New Accounting Standards
Other than implementation of the enhanced income tax disclosure requirements as described in Note 24, no new accounting standards were adopted by any of the Duke Energy Registrants in 2025.
The following new accounting standard has been issued but not yet adopted by the Duke Energy Registrants as of December 31, 2025.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. In November 2024, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that requires disclosure of disaggregated information for certain cost and expense categories. This new guidance does not change the expense captions presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations but requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the notes to the financial statements. For Duke Energy Registrants, the amendments will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Duke Energy is currently assessing implementation of this guidance on the financial statement disclosures and expects it will have no impact on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

About New Standards Disclosures

New accounting standards disclosures describe recently adopted pronouncements and those not yet effective, along with management's assessment of their expected impact. This section provides an early warning system for upcoming changes to how a company reports its financial results, often years before the new rules take effect.

Key signals: when management describes a not-yet-adopted standard's impact as "material" or "still being evaluated," it signals potential significant changes to reported metrics upon adoption. Watch for standards that affect a company's core operations — for example, revenue recognition changes for software companies or lease accounting changes for retailers with large store footprints. The transition method chosen (full retrospective versus modified retrospective) affects comparability with prior periods. Companies that delay adoption to the latest permitted date may be struggling with implementation complexity. Compare the disclosed impact assessments against peers in the same industry to gauge whether management's expectations are reasonable.
