ENTERGY MISSISSIPPI, 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 Mississippi’s cost of mobilizing crews and restoring power was approximately $155 million, including approximately $125 million in capital costs and approximately $30 million in non-capital costs. Natural gas purchases for Entergy Mississippi were $85 million in January 2026 compared to $28 million in January 2025.
The “Mississippi 2026 Severe Winter Storm Electric Utility Customer Relief and Electric Utility System Restoration Act” passed in Mississippi legislation in April 2026. This legislation provides that the MPSC may issue an electric utility financing order authorizing the issuance of system restoration bonds, the proceeds of which shall be used to securitize the system restoration costs and storm damage reserve levels of those utilities affected by Winter Storm Fern. The legislation requires that an electric utility affected by the storm must first petition the MPSC for such a financing order that complies with the requirements outlined in the legislation. The legislation states that any system restoration bonds issued under a financing order will not be considered debt of the electric utility. These bonds will only be backed by the system restoration property specified in the financing order. Entergy Mississippi plans to file for storm cost recovery under this legislation in third quarter 2026.
Net income increased $19.9 million primarily due to higher revenues resulting from the return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments, higher retail electric price, higher other income, and higher volume/weather. The increase was partially offset by higher interest expense and higher other operation and maintenance expenses.
Net income increased $57.4 million primarily due to higher retail electric price, higher revenues resulting from the return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments, a regulatory charge, recorded in the first quarter 2025, to reflect an adjustment to the grid modernization over/under recovery deferral balance, higher other income, and higher volume/weather. The increase was partially offset by higher interest expense and higher other operation and maintenance expenses.
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| (In Millions) | |
| 2025 operating revenues | $491.9 |
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | 29.7 |
| Return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments | 14.4 |
| Retail electric price | 14.3 |
| Volume/weather | 7.6 |
| 2026 operating revenues | $557.9 |
Entergy Mississippi’s results include revenues from rate mechanisms designed to recover fuel, purchased power, and other costs such that the revenues and expenses associated with these items generally offset and do not affect net income. “Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income” includes the revenue variance associated with these items.
The 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 investments, which is recognized as the related costs are incurred.
The retail electric price variance is primarily due toan increase in formula rate plan rates resulting from an increase in interim facilities rate adjustment revenues effective January 2026. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the interim facilities rate adjustment filing.
The volume/weather variance is primarily due to an increase in weather-adjusted residential usage and 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 data center industry.

| Total | 9,590 | 8,573 | 12 |
See Note 12 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of Entergy Mississippi’s operating revenues.
Other operation and maintenance expenses increased primarily due to an increase of $1.6 million in compensation and benefits costs primarily due to higher healthcare claims activity and the timing of the recognition of prescription drug rebates, an increase of $1.1 million in power delivery expenses primarily due to higher vegetation maintenance costs, and several individually insignificant items. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $1.2 million in storm damage provisions. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of storm cost recovery.
Other income increased primarily due to an increase of $7.9 million in the amortization of tax gross-up on customer advances, including customer advances for construction.
Interest expense increased primarily due to the issuance of $650 million of 5.05% Series mortgage bonds in March 2026.
an increase of $3.5 million in power delivery expenses primarily due to higher vegetation maintenance costs;
an increase of $1.7 million in compensation and benefits costs primarily due to higher healthcare claims activity, the timing of the recognition of prescription drug rebates, and a revision to estimated incentive-based compensation expense in 2025;
an increase of $1.3 million in energy efficiency costs; and
The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $2.7 million in storm damage provisions. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of storm cost recovery.
Other regulatory charges (credits) – net includes a regulatory charge of $21 million, recorded in first quarter 2025, to reflect an adjustment to the grid modernization over/under recovery deferral balance.
Other income increased primarily due to an increase of $8.1 million in the amortization of tax gross-up on customer advances, including customer advances for construction and an increase of $6.2 million in interest earned on money pool investments.
Interest expense increased primarily due to the issuance of $650 million of 5.05% Series mortgage bonds in March 2026 and the issuance of $600 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025.
The effective income tax rates were 24.4% for the second quarter 2026 and 24.5% for thesix months ended June 30, 2026. The differences in the effective income tax rates for thesecond quarter 2026 and thesix months ended June 30, 2026 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% were primarily due to the accrual for state income taxes, partially offset by certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items.
The effective income tax rates were 23.7% for the second quarter 2025 and 23.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The differences in the effective income tax ratesfor the second quarter 2025 and thesix months ended June 30, 2025 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% were primarily due to the accrual for state income taxes, partially offset by certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items.

Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $248.2 millionfor the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due toan increase of $158.5 million in receipts of advance payments related to customer agreements, including $133.8 million in customer advances and $24.7 million in tax gross-up on customer advances for construction, and higher collections from customers. The increase was partially offset by higher fuel and purchased power payments, the timing of payments to vendors, and an increase of $15.7 million in storm spending primarily due to Winter Storm Fern restoration efforts in 2026. See “Winter Storm Fern” above for discussion of storm restoration efforts in 2026. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery.
Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $217.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due toan increase of $179.6 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending on the Traceview Advanced Power Station project and an increase of $120.1 million in capital expenditures related to storm restoration primarily due to Winter Storm Fern restoration efforts in 2026. The increase was partially offset by money pool activity. See “Winter Storm Fern” above for discussion of storm restoration efforts in 2026.
Increases in Entergy Mississippi’s receivable from the money pool are a use of cash flow, and Entergy Mississippi’s receivable from the money pool increased $37 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to increasing by $93.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 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.
Net cash flow provided by financing activities increased $213.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to:
the issuance of $650 million of 5.05% Series mortgage bonds in March 2026;
an increase of $135.5 million in capital contributions received from Entergy Corporation in 2026 as compared to 2025 in order to maintain Entergy Mississippi’s capital structure; and
an increase of $26.8 million in net customer advances for construction related to transmission, distribution, and generator interconnection agreements.
The increase was partially offset bythe issuance of $600 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in March 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 Mississippi’s debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table. The increase in the debt to capital ratio for Entergy Mississippi is primarily due to the net issuance of long-term debt in 2026, partially offset by a capital contribution of $198 million received from Entergy Corporation in 2026.

|---|---|---|
| Debt to capital | 52.3% | 50.5% |
| Effect of subtracting cash | (6.4%) | (2.9%) |
| Net debt to net capital (non-GAAP) | 45.9% | 47.6% |
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 Mississippi 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 Mississippi’s financial condition. The net debt to net capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure.
Entergy Mississippi 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 Mississippi’s financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy Mississippi’s outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.

See “MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - 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 is an update to that discussion.
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 reflected no change in formula rate plan revenues. The 2025 look-back filing compared actual 2025 results to the approved benchmark return on rate base and reflected no change in formula rate plan revenues, although Entergy Mississippi proposed to adjust interim rates by $293 thousand to reflect one outside-the-bandwidth change, a true-up of demand side management costs.
In June 2026, Entergy Mississippi and the Mississippi Public Utilities Staff entered into a joint stipulation that confirmed the 2026 test year filing, with the exception of immaterial adjustments to certain operations and maintenance expenses. The formula rate plan reflected an earned return on rate base of 7.68% for calendar year 2026, resu lting in no change in formula rate plan revenues for 2026. Pursuant to the stipulation, Entergy Mississippi’s 2025 look-back filing reflected an earned return on rate base of 8.10%, which also resulted in no change in formula rate plan revenues for 2025. In addition, the stipulation included the recovery of the outside-the-bandwidth change discussed above as well as the ratemaking treatment of certain customer contributions, the mechanism for recovery of the benefits of nuclear production tax credits, and the realignment of the first project from the interim facilities rate adjustment to the formula rate plan. In June 2026 the MPSC approved the joint stipulation with rates effective in July 2026. See Note 10 to the financial statements herein for further discussion of the mechanism for recovery of the benefits of nuclear production tax credits included in the joint stipulation.

ENTERGY NEW ORLEANS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Net income decreased $2.7 million primarily due to the net effect of decreased natural gas revenues and expenses resulting from the sale of Entergy New Orleans’s natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025, lower volume/weather, and lower retail electric price, partially offset by lower interest expense. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.
Net income decreased $8.4 million primarily due to the net effect of decreased natural gas revenues and expenses resulting from the sale of Entergy New Orleans’s natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025, lower volume/weather, and lower retail electric price, partially offset by lower interest expense. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.

Entergy New Orleans’s results include revenues from rate mechanisms designed to recover fuel, purchased power, and other costs such that the revenues and expenses associated with these items generally offset and do not affect net income. “Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income” includes the revenue variance associated with these items.
The 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 New Orleans natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.
The volume/weather variance is primarily due to the effect of less favorable weather on residential and commercial sales, partially offset by an increase in weather-adjusted residential usage.
The retail electric price variance is primarily due to a decrease in formula rate plan rates effective September 2025 in accordance with the terms of the 2025 formula rate plan filing. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the formula rate plan filing.

See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased primarily due to the absence of depreciation and amortization expenses associated with natural gas plant in service 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 New Orleans natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.
Interest expense decreased primarily due to a decrease of $3.0 million in carrying costs on regulatory liability balances and the repayment of an $80 million unsecured term loan in July 2025.
Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased primarily due to:
a decrease of $5.9 million in gas operations expenses resulting from the absence of expenses 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 New Orleans natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025;
a decrease of $2.6 million in non-nuclear generation expenses primarily due to a lower scope of work performed, including during plant outages, in 2026 as compared to 2025;
a decrease of $1.1 million in loss provisions; and
a decrease of $1.0 million in compensation and benefits costs primarily due to the absence of employee benefit costs associated with gas operations 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 New Orleans natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.
Taxes other than income taxes decreased primarily due to a decrease in franchise fees as a result of lower retail revenues in 2026 as compared to 2025, including the absence of natural gas revenues in 2026 following the sale of Entergy New Orleans’s 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 New Orleans natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased primarily due to the absence of depreciation and amortization expenses associated with natural gas plant in service 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 New Orleans natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.
Interest expense decreased primarily due to a decrease of $6.1 million in carrying costs on regulatory liability balances and the repayment of an $80 million unsecured loan in July 2025.
The effective income tax rate was 23.2% for the second quarter 2026. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the second quarter 2026 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to a provision for uncertain tax positions and the accrual for state income taxes, partially offset by the amortization of excess accumulated deferred income taxes and certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items.
The effective income tax rate was 17.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the amortization of excess accumulated deferred income taxes and certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items, partially offset by a provision for uncertain tax positions and the accrual for state income taxes.
The effective income tax rates were 24.1% for the second quarter 2025 and 23.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The differences in the effective income tax rates for the second quarter 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2025 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% were primarily due to the accrual for state income taxes, partially offset by certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items.
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 New Orleans natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.
| 2026 | 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| (In Thousands) | ||
| Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period | $110,264 | $31,777 |
| Net cash provided by (used in): | ||
| Operating activities | 12,893 | 23,652 |
| Investing activities | (63,034) | (77,385) |
| Financing activities | 3,543 | 21,982 |
| Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents | (46,598) | (31,751) |
| Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | $63,666 | $26 |
Net cash flow provided by operating activities decreased $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to lower collections from customers and the timing of payments to vendors, partially offset by lower fuel and purchased power payments in 2026 as compared to 2025.
Net cash flow used in investing activities decreased $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to a decrease of $20.4 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to a lower scope of work performed in 2026 as compared to 2025 and a decrease of $9.9 million in gas operations construction expenditures resulting from the absence of construction expenditures following the sale of the natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $13.7 million in distribution construction expenditures primarily due to increased investment in the resilience of the distribution system and the receipt of $10.3 million from the storm reserve escrow account in 2025. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of Entergy New Orleans’s natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.
Net cash flow provided by financing activities decreased $18.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to:
the repayment of $85 million of 4% Series mortgage bonds in June 2026;
proceeds received in March 2025 from an $80 million unsecured term loan; and
money pool activity.
The decrease was partially offset by the issuances of $55 million of 6.65% Series mortgage bonds and $35 million of 5.91% Series mortgage bonds, each in May 2026, and the repayment, at maturity, of $78 million of 3.00% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025.
Decreases in Entergy New Orleans’s payable to the money pool are a use of cash flow, and Entergy New Orleans’s payable to the money pool increased $20.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The money pool is an intercompany cash management program that makes possible intercompany borrowing and lending arrangements, and the money pool and other borrowing arrangements are designed to reduce the Registrant Subsidiaries’ dependence on external short-term borrowings.
Entergy New Orleans’s debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table.
| June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Debt to capital | 51.3% | 52.1% |
| Effect of subtracting cash | (2.5%) | (4.6%) |
| Net debt to net capital (non-GAAP) | 48.8% | 47.5% |
Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of short-term borrowings, finance lease obligations, long-term debt, including the currently maturing portion, and the long-term payable due to an associated company. Capital consists of debt and equity. Net capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. Entergy New Orleans uses the debt to capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy New Orleans’s financial condition. The net debt to net capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure. Entergy New Orleans also uses the net debt to net capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy New Orleans’s financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy New Orleans’s outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.
See “MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS -Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the Form 10-K for a discussion of Entergy New Orleans’s uses and sources of capital. The following are updates to the information provided in the Form 10-K.
Following are updates to the current annual amounts of Entergy New Orleans’s planned construction and other capital investments through 2030.

Entergy New Orleans has a credit facility in the amount of $25 million scheduled to expire in June 2027. The credit facility includes fronting commitments for the issuance of letters of credit against $10 million of the borrowing capacity of the facility. As of June 30, 2026, there were no cash borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the credit facility. In addition, Entergy New Orleans is a party to an uncommitted letter of credit facility as a means to post collateral to support its obligations to MISO. As of June 30, 2026, a $0.5 million letter of credit was outstanding under Entergy New Orleans’s uncommitted letter of credit facility. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the credit facilities.
State and Local Rate Regulation
See “MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – State and Local Rate Regulation” in the Form 10-K for a discussion of state and local rate regulation. The following are updates to that discussion.
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.
In July 2026 the City Council’s advisors issued a report seeking a reduction in Entergy New Orleans’s requested formula rate plan revenues of approximately $4.4 million due to certain proposed cost realignments, imputation of revenues, and disallowances. The City Council’s advisors also recommended that Entergy New Orleans be permitted to collect $20 million over five years beginning in September 2026 to recover amounts that it might be required to pay Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Arkansas pursuant to a FERC order issued in June 2026, relating to an alleged MSS-4R violation. However, the FERC order is unclear on its face, and the specific amount of a payment, if any, is unknown. Requests for rehearing and clarification of the FERC order are pending. See “MSS-4 Replacement Tariff - Net Operating Loss Carryforward Proceeding” in Note 2 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the FERC order. If any rate adjustments are not resolved, the City Council would set a procedural schedule to resolve such disputes. A response by Entergy New Orleans to the advisors’ report is due in August 2026. Resulting rates will be effective with the first billing cycle of September 2026 pursuant to the formula rate plan tariff.
In July 2026, Entergy New Orleans submitted a motion requesting the City Council approve a four-year extension of its current formula rate plan, with all material provisions left unchanged, including the authorized return on equity of 9.35% with a bandwidth of 50 basis points above and below the midpoint. Entergy New Orleans has requested City Council action on the proposed extension by August 2026.
Distributed Energy Resource Program
As discussed in the Form 10-K, in October 2024 the City Council opened a docket to evaluate potential opportunities to increase the availability of distributed energy resources, battery storage, and related facilities in New Orleans. In December 2025 the City Council issued a resolution establishing a distributed energy resources program to be implemented and operated under the existing Energy Smart program, with $28 million in customer incentives available through credits funded by the settlement between System Energy and the City Council. In March 2026, Entergy New Orleans submitted to the City Council a proposed battery storage implementation plan for new residential and commercial battery systems that would phase such implementation over a three-year period beginning in 2026, with those systems participating in Energy Smart for seven additional years, as required by the City Council. Program costs will be offset by credits from the System Energy settlement, with no incremental impact on customer rates. An intervenor in the proceeding has challenged the plan submitted by Entergy New Orleans and seeks additional incentives for customers, including accelerated use of the credits. In July 2026 certain stakeholders submitted comments in support of that intervenor’s position. The procedural schedule provides that the City Council’s advisors will issue a report in August 2026. See “Complaints Against System Energy - System Energy Settlement with the City Council” in Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the System Energy settlement with the City Council.
See “MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – Federal Regulation” in the Form 10-K and Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for a discussion of federal regulation.
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 New Orleans’s accounting for utility regulatory accounting, taxation and uncertain tax positions, qualified pension and other postretirement benefits, and other contingencies.
