Progress Energy announces 2010 second-quarter results;

updates full-year 2010 earnings guidance

Highlights:

Second Quarter 2010

¨	Reports second-quarter GAAP earnings of $0.62 per share, which is equal to the same period last year

¨	Reports second-quarter ongoing earnings of $181 million, or $0.63 per share, compared to $181 million, or $0.64 per share, for the same period last year

Year-to-Date 2010

¨	Reports GAAP earnings for the first six months of 2010 of $1.29 per share, compared to $1.28 per share for the same period last year

¨	Reports ongoing earnings for the first six months of 2010 of $395 million, or $1.37 per share, compared to $363 million, or $1.30 per share, for the same period last year

¨	Updates 2010 ongoing earnings guidance to $2.95 to $3.05 per share, which is the higher end of the previously announced guidance

RALEIGH, N.C. (August 6, 2010) – Progress Energy [NYSE: PGN] announced second-quarter GAAP earnings of $180 million, or $0.62 per share, compared with GAAP earnings of $174 million, or $0.62 per share, for the same period last year. Second-quarter ongoing earnings were $181 million, or $0.63 per share, compared to $181 million, or $0.64 per share, for the same period last year. The significant drivers in ongoing earnings per share were favorable weather, the impact of the repowered Bartow Plant and higher clause recovery, offset by increased interest expense and O&M and unfavorable AFUDC equity. (See the discussion later in this release for a reconciliation of ongoing earnings per share to GAAP earnings per share.)

“We achieved solid financial results in the second quarter and through the first half of the year, and we successfully met high customer demand during one of the hottest Junes on record,” said Bill Johnson, chairman, president and CEO. “We continue to see signs of economic recovery in the Carolinas and Florida, and we remain focused on controlling costs and continuously improving operations. Due primarily to the impact of favorable weather, the company is narrowing its 2010 ongoing earnings guidance range to $2.95 to $3.05 per share, which is the higher end of our previously announced guidance.”

The ongoing earnings guidance excludes the impact, if any, from discontinued operations and the effects of certain identified gains and charges. (See the discussion later in this release for a

reconciliation of ongoing earnings per share to reported GAAP earnings per share.) Progress Energy is not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for the 2010 earnings guidance due to the uncertain nature and amount of these adjustments.

Progress Energy will host a conference call and webcast at 10 a.m. ET today to review second-quarter 2010 financial performance, as well as provide an overall business update. Additional details are provided at the end of this earnings release.

See pages 3-6 for detailed second-quarter and year-to-date 2010 earnings variance analyses for Progress Energy Carolinas (PEC), Progress Energy Florida (PEF) and Corporate and Other Businesses segments.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Financial and Regulatory

Received approval from the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC) of PEF’s rate settlement agreement that will keep customers’ base rates stable until the end of 2012. The settlement also provides PEF the flexibility to reduce its depreciation expense and accelerate the amortization of certain regulatory assets and accelerate storm cost recovery, while earning a return on equity within a specified range of 9.5 percent to 11.5 percent.
Completed root cause determination of the delamination event at Crystal River Unit 3 (CR3) detected in 2009. After a comprehensive analysis, PEF has determined that the concrete delamination was caused by redistribution of stresses on the containment wall that occurred when we created an opening to accommodate the replacement of the unit’s steam generators. PEF is pursuing a detailed repair plan that would achieve the unit’s return to service during the fourth quarter of 2010. The actual return to service date will be determined by a number of factors, including regulatory reviews by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and other agencies as appropriate, emergent work, final engineering designs and testing, weather and other developments.
Filed with the North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC) to decrease the fuel component of customer rates and adjust the components of energy-efficiency programs and renewable energy resources, resulting in a net reduction in customer bills. If approved, rates would be effective December 1, 2010.
Received approval from the Public Service Commission of South Carolina to decrease customer bills by nearly 2 percent, with new rates effective July 1, 2010. The net decrease includes a reduction of fuel costs, partially offset by a slight increase in costs related to energy-efficiency and demand-side management programs.

State of the Art Power Plants

Completed clean air project at PEF’s Crystal River Energy Complex, placing in-service a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system and flue-gas desulfurization unit (scrubber) on Unit 4 in May 2010. The utility’s first clean air scrubber began operating in December and the first SCR in June 2009, both on Unit 5.
Received approval from the NCUC to build a new, 620-megawatt (MW) combined-cycle natural gas plant near Wilmington, N.C., to replace the 600-MW coal-fired Sutton Plant. The project represents a total investment of approximately $600 million and will substantially reduce emissions beginning in early 2014.
Announced contract with Siemens Energy to supply five state-of-the-art gas turbine-generator packages for PEC’s planned 950-MW Lee and 620-MW Sutton combined cycle plants.

Alternative Energy & Energy Efficiency

Announced the Plug-In 2011 electric vehicle conference will be held in Raleigh, N.C., marking the first occasion the conference will be held outside of California. Progress Energy will co-organize this national conference with the Electric Power Research Institute and Duke Energy.
Tampa Bay, Orlando/Central Florida and Raleigh are three of the 11 metropolitan areas in the U.S. developing electric vehicle "plug-in ready" communities as part of Project Get Ready, a collaborative initiative that includes local governments, the Rocky Mountain Institute, and utility leaders.
Announced partnership with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Department of Marine Sciences on a three-year research study to fully map and model North Carolina’s viable offshore wind resources.
Joined Smart Grid Consumer Collaborative to work toward a modernized electric power system that is consumer safe and consumer friendly.
Surpassed 1 million energy-saving compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs sold since January under the company’s Residential Lighting Program, which provides discounts through local retailers across the Carolinas, with estimated energy savings of more than 51 million kilowatt-hours per year.
Launched Appliance Recycling Program in the Carolinas to recycle and remove less efficient refrigerators and freezers from service.

Awards, Honors & Recognitions

PEC received top-quartile ranking in the latest residential customer satisfaction survey from J.D. Power & Associates.

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 non-GAAP measure is appropriate for understanding the business and assessing our potential future performance, because excluded items are limited to those that we believe are not representative of our fundamental core earnings. Ongoing earnings as presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of ongoing earnings per share to reported GAAP earnings per share.

Progress Energy, Inc.
Reconciliation of Ongoing Earnings per Share to Reported GAAP Earnings per Share
	Three months ended June 30		Six months ended June 30
	2010	2009	2010	2009
Ongoing earnings per share	$0.63	$0.64	$1.37	$1.30
Tax levelization	-	(0.02)	-	(0.04)
CVO mark-to-market	-	0.01	-	0.03
Change in the tax treatment of the Medicare Part D subsidy	-	-	(0.08)	-
Impairment	(0.01)	(0.01)	-	(0.01)
Reported GAAP earnings per share	$0.62	$0.62	$1.29	$1.28

Shares outstanding (millions)	290	280	287	278

Reconciling adjustments from ongoing earnings to GAAP earnings are as follows:

Tax Levelization

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 company projects the effective tax rate for the year and then, based upon projected operating income for each quarter, increases or decreases the tax expense recorded in that quarter to reflect the projected tax rate. The resulting tax adjustment had no impact for the quarter and decreased earnings per share by $0.02 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.

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 net 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 for the quarter and increased earnings per share by $0.01 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.

Impairment

During the quarter, the company recorded impairments of certain miscellaneous investments which decreased earnings per share by $0.01 for the quarter and for the same period last year. Management believes this adjustment is not representative of the company’s ongoing quarterly earnings.

Adjusted O&M	$	875		$	837			4.5	%

A -	The preceding table provides a reconciliation of reported GAAP O&M to Adjusted O&M. Adjusted O&M excludes certain expenses that are recovered through cost-recovery clauses which have no material impact on earnings, as well as items considered to be outside of management's direct control. Management believes this presentation is appropriate and enables investors to more accurately compare the company's O&M expense over the periods presented. Adjusted O&M as presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
B -	Nuclear units are periodically removed from service to accommodate normal refueling and maintenance outages, repairs and certain other modifications. PEC experienced two full nuclear outages during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Therefore, no adjustment to the company's O&M expense is necessary, since the number of outages is comparable during the periods presented.
C -	PEC and PEF are members of Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL), a mutual insurance company which provides primary and excess insurance coverage against property damage to members’ nuclear generating facilities. NEIL makes annual distributions to its members. These distributions are dependent upon the financial performance of its investments and amount of member insurance claims.
D -	PEC does not maintain a storm damage reserve account and does not have an ongoing regulatory mechanism to recover storm costs.
