Exhibit 99.2

FOCUSED ON WORLD CLASS PERFORMANCE Year - End 2019 Results and Outlook January 30, 2020

This presentation is made as of the date hereof and contains “forward - looking statements” as defined in Rule 3b - 6 of the Securit ies 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 uncert ainties. 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 Cons umers Energy’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Forward - looking statements should be read in conjunction with “FORWARD - LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFOR MATION” 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 Co nsumers Energy file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. CMS Energy’s and Consumers Energy’s “FORWARD - LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION” a nd “RISK FACTORS” sections are incorporated herein by reference and discuss important factors that could cause CMS Energy’s and Consum ers 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 (GAAP) and adjusted (non - GAAP) basis and provides forward - lo oking guidance on an adjusted basis. During an oral presentation, references to “earnings” are on an adjusted basis. All references to net income refer to ne t income available to common stockholders and references to earnings per share are on a diluted basis. Adjustments could include items such as discontinue d o perations, 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. Int ernally, the company uses adjusted earnings to measure and assess performance. Because the company is not able to estimate the impact of specific line it ems, which have the potential to significantly impact, favorably or unfavorably, the company's reported earnings in future periods, the company is not providi ng reported earnings guidance nor is it providing a reconciliation for the comparable future period earnings. The adjusted earnings should be considered supplemental i nformation to assist in understanding our business results, rather than as a substitute for the reported earnings. Similarly, management views the ra tio 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 ra tio for external communications with analysts and investors. Because the company does not establish its target FFO/Average Debt ratio based on a specific tar get numerator and target denominator, the company is unable to provide a reconciliation to a comparable GAAP financial measure for future periods. Investors and others should note that CMS Energy routinely posts important information on its website and considers the Inves tor Relations section, www.cmsenergy.com/investor - relations , a channel of distribution. 2
