ALBUQUERQUE, Feb. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --

PNM Resources (In millions, except EPS)
	2022	2021
GAAP net earnings attributable to PNM Resources	$169.5	$195.8
GAAP diluted EPS	$1.97	$2.27
Ongoing net earnings	$231.5	$211.1
Ongoing diluted EPS	$2.69	$2.45

PNM Resources (NYSE:PNM) today released its 2022 year-end results. In addition, management narrowed its consolidated ongoing earnings guidance for 2023 to a range of $2.65 to $2.75 per diluted share.

"Our successes in 2022 demonstrate our continued progress on transforming PNM's generation portfolio and investing in critical infrastructure to support growth and reliability across New Mexico and Texas," said Pat Vincent-Collawn, PNM Resources chairman and CEO. "We progressed to a 55% carbon-free generation portfolio, filed for a grid modernization plan along with recovery for over $2 billion of investments in New Mexico and undertook projects to support grid resilience and continued high demand growth in Texas resulting in record-level investments. Our focus remains on delivering safe, reliable and environmentally sustainable power to customers at affordable rates."

SEGMENT REPORTING OF 2022 EARNINGS

EPS Results by Segment
	GAAP Diluted EPS		Ongoing Diluted EPS
	2022	2021	2022	2021
PNM	$1.20	$1.81	$1.90	$1.85
TNMP	$1.07	$0.74	$1.07	$0.75
Corporate and Other	($0.30)	($0.28)	($0.28)	($0.15)

Consolidated PNM Resources	$1.97	$2.27	$2.69	$2.45

Net changes to GAAP and ongoing earnings in 2022 compared to 2021 include:

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

In addition, GAAP earnings decreased in 2022 resulting from $63.8 million in net unrealized losses on investment securities for decommissioning and reclamation trusts compared to $0.3 million in net unrealized gains in 2021. This was partially offset by a reduction in merger related costs of $1.9 million in 2022 compared to $13.3 million in 2021.

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 1-4.
