RALEIGH, N.C. (Feb. 14, 2008) – Progress Energy [NYSE: PGN] announced fourth-quarter GAAP earnings of $103 million, or $0.40 per share, compared with GAAP earnings of $254 million, or $1.01 per share, for the same period last year, primarily due to the impact of divestitures. Fourth-quarter ongoing earnings were $104 million, or $0.40 per share, compared to $134 million, or $0.53 per share, last year. The unfavorable quarter-over-quarter variance in ongoing earnings is due primarily to higher O&M expenses, partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization and higher wholesale sales. (See the discussion later in this release for a reconciliation of GAAP earnings per share to ongoing earnings per share.)

Progress Energy also announced full-year GAAP earnings of $504 million, or $1.97 per share, compared with GAAP earnings of $571 million, or $2.28 per share, for the same period last year, primarily due to the impact of divestitures. Full-year ongoing earnings were $695 million, or $2.72 per share, compared to $611 million, or $2.44 per share, last year. Core ongoing earnings, which primarily include the company’s utility operations, were $2.81 per share, compared with $2.63 per share last year. The company benefited from lower income taxes, favorable weather, favorable AFUDC equity and lower depreciation and amortization, which were partially offset by higher O&M expenses. Non-core ongoing losses, which include the allocation of corporate overhead costs associated with divested businesses, were $0.09 per share, compared with losses of $0.19 per share last year. (See the

discussion later in this release for a reconciliation of GAAP earnings per share to ongoing earnings per share.)
 
“During a year of transition, Progress Energy successfully met its core ongoing earnings target in 2007,” said Bill Johnson, chairman, president and CEO. “We also completed our restructuring plan, reduced our risk profile, and our employees achieved excellence in plant operations, service reliability and customer service.

“Upon the closing of the coal mine and river terminals sale agreement, we will become the nation's largest pure-play regulated electric utility, with a clear, achievable strategy for long-term success. We are adapting well to an industry being shaped by the issue of climate change and the growing demand for energy. Our company is well positioned to enter an era of expansion and growth in our utilities, with a balanced approach that emphasizes energy efficiency, the use of alternative and renewable energy sources and state-of-the-art power plants,” Johnson said.

 
2008 ONGOING EARNINGS GUIDANCE
 
“Progress Energy is continuing to deliver on our strategy to generate solid earnings growth through our two utilities,” Johnson said. “Based on our business plan for 2008, we have set an ongoing earnings target of $3.05 per share, with a range of 10 cents above and below the target. We continue to expect to achieve our dividend payout goal of 80 percent by the end of this year, which will put us on track to achieve our long-term payout ratio goal of 70 percent to 75 percent.”

The 2008 ongoing earnings guidance excludes any impacts from the CVO mark-to-market adjustment, potential impairments and discontinued operations. Progress Energy is not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for the 2008 earnings guidance figures due to the uncertain nature and amount of these adjustments.

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 more accurately compare the company’s ongoing financial performance over the periods presented. Ongoing earnings as presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The following tables provide a reconciliation of ongoing earnings per share to reported GAAP earnings per share.

Reconciling adjustments from GAAP earnings to ongoing earnings are as follows:
 
Intraperiod 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 fuels operations reduce Progress Energy’s overall effective tax rate. The company’s synthetic fuels sales are not subject to seasonal fluctuations 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 tax expense recorded in that quarter to reflect the projected tax rate. On the other hand, operating losses incurred to produce the tax credits are included in the current quarter. The resulting tax adjustment decreased earnings per share by $0.01 for the quarter and increased earnings per share by $0.03 for the same period last year, but has no impact on the company’s annual earnings. Because this adjustment varies by quarter but has no impact on annual earnings, management believes this adjustment is not representative of the company’s ongoing quarterly earnings.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
The company has reduced its business risk by exiting the majority of its nonregulated businesses to focus on the core operations of the utilities. The company divested, or announced divestitures, of multiple non-regulated businesses during 2007 and 2006 and the operations of these businesses were reclassified to discontinued operations. During the fourth quarter of 2007, the company reclassified the operations of the synthetic fuels businesses and coal terminal services as discontinued operations. The discontinued operations of these businesses and other previously divested businesses increased earnings per share by $0.01 for the fourth quarter of 2007 and increased earnings per share by $0.59 for the same period last year. See page S-4 of the supplemental data for further information on the impact of discontinued operations. Due to disposition of these assets, management does not view this activity as representative of the ongoing operations of the company.
 
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 of the holder to receive contingent payments based on after-tax cash flows above certain levels of four synthetic fuels facilities purchased by subsidiaries of Florida Progress Corporation in October 1999. The CVO liability is valued at fair value, and unrealized gains and losses from changes in fair value are recognized in earnings each quarter. The CVO mark-to-market had no impact on earnings for the fourth quarter of 2007 and had no impact for the same period last year. Progress Energy is unable to predict the changes in the fair value of the CVOs and, management does not consider the adjustment to be a component of ongoing earnings.
 
Loss on Redemptions of Debt
 
On Nov. 27, 2006, Progress Energy redeemed the entire outstanding $350 million principal amount of its 6.05% Senior Notes due April 15, 2007, and the entire outstanding $400 million principal amount of its 5.85% Senior Notes due Oct. 30, 2008. On Dec. 6, 2006, Progress Energy repurchased, pursuant to a tender offer, $550 million, or approximately 44 percent, of the aggregate principal amount of its 7.10% Senior Notes due March 1, 2011. The company recognized a total pre-tax loss of $59 million in conjunction with these redemptions. The loss on the redemptions decreased earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2006 by $0.14. This loss is of a non-recurring nature and is not representative of the ongoing operations of the company.
