For Immediate Release

PNM Resources Reports 2011 First Quarter Results
Texas operations drive quarterly performance; Competitive operations provided natural hedge
 
FIRST QUARTER SUMMARY
  
GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) earnings of $0.18 per diluted share, compared with losses of $0.09 per diluted share in 2010
 
  
Ongoing earnings of $0.04 per diluted share, compared with $0.06 per diluted share in 2010
 
(ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.) – PNM Resources (NYSE: PNM) today reported unaudited 2011 first quarter consolidated GAAP earnings of $16.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared with 2010 losses of $8.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share.

Quarterly unaudited, consolidated ongoing earnings were $3.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with $5.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in 2010. Ongoing earnings exclude various special items, but include the post-impairment losses of Optim Energy in order to reflect the company’s continued involvement in the competitive market.

Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures such as ongoing earnings and EBITDA (earnings before interest charges, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) are shown on the attached schedules 1 through 5.

“Two of our Texas operations, TNMP and First Choice Power, drove our quarterly results,” said Pat Vincent-Collawn, PNM Resources president and CEO.  “Last year’s transmission rate increase and new retail rates that went into effect in February have aligned costs with consumer rates, which resulted in strong performance for TNMP. First Choice Power continued to lower its bad-debt expense and demonstrate sustainable results.

“The retail operations of PNM showed improved load growth, quarter-over-quarter, and the utility also benefitted from the second phase of the rate case filed in 2008,” Vincent-Collawn said. “Next week PNM will present its case before a hearing examiner regarding the rate increase stipulation we reached earlier this year with key parties. We believe the stipulation appropriately balances the need for adequate, timely recovery of costs and the impact to customers. If approved, the stipulation would put PNM on a clear path that would ensure continued infrastructure investment and the opportunity to improve its credit metrics.

“In addition, our competitive businesses complemented each other in a challenging Texas market,” she said. “We saw the natural hedge between First Choice Power and Optim Energy demonstrate its value during the cold snap in February. Demand increased during that time and power prices pushed upward, causing First Choice Power to purchase higher-priced power while creating an opportunity for Optim Energy to increase sales margins.”

SEGMENT REPORTING OF 2011 FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS
 
Regulated Businesses
 
PNM a vertically integrated electric utility in New Mexico with distribution, transmission and generation assets.
 
PNM reported ongoing earnings of $0.8 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $1.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in 2010. GAAP earnings were $3.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with of $4.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.
 
Milder weather and the expiration of the wholesale tolling agreement from Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Unit 3 were partially offset by lower outage costs, weather-normalized load growth of 2.2 percent and higher retail rates associated with the second phase of the 2008 rate case.
 
TNMP an electric transmission and distribution utility in Texas.
 
TNMP reported ongoing and GAAP earnings of $4.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with $1.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in 2010.
 
Higher retail and transmission rates, along with weather-normalized load growth of 2.0 percent, improved quarterly earnings.
 
Competitive Businesses
 
First Choice Power – a competitive retail electric provider in Texas.
 
First Choice Power reported ongoing earnings of $7.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with ongoing earnings of $10.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in 2010. GAAP earnings were $13.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared with 2010 losses of $7.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, last year.
 
A 3.4 percent increase in sales volumes, combined with lower bad-debt expense, was more than offset by lower customer prices, compared with last year. First Choice Power reduced its quarterly bad-debt expense 22.5 percent, from $5.8 million last year to $4.5 million in 2011.
 
Optim Energyjointly owned by PNM Resources and a subsidiary of Cascade Investment, L.L.C., Optim Energy owns interests in three generating assets in Texas, totaling nearly 1,200 megawatts.
 
PNM Resources’ share of Optim Energy net ongoing losses was $4.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with 2010 losses of $3.9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share.
 
As previously reported, PNM Resources fully impaired its investment in Optim Energy at Dec. 31, 2010, and reduced the carrying value of that investment to zero. In accordance with GAAP, the post-impairment losses of Optim Energy are not reflected in PNM Resources’ 2011 GAAP earnings. In 2010, PNM Resources’ share of Optim Energy net GAAP losses was $2.6 million, or $0.03 per diluted share.
 
PNM Resources' share of Optim Energy's ongoing EBITDA was $3.5 million, compared with $4.9 million in 2010. Ongoing EBITDA decreased primarily because of the expired power sales contract associated with Twin Oaks, which was partially offset by higher margins achieved during the February cold snap, sales of excess emission credits and lower operations and maintenance costs.

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’, PNM’s, or TNMP’s (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 and PNM Resources, 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, PNM Resources, PNM, and TNMP caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements.  PNM Resources’, 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. These factors include:  conditions affecting the Company’s ability to access the financial markets and the Company’s or Optim Energy’s ability to negotiate new credit facilities for those expiring in 2012, including disruptions in the credit markets and actions by ratings agencies affecting the Company’s credit ratings; the potential unavailability of cash from PNM Resources’ subsidiaries or Optim Energy due to regulatory, statutory, or contractual restrictions; the impacts of decreases in the values of marketable equity securities on the trust funds maintained to provide nuclear decommissioning funding and pension and other postretirement benefits, including the levels of funding and expense; the recession and its impacts on the electricity usage of the Company’s customers; state and federal regulatory, legislative, and judicial decisions and actions, including the outcomes of PNM’s pending electric rate case and transmission rate case, and appeals of prior regulatory proceedings; the ability of PNM to successfully defend its utilization of a future test year in its current electric rate filing with the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (“NMPRC”), including PNM’s ability to withstand challenges by regulators and intervenors, in the event the pending stipulation in that case is not approved; the ability of PNM to successfully forecast and manage its operating and capital expenditures, particularly in the context of a future test year rate case; the ability of PNM and TNMP to recover their costs and earn their allowed returns in their regulated jurisdictions; the ability of  PNM to meet the renewable energy requirements established by the NMPRC, including the resource diversity requirement, within the specified cost parameters; the risk that replacement power costs incurred by PNM related to not meeting the specified capacity factor for its generating units under its emergency fuel and purchased power adjustment clause will not be approved by the NMPRC; the risk that PNM may not be able to recover the increased costs of  rights-of-way renewals on Native American lands through rates charged to customers; the ongoing risks relating to PNM Resources’ ownership interest in Optim Energy, including uncertainties surrounding PNM Resources’ assessment of strategic alternatives for its investment in Optim Energy, the risk that a strategic transaction involving Optim Energy may not be consummated, uncertainty regarding potential additional contributions to Optim Energy, and the possibility that PNM Resources might recognize additional gains or impairments depending on market conditions, the form and structure of a strategic transaction, and relative fair values; the risk that Optim Energy requires additional financial sources to expand its generation capacity, or otherwise, but is unable to identify and implement profitable acquisitions or that PNM Resources and ECJV Holdings, LLC, will not agree to make additional capital contributions to Optim Energy; state and federal regulation or legislation relating to climate change, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, coal combustion byproducts, nitrogen oxide, and other power plant emissions, including the risk that the Company and Optim Energy may have to commit to substantial capital investments and additional operating costs to comply with new environmental requirements, including possible future requirements to address regional haze regulations and related Best Available Retrofit Technology requirements and concerns about global climate change, and the resultant impacts on the operations and economic viability of generating plants in which PNM and Optim Energy have interests; the performance of generating units, including the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, the San Juan Generating Station, the Four Corners Power Plant, and Optim Energy generating units, transmission systems, and distribution systems, which could be negatively affected by major equipment failures, major weather disruptions, disruptions in fuel supply, and other significant operational issues; the risks associated with completion of generation, transmission, distribution, and other projects, including construction delays and unanticipated cost overruns; uncertainty regarding the requirements and related costs of decommissioning power plants owned or partially owned by PNM and Optim Energy and coal mines supplying certain PNM power plants, as well as the ability to recover decommissioning costs from customers; uncertainty surrounding the status of PNM’s participation in jointly-owned generation projects resulting from the scheduled expiration of the operational documents for the projects beginning in 2016 and potential changes in the objectives of the participants in the projects; the risk that recently enacted reliability standards regarding available transmission capacity may reduce certain PNM transmission rights used to transmit its generation resources and provide access to transmission customers resulting in a need to purchase additional transmission capacity, reduce sales of transmission capacity, or operate generation less economically; changes in Electric Reliability Council of Texas (“ERCOT”) protocols; changes in the cost of power acquired by First Choice Power and changes in the retail price of power in ERCOT; the ability of First Choice Power to attract and retain customers; collections experience; fluctuations in interest rates; weather; water supply; changes in fuel costs; availability of fuel supplies; the effectiveness of risk management and commodity risk transactions; seasonality and other changes in supply and demand in the market for electric power; the impact of mandatory energy efficiency measures on customer energy usage; variability of wholesale power prices and natural gas prices; volatility and liquidity in the wholesale power markets and the natural gas markets; uncertainty regarding the ongoing validity of government programs for emission allowances; changes in the competitive environment in the electric industry; the outcome of legal proceedings; the extent of insurance coverage available for claims made in litigation; changes in applicable accounting principles; and the performance of state, regional, and national economies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
PNM Resources (“the Company”) uses ongoing earnings and ongoing earnings per diluted share (or ongoing diluted earnings per share) and EBITDA (earnings before interest charges, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) and ongoing EBITDA 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. PNM Resources uses ongoing earnings guidance to provide investors with management's expectations of ongoing financial performance over the period presented. While PNM Resources believes ongoing earnings guidance is an appropriate measure, it is not a measure presented in accordance with GAAP. PNM Resources 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 earnings, nor their probable impact on GAAP earnings; therefore, management is generally not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for earnings guidance. In addition, PNM Resources uses forecasts of ongoing EBITDA and cash earnings guidance to provide investors with management's expectations of additional indicators of ongoing financial performance. Since forecasts of EBITDA and cash earnings are derived from forecasted ongoing earnings, management is not able reconcile these items to a GAAP equivalent.
