In the second quarter of FY17, the Company's operating earnings reflected the conclusion of the Ginna reliability support services agreement, increased nuclear outage days, and lower realized energy prices, partially offset by Zero Emission Credit revenue related to the New York Clean Energy Standard and higher utility earnings due to regulatory rate increases. The effective tax rate for the quarter was a whopping 7200.0% compared to just 24.6% in the corresponding quarter of the last fiscal year.

Net income attributable to shareholders of the Company in Q2 FY17 was $80 million compared to $267 million in the same period of the last fiscal year, thereby falling by 70.0% y-o-y.

Plant divestment, hedging activities, assets impairments, and a few one-time items resulted in the difference between GAAP and adjusted earnings.
