DTE ENERGY REPORTS 2004 EARNINGS, MAINTAINS EARNINGS GUIDANCE FOR 2005

         DETROIT — DTE Energy (NYSE:DTE) today reported earnings for 2004 of $431 million, or $2.49 per diluted share, compared with 2003 reported earnings of $521 million, or $3.09 per diluted share.

         Operating earnings, which exclude non-recurring items and discontinued operations, for 2004 were $427 million, or $2.46 per diluted share, compared with 2003 operating earnings of $500 million, or $2.97 per diluted share.

         A reconciliation of reported to operating earnings for both the fourth quarter and 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2003 and 2004 is at the end of this release.

         “Last year was a difficult year from an earnings perspective, but I believe our 2004 accomplishments have DTE Energy well-positioned for the future,” said Anthony F. Earley Jr., DTE Energy chairman and CEO. “The successful completion of Detroit Edison’s rate case and the expected first quarter resolution of MichCon’s rate case will strengthen DTE Energy’s utility core. Additionally, we continued our record of successfully growing our non-utility businesses while maintaining a strong balance sheet and healthy dividend.”

         DTE Energy President Gerard M. Anderson concurred: “We made tremendous progress on the regulatory front in 2004, but we have some key milestones in 2005, including the conclusion of the MichCon gas rate case and the recently filed electric rate restructuring process. During 2005 we plan to retire $200 million of parent company debt, and redeploy an additional $250 to $300 million. The redeployment will focus on high quality growth investments, but if we do not have a sufficient volume of investment opportunities, we will repurchase stock.”

         DTE Energy also reported 2004 cash from operations of approximately $1.0 billion, compared with $950 million reported in 2003. Including the ongoing proceeds from the sale of majority interests in the company’s synthetic fuel production facilities, adjusted cash from operations increased to $1.2 billion in 2004 from $1.0 billion in 2003.

         Operating earnings results for 2004, by business unit, were as follows:

•   DTE Energy Resources operating earnings were $1.84 per diluted share versus $2.72 per diluted share in 2003. The utility operations of this business unit, which are the power generation services of Detroit Edison, declined $0.89 per diluted share versus last year. The decrease was driven by reduced gross margins, due primarily to the loss of retail customer sales to the electric Customer Choice program, as well as milder summer weather than in 2003. Increased operation and maintenance expenses, reflecting costs associated with maintaining the generation fleet and higher benefits costs, also impacted 2004 results negatively. Earnings for the year benefited from increased regulatory deferrals.
 
         The non-utility operations of this business unit include the company’s energy services, energy marketing and trading, coal services and biomass businesses. Operating earnings at these non-utility operations were $1.35 per diluted share, an increase of $0.01 over 2003. The increase was attributable to higher earnings recognized from selling interests in the company’s synfuel plants, as well as higher production of synthetic fuel, partially offset by a mark-to-market loss on oil price hedges. In 2004, the company produced 15.6 million tons of synfuel versus 13.5 million tons in 2003. Earnings from the company’s energy marketing and trading operations benefited from stronger trading results and the

 


 

    timing of gas storage accounting. These increases were partially offset by the absence of a gain recorded in 2003 from the early termination of a power contract.

•   DTE Energy Distribution reported operating earnings of $0.43 per diluted share versus $0.09 per diluted share in 2003. The utility operations of this business unit are the electric distribution services of Detroit Edison. These utility operations experienced a year-over-year increase of $0.36 per diluted share, driven primarily by increased revenues from interim and final base rate relief, but partially offset by lower sales due to milder summer weather and higher reserves for uncollectable accounts receivable.
 
         The non-utility operations of this business unit consist primarily of DTE Energy Technologies, which markets and distributes a portfolio of distributed generation products and services. Year-over-year losses at this business increased by $0.02 per diluted share.
 
•   DTE Energy Gas recorded operating earnings of $0.25 per diluted share versus $0.44 per diluted share in 2003. The Energy Gas utility operations include the gas distribution services provided by MichCon. Utility operations were down $0.14 per diluted share due mainly to the impact of mild weather and higher reserves for uncollectable accounts receivable. Non-utility operations of this business unit include the production of gas in northern Michigan and the gathering, transporting, processing and storage of gas. Operating earnings from these businesses declined by $0.05 per diluted share year-over-year due primarily to gains recorded in 2003 from selling interests in joint ventures.
 
•   Corporate & Other includes non-allocated interest costs, as well as certain non-utility investments, including assets held for sale and investments in emerging energy technologies. Corporate & Other operating losses were $0.06 per diluted share, compared with a loss of $0.28 per diluted share in 2003, due to lower financing costs and gains from the sale of some of the company’s investment in Plug Power.

         For the fourth quarter of 2004, DTE Energy reported earnings were $113 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, down from 2003 reported earnings of $229 million, or $1.36 per diluted share. Operating earnings for the fourth quarter 2004 were $162 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, up from 2003 operating earnings of $138 million, or $0.82 per diluted share.

     Fourth quarter operating earnings results by business unit were:

•   DTE Energy Resources operating earnings were down $0.08 per diluted share versus the fourth quarter 2003. Earnings from utility operations decreased $0.27 per diluted share, driven primarily by lost sales under the electric Customer Choice program and higher power plant operations and maintenance expenses, which were offset partially by cost reductions. Earnings from non-utility operations increased $0.19 per diluted share versus 2003, due mostly to higher synthetic fuel production, earnings from the sale of interests in synfuel projects and increased storage profits related to gas prices.
 
•   DTE Energy Distribution operating earnings increased $0.15 per diluted share versus the fourth quarter 2003. Utility operations increased $0.15 per diluted share, mostly caused by interim and final rate relief. The non-utility operations were flat compared with the fourth quarter 2003.
 
•   DTE Energy Gas operating earnings increased by $0.14 per diluted share versus the fourth quarter 2003. Utility operations improved by $0.12 per diluted share due to interim rate relief, higher off-system sales, favorable weather and additional margin due to the acceleration of several midstream services contracts. Non-utility earnings were up $0.02 per diluted share due to higher gas storage revenues.
 
•   Corporate & Other operating losses were $0.14 per diluted share versus a $0.05 per diluted share loss in the fourth quarter 2003. The decline was due to technology investment writeoffs partially offset by decreased financing costs.

 


 

         Use of Operating Earnings Information — 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.

2005 Outlook

DTE Energy reconfirmed its 2005 earnings guidance of $3.30 to $3.60 per diluted share.

     “We believe that 2005 will be a brighter year for DTE Energy,” said David E. Meador, DTE Energy executive vice president and CFO. “Financially, we expect that our electric rate restructuring proposal and the resolution of MichCon’s rate case will bring our utilities back to financial health and provide a sustainable and stable regulatory structure. We also plan to continue our successful strategy of growing our non-utility businesses while maintaining a strong balance sheet and an attractive dividend. Operationally, our focus will be to effectively redeploy the $1.65 billion in cash that we expect our non-utility businesses to generate from 2005 to 2008 into corporate debt reduction, investments in promising non-utility businesses and stock repurchases.”

         “With the utilities moving towards their authorized return on equity and continued non-utility growth, we expect earnings and cash flows to improve dramatically in 2005 and put us on the right path for 2006,” Meador said.

Recent Events and Developments

MPSC Issues Detroit Edison Final Rate Order

         On Nov. 23, 2004, the MPSC issued the final order in Detroit Edison’s general rate case. The order granted $374 million in rate relief based on an 11 percent allowed return on an equity base of $2.9 billion, with a 54 percent debt and 46 percent equity capital structure. The final order authorized full recovery of $550 million in past environmental expenditures, established surcharges to recover almost $400 million of accrued regulatory assets, enacted a pension expense tracking mechanism and allowed recovery of costs associated with transmission, the Midwest Independent System Operator and nitrogen oxide emission allowances through the power supply cost recovery mechanism.

Detroit Edison Files Rate Restructuring Proposal

         On Feb. 4, 2005, Detroit Edison filed the rate restructuring proposal mandated by the Michigan Public Service Commission’s (MPSC) final order in Detroit Edison’s general rate case. The primary purpose of this filing is to ensure that all customers, including participants in the electric Customer Choice program, pay their fair and proportionate share of each element of service. This will be achieved through the creation of a fair, equitable and unbundled rate structure that is free of subsidization and based on actual cost of service. In addition, Detroit Edison’s proposed method will provide a rational transition period for the removal of rate subsidies. Detroit Edison is not requesting any incremental revenues from this rate restructuring proposal above those granted in the final rate order.

Administrative Law Judge Recommendation on MichCon Final Rate Relief

         On Dec. 10, 2004, the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) issued a Proposal for Decision regarding final rate relief requested by MichCon. The ALJ recommended a $60 million base rate increase compared with the MPSC staff’s recommendation of $76 million and MichCon’s originally requested increase of $194 million. Additionally, the ALJ agreed with the MPSC staff in recommending the adoption of MichCon’s proposed mechanism to allow MichCon to recover or refund 90 percent of uncollectable accounts receivables expense above or below the amount that is reflected in base rates. The ALJ also agreed with the MPSC staff in

 


 

supporting a 50 percent debt and 50 percent equity capital structure utilizing a rate of return on common equity of 11 percent. MichCon expects a final order in the first quarter of 2005.

         This earnings announcement, as well as a package of detailed financial information, is available on the company’s website at www.dteenergy.com/investors.

         DTE Energy will conduct a conference call with the investment community at 9 a.m. EST Friday, Feb. 11, to discuss fourth quarter and 2004 earnings results. Investors, the news media and the public may listen to a live internet broadcast of the DTE Energy conference call at www.dteenergy.com/investors. The internet broadcast will be archived on the company’s website.
