If the Michigan economy becomes sluggish or declines, Consumers could experience reduced demand for electricity or natural gas that could result in decreased earnings and cash flow.
A reduction or withdrawal of one or more of its credit ratings could have a material adverse impact on CMS Energys or Consumers ability to access capital on acceptable terms and maintain commodity lines of credit, could increase its cost of borrowing, and could cause CMS Energy or Consumers to reduce capital expenditures.
These events could result in severe damage to CMS Energys and Consumers assets beyond what could be recovered through insurance policies (which are subject to deductibles and limits), could require CMS Energy and Consumers to incur significant upfront costs, and could severely disrupt operations, resulting in loss of service to customers.
The calculation of the liabilities and associated expenses requires the expertise of actuaries, and requires many assumptions, including: life expectancies discount rates expected long-term rate of return on plan assets rate of compensation increases expected health care costs A change in these assumptions could change significantly CMS Energys and Consumers recorded liabilities and associated expenses.
