JACKSON,
Mich., July 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CMS Energy
announced today reported earnings per share of $0.67 for the second quarter of 2023, compared to
$0.50 per share for the same quarter
in 2022. The company's adjusted earnings per share for the second
quarter of 2023 were $0.75, compared
to $0.53 per share for the same
quarter in 2022. For the first six months of the year, the
company reported $1.36 per share
compared to $1.71 per share for the
same timeframe in 2022. On an adjusted earnings per share basis
year to date, the company reported $1.45 per share in 2023, compared to $1.73 per share in 2022.
CMS Energy reaffirmed its 2023 adjusted earnings guidance of
$3.06 to $3.12* per share (*See below for important
information about non-GAAP measures) and reaffirmed long-term
adjusted EPS growth of 6 to 8 percent, with continued confidence
toward the high end of the adjusted EPS growth range.
"CMS Energy has continued to deliver on our triple bottom line
of people, planet, and prosperity. In addition to our strong
financial performance this quarter, we closed our Karn coal plants,
which supports our net zero carbon goal by 2040, while protecting
the environment for Michigan
residents. We also recently purchased the Covert natural gas plant
which is adding reliable and affordable energy to meet our
customers' needs," said Garrick
Rochow, President and CEO of CMS Energy and Consumers
Energy.
CMS Energy (NYSE: CMS) is a Michigan-based energy provider featuring
Consumers Energy as its primary business. It also owns and operates
independent power generation businesses.
CMS Energy will hold a webcast to discuss its 2023 second
quarter results and provide a business and financial outlook on
Thursday, July 27 at 8:30 a.m. (EDT). To participate in the webcast,
go to CMS Energy's homepage (cmsenergy.com) and select "Events and
Presentations."
Important information for investors about non-GAAP measures
and other disclosures.
This news release contains non-Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (non-GAAP) measures, such as adjusted earnings. All
references to net income refer to net income available to common
stockholders and references to earnings per share are on a diluted
basis. Adjustments could include items such as discontinued
operations, asset sales, impairments, restructuring costs, business
optimization initiative, changes in accounting principles,
voluntary separation program, changes in federal tax policy,
regulatory items from prior years, unrealized gains or losses from
mark-to-market adjustments recognized in net
income related to NorthStar Clean Energy's interest expense,
or other items. 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. 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. The
company's adjusted earnings should be considered supplemental
information to assist in understanding our business results, rather
than as a substitute for the reported earnings.
This news release contains "forward-looking statements." The
forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
that could cause CMS Energy's and Consumers Energy's results to
differ materially. All forward-looking statements should be
considered in the context of the risk and other factors detailed
from time to time in CMS Energy's and Consumers Energy's Securities
and Exchange Commission filings.
Investors and others should note that CMS Energy routinely posts
important information on its website and considers the Investor
Relations section, www.cmsenergy.com/investor-relations, a channel
of distribution.
