2 // 2 Non - GAAP financial Measures This document includes a reference to the forecasted 2025 adjusted EPS guidance range of $6.17 to $6.42 and its long - term range of annual growth of 5% to 7% through 2029 off the midpoint of 2025 adjusted EPS guidance range of $6.30. Forecasted adjusted EPS is a n on - GAAP financial measure as it represents basic EPS from continuing operations available to Duke Energy Corporation common stockhold ers (GAAP reported EPS), adjusted for the per share impact of special items. Special items represent certain charges and credits, which ma nagement believes are not indicative of Duke Energy’s ongoing performance. Due to the forward - looking nature of this non - GAAP financial m easure for future periods, information to reconcile it to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available at this t ime , as management is unable to project all special items for future periods, such as legal settlements, the impact of regulatory ord ers or asset impairments.
