(July 23, 2003) - Progress Energy [NYSE: PGN] today reported ongoing earnings of $156.8 million, or $0.67 per share, for the second quarter of 2003 compared with ongoing earnings of $178.8 million, or $0.84 per share, for the second quarter of 2002. Reported consolidated net income under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) was $152.8 million, or $0.65 per share, for the quarter compared with consolidated net income of $120.6 million, or $0.56 per share, for the second quarter of 2002. See the table that follows for a reconciliation of ongoing earnings per share to GAAP earnings per share. Ongoing earnings for the first half of 2003 were $341.7 million, or $1.46 per share, compared with ongoing earnings of $333.7 million, or $1.56 per share, for the first half of 2002. Reported GAAP consolidated net income for the first half of 2003 was $361.0 million, or $1.54 per share, compared with consolidated net income of $253.1 million, or $1.18 per share, for the first half of 2002. "Progress Energy's fundamentals remain strong. Our utility service areas continue to see customer growth and increased usage, and our recently acquired natural gas properties are contributing positively to the bottom line. Year to date, our cash flow from operations, utility operating margins and wholesale sales are up, thanks in large part to the ongoing commitment of our employees to manage costs and improve performance," said William Cavanaugh, chairman and CEO, Progress Energy. "We remain on track with our 2003 ongoing earnings forecast of $3.60 to $3.80 per share, but the economy and weather will obviously be key factors in the second half of the year where we historically record 60 percent of our annual earnings." A number of factors drove the decrease in ongoing second quarter earnings, including unfavorable weather, Progress Energy Florida's retail revenue sharing, higher O&M costs from a planned nuclear outage and dilution from share issuances. These items were partially offset by customer growth and usage, increased sales of natural gas and a decrease in interest expense. The following table provides a reconciliation of ongoing earnings to reported GAAP earnings. A detailed discussion is provided below under the caption "Ongoing Earnings Adjustments." - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Progress Energy, Inc.

The quarterly dividend was declared at $0.56 per share, payable on August 1, 2003, to shareholders of record as of July 10, 2003. This represents a total annual dividend of $2.24 per share. Progress Energy is only one of two companies in the S&P Electric Utility Index that has increased its annual common stock dividend consecutively for the past 15 years. Progress Ventures Completes Power Plant Facilities in Georgia and North Carolina On June 1, 2003, Progress Ventures placed two power plant facilities into service. The new units, fueled primarily by natural gas, add more than 1,060 megawatts of electric generating power to the Progress Ventures power plant fleet. The new power plant facilities are located in Rowan County, North Carolina and Washington County, Georgia. The 600-megawatt Washington plant has a tolling agreement with LG&E Power Trading & Marketing through Dec. 31, 2004. The completion of these facilities brings Progress Ventures' total nonregulated generation capacity to 2,620 megawatts. With the expected completion of the 480-megawatt Effingham plant in the third quarter, Progress Ventures will have completed its nonregulated generation build-out at 3,100 megawatts. Progress Energy Carolinas Announces First Clean Smokestacks Legislation Installation On June 9, 2003, Progress Energy Carolinas announced that its Asheville Plant will be the first in North Carolina to install controls to meet the state's Clean Smokestacks legislation's requirements for sulfur dioxide reduction. In meeting the stricter guidelines of this legislation, Progress Energy Carolinas will invest an additional $175 million over the next six years 2 at the Asheville Plant. In addition to the two coal-fired units at the Asheville Plant, Progress Energy Carolinas will be installing sulfur dioxide scrubbers on nine other coal-fired units in North Carolina. Upon completion, Progress Energy Carolinas will have invested more than $813 million in clean air technologies at its North Carolina coal-fired power plants in support of the legislation. The complete press release regarding the announcement is available on the company's Web site at: http://www.progress-energy.com/aboutus/news/article.asp?id=6322. Progress Energy Announces Development in Audit of Synthetic Fuel Tax Credits On June 24, 2003, Progress Energy announced that IRS field auditors have raised questions about the scientific validity of test procedures and results used to verify a significant chemical change associated with synthetic fuel manufactured at the company's Colona facility. The independent laboratories used by Progress Energy to determine significant chemical change are the leading experts in their field and are used by many other industry participants. Progress Energy believes that the laboratories' work and the chemical change process are consistent with the bases upon which its PLRs were issued. As previously announced, Progress Energy has no plans to alter its synthetic fuel production schedule as a result of these developments. The complete press release regarding the announcement is available on the company's Web site at: http://www.corporate-ir.net/ireye/ir_site.zhtml?ticker=PGN&script=410&layout= 0&item_id=425135. North Carolina Utilities Commission Approves NCNG Sale On June 26, 2003, the North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC) approved Progress Energy's plan to sell North Carolina Natural Gas (NCNG) to Piedmont Natural Gas. The closing of the acquisition is subject to the approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Progress Energy expects the sale to be completed during the summer of 2003. Net proceeds from the sale of NCNG (approximately $400 million) will be used to pay down debt. Florida Public Service Commission Rules in Progress Energy Revenue Sharing Dispute On July 9, 2003, the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC) ruled that Progress Energy Florida must provide an additional $18.4 million to its customers, ending a dispute over the amount of the 2002 retail revenue sharing. Progress Energy Florida provided $5 million in revenue sharing to its customers in March that was accrued for in 2002. The complete press release regarding the FPSC decision is available on the company's Web site at http://www.corporate- ir.net/ireye/ir_site.zhtml?ticker=PGN&script=410&layout=0&item_id=429773. LINE OF BUSINESS FINANCIAL INFORMATION Progress Energy Carolinas Progress Energy Carolinas electric energy operations contributed net income of $88.4 million for the quarter compared with $131.7 million for the same period last year. Factors contributing to the quarter's decrease were unfavorable weather, increased O&M expense from a planned nuclear outage, losses 3 on limited partnership investment funds, increased depreciation and a decrease in the tax benefit reallocation over the prior year. These factors were partially offset by increased revenues from customer growth and usage and a decrease in interest charges. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, Progress Energy Carolinas electric energy operations contributed net income of $223.3 million compared with $217.2 million for the same period last year. See the attached Supplemental Data schedules for additional information on Progress Energy Carolinas electric revenues, energy sales, energy supply and weather impacts. Progress Energy Florida Progress Energy Florida electric energy operations contributed net income of $61.4 million for the quarter compared with $76.8 million for the same period last year. Factors contributing to the quarter's decrease were the additional refund associated with the 2002 retail revenue sharing, accruals for 2003 estimated revenue sharing, and the rate reduction as part of the Progress Energy Florida rate settlement that began May 1, 2002. These factors were partially offset by increased revenues from customer growth and usage and an increase in the tax benefit reallocation over the prior year. On July 9, 2003, the FPSC ruled that Progress Energy Florida must provide an additional refund of $18.4 million to its retail customers related to 2002 revenue sharing. Progress Energy Florida recorded this refund in the second quarter as a charge against electric operating revenue. In addition, Progress Energy Florida recorded an accrual of $9.5 million in the second quarter, which represents the estimated revenue sharing for the first half of 2003. This accrual will be adjusted on a quarterly basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, Progress Energy Florida electric energy operations contributed net income of $132.1 million compared with $134.5 million for the same period last year. See the attached Supplemental Data schedules for additional information on Progress Energy Florida electric revenues, energy sales, energy supply and weather impacts. Progress Ventures The Progress Ventures operations include: Progress Fuels, which includes natural gas exploration and production, coal mining, and synthetic fuels production; and Competitive Commercial Operations, which includes nonregulated generation and energy marketing and trading activities on behalf of its nonregulated plants. The Progress Ventures business unit had net income of $56.2 million for the quarter compared with $53.5 million for the same period last year. Progress Fuels generated net income of $53.8 million for the quarter compared with $46.7 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in gas earnings resulting from the acquisition of Westchester Gas Company in April 2002 and the addition of North Texas Gas operations in March 2003. Synthetic fuels operations generated net income of $41.7 million for the second quarter compared with $44.3 million for the same period last year. Total synthetic fuel sales were 2.9 million tons for the 4 quarter compared with 3.4 million tons in the second quarter of 2002. Total synthetic fuel sales decreased in the current year primarily due to an internal change in the production schedule for 2003. The company anticipates total synthetic fuel production of approximately 12 million tons for the year. Competitive Commercial Operations contributed net income of $2.4 million for the quarter compared with net income of $6.7 million for the same period last year. Factors contributing to the decrease were an increase in depreciation for plants placed in service and higher service company cost allocations. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Progress Ventures business unit had net income of $91.3 million compared with net income of $93.0 million for the same period last year. Progress Fuels generated net income of $80.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared with $88.3 million for the same period last year. Synthetic fuels operations generated net income of $67.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared with $83.1 million for the same period last year. Total synthetic fuel sales were 4.9 million tons for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared with 6.4 million tons in the first half of 2002. Competitive Commercial Operations contributed net income of $10.9 million compared with $4.6 million for the same period last year. Other Businesses NCNG The sale of NCNG to Piedmont Natural Gas is expected to close during the summer of 2003. Net proceeds from the sale of NCNG (approximately $400 million) will be used to pay down debt. The operations of NCNG are included in discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. NCNG had discontinued earnings of $2.5 million for the quarter compared with a $1.3 million loss for the same period in the prior year. The earnings for 2003 were positively impacted by the elimination of depreciation on assets of discontinued operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, NCNG had discontinued earnings of $13.8 million compared with discontinued earnings of $7.2 million for the same period last year. Progress Rail Progress Rail reported net income of $2.2 million for the quarter, compared with net income of $2.9 million for the same period in the prior year. Earnings for Progress Rail were positively impacted from improvements in the recycling business and reduced operating costs, which were offset by higher service company cost allocations. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, Progress Rail reported a net loss of $1.2 million compared with net income of $2.2 million for the same period in the prior year. Progress Telecom Progress Telecom, including Caronet's operations, recorded net income of $0.8 million for the quarter, compared with a net loss of $5.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Progress Telecom contributed positive net income in the quarter due to lower operating costs and a reduction in depreciation expense. 5 For the six months ended June 30, 2003, Progress Telecom reported net income of $1.1 million compared with a net loss of $9.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Corporate Corporate results, which primarily include interest expense on holding company debt, posted an operating loss of $52.2 million for the quarter, compared with an operating loss of $80.8 million for the same period in the prior year. Positively impacting this quarter's results was a decrease in the tax benefit allocation from the holding company to the profitable subsidiary companies. The tax benefit reallocation of $9.1 million recorded in the second quarter of 2003 only includes the tax benefit for the current quarter. The tax benefit reallocation of $33.2 recorded in the second quarter of 2002 represents a cumulative reallocation of tax benefit from the time of the Florida Progress acquisition. Guidance in an SEC order under the Public Utility Holding Company Act states that Progress Energy, Inc.'s tax benefit not related to acquisition interest expense is to be allocated to the profitable subsidiary companies. This cumulative reallocation was first recorded in the second quarter of 2002 and has no impact on consolidated tax expense; however, it does decrease the tax expense of the profitable subsidiaries. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, Progress Energy has issued approximately 4.2 million shares through the Investor Plus and employee benefit plans for proceeds of approximately $172 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, corporate results had an operating loss of $104.8 million compared with an operating loss of $124.9 million for the same period in the prior year. ONGOING EARNINGS ADJUSTMENTS Progress Energy's management uses ongoing earnings per share to evaluate the operations of the company and to establish goals for management and employees. Management believes this presentation is appropriate and enables investors to compare more accurately the company's ongoing financial performance over the periods presented. Reconciling adjustments from GAAP earnings to ongoing earnings are as follows: Intra-period Tax Allocation Generally accepted accounting principles require companies to apply an effective tax rate to interim periods that is consistent with a company's estimated annual tax rate. The tax credits generated from synthetic fuel operations reduce Progress Energy's overall effective tax rate. The company's synthetic fuel sales are not subject to seasonal fluctuation to the same extent as the electric utility earnings. The company projects the effective tax rate for the year and then, based upon projected operating income for each quarter, raises or lowers the credits recorded in that quarter to reflect the projected tax rate. On the other hand, operating losses incurred to produce the tax 6 credits are included in the current quarter. The resulting tax adjustment decreased earnings per share by $0.02 for the second quarter and decreased earnings per share by $0.27 for the same period in the prior year. Since this adjustment varies by quarter but has no impact on the company's annual earnings, management believes this adjustment is not representative of the company's quarterly earnings. Contingent Value Obligation (CVO) Mark-to-Market In connection with the acquisition of Florida Progress Corporation, Progress Energy issued 98.6 million CVOs. Each CVO represents the right to receive contingent payments based on after-tax cash flows above certain levels of four synthetic fuel facilities purchased by subsidiaries of Florida Progress Corporation in October 1999. The CVOs are debt instruments and, under GAAP, are valued at market value. Unrealized gains and losses from changes in market value are recognized in earnings each quarter. The CVO mark-to-market decreased earnings per share $0.01 for the quarter and had no impact on earnings per share for the second quarter of 2002. Since changes in the market value of the CVOs do not affect the company's underlying obligation, management does not consider the adjustment a component of ongoing earnings. NCNG Discontinued Operations The operations of NCNG are reported as discontinued operations due to its pending sale, and therefore management does not believe this activity is representative of the ongoing operations of the company. Progress Energy Florida One-time Retroactive Refund The one-time retroactive rate refund under the Progress Energy Florida rate settlement in March 2002 was related to funds collected during the period between March 13, 2001, when the prior rate agreement in Florida expired, and March 27, 2002, the date the parties entered into the settlement agreement. Due to the nonrecurring nature of the refund, management believes it is not representative of the 2002 operations of Progress Energy Florida. * * * * This earnings announcement, as well as a package of detailed financial information, is available on the company's Web site at www.progress-energy.com.
