DTE Energy reports second quarter 2016 results, raises guidance
DETROIT - DTE Energy (NYSE: DTE) today reported second quarter 2016 earnings of $152 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, compared with $109 million, or $0.61 per diluted share in 2015. Higher reported earnings in the second quarter were partially driven by weather at the utilities.
Operating earnings for the second quarter 2016 were $177 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, compared with 2015 operating earnings of $137 million, or $0.76 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.
“The company’s second quarter performance builds on the success of the first quarter, resulting in a strong first half of 2016,” said Gerry Anderson, DTE chairman and CEO. Anderson also noted the following recent company accomplishments:
• | Earlier this month, DTE Energy ranked second in overall customer satisfaction with electric utility residential customers in the Midwest among large utilities in J.D. Power’s 2016 study. The recent results mark a sixth consecutive year that DTE Energy has ranked in the top quartile for Midwest large utilities. DTE has improved its customer satisfaction score every year since 2012. |
• | Through the first half of the year, DTE spent nearly $600 million with Michigan-based companies as part of the Pure Michigan Business Connect initiative, well above the $500 million year to date target. This is an increase of 20% and puts the company on track for a record $1.2 billion spend this year. The spend helps drive the state and local economy and create jobs without compromising on cost and quality. |
• | In one of the most recognized global measures of corporate environmental performance, DTE placed third in Newsweek’s ranking of the top green energy companies and 32nd across all industries. DTE moved up nearly 50 positions from its 2015 ranking. Newsweek performs its annual assessments in partnership with Corporate Knights Capital and HIP Investor Inc. |
• | The Edison Electric Institute (EEI) has honored DTE Energy with its prestigious 2016 EEI Supplier Diversity Excellence Award -- one of the highest supplier diversity honors in the energy business. In announcing the award, EEI noted DTE's efforts to promote diverse businesses, and its progressive program to attract, develop and retain diverse suppliers. |
• | DTE Energy achieved the strongest OSHA safety performance in the company’s history during the first half of the 2016. In addition, DTE Energy received the 2015 American Gas Association's (AGA) Safety Achievement Award for excellence in employee safety. The award recognizes companies that have the lowest number of injuries and illnesses as measured by the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). |
Anderson also noted “These accomplishments span the breadth and depth of our business, showcasing the multifaceted strategy we’re executing to reach new levels of excellence across all areas of our business, getting us one step closer to achieving our aspiration of being the best operated energy company in North America.”
DTE raises operating EPS guidance for 2016
DTE Energy raised its 2016 operating earnings per share guidance to $4.91 to $5.19 from $4.80 to $5.05.
“We feel confident in raising our 2016 earnings guidance from a midpoint of $4.93 to $5.05 per share based on our strong ongoing performance. This confidence is further evidenced by our Board of Directors’ action in June to
increase the annualized dividend 5.5 percent to $3.08 per share. The dividend continues the company’s more than 100 year history of issuing a dividend” said Peter Oleksiak, DTE Energy senior vice president and chief financial officer.
This earnings announcement, as well as a package of slides and supplemental information, is available at www.dteenergy.com/investors.

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

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.

segment that was classified as a discontinued operation on 12/31/2012.
