used as a basis for employee incentive bonuses. The most directly comparable
GAAP measures for adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted EPS are Net Income
Attributable to Duke Energy Corporation and Diluted EPS Attributable to Duke
Energy Corporation common shareholders, which include the dollar and per
share impact of special items, mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges in
the Commercial Power segment and discontinued operations.
Management evaluates segment performance based on segment income.
Segment income is defi ned as income from continuing operations net of income
(loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. Segment income, as discussed
below, includes intercompany revenues and expenses that are eliminated in the
Consolidated Financial Statements. Management also uses adjusted segment
income as a measure of historical and anticipated future segment performance.
Adjusted segment income is a non-GAAP fi nancial measure, as it is based
upon segment income adjusted for the mark-to-market impacts of economic
hedges in the Commercial Power segment and special items. Management
believes the presentation of adjusted segment income as presented provides
useful information to investors, as it provides them with an additional relevant
comparison of a segment’s performance across periods. The most directly
comparable GAAP measure for adjusted segment income is segment income,
which represents segment income from continuing operations, including any
special items and the mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges in the
Commercial Power segment.
Duke Energy’s adjusted earnings, adjusted diluted EPS, and adjusted
segment income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another
company because other entities may not calculate the measures in the same
manner.
See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Business
Segments,” for a discussion of Duke Energy’s segment structure.
