Item 8.01 Other Events.
During the first quarter of 2016, the Duke Energy Corporation ("Duke Energy") chief operating decision maker began to evaluate interim period segment performance based on financial information that includes the impact of income tax levelization within segment income. This represents a change from the previous measure, where the interim period impacts of income tax levelization were included within Other, and therefore excluded from segment income. The segment measure information attached hereto, and incorporated by reference herein, as exhibit 99.1, recasts Duke Energy's historical segment measure for each of the interim financial periods for the year ended December 31, 2015, based upon this new segment measure.
