Non-GAAP Information

In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with GAAP, CMS may also disclose certain non-GAAP and pro forma non-GAAP results of operations, including net income, earnings per share, and operating income that make certain adjustments or exclude certain charges and gains that are outlined in the schedules included in this website. CMS provides historical financial results on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. 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. Adjustments could include items such as discontinued operations, asset sales, impairments, restructuring costs, regulatory items from prior years, or other items. 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.

CMS and Virtua also take no responsibility for third party pricing data provided for informational purposes and certain ratio results formulated from the provided third party pricing data. The non-GAAP information is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to non-GAAP information used by other companies. The non-GAAP information should be considered supplemental information to assist in fully understanding our business results, rather than as a substitute for the reported earnings.

A reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included as a separate link and also posted on the CMS website at www.cmsenergy.com.

Consumers Energy Pipeline Inspections Part of Robust Program Designed to Enhance Safety and Reliability

Jul 28, 2015

JACKSON, Mich., July 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers Energy is inspecting nearly 300 miles of natural gas pipeline this year to proactively seek and repair imperfections that could compromise the integrity of those lines and potentially affect their operation.

"Providing reliable, safe energy for our customers is our top priority," said Mary Palkovich, Consumers Energy's vice president of energy delivery. "Pipeline inspections are a key component of our comprehensive natural gas integrity program designed to keep customers and the general public safe."    

Palkovich noted that Consumers Energy will spend approximately $3 million in 2015 to perform 14 pipeline inspections throughout Lower Michigan, and has budgeted $27 million to address any issues found during the inspections.

Federal requirements dictate that natural gas transmission lines located in high population areas be inspected every seven years. Consumers Energy's program exceeds this requirement by inspecting additional pipeline miles that are not required by federal guidelines. The company is also audited by the Michigan Public Service Commission regarding its integrity plan and other related efforts.

The company uses specialized contractors to perform pipeline integrity tests and related analysis. Pipeline sections to be inspected are first cleaned internally using a specialized tool to remove dirt, oil, water and other debris. A second tool is used to identify restrictions inside the pipeline that could prevent the passage of inspection tools. Additional specialized tools are then inserted into the pipeline and travel through the pipe recording important data about its condition. The tests can identify dents, cracks, pipe defects, corrosion and other conditions within the pipeline. Depending on the data analysis, the pipeline may be repaired as needed.   

Consumers Energy operates more than 29,000 miles of transmission and distribution pipelines throughout Michigan's Lower Peninsula, serving more than 1.7 million natural gas customers, making it one of the largest gas distribution companies in the U.S.

Other aspects of the company's comprehensive pipeline integrity program include:

  • Using low-voltage electric current on pipes to reduce or eliminate corrosion.
  • Conducting annual ground and aerial surveys to check transmission pipelines.
  • Continuously monitoring a gas control computer system that alerts employees to any abnormal pressures or flows in the gas system, allowing the company to respond quickly to any emergency.
  • Responding to more than 350,000 MISS DIG/8-1-1 requests each year to mark gas pipelines so safe digging can proceed.

Consumers Energy, Michigan's largest utility, is the principal subsidiary of CMS Energy (NYSE: CMS), providing natural gas and electricity to 6.6 million of the state's 10 million residents in all 68 Lower Peninsula counties.
