(ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.) PNM Resources (NYSE: PNM) today released the company’s 2018 second quarter results. In addition, management raised its consolidated ongoing earnings guidance to $1.91 to $1.98 per diluted share for 2018 and $2.08 to $2.18 per diluted share for 2019.

“We have raised 2018 and 2019 guidance based on higher load growth trends at PNM and continued strong demand at TNMP. In addition, hotter temperatures increased second quarter earnings,” said Pat Vincent-Collawn, PNM Resources’ chairman, president and CEO. “At TNMP, we have increased capital spending in 2018 to serve their growing needs. Plans for capital spending beyond 2018 will be further evaluated as we progress through the year.”

In the second quarter of 2018, PNM’s GAAP and ongoing earnings reflect the retail generation portfolio changes approved in the BART settlement and lower tax expense as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA), both of which were incorporated into the revised retail rates phased-in beginning February 2018.
Earnings were also impacted in the second quarter of 2018 due to the addition of new third-party transmission contracts, increased customer usage caused by higher temperatures and load growth. These increases were offset by higher costs associated with the planned outage to install SCR equipment at the Four Corners Power Plant and moving a planned outage at the San Juan Generating Station from the fourth quarter to the second quarter, depreciation and property tax expenses from new capital investments and lower gains from the decommissioning and reclamation trusts.

Earnings were increased by transmission rate relief, load growth and higher temperatures. This was partially offset by increased depreciation and property tax expenses resulting from additional capital investments.

Corporate and Other’s GAAP and ongoing earnings were lower in the second quarter of 2018 due to higher interest rates and the issuance of $300.0 million of 3.25% senior unsecured notes in March 2018 that reduced variable rate debt exposure. Earnings were also lower due to the early repayment of loan agreements associated with Westmoreland Coal Company, resulting in lower net interest income.

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 1-4.
