Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
As a result of the settlement in principle described in Item 8.01 below, Entergy New Orleans, LLC’s (“Entergy New Orleans”) first quarter 2024 results will include a regulatory charge, and an increase in the associated regulatory liability, in the amount of $78 million to reflect an increase in customer sharing of income tax benefits from
the 2016–2018 IRS audit resolution. In fourth quarter 2023, Entergy New Orleans recorded a provision to reflect customer sharing of $60 million of income tax benefits. This will increase the total amount to be shared to $138 million. This item will be considered an “adjustment” to Entergy’s net income under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and therefore will not affect Entergy’s adjusted earnings per share (non-GAAP).
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
Entergy affirms its adjusted EPS and credit outlooks.
In this current report on Form 8-K, and from time to time, Entergy Corporation (“Entergy”)
and Entergy New Orleans make certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding Entergy’s current financial and operational outlooks; expected impacts to credit metrics and ratings; and other statements of Entergy’s or Entergy New Orleans’ plans, beliefs, or expectations included in this report. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, neither Entergy nor Entergy New Orleans undertakes any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of
risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements, including (a) those factors discussed elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K and in Entergy’s and Entergy New Orleans’ most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, any of its subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and any of its other subsequently filed reports and filings made under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (b) uncertainties associated with (1) Entergy’s, including Entergy New Orleans’ rate proceedings, formula rate plans, and other cost recovery mechanisms, including the risk that costs may not be recoverable to the extent or on the timeline anticipated by the utilities and (2) implementation of the ratemaking effects of changes in law; (c) legislative and regulatory actions and risks and uncertainties associated with claims or litigation by or against Entergy and its subsidiaries;
and (d) effects on Entergy, including Entergy New Orleans, or its customers of (1) changes in federal, state, or local laws and regulations and other governmental actions or policies, including changes in monetary, fiscal, tax, environmental, or energy policies; (2) the effects of changes in commodity markets, capital markets, or economic conditions; and (3) the effects of technological change, including the costs, pace of development, and commercialization of new and emerging technologies.
Item 8.01. Other Events
On April 18, 2024, Entergy New Orleans and the Council of the City of New Orleans entered into a settlement in principle whereby
Entergy New Orleans commits to increase the customer sharing of income tax benefits from the 2016–2018 IRS audit resolution from $60 million to $138 million (a $78 million increase). The settlement in principle also provides for the retail ratemaking treatment of the total customer credit.
