GAAP net earnings attributable to PNM Resources	$113.3	$121.8	$184.6	$164.0

PNM Resources (NYSE:PNM) today released its 2021 third quarter results. Additionally, based on the completion of the third quarter and the continued expectation for the pending merger with AVANGRID to close during the fourth quarter, ongoing earnings guidance for 2021 has been withdrawn.

"Our third quarter financial results reflect continued growth in transmission demand to support grid reliability," said Pat Vincent-Collawn, PNM Resources' chairman, president and CEO. "As we await the final required regulatory approval on our merger with AVANGRID from the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission, we remain focused on meeting the needs of our customers and communities today and in the future. We continue to expect the merger to close in 2021."

UPDATE ON MERGER AGREEMENT

On October 21, 2020, PNM Resources announced an agreement to enter into a merger with AVANGRID, approved by shareholders in February 2021. Under the terms of the proposed merger, PNM Resources shareholders will receive $50.30 in cash for each share of PNM Resources common stock held at closing. The transaction is pending approval from the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission, which is expected to address the application in the coming weeks. The transaction has received regulatory approval from all other required federal and state agencies. PNM Resources continues to anticipate that the closing of the merger will occur in 2021, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the remaining customary conditions to closing.

EPS Results by Segment

	GAAP Diluted EPS		Ongoing Diluted EPS
	Q3 2021	Q3 2020	Q3 2021	Q3 2020
PNM	$1.01	$1.24	$1.05	$1.12
TNMP	$0.33	$0.30	$0.33	$0.30
Corporate and Other	($0.02)	($0.02)	($0.01)	($0.02)

Consolidated PNM Resources	$1.32	$1.52	$1.37	$1.40

Net changes to GAAP and ongoing earnings in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020 include:

PNM: Higher transmission margins resulting from increased demand on the transmission system and the addition of a new customer, higher decommissioning and reclamation trust realized gains and interest savings from refinancing of debt at lower interest rates increased earnings. These increases were partially offset by planned increases in operational spending, the expiration of a state income tax amortization and higher property tax resulting from additional capital investments and reduced retail load compared to record-high temperatures in the third quarter of 2020. The net increase in ongoing earnings was offset by the dilutive impact of additional shares.
TNMP: Rate relief from Distribution Cost of Service (DCOS) and Transmission Cost of Service (TCOS) increases were partially offset by higher depreciation and property tax expenses resulting from additional capital investments and the dilutive impact of additional shares.
Corporate and Other: Losses were reduced by the interest savings from repayment of debt with proceeds from additional shares issued in December 2020.

GAAP earnings were also lower as a result of net changes in unrealized gains on investment securities for decommissioning and reclamation trusts in 2020.

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.

Additionally, there are risks and uncertainties in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Company (the "Merger") by AVANGRID which may adversely affect the Company's business, future opportunities, employees and common stock, including without limitation, (i) the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the pending Merger, including the timing, receipt and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory approvals of the pending Merger that could reduce anticipated benefits or cause the parties to abandon the transaction, (ii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, (iii) the risk that the parties may not be able to satisfy the conditions to the proposed Merger in a timely manner or at all, (iv) risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed Merger, and (v) the risk that the proposed transaction and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of the Company to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with its customers and suppliers, and on its operating results and businesses generally.

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 1-5.
