (2) a true-up of demand side management costs.
In June 2025, Entergy Mississippi and the Mississippi Public Utilities Staff entered into a joint stipulation that confirmed the 2025 test year filing, with the exception of immaterial adjustments to certain operation and maintenance expenses. The formula rate plan reflected an earned return on rate base of 7.68% for calendar year 2025, resulting in no change in formula rate plan revenues for 2025. Pursuant to the stipulation, Entergy Mississippi’s 2024 look-back filing reflected an earned return on rate base of 7.55%, which also resulted in no change in formula rate plan revenues for 2024. In addition, the stipulation included the recovery of the two outside-the-bandwidth changes discussed above as well as the ratemaking treatment of customer contributions (deferred revenue and prepaid contributions in aid of construction). In June 2025 the MPSC approved the joint stipulation with rates effective in July 2025.
Interim Facilities Rate Adjustments
In May 2024, Entergy Mississippi received approval from the MPSC for formula rate plan revisions that were necessary for Entergy Mississippi to comply with state legislation passed in January 2024. The legislation allows Entergy Mississippi to make interim rate adjustments to recover the non-fuel related annual ownership cost of certain facilities that directly or indirectly provide service to customers who own certain data processing center projects as specified in the legislation. Entergy Mississippi filed the first of its annual interim facilities rate adjustment reports in May 2024 to recover approximately $8.7 million of these costs over a six-month period with rates effective beginning in July 2024. Entergy Mississippi filed its second interim facilities rate adjustment report in November 2024 to recover approximately $46.7 million of these costs over a 12-month period with rates effective beginning in January 2025. In February 2025, Entergy Mississippi filed a true-up interim facilities rate adjustment report to the initial annual interim facilities rate adjustment report filed in May 2024, reflecting the recovery of an additional approximately $1.0 million of costs over a 12-month period with rates effective with the first billing cycle of April 2025.

ENTERGY NEW ORLEANS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Net income decreased $3.1 million primarily due to higher other operation and maintenance expenses and higher interest expense.
Entergy New Orleans had net income of $30.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a net loss of $27.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to a$78.5 million ($57.4 million net-of-tax) regulatory charge, recorded in first quarter 2024, primarily to reflect a settlement in principle between Entergy New Orleans and the City Council in April 2024 for additional sharing with customers of income tax benefits from the resolution of the 2016-2018 IRS audit. Also contributing to the net income variance were higher volume/weather, higher retail electric price, and lower other operation and maintenance expenses, partially offset by higher interest expense and higher depreciation and amortization expenses. See Note 3 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the April 2024 settlement in principle and discussion of the resolution of the 2016-2018 IRS audit.
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| (In Millions) | |
| 2024 operating revenues | $199.3 |
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | 9.8 |
| Retail electric price | 1.8 |
| Volume/weather | (0.9) |
| 2025 operating revenues | $210.0 |
Entergy New Orleans’s results include revenues from rate mechanisms designed to recover fuel, purchased power, and other costs such that the revenues and expenses associated with these items generally offset and do not affect net income. “Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income” includes the revenue variance associated with these items.
The retail electric price variance is primarily due to an increase in formula rate plan rates effective September 2024 in accordance with the terms of the 2024 formula rate plan filing. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the formula rate plan filing.
The volume/weather variance is primarily due to a decrease in industrial usage and the effect of less favorable weather on residential sales, partially offset by an increase in weather-adjusted residential usage. The decrease in industrial usage is primarily due to a decrease in demand from large industrial customers, primarily in the industrial gases industry.
Total electric energy sales for Entergy New Orleans for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | % Change | |
|---|---|---|---|

| 2025 operating revenues | $391.1 |
Entergy New Orleans’s results include revenues from rate mechanisms designed to recover fuel, purchased power, and other costs such that the revenues and expenses associated with these items generally offset and do not affect net income. “Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income” includes the revenue variance associated with these items.
The retail electric price variance is primarily due to an increase in formula rate plan rates effective September 2024 in accordance with the terms of the 2024 formula rate plan filing. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the formula rate plan filing.
The volume/weather variance is primarily due to the effect of more favorable weather on residential sales, partially offset by a decrease in commercial and industrial usage. The decrease in industrial usage is primarily due to a decrease in demand from large industrial customers, primarily in the industrial gases industry, and a decrease in demand from small industrial customers.
Total electric energy sales for Entergy New Orleans for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | % Change | |
|---|---|---|---|

See Note 12 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of Entergy New Orleans’s operating revenues.
Other operation and maintenance expenses increased primarily due toan increase of $1.0 million in loss provisions and an increase of $1.0 million inenergy efficiency expenses primarily due to higher energy efficiency costs. The increase was partially offset bycontract costs of $0.8 million, in second quarter 2024, related to operational performance, customer service, and organizational health initiatives.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased primarily due to additions to plant in service.
Other income (deductions) decreased primarily due to the deferral of certain other postretirement benefit expense credits, effective September 2024, in accordance with the terms of the 2024 formula rate plan filing. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the 2024 formula rate plan filing and Note 11 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the other postretirement benefits accounting treatment.
Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase of $3.3 million in carrying costs on regulatory liability balances.
Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased primarily due to $1.8 million in costs recognized in 2024 related to credits provided to customers as part of the rate mitigation plan approved in the settlement of the 2023 formula rate plan filingand contract costs of $1.7 million in 2024 related to operational performance, customer service, and organizational health initiatives. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $1.8 million in energy efficiency expenses primarily due to higher energy efficiency costs, partially offset by the timing of recovery from customers. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the formula rate plan filing.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased primarily due to additions to plant in service.
Other regulatory charges (credits) - net includesa regulatory charge of$78.5 million, recorded in first quarter 2024, primarily to reflect a settlement in principle between Entergy New Orleans and the City Council in April 2024 for additional sharing with customers of income tax benefits from the resolution of the 2016-2018 IRS audit. See Note 3 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the April 2024 settlement in principle and discussion of the resolution of the 2016-2018 IRS audit.
Other income (deductions) decreased primarily due to the deferral of certain other postretirement benefit expense credits, effective September 2024, in accordance with the terms of the 2024 formula rate plan filing. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the 2024 formula rate plan filing and Note 11 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the other postretirement benefits accounting treatment.
Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase of $6.6 million in carrying costs on regulatory liability balances.
The effective income tax rates were 24.1% for the second quarter 2025 and 23.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The differences in the effective income tax rates for the second quarter 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2025 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% were primarily due to the accrual for state income taxes, partially offset by certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items.
The effective income tax rates were 26.2% for the second quarter 2024 and 29.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The differences in the effective income tax rates for the second quarter 2024 and the six months ended June 30, 2024 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% were primarily due to the accrual for state income taxes.
Sale of Natural Gas Distribution Business
See Note 13 to the financial statements herein and the “Held For Sale - Natural Gas Distribution Businesses” section in Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of Entergy New Orleans’s gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.
| 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| (In Thousands) | ||
| Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period | $31,777 | $26 |
| Net cash provided by (used in): | ||
| Operating activities | 23,652 | 45,416 |
| Investing activities | (77,385) | (74,449) |
| Financing activities | 21,982 | 35,565 |
| Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | (31,751) | 6,532 |
| Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | $26 | $6,558 |
Net cash flow provided by operating activities decreased $21.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the timing of payments to vendors and higher fuel and purchased power payments in 2025 as compared to 2024. The decrease was partially offset by higher collections from customers. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery.
Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to an increase of $17.9 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to a higher scope of work performed during plant outages in 2025 as compared to 2024, partially offset by the receipt of $10.3 million from the storm reserve escrow account in 2025. See “Uses and Sources of Capital -Hurricane Francine” below for discussion of the Hurricane Francine proceeding.
Net cash flow provided by financing activities decreased $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the issuances of $65 million of 6.41% Series mortgage bonds, $50 million of 6.54% Series mortgage bonds, and $35 million of 6.25% Series mortgage bonds, each in May 2024, and the repayment, at maturity, of $78 million of 3.00% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025. The decrease was partially offset by the repayment, at maturity, of an $85 million unsecured term loan in June 2024, proceeds received in March 2025 from an $80 million unsecured term loan (subsequently repaid in July 2025), and money pool activity.
Increases in Entergy New Orleans’s payable to the money pool are a source of cash flow, and Entergy New Orleans’s payable to the money pool increased $20.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to decreasing by $21.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The money pool is an intercompany cash management program that makes possible intercompany borrowing and lending arrangements, and the money pool and other borrowing arrangements are designed to reduce the Registrant Subsidiaries’ dependence on external short-term borrowings.
Entergy New Orleans’s debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table.
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Debt to capital | 50.5% | 51.5% |
| Effect of subtracting cash | —% | (1.1%) |
| Net debt to net capital (non-GAAP) | 50.5% | 50.4% |
Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of short-term borrowings, finance lease obligations, long-term debt, including the currently maturing portion, and the long-term payable due to an associated company. Capital consists of debt and equity. Net capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. Entergy New Orleans uses the debt to capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy New Orleans’s financial condition. The net debt to net capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure. Entergy New Orleans also uses the net debt to net capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy New Orleans’s financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy New Orleans’s outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.
See “MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS -Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the Form 10-K for a discussion of Entergy New Orleans’s uses and sources of capital. The following are updates to the information provided in the Form 10-K.
Recent announcements of changes to international trade policy and tariffs and further similar changes may impact Entergy New Orleans’s business, operations, results of operations, and liquidity and capital resources. Potential impacts may include increases in costs associated with Entergy New Orleans’s capital investments or operation and maintenance expenses; operational impacts, such as supply chain, manufacturing, or raw materials sourcing disruptions which may affect Entergy New Orleans’s ability to make planned capital investments as and when expected and needed; legal uncertainties, such as potential legal or other challenges to presidential tariff authority; or broader economic risks, including shifting customer demand, impacts on customer investment decisions, and volatile or uncertain credit and capital markets, which may affect Entergy New Orleans’s ability to access needed capital. The nature and extent of any such effects will depend on, among other things, the specifics of the changes that are ultimately implemented both domestically and internationally, the responses of vendors, suppliers, and other counterparties to those changes, indirect effects on the price and availability of non-tariffed goods, and the effectiveness of mitigation measures.

Hurricane Francine
In September 2024, Hurricane Francine caused damage to the areas served by Entergy New Orleans. The storm resulted in widespread power outages, primarily due to damage to distribution infrastructure as a result of strong winds and heavy rain, and the loss of sales during the power outages. In December 2024, in accordance with the terms of its storm recovery reserve escrow agreement, Entergy New Orleans transmitted to the City Council a notice of intent to withdraw up to $20 million in estimated storm costs resulting from Hurricane Francine from its storm recovery reserve escrow account, subject to the City Council’s certification of those costs. In January 2025, the City Council authorized the withdrawal, and in February 2025, Entergy New Orleans withdrew $10.3 million from its storm recovery reserve escrow account.
State and Local Rate Regulation
See “MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – State and Local Rate Regulation” in the Form 10-K for a discussion of state and local rate regulation. The following is an update to that discussion.
In April 2025, Entergy New Orleans submitted to the City Council its formula rate plan 2024 test year filing. The 2024 evaluation report produced an electric earned return on equity of 10.98% compared to the authorized return on equity of 9.35%. Without adjustments, this would result in a decrease in electric rates of $13.8 million. The decrease in electric rates is driven by the realignment of regulatory liabilities into the formula from a separate rate mechanism, partially offset by the cost of known and measurable electric capital additions. The filing also commences the previously authorized recovery of certain regulatory costs and requests a revenue-neutral recovery to offset a proposed reduction in bill payment late fees. Taking into account these proposed adjustments, the filing presents a decrease in authorized electric revenues of $8.6 million. The City Council’s advisors issued their report in July 2025 seeking a reduction in Entergy New Orleans’s requested electric formula rate plan revenues of approximately $7.2 million due to certain proposed cost realignments and disallowances, of which $4.1 million is associated with Entergy New Orleans’s proposed implementation, on a revenue neutral basis, of a proposed reduction in customer late fees. The City Council’s advisors also proposed rate mitigation in the amount of $4.4 million through offsets to the formula rate plan funded by certain regulatory liabilities. The City Council’s advisors’ report began a 35-day period to resolve any disputes among the parties regarding the formula rate plan. For any disputed rate adjustments, the City Council would set a procedural schedule to resolve. Resulting rates will be effective with the first billing cycle of September 2025 pursuant to the formula rate plan tariff.
