Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On November 2, 2006, PNM Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its preliminary unaudited results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
The Company’s press release and other communications from time to time may include certain non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company’s financial statements.
Non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company include presentations of revenues, operating expenses, operating income, other income and deductions, net income, earnings per share and other GAAP measures of operating performance that exclude or include the effect of litigation settlements, accounting or regulatory changes, the restructuring of selected operations, certain merger activities and other similar events. The Company’s management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors by removing the effect of variances in GAAP reported results of operations that are not indicative of fundamental changes in the earnings capacity of the Company’s operations. Management also believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with its past practice, as well as industry practice in general, and will enable investors and analysts to compare current non-GAAP measures with non-GAAP measures presented in prior periods. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Also, in providing ongoing earnings guidance, there could be differences between ongoing earnings and GAAP earnings for matters such as, but not limited to, acquisition integration costs. Company management is generally not able to estimate the impact, if any, on GAAP earnings of such items. Therefore, the Company is generally not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for earnings guidance.
Limitation on Incorporation by Reference
