Item 2.02  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 6, 2008, PNM Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its unaudited results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

The Company’s press release and other communications from time to time may include certain non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") financial measures.  A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company’s financial statements.

Non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company include presentations of revenues, operating expenses, operating income, other income and deductions, net earnings (loss), earnings (loss) per share, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”).  The Company uses ongoing earnings, ongoing earnings per diluted share (or ongoing diluted earnings per share) and EBITDA to evaluate the operations of the Company and to establish goals for management and employees.  Certain non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company exclude the impact of non-recurring items, net unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on economic hedges, unrealized impairments on assets held in trusts for nuclear decommissioning, and the results of speculative trading. The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors by removing the effect of variances in GAAP reported results of operations that are not indicative of fundamental changes in the earnings capacity of the Company’s operations.  Management also believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures is largely consistent with its past practice, as well as industry practice in general, and will enable investors and analysts to compare current non-GAAP measures with non-GAAP measures with respect to prior periods.
 
As previously announced, on January 12, 2008, an agreement to sell the gas operations of the Company was signed.  The gas operations are classified as discontinued operations under GAAP.  The sale is subject to approval by the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission.  Pending regulatory approval, management must continue to actively manage the gas operations to fulfill its obligations to its regulated customers.  Therefore, management has determined to include discontinued operations in ongoing earnings to reflect these obligations.  Under GAAP, depreciation is not recorded on assets included in discontinued operations.  However, depreciation on these assets is reflected in ongoing earnings.
 
The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Limitation on Incorporation by Reference

In accordance with general instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this report, including exhibits, is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section and not deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933.

PNM Resources Reports 2008 First Quarter Results
PNM electric reports loss for the quarter
First Choice Power, EnergyCo incur significant mark-to-market losses
 

(ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.) – PNM Resources (NYSE: PNM) today reported unaudited 2008 first quarter consolidated GAAP losses of $48.6 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $29.7 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in 2007. GAAP results primarily were driven by planned outages, write-offs associated with regulatory disallowances, First Choice Power trading activities and EnergyCo mark-to-market losses on economic hedges.

Unaudited, consolidated ongoing earnings were $3.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with $29.8 million, or $0.38 per diluted share in 2007. The reduction in ongoing earnings was driven primarily by PNM electric, due to the lack of rate relief and higher operating costs, including planned outages at base load facilities.

Ongoing earnings include earnings from discontinued operations and exclude the impact of non-recurring items and net unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on economic hedges. Ongoing earnings also exclude losses from speculative trading activity and unrealized losses recorded as impairments of assets held in the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust. Reconciliations of GAAP to ongoing earnings are shown in the attached schedules 1 through 4.

“We expected reduced availability at our base load facilities, particularly San Juan Generating Station, where we continued the installation of environmental and plant upgrades, and the Four Corners Plant, where a major overhaul was started,” said Jeff Sterba, PNM Resources chairman, president and CEO.

“While the cost of those planned outages and subsequent power purchases affected our earnings, the work completed at San Juan has resulted in much-improved availability in March and April. Unfortunately, our unique situation of not having a fuel and purchased-power adjustment clause has kept us from recovering the increasing and fluctuating energy costs of providing service to PNM’s 494,000 customers.”

 
FIRST QUARTER PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
 
Planned and forced outages at San Juan and the Four Corners Plant early in the quarter, combined with higher purchased-power prices and higher generation costs, more than offset strong availability at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generation Station. SJGS had an equivalent availability factor of 54.1 percent, compared with 85.8 percent in 2007. Availability at San Juan has been strong since the completion of environmental and plant upgrades in early April for Unit 3 and late February for Unit 4.

Units 4 and 5 at Four Corners had an EAF of 67.3 percent, compared with 79.4 percent in 2007. Availability at Palo Verde remained strong with an EAF of 90.4 percent, compared with 92.5 percent in 2007. The weighted-average EAF of PNM’s baseload plants was 64.6 percent, compared with 85.8 percent in 2007.

After-tax write-offs associated with regulatory disallowances of $6.4 million related to renewable energy certificates and $11.9 million related to coal mine decommissioning costs reduced GAAP earnings. The disallowances are a result of the April 24 final order in PNM’s electric rate case.

In the past, First Choice Power entered into speculative trading positions as part of its normal business strategy. In late 2007, First Choice Power entered into a series of forward, arbitraged power positions among delivery zones within ERCOT. However, extreme congestion and transmission instability within ERCOT created negative zonal power prices and surging costs to move power between zones. During this time, delivery prices fluctuated between historic averages of $1.50 per megawatt-hour to as high as $100 per megawatt-hour.

As a result of its positions, First Choice Power incurred a non-recurring, after-tax loss of approximately $30.3 million during the first quarter, which is reflected in GAAP earnings. Of those losses, $8.3 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, are realized and $22.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, are unrealized.
 
“First Choice Power began to exit its inter-zonal power positions once it was determined no near-term fix was possible to solve ERCOT's transmission congestion,” said Chuck Eldred, PNM Resources executive vice president and CFO. “Power basis positions have been converted to natural gas and power positions, which are more liquid. First Choice Power is in the process of liquidating those remaining positions. Moving forward, we have eliminated speculative trading from our business strategy.”
Also affecting PNM Resources’ GAAP earnings was $14.2 million representing PNM Resources’ share of net unrealized mark-to-market losses on economic hedges incurred by EnergyCo.
 
QUARTERLY SEGMENT REPORTING OF EARNINGS
 
PNM Electric a vertically integrated electric utility in New Mexico with distribution, transmission and generation assets.
 
·  
Ongoing losses were $14.4 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $12.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in 2007.
 
·  
GAAP losses were $27.1 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $14.2 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in 2007. Earnings were impacted by regulatory disallowances totaling $18.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share.
 
·  
Planned and forced outages at San Juan and Four Corners more than offset improved availability at Palo Verde. Lower plant availability reduced off-system sales activity and increased market purchases required to serve load. Higher generation costs and purchased-power prices also lowered earnings.
 
·  
Gross margin associated with the company’s unregulated power plants – Palo Verde Unit 3, the Luna Energy Facility and the Lordsburg Generating Station – was $16.5 million in 2008, compared with $11.1 million in 2007, based on an average price of short-term power sales.
