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, 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” sections of CMS Energy’s and Consumers Energy’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31 and as updated in subsequent 10-Qs. 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 financial results on both a reported (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) and adjusted (non?GAAP) 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. Certain of these items have the potential to impact, favorably or unfavorably, the company’s reported earnings in 2013. The company is not able to estimate the impact of these matters and is not providing reported earnings guidance.

ELECTRIC RATE CASE U-17087*

On September 19, 2012, Consumers Energy filed an application with the Michigan Public Service Commission seeking an

increase in its electric generation and distribution rates based on a 2013 test year. The filing also seeks approval of several rate

adjustment mechanisms, including an investment recovery mechanism that would allow recovery in 2014 of an additional $82

million for incremental 2014 investment, subject to reconciliation. On February 21, 2013, the MPSC Staff filed their position,

recommending a rate increase of $74 million with an ROE of 10.1%. The variance between Consumers filed position and the

MPSC Staff’s position is detailed below. On February 27, the Company filed testimony that it intends to self-implement a $110

million rate increase on and after March 19, 2013 under the provisions of 2008 PA 286.

GAS RATE CASE U-17197

On February 1, 2013, Consumers Energy filed an application with the Michigan Public Service Commission seeking an increase in its gas

delivery and transportation rates based on a 12 months ending June 2014 test year. The request seeks authority to recover new investment in

system reliability, regulatory compliance and technology enhancements. Anticipated lower gas commodity prices during the test year period

will reduce customer bills by approximately $150 million, more than offsetting the requested increase for all customers that purchase their

gas from Consumers Energy. The filing also seeks approval of several rate adjustment mechanisms, including an investment recovery

mechanism that would allow recovery in 2015 of an additional $70 million for incremental 2014 and 2015 investments, subject to

reconciliation. If approved, the $49 million revenue deficiency would add about 3.4% to the typical residential customer’s average monthly

bill. Because the rates approved in Case No. U-16855 were the result of a settlement agreement, specific cost of service items were not

identified in that rate order. Therefore, the items identified on Lines 1-5 below are comparisons to amounts which the Company assumed

were reflected in the U-16855 final order.

Item $ Millions Remarks

1. Rate Base $59 New investment gas infrastructure: $37

Depreciation: $12
