1 Investor Meetings November 2018 FOCUSED ON WORLD CLASS PERFORMANCE

2 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 most recent Form 10-K and as updated in reports CMS Energy and Consumers Energy file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 CMS Energy provides historical financial results on both a reported (GAAP) and adjusted (non-gaap) basis and provides forward-looking guidance on an adjusted basis. During an oral presentation, references to earnings are on an adjusted basis. All references to earnings per share are on a diluted basis. Adjustments could include items such as discontinued operations, asset sales, impairments, restructuring costs, regulatory items from prior years, 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 adjusted earnings should be considered supplemental information to assist in understanding our business results, rather than as a substitute for the reported earnings. References to earnings guidance refer to such guidance as provided by the company on October 25, Similarly, management views the ratio of Funds From Operations (FFO)/Average Debt as a key measure of the company s operating financial performance and its financial position, and uses the ratio for external communications with analysts and investors. Because the company does not establish its target FFO/Average Debt ratio based on a specific target numerator and target denominator, the company is unable to provide a reconciliation to a comparable GAAP financial measure for future periods. Management also views adjusted operating and maintenance (O&M) expenses as an important measure of operating efficiency. This measure excludes expenses related to energy efficiency because they have no impact on net income, as well as certain historical amounts that reduce comparability to the current period. Other adjustments could include restructuring costs and regulatory items from prior years. Because the company is not able to estimate the impact of specific line items that have the potential to significantly impact reported maintenance and other operating expenses, the company is not providing a reconciliation for the comparable future period expenses. Investors and others should note that CMS Energy routinely posts important information on its website and considers the Investor Relations section, a channel of distribution. 2

Internally, the Company uses adjusted earnings to measure and assess performance. Adjustments could include items such as discontinued operations, asset sales, impairments, restructuring costs, regulatory items from prior years, or other items detailed in these summary financial statements. Adjusted earnings should be considered supplemental information to assist in understanding our business results, rather than as a substitute for reported earnings. 47
