Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October 29, 2010, PNM Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its unaudited results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010. 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, net earnings, earnings per share, cash earnings and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The Company uses ongoing earnings, ongoing earnings per diluted share (or ongoing diluted earnings per share), cash earnings, 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 net unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on economic hedges, the net change in unrealized impairments on assets held in trusts for nuclear decommissioning, and certain other non-recurring or infrequent 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.
As previously announced, on January 30, 2009, PNM successfully completed the sale of its natural gas operations to New Mexico Gas Company. The gas operations are classified as discontinued operations under GAAP. Management continued to actively manage the gas operations until closing to fulfill its obligations to its regulated customers. Therefore, management determined to include discontinued operations in ongoing earnings prior to closing to reflect these obligations. Under GAAP, depreciation is not recorded on assets included in discontinued operations. However, depreciation on these assets was reflected in ongoing earnings.
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.
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. Management is generally not able to estimate the impact of the reconciling items between ongoing earnings guidance and forecasted GAAP earnings, nor their probable impact on GAAP earnings; therefore, management is generally not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for 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 and the net change in unrealized impairments on assets held in trusts for nuclear decommissioning, as discussed above. In addition, the Company uses forecasts of ongoing EBITDA and cash earnings guidance to provide investors with management’s expectations of additional indicators of ongoing financial performance. Since forecasts of EBITDA and cash earnings are derived from forecasted ongoing earnings, management is not able reconcile these items to a GAAP equivalent.
