Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

DTE Energy Company (DTE Energy) is furnishing the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with its earnings release issued April 28, 2020, announcing financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. A copy of the earnings release and the slide presentation, including supplemental financial information, are furnished as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference. In its earnings release and the slide presentation discussed below, DTE Energy reaffirms its 2020 operating earnings guidance range of $6.47-$6.75.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

DTE Energy is furnishing the SEC with its slide presentation issued April 28, 2020. A copy of the slide presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

In its earnings release, slide presentation and this filing, DTE Energy discusses 2020 operating earnings guidance. It is likely that certain items that impact the company's 2020 reported results will be excluded from operating results. Reconciliations to the comparable 2020 reported earnings guidance are not provided because it is not possible to provide a reliable forecast of specific line items (i.e. future non-recurring items, certain mark-to-market adjustments and discontinued operations). These items may fluctuate significantly from period to period and may have a significant impact on reported earnings.

DTE Energy also discusses Adjusted EBITDA in its slide presentation. The reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA as projected for full-year 2020 is not provided. DTE Energy does not forecast net income as it cannot, without unreasonable efforts, estimate or predict with certainty the components of net income. These components, net of tax, may include, but are not limited to, impairments of assets and other charges, divesture costs, acquisition costs, or changes in accounting principles. All of these components could significantly impact such financial measures. At this time, DTE Energy is not able to estimate the aggregate impact, if any, of these items on future period reported earnings. Accordingly, DTE Energy is not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for Adjusted EBITDA.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth in such a filing.

DETROIT, Apr. 28, 2020 - As the full impact of COVID-19 is still becoming evident, DTE Energy (NYSE:DTE) moved quickly to activate its pandemic response team. The company’s primary concern has been the health and well-being of DTE customers, communities and employees.

Today DTE also reported first quarter 2020 earnings of $340 million, or $1.76 per diluted share, compared with $401 million, or $2.19 per diluted share in 2019.

Operating earnings for the first quarter 2020 were $320 million, or $1.66 per diluted share, compared with 2019 operating earnings of $374 million, or $2.05 per diluted share. Operating earnings exclude non-recurring items, certain mark-to-market adjustments and discontinued operations. Reconciliations of reported earnings to operating earnings are included at the end of this news release.

“DTE has a proud heritage of rallying at the toughest of times. Whether we’re dealing with catastrophic storms or economic crisis, in every case, we’ve emerged a better, stronger company. There is no doubt that the work required of us today will set us up for another successful decade,” said Jerry Norcia, DTE Energy president and CEO.

Additionally, Norcia noted the following accomplishments:


•	Providing reliable and safe service during the COVID-19 pandemic: The 10,000 women and men of DTE and key suppliers have never stopped working during this crisis to provide reliable and safe energy. We refined our safety practices to ensure we deliver energy while keeping employees and customers safe.


•	Providing assistance to low-income and vulnerable customers: Instituted shut-off moratoriums for low-income and senior customers and created new payment plans to ease the burden of COVID-19.


•	Mobilizing resources to address our communities’ needs: DTE’s Foundation and its non-profit and philanthropic partners are mobilizing resources to swiftly address our communities’ most vital needs. This includes supporting basic needs, such as food, shelter and access to core medical services.


•	Organized support for small businesses: Working with state and federal leaders and the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation, DTE helped small businesses apply for small business administration loans.


•	Donated personal protection equipment: Distributing 2 million respiratory masks to area hospitals, police, fire and critical workers.


•	Received IRP order: The order increases energy efficiency goals and ensures a renewable energy pathway that will support DTE’s goal of net zero carbon emissions from electric generation by 2050.


•	Ranked among top 10 energy companies in the U.S. for energy efficiency programs: Ranked as the eighth-leading energy company in the nation for our energy efficiency savings to customers. Residential and business customers who participated in efficiency programs saw a 27% increase in annual energy savings as the company dramatically broadened efficiency program offerings.

Outlook for 2020

DTE Energy reaffirms 2020 operating EPS guidance of $6.47 - $6.75.

“Over the years, we have earned a reputation as a top company in our industry because we consistently deliver on our financial commitments. It is very important that we maintain this hard-earned reputation by meeting our 2020 financial targets. By doing so, we help ensure success for all our key stakeholders - employees, customers, community and shareholders,” said Peter Oleksiak, DTE Energy senior vice president and CFO.

Reconciliation of operating earnings (non-GAAP) to reported earnings included in the appendix 2. Consists of 1) the income statement effect of not recognizing changes in the fair market value of certain non-derivative contracts including physical inventory and capacity contracts for transportation, transmission and storage. These contracts are not marked-to-market, instead are recognized for accounting purposes on an accrual basis and 2) operating adjustments for 30 unrealized marked-to-market changes of certain derivative contracts 3. Economic gross margin is the change in net fair value of realized and unrealized purchase and sale contracts including certain non-derivative contract costs

Reconciliation of reported to operating earnings (non-GAAP) Use of Operating Earnings Information – Operating earnings exclude non-recurring items, certain mark-to-market adjustments and discontinued operations. DTE Energy management believes that operating earnings provide a more meaningful representation of the company’s earnings from ongoing operations and uses operating earnings as the primary performance measurement for external communications with analysts and investors. Internally, DTE Energy uses operating earnings to measure performance against budget and to report to the Board of Directors. In this presentation, DTE Energy provides guidance for future period operating earnings. It is likely that certain items that impact the company’s future period reported results will be excluded from operating results. A reconciliation to the comparable future period reported earnings is not provided because it is not possible to provide a reliable forecast of specific line items (i.e. future non-recurring items, certain mark-to-market adjustments and discontinued operations). These items may fluctuate significantly from period to period and may have a significant impact on reported earnings. 34

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA is calculated using net income, the most comparable GAAP measure and adding back expenses for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA also includes an adjustment for DTE’s proportional share of joint venture net income, excluding taxes and depreciation. For GSP, DTE Energy management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful disclosure to investors as it is more commonly used as the primary performance measurement for external communications with analysts and investors in the midstream industry. Reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA as projected for full-year 2020 is not provided. We do not forecast net income as we cannot, without unreasonable efforts, estimate or predict with certainty the components of net income. These components, net of tax, may include, but are not limited to, impairments of assets and other charges, divesture costs, acquisition costs, or changes in accounting principles. All of these components could significantly impact such financial measures. At this time, management is not able to estimate the aggregate impact, if any, of these items on future period reported earnings. Accordingly, we are not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for Adjusted EBITDA. 35
