Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 Statements made in this news release for PNM
Resources, Inc. (“PNMR”), 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
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. PNMR, 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, PNMR, PNM, and TNMP
caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements.
PNMR'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.
Additionally, there are risks and uncertainties in connection with
the proposed acquisition of us by AVANGRID which may adversely
affect our business, future opportunities, employees and common
stock, including without limitation, (i) the expected timing and
likelihood of completion of the pending Merger, including the
timing, receipt and terms and conditions of any required
governmental and regulatory approvals of the pending Merger that
could reduce anticipated benefits or cause the parties to abandon
the transaction, (ii) the failure by AVANGRID to obtain the
necessary financing arrangement set forth in commitment letter
received in connection with the Merger, (iii) the occurrence of any
event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the
termination of the Merger Agreement, (iv) the possibility that
PNMR’s shareholders may not approve the Merger Agreement, (v) the
risk that the parties may not be able to satisfy the conditions to
the proposed Merger in a timely manner or at all, (vi) risks
related to disruption of management time from ongoing business
operations due to the proposed Merger, and (vii) the risk that the
proposed transaction and its announcement could have an adverse
effect on the ability of PNMR to retain and hire key personnel and
maintain relationships with its customers and suppliers, and on its
operating results and businesses generally. 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 For an explanation of the non-GAAP
financial measures that appear on certain slides in this
presentation (ongoing earnings, ongoing earnings per diluted share
and ongoing earnings guidance measures), as well as a
reconciliation to GAAP measures, please refer to the Company’s
website at http://www.pnmresources.com/investors/results.cfm. 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.
