DTE Energy reports strong third quarter 2022 results
•Announced addition of 650 megawatts of new solar energy in Michigan
•Partnered to attract new business to service territory, bringing 2,000 jobs
•Launched tree equity partnership in Detroit
•Ranked a best employer by Forbes
DETROIT, October 27, 2022 – Following a quarter marked by environmental stewardship, collaboration with regional business partners and investments in our communities, DTE Energy (NYSE:DTE) today reported third quarter earnings of $387 million or $1.99 per diluted share.
Operating earnings for the third quarter 2022 were $311 million, or $1.60 per diluted share, compared with 2021 operating earnings of $334 million, or $1.72 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.
“We continue to lead the way toward a cleaner future for all,” Jerry Norcia, DTE Energy chairman, president and CEO, said. “With growing participation in our MIGreenPower program - from small and large industry-leading businesses and residential customers – along with ongoing infrastructure improvements and new business announcements, we are supporting our communities’ and customers’ needs.”
Norcia noted the following accomplishments:
•Partnering with Ford on largest renewable energy purchase from a utility in U.S. history: Through DTE’s MIGreenPower program, Ford made a major step toward carbon neutrality in August. DTE is slated to add 650 megawatts of new solar energy to accommodate Ford’s carbon-free electricity needs, increasing solar in Michigan by 70%. Through this clean energy purchase, 600,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions will be avoided annually.
•Attracting new business with Our Next Energy Inc. (ONE): With pioneering technology, U.S. based ONE announced new battery operations will be located in Van Buren Township, Michigan bringing 2,000 jobs to the area. Attracted in part by DTE’s large industrial electric rate, ONE will bring high-capacity battery storage systems that will connect to the electric grid. As an EV battery supplier, ONE will continue to drive Michigan’s leadership in zero-emission vehicles.
•Launching the Detroit Tree Equity Partnership (DTEP): DTE joined the City of Detroit, American Forests, the Erb Foundation and the White House in the Detroit Tree Equity Partnership. The DTEP is an ambitious program that
aims to equitably build Detroit’s tree canopy through the targeted planting of tens of thousands of trees over the next five years, cooling urban heat zones while providing beauty and improved air quality. The program will also hire and train hundreds to plant and maintain the trees.
•Ranked among America’s Best Employers: DTE Energy is one of the top 10 Michigan-based companies included in Forbes' 2022 America’s Best Employer rankings. DTE also ranks in Forbes’ top 200 nationally for Best Employers for Women.
Outlook for 2022
DTE Energy reaffirms 2022 operating EPS guidance of $5.90 - $6.10.
“We continued to deliver strong financial results through the third quarter,” David Ruud, DTE senior vice president and CFO, said. “The company is well positioned to meet our financial goals in 2022 while delivering for our team members, community and customers.”

In this release, DTE Energy discusses 2022 operating earnings guidance. It is likely that certain items that impact the company's 2022 reported results will be excluded from operating results. Reconciliations to the comparable 2022 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.

Reconciliation of reported to operating earnings (non-GAAP) 16 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.
