DTE ENERGY CO 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (May 13, 2022)

Filed May 13, 2022For Securities:DTEDTKDTBDTGDTW

Summary

DTE Energy Company (DTE) filed an 8-K on May 13, 2022, primarily to furnish a slide presentation for investor meetings scheduled for May 16-18, 2022. This presentation includes information and guidance related to the company's 2022 operating earnings. Investors should note that the company will be discussing operating earnings, which exclude certain items that impact reported earnings. DTE Energy explicitly states that reconciliations for these excluded items to reported earnings guidance are not provided due to the unpredictable nature and potential significant impact of these non-recurring items, mark-to-market adjustments, and discontinued operations. The filing also serves as a notification of the investor meetings and the availability of the presentation materials on DTE's website and through this 8-K filing. As is standard practice for such disclosures, the information furnished is not considered "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, thus limiting liability, and is not incorporated by reference into other SEC filings unless expressly stated. Investors are advised to review the forward-looking statements disclaimer, which directs readers to consult DTE's 10-K and 10-Q filings for a comprehensive understanding of risks and uncertainties that could affect actual results.
