Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

2008 Earnings

On February 6, 2009, PNM Resources, Inc. (“PNMR” or the “Company”) announced unaudited preliminary 2008 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and on-going earnings (losses) and reported that it was in the process of determining whether additional impairment charges related to goodwill for First Choice Power would be recorded. The Company completed its impairment analysis and recorded a $39.4 million goodwill impairment charge to GAAP losses for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2008. In addition, the preliminary earnings information was subject to the year-end audit by the Company’s auditors and subject to final review and adjustment by the Company. The Company has completed its review and as a result made an additional adjustment to its previously reported preliminary results of operations for the quarter and year that resulted in an after-tax reduction of $1.7 million to GAAP and on-going earnings (losses).   This additional reduction is related to bad debt expense at First Choice Power primarily due to the current economic conditions in the Texas market and the impact of Hurricane Ike.  The above adjustments for PNMR have no effect on the financial statements of Public Service Company of New Mexico or Texas-New Mexico Power Company.

The impacts of these adjustments on quarterly and annual GAAP losses and on-going earnings  (losses) per diluted share, rounded to the nearest cent, are reflected below:

The Company provided quarterly and annual reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP earnings and earnings per diluted share by segment in its February 6, 2009 announcement and has included updated reconciliations in the attached Schedules 1 through 4.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report and other communications from the Company from time to time may include certain non- 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 earnings (loss), earnings (loss) per share, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”).  The Company uses ongoing earnings (loss), ongoing earnings (loss) per diluted share (or ongoing diluted earnings (loss) per share), ongoing EBITDA, and EBITDA to evaluate the operations of the Company and to establish goals for management and employees.  Certain non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company exclude the impact of non-recurring items, net unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on economic hedges, impairments of intangible assets, unrealized impairments on assets held in trusts for nuclear decommissioning, and the results of speculative trading. The Company’s management believes that 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 largely 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 with respect to 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.

Limitation on Incorporation by Reference
