PNM Resources Reports Lower 2007 Earnings
PNM Resources (NYSE:PNM) today reported preliminary, unaudited 2007 consolidated ongoing earnings per diluted share of $1.08, compared with $1.78 per diluted share in 2006. The company also reported unaudited 2007 consolidated GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.98, compared with $1.71 in 2006.
“Our track record of providing strong total shareholder returns did not extend through to 2007,” said Jeff Sterba, PNM Resources chairman, president and CEO. “This is mainly due to rates in our New Mexico utility being well below the cost of providing service and absence of a fuel-adjustment clause, which would allow the recovery of substantially higher fuel and purchase power costs caused by rising fuel prices, increased loads and variability in base load generation availability. Clearly, our pending electric rate case in New Mexico is a crucial component of our efforts to restore the company’s healthy financial performance.”
In 2007, the PNM electric business earned an estimated 5.0 percent regulated return, based on a rate base of $1.4 billion and capital structure of 51.4 percent common equity.
“In addition, our competitive retail business, First Choice Power, had reduced earnings this year compared with an exceptional 2006,” Sterba said. “Earnings were lower because of the general uncertainty in the Texas market as numerous legislative issues were debated, the expiration of price-to-beat rates and the delayed transition to a new customer care system that impeded customer acquisition.”
Ongoing earnings exclude the impact of non-recurring items and net unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on economic hedges, as shown in attached Schedules 1 through 5. Earnings from discontinued operations also are included in ongoing earnings. Reconciliations of quarterly and year-end ongoing earnings to GAAP earnings for 2007 and 2006 are provided on accompanying Schedules 1 through 5.
Due to the pending sale of the PNM gas business, the company is reporting this segment as discontinued operations, which is required under GAAP. Certain corporate items that historically were allocated to the PNM Gas segment cannot be included as discontinued operations and were reassigned to PNM Electric, as discussed further in segment reporting. In addition, the company previously announced the pending sale of certain wholesale power, natural gas and transmission contracts as the first step of separating its unregulated electric activities from PNM the utility. Effective December 31, 2007, management changed the methodology it uses to operate and assess its business activities and no longer reports a separate Wholesale segment.
As previously announced, the Luna Energy Facility and Lordsburg Generating Station will be separated from PNM the utility by Jan. 1, 2010, as required by the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission. Those assets could be sold, moved to a different subsidiary or included in future retail rates if approved by regulators. Because the company’s share of Unit 3 at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station is excluded from the regulatory separation requirement, it can remain within PNM the utility and its power can continue to be sold on the wholesale market. Gross margin from these unregulated power plants is reported in the PNM Electric segment.
2007 FOURTH QUARTER CONSOLIDATED PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
Ongoing earnings were $8.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared with $36.7 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, in 2006. GAAP earnings were $18.1 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared with $35.3 million, or $0.48 per diluted share.
Lower power plant availability reduced quarterly earnings per diluted share by $0.18, compared with the same period in 2006. All three of the company’s base load power facilities fell short of equivalent availability factors needed to reach the previously stated earnings per share target range. The San Juan Generating Station had a quarterly EAF of 61.2 percent, well below the company’s target of 85.0 percent. Improved availability of the plant is expected as major overhauls of two units will be completed within the next 15 months. Palo Verde had an EAF of 55.8 percent, also below PNM Resources’ target of 80.0 percent. Palo Verde has concluded its final complex steam generator replacement outage and focus will turn to implementation of the plant’s improvement program. In December, outages reduced the Four Corners Plant’s quarterly EAF to 89.6 percent, which was short of its planned 92.0 percent level.
Reduced plant performance resulted in increased power purchase costs and reduced wholesale opportunities. In addition, mild New Mexico temperatures in October and early November resulted in 10 percent fewer heating-degree days in PNM’s gas service territory.
YEAR-END CONSOLIDATED PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
For the year, ongoing earnings totaled $84.2 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, compared with $125.4 million, or $1.78 per diluted share, in 2006. GAAP earnings for the year totaled $76.3 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, compared with $120.8 million, or $1.71 per diluted share, in 2006.
Following three consecutive years of record performance, plant availability at San Juan was reduced and finished the year with an EAF of 80.4 percent, compared with 89.6 percent in 2006. Palo Verde had improved performance for the year with an EAF of 77.3 percent, compared with 70.0 percent in 2006. Four Corners also had reduced availability of 78.5 percent, compared with 90.5 percent in 2006. Overall, plant availability reduced PNM Resources consolidated earnings per diluted share by $0.11 in 2007, compared with 2006.
Reduced wholesale opportunities for PNM electric operations and increased costs to serve retail customers, including higher coal and purchase power costs, negatively impacted diluted earnings per share an additional $0.11, comparing 2007 with 2006. A 10.3 percent increase in average number of common shares outstanding reduced diluted earnings per share by $0.17, comparing 2007 with 2006.
Regarding its unregulated electric operations, First Choice Power average retail margins were reduced as the Texas market eliminated price-to-beat rates in January 2007 and all customers shifted to competitive pricing. Trading margins for First Choice resulted in losses in 2007, following a strong year in 2006.
YEAR-END SEGMENT REPORTING OF EARNINGS
PNM Electric — a vertically integrated electric utility in New Mexico with distribution, transmission and generation assets. This segment includes certain wholesale activities that were previously shown as a separate segment.
Ongoing earnings were $34.5 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared with $57.4 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, in 2006.
PNM Electric reported 2007 GAAP earnings of $23.3 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared with $57.6 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, in 2006. Certain corporate items that historically were allocated to the PNM Gas segment cannot be included as discontinued operations under GAAP. Therefore, those charges totaling $6.4 million and $6.3 million after tax have been reallocated to PNM Electric in reported results for 2007 and 2006, respectively, as shown in Schedules 2 and 4.
Less availability at base load coal plants, reduced wholesale activity and increased costs to serve jurisdictional load more than offset the benefits of the transfer of TNMP-New Mexico operations to PNM and weather-normalized load growth of 1.9 percent. Increased interest expense, higher coal costs and additional shares outstanding also lowered earnings per share.
Gross margin associated with the company’s unregulated power plants — Palo Verde Unit 3, the Luna Energy Facility and the Lordsburg Generating Station — was $42.1 million in 2007, compared with $53.8 million in 2006, based on an average price of short-term power sales.
The PNM electric business earned an estimated 5.0 percent regulated return, based on a rate base of $1.4 billion and capital structure of 51.4 percent common equity.
TNMP — a transmission and distribution company in Texas.
TNMP reported ongoing earnings of $18.9 million, or $0.24 per diluted share. GAAP earnings were $18.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share. In 2006, TNMP reported ongoing earnings and GAAP earnings of $15.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share.
The collection of the competitive transition charge, colder weather and reduced financing costs more than offset the impacts of the transfer of New Mexico operations to PNM and additional shares outstanding.
TNMP earned an estimated 6.7 percent regulated return, based on a rate base of $0.4 billion and capital structure of 40.0 percent common equity.
First Choice Power — a competitive retail electric provider in Texas.
First Choice Power reported ongoing earnings of $26.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared with $41.4 million, or $0.59 per diluted share in 2006.
GAAP earnings were $27.2 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared with $40.0 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, in 2006.
Average retail margin per megawatt-hour decreased to $23.47 from $28.61 in 2006. The decrease mainly was caused by the shift from price-to-beat rates to competitive pricing.
Trading margins reflect losses of $3.6 million, compared with gains of $9.3 million in 2006. The losses were driven mainly by a decrease in value of market positions caused by lower market heat rates and lower natural gas prices.
Altura Energy — an entity that acquired the Twin Oaks Power facility in April 2006. On June 1, 2007, PNM Resources contributed Altura to the EnergyCo joint venture at fair-market value of approximately $550 million after working capital adjustments. At the time of the contribution, PNM Resources received a cash distribution equal to 50 percent of Altura’s fair market value, or approximately $275 million.
Altura reported 2007 ongoing earnings of $7.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share. GAAP earnings were $5.2 million, of $0.06 per diluted share. Altura reported ongoing and GAAP earnings of $23.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted share in 2006.
Altura’s 2006 results include approximately nine months of earnings associated with the Twin Oaks Power facility after its April acquisition, including allocations of corporate costs and interest expense associated with the $480 million bridge loan undertaken to fund the purchase of the plant. Altura’s 2007 results were significantly lower than 2006, as only five months of 100 percent earnings associated with the Twin Oaks Power facility are included prior to its contribution to the EnergyCo joint venture. The results from the five months of full ownership in 2007 also include allocations of corporate costs and interest expense associated with the $249.5 million remaining on the bridge loan after its balance was reduced with the proceeds from a December 2006 stock issuance.
During the approximately nine months of Altura ownership in 2006, the Twin Oaks Power facility had an EAF of 88.0 percent, compared with 84.2 percent during the five months fully owned by Altura in 2007, further resulting in reduced earnings.
EnergyCo — a business segment that is comprised of the joint venture between PNM Resources and a subsidiary of Cascade Investment, L.L.C. EnergyCo owns two generating assets, Twin Oaks and Altura Cogen, a natural gas facility acquired on Aug. 1, 2007.
EnergyCo contributed $4.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, to consolidated GAAP and ongoing earnings in 2007.
Before service company charges and interest expense, EnergyCo earnings contributed $0.16 per diluted share to PNM Resources. Strong plant performance was one component of the earnings contribution as the Twin Oaks Power facility had an EAF of 89.8 percent and the Altura Cogen facility produced a 94.4 percent availability. Service company charges, which include start-up costs associated with the joint venture, and interest expense reduced this contribution to PNM Resources by $0.10 per diluted share.
Corporate/Other — a business segment that reflects costs at the PNM Resources holding company, comprised mainly of interest expense related to certain short-term debt and existing equity-linked securities.
Corporate/Other reported ongoing losses of $24.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared with losses of $25.8 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, in 2006.
GAAP losses were $17.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared with losses of $29.2 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, in 2006. Losses in 2007 were lower than 2006 as a result of non-recurring items, as shown in Schedules 2 through 5.
Discontinued Operations
PNM Gas — a natural gas utility with distribution and transmission assets.
PNM Gas reported 2007 ongoing earnings of $16.4 million, or $0.21 per diluted share. GAAP earnings were $15.5 million, or $0.20 per diluted share. PNM Gas reported ongoing and GAAP earnings of $12.9 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in 2006.
Certain corporate items that historically were allocated to the PNM Gas segment cannot be included as discontinued operations under GAAP. Therefore, those charges totaling $6.4 million and $6.3 million after tax have been reallocated to PNM Electric in reported results for 2007 and 2006, respectively, as shown in Schedules 2 and 4.
Colder weather, mainly during the first quarter, customer growth of 1.9 percent and the implementation of new delivery rates more than offset the impact of dilution.
The PNM gas operations earned an estimated 5.2 percent regulated return, based on a rate base of $0.4 billion and capital structure of 51.8 percent common equity.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
PNM Resources (“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. Additionally, the Company uses a return on rate base (“regulated return”) to evaluate the operations of each of its regulated business segments. 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.
As defined within this release, ongoing earnings and ongoing earnings per diluted share exclude the impact of non-recurring items and net unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on economic hedges. Reconciliations of quarterly and year-end ongoing earnings to GAAP earnings for 2007 and 2006 are provided on accompanying Schedules 1 through 5.
Regulated return measures the regulated earnings contribution of a business segment as a percentage of the portion of its rate base deemed financed by common equity. Regulated return is calculated by dividing ongoing earnings for the regulated portion of the business segment, as adjusted, by the common equity portion of its estimated rate base, based on a defined capital structure. PNM Resources believes rate base to be a measure that is required by the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (NMPRC) and the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT), and does not believe rate base to be comparable to a GAAP measure. The calculation of regulated return for the Company’s regulated business segments, along with a calculation of adjusted ongoing earnings, are presented on the accompanying Schedule 6.
