Duke Energy reports first quarter 2020 financial results
First quarter 2020 GAAP EPS of $1.24 and adjusted EPS of $1.14
Strong results from gas distribution and commercial renewables businesses
Maintained operational excellence for our communities during COVID-19 crisis
Company affirms 2020 adjusted EPS guidance range of $5.05 to $5.45
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK) today announced first quarter 2020 reported earnings per share (EPS) of $1.24, prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and adjusted EPS of $1.14. This is compared to reported and adjusted EPS of $1.24 for the first quarter of 2019. First quarter 2020 results are consistent with internal plans with the exception of mild winter weather and storms.
Adjusted EPS excludes the impact of certain items that are included in reported EPS. The difference between first quarter 2020 reported EPS and adjusted EPS was due to the deferral of 2018 severance charges resulting from a North Carolina regulatory settlement.
For the quarter, we saw improved results in our Gas Utilities and Infrastructure segment from the Piedmont North Carolina rate case and Commercial Renewables experienced growth from new projects. Electric Utilities and Infrastructure was positively impacted by electric base rate case increases in South Carolina and Florida, and higher rider revenues in the Midwest, net of forecasted higher depreciation and amortization. However, these fundamental improvements in our results were offset by mild winter weather along with severe storms that impacted much of our Carolinas utilities territory as well as unrealized investment losses on non-pension executive benefit trusts and higher financing costs at Other. Together these items resulted in lower first quarter 2020 adjusted results.

“As the country battles the COVID-19 pandemic, our thoughts are with those who have felt the impact first-hand, and with those on the front lines who have selflessly stepped forward to serve,” said Lynn Good, Duke Energy chair, president and CEO. “I am proud of our employees’ unwavering commitment to our customers and communities during this trying time.

“The first part of the year has been marked by strong financial results, as well as operational excellence as we adjusted work practices to protect our employees and customers. We successfully managed three nuclear outages, brought a natural gas combined-cycle plant and solar facility online and responded to multiple storms. We are in the early stages of managing through this crisis and still evaluating the financial and economic impacts. Given we are

already taking proactive steps to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19, we are affirming our 2020 adjusted EPS guidance range of $5.05 to $5.45, assuming an economic recovery beginning later this year. We remain focused on generating value for both customers and shareholders in 2020 and beyond, and will draw on the benefits of our size and scale, balance sheet strength, diverse operations and constructive service areas to do so.”
Business segment results
In addition to the following summary of first quarter 2020 business segment performance, comprehensive tables with detailed EPS drivers for the first quarter compared to prior year are provided at the end of this news release.
The discussion below of first quarter results includes both GAAP segment income and adjusted segment income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The tables at the end of this news release present a full reconciliation of GAAP reported results to adjusted results.
Electric Utilities and Infrastructure
On a reported and adjusted basis, Electric Utilities and Infrastructure recognized first quarter 2020 segment income of $705 million, compared to $750 million in the first quarter of 2019. This represents a decrease of $0.06 per share, excluding share dilution of $0.01 per share. Lower quarterly results were primarily due to mild weather (-$0.05 per share), unfavorable O&M expenses (-$0.03 per share) and higher depreciation and amortization on a growing asset base (-$0.06 per share). These results were partially offset by contributions from base rate case changes (+$0.02 per share), higher riders and other retail margin (+$0.05 per share), volumes (+$0.02 per share) and formula rate adjustments to wholesale contracts (+$0.01 per share).
Gas Utilities and Infrastructure
On a reported and adjusted basis, Gas Utilities and Infrastructure recognized first quarter 2020 segment income of $249 million, compared to $226 million in the first quarter of 2019. This represents an increase of $0.03 per share. Higher quarterly results were driven by contributions from the Piedmont North Carolina rate case (+$0.06 per share) and higher riders and other retail margin (+$0.02 per share) partially offset by a prior year income tax adjustment for equity method investments.
Commercial Renewables
On a reported and adjusted basis, Commercial Renewables recognized first quarter 2020 segment income of $57 million, compared to a reported and adjusted segment income of $13 million in the first quarter of 2019. This represents an increase of $0.06 per share. Higher quarterly results were primarily impacted by growth from renewable projects placed in service in the prior year (+$0.04 per share) and favorable wind resource and power pricing.
Other
Other primarily includes interest expense on holding company debt, other unallocated corporate costs and results from Duke Energy’s captive insurance company.

On a reported and adjusted basis, Other recognized a first quarter 2020 net loss of $112 million and $187 million, respectively. This is compared to a reported and adjusted net loss of $89 million in the first quarter of 2019. First quarter 2020 results were impacted by a $75 million after-tax reversal of severance charges resulting from a North Carolina regulatory settlement previously recognized during 2018. The severance charges were deferred as regulatory assets. As the 2018 severance charges were treated as a special item, the reversal in the first quarter of 2020 is a special item and excluded from adjusted earnings.
Lower adjusted quarterly results at Other were primarily due to unrealized investment losses on non-pension executive benefit trusts, and higher financing costs.
Effective tax rate
Duke Energy's consolidated reported effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 was 13.3% compared to 9.6% in the first quarter of 2019. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a true-up adjustment related to income tax recognition for equity method investments in the first quarter of 2019, partially offset by an increase in the amortization of excess deferred taxes.
The effective tax rate including impacts of noncontrolling interests and preferred dividends and excluding special items for the first quarter of 2020 was 12.2% compared to the effective tax rate including impacts of noncontrolling interests of 9.5% in the first quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily due to a true-up adjustment related to income tax recognition for equity method investments in the first quarter of 2019, partially offset by an increase in the amortization of excess deferred taxes.
The tables at the end of this news release present a reconciliation of the reported effective tax rate to the effective tax rate including noncontrolling interests and preferred dividends and excluding special items.

Non-GAAP financial measures
Management evaluates financial performance in part based on non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted earnings, adjusted EPS and effective tax rate including impacts of noncontrolling interests and preferred dividends and excluding special items. Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS represent income from continuing operations available to Duke Energy common stockholders in dollar and per share amounts, adjusted for the dollar and per share impact of special items. The effective tax rate including impacts of noncontrolling interests and preferred dividends and excluding special items is calculated using pretax earnings and income tax expense, both as adjusted for the impact of noncontrolling interests, preferred dividends and special items. As discussed below, special items include certain charges and credits, which management believes are not indicative of Duke Energy's ongoing performance.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning and forecasting, and for reporting financial results to the Board of Directors, employees, stockholders, analysts and investors. The most directly comparable GAAP measures for adjusted earnings, adjusted EPS and effective tax rate including impacts of noncontrolling interests and preferred dividends and excluding special items are Net Income Available to Duke Energy common stockholders (GAAP reported earnings), Basic EPS Available to Duke Energy Corporation common stockholders (GAAP reported EPS), and the reported effective tax rate, respectively.
The periods presented include a special item for the reversal of 2018 Severance charges, which were deferred as a result of the partial settlement in the Duke Energy Carolinas 2019 North Carolina rate case. Management believes the special item does not reflect ongoing benefits or costs.
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 loss. Segment income is defined as income from continuing operations net of income attributable to



Duke Energy News Release     5


noncontrolling interests and preferred stock dividends. Segment income includes intercompany revenues and expenses that are eliminated in the Condensed 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 loss is segment income and other net loss.
Due to the forward-looking nature of any forecasted adjusted segment income or adjusted other net loss 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 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.
