Summary
DTE Energy Co. (DTE) filed an 8-K on March 3, 2014, to disclose information provided to investors at the Morgan Stanley Utilities Conference and the UBS Natural Gas, Electric Power and MLP Conference. The primary purpose of this filing is to furnish a slide presentation (Exhibit 99.1) which includes the company's 2014 operating earnings guidance. Investors should note that the company intends to exclude certain items from its reported 2014 operating earnings, which may significantly impact reported results. DTE Energy did not provide reconciliations for these exclusions due to the inability to reliably forecast these fluctuating line items. The presentation and filing are furnished under Regulation FD and are not considered formally "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act, nor incorporated by reference into other SEC filings unless expressly stated.
