DTE Energy reports third quarter 2014 results, increases guidance

DETROIT - DTE Energy (NYSE:DTE) today reported third quarter 2014 earnings of $156 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, compared with $198 million, or $1.13 per diluted share in 2013.

Operating earnings for the third quarter 2014 were$181 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, compared with 2013 operating earnings of $198 million, or $1.13 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 at the end of this news release.

Reported earnings for the first nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $606 million or $3.42 per diluted share versus $537 million or $3.07 per diluted share in 2013. Year-to-date operating earnings were $609 million or $3.44 per diluted share, compared with $541 million or $3.09 per diluted share in 2013.

“We are on track to achieve our financial and operational goals for 2014” said Gerard M. Anderson, DTE Energy chairman and CEO. “In September, we learned that J.D. Power ranked DTE Energy ‘Highest in Customer Satisfaction With Residential Natural Gas Service in the Midwest Among Large Utilities.¹’ We are gratified that our customers recognized us in this study, and we remain committed to our focus on improving customer satisfaction.”

“In our electric business, for the third year in a row, we experienced double the normal number of days with wind speeds above 40 MPH. This resulted in significant stress on our system - including the 4^th largest storm outage event in our company’s history.” Anderson continued, “We intend to invest significantly to strengthen, harden and automate our system to address these trends and speed the restoration process for our customers.”

Noting that corporate citizenship is a factor in overall customer satisfaction, Anderson added that the company released a new Corporate Citizenship report in September. “The document summarizes DTE’s successes, challenges and progress in its aspiration to be a force for growth and prosperity in the communities where we live and serve. I am proud of the DTE employees who are working to make a difference in many aspects of our customers’ lives, both by the way we conduct our daily business and by participating in a broad range of civic organizations and community activities,” stated Anderson.

Also during the third quarter of 2014, DTE Energy’s Echo Wind Park began commercial operation. “DTE Energy is committed to provide 10 percent of its customers’ electricity needs from renewable energy sources by the end of 2015. The commissioning of Echo Wind Park brings us close to our goal with a renewable energy portfolio that is now 9.6 percent,” stated Anderson. “We expect renewables and natural gas to play a substantially expanded role in future electricity production. Recently proposed EPA carbon regulations would lead to replacement of a large portion of DTE’s coal generation plants over the next decade.” Anderson noted that DTE Energy is working with the EPA to achieve significant environmental progress while also ensuring that the state’s electric supply remains reliable and affordable.

Outlook for 2014

DTE Energy narrowed and increased its 2014 operating earnings guidance to $4.28 to $4.42 from $4.20 to $4.40 per diluted share.

“We are on solid financial footing after nine months of the year, despite third quarter weather that included cool temperatures and a challenging number of severe storms,” said Peter Oleksiak, DTE Energy senior vice president and CFO. “We are confident in raising operating earnings guidance from a mid-point of

$4.30 to $4.35 for 2014. Looking beyond 2014, we expect our corporate focus on continuous improvement in all aspects of our business to provide the platform upon which we will achieve future financial objectives.”

This earnings announcement, as well as a package of slides and supplemental information, is available at www.dteenergy.com/investors.

DTE Energy plans to conduct a conference call with the investment community hosted by Oleksiak at 9:00 a.m. ET today, to discuss third quarter 2014 earnings results.

The term “Growth segments” refers to DTE Energy without Energy Trading and represents the business segments that management expects to generate earnings growth going forward. 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. These items may fluctuate significantly from period to period and may have a significant impact on reported earnings. For comparative purposes, 2008 through 2012 operating earnings exclude the Unconventional Gas Production segment that was classified as a discontinued operation on 12/31/2012. 27
