Growing Forward Deutsche Bank Conference May 29, 2008 Thomas J. Webb Executive Vice President and CFO

 


 

()
This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in Rule 3b-6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Rule 175 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and relevant legal decisions. The forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. They should be read in conjunction with “FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION” and “RISK FACTORS” each found in the MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS sections of CMS Energy’s Form 10-K and Consumers Energy’s Form 10-K each for the Year Ended December 31, 2007 and as updated in CMS Energy’s and Consumers Energy’s Forms 10-Q for the Quarter ended March 31, 2008. These sections discuss important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. The presentation also includes non-GAAP measures when describing CMS Energy’s results of operations and financial performance. A reconciliation of each of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the appendix and posted on our website at www.cmsenergy.com. CMS Energy expects 2008 reported earnings to be about the same as adjusted earnings. Reported earnings could vary because of gains or charges relating to previously sold assets and business operations or other factors. CMS Energy is not providing reported earnings guidance reconciliation because of the uncertainties associated with those factors. 1

SUMMARY — ELECTRIC RATE CASE No. U-15245*
On March 31, 2008 the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) filed his Proposal for Decision (PFD) in Consumers Energy’s request for final electric rate relief and recovery of Zeeland plant costs. The ALJ’s recommended increase is $8 million more than the MPSC staff’s recommendation. The ALJ recommended an ROE of 10.42%, which is lower than both the Company and Staff positions. The PFD states that the Commission should make final determination related to $127 million in Palisades decommissioning proceeds. The ALJ supports the Company’s rate design and cost allocation proposals, including elimination of rate skewing over 5 years. Details comparing the ALJ’s position with both the Company and MPSC Staff positions are provided below.

GAS RATE CASE U-15506*
On February 15, 2008, Consumers Energy filed an application with the Michigan Public Service Commission seeking an increase in its gas delivery and transportation rates based on a 2009 test year. The request seeks authority to implement a revenue decoupling mechanism for the residential rate class, which enables the Company to recover appropriate operating and maintenance expenses to ensure continued reliable service to customers. The decoupling mechanism also removes the impact of the energy efficiency and conservation programs on revenues. The proposed capital structure includes an 11.00% authorized return on equity. If approved, the request would add about $3.00 per month, or about 3.5%, to the typical residential customer’s average monthly bill. The $91 million revenue deficiency is detailed below.
