rowth rate of 5% to 7% through 2029 ▪ Economic development tailwinds support increasing capital plan while keeping customer rates below the national average; expect to announce new 2026-2030 capital plan between $95 and $105 billion in February CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK) today announced third-quarter 2025 reported EPS, prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and adjusted EPS of $1.81. This is compared to reported EPS of $1.60 and adjusted EPS of $1.62 for the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted EPS excludes the impact of certain items that are included in reported EPS. Higher third-quarter 2025 adjusted results were driven by the implementation of new rates and riders, along with higher retail sales volumes. These items were partially offset by higher interest expense, milder weather and higher depreciation and property taxes on a growing asset base. The company is narrowing its 2025 adjusted EPS guidance range to $6.25 to $6.35 and reaffirming its long-term adjusted EPS growth rate of 5% to 7% through 2029 off the 2025 midpoint of $6.30. Management does not forecast reported GAAP EPS and related long-term growth rates. “We remain on track to deliver strong results in 2025, while advancing an energy modernization strategy that creates value for our customers, stakeholders and investors,” said Harry Sideris, Duke Energy president and chief executive officer. “Wit
