| Duke Energy Corporation Non-GAAP Reconciliations Duke Energy Investor Update June 2021 Adjusted Earnings per Share (EPS) The materials for Duke Energy Corporation’s (Duke Energy) Investor Update in June 2021 include a discussion of adjusted EPS for the quarter-to-date periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and the year-to- date period ended December 31, 2020. The non-GAAP financial measure, adjusted EPS, represents basic EPS available to Duke Energy Corporation common stockholders (GAAP reported EPS), adjusted for the 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 EPS provides useful information to investors, as it provides them with an additional relevant comparison of Duke Energy’s performance across periods. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure for planning and forecasting and for reporting financial results to the Duke Energy Board of Directors, employees, stockholders, analysts and investors. Adjusted EPS is also used as a basis for employee incentive bonuses. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for adjusted EPS is reported basic EPS available to Duke Energy Corporation common stockholders. A reconciliation of adjusted EPS for the quarter-to-date periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and the year-to-date period ended December 31, 2020, to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included herein. Special items included in the periods presented include the following items, which management believes do not reflect ongoing costs: Gas Pipeline Investments represents costs related to the cancellation of the ACP pipeline and additional exit costs related to Constitution. Regulatory Settlements represents charges related to Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress coal ash settlement and the partial settlements in the 2019 North Carolina rate cases. Severance represents the reversal of 2018 costs, which were deferred as a result of a partial settlement in the Duke Energy Carolinas and the Duke Energy Progress 2019 North Carolina rate cases. Adjusted EPS Guidance The materials for Duke Energy’s Investor Update in June 2021 include a reference to forecasted 2021 adjusted EPS guidance range of $5.00 to $5.30 per share and the midpoint of forecasted 2021 adjusted EPS guidance range of $5.15. The materials also reference the long-term range of annual growth of 5% - 7% through 2025 off the midpoint of 2021 adjusted EPS guidance range of $5.15. In addition, the materials reference the expected five-year EPS growth in the Gas Utilities and Infrastructure segment of 8-10% (on a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) basis) and the five-year expected EPS growth in the Electric Utilities and Infrastructure segment of 5-7% (on a CAGR basis). The forecasted adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure as it represents basic EPS available to Duke Energy Corporation common stockholders (GAAP reported EPS), adjusted for the per share impact of special items (as discussed above under Adjusted EPS).

| Due to the forward-looking nature of this non-GAAP financial measure for future periods, information to reconcile it 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. Adjusted Segment Income (Loss) and Adjusted Other Net Loss The materials for Duke Energy’s Investor Update in June 2021 include a discussion of the change in adjusted segment income (loss) and adjusted other net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and a discussion of 2021 forecasted adjusted segment income and forecasted adjusted other net loss. Adjusted segment income (loss) and adjusted other net loss are non-GAAP financial measures, as they represent reported segment income (loss) and other net loss adjusted for special items (as discussed above under Adjusted EPS). Management believes the presentation of adjusted segment income (loss) and adjusted other net expense provides useful information to investors, as it provides an additional relevant comparison of a segment’s or Other’s performance across periods. When a per share impact is provided for a segment income (loss) driver, the after-tax driver is derived using the pretax amount of the item less income taxes based on the segment statutory tax rate of 24% for Electric Utilities and Infrastructure, 23% for Gas Utilities and Infrastructure and Other, or an effective tax rate for Commercial Renewables. The after-tax earnings drivers are divided by the Duke Energy weighted average shares outstanding for the period. The most directly comparable GAAP measures for adjusted segment income (loss) and adjusted other net loss are reported segment income (loss) and other net loss, which represents segment income (loss) and other net loss from continuing operations, including any special items. Reconciliations of adjusted segment income (loss) and adjusted other net loss for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included herein. Due to the forward-looking nature of any forecasted adjusted segment income (loss) and forecasted 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 are not available at this time, as the company is unable to forecast all special items, as discussed above under Adjusted EPS guidance. Funds From Operations (“FFO”) Ratio The materials for Duke Energy’s Investor Update in June 2021 include a reference to the expected FFO to Total Debt ratio. This ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. The numerator of the FFO to Total Debt ratio is calculated principally by using net cash provided by operating activities on a GAAP basis, adjusted for changes in working capital, ARO spend, depreciation and amortization of operating leases and reduced for capitalized interest (including any AFUDC interest). The denominator for the FFO to Total Debt ratio is calculated principally by using the balance of long-term debt (excluding purchase accounting adjustments and long-term debt associated with the CR3 Securitization), including current maturities, imputed operating lease liabilities, plus notes payable, commercial paper outstanding, underfunded pension liability, guarantees on joint-venture debt, and adjustments to hybrid debt and preferred stock issuances based on how credit rating agencies view the instruments. Due to the forward-looking nature of this non-GAAP financial measure for future periods, information to reconcile it to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available at this time, as management is unable to project all special items, as discussed above under Adjusted EPS Guidance. Net Regulated Electric and Gas O&M The materials for Duke Energy’s Investor Update in June 2021 include a discussion of Duke Energy’s net regulated Electric and Gas operating, maintenance and other expenses (O&M) for the year-to-date periods

| ended December 31, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016, as well as the forecasted year-to-date period ended December 31, 2021. Net regulated Electric and Gas O&M is a non-GAAP financial measure, as it represents reported O&M expenses adjusted for special items and expenses recovered through riders and excludes O&M expenses for Duke Energy’s non-margin based Commercial businesses and non-regulated electric products and services supporting regulated operations. Management believes the presentation of net regulated Electric and Gas O&M provides useful information to investors, as it provides a meaningful comparison of financial performance across periods. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for net regulated Electric and Gas O&M is reported operating, maintenance and other expenses. A reconciliation of net regulated Electric and Gas O&M for the year-to-date periods ended December 31, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016, as well as the forecasted year-to-date period ended December 31, 2021, to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included here-in. Business Mix Percentage The materials for Duke Energy’s Investor Update in June 2021 reference each segment’s 2021 projected adjusted segment income as a percentage of the total projected 2021 adjusted net income (i.e. business mix), excluding the impact of Other. Duke Energy’s segments are comprised of Electric Utilities and Infrastructure, Gas Utilities and Infrastructure and Commercial Renewables. Adjusted segment income is a non-GAAP financial measure, as it represents reported segment income adjusted for special items as discussed above. Due to the forward-looking nature of any forecasted adjusted segment income, 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 (as discussed above under Adjusted EPS Guidance).
