Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On December 12, 2016, DTE Energy will post a summary and discussion of the Michigan Public Service Commission’s (MPSC) order in DTE Gas Company's (DTE Gas) rate case to the DTE Energy website at www.dteenergy.com. In the paragraph of the summary under the heading “Future Outlook for DTE Energy”, which paragraph is furnished as part of Exhibit 99.1 hereto, DTE Energy reaffirms its 2017 early outlook operating earnings guidance range of $5.15-$5.46 per share. DTE Gas is a wholly-owned subsidiary of DTE Energy.
In this summary and this filing, DTE Energy discusses 2017 operating earnings guidance. It is likely that certain items that impact the DTE Energy's 2017 reported results will be excluded from operating results. Reconciliations to the comparable 2017 reported earnings guidance are 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.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the paragraph under the heading “Future Outlook for DTE Energy” of Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth in such a filing.
