7 The amounts reported in this column (f) represent the Company’s TSR for the prior five completed fiscal years. The calculation for each year is based on a fixed investment of $100 as of December 31, 2020 through the end of each applicable year in the table, assuming reinvestment of dividends. Historic stock price performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.
8 This column (g) reports the average TSR of our peer companies in the Philadelphia Utility Index, the same index that the Company uses in its Annual Report. The same methodology was used in calculating the Company’s TSR and that of the Philadelphia Utility Index, with the calculation for each year based on a fixed investment of $100 as of December 31, 2020, assuming reinvestment of dividends.
9 This column (h) reports the Company’s net income for the prior five completed fiscal years.
10 The information reported in column (i) reports ETR Adjusted EPS, our Company Selected Measure (CSM), for the prior five completed fiscal years. ETR Adjusted EPSis based on the Company’s Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure which is the earnings measure by which we provide external guidance, and excludes the effects of certain adjustments, which are unusual or non-recurring items or events or other items or events that management believes do not reflect the ongoing business of Entergy, such as significant tax items, and other items such as certain costs, expenses, or other specified items. ETR Adjusted EPS is then adjusted to eliminate the effect of the Pre-Determined Exclusions (as defined within the CD&A). We have designated ETR Adjusted EPS as our CSM as we believe it represents our most important financial measure (aside from Relative TSR) used to link CAP to the Company’s NEOs to Company performance for the most recently completed fiscal year. ETR Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure; a reconciliation can be found within Appendix A. See "2025 Annual Incentive Program Performance Measures and Methodology" of the CD&A for additional information on this non-GAAP financial measure.
