EX-99 3 exh99_1.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 PNM Reports 2001 Earnings ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., January 23, 2002 - PNM Resources (NYSE:PNM) today reported net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2001, of $150.4 million, or $3.77 per share of common stock (diluted), an increase of 49 percent over 2000 net earnings of $100.9 million, or $2.53 per share (diluted). Operating revenues for the year totaled $2.35 billion, up 46 percent from $1.61 billion in 2000. Earnings in both 2001 and 2000 included certain special gains and charges (see description below). These items decreased 2001 earnings by a net $0.75 per share, compared to a net decrease of $0.05 per share in the previous year. Net earnings from ongoing operations (before special gains and charges) were $180.1 million, or $4.52 per share (diluted) in 2001, a 75 percent increase over the $103.2 million, or $2.58 per share (diluted) in 2000. "This has been an extraordinary year for our industry and for our company," PNM Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Sterba said of 2001. "Our success demonstrates the basic strength of the PNM strategic plan, which balances the stability of our core utility operations with the growth potential of our electric power marketing business. The challenge for 2002 is to continue to build on that success in a difficult market environment." PNM net earnings in the fourth quarter were $4.5 million, or $0.11 per share (diluted), on total operating revenues of $327.6 million, compared to net earnings of $14.1 million, or $0.35 per share (diluted), on total operating revenues of $461.5 million in the prior year. In the fourth quarter 2001 PNM recorded a special charge of $0.09 per share for costs related to the company's terminated transaction with Western Resources. For the final quarter of 2001, PNM reported earnings from ongoing operations of $0.20 per share (diluted) compared to earnings from ongoing operations of $0.58 per share (diluted) in the same period in 2000. Earnings for the most recent quarter were reduced by the lower wholesale prices prevailing during the period, increased operating expenses due to maintenance outages at the company's primary generating plants, and unusually mild weather in October and November 2001. PNM wholesale power sales totaled 12.6 million megawatt-hours (MWh) for the year, up about 1.8 percent from the 12.4 million MWh sold in 2000. Revenues from wholesale power sales nearly doubled in 2001 to $1.41 billion, compared to $750.4 million in the prior year. Wholesale electric sales accounted for 60 percent of total operating revenue in 2001. Retail electric sales increased 2.3 percent in 2001, to 7.3 million MWh. Retail electric revenues increased 2 percent during the year. Gas operating revenues increased 21 percent to $385.4 million in 2001, from $319.9 million in 2000. Gas gross margin (gas operating revenues less gas purchased for resale) increased 8 percent to $134.1 million in 2001, compared to $124.6 million in 2000. 4 Exhibit 99.1 (continued) Special items recorded in 2001 included $18.0 million of costs associated with the Western Resources transaction, the write-off of $13.0 million in non-recoverable coal mine decommissioning costs, the write-off of $13.1 million in energy-related technology investments and a $5.0 million contribution to the not-for-profit PNM Foundation. Because PNM earnings are partially driven by wholesale power prices in the West, 2002 earnings are not expected to reach 2001 levels. "Wholesale prices in the West remain at lower levels than we believe likely to prevail through the remainder of the year," Sterba said. "Depending on the effect of weather, development of new generation, and regional economic conditions, PNM operating earnings are expected to be at the lower end of the previously identified range of $3.00 to $3.50 per share for the year." On Thursday, January 24, at 9:00 a.m. (ET), PNM Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Sterba, together with other members of the PNM management team, will discuss PNM earnings in a conference call and web cast for analysts and investors.
