Frequently Asked Questions

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to publicly disclose DTE Energy's financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, through its earnings release and accompanying slide presentation, which are furnished as exhibits.

No, the 8-K itself does not detail the specific financial results. Instead, it incorporates by reference the earnings release (Exhibit 99.1) and slide presentation (Exhibit 99.2) which contain the detailed financial information and performance metrics.

Operating earnings guidance refers to the company's projected earnings excluding certain items deemed by management to be non-recurring or otherwise not reflective of ongoing operational performance. Reconciliations are not provided because it's not possible to reliably forecast these specific fluctuating items (like mark-to-market adjustments or discontinued operations) that can significantly impact reported earnings.

Investors should refer to the 'Forward-Looking Statements' section in DTE Energy's and DTE Electric Company's 2020 Form 10-K and their 2021 Form 10-Qs, as well as other SEC filings, which provide detailed discussions of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially.
