Highlights:

Fourth Quarter 2009

- Reports fourth-quarter GAAP earnings of $0.59 per share, compared to $0.41 per share for the same period last year

- Reports fourth-quarter ongoing earnings of $142 million, or $0.50 per share, compared to $123 million, or $0.47 per share, for the same period last year

Full Year 2009

- Reports 2009 GAAP earnings of $2.75 per share, compared to $3.17 per share in 2008, primarily driven by the activities related to discontinued non-utility businesses

- Reports 2009 ongoing earnings of $846 million, or $3.03 per share, compared to $776 million, or $2.96 per share, for the same period last year

- Affirms 2010 ongoing earnings guidance of $2.85 to $3.05 per share

RALEIGH, N.C., Feb. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Progress Energy (NYSE: PGN) announced fourth-quarter reported GAAP earnings of $164 million, or $0.59 per share, compared with reported GAAP earnings of $107 million, or $0.41 per share, for the same period last year. Fourth-quarter ongoing earnings were $142 million, or $0.50 per share, compared to $123 million, or $0.47 per share, last year. The significant drivers in ongoing earnings were increased revenues for interim and limited rate relief, favorable returns on nuclear and environmental investments and lower depreciation and amortization, partially offset by increased O&M. (See the discussion later in this release for a reconciliation of ongoing earnings per share to reported GAAP earnings per share.)

Full-year reported GAAP earnings were $767 million, or $2.75 per share, compared with reported GAAP earnings of $830 million, or $3.17 per share, for the same period last year. Full-year ongoing earnings were $846 million, or $3.03 per share, compared to $776 million, or $2.96 per share, last year. The company benefited from increased revenues for interim and limited rate relief, favorable returns on nuclear and environmental investments and favorable weather, partially offset by lower retail growth and usage and share dilution. (See the discussion later in this release for a reconciliation of ongoing earnings per share to reported GAAP earnings per share.)

"In the extremely tough economy of 2009, Progress Energy aggressively managed its costs and met its financial goals while reliably and responsibly serving customers," said Bill Johnson, chairman, president and CEO. "The still-sluggish economy will make 2010 another challenging year, and the recent regulatory decision in Florida exacerbates that challenge. But we are working in a focused, constructive way to meet our short-term priorities while also creating long-term value for our customers and shareholders. I believe strongly in the ability of our employees and the future growth prospects of the communities we serve."

Progress Energy affirms its 2010 ongoing earnings guidance range of $2.85 to $3.05 per share. The ongoing earnings guidance excludes the impact, if any, from discontinued operations, CVO mark-to-market adjustments, potential impairments, valuation allowances and plant retirement charges. 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 fourth-quarter and full-year 2009 financial performance, as well as discuss 2010 earnings guidance and provide an overall business update.  Additional details are provided at the end of this earnings release.

See pages 3-6 for detailed fourth-quarter and full-year 2009 earnings variance analyses for Progress Energy Carolinas (PEC), Progress Energy Florida (PEF) and Corporate and Other Businesses segments.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Financial and Regulatory

  • The Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC) ruled on PEF's request for a $500 million increase in base rates.  The FPSC denied any increase in base rates above the $132 million limited rate relief that was approved in July 2009 for placing the repowered Bartow Plant in service.
  • Filed with the FPSC a status update regarding the Crystal River Unit 3 (CR3) steam generator replacement outage, which currently estimates that all repairs will be completed so that CR3 will return to service by mid-2010.
  • Received final orders from the FPSC for all of PEF's proposed 2010 recovery for fuel, environmental and energy-efficiency costs.
  • Filed with the FPSC a motion for reconsideration of the order setting PEF's 10-year energy conservation goals.    
  • Received approval from 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 slight net reduction in customer bills, effective December 1, 2009.

State-of-the-Art Power Plants

  • Filed with the NCUC a plan to retire by the end of 2017 the 11 remaining North Carolina coal-fired units that do not have flue-gas desulfurization controls (scrubbers).
    • Filed with the NCUC a plan to build a 600-megawatt (MW) natural gas-fired plant to replace the coal-fired units at the Sutton Plant, in conjunction with their retirement in 2014.  The project would represent an estimated investment of approximately $600 million and significantly reduce overall emissions.
  • Began operating PEF's first scrubber at Crystal River Unit 5 in December 2009.

Alternative Energy and Energy Efficiency

  • Placed online two solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays as part of PEC's SunSense(SM) commercial solar PV program:
    • 250-kilowatt array in Raleigh, N.C., built by Carolina Solar Energy; and
    • 250-kilowatt array in Cary, N.C., built by FLS Energy.
  • Signed agreement with Advanced Green Technologies to purchase the energy produced by a 1.27-MW PV array in New Bern, N.C., which brings the total amount of solar-generated electricity scheduled to be purchased by PEC to more than 10 MW.
  • Received approval from the FPSC for a 20-year renewable energy contract with Florida Biomass Energy, effective January 2013, which will generate up to 60 MW of electricity through the burning of waste wood and specially grown vegetation.  
  • Issued a request for proposals for 40 to 75 MW of electricity generated from wood biomass in North Carolina starting in 2013.
  • Received approval from the NCUC for PEC's Residential Lighting Program, which offers discounts at area retailers for energy-efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs. Cost recovery for this program is currently under review.
  • Announced partnership with the City of Orlando, Orange County and the Orlando Utilities Commission to establish Get Ready Central Florida, an initiative aimed at paving the way for electric vehicles.

Awards, Honors & Recognitions

  • PEC received the top ranking in customer satisfaction among large utilities nationally and the highest ranking in the South region for the second year in a row in the latest J.D. Power & Associates survey of business customers.
  • Set new winter peak-demand records in both Florida and the Carolinas during January 2010.

Press releases regarding various announcements are available on the company's Web site at www.progress-energy.com/aboutus/news.

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.

    * Previously reported 2008 earnings per share have been restated to 
      reflect the adoption of new accounting guidance that changed the 
      calculation of the number of average common shares outstanding.

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, raises or lowers the tax expense recorded in that quarter to reflect the projected tax rate. The resulting tax adjustment increased earnings per share by $0.02 for the quarter and decreased 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 does not consider this adjustment to be representative of the company's ongoing earnings.

Discontinued Operations

The company has reduced its business risk by exiting nonregulated businesses to focus on the core operations of the utilities. The discontinued operations of these nonregulated businesses increased earnings per share by $0.09 for the quarter and decreased earnings per share by $0.03 for the same period last year. See page S-5 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 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 increased earnings per share by $0.03 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 this adjustment to be representative of the company's ongoing earnings.

Impairment

The company recorded impairments of certain investments of its Affordable Housing portfolio. The impairments had no impact on earnings for the quarter or for the same period last year. Management believes this adjustment is not representative of the company's ongoing quarterly earnings.

Valuation Allowance and Related Net Operating Loss Carry Forward

Progress Energy previously recorded a deferred tax asset for a state net operating loss carry forward upon the sale of Progress Ventures Inc.'s nonregulated generation facilities and energy marketing and trading operations.  In the fourth quarter of 2008, the company recorded an additional deferred tax asset related to the state net operating loss carry forward due to a change in estimate based on 2007 tax return filings. The company also evaluated the total state net operating loss carry forward for potential impairment and partially impaired it by recording a valuation allowance, which more than offset the change in estimate. The net impact resulted in decreased earnings per share by $0.01 for the prior-year quarter.  Management does not believe this net valuation allowance is representative of the ongoing operations of the company.

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 2013 emission targets. The charges decreased earnings per share by $0.05 for the quarter. Since the coal-fired generating units will be retired prior to the end of their estimated useful lives, management does not consider these charges to be representative of the company's ongoing earnings.

    eliminations. 
    In this analysis, individual variances are presented net of the effect 
    of pass-through items and other offsets. 
    
    A  - Tax levelization impact, related to cyclical nature of energy 
         demand/earnings and various permanent items of income or deduction.
    B  - Discontinued operations consists of 1) Terminals operations and 
         Synthetic Fuels businesses, 2) CCO operations and 3) Coal Mining 
         businesses.    
    C  - Corporate and Other - Impact of change in fair value of outstanding 
         CVOs.    
    D  - Corporate and Other - Net valuation allowance and related net 
         operating loss carry forward.    
    E  - Florida - Favorable primarily due to impact of interim and limited 
         base rate relief.    
    F  - Florida - Favorable primarily due to the net impact of returns on 
         nuclear and environmental cost-recovery clause assets.    
    G  - Carolinas - Unfavorable primarily due to higher pension and benefit 
         costs and higher storm costs.    
         Florida - Unfavorable primarily due to higher plant outage and 
         maintenance costs and higher pension costs.    
    H  - Florida - Favorable primarily due to investment gains on certain
         employee benefit trusts resulting from improved financial market
         conditions.    
         Corporate and Other - Favorable primarily due to investment gains 
         on certain employee benefit trusts resulting from improved financial
         market conditions.    
    I  - AFUDC equity is presented gross of tax as it is excluded from the 
         calculation of income tax expense.     
         Florida - Unfavorable primarily due to placing the repowered Bartow 
         Plant in service in June 2009.     
    J  - Carolinas - Favorable primarily due to depreciation associated with 
         accelerated cost-recovery program for nuclear generating assets 
         recognized during 2008, partially offset by impact of depreciable 
         asset base increases. The North Carolina jurisdictional aggregate
         minimum amount of accelerated cost recovery has been met and the 
         South Carolina jurisdictional obligation was terminated by the 
         SCPSC.     
         Florida - Unfavorable primarily due to impact of depreciable asset 
         base increases.    
    K  - Corporate and Other - Unfavorable primarily due to higher average 
         debt outstanding at the Parent.    
    L  - Florida - Favorable primarily due to accelerated amortization of 
         tax-related regulatory assets in 2008 and the tax impacts related 
         to certain employee benefit trusts.    
         Corporate and Other - Unfavorable primarily due to changes in tax 
         estimates.    
    M  - Primarily due to Progress Energy's issuance of 14.4 million shares 
         of common stock in January 2009.    
    N  - Carolinas - Impact of decision to retire in-service generating 
         units prior to the end of their estimated useful lives.

    eliminations.   
    In this analysis, individual variances are presented net of the effect 
    of pass-through items and other offsets. 
    
    A  - GAAP and ongoing earnings for 2008 are $0.02 less than previously 
         reported due to adoption of new accounting guidance that changed the
         calculation of the number of average common shares outstanding.    
    B  - Discontinued operations consists primarily of Terminals operations 
         and Synthetic Fuels businesses.    
    C  - Corporate and Other - Net valuation allowance and related net 
         operating loss carry forward.    
    D  - Florida - Favorable primarily due to impact of interim and limited 
         base rate relief.    
    E  - Carolinas - Unfavorable primarily due to  higher non-fuel clause 
         recoverable purchased power expenses.    
         Florida - Favorable primarily due to the net impact of returns on 
         nuclear and environmental cost-recovery clause assets.    
    F  - Florida - Favorable primarily due to increased capacity charges 
         from new and amended contracts entered into in 2008.    
    G  - Florida - Unfavorable primarily due to higher pension costs and 
         higher plant outage and maintenance costs, partially offset by the 
         impact of a change in our earned vacation policy.    
    H  - Carolinas - Unfavorable primarily due to prior-year gain on land 
         sales and higher property and payroll taxes.    
         Florida - Unfavorable primarily due to regulatory disallowance of
         fuel costs and prior-year gain on land sales.    
    I  - Carolinas - Unfavorable primarily due to lower interest income, 
         primarily due to lower unrecovered deferred fuel balances.    
         Florida - Favorable primarily due to investment gains on certain 
         employee benefit trusts resulting from improved financial market 
         conditions.    
         Corporate and Other - Favorable primarily due to investment gains 
         on certain employee benefit trusts resulting from improved 
         financial market conditions.    
    J  - AFUDC equity is presented gross of tax as it is excluded from the 
         calculation of income tax expense.     
         Carolinas - Favorable primarily due to increased eligible 
         construction project costs.    
         Florida - Favorable primarily due to increased eligible 
         construction project costs.     
    K  - Carolinas - Favorable primarily due to depreciation associated 
         with accelerated cost-recovery program for nuclear generating 
         assets and Clean Smokestacks Act amortization recognized during 
         2008, partially offset by impact of depreciable asset base 
         increases. The North Carolina jurisdictional aggregate minimum 
         amount of accelerated cost recovery has been met and the South 
         Carolina jurisdictional obligation was terminated by the SCPSC. 
         PEC has ceased recording Clean Smokestacks Act amortization in 
         accordance with a regulatory order.     
         Florida - Unfavorable primarily due to the impact of depreciable 
         asset base increases.    
    L  - Carolinas - Favorable primarily due to lower interest rates on 
         variable rate debt, partially offset by higher interest as a result 
         of higher average debt outstanding.    
         Florida - Unfavorable primarily due to higher average debt 
         outstanding.    
         Corporate and Other - Unfavorable primarily due to higher average 
         debt outstanding at the Parent.    
    M  - Florida - Favorable primarily due to deduction related to nuclear 
         decommissioning trust funds.    
         Corporate and Other - Unfavorable primarily due to the impact on 
         the Corporate tax position resulting from the deductions taken by 
         the Utilities related to nuclear decommissioning trust funds.    
    N  - Primarily due to Progress Energy's issuance of 14.4 million shares 
         of common stock in January 2009.    
    O  - Corporate and Other - Impact of change in fair value of outstanding 
         CVOs.    
    P  - Corporate and Other - Impairment of Affordable Housing portfolio 
         investments.    
    Q  - Carolinas - Impact of decision to retire in-service generating 
         units prior to the end of their estimated useful lives.

    Adjusted O&M                                 $1,661    $1,631       1.8%
    -------------                                ------    ------       --- 
                                                                     
    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 certain nonrecurring items.   
        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 
        year ended December 31, 2009, compared to two full nuclear outages 
        during the year ended December 31, 2008.  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 does not maintain a storm damage reserve account and does not 
        have an ongoing regulatory mechanism to recover storm costs. 
    D - Vacation benefits policy change has no O&M impact at Carolinas due 
        to regulatory treatment.
