This presentation is made as of the date hereof and contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in Rule 3b-6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Rule 175 of the Securities Act of 1933, and relevant legal decisions. The forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. 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. Forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with “FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND
INFORMATION” and “RISK FACTORS” sections of CMS Energy’s and Consumers Energy’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. CMS Energy’s and Consumers Energy’s “FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION” and “RISK FACTORS” sections are incorporated herein by reference and discuss important factors that could cause CMS Energy’s and Consumers Energy’s results to differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. CMS Energy and Consumers Energy undertake no obligation to update any of the information presented herein to reflect facts, events or circumstances after the date hereof.
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 provides historical financial results on both a reported (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) and adjusted (non-GAAP) basis and provides forward-looking guidance on an adjusted basis. Management views adjusted earnings as a key measure of the company’s present operating financial performance, unaffected by discontinued operations, asset sales, impairments, regulatory items from prior years, or other items. These items have the potential to impact, favorably or unfavorably, the company’s reported earnings in future periods. Because the company is not able to estimate the impact of these matters, the company is not providing a reconciliation to the comparable future period reported earnings.

• Reliability
• Top quartile performance (SAIFI)
• Top half performance (SAIDI)
• Affordability
• Residential bills below U.S. average
• Competitive industrial rates
• Environmental Protection(from the right)
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder

The Governor on Retail Open Access. . . .
Question: “You seem to agree with utilities’ argument on choice. Does that mean you will eliminate shopping altogether or keep the 10% cap in place?”
“Choice creates a lot of challenges and problems so I wouldn’t jump to say increasing choice is the answer. I’m concerned about people bouncing back and forth depending on what’s going on with rates, essentially trying to arbitrage markets.”
Governor Rick Snyder
The Jackson City Council voted unanimously to pass a resolution opposing House Bill 5184.
. . . . choice is not the solution to industrial competitiveness.
