Item 2.02    Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 5, 2008, PNM Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its unaudited results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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), ongoing EBITDA, 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, impairments of intangible assets, 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.

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. Management is generally not able to estimate the impact of the reconciling items between ongoing earnings guidance and forecasted GAAP earnings, nor their probable impact on GAAP earnings; therefore, management is generally not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for earnings guidance.  Reconciling items may include the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles or estimates, and/or revenues and expenses resulting from transactions that do not occur in the normal course of the Company’s business operations. Reconciling items may also include net unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on economic hedges, as discussed above.

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.

For Immediate Release
Nov. 5, 2008
PNM Resources Announces Third Quarter Results
PNM utility continues improvement; Hurricane Ike impacts Texas operations
2008 ongoing earnings guidance range affirmed
 
(ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.) – PNM Resources (NYSE: PNM) today reported unaudited 2008 third quarter consolidated GAAP losses of $5.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $8.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, during the same period in 2007. Unaudited, consolidated quarterly ongoing earnings were $23.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $35.3 million, or $0.46 per diluted share in 2007. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures are shown in the attached schedules 1-12.
 
Quarterly earnings were affected by Hurricane Ike, which struck the Texas Gulf Coast on Sept. 13, 2008, and reduced sales volumes at First Choice Power and TNMP. The hurricane also depressed wholesale power prices and limited sales opportunities for EnergyCo. In addition, GAAP losses reflect a charge for the completion of the goodwill and intangible-asset impairment analysis at First Choice Power and a one-time write-off at EnergyCo related to its inventory balance of emission allowances under the Clean Air Interstate Rule. In July 2008, a federal appeals court invalidated CAIR.
 
“While our quarter-over-quarter results are lower, today we report financial results that demonstrate improvement in two key business areas,” said Jeff Sterba, PNM Resources chairman and CEO. “First, the PNM electric utility performance improved as a result of having a fuel clause in place and the implementation of new electric rates, which are the first steps of several designed to restore PNM back to financial health. Second, EnergyCo had a strong quarter, despite the lower power prices that were prevalent throughout Texas as a result of Ike. We expect EnergyCo to perform well moving forward, but we also expect power prices to be depressed well into 2009.
 
“On the regulatory front, we continue to make headway to ensure our utilities reach their earnings potential. As previously announced, we have filed rate cases for both PNM and TNMP, and we are progressing toward regulatory approval of the PNM gas operations sale,” Sterba said. In addition, we have permission from Texas regulators to seek recovery of Hurricane Ike repair costs – approximately $25 million to $30 million – in the current TNMP rate proceeding. On the other hand, First Choice Power continued to be affected by the fallout of gas-price volatility during the second quarter and bad-debt expense. Combined with the impact of Hurricane Ike, First Choice Power’s earnings remain below our expectations and last year’s performance.”

THIRD QUARTER PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
 
In Texas, Hurricane Ike decreased demand and depressed wholesale prices for much of September. Lower wholesale prices reduced opportunities for EnergyCo and resulted in First Choice Power selling excess power at prices lower than purchase prices. In addition, First Choice Power bad debt increased $6.4 million pre-tax compared with the same period in 2007.
 
Impairment charges recorded by First Choice Power and a write-off of emission allowances at EnergyCo increased PNM Resources consolidated GAAP losses by $16.9 million, after income-tax impacts, or $0.20 per diluted share.
 
PNM electric improved compared with 2007, due to the implementation of new base rates, which added $0.16 per diluted share, and implementation of a fuel adjustment clause, which offset higher fuel and purchase power costs. PNM’s baseload facilities performed as expected as those resources finished the quarter with a weighted-average equivalent availability factor of 87.2 percent, compared with 87.0 percent in 2007.
 
 
YEAR-TO-DATE PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
 
For the first nine months of 2008, PNM Resources reported unaudited consolidated GAAP losses of $197.6 million, or $2.42 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $58.3 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, during the same period in 2007. GAAP losses include non-cash impairment charges and a write off of emission allowances, which total $157.3 million, after income-tax impacts.
 
Year-to-date unaudited, consolidated ongoing earnings were $19.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $80.2 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, during the same period in 2007.
 
QUARTERLY SEGMENT REPORTING OF EARNINGS
 
Regulated Operations
 
 
PNM Electric a vertically integrated electric utility in New Mexico with distribution, transmission and generation assets.
 
·  
PNM Electric reported ongoing earnings of $28.7 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared with ongoing 2007 earnings of $20.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share. GAAP earnings were $15.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared with 2007 earnings of $1.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. 2007 GAAP earnings included an after-tax write-down of $11.8 million associated with the Afton Generating Station.
 
 
·  
The implementation of higher electric rates contributed to earnings. Fuel clause revenues offset higher fuel and purchase power costs used to serve jurisdictional load.
 
 
TNMP  a transmission and distribution company in Texas.
 
·  
TNMP reported ongoing earnings of $8.2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared with $10.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in 2007. GAAP earnings were $8.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared with 2007 earnings of $10.2 million, or $0.13 per diluted share.

·  
Reduced demand associated with Hurricane Ike and lower stranded cost revenue reflecting the Public Utility Commission of Texas’ final order on TNMP’s competitive transition costs negatively affected earnings and more than offset financing savings.
 
 
Unregulated Operations
 
First Choice Powera competitive retail electric provider in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas.
 
·  
First Choice Power reported negative ongoing EBITDA of $3.3 million, compared with ongoing EBITDA of $11.8 million in 2007. Bad debt expense reduced EBITDA by $6.4 million and the impact of lower sales volumes and Hurricane Ike reduced EBITDA by $5.4 million, compared with the same period last year.
 
 
·  
First Choice Power had contracted to purchase power from Lehman Brothers Commodity Services, which filed bankruptcy in mid-September. Lehman’s default negatively affected First Choice’s ongoing EBITDA by $3.9 million. However, First Choice Power expects to offset most of those losses as a result of purchasing lower-priced replacement power during the fourth quarter.
 
 
·  
First Choice Power reported ongoing losses of $3.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $6.8 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in 2007.
 
 
·  
GAAP losses were $16.5 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $2.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in 2007. GAAP results reflect the completion of First Choice Power’s impairment analysis and recording of a non-cash impairment charge of $7.3 million, after income-tax impacts, which is in addition to the estimated impairment charge recorded in the second quarter. For the year, First Choice Power recorded after-tax impairment charges totaling $55.3 million.
 
 
·  
Quarterly average retail margins were approximately $16 per megawatt-hour, compared with approximately $18 per megawatt-hour in 2007. 
 
 
EnergyCo  jointly owned by PNM Resources and a subsidiary of Cascade Investment, L.L.C., EnergyCo owns two generating assets – the coal-fired Twin Oaks Power facility and the natural gas-fired Altura Cogen facility – and is one of the developers of a fourth unit at the Cedar Bayou Generating Station
 
 
·  
PNM Resources' share of EnergyCo's ongoing EBITDA was $5.4 million, up from $1.7 million in 2007. EnergyCo had a power supply contract with Lehman Brothers Commodity Services. Since the Lehman commodity services’ default, EnergyCo has resold that power, and the net impact of the Lehman bankruptcy lowered PNM Resources’ share of EnergyCo EBITDA by $0.6 million.
 
 
·  
PNM Resources' equity in ongoing net earnings of EnergyCo was $0.2 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $6.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in 2007. PNM Resources' equity in the GAAP net losses of EnergyCo was $0.9 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $6.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in 2007.
 
 
·  
GAAP losses reflect the recording of a non-cash write-off related to EnergyCo’s inventory balance of emission allowances under the Clean Air Interstate Rule. PNM Resources’ share of the after-tax write-off is $9.6 million.

·  
For the quarter, Twin Oaks had an EAF of 95.1 percent and Altura Cogen produced an availability factor of 99.5 percent.
 
 
Corporate/Other  – a business segment that reflects costs at the PNM Resources holding company, comprised mainly of interest expense related to certain short- and long-term debt and existing hybrid securities.
 
 
·  
Corporate/Other reported ongoing losses of $6.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with losses of $5.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in 2007. GAAP losses were $11.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared with losses of $9.1 million or $0.12 per diluted share, in 2007.
 
 
·  
Savings from lower short-term interest rates and borrowings were more than offset by the higher interest rates associated with the remarketing of equity-linked securities and higher short-term bank fees associated with credit downgrades.
 
 
Discontinued Operations
 
 
PNM Gas: a natural gas utility with distribution and transmission assets.
 
·  
PNM Gas reported ongoing losses of $4.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with losses of $3.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in 2007. PNM Gas reported GAAP losses of $0.6 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared with losses of $3.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in 2007.
 
 
·  
Reduced usage and lower off-system activities drove the slight year-over-year decline.
 
 
2008 ONGOING EARNINGS GUIDANCE
 
PNM Resources today also affirmed its 2008 consolidated ongoing earnings guidance range of $0.13 to $0.28 per diluted share, including the adverse impacts of Hurricane Ike and First Choice Power’s year-to-date performance. Management expects results to be in the lower end of the range. However, the risk of falling below the range exists if fourth quarter performance at First Choice Power comes in below current projections due to deterioration in unit margins and/or increased bad debt resulting from higher default rates. Also, current projections assume normal weather in New Mexico.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
PNM Resources (“the Company”) uses ongoing earnings, ongoing earnings per diluted share (or ongoing diluted earnings per share), EBITDA and ongoing EBITDA to evaluate the operations of the Company and to establish goals 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP).
