Frequently Asked Questions

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to disclose information regarding DTE Energy's upcoming investor meetings and to provide context around its 2022 operating earnings guidance, referencing a previously filed slide presentation.

DTE Energy intends to exclude certain items that may significantly impact its reported earnings, such as non-recurring events, mark-to-market adjustments, and discontinued operations. The company believes these items are unpredictable and can cause significant fluctuations in reported results, so they are not included in the 'operating earnings' guidance.

This 8-K filing itself does not contain the detailed guidance. Instead, it refers investors to a slide presentation (Exhibit 99.1 from a prior filing) which is available on DTE Energy's website (www.dteenergy.com).

DTE Energy states that it cannot provide a reliable forecast of the specific line items that will be excluded. These items, like future non-recurring events, mark-to-market adjustments, and discontinued operations, can fluctuate significantly, making it impossible to provide an accurate reconciliation for forecasted reported earnings.
