(ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.) - (ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.) - PNM Resources (NYSE: PNM) today released the company’s 2014 second quarter earnings results. In addition, management narrowed its 2014 consolidated ongoing earnings guidance to a range of $1.44 to $1.51 per diluted share. The midpoint of the 2014 consolidated ongoing earnings guidance range remains at $1.47.

“The company remained on track in the second quarter, successfully navigating the challenges caused by lingering economic headwinds in New Mexico, while benefitting from steady growth in Texas,” said Pat Vincent-Collawn, PNM Resources’ chairman, president and CEO. “PNM also filed with the NM Public Regulation Commission a comprehensive Integrated Resource Plan developed through a year of research and collaboration with stakeholders. The IRP incorporates our plan to retire 2 units of the San Juan Generating Station to meet federal haze regulations, and helps the company move toward a more balanced fuel portfolio, in part by adding more renewable energy resources.”

PNM’s ongoing earnings benefitted from rate relief, higher market prices for Palo Verde unit 3, reduced outage expenses, and off system sales. These gains partially offset a decline in load, weather, and tax expense for R&D credits resulting from IRS exam settlements which was offset in Corporate and Other.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
Statements made in this news release that relate to future events or PNM Resources’ (“PNMR”), Public Service Company of New Mexico’s (“PNM”), or Texas-New Mexico Power Company’s (“TNMP”) (collectively, the “Company”) 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 and Form 10-Q filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which factors are specifically incorporated by reference herein.

    

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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 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”). 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. Management is generally not able to estimate the impact of the reconciling items between ongoing earnings guidance and forecasted GAAP net earnings, nor their probable impact on GAAP net earnings; therefore, management is generally not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for earnings guidance.
