* Represents the mark-to-market impact of derivative contracts in the non-native portfolio, which is recognized in earnings immediately as such derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge or regulatory accounting, used in Duke Energy’s hedging of a portion of the economic value of its generation assets in the Commercial Power segment. The economic value of the generation assets is subject to fluctuations in fair value due to market price volatility of the input and output commodities (e.g. coal, power) and, as such, the economic hedging involves both purchases and sales of those input and output commodities related to the generation assets. Because the operations of the generation assets are accounted for under the accrual method, management believes that excluding the impact of mark-to-market changes of the economic hedge contracts from adjusted earnings until settlement better matches the financial impacts of the hedge contract with the portion of the economic value of the underlying hedged asset. Management believes that the presentation of adjusted diluted EPS Attributable to Duke Energy Corporation provides useful information to investors, as it allows them to more accurately compare the company’s performance across periods.

Notes:

 

(1)         The adjusted net income of $1,700 million for 2010 is an illustrative amount based on the midpoint of Duke Energy’s adjusted diluted EPS outlook range of $1.25-$1.30 per share, which is consistent with the 2010 employee incentive earnings target. The EPS measure used for employee incentive bonuses is primarily based on adjusted diluted EPS. Adjusted diluted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure as it represents diluted EPS from continuing operations attributable to Duke Energy Corporation shareholders, adjusted for the per-share impact of special items and the mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges in the Commercial Power segment. Special items represent certain charges and credits which management believes will not be recurring on a regular basis, although it is reasonably possible such charges and credits could recur. Mark-to-market adjustments reflect the mark-to-market impact of derivative contracts, which is recognized in GAAP earnings immediately as such derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting or regulatory accounting treatment, used in Duke Energy’s hedging of a portion of the economic value of its generation assets in the Commercial Power segment (as discussed separately under “Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share (‘EPS’)”). The most directly comparable GAAP measure for adjusted diluted EPS is reported diluted EPS from continuing operations attributable to Duke Energy Corporation common shareholders, which includes the impact of special items and the mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges in the Commercial Power segment. Due to the forward-looking nature of this non-GAAP financial measure for future periods, information to reconcile it to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available at this time, as management is unable to project special items or mark-to-market adjustments for future periods.

 

(2)         Amount consists primarily of an adjustment for operating cash flow items included in the “Other Sources/(Uses), net” which are combined for the GAAP reconciliation in Investing activities (principally equity allowance for funds used during construction and other changes in working capital).

 

(3)         Amount consists primarily of an adjustment for operating cash flow items included in the “Other Sources/(Uses), net” which are combined for the GAAP reconciliation in Investing activities (principally equity allowance for funds used during construction and other changes in working capital). After reclassification of the approximate net ($260 million) of operating cash flow activity, the amount within investing activities from the “Other Sources/(Uses), net” line item primarily reflects proceeds related to planned monetization of certain long-lived assets.

 

(4)         Amount consists primarily of distributions to noncontrolling interests.
