This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by DTE Energy Company and DTE Electric Company on April 24, 2015. The filing serves to furnish the Securities and Exchange Commission with the company's earnings release and financial information for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity for the reported period. These detailed metrics are contained within the referenced Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, which are incorporated by reference but not included in the body of this 8-K text.
Material Changes and Guidance
DTE Energy reaffirmed its 2015 operating earnings guidance range of $4.48 to $4.72 per share. The company noted that certain items impacting 2015 reported results will likely be excluded from operating results. Consequently, reconciliations to comparable 2015 reported earnings guidance were not provided, as the company stated it is not possible to reliably forecast specific line items that may fluctuate significantly.
Risks and Contingencies
The filing contains forward-looking statements subject to various assumptions, risks, and uncertainties. The company disclaims any current intention to update these statements based on new information. Investors are directed to the "Forward-Looking Statements" section in the 2014 Forms 10-K for a discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially.
