Duke Energy reports first-quarter 2025 financial results
▪First-quarter 2025 reported and adjusted EPS of $1.76
▪Strong start to the year, driven by revenue growth across Electric and Gas utilities
▪Company advancing new generation to serve growing energy demand
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK) today announced first-quarter 2025 reported EPS, prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and adjusted EPS of $1.76. This is compared to reported and adjusted EPS of $1.44 for the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted EPS excludes the impact of certain items that are included in reported EPS.
Higher first-quarter 2025 adjusted results were driven by higher retail sales volumes and implementation of new rates and riders as well as improved weather, partially offset by higher interest expense and O&M expenses.
G1The company is reaffirming its 2025 adjusted EPS guidance range of $6.17 to $6.42 and G2long-term adjusted EPS growth rate of 5% to 7% through 2029 off the 2025 midpoint of $6.30. Management does not forecast reported GAAP EPS and related long-term growth rates.
“I am incredibly proud of our performance in the first quarter, which is a result of the constructive regulatory outcomes the team has delivered over the last several years,” said Harry Sideris, Duke Energy president and chief executive officer. "The fundamentals of the company are stronger than ever, positioning us extraordinarily well to meet our customers' growing and evolving energy demands – now and into the future.”

Business segment results
In addition to the following summary of first-quarter 2025 business segment performance, comprehensive tables with detailed EPS drivers for the first quarter compared to prior year are provided at the end of this news release.
The discussion below of first-quarter results includes both GAAP segment income and adjusted segment income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. For the quarters ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, reported segment income and adjusted segment income were equal for each of Duke Energy's business segments and Other. The tables at the end of this news release present a full reconciliation of GAAP reported results to adjusted results.
Electric Utilities and Infrastructure
Electric Utilities and Infrastructure recognized first-quarter 2025 segment income of $1,276 million, compared to segment income of $1,021 million in the first quarter of 2024. This represents an increase of $0.33 per share. Higher quarterly results were primarily due to higher retail sales volumes, improved weather and implementation of new rates, partially offset by higher interest expense, O&M expense and depreciation on a growing asset base.
Gas Utilities and Infrastructure
Gas Utilities and Infrastructure recognized first-quarter 2025 segment income of $349 million, compared to segment income of $284 million in the first quarter of 2024. This represents an increase of $0.08 per share. Higher quarterly results were primarily due to growth from rate increases, partially offset by higher depreciation on a growing asset base.
Other
Other primarily includes interest expense on holding company debt, other unallocated corporate costs and results from Duke Energy’s captive insurance company.
Other recognized a first-quarter 2025 segment loss of $260 million, compared to segment loss of $203 million in the first quarter of 2024. This represents a decrease of $0.08 per share. Lower quarterly results were primarily due to higher interest expense and lower returns on investments.
Effective tax rate
Duke Energy's consolidated reported effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2025 was 12.1% compared to 13.4% in the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in the amortization of income tax credits.
Duke Energy's consolidated adjusted effective tax rate was 12.2% for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 13.7% in the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in the adjusted effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in the amortization of income tax credits and a decrease in preferred dividends.
The tables at the end of this news release present a reconciliation of the reported effective tax rate to the adjusted effective tax rate.

Non-GAAP financial measures
Management evaluates financial performance in part based on non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted earnings, adjusted EPS and adjusted effective tax rate. Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS represent income (loss) from continuing operations available to Duke Energy Corporation common stockholders in dollar and basic per share amounts, adjusted for the dollar and per share impact of special items. The adjusted effective tax rate is calculated using pretax earnings and income tax expense, both adjusted to include the impact of noncontrolling interests and preferred dividends and to exclude the impact of special items. Special items include certain charges and credits, which management believes are not indicative of Duke Energy's ongoing performance.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning and forecasting, and for reporting financial results to the Board of Directors, employees, stockholders, analysts and investors. The most directly comparable GAAP measures for adjusted earnings, adjusted EPS and the adjusted effective tax rate are Net Income (Loss) Available to Duke Energy Corporation common stockholders (GAAP reported earnings (loss)), Basic earnings (loss) per share Available to Duke Energy Corporation common stockholders (GAAP reported earnings (loss) per share), and the reported effective tax rate, respectively.
There were no special items included in the periods presented.
Duke Energy News Release 4
Due to the forward-looking nature of any forecasted adjusted earnings guidance, information to reconcile this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available at this time, as management is unable to project all special items for future periods (such as legal settlements, the impact of regulatory orders or asset impairments).
Management evaluates segment performance based on segment income and other net loss. Segment income and other net loss are defined as income (loss) from continuing operations net of income attributable to noncontrolling interests and preferred stock dividends. Segment income and other net loss include intercompany revenues and expenses that are eliminated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Management also uses adjusted segment income and adjusted other net loss as measures of historical and anticipated future segment performance. Adjusted segment income and adjusted other net loss are non-GAAP financial measures, as they are based upon segment income and other net loss adjusted for special items, as discussed above. Management believes the presentation of adjusted segment income and adjusted other net loss provides useful information to investors, as they provide an additional relevant comparison of a segment’s or Other's performance across periods. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for adjusted segment income or adjusted other net loss is segment income and other net loss.
Due to the forward-looking nature of any forecasted adjusted segment income or adjusted other net loss and any related growth rates for future periods, information to reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is not available at this time, as management is unable to forecast all special items, as discussed above.
Duke Energy’s adjusted earnings, adjusted EPS, adjusted segment income, and adjusted other net loss may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because other companies may not calculate the measures in the same manner.

Forward-Looking Information
This document includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and can often be identified by terms and phrases that include “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “continue,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “predict,” “will,” “potential,” “forecast,” “target,” “guidance,” “outlook” or other similar terminology. Various factors may cause actual results to be materially different than the suggested outcomes within forward-looking statements; accordingly, there is no assurance that such results will be realized. These factors include, but are not limited to:
◦The ability to implement our business strategy, including meeting forecasted load growth demand, grid and fleet modernization objectives, and our carbon emission reduction goals, while balancing customer reliability and affordability;
◦State, federal and foreign legislative and regulatory initiatives, including costs of compliance with existing and future environmental requirements and/or uncertainty of applicability or changes to such legislative and regulatory initiatives, including those related to climate change, as well as rulings that affect cost and investment recovery or have an impact on rate structures or market prices;
◦The extent and timing of costs and liabilities to comply with federal and state laws, regulations and legal requirements related to coal ash remediation, including amounts for required closure of certain ash impoundments, are uncertain and difficult to estimate;
◦The ability to timely recover eligible costs, including amounts associated with coal ash impoundment retirement obligations, asset retirement and construction costs related to carbon emissions reductions, and costs related to significant weather events, and to earn an adequate return on investment through rate case proceedings and the regulatory process;
◦The costs of decommissioning nuclear facilities could prove to be more extensive than amounts estimated and all costs may not be fully recoverable through the regulatory process;
◦The impact of extraordinary external events, such as a global pandemic or military conflict, and their collateral consequences, including the disruption of global supply chains or the economic activity in our service territories;
◦Costs and effects of legal and administrative proceedings, settlements, investigations and claims;
◦Industrial, commercial and residential decline in service territories or customer bases resulting from sustained downturns of the economy, storm damage, reduced customer usage due to cost pressures from inflation, tariffs, or fuel costs, worsening economic health of our service territories, reductions in customer usage patterns, or lower than anticipated load growth, particularly if usage of electricity by data centers is less than currently projected, energy efficiency efforts, natural gas building and appliance electrification, and use of alternative energy sources, such as self-generation and distributed generation technologies;
◦Federal and state regulations, laws and other efforts designed to promote and expand the use of energy efficiency measures, natural gas electrification, and distributed generation technologies, such as private solar and battery storage, in Duke Energy service territories could result in a reduced number of customers, excess generation resources as well as stranded costs;
◦Advancements in technology, including artificial intelligence;
◦Additional competition in electric and natural gas markets and continued industry consolidation;
◦The influence of weather and other natural phenomena on operations, financial position, and cash flows, including the economic, operational and other effects of severe storms, hurricanes, droughts, earthquakes and tornadoes, including extreme weather associated with climate change;
◦Changing or conflicting investor, customer and other stakeholder expectations and demands, particularly regarding environmental, social and governance matters and costs related thereto;
◦The ability to successfully operate electric generating facilities and deliver electricity to customers including direct or indirect effects to the company resulting from an incident that affects the United States electric grid or generating resources;
◦Operational interruptions to our natural gas distribution and transmission activities;
Duke Energy News Release 6
◦The availability of adequate interstate pipeline transportation capacity and natural gas supply;
◦The impact on facilities and business from a terrorist or other attack, war, vandalism, cybersecurity threats, data security breaches, operational events, information technology failures or other catastrophic events, such as severe storms, fires, explosions, pandemic health events or other similar occurrences;
◦The inherent risks associated with the operation of nuclear facilities, including environmental, health, safety, regulatory and financial risks, including the financial stability of third-party service providers;
◦The timing and extent of changes in commodity prices, including any impact from increased tariffs and interest rates, and the ability to timely recover such costs through the regulatory process, where appropriate, and their impact on liquidity positions and the value of underlying assets;
◦The results of financing efforts, including the ability to obtain financing on favorable terms, which can be affected by various factors, including credit ratings, interest rate fluctuations, compliance with debt covenants and conditions, an individual utility’s generation portfolio, and general market and economic conditions;
◦Credit ratings of the Duke Energy Registrants may be different from what is expected;
◦Declines in the market prices of equity and fixed-income securities and resultant cash funding requirements for defined benefit pension plans, other post-retirement benefit plans and nuclear decommissioning trust funds;
◦Construction and development risks associated with the completion of the Duke Energy Registrants’ capital investment projects, including risks related to financing, timing and receipt of necessary regulatory approvals, obtaining and complying with terms of permits, meeting construction budgets and schedules and satisfying operating and environmental performance standards, as well as the ability to recover costs from customers in a timely manner, or at all;
◦Changes in rules for regional transmission organizations, including changes in rate designs and new and evolving capacity markets, and risks related to obligations created by the default of other participants;
◦The ability to control operation and maintenance costs;
◦The level of creditworthiness of counterparties to transactions;
◦The ability to obtain adequate insurance at acceptable costs and recover on claims made;
◦Employee workforce factors, including the potential inability to attract and retain key personnel;
◦The ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or distributions to Duke Energy Corporation holding company (the Parent);
◦The performance of projects undertaken by our businesses and the success of efforts to invest in and develop new opportunities;
◦The effect of accounting and reporting pronouncements issued periodically by accounting standard-setting bodies and the SEC;
◦The impact of United States tax legislation to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows and our credit ratings;
◦The impacts from potential impairments of goodwill or investment carrying values;
◦Asset or business acquisitions and dispositions may not yield the anticipated benefits; and
◦The actions of activist shareholders could disrupt our operations, impact our ability to execute on our business strategy, or cause fluctuations in the trading price of our common stock.
Additional risks and uncertainties are identified and discussed in the Duke Energy Registrants' reports filed with the SEC and available at the SEC's website at sec.gov. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than described.

(a) Piedmont has a margin decoupling mechanism in North Carolina, weather normalization mechanisms in South Carolina and Tennessee and fixed-price contracts with most power generation customers that significantly eliminate the impact of throughput changes on earnings. Duke Energy Ohio's rate design also serves to offset this impact.

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
