Earnings per share dilution resulting from stock options outstanding and other equity plans is determined under the treasury stock method. The calculation of diluted earnings per share excluded 366,136 stock options outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2025 because their effect would have been antidilutive. The calculation of diluted earnings per share excluded 149,415 stock options outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 305,113 stock options outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2025 because their effect would have been antidilutive. Until settlement of the forward sale agreements discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K and below in “Equity Distribution Program” and “Equity Forward Sale Agreements”, earnings per share dilution resulting from the agreements, if any, is determined under the treasury stock method. Share dilution occurs when the average market price of Entergy Corporation’s common stock is higher than the average forward sales price. The calculation of diluted earnings per share excluded 2,423,880 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 1,304,889 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2025 under forward sale agreements outstanding because their effect would have been antidilutive.
