PNM Resources Reports Improved 2009 Second-Quarter Earnings
Friday, July 31, 2009 6:50 AM


(Source: Business Wire)trackingPNM Resources (NYSE: PNM) today reported unaudited 2009 second-quarter consolidated GAAP losses of $2.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with losses of $143.5 million, or $1.76 per diluted share, in 2008. Quarterly GAAP losses in 2009 reflect non-recurring items that had a net negative impact of $21.5 million. In 2008, GAAP losses reflected non-recurring items that had a net negative impact of $135.7 million.

Unaudited, consolidated ongoing earnings were $19.4 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared with ongoing losses of $7.8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in 2008. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures are shown in the attached schedules 1-8.

The 2008 implementation of new electric rates and a fuel and purchased power cost adjustment clause for PNM Electric, coupled with strong performance at First Choice Power, drove quarterly performance.

"Our utility operations are seeing some signs that the impact of the current recession is lessening," said Jeff Sterba, PNM Resources chairman and CEO. "Retail sales were hurt by unseasonably cool weather in New Mexico, but weather-adjusted load did not deteriorate at the pace we saw last quarter. And in Texas, overall electricity consumption rebounded a bit for TNMP."

Adjusted for weather, PNM retail load decreased 2.6 percent for the quarter, comparing 2009 with 2008. For TNMP, adjusted retail load increased slightly by 0.7 percent for the quarter, compared with the same period last year.

"Our focus on overall costs, as well as the implementation of new rates, allowed us to offset the impact of decreased loads in our regulated businesses," Sterba said.

"For the second straight quarter, First Choice Power delivered strong results that were fueled by lower power prices, increased retail margins and proactive steps taken to refocus operations," he said. "First Choice Power has implemented a number of initiatives to expand its commercial customer portfolio and focus on customer-credit standards to improve bad-debt expense. While progress has been made in addressing bad debt, it remains an unacceptably large cost on our residential sector. It is critical that these trends from the past two quarters continue for First Choice Power to sustain its momentum.

"Regarding our other unregulated business in Texas, Optim Energy recently added Cedar Bayou 4 to its generation fleet and the company is on pace to meet its EBITDA target for the year. Cedar Bayou 4 went online under budget, earlier than expected and increased Optim's portfolio to nearly 1,200 megawatts."

YEAR-TO-DATE RESULTS

For the first six months of 2009, PNM Resources reported unaudited consolidated GAAP earnings of $93.3 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, compared with losses of $192.1 million, or $2.42 per diluted share, in 2008. GAAP results in 2009 reflect various non-recurring items recorded in the first quarter, including the $72.8 million after-tax gain from the sale of the company's natural gas operations.

Unaudited, consolidated ongoing earnings for the first half of the year were $28.7 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared with ongoing losses of $4.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in 2008.

QUARTERLY SEGMENT REPORTING OF EARNINGS

Regulated Operations

PNM Electric -- a vertically integrated electric utility in New Mexico with distribution, transmission and generation assets.

Ongoing quarterly earnings were $9.7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared with $4.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in 2008. GAAP quarterly losses were $8.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared with losses of $47.1 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, in 2008.

Earnings were improved by higher electric base rates and the implementation of a fuel and purchase power cost adjustment clause.

GAAP losses in 2009 reflect an after-tax increase in legal reserves of $7.6 million and $16.1 million in after-tax regulatory disallowances, primarily associated with a regulatory liability from the 2009 PNM electric rate settlement approved in May that required customer refunds for past sales of SO2 emission allowances.

TNMP -- an electric transmission and distribution utility in Texas.

TNMP reported quarterly ongoing earnings of $2.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with $5.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in 2008. GAAP earnings were $1.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with losses of $28.8 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in 2008.

Higher interest costs associated with $315.5 million of new debt decreased earnings. These higher costs are reflected in the proposed TNMP rate increase currently pending before the Public Utilities Commission of Texas. Other factors that negatively affected earnings were cooler weather and retiree medical and pension expenses.

Unregulated Operations

First Choice Power -- a competitive retail electric provider in Texas.

First Choice Power reported ongoing earnings of $12.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared with losses of $13.0 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in 2008. GAAP earnings were $16.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared with 2008 losses of $60.4 million, or $0.74 per diluted share.

Lower power prices significantly improved average retail margins during the quarter. Margins are expected to return closer to traditional levels as wholesale markets stabilize.

Bad-debt expense increased $1.1 million to $10.1 million in 2009. Efforts to grow its retail commercial customer portfolio, increase focus on customer credit standards and improve customer service are expected to reduce bad-debt expense for the rest of the year, compared with 2008.

Optim Energy -- jointly owned by PNM Resources and a subsidiary of Cascade Investment, L.L.C. Optim Energy owns three generating assets in Texas, totaling nearly 1,200 megawatts.

PNM Resources' equity in Optim Energy quarterly net ongoing earnings was $0.3 million, compared with $2.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in 2008. PNM Resources' equity in the net GAAP losses of Optim Energy was $4.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with losses of $1.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in 2008.

PNM Resources' share of Optim Energy's ongoing quarterly EBITDA was $8.1 million, compared with $11.5 million in 2008. Depressed electricity prices, coupled with costs associated with outages at the Twin Oaks Power facility, reduced results.

Twin Oaks had an equivalent availability factor of 90.9 percent during the quarter. Altura Cogen produced an availability factor of 99.3 percent. Cedar Bayou 4 became commercially operational in ERCOT on June 24 and contributed $3.9 million to margin.

Corporate/Other -- a segment that reflects costs at the PNM Resources holding company, mainly comprised of interest expense related to debt. For the purposes of this news release, the Corporate/Other segment excludes the quarterly contribution of Optim Energy reported above.

Corporate/Other reported ongoing quarterly losses of $5.4 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared with losses of $7.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in 2008. GAAP losses were $4.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with 2008 losses of $8.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share.

A decrease in outstanding short- and long-term debt improved earnings.

2009 EARNINGS OUTLOOK

PNM Resources today affirmed its 2009 earnings outlook range of $0.40 to $0.55 per diluted share, which includes the impact of the recent PNM electric rate case settlement and the stipulated TNMP rate increase. Based on year-to-date performance, management expects year-end results to be in the higher end of the range and believes there is a potential to exceed the range.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

PNM Resources ("the Company") uses ongoing earnings and ongoing earnings per diluted share (or ongoing diluted earnings per share) and EBITDA (earnings before interest charges, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) to evaluate the operations of the Company and to establish goals 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 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.
