SEC Filing Summary: Form 8-K
Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed on May 19, 2009, by PNM Resources, Inc. (PNMR) and its subsidiary Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM). The filing addresses the retrospective adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160 (SFAS 160), "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The report updates the 2008 Annual Reports on Form 10-K to reflect reclassifications required by the new standard. Texas-New Mexico Power Company (TNMP) is included for reader convenience but was not impacted by the standard.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide specific numerical values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. Instead, it focuses on the qualitative impact of the accounting change:
- Impact on Earnings: The adoption of SFAS 160 had no impact on PNMR's previously reported earnings (loss) per share or common stockholders' equity.
- Impact on PNM: There was no impact on PNM's previously reported earnings (loss) available for common stock or common stockholder's equity.
- Impact on TNMP: SFAS 160 had no impact on TNMP.
- Financial Statements: The filing incorporates exhibits containing updated "Selected Financial Data," "Management's Discussion and Analysis," and "Financial Statements" reflecting the retrospective reclassification of non-controlling interests into equity.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The material change disclosed is the retrospective reclassification of amounts presented in the financial statements of PNMR and PNM to comply with SFAS 160. This change alters the presentation of non-controlling interests and the framework for recognizing net income attributable to the controlling interest. All other information from the 2008 Annual Reports remains unchanged.
