Performance Measures Used to Link Company Performance and Compensation Actually Paid to the NEOs

The following is a list of performance measures, which in our assessment represent the most important performance measures used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the NEOs for 2023 and is inclusive of our CSM, ETR Tax Adjusted EPS, set forth in column (i) of the PVP Table. As described in the CD&A, we supplement our financial performance measures with non-financial measures relating to Safety, Customer NPS, DIB, and Environmental Stewardship to demonstrate Entergy’s strong commitment to more directly link executive compensation to successful execution on our strategies. Please see the CD&A for a further description of the financial metrics listed below as well as the non-financial metrics used in the Company’s 2023 annual incentive program.

Name

ETR Tax Adjusted EPS

Non-GAAP Measure Description

The information reported in column (i) reports ETR Tax Adjusted EPS, our Company Selected Measure (CSM), for the prior four completed fiscal years. ETR Tax Adjusted EPS is based on the Company’s Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure which is the earnings measure by which we provide external guidance, and excludes the effects of certain adjustments, which are unusual or non-recurring items or events or other items or events that management believes do not reflect the ongoing business of Entergy, such as significant tax items, and other items such as certain costs, expenses, or other specified items. ETR Adjusted EPS is then adjusted to add back 50% of the net effect (positive or negative) of significant tax strategy items and to eliminate the effect of the Pre-Determined Exclusions (as defined earlier in the CD&A). We have designated ETR Tax Adjusted EPS as our CSM as we believe it represents our most important financial measure (aside from TSR) used to link compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs to Company performance for the most recently completed fiscal year. ETR Tax Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure. See "What We Pay and Why - 2023 Compensation Decisions - Annual Incentive Program Financial Measure and Target" for information regarding this non-GAAP financial measure.
