“Our financial expectations are driven by the continued expansion of grid infrastructure supporting growth and reliability in our Texas service territory. In New Mexico, the proposed settlement in our rate review is phased-in to assist our customers in managing the impact,” said Pat Vincent-Collawn, TXNM Energy Chairman and CEO. “As we look forward, we will continue to prioritize investments for a more reliable, resilient grid that will provide direct benefits to our customers in New Mexico and Texas for years to come.”
GROWTH OUTLOOK As part of its update, TXNM Energy rolled forward its 5-year capital investment plan to encompass the years 2025-2029 and incorporate additional investments, including Texas transmission projects resulting from the ERCOT Permian Basin Reliability Study. As a result, TXNM Energy's 5-year capital investment plan increased to $7.8 billion, a 26% increase over the prior 5-year plan. Regulated rate base grows 12% under the plan compared to 2025 levels, and earnings per share over this period are targeted to grow between 7% and 9%.
2025 EARNINGS GUIDANCE 2025 ongoing earnings guidance was introduced at a range of $2.74 to $2.84 per share, reflecting continued strong growth at TNMP and a mid-year implementation of the first phase of PNM's stipulated rate increase.
CONSOLIDATED 2024 EARNINGS TXNM Energy reported 2024 GAAP earnings of $2.67 per diluted share. Ongoing earnings of $2.74 per diluted share achieved Company's narrowed expectation for the high end of original guidance.

PNM GAAP earnings in 2023 included $242.0 million in regulatory disallowances resulting from a settlement associated with the retirement of the San Juan Generating Station and disallowances related to legacy generation assets in PNM's prior rate case outcome. These costs were offset by $33.3 million of net unrealized gains on investment securities in 2023 compared to $2.7 million of net unrealized gains in 2024.
SEGMENT REPORTING OF 2024 EARNINGS

— TNMP – an electric transmission and distribution utility in Texas.

EPS Results by Segment GAAP Diluted EPS Ongoing Diluted EPS 2024 2023 2024 2023PNM $2.12 $0.41 $2.16 $2.22TNMP $1.14 $1.10 $1.15 $1.11Corporate and Other ($0.59) ($0.49) ($0.57) ($0.51)Consolidated TXNM Energy Energy $2.67 $1.02 $2.74 $2.82
Net changes to earnings in 2024 compared to 2023 include:
— PNM: Higher realized gains reflecting improved market performance of decommissioning and reclamation trusts, increased customer usage despite milder summer temperatures and new rates implemented at PNM Retail and FERC were partially offset by lower transmission margins, increased planned maintenance at gas plants, higher depreciation rates and increased depreciation and property tax expense associated with new capital investments. As discussed above, GAAP earnings are also improved due to the 2023 regulatory disallowances, partially offset by lower net unrealized gains on investment securities.
— TNMP: Increased rate recovery through the Transmission Cost of Service (TCOS) and Distribution Cost Recovery Factor (DCRF) mechanisms and lower O&M expenses were partially offset by milder summer temperatures and depreciation, property tax and interest expense associated with new capital investments.
— Corporate and Other: Higher interest rates on variable rate debt, net of hedges, and the absence ofNMRD income following its sale in early 2024 increased losses.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 Statements made in this news release for TXNM Energy, Inc. (“TXNM”), Public Service Company of New Mexico (“PNM”), or Texas-New Mexico Power Company (“TNMP”) (collectively, the “Company”) that relate to future events or expectations, projections, estimates, intentions, goals, targets, and strategies, including the unaudited financial results and earnings guidance, are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned that all forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations and estimates and apply only as of the date of this report. TXNM, PNM, and TNMP assume no obligation to update this information. Because actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, TXNM, PNM, and TNMP caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements. TXNM's, PNM's, and TNMP's business, financial condition, cash flow, and operating results are influenced by many factors, which are often beyond their control, that can cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. For a discussion of risk factors and other important factors affecting forward-looking statements, please see the Company's Form 10-K, Form 10-Q filings and the information included in the Company's Forms 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which factors are specifically incorporated by reference herein.
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. 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 1-4.
