PNM Resources (NYSE: PNM) today released its 2023 first quarter
results. In addition, management affirmed its 2023 consolidated
ongoing earnings guidance of $2.65 to
$2.75 per diluted share.
"The growth we experienced in the first quarter continues to
underscore the need for additional investments to support our
customers across New Mexico and
Texas," said Pat Vincent-Collawn, PNM Resources Chairman and
CEO. "As we prepare to bring on more than 500 megawatts of new
carbon-free energy resources this year, including New Mexico's first utility-scale storage
facility, we highlight the need to move forward and collaborate on
solutions for tomorrow's energy needs.
UPDATE ON MERGER
On April 12, 2023, PNM Resources
and AVANGRID announced an amendment and extension of their merger
agreement through July 20, 2023. The
companies' appeal of the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission's
(NMPRC) December 2021 merger
stipulation denial remains pending with the New Mexico Supreme
Court (Court). On March 8, 2023, the
companies and the NMPRC filed a joint request to the Court for the
dismissal of the merger appeal and remand to the NMPRC. There is no
statutory deadline for the Court to respond to the motion or the
appeal.

Net changes to GAAP and ongoing earnings in the first quarter of
2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022 include:
- PNM: Increased transmission margins due to higher market power
prices and system demand, lower costs associated with generation
portfolio changes, and increased usage due to load growth were
partially offset by depreciation, property tax and interest expense
associated with new capital investments, higher planned O&M and
larger realized losses in decommissioning and reclamation
trusts.
- TNMP: Rate recovery through Transmission Cost of Service (TCOS)
and Distribution Cost Recovery Factor (DCRF) increases was more
than offset by depreciation, property tax and interest expense
associated with new capital investments and higher planned O&M
expenses. Demand-based load growth was partially offset by lower
customer usage due to milder winter temperatures.
- Corporate and Other: Higher interest rates on variable rate
debt increased losses, net of hedges.
In addition, GAAP earnings increased in the first quarter of
2023 from net unrealized gains on investment securities for
decommissioning and reclamation trusts compared to net unrealized
losses in the first quarter of 2022.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995
Statements made in this news release for
PNM Resources, Inc. ("PNMR"), Public Service Company of
New Mexico ("PNM"), or Texas-New
Mexico Power Company ("TNMP") (collectively, the "Company") that
relate to future events or expectations, projections, estimates,
intentions, goals, targets, and strategies, including the unaudited
financial results and earnings guidance, are made pursuant to the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are
cautioned that all forward-looking statements are based upon
current expectations and estimates and apply only as of the date of
this report. PNMR, PNM, and TNMP assume no obligation to update
this information. Because actual results may differ materially from
those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements,
PNMR, PNM, and TNMP caution readers not to place undue reliance on
these statements. PNMR's, PNM's, and TNMP's business, financial
condition, cash flow, and operating results are influenced by many
factors, which are often beyond their control, that can cause
actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements. Additionally, there are risks and
uncertainties in connection with the proposed acquisition of us by
AVANGRID which may adversely affect our business, future
opportunities, employees and common stock, including without
limitation, (i) the expected timing and likelihood of completion of
the pending Merger, including the timing, receipt and terms and
conditions of any remaining required governmental and regulatory
approvals of the pending Merger that could reduce anticipated
benefits or cause the parties to abandon the transaction, (ii) the
occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could
give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, (iii) the
risk that the parties may not be able to satisfy the conditions to
the proposed Merger in a timely manner or at all, and (iv) the risk
that the proposed transaction could have an adverse effect on the
ability of PNMR to retain and hire key personnel and maintain
relationships with its customers and suppliers, and on its
operating results and businesses generally. For a discussion of
risk factors and other important factors affecting forward-looking
statements, please see the Company's Form 10-K, Form 10-Q filings
and the information included in the Company's Forms 8-K with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, which factors are specifically
incorporated by reference herein.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
GAAP refers to generally
accepted accounting principles in the U.S. Ongoing earnings is a
non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of net
unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on economic hedges, the
net change in unrealized gains and losses on investment securities,
pension expense related to previously disposed of gas distribution
business, and certain non-recurring, infrequent, and other items
that are not indicative of fundamental changes in the earnings
capacity of the Company's operations. The Company uses ongoing
earnings and ongoing earnings per diluted share to evaluate the
operations of the Company and to establish goals, including those
used for certain aspects of incentive compensation, for management
and employees. While the Company believes these financial measures
are appropriate and useful for investors, they are not measures
presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not intend for
these measures, or any piece of these measures, to represent any
financial measure as defined by GAAP. Furthermore, the Company's
calculations of these measures as presented may or may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The Company uses ongoing earnings guidance to provide investors
with management's expectations of ongoing financial performance
over the period presented. While the Company believes ongoing
earnings guidance is an appropriate measure, it is not a measure
presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not intend for
ongoing earnings guidance to represent an expectation of net
earnings as defined by GAAP. Since the future differences between
GAAP and ongoing earnings are frequently outside the control of the
Company, management is generally not able to estimate the impact of
the reconciling items between forecasted GAAP net earnings and
ongoing earnings guidance, nor their probable impact on GAAP net
earnings without unreasonable effort, therefore, management is
generally not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for
ongoing earnings guidance. Reconciliations between GAAP and ongoing
earnings are contained in schedules 1-2.
