Pay vs Performance Disclosure |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table |  |  | Pay versus Performance It is the philosophy of CMS and Consumers to provide executive compensation tied to performance. Pursuant to Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the Pay Versus Performance Table (set forth below) is required to include “Compensation Actually Paid,” as calculated per SEC disclosure rules, to the Corporation’s principal executive officer (“PEO”) and the Corporation’s non-PEO NEOs, as noted below. “Compensation Actually Paid” represents a SEC required calculation of compensation that differs significantly from the Summary Compensation Table calculation of compensation, the NEO’s realized or earned compensation, as well as from the way in which the Compensation Committee views annual compensation decisions, as discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis. The amounts in the table below are calculated in accordance with SEC rules and do not represent amounts actually earned or realized by NEOs, including with respect to restricted stock awards which remain subject to forfeiture if the vesting conditions are not satisfied.

(1) | The PEO and NEOs for the applicable years were as follows:
• | 2024: Rochow served as the President and CEO of CMS and Consumers for the entirety of 2024 and the other NEOs of CMS and Consumers were: Hayes, Hofmeister, Johnson and Wells Jr.
• | 2023: Rochow served as the President and CEO of CMS and Consumers for the entirety of 2023 and the other NEOs of CMS and Consumers were: Hayes, Hofmeister, Johnson and Wells Jr.
• | 2022: Rochow served as the President and CEO of CMS and Consumers for the entirety of 2022 and the other NEOs of CMS and Consumers were: Hayes, Hofmeister, Johnson and Brian F. Rich.
• | 2021: Rochow served as the President and CEO of CMS and Consumers for the entirety of 2021 and the other NEOs of CMS and Consumers were: Hayes, Jean-Francois Brossoit, Johnson and Brian F. Rich.
• | 2020: Rochow assumed the role of the President and CEO of CMS and Consumers on December 1, 2020 and Patricia Poppe served as President and CEO of CMS and Consumers during 2020 through Poppe’s December 1, 2020 resignation. The other NEOs of CMS and Consumers for 2020 were: Hayes, Jean-Francois Brossoit, Catherine A. Hendrian and Brian F. Rich.
(2) | Amounts reported in this column represent (i) the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year in the case of Rochow and Poppe and (ii) the average of the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year for the NEOs of CMS and Consumers reported for the applicable year other than the PEO for such years. The amount reported for 2022 has been updated as compared to the amount reported in the Proxy Statement filed in connection with the 2024 Annual Meeting due to an inadvertent typographical error.
(3) | To calculate compensation actually paid, adjustments were made to the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year. A reconciliation of the adjustments for Rochow, Poppe and for the average of the other NEOs is set forth in the table following the footnotes to this table.
(4) | Pursuant to rules of the SEC, the comparison assumes $100 was invested on December 31, 2019. Historic stock price performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance. See the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for further information regarding how TSR is calculated for purposes of the long-term incentive program.
(5) | The TSR Peer Group is the same peer group utilized in CMS’ and Consumers’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and consists of utilities listed in the Standard & Poor’s 400 Utilities Index, an independently prepared index that consists of companies in the utilities industry.
(6) | As noted in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, for 2024, the Compensation Committee determined that adjusted EPS continues to be viewed as a core driver of CMS’ performance and stockholder value creation and, accordingly, was utilized as a component for both the Annual Incentive Plan awards and LTI Awards. Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents EPS adjusted to exclude gains or losses on asset sales which have been excluded from adjusted EPS or are greater than or equal to 2% of adjusted EPS; changes in accounting principles resulting from new or revised accounting standards not included in the budget; large restructuring and severance expenses greater than $5 million or equal to $0.01 of EPS; legal and settlement costs or gains related to previously sold assets; regulatory recovery for prior year changes; changes in legacy tax reform; changes in federal tax policy; 3rd party costs related to the Business Optimization initiative (greater or equal to $0.01 of EPS); and unrealized gains or losses, recognized in net income, from mark-to-market adjustments related to NorthStar Clean Energy’s interest expense. See Appendix A for a reconciliation of GAAP EPS to adjusted EPS.
(7) | 2021 net income includes the proceeds from the sale EnerBank, a one-time event excluded from adjusted EPS.
(8) | Effective December 1, 2020, Poppe voluntarily resigned from her position of President and CEO of CMS and Consumers. As a result, Poppe forfeited any outstanding long-term incentive awards, her annual incentive award and any unvested supplemental retirement awards.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return |  |  | Compensation Actually Paid Versus TSR The following chart illustrates the relationship of CMS’ five-year TSR to the compensation actually paid to the individuals serving as PEO during the applicable year, and the average for the other NEOs. The lower compensation actually paid amount for the PEOs in 2020 (Poppe and Rochow) is a consequence of the fact that (i) Rochow’s 2020 compensation reflected Rochow’s role at CMS and Consumers prior to his promotion to CEO in December 2020, and (ii) the compensation actually paid to Poppe during 2020 reflects the forfeiture of Poppe’s long-term incentive awards in connection with Poppe’s resignation.
* | PEO compensation for 2020 reflects the aggregated compensation of Poppe and Rochow.
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income |  |  | Compensation Actually Paid Versus Net Income Because a significant percentage of compensation is delivered in the form of equity awards with vesting tied to TSR, EPS growth and continued service, our executive compensation program is less impacted by fluctuations in net income. The following chart illustrates the relationship between net income and the compensation actually paid to the individuals serving as PEO during the applicable year and the average compensation actually paid for the other NEOs.
* | PEO compensation for 2020 reflects the aggregated compensation of Poppe and Rochow.
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure |  |  | Compensation Actually Paid Versus Adjusted EPS As discussed above, adjusted EPS is viewed as a core driver of CMS’ performance and stockholder valuation creation and, accordingly, was used as a component in both the Annual Incentive and LTI awards. Because the compensation actually paid, as calculated per SEC disclosure rules, is most greatly impacted by stock price fluctuations, the impact of year-over-year fluctuations in adjusted EPS performance has less of an impact on compensation actually paid as compared to stock price performance. The compensation actually paid in 2020 and, in the case of Rochow, the change from 2020 to 2021, was also a result of the change in PEO role that occurred in December 2020 and the compensation adjustments and forfeitures relating to such change.
* | PEO compensation for 2020 reflects the aggregated compensation of Poppe and Rochow.
Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group |  |  | TSR: CMS versus Peer Group As shown below, based on a 2019 investment, CMS’ five-year cumulative TSR for the period of 2020-2024 consistently exceeded the five-year cumulative TSR for companies included in the S&P 400 Utilities Index. |  |  |  |
Tabular List, Table |  |  | Performance Measures Used to Link Performance and Compensation Actually Paid to the NEOs The following is a list of financial performance measures, which in the Corporation’s assessment represent the most important financial performance measures used by the Corporation to link compensation actually paid to the NEOs for 2024. Please see the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for further information regarding how each of these measures is calculated and how they are used in the Corporation’s executive compensation program, including the calculation of GAAP EPS to adjusted EPS for purposes of the Annual Incentive Plan awards and the LTI program. Our 2024 executive compensation program utilized financial metrics and supplemented those metrics in the Annual Incentive Plan with additional metrics tied to our operational performance, with goals relating to employee safety, culture, customer experience, electric reliability, waste elimination from cost reductions and methane emission reductions.

Non-GAAP Measure Description |  |  |
(6) | As noted in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, for 2024, the Compensation Committee determined that adjusted EPS continues to be viewed as a core driver of CMS’ performance and stockholder value creation and, accordingly, was utilized as a component for both the Annual Incentive Plan awards and LTI Awards. Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents EPS adjusted to exclude gains or losses on asset sales which have been excluded from adjusted EPS or are greater than or equal to 2% of adjusted EPS; changes in accounting principles resulting from new or revised accounting standards not included in the budget; large restructuring and severance expenses greater than $5 million or equal to $0.01 of EPS; legal and settlement costs or gains related to previously sold assets; regulatory recovery for prior year changes; changes in legacy tax reform; changes in federal tax policy; 3rd party costs related to the Business Optimization initiative (greater or equal to $0.01 of EPS); and unrealized gains or losses, recognized in net income, from mark-to-market adjustments related to NorthStar Clean Energy’s interest expense. See Appendix A for a reconciliation of GAAP EPS to adjusted EPS.
