(ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.) - PNM Resources (NYSE: PNM) today released the company’s 2014 third quarter earnings results. In addition, management affirmed its 2014 consolidated ongoing earnings guidance range of $1.44 to $1.51 per diluted share.
“This was another solid quarter for the company, with consistent financial performance and important constructive regulatory developments,” said Pat Vincent-Collawn, PNM Resources’ chairman, president and CEO. “Growth from the strong Texas economy is helping balance the challenges associated with a still-recovering New Mexico market. We’ve also made regulatory progress in New Mexico. Specifically, the San Juan Generating Station plan is moving forward, following recent EPA approval. We are now focused on obtaining New Mexico Public Regulation Commission sign-off on a settlement agreement reached with several key participating parties. I’m pleased that we continue to move forward with initiatives designed to better serve our customers and build a cleaner, balanced generation portfolio.”

PNM Resources Reports Q3 Earnings 10-31-14 p. 2 of 3
• | PNM’s ongoing earnings benefitted from the purchase of the Delta Person Generating Station (renamed the Rio Bravo Generating Station), higher market prices for Palo Verde unit 3, nuclear decommissioning trust gains, and a 2013 contribution made to the Navajo Workforce Training Initiative that did not recur in 2014. These were partially offset by increased depreciation and property tax expense, the termination of the Gallup FERC generation contract, and unseasonably cooler weather. |

• | TNMP’s ongoing earnings benefitted from rate relief, increased load and we again exceeded our Energy Efficiency goal, which resulted in a bonus payment awarded in 2014 for 2013 results. These gains were partially offset by unseasonably cooler weather. |
Corporate and Other - a segment that reflects costs at the PNM Resources holding company, mainly comprised of interest expense related to debt.

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.
