PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

Below is information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid (“CAP”) to our Named Executive Officers and our financial performance, as prepared in accordance with SEC rules. CAP is an amount calculated using methodology prescribed by SEC rules and differs from the compensation actually received by our Named Executive Officers and the compensation decisions described in the CD&A section above. For purposes of the Peer Group Total Shareholder Return column of the Pay Versus Performance Table, we have used the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index and Alerian Midstream Energy Index (“AMNA Index”), which we also use for purposes of the Stock Performance Graph in our annual report on Form 10-K.

The following table sets forth the adjustments (i.e., amounts deducted and added) made to the PEO’s Summary Compensation Table Total to determine the CAP to the PEO. The valuation methodology (including assumptions) used to determine the fair value of restricted stock unit awards for purposes of determining the CAP to the Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) is the same as set forth in footnote 2 to the Summary Compensation Table. For performance share awards, the grant date fair value of awards used for Summary Compensation Table calculations assumes target performance. To determine the year-end fair values used in the CAP calculations, we have updated the performance expectations to reflect the latest performance estimates for unvested and outstanding awards at each fiscal year end date. We have also recalculated the fair value of the Total Shareholder Return component of the performance share awards at each fiscal year end date. Furthermore, because the Qualified Plan, the SRP and the ESRP are plans controlled by DTE Energy for which the Company does not have access to or insight into the relevant compensation data, the CAP to the PEO does not include any adjustment to the actuarial present value of the PEO’s accumulated benefits under the Qualified Plan, the SRP and the ESRP, as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table. There were no DT Midstream stock awards granted prior to 2021 that vested in 2021.

	Years			Summary Compensation Table (SCT) Total for PEO			Less Reported SCT Stock Award Value			Plus 12/31/23 Fair Value (FV) of Awards Granted in Fiscal Year			Plus Change in FV of Awards Granted Prior to 2023, Unvested as of 12/31/23			Plus Change in FV of Awards Granted prior to 2023 that Vested in Fiscal Year			Compensation Actually Paid to PEO
	2023			$7,971,250			($5,414,536)			$4,958,913			($480,832)			($396,427)			$6,638,368

The amounts shown have been updated from those reported in the proxy statement filed for our annual meeting of stockholders held in 2023 to correct an administrative error. Both amounts were inadvertently understated by $3,000 in the annual proxy filed for our annual meeting of stockholders held in 2023.

For 2023, adjusted EBITDA reflected Company operating earnings before expenses for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses from financing activities and includes the proportional share of net income (excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) from our equity method investees and excludes the proportional share of depreciation and amortization attributable to minority interests in our consolidated subsidiaries.

For 2022 and 2021, adjusted EBITDA reflected Company operating earnings before expenses for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses from financing activities and includes the proportional share of net income (excluding taxes, depreciation and amortization from our equity method investees) and excludes the proportional share of depreciation and amortization attributable to minority interests in our consolidated subsidiaries. If Adjusted EBITDA for 2022 and 2021 was calculated in the same manner as 2023, the results would have been $841 million and $778 million for 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The following table sets forth the calculation of the average CAP to non-PEO Named Executive Officers and the adjustments (i.e., amounts deducted and added) made to the Summary Compensation Table Total of the relevant NEOs to determine the average CAP to the relevant Named Executive Officers. The valuation methodology (including assumptions) used to determine the fair value of equity awards for purposes of determining the average CAP to the Named Executive Officers is the same as set forth in footnote 2 to the Summary Compensation Table. For performance share awards, the grant date fair value of awards used for Summary Compensation Table calculations assumes target performance.

For purposes of our Peer Group Total Shareholder Return column of the Pay Versus Performance Table, we have used the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (first number) and AMNA Index (second number), which we also use for purposes of the Stock Performance Graph in our annual report on Form 10-K. We believe the AMNA Index is meaningful because it is an independent, objective view of the performance of similarly sized midstream energy companies. The Total Shareholder Return values are measured from July 1, 2021, the date that DT Midstream became an independent, publicly traded company.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return

Descriptions of Pay Versus Performance Relationships

The following graphs show the relationship between the CAP to our PEO and the average of the CAP to our other Named Executive Officers (other than our PEO) to our total shareholder return, the total shareholder return of our peer groups, net income and adjusted EBITDA, each over the three fiscal years ending December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, as reported in the table above.

For purposes of our Peer Group Total Shareholder Return, we have used both the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index and AMNA Index. We use both indexes for purposes of the Stock Performance Graph in our annual report on Form 10-K. We believe the AMNA Index is meaningful because it is an independent, objective view of the performance of similarly sized midstream energy companies. The Total Shareholder Return values are measured from July 1, 2021, the date that DT Midstream became an independent, publicly traded company.
