Summary
DTE Energy Company (DTE) filed an 8-K on June 8, 2021, to disclose information regarding upcoming investor events and provide guidance. The company announced investor webcasts and meetings scheduled from June 9 through June 28, 2021, and furnished a slide presentation (Exhibit 99.1) containing this information. Investors should note that the company is providing 2021 operating earnings guidance but will not be reconciling this to reported earnings on a GAAP basis. This is due to the inability to reliably forecast significant and fluctuating items such as non-recurring items, mark-to-market adjustments, and discontinued operations, which can materially impact reported results. Furthermore, the presentation includes discussions of DT Midstream's Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow. Similar to the operating earnings guidance, DTE Energy is not providing GAAP reconciliations for these non-GAAP measures for the full year 2021. The company cites the difficulty in forecasting components of net income such as impairments, charges, or divestiture costs, which can significantly affect reported net income and thus prevent a reliable GAAP equivalent for Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow. Investors are advised to review the furnished slide presentation for details on these forward-looking statements and associated risks.
