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 2024 and is inclusive of our CSM, ETR Adjusted EPS, set forth in column (i) of the PVP Table. Please see the CD&A for a further description of the performance measures used in the Company’s 2024 annual and long-term incentive programs.

ETR Adjusted EPS

Non-GAAP Measure Description

The information reported in column (i) reports ETR Adjusted EPS, our Company Selected Measure (CSM), for the prior five completed fiscal years. ETR 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 eliminate the effect of the Pre-Determined Exclusions (as defined within the CD&A). We have designated ETR Adjusted EPS as our CSM as we believe it represents our most important financial measure (aside from TSR) used to link CAP to the Company’s NEOs to Company performance for the most recently completed fiscal year. ETR Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure; a reconciliation can be found within Appendix A. See "2024 Annual Incentive Program Performance Measures and Methodology" of the CD&A for additional information on this non-GAAP financial measure.

Award Timing Disclosure	Dec. 31, 2024
Award Timing Disclosures [Line Items]
Award Timing MNPI Disclosure	Policies and Practices Related to the Timing of Grants of Certain Equity Awards The Talent and Compensation Committee and senior management monitor the Company’s equity grant practices to evaluate whether such policies comply with governing regulations and are consistent with good corporate practices. When making regular annual equity grants, including stock options, the Talent and Compensation Committee’s practice is to approve them at its meeting in late January or in the first week of February of each year, which is near the beginning of the Company's fiscal year, as part of the annual compensation review. In addition, the Talent and Compensation Committee may make grants at other times during the year for new hires or for other reasons, including, for example, job promotions, for retention purposes. Because the Talent and Compensation Committee’s regular meeting schedule is generally determined in the prior fiscal year, and as noted above, the Company generally makes annual equity awards to our NEOs at approximately the same time each year, the proximity of any awards to other significant corporate events is coincidental. We do not time our equity awards to take advantage of the release of earnings or other major announcements by us or market conditions. During 2024, no stock option grants were made to any of our NEOs during any period beginning four business days before the filing or furnishing of a periodic report or current report and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of any such report with the SEC.
