"The end of the second quarter marked an important milestone in PNM's clean energy transition as we retired Unit 1 of the San Juan Generating Station after powering New Mexico for decades," said Pat Vincent-Collawn, PNM Resources chairman and CEO. "We sincerely appreciate the teams involved in the preparation and transition of this key resource during a record-breaking peak season at PNM."

"Our strong second quarter financial performance was driven by robust load growth and weather at TNMP alongside the constructive rate environment in Texas encouraging continued investment to support this increased demand," added Vincent-Collawn. "Our teams across Texas and New Mexico continue to prioritize the safety, reliability and resiliency of our infrastructure to support the growing needs of our customers."

Net changes to GAAP and ongoing earnings in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021 include:

  • PNM: Increased transmission margins due to higher system demand and new customers, including the Western Spirit transmission contract, were more than offset by realized losses in decommissioning and reclamation trusts, O&M increases, planned plant outage costs, and higher depreciation and property tax expense associated with new capital investments.
  • TNMP: Increased usage due to load growth and higher temperatures and rate recovery through Transmission Cost of Service (TCOS) and Distribution Cost of Service (DCOS) increases were partially offset by higher depreciation and property tax expense associated with new capital investments.
  • Corporate and Other: Higher interest rates on variable rate debt increased losses

In addition, GAAP earnings decreased in the second quarter of 2022 resulting from $39.0 million in net unrealized losses on investment securities for decommissioning and reclamation trusts compared to $10.4 million in net unrealized gains in the second quarter of 2021.

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 1-4.
