(ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.) PNM Resources (NYSE: PNM) today released the company’s 2017 second quarter earnings results. In addition, management affirmed its 2017 consolidated ongoing earnings guidance of $1.77 to $1.87 per diluted share.

“Positive second quarter financial results keep us on track with annual earnings guidance,” said Pat Vincent-Collawn, PNM Resources’ chairman, president and CEO. “The settlement filed in PNM’s general rate case, which includes the retirement of two coal-fired units at the San Juan Generating Station at the end of this year, is scheduled for hearings in August. Additionally, PNM’s 2017 Integrated Resource Plan was filed on July 3, providing a roadmap for the transformation to a coal-free generation portfolio in 2031 while continuing to provide customers with reliable, affordable and environmentally sustainable power.”

In the second quarter of 2017, PNM’s GAAP and ongoing earnings included the effect of the October 2016 implementation of new retail rates, revenues from a new third-party transmission contract and lower outage costs, which were partially offset by depreciation expense from new capital investments and a reduction in the FERC generation Navopache contract. Increased operations and maintenance costs were mitigated by the implementation of cost savings to align the business with the allowed recovery included in the last general rate case.
PNM’s GAAP and ongoing earnings in the second quarter of 2016 also included interest income received from the IRS, net of fees.

In the second quarter of 2017, TNMP’s GAAP and ongoing earnings benefited from load growth and transmission rate relief, partially offset by higher depreciation and property tax expenses resulting from additional capital investments.

Corporate and Other includes PNMR holding company activities, primarily related to corporate level debt and PNMR Services Company, in addition to the activities of PNMR Development and NM Capital.

In the second quarter of 2017, Corporate and Other’s GAAP and ongoing earnings were reduced by additional interest expense related to rising interest rates and higher debt levels. During the first half of the year, the company entered into interest rate swaps to effectively fix the rates for an additional $150 million of its variable rate debt.
Corporate and Other’s GAAP and ongoing earnings in the second quarter of 2016 also included interest income related to the amortization of origination fees for the loan associated with Westmoreland Coal Company.

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 impairments on available-for-sale securities, 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, 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.
