ENTERGY CORP /DE/

Entergy Corporation, Utility operating companies, and System Energy The reputation of Entergy or its Registrant Subsidiaries may be materially adversely affected by negative publicity or the inability to meet their stated goals, among other potential causes. Changes in tax legislation and taxation as well as the inherent difficulty in quantifying potential tax effects of business decisions could negatively impact Entergy’s and the Registrant Subsidiaries’ results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. Entergy and its subsidiaries’ ability to successfully execute on their business strategies, including their ability to execute on their growth strategies and to complete strategic transactions, is subject to significant risks, and, as a result, they may be unable to achieve some or all of the anticipated results of such strategies. The success of certain Utility operating companies’ investments in new generation and transmission assets to support large-scale data centers depends on a limited number of such customers, the continued demand for electricity to power data centers and the successful completion of the associated generation and transmission projects. Any reduction in the demand for electricity to power data centers or delays or unexpected costs associated with such projects may harm the growth prospects, future operating results and financial condition of Entergy and these Utility operating companies.
