1 Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and non-controlling interest for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 include pre-tax losses of $1.1 million and $12.2 million due to the write-off of regulatory disallowances at PNM. If those losses were excluded, the Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges would have been 2.42 for 2014 and 2.29 for 2013.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2 Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and non-controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes a pre-tax loss of $21.4 million due to the write-off of regulatory disallowances at PNM and TNMP. If those losses were excluded, the Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges would have been 3.42. In addition, 2011 includes a pre-tax gain on the sale of First Choice of $174.9 million. If that gain were also excluded, the Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges would have been 1.96.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
3 The shortfall in the earnings available for fixed charges to achieve a ratio of earnings to fixed charges of 1.00 amounted to $66.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and non-controlling interest includes a pre-tax loss of $188.2 million due to the impairment of PNMR's investment in an equity investee. If that loss were excluded, the Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges would have been 1.90.
