Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On September 14, 2010, David Meador DTE Energy Company (“DTE Energy”) Executive Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer, and Steven Kurmas, The Detroit Edison Company (“Detroit Edison”) President
and Chief Operating Officer, will meet with groups of investors and give a business presentation in
New York City. On September 15, 2010, Mr. Meador and Mr. Kurmas will provide a business update at
the Barclays Capital CEO Energy/Power Conference in New York City. The 35-minute presentation is
scheduled to start at 11:05 a.m. EDT. The presentation from both meetings is attached as Exhibit
99.1 hereto and will be posted on the DTE Energy website at www.dteenergy.com. The conference
audio will be available via webcast through a link on DTE Energy’s website at www.dteenergy.com.
The webcast replay will be available and archived on the website. In those meetings and in that
presentation, DTE Energy reaffirms its 2010 operating earnings per share guidance of $3.45-$3.80
per share.
In its business presentation and this filing, DTE Energy discusses 2010 operating earnings
guidance. It is likely that certain items that impact the company’s 2010 reported results will be
excluded from operating results. Reconciliations to the comparable 2010 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.
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 and to report to the Board of
Directors.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on
Form 8-K, including 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.
