Summary

DTE Energy Company (DTE) filed an 8-K on August 29, 2022, to furnish a slide presentation to be used in investor meetings on August 30, 2022. The presentation includes updated 2022 operating earnings guidance. Investors should note that the provided operating earnings guidance likely excludes certain items that will impact reported earnings.

The furnished information, including the slide presentation, is for disclosure purposes and is not deemed "filed" under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act, meaning it does not carry the same liabilities as a formally filed document. The filing also incorporates by reference forward-looking statements from previous SEC filings, highlighting the inherent risks and uncertainties associated with such projections.
