2012 Earnings Guidance
 
¨  
Announces 2012 ongoing earnings guidance of $3.10 to $3.25 per share
 
 
RALEIGH, N.C. (Feb. 16, 2012) – Progress Energy [NYSE: PGN] announced full-year GAAP earnings of $575 million, or $1.94 per share, compared with GAAP earnings of $856 million, or $2.95 per share, for the same period last year. GAAP earnings were reduced by a charge recorded for the $288 million to be refunded to Florida customers through the fuel clause in accordance with a comprehensive settlement agreement. Full-year ongoing earnings were $871 million, or $2.95 per share, compared to $889 million, or $3.06 per share, last year. The significant drivers in ongoing earnings per share were the less favorable impact of weather, partly offset by lower amortization expense in Florida. (See the discussion later in this release for a reconciliation of ongoing earnings per share to GAAP earnings per share.)

Fourth-quarter GAAP loss was $76 million, or $0.25 per share, compared with GAAP earnings of $125 million, or $0.42 per share, for the same period last year. The fourth quarter GAAP loss resulted from the previously noted charge recorded for the $288 million to be refunded to Florida customers. Fourth-quarter ongoing earnings were $114 million, or $0.39 per share, compared to $133 million, or $0.45 per share, for the same period last year. The significant drivers in ongoing earnings per share were the less favorable impact of weather, partly offset by lower O&M. (See the discussion later in this release for a reconciliation of ongoing earnings per share to GAAP earnings per share.)

"In 2011, we had lower than expected sales, particularly in the Carolinas' retail market. The lower sales, coupled with some unusual expenses, negatively affected our overall financial performance for the year," said Bill Johnson, Progress Energy chairman, president and CEO. "When you take into account the nature of the unusual items, it is clear that our employees maintained excellent focus on providing safe, reliable and efficient services for our customers, which lays the groundwork for stronger financial performance in 2012."

Progress Energy announces 2012 ongoing earnings guidance of $3.10 to $3.25 per share. The ongoing earnings guidance excludes the impact, if any, from discontinued operations, the effects of certain identified gains and charges and any merger-related costs from our proposed merger with Duke Energy Corporation. Progress Energy is not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for the 2012 ongoing earnings guidance due to the uncertain nature and amount of these adjustments.

Progress Energy will host a conference call and webcast at 2 p.m. ET today to review fourth-quarter and full-year 2011 financial performance, as well as discuss 2012 earnings guidance and provide an overall business update. Additional details are provided at the end of this earnings release.

See pages 4-6 for detailed fourth-quarter and full-year 2011 earnings variance analyses for the Progress Energy Carolinas (PEC), Progress Energy Florida (PEF) and Corporate and Other Businesses segments.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
Duke Energy – Progress Energy Merger
 
·  
On Dec. 14, 2011, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) rejected a market power mitigation plan as submitted jointly by Progress Energy and Duke Energy in October. The plan was submitted to address the stated concerns from the FERC, related to excess market power under certain conditions, while preserving the value of the merger for customers and shareholders. The FERC conditionally approved the merger Sept. 30, 2011. The utilities are working to develop a new mitigation plan to address the agency’s conditions.
·  
On Jan. 8, 2012, the company extended the termination date of the merger agreement with Duke Energy to July 8, 2012, as permitted by the original merger agreement between the two companies, to facilitate continued regulatory reviews.
·  
On Dec. 2, 2011, the company received approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) of indirect transfer of control of licenses for Progress Energy’s nuclear facilities to include Duke Energy as the ultimate parent corporation on these licenses.
·  
On Dec. 12, 2011, the South Carolina Public Service Commission (SCPSC) held hearings regarding the application for approval of the joint dispatch agreement between the two companies after closing the merger.  The docket will remain open pending the FERC’s issuance of its final orders on the merger-related actions before the FERC.
·  
On Sept. 20-22, 2011, the NCUC held hearings regarding the merger application.  On Nov. 23, 2011, Progress Energy and Duke Energy filed proposed orders and briefs with the NCUC.  The docket will remain open pending the FERC’s issuance of its final orders on the merger-related actions before the FERC.
 
Financial and Regulatory
 
·  
Filed a comprehensive settlement agreement on Jan. 20, 2012, with the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC) that helps moderate electricity costs for customers in the coming years by giving customers a $288 million refund through the fuel clause over the next four years.  It

resolves the CR3 outage issues before the FPSC and provides additional rate certainty related to the proposed Levy County nuclear project and base rates.  The FPSC will meet Feb. 20, 2012, and a decision on the agreement is expected on Feb. 22, 2012.
·  
Received approval from the FPSC to recover all proposed costs in PEF’s annual filings for fuel and purchased power, environmental projects and energy-efficiency programs. The overall result of these recoveries is a 3 percent increase in total customer bills in 2012. This change reflects the company’s prior decision to reduce short-term spending on the proposed Levy County nuclear project, offset by an increase in fuel costs due to the unavailability of the Crystal River Nuclear Plant (CR3). Within the fuel clause, PEF received approval to collect replacement power costs related to the CR3 outage.
·  
PEF is continuing to work with Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL) for recovery of applicable repair costs and associated replacement power costs. While PEF has not yet received a definitive determination from NEIL about insurance coverage related to the March 2011 delamination, negotiations with NEIL  continue and PEF believes that all applicable costs associated with bringing CR3 back into service are covered.
·  
Received approval from the North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC) of a fuel settlement agreement for an increase in the fuel component of PEC customer rates driven by rising fuel prices.
·  
Concluded Contingent Value Obligations (CVOs) tender offer on Feb. 15, 2012, and as a result, approximately 84 percent of the CVOs were repurchased either through a negotiated settlement agreement or through the tender offer.
 
Power System
 
·  
Achieved all-time generation records in 2011 at the company’s nuclear plants in the Carolinas.  Brunswick Nuclear Plant Unit 1, located in Southport, N.C., and the Harris Nuclear Plant, located in New Hill, N.C., set annual generation records, each producing more than 8 million MWh of electricity in 2011.
·  
Set annual generation record of more than 7.3 million MWh at the Bartow Combined-Cycle Plant in Florida in 2011.
·  
Officially retired the Weatherspoon coal-fired plant Oct. 1, 2011, and advanced the PEC fleet-modernization plan, including ongoing construction of the new gas-fueled Lee and Sutton combined-cycle plants and related natural gas pipelines and infrastructure.
 
Alternative Energy and Energy Efficiency
 
·  
Assisted customers in saving more than 260 million kWh through energy-efficiency programs and measures in 2011 throughout the Carolinas and Florida.
·  
In December 2011, the City of Raleigh placed a 1.3-megawatt solar photovoltaic (PV) array into service on the PEC system.
·  
Announced the start of a two-year research-and-development partnership between PEC and the City of Raleigh to evaluate solar-powered electric vehicle charging stations.

2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
 
·  
Progress Energy's Board of Directors established Aug. 8, 2012, as the date for our Annual Meeting of Shareholders, contingent on the merger with Duke Energy not closing before that date. The deadline for submitting shareholder proposals for inclusion in the 2012 proxy statement for the Annual Meeting is May 1, 2012.

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.

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. Because this adjustment varies by quarter but has no impact on annual earnings, management does not consider this item to be representative of the company’s fundamental core earnings.
 
Impairment
 
The company has recorded impairments of certain miscellaneous investments and other assets. Management does not consider these items to be representative of the company’s fundamental core earnings.
 
Plant Retirement Charges
 
The company recognized charges for the impact of PEC’s decision to retire certain coal-fired generating units, with resulting reduced emissions for compliance with the Clean Smokestacks Act’s emission targets. Since the coal-fired generating units will be retired prior to their estimated useful lives, management does not consider this charge to be representative of the company’s fundamental core earnings.
 
 
7

 
 
Change in the Tax Treatment of the Medicare Part D Subsidy
 
The federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and the related Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, which made various amendments to the PPACA, were enacted in March 2010. Under prior law, employers could claim a deduction for the entire cost of providing retiree prescription drug coverage even though a portion of the cost was offset by the retiree drug subsidy received. As a result of the PPACA, as amended, retiree drug subsidy payments will effectively become taxable in tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2012, by requiring the amount of the subsidy received to be offset against the employer’s deduction. Under GAAP, changes in tax law are accounted for in the period of enactment. Management does not consider this item to be representative of the company’s fundamental core earnings.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
The company has completed its business strategy of divesting nonregulated businesses to reduce its business risk and focus on core operations of the Utilities. Management does not consider this item to be representative of the company’s fundamental core earnings.
 
Merger and Integration Costs
 
The company recorded charges for merger and integration costs related to the merger.  Management does not consider this item to be representative of the company’s fundamental core earnings.
 
Contingent Value Obligations (CVO) Mark-to-Market
 
In connection with the acquisition of Florida Progress Corporation, Progress Energy issued CVOs that represent 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 gains and losses from changes in fair value are recognized in earnings each quarter. Progress Energy is unable to predict the changes in the fair value of the CVOs, and management does not consider this item to be representative of the company’s fundamental core earnings.
 
Amount to be Refunded to Customers
 
The company recorded a charge for an amount to be refunded to PEF customers through the fuel clause in accordance with the proposed 2012 settlement agreement. Management does not consider this item to be representative of the company’s fundamental core earnings.
 
CR3 Indemnification Adjustment (Charge)
 
The company recorded a CR3 indemnification charge, and subsequent adjustment, for estimated future years’ joint owner replacement power costs (through the expiration of the indemnification provisions of the joint owner agreement). Since GAAP requires that the charge be accounted for in the period in which it becomes probable and estimable rather than the periods to which it relates, management does not consider this item to be representative of the company’s fundamental core earnings.
