(a) Diluted shares used to calculate on-going earnings per share assume that 3,910,000 shares of PNM Resources common stock issued in March 2005 for TNP acquisition financing instead were issued June 6, 2005, the closing date of the TNP acquisition.
2005 FULL-YEAR PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
Ongoing earnings per diluted share for 2005 were $1.57, up from $1.43 for 2004. GAAP net earnings for 2005 were reduced to $1.00 per diluted share from $1.43 per diluted share in 2004. In addition to the items highlighted below, the company incurred acquisition-related and other non-recurring charges of $0.57 per diluted share. Consolidated gross margin (operating revenues less cost of energy) for 2005 increased $143.4 million, or 21.7 percent, to $802.9 million, compared to $659.5 million in 2004.
The growth in ongoing earnings was influenced by the additions of TNMP and First Choice Power and continued load growth in PNM’s regulated utility operations.
The increase in ongoing earnings was offset in part by unscheduled and extended outages at Palo Verde and increased purchased power costs, caused by increased load and higher gas prices.
Ongoing earnings per diluted share were impacted by $0.30 as a result of increased finance charges that included interest expense from the issuance of equity units and the dilution effect of newly issued common stock shares related to the purchase of TNP Enterprises, as well as increased interest expense from higher commercial paper borrowings. Increased depreciation expense from utility plant additions also decreased ongoing earnings.
FOURTH QUARTER PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
Ongoing earnings for the final three months of 2005 grew 40 percent to $0.42 per diluted share, up from $0.30 per diluted share over the same period in 2004. GAAP earnings fell to $0.10 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2005, compared to $0.30 per diluted share for the same period in 2004. The reduction in GAAP earnings was driven by acquisition-related and other non-recurring charges of $0.32 per diluted share.
The San Juan plant reached an equivalent availability factor of 92.0 percent for the quarter. However, San Juan’s performance was more than offset by disappointing performance at Palo Verde, where the extension of the Unit 1 planned refueling outage and forced outages for Units 2 and 3 resulted in approximately 1,100 more outage hours, compared with the same period in 2004. The three units at Palo Verde combined for an equivalent availability factor of 59.8 percent during the quarter, resulting in additional wholesale purchases and reduced sales for the third straight quarter.
First Choice Power experienced a solid quarter, contributing $29.6 million in gross margin. The price-to-beat fuel factor adjustment, effective in late October 2005, gas hedges and successful participation in the annual capacity auction contributed to increased sales margins.
SEGMENT REPORTING
In conjunction with the TNP Enterprises acquisition, management changed its business segment reporting. As it currently operates, PNM Resources’ principal business segments include regulated and non-regulated operations. Segment highlights follow:
Regulated Operations
PNM - a natural gas and vertically integrated electric utility in New Mexico with distribution, transmission and generation assets.
Electric:
| · | PNM electric operations reported 2005 operating revenues of $574.0 million, a 2.8 percent increase over 2004. Gross margin decreased 3.5 percent to $400.2 million. |
| · | A 2.5 percent increase in load growth in 2005, driven by 5.1 percent residential load growth, resulted in a $14.0 million increase in revenues. The 2.5 percent electric rate decrease that went into effect in September - the last phase of the rate path established in 2002 - reduced revenues by $3.8 million. Decreased plant availability, combined with increased fuel and purchased power costs, due to an increasing load and higher gas prices, reduced margin by $24.5 million. |
| · | For the quarter, operating revenues increased 1.2 percent to $138.1 million, compared to the same period in 2004. Increases due to load growth and warmer weather were partially offset by the impact of the September rate reduction. San Juan performance partially offset the $3.6 million cost of outages at Palo Verde, but increased, higher-priced purchased power required to serve the growing load contributed to a decrease in gross margin. |
Gas:
| · | PNM gas operations reported 2005 operating revenues of $511.4 million, a 4.2 percent increase over 2004. Gross margin for the same period was relatively flat compared with 2004, ending at $147.2 million. |
| · | Increased revenue due to the 7.5 percent residential gas delivery rate increase implemented in 2004 and a 2.2 percent increase in customer growth for the year partially offset the effects a 4.7 percent decrease in heating degree days and customer conservation. |
| · | For the quarter, gross margin decreased 9.1 percent to $42.1 million, compared to the same period in 2004, again, largely due to warmer weather and customer conservation. |
TNMP Electric - a vertically integrated electric utility in New Mexico and a transmission-distribution company in Texas.
| · | TNMP Electric reported operating revenues of $154.3 million and gross margin of $96.3 million in the period reported after the acquisition of TNP Enterprises on June 6, 2005. |
| · | For the full year, operating revenues were $267.2 million, a decrease of less than 1 percent, compared with 2004. Gross margin decreased 1.8 percent to $165.3 million for the year. |
| · | A $10.5 million decrease in revenues as a result of the May 2005 Texas rate reduction and synergy savings passed to customers were almost completely offset by a 1.7 percent increase in customer growth and the positive impacts of warmer weather during the summer and fall. |
| · | For the fourth quarter, TNMP added $63.7 million of operating revenues and $38.1 million of gross margin. Compared with the same pre-acquisition period of 2004, the effects of the May rate decrease and synergy savings passed to customers drove a decrease in operating revenues of 6.7 percent and gross margin of 5.8 percent. |
Unregulated Operations
PNM Wholesale - a business segment of PNM consisting of the generation and sale of electricity into the wholesale markets.
| · | PNM Wholesale reported 2005 operating revenues of $628.0 million, an increase of 6.8 percent compared with 2004. Gross margin decreased $10.9 million to $85.5 million in 2005, compared with 2004. |
| · | Total cost of energy increased 10.3 percent to $542.5 million in 2005, from $491.8 million in 2004. |
| · | Palo Verde outages resulted in an estimated $6.9 million decrease to gross margin for the year. Plant outages resulted in higher purchase costs and reduced short-term and forward sales. |
| · | For the quarter, gross margin remained relatively flat compared to the same period in 2004. Increased sales volumes and market prices were offset by higher costs to serve these sales, driven mainly by Palo Verde outages and increased purchase power costs. |
First Choice Power - a competitive retail electric provider in Texas.
| · | During the seven months of the year following the acquisition of TNP Enterprises, First Choice Power reported operating revenues of $316.3 million and gross margin of $73.3 million. |
| · | For the full year, First Choice Power reported a 3.4 percent increase in gross margin to $98.5 million. |
| · | Participation in the annual capacity auction in October resulted in a $4.2 million gain. Natural gas hedges and a fuel factor adjustment on price-to-beat rates partially offset increased purchased power costs that resulted from hurricane-related spikes in gas prices. |
| · | For the quarter, First Choice Power reported operating revenues of $117.8 million, a 2.0 percent increase compared with the same pre-acquisition period in 2004. The $29.6 million of gross margin earned during the fourth quarter more than doubled from the $12.2 million earned during the same pre-acquisition period in 2004, driven mainly by natural gas hedging, lower transmission costs and gains from capacity auction participation. |
2006 EARNINGS GUIDANCE
PNM Resources today also provided earnings guidance for 2006. The company estimates ongoing earnings, excluding acquisition-related and other non-recurring charges, will range between $1.65 and $1.90.
Earnings variability within the expected range will be affected by a number of factors, including:
| · | Power plant performance. |
| · | First Choice Power natural gas hedging, future price-to-beat customer rate changes, customer attrition and competitive customer growth. |
| · | Electric load growth and gas customer growth. |
| · | Natural gas prices and wholesale electricity prices. |
| · | Twin Oaks earnings accretion. |
This earnings guidance includes the effects of warmer weather during January 2006 and the potential effects of the proposed acquisition of Twin Oaks and Palo Verde performance levels.
CAPITAL FORECAST
PNM Resources estimates capital spending for the period 2006 through 2010 will be $1.54 billion, with capital spending for 2006 of $407 million. The capital plan includes expenditures necessary for utility and generation additions to serve customer and load growth in PNM's and TNMP’s service territories, emission-reduction projects at San Juan and the Four Corners Plant and replacement of a steam generator at Palo Verde.
