Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 1, 2020, PNM Resources, Inc., Public Service Company of New Mexico, and Texas-New Mexico Power Company (collectively, the “Company”) issued a press release confirming its previously announced results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein. The Company previously issued its preliminary unaudited results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 on April 13, 2020.

The Company's press release and other communications from time to time may include certain financial measures that are not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). 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, on an ongoing basis, of revenues, operating expenses, operating income, other income and deductions, earnings, and earnings per share. The Company uses ongoing earnings and ongoing earnings per diluted share (or ongoing diluted earnings per 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. Certain non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company exclude 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. 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.

The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company should not be considered in isolation from 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. 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 earnings and ongoing earnings guidance, nor their probable impact on GAAP earnings without unreasonable effort; therefore, management is generally not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for forecasted ongoing earnings guidance. Reconciling items may include revenues and expenses resulting from transactions that do not occur in the normal course of the Company's business operations, as well as net unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on economic hedges, the net change in unrealized gains and losses on investment securities, and pension expense related to previously disposed of gas distribution business 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

PNM Resources Affirms Guidance and Discusses COVID-19 Updates, PNM to File Decoupling in Lieu of Planned Rate Review

Conference call set for 11 a.m. Eastern today

(ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.) – PNM Resources (NYSE: PNM) will discuss COVID-19 updates today during its previously scheduled first quarter 2020 earnings call.

•COVID-19 Stage 1 assumptions have been updated based on April visibility, 2020 Ongoing Earnings Guidance affirmed based on Stage 1 impacts

•PNM to file in May for decoupling in lieu of the planned general rate review

•Q1 2020 Earnings Results remain unchanged from April 13, 2020 preliminary earnings report

COVID-19 UPDATES

The company continues to monitor load trends during COVID-19 and has made adjustments to the projected impacts to load by customer class based on April activity. Stage 1 continues to assume that these expectations carry through May and fall within guidance, while Stage 2 carries these assumptions through July and guidance could possibly be at risk.

As a result, management affirmed its 2020 consolidated ongoing earnings guidance of $2.16 to $2.26 per diluted share. On the call, management will also review liquidity, rate base and earnings growth targets and other long-term business fundamentals that remain intact.

KEY REGULATORY UPDATES

Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) has announced that it is deferring its general rate review planned for the second quarter of 2020 in response to the challenges that COVID-19 has created for customers.

Instead, PNM plans to file a full decoupling proposal in May 2020 for residential and small commercial customers. This change better aligns customer non-fuel charges with the associated fixed costs of the system providing electricity service.

PNM joined other New Mexico utilities in filing a request on April 27, 2020 with the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission for the deferral of incremental COVID-19 related costs to a regulatory asset that will be included for recovery in a future rate review.

COVID-19 Impacts

The company cannot predict the extent or duration of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, nor its effects on the global, national or local economy, including the impacts on the company’s ability to access capital, or its effects on the company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. As previously reported in our Form 8-K on March 30, 2020, the company issued materials that discussed potential impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic under different planning scenarios, including consolidated earnings guidance.

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 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. 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 (or ongoing diluted earnings per 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 1-2 of Exhibit 99.1 of the Company’s preliminary earnings report on April 13, 2020.
