PNM Resources (NYSE: PNM) today released its 2023 earnings results. GAAP earnings include one-time charges for rate credits associated with the San Juan Generating Station abandonment settlement and disallowances in PNM’s recent rate case decision related to legacy generation assets.

In addition, management announced its 2024 consolidated ongoing earnings guidance of $2.65 to $2.75 per diluted share and refreshed its long-term earnings growth target to a range of 6% to 7% through 2028 based on the 2024 guidance midpoint of $2.70.

“Our financial results continue to demonstrate our ability to navigate our environment and deliver an attractive return on investments by increasing the geographic and regulatory diversification of our rate base,” said Pat Vincent-Collawn, PNM Resources’ chairman and CEO. “Our outlook for 2024 and beyond prioritizes investments supported by legislative and regulatory initiatives for a reliable and resilient grid to meet growing customer demands and enable the clean energy transition, resulting in targeted earnings growth of 6% to 7% through 2028.”

EPS Results by Segment
GAAP Diluted EPSOngoing Diluted EPS
2023202220232022
PNM$0.41$1.20$2.22$1.90
TNMP$1.10$1.07$1.11$1.07
Corporate and Other($0.49)($0.3)($0.51)($0.28)
Consolidated PNM Resources$1.02$1.97$2.82$2.69

Net changes to GAAP and ongoing earnings in 2023 compared to 2022 include:

PNM: Lower costs associated with generation portfolio changes, increased customer usage due to hotter temperatures, increased transmission margins due to higher system demand, fewer gas plant outages, and improved market performance of decommissioning and reclamation trusts were partially offset by planned O&M expenses and depreciation and interest expense associated with new capital investments.

TNMP: Increased rate recovery through the Transmission Cost of Service (TCOS) and Distribution Cost Recovery Factor (DCRF) mechanisms and higher demand-based load growth was partially offset by 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, net of hedges, increased losses.

In addition, GAAP earnings decreased in 2023 primarily due to $242.0 million in regulatory disallowances and restructuring costs, which includes a settlement involving rate credits associated with the retirement of the San Juan Generating Station and disallowances in PNM’s recent rate case outcome related to legacy generation assets. These costs were offset by $33.3 million of net unrealized gains on investment securities in 2023 compared to $63.8 million of net unrealized losses in 2022.

Preliminary Unaudited Financial Results
The preliminary unaudited financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, included in this press release represent the most current information available to management and are not a comprehensive statement of the financial results for this period. Actual results may differ from these preliminary unaudited results due to the completion of the company's year-end financial closing procedures, including final adjustments, completion of the audit by the company's independent registered public accounting firm, completion of the internal control over financial reporting and other developments that may arise between the date of this press release and the time that financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, are finalized.

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. 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.
