Business Segment Results

The Commercial Businesses segment reported adjusted earnings of $0.09 per share in the second quarter of 2005 compared with adjusted earnings of $0.23 per share in the same period of 2004. The segment realized a ($0.13) per share decrease from its gas marketing, trading and origination Origination

 activities. Increases in fuel costs that are not yet reflected in the prices charged to residential and non-retail customers and increases in operation and maintenance expenses further reduced earnings by a combined ($0.05) per share.

 activities partially offset these decreases.

Second quarter adjusted earnings from the Regulated Businesses segment were $0.27 per share in 2005, compared with $0.22 per share from a year earlier. The increase in earnings was primarily due to an increase in electric gross margins resulting from the electric rate increase approved for PSI Energy, Inc in May 2004. Partially offsetting the increased margins was increased operation and maintenance expenses, higher financing costs, dilution Dilution

A reduction in earnings per share of common stock that occurs through the issuance of additional shares or the conversion of convertible securities.

Notes:
Adding to the number of shares outstanding reduces the value of holdings of existing shareholders.
 and higher depreciation expense, which resulted from increased plant in service and higher depreciation rates associated with PSI's electric rate increase.

Adjusted earnings for the Power Technology and Infrastructure Services segment were flat (or $0.00 per share) for the second quarter of 2005, as compared to a ($0.02) per share loss from the prior year.

Complete details of second quarter and year-to-date 2005 results compared to 2004 can be found on Schedules 5 through 8 of this release.

Earnings Guidance

After taking into consideration the results from the commercial gas business during the quarter and the prospects for that business during the remainder of the year, the company is lowering its previously issued earnings guidance for 2005 to a range of $2.50 to $2.65 per share on an adjusted basis. With regard to 2006, Cinergy is evaluating the ongoing earnings contribution of the commercial gas operations as well as other items in the context of completing its normal budgeting process. Until that process is concluded and the company issues updated 2006 guidance, the company's preliminary 2006 earnings estimate previously provided is no longer applicable.

The company's earnings guidance is based on adjusted earnings. The corresponding GAAP equivalent for 2005 earnings guidance is $2.27 to $2.42 per share.
