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 required governmental and regulatory approvals of the pending Merger that could reduce anticipated benefits or cause the parties to abandon the transaction, (ii) the failure by AVANGRID to obtain the necessary financing arrangement set forth in commitment letter received in connection with the Merger, (iii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, (iv) the possibility that PNMR's shareholders may not approve the Merger Agreement, (v) the risk that the parties may not be able to satisfy the conditions to the proposed Merger in a timely manner or at all, (vi) risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed Merger, and (vii) the risk that the proposed transaction and its announcement 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.

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 (or ongoing diluted earnings per 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.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Nov. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- PNM, the wholly owned New Mexico utility subsidiary of PNM Resources (NYSE: PNM), today announces that it has reached an agreement to facilitate its exit from the Four Corners Power Plant in 2024, seven years earlier than planned.

PNM solidified its plans to fully exit coal under the agreement with the assignments of its rights under its coal supply agreement and the transfer of its 200-megawatt capacity ownership in the Four Corners Power Plant to the Navajo Transitional Energy Corporation (NTEC) at the end of 2024. The contracts were previously set to expire in 2031. Under the agreement, PNM will make a $75 million payment for relief from its obligations under the coal supply agreement with NTEC. This payment provides for significant cost savings and defines the path for PNM to achieve its plans to exit coal.

PNM plans to file with the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (NMPRC) in early 2021 for abandonment and securitization of unrecovered investment in the plant. The early exit plans call for significant cost benefits to customers and economic development funds to support the Navajo Nation. A separate, subsequent filing with the NMPRC is expected to be made with a proposal for replacement power following a competitive RFP process that balances environmental benefits, location, cost and reliability.

"This is a major step in our vision to create a clean and bright energy future and achieve our industry-leading goal of emissions-free energy by 2040," said Pat Vincent-Collawn, PNM Resources' chairman, president and CEO. "Our accelerated exit means earlier savings on PNM customer bills and timely financial support for the Navajo Nation while it continues to navigate its transition to a renewable energy economy. As we manage the challenges of today and focus on solutions for the clean energy future, we continue to do what's right for our customers and communities."

PNM currently has a 13 percent ownership stake in Units 4 and 5 of the 1,540-megawatt Four Corners Power Plant. These 200 megawatts comprise less than 10 percent of PNM's total energy portfolio and reflect the last of PNM's remaining coal-fired generation capacity. The retirement of the coal-fired San Juan Generating Station in mid-2022 was approved earlier this year.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Oct. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --

PNM Resources (NYSE: PNM) today released the company's 2020 third quarter results. In addition, management affirmed its recently increased 2020 consolidated ongoing earnings guidance of $2.23 to $2.31 per diluted share, targeting the midpoint of this range.

"Record temperatures in August contributed to higher third quarter earnings and increased expectations for the year," said Pat Vincent-Collawn, PNM Resources' chairman, president and CEO. "As our customers and communities face the prolonged impacts of this pandemic, our teams continue to look for new ways to provide support through customer financial assistance, non-profit grants and local donations. We remain committed to supporting and serving our customers and rebuilding our communities."

During today's earnings conference call, PNM Resources will highlight recent efforts and achievements aligned with the company's commitment to environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles, including increasing support to customers and communities during the ongoing pandemic and partnerships to further clean energy goals. The company recently announced a merger with AVANGRID (NYSE: AGR) that is strategically aligned in the transition to clean energy and commitment to ESG principles and will provide benefits to customers, communities, employees and shareholders.

SEGMENT REPORTING OF 2020 THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS
PNM – a vertically integrated electric utility in New Mexico with distribution, transmission and generation assets.

• PNM's GAAP and Ongoing earnings increased during the third quarter of 2020, reflecting increases in retail sales from the combined impacts of COVID-19 and record-high August temperatures. Increased residential usage was partially offset by decreased commercial usage due to business restrictions.
• GAAP earnings were also higher in 2020 as a result of net changes in unrealized gains and losses on investment securities for its decommissioning and reclamation trusts.
• Earnings were also higher in the third quarter of 2020 due to higher transmission margins and the refinancing of debt at lower interest rates. These increases were partially offset by expected increases in operational spending and the creation of COVID Customer Relief Programs to provide financial assistance towards past-due electric bills. Additional depreciation expense on new capital investments was mitigated by property tax reductions.

TNMP – an electric transmission and distribution utility in Texas.

• TNMP's GAAP and ongoing earnings increased in the third quarter of 2020 due to the implementation of Transmission Cost of Service (TCOS) rate increases implemented in September 2019 and March 2020 and a Distribution Cost of Service (DCOS) rate increase implemented in September 2020. These increases were offset by expected increases in operational spending and higher depreciation and property tax expenses resulting from additional capital investments.
• The combined impacts of COVID-19 and temperatures that were lower than the third quarter of 2019 were largely offsetting. COVID-19 restrictions continued to increase volumetric (primarily residential) load and reduce demand-based (commercial and industrial) load.

Corporate and Other – a segment that reflects the PNM Resources holding company and other subsidiaries.

• Corporate and Other's ongoing losses were reduced in the third quarter of 2020 due to higher tax benefits resulting from a higher effective tax rate.

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 (or ongoing diluted earnings per 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 1-5.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM), the wholly-owned New Mexico utility subsidiary of PNM Resources, Inc. (NYSE: PNM), today joins the partners of the PNM Solar Direct® program to celebrate the groundbreaking of the 50-megawatt solar facility supplying emissions-free energy to customers. The virtual groundbreaking provides a glimpse into the first utility-scale solar facility on Jicarilla Apache Nation land and the third largest solar facility on tribal lands in the United States.

The innovative program was designed to provide local governments, tribes, educational entities and large customers an opportunity to meet their clean energy goals. Under the program, these customers can take advantage of utility-scale solar pricing while avoiding the up-front investment needed to construct and maintain individual customer-sited facilities. PNM Resources continues to demonstrate a comprehensive, authentic approach to environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles. The collaboration with customers and utilization of third-party energy developers fully embraces this approach and provides the lowest-cost solution for achieving the transition to clean energy.

"Today's groundbreaking highlights New Mexico's solar energy potential and celebrates the remarkable partnership formed in pursuit of a common goal," said Pat Vincent-Collawn, PNM Resources' chairman, president and CEO. "As PNM takes another step forward toward its goal to deliver emissions-free energy, we commend the Jicarilla Apache Nation, Albuquerque Mayor Keller, Western New Mexico University and our other partners in the PNM Solar Direct program for building new economic opportunities and moving New Mexico forward as a clean energy leader. We are leading by example and demonstrating that we can do more by working together."  

The planned solar capacity adds to PNM's rapidly growing renewable portfolio and furthers the progress towards the industry-leading goal to achieve 100% emissions-free energy by 2040. PNM currently serves New Mexico customers with 658 megawatts of renewable capacity and has received regulatory approvals to grow this capacity to 2,015 megawatts by the end of 2022. The additional solar capacity will also help PNM meet the state renewable portfolio standards of 40% by 2025, 50% by 2030 and 80% by 2040.

Background:
PNM Resources (NYSE: PNM) is an energy holding company based in Albuquerque, N.M., with 2019 consolidated operating revenues of $1.5 billion. Through its regulated utilities, PNM and TNMP, PNM Resources has approximately 2,811 megawatts of generation capacity and provides electricity to approximately 790,000 homes and businesses in New Mexico and Texas.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Oct. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM), the wholly-owned regulated New Mexico subsidiary of PNM Resources (NYSE: PNM) is announcing additional efforts to support customers this year with the introduction of its COVID Customer Relief Programs. The programs are being funded with a $2.0 million company contribution to support income-qualified residential customers and small business customers who have been impacted by the financial challenges created by the pandemic and have past due electric bills.

Customer programs demonstrate the Company's support for customers and communities as part of its commitment to environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles. This support has become increasingly essential to customers in response to COVID-19. Other customer programs modified during the pandemic include implementation of more flexible customer payment plans, transition to online customer assistance programs and implementation of a virtual PNM Home Energy Checkup program, one of the many energy efficiency programs designed to reduce customers' electricity usage. PNM was the first utility in the Southwest to begin providing a virtual option for this type of program.

"People are the core of our business and our communities," said Pat Vincent-Collawn, PNM Resources' chairman, president and CEO. "Our teams moved quickly this year to ensure our long-standing customer programs remained available during the pandemic to help customers access financial assistance and manage their energy usage as temperatures and energy usage peaked. As pandemic impacts continue into fall, we look for additional ways to support customers during this unprecedented time and are creating new programs to help pay down summer electric bills. Our communities are stronger when our customers are supported."

The third quarter earnings call will highlight the Company's continued focus on ESG principles that benefit customers, communities and the environment.

PNM Resources is raising its 2020 ongoing earnings guidance to $2.23 - $2.31, targeting a midpoint of $2.27, compared to its previous range of $2.16 - $2.26.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Sept. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- PNM Resources (NYSE: PNM) is building upon its industry-leading ESG goal for 100% emissions-free energy by 2040 with plans for additional emissions reductions through the electrification of its vehicle fleet. Growing the number of electric vehicles within the company's fleet will benefit the environment and lower fuel costs, resulting in greater customer value and furthering the commitment to environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles.

Under the commitment, existing fleet vehicles will be replaced as they are retired with an increasing percentage of electric vehicles. The new goals call for 25% of all light duty fleet purchases to be electric by 2025 and 50% to be electric by 2030. Light duty fleet vehicles consist of sedans, vans, SUVs, and most pickup trucks. The goals are designed to continue utilizing vehicles with remaining value until the appropriate time for replacement and steadily employing a mix of traditional and electric vehicles that meet operational needs. The phased-in approach takes advantage of evolving technologies and provides for a cost-efficient transformation of the fleet.

"As part of our commitment to an ESG strategy, we continue to look for opportunities to make changes in our business that benefit the environment and provide additional value to customers," said Pat Vincent-Collawn, PNM Resources' chairman, president and CEO. "As we look beyond the transformation of our energy portfolio to emissions-free, the increased integration of electric vehicles in our fleet meets both objectives and advances our vision of a clean and bright energy future."

The commitment to a growing electric vehicle fleet follows an announcement from the US Department of Transportation in late June to designate the first Alternative Fuel Corridors throughout New Mexico. Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM), the wholly-owned regulated subsidiary of PNM Resources, remains committed to supporting the existing and development of additional electric infrastructure for electric vehicle charging along the Corridor-Ready section of highway between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Alternative Fuel Corridors have previously been designated across Texas.

Additionally, PNM encourages customers to learn more about electric vehicles and offers educational resources and promotions to help customers save money when purchasing an electric vehicle.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Sept. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- PNM, the wholly-owned New Mexico utility subsidiary of PNM Resources, Inc. (NYSE: PNM), announced an agreement to partner with Sandia National Laboratories in research and development projects focused on energy resiliency, clean energy and national security. The partnership demonstrates PNM Resources' commitment to an environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy with projects supporting the company's emissions-free energy goals and plans for a reliable, resilient and secure grid to deliver New Mexico's clean energy future.

PNM and the National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC (NTESS) will capitalize on their combined expertise to assess current and future energy storage technologies in addition to other future technologies that may provide greater flexibility in the electric system and enhance the efficient use of carbon-free generation technologies. Advances may include networked microgrids, virtual power plants, highly efficient distributed and centralized storage systems, and reconfigurable grid architectures that provide added resilience.

"Our goal for 100% emissions-free energy requires advanced resources to bridge the technological gap," said Pat Vincent-Collawn, PNM Resources' chairman, president and CEO. "We are fortunate to have a national laboratory in Albuquerque, and the combination of their expertise, technologies and resources with our team's industry experience is an ideal collaboration to solve this challenge. We look forward to this opportunity for shared learning and progress."

"The partnership with PNM will address energy challenges not just in New Mexico but across the United States," Sandia Labs Director James Peery said. "This agreement provides a pathway for Sandia's advanced technologies to be put to the test in a real-world system, while advancing the goals of electric power system resiliency and safety that are critical to national security."

PNM and Sandia National Laboratories previously collaborated in the nation's first combined solar-plus-storage facility to be fully integrated into a utility power grid in 2011, using smart grid technology to advance renewable energy. The groundbreaking Prosperity Energy Storage Project was highly acclaimed, and its resulting data has been studied by numerous research organizations and utilized by commercial developers across the globe in the development of battery storage technology that is now being implemented on a larger scale worldwide.

A Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) is an agreement between a government agency or federal laboratory and a nonfederal entity to work together on research and development to bolster collaboration. The umbrella CRADA between PNM and NTESS covers multiple projects and technologies, allowing research collaborations in several areas.

During today's earnings conference call, PNM Resources will highlight its commitment to ESG principles and share recent achievements in these areas, including additional environmental goals that frame the company's path to emissions-free energy by 2040 and significant reductions in the usage of freshwater. Management will also highlight investment programs that are aligned with these principles, including the recently announced Wired for the Future program to enhance transmission and distribution infrastructure to provide a reliable, resilient and secure energy grid to deliver clean energy.

"PNM is taking a broad view with investments that focus on strengthening our infrastructure to support the transformation to a 100% clean energy portfolio," Vincent-Collawn continued. "Our future investment plans will not reflect new generation additions and will emphasize grid investments to enhance capabilities to adapt and integrate new resources. If regulators determine that PNM should develop new generation resources, however, these projects would need to be balanced with grid investments to maintain the affordability of customer rates. We remain committed to our earnings growth target of 5 to 6 percent through 2023."

The New Mexico Public Regulation Commission issued an order this week on the replacement power for the San Juan Generating Station, which has been approved for abandonment in 2022. The order supports PNM's clean energy goals with a portfolio of renewable energy resources and battery storage. The revised capital investment plan included in the presentation materials for today's call does not include investments for replacement power resources.

SEGMENT REPORTING OF 2020 SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS
PNM – a vertically integrated electric utility in New Mexico with distribution, transmission and generation assets.                       

• GAAP earnings during the second quarter of 2019 included the $104 million after tax write-off of assets previously under appeal with the New Mexico Supreme Court following the order confirming disallowance of these assets from retail rate base.
• Higher than normal temperatures in the second quarter of 2020 compared to significantly milder temperatures in the second quarter of 2019 resulted in higher residential load, partially offset by reduced commercial usage resulting from COVID-19 business restrictions in New Mexico.
• Earnings were also higher in the second quarter of 2020 due to lower plant outage costs resulting from the completion of planned outages at San Juan Generating Station in 2019, along with higher transmission margins, recovery of new utility-owned solar resources under the renewable rider and the refinancing of debt at lower interest rates. These increases were partially offset by additional depreciation and property tax expenses on new capital investments.

TNMP – an electric transmission and distribution utility in Texas.

• TNMP's GAAP and ongoing earnings increased in the second quarter of 2020 due to the implementation of Transmission Cost of Service (TCOS) rate increases implemented in September 2019 and March 2020. Total customer usage increased as a result of higher than normal temperatures. COVID-19 restrictions increased volumetric (primarily residential) load and reduced demand-based (commercial and industrial) load.
• These increases were offset by higher depreciation and property tax expenses resulting from additional capital investments.

Corporate and Other – a segment that reflects the PNM Resources holding company and other subsidiaries.

• Corporate and Other's ongoing losses were reduced in the second quarter of 2020 due to higher tax benefits resulting from a higher effective tax rate.

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 (or ongoing diluted earnings per 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 1-5.
