Please note the information presented is deemed representative at the time of its original release. Changes in historical information may occur due to adjustments in accounting and reporting standards & procedures.

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.

Employment Practices

CMS Energy’s strategic talent sourcing strategy focuses on current and future workforce issues crucial to building and sustaining Michigan’s energy industry. It provides training resources and supports career pathway awareness for students. Each year, the talent pipeline team identifies key external organizations (e.g., colleges, universities, human service agencies, workforce development entities) that advance the mission or ensure that every future and current employee has an equitable opportunity to succeed.

The Strategic Partnership Index is a composite index that helps track the evolution of key partnerships and ensures focus on achieving the specific strategic goal represented for each organization. Relationships are evaluated based on these steps: no relationship exists, new contact established, shared vision and goals established, pilot program identified, program launched, first program cycle complete, evaluation of program and partnership evaluated, standard work created, program continues. Each year, 10 to 15 new partners are identified for the SPI. One example, Consumers Energy Summer Energy Academies for youth was hosted in partnership with Michigan Works in 2022 in highly diverse communities of Pontiac, Flint, Jackson and Grand Rapids.

Our apprenticeship and training programs also provide skills needed to fill vital roles in the energy industry.

The Consumers Energy Foundation supports programs that provide world-class educational resources to Michigan residents. The foundation supports early childhood and K-12 education programs, college readiness programs, STEM education programs and workforce readiness programs. In 2021, the Foundation directed $4.3 million to nonprofits providing world-class educational resources so all Michigan residents can thrive.

Diversity Equity and Inclusion

Employment Practices

CMS Energy advances diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) in the workplace through employee resource groups (ERG), training and encouraging conversations about DE&I. In 2022, we launched, Interfaith, our latest ERG, which brings together people of all faiths, including those with no religious affiliation.

In 2022, we launched our DE&I movement stands to monitor the success of our strategy to build and sustain a world-class inclusive workforce. Our stands support our strategy, are aligned with our Executive DE&I Council and represent multi-year, measurable aspirations in the areas of culture, talent, philanthropy and supplier diversity.

We also embed DE&I into volunteerism, shaping political activity, communications, philanthropy, customer interactions and community engagement, including our support of women-owned business and veterans seeking positions in the energy industry.

In 2021, we launched a from-the-top learning model, which will train all employees on unconscious bias.

We doubled our Inclusion Champion program in January 2021. The program helps bring core DEI concepts to all organizational levels. The individual roles advance belonging by leading grassroots communication efforts, sharing opportunities for involvement, identifying and addressing gaps, solving problems and providing continuous learning and development. One goal is addressing the gap between our unionized workforce and non-union workforce on our annual DE&I Index, focused on belonging.

We’re also maturing our existing diverse supplier program with a five-year goal to double our spend with diverse suppliers by the end of 2023. It includes expanding the network, validating certification of diverse vendors and Enhanced Tier II reporting for suppliers of our suppliers.
