TXNM Energy (NYSE: TXNM) today released its 2025 third quarter results. As previously announced, TXNM Energy is not affirming previously issued earnings guidance for 2025 and does not plan to issue revised earnings guidance during the pending transaction.
“Third quarter results incorporate the implementation of the first phase of approved rates in New Mexico and newly approved transmission recovery in Texas, along with additional equity issued during the quarter,” said Don Tarry, President and CEO of TXNM Energy. “We have initiated the regulatory approval process for our transaction with Blackstone Infrastructure with filings that address the key issues raised during our conversations with local stakeholders and community groups. We look forward to continued conversations through the regulatory process and achieving the best path forward to invest in positive outcomes for our customers and communities across New Mexico and Texas.”
TRANSACTION UPDATE
On May 19, 2025, TXNM Energy announced an agreement under which affiliates of Blackstone Infrastructure will acquire the outstanding common stock of TXNM Energy for $61.25 per share. Shareholders approved the transaction on August 28, 2025.
The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals from the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission ("NMPRC"), Public Utility Commission of Texas ("PUCT"), Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC"), Department of Justice (Hart Scott-Rodino Clearance), Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Federal Communications Commission. On August 25, 2025, applications were filed with the NMPRC, PUCT and FERC.
TXNM Energy continues to anticipate that the closing of the acquisition will occur in the second half of 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the customary closing conditions, including among other things, receipt of required state and federal regulatory approvals.
REGULATORY UPDATE
TNMP’s second Transmission Cost of Service (TCOS) filing for 2025 was approved and implemented in the third quarter, providing recovery for $87 million of rate base. On July 31, 2025, TNMP filed its second Distribution Cost Recovery Factor (DCRF) application, seeking recovery for an additional $28 million of rate base to support ongoing investment in distribution infrastructure.
On August 6, 2025, PNM filed an application with the NMPRC for approval of a CCN to construct, own, and operate 30 megawatts of energy storage. The application consists of six megawatt batteries to be constructed at five existing PNM-owned solar facilities at an estimated cost of $78 million. These investments will provide more flexibility to our grid and to assist in serving our summer peak season when operational.

EPS Results by Segment
| GAAP Diluted EPS | | Ongoing Diluted EPS | |
|---|
| Q3 2025 | Q3 2024 | | Q3 2025 | Q3 2024 |
|---|
| PNM | $0.95 | $1.20 | | $0.98 | $1.18 |
| TNMP | $0.38 | $0.39 | | $0.46 | $0.39 |

| Consolidated TXNM Energy | $1.22 | $1.45 | | $1.33 | $1.43 |
Net changes to GAAP and ongoing earnings in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 include:
- PNM: Rate relief from the implementation of the first phase of the approved 2025 Rate Request, higher retail load and transmission revenues, higher realized gains on investment securities and the timing of excess deferred income taxes were offset by lower weather-related usage, increased O&M, higher depreciation, property tax and interest expense associated with new capital investments and increased demand charges from energy storage agreements added in late 2024.
- TNMP: Rate recovery through the Distribution Cost Recovery Factor (DCRF) and Transmission Cost of Service (TCOS) rate mechanisms and higher retail load were partially offset by lower weather-related usage and higher depreciation and property tax expense associated with new capital investments.
- Corporate and Other: Lower interest expense due to lower debt balances increased earnings.
GAAP and ongoing earnings per share were reduced in the third quarter of 2025 by shares issued as part of 2024 forward sales agreements of $150 million, as well as shares issued in June and August 2025 for proceeds of $800 million.
In addition, GAAP earnings in the third quarter of 2025 included $2.1 million of net unrealized losses on investment securities compared to $9.5 million of net unrealized gains in the third quarter of 2024. GAAP earnings in the third quarter of 2025 included $14.0 million of costs related to the planned acquisition. GAAP earnings in the third quarter of 2024 included $6.1 million of regulatory disallowances.

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 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. Reconciliations between GAAP and ongoing earnings are contained in schedules 1-4.
