Statements made in this news release that relate to future events or PNM Resources' ("PNMR"), Public Service Company of New Mexico's ("PNM"), or Texas-New Mexico Power Company's ("TNMP") (collectively, the "Company") expectations, projections, estimates, intentions, goals, targets, and strategies are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Because actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, PNMR, PNM, and TNMP caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements. PNMR's, PNM's, and TNMP's business, financial condition, cash flow, and operating results are influenced by many factors, which are often beyond their control, that can cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses ongoing earnings, ongoing earnings per diluted share (or ongoing diluted earnings per share), earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and funds from operations (FFO) to debt 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. The Company uses ongoing earnings, EBITDA and FFO to debt guidance to provide investors with management's expectations of ongoing financial performance over the period presented. While the Company believes ongoing earnings, EBITDA and FFO to debt guidance are appropriate measures, these are not measures presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not intend for ongoing earnings, EBITDA and FFO to debt guidance to represent expectations of net earnings or operating cash flow as defined by GAAP. Management is generally not able to estimate the impact of the reconciling items between ongoing earnings, EBITDA and FFO to debt guidance and forecasted GAAP earnings or operating cash flows, nor their probable impact on GAAP earnings or operating cash flow; therefore, management is generally not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for ongoing earnings, EBITDA and FFO to debt guidance.
