     - Reported basic earnings per share of 33 cents in second quarter 2005
       versus 46 cents in previous year; 31 cents in ongoing basic EPS versus 42
       cents in prior year's quarter

     - Mild weather dampens sales at Franchised Electric and DENA

     - Field Services and International post strong quarter

     - Company on track to meet 2005 EPS incentive target

    CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK)
today reported second quarter 2005 basic earnings per share (EPS) of $0.33, or
$309 million in net income, compared to $0.46 per share in second quarter 2004,
or $432 million. On a diluted basis, second quarter 2005 earnings were $0.32 per
share, compared to $0.45 in second quarter 2004.

    Ongoing basic EPS for second quarter 2005, which excludes special items,
were $0.31 versus $0.42 in second quarter 2004. On a diluted basis, ongoing EPS
for second quarter 2005 were $0.30 compared to $0.42 in second quarter 2004.

    "Thanks to a strong performance from Field Services and International, our
results are on plan with respect to where we thought we would be at this point
in the year. Mild weather hurt sales at our merchant and regulated electric
businesses this quarter, but we remain confident that we will be able to achieve
our 2005 EPS incentive of $1.60 per share," said Paul Anderson, chairman of the
board and chief executive officer. That incentive should track basic ongoing
earnings.

    "Looking to full-year results, the weather in July portends a stronger third
quarter for Duke Power and Duke Energy North America. Based on transactions
expected in the second half, Crescent is poised to meet or exceed last year's
results. And International expects to have an exceptional year," he said.

    Anderson added the company's debt reduction efforts in 2004 continue to help
Duke Energy in 2005. Second quarter 2005 interest expense was $39 million less
than the previous year's quarter.

    BUSINESS UNIT RESULTS

    Franchised Electric
    Second quarter 2005 segment EBIT from continuing operations for Franchised
Electric was $274 million, compared to $338 million in the prior year's quarter.
The decrease was driven by milder weather, which lowered residential sales 9.1
percent. Also contributing to the decrease were higher operating and maintenance
expenses - mainly additional planned power plant outages, increased right of way
maintenance expenses and storm costs.



    The decrease in segment EBIT for the quarter was partially offset by
improved bulk power marketing (BPM) sales. In addition to greater sales, the
improvement in BPM results was driven by a $27 million charge recorded in second
quarter 2004 related to the commencement of the profit-sharing program with
customers in North Carolina and South Carolina. Another positive for Franchised
Electric in the quarter was an increase of 42,000 customers - about 2 percent --
over the prior year.

    J.D. Power announced last month that Duke Power ranked No. 1 in
residential customer satisfaction in the South region of the United States.

    Year-to-date segment EBIT from continuing operations for Franchised Electric
was $610 million, compared to $762 million in 2004.

    Franchised Electric remains on target to meet its annual segment growth
target of zero to 2 percent for the 2005 to 2007 time period. While year-to-
date segment EBIT from continuing operations is lower than the comparable period
last year, the company expects segment EBIT for 2005 at or slightly below 2004
segment EBIT.

    Natural Gas Transmission
    Duke Energy Gas Transmission (DEGT) reported second quarter 2005 EBIT from
continuing operations of $302 million compared to $311 million in the prior
year's quarter. The decrease resulted from a benefit of $17 million for the
favorable resolution of ad valorem tax issues in several states and a $9 million
gain on the sale of assets, both in second quarter 2004. Continued contributions
from U.S. expansion projects and a $9 million benefit due to a stronger Canadian
currency boosted earnings for the second quarter 2005.

    The favorable Canadian currency impacts on DEGT's EBIT were partially offset
in Duke Energy's net income by currency impacts on Canadian interest and taxes.

    Year-to-date EBIT from continuing operations for Natural Gas Transmission
was $709 million, compared with $709 million in 2004.

    Natural Gas Transmission continues to expect its ongoing annual segment EBIT
growth rate to be in the range of 3 percent to 5 percent for the 2005 to 2007
time period. The recent transfer of Field Services' Canadian assets and the
addition of the Empress system from ConocoPhillips will contribute to earnings
growth and put DEGT at the high end of this range for 2005.

    Field Services
    The Field Services business segment, which in the quarter represented Duke
Energy's 70-percent interest in Duke Energy Field Services (DEFS), reported
second quarter 2005 EBIT from continuing operations of $166 million compared to
$95 million in second quarter 2004.

    The increase was primarily driven by higher commodity prices, net of
hedging, slightly offset by increased operating expenses and the absence of
earnings from TEPPCO, which was sold in first quarter 2005.

    On July 5, 2005, Duke Energy transferred a 19.7 percent interest in DEFS to
ConocoPhillips in exchange for cash and assets of approximately $1.1 billion.
Going forward, DEFS will be a 50/50 joint venture between Duke Energy and
ConocoPhillips.

    Year-to-date EBIT from continuing operations for Field Services was
approximately $1.09 billion, compared to $186 million in 2004.

    The company expects ongoing equity earnings from its 50-percent interest in
Field Services for the last half of 2005 to be about $200 million, not adjusted
for the remaining recognition of the hedge de-designation of negative $73
million, and net of interest expense.



    Duke Energy North America
    Duke Energy North America (DENA) reported a segment EBIT loss from
continuing operations of $56 million in second quarter 2005, compared to a loss
of $38 million in second quarter 2004.

    The increased loss for the quarter was due to reduced generation sales as a
result of milder weather in the West and losses related to the current weakness
in the gas transportation business, which resulted in lower margins in the
second quarter of 2005 versus 2004. These losses were partially offset by
reductions in operating and general and administrative expenses during second
quarter 2005. Additionally, mark-to-market earnings in second quarter 2005 were
flat, representing a $24 million decrease ($22 million before minority interest)
from second quarter 2004, due primarily to the absence of last year's
mark-to-market gains that were related to favorable market price changes on the
disqualified hedge positions.

    Overall year-to-date EBIT loss from continuing operations for DENA was $91
million, compared to a $595 million loss in 2004.

    Provided that hot summer weather occurs in the third quarter, the company
expects DENA to reach its 2005 goal of no more than a $150 million ongoing
segment EBIT loss.

    International Energy
    For second quarter 2005, Duke Energy International (DEI) reported segment
EBIT from continuing operations of $86 million, compared to $68 million in
second quarter 2004. The results were driven primarily by improved performance
in Brazil due to increased volumes offset by lower prices, the stronger
Brazilian real and higher commodity prices at National Methanol.

    The favorable currency impacts on DEI's EBIT were partially offset in Duke
Energy's net income by currency impacts on Brazilian interest and taxes.

    Year-to-date EBIT from continuing operations for International Energy was
$154 million, compared with $97 million in 2004.

    International Energy expects to see ongoing annual segment EBIT growth in
the 2 percent to 3 percent range over the 2005 to 2007 time period. However,
International Energy is expecting to have a very good year in 2005 as a result
of improved Latin America operations, higher prices at our National Methanol
business and favorable foreign currency exchange.

    Crescent Resources
    Crescent Resources reported second quarter 2005 segment EBIT from continuing
operations of $39 million, compared to $87 million in the previous year's
quarter. The difference was largely due to a $45 million gain on a commercial
land sale at Potomac Yard in northern Virginia, which occurred in second quarter
2004.

    Year-to-date EBIT from continuing operations for Crescent Resources was $91
million, compared with $147 million in 2004.

    As the result of continuing strength in real estate markets this year,
segment EBIT from continuing and discontinued operations for 2005 is expected to
be at, or above, the results for 2004 -- which were approximately $250 million.



    Other
    Other includes the cost of corporate governance, DukeNet Communications, the
company's 50-percent interest in Duke/Fluor Daniel, Duke Energy Merchants, Duke
Energy's captive insurance company Bison Insurance Co. Limited and de-
designated hedges resulting from the decision to transfer a 19.7 percent
interest in DEFS to ConocoPhillips. Other reported an EBIT loss from continuing
operations of $88 million in second quarter 2005, compared to a loss of $26
million in second quarter 2004. The additional losses were due primarily to
increased liabilities associated with mutual insurance companies, the change in
value of the de-designated hedges during the quarter and the gain on the Enron
bankruptcy settlement in second quarter 2004.

    Year-to-date EBIT loss from continuing operations for Other was $257
million, compared with a $31 million EBIT loss in 2004.

    Ongoing EBIT for Other is expected to remain in the $200 million loss range
annually, excluding any changes due to mark-to-market fluctuations on the
de-designated hedges.

    Discontinued Operations
    Discontinued Operations showed a second quarter 2005 loss of $2 million,
compared to a gain of $26 million in 2004. The difference was due primarily to a
true-up on the net gain on the sale of International Energy assets in the second
quarter 2004.

    Year-to-date, Discontinued Operations posted a loss of $1 million, compared
with a gain of $272 million in 2004.

    INTEREST EXPENSE

    Interest expense was $297 million for second quarter 2005, compared to $336
million for second quarter 2004. This decrease was primarily due to the
company's debt reduction efforts in 2004.

    Year-to-date interest expense was $590 million, compared with interest
expense of $692 million in 2004.

    INCOME TAX

    Second quarter 2005 income tax expense from continuing operations was $151
million, compared to $134 million in second quarter 2004. During second quarter
2004, Duke Energy released income tax reserves of approximately $52 million,
resulting from the resolution of various outstanding income tax issues during
the quarter and changes in estimates. The impact of this prior year release of
income tax reserves was offset by lower pretax earnings during second quarter
2005, as compared to the same period in 2004.

    Year-to-date income tax expense from continuing operations was $598 million,
compared to $167 million in 2004.



    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Duke Energy's consolidated capital structure at the end of second quarter
2005, including short-term debt, was 50 percent debt, 45 percent common equity
and 5 percent minority interests. The company had approximately $2.05 billion in
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at the end of second quarter
2005.

    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) before deducting interest and taxes, and is net of the minority
interest expense related to those profits. 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 our ownership interests in continuing operations without regard to
financing methods or capital structures.

    Duke Energy's management uses ongoing basic and diluted EPS, which are
non-GAAP financial measures as they represent basic and diluted EPS adjusted for
the impact of special items, as two of the measures to evaluate operations of
the company. Special items represent certain charges and credits which
management believes will not be recurring on a regular basis. Management
believes that the presentation of ongoing basic and diluted EPS provides useful
information to investors, as it allows them to more accurately compare the
company's ongoing performance across all periods. Ongoing basic EPS is also the
basis used for employee incentive bonuses. The most directly comparable GAAP
measures for ongoing basic and diluted EPS are reported basic and diluted EPS,
respectively, which include the impact of special items. Due to the
forward-looking nature of ongoing basic and diluted EPS for future periods,
information to reconcile such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure is not available at this time as the company
is unable to forecast any special items for future periods.

    Duke Energy also uses ongoing segment EBIT as a measure of historical and
anticipated future segment performance. When used for future periods, ongoing
segment EBIT may also include any amounts that may be reported as discontinued
operations. Ongoing segment EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure as it
represents reported segment EBIT adjusted for special items. Management believes
that the presentation of ongoing segment EBIT provides useful information to
investors, as it allows them to more accurately compare a segment's ongoing
performance across all periods. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for
ongoing segment EBIT is reported segment EBIT, which represents EBIT from
continuing operations, including any special items. Due to the forward-looking
nature of forecasted ongoing segment EBIT and 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 any special items or any amounts that may be
reported as discontinued operations for future periods.



    Duke Energy also uses segment EBIT from continuing and discontinued
operations as a measure of historical and anticipated future segment performance
for Crescent Resources. Since selling commercial and multi-family assets is an
ongoing part of operations for Crescent Resources, it is likely that Crescent
Resources will report discontinued operations on a recurring basis under normal
operating conditions. Accordingly, management believes that the presentation of
segment EBIT from continuing and discontinued operations provides useful
information to investors, as it allows them to compare Crescent's total
performance across all periods. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for
Crescent's segment EBIT from continuing and discontinued operations is reported
segment EBIT from continuing operations. Information to reconcile this non-GAAP
financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not
available at this time as the company is unable to forecast those Crescent
operations, if any, which will be discontinued operations during 2005.

net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004
increased by $21, while net cash used in investing activities for the six months
ended June 30, 2004 increased by $21 million.
