Duke Energy reports third quarter 2017 financial results
Third quarter 2017 GAAP reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $1.36 compared to $1.70 in 2016; adjusted diluted EPS was $1.59 for the third quarter of 2017 compared to $1.68 for the third quarter of 2016
Company restores power in just over a week to nearly 1.5 million customers impacted by Hurricane Irma
Constructive regulatory settlement approved in Duke Energy Florida paving the way for grid modernization and significant investments in solar energy
Company narrows its 2017 adjusted diluted earnings guidance range to $4.50 to $4.60 per share, and reaffirms long-term earnings growth expectation of 4 to 6 percent off original 2017 midpoint of $4.60
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Duke Energy today announced third quarter 2017 reported diluted EPS, prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) of $1.36, compared to $1.70 for the third quarter of 2016. Duke Energy's third quarter 2017 adjusted diluted EPS was $1.59, compared to $1.68 for the third quarter of 2016.
Adjusted diluted EPS excludes the impact of certain items included in GAAP reported diluted EPS. Amounts excluded from adjusted diluted EPS in the third quarter 2017 are an impairment charge related to the canceled Levy nuclear project based on a Florida settlement agreement, Commercial Renewables impairments and costs to achieve the Piedmont Natural Gas merger.
Adjusted diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2017 was lower than the prior year, primarily due to less favorable weather and the absence of earnings from International Energy. Partially offsetting these drivers were lower income tax expense, higher retail revenues from increased pricing and riders and ongoing cost management efforts.
Based upon the results through the third quarter, the company is narrowing its 2017 adjusted diluted earnings guidance range to $4.50 to $4.60 per share.
“The hallmark of this quarter was resilience. In the face of unfavorable weather and the destructive force of Hurricane Irma, we continued to deliver on our financial commitments for the year through focused cost control,” said Lynn Good, Duke Energy chairman, president and CEO. “Hurricane Irma was a devastating storm, but our employees responded admirably, restoring power in just over a week to more than 1.5 million Florida and Carolinas customers.

“The third quarter was also marked by strong execution of our strategic initiatives. Building upon our constructive relationships with our stakeholders, the approved settlement agreement in Florida allows the company to advance our investments in grid modernization and cleaner generation. We also received the FERC certificate for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, an important milestone for the project, and we look forward to beginning construction later this year.”
Business segment results
In addition to the following summary of third quarter 2017 business segment performance, comprehensive tables with detailed earnings per share drivers for the quarter and the year-to-date, compared to prior year, are provided on pages 19 and 20.
The discussion below of the third quarter results includes both GAAP segment income and adjusted segment income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The tables on pages 9 through 12 present a reconciliation of GAAP reported results to adjusted results.
Due to the Piedmont acquisition and the sale of International Energy in the fourth quarter of 2016, Duke Energy's segment structure has been realigned to include the following segments: Electric Utilities and Infrastructure, Gas Utilities and Infrastructure and Commercial Renewables. The remainder of Duke Energy’s operations is presented as Other. Other now includes the results of National Methanol Company (NMC), previously included in the International Energy segment. Prior periods have been recast to conform to the current segment structure.
Electric Utilities and Infrastructure
On a reported basis, Electric Utilities and Infrastructure recognized third quarter 2017 segment income of $1,020 million, compared to segment income of $1,189 million in the third quarter of 2016. In addition to the drivers outlined below, third quarter 2017 quarterly results were impacted by an $84 million after-tax impairment charge related to the Florida settlement agreement. This charge was treated as a special item and therefore excluded from adjusted earnings.
On an adjusted basis, Electric Utilities and Infrastructure recognized third quarter 2017 adjusted segment income of $1,104 million, compared to adjusted segment income of $1,189 million in the third quarter of 2016, a decrease of $0.12 per share, excluding share dilution of $0.02 per share.
Lower quarterly results at Electric Utilities and Infrastructure were primarily driven by less favorable weather ($-0.14 per share), including the lost revenue associated with Hurricane Irma, and higher depreciation and amortization expense (-$0.02 per share). These unfavorable drivers were partially offset by increased pricing and riders (+$0.04 per share) and lower operations and maintenance expense (+$0.01 per share), which includes storm costs associated with Hurricane Irma (-$0.03 per share).

Gas Utilities and Infrastructure
On a reported and adjusted basis, Gas Utilities and Infrastructure recognized third quarter segment income of $19 million, compared to $15 million in the third quarter of 2016, an increase of $0.01 per share.
Higher quarterly results at Gas Utilities and Infrastructure were driven by higher earnings from investments in the Atlantic Coast Pipeline (+$0.01 per share).
Commercial Renewables
On a reported basis, Commercial Renewables recognized a third quarter 2017 segment loss of $49 million, compared to a segment loss of $24 million in the third quarter of 2016. In addition to the drivers outlined below, quarterly results were impacted by impairment charges associated with certain renewables investments. These charges were treated as special items and therefore excluded from adjusted earnings.
On an adjusted basis, Commercial Renewables recognized third quarter 2017 segment income of $7 million, compared to $21 million in the third quarter of 2016, a decrease of $0.02 per share primarily due to lower investment tax credits (ITCs) within the solar portfolio (-$0.01 per share) and higher interest expense (-$0.01 per share).
Other
Other primarily includes corporate interest expense not allocated to the business units, results from Duke Energy’s captive insurance company, and other investments including NMC, an equity method investment.
On a reported basis, Other recognized third quarter 2017 net expense of $34 million, compared to net expense of $181 million in the third quarter of 2016. In addition to the drivers outlined below, quarterly results were impacted by costs to achieve mergers. These charges are treated as a special item and, therefore, excluded from adjusted earnings.
On an adjusted basis, Other recognized third quarter 2017 adjusted net expense of $20 million, compared to adjusted net expense of $117 million in the third quarter of 2016, an increase of $0.14 per share. Higher quarterly results at Other were driven by lower income tax expense primarily due to unfavorable tax adjustments in the prior year (+$0.07 per share), favorable tax planning (+$0.03 per share), a favorable litigation settlement (+$0.02 per share), and lower claims at the captive insurer (+$0.01 per share). These positive drivers were partially offset by higher interest expense at the holding company, primarily resulting from the Piedmont Natural Gas acquisition financing (‑$0.04 per share).
Duke Energy's consolidated reported effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2017 was 27.6 percent, compared to 34.0 percent in the third quarter of 2016. The consolidated adjusted effective tax rate for third quarter 2017 was 28.9 percent, compared to 33.5 percent in 2016. Adjusted effective tax rate is a non-GAAP financial measure. The tables on page 13 present a reconciliation of the GAAP reported effective tax rate to the adjusted effective tax rate.

Discontinued Operations
Duke Energy's third quarter 2016 Income from Discontinued Operations included the operating results of the International Disposal Group of $55 million which were included in adjusted earnings, as well as a tax benefit related to previously sold businesses not related to the International Disposal Group.

Non-GAAP financial measures
Management evaluates financial performance in part based on non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted EPS.
Adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted EPS represent income from continuing operations attributable to Duke Energy, adjusted for the dollar and per share impact of special items. As discussed below, special items represent certain charges and credits which management believes are not indicative of Duke Energy's ongoing performance. Management believes the presentation of adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted EPS provides useful information to investors, as it provides them with an additional relevant comparison of Duke Energy’s performance across periods. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning and forecasting and for reporting financial results to the Duke Energy Board of Directors, employees, stockholders, analysts and investors. Adjusted diluted EPS is also used as a basis for employee incentive bonuses. The most directly comparable GAAP measures for adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted EPS are Net Income Attributable to Duke Energy Corporation (GAAP Reported Earnings) and Diluted EPS Attributable to Duke Energy Corporation common stockholders (GAAP Reported EPS), respectively.
Special items included in the periods presented include the following items which management believes do not reflect ongoing costs:
Costs to Achieve Mergers represent charges that result from strategic acquisitions.
Cost Savings Initiatives represent severance charges related to company-wide initiatives, excluding merger integration, to standardize processes and systems, leverage technology and workforce optimization.
Commercial Renewables Impairments represents other-than-temporary and asset impairments.
Florida Settlement represents an impairment charge related to the Levy nuclear project based on a settlement agreement approved by regulators.
Adjusted earnings also include operating results of the International Disposal Group, which have been classified as discontinued operations. Management believes inclusion of the operating results of the Disposal Group within adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted EPS results in a better reflection of Duke Energy's financial performance during the period.
Due to the forward-looking nature of any forecasted adjusted earnings guidance, information to reconcile this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available at this time, as management is unable to project all special items for future periods (such as legal settlements, the impact of regulatory orders, or asset impairments).
Management evaluates segment performance based on segment income and other net expense. Segment income is defined as income from continuing operations attributable to Duke Energy. Segment income includes intercompany revenues and expenses that are eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management also uses adjusted



Duke Energy News Release     6


segment income as a measure of historical and anticipated future segment performance. Adjusted segment income is a non-GAAP financial measure, as it is based upon segment income adjusted for special items, which are discussed above. Management believes the presentation of adjusted segment income provides useful information to investors, as it provides them with an additional relevant comparison of a segment’s performance across periods. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for adjusted segment income or adjusted other net expense is segment income and other net expense.
Due to the forward-looking nature of any forecasted adjusted segment income or adjusted other net expense and any related growth rates for future periods, information to reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is not available at this time, as the company is unable to forecast all special items, as discussed above.
Duke Energy’s adjusted earnings, adjusted diluted EPS, and adjusted segment income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because other companies may not calculate the measures in the same manner.

A - Net of $120 million tax benefit.

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