Summary

Entergy Corporation (ETR) filed an 8-K on March 10, 2005, primarily to disclose information presented by its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Leo P. Denault, at the Morgan Stanley 12th Annual Global Electricity & Energy Conference. The filing includes a slide presentation (Exhibit 99.1) that offers insights into the company's performance and strategy, as presented to investors and analysts at the conference. This presentation is a key piece of information for understanding Entergy's messaging and outlook at that time. Investors should note that the information furnished under Regulation FD is not considered "filed" with the SEC, meaning it does not carry the same legal implications as a formal filing. However, the slide presentation itself is valuable for understanding management's perspective and the key messages being communicated to the financial community regarding Entergy's business and financial standing in early 2005. The inclusion of a statement on Non-GAAP information (Exhibit 99.2) suggests the presentation likely included financial metrics not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
