811,000 residential, commercial, and industrial customers and end-users of
electricity in New Mexico and Texas. PNMR's electric utilities are PNM and TNMP.
PNMR strives to create a clean and bright energy future for customers,
communities, and shareholders. PNMR's strategy and decision-making are focused
on safely providing reliable, affordable, and environmentally responsible power
built on a foundation of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles.

Recent Developments

Merger

On October 20, 2020, PNMR, Avangrid and Merger Sub entered into the Merger
Agreement pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into PNMR, with PNMR
surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Avangrid. Pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of PNMR common stock at the
Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive $50.30 in cash. The
proposed Merger has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of
PNMR, Avangrid and Merger Sub and approved by PNMR shareholders at the Special
Meeting of Shareholders held on February 12, 2021.

The Merger Agreement provided that it may be terminated by each of PNMR and
Avangrid under certain circumstances, including if the Effective Time shall not
have occurred by the January 20, 2022 End Date; however, either PNMR or Avangrid
could extend the End Date to April 20, 2022 if all conditions to closing have
been satisfied other than the obtaining of all required regulatory approvals. As
discussed below, on December 8, 2021, the NMPRC issued an order rejecting the
stipulation agreement relating to the Merger. In light of the NMPRC ruling, on
January 3, 2022, PNMR, Avangrid and Merger Sub entered into an Amendment to the
Merger Agreement pursuant to which PNMR and Avangrid agreed to extend the End
Date to April 20, 2023.

The Merger is subject to certain regulatory approvals, including from the NMPRC.
The Joint Applicants to the NMPRC application and a number of intervening
parties had entered into an amended stipulation and agreement in the Joint
Application for approval of Merger pending before the NMPRC. An evidentiary
hearing was held in August 2021. On November 1, 2021, a Certification of
Stipulation was issued by the hearing examiner, which recommended against
approval of the amended stipulation. On December 8, 2021, the NMPRC issued an
order adopting the Certification of Stipulation, rejecting the amended
stipulation reached by the parties. On January 3, 2022, PNMR and Avangrid filed
a notice of appeal with the NM Supreme Court. On February 2, 2022, PNMR and
Avangrid filed a statement of issues outlining the argument for appeal. On April
7, 2022, PNMR and Avangrid filed their Brief in Chief with the NM Supreme Court.
Answer briefs from the NMPRC were filed on June 14, 2022, and response briefs
are due August 5, 2022.

With respect to other regulatory proceedings related to the Merger, in 2021 PNMR
received clearances for the Merger from the FTC under the HSR Act, CFIUS, the
FCC, FERC, the PUCT, and the NRC. As a result of the delay in closing of the
Merger due to the need to obtain NMPRC approval, PNMR and Avangrid were required
to make a new filing under the HSR Act and request extensions of approvals
previously received from the FCC and NRC. On February 9, 2022, the request for
extension was filed with the NRC and an order granting a one-year extension was
received on May 10, 2022. On February 24, 2022, the requests for a 180-day
extension were granted by the FCC. PNMR and Avangrid expect to make a new filing
under the HSR Act later in 2022. No additional approvals are required from
CFIUS, FERC or the PUCT.

Consummation of the Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of
certain customary closing conditions, including, without limitation, the absence
of any material adverse effect on PNMR, the receipt of required regulatory
approval from the NMPRC, and the agreements relating to the divestiture of Four
Corners being in full force and effect and all applicable
                                       81

regulatory filings associated therewith being made. The agreement relating to
the divestiture of Four Corners has been entered into and is in full effect and
related filings have been made with the NMPRC.

Financial and Business Objectives
PNMR is focused on achieving three key financial objectives:

•Earning authorized returns on regulated businesses •Delivering at or above industry-average earnings and dividend growth •Maintaining investment grade credit ratings

In conjunction with these objectives, PNM and TNMP are dedicated to:

•Maintaining strong employee safety, plant performance, and system reliability
•Delivering a superior customer experience
•Demonstrating environmental stewardship in business operations, including
transitioning to an emissions-free generating portfolio by 2040
•Supporting the communities in their service territories

Earning Authorized Returns on Regulated Businesses

PNMR's success in accomplishing its financial objectives is highly dependent on
two key factors: fair and timely regulatory treatment for its utilities and the
utilities' strong operating performance. The Company has multiple strategies to
achieve favorable regulatory treatment, all of which have as their foundation a
focus on the basics: safety, operational excellence, and customer satisfaction,
while engaging stakeholders to build productive relationships. Both PNM and TNMP
seek cost recovery for their investments through general rate cases, periodic
cost of service filings, and various rate riders.

Fair and timely rate treatment from regulators is crucial to PNM and TNMP in
earning their allowed returns and critical for PNMR to achieve its financial
objectives. PNMR believes that earning allowed returns is viewed positively by
credit rating agencies and that improvements in the Company's ratings could
lower costs to utility customers.

The rates PNM and TNMP charge customers are subject to traditional rate
regulation by the NMPRC, FERC, and the PUCT. Additional information about rate
filings is provided in Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

The Energy Transition Act ("ETA")

On June 14, 2019, Senate Bill 489, known as the ETA, became effective. The ETA
amends the REA and requires utilities operating in New Mexico to have renewable
portfolios equal to 20% by 2020, 40% by 2025, 50% by 2030, 80% by 2040, and 100%
zero-carbon energy by 2045. The ETA also amends sections of the REA to allow for
the recovery of undepreciated investments and decommissioning costs related to
qualifying EGUs that the NMPRC has required be removed from retail
jurisdictional rates, provided replacement resources to be included in retail
rates have lower or zero-carbon emissions. The ETA provides for a transition
from fossil-fueled generating resources to renewable and other carbon-free
resources by allowing utilities to issue Securitized Bonds, or "energy
transition bonds," related to the retirement of certain coal-fired generating
facilities to qualified investors. See additional discussion of the ETA in Note
11 and in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021
Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

PNM expects the ETA will have a significant impact on PNM's future generation
portfolio, including PNM's planned retirement of SJGS in 2022 and the planned
Four Corners exit in 2024. PNM cannot predict the full impact of the ETA on
potential future generating resource abandonment and replacement filings with
the NMPRC.

State Regulation

SJGS Abandonment Application - As discussed in Note 12, on July 1, 2019, PNM
filed a Consolidated Application for the Abandonment and Replacement of SJGS and
Related Securitized Financing Pursuant to the ETA (the "SJGS Abandonment
Application"). The SJGS Abandonment Application sought NMPRC approval to retire
PNM's share of SJGS in mid-2022, and for approval of replacement resources and
the issuance of approximately $361 million of Securitized Bonds as provided by
the ETA. The application included several replacement resource scenarios
including PNM's recommended replacement scenario, which is consistent with PNM's
goal of having a 100% emissions-free generating portfolio by 2040 and would have
provided cost savings to customers while preserving system reliability.

The NMPRC issued an order requiring the SJGS Abandonment Application be considered in two proceedings: one addressing SJGS abandonment and related financing and the other addressing replacement resources but did not definitively

                                       82

indicate if the abandonment and financing proceedings would be evaluated under
the requirements of the ETA. After several requests for clarification and legal
challenges, in January 2020, the NM Supreme Court ruled the NMPRC is required to
apply the ETA to all aspects of PNM's SJGS Abandonment Application, and that any
previous NMPRC orders inconsistent with their ruling should be vacated.

In February 2020, the hearing examiners issued two recommended decisions
recommending approval of PNM's proposed abandonment of SJGS, subject to approval
of the separate replacement resources proceeding, and approval of PNM's proposed
financing order to issue Securitized Bonds.  The hearing examiners recommended,
among other things, that PNM be authorized to abandon SJGS by June 30, 2022, to
issue Securitized Bonds of up to $361 million, and to establish the Energy
Transition Charge. The hearing examiners recommended an interim rate rider
adjustment upon the start date of the Energy Transition Charge to provide
immediate credits to customers for the full value of PNM's revenue requirement
related to SJGS until those reductions are reflected in base rates. In addition,
the hearing examiners recommended PNM be granted authority to establish
regulatory assets to recover costs that PNM will pay prior to the issuance of
the Securitized Bonds, including costs associated with the bond issuances as
well as for severances, job training, and economic development funds. On April
1, 2020, the NMPRC unanimously approved the hearing examiners' recommended
decisions regarding the abandonment of SJGS and the Securitized Bonds. On April
10, 2020, CFRE and NEE filed a notice of appeal with the NM Supreme Court of the
NMPRC's approval of PNM's request to issue securitized financing under the ETA.
On January 10, 2022, the NM Supreme Court issued its decision rejecting CFRE's
and NEE's constitutional challenges to the ETA and affirmed the NMPRC's final
order.

On June 24, 2020, the hearing examiners issued a second recommended decision on
PNM's request for approval of replacement resources that addressed the entire
portfolio of replacement resources. On July 29, 2020, the NMPRC issued an order
approving resource selection criteria identified in the ETA that include PPA's
for 650 MW of solar and 300 MW of battery storage.

On February 28, 2022, WRA and CCAE filed a joint motion for order to show cause
and enforce financing order and supporting brief, which requests that the NMPRC
order PNM to show cause why its rates should not be reduced at the time SJGS is
abandoned, and to otherwise enforce the NMPRC's April 1, 2020 final order. On
March 14, 2022, PNM filed its response to the joint motion to show cause
refuting the movants' claims that the ETA and April 1, 2020 financing order
require Securitized Bonds be issued at the time of abandonment and that rates be
reduced upon abandonment as not being legally supportable. In response, on March
30, 2022, the NMPRC issued an order appointing hearing examiners to conduct a
hearing, if necessary, and to issue a recommended decision to address the issues
raised by the motion. The order also states that the hearing examiners should
endeavor to issue a recommended decision with sufficient time for consideration
of exceptions and for the NMPRC to be able to take action prior to June 30,
2022. PNM filed testimony on April 20, 2022 and a hearing, which began on May
23, 2022.

On June 17, 2022, the hearing examiners issued a recommended decision requesting the NMPRC issue an order that would require PNM to:

•Revise its rates to remove all of the costs of SJGS Unit 1 by issuing rate
credits of $21.1 million on an annual basis, to customers by July 1, 2022
•Revise its rates again, to remove all costs of SJGS Unit 1, Unit 4, and common
facilities by increasing the rate credits to $98.3 million on an annual basis,
by October 1, 2022
•Transfer payments due and owing to the Indian Affairs Fund, Economic
Development Assistance Fund, and the Displaced Workers Assistance Fund within 30
days of the abandonment of SJGS Unit 1
•Include (in its next rate case application) an explanation and defense of the
prudence in the timing of the issuance of Securitized Bonds beyond the
abandonment dates and what actions were taken to protect customers from interest
rate increases occurring as well as the continued marketability of the
Securitized Bonds issued

On June 29, 2022, the NMPRC issued its final order adopting and approving the
recommended decision in its entirety with certain additions. The additions to
the final order include requirements for PNM file a report no later than October
15, 2022, that contains a record of all of its costs incurred in the show cause
proceeding so that the prudence of those costs will be known and be subject to
review in PNM's future rate case and that the prudency review shall include a
compliance filing to enable a review of the prudence of PNM's decision to delay
bond issuance beyond the dates of the SJGS abandonment. On June 29, 2022, PNM
filed an Emergency Motion and Supporting Brief for Stay with the NMPRC ("PNM's
NMPRC Emergency Motion"). On June 30, 2022, PNM filed a Notice of Appeal and an
Emergency Motion for Partial Interim Stay of the NMPRC's Final Order with the NM
Supreme Court ("PNM's NM Supreme Court Emergency Motion"). On July 1, 2022, the
NMPRC filed a motion at the NM Supreme Court claiming that the ordering
paragraph in the June 29, 2022 final order only required PNM to file an advice
notice by July 1, 2022, but not to implement a credit until 30 days afterwards.
In its motion, the NMPRC requested that the court not immediately order the
interim stay of the final order, as requested in PNM's NM Supreme Court
Emergency Motion, and instead issue an order setting out a briefing schedule for
the NMPRC to respond and potential parties to file responses. On July 6, 2022,
PNM filed a response to the NMPRC's July 1, 2022 motion at the NM Supreme Court
stating that the urgency of a stay through the NM Supreme Court is still viable
based on whether the NMPRC takes longer than
                                       83

30 days to consider PNM's NMPRC Emergency Motion. On July 21, 2022, the NMPRC
adopted an order denying PNM's NMPRC Emergency Motion. Subsequently, on July 25,
2022, PNM filed another emergency motion seeking an immediate and ongoing stay
from the NM Supreme Court for the pendency of the appeal. PNM is awaiting a
decision from the NM Supreme Court, and in the interim began issuing rate
credits effective July 31, 2022. On July 28, 2022, PNM made payments totaling
$19.8 million to the Indian Affairs Fund, Economic Development Assistance Fund,
and the Displaced Workers Assistance Fund. See additional discussion of PNM's
San Juan Abandonment Application in Notes 11 and 12.

Four Corners Abandonment Application - On January 8, 2021, PNM filed the Four
Corners Abandonment Application, which seeks NMPRC approval to exit PNM's 13%
share of Four Corners as of December 31, 2024, and issuance of approximately
$300 million of Securitized Bonds as provided by the ETA. As ordered by the
hearing examiner in the case, PNM filed an amended application and testimony on
March 15, 2021. The amended application provided additional information to
support PNM's request, provided background on the NMPRC's consideration of the
prudence of PNM's investment in Four Corners in the NM 2016 Rate Case and
explained how the proposed sale and abandonment provides a net public benefit.
On December 15, 2021, the NMPRC issued a final order denying approval of the
Four Corners Abandonment Application and the corresponding request for issuance
of securitized financing. On December 22, 2021, PNM filed a notice of appeal
with the NM Supreme Court of the NMPRC decision to deny the application. See
additional discussion of the ETA and PNM's Four Corners Abandonment Application
in Notes 11 and 12.

PNM enhanced its plan to exit Four Corners and emphasized its ESG strategy to
reduce carbon emissions on March 12, 2021 with an announcement for additional
plans allowing for seasonal operations at Four Corners beginning in the fall of
2023, subject to the necessary approvals. The solution for seasonal operations
ensures the plant will be available to serve each owners' customer needs during
times of peak energy use while minimizing operations during periods of low
demand. This approach results in an estimated annual 20 to 25 percent reduction
in carbon emissions at the plant and retains jobs and royalty payments for the
Navajo Nation.

PVNGS Leased Interest Abandonment Application - On April 2, 2021, PNM filed the
PVNGS Leased Interest Abandonment Application. In the application PNM requested
NMPRC authorization to decertify and abandon its Leased Interest and to create
regulatory assets for the associated remaining undepreciated investments with
consideration of cost recovery of the undepreciated investments in a future rate
case. PNM also sought NMPRC approval to sell and transfer the PNM-owned assets
and nuclear fuel supply associated with the Leased Interest to SRP, which will
be acquiring the Leased Interest from the lessors upon termination of the
existing leases. In addition, PNM sought NMPRC approval for a 150 MW solar PPA
combined with a 40 MW battery storage agreement, and a stand-alone 100 MW
battery storage agreement to replace the Leased Interest. To ensure system
reliability and load needs are met in 2023, when a majority of the leases
expire, PNM also requested NMPRC approval for a 300 MW solar PPA combined with a
150 MW battery storage agreement. On August 25, 2021, the NMPRC issued an order
confirming PNM requires no further NMPRC authority to abandon the PVNGS Leased
Interest and to sell and transfer the PNM-owned assets and nuclear fuel supply
associated with the Leased Interest to SRP. The order bifurcated the issue of
approval of the two PPAs and three battery storage agreements into a separate
docket so it may proceed expeditiously and deferred a ruling on the other
issues. On February 16, 2022, the NMPRC approved the two PPAs and three battery
storage agreements. On April 15, 2022, PNM made a compliance filing with the
NMPRC in which it updated the NMPRC on the status of the PPAs and the battery
storage agreements listed above. On June 16, 2022, PNM made a second compliance
filing on the status of PPAs and battery storage agreements notifying the NMPRC
that none of the developers of the two PPAs and three battery storage agreements
have moved forward under the terms of the agreements approved by the NMPRC on
February 16, 2022, and none of the replacement resource projects would be
operational in 2023. All five projects will have significant delays and price
increases as evidenced in the current alternative offers from the developers.
PNM entered into amendments to the 300 MW solar PPA combined with a 150 MW
battery storage agreement and proposed those amendments to the NMPRC for
approval under the terms set out in the February 16, 2022 order in a filing with
the NMPRC on June 24, 2022. PNM determined the terms offered by the 150 MW solar
PPA combined with a 40 MW battery storage agreement and the stand-alone 100 MW
battery storage agreement are not satisfactory in comparison with other
potential projects that might be utilized instead, and PNM did not support the
proposed amendments to those agreements in the June 24, 2022 filing. No party
filed objections with 10 days following PNM's June 24, 2022 filing and pursuant
to the NMPRC's February 16, 2022 order, the 300 MW solar PPA combined with 150
MW battery storage agreement and the decision not to proceed with the other
agreements, are deemed approved. PNM continues to pursue additional resources to
replace the PVNGS leases that will be abandoned in 2023 and 2024. For additional
information on PNM's Leased Interest and the associated abandonment application
see Note 12 and Note 13.

Summer Peak Resource Adequacy

Throughout 2021 and continuing into 2022, PNM provided notices of delays and
status updates to the NMPRC for the approved SJGS replacement resource projects.
All four project developers have notified PNM that completion of the projects
will be delayed and no longer available for the 2022 summer peak and some may
also not be available for the 2023 summer peak. The delays in the SJGS
replacement resources, coupled with the abandonment of SJGS Units 1 and 4,
presented a risk that PNM will have insufficient operational resources to meet
the 2022 summer peak to reliably serve its customers. PNM entered into three
agreements to purchase power from third parties in the second half of 2021 to
minimize potential impacts to
                                       84
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
customers and on February 17, 2022, PNM provided a notice and request with the
NMPRC that PNM had obtained agreement from the SJGS owners and WSJ LLC to extend
operation of Unit 4 until September 30, 2022. SJGS Unit 4 is expected to provide
327 MW of capacity and improve PNM's projected system reserve margin to meet the
2022 summer peak. However, given the most recent force majeure notice described
in Note 11, PNM does not know to what extent these conditions will impact full
load operations through the remainder of the SJGS CSA and what impact they might
have on PNM's projected system reserve margin for the remainder of the 2022
summer peak. On February 23, 2022, the NMPRC issued an order finding that PNM
did not require NMPRC approval to extend operation of SJGS Unit 4 for an
additional three-month period. On March 24, 2022 FERC accepted the amended San
Juan Project Participation Agreement, effectively extending the operations of
SJGS Unit 4 through September 30, 2022.

PNM faces the same concerns in the summer of 2023 as a result of continued
delays in the SJGS replacement resources as well as delays in replacement
resources for the PVNGS leased capacity that expires in January 2023. As
discussed above, PNM has made a number of compliance filings with the NMPRC on
the status of the PVNGS leased capacity interest replacement resources. On July
12, 2022, PNM filed a notice on status of summer 2023 resource adequacy in both
the SJGS and PVNGS replacement resources proceedings. In the filing, PNM
provides timely notice of three contracts PNM has entered into for a total of
125 MW of firm power purchases for the 2023 summer period, June through
September. The addition of these resources plus a previously obtained 35 MW
sourced from Four Corners for summer 2023, provides PNM with a projected system
reserve margin with a range of 7.5% to 2.9% for the 2023 summer peak period. PNM
continues to evaluate other potential firm power agreements with various
providers, as well as all potential short-term resource options to address these
resource adequacy concerns. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of this matter.
See Note 12.

2020 Decoupling Petition - On May 28, 2020, PNM filed a petition for approval of
a rate adjustment mechanism that would decouple the rates of its residential and
small power rate classes. Decoupling is a rate design principle that severs the
link between the recovery of fixed costs of the utility through volumetric
charges. If approved, customer bills would not be impacted until January 1,
2022. On October 2, 2020, PNM requested an order to vacate the public hearing
and stay the proceeding until the NMPRC decides whether to entertain a petition
to issue a declaratory order resolving the issues raised in the motions to
dismiss. On October 7, 2020, the hearing examiner approved PNM's request to stay
the proceeding and vacate the public hearing and on October 30, 2020 PNM filed a
petition for declaratory order asking the NMPRC to issue an order finding that
full revenue decoupling is authorized by the EUEA. On March 17, 2021, the NMPRC
issued an order granting PNM's petition for declaratory order which commences a
proceeding to address petitions. Oral arguments were made on July 15, 2021. On
January 14, 2022, the hearing examiner issued a recommended decision
recommending the NMPRC find that the EUEA does not mandate the NMPRC to
authorize or approve a full decoupling mechanism, defining full decoupling as
limited to energy efficiency and load management measures and programs. The
recommended decision also states that a utility may request approval of a rate
adjustment mechanism to remove regulatory disincentives to energy efficiency and
load management measures and programs through a stand-alone petition, as part of
the utility's triennial energy efficiency application or a general rate case and
that PNM is not otherwise precluded from petitioning for a rate adjustment
mechanism prior to its next general rate case. Finally, the recommended decision
stated that the EUEA does not permit the NMPRC to reduce a utility's ROE based
on approval of a disincentive removal mechanism founded on removing regulatory
disincentives to energy efficiency and load management measures and programs.
The recommended decision does not specifically prohibit a downward adjustment to
a utility's capital structure, based on approval of a disincentive removal
mechanism. On April 27, 2022, the NMPRC issued an order adopting the recommended
decision in its entirety. On May 24, 2022, PNM filed a notice of appeal with the
NM Supreme Court. On June 23, 2022, PNM filed its Statement of Issues with the
NM Supreme Court. See Note 12. PNM cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

PNM Solar Direct - In 2019, PNM filed an application with the NMPRC for approval
of a program under which qualified governmental and large commercial customers
could participate in a voluntary renewable energy procurement program. PNM
proposed to recover costs of the program directly from subscribing customers
through a rate rider. Under the rider, PNM would procure renewable energy from
50 MW of solar-PV facilities under a 15-year PPA. PNM had fully subscribed the
entire output of the 50 MW facilities at the time of the filing. In March 2020,
the hearing examiner issued a recommended decision recommending approval of
PNM's application that was subsequently approved by the NMPRC. These facilities
began commercial operations in the second quarter of 2022.

The Community Solar Act - On June 18, 2021, Senate Bill 84, known as the
Community Solar Act, became effective. The Community Solar Act establishes a
program that allows for the development of community solar facilities and
provides customers of a qualifying utility with the option of accessing solar
energy produced by a community solar facility in accordance with the Community
Solar Act. The NMPRC is charged with administering the Community Solar Act
program, establishing a total maximum capacity of 200 MW community solar
facilities (applicable until November 2024) and allocating proportionally to the
New Mexico electric investor-owned utilities and participating cooperatives. As
required under the Community Solar Act, the NMPRC opened a docket on May 12,
2021, to adopt rules to establish a community solar program no later than April
1, 2022. On March 30, 2022, the NMPRC issued an order that adopted a rule on the
administration of the Community Solar Act program. The rule requires utilities
to file proposed community solar tariffs with the NMPRC within 60 days from the
publication of the rule. A number of motions for rehearing and requests for
clarification were filed between April 7 and May 2, 2022. On May 18, 2022, the
NMPRC issued an order partially granting motions for rehearing, reconsideration
and clarification
                                       85
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and staying implementation pending further rulemaking. On June 16, 2022, PNM
requested clarification related to the existing interconnection queue, which
would not delay implementation of the Community Solar Act program. On June 17,
2022, SPS filed a notice of appeal with the NM Supreme Court seeking review of
the NMPRC's decision. The notice did not identify which issues SPS wanted
reviewed, nor did it seek a stay. On July 12, 2022, the NMPRC provided notice of
publication of its final rule in the New Mexico Register, starting the 60-day
clock for utilities to file their proposed community solar tariffs, forms and
other relevant agreements. See Note 12.

Advanced Metering - Currently, TNMP has approximately 262,000 advanced meters
across its service territory. Beginning in 2019, the majority of costs
associated with TNMP's AMS program are being recovered through base rates. On
July 14, 2021, TNMP filed a request with the PUCT to consider and approve its
final reconciliation of the costs spent on the deployment of AMS from April 1,
2018 through December 31, 2018 of $9.0 million, and approve appropriate carrying
charges until full collection. On February 10, 2022, the PUCT approved
substantially all costs included in TNMP's AMS reconciliation application. On
October 2, 2020, TNMP filed an application with the PUCT for authorization to
implement necessary technological upgrades of approximately $46 million to its
AMS program by November 2022. On January 14, 2021, the PUCT approved TNMP's
application. TNMP will seek recovery of the investment associated with the
upgrade in a future general rate proceeding or DCOS filing. See Note 12.

Rate Riders and Interim Rate Relief - The PUCT has approved mechanisms that
allow TNMP to recover capital invested in transmission and distribution projects
without having to file a general rate case. The PUCT also approved rate riders
that allow TNMP to recover amounts related to energy efficiency and third-party
transmission costs. The NMPRC has approved PNM recovering fuel costs through the
FPPAC, as well as rate riders for renewable energy, energy efficiency and the
TEP. These mechanisms allow for more timely recovery of investments.

FERC Regulation

Rates PNM charges wholesale transmission customers are subject to traditional
rate regulation by FERC. Rates charged to wholesale electric transmission
customers, other than customers on the Western Spirit Line described below, are
based on a formula rate mechanism pursuant to which rates for wholesale
transmission service are calculated annually in accordance with an approved
formula. The formula includes updating cost of service components, including
investment in plant and operating expenses, based on information contained in
PNM's annual financial report filed with FERC, as well as including projected
transmission capital projects to be placed into service in the following year.
The projections included are subject to true-up. Certain items, including
changes to return on equity and depreciation rates, require a separate filing to
be made with FERC before being included in the formula rate.

In May 2019, PNM filed an application with FERC requesting approval to purchase
and provide transmission service on the Western Spirit Line. All necessary
approvals were obtained. In December 2021, PNM completed the purchase of the
Western Spirit Line and service under related transmission service agreements
was initiated using an incremental rate that is separate from the formula rate
mechanism described above.

Delivering At or Above Industry-Average Earnings and Dividend Growth

PNMR's financial objective to deliver at or above industry-average earnings and
dividend growth enables investors to realize the value of their investment in
the Company's business. Earnings growth is based on ongoing earnings, which is a
non-GAAP financial measure that excludes from GAAP earnings certain
non-recurring, infrequent, and other items that are not indicative of
fundamental changes in the earnings capacity of the Company's operations. PNMR
uses ongoing earnings to evaluate the operations of the Company and to establish
goals, including those used for certain aspects of incentive compensation, for
management and employees.

PNMR targets a dividend payout ratio in the 50% to 60% range of its ongoing
earnings. PNMR expects to provide at or above industry-average dividend growth
in the near-term. The Board will continue to evaluate the dividend on an annual
basis, considering sustainability and growth, capital planning, and industry
standards.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, PNMR has agreed not to declare, set
aside, make or pay any dividend or other distribution, payable in cash, stock,
property or otherwise, with respect to any of its equity securities, or make any
other actual, constructive or deemed distribution in respect of any equity
securities (except (i) PNMR may continue the declaration and payment of planned
regular quarterly cash dividends on PNMR common stock for each quarterly period
ended after the date of the Merger Agreement, which for any fiscal quarter in
2022 shall not exceed $0.3475, with usual record and payment dates in accordance
with past dividend practice, and (ii) for any cash dividend or cash distribution
by a wholly-owned subsidiary of PNMR to PNMR or another wholly-owned subsidiary
of PNMR).

Maintaining Investment Grade Credit Ratings

The Company is committed to maintaining investment grade credit ratings in order
to reduce the cost of debt financing and to help ensure access to credit
markets, when required. On February 10, 2022, Moody's downgraded TNMP's issuer
rating from A3 to Baa1 and changed the outlook from negative to stable. See the
subheading Liquidity included in the full discussion of Liquidity and Capital
Resources below for the specific credit ratings for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP. All of
the credit ratings issued by both Moody's and S&P on the Company's debt continue
to be investment grade.

Business Focus

To achieve its business objectives, focus is directed in key areas: Safe,
Reliable and Affordable Power; Utility Plant and Strategic Investments;
Environmentally Responsible Power; and Customer, Stakeholders, and Community
Engagement. The Company works closely with its stakeholders to ensure that
resource plans and infrastructure investments benefit from robust public
dialogue and balance the diverse needs of our communities. Equally important is
the focus of PNMR's utilities on customer satisfaction and community engagement.

Safe, Reliable, and Affordable Power

Safety is the first priority of our business and a core value of the Company.
PNMR utilizes a Safety Management System to provide clear direction, objectives
and targets for managing safety performance and minimizing risks and empowers
employees to "Be the Reason Everyone Goes Home Safe".

PNMR measures reliability and benchmark performance of PNM and TNMP against
other utilities using industry-standard metrics, including System Average
Interruption Duration Index ("SAIDI") and System Average Interruption Frequency
Index ("SAIFI"). PNM's and TNMP's investment plans include projects designed to
support reliability and reduce the amount of time customers are without power.

PNMR and its utilities are aware of the important roles they play in enhancing
economic vitality in their service territories. Management believes that
maintaining strong and modern electric infrastructure is critical to ensuring
reliability and supporting economic growth. When contemplating expanding or
relocating their operations, businesses consider energy affordability and
reliability to be important factors. PNM and TNMP strive to balance service
affordability with infrastructure investment to maintain a high level of
electric reliability and to deliver a safe and superior customer experience.
Investing in PNM's and TNMP's infrastructure is critical to ensuring reliability
and meeting future energy needs. Both utilities have long-established records of
providing customers with safe and reliable electric service.

The Company continues to closely monitor developments and has taken and
continues to take steps to mitigate the potential risks related to the COVID-19
pandemic. The Company has assessed and updated its existing business continuity
plans in response to the impacts of the pandemic through crisis team meetings
and working with other utilities and operators. It has identified its critical
workforce, staged backups and limited access to control rooms and critical
assets. The Company has worked to protect the safety of its employees using a
number of measures, including minimizing exposure to other employees and the
public and supporting flexible arrangements for all applicable job functions.
The Company is also working with its suppliers to manage the impacts to its
supply chain and remains focused on the integrity of its information systems and
other technology systems used to run its business. However, the Company cannot
predict the extent or duration of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, its effects on
the global, national or local economy, or on the Company's financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows. The Company will continue to monitor
developments related to COVID-19 and will remain focused on protecting the
health and safety of its customers, employees, contractors, and other
stakeholders, and on its objective to provide safe, reliable, affordable and
environmentally responsible power. As discussed in Note 12, both PNM and TNMP
suspended disconnecting certain customers for past due bills, waived late fees
during the pandemic, and have been provided regulatory mechanisms to recover
these and other costs resulting from COVID-19. See additional discussion below
regarding the Company's customer, community, and stakeholder engagement in
response to COVID-19.

EIM

On April 1, 2021, PNM joined and began participating in the EIM. The EIM is a
real-time wholesale energy trading market operated by the CAISO that enables
participating electric utilities to buy and sell energy. The EIM aggregates the
variability of electricity generation and load for multiple balancing authority
areas and utility jurisdictions. In addition, the EIM facilitates greater
integration of renewable resources through the aggregation of flexible resources
by capturing diversity
                                       87

  Table of Contents
benefits from the expanding geographic footprint and the expanded potential uses
for those resources. PNM completed a cost-benefit analysis, which indicated
participation in the EIM would provide substantial benefits to retail customers.
In 2018, PNM filed an application with the NMPRC requesting, among other things,
to recover initial capital investments and authorization to establish a
regulatory asset to recover other expenses that would be incurred in order to
join the EIM. The NMPRC approved the establishment of a regulatory asset but
deferred certain rate making issues, including but not limited to issues related
to implementation and ongoing EIM costs and savings, the prudence and
reasonableness of costs to be included in the regulatory asset, and the period
over which costs would be charged to customers until PNM's next general rate
case filing. PNM has experienced an aggregate of $18.9 million in cost savings
to customers through participation in the EIM, which includes $3.1 million and
$6.4 million occurring in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Utility Plant and Strategic Investments

Utility Plant Investments - During the 2020 and 2021 periods, PNM and TNMP
together invested $1.6 billion in utility plant, including substations, power
plants, nuclear fuel, and transmission and distribution systems. New Mexico's
clean energy future depends on a reliable, resilient, secure grid to deliver an
evolving mix of energy resources to customers. PNM has launched a capital
initiative, which emphasizes new investments in its transmission and
distribution infrastructure with three primary objectives: delivering clean
energy, enhancing customer satisfaction and increasing grid resilience. Projects
are aimed at advancing the infrastructure beyond its original architecture to a
more flexible and redundant system accommodating growing amounts of intermittent
and distributed generation resources and integrating evolving technologies that
provide long-term customer value. See the subheading Capital Requirements
included in the full discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources below for
additional discussion of the Company's projected capital requirements.

Strategic Investments - In 2017, PNMR Development and AEP OnSite Partners
created NMRD to pursue the acquisition, development, and ownership of renewable
energy generation projects, primarily in the state of New Mexico. Abundant
renewable resources, large tracts of affordable land, and strong government and
community support make New Mexico a favorable location for renewable generation.
New Mexico ranks third in the Nation for energy potential from solar power
according to the Nebraska Department of Energy & Energy Sun Index and ranks
third in the Nation for land-based wind capacity according to the U.S. Office of
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. PNMR Development and AEP OnSite Partners
each have a 50% ownership interest in NMRD. Through NMRD, PNMR anticipates being
able to provide additional renewable generation solutions to customers within
and surrounding its regulated jurisdictions through partnering with a subsidiary
of one of the United States' largest electric utilities. As of June 30, 2022,
NMRD's renewable energy capacity in operation was 135.1 MW, which includes 130
MW of solar-PV facilities to supply energy to the Meta data center located
within PNM's service territory, 1.9 MW to supply energy to Columbus Electric
Cooperative located in southwest New Mexico, 2.0 MW to supply energy to the
Central New Mexico Electric Cooperative, and 1.2 MW of solar-PV facilities to
supply energy to the City of Rio Rancho, New Mexico. In addition, PNM's February
8, 2021 application with the NMPRC for approval to service the Meta data center
includes construction of a 50 MW solar facility owned by NMRD.

Integrated Resource Plan

NMPRC rules require that investor-owned utilities file an IRP every three years.
The IRP is required to cover a 20-year planning period and contain an action
plan covering the first four years of that period.

NMPRC rules required PNM to file its 2020 IRP in July 2020. In April 2020, the
NMPRC approved PNM's request to extend the deadline to file its 2020 IRP until
six months after the NMPRC issues a final order approving replacement resources
in PNM's SJGS Abandonment Application. On January 29, 2021, PNM filed its 2020
IRP. The plan focuses on a carbon-free electricity portfolio by 2040 that would
eliminate coal at the end of 2024. This includes replacing the power from San
Juan with a mix of approved carbon-free resources and the plan to exit Four
Corners at the end of 2024. The plan highlights the need for additional
investments in a diverse set of resources, including renewables to supply
carbon-free power, energy storage to balance supply and demand, and efficiency
and other demand-side resources to mitigate load growth. See additional
discussion regarding PNM's 2020 IRP filing in Note 12.

In the second quarter of 2022, PNM initiated its 2023 IRP process which will
cover the 20-year planning period from 2023 through 2043. Consistent with
historical practice, PNM will seek public input from interested parties as part
of this process. PNM expects to issue a draft of its IRP by March 2023 and to
submit its final 2023 IRP to the NMPRC by July 2023.

Environmentally Responsible Power PNMR has a long-standing record of environmental stewardship. PNM's environmental focus is in three key areas:

•Developing strategies to provide reliable and affordable power while transitioning to a 100% emissions-free generating portfolio by 2040 •Preparing PNM's system to meet New Mexico's increasing renewable energy requirements as cost-effectively as possible

                                       88

  Table of Contents
•Increasing energy efficiency participation

PNMR's corporate website (www.pnmresources.com) includes a dedicated section
providing key environmental and other sustainability information related to
PNM's and TNMP's operations and other information that collectively demonstrates
the Company's commitment to ESG principles. This information highlights plans
for PNM to be coal-free by 2024 (subject to regulatory approval) and to achieve
an emissions-free generating portfolio by 2040.

In February 2022, PNM named its first Chief Environmental Officer. The Chief
Environmental Officer is responsible for developing and implementing the
Company's business strategy and positions on environmental and sustainability
policy issues and is charged with establishing organization-wide policies,
strategies, goals, objectives and programs that advance sustainability and
ensure compliance with regulations. The role serves as the Company's primary
contact with various regulatory and stakeholder agencies on environmental
matters. In addition, the role leads environmental justice work, incorporating
impacts to tribal, worker and affected communities and advance ESG reporting.

On September 21, 2020, PNM announced an agreement to partner with Sandia
National Laboratories in research and development projects focused on energy
resiliency, clean energy, and national security. The partnership demonstrates
PNMR's commitment to ESG principles and its support of projects that further its
emissions-free generation goals and plans for a reliable, resilient, and secure
grid to deliver New Mexico's clean energy future. PNM also recently joined the
Electric Power Research Institute ("EPRI") Climate READi (REsilience and
ADaptation) Initiative, a three-year initiative to develop a comprehensive and
consistent approach to physical climate risk and facilitate the analysis and
application of appropriate climate data among all stakeholders to enhance the
planning, design and operation of a resilient power system.

Electric Vehicles

PNMR is building upon its ESG goal of 100% emissions-free generation by 2040
with plans for additional emissions reductions through the electrification of
its vehicle fleet. Growing the number of electric vehicles within the Company's
fleet will benefit the environment and lower fuel costs furthering the
commitment to ESG principles. Under the commitment, existing fleet vehicles will
be replaced as they are retired with an increasing percentage of electric
vehicles. The new goals call for 25% of all light duty fleet purchases to be
electric by 2025 and 50% to be electric by 2030.

To demonstrate PNMR's commitment to increase the electrification of vehicles in
its service territory, PNM filed a TEP with the NMPRC on December 18, 2020. The
TEP supports customer adoption of electric vehicles by focusing on addressing
the barriers to electric vehicle adoption and encourage use. PNM's proposed
program budget will be dedicated to low and moderate income customers by
providing rebates to both residential and non-residential customers towards the
purchase of chargers and/or behind-the-meter infrastructure. On November 10,
2021, the NMPRC issued a final order approving PNM's TEP. See Note 12.

In December 2021, PNM announced that it will be joining the National Electric
Highway Coalition, which plans to build fast-charging ports along major U.S.
travel corridors. The coalition, with approximately 50 investor-owned electric
companies is committed to providing electric vehicle (EV) fast charging ports
that will allow the public to drive EVs with confidence throughout the country's
major roadways by the end of 2023.

Other Environmental Matters

Four Corners may be required to comply with environmental rules that affect
coal-fired generating units, including regional haze rules and the ETA. On June
19, 2019, EPA repealed the Clean Power Plan, promulgated the ACE Rule, and
revised the implementing regulations for all emission guidelines issued under
the CAA Section 111(d). On January 19, 2021, the DC Circuit issued an opinion
vacating and remanding the ACE Rule, holding that it was based on a
misconstruction of Section 111(d) of the CAA, but stayed its mandate for vacatur
of the repeal of the Clean Power Plan to ensure that the now-outdated rule would
not become effective. On January 27, 2021, President Biden signed an executive
order requiring a review of environmental regulations issued under the Trump
Administration, which will include a review of the ACE Rule. The U.S. Supreme
Court granted four petitions for certiorari seeking review of the DC Circuit's
decision, and oral arguments in the case were held on February 28, 2022 and on
June 30, 2022, the US Supreme Court ruled in the case. Their ruling states that
EPA overstepped its authority under the Clean Power Plan by requiring generation
shifting. Relying upon the Major Question Doctrine, the US Supreme Court found
no clear statement in the CAA that would authorize EPA to force the power sector
to shift from coal-fired power plants to gas-fired power plants and renewable
energy resources. The ruling has an impact on EPA's current drafting of a new
rule to replace the ACE Rule, which is expected to be published in March 2023.

Renewable Energy

PNM's renewable procurement strategy includes utility-owned solar capacity, as
well as solar, wind and geothermal energy purchased under PPAs. As of June 30,
2022, PNM has 158 MW of utility-owned solar capacity in operation. In addition,
PNM purchases power from a customer-owned distributed solar generation program
that had an installed capacity of
                                       89
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
219.8 MW at June 30, 2022. PNM also owns the 500 KW PNM Prosperity Energy
Storage Project. The project was one of the first combinations of battery
storage and solar-PV energy in the nation and involved extensive research and
development of advanced grid concepts. The facility also was the nation's first
solar storage facility fully integrated into a utility's power grid. PNM also
purchases the output from New Mexico Wind, a 200 MW wind facility, and the
output of Red Mesa Wind, an existing 102 MW wind energy center. PNM's 2020
renewable energy procurement plan was approved by the NMPRC in January 2020 and
includes a PPA to procure 140 MW of renewable energy and RECs from La Joya Wind
II that became operational in June 2021. The NMPRC approved the portfolio to
replace the planned retirement of SJGS resulting in PNM executing solar PPAs of
650 MW combined with 300 MW of battery storage agreements. In addition, the
PVNGS Leased Interest Abandonment Application approved by the NMPRC includes a
300 MW solar PPA combined with a 150 MW battery storage agreement. The majority
of these renewable resources are key means for PNM to meet the RPS and related
regulations that require PNM to achieve prescribed levels of energy sales from
renewable sources, including those set by the recently enacted ETA, without
exceeding cost requirements. See additional discussion of the ETA and PNM's
Abandonment Applications in Notes 11 and 12

As discussed in Strategic Investments above, PNM is currently purchasing the
output of 130 MW of solar capacity from NMRD that is used to serve the Meta data
center which includes two 25-year PPAs to purchase renewable energy and RECs
from an aggregate of approximately 100 MW of capacity from two solar-PV
facilities constructed by NMRD to supply power to Meta, Inc. Additionally, PNM
has entered into three separate 25-year PPAs to purchase renewable energy and
RECs to be used by PNM to supply additional renewable power to the Meta data
center. These PPAs include the purchase of power and RECs from two wind projects
totaling 216 MW and a 50 MW solar-PV project which began commercial operations
in June 2022. In addition, the NMPRC issued an order that will allow PNM to
service the Meta data center for an additional 190 MW of solar PPA combined with
50 MW of battery storage and a 50 MW solar PPA.

PNM will continue to procure renewable resources while balancing the impact to
customers' electricity costs in order to meet New Mexico's escalating RPS and
carbon-free resource requirements.

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency plays a significant role in helping to keep customers'
electricity costs low while meeting their energy needs and is one of the
Company's approaches to supporting environmentally responsible power. PNM's and
TNMP's energy efficiency and load management portfolios continue to achieve
robust results. In 2021, incremental energy saved as a result of new
participation in PNM's portfolio of energy efficiency programs was 107 GWh. This
is equivalent to the annual consumption of approximately 12,689 homes in PNM's
service territory. PNM's load management and annual energy efficiency programs
also help lower peak demand requirements. In 2021, TNMP's incremental energy
saved as a result of new participation in TNMP's energy efficiency programs is
estimated to be approximately 19 GWh. This is equivalent to the annual
consumption of approximately 2,469 homes in TNMP's service territory. TNMP's
High-Performance Homes residential new construction energy efficiency program
was honored for the sixth year in a row by ENERGY STAR. This recognition
includes the program's fourth straight Partner of the Year Sustained Excellence
Award. For information on PNM's and TNMP's energy efficiency filing with the
NMPRC and PUCT see Note 12.

Water Conservation and Solid Waste Reduction

PNM continues its efforts to reduce the amount of fresh water used to make
electricity (about 35% more efficient than in 2007). Continued growth in PNM's
fleet of solar and wind energy sources, energy efficiency programs, and
innovative uses of gray water and air-cooling technology have contributed to
this reduction. Water usage has continued to decline as PNM has substituted less
fresh-water-intensive generation resources to replace SJGS Units 2 and 3
starting in 2018, as water consumption at that plant has been reduced by
approximately 50%. As the Company moves forward with its mission to achieve 100%
carbon-free generation by 2040, it expects that more significant water savings
will be gained. Shutting down SJGS in 2022 and existing Four Corners in 2024
will allow the Company to reach our goals for reduced freshwater use by 80% by
2035 and 90% by 2040 from 2005 levels. Focusing on responsible stewardship of
New Mexico's scarce water resources improves PNM's water-resilience in the face
of persistent drought and ever-increasing demands for water to spur the growth
of New Mexico's economy.

In addition to the above areas of focus, the Company is working to reduce the
amount of solid waste going to landfills through increased recycling and
reduction of waste. In 2021, 18 of the Company's 23 facilities met the solid
waste diversion goal of a 65% diversion rate. The Company expects to continue to
do well in this area in the future.

Customer, Stakeholder, and Community Engagement

Another key element of the Company's commitment to ESG principles is fostering
relationships with its customers, stakeholders, and communities. The Company
strives to deliver a superior customer experience. Through outreach,
collaboration, and various community-oriented programs, the Company has
demonstrated a commitment to building productive relationships with
stakeholders, including customers, community partners, regulators, intervenors,
legislators, and shareholders.

In December 2021, PNMR was named, for the second consecutive year, to Newsweek's
list of America's Most Responsible Companies highlighting companies in areas of
ESG. PNM continues to focus its efforts to enhance the customer experience
through customer service improvements, including enhanced customer service
engagement options, strategic customer outreach, and improved communications.
These efforts are supported by market research to understand the varying needs
of customers, identifying and establishing valued services and programs, and
proactively communicating and engaging with customers. As a result, PNM
continues to experience steady performance in customer satisfaction in both the
J.D. Power Electric Utility Residential Customer Satisfaction StudySM and its
own proprietary relationship surveys. In the 2021 fourth quarter J.D. Power
overall customer satisfaction results, PNM outperformed the West Midsize
industry average by one point. In 2022, PNM and the utility industry as a whole,
have experienced a decline in customer satisfaction as measured by J.D. Power.
However, PNM remains focused on continuously improving its customers' experience
at every touchpoint and placing greater focus on customer assistance through
economic uncertainty.

The Company has leveraged a number of communications channels and strategic
content to better serve and engage its many stakeholders. PNM's website
www.pnm.com, provides the details of major regulatory filings, including general
rate requests, as well as the background on PNM's efforts to maintain
reliability, keep prices affordable, and protect the environment. The Company's
website is also a resource for information about PNM's operations and community
outreach efforts, including plans for building a sustainable energy future for
New Mexico and to transition to an emissions-free generating portfolio by 2040.
PNM has also leveraged social media in communications with customers on various
topics such as education, outage alerts, safety, customer service, and PNM's
community partnerships in philanthropic projects. As discussed above, PNMR's
corporate website, www.pnmresources.com, includes a dedicated section providing
additional information regarding the Company's commitment to ESG principles and
other sustainability efforts.

With reliability being the primary role of a transmission and distribution
service provider in Texas' deregulated market, TNMP continues to focus on
keeping end-users updated about interruptions and to encourage consumer
preparation when severe weather is forecasted. In the third quarter of 2021,
TNMP provided a 30-person team in support of another utility that experienced
significant damage to their transmission and distribution system as a result of
Hurricane Ida. TNMP has been honored by the Edison Electric Institute four times
since 2012 for its assistance to out-of-state utilities affected by hurricanes.
TNMP has also been honored twice for hurricane response in its own territory.

Local relationships and one-on-one communications remain two of the most
valuable ways both PNM and TNMP connect with their stakeholders. Both companies
maintain long-standing relationships with governmental representatives and key
electricity consumers to ensure that these stakeholders are updated on Company
investments and initiatives. Key electricity consumers also have dedicated
Company contacts that support their important service needs.

Another demonstration of the Company's commitment to ESG principles is the
Company's tradition of supporting the communities it serves in New Mexico and
Texas. This support extends beyond corporate giving and financial donations from
the PNM Resources Foundation to also include collaborations on community
projects, customer low-income assistance programs, and employee volunteerism.

During the three years ending December 31, 2021, corporate giving contributed
$10.4 million to civic, educational, environmental, low income, and economic
development organizations. In 2022, corporate giving will maintain this
strategic focus and will continue to highlight corporate citizenship through
active involvement with sponsorships demonstrating PNM's commitment to the
community. In addition, emergency relief funds in 2022 are supporting
non-profits providing response to the fires in northern and southern New Mexico.
PNM and the Avangrid Foundation together donated $0.1 million to the All
Together NM Fund. PNMR recognizes its responsibility to support programs and
organizations that enrich the quality of life across its service territories and
seeks opportunities to further demonstrate its commitment in these areas as
needs arise. In response to COVID-19 community needs, PNMR donated to an
Emergency Action Fund in partnership with key local agencies to benefit
approximately ninety nonprofits and small businesses facing challenges due to
lack of technology, shifting service needs, and cancelled fundraising events.
Additionally, employee teams supported first responders and other front-line
workers through the delivery of food and other supplies often procured from
local businesses struggling during stay-at-home orders. PNM also donated to the
Pueblo Relief Fund and delivered personal protective supplies to pueblo areas
and tribal nations throughout New Mexico. While its service territory does not
include the Navajo Nation, PNM's operations include generating facilities and
employees in this region that has been disproportionately affected by the
pandemic. In response, employee teams focused efforts to this region and also
provided available supplies of personal protective equipment. PNM has also
collaborated with the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority Wireless ("NTUAW") to set
up wireless "hot spots" throughout the Navajo Nation in areas without internet
access to assist first responders and support continued education opportunities
amidst school closures. These actions supplement PNM's continued support for the
Navajo Nation. The PNM Navajo Nation Workforce Training Scholarship Program
provides support for Navajo tribal members and encourages the pursuit of
education and training in existing and emerging jobs in the communities in which
they live. In 2019, PNM invested an additional $500,000 into this scholarship
program to further assist in the development and education of the Navajo Nation
workforce. PNM has invested in paid summer college engineering internship
programs for American Indian students available in the greater Albuquerque area,
established the PNM Pueblo Education Scholarship Endowment to invest in higher
education for Native American Indian students, and supported the Coalition to
Stop Violence Against Native Women. PNM also continues to partner in the Light
up

Navajo project, piloted in 2019 and modeled after mutual aid to connect homes
without electricity to the power grid. PNM has also partnered with key local
organizations to initiate funding for programs focused on diversity, equity, and
inclusion.

Another important outreach program is tailored for low-income customers and
includes the PNM Good Neighbor Fund to provide customer assistance with their
electric utility bills. COVID-19 has increased the needs of these customers
along with customers who may not otherwise need to seek assistance. In addition
to the suspension of residential customer disconnections from April 2020 through
August 2021 and the expansion of customer payment plans, PNM responded with
increased communications through media outlets and customer outreach to connect
customers with nonprofit community service providers offering financial
assistance, food, clothing, medical programs, and services for seniors. As a
result of these communication efforts, 4,147 families in need received emergency
assistance through the PNM Good Neighbor Fund during 2021. Additionally, PNM has
worked closely with the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration to
implement strategies ensuring customers receive rent benefits, including utility
bill assistance, from the Emergency Rental Assistance Program ("ERAP"). As a
result of these efforts, the ERAP has paid over $6.0 million in customer arrears
since the launch of the program in March 2021. In the six months ended June 30,
2022, the PNM Good Neighbor Fund has awarded approximately 2,200 families with a
combined $0.3 million.

Additionally, as a part of corporate giving, on October 1, 2020, PNM introduced
$2.0 million in funding for the COVID Customer Relief Programs which support
income-qualified residential customers and small business customers who have
been impacted by the financial challenges created by COVID-19 and have past due
electric bills. Qualified customers that pay a portion of their past-due balance
can receive assistance toward their remaining balance. In the six months ended
June 30, 2022, the COVID Customer Relief Programs have provided $0.3 million in
assistance to 1,800 families through eight events.

Volunteerism is also an important facet of employee culture, keeping our
communities safer, stronger, smarter and more vibrant. The Company continues to
provide employees with COVID-safe projects through virtual, hybrid, and limited
group gatherings. Employees and nonprofits remained resilient, creative, and
innovative and responded to community need and selflessly gave their time and
talents to organizations throughout New Mexico and Texas completing 8,741
volunteer hours with nonprofits and other community organizations. Volunteers
also participate in a company-wide annual Day of Service at nonprofits across
New Mexico and Texas along with participation on a variety of nonprofit boards
and independent volunteer activities throughout the year. In addition, the
Company facilitated employee and customer Earth Day cleanups across PNM's
service territory resulting in over 2,200 gallons of trash collected. In the six
months ended June 30, 2022, employee volunteer hours have totaled more than
6,800 hours throughout New Mexico and Texas.

In addition to the extensive engagement both PNM and TNMP have with nonprofit
organizations in their communities, the PNM Resources Foundation provides nearly
$1.4 million in grant funding each year across New Mexico and Texas. These
grants help nonprofits innovate or sustain programs to grow and develop their
mission, develop and implement environmental programs, and provide educational
opportunities. Beginning in 2020 and ending in 2022, the PNM Resources
Foundation is funding grants with a three-year focus on decreasing homelessness,
increasing access to affordable housing, reducing carbon emissions, and
increasing community safety. The PNM Resources Foundation continued to expand
its matching donation program and increased the annual amount of matching
donations available to each of its employees. PNM Resources Foundation awarded
additional grants to non-profits providing relief for the fires in northern and
southern New Mexico in the first quarter of 2022. The PNM Resources Foundation
also approved an increase to the amount awarded to employees, through the
employee crisis management fund, who have been affected by the wildfires. The
maximum amount was increased from $2,500 to $5,000 under a declared emergency
such as was done during Hurricane Harvey in Texas. In December 2021, the PNM
Resources Foundation was nominated for the Albuquerque Business First 2022
Philanthropy Award.

Economic Factors

PNM - In the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, PNM experienced an
increase of 3.7% and a decrease of 0.9% in weather normalized residential load.
Weather normalized commercial load experienced a decrease of 0.5% and an
increase of 2.2% compared to 2021. In addition, PNM experienced a decrease in
industrial load of 0.3% and an increase of 2.5% compared to 2021.

TNMP - In the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, TNMP experienced an
increase of 5.1% and 3.3% in volumetric weather normalized retail load compared
to 2021. Weather normalized demand-based load, excluding retail transmission
consumers increased 10.4% and 6.8% in the three and six months ended June 30,
2022 compared to 2021.

Although the Company has experienced signs of recovery from state restrictions
related to COVID-19, it is unable to determine the duration or final impacts
from COVID-19 as discussed in more detail in Item 1A Risk Factors of the 2021
Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company is also closely monitoring the impacts
on the capital markets of other macroeconomic conditions, including actions by
the Federal Reserve to address inflationary concerns or other market conditions,
and geopolitical activity. The Company has not experienced, nor does it expect
significant negative impacts to customer usage at PNM and TNMP resulting from
these economic impacts. However, if current economic conditions worsen,
                                       92

the Company may be required to implement additional measures such as reducing or
delaying operating and maintenance expenses and planned capital expenditures.

Results of Operations

Net earnings attributable to PNMR were $31.4 million, or $0.36 per diluted share
in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $71.3 million, or $0.83 per
diluted share in 2021. Among other things, earnings in the six months ended
June 30, 2022 benefited from higher transmission margin at PNM and TNMP, higher
volumetric and demand-based load and warmer weather at TNMP, higher distribution
rates at TNMP, AMS carrying charges at TNMP, and lower costs related to the
Merger at Corporate and Other. These increases were offset by decreased
performance on PNM's NDT and coal mine reclamation investment securities, lower
weather normalized retail load and milder weather conditions at PNM, increased
operational and maintenance expense, including higher plant maintenance costs at
PNM, higher employee related expense at PNM and TNMP, increased depreciation and
property taxes at PNM and TNMP due to increased plant in service, and higher
interest charges at PNM, TNMP and Corporate and Other. Additional information on
factors impacting results of operations for each segment is discussed below
under Results of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

PNMR and PNM have revolving credit facilities with capacities of $300.0 million
and $400.0 million that currently expire in October 2024, with two one-year
extensions options that, if exercised, would extend the maturity to October
2026, subject to approval by a majority of the lenders. Both facilities provide
for short-term borrowings and letters of credit. In addition, PNM has a $40.0
million revolving credit facility with banks having a significant presence in
New Mexico that expires in May 2026, and TNMP has a $100.0 million revolving
credit facility, which expires in September 2024 with two one-year extension
options that, if exercised, would extend the maturity to September 2026, subject
to approval by a majority of the lenders. Total availability for PNMR on a
consolidated basis was $644.1 million at July 29, 2022. The Company utilizes
these credit facilities and cash flows from operations to provide funds for both
construction and operational expenditures. PNMR also has intercompany loan
agreements with each of its subsidiaries.

PNMR projects that its consolidated capital requirements, consisting of
construction expenditures and dividends, will total $4.8 billion for 2022 -
2026, including amounts expended through June 30, 2022. These construction
expenditures include expenditures for PNM's capital initiative that includes
investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure to deliver clean
energy, enhance customer satisfaction, and increase grid resilience.

To fund capital spending requirements to meet growth that balances earnings goals, credit metrics and liquidity needs, the Company has entered into a number of other financing arrangements. A complete listing of current financing arrangements is contained in Note 9 and Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

After considering the effects of these financings and the Company's short-term
liquidity position as of July 29, 2022, the Company has consolidated maturities
of long-term and short-term debt aggregating approximately $452.5 million
through August 2023. In addition to internal cash generation, the Company
anticipates that it will be necessary to obtain additional long-term financing
in the form of debt refinancing, new debt issuances, and/or new equity in order
to fund its capital requirements during the 2022-2026 period. The Company
currently believes that its internal cash generation, existing credit
arrangements, and access to public and private capital markets will provide
sufficient resources to meet the Company's capital requirements for at least the
next twelve months. As of June 30, 2022 and July 29, 2022, the Company was in
compliance with its debt covenants.

Information regarding the factors impacting PNMR's operating results by segment are set forth below.

Segment Information

The following discussion is based on the segment methodology that PNMR's
management uses for making operating decisions and assessing performance of its
various business activities. See Note 2 for more information on PNMR's operating
segments.

PNM

PNM defines utility margin as electric operating revenues less cost of energy,
which consists primarily of fuel and purchase power costs. PNM believes that
utility margin provides a more meaningful basis for evaluating operations than
electric operating revenues since substantially all fuel and purchase power
costs are offset in revenues as those costs are passed through to customers
under PNM's FPPAC. Utility margin is not a financial measure required to be
presented and is considered a non-GAAP measure.

The following table summarizes the operating results for PNM:

(1) PNM purchases energy for a large customer on the customer's behalf and
delivers the energy to the customer's location through PNM's transmission
system. PNM charges the customer for the cost of the energy as a direct pass
through to the customer with only a minor impact in utility margin resulting
from providing ancillary services.
(2) Increase in other sales for resale is the result of participation in the EIM
beginning in April 2021.

TNMP

TNMP defines utility margin as electric operating revenues less cost of energy,
which consists of costs charged by third-party transmission providers. TNMP
believes that utility margin provides a more meaningful basis for evaluating
operations than electric operating revenues since all third-party transmission
costs are passed on to consumers through a transmission cost recovery factor.
Utility margin is not a financial measure required to be presented and is
considered a non-GAAP measure.

The following table summarizes the operating results for TNMP:

Corporate and Other operating expenses shown above are net of amounts allocated
to PNM and TNMP under shared services agreements. The amounts allocated include
certain expenses shown as depreciation and amortization and other income
(deductions) in the table above. The changes in operating expense for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2022 include decreases of $1.4 million and $7.1
million in costs related to the Merger that were not allocated to PNM or TNMP.
Substantially all depreciation and amortization expense is offset in operating
expenses as a result of allocation of these costs to other business segments.
