Entergy Provides Preliminary Third Quarter Earnings Guidance



NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 15, 2013  /PRNewswire/ -- Entergy Corporation (ETR) today indicated that it expects third quarter 2013 as-reported earnings of approximately $1.33 per share and operational earnings of approximately $2.40 per share. Results for third quarter 2012 were $1.89 per share on an as-reported basis and $1.95 per share on an operational basis. Entergy also affirmed previously issued operational earnings guidance for 2013.


(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120913/MM74349LOGO)


As-reported results are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are comprised of operational earnings (described below) and special items. Special items were recorded for:


  • the impairment and other related charges in third quarter 2013 arising out of the decision to close and decommission the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station at the end of its current operating cycle in 2014,

  • expenses associated with the implementation of the human capital management strategic imperative in third quarter 2013, and

  • expenses associated with the proposed spin-off and merger of Entergy's electric transmission business with ITC Holdings Corp. in the third quarters of 2012 and 2013.

Utility
The increase in Utility third quarter 2013 operational earnings was due primarily to higher net revenue and a lower effective income tax rate, partially offset by higher non-fuel operation and maintenance and depreciation expenses. The pricing adjustments in net revenue related largely to nuclear and combined-cycle natural gas-fired-generation investments placed in service around the end of 2012. Net revenue also reflected increased sales volume, partially offset by less favorable weather in the third quarter of 2013 compared to one year ago.


Entergy Wholesale Commodities
The quarter-over-quarter decrease in operational earnings at Entergy Wholesale Commodities was due primarily to higher non-fuel operation and maintenance and depreciation expenses, partially offset by a lower effective income tax rate on operational earnings. The depreciation expense increase was mostly driven by a prior period item. A one-time adjustment reducing depreciation expense was recorded last year for a favorable court decision on Indian Point Unit 2 litigation against the U.S. Department of Energy related to spent nuclear fuel disposal. EWC net revenue was essentially flat versus the third quarter of last year.


Parent & Other
Parent & Other results increased during the quarter due to lower income tax expense.


Earnings Guidance
Entergy affirmed its previously issued 2013 operational earnings guidance to be in the range of $4.60 to $5.40 per share, noting that current expectations point to around the middle of the range.

A replay of the teleconference will be available for seven days thereafter by dialing (719) 457-0820, confirmation code 8044514.

Joshua Marks, a former contestant on "MasterChef," committed suicide on Friday.

Joshua Marks, the 7-foot-2-inch runner-up on the Fox cooking show "MasterChef," committed suicide on Friday in Chicago, the Cook County Medical Examiner's office confirmed to TODAY.

The cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head.

Marks has been battling mental-health issues recently, and in late summer was taken to a Chicago-area medical facility after being arrested and charged with aggravated battery against a police officer. His lawyer told CNN that during that altercation, Marks "suffered serious facial wounds from a self-inflicted gunshot."

According to the Chicago Tribune's July report, the troubled chef felt that he had been "possessed by 'MasterChef' judge Gordon Ramsay who turned him into God."

Marks, who had bipolar disorder, had worked with the Make A Sound Project, a non-profit group that seeks to use music to raise awareness of issues related to suicide. 

On Saturday, Gordon Ramsay tweeted condolences. "Just heard the devastating news about Josh Marks," Ramsay wrote. "My thoughts are with his family & friends at this tragic time."

The "MasterChef" official website and Facebook page also remembered the contestant friends dubbed the "gentle giant," posting, "All of us at MasterChef, Shine America, One Potato, Two Potato and FOX are incredibly saddened by the news of Josh Marks' passing. He was a wonderful person and an incredible talent. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Marks came in second on the third season of "MasterChef" in 2012, losing to Christina Ha, the first-ever blind contestant.

Pats Stun Saints 30-27 On TD With 5 Seconds Left


FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Too bad all those Patriots fans who left Gillette Stadium in disgust when their team was down didn't wait a minute.


Because that's all Tom Brady needed.


Fans left in a half-empty stadium roared when the two-time NFL MVP threw the winning touchdown pass with 5 seconds left. They beat the traffic while the Patriots were beating the Saints, 30-27.


Coming off one of his worst games, Brady threw the decisive 17-yard pass to rookie free agent Kenbrell Thompkins, knocking New Orleans from the unbeaten ranks Sunday.


"Guys made big-time catches," Brady said. "It was just a great game."


Slowly but steadily, new pass catchers have made their mark after the Patriots lost their top five receivers from last season's highest-scoring NFL team. Now he's throwing to Thompkins, Aaron Dobson, Danny Amendola and Austin Collie.


"I have confidence in those guys," Brady said. "We're certainly not perfect out there. We're definitely just grinding."


Many fans had abandoned hope and left Gillette Stadium by the time the Patriots it out. But at Fenway Park, some 30 miles away, a big cheer went up at Game 2 of the AL championship series between the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers when Thompkins jumped for the winning pass.


"Coach Bill said that it might come down to the final seconds," Thompkins said. "You had to stick with the system. We just had to go out there and fight to the finish."


The Saints (5-1) had taken a 24-23 lead with 3:29 remaining on Drew Brees' 34-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Stills and the extra point, but couldn't put away New England.


The Patriots (5-1) survived an interception by Keenan Lewis on their first snap after Garrett Hartley's 39-yard field goal made it 27-23.


Brady started the winning 70-yard drive, with no timeouts, with completions of 23 yards to Julian Edelman, 15 to Collie and 6 to Dobson for a first down at the Saints 26. But he threw two incompletions before connecting with Collie for a 9-yard gain on fourth down and a first down at the 17.


He spiked the ball to stop the clock, then sent his receivers deep.


"We had everybody going to the end zone and (Thompkins) kind of snuck into the corner and I put it up there for him and he came down and made a great catch," Brady said.


Thompkins outfought cornerback Jabari Greer in the left side of the end zone.


"That's something that you'll replay in your mind for a long time," Greer said. "We fought hard, we're resilient, and it happens like that. For it to happen to me, I'll just have to bear the burden for this week."


The Patriots were headed for their second straight loss one week after the Cincinnati Bengals beat them 13-6. Brady's streak of 52 regular-season games with at least one touchdown pass ended in that defeat; Brees holds the NFL record with 54.


Brady completed 25 of 43 passes for 269 yards with one touchdown and one interception. It was the 38th time he'd led the Patriots to victory after trailing or being tied in the fourth quarter. One week earlier, he was just 18 for 38 for 197 yards and a passer rating of 52.2


New England continued the strong defense it's played all year by holding star tight end Jimmy Graham without a catch for the first time in 46 games, dating back to the middle of his rookie season in 2010. He limped off the field after Kyle Arrington intercepted a pass intended for him, but returned.


"The one thing they do a good job with is they disrupt you at the line of scrimmage really better than anyone," Saints coach Sean Payton said. "They do a really good job of getting hands on receivers and tight ends."


Add Brees: "This one's difficult because you certainly felt like you had a chance.


Breed completed 17 of 36 passes for 236 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.


Stevan Ridley ran for two touchdowns for a 17-7 halftime lead.


In the first half, the Patriots controlled the ball against New Orleans, which entered the game leading the NFL in time of possession. The Patriots scored on drives of 80, 66 and 60 yards one week after having just one drive of more than 35 yards in Cincinnati.


The Saints tied it by scoring on their first two possessions of the second half: a 28-yard field goal by Hartley and a 3-yard run by Khiry Robinson.


New England took a 3-0 lead on Stephen Gostkowski's 35-yard field goal on the first series of the game. New Orleans took its first lead on Brees' 3-yard pass to Travaris Cadet, the first run or reception of the season by the running back.


Then Ridley scored twice in a span of six minutes in the second quarter on runs of 1 and 4 yards. On the second touchdown drive, Brady completed his last six passes for 64 yards.


But he saved his best for last.


"What more can you ask out of your leader?" Ridley said. "He put the team on his back and went out there and made the plays we needed to make."


NOTESD: Collie, signed before the Bengals game, made his first two catches for the Patriots on the final drive. ... The Saints held the ball for 28:09, more than six minutes less than their season average. ... Patriots CB Aqib Talib, who helped shut down Graham, didn't return after hurting his hip in the third quarter.

Bands resolve dispute over The Clovers name

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two groups with ties to the 1950s R&B group The Clovers who had been fighting over the use of the band's name have come to an agreement.


Lawyers for the two groups filed a document Friday in federal court in Washington saying they've settled a lawsuit over the name.


The original group The Clovers started performing in the Washington area and gained fame in the 1950s, in particular for their song "Love Potion No. 9." The group's fame fell off in the 1960s, however, and the members moved on.


Earlier this year, Florida resident Harold Winley, who was part of the group in the 1950s, sued to be able to use the name when performing.


The groups will now be known as Harold Winley and the Clovers and The Clovers.

Real-life Capt. Phillips says he never empathized
