Item 2.02Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On April 27, 2018, PNM Resources, Inc., Public Service Company of New Mexico, and Texas-New Mexico Power Company (collectively, the “Company”) issued a press release announcing results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018. 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 financial measures that are not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). 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, on an ongoing basis, of revenues, operating expenses, operating income, other income and deductions, earnings, and earnings per share. The Company uses ongoing earnings and ongoing earnings per diluted share (or ongoing diluted earnings per share) to evaluate the operations of the Company and to establish goals, including those used for certain aspects of incentive compensation, for management and employees. Certain non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company exclude the impact of net unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on economic hedges, the net change in unrealized gains and losses on investment securities, pension expense related to previously disposed of gas distribution business, and certain non-recurring, infrequent, and other items. 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 from or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company uses ongoing earnings guidance to provide investors with management's expectations of ongoing financial performance over the period presented. While the Company believes ongoing earnings guidance is an appropriate measure, it is not a measure presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not intend for ongoing earnings guidance to represent an expectation of net earnings as defined by GAAP. Since the future differences between GAAP and ongoing earnings are frequently outside the control of the Company, management is generally not able to estimate the impact of the reconciling items between forecasted GAAP earnings and ongoing earnings guidance, nor their probable impact on GAAP earnings; therefore, management is generally not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for forecasted ongoing earnings guidance. Reconciling items may include revenues and expenses resulting from transactions that do not occur in the normal course of the Company's business operations, as well as net unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on economic hedges, the net change in unrealized gains and losses on investment securities, and pension expense related to previously disposed of gas distribution business as discussed above.

Limitation on Incorporation by Reference

In accordance with general instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this report, including exhibits, is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section and not deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933.

(ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.) –PNM Resources (NYSE: PNM) today released the company’s 2018 first quarter results.In addition, management affirmed its consolidated ongoing earnings guidance of $1.82 to $1.92 per diluted share for 2018 and $2.04 to $2.16 per diluted share for 2019.

• In the first quarter of 2018, PNM’s GAAP and ongoing earnings reflect the retail generation portfolio changes approved in the BART settlement and lower tax expense as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA), both of which were incorporated into the revised retail rates phased-in beginning February 2018.

• Earnings were also impacted in the first quarter of 2018 by increased planned outage costs at the Four Corners Power Plant resulting from the installation of SCR equipment, depreciation and property tax expenses from new capital investments and lower decommissioning and reclamation trust gains. These reductions were partially offset by increased usage from temperatures that were closer to normal than during the first quarter of 2017, and new third-party transmission contracts.

TNMP – an electric transmission and distribution utility in Texas.

TNMP (In millions, except EPS)

	Q1 2018	Q1 2017
GAAP net earnings attributable to PNM Resources	$9.4	$7.6
GAAP diluted EPS	$0.12	$0.09
Ongoing net earnings	$9.4	$7.6
Ongoing diluted EPS	$0.12	$0.09

• TNMP’s GAAP and ongoing earnings were higher in the first quarter of 2018 due to increased transmission rate relief, higher load and colder temperatures. Earnings also increased due to lower income tax expense associated with the TCJA for the first twenty-five days of January prior to the Public Utility Commission of Texas order requiring deferral of these savings. This was partially offset by increased depreciation and property tax expenses resulting from additional capital investments.

Corporate and Other – a segment that reflects the PNM Resources holding company and other subsidiaries.

Corporate and Other (In millions, except EPS)

	Q1 2018	Q1 2017
GAAP net earnings (loss) attributable to PNM Resources	$(2.1)	$(1.3)
GAAP diluted EPS	$(0.03)	$(0.01)
Ongoing net earnings (loss)	$(2.0)	$(1.2)
Ongoing diluted EPS	$(0.03)	$(0.01)

• Corporate and Other’s GAAP and ongoing earnings were lower in the first quarter of 2018 due to higher interest rates and the issuance of $300.0 million of senior unsecured notes at 3.25% in March 2018 to reduce variable rate debt exposure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. Ongoing earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of net unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on economic hedges, the net change in unrealized gains and losses on investment securities, pension expense related to previously disposed of gas distribution business, and certain non-recurring, infrequent, and other items that are not indicative of fundamental changes in the earnings capacity of the Company's operations. The Company uses ongoing earnings and ongoing earnings per diluted share (or ongoing diluted earnings per share) to evaluate the operations of the Company and to establish goals, including those used for certain aspects of incentive compensation, 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 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 guidance to provide investors with management's expectations of ongoing financial performance over the period presented. While the Company believes ongoing earnings guidance is an appropriate measure, it is not a measure presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not intend for ongoing earnings guidance to represent an expectation of net earnings as defined by GAAP. Since the future differences between GAAP and ongoing earnings are frequently outside the control of the Company, management is generally not able to estimate the impact of the reconciling items between forecasted GAAP net earnings and ongoing earnings guidance, nor their probable impact on GAAP net earnings without unreasonable effort, therefore, management is generally not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for ongoing earnings guidance. Reconciliations between GAAP and ongoing earnings are contained in schedules 1-2.
