    --  Reported diluted EPS for third quarter 2009 was 8 cents, compared to 17
        cents for the third quarter 2008

Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK) today announced third quarter 2009 adjusted diluted earnings per share of 40 cents, compared to 33 cents for third quarter 2008. Reported diluted EPS for the third quarter 2009 was 8 cents, compared to 17 cents for the same period last year.

Reported results for third quarter 2009 were impacted by non-cash impairment charges of approximately $400 million, primarily related to goodwill associated with non-regulated generation operations in the Midwest. These charges have no impact on the company's liquidity position and have been excluded from adjusted diluted EPS.

In the third quarter, the company experienced lower electricity sales as a result of the economy. During the quarter, industrial sales volumes continued to show signs of stabilization and have improved approximately 11 percent from second-quarter 2009 levels. Through the third quarter of 2009, based upon adjusted diluted EPS, the company is slightly ahead of its internal plan. As a result, the company is on track to achieve the employee incentive target of $1.20, based on adjusted diluted EPS, assuming normal weather, continued cost control and solid operational performance, as well as no deterioration in the economy for the remainder of the year.

"I'm very pleased with our results through the third quarter," said Jim Rogers, Duke Energy chairman, president and CEO. "We continue to perform well in this recessionary climate, matching cost reductions with the declines we're experiencing in usage by our industrial customers. We are maintaining our commitment to operational excellence and strong credit and liquidity. Most importantly, we haven't lost focus on building our business for the long-term, modernizing our fleet and achieving constructive regulatory recovery of our capital investments."

Mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges in the Commercial Power segment and special items affecting Duke Energy's adjusted diluted EPS for the quarters include:

BUSINESS UNIT RESULTS (ON A REPORTED BASIS)

U.S. Franchised Electric and Gas (USFE&G)

USFE&G reported third-quarter 2009 segment EBIT of $716 million, compared with $726 million in the third quarter of 2008.

Results were adversely affected by unfavorable weather throughout the service territory and a decline in weather-adjusted sales volumes to industrial customers compared to the third quarter of 2008. These lower results were mostly offset by reduced operating and maintenance costs, increased riders and Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC) related to the company's capital expenditure program, and lower depreciation and amortization.

Commercial Power

Commercial Power reported a third-quarter 2009 segment EBIT loss from continuing operations of $234 million, compared to a loss of $108 million in the third quarter of 2008.

Results were driven lower by non-cash impairment charges primarily related to goodwill associated with non-regulated generation operations in the Midwest. This goodwill impairment charge reflects the current estimated value of these operations, which has declined principally as a result of sustained lower power prices and demand. Absent this impairment charge, results were favorable due to prior year mark-to-market losses on economic hedges and a prior-year emission allowance impairment due to the invalidation of the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR).

Also, native margins were higher in the third quarter of 2009 primarily due to increased Electric Security Plan rates in the Midwest and timing of fuel and purchased power rider collections in 2008, net of lower volumes and milder weather. Additionally, the Midwest gas-fired assets recognized higher EBIT in 2009 as a result of additional capacity revenues in 2009 and a receivable writeoff in the prior year related to Lehman Brothers. Non-native margins increased principally as a result of gains on coal sales.

Duke Energy International (DEI)

DEI reported third-quarter 2009 segment EBIT from continuing operations of $100 million, compared to $77 million in the third quarter of 2008.

Positive results were driven by lower commodity costs in Peru and favorable hydrology in Central America, partially offset by lower commodity prices at National Methanol Company and unfavorable average foreign currency exchange rates.

Other

Other includes costs associated with corporate governance, costs-to-achieve the Cinergy merger, Duke Energy's captive insurance company and the results of Crescent, Duke Energy's real estate joint-venture.

Other reported a third-quarter 2009 net expense from continuing operations of $65 million, compared to $195 million in the third quarter of 2008.

The decrease in net expense for the quarter was due primarily to prior year equity losses at Crescent, including $114 million in non-cash project impairments.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense from continuing operations was $190 million for the third quarter 2009, compared to $176 million for the third quarter of 2008. The increase in interest expense for the quarter was primarily due to higher debt balances offset by lower average interest rates on floating rate debt and commercial paper balances.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense from continuing operations for third quarter 2009 was $244 million, compared to $132 million for the third quarter of 2008. The effective tax rate for full-year 2009 is forecasted to be approximately 42 percent, reflecting the effect of the goodwill impairment, which is non-deductible for tax purposes. The effective tax rate excluding the impairment charge is forecasted to be approximately 35 percent.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The primary performance measure used by management to evaluate segment performance is segment EBIT from continuing operations, which at the segment level represents all profits from continuing operations (both operating and non-operating), including any equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, before deducting interest and taxes, and is net of the income attributable to non-controlling interests. Management believes segment EBIT from continuing operations, which is the GAAP measure used to report segment results, is a good indicator of each segment's operating performance as it represents the results of Duke Energy's ownership interests in continuing operations without regard to financing methods or capital structures. Duke Energy's management uses adjusted diluted EPS, which is a non-GAAP financial measure as it represents diluted EPS from continuing operations attributable to Duke Energy Corporation common shareholders, adjusted for the per-share impact of special items and the mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges in the Commercial Power segment, as a measure to evaluate operations of the company.

Special items represent certain charges and credits, which management believes will not be recurring on a regular basis. 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. 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 provides useful information to investors, as it allows them to more accurately compare the company's performance across periods. Adjusted diluted EPS is also used as a basis for employee incentive bonuses.

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 adjusted diluted EPS for future periods, information to reconcile such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is not available at this time, as the company is unable to forecast special items and the mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges in the Commercial Power segment for future periods.

Duke Energy also uses adjusted segment EBIT and adjusted Other net expenses (including adjusted equity earnings for Crescent Resources) as a measure of historical and anticipated future segment and Other performance. When used for future periods, adjusted segment EBIT and adjusted Other net expenses may also include any amounts that may be reported as discontinued operations or extraordinary items. Adjusted segment EBIT and adjusted Other net expenses are non-GAAP financial measures, as they represent reported segment EBIT and Other net expenses adjusted for special items and the mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges in the Commercial Power segment. Management believes that the presentation of adjusted segment EBIT and adjusted Other net expenses provides useful information to investors, as it allows them to more accurately compare a segment's or Other's ongoing performance across periods. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for adjusted segment EBIT or adjusted Other net expenses is reported segment EBIT or Other net expenses, which represents segment EBIT and Other net expenses from continuing operations, including any special items and the mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges in the Commercial Power segment. Due to the forward-looking nature of any forecasted adjusted segment EBIT or adjusted Other net expenses and any related growth rates for future periods, information to reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is not available at this time, as the company is unable to forecast special items, the mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges in the Commercial Power segment, or any amounts that may be reported as discontinued operations or extraordinary items for future periods.

    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

    * 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 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.
