Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K is a current report filed on February 13, 2007, by PNM Resources, Inc., Public Service Company of New Mexico, and Texas-New Mexico Power Company. The filing announces preliminary unaudited results of operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2006.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific numerical values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. These figures are contained in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1, which is incorporated by reference but not detailed within the body of this 8-K document.
Material Changes and Non-GAAP Measures
The registrants utilize non-GAAP financial measures to present performance metrics excluding the effects of litigation settlements, accounting or regulatory changes, restructuring, and merger activities. Management states these measures remove variances not indicative of fundamental earnings capacity. The filing notes that differences may exist between ongoing earnings guidance and GAAP earnings due to items such as acquisition integration costs, for which a corresponding GAAP equivalent is generally not provided.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management provides ongoing earnings guidance but notes limitations in estimating the impact of certain items on GAAP earnings. The filing includes a limitation on incorporation by reference, stating that the information furnished under Item 2.02 is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not subject to the liability of that section.
