Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
DTE Energy Company (DTE Energy) is furnishing the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with its
earnings release issued November 4, 2011, announcing financial results for the quarter ended
September 30, 2011. Copies of the earnings release and the financial information distributed for

incorporated herein by reference. In its earnings release and the slide presentation discussed
below, DTE Energy narrowed its 2011 operating earnings per share guidance to $3.50-$3.70 per share.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
DTE Energy is furnishing the SEC with its slide presentation issued November 4, 2011. A copy of the
slide presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated herein by reference.
In its earnings release, slide presentation and this filing, DTE Energy discusses 2011 operating
earnings guidance. It is likely that certain items that impact the company’s 2011 reported results
will be excluded from operating results. Reconciliations to the comparable 2011 reported earnings
guidance are not provided because it is not possible to provide a reliable forecast of specific
line items. These items may fluctuate significantly from period to period and may have a
significant impact on reported earnings.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on
Form 8-K, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 and 99.3, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes
of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the
liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under
