Fuel and purchased power cost recovery

Energy Cost Recovery Rider

In March 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed its annual redetermination of its energy cost rate pursuant to the energy cost recovery rider, which reflected an increase in the rate from $0.01333 per kWh to $0.01508 per kWh. The primary reason for the rate increase was an under-recovered balance as a result of higher natural gas prices in 2025. Based on circumstances related to ANO 2’s refueling outage, Entergy Arkansas made an adjustment to projected energy costs to phase-in the rate increase gradually. The redetermined rate of $0.01508 per kWh became effective with the first billing cycle in April 2026 through the normal operation of the tariff.

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in June 2025 the LPSC staff provided notice of an audit of Entergy Louisiana’s purchased gas adjustment clause filings (for Entergy Louisiana’s gas operations). The audit includes a review of the reasonableness of charges flowed through Entergy Louisiana’s purchased gas adjustment clause for the period from January 2023 through June 2025. The LPSC staff issued its audit report in March 2026, and although certain internal record keeping recommendations were made, the LPSC staff did not recommend any disallowances. The next step is for the LPSC to issue its final report, but there is no deadline or timing requirement associated with the issuance of the final report.

In February 2026, Entergy Louisiana, in its monthly filing to update its fuel adjustment clause, requested to defer approximately $141.9 million of fuel costs incurred in January 2026 that were primarily attributable to the effects of Winter Storm Fern, consistent with the LPSC’s general order approved at its February 2026 meeting permitting temporary modifications to the LPSC’s fuel adjustment clause general order. The filing proposes to defer the recovery of these fuel costs over a four-month period from March 2026 through June 2026 to mitigate the customer bill impacts of these fuel costs.

In April 2026 the LPSC staff provided notice of an audit of Entergy Louisiana’s fuel adjustment clause filings. The audit includes a review of the reasonableness of charges flowed through Entergy Louisiana’s fuel adjustment clause for the period from 2023 through 2025.

Retail Rate Proceedings

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

Filings with the APSC (Entergy Arkansas)

2026 Base Rate Case

In February 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed with the APSC a general change in rates, charges, and tariffs. The filing requested a base rate increase to recover a base rate revenue deficiency of $44.6 million and notified the APSC of Entergy Arkansas’s intent to implement a forward test year formula rate plan pursuant to Arkansas legislation passed in 2015. The primary drivers of the revenue deficiency were increased depreciation expense and the impact of net capital additions. Additionally, the filing requested a 9.90% return on common equity and increased depreciation rates as the result of a depreciation study. In March 2026 the APSC issued an order suspending the proposed rates and tariffs filed by Entergy Arkansas and will establish a procedural schedule by subsequent order.

Generating Arkansas Jobs Act Rider

In March 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed its first annual update to the strategic investment recovery rider, requesting recovery of $110.4 million of financing costs during construction of generation and transmission strategic investments related to Ironwood Power Station, Jefferson Power Station, and the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility. The revised rates are requested to be effective for bills rendered on the first billing cycle of June 2026. In April 2026 the APSC general staff filed testimony arguing that the APSC had not issued an order designating Ironwood Power Station as a strategic investment and that related costs should therefore be removed from the annual update. Also in April 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed testimony asserting that the APSC general staff’s position is contrary to the plain language of the statute, which includes an exception for facilities like Ironwood Power Station that were certified by the APSC within a certain timeframe. A hearing was held in April 2026.

Production Tax Credit Tariff

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K, in January 2026 the APSC opened a docket to investigate the sale of Entergy Arkansas’s nuclear production tax credits and the appropriate ratemaking treatment of production tax credits for all of Entergy Arkansas’s eligible resources, including how the proceeds of any sales should flow through to customers. As directed by the APSC, in February 2026, Entergy Arkansas submitted a compliance filing to the APSC verifying the status of the solar production tax credits. The filing also verified that the net proceeds from the sale of the nuclear production tax credits were recorded in FERC accounts that are accruing a return for customers’ benefit at a rate that is above the customer deposit rate. Subsequently, in March 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed testimony setting forth its proposal for the solar production tax credits. Specifically, Entergy Arkansas requested the same ratemaking treatment for all of the solar facilities that the APSC already approved for Walnut Bend (i.e., the total net monetized proceeds from production tax credits expected to be generated over the first ten years of a solar facility’s operation are estimated and then amortized over the expected useful life of the asset, which is typically 30 years). Additionally, consistent with prior orders for these resources, the deferred tax asset balances associated with both the production tax credits and the tax gross-up of the regulatory liability will be recognized as a reduction to the overall accumulated deferred income tax liability balance in Entergy Arkansas’s calculation of its weighted average cost of capital providing a return on the unamortized balance for the benefit of customers. Further, Entergy Arkansas proposes to flow the benefits of the solar production tax credits to customers through Entergy Arkansas’s formula rate plan, effective with the formula rate plan rates that will go into effect January 1, 2027. Entergy Arkansas’s proposal would result in the benefits of the production tax credits being passed through to customers, if approved, as reductions in revenue requirement evenly over the life of the assets, rather than only during the 10-year period in which the production tax credits are generated. In April 2026 the APSC general staff filed testimony proposing an amortization period of no more than 15 years for the monetized proceeds for the tax credits associated with the West Memphis Solar and Driver Solar facilities. An evidentiary hearing is scheduled for July 2026.

Special Rate Contract and Arkansas Cypress Solar

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in September 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed an application with the APSC seeking a certificate of environmental compatibility and public need for the construction and operation of the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility, a planned 600 MW solar photovoltaic array with a 350 MW battery energy storage system and associated transmission facilities interconnecting at Entergy Arkansas’s White Bluff substation. The estimated cost of the project is $1,602 million. In March 2026 the APSC approved the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility and Entergy Arkansas’s recovery of the costs of the facility through the Generating Arkansas Jobs Act rider. The APSC also ordered implementation of an independent monitor to oversee costs. In April 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed with the APSC its proposal for an independent monitor to oversee the reasonableness of costs. In April 2026 the APSC issued an order consolidating Entergy Arkansas’s cost independent monitor proposals for three pending resources, including the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility, into a single docket and directing parties with full intervention status to respond to the proposals and recommend independent monitor candidates. The facility is expected to be in service by the end of 2028.

Filings with the LPSC (Entergy Louisiana)

Resilience Plan Cost Recovery Rider

In December 2022, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC seeking a public interest finding regarding Phase I of Entergy Louisiana’s Future Ready resilience plan and approval of a rider mechanism to recover the program’s costs. Phase I in the December 2022 application reflected the first five years of a ten-year resilience plan and included investment of approximately $5 billion, including hardening investment, transmission dead-end structures, enhanced vegetation management, and telecommunications improvement. In April 2024 the LPSC approved a framework which includes an initial five-year resilience plan providing for an investment of approximately $1.9 billion with cost recovery via a forward-looking rider with semi-annual true-ups. The plan is subject to specified reporting requirements and includes a performance review of the hardened assets. The LPSC order approving the framework does not include any restrictions on Entergy Louisiana’s ability to file applications for approval of additional investments in resilience.

In January 2025, Entergy Louisiana’s semi-annual filing sought to collect from Entergy Louisiana’s retail customers approximately $40.4 million, or $38.9 million in incremental annual revenues from Entergy Louisiana’s first semi-annual filing in July 2024, for projects expected to be placed in service during the rate-effective period of March 2025 through August 2025. In February 2025 the LPSC staff reviewed the filed rider rates and identified no material issues.

In July 2025, Entergy Louisiana’s semi-annual filing sought to collect from Entergy Louisiana’s retail customers approximately $50.2 million, or $9.8 million in incremental annual revenues, for projects expected to be placed in service during the rate-effective period of September 2025 through February 2026. Additionally, Entergy Louisiana’s true-up filing included an under-recovery totaling $5.6 million to be implemented in the January 2026 semi-annual filing. In August 2025 the LPSC staff reviewed the filed rider rates and identified no material issues.

In January 2026, Entergy Louisiana’s semi-annual filing sought to collect from Entergy Louisiana’s retail customers approximately $101.8 million, or $51.6 million in incremental annual revenues, for projects expected to be placed in service during the rate-effective period of March 2026 through August 2026. Additionally, Entergy Louisiana’s true-up filing included an over-recovery totaling $16.6 million to be implemented in the July 2026 semi-annual filing. In February 2026 the LPSC staff reviewed the filed rider rates and identified no material issues.

Filings with the MPSC (Entergy Mississippi)

In February 2026, Entergy Mississippi submitted its formula rate plan 2026 test year filing and 2025 look-back filing showing Entergy Mississippi’s earned return on rate base for the historical 2025 calendar year to be within the formula rate plan bandwidth and projected earned return for the 2026 calendar year to also be within the formula rate plan bandwidth. The 2026 test year filing resulted in an earned return on rate base of 7.64% and reflectedno change in formula rate plan revenues. The 2025 look-back filing compared actual 2025 results to the approved benchmark return on rate base and reflectedno change in formula rate plan revenues, although Entergy Mississippi proposes to adjust interim rates by $293 thousand to reflect one outside-the-bandwidth change, a true-up of demand side management costs. A final order is expected in second quarter 2026.

Filings with the City Council (Entergy New Orleans)

In April 2026, Entergy New Orleans submitted to the City Council its formula rate plan 2025 test year filing. The 2025 evaluation report produced an earned return on equity of 7.55% compared to the authorized return on equity of 9.35%. Without adjustments, this would result in an increase in rates of $16.6 million. The increase in rates is driven, in part, by an increase in plant in service, as well as the cost of known and measurable capital additions. The increase is also driven by a decrease in total revenues due to a decline in kWh sales. The filing is subject to a 75-day review and discovery period followed by a 25-day period to resolve any disputes among the parties. For any disputed items, the City Council would set a procedural schedule to resolve such disputes. Resulting rates will be effective with the first billing cycle of September 2026 pursuant to the formula rate plan tariff.

Filings with the PUCT and Texas Cities (Entergy Texas)

Distribution Cost Recovery Factor (DCRF) Rider

In April 2026, Entergy Texas filed with the PUCT a request to amend its DCRF rider. The proposed rider is designed to collect from Entergy Texas’s retail customers approximately $112.5 million annually, or $20.4 million in incremental annual revenues beyond Entergy Texas’s currently effective DCRF rider based on its capital invested in distribution between July 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025.

Transmission Cost Recovery Factor (TCRF) Rider

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in October 2025, Entergy Texas filed with the PUCT a request to amend its TCRF rider. The amended rider was designed to collect from Entergy Texas’s retail customers approximately $30.3 million annually, or $20.6 million in incremental annual revenues beyond Entergy Texas’s then-effective TCRF rider based on its capital invested in transmission between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025 and changes in other transmission charges. In April 2026 the PUCT approved the TCRF rider, consistent with Entergy Texas’s as-filed request, and rates became effective for usage on and after April 6, 2026.

Generation Cost Recovery Rider

In March 2026, Entergy Texas filed an application to establish a generation cost recovery rider to begin recovering a return of and on its capital investment in the Orange County Advanced Power Station. The proposed generation cost recovery rider, which includes Entergy Texas’s capital invested in generation for the Orange County Advanced Power Station through December 31, 2025, is designed to collect approximately $150.4 million annually from Entergy Texas’s retail customers. By statute, the proposed generation cost recovery rider rates are to become effective when the Orange County Advanced Power Station is placed into service, which is expected in third quarter 2026.

The restricted stock awards and restricted stock units were made effective on January 29, 2026, and were valued at $96.03 per share, which was the closing price of Entergy Corporation’s common stock on the grant date. Shares of restricted stock 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 three-year vesting period. One-third of the restricted stock awards and accrued dividends will vest upon each anniversary of the grant date. The restricted stock units do not have voting rights and are not considered issued and outstanding shares of Entergy prior to vesting. One-third of the restricted stock units will vest upon each anniversary of the grant date and are paid in the form of shares of Entergy. Dividend equivalents accrue on the restricted stock units and are converted to additional restricted stock units, which are subject to the same vesting schedule as the underlying restricted stock units. The restricted stock units are expensed ratably over the three-year vesting period.

The performance units represent the value of, and are settled with, one share of Entergy Corporation common stock at the end of the three-year performance period, plus dividends accrued during the performance period on the number of performance units earned. For the 2026-2028 performance period, performance will be measured based eighty percent on relative total shareholder return, ten percent on an environmental stewardship achievement measure, andten percent on a reliability achievement measure. The performance units were granted on January 29, 2026 andeighty percent were valued at $118.24 per share based on various factors, primarily market conditions; and both theten percent for the environmental stewardship achievement and theten percent for the reliability achievement were valued at $96.03 per share, the closing price of Entergy Corporation’s common stock on the grant date. Performance units do not have voting rights and are not considered issued and outstanding shares of Entergy prior to vesting. Performance units are expensed ratably over the three-year vesting period, and compensation cost for the portion of the award based on the environmental stewardship achievement measure and the reliability achievement measure will be adjusted based on the number of units that ultimately vest. See Note 12 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a description of the Long-Term Performance Unit Program.

NOTE 8. RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES (Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, 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 associated with the price of fuel and to mitigate interest rate exposure related to certain financing agreements.

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 commodity and financial 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.

Derivatives

Entergy designates a significant portion of its derivative instruments as normal purchase/normal sale transactions due to their physical settlement provisions, including power purchase and sales agreements, fuel purchase agreements, and capacity contracts. Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for designation as normal purchase/normal sale transactions due to their financial settlement provisions. See further discussion below regarding the accounting for these derivative instruments.

In 2025, Entergy Texas entered into interest rate swaps, accounted for as derivatives, to manage interest rate risks associated with Entergy Texas’s build-to-suit lease arrangement for the Legend Power Station. See Note 8 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for further discussion of the build-to-suit lease arrangement for the Legend Power Station. These interest rate swaps are not designated as hedging instruments. Interest will be calculated as the sum of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus the blended spreads per the build-to-suit lease arrangement, compounded monthly, with one cash settlement per year over the approximate two year construction period. The notional volume of the hedge was calculated based on the expected costs for the Legend Power Station at the time Entergy Texas entered into the interest rate swaps. Changes in the fair value of these interest rate swaps are recognized each period, with gains and losses deferred as a regulatory asset or liability. The interest rate swaps run through January 31, 2028. The total notional volume is up to $1.1 billion for Entergy Texas as of March 31, 2026. Credit support for the swaps are covered by master agreements that do not require Entergy Texas to provide collateral based on mark-to-market values, but do carry adequate assurance language that may lead to requests for collateral.

Entergy manages fuel price volatility for Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Mississippi through the purchase of natural gas swaps that financially settle against either the average Henry Hub Gas Daily prices or the NYMEX Henry Hub. 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 price volatility for electric generation at Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Mississippi. The maximum length of time over which Entergy has executed natural gas swaps as of March 31, 2026 isseven months for Entergy Mississippi. The total volume of natural gas swaps outstanding as of March 31, 2026 is 12,505,900 MMBtu for Entergy and Entergy Mississippi. As of March 31, 2026, Entergy Louisiana hadno outstanding natural gas swaps. Credit support for these natural gas swaps is covered by master agreements that do not require Entergy to provide collateral based on mark-to-market value, but do carry adequate assurance language that may lead to requests for collateral. Prior to the sale of the Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution business, Entergy also managed fuel price volatility related to projected winter purchases for gas distribution at Entergy New Orleans through the purchase of natural gas swaps. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy New Orleans and Entergy Louisiana natural gas distribution businesses on July 1, 2025.

During the second quarter 2025, Entergy participated in the annual financial transmission rights auction process for the MISO planning year of June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2026. Financial transmission rights are derivative instruments that 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 financial transmission rights 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 financial transmission rights held by the non-utility operations are included in operating revenues. The Utility operating companies recognize regulatory liabilities or assets for unrealized gains or losses on financial transmission rights. The total volume of financial transmission rights outstanding as of March 31, 2026 is 18,455 GWh for Entergy, including 3,947 GWh for Entergy Arkansas,9,828 GWh for Entergy Louisiana,1,981 GWh for Entergy Mississippi,661 GWh for Entergy New Orleans, and 2,038 GWh for Entergy Texas. Credit support for financial transmission rights held by the Utility operating companies is covered by cash and/or letters of credit issued by each Utility operating company as required by MISO. No cash was required to be posted for financial transmission rights exposure for the Utility operating companies as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Letters of credit posted with MISO covered the financial transmission rights exposure for Entergy Arkansas and Entergy Mississippi as of March 31, 2026 and for Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, and Entergy Texas as of December 31, 2025. Credit support for financial transmission rights held by Entergy’s non-utility operations business may also be covered by cash and/or letters of credit. No cash or letters of credit were required to be posted for financial transmission rights exposure for the non-utility operations business as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

See Note 8 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the build-to-suit lease arrangement for the Legend Power Station.

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 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:

•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 swaps traded on exchanges with active markets. 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, gas swaps, and interest rate swaps valued using observable inputs.

•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 financial transmission rights.

The values of financial transmission rights are based on unobservable inputs, including estimates of congestion costs in MISO between applicable generation and load pricing nodes based on the 50th percentile of historical prices. They are classified as Level 3 assets and liabilities. The valuations of these assets and liabilities are performed by the Office of Corporate Risk Oversight. The values are calculated internally and verified against the data published by MISO. Entergy’s Accounting 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 Office of Corporate Risk Oversight reports to the Vice President and Treasurer. The Accounting group reports to the Chief Accounting Officer.

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, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to a fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

(a)The decommissioning trust funds hold equity and fixed income securities. Equity securities are invested to approximate the returns of major market indices. Fixed income securities are held in various governmental and corporate securities. See Note 9 to the financial statements herein for additional information on the investment portfolios.

(b)Common trust funds are not publicly quoted and are valued by the fund administrators using net asset value as a practical expedient. Accordingly, these funds are not assigned a level in the fair value table. The fund administrator of these investments allows daily trading at the net asset value and trades settle at a later date.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the net assets for the fair value of financial transmission rights classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

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

The NRC requires certain of the Utility operating companies and System Energy to maintain nuclear decommissioning trusts to fund the costs of decommissioning ANO 1 and 2, River Bend, Waterford 3, and Grand Gulf. Entergy’s nuclear decommissioning trust funds invest in equity securities, fixed-rate debt securities, and cash and cash equivalents.

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, for unrealized gains/(losses) on investment securities, the Registrant Subsidiaries record an offsetting amount in other regulatory liabilities/assets. For the 30% interest in River Bend formerly owned by Cajun, Entergy Louisiana records an offsetting amount in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets of Entergy and Entergy Louisiana for the unrealized trust earnings not currently expected to be needed to decommission the plant. Generally, Entergy records gains and losses on its debt and equity securities using the specific identification method to determine the cost basis of its securities.

The unrealized gains/(losses) recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026 on equity securities still held as of March 31, 2026 were $185 million.

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

See “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 audits, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, and other income tax matters involving Entergy. The following are updates to that discussion.

Other Tax Matters

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

In April 2026 the LPSC issued an order approving an agreement between Entergy Louisiana and the LPSC staff regarding the monetization of the 2025 nuclear production tax credits. The order allows Entergy Louisiana to retain the net proceeds of the monetized credits while the associated tax position remains uncertain. While retaining these proceeds, Entergy Louisiana will accrue carrying charges to its customers at its weighted average cost of capital. The order further provides that customers will be responsible for any associated costs should the IRS reduce some or all of the value of the nuclear production tax credits transferred to third parties. Once the IRS makes a final determination affirming the value of the credits or the audit period expires without a disallowance, Entergy Louisiana will commence flowing the net proceeds of the nuclear production tax credits, including carrying charges, to its customers. This treatment is consistent with the approach previously approved for the 2024 nuclear production tax credits, as discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K.

In April 2026, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, and System Energy entered into an agreement with a third-party purchaser to transfer in third quarter 2026 certain nuclear production tax credits for cash, including a reasonable discount, prior to the filing of Entergy’s 2025 federal income tax return. The monetized value of these credits, net of applicable expenses, is expected to be addressed in retail rates in accordance with applicable regulatory mechanisms.

Amortization of Tax Gross-up on Customer Advances

Amortization of tax gross-up on customer advances, including customer advances for construction, were $22.8 million for Entergy, $1.4 million for Entergy Arkansas, $14.7 million for Entergy Louisiana, $6.2 million for Entergy Mississippi, and $0.5 million for Entergy Texas for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Amortization of tax gross-up on customer advances, including customer advances for construction, were $15.5 million for Entergy, $1.1 million for Entergy Arkansas, $6.5 million for Entergy Louisiana, $6.1 million for Entergy Mississippi, and $1.9 million for Entergy Texas for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Amortization of tax gross-up on customer advances is included in miscellaneous – net in other income in the income statement.

NOTE 11. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES (Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy)

See Note 17 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of variable interest entities (VIEs). See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for details of the nuclear fuel companies’ credit facilities, commercial paper borrowings, and long-term debt. See Note 6 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of noncontrolling interests.

Restoration Law Trust I (the storm trust I), a trust consolidated by Entergy Louisiana, is a VIE and Entergy Louisiana is the primary beneficiary. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the primary asset held by the storm trust I was $2.6 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, of outstanding Entergy Finance Company preferred membership interests, which is reflected as an investment in affiliate preferred membership interests on the consolidated balance sheets of Entergy Louisiana. The LURC’s 1% beneficial interest in the storm trust I is recorded as noncontrolling interest on the consolidated balance sheets of Entergy and Entergy Louisiana, with balances of $26.6 million as of March 31, 2026 and $27.1 million as of December 31, 2025.

Restoration Law Trust II (the storm trust II), a trust consolidated by Entergy Louisiana, is a VIE and Entergy Louisiana is the primary beneficiary. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the primary asset held by the storm trust II was $1.3 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, of outstanding Entergy Finance Company preferred membership interests, which is reflected as an investment in affiliate preferred membership interests on the consolidated balance sheets of Entergy Louisiana. The LURC’s 1% beneficial interest in the storm trust II is recorded as noncontrolling interest on the consolidated balance sheets of Entergy and Entergy Louisiana, with balances of $13.3 million as of March 31, 2026 and $13.1 million as of December 31, 2025.

System Energy is considered to hold a variable interest in the lessor from which it leases an undivided interest in the Grand Gulf nuclear plant. System Energy is the lessee under this arrangement, which is described in more detail in Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K. System Energy made payments under this arrangement, including interest, of $8.6 million in each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the three months ended March 31, 2025.

AR Searcy Partnership, LLC is a tax equity partnership that qualifies as a VIE, which Entergy Arkansas is required to consolidate as it is the primary beneficiary. As of March 31, 2026, AR Searcy Partnership, LLC recorded assets equal to $123.8 million, primarily consisting of property, plant, and equipment, and the carrying value of Entergy Arkansas’s ownership interest in the partnership was approximately $111.8 million. As of December 31, 2025, AR Searcy Partnership, LLC recorded assets equal to $124.4 million, primarily consisting of property, plant, and equipment, and the carrying value of Entergy Arkansas’s ownership interest in the partnership was approximately $113.1 million. The tax equity investor’s ownership interest is recorded as noncontrolling interest on the consolidated balance sheets of Entergy and Entergy Arkansas.

MS Sunflower Partnership, LLC is a tax equity partnership that qualifies as a VIE, which Entergy Mississippi is required to consolidate as it is the primary beneficiary. As of March 31, 2026, MS Sunflower Partnership, LLC recorded assets equal to $150.9 million, primarily consisting of property, plant, and equipment, and the carrying value of Entergy Mississippi’s ownership interest in the partnership was approximately $135.1 million. As of December 31, 2025, MS Sunflower Partnership, LLC recorded assets equal to $154.5 million, primarily consisting of property, plant, and equipment, and the carrying value of Entergy Mississippi’s ownership interest in the partnership was approximately $134.9 million. The tax equity investor’s ownership interest is recorded as noncontrolling interest on the consolidated balance sheets of Entergy and Entergy Mississippi.

NOTE 12. REVENUE (Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy)

See Note 19 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of revenue recognition. Entergy’s total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

The Utility operating companies’ total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

(a)Sales for resale includes day-ahead sales of energy in a market administered by an ISO. These sales represent financially binding commitments for the sale of physical energy the next day. These sales are adjusted to actual power generated and delivered in the real time market. Given the short duration of these transactions, Entergy does not consider them to be derivatives subject to fair value adjustments and includes them as part of customer revenues.

(b)Other electric revenues consist primarily of transmission and ancillary services provided to participants of an ISO-administered market, unbilled revenue, and the return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments.

(c)Other Utility revenues include occasional sales of inventory, alternative revenue programs, provisions for revenue subject to refund, late fees, and amounts resulting from other operating activities.

(d)Other revenues include the sale of electric power and capacity to wholesale customers, day-ahead sales of energy in a market administered by an ISO, and operation and management services fees.

Electric Revenues

See Note 19 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of electric revenues. The following is an update to that discussion.

Most of Entergy’s contracts are on demand, with customer bills that vary each month based on an approved tariff and usage. Certain retail customers, primarily large industrial customers from various industries, have electric service agreements that require a fixed amount of consideration to be paid through the end of a contract term longer than one year. As of March 31, 2026, the amount of revenues related to this fixed consideration that Entergy expects to recognize over the remaining contract terms, extending through 2048, was $8,031 million for Entergy, including $4,400 million for Entergy Arkansas, $848 million for Entergy Louisiana, $2,577 million for Entergy Mississippi, and $206 million for Entergy Texas. These contracts also require variable payments based on the actual amount of energy service, which are recognized as revenue as Entergy has the right to bill the customer for services performed.

In the opinion of the management of Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals and reclassification of previously reported amounts to conform to current classifications) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Entergy’s business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, however, with peak periods occurring typically during the first and third quarters. The results for the interim periods presented should not be used as a basis for estimating results of operations for a full year.

Part I, Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

See the “Market and Credit Risk Sensitive Instruments” section of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis.

Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2026, evaluations were performed under the supervision and with the participation of Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy (each individually a “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 Control over Financial Reporting

Under the supervision and with the participation of each Registrant’s 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, 2026 and found no change that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

ENTERGY ARKANSAS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

See the “Winter Storm Fern” section of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis for a discussion of Winter Storm Fern. Entergy Arkansas’s current estimate for the cost of mobilizing crews and restoring power is approximately $50 million, including approximately $40 million in capital costs and approximately $10 million in non-capital costs. Natural gas purchases for Entergy Arkansas were $74 million in January 2026 compared to $25 million in January 2025.

Net income decreased $3.8 million primarily due to higher interest expense and lower volume/weather, partially offset by higher retail electric price.

Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the three months ended March 31, 2026 to the three months ended March 31, 2025:

Entergy Arkansas’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 January 2026. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the 2025 formula rate plan filing.

The volume/weather variance is primarily due to the effect of less favorable weather on residential sales, a decrease in weather-adjusted residential usage, and a decrease in commercial usage, partially offset by an increase in industrial usage. The increase in industrial usage is primarily due to an increase in demand from large industrial customers, primarily in the primary metals and technology industries.

Total electric energy sales for Entergy Arkansas for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are as follows:

See Note 12 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of Entergy Arkansas’s operating revenues.

Other operation and maintenance expenses increased primarily due to an increase of $6.9 million in power delivery expenses primarily due to higher vegetation maintenance costs and increased contract labor costs, partially offset by a decrease of $6.2 million in insurance expenses primarily due to higher nuclear insurance refunds.

Taxes other than income taxes increased primarily due to increases in ad valorem taxes resulting from higher assessments and millage rate increases.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased primarily due to additions to plant in service and an increase in FERC jurisdictional depreciation rates effective January 2026.

Entergy Arkansas records a regulatory charge or credit for the difference between asset retirement obligation-related expenses and nuclear decommissioning trust earnings plus asset retirement obligation-related costs collected in revenue.

Other income increased primarily due to changes in decommissioning trust fund activity, including portfolio rebalancing of decommissioning trust funds in first quarter 2026.

•the issuances of $500 million of 5.75% Series mortgage bonds and $500 million of 4.95% Series mortgage bonds, each in January 2026;

•the issuance of $300 million of 5.45% Series mortgage bonds in May 2025; and

•$3.8 million in carrying costs in first quarter 2026 on retained net proceeds from the monetization of nuclear production tax credits.

The effective income tax rate was 17.6% for the first quarter 2026. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2026 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the amortization of excess accumulated deferred income taxes, certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items, and book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction, partially offset by the accrual for state income taxes.

The effective income tax rate was 21% for the first quarter 2025. The accrual for state income taxes was offset by certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items and the amortization of excess state accumulated deferred income taxes as a result of tax rate changes.

Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to higher collections from customers and the receipt of $48.7 million in advance payments related to customer agreements in first quarter 2026. The increase was substantially offset by higher fuel and purchased power payments and the timing of payments to vendors. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery.

Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $257.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:

•an increase of $128.0 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending on the Ironwood Power Station project and the Jefferson Power Station project;

•an increase of $31.8 million in nuclear construction expenditures primarily due to increased spending on various nuclear projects in 2026;

•net purchases of $50.2 million in 2026 compared to net proceeds of $12.3 million in 2025 as a result of fluctuations in nuclear fuel activity due to variations from year to year in the timing and pricing of fuel reload requirements, materials and services deliveries, and the timing of cash payments during the nuclear fuel cycle; 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 $21.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to increasing by $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. 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 Arkansas’s financing activities provided $457.8 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to using $45.8 million of cash for three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to the following activity:

•the issuances of $500 million of 5.75% Series mortgage bonds and $500 million of 4.95% Series mortgage bonds, each in January 2026;

•net long-term borrowings of $45.4 million in 2026 compared to net repayments of $17.1 million in 2025 on the nuclear fuel company variable interest entity’s credit facility;

•an increase of $40.5 million in net customer advances for construction related to transmission, distribution, and generator interconnection agreements;

•money pool activity; and

•the repayment, prior to maturity, of $600 million of 3.5% Series mortgage bonds in February 2026.

Decreases in Entergy Arkansas’s payable to the money pool are a use of cash flow, and Entergy Arkansas’s payable to the money pool decreased $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

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

Entergy Arkansas’s debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table. The increase in the debt to capital ratio for Entergy Arkansas is primarily due to the net issuance of long-term debt in 2026.

Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of short-term borrowings, finance lease obligations, 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 Arkansas 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 Arkansas’s financial condition. The net debt to net capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure. Entergy Arkansas 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 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.

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

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

Entergy Arkansas has a credit facility in the amount of $300 million scheduled to expire in June 2030. Entergy Arkansas also has a $25 million credit facility scheduled to expire in April 2028. The $300 million credit facility includes fronting commitments for the issuance of letters of credit against $5 million of the borrowing capacity of the facility. As of March 31, 2026, there were no cash borrowings under either credit facility and no letters of credit outstanding under the $300 million credit facility. In addition, Entergy Arkansas is a party to two uncommitted letter of credit facilities as a means to post collateral to support its obligations to MISO. As of March 31, 2026, $89.6 million in letters of credit were outstanding under Entergy Arkansas’s uncommitted letter of credit facilities. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the credit facilities.

The Entergy Arkansas nuclear fuel company variable interest entity has a credit facility in the amount of $80 million scheduled to expire in June 2027. As of March 31, 2026, there were $59.1 million in loans outstanding under the credit facility for the Entergy Arkansas nuclear fuel company variable interest entity. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for discussion of the nuclear fuel company variable interest entity credit facility.

Jefferson Power Station

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in August 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed an application with the APSC seeking a certificate of environmental compatibility and public need for the construction and operation of Jefferson Power Station, an approximately 754 MW natural gas-fired combined cycle combustion turbine facility to be located in Jefferson County, Arkansas. The estimated cost of the project is $1,602 million. In January 2026 the APSC issued its order finding that Entergy Arkansas had demonstrated a need for the resource but had not met its burden with respect to supporting the prudence of the costs to construct the resource. The APSC acknowledged that the costs would be greater if Entergy Arkansas waited to pursue the resource. The APSC authorized Entergy Arkansas to proceed with Jefferson Power Station as a strategic investment with estimated costs set at a benchmark, which the APSC erroneously believed reflected the current cost estimate but was, in fact, $90 million below the cost presented. In its January 2026 order, the APSC also approved Entergy Arkansas’s recovery of the costs of constructing Jefferson Power Station through the Generating Arkansas Jobs Act rider. Additionally, in its January 2026 order, the APSC found that Entergy Arkansas should conduct all-source competitive solicitations for future generation additions, with limited exceptions where Entergy Arkansas believes that a specific solicitation should be restricted to a certain resource and provides a detailed explanation to the APSC supporting this belief, which the APSC later confirmed in its March 2026 order that this is a narrow exception. In February 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed for rehearing seeking to correct the benchmark. In March 2026 the APSC issued an order denying Entergy Arkansas’s petition and maintained the benchmark, although costs over the benchmark were not found to be disallowed. Also in its March 2026 order, the APSC ordered Entergy Arkansas to submit a draft of an all-source request for proposals within thirty days of the order, which Entergy Arkansas filed in April 2026. Also in March 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed with the APSC its proposal for an independent monitor to oversee the reasonableness of its construction costs, as required by the APSC order. In April 2026 the APSC issued an order consolidating Entergy Arkansas’s cost independent monitor proposals for three pending resources, including Jefferson Power Station, into a single docket and directing parties with full intervention status to respond to the proposals and recommend independent monitor candidates.

Special Rate Contract and Arkansas Cypress Solar

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in September 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed an application with the APSC seeking a certificate of environmental compatibility and public need for the construction and operation of the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility, a planned 600 MW solar photovoltaic array with a 350 MW battery energy storage system and associated transmission facilities interconnecting at Entergy Arkansas’s White Bluff substation. The estimated cost of the project is $1,602 million. In March 2026 the APSC approved the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility and Entergy Arkansas’s recovery of the costs of the facility through the Generating Arkansas Jobs Act rider. The APSC also ordered implementation of an independent monitor to oversee costs. In April 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed with the APSC its proposal for an independent monitor to oversee the reasonableness of costs. In April 2026 the APSC issued an order consolidating Entergy Arkansas’s cost independent monitor proposals for three pending resources, including the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility, into a single docket and directing parties with full intervention status to respond to the proposals and recommend independent monitor candidates. The facility is expected to be in service by the end of 2028.

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.

2026 Base Rate Case

In February 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed with the APSC a general change in rates, charges, and tariffs. The filing requested a base rate increase to recover a base rate revenue deficiency of $44.6 million and notified the APSC of Entergy Arkansas’s intent to implement a forward test year formula rate plan pursuant to Arkansas legislation passed in 2015. The primary drivers of the revenue deficiency were increased depreciation expense and the impact of net capital additions. Additionally, the filing requested a 9.90% return on common equity and increased depreciation rates as the result of a depreciation study. In March 2026 the APSC issued an order suspending the proposed rates and tariffs filed by Entergy Arkansas and will establish a procedural schedule by subsequent order.

Generating Arkansas Jobs Act Rider

In March 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed its first annual update to the strategic investment recovery rider, requesting recovery of $110.4 million of financing costs during construction of generation and transmission strategic investments related to Ironwood Power Station, Jefferson Power Station, and the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility. The revised rates are requested to be effective for bills rendered on the first billing cycle of June 2026. In April 2026 the APSC general staff filed testimony arguing that the APSC had not issued an order designating Ironwood Power Station as a strategic investment and that related costs should therefore be removed from the annual update. Also in April 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed testimony asserting that the APSC general staff’s position is contrary to the plain language of the statute, which includes an exception for facilities like Ironwood Power Station that were certified by the APSC within a certain timeframe. A hearing was held in April 2026.

Production Tax Credit Tariff

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K, in January 2026 the APSC opened a docket to investigate the sale of Entergy Arkansas’s nuclear production tax credits and the appropriate ratemaking treatment of production tax credits for all of Entergy Arkansas’s eligible resources, including how the proceeds of any sales should flow through to customers. As directed by the APSC, in February 2026, Entergy Arkansas submitted a compliance filing to the APSC verifying the status of the solar production tax credits. The filing also verified that the net proceeds from the sale of the nuclear production tax credits were recorded in FERC accounts that are accruing a return for customers’ benefit at a rate that is above the customer deposit rate. Subsequently, in March 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed testimony setting forth its proposal for the solar production tax credits. Specifically, Entergy Arkansas requested the same ratemaking treatment for all of the solar facilities that the APSC already approved for Walnut Bend (i.e., the total net monetized proceeds from production tax credits expected to be generated over the first ten years of a solar facility’s operation are estimated and then amortized over the expected useful life of the asset, which is typically 30 years). Additionally, consistent with prior orders for these resources, the deferred tax asset balances associated with both the production tax credits and the tax gross-up of the regulatory liability will be recognized as a reduction to the overall accumulated deferred income tax liability balance in Entergy Arkansas’s calculation of its weighted average cost of capital providing a return on the unamortized balance for the benefit of customers. Further, Entergy Arkansas proposes to flow the benefits of the solar production tax credits to customers through Entergy Arkansas’s formula rate plan, effective with the formula rate plan rates that will go into effect January 1, 2027. Entergy Arkansas’s proposal would result in the benefits of the production tax credits being passed through to customers, if approved, as reductions in revenue requirement evenly over the life of the assets, rather than only during the 10-year period in which the production tax credits are generated. In April 2026 the APSC general staff filed testimony proposing an amortization period of no more than 15 years for the monetized proceeds for the tax credits associated with the West Memphis Solar and Driver Solar facilities. An evidentiary hearing is scheduled for July 2026.

Energy Cost Recovery Rider

In March 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed its annual redetermination of its energy cost rate pursuant to the energy cost recovery rider, which reflected an increase in the rate from $0.01333 per kWh to $0.01508 per kWh. The primary reason for the rate increase was an under-recovered balance as a result of higher natural gas prices in 2025. Based on circumstances related to ANO 2’s refueling outage, Entergy Arkansas made an adjustment to projected energy costs to phase-in the rate increase gradually. The redetermined rate of $0.01508 per kWh became effective with the first billing cycle in April 2026 through the normal operation of the tariff.

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

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 Arkansas’s accounting for nuclear decommissioning costs, utility regulatory accounting, taxation and uncertain tax positions, qualified pension and other postretirement benefits, and other contingencies.

ENTERGY LOUISIANA, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

See the “Winter Storm Fern” section of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis for a discussion of Winter Storm Fern. Entergy Louisiana’s current estimate for the cost of mobilizing crews and restoring power is approximately $250 million, including approximately $215 million in capital costs and approximately $35 million in non-capital costs. Natural gas purchases for Entergy Louisiana were $256 million in January 2026 compared to $115 million in January 2025. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for discussion of fuel cost recovery at Entergy Louisiana.

Net income increased $21.7 million primarilydue to a higher return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments, higher retail electric price, higher volume/weather, and higher other income. The increase was partially offset by higher interest expense, higher depreciation and amortization expenses, and higher taxes other than income taxes.

Entergy Louisiana’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 return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments variance represents the revenue related to the amortization of certain customer advances designed to provide a return on investment in construction work in progress for certain utility plant investment, which is recognized as the related costs are incurred.

The retail electric price variance is primarily due toincreases in the resilience plan cost recovery rider effective March 2025 and March 2026. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein for discussion of the resilience plan cost recovery rider filings.

The volume/weather variance is primarily due to an increase in industrial usage, partially offset by the effect of less favorable weather on residential sales. The increase in industrial usage is primarily due to an increase in demand from large industrial customers, primarily in the petroleum refining, solar technology, and agricultural chemicals industries, partially offset by a decrease in demand from large industrial customers in the chlor-alkali and industrial gases industries. The increase in industrial usage is also primarily due to an increase in demand from co-generation customers.

The effect of sale of natural gas distribution business variance represents the decrease in operating revenues resulting from the absence of natural gas revenues following the sale of the natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy Louisiana natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.

Total electric energy sales for Entergy Louisiana for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are as follows:

See Note 12 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of Entergy Louisiana’s operating revenues.

Other operation and maintenance expenses increased slightly primarily due to:

•an increase of $5.2 million in compensation and benefits costs primarily due to a revision to estimated incentive-based compensation expense in first quarter 2025;

•an increase of $3.1 million in power delivery expenses primarily due toa higher scope of work performed in 2026 as compared to 2025 and increased contract labor costs; and

•several individually insignificant items.

The increase was partially offset by:

•a decrease of $6.1 million in loss provisions;

•a decrease of $4.4 million in non-nuclear generation expenses primarily due to a lower scope of work performed during plant outages in 2026 as compared to 2025; and

•a decrease of $4.0 million in insurance expenses primarily due to higher nuclear insurance refunds.

Taxes other than income taxes increased primarily due to increases in ad valorem taxes resulting from higher assessments.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased primarily due to additions to plant in service, an increase in FERC jurisdictional depreciation rates effective January 2026, and an increase in nuclear depreciation rates effective September 2025 in accordance with the global stipulated settlement agreement approved by the LPSC in August 2024. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the global stipulated settlement agreement.

Entergy Louisiana records a regulatory charge or credit for the difference between asset retirement obligation-related expenses and nuclear decommissioning trust earnings plus asset retirement obligation-related costs collected in revenue.

Other income increased primarily due to:

•changes in decommissioning trust fund activity, including portfolio rebalancing of the River Bend decommissioning trust fund in first quarter 2026;

•an increase of $6.5 million in the amortization of tax gross-up on customer advances, including customer advances for construction; and

•an increase in the allowance for equity funds used during construction due to higher construction work in progress in 2026.

The increase was offset by a decrease of $4.5 million in affiliated dividend income from affiliated preferred membership interests related to storm cost securitizations. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the storm cost securitizations.

•an increase of $9.8 million in carrying costs on customer advances, including customer advances for construction;

•the issuances of $750 million of 5.65% Series mortgage bonds and $750 million of 4.90% Series mortgage bonds, each in February 2026; and

•$4.1 million in carrying costs in first quarter 2026 on retained net proceeds from the monetization of nuclear production tax credits.

The increase was partially offset by the repayment of $250 million of 4.44% Series mortgage bonds in January 2026.

The effective income tax rate was 15.5% for the first quarter 2026. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2026 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the book and tax differences related to the non-taxable income distributions earned on preferred membership interests, the amortization of excess accumulated deferred income taxes, book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction, and certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items, partially offset by the accrual for state income taxes.

The effective income tax rate was 17.5% for the first quarter 2025. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2025 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the book and tax differences related to the non-taxable income distributions earned on preferred membership interests, book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction, and certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items, partially offset by the accrual for state income taxes.

Sale of Natural Gas Distribution Business

See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy Louisiana natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.

Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $33.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:

•an increase of $87.1 million in receipts of advance payments related to customer agreements, including $80.6 million in customer advances and $6.5 million in tax gross-up on customer advances for construction;

•higher collections from customers; and

•a decrease of $17.9 million in spending on nuclear refueling outage costs in 2026 as compared to 2025.

The increase was partially offset by higher fuel and purchased power payments and the timing of payments to vendors. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery.

Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $252.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:

•an increase of $260.5 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending on the Richland Parish Power Station Units 1 and 2 project, the Waterford 5 Power Station project, and the Waterford 6 Power Station project;

•an increase of $100.3 million in transmission construction expenditures primarily due to higher capital expenditures as a result of increased investment in the resilience of the transmission system and higher spending on the Amite South transmission projects and on various other transmission projects in 2026;

•an increase of $64.6 million in capital expenditures related to storm restoration primarily due to Winter Storm Fern. See “Winter Storm Fern” above for discussion of storm restoration efforts in 2026; and

•the receipt of $33.5 million from the storm reserve escrow account in first quarter 2025. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of the storm reserve funds.

The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $100.5 million in nuclear construction expenditures primarily due to decreased spending on various nuclear projects in 2026 and a decrease in cash used of $118.2 million as a result of fluctuations in nuclear fuel activity due to variations from year to year in the timing and pricing of fuel reload requirements, materials and services deliveries, and the timing of cash payments during the nuclear fuel cycle.

Net cash flow provided by financing activities increased $616 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:

•the issuances of $750 million of 5.65% Series mortgage bonds and $750 million of 4.90% Series mortgage bonds, each in February 2026;

•the repayment, prior to maturity, of $190 million of 3.78% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025;

•the repayment, prior to maturity, of $110 million of 3.78% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025; and

•$36.3 million in common equity distributions paid in 2025 in order to maintain Entergy Louisiana’s capital structure. No common equity distributions were paid in 2026.

The increase was partially offset by:

•the issuance of $750 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in January 2025;

•the repayment of $250 million of 4.44% Series mortgage bonds in January 2026;

•net repayments of $21.3 million in 2026 compared to net long-term borrowings of $100 million in 2025 on the nuclear fuel company variable interest entities’ credit facilities; and

•a decrease of $93.6 million in net customer advances for construction related to transmission, distribution, and generator interconnection agreements.

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

Entergy Louisiana’s debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table. The increase in the debt to capital ratio for Entergy Louisiana is primarily due to the net issuance of long-term debt in 2026.

Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of short-term borrowings, finance lease obligations, 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 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. The net debt to net capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure. Entergy Louisiana 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 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 on hand.

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

Following are the current annual amounts of Entergy Louisiana’s planned construction and other capital investments.

The updated capital plan for 2026-2029 reflects incremental capital investments for potential generation projects, primarily related to resources identified in Entergy Louisiana’s application filed with the LPSC in March 2026 as discussed below in “Additional Generation and Transmission Resources”. In addition to routine capital spending to maintain operations, the capital plan for Entergy Louisiana includes investments in generation projects to modernize, decarbonize, expand, and diversify Entergy Louisiana’s portfolio, as well as to support customer growth, including Segno Solar, Votaw Solar, Bogalusa West Solar, Cypress Harvest Solar, Franklin Farms Power Station Units 1 and 2, Waterford 5 Power Station, Cottonwood Power Station, Westlake Power Station, Richland Parish Units 1-4, Pointe Coupee Units 1-3, and other new generation resources; investments in River Bend and Waterford 3; distribution and Utility support spending to improve reliability, resilience, and customer experience; transmission spending to improve reliability and resilience while also supporting customer growth and renewables expansion; and other investments. The planned construction and capital investments amounts above exclude investments expected to be funded with customer advances for construction.

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

Entergy Louisiana has a credit facility in the amount of $400 million scheduled to expire in June 2030. The credit facility includes fronting commitments for the issuance of letters of credit against $15 million of the borrowing capacity of the facility. As of March 31, 2026, there were no cash borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the credit facility. In addition, Entergy Louisiana is a party to two uncommitted letter of credit facilities as a means to post collateral to support its obligations to MISO. As of March 31, 2026, $118 million in letters of credit were outstanding under Entergy Louisiana’s uncommitted letter of credit facilities. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the credit facilities.

The Entergy Louisiana nuclear fuel company variable interest entities have two separate credit facilities, each in the amount of $105 million and scheduled to expire in June 2027. As of March 31, 2026, $39.5 million in loans were outstanding under the credit facility for the Entergy Louisiana River Bend nuclear fuel company variable interest entity and $33.2 million in loans were outstanding under the credit facility for the Entergy Louisiana Waterford 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 facilities.

Renewables

Cypress Harvest Solar

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in February 2026, Entergy Louisiana filed an application seeking LPSC approval and certification for the Cypress Harvest Solar facility, a 200 MW solar facility to be located in Iberville Parish, Louisiana. In March 2026 the LPSC staff filed an affidavit attesting that the Cypress Harvest Solar Facility meets the applicable parameters for Entergy Louisiana’s expedited certification process and recommending that the LPSC grant certification. At its April 2026 meeting, the LPSC voted to grant the requested approval and certification. The facility is expected to be in service by 2028.

Other Generation and Transmission

Additional Generation and Transmission Resources

See the Form 10-K for discussion of Entergy Louisiana’s October 2024 application with the LPSC seeking approval of a variety of generation and transmission resources proposed in connection with establishing service to a new data center to be developed by a subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc. in north Louisiana, for which an electric service agreement was previously executed.

In March 2026, Entergy Louisiana entered into an electric service agreement with Evest LLC (Evest), a subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc., in connection with establishing service to a second new data center to be developed by Evest in north Louisiana. The obligations pursuant to the agreement will commence following construction of certain transmission facilities needed to serve Evest, and the effectiveness of the agreement is conditioned upon receipt of required governmental approvals, including approval from the LPSC. Also in March 2026, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC for certification to construct seven new combined cycle combustion turbine generation resources totaling 5,278 MW at a total cost of approximately $12.9 billion, each of which will be enabled for future carbon capture and storage, and three battery energy storage systems, including two that will be co-located with solar resources at the Cypress Harvest Solar Facility in Iberville Parish and the Bogalusa West Solar Facility in Washington Parish. The application also seeks approval to construct a new 500 kV transmission line, from West Fork Creek to St. Landry, estimated to cost $1.4 billion, and other related transmission facilities. Four of the new combined cycle combustion turbine generation resources are to be located near the customer site in north Louisiana (Richland Parish Units 1-4), while the remaining three units will be located near the existing Big Cajun site in Pointe Coupee Parish (Pointe Coupee Units 1-3). The seven new combined cycle combustion turbine generation resources have various estimated in-service dates in 2030 and 2031. The application also requests certain approvals related to a corporate sustainability agreement with the new customer. The corporate sustainability agreement contemplates the new customer contributing to the costs of the future addition of 2,500 MW of new renewable and energy storage resources, agreements involving nuclear-related efforts and contributions to bill assistance and other programs for low-income residents. Entergy Louisiana anticipates recovering the incremental cost to serve the customer through direct financial contributions from the customer and the revenues it expects to earn under the electric service agreement. The application is pending before the LPSC. At its April 2026 meeting, the LPSC voted to direct the administrative hearings division to adopt a procedural schedule that would allow for LPSC consideration of the matter at its December 2026 meeting, and also to have the administrative hearings division serve as a hearing examiner and compile a record for the LPSC to consider without the issuance of a formal recommendation from the ALJ.

The electric service agreement and related contracts contain provisions that protect Entergy Louisiana’s current customers in a manner consistent with the LPSC’s Lightning Initiative and Entergy Louisiana’s Fair Share Plus guidelines, which the LPSC and Entergy Louisiana, respectively, developed in response to increased investment in large data centers in Louisiana. The protections include terms requiring the customer to pay Entergy Louisiana’s incremental costs to serve the customer, including through contributions in aid of construction, other advanced payments and minimum monthly bills. The agreements also include specified financial obligations in the event that Evest terminates the contracts early, restructures the project, or in the event of default. These specified financial obligations would be based on Entergy Louisiana’s unrecovered incremental costs to serve Evest at the time of such an event. Evest’s obligations under the electric service agreement and related contracts are secured by various forms of collateral, including a guaranty from Meta Platforms, Inc.

Finally, the electric service agreement also includes provisions relating to Entergy Louisiana’s performance obligations, including the timely construction of the facilities supporting service to Evest, audit rights for the construction costs supported by Evest, and service standards during the term of the electric service agreement. Entergy Louisiana’s failure to meet one or more of these performance obligations could result in specified financial and/or non-financial penalties. Such penalties would vary based on the nature and severity of the failure, including the potential termination of the electric service agreement.

Babel - Webre 500 kV Transmission Project

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in December 2025, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC seeking a certificate of public convenience and necessity for a 500 kV transmission project that includes the construction of a new 147-mile Babel to Webre 500 kV transmission line, the reconstruction of the Webre 500 kV switching station in Louisiana, and coordination with Entergy Texas on the construction of an approximately 4-mile 500 kV transmission line in Texas. The project was approved by MISO in the 2025 MISO Transmission Expansion Plan and has an estimated cost of $1,238 million and an estimated in-service date of August 2029. A procedural schedule has been set with a hearing scheduled for September 2026. Discovery is ongoing.

Waterford 6 Power Station and Westlake Power Station

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in February 2026, Entergy Louisiana filed an application seeking LPSC approval and certification to construct two 754 MW combined cycle combustion turbine generators, the Waterford 6 Power Station and the Westlake Power Station, to be located at Entergy Louisiana’s existing Waterford site near Killona, Louisiana and existing Roy S. Nelson site in Westlake, Louisiana, respectively. In its application, Entergy Louisiana noted the estimated costs are approximately $2,027 million for the Waterford 6 Power Station and $2,091 million for the Westlake Power Station. As described in the application, Entergy Louisiana is considering a third-party financing approach for the Waterford 6 Power Station. Entergy Louisiana asked that the LPSC consider the requests in the application at or before its December 2026 meeting. A procedural schedule has been set with hearings scheduled in October and November 2026. The estimated in-service dates for the Waterford 6 Power Station and Westlake Power Station are July 2030 and October 2030, respectively.

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.

Resilience Plan Cost Recovery Rider

In December 2022, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC seeking a public interest finding regarding Phase I of Entergy Louisiana’s Future Ready resilience plan and approval of a rider mechanism to recover the program’s costs. Phase I in the December 2022 application reflected the first five years of a ten-year resilience plan and included investment of approximately $5 billion, including hardening investment, transmission dead-end structures, enhanced vegetation management, and telecommunications improvement. In April 2024 the LPSC approved a framework which includes an initial five-year resilience plan providing for an investment of approximately $1.9 billion with cost recovery via a forward-looking rider with semi-annual true-ups. The plan is subject to specified reporting requirements and includes a performance review of the hardened assets. The LPSC order approving the framework does not include any restrictions on Entergy Louisiana’s ability to file applications for approval of additional investments in resilience.

In January 2025, Entergy Louisiana’s semi-annual filing sought to collect from Entergy Louisiana’s retail customers approximately $40.4 million, or $38.9 million in incremental annual revenues from Entergy Louisiana’s first semi-annual filing in July 2024, for projects expected to be placed in service during the rate-effective period of March 2025 through August 2025. In February 2025 the LPSC staff reviewed the filed rider rates and identified no material issues.

In July 2025, Entergy Louisiana’s semi-annual filing sought to collect from Entergy Louisiana’s retail customers approximately $50.2 million, or $9.8 million in incremental annual revenues, for projects expected to be placed in service during the rate-effective period of September 2025 through February 2026. Additionally, Entergy Louisiana’s true-up filing included an under-recovery totaling $5.6 million to be implemented in the January 2026 semi-annual filing. In August 2025 the LPSC staff reviewed the filed rider rates and identified no material issues.

In January 2026, Entergy Louisiana’s semi-annual filing sought to collect from Entergy Louisiana’s retail customers approximately $101.8 million, or $51.6 million in incremental annual revenues, for projects expected to be placed in service during the rate-effective period of March 2026 through August 2026. Additionally, Entergy Louisiana’s true-up filing included an over-recovery totaling $16.6 million to be implemented in the July 2026 semi-annual filing. In February 2026 the LPSC staff reviewed the filed rider rates and identified no material issues.

Fuel and purchased power cost recovery

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in June 2025 the LPSC staff provided notice of an audit of Entergy Louisiana’s purchased gas adjustment clause filings (for Entergy Louisiana’s gas operations). The audit includes a review of the reasonableness of charges flowed through Entergy Louisiana’s purchased gas adjustment clause for the period from January 2023 through June 2025. The LPSC staff issued its audit report in March 2026, and although certain internal record keeping recommendations were made, the LPSC staff did not recommend any disallowances. The next step is for the LPSC to issue its final report, but there is no deadline or timing requirement associated with the issuance of the final report.

In February 2026, Entergy Louisiana, in its monthly filing to update its fuel adjustment clause, requested to defer approximately $141.9 million of fuel costs incurred in January 2026 that were primarily attributable to the effects of Winter Storm Fern, consistent with the LPSC’s general order approved at its February 2026 meeting permitting temporary modifications to the LPSC’s fuel adjustment clause general order. The filing proposes to defer the recovery of these fuel costs over a four-month period from March 2026 through June 2026 to mitigate the customer bill impacts of these fuel costs.

In April 2026 the LPSC staff provided notice of an audit of Entergy Louisiana’s fuel adjustment clause filings. The audit includes a review of the reasonableness of charges flowed through Entergy Louisiana’s fuel adjustment clause for the period from 2023 through 2025.

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 Louisiana’s accounting for nuclear decommissioning costs, utility regulatory accounting, taxation and uncertain tax positions, qualified pension and other postretirement benefits, and other contingencies.
