time. Weather-normal sales volumes have shown growth in 2025 compared to 2024 due primarily to continued residential customer growth and strength in the commercial sector including data center usage. Industrial sales remained soft due to overall weakness across the class, including some manufacturing plant closings in certain jurisdictions and impacts of continued high interest rates. The impact on customers' usage of electricity from these factors and other potential economic dynamics continues to be monitored. Over a longer time frame, it is expected that the continued adoption of more efficient housing and appliances will have a negative impact on average usage per residential customer; however, decoupled rates in North Carolina and various rate design mechanisms in other jurisdictions partially mitigate the impact of the declining usage per customer on overall profitability. Commercial and industrial sales volumes are expected to grow over this longer time frame as sales benefit from a robust economic development portfolio.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Seasonality and the Impact of Weather</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Revenues and costs are influenced by seasonal weather patterns. Peak sales of electricity occur during the summer and winter months, which results in higher revenue and cash flows during these periods. By contrast, lower sales of electricity occur during the spring and fall, allowing for scheduled plant maintenance. Residential and commercial customers are typically more impacted by weather than industrial customers, although decoupling mechanisms in certain jurisdictions may mitigate some of the weather impacts. Estimated weather impacts are based on actual current period weather compared to normal weather conditions. Normal weather conditions are defined as the long-term average of actual historical weather conditions.</span></div><div style="height:45pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:center"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">10</span></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"/><div style="min-height:45pt;width:100%"><div style="margin-top:5pt;text-align:center"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;display:inline-table;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:99.415%"><tr><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:32.282%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:65.518%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#828282;border-bottom:1pt solid #828282;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle"><span style="color:#ffffff;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:100%">BUSINESS</span></td><td colspan="3" style="border-bottom:1pt solid #828282;padding:0 1pt"/></tr></table></div></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The estimated impact of weather on earnings is based on the temperature variances from a normal condition and customers&#8217; historic usage patterns. The methodology used to estimate the impact of weather does not consider all variables that may impact customer response to weather conditions such as humidity in the summer or wind chill in the winter. The precision of this estimate may also be impacted by applying long-term weather trends to shorter-term periods. Estimates of weather impacts may be more difficult to determine during periods of extreme or more volatile weather, including periods with significant storm activity.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Heating degree days measure the variation in weather based on the extent the average daily temperature falls below a base temperature.

Large amounts of coal are purchased under long-term contracts with mining operators who mine both underground and at the surface. EU&amp;I uses spot market purchases to meet coal requirements not met by long-term contracts. Expiration dates for its long-term contracts, which may have various price adjustment provisions and market reopeners, range from 2026 to 2030 for Duke Energy Carolinas, Duke Energy Progress and Duke Energy Indiana, and 2026 to 2028 for Duke Energy Florida and Duke Energy Ohio. EU&amp;I expects to renew these contracts or enter into similar contracts with other suppliers as existing contracts expire, though prices will fluctuate over time as coal markets change. EU&amp;I has an adequate supply of coal under contract to meet its risk management guidelines regarding projected future consumption. Coal inventory levels may fluctuate as a result of volatility in natural gas prices and the associated impacts on coal-fired dispatch within the generation fleet. EU&amp;I continues to actively manage its portfolio and has worked with suppliers to obtain increased flexibility in its coal contracts.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Coal purchased for the Carolinas is primarily produced from mines in Central Appalachia, Northern Appalachia and the Illinois Basin. Coal purchased for Florida is primarily produced from mines in the Illinois Basin. Coal purchased for Kentucky is primarily produced from mines along the Ohio River in Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Coal purchased for Indiana is primarily produced in Indiana and Illinois. There are adequate domestic coal reserves to serve EU&amp;I's coal generation needs through end of life.

EU&amp;I uses coal, hydroelectric, natural gas, oil, renewable generation and nuclear fuel to generate electricity, thereby maintaining a diverse fuel mix that helps mitigate the impact of cost increases in any one fuel. Due to the associated regulatory treatment and the method allowed for recovery, changes in fuel costs from year to year have no material impact on operating results of EU&amp;I, unless a commission finds a portion of such costs to have been imprudent.

GU&amp;I&#8217;s natural gas procurement strategy is to contract primarily with major and independent producers and marketers for natural gas supply. It also purchases a diverse portfolio of transportation and storage service from interstate pipelines. This strategy allows GU&amp;I to assure reliable natural gas supply and transportation for its firm customers during peak winter conditions. When firm pipeline services or contracted natural gas supplies are temporarily not needed due to market demand fluctuations, GU&amp;I may release these services and supplies in the secondary market under FERC-approved capacity release provisions and/or make wholesale secondary market sales. In 2025, firm supply purchase commitment agreements provided for approximately 100% of the natural gas supply for both Piedmont and Duke Energy Ohio during the winter months and 100% of forecasted demand was under contract prior to the winter heating season.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Impact of Weather</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">GU&amp;I revenues are generally protected from the impact of weather fluctuations due to the regulatory mechanisms that are available in most service territories.&#160;In North Carolina, margin decoupling provides protection from both weather and other usage variations like conservation for residential and small and medium commercial customers.&#160;Margin decoupling provides a set margin per customer independent of actual usage. In South Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky, weather normalization adjusts revenues either up or down depending on how much warmer or colder than normal a given month has been. Weather normalization adjustments occur from November through March in South Carolina, from October through April in Tennessee and from November through April in Kentucky.&#160;Duke Energy Ohio collects most of its non-fuel revenue through a fixed monthly charge that is not impacted by usage fluctuations resulting from weather changes or conservation.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Competition</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">GU&amp;I&#8217;s businesses operate as the sole provider of natural gas service within their retail service territories.

GU&amp;I earns retail margin on the transmission and distribution of natural gas and not on the cost of the underlying commodity. Services are priced by state commission-approved rates designed to include the costs of providing these services and a reasonable return on invested capital.

A significant competitive factor is price. GU&amp;I's primary product competition is with electricity for space heating, water heating and cooking. Increases in the price of natural gas or decreases in the price of other energy sources could negatively impact competitive position by decreasing the price benefits of natural gas to the consumer. In the case of industrial customers, such as manufacturing plants, adverse economic or market conditions, including higher natural gas costs, could cause these customers to suspend business operations or to use alternative sources of energy in favor of energy sources with lower per-unit costs. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Higher natural gas costs or decreases in the price of other energy sources may result in more competition from alternative energy sources for applications that have traditionally used natural gas. Certain customers may choose equipment fueled by energy sources other than natural gas. Competition between natural gas and other forms of energy is also based on efficiency, performance, reliability, safety and other non-price factors. Technological improvements in other energy sources and events that impair the public perception of the non-price attributes of natural gas could erode GU&amp;I's competitive advantage. These factors in turn could decrease the demand for natural gas, impair GU&amp;I's ability to attract new customers and cause existing customers to switch to other forms of energy or to bypass GU&amp;I's systems in favor of alternative competitive sources. This could result in slow or no customer growth for GU&amp;I and could cause customers to reduce or cease using natural gas, thereby reducing GU&amp;I's ability to make capital expenditures and otherwise grow its business, adversely affecting its earnings. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Natural Gas Investments</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Duke Energy has a 7.5% equity ownership interest in Sabal Trail reported within the GU&amp;I segment.

The state utility commissions, to varying degrees, have authority over the construction and operation of GU&amp;I&#8217;s natural gas distribution facilities. CPCNs issued by the state utility commissions or other government agencies, as applicable, authorize GU&amp;I to construct and operate its natural gas distribution facilities and to sell natural gas to retail and wholesale customers. Prior approval from the relevant state utility commission is required for the entities within GU&amp;I to issue securities. The underlying concept of utility ratemaking is to set rates at a level that allows the utility to collect revenues equal to its cost of providing service plus a reasonable rate of return on its invested capital, including equity.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In addition to amounts collected from customers through approved base rates, each of the state utility commissions allow recovery of certain costs through various cost recovery clauses to the extent the respective commission determines in periodic hearings that such costs, including any past over or under-recovered costs, are prudent. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Natural gas costs are eligible for recovery by GU&amp;I.

Duke Energy is working to meet growing and evolving customer energy needs while balancing reliability, costs and other priorities including the need to modernize its fleet and the regulatory constructs. Duke Energy is subject to business, policy, regulatory, technology, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond its control and may make those objectives difficult to achieve. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Federal or state policies could be enacted that restrict the availability of, and increase the costs associated with the use of, fuels or generation technologies, such as natural gas or nuclear power, that enable Duke Energy to reduce its carbon emissions. For example, Duke Energy anticipates that its nuclear stations in North Carolina and South Carolina will continue to qualify for significant tax incentives in the form of nuclear production tax credits as allowed under the IRA and OBBBA. Nuclear energy is a reliable and clean energy source and nuclear tax incentives allowed, including nuclear production tax credits, are expected to reduce the cost of the energy transition for our customers. If such nuclear production tax credits were eliminated or reduced, it could negatively impact our ability to return the anticipated cost benefits to customers.</span></div><div style="height:45pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:center"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">22</span></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"/><div style="min-height:45pt;width:100%"><div style="margin-top:5pt;text-align:center"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;display:inline-table;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:99.415%"><tr><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:32.282%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:65.518%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#828282;border-bottom:1pt solid #828282;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle"><span style="color:#ffffff;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:100%">RISK FACTORS</span></td><td colspan="3" style="border-bottom:1pt solid #828282;padding:0 1pt"/></tr></table></div></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Additionally, new EPA rules issued in April 2024 impose stringent GHG emission reduction standards, revised air toxic limits, and wastewater discharge limitations that may impact the achievement of carbon-reductions, and operational timeline and costs associated with certain new and existing generation. Supportive policies may be needed to facilitate the siting and cost recovery of transmission and distribution upgrades needed to accommodate the build out of new generation facilities, including large volumes of renewables and energy storage. Further, the approval of our state regulators will be necessary for the Company to continue to retire existing carbon emitting assets or make investments in new generating capacity. The Company may be constrained by the ability to procure resources or labor needed to build new generation at a reasonable price as well as to construct projects on time. In addition, new technologies that are not yet commercially available or are unproven at utility scale will likely be needed, including carbon capture and sequestration and supporting infrastructure as well as new resources capable of following electric load over long durations such as advanced nuclear, hydrogen and long-duration storage. If these technologies are not developed or are not available at reasonable prices, or if we invest in early stage technologies that are then supplanted by technological breakthroughs, Duke Energy&#8217;s ability to achieve net-zero carbon emissions from electricity generation by 2050 at a cost-effective price could be at risk.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Meeting the evolving and growing energy needs of our customers will require continued operation of our existing carbon-free technologies including nuclear and renewables. The transition to and expansion of certain low-carbon resources, such as renewables without cost-effective storage, may challenge our ability to meet customer expectations of reliability and value in a carbon constrained environment, particularly as demand increases. Our nuclear fleet is central to our ability to meet these objectives and customer expectations. We are continuing our work to renew the operating licenses of the 11 reactors we operate at six nuclear stations for an additional 20 years, extending their operating lives to and beyond midcentury.

Federal and state regulations, laws, commercialization and reduction of costs and other efforts designed to promote and expand the use of EE measures and distributed generation technologies, such as private solar and battery storage, in Duke Energy service territories could reduce recovery of fixed costs in Duke Energy service territories or result in customers leaving the electric distribution system or an increase in customer net energy metering, which allows customers with private solar to receive bill credits for surplus power up to the full retail credit amount. Over time, customer adoption of these technologies or adoption of net metering regulatory structures could result in Duke Energy not being able to fully recover the costs of its investments. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt;margin-top:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">State regulators have approved various mechanisms to stabilize natural gas utility margins, including margin decoupling in North Carolina and rate stabilization in South Carolina. Additionally, certain jurisdictions have established performance incentive mechanisms and revenue decoupling mechanisms for EU&amp;I. Performance incentive mechanisms condition some portion of the respective utility's earnings on its performance on established measurable consumer, utility system or public policy outcomes. Revenue decoupling mechanisms provide periodic rate adjustments to ensure actual revenues match allowed revenues for certain customer classes. State regulators have also approved other margin stabilizing mechanisms that, for example, allow for recovery of margin losses associated with negotiated transactions designed to retain large volume customers that could use alternative fuels or that may otherwise directly access natural gas supply through their own connection to an interstate pipeline. If regulators decided to discontinue the Duke Energy Registrants' use of tariff mechanisms or other mechanisms intended to stabilize utility margins, it would negatively impact results of operations, financial position and cash flows. In addition, regulatory authorities also review whether fuel and purchased power costs are prudently incurred and can disallow the recovery of a portion of these costs that the Duke Energy Registrants seek to recover from customers, which would adversely impact earnings and cash flows.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt;margin-top:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">The rates that the Duke Energy Registrants&#8217; regulated utility businesses are allowed to charge are established by state utility commissions in rate case proceedings, which may limit their ability to recover costs and earn an appropriate return on investment. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt;margin-top:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The rates that the Duke Energy Registrants&#8217; regulated utility businesses are allowed to charge significantly influences the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Duke Energy Registrants.

Regulation affects almost every aspect of the Duke Energy Registrants&#8217; businesses, including, among other things, their ability to: take fundamental business management actions; determine the terms and rates for services; make acquisitions; issue equity or debt securities; engage in transactions with other subsidiaries and affiliates; and pay dividends upstream to the Duke Energy Registrants. Changes to federal regulations are continuous and ongoing. There can be no assurance that laws, regulations and policies, including tax incentives and credits, will not be changed in ways that result in material modifications of business models and objectives or affect returns on investment by restricting activities and products, subjecting them to escalating costs, causing delays, or prohibiting them outright, which could have a material effect on the Duke Energy Registrants' results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

For example, new EPA rules issued in April 2024, among other things, impose stringent GHG emissions limitations on existing coal plants and new natural gas plants and more stringent air toxic limits on existing coal plants, increase limitations on wastewater discharge, and impose groundwater monitoring and corrective action requirements on previously unregulated coal ash sources at regulated facilities (CCR Management Units) and inactive surface impoundments at retired generating facilities (Legacy CCR Surface Impoundments). Potential legal challenges to such rules or actions to repeal or modify requirements may not be successful, and adherence to these rules may increase the cost of compliance, impact generation resource mix, force carbon reductions or negatively impact customer reliability and perceived value. For example, EPA Rule 111 as issued imposes stringent GHG emissions limitations and reliance on carbon capture technologies that are not yet adequately demonstrated at utility scale. These and other environmental laws and regulations can result in increased capital, operating and other costs. Additionally, new state legislation in response to such regulations could impose carbon reduction objectives that are more aggressive than the Company's plans. These regulations may require the Duke Energy Registrants to make additional capital expenditures or increase operating and maintenance costs.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">These laws and regulations generally require the Duke Energy Registrants to obtain and comply with a wide variety of environmental licenses, permits, inspections and other approvals. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations can require significant expenditures, including expenditures for cleanup costs and damages arising from contaminated properties. Failure to comply with environmental regulations may result in the imposition of fines, penalties and injunctive measures affecting operating assets, as well as reputational damage. The steps the Duke Energy Registrants could be required to take to ensure their facilities are in compliance could be prohibitively expensive. As a result, the Duke Energy Registrants may be required to shut down or alter the operation of their facilities, which may cause the Duke Energy Registrants to incur losses. Further, the Duke Energy Registrants may not be successful in recovering capital and operating costs incurred to comply with new environmental regulations through existing regulatory rate structures and their contracts with customers. Also, the Duke Energy Registrants may not be able to obtain or maintain from time to time all required environmental regulatory approvals for their operating assets or development projects. Delays in obtaining any required environmental regulatory approvals, failure to obtain and comply with them or changes in environmental laws or regulations to more stringent compliance levels could, and are likely to, result in additional costs of operation for existing facilities or development of new facilities being prevented, delayed or subject to additional costs. The costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations could have a material effect on the Duke Energy Registrants&#8217; results of operations, financial position or cash flows.</span></div><div style="height:45pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:center"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">24</span></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"/><div style="min-height:45pt;width:100%"><div style="margin-top:5pt;text-align:center"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;display:inline-table;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:99.415%"><tr><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:32.282%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:65.518%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#828282;border-bottom:1pt solid #828282;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle"><span style="color:#ffffff;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:100%">RISK FACTORS</span></td><td colspan="3" style="border-bottom:1pt solid #828282;padding:0 1pt"/></tr></table></div></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt;margin-top:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">The Duke Energy Registrants' operations, capital expenditures and financial results may be affected by regulatory changes related to the impacts of global climate change.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">There is continued concern, and increasing and conflicting activism, both nationally and internationally, about global climate change. The EPA and state regulators have, and may adopt and implement, additional regulations to restrict emissions of GHGs to address global climate change, as well as reporting requirements regarding such emissions and related climate-goal claims. Certain local and state jurisdictions have also enacted laws to restrict or prevent new natural gas infrastructure. Increased regulation of GHG emissions and reporting requirements could impose significant additional costs on the Duke Energy Registrants' electric and natural gas operations, their suppliers and customers and affect demand for energy conservation and renewable products, which could impact both our electric and natural gas businesses. Regulatory changes and/or uncertainty of applicability of such legislative and regulatory initiatives could also result in generation facilities to be retired earlier than planned to achieve net-zero carbon emissions from electricity generation by 2050.

The Duke Energy Registrants continually monitor derivative positions in relation to market price activity.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt;margin-top:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Cyberattacks and data security breaches could adversely affect the Duke Energy Registrants' businesses.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Cybersecurity risks have increased in recent years as a result of the proliferation of new technologies, and the increased sophistication, magnitude and frequency of cyberattacks and data security breaches. Duke Energy relies on the continued operation of advanced digital information and operational technology systems and network infrastructure, which are part of an interconnected regional grid. Additionally, connectivity to the internet continues to increase through grid modernization and other operational excellence initiatives. Furthermore, AI, including generative AI, may be used to facilitate or perpetrate these cybersecurity threats. Duke Energy&#8217;s use of generative AI (and use by their vendors and agents) may subject them to data privacy, legal, regulatory and security risks. Because of the critical nature of the infrastructure, increased connectivity to the internet, external networks, mandatory reliability and safety obligations, and technology systems&#8217; inherent vulnerability to disability or failures due to hacking, viruses, acts of war or terrorism or other types of data security breaches, the Duke Energy Registrants face a heightened risk of cyberattacks from foreign, nation-state or domestic sources and have been subject, and will likely continue to be subject, to cyberattacks designed to gain unauthorized access to information and/or information systems or to disrupt utility operations through computer viruses and phishing attempts either directly or indirectly through its material vendors or related third parties. In addition, advances in emerging technologies such as quantum computing could, over time, be used to break standard encryption methods, compromise secure connections or otherwise conduct cyberattacks of increasing sophistication. In the event of a significant cybersecurity breach on either the Duke Energy Registrants or with one of our material vendors or related third parties, the Duke Energy Registrants could (i) have business operations disrupted, including the disruption of the operation of our natural gas and electric assets and the power grid, theft of confidential company, employee, retiree, shareholder, vendor or customer information, and general business systems and process interruption or compromise, including preventing the Duke Energy Registrants from servicing customers, collecting revenues or the recording, processing and/or reporting financial information correctly, (ii) experience substantial loss of revenues, repair and restoration costs, penalties and costs for lack of compliance with relevant regulations, implementation costs for additional security measures to avert future cyberattacks and other financial loss and (iii) be subject to increased regulation, litigation and reputational damage. While Duke Energy maintains insurance relating to cybersecurity events, such insurance does not protect Duke Energy from such cyberattacks occurring, and while it does provide some potential mitigation of the financial impacts resulting from such cyberattacks, it is subject to a number of exclusions and may be insufficient to offset any losses, costs or damage experienced. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt;margin-top:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Duke Energy Registrants are subject to standards enacted by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation and enforced by FERC regarding protection of the physical and cybersecurity of critical infrastructure assets required for operating North America's bulk electric system. The Duke Energy Registrants are also subject to regulations set by the NRC regarding the protection of digital computer and communication systems and networks required for the operation of nuclear power plants. The Duke Energy Registrants that operate designated critical pipelines that transport natural gas are also subject to security directives issued by the TSA requiring such registrants to implement specific cybersecurity mitigation measures. While the Duke Energy Registrants believe they are in compliance with, or, in the case of recent directives, are in the process of implementing such standards and regulations, the Duke Energy Registrants have from time to time been, and may in the future be, found to be in violation of such standards and regulations. In addition, compliance with or changes in the applicable standards and regulations may subject the Duke Energy Registrants to higher operating costs and/or increased capital expenditures as well as substantial fines for non-compliance.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt;margin-top:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">The Duke Energy Registrants&#8217; operations have been and may be affected by pandemic health events in ways listed below and in ways the Duke Energy Registrants cannot predict at this time.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to respond to it resulted in widespread adverse consequences on the global economy and on the Duke Energy Registrants&#8217; customers, third-party vendors, and other parties with whom we do business.

Additionally, to support expected demand growth, Duke Energy Registrants will have compounding risks due to the simultaneous development and construction of multiple facilities. Completion of these types of large projects is subject to substantial delay or cost overrun risks that have, or may occur again, in the future, including those related to labor costs, availability of materials, productivity of workforce/equipment; as well as supply chain issues including, quality, availability, disruptions and potential tariff impacts; weather related delays; start up issues; public and regulatory support; transmission grid interconnection issues; and potential for increased financing costs as a result of interest rates and impact of delays including loss of otherwise available tax credits and incentives. Project cancellations may result in significant cancellation penalties under the equipment purchase orders and construction contracts or impairment charges.

In addition, the potential pool of investors and funding sources would likely decrease. Further, if the short-term debt rating were to fall, access to the commercial paper market could be significantly limited. A downgrade below investment grade could also require the posting of additional collateral in the form of letters of credit or cash under various credit, commodity and capacity agreements and trigger termination clauses in some interest rate derivative agreements, which would require cash payments.

MTBE is a gasoline additive intended to increase the oxygen levels in gasoline and make it burn cleaner. The case was removed from Baltimore City Circuit Court to federal District Court. In December 2020, the plaintiff and defendants selected 50 focus sites, none of which had any ties to Duke Energy Merchants. In November 2025, Duke Energy Merchants entered into a settlement agreement with the state of Maryland, which included the payment of an immaterial amount to resolve the litigation.

The lawsuit also alleges that Duke Energy misled the public regarding Duke Energy&#8217;s support for, and actions toward, transitioning its fossil fuel portfolio to renewable energy. The damages alleged range from road and stormwater-system impacts to increased electricity costs and recurring invasions and interferences from extreme weather events. The lawsuit asserts state-law claims for public nuisance, private nuisance, trespass, negligence, and gross negligence, and is seeking an unspecified amount of monetary damages. The case has been transferred to the North Carolina Business Court. Duke Energy filed a motion to dismiss the litigation based on lack of subject-matter jurisdiction on March 17, 2025, and filed a motion to dismiss based on failure to state a claim on which relief can be granted on May 9, 2025. Oral argument regarding Duke Energy's motions to dismiss was held on September 25, 2025. As requested by the court, supplemental briefing addressing various aspects of causation, including traceability and proximate cause, was filed on October 25, 2025. On February 12, 2026, the court granted Duke Energy's motion to dismiss the litigation based on lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. In light of the dismissal, the court denied the motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim as moot.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Other Proceedings</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In addition, from time to time, the Duke Energy Registrants are parties to various legal, environmental or other regulatory proceedings, including in the ordinary course of business.

The reliable, low-cost power we provide plays a key role in continuing to bring business and job growth to our region. To efficiently fund this growth and the related capital required in the coming years, we entered into two strategic transactions in the third quarter of 2025. In July 2025, we announced the sale of Piedmont&#8217;s Tennessee business to Spire Inc. for $2.48 billion. Subject to regulatory approvals, we expect to complete the Piedmont transaction on March 31, 2026. In August 2025, we entered into an investment agreement to receive $6 billion in exchange for an eventual anticipated 19.7% indirect investment in Duke Energy Florida. The transaction is expected to be completed through a series of closings starting in March 2026 through mid-2028. Proceeds from both transactions will support Duke Energy&#8217;s expanded capital plan and replaces certain originally planned long-term debt and common equity issuances. Both of these transactions, along with our unwavering focus on operational excellence and value creation, demonstrate our continued ability to meet the unprecedented long-term growth anticipated across our service territories.

Operational excellence is especially critical to successfully navigate effective storm response and to efficiently provide the continuity of service our customers demand, regardless of weather or circumstance. Our workforce and contract partners work hard to prepare for storm season through drills, material planning, call center readiness, contingency planning and customer communications. In such extreme circumstances, our immediate priority is, and always will be, executing the extensive storm preparation and response work to ensure the safe, timely and efficient restoration of service to impacted customers as quickly as possible. We've seen the benefits of ongoing grid hardening investments, leveraging self-healing technologies and remote restoration capabilities to automate the rerouting of power, more effectively deploy resources and reduce the frequency or duration of outages for many of our customers during severe weather events. Our ability to effectively handle all facets of storm response efforts while making ongoing investments to enhance the reliability and physical security of the grid is a testament to our team&#8217;s extensive preparation and coordination, applying lessons learned from previous storms, and on-the-ground management throughout the restoration efforts. Duke Energy is proud to have received 22 Emergency Response Awards since EEI began recognizing storm response in 1998 (including 11 for assisting other utilities), including for the severe storm season of 2024.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The effective execution of our storm response was on full display beginning in late 2024 as a result of a historic storm season that included hurricanes Debby, Helene and Milton. Our preparation, sound execution and a comprehensive communication strategy helped us to respond quickly and build stakeholder support as we completed the important work of rebuilding power infrastructure in the hardest-hit areas of our service territories. This year included fewer large storms but we remained focused on minimizing customer bill impacts from the historic 2024 storm season by seeking insurance recovery and securitization of storm related costs in jurisdictions where permitted. To minimize the financing costs related to these storms, we worked with the state commissions to timely track and recover storm costs under our approved regulatory frameworks, including storm recovery charges in Florida and the securitization of storm costs in the Carolinas so that storm costs are fully recovered across all jurisdictions by early 2026.

To achieve these objectives, we are partnering with stakeholders, championing public policy that advances innovation, and continuing to leverage regulatory models that support the delivery of reliable energy, ensure timely cost recovery and promote cost stability for customers.</span></div><div id="if6ef0c42193f48dc8c9ea2fb5186fc13_115"></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Matters Impacting Future Results</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The matters discussed herein could materially impact the future operating results, financial condition and cash flows of the Duke Energy Registrants.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Regulatory Matters</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;text-decoration:underline">Coal Ash Costs</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In April 2024, the EPA issued the 2024 CCR Rule, which significantly expands the scope of the 2015 CCR Rule by establishing regulatory requirements for inactive surface impoundments at retired generating facilities and previously unregulated coal ash sources at regulated facilities. Duke Energy is participating in legal challenges to the 2024 CCR Rule. Cost recovery for future expenditures is anticipated and will be pursued through the normal ratemaking process with federal and state utility commissions, which permit recovery of reasonable and prudently incurred costs associated with Duke Energy&#8217;s regulated operations.

Compliance with EPA Rule 111 as issued would have a material impact on the timing, nature and magnitude of future generation investments in our service territories. Cost recovery for future expenditures will be pursued through the normal ratemaking process with federal and state utility commissions, which permit recovery of reasonable and prudently incurred costs associated with Duke Energy&#8217;s regulated operations. Duke Energy is participating in legal challenges to the final rules. In June 2025, the EPA published a proposed rule to repeal EPA Rule 111 as well as an alternative proposal to repeal a narrower set of requirements.

Completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval from the TPUC. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated. Failure to obtain required approvals or satisfy other conditions in the purchase agreement could result in termination of the transaction. The purchase agreement contains certain termination rights and provides that the buyer may be required to pay a termination fee for an amount equal to 6.5% of the purchase price to Piedmont upon termination of the purchase agreement under certain circumstances. Termination of the purchase agreement could result in Duke Energy to seek alternative funding sources such as additional long-term debt and common equity issuances. Completion of the transaction would impact the operating revenues and profitability of Piedmont, including the expected recognition of a gain on sale.

2025, compared to $5.71 for the year ended December&#160;31, 2024. In addition to the drivers below, the increase in GAAP Reported Earnings/EPS was primarily due to impairments related to the 2024 South Carolina rate case and charges related to Duke Energy Indiana post-retirement benefits in the prior year, as well as charges related to certain joint venture electric transmission projects and certain renewable natural gas investments in the prior year.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">As discussed and shown in the table above, management also evaluates financial performance based on adjusted EPS.

The increase in Adjusted Earnings/Adjusted EPS was primarily due to recovery of growing infrastructure investments to serve customers and growth in our service territories, partially offset by higher operation and maintenance expense, interest expense, property taxes and depreciation on a growing asset base.</span></div><div id="if6ef0c42193f48dc8c9ea2fb5186fc13_121"></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt;margin-top:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">SEGMENT RESULTS</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The remaining information presented in this discussion of results of operations is on a GAAP basis.

Additionally, Duke Energy monitors relevant events and circumstances during the year to determine if an interim impairment test is required. Such events and circumstances include an adverse regulatory outcome, declining financial performance and deterioration of industry or market conditions. As of August 31, 2025, all of the reporting units' estimated fair value of equity exceeded the carrying value of equity. The fair values of the reporting units were calculated using a weighted combination of the income approach, which estimates fair value based on discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which estimates fair value based on market comparables within the utility and energy industries.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:107%">Estimated future cash flows under the income approach are based on Duke Energy&#8217;s internal business plan. Significant assumptions used are growth rates, future rates of return expected to result from ongoing rate regulation and discount rates. Management determines the appropriate discount rate for each of its reporting units based on the WACC for each individual reporting unit. The WACC takes into account both the after-tax cost of debt and cost of equity. A major component of the cost of equity is the current risk-free rate on 20-year U.S. Treasury bonds. In the 2025 impairment tests, Duke Energy considered implied WACCs for certain peer companies in determining the appropriate WACC rates to use in its analysis. As each reporting unit has a different risk profile based on the nature of its operations, including factors such as regulation, the WACC for each reporting unit may differ. Accordingly, the WACCs were adjusted, as appropriate, to account for company-specific risk premiums. The discount rates used for calculating the fair values as of August 31, 2025, for each of Duke Energy&#8217;s reporting units ranged from 6.5% to 6.8%. The underlying assumptions and estimates are made as of a point in time. Subsequent changes, particularly changes in the discount rates, authorized regulated rates of return or growth rates inherent in management&#8217;s estimates of future cash flows, could result in future impairment charges.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">One of the most significant assumptions utilized in determining the fair value of reporting units under the market approach is implied market multiples for certain peer companies. Management selects comparable peers based on each peer&#8217;s primary business mix, operations, and market capitalization compared to the applicable reporting unit and calculates implied market multiples based on available projected earnings guidance and peer company market values as of August 31. The implied market multiples used for calculating the fair values as of August 31, 2025, for each of Duke Energy's reporting units ranged from 9.3 to 12.4.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Duke Energy primarily operates in environments that are rate-regulated. In such environments, revenue requirements are adjusted periodically by regulators based on factors including levels of costs, sales volumes and costs of capital. Accordingly, Duke Energy&#8217;s regulated utilities operate to some degree with a buffer from the direct effects, positive or negative, of significant swings in market or economic conditions. However, significant changes in discount rates or implied market multiples over a prolonged period may have a material impact on the fair value of equity.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Duke Energy has $19&#160;billion in Goodwill at both December&#160;31, 2025, and 2024.

Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress assume prompt dismantlement of the nuclear facilities after operations are ceased. During 2020, Duke Energy Florida closed an agreement for the accelerated decommissioning of the Crystal River Unit 3 nuclear power station after receiving approval from the NRC and FPSC. The retirement obligations for the decommissioning of Crystal River Unit 3 nuclear power station are measured based on accelerated decommissioning from 2020 continuing through 2027.

See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, &#8220;Guarantees and Indemnifications,&#8221; for further details of the guarantee arrangements. Issuance of these guarantee arrangements is not required for the majority of Duke Energy&#8217;s operations. Thus, if Duke Energy discontinued issuing these guarantees, there would not be a material impact to the consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position. In 2025, Duke Energy executed ATM equity issuances pursuant to forward contracts. Settlement of the equity forward contracts is expected by December 31, 2026.

The levels of borrowing may vary significantly over the course of the year due to the timing of long-term debt financings and the impact of fluctuations in cash flows from operations. From time to time, Duke Energy&#8217;s current liabilities exceed current assets resulting from the use of short-term debt as a funding source to meet scheduled maturities of long-term debt, as well as cash needs, which can fluctuate due to the seasonality of its businesses.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">As of December&#160;31, 2025, Duke Energy had $245 million of cash on hand and $7.8 billion available under its Master Credit Facility. </span><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Duke Energy expects to have sufficient liquidity in the form of cash on hand, cash from operations and available credit capacity to support its funding needs.

These cash flows from operations are relatively stable and comprise a substantial portion of Duke Energy&#8217;s operating cash flows. Weather conditions, working capital and commodity price fluctuations and unanticipated expenses including unplanned plant outages, storms, legal costs and related settlements can affect the timing and level of cash flows from operations.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">As part of Duke Energy&#8217;s continued effort to improve its cash flows from operations and liquidity, Duke Energy works with vendors to improve terms and conditions, including the extension of payment terms. To support this effort, Duke Energy has a voluntary supply chain finance program (the &#8220;program&#8221;) under which suppliers, at their sole discretion, may sell their receivables from Duke Energy to the participating financial institution. The financial institution administers the program. Duke Energy does not issue any guarantees with respect to the program and does not participate in negotiations between suppliers and the financial institution. Duke Energy does not have an economic interest in the supplier&#8217;s decision to participate in the program and receives no interest, fees or other benefit from the financial institution based on supplier participation in the program. Suppliers&#8217; decisions on which invoices are sold do not impact Duke Energy&#8217;s payment terms, which are based on commercial terms negotiated between Duke Energy and the supplier regardless of program participation. A significant deterioration in the credit quality of Duke Energy, economic downturn or changes in the financial markets could limit the financial institutions willingness to participate in the program. Duke Energy does not believe such risk would have a material impact on our cash flows from operations or liquidity, as substantially all our payments are made outside the program.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Duke Energy believes it has sufficient liquidity resources through the commercial paper markets, and ultimately, the Master Credit Facility, to support these operations.

In certain instances, Duke Energy may utilize instruments other than senior notes, including equity-content securities such as subordinated debt or preferred stock. Proceeds will primarily be for the purpose of funding capital expenditures and debt maturities. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, "Debt and Credit Facilities," for further information regarding significant debt issuances.

While there may be a delay in timing between when these costs are incurred and when they are recovered through rates and there may be adverse impacts on the timing of cash flows as a result, changes from year to year generally do not have a material impact on operating results of these regulated operations.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Duke Energy employs established policies and procedures to manage risks associated with these market fluctuations, which may include using various commodity derivatives, such as swaps, futures, forwards and options.

Duke Energy manages interest rate exposure by limiting variable-rate exposures to a percentage of total debt and by monitoring the effects of market changes in interest rates. Duke Energy also enters into financial derivative instruments, which may include instruments such as, but not limited to, interest rate swaps, swaptions and U.S. Treasury lock agreements to manage and mitigate interest rate risk exposure.

Duke Energy manages foreign currency exchange risk exposure by entering into cross-currency swaps, a type of financial derivative instrument, which mitigate foreign currency exchange exposure. See Notes 7, 15 and 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, &#8220;Debt and Credit Facilities,&#8221; &#8220;Derivatives and Hedging&#8221; and &#8220;Fair Value Measurements," respectively.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Credit Risk</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Credit risk represents the loss that the Duke Energy Registrants would incur if a counterparty fails to perform under its contractual obligations. Where exposed to credit risk, the Duke Energy Registrants analyze the counterparty's financial condition prior to entering into an agreement and monitor exposure on an ongoing basis. The Duke Energy Registrants establish credit limits where appropriate in the context of contractual arrangements and monitor such limits. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">To reduce credit exposure, the Duke Energy Registrants seek to include netting provisions with counterparties, which permit the offset of receivables and payables with such counterparties. The Duke Energy Registrants also frequently use master agreements with credit support annexes to further mitigate certain credit exposures. The master agreements provide for a counterparty to post cash or letters of credit to the exposed party for exposure in excess of an established threshold. The threshold amount represents a negotiated unsecured credit limit for each party to the agreement, determined in accordance with the Duke Energy Registrants&#8217; internal corporate credit practices and standards. Collateral agreements generally also provide that the failure to post collateral when required is sufficient cause to terminate transactions and liquidate all positions. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Duke Energy Registrants also obtain cash, letters of credit, or surety bonds from certain counterparties to provide credit support outside of collateral agreements, where appropriate, based on a financial analysis of the counterparty and the regulatory or contractual terms and conditions applicable to each transaction. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, &#8220;Derivatives and Hedging,&#8221; for additional information regarding credit risk related to derivative instruments. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Duke Energy Registrants&#8217; principal counterparties for its electric and natural gas businesses are RTOs, distribution companies, municipalities, electric cooperatives and utilities located throughout the U.S. Exposure to these entities consists primarily of amounts due to Duke Energy Registrants for delivered electricity. Additionally, there may be potential risks associated with remarketing of energy and capacity in the event of default by wholesale power customers. The Duke Energy Registrants have concentrations of receivables from certain of such entities that may affect the Duke Energy Registrants&#8217; credit risk. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Duke Energy Registrants are also subject to credit risk from transactions with their suppliers that involve prepayments or milestone payments in conjunction with outsourcing arrangements, major construction projects and certain commodity purchases. The Duke Energy Registrants&#8217; credit exposure to such suppliers may take the form of increased costs or project delays in the event of nonperformance.

The Duke Energy Registrants mitigate this credit risk by requiring tariff customers to provide a cash deposit, letter of credit or surety bond until a satisfactory payment history is established, subject to the rules and regulations in effect in each retail jurisdiction at which time the deposit is typically refunded. Charge-offs for retail customers have historically been insignificant to the operations of the Duke Energy Registrants and are typically recovered through retail rates. Management continually monitors customer charge-offs, payment patterns and the impact of current economic conditions on customers' ability to pay their outstanding balance to ensure the adequacy of bad debt reserves. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Duke Energy Registrants provide certain non-tariff services, primarily to large commercial and industrial customers in which incurred costs, including invested capital, are intended to be recovered from the individual customer and therefore are not subject to rate recovery in the event of customer default.

These investments are exposed to price fluctuations in equity markets and changes in interest rates. The equity securities held in these pension plans are diversified to achieve broad market participation and reduce the impact of any single investment, sector or geographic region. Duke Energy has established asset allocation targets for its pension plan holdings, which take into consideration the investment objectives and the risk profile with respect to the trust in which the assets are held.

Per the NRC, Internal Revenue Code, NCUC, PSCSC and FPSC requirements, these funds may be used only for activities related to nuclear decommissioning. These investments are exposed to price fluctuations in equity markets and changes in interest rates.

EPA Rule 111 requires existing coal-fired power plants expected to operate in 2039 and beyond to reduce GHG emissions by 90% through the use of carbon capture and sequestration starting in 2032, subject to certain modifications for coal plants that retire sooner or co-fire natural gas. EPA Rule 111 also establishes GHG emissions reduction standards for new natural gas-fired EGUs, subject to carve-outs for certain smaller peaking units. The EPA did not finalize emission guidelines for GHG emissions from existing gas-fired stationary combustion turbines and signaled, before the 2024 election, that it intended to address these in a future rulemaking. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Compliance with EPA Rule 111 as issued would have a material impact on the timing, nature and magnitude of future generation investments in our service territories.

Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Basis for Opinion</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company&#8217;s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company&#8217;s financial statements based on our audits.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Critical Audit Matter</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

Management has determined it meets the criteria for the application of regulated operations accounting in preparing its financial statements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Judgment can be required to determine if otherwise recognizable incurred costs qualify to be presented as a regulatory asset and deferred because such costs are probable of future recovery in customer rates. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We identified the impact of rate regulation related to regulatory assets as a critical audit matter due to the judgments made by management, including assumptions regarding the outcome of future decisions by the Commissions to support its assertions on the likelihood of future recovery for deferred costs.

As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting.

Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Critical Audit Matter</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting.

Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Critical Audit Matter</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

Management has determined it meets the criteria for the application of regulated operations accounting in preparing its financial statements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Judgment can be required to determine if otherwise recognizable incurred costs qualify to be presented as a regulatory asset and deferred because such costs are probable of future recovery in customer rates. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We identified the impact of rate regulation related to regulatory assets as a critical audit matter due to the judgments made by management, including assumptions regarding the outcome of future decisions by the Commissions to support its assertions on the likelihood of future recovery for deferred costs.

See Note 2 for discussion of discontinued operations related to the Commercial Renewables Disposal Groups.</ix:continuation> </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Significant Accounting Policies</span></div><ix:nonNumeric contextRef="c-1" name="us-gaap:UseOfEstimates" id="f-2781" escape="true"><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Use of Estimates</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In preparing financial statements that conform to GAAP, the Duke Energy Registrants must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.</span></div></ix:nonNumeric><ix:nonNumeric contextRef="c-1" name="us-gaap:UtilityRevenueAndExpenseRecognitionPolicy" id="f-2782" escape="true"><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Regulatory Accounting</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The majority of the Duke Energy Registrants&#8217; operations are subject to price regulation for the sale of electricity and natural gas by state utility commissions or FERC. When prices are set on the basis of specific costs of the regulated operations and an effective franchise is in place such that sufficient electric services or natural gas can be sold to recover those costs, the Duke Energy Registrants apply regulatory accounting. Regulatory accounting changes the timing of the recognition of costs or revenues relative to a company that does not apply regulatory accounting. As a result, regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Regulatory assets and liabilities are amortized consistent with the treatment of the related cost in the ratemaking process. Regulatory assets are reviewed for recoverability each reporting period. If a regulatory asset is no longer deemed probable of recovery, the deferred cost is charged to earnings. See Note 4 for further information.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Regulatory accounting rules also require recognition of a disallowance (also called "impairment") loss if it becomes probable that part of the cost of a plant under construction (or a recently completed plant or an abandoned plant) will be disallowed for ratemaking purposes and a reasonable estimate of the amount of the disallowance can be made. For example, if a cost cap is set for a plant still under construction, the amount of the disallowance is a result of a judgment as to the ultimate cost of the plant. These disallowances can require judgments on allowed future rate recovery.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">When it becomes probable that regulated generation, transmission or distribution assets will be abandoned, the cost of the asset is removed from plant in service. The value that may be retained as a regulatory asset on the balance sheet for the abandoned property is dependent upon amounts that may be recovered through regulated rates, including any return. As such, an impairment charge could be partially or fully offset by the establishment of a regulatory asset if rate recovery is probable. The impairment charge for a disallowance of costs for regulated plants under construction, recently completed or abandoned is based on discounted cash flows.</span></div></ix:nonNumeric><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"><ix:nonNumeric contextRef="c-1" name="us-gaap:CapitalizationAndAmortizationOfFuelCostsPolicy" id="f-2783" escape="true">The Duke Energy Registrants utilize cost-tracking mechanisms, commonly referred to as fuel adjustment clauses or PGA clauses. These clauses allow for the recovery of fuel and fuel-related costs, portions of purchased power, natural gas costs and hedging costs through surcharges on customer rates. The difference between the costs incurred and the surcharge revenues is recorded either as an adjustment to Operating Revenues, Operating Expenses &#8211; Fuel used in electric generation or Operating Expenses &#8211; Cost of natural gas on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, with an off-setting impact on regulatory assets or liabilities</ix:nonNumeric>.</span></div></ix:continuation><div style="height:45pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:center"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">122</span></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"/><div style="min-height:45pt;width:100%"><div style="margin-top:5pt;text-align:center"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;display:inline-table;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:99.415%"><tr><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:32.282%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:65.518%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#828282;border-bottom:1pt solid #828282;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle"><span style="color:#ffffff;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:100%">FINANCIAL STATEMENTS</span></td><td colspan="3" style="border-bottom:1pt solid #828282;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom"><span style="color:#828282;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:100%">SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES</span></td></tr></table></div></div><ix:continuation id="f-2765-3" continuedAt="f-2765-4"><ix:nonNumeric contextRef="c-1" name="us-gaap:CashAndCashEquivalentsPolicyTextBlock" id="f-2784" continuedAt="f-2784-1" escape="true"><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash</span></div></ix:nonNumeric><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"><ix:continuation id="f-2784-1">All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition are considered cash equivalents.

Unrealized gains and losses for debt securities classified as AFS are included in AOCI until realized, unless it is determined the carrying value of an investment has a credit loss. For certain investments of regulated operations, such as substantially all of the NDTF, realized and unrealized gains and losses (including any credit losses) on debt securities are recorded as a regulatory asset or liability. The credit loss portion of debt securities of nonregulated operations are included in earnings. Investments in debt and equity securities are classified as either current or noncurrent based on management&#8217;s intent and ability to sell these securities, taking into consideration current market liquidity. </ix:continuation>See Note 16 for further information.</span></div><ix:nonNumeric contextRef="c-1" name="us-gaap:GoodwillAndIntangibleAssetsPolicyTextBlock" id="f-2893" continuedAt="f-2893-1" escape="true"><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Goodwill</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Duke Energy, Progress Energy, Duke Energy Ohio and Piedmont perform annual goodwill impairment tests as of August&#160;31 each year at the reporting unit level, which is determined to be a business segment or one level below.

The estimated cash flows may be based on alternative expected outcomes that are probability weighted. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable based on these estimated future undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value of the asset is written down to its then current estimated fair value and an impairment charge is recognized.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Duke Energy Registrants assess fair value of long-lived assets that are held and used using various methods, including recent comparable third-party sales, internally developed discounted cash flow analysis and analysis from outside advisors.

The Duke Energy Registrants capitalize all construction-related direct labor and material costs, as well as indirect construction costs such as general engineering, taxes and financing costs. See &#8220;Allowance for Funds Used During Construction and Interest Capitalized&#8221; section below for information on capitalized financing costs. Costs of renewals and betterments that extend the useful life of property, plant and equipment are also capitalized. The cost of repairs, replacements and major maintenance projects that do not extend the useful life or increase the expected output of the asset are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is generally computed over the estimated useful life of the asset using the composite straight-line method. Depreciation studies are conducted periodically to update composite rates and are approved by state utility commissions and/or the FERC when required. <ix:nonNumeric contextRef="c-1"

original cost plus the cost of retirement, less salvage value and any depreciation already recognized, is charged to accumulated depreciation. However, when it becomes probable the asset will be retired substantially in advance of its original expected useful life or is abandoned, the cost of the asset and the corresponding accumulated depreciation is recognized as a separate asset. If the asset is still in operation, the net amount is classified as Facilities to be retired, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. If the asset is no longer operating, the net amount is classified in Regulatory assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets if deemed recoverable (see discussion of long-lived asset impairments above). The carrying value of the asset is based on historical cost if the Duke Energy Registrants are allowed to recover the remaining net book value and a return equal to at least the incremental borrowing rate. If not, an impairment is recognized to the extent the net book value of the asset exceeds the present value of future revenues discounted at the incremental borrowing rate.</span></div></ix:nonNumeric><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"><ix:continuation id="f-2895-1">When the Duke Energy Registrants sell entire regulated operating units, the original cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization balances are removed from Property, Plant and Equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

promised goods and services in an amount that reflects consideration expected in exchange for those goods or services. Generally, the delivery of electricity and natural gas results in the transfer of control to customers at the time the commodity is delivered and the amount of revenue recognized is equal to the amount billed to each customer, including estimated volumes delivered when billings have not yet occurred. See Note 19 for further information.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Alternative Revenue Programs</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Duke Energy accounts for certain types of programs established by the regulators in the states in which it operates, including decoupling mechanisms, as alternative revenue programs. Alternative revenue programs are contracts between an entity and its regulator, not a contract between an entity and a customer. Revenue arising from alternative revenue programs is presented as Regulated electric revenues and Regulated natural gas revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Revenue from alternative revenue programs is recognized in the period they are earned (i.e., during the period of revenue shortfall or excess due to fluctuations in customer usage or when specific targets are met resulting in the achievement of performance incentives or penalties) and a regulatory asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets is established, which is subsequently billed or refunded to customers. Duke Energy recognizes revenue as alternative revenue programs for programs that have been authorized for rate recovery, are objectively determinable and probable of recovery, and are expected to be collected within 24 months. See Note 19 for disaggregated revenue information including revenue from contracts with customers and revenues recognized as alternative revenue programs.</span></div></ix:nonNumeric><ix:nonNumeric contextRef="c-1" name="us-gaap:DerivativesPolicyTextBlock" id="f-2946" escape="true"><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Derivatives and Hedging</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Derivative and non-derivative instruments may be used in connection with commodity price and interest rate activities, including swaps, futures, forwards and options. All derivative instruments, except those that qualify for the NPNS exception, are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Qualifying derivative instruments may be designated as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges. Other derivative instruments (undesignated contracts) either have not been designated or do not qualify as hedges. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of cash flow hedges is recorded in AOCI. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of a fair value hedge is offset in net income by changes in the hedged item. For activity subject to regulatory accounting, gains and losses on derivative contracts are reflected as regulatory assets or liabilities and not as other comprehensive income or current period income. As a result, changes in fair value of these derivatives have no immediate earnings impact.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Formal documentation, including transaction type and risk management strategy, is maintained for all contracts accounted for as a hedge.

Duke Energy Ohio proposed a new rider mechanism relating to electric distribution infrastructure modernization programs, which may be enabled by and partially funded through federal or state funding opportunities, as well as future battery storage projects, and two electric vehicle programs. Additional proposals included new rider mechanisms related to solar for all investments for low-income and disadvantaged communities, low-income senior citizen bill assistance, and EE and demand-side management programs. </span></div></ix:continuation><div style="height:45pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:center"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">156</span></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"/><div style="min-height:45pt;width:100%"><div style="margin-top:5pt;text-align:center"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;display:inline-table;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:99.415%"><tr><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:32.282%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:65.518%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#828282;border-bottom:1pt solid #828282;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle"><span style="color:#ffffff;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:100%">FINANCIAL STATEMENTS</span></td><td colspan="3" style="border-bottom:1pt solid #828282;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom"><span style="color:#828282;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:100%">REGULATORY MATTERS</span></td></tr></table></div></div><ix:continuation id="f-4451-16" continuedAt="f-4451-17"><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In November 2024, Duke Energy Ohio filed a stipulation that the majority of the intervenors signed as either signatory or non-opposing parties.

The OCC contends this is required because Ohio law mandates that transmission owning utilities join an RTO and that the 50 basis point adder is only applicable where RTO membership is voluntary. On December 15, 2022, FERC denied the complaint as it related to Duke Energy Ohio, but granted it for certain other transmission providers. As a result of appeal by certain other transmission providers, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (Sixth Circuit) on January 17, 2025, reversed the prior decision from FERC. In the decision, the Sixth Circuit ruled the 50 basis point adder is available only where RTO membership is voluntary. The decision noted that Ohio law requires Ohio's transmission utilities to be a member of an RTO and therefore it is unlawful for FERC to remove the adder from certain transmission providers but not also remove the adder from Duke Energy Ohio. As a result, the issue was remanded back to FERC to revise their prior decision. As a result of the ruling, Duke Energy Ohio recognized a pretax charge during 2025, the results of which were not material. On March 26, 2025, the Sixth Circuit denied requests for rehearing. On April 16, 2025, the Sixth Circuit agreed to stay the mandate pending further appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. On July 17, 2025, Duke Energy Ohio filed a respondent brief at the U.S. Supreme Court requesting review of the Sixth Circuit's decision. On November 10, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the appeal, and on November 13, 2025, the Sixth Circuit remanded the case back to FERC. An order from the FERC is expected in the first quarter of 2026.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Duke Energy Kentucky 2022 Electric Base Rate Case</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In December 2022, Duke Energy Kentucky filed a base rate case with the KPSC driven by capital investments to strengthen the electricity generation and delivery systems along with adjusted depreciation rates for the East Bend and Woodsdale CT generation stations.

The OUCC and the Duke Industrial Group appealed.

On August 26, 2025, the Indiana Court of Appeals reversed the decision by the IURC concluding that the IURC incorrectly allowed Duke Energy Indiana to collect those coal ash costs from customers. In October 2025, Duke Energy Indiana and the Indiana Office of Attorney General filed separate petitions requesting the Indiana Supreme Court to review the case.

The Duke Industrial Group filed a petition to transfer to the Indiana Supreme Court. On December 19, 2024, the Indiana Supreme Court affirmed the Indiana Court of Appeals decision, concluding there was substantial evidence that the IURC's conclusion was reasonable and the TDSIC 2.0 plan met the statutory requirements.

The Duke Energy Registrants&#8217; coverage includes (i) commercial general liability coverage for liabilities arising to third parties for bodily injury and property damage; (ii) workers&#8217; compensation; (iii) automobile liability coverage; and (iv) property coverage for all real and personal property damage. Real and personal property damage coverage excludes electric transmission and distribution lines, but includes damages arising from boiler and machinery breakdowns, earthquakes, flood damage and extra expense, but not outage or replacement power coverage. All coverage is subject to certain deductibles or retentions, sublimits, exclusions, terms and conditions common for companies with similar types of operations. The Duke Energy Registrants self-insure their electric transmission and distribution lines against loss due to storm damage and other natural disasters. As discussed further in Note 4, Duke Energy Florida maintains a storm damage reserve and has a regulatory mechanism to recover the cost of named storms on an expedited basis.

These include certain properties that are part of ongoing operations and sites formerly owned or used by Duke Energy entities. These sites are in various stages of investigation, remediation and monitoring. Managed in conjunction with relevant federal, state and local agencies, remediation activities vary based upon site conditions and location, remediation requirements, complexity and sharing of responsibility. If remediation activities involve joint and several liability provisions, strict liability, or cost recovery or contribution actions, the Duke Energy Registrants could potentially be held responsible for environmental impacts caused by other potentially responsible parties and may also benefit from insurance policies or contractual indemnities that cover some or all cleanup costs. Liabilities are recorded when losses become probable and are reasonably estimable. The total costs that may be incurred cannot be estimated because the extent of environmental impact, allocation among potentially responsible parties, remediation alternatives and/or regulatory decisions have not yet been determined at all sites. Additional costs associated with remediation activities are likely to be incurred in the future and could be significant. Costs are typically expensed as Operation, maintenance and other in the Consolidated Statements of Operations unless regulatory recovery of the costs is deemed probable.</span></div></ix:continuation><div style="height:45pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:center"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">162</span></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"/><div style="min-height:45pt;width:100%"><div style="margin-top:5pt;text-align:center"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;display:inline-table;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:99.415%"><tr><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:32.282%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:65.518%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#828282;border-bottom:1pt solid #828282;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle"><span style="color:#ffffff;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:100%">FINANCIAL STATEMENTS</span></td><td colspan="3" style="border-bottom:1pt solid #828282;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom"><span style="color:#828282;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:100%">COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES</span></td></tr></table></div></div><ix:continuation id="f-5129-3" continuedAt="f-5129-4"><ix:nonNumeric contextRef="c-1" name="us-gaap:ScheduleOfLossContingenciesByContingencyTextBlock" id="f-5163" escape="true"><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The following table contains information regarding reserves for probable and estimable costs related to the various environmental sites.

Energy (Parent), Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress (collectively &#8220;Duke Energy&#8221;) on behalf of a putative class alleging past and ongoing environmental contamination in the Mooresville area of North Carolina. The lawsuit alleges that Duke Energy disposed of and sold coal ash as structural fill resulting in the contamination of soil, groundwater and Lake Norman. The plaintiffs claim that Duke Energy failed to properly remediate the contamination and continues to pollute, and they assert that the contamination has negatively impacted property values. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, injunctive relief to stop further contamination, remediation of contaminated areas and attorneys' fees and costs. On July 28, 2025, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which asserts claims for negligence, negligence per se, gross negligence, private nuisance, strict liability for ultra-hazardous activities and trespass. On September 11, 2025, Duke Energy filed its answer to the plaintiff's amended complaint and a motion for judgment on the pleadings. Following a hearing on December 29, 2025, the court entered an interim order dismissing the plaintiffs&#8217; strict liability claim.

In September 2019, Duke Energy Carolinas filed a lawsuit in Mecklenburg County Superior Court against NTE for breach of contract, alleging that NTE's failure to pay benchmark payments for Duke Energy Carolinas' transmission system upgrades required under the interconnection agreement constituted a termination of the interconnection agreement. Duke Energy Carolinas sought a monetary judgment against NTE because NTE failed to make multiple milestone payments. The lawsuit was moved to federal court in North Carolina. NTE filed a motion to dismiss Duke Energy Carolinas&#8217; complaint and brought counterclaims alleging anti-competitive conduct and violations of state and federal statutes. Duke Energy Carolinas filed a motion to dismiss NTE's counterclaims. Both NTE's and Duke Energy Carolinas' motions to dismiss were subsequently denied by the court.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">On May 21, 2020, in response to a NTE petition challenging Duke Energy Carolinas' termination of the LGIA, FERC issued a ruling that 1) it has exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether a transmission provider may terminate an LGIA; 2) FERC approval is required to terminate a conforming LGIA if objected to by the interconnection customer; and 3) Duke Energy may not announce the termination of a conforming LGIA unless FERC has approved the termination. FERC's Office of Enforcement also initiated an investigation of Duke Energy Carolinas into matters pertaining to the LGIA. In April 2023, Duke Energy Carolinas received notice from the FERC Office of Enforcement that they have closed their non-public investigation with no further action recommended.</span></div></ix:continuation><div style="height:45pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:center"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">163</span></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"/><div style="min-height:45pt;width:100%"><div style="margin-top:5pt;text-align:center"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;display:inline-table;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:99.415%"><tr><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:32.282%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:65.518%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#828282;border-bottom:1pt solid #828282;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle"><span style="color:#ffffff;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:100%">FINANCIAL STATEMENTS</span></td><td colspan="3" style="border-bottom:1pt solid #828282;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom"><span style="color:#828282;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:100%">COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES</span></td></tr></table></div></div><ix:continuation id="f-5129-4" continuedAt="f-5129-5"><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Following completion of discovery, Duke Energy Carolinas filed a motion for summary judgment seeking a ruling in its favor as to some of its affirmative claims against NTE and to all of NTE&#8217;s counterclaims.

The lease agreement was evaluated as a sale-leaseback of real estate but did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting. As a result, the transaction is accounted for as a financing. Duke Energy Carolinas recorded the real estate on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within Property, Plant and Equipment as if it is the legal owner and recognizes depreciation expense over the estimated useful life. In addition, the failed sale-leaseback obligation is reported within Long-Term Debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with the monthly lease payments split between interest expense and debt principal.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Piedmont has certain agreements for the construction and transportation of natural gas pipelines to supply Duke Energy Carolinas' natural gas plant needs.

discount rate is calculated using the rate implicit in a lease if it is readily determinable. Generally, the rate used by the lessor is not provided to Duke Energy and in these cases the incremental borrowing rate is used. Duke Energy will typically use its fully collateralized incremental borrowing rate as of the commencement date to calculate and record the lease. The incremental borrowing rate is influenced by the lessee&#8217;s credit rating and lease term and as such may differ for individual leases, embedded leases or portfolios of leased

The changes in the conversion rates are intended to make convertible note holders whole for changes in the fair value of Duke Energy common stock resulting from such events. Duke Energy may not redeem the convertible notes prior to the maturity date and payments due as a result of a conversion of a convertible note would not constitute an event of default under the Master Credit Facility.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Duke Energy issued the convertible notes pursuant to an indenture, dated as of April 6, 2023, by and between Duke Energy and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The terms of the convertible notes include customary fundamental change provisions that require repayment of the notes with interest upon certain events, such as a stockholder approved plan of liquidation or if Duke Energy's common stock ceases to be listed on the NYSE.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">AVAILABLE CREDIT FACILITIES</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Master Credit Facility</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In March 2025, Duke Energy extended the termination date of its existing Master Credit Facility to March 2030 and increased its capacity from $<ix:nonFraction unitRef="usd" contextRef="c-1532" decimals="-9" name="us-gaap:LineOfCreditFacilityMaximumBorrowingCapacity" scale="9" id="f-6341">9</ix:nonFraction>&#160;billion to $<ix:nonFraction unitRef="usd" contextRef="c-1533" decimals="-9" name="us-gaap:LineOfCreditFacilityMaximumBorrowingCapacity" scale="9" id="f-6342">10</ix:nonFraction>&#160;billion.

In April 2024, the EPA issued the 2024 CCR Rule, which significantly expanded the scope of the 2015 CCR Rule by establishing regulatory requirements for inactive surface impoundments at retired generating facilities and previously unregulated coal ash sources at regulated facilities. AROs recorded on the Duke Energy Registrants' Consolidated Balance Sheets include the legal obligation for closure of coal ash basins and the disposal of related ash as a result of these regulations and agreements. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The ARO amount recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets is based upon estimated closure costs for impacted ash impoundments. The amount recorded represents the discounted cash flows for estimated closure costs based upon specific closure plans. Actual costs to be incurred will be dependent upon factors that vary from site to site. The most significant factors are the method and time frame of closure at the individual sites. Closure methods considered include removing the water from ash basins, consolidating material as necessary and capping the ash with a synthetic barrier. The ultimate method and timetable for closure will be in compliance with standards set by federal and state regulations and other agreements. The ARO amount will be adjusted as additional information is gained through the closure and post-closure process, including acceptance and approval of compliance approaches, which may change management assumptions, and may result in a material change to the balance. See the ARO Liability Rollforward section below for information on revisions made to the coal ash liability during 2025 and 2024.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Asset retirement costs associated with the AROs for operating plants and retired plants are included in Net property, plant and equipment and Regulatory assets, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Registrants use commodity, interest rate and foreign currency contracts to manage commodity price risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. The primary use of commodity derivatives is to hedge the generation portfolio against changes in the prices of electricity and natural gas. Piedmont enters into natural gas supply contracts to provide diversification, reliability and natural gas cost benefits to its customers. Interest rate derivatives are used to manage interest rate risk associated with borrowings. Foreign currency derivatives are used to manage risk related to foreign currency exchange rates on certain issuances of debt.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">All derivative instruments not identified as NPNS are recorded at fair value as assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Interest rate risk is managed by limiting variable-rate exposures to a percentage of total debt and by monitoring changes in interest rates. To manage risk associated with changes in interest rates, the Duke Energy Registrants may enter into interest rate swaps, U.S. Treasury lock agreements and other financial contracts. In anticipation of certain fixed-rate debt issuances, a series of forward-starting interest rate swaps or Treasury locks may be executed to lock in components of current market interest rates. These instruments are later terminated prior to or upon the issuance of the corresponding debt. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Cash Flow Hedges</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">For a derivative designated as hedging the exposure to variable cash flows of a future transaction, referred to as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the derivative's gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings once the future transaction impacts earnings. Amounts for interest rate contracts are reclassified to earnings as interest expense over the term of the related debt. Gains and losses reclassified out of AOCI for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, were not material. Duke Energy's interest rate derivatives designated as hedges include forward-starting interest rate swaps not accounted for under regulatory accounting.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Undesignated Contracts</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Undesignated contracts primarily include contracts not designated as a hedge because they are accounted for under regulatory accounting or contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Duke Energy&#8217;s interest rate swaps for its regulated operations employ regulatory accounting. With regulatory accounting, the mark-to-market gains or losses on the swaps are deferred as regulatory liabilities or regulatory assets, respectively. Regulatory assets and liabilities are amortized consistent with the treatment of the related costs in the ratemaking process. The accrual of interest on the swaps is recorded as Interest Expense on the Duke Energy Registrant's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. </span></div></ix:continuation><div

purchased and sold in bulk power markets and natural gas purchases, including Piedmont's natural gas supply contracts. Exposure to commodity price risk is influenced by a number of factors including the term of contracts, the liquidity of markets and delivery locations. To manage risk associated with commodity prices, the Duke Energy Registrants may enter into long-term power purchase or sales contracts and long-term natural gas supply agreements.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Undesignated Contracts</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">For the Subsidiary Registrants, bulk power electricity and natural gas purchases flow through fuel adjustment clauses, formula-based contracts or other cost-sharing mechanisms. Differences between the costs included in rates and the incurred costs, including undesignated derivative contracts, are largely deferred as regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities. Piedmont policies allow for the use of financial instruments to hedge commodity price risks. The strategy and objective of these hedging programs are to use the financial instruments to reduce natural gas cost volatility for customers.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Volumes</span></div><ix:continuation id="f-7038-1" continuedAt="f-7038-2"><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The tables below include volumes of outstanding commodity derivatives.

an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value definition focuses on an exit price versus the acquisition cost. Fair value measurements use market data or assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs may be readily observable, corroborated by market data, or generally unobservable. Valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. A midmarket pricing convention (the midpoint price between bid and ask prices) is permitted for use as a practical expedient.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Fair value measurements are classified in three levels based on the fair value hierarchy as defined by GAAP. Certain investments are not categorized within the fair value hierarchy. These investments are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The net asset value is derived based on the investment cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Fair value accounting guidance permits entities to elect to measure certain financial instruments that are not required to be accounted for at fair value, such as equity method investments or the Company&#8217;s own debt, at fair value. The Duke Energy Registrants have not elected to record any of these items at fair value.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Valuation methods of the primary fair value measurements disclosed below are as follows.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Investments in equity securities</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The majority of investments in equity securities are valued using Level 1 measurements. Investments in equity securities are typically valued at the closing price in the principal active market as of the last business day of the quarter. Principal active markets for equity prices include published exchanges such as the NYSE and Nasdaq Stock Market. Foreign equity prices are translated from their trading currency using the currency exchange rate in effect at the close of the principal active market. There was no after-hours market activity that was required to be reflected in the reported fair value measurements. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Investments in debt securities</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Most investments in debt securities are valued using Level 2 measurements because the valuations use interest rate curves and credit spreads applied to the terms of the debt instrument (maturity and coupon interest rate) and consider the counterparty credit rating. If the market for a particular fixed-income security is relatively inactive or illiquid, the measurement is Level 3.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Commodity derivatives</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Commodity derivatives with clearinghouses are classified as Level 1. Commodity derivatives with observable forward curves are classified as Level 2. If forward price curves are not observable for the full term of the contract and the unobservable period had more than an insignificant impact on the valuation, the commodity derivative is classified as Level 3. In isolation, increases (decreases) in natural gas forward prices result in favorable (unfavorable) fair value adjustments for natural gas purchase contracts; and increases (decreases) in electricity forward prices result in unfavorable (favorable) fair value adjustments for electricity sales contracts. Duke Energy regularly evaluates and validates pricing inputs used to estimate the fair value of certain commodity contracts by a market participant price verification procedure. This procedure provides a comparison of internal forward commodity curves to market participant generated curves.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Interest rate derivatives</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Most over-the-counter interest rate contract derivatives are valued using financial models that utilize observable inputs for similar instruments and are classified as Level 2.

control. The analysis to determine whether an entity is a VIE considers contracts with an entity, credit support for an entity, the adequacy of the equity investment of an entity and the relationship of voting power to the amount of equity invested in an entity. This analysis is performed either upon the creation of a legal entity or upon the occurrence of an event requiring reevaluation, such as a significant change in an entity&#8217;s assets or activities. A qualitative analysis of control determines the party that consolidates a VIE. This assessment is based on (i) what party has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and (ii) what party has rights to receive benefits or is obligated to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The analysis of the party that consolidates a VIE is a continual reassessment. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">CONSOLIDATED VIEs</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The obligations of the consolidated VIEs discussed in the following paragraphs are nonrecourse to the Duke Energy Registrants.

The storm recovery bonds are secured by the storm recovery property and cash collections from the storm recovery charges are the sole source of funds to satisfy the debt obligation. The bondholders have no recourse to Duke Energy Carolinas or Duke Energy Progress. These entities are considered VIEs primarily because their equity capitalization is insufficient to support their operations. Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress have the power to direct the significant activities of the VIEs as described above and therefore Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress are considered the primary beneficiaries.

As such, the majority of Duke Energy&#8217;s revenues have fixed pricing based on the contractual terms of the published tariffs. Absent decoupling mechanisms, the variability in expected cash flows of the majority of Duke Energy's revenue is attributable to the customer&#8217;s volumetric demand and ultimate quantities of energy or natural gas supplied and used during the billing period. The stand-alone selling price of related sales are designed to support recovery of prudently incurred costs and an appropriate return on invested assets and are primarily governed by published tariff rates or contractual agreements approved by relevant regulatory bodies. As described in Note 1, certain excise taxes and franchise fees levied by state or local governments are required to be paid even if not collected from the customer. These taxes are recognized on a gross basis as part of revenues. Duke Energy elects to account for all other taxes net of revenues.</span></div></ix:continuation></ix:continuation><div style="height:45pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:center"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">204</span></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"/><div style="min-height:45pt;width:100%"><div style="margin-top:5pt;text-align:center"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;display:inline-table;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:99.415%"><tr><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:32.282%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:65.518%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#828282;border-bottom:1pt solid #828282;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle"><span style="color:#ffffff;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:100%">FINANCIAL STATEMENTS</span></td><td colspan="3" style="border-bottom:1pt solid #828282;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom"><span style="color:#828282;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:100%">REVENUE</span></td></tr></table></div></div><ix:continuation id="f-8331-2" continuedAt="f-8331-3"><ix:continuation id="f-2945-2"><div style="margin-bottom:8pt;padding-right:6.75pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Performance obligations are satisfied over time as energy or natural gas is delivered and consumed with billings generally occurring monthly and related payments due within 30 days, depending on regulatory requirements.

The standard service offers are through tariffs determined by regulators in Duke Energy's regulated service territory. Each tariff, which is assigned to customers based on customer class, has multiple components such as an energy charge, a demand charge, a basic facilities charge and applicable riders. Duke Energy considers each of these components to be aggregated into a single performance obligation for providing electric service, or in the case of distribution only customers in Duke Energy Ohio, for delivering electricity. Electricity is considered a single performance obligation satisfied over time consistent with the series guidance and is provided and consumed over the billing period, generally one month. Retail electric service is typically provided to at-will customers who can cancel service at any time, without a substantive penalty. Additionally, Duke Energy adheres to applicable regulatory requirements in each jurisdiction to ensure the collectability of amounts billed and appropriate mitigating procedures are followed when necessary. As such, revenue from contracts with customers for such contracts is equivalent to the electricity supplied and billed in that period (including unbilled estimates).</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt;padding-right:6.75pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Wholesale electric service is generally provided under long-term contracts using cost-based pricing. FERC regulates costs that may be recovered from customers and the amount of return companies are permitted to earn. Wholesale contracts include both energy and demand charges. For full requirements contracts, Duke Energy considers both charges as a single performance obligation for providing integrated electric service. For contracts where energy and demand charges are considered separate performance obligations, energy and demand are each a distinct performance obligation under the series guidance and are satisfied as energy is delivered and stand-ready service is provided on a monthly basis. This service represents consumption over the billing period and revenue is recognized consistent with billings and unbilled estimates, which generally occur monthly. Contractual amounts owed are typically trued up annually based upon incurred costs in accordance with FERC published filings and the specific customer&#8217;s actual peak demand. Estimates of variable consideration related to potential additional billings or refunds owed are updated quarterly. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt;padding-right:6.75pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The majority of wholesale revenues are full requirements contracts where the customers purchase the substantial majority of their energy needs and do not have a fixed quantity of contractually required energy or capacity.

The tariff rates are established by regulators in Duke Energy's service territories. Each tariff, which is assigned to customers based on customer class, have multiple components, such as a commodity charge, demand charge, customer or monthly charge and transportation costs. Duke Energy considers each of these components to be aggregated into a single performance obligation for providing natural gas service. For contracts where Duke Energy provides all of the customer&#8217;s natural gas needs, the delivery of natural gas is considered a single performance obligation satisfied over time, and revenue is recognized monthly based on billings and unbilled estimates as service is provided and the commodity is consumed over the billing period. Additionally, natural gas service is typically at will and customers can cancel service at any time, without a substantive penalty.

as each respective customer class collectively represents unique customer expectations of service, generally has different energy and demand requirements, and operates under tailored, regulatory approved pricing structures. Additionally, each customer class is impacted differently by weather and a variety of economic factors including the level of population growth, economic investment, employment levels, and regulatory activities in each of Duke Energy&#8217;s jurisdictions. As such, analyzing revenues disaggregated by customer class allows Duke Energy to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

risk of loss over the life of the receivable and current and historical conditions using supportable assumptions. Management evaluates the risk of loss for trade and other receivables by comparing the historical write-off amounts to total revenue over a specified period. Historical loss rates are adjusted due to the impact of current conditions, as well as forecasted conditions over a reasonable time period. The calculated write-off rate can be applied to the receivable balance for which an established reserve does not already exist.

Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other agreements to issue common stock, such as convertible debt or equity forward sale agreements, are exercised or settled.

The model uses three-year historical volatilities and correlations for all companies in the predefined peer group, including Duke Energy, to simulate Duke Energy&#8217;s relative TSR as of the end of the performance period. For each simulation, Duke Energy&#8217;s relative TSR associated with the simulated stock price at the end of the performance period plus expected dividends within the period results in a value per share for the award portfolio. The average of these simulations is the expected portfolio value per share. Actual life to date results of Duke Energy&#8217;s relative TSR for each grant are incorporated within the model. For performance awards granted in 2025, the model used a risk-free interest rate of <ix:nonFraction unitRef="number" contextRef="c-2491" decimals="4"

pension expense is based on a bond selection-settlement portfolio approach. This approach develops a discount rate by selecting a portfolio of high-quality corporate bonds that generate sufficient cash flow to provide for projected benefit payments of the plan. The selected bond portfolio is derived from a universe of non-callable corporate bonds rated Aa quality or higher. After the bond portfolio is selected, a single interest rate is determined that equates the present value of the plan&#8217;s projected benefit payments discounted at this rate with the market value of the bonds selected.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The RCBP contains a mostly active participant population while the DELPP contains a mostly inactive participant population.

post-retirement benefits obligation and following year&#8217;s other post-retirement benefits expense is based on a bond selection-settlement portfolio approach. This approach develops a discount rate by selecting a portfolio of high-quality corporate bonds that generate sufficient cash flow to provide for projected benefit payments of the plan. The selected bond portfolio is derived from a universe of non-callable corporate bonds rated Aa quality or higher. After the bond portfolio is selected, a single interest rate is determined that equates the present value of the plan&#8217;s projected benefit payments discounted at this rate with the market value of the bonds selected. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The average remaining

The expected long-term rate of return was developed using a weighted average calculation of expected returns based primarily on future expected returns across asset classes considering the use of active asset managers, where applicable. The asset allocation targets were set after considering the investment objective and the risk profile. Equity securities are held for their higher expected returns. Debt securities are primarily held to hedge the qualified pension plan. Return seeking debt securities, hedge funds and other global securities are held for diversification. Investments within asset classes are diversified to achieve broad market participation and reduce the impact of individual managers or investments. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Effective January 1, 2026, the target asset allocation for the RCBP assets is <ix:nonFraction unitRef="number" contextRef="c-2655" decimals="2" name="us-gaap:DefinedBenefitPlanPlanAssetsTargetAllocationPercentage" scale="-2" id="f-10111">45</ix:nonFraction>% liability hedging and <ix:nonFraction unitRef="number" contextRef="c-2656" decimals="2" name="us-gaap:DefinedBenefitPlanPlanAssetsTargetAllocationPercentage" scale="-2" id="f-10112">55</ix:nonFraction>% return-seeking assets and the target asset allocation for the DELPP assets is <ix:nonFraction unitRef="number" contextRef="c-2657" decimals="2" name="us-gaap:DefinedBenefitPlanPlanAssetsTargetAllocationPercentage" scale="-2" id="f-10113">65</ix:nonFraction>% liability hedging assets and <ix:nonFraction unitRef="number" contextRef="c-2658" decimals="2" name="us-gaap:DefinedBenefitPlanPlanAssetsTargetAllocationPercentage" scale="-2" id="f-10114">35</ix:nonFraction>% return-seeking assets.

Principal active markets for equity prices include published exchanges such as NASDAQ and NYSE. Foreign equity prices are translated from their trading currency using the currency exchange rate in effect at the close of the principal active market. Prices have not been adjusted to reflect after-hours market activity. The majority of investments in equity securities are valued using Level 1 measurements.

Among other provisions, the IRA implemented a new 15% corporate alternative minimum tax based on GAAP net income, with certain adjustments as defined by the IRA, and clean energy-related provisions. The IRA's clean energy provisions included, among other provisions, the extension and modification of existing investment and PTCs for projects placed in service through 2024 and introduced new technology-neutral clean energy-related tax credits beginning in 2025. In addition, the IRA created a new, zero-emission nuclear power PTC and a clean hydrogen PTC. </span></div></ix:continuation><div style="height:45pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:center"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">225</span></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"/><div style="min-height:45pt;width:100%"><div style="margin-top:5pt;text-align:center"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;display:inline-table;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:99.415%"><tr><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:32.282%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:65.518%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#828282;border-bottom:1pt solid #828282;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle"><span style="color:#ffffff;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:100%">FINANCIAL STATEMENTS</span></td><td colspan="3" style="border-bottom:1pt solid #828282;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom"><span style="color:#828282;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:100%">INCOME TAXES</span></td></tr></table></div></div><ix:continuation id="f-10299-2" continuedAt="f-10299-3"><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Duke Energy Carolinas has $<ix:nonFraction unitRef="usd" contextRef="c-101" decimals="-6" name="us-gaap:DeferredTaxAssetsLiabilitiesNet" scale="6" id="f-10300">913</ix:nonFraction>&#160;million and $<ix:nonFraction unitRef="usd" contextRef="c-102" decimals="-6" name="us-gaap:DeferredTaxAssetsLiabilitiesNet" scale="6" id="f-10301">449</ix:nonFraction>&#160;million of nuclear PTCs recorded on its consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

While transferability was preserved for tax credits established by the IRA, including the nuclear PTC, which remains available through 2032, the legislation phases out or terminates certain tax credits sooner than previously scheduled. To remain eligible for the PTC or ITC, solar and wind facilities must be placed in service by December 31, 2027, unless construction begins by July 4, 2026. For other types of facilities, the credits continue to be available at full value if construction begins by December 31, 2033, although there are new prohibited foreign entity restrictions. The OBBBA did not change the federal corporate income tax rate and did not require the remeasurement of deferred tax assets or liabilities. While there were no material current year impacts to the results of operations, financial position or cash flows for the Duke Energy Registrants as a result of the OBBBA being signed into law as of December 31, 2025, the Company will continue to evaluate the future impact of this tax law change as additional information and guidance becomes available.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">On February 18, 2026, the U.S. Treasury Department published Notice 2026-7 (Notice) providing additional interim guidance on application of the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT) under the Internal Revenue Code. The notice includes adjustments to adjusted financial statement income that permit taxpayers to deduct certain tax-deductible repairs with respect to Section 168 property for CAMT purposes, as well as other adjustments related to capitalization differences. Duke Energy is evaluating the potential impact of this Notice on its CAMT liability for the current and prior taxable years, including any required financial statement adjustments, tax provision effects, or related disclosures. Duke Energy believes the interim guidance will impact the future tax liabilities but is unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate financial statement impact pending further analysis and any forthcoming proposed or final regulations. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance to enhance income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categorization and additional disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, as well as an annual disclosure of income taxes paid information disaggregated by jurisdiction.

Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Duke Energy Registrants&#8217; management, including their Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of their internal control over financial reporting as of December&#160;31, 2025, based on the framework in the Internal Control &#8211; Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Such costs are capitalized if they meet both of the following criteria: a.

Based on available evidence, the future revenue will be provided to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost rather than to provide for expected levels of similar future costs. If the revenue will be provided through an automatic rate-adjustment clause, this criterion requires that the regulator's intent clearly be to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost.</p></div>

Based on available evidence, the future revenue will be provided to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost rather than to provide for expected levels of similar future costs.

Based on available evidence, the future revenue will be provided to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost rather than to provide for expected levels of similar future costs.

Such costs are capitalized if they meet both of the following criteria: a.

Based on available evidence, the future revenue will be provided to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost rather than to provide for expected levels of similar future costs. If the revenue will be provided through an automatic rate-adjustment clause, this criterion requires that the regulator's intent clearly be to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost.</p></div>

Such costs are capitalized if they meet both of the following criteria: a. It is probable that future revenue in an amount at least equal to the capitalized cost will result from inclusion of that cost in allowable costs for rate-making purposes. b. Based on available evidence, the future revenue will be provided to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost rather than to provide for expected levels of similar future costs. If the revenue will be provided through an automatic rate-adjustment clause, this criterion requires that the regulator's intent clearly be to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost.</p></div>

Based on available evidence, the future revenue will be provided to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost rather than to provide for expected levels of similar future costs.

Such costs are capitalized if they meet both of the following criteria: a. It is probable that future revenue in an amount at least equal to the capitalized cost will result from inclusion of that cost in allowable costs for rate-making purposes. b. Based on available evidence, the future revenue will be provided to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost rather than to provide for expected levels of similar future costs. If the revenue will be provided through an automatic rate-adjustment clause, this criterion requires that the regulator's intent clearly be to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost.</p></div>

Based on available evidence, the future revenue will be provided to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost rather than to provide for expected levels of similar future costs.

Such costs are capitalized if they meet both of the following criteria: a. It is probable that future revenue in an amount at least equal to the capitalized cost will result from inclusion of that cost in allowable costs for rate-making purposes. b. Based on available evidence, the future revenue will be provided to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost rather than to provide for expected levels of similar future costs. If the revenue will be provided through an automatic rate-adjustment clause, this criterion requires that the regulator's intent clearly be to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost.</p></div>

Such costs are capitalized if they meet both of the following criteria: a. It is probable that future revenue in an amount at least equal to the capitalized cost will result from inclusion of that cost in allowable costs for rate-making purposes. b. Based on available evidence, the future revenue will be provided to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost rather than to provide for expected levels of similar future costs. If the revenue will be provided through an automatic rate-adjustment clause, this criterion requires that the regulator's intent clearly be to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost.</p></div>

Based on available evidence, the future revenue will be provided to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost rather than to provide for expected levels of similar future costs.

Such costs are capitalized if they meet both of the following criteria: a. It is probable that future revenue in an amount at least equal to the capitalized cost will result from inclusion of that cost in allowable costs for rate-making purposes. b. Based on available evidence, the future revenue will be provided to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost rather than to provide for expected levels of similar future costs. If the revenue will be provided through an automatic rate-adjustment clause, this criterion requires that the regulator's intent clearly be to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost.</p></div>

Such costs are capitalized if they meet both of the following criteria: a. It is probable that future revenue in an amount at least equal to the capitalized cost will result from inclusion of that cost in allowable costs for rate-making purposes. b. Based on available evidence, the future revenue will be provided to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost rather than to provide for expected levels of similar future costs. If the revenue will be provided through an automatic rate-adjustment clause, this criterion requires that the regulator's intent clearly be to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost.</p></div>

continuing operations. For all periods presented, unless otherwise noted, the disclosures related to balance sheet activity exclude amounts presented as held for sale and disclosures related to income statement activity exclude amounts related to discontinued operations. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Income (Loss) From Discontinued Operations, net of tax on Duke Energy's Consolidated Statements of Operations includes amounts related to NCI. A portion of NCI on Duke Energy's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024 relates to discontinued operations.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Regulatory Accounting</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The majority of the Duke Energy Registrants&#8217; operations are subject to price regulation for the sale of electricity and natural gas by state utility commissions or FERC. When prices are set on the basis of specific costs of the regulated operations and an effective franchise is in place such that sufficient electric services or natural gas can be sold to recover those costs, the Duke Energy Registrants apply regulatory accounting. Regulatory accounting changes the timing of the recognition of costs or revenues relative to a company that does not apply regulatory accounting. As a result, regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Regulatory assets and liabilities are amortized consistent with the treatment of the related cost in the ratemaking process. Regulatory assets are reviewed for recoverability each reporting period. If a regulatory asset is no longer deemed probable of recovery, the deferred cost is charged to earnings. See Note 4 for further information.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Regulatory accounting rules also require recognition of a disallowance (also called "impairment") loss if it becomes probable that part of the cost of a plant under construction (or a recently completed plant or an abandoned plant) will be disallowed for ratemaking purposes and a reasonable estimate of the amount of the disallowance can be made. For example, if a cost cap is set for a plant still under construction, the amount of the disallowance is a result of a judgment as to the ultimate cost of the plant. These disallowances can require judgments on allowed future rate recovery.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">When it becomes probable that regulated generation, transmission or distribution assets will be abandoned, the cost of the asset is removed from plant in service. The value that may be retained as a regulatory asset on the balance sheet for the abandoned property is dependent upon amounts that may be recovered through regulated rates, including any return. As such, an impairment charge could be partially or fully offset by the establishment of a regulatory asset if rate recovery is probable. The impairment charge for a disallowance of costs for regulated plants under construction, recently completed or abandoned is based on discounted cash flows.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Duke Energy Registrants utilize cost-tracking mechanisms, commonly referred to as fuel adjustment clauses or PGA clauses. These clauses allow for the recovery of fuel and fuel-related costs, portions of purchased power, natural gas costs and hedging costs through surcharges on customer rates. The difference between the costs incurred and the surcharge revenues is recorded either as an adjustment to Operating Revenues, Operating Expenses &#8211; Fuel used in electric generation or Operating Expenses &#8211; Cost of natural gas on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, with an off-setting impact on regulatory assets or liabilities.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition are considered cash equivalents. Duke Energy, Duke Energy Carolinas, Progress Energy, Duke Energy Progress and Duke Energy Florida have restricted cash balances related primarily to collateral assets, escrow deposits and VIEs.

Inventory is charged to expense or capitalized to property, plant and equipment when issued, primarily using the average cost method. Excess or obsolete inventory is written down to the lower of cost or net realizable value. Once inventory has been written down, it creates a new cost basis for the inventory that is not subsequently written up. Provisions for inventory write-offs were not material at December&#160;31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The components of inventory are presented in the tables below.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><table

debt securities as AFS. Both categories are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on securities classified as FV-NI are reported through net income. Unrealized gains and losses for debt securities classified as AFS are included in AOCI until realized, unless it is determined the carrying value of an investment has a credit loss. For certain investments of regulated operations, such as substantially all of the NDTF, realized and unrealized gains and losses (including any credit losses) on debt securities are recorded as a regulatory asset or liability. The credit loss portion of debt securities of nonregulated operations are included in earnings. Investments in debt and equity securities are classified as either current or noncurrent based on management&#8217;s intent and ability to sell these securities, taking into consideration current market liquidity. See Note 16 for further information.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Goodwill</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Duke Energy, Progress Energy, Duke Energy Ohio and Piedmont perform annual goodwill impairment tests as of August&#160;31 each year at the reporting unit level, which is determined to be a business segment or one level below. Duke Energy, Progress Energy, Duke Energy Ohio and Piedmont update these tests between annual tests if events or circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

Generally, intangible assets are amortized using an amortization method that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or on a straight-line basis if that pattern is not readily determinable. Amortization of intangibles is reflected in Depreciation and amortization on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Intangible assets are subject to impairment testing and, if impaired, the carrying value is accordingly reduced.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Renewable energy certificates are used to measure compliance with renewable energy standards and are held primarily for consumption.

An impairment exists when a long-lived asset&#8217;s carrying value exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. The estimated cash flows may be based on alternative expected outcomes that are probability weighted. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable based on these estimated future undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value of the asset is written down to its then current estimated fair value and an impairment charge is recognized.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Duke Energy Registrants assess fair value of long-lived assets that are held and used using various methods, including recent comparable third-party sales, internally developed discounted cash flow analysis and analysis from outside advisors.

The Duke Energy Registrants capitalize all construction-related direct labor and material costs, as well as indirect construction costs such as general engineering, taxes and financing costs. See &#8220;Allowance for Funds Used During Construction and Interest Capitalized&#8221; section below for information on capitalized financing costs. Costs of renewals and betterments that extend the useful life of property, plant and equipment are also capitalized. The cost of repairs, replacements and major maintenance projects that do not extend the useful life or increase the expected output of the asset are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is generally computed over the estimated useful life of the asset using the composite straight-line method. Depreciation studies are conducted periodically to update composite rates and are approved by state utility commissions and/or the FERC when required. The composite weighted average depreciation rates, excluding nuclear fuel, are included in the table that follows.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><table

property, plant and equipment, the original cost plus the cost of retirement, less salvage value and any depreciation already recognized, is charged to accumulated depreciation. However, when it becomes probable the asset will be retired substantially in advance of its original expected useful life or is abandoned, the cost of the asset and the corresponding accumulated depreciation is recognized as a separate asset. If the asset is still in operation, the net amount is classified as Facilities to be retired, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. If the asset is no longer operating, the net amount is classified in Regulatory assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets if deemed recoverable (see discussion of long-lived asset impairments above). The carrying value of the asset is based on historical cost if the Duke Energy Registrants are allowed to recover the remaining net book value and a return equal to at least the incremental borrowing rate. If not, an impairment is recognized to the extent the net book value of the asset exceeds the present value of future revenues discounted at the incremental borrowing rate.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">When the Duke Energy Registrants sell entire regulated operating units, the original cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization balances are removed from Property, Plant and Equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The liability is accreted over time. For operating plants, the present value of the liability is added to the cost of the associated asset and depreciated over the remaining life of the asset.

The Duke Energy Registrants receive amounts to fund the cost of the ARO for regulated operations through a combination of regulated revenues and earnings on the NDTF.

style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Duke Energy recognizes revenue as customers obtain control of promised goods and services in an amount that reflects consideration expected in exchange for those goods or services. Generally, the delivery of electricity and natural gas results in the transfer of control to customers at the time the commodity is delivered and the amount of revenue recognized is equal to the amount billed to each customer, including estimated volumes delivered when billings have not yet occurred. See Note 19 for further information.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Alternative Revenue Programs</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Duke Energy accounts for certain types of programs established by the regulators in the states in which it operates, including decoupling mechanisms, as alternative revenue programs. Alternative revenue programs are contracts between an entity and its regulator, not a contract between an entity and a customer. Revenue arising from alternative revenue programs is presented as Regulated electric revenues and Regulated natural gas revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Revenue from alternative revenue programs is recognized in the period they are earned (i.e., during the period of revenue shortfall or excess due to fluctuations in customer usage or when specific targets are met resulting in the achievement of performance incentives or penalties) and a regulatory asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets is established, which is subsequently billed or refunded to customers. Duke Energy recognizes revenue as alternative revenue programs for programs that have been authorized for rate recovery, are objectively determinable and probable of recovery, and are expected to be collected within 24 months. See Note 19 for disaggregated revenue information including revenue from contracts with customers and revenues recognized as alternative revenue programs.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Derivatives and Hedging</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Derivative and non-derivative instruments may be used in connection with commodity price and interest rate activities, including swaps, futures, forwards and options. All derivative instruments, except those that qualify for the NPNS exception, are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Qualifying derivative instruments may be designated as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges. Other derivative instruments (undesignated contracts) either have not been designated or do not qualify as hedges. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of cash flow hedges is recorded in AOCI. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of a fair value hedge is offset in net income by changes in the hedged item. For activity subject to regulatory accounting, gains and losses on derivative contracts are reflected as regulatory assets or liabilities and not as other comprehensive income or current period income. As a result, changes in fair value of these derivatives have no immediate earnings impact.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Formal documentation, including transaction type and risk management strategy, is maintained for all contracts accounted for as a hedge. At inception and at least every three months thereafter, the hedge contract is assessed to see if it is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows or fair values of hedged items.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">See Note 15 for further information.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Captive Insurance Reserves</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Duke Energy has captive insurance subsidiaries that provide coverage, on an indemnity basis, to the Subsidiary Registrants as well as certain third parties, on a limited basis, for financial losses, primarily related to property, workers&#8217; compensation and general liability. Liabilities include provisions for estimated losses incurred but not reported (IBNR), as well as estimated provisions for known claims. IBNR reserve estimates are primarily based upon historical loss experience, industry data and other actuarial assumptions. Reserve estimates are adjusted in future periods as actual losses differ from experience.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Duke Energy, through its captive insurance entities, also has reinsurance coverage with third parties for certain losses above a per occurrence and/or aggregate retention. Receivables for reinsurance coverage are recognized when realization is deemed probable.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Preferred Stock</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Preferred stock is reviewed to determine the appropriate balance sheet classification and embedded features, such as call options, are evaluated to determine if they should be bifurcated and accounted for separately. Costs directly related to the issuance of preferred stock are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds received. The liability for the dividend is recognized when declared. The accumulated dividends on the cumulative preferred stock is recognized to net income available to Duke Energy Corporation in the EPS calculation. See Note 20 for further information.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt;margin-top:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Loss Contingencies and Environmental Liabilities</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Contingent losses are recorded when it is probable a loss has occurred and the loss can be reasonably estimated. When a range of the probable loss exists and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount in the range is recorded. Unless otherwise required by GAAP, legal fees are expensed as incurred.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Environmental liabilities are recorded on an undiscounted basis when environmental remediation or other liabilities become probable and can be reasonably estimated. Environmental expenditures related to past operations that do not generate current or future revenues are expensed. Environmental expenditures related to operations that generate current or future revenues are expensed or capitalized, as appropriate. Certain environmental expenditures receive regulatory accounting treatment and are recorded as regulatory assets.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">See Notes 4 and 5 for further information.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Severance and Special Termination Benefits</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Duke Energy maintains severance plans for the general employee population under which, in general, the longer a terminated employee worked prior to termination the greater the amount of severance benefits provided. A liability for involuntary severance is recorded once an involuntary severance plan is committed to by management if involuntary severances are probable and can be reasonably estimated. For involuntary severance benefits incremental to its ongoing severance plan benefits, the fair value of the obligation is expensed at the communication date if there are no future service requirements or over the required future service period. Duke Energy also offers special termination benefits under voluntary severance programs. Special termination benefits are recorded immediately upon employee acceptance absent a significant retention period. Otherwise, the cost is recorded over the remaining service period. Employee acceptance of voluntary severance benefits is determined by management based on the facts and circumstances of the benefits being offered. See Note 21 for further information.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Guarantees</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">If necessary, liabilities are recognized at the time of issuance or material modification of a guarantee for the estimated fair value of the obligation it assumes. Fair value is estimated using a probability weighted approach. The obligation is reduced over the term of the guarantee or related contract in a systematic and rational method as risk is reduced. Duke Energy recognizes a liability for the best estimate of its loss due to the nonperformance of the guaranteed party. This liability is recognized at the inception of a guarantee and is updated periodically. See Note 8 for further information.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Income Taxes</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Duke Energy and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return and other state and foreign jurisdictional returns. The Subsidiary Registrants are parties to a tax-sharing agreement with Duke Energy. Income taxes recorded represent amounts the Subsidiary Registrants would incur as separate C-Corporations. Deferred income taxes have been provided for temporary differences between GAAP and tax bases of assets and liabilities because the differences create taxable or tax-deductible amounts for future periods. ITCs associated with regulated operations are deferred and amortized as a reduction of income tax expense over the estimated useful lives of the related properties. PTCs associated with regulated operations reduce income tax expense or are deferred and amortized as a reduction of income tax expense over a period of time that is agreed upon by the regulatory authorities and the Subsidiary Registrants.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Accumulated deferred income taxes are valued using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax asset or liability is expected to be settled or realized.&#160;In the event of a change in tax rates, deferred tax assets and liabilities are remeasured as of the enactment date of the new rate.&#160;To the extent that the change in the value of the deferred tax represents an obligation to customers, the impact of the remeasurement is deferred to a regulatory liability.&#160;Remaining impacts are recorded in income from continuing operations. Duke Energy's results of operations could be impacted if the estimate of the tax effect of reversing temporary differences is not reflective of actual outcomes, is modified to reflect new developments or interpretations of the tax law, revised to incorporate new accounting principles, or changes in the expected timing or manner of a reversal.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Tax-related interest and penalties are recorded in Interest Expense and Other income and expenses, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">See Note 24 for further information.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Excise Taxes</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Certain excise taxes levied by state or local governments are required to be paid even if not collected from the customer. These taxes are recognized on a gross basis. Taxes for which Duke Energy operates merely as a collection agent for the state and local government are accounted for on a net basis. Excise taxes accounted for on a gross basis within both Operating Revenues and Property and other taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Operations were as follows.</span></div><div

However, if Duke Energy were to defer dividend payments on the preferred stock, the declaration of common stock dividends would be prohibited. See Note 20 for more information. Additionally, as further described in Note 4, Duke Energy Carolinas, Duke Energy Progress, Duke Energy Ohio, Duke Energy Indiana and Piedmont have restrictions on paying dividends or otherwise advancing funds to Duke Energy due to conditions established by regulators in conjunction with merger transaction approvals. At December&#160;31, 2025, and 2024, an insignificant amount of Duke Energy&#8217;s consolidated Retained earnings balance represents undistributed earnings of equity method investments.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt;margin-top:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">New Accounting Standards</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Other than implementation of the enhanced income tax disclosure requirements as described in Note 24, no new accounting standards were adopted by any of the Duke Energy Registrants in 2025.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The following new accounting standard has been issued but not yet adopted by the Duke Energy Registrants as of December&#160;31, 2025.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> In November 2024, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that requires disclosure of disaggregated information for certain cost and expense categories. This new guidance does not change the expense captions presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations but requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the notes to the financial statements. For Duke Energy Registrants, the amendments will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Duke Energy is currently assessing implementation of this guidance on the financial statement disclosures and expects it will have no impact on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.</span></div><span></span>

At the first closing, Florida Progress will issue to Investor 9.2% of the Florida Progress membership interests for $2.8&#160;billion (subject to adjustment). The first closing will be followed by additional closings with investments occurring no later than on the following timeline: (i) Investor will invest an additional $200&#160;million in Florida Progress no later than December 31, 2026; (ii) Investor will invest an additional $500&#160;million in Florida Progress no later than June 30, 2027; (iii) Investor will invest an additional $1.5&#160;billion in Florida Progress no later than December 31, 2027; and (iv) Investor will invest an additional $1&#160;billion in Florida Progress no later than June 30, 2028. Investor's ownership interest in Florida Progress will proportionally increase with each such investment that is made by Investor. Following the first closing, Investor has the option to fund the subsequent investments, and acquire the corresponding additional membership interests, earlier than the timeline described above. The transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions described in the investment agreement, including receipt of the approval of the FERC and completion of review by the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States (CFIUS), as well as approval, or determination that the transaction does not require approval, by the NRC. Approval for the transaction was received from FERC and CFIUS in December 2025 and January 2026, respectively. On February 17, 2026, the NRC issued a written threshold determination that the transactions do not constitute a direct or indirect transfer of control of any license issued by the NRC, which constitutes the final condition required to be met prior to the first closing. The investment agreement also provides that, upon termination of the investment agreement under certain specified circumstances prior to the first closing, Investor would be required to pay Progress Energy a termination fee of $240&#160;million.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Proceeds from the minority interest investment are expected to be used to efficiently fund Duke Energy&#8217;s growing capital and investment expenditures plan, primarily by displacing certain previously planned issuances of long-term debt and common equity.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The investment agreement limits Florida Progress&#8217; ability to declare dividends before the first closing.

Piedmont&#8217;s Tennessee business is included within the GU&amp;I segment of Duke Energy and Piedmont. Completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval from the TPUC. An evidentiary hearing was held on February 17, 2026, and a decision from the TPUC is anticipated on March 16, 2026. Subject to TPUC approval, Piedmont expects to complete the sale on March 31, 2026. The purchase agreement contains certain termination rights and provides that Spire Inc. may be required to pay a termination fee for an amount equal to 6.5% of the purchase price to Piedmont upon termination of the purchase agreement under certain circumstances. Proceeds from the sale are expected to be used for debt reduction at Piedmont and to efficiently fund Duke Energy's capital plan, primarily by displacing the issuance of common equity in the near term.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In the third quarter of 2025, Duke Energy and Piedmont reclassified the Piedmont Tennessee Disposal Group to assets held for sale.

The Duke Energy Registrants' CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM evaluates segment performance based on segment income for each of the Duke Energy Registrants' reportable business segments in deciding how to allocate resources and evaluate the performance of the business. Segment income is defined as income from continuing operations net of income attributable to NCI and preferred stock dividends. Segment income, as discussed below, includes intercompany revenues and expenses that are eliminated on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain governance costs are allocated to each segment. In addition, direct interest expense and income taxes are included in segment income.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Products and services are sold between affiliate companies and reportable segments of Duke Energy at cost.

The 10 new solar generation facilities were completed and all of the remaining sites were in service by the end of 2024 at a cost of approximately $1.1 billion. These investments are included in base rates, offset by the revenue from the subscription fees, with credits included in the fuel cost recovery clause.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In February 2021, the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) filed a notice of appeal of the FPSC&#8217;s order approving the Clean Energy Connection to the Supreme Court of Florida. On May 27, 2022, the Supreme Court of Florida issued an order remanding the case back to the FPSC so that the FPSC can amend its order to better address some of the arguments raised by LULAC. In September 2022, the FPSC issued a revised order and submitted it to the Supreme Court of Florida. On July 17, 2025, the Supreme Court of Florida issued an order affirming the revised FPSC order. The ruling did not change the solar program or have other financial implications. This matter is now fully resolved.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Storm Protection Plan</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">At least every three years, Duke Energy Florida must file an SPP with the FPSC.

In January 2025, Duke Energy Florida filed an SPP for approval with the FPSC for the 2026-2035 time frame reflecting approximately $7&#160;billion of capital investment in transmission and distribution. On May 16, 2025, Duke Energy Florida and the OPC filed joint stipulations to resolve all matters, and the FPSC issued an order on June 19, 2025, approving those stipulations.

Duke Energy Florida proposed a three-year rate plan that would begin in January 2025, once its current base rate settlement agreement concludes at the end of 2024. Duke Energy Florida proposed multiyear rate increases that use the projected 12-month periods ending December 31, 2025, 2026, and 2027 as the test years, with adjusted rates to be effective with the first billing period of January 2025, 2026, and 2027, respectively.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In July 2024, Duke Energy Florida filed a settlement agreement with the FPSC. The parties to the settlement include Duke Energy Florida, the Office of Public Counsel and other intervening parties. Pursuant to the settlement, the parties agreed to a base rate stay-out provision that expires year-end 2027; however, Duke Energy Florida is allowed an increase to its base rates in 2025 and 2026, as well as utilization of certain tax benefits in lieu of a revenue increase in 2027. Additionally, revenue increases related to solar investments will be recovered via the Solar Base Rate Adjustment mechanism. The parties also agreed to an ROE band of 9.3% to 11.3% with a midpoint of 10.3% and an equity ratio of 53%. The agreement provides for $203&#160;million and $59&#160;million in base rate increases in 2025 and 2026, respectively, as well as increases associated with investments in 12 new solar facilities as they come on line. In August 2024, the FPSC approved the settlement agreement without modification and a final order was issued on November 12, 2024.

The storm reserve amount was approximately $63&#160;million as of July 31, 2024, prior to the damage resulting from hurricanes Debby, Helene and Milton.

Approximately $75&#160;million of capital related to these storms will be sought for recovery in future base rate case filings. On January 5, 2026, Duke Energy Florida filed a notice with the FPSC to stop recovery of the storm cost charge because the costs were fully recovered and the storm reserve was fully replenished

Duke Energy Ohio also sought to adjust the caps on its CEP Rider. In April 2023, Duke Energy Ohio filed a stipulation with all parties to the case except the Ohio Consumers' Counsel (OCC). In the stipulation, the parties agreed to approximately $32&#160;million in revenue increases with an equity ratio of 52.32% and an ROE of 9.6%, and adjustments to the CEP Rider caps. The stipulation was opposed by the OCC at an evidentiary hearing that concluded in May 2023.</span><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> On November 1, 2023, PUCO issued an order approving the stipulation as filed and new rates went into effect November 1, 2023. In December 2023, the OCC filed an application for rehearing and the PUCO granted OCC's application for rehearing for further consideration of issues raised. As a result of a Supreme Court of Ohio decision regarding procedural issues related to applications for rehearing, PUCO denied OCC&#8217;s rehearing request. In October 2024, the OCC filed its Notice of Appeal with the Supreme Court of Ohio. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The case is fully briefed and oral argument occurred October 7, 2025.

The ESP application proposed a three-year term from June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2028, and included continuation of market-based rates for generation supply through competitive procurement processes and continuation and expansion of existing rider mechanisms. Duke Energy Ohio proposed a new rider mechanism relating to electric distribution infrastructure modernization programs, which may be enabled by and partially funded through federal or state funding opportunities, as well as future battery storage projects, and two electric vehicle programs. Additional proposals included new rider mechanisms related to solar for all investments for low-income and disadvantaged communities, low-income senior citizen bill assistance, and EE and demand-side management programs. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In November 2024, Duke Energy Ohio filed a stipulation that the majority of the intervenors signed as either signatory or non-opposing parties. The stipulation includes the continuation of market-based rates for generation supply through competitive procurement auctions and the continuation of all existing riders. It further establishes new caps for certain riders. Duke Energy Ohio also agreed to withdraw its proposals for an infrastructure modernization rider, battery storage projects and electric vehicle programs. The stipulation included a residential EE program with provisions for low-income customers. On May 14, 2025, PUCO issued its order, approving the stipulation without modification.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">On May 15, 2025, the governor of Ohio signed Ohio Substitute House Bill 15 (HB15) into law with an effective date of August 14, 2025. HB15 requires electric distribution utilities to file a base rate case every three years, commencing no later than December 31, 2029, and established an opportunity to apply for approval of a three-year rate plan with forward-looking test periods to mitigate regulatory lag. HB15 eliminates ESPs and certain distribution-related riders, but allows ESPs approved as of its effective date to remain in place through the end of their authorized term. HB15 also eliminated Duke Energy Ohio's Legacy Generation Rider upon the effective date of HB15 and prevents the PUCO from future reauthorization of similar arrangements. As a result of HB15, future losses related to Duke Energy Ohio's Inter-Company Power Agreement with OVEC will not be recoverable from retail customers.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Duke Energy Ohio RTO Adder</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">On February 24, 2022, the OCC filed a complaint asserting that FERC should reduce the ROE utilized in transmission formulas for Duke Energy Ohio and certain transmission providers by eliminating the 50 basis point adder associated with RTO membership. The OCC contends this is required because Ohio law mandates that transmission owning utilities join an RTO and that the 50 basis point adder is only applicable where RTO membership is voluntary. On December 15, 2022, FERC denied the complaint as it related to Duke Energy Ohio, but granted it for certain other transmission providers. As a result of appeal by certain other transmission providers, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (Sixth Circuit) on January 17, 2025, reversed the prior decision from FERC. In the decision, the Sixth Circuit ruled the 50 basis point adder is available only where RTO membership is voluntary. The decision noted that Ohio law requires Ohio's transmission utilities to be a member of an RTO and therefore it is unlawful for FERC to remove the adder from certain transmission providers but not also remove the adder from Duke Energy Ohio. As a result, the issue was remanded back to FERC to revise their prior decision. As a result of the ruling, Duke Energy Ohio recognized a pretax charge during 2025, the results of which were not material. On March 26, 2025, the Sixth Circuit denied requests for rehearing. On April 16, 2025, the Sixth Circuit agreed to stay the mandate pending further appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. On July 17, 2025, Duke Energy Ohio filed a respondent brief at the U.S. Supreme Court requesting review of the Sixth Circuit's decision. On November 10, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the appeal, and on November 13, 2025, the Sixth Circuit remanded the case back to FERC. An order from the FERC is expected in the first quarter of 2026.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Duke Energy Kentucky 2022 Electric Base Rate Case</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In December 2022, Duke Energy Kentucky filed a base rate case with the KPSC driven by capital investments to strengthen the electricity generation and delivery systems along with adjusted depreciation rates for the East Bend and Woodsdale CT generation stations. Duke Energy Kentucky also requested approval for new programs and tariff updates, including a voluntary community-based renewable subscription program and two electric vehicle charging programs. The KPSC issued an order on October 12, 2023, including a $48&#160;million increase in base revenues, an ROE of 9.75% for electric base rates and 9.65% for electric riders and an equity ratio of 52.145%. New rates went into effect October 13, 2023. Duke Energy Kentucky's request to adjust the depreciation rates of East Bend was denied and the KPSC ordered depreciation rates with a 2041 retirement date for the unit. The KPSC approved the request to align depreciation rates of Woodsdale CT with a 2040 retirement date and denied the voluntary community-based renewable subscription program and electric vehicle charging programs. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Revised rates were implemented in August 2024 after a rehearing request.

On October 2, 2025, the KPSC issued its decision approving a $44&#160;million revenue requirement increase, with an ROE of 9.8% and an equity ratio of 52.73%. The KPSC further directed Duke Energy Kentucky to issue refunds of amounts collected since July 3, 2025, that exceed what has been approved by the order within 60 days.

In April 2020, Duke Energy Indiana filed testimony in the coal ash subdocket requesting recovery for post-2018 coal ash basin closure costs associated with closure plans that were approved by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) at that time as well as continued deferral approval and carrying costs on the balance of such coal ash basin closure costs. On November 3, 2021, the IURC issued an order allowing recovery of the post-2018 coal ash basin closure costs, as well as continuing deferral, with carrying costs on the balance. The OUCC and the Duke Industrial Group appealed. The Indiana Court of Appeals issued its opinion on February 21, 2023, reversing the IURC's order to the extent that it allowed Duke Energy Indiana to recover federally mandated costs incurred prior to the IURC's November 3, 2021 order. In addition, the court found that any costs incurred pre-petition to determine federally mandated compliance options were not specifically authorized by the statute and should also be disallowed.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In 2023, Duke Energy Indiana filed its proposal to remove from rates certain costs incurred prior to the IURC's November 3, 2021 order date.

In June 2024, the Citizens Action Coalition of Indiana (CAC) filed a notice of appeal of the IURC's order. On August 26, 2025, the Indiana Court of Appeals reversed the decision by the IURC concluding that the IURC incorrectly allowed Duke Energy Indiana to collect those coal ash costs from customers. In October 2025, Duke Energy Indiana and the Indiana Office of Attorney General filed separate petitions requesting the Indiana Supreme Court to review the case. On January 26, 2026, the Indiana Supreme Court denied Duke Energy Indiana's and the Indiana Office of Attorney General's petitions.

In July 2022, the OUCC filed a notice of appeal to the Indiana Court of Appeals in Duke Energy Indiana&#8217;s TDSIC 2.0 proceeding.

On January 21, 2025, the Duke Industrial Group filed a motion for rehearing. On March 4, 2025, the Indiana Supreme Court denied the Duke Industrial Group's petition for rehearing.

The Duke Energy Registrants&#8217; coverage includes (i) commercial general liability coverage for liabilities arising to third parties for bodily injury and property damage; (ii) workers&#8217; compensation; (iii) automobile liability coverage; and (iv) property coverage for all real and personal property damage. Real and personal property damage coverage excludes electric transmission and distribution lines, but includes damages arising from boiler and machinery breakdowns, earthquakes, flood damage and extra expense, but not outage or replacement power coverage. All coverage is subject to certain deductibles or retentions, sublimits, exclusions, terms and conditions common for companies with similar types of operations. The Duke Energy Registrants self-insure their electric transmission and distribution lines against loss due to storm damage and other natural disasters. As discussed further in Note 4, Duke Energy Florida maintains a storm damage reserve and has a regulatory mechanism to recover the cost of named storms on an expedited basis. Additionally, Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress maintain storm damage reserves and may leverage securitization to recover storm costs on an expedited basis, as appropriate.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The cost of the Duke Energy Registrants&#8217; coverage can fluctuate from year to year reflecting claims history and conditions of the insurance and reinsurance markets. In the event of a loss, terms and amounts of insurance and reinsurance available might not be adequate to cover claims and other expenses incurred. Uninsured losses and other expenses, to the extent not recovered by other sources, could have a material effect on the Duke Energy Registrants&#8217; results of operations, cash flows or financial position. Each company is responsible to the extent losses may be excluded or exceed limits of the coverage available.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Nuclear Insurance</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Duke Energy Carolinas owns and operates McGuire and Oconee and operates and has a partial ownership interest in Catawba.

The maximum total financial protection liability, which is approximately $16.3 billion, is subject to change every five years for inflation and for the number of licensed reactors. Total nuclear liability coverage consists of a combination of private primary nuclear liability insurance coverage and a mandatory industry risk-sharing program to provide for excess nuclear liability coverage above the maximum reasonably available private primary coverage. The U.S. Congress could impose revenue-raising measures on the nuclear industry to pay claims.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Primary Liability Insurance</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress have purchased the maximum reasonably available private primary nuclear liability insurance as required by law, which is $500 million per station.

This amount is the product of potential cumulative retrospective premium assessments of $166 million times the current 95 licensed commercial nuclear reactors in the U.S. Under this program, operating unit licensees could be assessed retrospective premiums to compensate for public nuclear liability damages in the event of a nuclear incident at any licensed facility in the U.S. Retrospective premiums may be assessed at a rate not to exceed $24.7 million per year per licensed reactor for each incident. The assessment may be subject to state premium taxes.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Nuclear Property and Accidental Outage Coverage</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Duke Energy Carolinas, Duke Energy Progress and Duke Energy Florida are members of NEIL, an industry mutual insurance company, which provides property damage, nuclear accident decontamination and premature decommissioning insurance for each station for losses resulting from damage to its nuclear plants, either due to accidents or acts of terrorism. Additionally, NEIL provides accidental outage coverage for losses in the event of a major accidental outage at an insured nuclear station.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Pursuant to regulations of the NRC, each company&#8217;s property damage insurance policies provide that all proceeds from such insurance be applied, first, to place the plant in a safe and stable condition after a qualifying accident and second, to decontaminate the plant before any proceeds can be used for decommissioning, plant repair or restoration.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Losses resulting from acts of terrorism are covered as common occurrences, such that if terrorist acts occur against one or more commercial nuclear power plants insured by NEIL within a 12-month period, they would be treated as one event and the owners of the plants where the act occurred would share one full limit of liability. The full limit of liability is currently $3.2 billion. NEIL sublimits the total aggregate for all of their policies for non-nuclear terrorist events to approximately $1.8 billion.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Each nuclear facility has accident property damage, nuclear accident decontamination and premature decommissioning liability insurance from NEIL with limits of $1.5 billion, except for Crystal River Unit 3. Crystal River Unit 3&#8217;s limit is $50 million and is on an actual cash value basis. All nuclear facilities except for Catawba and Crystal River Unit 3 also share an additional $1.25 billion nuclear accident insurance limit above their dedicated underlying limit. This shared additional excess limit is not subject to reinstatement in the event of a loss. Catawba has a dedicated $1.25 billion of additional nuclear accident insurance limit above its dedicated underlying limit. Catawba and Oconee also have an additional $750 million of non-nuclear accident property damage limit.

Coverage is provided on a weekly limit basis after a significant waiting period deductible and at 100% of the applicable weekly limits for 52 weeks and 80% of the remaining applicable weekly limits for nuclear accidents and 60% of the remaining appliable weekly limits for non-nuclear accident property damage. Coverage will not exceed the accidental outage policy limit of $490 million for each nuclear plant. NEIL sublimits the accidental outage recovery up to the first 104 weeks of coverage not to exceed $291 million from non-nuclear accidental property damage. Coverage amounts decrease in the event more than one unit at a station is out of service due to a common accident.

NEIL has never exercised this assessment. The maximum aggregate current year policies' annual retrospective premium obligations for Duke Energy Carolinas, Duke Energy Progress and Duke Energy Florida are $170 million, $102 million and $1 million, respectively. Duke Energy Carolinas' maximum assessment amount includes 100% of potential obligations to NEIL for jointly owned reactors.

These include certain properties that are part of ongoing operations and sites formerly owned or used by Duke Energy entities. These sites are in various stages of investigation, remediation and monitoring. Managed in conjunction with relevant federal, state and local agencies, remediation activities vary based upon site conditions and location, remediation requirements, complexity and sharing of responsibility. If remediation activities involve joint and several liability provisions, strict liability, or cost recovery or contribution actions, the Duke Energy Registrants could potentially be held responsible for environmental impacts caused by other potentially responsible parties and may also benefit from insurance policies or contractual indemnities that cover some or all cleanup costs. Liabilities are recorded when losses become probable and are reasonably estimable. The total costs that may be incurred cannot be estimated because the extent of environmental impact, allocation among potentially responsible parties, remediation alternatives and/or regulatory decisions have not yet been determined at all sites. Additional costs associated with remediation activities are likely to be incurred in the future and could be significant. Costs are typically expensed as Operation, maintenance and other in the Consolidated Statements of Operations unless regulatory recovery of the costs is deemed probable.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The following table contains information regarding reserves for probable and estimable costs related to the various environmental sites.

County, North Carolina, against Duke Energy (Parent), Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress (collectively &#8220;Duke Energy&#8221;) on behalf of a putative class alleging past and ongoing environmental contamination in the Mooresville area of North Carolina. The lawsuit alleges that Duke Energy disposed of and sold coal ash as structural fill resulting in the contamination of soil, groundwater and Lake Norman. The plaintiffs claim that Duke Energy failed to properly remediate the contamination and continues to pollute, and they assert that the contamination has negatively impacted property values. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, injunctive relief to stop further contamination, remediation of contaminated areas and attorneys' fees and costs. On July 28, 2025, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which asserts claims for negligence, negligence per se, gross negligence, private nuisance, strict liability for ultra-hazardous activities and trespass. On September 11, 2025, Duke Energy filed its answer to the plaintiff's amended complaint and a motion for judgment on the pleadings. Following a hearing on December 29, 2025, the court entered an interim order dismissing the plaintiffs&#8217; strict liability claim. On February 4, 2026, the court entered an order denying the remainder of Duke Energy&#8217;s motion for judgment on the pleadings. A scheduling order has not yet been issued.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Nuclear Compensation Class Action Litigation</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">On July 11, 2025, plaintiffs Leo Dorrell and John Dunn filed a putative class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland against all U.S. commercial nuclear power operators, including Duke Energy Corporation (Parent) and Progress Energy.

In September 2019, Duke Energy Carolinas filed a lawsuit in Mecklenburg County Superior Court against NTE for breach of contract, alleging that NTE's failure to pay benchmark payments for Duke Energy Carolinas' transmission system upgrades required under the interconnection agreement constituted a termination of the interconnection agreement. Duke Energy Carolinas sought a monetary judgment against NTE because NTE failed to make multiple milestone payments. The lawsuit was moved to federal court in North Carolina. NTE filed a motion to dismiss Duke Energy Carolinas&#8217; complaint and brought counterclaims alleging anti-competitive conduct and violations of state and federal statutes. Duke Energy Carolinas filed a motion to dismiss NTE's counterclaims. Both NTE's and Duke Energy Carolinas' motions to dismiss were subsequently denied by the court.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">On May 21, 2020, in response to a NTE petition challenging Duke Energy Carolinas' termination of the LGIA, FERC issued a ruling that 1) it has exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether a transmission provider may terminate an LGIA; 2) FERC approval is required to terminate a conforming LGIA if objected to by the interconnection customer; and 3) Duke Energy may not announce the termination of a conforming LGIA unless FERC has approved the termination. FERC's Office of Enforcement also initiated an investigation of Duke Energy Carolinas into matters pertaining to the LGIA. In April 2023, Duke Energy Carolinas received notice from the FERC Office of Enforcement that they have closed their non-public investigation with no further action recommended.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Following completion of discovery, Duke Energy Carolinas filed a motion for summary judgment seeking a ruling in its favor as to some of its affirmative claims against NTE and to all of NTE&#8217;s counterclaims. On June 24, 2022, the court issued an order partially granting Duke Energy Carolinas' motion by dismissing NTE's counterclaims that Duke Energy Carolinas engaged in anti-competitive behavior in violation of state and federal statutes. In October 2022, the parties executed a settlement agreement with respect to the remaining breach of contract claims in the litigation and a Stipulation of Dismissal was filed with the court. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In November 2022, NTE filed its Notice of Appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit as to the district court's summary judgment ruling in Duke Energy Carolinas' favor on NTE's antitrust and unfair competition claims. On August 5, 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reversed the district court's grant of summary judgment and remanded the case back to the district court for further proceedings. In August 2024, Duke Energy Carolinas filed a petition for rehearing, which was denied on November 26, 2024. On February 21, 2025, Duke Energy Carolinas filed a petition seeking review by the U.S. Supreme Court. On January 12, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the petition seeking review.

Additionally, Duke Energy Carolinas, Duke Energy Progress and Duke Energy Indiana have finance leases related to firm natural gas pipeline transportation capacity. Duke Energy Progress and Duke Energy Florida have entered into certain purchase power agreements, which are classified as finance and operating leases. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Duke Energy has certain lease agreements, which include variable lease payments that are based on the usage of an asset. These variable lease payments </span><span style="color:#211d1e;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">are not included in the measurement of the ROU assets or operating lease liabilities on the Consolidated Financial Statements.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Certain Duke Energy lease agreements include options for renewal and early termination. The intent to renew a lease varies depending on the lease type and asset. Renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised are included in the lease measurements. The decision to terminate a lease early is dependent on various economic factors. No termination options have been included in any of the lease measurements.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In December 2019, Duke Energy Carolinas entered into a sale-leaseback arrangement to construct and occupy an office tower. The lease agreement was evaluated as a sale-leaseback of real estate but did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting. As a result, the transaction is accounted for as a financing. Duke Energy Carolinas recorded the real estate on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within Property, Plant and Equipment as if it is the legal owner and recognizes depreciation expense over the estimated useful life. In addition, the failed sale-leaseback obligation is reported within Long-Term Debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with the monthly lease payments split between interest expense and debt principal.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Piedmont has certain agreements for the construction and transportation of natural gas pipelines to supply Duke Energy Carolinas' natural gas plant needs. Piedmont accounts for these pipeline lateral contracts as sales-type leases since the present value of the sum of the lease payments equals the fair value of the assets. These pipeline lateral assets owned by Piedmont had a current net investment basis of $3&#160;million and $2 million as of December&#160;31, 2025, and 2024, and a long-term net investment basis of $194&#160;million and $197&#160;million as of December&#160;31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. These assets are classified in Other, within Current Assets and Other Noncurrent Assets, respectively, on Piedmont's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Duke Energy Carolinas accounts for the contracts as finance leases. The activity for these contracts is eliminated in consolidation at Duke Energy.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span
