Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide specific historical revenue, profit, cash flow, margin, debt, or liquidity figures for the current or prior periods. The document focuses exclusively on forward-looking guidance.
Material Changes and Guidance
DTE Energy reaffirmed its 2019 operating earnings per share (EPS) guidance of $5.97 to $6.33 per share. The company noted that certain items impacting reported results will likely be excluded from operating results. Consequently, reconciliations to comparable 2019 reported earnings guidance are not provided, as the company cannot reliably forecast specific line items such as future non-recurring items, mark-to-market adjustments, and discontinued operations.
Risks and Contingencies
The filing contains forward-looking statements subject to risks and uncertainties detailed in the company's 2018 Form 10-K and 2019 Form 10-Q. Management disclaims any intention to update these forward-looking statements based on new information or future events. The information in this report is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
