Important information for investors about non-GAAP measures
and other disclosures.
*This news release contains non-Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (non-GAAP) measures, such as adjusted earnings. All
references to net income refer to net income available to common
stockholders and references to earnings per share are on a diluted
basis. Adjustments could include items such as discontinued
operations, asset sales, impairments, restructuring costs, changes
in accounting principles, changes in federal tax policy, regulatory
items from prior years, unrealized gains or losses from
mark-to-market adjustments recognized in net income related to CMS
Enterprises' interest expense, or other items. Management views
adjusted earnings as a key measure of the company's present
operating financial performance and uses adjusted earnings for
external communications with analysts and investors. Internally,
the company uses adjusted earnings to measure and assess
performance. Because the company is not able to estimate the impact
of specific line items, which have the potential to significantly
impact, favorably or unfavorably, the company's reported earnings
in future periods, the company is not providing reported earnings
guidance nor is it providing a reconciliation for the comparable
future period earnings. The company's adjusted earnings should be
considered supplemental information to assist in understanding our
business results, rather than as a substitute for the reported
earnings.
This news release contains "forward-looking statements." The
forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
that could cause CMS Energy's and Consumers Energy's results to
differ materially. All forward-looking statements should be
considered in the context of the risk and other factors detailed
from time to time in CMS Energy's and Consumers Energy's Securities
and Exchange Commission filings.
Investors and others should note that CMS Energy routinely posts
important information on its website and considers the Investor
Relations section, www.cmsenergy.com/investor-relations, a channel
of distribution.

Management views
adjusted (non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) earnings as
a key measure of the Company's present operating financial
performance and uses adjusted earnings for external communications
with analysts and investors. Internally, the Company uses
adjusted earnings to measure and assess performance.
Adjustments could include items such as discontinued operations,
asset sales, impairments, restructuring costs, changes in
accounting principles, changes in federal tax policy, regulatory
items from prior years, unrealized gains or losses from
mark-to-market adjustments recognized in net income related to CMS
Enterprises' interest expense, or other items. The adjusted
earnings should be considered supplemental information to assist in
understanding our business results, rather than as a substitute for
reported earnings.
