What Went Well and What Went Wrong

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Revenue resilience but earnings pressure: Modest top-line growth amid cost headwinds and dilution led to EPS compression; ongoing EPS $0.25 vs $0.60 YoY .
- Regulatory catalysts: PNM rate increase phased in (50% July 1, 2025; remainder April 1, 2026) and TNMP DCRF recovery support medium-term earnings visibility .
- Transaction overhang: Guidance withdrawn; closing targeted for H2 2026 with $61.25/share cash consideration; equity already issued impacts per-share metrics .
- Investment cycle continues: Higher depreciation, property tax, interest expense and storage demand charges reflect ongoing infrastructure buildout; focus on long-term returns .
- Dividend maintained: $0.4075 quarterly payout reaffirmed; income profile intact pending transaction .
- Near-term trading lens: Expect sensitivity to regulatory milestones, transaction progression, and cost trajectories (insurance, interest, depreciation) .
- Medium-term thesis: Improved regulated recovery mechanisms (NMPRC/PUCT approvals) and resource additions (450MW in 2028) underpin rate base growth; deal close would crystallize value at set consideration .
