Florida Progress Corporation reports higher earnings in 1994


ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (January 23, 1995) -- Florida Progress Corporation, parent
of St. Petersburg-based Florida Power Corporation, today reported 1994
consolidated earnings of $212 million, or $2.28 per share, compared with
$196.6 million, or $2.23 a share, earned a year ago.  Revenues for the year
totaled $2.8 billion, compared with $2.4 billion for 1993.

Earnings per share increased in 1994 because of improved operating results from
Florida Progress' diversified operations.  Significantly higher revenues and
earnings from the company's energy and transportation unit were the primary
reasons for the favorable diversified results in 1994.  

The unit posted higher earnings in 1994 due to improved results from marine and
rail operations, including recent acquisitions.  Diversified earnings were
$21.3 million, or 23 cents per share, compared with $14.3 million, or 16 cents
per share, in 1993.

In 1994, Florida Power earned $190.7 million, or $2.05 per share, on revenues
of $2.1 billion, compared with 1993 earnings of $181.5 million, or $2.06 a
share, on revenues of $2 billion.  Although utility earnings increased in 1994,
earnings per share were lower due to the issuance of additional shares of
common stock.

Retail kilowatt-hour sales at Florida Power increased by 3.1 percent over 1993.
Customer growth of 2.4 percent and a stronger economy contributed to the higher
energy sales.  

Partly offsetting the higher sales was the need to recognize expenses in 1994
associated with a voluntary early retirement program and work-force reductions.
These expenses reduced Florida Power's earnings during the year by $11.5
million, or 12 cents a share.

Also during 1994, subsidiaries of Florida Power decided to withdraw from a
proposed natural gas pipeline project.  The write-off of the investments
reduced 1994 earnings by $3.9 million, or 4 cents per share. 

Florida Progress (NYSE: FPC) is a diversified utility holding company with
assets of more than $5.7 billion.  Its principal subsidiary is Florida Power,
the state's second-largest electric utility with more than 1.2 million
customers.  Diversified operations include coal mining and transportation, life
insurance, real estate and lending and leasing.

                                                       January 23, 1995


Florida Progress Corporation reports higher earnings in 1994


Florida Progress Corporation, parent of St. Petersburg-based Florida Power
Corporation, today reported 1994 consolidated earnings of $212 million, or
$2.28 per share, compared with $196.6 million, or $2.23 a share, earned a year
ago.  Revenues for the year totaled $2.8 billion, compared with $2.4 billion
for 1993.

Significant items influencing 1994 operating results:

     o    Improved operating results from diversified operations.
     o    Higher electricity sales at Florida Power.
     o    Increased expenses associated with a voluntary early retirement
          program and work-force reductions.
     o    A one-time charge from withdrawing as an equity partner in a natural
          gas pipeline project.

Earnings per share increased in 1994 because of improved operating results from
Florida Progress' diversified operations.  Significantly higher revenues and
earnings from the company's energy and transportation unit were the primary
reasons for the favorable diversified results in 1994.  

The unit posted higher earnings in 1994 due to improved results from marine and
rail operations, including recent acquisitions.  Diversified earnings were
$21.3 million, or 23 cents per share, compared with $14.3 million, or 16 cents
per share, in 1993.

Earnings from Florida Progress' life insurance unit were lower in 1994 due to
an increase in death benefits and additional life reserves. 

In 1994, Florida Power earned $190.7 million, or $2.05 per share, on revenues
of $2.1 billion, compared with 1993 earnings of $181.5 million, or $2.06 a
share, on revenues of $2 billion.  Although utility earnings increased in 1994,
earnings per share were lower due to the issuance of additional shares of
common stock.

Retail kilowatt-hour sales at Florida Power increased by 3.1 percent over 1993.

Customer growth of 2.4 percent, increased average customer usage and a stronger
economy contributed to the higher energy sales.  During 1994, average
residential kilowatt-hour sales were up 1.4 percent, commercial sales increased
by 2 percent and industrial sales rose by 3.3 percent.  

Earnings also improved during the year in part because of increased revenues
from higher retail electric rates, placed into effect during 1993, which state
regulators approved during Florida Power's 1992 rate case.

Partly offsetting the higher sales was the need to recognize expenses in 1994
associated with a voluntary early retirement program and work-force reductions.

These expenses reduced Florida Power's earnings during the year by $11.5
million, or 12 cents a share.

Florida Power ended 1993 with approximately 5,800 employees.  At the end of
1994, the utility employed less than 5,000, its lowest work-force level in 10
years. 

Also during 1994, subsidiaries of Florida Power decided to withdraw from a
proposed natural gas pipeline project.  The write-off of the investments
reduced 1994 earnings by $3.9 million, or 4 cents per share. 

Florida Power also recorded higher depreciation expenses in 1994 due primarily
to capital additions, including four new combustion turbines that were placed
into service in late 1993.

1994 FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

Earnings for the fourth quarter of 1994 from Florida Progress' consolidated
operations were $46 million, or 49 cents per share, on revenues of $682.9
million, compared with earnings of $37.2 million, or 42 cents per share, on
revenues of $633.5 million a year ago.

Florida Power earned $41.9 million, or 44 cents per share, on revenues of
$493.5 million in the quarter ended December 31, 1994, compared with $29.4
million, or 33 cents a share, on revenues of $479.7 million in the prior-year
quarter.

Higher utility earnings were primarily the result of increased system
requirements and lower operation and maintenance expenses during the fourth
quarter of 1994.  Also, a year ago, Florida Power recognized the initial costs
of the early retirement program, which lowered earnings in the fourth quarter
of 1993 by $3.4 million.

Earnings from diversified operations were $4.1 million, or 5 cents a share, in
the fourth quarter of 1994, compared with $7.8 million, or 9 cents per share,
in 1993.

The main reason for the reduced diversified results was lower earnings from
leveraged leasing at Progress Credit in the fourth quarter of 1994.  In the
prior-year quarter, Progress Credit recognized gains from the sale of several
assets. 

Florida Progress (NYSE: FPC) is a diversified utility holding company with
assets of more than $5.7 billion.  Its principal subsidiary is Florida Power,
the state's second-largest electric utility with more than 1.2 million
customers.  Diversified operations include coal mining and transportation, life
insurance, real estate and lending and leasing.

Note:  Total revenues include billed revenues and unbilled revenues that are
accrued for accounting purposes.  Statistics for total kilowatt-hour sales
only include billed kilowatt-hour sales.  The statistic for system
requirements is based on total system generation, so it includes billed and
unbilled sales.  Since system requirements include billed and unbilled
kilowatt-hour sales, it is a better measure of total sales growth.
