Segmental Details

PNM reported earnings of 55 cents per share, up 57.1% from that registered in the year-ago quarter. This was due to higher market power prices and system demand, lower costs associated with generation portfolio changes and increased usage due to load growth.

TNMP recorded earnings of 11 cents per share, down 38.9% from the prior-year quarter’s figure. This was due to rate recovery through Transmission Cost of Service and Distribution Cost Recovery Factor increases. The uptick was more than offset by depreciation, property tax and interest expense associated with new capital investments, and higher planned O&M expenses.

Corporate and Other incurred a loss of 11 cents per share, wider than the year-ago quarter’s loss of 3 cents. This can be attributed to higher interest rates on variable rate debt.

Highlights of the Release

Total operating expenses came in at $445 million, up 18.3% from $376 million in the year-ago quarter.

Total operating income amounted to $99.1 million, up 45.5% from $68.1 million in the comparable period of 2022.

The merger agreement with AVANGRID has been further extended to Jul 20, 2023.

Guidance

PNM Resources affirmed its 2023 earnings per share (EPS) guidance in the range of $2.65-$2.75. The midpoint of the guided range is $2.70, higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.66.
