In accordance with Rule 12‑04 of Regulation S‑X, these parent-only financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements, and therefore these parent-only financial statements and other information included should be read in conjunction with CMS Energy’s audited consolidated financial statements contained within Item 8.

Guarantees CMS Energy has issued guarantees with a maximum potential obligation of $1.1 billion on behalf of some of its wholly owned subsidiaries and related parties.
