This presentation includes certain financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Dominion Energy Atlantic Coast Pipeline Dominion Energy and Duke Energy announced the cancelation of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline due to ongoing delays and increasing cost uncertainty which threaten the economic viability of the project Deeply appreciate the tireless efforts and important contributions made by all who were involved in this essential project Despite last month’s overwhelming 7-2 victory at the United States Supreme Court, which vindicated the project and decisions made by permitting agencies, recent developments have created an unacceptable layer of uncertainty and anticipated delays for ACP Specifically, the decision of the United States District Court for the District of Montana overturning the Nationwide 12 program, a long-standing federal permit authority for waterbody and wetland crossings, followed by a Ninth Circuit ruling on May 28 indicating an appeal is not likely to be successful, are new and serious challenges The potential for a Supreme Court stay of the district court’s injunction would not ultimately change the judicial venue for appeal nor decrease the uncertainty associated with an eventual ruling The Montana District Court decision is also likely to prompt similar challenges in other Circuits related to permits issued under the nationwide program including for ACP This new information and litigation risk, among other continuing execution risks, make the project too uncertain to justify investing more shareholder capital No expected material change to Dominion Energy credit metrics
