Duke Energy reports first quarter 2017 financial results

▪ First quarter 2017 GAAP reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $1.02 compared to $1.01 in 2016; adjusted diluted EPS was $1.04 for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $1.13 for the first quarter of 2016

▪ Fundamentals of the business are strong despite warm winter weather in the first quarter

▪ Company remains on track to achieve its 2017 adjusted diluted earnings guidance range of $4.50 to $4.70 per share

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Duke Energy today announced first quarter 2017 reported diluted EPS, prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) of $1.02, compared to $1.01 for the first quarter of 2016. Duke Energy's first quarter 2017 adjusted diluted EPS was $1.04, compared to $1.13 for the first quarter 2016.

Adjusted diluted EPS excludes the impact of certain items included in GAAP reported diluted EPS. Amounts excluded from adjusted diluted EPS are primarily costs to achieve the Piedmont Natural Gas merger.

Adjusted diluted EPS for the first quarter of 2017 was lower than the prior year, primarily due to the absence of International Energy, which was sold in December 2016, and warm winter weather. Partially offsetting these drivers were the contributions of Piedmont Natural Gas and favorable operations and maintenance (O&M) expense at Electric Utilities and Infrastructure.

Based upon the results through the first quarter, the company remains on track to achieve its 2017 adjusted diluted earnings guidance range of $4.50 to $4.70 per share.

“We have a compelling strategy to deliver value to our stakeholders, and we are making good progress against our plan,” said Lynn Good, Duke Energy chairman, president and CEO, "We recently announced Power/Forward Carolinas, our 10-year grid modernization plan in North Carolina. This program and others like it will not only strengthen the energy grid, but will also stimulate economic development and job growth in our communities and provide additional benefits for our customers.”

“Our ongoing investments drove solid growth in our electric and gas utilities in the quarter, and we are responding to warm winter weather through disciplined cost management and operational efficiency. We remain on-track for 2017 and have affirmed our full-year guidance range."

Business segment results

In addition to the following summary of first quarter 2017 business segment performance, a comprehensive table with detailed earnings per share drivers for the first quarter 2017, compared to prior year, is provided on page 17.

The discussion below of the first quarter results includes both GAAP segment income and adjusted segment income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The tables on pages 8 and 9 present a reconciliation of GAAP reported results to adjusted results.

Due to the Piedmont acquisition and the sale of International Energy in the fourth quarter of 2016, Duke Energy's segment structure has been realigned to include the following segments: Electric Utilities and Infrastructure, Gas Utilities and Infrastructure and Commercial Renewables. The remainder of Duke Energy’s operations is presented as Other. Other now includes the results of National Methanol Company (NMC), previously included in the International Energy segment. Prior periods have been recast to conform to the current segment structure.

Electric Utilities and Infrastructure

On a reported and adjusted basis, Electric Utilities and Infrastructure recognized first quarter 2017 segment income of $635 million, compared to $664 million in the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of $0.03 per share, excluding share dilution of $0.02 cents per share.

Lower quarterly results at Electric Utilities and Infrastructure were primarily driven by warm winter weather compared to the prior year (-$0.14 per share), across all jurisdictions.

This unfavorable driver was partially offset by:

▪ Lower O&M expenses (+$0.08 per share), due to reduced storm restoration costs compared to prior year and ongoing cost savings initiatives

▪ Higher retail revenues from increased pricing, riders and volumes (+$0.04 per share) driven by new rates in Duke Energy Progress South Carolina, base rate adjustments in Florida, and energy efficiency rider revenues at Duke Energy Carolinas

Gas Utilities and Infrastructure

Gas Utilities and Infrastructure recognized first quarter 2017 reported and adjusted segment income of $133 million, compared to $32 million in the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $0.14 per share.

Higher quarterly results at Gas Utilities and Infrastructure were primarily driven by:

▪ Contribution from Piedmont Natural Gas (+$0.14 per share), which was acquired in October 2016, before debt financing costs that are included in Other, and share dilution

▪ Higher earnings from mid-stream pipeline investments (+$0.01 per share)

Commercial Renewables

On a reported and adjusted basis, Commercial Renewables recognized first quarter 2017 segment income of $25 million, compared to $26 million in the first quarter of 2016. Higher earnings from new wind projects brought on-line in late 2016 (+$0.01 per share) were offset by lower solar ITCs in the current year (-$0.01 per share).

Other

Other primarily includes corporate interest expense not allocated to the business units, results from Duke Energy’s captive insurance company, and other investments including NMC, an equity method investment.

On a reported basis, Other recognized first quarter 2017 net expense of $77 million, compared to net expense of $148 million in the first quarter of 2016. In addition to the drivers outlined below, quarterly results were impacted by lower costs to achieve mergers and charges related to cost savings initiatives in the prior year. These charges were treated as special items and therefore excluded from adjusted earnings.

On an adjusted basis, Other recognized first quarter 2017 adjusted net expense of $67 million, compared to adjusted net expense of $62 million in the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of $0.01 per share. Lower quarterly results at Other were driven by higher interest expense at the holding company, primarily resulting from the Piedmont Natural Gas acquisition financing (‑$0.02 per share), partially offset by higher earnings from NMC (+$0.01 per share).

Duke Energy's consolidated reported effective tax rate for first quarter 2017 was 32.4 percent, compared to 30.4 percent in the first quarter of 2016. The consolidated adjusted effective tax rate for first quarter 2017 was 32.5 percent, compared to 25.6 percent in 2016. Adjusted effective tax rate is a non-GAAP financial measure. The tables on pages 10 and 11 present a reconciliation of the GAAP reported effective tax rate to the adjusted effective tax rate.

Discontinued Operations

Duke Energy's first quarter 2016 Income from Discontinued Operations includes the operating results of the International Disposal Group of $117 million, which were included in adjusted earnings.

Special Items and Non-GAAP Reconciliation

The following table presents a reconciliation of GAAP reported to adjusted diluted EPS for first quarter 2017 and 2016 financial results:

(In millions, except per-share amounts)	After-Tax Amount			1Q 2017 EPS			1Q 2016 EPS
Diluted EPS, as reported				$	1.02		$	1.01
Adjustments to reported EPS:
First Quarter 2017
Costs to achieve Piedmont merger	$	10		0.02
First Quarter 2016
Costs to achieve mergers	74						0.11
Cost savings initiatives	12						0.02
Discontinued operations(a)	(3		)				(0.01		)
Total adjustments				$	0.02		$	0.12
Diluted EPS, adjusted				$	1.04		$	1.13

(a) Represents GAAP reported Income from Discontinued Operations less the International Disposal Group operating results, which are included in adjusted earnings.

Non-GAAP financial measures

Management evaluates financial performance in part based on non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted EPS.

Adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted EPS represent income from continuing operations attributable to Duke Energy, adjusted for the dollar and per share impact of special items. As discussed below, special items represent certain charges and credits which management believes are not indicative of Duke Energy's ongoing performance. Management believes the presentation of adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted EPS provides useful information to investors, as it provides them with an additional relevant comparison of Duke Energy’s performance across periods. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning and forecasting and for reporting financial results to the Duke Energy Board of Directors, employees, stockholders, analysts and investors. Adjusted diluted EPS is also used as a basis for employee incentive bonuses. The most directly comparable GAAP measures for adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted EPS are Net Income Attributable to Duke Energy Corporation (GAAP Reported Earnings) and Diluted EPS Attributable to Duke Energy Corporation common stockholders (GAAP Reported EPS), respectively.

Duke Energy News Release     5

Special items included in the periods presented include the following items which management believes do not reflect ongoing costs:

• Costs to achieve mergers represent charges resulting from potential or completed strategic acquisitions.

• Cost savings initiatives represents severance charges related to company-wide initiatives, excluding merger integration, to standardize processes and systems, leverage technology and workforce optimization.

Adjusted earnings also include operating results of the International Disposal Group, which have been classified as discontinued operations. Management believes inclusion of the operating results of the Disposal Group within adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted EPS results in a better reflection of Duke Energy's financial performance during the period.

Due to the forward-looking nature of any forecasted adjusted earnings guidance, information to reconcile this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available at this time, as management is unable to project all special items for future periods (such as legal settlements, the impact of regulatory orders, or asset impairments).

Management evaluates segment performance based on segment income and other net expense. Segment income is defined as income from continuing operations attributable to Duke Energy. Segment income includes intercompany revenues and expenses that are eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management also uses adjusted segment income as a measure of historical and anticipated future segment performance. Adjusted segment income is a non-GAAP financial measure, as it is based upon segment income adjusted for special items, which are discussed above. Management believes the presentation of adjusted segment income provides useful information to investors, as it provides them with an additional relevant comparison of a segment’s performance across periods. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for adjusted segment income or adjusted other net expense is segment income and other net expense.

Due to the forward-looking nature of any forecasted adjusted segment income or adjusted other net expense and any related growth rates for future periods, information to reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is not available at this time, as the company is unable to forecast all special items, as discussed above.

Duke Energy’s adjusted earnings, adjusted diluted EPS, and adjusted segment income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because other companies may not calculate the measures in the same manner.

Note 1: Prior period amounts have been recast to conform to the current segment structure. Results of NMC are included within Other.
Note 2: Earnings Per Share amounts are calculated using the consolidated statutory income tax rate for all drivers except Duke Energy Renewables, which uses an effective rate.
(a) Due to the Q4 2016 share issuance used to partially fund the Piedmont acquisition. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding increased from 689 million shares to 700 million shares.
(b) Primarily due to ongoing cost control and lower storm restoration costs.
(c) Primarily due to higher earnings from the equity method investment in ACP. Earnings from Piedmont's acquired investments are included in the "Piedmont Natural Gas contribution" driver.
(d) For Commercial Renewables, higher earnings from new wind projects placed in service (+$0.01) were offset by lower solar ITCs in the current year (-$0.01 per share).
(e) Electric Utilities and Infrastructure is primarily due to higher AFUDC equity (+$0.03).

	(1) Sales and customer data for Piedmont Natural Gas include amounts prior to the acquisition on October 3, 2016, for comparative purposes. Duke Energy's consolidated financial results for 2016 do not include Piedmont's results of operations prior to the date of acquisition.
	(2) Piedmont has a margin decoupling mechanism in North Carolina and weather normalization mechanisms in South Carolina and Tennessee that significantly eliminate the impact of throughput changes on earnings. Duke Energy Ohio's rate design also serves to offset this impact.
