AI summaryEntergy said it entered into an agreement on May 23, 2024 with Newport Trust Company, LLC and Metropolitan Life Insurance Company under which the Pension Plans will buy a group annuity contract from MetLife to settle about $1.157 billion in pension liabilities.
The company said the contract mainly covers 3,447 retirees, joint annuitants, beneficiaries and others who began receiving benefits on or before March 1, 2024, and that MetLife will make direct payments to them starting September 1, 2024. It said the contract is expected to close on May 31, 2024.
The company expects to record a one-time non-cash pension settlement charge in Q2 2024 from the transaction. It said the estimated range is $305 million to $335 million pre-tax (about $241 million to $265 million after tax), and the actual amount will depend on the finalization of actuarial assumptions.
The company said the one-time charge is treated as an adjustment to GAAP net income and therefore will not affect its adjusted earnings per share (non-GAAP). It said the impact on its ongoing earnings and credit outlooks is not expected to be material. It also said the transferred pension liability was fully funded and requires no additional funding.
