•Delivering at or above industry-average long-term earnings growth, with a dividend payout ratio between 50 and 60 percent of earnings
•Maintaining investment grade credit ratings
Business Focus
To achieve the Company’s business objectives, focus is directed in key areas: Safe, Reliable and Affordable Power; Utility Plant Investments; Superior Customer Experience; Environmentally Responsible Power; and Stakeholder and Community Engagement. The Company works closely with its stakeholders to ensure that resource plans and infrastructure investments benefit from robust public dialogue and balance the diverse needs of our communities. Equally important is the focus of TXNM’s utilities on customer satisfaction and community engagement.
Safe, Reliable, and Affordable Power
Safety is the first priority of our business and a core value of the Company. TXNM utilizes a Safety Management System to provide clear direction, objectives and targets for managing safety performance and minimizing risks and empowers employees to “Be the Reason Everyone Goes Home Safe”.
TXNM measure’s reliability and benchmark performance of PNM and TNMP against other utilities using industry-standard metrics, including System Average Interruption Duration Index (“SAIDI”) and System Average Interruption Frequency Index (“SAIFI”). PNM’s and TNMP’s investment plans include projects designed to support reliability and reduce the amount of time customers are without power.
TXNM and its utilities are aware of the important roles they play in enhancing economic vitality in their service
territories. Management believes that maintaining strong and modern electric infrastructure is critical to ensuring reliability and supporting economic growth. When contemplating expanding or relocating their operations, businesses consider energy affordability and reliability to be important factors. PNM and TNMP strive to balance service affordability with infrastructure investment to maintain a high level of electric reliability and to deliver a safe and superior customer experience. Investing in PNM’s and TNMP’s infrastructure is critical to ensuring reliability and meeting future energy needs. Both utilities have long-established records of providing customers with safe and reliable electric service.
PNM participates in the EIM, a real-time wholesale energy trading market operated by the CAISO, that enables participating electric utilities to buy and sell energy. The EIM aggregates the variability of electricity generation and load for multiple balancing authority areas and utility jurisdictions. In addition, the EIM facilitates greater integration of renewable resources through the aggregation of flexible resources by capturing diversity benefits from the expanding geographic footprint and the expanded potential uses for those resources. The NMPRC approved collection of PNM’s regulatory asset to recover the initial capital investments and implementation and ongoing costs necessary to participate in the EIM in the 2024 Rate Change final order. PNM passes the cost savings achieved by participating in the EIM through to customers under PNM’s FPPAC. PNM also plans to join the EDAM, which is a voluntary day-ahead regional market that expands on CAISO’s EIM market, as early as 2027.
PNM joined the WRAP in April 2023 to help ensure regional resource availability is visible and coordinated in the event PNM customers are critically impacted by a resource emergency. WRAP is currently in the non-binding phases of the program, which is expected to continue through the summer of 2027. PNM has successfully complied with all WRAP requirements to date and fully supports the need to align a resource adequacy program with coordination between power providers. However, on October 28, 2025, PNM notified the Western Power Pool that it has elected to withdraw from WRAP and will not proceed into the binding phase. PNM will seek to align resource adequacy coordination with others in the EDAM regional market to maximize customer benefits.
In May 2024, PNM filed its updated WMP and its PSPS Plan with the NMPRC. The plans enhance Company wildfire prevention efforts and identify conditions for preventive shutoffs. PNM’s WMP addresses the increasing severity and frequency of extreme weather events and increasing wildfire risk and is focused on situational awareness, field personnel safety practices and operational wildfire mitigation strategies to prevent the accidental ignition of wildfires. PNM’s PSPS Plan is designed to proactively de-energize electrical facilities in identified areas of extreme wildfire risk under certain conditions to reduce the potential of those electrical facilities becoming a wildfire ignition source or contributing to the spread of wildfires.
In June 2024, TNMP filed its WMP with the PUCT in response to recent wildfire events impacting the electric utility industry and the customers it serves. TNMP’s WMP establishes a wildfire risk awareness and mitigation strategy that becomes part of a fire safe culture across the Company. The WMP increases grid awareness and serves as a blueprint to help reduce the risk of the accidental ignition of wildfires. The WMP also provides new strategies, technologies, and operating guidelines to enhance grid resiliency and public safety.
Utility Plant Investments
During the 2024 and 2025 periods, PNM and TNMP together invested $2.4 billion in utility plants, including transmission and distribution systems, substations, power plants, and nuclear fuel. Investment plans emphasize new investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure to support growing demand with grid reliability and resilience and to deliver clean energy. The Company has been improving the diversification of its rate base among regulatory jurisdictions, moving TNMP and FERC transmission rate base to over half of the consolidated rate base.
Investments at TNMP support the continued high growth across each region of its service territory. Economic growth across Texas continues to push the demands on TNMP’s system to new levels, including a new system peak in September 2025. In 2023, the Texas legislature passed a series of bills aimed at encouraging investments to enhance grid reliability and resilience, while the PUCT continues to develop rules in support of this new legislation. TNMP will continue to submit filings for recovery of its investments, in accordance with these new rules, in addition to the existing rate recovery mechanisms. In June 2025, HB 5247 added Section 36.216 to PURA, which immediately authorized certain electric utilities, including TNMP, to offset depreciation, property tax expenses, and carrying costs with alternative revenue and recognize a regulatory asset for qualifying investments until the following year in which they would file a single, annual proceeding with the PUCT.
Investments at PNM are aimed at supporting economic development and advancing the infrastructure beyond its original architecture to a more flexible and redundant system accommodating growing amounts of intermittent and distributed generation resources and integrating evolving technologies that provide long-term customer value. New Mexico’s clean energy future depends on a reliable, resilient, secure grid to deliver an evolving mix of energy resources to customers. A CCN requesting approval of a new transmission line and the application seeking to defer costs of two economic development projects filed under SB 170 support economic development and projects included in the Grid Modernization Plan will improve customers’ ability to customize their use of energy and modernize PNM’s electric grid through infrastructure and technology improvements.
See the subheading Capital Requirements included in the full discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources below for additional discussion of the Company’s projected capital requirements.
Superior Customer Experience
The Company strives to deliver a superior customer experience. With reliability being the primary role of a transmission and distribution service provider in Texas’ deregulated market, TNMP continues to focus on keeping end-users updated about interruptions and encouraging consumer preparation when severe weather is forecasted. In 2024, TNMP made significant strides in improving customer satisfaction related to power outages by providing a more user-friendly experience on TNMP’s outage map information system, making it easier for customers to access real-time outage information. In addition, TNMP introduced a new system that allows customers to receive outage alerts through multiple communication channels to enhance transparency and to ensure customers stay informed during outages. In September 2024, TNMP sent employees to assist in restoring power to those communities impacted by Hurricane Helene and in January 2025 TNMP was announced as an Emergency Response Award recipient by the Edison Electric Institute (“EEI”), an association representing all US investor-owned electric companies. The Emergency Response Awards recognize recovery and assistance efforts of electric companies following service disruptions caused by extreme weather or other natural events.
In 2025, PNM continued to hold in-person engagements with residential and business customers through customer advisory councils. These engagements have helped PNM to build and improve customer relationships and have provided PNM with valuable customer insights to gauge customer interest levels towards programs and services to be highly customer centric. Additionally, PNM continues to focus its efforts on enhancing the customer experience through customer service improvements, including enhanced digital payment options, strategic customer outreach, and improved communications. In early 2025, PNM introduced a redesigned customer bill to make it easier for customers to understand their bill as a part of a broader commitment to improve transparency and usability. While the electric utility industry continues to experience declines in customer satisfaction as measured by J.D. Power, PNM’s ranking in 2025 remained stable, reflecting the Company’s sustained efforts to improve the customer journey through a more seamless and customer-friendly experience. PNM continues to focus on addressing energy affordability by promoting participation in utility programs among households with high energy burden to offset high bills. PNM has also implemented efforts to increase participation in low-income energy efficiency programs, including providing additional aid through the PNM Good Neighbor Fund, partnering with state agencies to make it easier to access funding, improving access to clean energy through expanded outreach and communication, and implementing low-income transportation electrification programs. As a result of PNM’s efforts, 6,509 families in need received emergency assistance through the PNM Good Neighbor Fund for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Environmentally Responsible Power
TXNM has a long-standing record of environmental stewardship. PNM’s environmental focus is in three key areas:
•Developing strategies to provide reliable and affordable power while transitioning to a 100% carbon-free generating portfolio by 2040
•Preparing PNM’s system to meet New Mexico’s increasing renewable energy requirements as cost-effectively as possible
•Increasing energy efficiency participation
TXNM’s corporate website (www.txnmenergy.com) includes a dedicated section providing key environmental and other information related to PNM’s and TNMP’s operations, including information that collectively demonstrates the Company’s commitment to sustainability. This information highlights plans for PNM to be coal-free no later than 2031 and to achieve a carbon-free generating portfolio by 2040. Achieving our goal of carbon-free by 2040 is dependent on balancing reliability, cost considerations, and maturity of emerging technologies.
PNM’s Grid Modernization Plan is a major step forward in providing reliable, affordable and sustainable energy. As part of that plan, PNM will promote energy equity by installing technology like smart meters and making distribution upgrades in low-income areas first in order to allow lower-income customers to gain insights into their energy usage to improve affordability and create fairer access to energy. In addition, PNM’s Time-of-Day pilot approved in the 2024 Rate Change final order incentivizes customers, through price signals, to use energy during the day when renewable generation is abundant.
The IRA provided benefits for TXNM and its customers by extending and enhancing clean energy incentives such as the investment tax credit and production tax credit. As the Company continues its transition away from carbon emitting sources, these credits reduce the cost of renewable investments. In addition, the IRA includes a new production tax credit for existing nuclear facilities that may create an added benefit for PNM’s ownership in the carbon-free PVNGS. Other IRA provisions encourage transportation electrification with new EV credits and added incentives for vehicle charging infrastructure. In July 2025, the OBBBA was enacted and is expected to accelerate the phase-out of certain IRA energy tax credits and restrict the availability of credits for “foreign entities of concern,” as such term is used in the OBBBA.
Electric Vehicles
TXNM’s sustainability goals include plans for additional emissions reductions through the electrification of its vehicle fleet. Growing the number of EVs within the Company’s fleet will benefit the environment and lower fuel costs furthering the commitment to sustainability. Under the commitment, existing fleet vehicles will be replaced as they are retired with an increasing percentage of EVs.
To demonstrate TXNM’s commitment to increase the electrification of vehicles in its service territory, PNM implemented its first TEP in 2022 and received approval of its 2024-2026 TEP in 2024. PNM has launched new transportation electrification offerings that support customer adoption of EVs by addressing barriers to adoption. PNM’s TEP program budget provides financial support to residential and non-residential customers towards the purchase of EV chargers and/or site make-ready costs, as well as customer education and outreach on EV-specific electricity rates to encourage charging during off-peak periods. More than 25% of the program budget is dedicated to low- and moderate-income customers to plan for an equitable transition to an electrified transportation sector.
PNM participates in the National Electric Highway Coalition, which plans to build fast-charging ports along major U.S. travel corridors. The coalition, with approximately 50 investor-owned electric companies is committed to providing EV fast charging ports that will allow the public to drive EVs with confidence throughout the country’s major roadways. To support this initiative, PNM’s TEP program includes the installation of a charging network along major roadways in New Mexico.
Renewable Energy and Energy Storage
PNM’s utility-owned solar and energy storage capacity, as well as solar, energy storage, wind, and geothermal procurements from facilities in service as of December 31, 2025, have a total net generation capacity of 3,244 MW. In addition to PNM’s owned and third-party contracted solar facilities, PNM also has a customer distributed solar generation program that represented 334.1 MW at December 31, 2025. The NMPRC has approved plans for PNM to procure energy and RECs from additional resources to serve retail customers and a data center located in PNM’s service territory. PNM’s approved resources have a generation capacity of 1,453 MW. This includes approximately 285 MW of additional capacity under the Community Solar Act which will provide customers an additional option of accessing solar energy.
PNM will continue to seek approval to procure renewable resources as needed to meet forecasted peak load requirements to serve its customers and New Mexico’s RPS and carbon-free resource requirements, while balancing the impact to customers’ electricity costs.
Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency plays a significant role in helping to keep customers’ electricity costs low while meeting their energy needs and is one of the Company’s approaches to supporting environmentally responsible power. PNM’s and TNMP’s energy efficiency and load management portfolios continue to achieve robust results. In 2025, incremental energy saved as a result of participation in PNM’s portfolio of energy efficiency programs is estimated to be 84 GWh. This is equivalent to the annual consumption of approximately 11,639 homes in PNM’s service territory. PNM’s load management and energy efficiency programs also help lower peak demand requirements. In 2025, TNMP’s incremental energy saved as a result of participation in TNMP’s energy efficiency programs is estimated to be approximately 20 GWh. This is equivalent to the annual consumption of approximately 2,762 homes in TNMP’s service territory, estimated using a national average avoided emissions rate. TNMP’s high-performance homes residential new construction energy efficiency program has earned the Energy Star Partner of the Year award for 8 years, including 6 years receiving the Sustained Excellence Award, recognizing long-term commitment to fighting climate change and protecting public health through energy efficiency. For information on PNM’s and TNMP’s energy efficiency filing with the NMPRC and PUCT see Note 17.
Water Conservation and Solid Waste Reduction
PNM continues to make progress in its efforts to reduce the amount of fresh water used to make electricity. Continued growth in PNM’s solar and wind energy resources, energy efficiency programs, and innovative uses of air-cooling technology have contributed to this reduction. Water usage has continued to decline as PNM has substituted less fresh-water-intensive generation resources to replace SJGS. As the Company moves forward with its mission to achieve carbon-free generation, it expects that more significant water savings will be gained. Shutting down SJGS in 2022 and Four Corners in 2031 will allow the Company to reach our goals for reduced freshwater use at 80% by 2035 and 90% by 2040 from 2005 levels. Focusing on responsible stewardship of New Mexico’s scarce water resources improves PNM’s water-resilience in the face of persistent drought and ever-increasing demands for water to spur the growth of New Mexico’s economy.
In addition to the above areas of focus, the Company is working to reduce the amount of solid waste going to landfills through increased recycling and reduction of waste. In 2025, 18 of the Company’s 22 facilities met or exceeded the solid waste diversion goal of a 65% diversion rate.
Stakeholder and Community Engagement
The Company is committed to fostering relationships with its customers, stakeholders, and communities. Through outreach, collaboration, and various community-oriented programs, the Company has demonstrated a commitment to building productive relationships with stakeholders, including customers, community partners, regulators, intervenors, legislators, and shareholders. Local relationships and one-on-one communications remain two of the most valuable ways both PNM and TNMP connect with their stakeholders. Both companies maintain long-standing relationships with governmental representatives and key electricity consumers to ensure that these stakeholders are updated on Company investments and initiatives. Key electricity consumers also have dedicated Company contacts that support their important service needs.
The Company utilizes a number of communications channels and strategic content to serve and engage its many stakeholders. PNM’s website provides the details of major regulatory filings, including general rate requests, as well as the background on PNM’s efforts to maintain reliability, keep prices affordable, and protect the environment. The website is also a resource for information about PNM’s operations and community outreach efforts to customers on various topics such as education, outage alerts, safety, wildfire safety, customer service, community partnerships in philanthropic projects, and plans for building a sustainable energy future for New Mexico and to transition to a carbon-free generating portfolio. PNM also leverages social media to communicate about some of these topics with certain customers. TNMP’s website provides information on customized energy efficiency programs and TNMP rates, in addition to other community outreach information. As discussed above, TXNM’s corporate website includes a dedicated section providing additional information regarding the Company’s commitment to sustainability.
Throughout 2025, PNM held in-person community events focused on wildfire safety and educating customers about the PSPS process and wildfire mitigation efforts to protect the public. These gatherings are designed to share critical information, coordinate with local resources, and listen to feedback from local communities. PNM hosted four events in High Fire Risk Areas (“HFRA”) across New Mexico in 2025 and expects to host similar events in 2026. In addition, PNM included local emergency managers in its periodic meetings, referred to as “wildfire tabletops,” in 2025. Each of these engagements builds and strengthens our preparedness as a Company for wildfire prevention and response.
TXNM has a long tradition of supporting the communities that it serves in New Mexico and Texas. During the three years ended December 31, 2025, TXNM, through corporate giving, contributed $8.7 million to civic, educational, environmental, tribal, low income, and economic development organizations. Additionally, the PNM Resources Foundation (the “Foundation”) has provided an annual average of $1.2 million in grant funding over the past three years across New Mexico and Texas. Throughout 2025, the Foundation focused on grants for wellness and athletic activities within the community and grants for the environment. These grants help nonprofits innovate or sustain programs to grow and develop their missions, develop and implement environmental programs, and provide educational opportunities. The Foundation continues to expand its matching and volunteer grant programs and the annual amount of matching donations available to each of its employees. The Foundation has also approved an increase to the amount awarded to employees through the employee crisis management fund, which provides our employees with financial support for basic living needs during catastrophic emergencies and times of crises. PNM collaborated with community foundations to help support the effort and direct funds where they were most needed for those who have been affected by the wildfires, floods and hurricanes in surrounding communities in addition to supporting law enforcement and first responders.
TXNM recognizes its responsibility to support programs and organizations that enrich the quality of life across its service territories and seeks opportunities to further demonstrate its commitment in these areas as needs arise. In response to community needs, TXNM partners with other corporate funders to support nonprofits and small businesses. TXNM also collaborates on community projects, low-income customer assistance programs, and employee volunteerism.
PNM stands out as one of the few investor-owned utilities operating a tribal relations office, which is focused on serving and collaborating with 18 of the 23 sovereign nations in New Mexico and the Southwest. PNM created the Navajo Nation Workforce Training Scholarship Program to provide support for Navajo tribal members and to encourage the pursuit of education and training in existing and emerging jobs in the communities in which they live. PNM has invested in paid summer college engineering internship programs for American Indian students in the greater Albuquerque area, established the PNM Pueblo Education Scholarship and Endowment to invest in higher education for Native American Indian students, and supported the development of an entrepreneur complex located in Albuquerque and operated by the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. PNM continues to partner with the Navajo Nation in the Light Up Navajo project, piloted in 2019 and modeled as a mutual aid project to connect Navajo homes without electricity to the power grid. PNM is one of 44 utilities across 16 states to participate in improving the quality of life for families by bringing electricity to over 700 homes since inception of the project. PNM has also partnered with New Mexico universities to enhance intern programs and developed a business coalition model to drive economic development through intern partnerships.
Employee volunteers are the lifeblood of a healthy corporate culture. Community giving through volunteers’ time and effort is at the heart of employee engagement. Throughout 2025, the Company held large-scale volunteer events, working alongside nonprofits, schools, and vulnerable communities throughout New Mexico and Texas. More than 640 employees in both states participated in the annual “Day of Service,” a workday event encouraging employee volunteerism and serving more
than 40 organizations. Throughout the year, employees volunteer their time generously through independent volunteer activities and board participation. Employees strengthen community resilience by giving more than 4,000 volunteer hours each year to support the health, safety, and well-being of diverse communities.
Financial Focus
Earning Authorized Returns on Regulated Businesses
TXNM’s success in accomplishing its financial objectives is highly dependent on two key factors: fair and timely regulatory treatment for its utilities and the utilities’ strong operating performance. The Company has multiple strategies to achieve favorable regulatory treatment, all of which have as their foundation a focus on the basics: safety, operational excellence, and customer satisfaction, while engaging stakeholders to build productive relationships. Both PNM and TNMP seek cost recovery for their investments through general rate cases, periodic cost of service filings, and various rate riders. The rates PNM and TNMP charge customers are subject to traditional rate regulation by the NMPRC, FERC, and the PUCT. Additional information about rate filings is provided in Note 17.
Fair and timely rate treatment from regulators is crucial to PNM and TNMP in earning their allowed returns and critical for TXNM to achieve its financial objectives. TXNM believes that earning allowed returns is viewed positively by credit rating agencies and that improvements in the Company’s ratings could lower costs for utility customers.
State Regulation and Legislation
TNMP
In the 2023 and 2025 Texas Legislative sessions several bills were passed to support utility reliability and resiliency by encouraging and protecting utility infrastructure investments. Under the new legislation, TNMP filed its 2025-2027 SRP in August 2024 and filed an unopposed settlement with the PUCT in December 2024 that was approved with slight modifications in March 2025. Another bill directed ERCOT to develop reliability plans for the Permian Basin which resulted in the need for additional investments in the West Texas service territory. In 2025, HB 5247 was passed, which streamlines cost recovery for certain utilities, including TNMP, who continue to invest in the Permian Basin territory. HB 5247 allows for the offset of depreciation, property tax expenses, and carrying costs with alternative revenue, and recognition of a regulatory asset for qualifying investments that are not currently reflected in rates, until such time a single, annual proceeding can be filed to adjust non-fuel rates. These pieces of legislation demonstrate that Texas continues to encourage utility investment and prioritizes timely rate recovery. TNMP will look to prioritize investments aligned with these measures that improve the quality of service for current and future customers.
Beyond legislative actions, the regulatory framework in Texas strongly encourages investments into the grid by providing timely recovery through rate mechanisms outside of general rate cases. The PUCT has approved mechanisms that allow TNMP to recover capital invested in transmission and distribution projects without having to file a general rate case. The PUCT also approved rate riders that allow TNMP to recover amounts related to energy efficiency and third-party transmission costs. TNMP also has approximately 282,000 advanced meters across its service territory, the costs of which are being recovered through base rates.
TNMP Base Rate Review
In November 2025, TNMP filed the TNMP Base Rate Review with the PUCT, requesting recovery of $2.8 billion of rate base, a requested ROE of 10.4%, and a 47.54% equity ratio. The TNMP Base Rate Review also includes increases in operations and maintenance expenses that are not recovered through semi-annual TCOS and DCRF filings, excludes increases in interest expense resulting from refinancing of debt associated with the proposed Merger, and requests recovery of $20.5 million associated with Hurricane Beryl restoration costs over a five-year period. If approved by the PUCT, the new rates are expected to become effective in mid-2026. See Note 17.
PNM
The 2025 New Mexico Legislative session included several bills that were passed to support economic development, clean energy, grid modernization, and wildfire preparedness. Amongst the bills passed were companion bills: New Mexico Senate Bill 169 (the “Site Readiness Bill”) and New Mexico Senate Bill 170 (the “Power Readiness Bill”).
The Site Readiness Bill creates a dedicated funding mechanism and a structured process for identifying, assessing, and preparing strategic economic development sites across the state, designed to position New Mexico to compete with other states actively investing in site readiness. It appropriates approximately $24 million for the site readiness fund for site-characterization studies of proposed economic development sites and site preparations of strategic economic development sites. The Site Readiness Bill also creates the Strategic Economic Development Site Advisory Committee to advise the New Mexico Economic Development Department (“NMEDD”) in selecting sites and awarding funding. The Power Readiness Bill is
intended to reduce risk, lead times, and regulatory uncertainty in acquiring additional generation resources and in building large-scale infrastructure needed to competitively serve economic development customers that create jobs. It allows a public utility to annually increase generation capacity by up to 10% of the public utility’s total system peak load. The Power Readiness Bill also shortens the time for regulatory approval of CCN filings for new, major infrastructure and allows a public utility to defer costs of economic development projects, placing them into a regulatory asset until a customer signs a contract or begins taking service. In December 2025, PNM filed an application for approval of two projects under the Power Readiness Bill; the Westpointe and Mesa Del Sol Substations (See Note 17).
The New Mexico Energy Transition Act (“ETA”)
The passage of the ETA amended the REA to require utilities operating in New Mexico to have renewable portfolios equal to 40% by 2025, 50% by 2030, 80% by 2040, and 100% zero-carbon energy by 2045. Those amendments also allow for the recovery of undepreciated investments and decommissioning costs related to qualifying EGUs that the NMPRC has required be removed from retail jurisdictional rates, provided replacement resources to be included in retail rates have lower or zero-carbon emissions. The ETA provides for a transition from fossil-fueled generating resources to renewable and other carbon-free resources by allowing utilities to issue Securitized Bonds related to the retirement of certain coal-fired generating facilities to qualified investors. See additional discussion of the ETA in Notes 16 and 17 and the issuance of the ETBC I Securitized Bonds in Note 7.
Grid Modernization Plan
On October 17, 2024, the NMPRC issued a final order approving PNM’s Grid Modernization Plan which will improve customers’ ability to customize their use of energy and benefit from the electricity grid consistent with the Grid Modernization Statute. PNM’s plan to modernize its electricity grid through infrastructure and technology improvements includes installing technology like smart meters and making distribution upgrades in low-income areas first in order to allow lower-income customers to gain insights into their energy usage to improve affordability and create fairer access to energy. The approved plan includes grid modernization investments of approximately $344 million for the first six years of a broader 11-year strategy. The approved rate rider will recover capital costs, operating expenses, and taxes associated with the investments included in the plan. In June 2025, the Grid Modernization Plan was updated to reflect an increase in investments from approximately $344 million to $367 million in the first six years and a decrease in projected operations and maintenance costs of approximately 18%. See Note 17.
Integrated Resource Plan
NMPRC rules require that investor-owned utilities file an IRP every three years. The IRP is required to cover a 20-year planning period and contain an action plan covering the first three years of that period. PNM’s accepted 2023 IRP maintains a continued focus on a carbon-free energy system by 2040. The plan highlights the need for a significant sustained addition of resources over the next two decades, replacing retiring or expiring capacity and meeting concurrent load growth, while reducing the carbon intensity of PNM’s portfolio.
In December 2024, PNM issued its 2029-2032 RFP for at least 900 MW of new energy resources to come online between 2029 and 2032, with at least 500 MW needed by 2030, and is anticipated to identify potential replacement resources for PNM’s current natural gas generation capacity as well as PNM’s ownership interest in Four Corners.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, PNM initiated its 2026 IRP process which will cover the 20-year planning period from 2026 through 2046. Consistent with historical practice, PNM is receiving public input from interested parties as part of this process. PNM expects to file its 2026 IRP with the NMPRC on or before September 1, 2026.
2028 Resource Application
On November 22, 2024, PNM filed an application with the NMPRC seeking approval of two 150 MW ESAs, a 167 MW PPA for the Valencia power plant, and a CCN for a 100 MW solar facility and a 30 MW battery, with a proposed additional 20 MW option, to be available to meet summer 2028 customer needs. On March 12, 2025, PNM and intervening parties filed an unopposed comprehensive stipulation with the NMPRC which supports approval of PNM’s application, including the proposed option to increase the 30 MW battery by an additional 20 MW. On June 26, 2025, the NMPRC approved the unopposed stipulation.
PNM Rate Riders and other
The NMPRC has approved PNM recovering fuel costs through the FPPAC, as well as rate riders for renewable energy, energy efficiency, and the TEP. These mechanisms allow for more timely recovery of investments. See Note 17.
FERC Regulation
Rates PNM charges wholesale transmission customers are subject to traditional rate regulation by FERC. Rates charged to wholesale electric transmission customers, other than customers on the Western Spirit Line, are based on a formula rate mechanism pursuant to which rates for wholesale transmission service are calculated annually in accordance with an approved formula. The formula includes updating cost of service components, including investment in plant and operating expenses, based on information contained in PNM’s annual financial report filed with FERC, as well as including projected transmission capital projects to be placed into service in the following year. The projections included are subject to true-up. Certain items, including changes to return on equity and depreciation rates, require a separate filing to be made with FERC before being included in the formula rate.
Delivering At or Above Industry-Average Long-Term Earnings Growth
TXNM’s financial objective to deliver at or above industry-average long-term earnings growth enables investors to realize the value of their investment in the Company’s business. Earnings growth is based on ongoing earnings, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes from GAAP earnings certain non-recurring, infrequent, and other items that are not indicative of fundamental changes in the earnings capacity of the Company’s operations. TXNM uses ongoing earnings to evaluate the operations of the Company and to establish goals, including those used for certain aspects of incentive compensation, for management and employees.
TXNM targets a dividend payout ratio in the 50% to 60% range of its ongoing earnings. The Board will continue to evaluate the dividend on an annual basis, considering sustainability and growth, capital planning, and industry standards. The Board approved the following increases in the indicated annual common stock dividend:
| | | | | | | | |
| Approval Date | | Percent Increase |
December 2024 | | 5.2 | % |
December 2025 | | 3.7 | |
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, TXNM has agreed not to declare, set aside, make or pay any dividend or other distribution, payable in cash, stock, property or otherwise, with respect to any of its equity securities, or make any other actual, constructive or deemed dividend or distribution in respect of any of its equity securities (except (i) TXNM may continue the declaration and payment of regular quarterly cash dividends on TXNM common stock for each quarterly period ending after the date of the Merger Agreement, in an amount not to exceed $0.4275 in 2026, with usual record and payment dates for such quarterly dividends in accordance with past dividend practice, (ii) for any cash dividend or cash distribution by a wholly-owned subsidiary of TXNM to TXNM or another wholly-owned subsidiary of TXNM, and (iii) a “stub period” dividend to holders of record of TXNM common stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time equal to the product of (1) the number of days from the record date for payment of the last quarterly dividend paid by TXNM prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (2) a daily dividend rate determined by dividing the amount of the last quarterly dividend paid prior to the Effective Time by ninety-one).
Maintaining Investment Grade Credit Ratings
The Company is committed to maintaining investment grade issuer credit ratings in order to reduce the cost of debt financing and to help ensure access to credit markets, when required. On January 15, 2024, S&P revised TXNM, PNM, and TNMP’s outlook to stable from positive. See the subheading Liquidity included in the full discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources below for the specific credit ratings for TXNM, PNM, and TNMP. All of the credit ratings issued by both Moody’s and S&P on the Company’s senior debt continue to be investment grade.
Economic Factors
TNMP – In 2025, TNMP experienced an increase in volumetric weather normalized retail load of 2.8% compared to 2024. Weather normalized demand-based load, excluding retail transmission consumers, increased 5.3% in 2025 compared to 2024. Data center load, including distribution and transmission, has increased 70.5% in 2025 compared to 2024.
PNM – In 2025, PNM experienced increases in weather normalized residential load of 0.1%, in commercial load of 1.0%, and in industrial load of 14.3% compared to 2024.
The Company is closely monitoring the impacts on the capital markets of various macroeconomic conditions, including actions by the Federal Reserve to address inflationary concerns or other market conditions, and geopolitical activity, including the potential impacts of tariffs. The Company has not experienced, nor does it expect to experience significant negative impacts to customer usage at PNM and TNMP resulting from these economic impacts. However, if current economic conditions worsen, the Company may be required to implement additional measures such as reducing or delaying operating and maintenance expenses and planned capital expenditures.
Results of Operations
Net earnings attributable to TXNM were $151.4 million, or $1.48 per diluted share in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $242.2 million, or $2.67 per diluted share in 2024. Among other things, earnings in the year ended December 31, 2025, benefited from higher transmission and distribution rates at TNMP, higher volumetric and demand-based load at TNMP, impacts of revenues recorded under HB 5247 at TNMP, higher weather normalized retail load at PNM, increased revenue at PNM approved in the 2025 Rate Change and higher transmission margin at PNM. These increases were partially offset by higher operating expenses at PNM and TNMP, increased depreciation at PNM and TNMP due to increased plant in service, capacity arrangements at PNM, milder weather at PNM, and higher interest charges at PNM and TNMP. Additional information on factors impacting results of operations for each segment is discussed below under Results of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2025, TXNM, PNM, and TNMP had revolving credit facilities with capacities of $300.0 million, $440.0 million, and $300.0 million. Total availability for TXNM on a consolidated basis was $681.6 million at February 13, 2026. The Company utilizes these credit facilities and cash flows from operations to provide funds for both construction and operational expenditures. TXNM also has intercompany loan agreements with each of its subsidiaries. For additional details regarding the Company’s revolving credit facilities, see Note 7.
TXNM projects that its consolidated capital requirements, consisting of construction expenditures and dividends, will total $11.1 billion for 2026 - 2030. These construction expenditures may change due to incremental expenditures for new customer growth and other transmission and renewable energy expansion. TNMP’s investments support continued high growth in system demand across TNMP’s service territories and growing encouragement for infrastructure investments from the Texas legislature to support grid reliability and resilience. PNM’s capital initiatives include investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure to deliver clean energy, enhance customer satisfaction, and increase grid resilience. Construction expenditures also include investments proposed in PNM’s Grid Modernization Plan and TNMP’s SRP.
To fund capital spending requirements to meet growth that balances earnings goals, credit metrics and liquidity needs, the Company has entered into a number of other financing arrangements. For further discussion on these financing arrangements see Liquidity and Capital Resources discussion below as well as Note 7.
After considering the effects of these financings and the Company’s short-term liquidity position as of February 13, 2026, the Company has consolidated maturities of long-term and short-term debt aggregating $657.9 million in the period from January 1, 2026 through February 27, 2027. In addition to internal cash generation, the Company anticipates that it will be necessary to obtain additional long-term financing in the form of debt refinancing, new debt issuances, and/or new equity in order to fund its capital requirements during the 2026-2030 period. The Company currently believes that its internal cash generation, existing credit arrangements, and access to public and private capital markets will provide sufficient resources to meet the Company’s capital requirements for at least the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2025 and February 13, 2026, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.

Segment Information
The following discussion is based on the segment methodology that TXNM’s management uses for making operating decisions and assessing performance of its various business activities. See Note 2 for more information on TXNM’s operating segments.
TNMP
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
TNMP defines utility margin as electric operating revenues less cost of energy, which consists of costs charged by third-party transmission providers. TNMP believes that utility margin provides a more meaningful basis for evaluating operations than electric operating revenues since all third-party transmission costs are passed on to consumers through a transmission cost recovery factor. Utility margin is not a financial measure required to be presented and is considered a non-GAAP measure. TNMP does not intend for utility margin to represent any financial measure as defined by GAAP however, the calculation of utility margin, as presented, most closely compares to gross margin as defined by GAAP. Reconciliations between utility margin and gross margin are presented below.

Financing Activities
See Note 7 for additional information concerning the Company’s financing activities. PNM must obtain NMPRC approval for any financing transaction having a maturity of more than 18 months. In addition, PNM files its annual informational financing filing and short-term financing plan with the NMPRC. The Company’s ability to access the credit and capital markets at a reasonable cost is largely dependent upon its:
•Ability to earn a fair return on equity
•Results of operations
•Ability to obtain required regulatory approvals
•Conditions in the financial markets
•Credit ratings
The Company is closely monitoring the impacts on the capital markets of other macroeconomic conditions, including actions by the Federal Reserve to address inflationary concerns or other market conditions, and geopolitical activity. The Company currently believes it has adequate liquidity but cannot predict the effects of any of these macroeconomic conditions on the global, national, or local economy, including the Company’s ability to access capital in the financial markets, or on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Each of the Company’s revolving credit facilities and term loans contain a single financial covenant that requires the maintenance of a debt-to-capitalization ratio. For the TXNM agreements, this ratio must be maintained at less than or equal to 70%, and for the PNM and TNMP agreements, this ratio must be maintained at less than or equal to 65%. The Company’s revolving credit facilities, term loans, and other debt agreements generally also contain customary covenants, events of default, cross-default provisions, and change-of-control provisions. The Company is in compliance with its debt covenants.
On January 21, 2025, PNM entered into the $195.0 million PNM 2025 Term Loan. PNM used the proceeds of the PNM 2025 Term Loan to repay borrowings under the PNM Revolving Credit Facility, the PNM New Mexico Credit Facility, and for general corporate purposes. The PNM 2025 Term Loan bears interest at a variable rate, which was 4.73% at December 31, 2025, and must be repaid on or before July 21, 2026.
On February 14, 2025, TNMP entered into the TNMP February 2025 Bond Purchase Agreement with institutional investors for the sale of $140.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.19% TNMP February 2025 Bonds offered in private placement transactions. On February 14, 2025, TNMP issued all $140.0 million of the TNMP February 2025 Bonds, due April 1, 2031. The proceeds were used to repay borrowings under the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility, for funding of capital expenditures, and for other corporate purposes.
On April 23, 2025, PNM entered into the PNM April 2025 Note Purchase Agreement with institutional investors for the sale and issuance of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of two series of the PNM April 2025 SUNs, offered in private placement transactions.

On May 16, 2025, TXNM paid the $51.0 million remaining balance due under its TXNM 2021 Delayed Draw Term Loan in accordance with its terms.
In May 2024, TXNM entered into the TXNM 2024 ATM Program pursuant to which TXNM may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate amount of $100.0 million of its common stock. In August 2024, subsequent to approval by shareholders to increase TXNM’s authorized shares, the Company increased the aggregate sales amount from $100.0 million to $300.0 million of its common stock, no par value, that may be sold under the TXNM 2024 ATM Program. Throughout 2024, TXNM entered into forward sale agreements with forward purchasers, for the sale of 3,563,592 shares of TXNM common stock. TXNM did not receive any proceeds upon the execution of this agreement and, except in certain specified circumstances, has the option to elect physical, cash, or net share settlement of the forward sale agreement on or before a date that is 12 months from the agreement effective dates. On December 30, 2024, TXNM physically settled forward purchases under the TXNM 2024 ATM Program for 2,458,951 shares, receiving $98.6 million in cash proceeds, and used those proceeds to repay borrowings under the TXNM Revolving Credit Facility. On May 27, 2025, TXNM physically settled all remaining shares under the TXNM 2024 ATM Program by issuing 1,104,641 shares, receiving $49.6 million in cash proceeds, and used those proceeds to repay borrowings under the TXNM Revolving Credit Facility. Following this settlement, no additional shares of TXNM’s common stock remain subject to future settlement under the TXNM 2024 ATM Program.
On May 18, 2025, the execution of the Merger Agreement constituted a “Change of Control” under certain TXNM and TNMP debt agreements. Under each of the specified debt agreements, a “Change of Control” constitutes an “Event of Default,” pursuant to which the lender parties thereto had the right to accelerate the indebtedness under the debt agreements. On December 19, 2025, in connection with exercising the available extension options (see Note 7), TXNM and TNMP entered into additional amendments in connection with the TXNM Revolving Credit Facility and the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility to amend the definition of Change of Control to not include the closing of the Merger. The definitions of Change of Control under the PNM debt agreements and PNM note purchase agreements will not be triggered by the closing of the Merger.
On May 18, 2025, TXNM entered into the May 2025 Stock Purchase Agreement, whereby TXNM sold, in a private placement transaction, 8,000,000 shares of TXNM common stock for a purchase price of $50.00 per share (aggregating $400.0 million). The consummation of the May 2025 Stock Purchase Agreement occurred on June 2, 2025. TXNM used the proceeds to make cash equity contributions to TNMP, to repay borrowings under the TXNM Revolving Credit Facility, and for general corporate purposes.
To ensure sufficient liquidity pending the Lender Consents (Note 7), on May 18, 2025, TXNM entered into the $910.0 million 364-day TXNM Merger Backstop Revolving Facility to provide liquidity in the event TXNM was unable to obtain the Lender Consents. On May 19, 2025, TXNM borrowed approximately $4 million under the TXNM Merger Backstop Revolving Facility and subsequently repaid the entire balance by May 21, 2025. The TXNM Merger Backstop Revolving Facility expired according to its terms as TXNM did not make any additional borrowings thereunder by the commitment termination date of May 23, 2025, and TXNM was able to obtain the necessary Lender Consents.
On May 18, 2025, concurrent with the execution of the TXNM Merger Backstop Revolving Facility, TNMP entered into the $1,505.0 million, 364-day TNMP Merger Backstop Term Loan to provide liquidity to repurchase TNMP’s FMBs that were tendered for prepayment pursuant to the Offer (defined below). Borrowings under the TNMP Merger Backstop Term
Loan were short-term in nature and bore interest at a variable rate. As discussed below, on July 21, 2025, TNMP issued the TNMP July 2025 FMBs and used the proceeds to repay the outstanding principal balance under the TNMP Merger Backstop Term Loan on July 22, 2025, terminating that agreement.
The documents governing an aggregate $1,505.0 million of TNMP’s outstanding FMBs (“TNMP FMBs”) obligated TNMP to offer (the “Offer”), within 30 business days following the signing of the Merger Agreement, to prepay all outstanding TNMP FMBs at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, but without any make-whole amount or other premium. On June 14, 2025, the Offer expired and $1,084.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the bonds were validly tendered. On June 24, 2025, holders whose bonds were validly tendered and accepted for purchase received 100% of the aggregate principal amount of bonds prepaid plus accrued and unpaid interest using funds drawn under the TNMP Merger Backstop Term Loan. On November 6, 2025, TNMP entered into an agreement and supplemental indenture to amend the documents governing $417.7 million of TNMP FMBs. The supplemental indenture amends the requirement for TNMP to provide certain financial reports and amends the definition of change of control such that TNMP will no longer be required to make an offer to prepay the aggregate $417.7 million TNMP FMBs upon closing of the Merger.
The documents governing an aggregate $3.0 million of TNMP FMBs still require TNMP to make another offer, within 30 business days of closing of the Merger, to prepay all those $3.0 million remaining outstanding TNMP FMBs at par. TNMP will make such offer to prepay the TNMP FMBs in accordance with the terms of the TNMP FMBs; however, holders of the TNMP FMBs are not required to tender their TNMP FMBs and may accept or reject such offer to prepay.
The information in this Form 10-K is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase, nor a solicitation of an offer to sell, subscribe for or buy any securities in any jurisdiction pursuant to the proposed transactions or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law. Similar to the offer to prepay made after signing the Merger Agreement, the post-Merger closing offer to prepay the TNMP FMBs will be made only pursuant to an offer to prepay, which will set forth the terms and conditions of the offer to prepay.
On June 24, 2025, TXNM entered into the June 2025 Stock Purchase Agreement whereby TXNM sold, and the purchasers named therein agreed to purchase 3,615,003 shares of TXNM common stock for a purchase price of $55.325 per share (for an aggregate amount of approximately $200 million). The closing of the issuance occurred on June 27, 2025. TXNM used the proceeds to repay an equal amount due under the TXNM 2023 Term Loan. TXNM granted the purchasers customary registration rights with respect to the shares, pursuant to which TXNM was required to register such shares for resale with the SEC. On August 8, 2025, TXNM registered the shares for resale.
On July 21, 2025, TNMP entered into the TNMP July 2025 Bond Purchase Agreement with institutional investors for the sale of $1,084.3 million aggregate principal amount of six series of TNMP July 2025 FMBs offered in private placement transactions. On July 21, 2025, TNMP issued all $1,084.3 million of the TNMP July 2025 FMBs and the proceeds were used to repay borrowings under the TNMP Merger Backstop Term Loan. See Note 7 for the terms of the TNMP July 2025 FMBs.
On July 31, 2025, PNM entered into the PNM July 2025 Note Purchase Agreement with institutional investors for the sale and issuance of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of two series of the PNM July 2025 SUNs offered in private placement transactions. On July 31, 2025, PNM issued $200.0 million of the PNM July 2025 SUNs at 5.47%, due July 31, 2031, and $150.0 million at 6.03%, due July 31, 2036. PNM used the proceeds from the PNM July 2025 SUNs to repay the PNM $250.0 million SUNs and for other corporate purposes.
On August 15, 2025, TXNM entered into a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $200.0 million of its common stock, no par value, through the sales agents (the “TXNM 2025 ATM Program”). Sales of the shares made pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, if any, may be made in “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act. TXNM did not initially receive any proceeds upon the execution of this agreement. Beginning on August 15, 2025, TXNM, pursuant to the TXNM 2025 ATM Program, sold an aggregate of 3,542,377 shares of TXNM common stock under the Distribution Agreement for net cash proceeds of $198.0 million. TXNM used the proceeds to repay borrowings under the TXNM Revolving Credit Facility and for other corporate purposes.
On August 29, 2025, TXNM paid the $210.0 million remaining balance due under its TXNM 2023 Term Loan in accordance with its terms, which terminated the agreement.
On November 10, 2025, PNM entered into the $120.0 million PNM November 2025 Term Loan. PNM used the proceeds of the PNM November 2025 Term Loan to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under the PNM 2024 Term Loan. The PNM November 2025 Term Loan bears interest at a variable rate, which was 4.67% at December 31, 2025, and must be repaid on or before May 10, 2027.
On November 18, 2025, TNMP entered into the TNMP November 2025 Bond Purchase Agreement with institutional investors for the sale of $70.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.69% TNMP November 2025 FMBs offered in private placement transactions. On December 18, 2025, TNMP issued all $70.0 million TNMP November 2025 FMBs at a 4.69%
interest rate, due December 18, 2031. The proceeds were used to repay borrowings under the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility and for other corporate purposes.
On December 10, 2025, TXNM issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of its TXNM 2025 Junior Subs. The TXNM 2025 Junior Subs rank equally in right of payment to the $550.0 million 5.75% Convertible Notes. The TXNM 2025 Junior Subs bear interest at a rate of 7.000% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 31 and July 31 (subject to TXNM’s right to defer interest payments) and mature on July 31, 2056, unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms. Proceeds from the TXNM 2025 Junior Subs were used to fund the cash equity contribution to PNM of $123.3 million, to repay borrowings under the TXNM Revolving Credit Facility, and for other corporate purposes. See Note 7 for details related to the interest rate reset and redemption options.
Capital Requirements
TXNM’s total capital requirements consist of construction expenditures, cash dividend requirements for TXNM common stock and PNM preferred stock.
Key activities in TXNM’s current construction program include:
•Investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure
•Upgrading generation resources and delivering clean energy
•Purchasing nuclear fuel
Projected capital requirements for 2026-2030 are:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2026 | | 2027-2030 | | Total |
| | (In millions) |
| Construction expenditures | $ | 1,566.9 | | | $ | 8,647.9 | | | $ | 10,214.8 | |
| | | | | |
Dividends on TXNM common stock | 184.1 | | | 736.3 | | | 920.4 | |
| Dividends on PNM preferred stock | 0.5 | | | 2.1 | | | 2.6 | |
Total capital requirements | $ | 1,751.5 | | | $ | 9,386.3 | | | $ | 11,137.8 | |
The construction expenditure estimates are under continuing review and subject to ongoing adjustment, as well as to Board review and approval. The construction expenditures above include TNMP’s investments to support continued high growth in system demand across TNMP’s service territories and growing encouragement for infrastructure investments from the Texas legislature to support grid reliability and resilience. PNM’s capital initiative that includes investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure to deliver clean energy, enhance customer satisfaction, and increase grid resilience. Construction expenditures also include investments included in PNM’s Grid Modernization Plan and TNMP’s SRP. These investments provide for a more resilient, reliable, efficient, and decarbonized electric system. Construction expenditures included in the table above may change due to incremental expenditures for new customer growth in New Mexico and Texas, and other transmission and renewable energy expansion in New Mexico. The ability of TXNM to pay dividends on its common stock is dependent upon the ability of PNM and TNMP to pay dividends to TXNM. See Note 6 for a discussion of regulatory and contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends by PNM and TNMP.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, TXNM met its capital requirements and construction expenditures through cash generated from operations, as well as its liquidity arrangements and the borrowings discussed in Financing Activities above.
In addition to the capital requirements for construction expenditures and dividends, the Company has long-term debt and term loans that must be paid or refinanced at maturity. PNM has $3.6 million and $3.7 million in scheduled principal payments due for the ETBC I Securitized Bonds in February and August 2026. PNM also has $195.0 million under the PNM 2025 Term Loan due in July 2026 and $100.3 million of 0.875% PCRBs with a mandatory tender date of October 1, 2026. See Note 7 for additional information about the Company’s long-term debt and equity arrangements. The Company may also enter into new arrangements similar to the existing agreements, borrow under the revolving credit facilities, issue new long-term debt or equity in the public or private capital markets, or a combination of these sources. The Company has from time to time refinanced or repurchased portions of its outstanding debt before scheduled maturity. Depending on market conditions, the Company may refinance other debt issuances or make additional debt repurchases in the future.
Other Material Cash Requirements
In addition to the cash requirements for construction requirements and long-term debt discussed above, the Company has other material cash requirements related to long-term contractual obligations including minimum lease payments (Note 8), coal contracts, coal mine reclamation, nuclear decommissioning, SJGS plant decommissioning (Note 16), and pension and retiree medical contributions (Note 11).
Interest on long-term debt, excluding ETBC I Securitized Bonds
Interest accrues on long-term debt agreements, at fixed rates, with the passage of time, and is typically paid semi-annually in accordance with the terms of the debt agreement. Provided that these long-term debt agreements are not prepaid or refinanced before their expected maturities, payments of interest are expected to total $238.1 million in 2026, $469.6 million in 2027 and 2028, $433.4 million in 2029 and 2030, and $2.4 billion in 2031 and thereafter.
Scheduled payments on ETBC I Securitized Bonds
The ETBC I Securitized Bonds are subject to fixed, scheduled, principal and interest payment arrangements that are paid semi-annually in accordance with the terms of the agreement and are funded by the energy transition charge billed to customers. See Note 16. Principal payments are expected to total $7.3 million for 2026, $15.9 million for 2027 and 2028, $17.8 million for 2029 and 2030, and $292.8 million for 2031 and thereafter. Interest payments are expected to total $19.4 million for 2026, $37.5 million for 2027 and 2028, $35.6 million for 2029 and 2030, and $187.4 million for 2031 and thereafter.
Transmission service arrangements
PNM owns transmission lines that are interconnected with other utilities in Arizona and Texas. PNM has executed long-term contracts with these other utilities to receive service for the transmission of energy owned by PNM utilizing the third-party transmission facilities. PNM generally receives transmission services, which are regulated by FERC, from a third-party through the other utilities’ OATT or a specific contract. PNM has reserved firm capacity on a long-term basis and is committed under the terms of the contracts. These contracted obligations total $17.3 million in 2026, $16.5 million in 2027, $11.4 million in 2028 and, $3.7 million in 2029.
Technology outsourcing
The Company has other technology services under long-term contracts. The obligations under these contracts total $8.2 million for 2026 and $15.6 million for 2027 and 2028.
Liquidity
TXNM’s liquidity arrangements include the $300.0 million TXNM Revolving Credit Facility, the $400.0 million PNM Revolving Credit Facility, and the $300.0 million TNMP Revolving Credit Facility. Each of these facilities had an original maturity date of March 30, 2029, and contained two one-year extension options that, if exercised, would extend the maturity to March 2031, subject to approval by a majority of the lenders. On December 19, 2025, TNMP amended the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility to increase the capacity from $200.0 million to $300.0 million, secured by $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of TNMP first mortgage bonds and exercised the first of two one-year extension options, extending the maturities for each of the facilities to March 29, 2030. One lender in each of the revolving credit facilities failed to agree to the extension and as a result, effective March 30, 2029, the TXNM Revolving Credit Facility capacity will adjust to $265.4 million, the PNM Revolving Credit Facility capacity will adjust to $354.1 million, and the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility capacity will adjust to $277.0 million. PNM also has the $40.0 million PNM New Mexico Credit Facility. On July 25, 2025, PNM amended its PNM New Mexico Credit Facility to, among other things, extend the maturity from May 20, 2026 to May 31, 2030. Variable interest rates under the TXNM, PNM, and TNMP revolving credit facilities, including the PNM New Mexico Credit Facility, are based on SOFR. The Company believes the terms and conditions of these facilities are consistent with those of other investment grade revolving credit facilities in the utility industry. The Company expects that it will be able to extend or replace these credit facilities under similar terms and conditions prior to their expirations.
The revolving credit facilities and the PNM New Mexico Credit Facility provide short-term borrowing capacity. The revolving credit facilities also allow letters of credit to be issued. Letters of credit reduce the available capacity under the facilities. The Company utilizes these credit facilities and cash flows from operations to provide funds for both construction and operational expenditures. The Company’s business is seasonal with more revenues and cash flows from operations being generated in the summer months. In general, the Company relies on the credit facilities to be the initial funding source for construction expenditures. Accordingly, borrowings under the facilities may increase over time. Depending on market and other conditions, the Company will periodically sell long-term debt and use the proceeds to reduce the borrowings under the credit facilities. Information regarding the range of borrowings for each facility is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | Year Ended December 31 | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
At December 31, 2025, the weighted average interest rates were 5.04% for the PNM Revolving Credit Facility, 5.08% for the PNM New Mexico Credit Facility, and 5.16% for the TXNM Revolving Credit Facility. There were no borrowings outstanding under the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2025.
The Company currently believes that its capital requirements for at least the next twelve months can be met through internal cash generation, existing, extended, or new credit arrangements, and access to public and private capital markets as discussed above and in Note 7. The Company anticipates that it will be necessary to obtain additional long-term financing to fund its capital requirements and to balance its capital structure during the 2026 – 2030 period. This could include new debt and/or equity issuances. To cover the difference in the amounts and timing of internal cash generation and cash requirements, the Company intends to use short-term borrowings under its current and future liquidity arrangements or other short-term loans. Market conditions, such as rising interest rates, may raise the cost of borrowing under the Company’s current and future liquidity arrangements or other variable debt. In addition, if market conditions worsen, the Company may not be able to access the capital markets or renew credit facilities when they expire. Should that occur, the Company would seek to improve cash flows by reducing capital expenditures and exploring other available alternatives.
Currently, all of the credit ratings issued by both Moody’s and S&P on the Company’s senior debt are investment grade. As of December 31, 2025, Moody’s and S&P’s outlook is stable for all entities. In its May 2025 credit opinion, S&P commented that they view the proposed Merger as credit supportive. In its June 2025 credit opinion, Moody’s commented that the announced terms of the proposed Merger are not expected to adversely affect the ratings or outlooks of TXNM or its two utility subsidiaries. Investors are cautioned that a security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold securities, that each rating is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization, and that each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.
As of February 13, 2026, ratings on the Company’s securities were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | TXNM | | PNM | | TNMP |

In addition to the above, TXNM has $19.3 million of letters of credit outstanding under the WFB LOC Facility. The above table excludes intercompany debt. As of February 13, 2026, neither PNM nor TNMP had any intercompany borrowings outstanding from TXNM. As of February 13, 2026, PNMR Development had $16.0 million in intercompany borrowings outstanding from TXNM. The remaining availability under the revolving credit facilities at any point in time varies based on a number of factors, including the timing of collections of accounts receivables and payments for construction and operating expenditures.
TXNM has an automatic shelf registration that provides for the issuance of various types of debt and equity securities that expires February 2028.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
TXNM has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Contingent Provisions of Certain Obligations
TXNM, PNM, and TNMP have a number of debt obligations and other contractual commitments that contain contingent provisions. Some of these, if triggered, could affect the liquidity of the Company. In the unlikely event that the contingent requirements were to be triggered, TXNM, PNM, or TNMP could be required to provide security, immediately pay outstanding obligations, or be prevented from drawing on unused capacity under certain credit agreements. The most significant consequences resulting from these contingent requirements are detailed in the discussion below.
The TXNM Revolving Credit Facility, PNM Revolving Credit Facility, PNM New Mexico Credit Facility, and the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility contain “ratings triggers,” for pricing purposes only. If TXNM, PNM, or TNMP is downgraded or upgraded by the ratings agencies, the result would be an increase or decrease in interest cost. The TXNM facility requires that TXNM is to maintain a debt-to-capitalization ratio of less than or equal to 70%. The debt-to-capitalization ratio requirement remains at less than or equal to 65% for the PNM and TNMP facilities. If these ratios were exceeded, the entity could be required to repay all borrowings under its facility, be prevented from borrowing on the unused capacity under the facility and be required to provide collateral for all outstanding letters of credit issued under the facility.
PNM’s standard purchase agreement for the procurement of natural gas for its fuel needs contains a contingent requirement that could require PNM to provide collateral for its gas purchase obligations if the seller were to reasonably believe that PNM was unable to fulfill its payment obligations under the agreement.
The master agreement for the sale of electricity in the WSPP contains a contingent requirement that could require PNM to provide collateral if the credit ratings on its debt falls below investment grade. The WSPP agreement also contains a contingent requirement, commonly called a “material adverse change” provision, which could require PNM to provide collateral if a material adverse change in its financial condition or operations were to occur. Additionally, PNM utilizes standard derivative contracts to financially hedge and trade energy. These agreements contain contingent requirements that require PNM to provide security if the credit rating on its debt falls below investment grade. The Company believes its financing arrangements are sufficient to meet the requirements of the contingent provisions. No conditions have occurred that would result in any of the above contingent provisions being implemented.

OTHER ISSUES FACING THE COMPANY
Climate Change Issues
Background
For the past several years, management has identified multiple risks and opportunities related to climate change, including the impacts of severe weather events, potential environmental regulation, technological innovation, and availability of fuel and water for operations, as among the most significant risks facing the Company. Accordingly, these risks are overseen by the Board in order to facilitate more integrated risk and strategy oversight and planning. Board oversight includes understanding the various challenges and opportunities presented by these risks, including the financial consequences that might result from enacted and potential federal and/or state regulation of GHG; plans to mitigate these risks; and the impact these risks may have on the Company’s strategy. In addition, the Board approves certain procurements of grid modernization technologies and replacement resources.
Management is also responsible for assessing significant risks, developing and executing appropriate responses, and reporting to the Board on the status of risk activities. For example, management periodically updates the Board on the implementation of corporate environmental policy, and the Company’s environmental management systems, including the promotion of energy efficiency programs, and the use of renewable resources. The Board is also informed of the Company’s practices and procedures to assess the impact of operations on the environment. The Board considers issues associated with climate change, the Company’s GHG exposures, and the financial consequences that might result from enacted and potential federal and/or state regulation of GHG. Management has published, with Board oversight, a Climate Change Report available at https://www.txnmenergy.com/sustainability/environment/climate_change_report that details the Company’s efforts to transition to a carbon-free generating portfolio.
As part of management’s continuing effort to monitor climate-related risks and assess opportunities, the Company has advanced its understanding of climate change by participating in the “2 Degree Scenario” planning by participating in the Electric Power Research Institute (“EPRI”) Understanding Climate Scenarios & Goal Setting Activities program. The program focused on characterizing and analyzing the relationship of individual electric utility company’s carbon emissions and global temperature goals. Activities included analyzing the scientific understanding of global emissions pathways that are consistent with limiting global warming and providing insight to assist companies in developing approaches to climate scenario planning. As PNM expands its sustainability efforts, EPRI’s environmental and climate analysis programs have also been useful in gaining a better understanding of energy and environmental policy and regulations, advanced clean energy technologies, decarbonization trends and climate impacts. In 2022, PNM joined EPRI’s Climate READi program which is a strategic initiative convening a global collaborative of electric utilities, thought leaders, scientific researchers and other key stakeholders to strengthen the power sector’s collective approach to managing climate risk to the power system. The program is a three-year initiative, through work across three concurrent workstreams, and PNM will benefit from the development of a first-of-its-kind comprehensive framework for managing physical climate risk and investment prioritization that was launched in May 2025.
The Company cannot anticipate or predict the potential long-term effects of climate change or climate change related regulation on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Exposures
In 2024, GHG emissions associated with PNM’s interests in its fossil-fueled generating plants included approximately 1.5 million metric tons of CO2, which comprises the vast majority of PNM’s GHG emissions.
As of December 31, 2025, approximately 25% of PNM’s generating capacity, including resources owned, leased, and under PPAs, all of which is located within the U.S., consisted of coal or gas-fired generation that produces GHG emissions. As PNM shifts its generation to cleaner energy resources, the Company’s output of GHG emissions continues to decrease. Many factors affect the amount of GHG emitted, including total electricity sales, plant performance, economic dispatch, and the availability of renewable resources. For example, wind generation performance varies each year as a result of highly seasonal wind patterns and annual wind resource variability. Similarly, if PVNGS experienced prolonged outages or if PNM’s entitlement from PVNGS were reduced, PNM might be required to utilize other power supply resources such as gas-fired generation, which could increase GHG emissions.
PNM has several programs underway to reduce or offset GHG emissions from its generation resource portfolio, thereby reducing its exposure to climate change regulation. The shutdown of SJGS resulted in a reduction of GHG emissions for the entire station allowing PNM to attain GHG emissions reductions goals set forth by the ETA, discussed below.
PNM’s utility-owned solar and energy storage capacity, as well as solar, energy storage, wind, and geothermal procurements in service as of December 31, 2025, have a total net generation capacity of 3,244 MW. The NMPRC has approved plans for PNM to procure energy and RECs from additional resources to serve retail customers and a data center located in PNM’s service territory. PNM’s approved resource plans have a generation capacity of 1,453 MW. This includes approximately 285 MW of capacity under the Community Solar Act which will provide customers an additional option of
accessing solar energy. PNM will continue to seek approval to procure renewable resources as needed to meet forecasted peak load requirements to serve its customers and New Mexico’s RPS and carbon-free resource requirements, while balancing the impact to customers’ electricity costs. See additional discussion of these resources in Notes 16 and 17.
PNM also has a customer distributed solar generation program that represented 334.1 MW at December 31, 2025. PNM’s distributed solar programs will generate an estimated 668.2 GWh of emission-free solar energy available this year to offset PNM’s annual production from fossil-fueled electricity generation. PNM has offered its customers a comprehensive portfolio of energy efficiency and load management programs since 2007. PNM’s cumulative savings from these programs were an estimated 9,005 GWh of electricity through 2025. Over the next 20 years, PNM projects energy efficiency and load management programs will provide the equivalent of approximately 12,900 GWh of electricity savings, which will avoid approximately 220,000 tons of CO2 based upon projected emissions from PNM’s portfolio of resources. These estimates are subject to change because of the uncertainty of many of the underlying variables, including changes in PNM’s generation portfolio, demand for electricity, energy efficiency, and complex relationships between those variables.
Because of PNM’s dependence on fossil-fueled generation, legislation or regulation that imposes a limit or cost on GHG could impact the cost at which electricity is produced. While PNM expects to recover any such costs through rates, the timing and outcome of proceedings for cost recovery are uncertain. In addition, to the extent that any additional costs are recovered through rates, customers may reduce their usage, relocate facilities to other areas with lower energy costs, or take other actions that ultimately could adversely impact PNM.
Other Climate Change Risks
PNM’s generating stations are located in the arid southwest. Access to water for cooling for some of these facilities is critical to continued operations. Forecasts for the impacts of climate change on water supply in the southwest range from reduced precipitation to changes in the timing of precipitation. In either case, PNM’s generating facilities requiring water for cooling will need to mitigate the impacts of climate change through adaptive measures. Current measures employed by PNM generating stations include the use of sustainable, less variable groundwater supplies and investments in technologies such as air cooling and cooling water recycling. These types of actions will continue to be important to sustain operations.
PNM’s service areas occasionally experience periodic high winds and severe thunderstorms. TNMP has operations in the Gulf Coast area of Texas, which experiences periodic hurricanes and other extreme weather conditions. In addition to potentially causing physical damage to Company-owned facilities, which disrupts the ability to transmit and/or distribute energy, weather and other events of nature can temporarily reduce customers’ usage and demand for energy. In addition, other events influenced by climate change, such as wildfires, could disrupt Company operations or result in third-party claims against the Company. PNM has enhanced its wildfire prevention efforts and maintains a wildfire mitigation plan and a public safety power shutoff plan. TNMP has also developed a wildfire mitigation plan. However, both PNM and TNMP remain at risk for wildfires outside of their control and the resulting damages in their service areas.
EPA Regulation
In 2007, the US Supreme Court held that EPA has the authority to regulate GHG emissions under the CAA, and in 2009, EPA released its endangerment finding for GHG from new motor vehicles, stating that the atmospheric concentrations of six key greenhouse gases (CO2, methane, nitrous oxides, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride) endanger the public health and welfare. These actions triggered new GHG permitting requirements for stationary sources, including the energy industry, under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (“PSD”) and Title V program, although the US Supreme Court held the CAA does not authorize EPA to require a source to obtain a PSD permit solely on the basis of its potential GHG emissions.
EPA also determined that its finding of endangerment requires it to issue performance standards under Section 111 of the CAA to regulate GHG emissions from new and existing stationary sources, including fossil fuel fired electric generating units. Accordingly, in 2015, EPA issued Carbon Pollution Standards for new, modified, and reconstructed power plants (under Section 111(b)) and the Clean Power Plan for existing power plants (under Section 111(d)).
Multiple states, utilities, and trade groups challenged both the Carbon Pollution Standards for new sources and the Clean Power Plan for existing sources in separate cases, and the challengers successfully petitioned the US Supreme Court for a stay of the Clean Power Plan.
In 2019, EPA repealed the Clean Power Plan, promulgated the ACE Rule, and revised the implementing regulations for all emission guidelines issued under CAA Section 111(d). The ACE Rule was also challenged, and on January 19, 2021, the DC Circuit issued an opinion in American Lung Association and American Public Health Association v. EPA, et al. vacating the ACE Rule.
Numerous parties sought review by the US Supreme Court, and on June 30, 2022, the Court held that the “generation shifting” approach in the Clean Power Plan exceeded the powers granted to EPA by Congress, though the Court did not address
the related issue of whether Section 111 of the CAA only authorizes EPA to require measures that can be implemented entirely within the fence line at an individual source. Of broader significance in administrative law, the Court’s opinion expressly invoked the major questions doctrine, which requires rules involving issues of “vast economic or political significance” to be supported by clear statutory authorization. In cases where there is no clear statement of authority, courts need not defer to the agency’s statutory interpretation on “major questions.” The decision sets legal precedent for future rulemakings by EPA and other federal regulatory agencies whereby the agency’s authority may be limited based upon similar reasoning.
The litigation over the Carbon Pollution Standards remains held in abeyance but could be reactivated by the parties upon a determination by the court that reconsideration of the rule has concluded.
In 2024, EPA published in the Federal Register proposed regulatory actions under CAA sections 111(b) and (d) to replace the Clean Power Plan and the ACE Rule and finalized the rules on May 9, 2024. The final rules include revised new source performance standards under Section 111(b) for all new natural gas-fired combustion turbines and emission guidelines under Section 111(d) requiring states to develop standards of performance for GHG emissions from existing fossil-fuel-fired electric steam generating units. In the final rules, EPA determined that the standards for existing coal- or gas-fired steam generating units must be based on the use of either Carbon Capture Storage (“CCS”) (long-term), natural gas co-firing (medium-term), or exempt from the rule via early retirement. The standards for new combustion turbines must be based on CCS (base load), efficient simple cycle design (intermediate load), or lower-emitting fuels (low load). Over a dozen states, several industry groups, and some power companies and labor unions have filed challenges to the rule at the DC Circuit. The DC Circuit heard oral arguments on December 6, 2024.
On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order entitled “Unleashing American Energy” directing all agencies, including EPA, to review all agency actions and suspend, revise, or rescind those identified as imposing an undue burden on domestic energy resources. The order also disbands the Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases (“IWG”), eliminates the “social cost of carbon” from consideration in any Federal permitting or regulatory decision, and expressly directs EPA to submit joint recommendations on the legality and continuing applicability of the 2009 endangerment finding for greenhouse gases that currently provides the legal basis for EPA to regulate greenhouse gases under the CAA. On March 12, 2025, EPA announced it will formally reconsider the 2009 endangerment finding in collaboration with the Office of Management and Budget and other relevant agencies. On June 17, 2025, EPA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register with two alternatives to repeal or revise the GHG emission standards for EGUs. EPA primarily proposes to find that GHG emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants “do not contribute significantly to dangerous air pollution” under the meaning of CAA Section 111, which would preclude EPA from regulating GHG emissions from those plants. As a result, EPA is proposing to repeal all GHG standards for the power sector promulgated under CAA Section 111 in both 2015 and 2024. EPA also proposed in the alternative to find that CCS is not adequately demonstrated, and that neither CCS nor gas co-firing are the best system of emission reduction for GHG emissions from power plants, which findings also support repeal of those specific requirements from the rules adopted in 2024. Comments were due by September 15, 2025, and EPA intends to finalize the proposed rule in the first quarter of 2026.
On August 1, 2025, EPA published a proposal to rescind its 2009 final rule commonly known as the Endangerment Finding. In the Endangerment Finding, EPA found that current and projected atmospheric concentrations of the well-mixed combination of six GHGs threaten public health and welfare, and that the combined emissions of these GHGs from new motor vehicles and engines contribute to the GHG pollution that threatens public health and welfare. This provided the basis for EPA’s subsequent GHG regulations applicable to stationary sources. Comments were due September 15, 2025. On January 7, 2026, EPA sent the proposed rule rescinding the 2009 Endangerment Finding to OMB. On February 12, 2026, the final rule was finalized as proposed, repealing all GHG emission standards for certain vehicles and engines promulgated on the basis of the Endangerment Finding. While the Endangerment Finding did not directly impose any requirements on EGUs, EPA has cited the Endangerment Finding as a basis for its authority to regulate GHG emissions from EGUs under CAA Section 111.
Federal Legislation
In July 2025, President Trump signed the OBBBA, significantly altering the landscape of climate action and clean energy initiatives in the United States. The legislation revises and, in some cases, phases out tax credits established under the IRA and includes restrictions on the availability of credits for “foreign entities of concern,” as such term is used in the OBBBA. Given the control of both houses of Congress by the Republican Party, no additional Federal legislation on climate change is expected during this Congress.
State and Regional Activity
Pursuant to New Mexico law, each utility must submit an IRP to the NMPRC every three years to evaluate renewable energy, energy efficiency, load management, distributed generation, and conventional supply-side resources on a consistent and comparable basis. The IRP is required to take into consideration risk and uncertainty of fuel supply, price volatility, and costs of anticipated environmental regulations when evaluating resource options to meet supply needs of the utility’s customers. The NMPRC requires that New Mexico utilities factor a standardized cost of carbon emissions into their IRPs using prices ranging
between $8 and $40 per metric ton of CO2 emitted and escalating these costs by 2.5% per year. Under the NMPRC order, each utility must analyze these standardized prices as projected operating costs. Reflecting the evolving nature of this issue, the NMPRC order states that these prices may be changed in the future to account for additional information or changed circumstances. Although these prices may not reflect the costs that ultimately will be incurred, PNM is required to use these prices for purposes of its IRP. PNM’s 2023 filing has a continued focus on a carbon-free energy system by 2040. The plan highlights the need for the significant sustained addition of resources over the next two decades, replacing retiring or expiring capacity, meeting concurrent load growth, while reducing the carbon intensity of PNM’s portfolio. See Note 17.
The ETA, among other things, requires that investor-owned utilities obtain specified percentages of their energy from renewable and carbon-free resources. The passage of the ETA amended the REA to require utilities operating in New Mexico to have renewable portfolios equal to 40% by 2025, 50% by 2030, 80% by 2040, and 100% zero-carbon energy by 2045. Under the ETA provisions, PNM will also be required to meet a generation emission standard of no more than 400 lbs. of CO2 per MWh beginning in 2023 and not more than 200 lbs. per MWh beginning in 2032. PNM takes this requirement into account in its resource planning and will manage compliance with the standards based upon existing generation resources and approved resource retirements and replacements. The ETA provides for a transition from fossil-fuel generating resources to renewable and other carbon-free resources by allowing investor-owned utilities to issue securitized bonds related to the retirement of coal-fired generating facilities to qualified investors. See additional discussion of the ETA in Note 16.
The ETA has a significant impact on PNM’s future generation portfolio. In 2022, in compliance with the ETA, the NMED announced a new rulemaking, Carbon Dioxide Emission Standards for Electric Generating Facilities, to develop carbon emission standards for new and existing electric coal-fired generating facilities. In 2022, the rule was passed which adopts new carbon emission standards for new and existing coal-fired power plants. In compliance with the ETA, PNM filed its first CO2 Emissions Measurement and Compliance Annual Report on March 14, 2025.
In 2020, the NMPRC approved PNM’s San Juan abandonment application and for the issuance of securitized bonds consistent with the requirements of the ETA and in 2023 PNM issued the ETBC I Securitized Bonds. PNM cannot predict the full impact of the ETA with respect to Four Corners. See additional discussion of PNM’s Four Corners Abandonment Application in Note 17.
The State of California has enacted comprehensive climate-related disclosure laws that will require large entities doing business in the state to measure and disclose Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions beginning in 2026, Scope 3 GHG emissions beginning in 2027, and to publish biennial reports detailing climate-related financial risk beginning in January 2026. The State of California released proposed regulations in December 2025 with comments due in January 2026. The Company is closely monitoring developments to determine if any TXNM entity would be required to make disclosures under California law and the nature of any such required disclosures.
International Accords
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (“UNFCCC”) is an international environmental treaty that was negotiated at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (informally known as the Earth Summit) and entered into force in March 1994. The objective of the treaty is to “stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.” Parties to the UNFCCC, including the U.S., have been meeting annually in Conferences of the Parties (“COP”) to assess progress in meeting the objectives of the UNFCCC.
In 2015, the Paris Agreement was finalized during the 2015 COP. The aim of the Paris Agreement is to limit global temperature rise to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The agreement, which was agreed to by approximately 200 parties, requires that countries submit INDCs. INDCs reflect national targets and actions that arise out of national policies and elements relating to oversight, guidance and coordination of actions to reduce emissions by all countries. In 2017, President Trump announced that the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris Agreement. As a result of the President’s notice to the United Nations, the U.S. officially withdrew from the Paris Agreement on November 4, 2020. On January 20, 2021, President Biden signed an instrument that will allow the U.S. to rejoin the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. The instrument was deposited with the United Nations on January 21, 2021, and the U.S. officially became a party to the Agreement on February 19, 2021. On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order entitled “Putting America First in International Environmental Agreements,” directing the United States Ambassador to the United Nations to immediately submit formal written notification of the United States’ withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and any other agreement, pact, accord, or similar commitment made under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
PNM has calculated GHG reductions that would result from scenarios that capture PNM’s retirement of its share of the SJGS in 2022 and assume exiting Four Corners in 2031 and PNM has set a goal to have a 100% carbon-free generating portfolio by 2040. Achieving our goal of carbon-free by 2040 is dependent on balancing reliability, cost-considerations, and maturity of emerging technologies. While the Company has not conducted an independent 2 Degree Scenario analysis, our commitment to becoming 100% carbon-free produces a carbon emissions reduction pathway that tracks within the ranges of climate scenario pathways that are consistent with limiting the global warming average to less than 2 degrees Celsius. In
addition, as an investor-owned utility operating in the state of New Mexico, PNM is required to comply with the ETA, which requires utilities’ generating portfolio be 100% carbon-free by 2045. The requirements of the ETA and the Company’s goal compare favorably to the U.S. INDC of 50% to 52% carbon emissions reduction by 2030. On April 1, 2020, the NMPRC approved PNM’s application to retire its share of SJGS in 2022. See Note 17.
PNM will continue to monitor the United States’ move to withdraw from the Paris Agreement and other parties’ involvement in these types of international accords, but the potential impact that such accords may have on the Company cannot be determined at this time.
Assessment of Legislative/Regulatory Impacts
The Company has assessed, and continues to assess, the impacts of climate change legislation and regulation on its business. This assessment is ongoing and future changes arising out of the legislative or regulatory process could impact the assessment significantly. PNM’s assessment includes assumptions regarding specific GHG limits; the timing of implementation of these limits; the possibility of a market-based trading program, including the associated costs and the availability of emission credits or allowances; the development of emission reduction and/or renewable energy technologies; and provisions for cost containment. Moreover, the assessment assumes various market reactions such as the price of coal and gas and regional plant economics. These assumptions are, at best, preliminary and speculative. However, based upon these assumptions, the enactment of climate change legislation or regulation could, among other things, result in significant compliance costs, including large capital expenditures by PNM, and could jeopardize the Company’s reputation as well as the economic viability of certain generating facilities. See Notes 16 and 17. The ultimate consequences of increased stakeholder scrutiny related to climate change and environmental regulation could lead to increased costs to customers and affect results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition if the incurred costs are not fully recovered through regulated rates. Higher rates could also contribute to reduced usage of electricity. PNM’s assessment process is evolving and is too speculative at this time for a meaningful prediction of the long-term financial impact.
Transmission Issues
At any given time, FERC has various notices of inquiry and rulemaking dockets related to transmission issues pending. Such actions may lead to changes in FERC administrative rules or ratemaking policy but have no time frame in which action must be taken or a docket closed with no further action. Further, such notices and rulemaking dockets do not apply strictly to PNM but will have industry-wide effects in that they will apply to all FERC-regulated entities. PNM monitors and often submits comments taking a position in such notices and rulemaking dockets or may join in larger group responses. PNM often cannot determine the full impact of a proposed rule and policy change until the final determination is made by FERC and PNM is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.
Other Matters
See Notes 16 and 17 for a discussion of commitments and contingencies and rate and regulatory matters.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to apply accounting policies and to make estimates and judgments that best provide the framework to report the results of operations and financial position for TXNM, PNM, and TNMP. As a result, there exists the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Management has identified the following accounting policies that it deems critical to the portrayal of the financial condition and results of operations and that involve significant subjectivity. The following discussion provides information on the processes utilized by management in making judgments and assumptions as they apply to its critical accounting policies.
Regulatory Accounting
The Company is subject to the provisions of GAAP for rate-regulated enterprises and records assets and liabilities resulting from the effects of the ratemaking process, which would not be recorded under GAAP for non-regulated entities. Additional information concerning regulatory assets and liabilities is contained in Note 13.
The Company continually evaluates the probability that regulatory assets and liabilities will impact future rates and make various assumptions in those analyses. The expectations of future rate impacts are generally based on orders issued by regulatory commissions or historical experience, as well as discussions with applicable regulatory authorities. If future recovery or refund ceases to be probable, the Company would be required to write-off the portion that is not recoverable or refundable in current period earnings.
The Company has made adjustments to regulatory assets and liabilities that affected its results of operations in the past due to changes in various factors and conditions impacting future cost recovery. Based on its current evaluation, the Company believes that future recovery of its regulatory assets is probable.
Impairments
Tangible long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. These potential impairment indicators include management’s assessment of fluctuating market conditions as a result of planned and scheduled customer purchase commitments; future market penetration; changing environmental requirements; fluctuating market prices resulting from factors including changing fuel costs and other economic conditions; long-term weather patterns; and other market trends. The amount of impairment recognized, if any, is the difference between the fair value of the asset and the carrying value of the asset and would reduce both the asset and current period earnings. Variations in the assessment of potential impairment or in the assumptions used to calculate an impairment could result in different outcomes, which could lead to significant effects on the Consolidated Financial Statements. See Notes 16 and 17.
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. Impairment testing may be performed based on either a qualitative analysis or quantitative analysis. Note 19 contains information on the impairment testing performed by the Company on goodwill. For 2025, the Company utilized a quantitative analysis for the PNM reporting unit and a qualitative analysis for the TNMP reporting unit. No impairments were indicated in the Company’s annual goodwill testing, which was performed as of April 1, 2025. Since the annual evaluation, there have been no indications that the fair values of the reporting units with recorded goodwill have decreased below the carrying values. The annual testing was based on certain critical estimates and assumptions. Changes in the estimates or the use of different assumptions could affect the determination of fair value and the conclusion of impairment for each reporting unit.
Application of the qualitative goodwill impairment test requires evaluating various events and circumstances to determine whether it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. As a part of the Company’s goodwill qualitative testing process for a reporting unit, various factors that are specific to that reporting unit as well as industry and macroeconomic factors are evaluated in order to determine whether these factors are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the fair value of the reporting unit. Examples of the factors that were considered in the qualitative testing of the goodwill include the results of the most recent quantitative impairment test, current and long-term forecasted financial results, regulatory environment, credit rating, changes in the interest rate environment, and operating strategy for the reporting unit.
Based on the analysis performed for the PNM and TNMP reporting units in 2025, the Company concluded that there were no changes that were reasonably likely to cause the fair value of the reporting units to be less than their carrying value and determined that there was no impairment of goodwill. Although the Company believes all relevant factors were considered in the qualitative impairment analysis to reach the conclusion that goodwill is not impaired, significant changes in any one of the assumptions could produce a significantly different result potentially leading to the recording of an impairment that could have significant impacts on the results of operations and financial position of the Company.
Decommissioning and Reclamation Costs
PNM is only required to recognize and measure decommissioning liabilities for tangible long-lived assets for which a legal obligation exists. Accounting for decommissioning costs for nuclear and fossil-fuel generation involves significant estimates related to costs to be incurred many years in the future after plant closure. Decommissioning costs are based on site-specific estimates, which are updated periodically and involve numerous judgments and assumptions, including estimates of future decommissioning costs at current price levels, inflation rates, and discount rates. Changes in these estimates could significantly impact TXNM’s and PNM’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Nuclear decommissioning costs are based on estimates of the costs for removing all radioactive and other structures at PVNGS. AROs, including nuclear decommissioning costs, are discussed in Note 15. Nuclear decommissioning costs represent approximately 76% of PNM’s ARO liability. A 10% increase in the estimates of future decommissioning costs at current price levels would have increased the ARO liability by $15.0 million at December 31, 2025. PNM recognizes an expense and a corresponding liability for ultimate decommissioning of PVNGS. See Note 17 for information concerning NMPRC’s order to address the recovery of decommissioning costs in a future proceeding.
In connection with both the SJGS coal agreement and the Four Corners fuel agreement, the owners and former owners are required to reimburse the mining companies for the cost of contemporaneous reclamation, as well as the costs for final reclamation of the coal mines. The reclamation costs are based on periodic site-specific studies that estimate the costs to be incurred in the future and are dependent upon numerous assumptions, including estimates of future reclamation costs at current price levels, inflation rates, and discount rates. A 10% increase in the estimates of future reclamation costs at current price levels would have increased the mine reclamation liability by $18.4 million at December 31, 2025. PNM considers the contemporaneous reclamation costs part of the cost of its delivered coal costs. The NMPRC has capped the amount that can be collected from ratepayers for final reclamation of the surface mines. If future estimates increase the liability for surface mine reclamation, the excess would be expensed at that time. See Note 16 for discussion of reclamation costs.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
The Company maintains qualified defined benefit pension plans, postretirement benefit plans providing medical and dental benefits, and executive retirement programs. The net periodic benefit cost or income and the calculation of the projected benefit obligations are recognized in the Company’s financial statements and depend on expected investment performance, the
level of contributions made to the plans, and employee demographics. These calculations require the use of a number of actuarial assumptions and estimates. The most critical of the actuarial assumptions are the expected long-term rate of return, the discount rate, and projected health care cost trend rates. The Company reviews and evaluates its actuarial assumptions annually and adjusts them as necessary. Changes in the pension and OPEB assets and liabilities associated with these factors are not immediately recognized as net periodic benefit cost or income in results of operations, but are recognized in future years, generally, over the remaining life of the plan. However, these factors could have a significant impact on the financial position of the Company. Note 11 contains additional information about pension and OPEB obligations, including assumptions utilized in the calculations and impacts of changes in certain of those assumptions.
Accounting for Contingencies
The financial results of the Company may be affected by judgments and estimates related to loss contingencies. Contingencies related to litigation and claims, as well as environmental and regulatory matters, also require the use of significant judgment and estimation. The Company attempts to take into account all known factors regarding the future outcome of contingent events and records an accrual for any contingent loss events that are both probable of occurring and can be reasonably estimated based upon current available information. However, the actual outcomes can vary from any amounts accrued which could have a material effect on the results of operations and financial position of the Company. See Note 16 and Note 17.
Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax expense and related balance sheet amounts involve significant judgment and use of estimates. Amounts of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, current and noncurrent accruals, and determination of uncertain tax positions involve judgment and estimates related to timing and probability of the recognition of income and deductions by taxing authorities. In addition, some temporary differences are accorded flow-through treatment by the Company’s regulators and impact the Company’s effective tax rate. In assessing the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers the estimated amount and character of future taxable income. Significant changes in these judgments and estimates could have a material impact on the results of operations and financial position of the Company. Actual income taxes could vary from estimated amounts due to the future impacts of various items, including changes in income tax laws, the Company’s forecasted financial condition and results of operations in future periods, and the final review from taxing authorities. See Note 18.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
TXNM Energy, Inc.:
Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TXNM Energy, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement Schedule I - Condensed Financial Information of Parent Company and Schedule II - Valuation and Qualifying Accounts (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Basis for Opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Evaluation of regulatory assets and liabilities
As discussed in Notes 1, 13, and 17 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company accounts for their regulated operations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic 980, Regulated Operations (ASC Topic 980). Pursuant to the requirements of ASC Topic 980, the financial statements of a rate-regulated enterprise reflect the actions of regulators. The Company capitalizes, as regulatory assets, incurred and accrued costs that are probable of recovery in future electric rates. In addition, obligations to refund previously collected revenue or to spend revenue collected from customers on future costs are recorded as regulatory liabilities. The Company is subject to comprehensive federal, state and local regulation and legislation, including regulations promulgated by the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission, Public Utility Commission of Texas, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
We have identified the evaluation of regulatory assets and liabilities as a critical audit matter. This was due to the extent of audit effort required in the evaluation of regulatory assets and liabilities in each of the relevant jurisdictions.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s regulatory accounting process, including controls related to the Company’s application of ASC Topic 980 in each jurisdiction and the Company’s calculation and review of regulatory assets and liabilities. We selected regulatory assets and liabilities and assessed the Company’s application of ASC Topic 980 in the relevant jurisdiction by evaluating the underlying orders, statutes, rulings, memorandums, filings or publications issued by the respective regulators. We selected a sample of the regulatory assets and liabilities activity and using the methodologies approved by the relevant regulatory commissions, recalculated the activity and agreed the data used in the calculations to the Company’s underlying books and records. We compared the amounts calculated by the Company to the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could ultimately differ from those estimated.
On August 2, 2024, PNM Resources, Inc. (“PNMR”) amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to TXNM Energy, Inc. (“TXNM”) and increased the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 120,000,000 to 200,000,000. The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements include disclosures for TXNM, PNM, and TNMP. This report uses the term “Company” when discussing matters of common applicability to TXNM, PNM, and TNMP. Discussions regarding only TXNM, PNM, or TNMP are so indicated. Certain amounts in the 2024 and 2023 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the 2025 financial statement presentation.
GAAP defines subsequent events as events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Based on their nature, magnitude, and timing, certain subsequent events may be required to be reflected at the balance sheet date and/or required to be disclosed in the financial statements. The Company has evaluated subsequent events accordingly.
Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements of each of TXNM, PNM, and TNMP include their accounts and those of subsidiaries in which that entity owns a majority voting interest. PNM also consolidates Valencia and ETBC I (Note 10). PNM owns undivided interests in jointly-owned power plants and records its pro-rata share of the assets, liabilities, and expenses for those plants. The agreements for the jointly-owned plants provide that if an owner were to default on its payment obligations, the non-defaulting owners would be responsible for their proportionate share of the obligations of the defaulting owner. In exchange, the non-defaulting owners would be entitled to their proportionate share of the generating capacity of the defaulting owner. There have been no such payment defaults under any of the agreements for the jointly-owned plants.
PNMR Services Company expenses, which represent costs that are primarily driven by corporate level activities, are charged to the business segments. These services are billed at cost and are reflected as general and administrative expenses in the business segments. Other significant intercompany transactions between TXNM, PNM, and TNMP include intercompany loans, interest and income tax sharing payments, as well as equity transactions, and interconnection billings. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. See Note 20.
Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation
The Company maintains its accounting records in accordance with the uniform system of accounts prescribed by FERC and adopted by the NMPRC and PUCT.
Certain of the Company’s operations are regulated by the NMPRC, PUCT, and FERC and the provisions of GAAP for rate-regulated enterprises are applied to the regulated operations. Regulators may assign costs to accounting periods that differ

from accounting methods applied by non-regulated utilities. When it is probable that regulators will permit recovery of costs through future rates, costs are deferred as regulatory assets that otherwise would be expensed. Likewise, regulatory liabilities are recognized when it is probable that regulators will require refunds through future rates or when revenue is collected for expenditures that have not yet been incurred. GAAP also provides for the recognition of revenue and regulatory assets and liabilities associated with “alternative revenue programs” authorized by regulators. Such programs allow the utility to adjust future rates in response to past activities or completed events, if certain criteria are met. Regulatory assets and liabilities are amortized into earnings over the authorized recovery period. Accordingly, the Company has deferred certain costs and recorded certain liabilities pursuant to the rate actions of the NMPRC, PUCT, and FERC. Information on regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities is contained in Note 13.
In some circumstances, regulators allow a requested increase in rates to be implemented, subject to refund, before the regulatory process has been completed and a decision rendered by the regulator. When this occurs, the Company assesses the possible outcomes of the rate proceeding. The Company records a provision for refund to the extent the amounts being collected, subject to refund, exceed the amount the Company determines is probable of ultimately being allowed by the regulator.
Cash and Restricted Cash
Investments in highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered cash and cash equivalents. Cash deposits received and held for a period of time that are restricted to a specific purpose, under the terms of their effective agreements, are considered restricted cash. PNM and TXNM have restricted cash balances related to the ETBC I Securitized Bonds. Restricted cash amounts are included in Other current assets and Other deferred charges on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. See Note 10. At December 31, 2025 and 2024 there was no restricted cash for TNMP.
Utility Plant
Utility plant is stated at original cost and includes capitalized payroll-related costs such as taxes, pension, other fringe benefits, administrative costs, and AFUDC, where authorized by rate regulation, or capitalized interest.
Repairs, including major maintenance activities, and minor replacements of property are expensed when incurred, except as required by regulators for ratemaking purposes. Major replacements are charged to utility plant. Gains, losses, and costs to remove resulting from retirements or other dispositions of regulated property in the normal course of business are credited or charged to accumulated depreciation.
PNM and TNMP may receive reimbursements, referred to as CIAC, from customers to pay for all or part of certain construction projects to the extent the project does not benefit regulated customers in general. PNM and TNMP account for these reimbursements as offsets to utility plant additions based on the requirements of the NMPRC, FERC, and PUCT. Due to the PUCT’s regulatory treatment of CIAC reimbursements, TNMP also receives a financing component that is recognized as Other income on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Under the NMPRC regulatory treatment, PNM typically does not receive a financing component.
Depreciation and Amortization
PNM’s provision for depreciation of utility plant is based upon straight-line rates approved by the NMPRC and FERC. Amortization of nuclear fuel is based on units-of-production. Amortization of software is straight-line. TNMP’s provision for depreciation and of utility plant is based upon straight-line rates approved by the PUCT. Amortization of software is straight-line. Depreciation and amortization of non-utility property, including right-of-use assets for finance leases as discussed in Note 8, is computed based on the straight-line method. The provision for depreciation of certain equipment is allocated between operating expenses and construction projects based on the use of the equipment. Average straight-line rates used were as follows:

Allowance for Funds Used During Construction
As provided by the FERC uniform systems of accounts, AFUDC is charged to regulated utility plant for construction projects. This allowance is designed to enable a utility to capitalize financing costs during periods of construction of property subject to rate regulation. It represents the cost of borrowed funds (allowance for borrowed funds used during construction or “debt AFUDC”) and a return on other funds (allowance for equity funds used during construction or “equity AFUDC”). The debt AFUDC is recorded in interest charges and the equity AFUDC is recorded in other income on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, PNM recorded $13.9 million, $12.9 million, and $9.5 million of debt AFUDC at annual rates of 3.66%, 3.19%, and 2.99% and $9.7 million, $13.0 million, and $9.8 million of equity AFUDC at annual rates of 2.58%, 3.30%, and 3.24%. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, TNMP recorded $8.0 million, $8.0 million, and $5.7 million of debt AFUDC at rates of 3.01%, 4.14%, and 3.49%, and $8.9 million,$4.8 million, and $5.1 million of equity AFUDC at rates of 3.33%, 2.48%, and 3.17%.
Materials, Supplies, and Fuel Stock
Materials and supplies relate to transmission, distribution, and generating assets. Materials and supplies are charged to inventory when purchased and are expensed or capitalized as appropriate when issued. Materials and supplies are valued using an average costing method. Inventories consisted of the following at December 31:

Investments
PNM holds investment securities in the NDT for the purpose of funding its share of the decommissioning costs of PVNGS, a trust for PNM’s share of decommissioning costs at SJGS, and trusts for PNM’s share of final reclamation costs related to the coal mines that served SJGS and continue to serve Four Corners (Note 16). Investments (both equity and available-for-sale debt securities) are measured at fair value on a quarterly basis with changes in fair value for equity securities recognized in earnings for that period. Since third party investment managers have sole discretion over the purchase and sale of the securities (under general guidelines and targets provided by management), PNM records an impairment, as a realized loss, for any available-for-sale debt security that has a fair value which is less than cost at the end of each quarter. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, PNM recorded impairment losses on the available-for-sale debt securities of $0.0 million, $17.8 million and $(19.1) million. No gains or losses are deferred as regulatory assets or liabilities. See Notes 3 and 9. All investments are held in PNM’s name and are in the custody of major financial institutions. The specific identification method is used to determine the cost of securities disposed of, with realized gains and losses reflected in other income and deductions.
As discussed above, PNM immediately records an impairment loss for any available-for-sale debt security that has a fair value that is less than its carrying value. As a result, the Company has no available-for-sale debt securities for which carrying value exceeds fair value and there are no impairments considered to be “other than temporary” that are included in AOCI and not recognized in earnings. All gains and losses resulting from sales and changes in the fair value of equity securities are recognized immediately in earnings.

Equity Method Investment (Previously held)
TXNM accounted for its investment in NMRD using the equity method of accounting because TXNM’s ownership interest resulted in significant influence, but not control, over NMRD and its operations. TXNM recorded as income its percentage share of earnings or loss of NMRD and carried its investment at cost, adjusted for its share of undistributed earnings or losses, until its investment was sold on February 27, 2024. See Note 21.
Goodwill
The Company does not amortize goodwill. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. See Note 19.
Asset Impairment
Tangible long-lived assets and right-of-use assets associated with leases are evaluated in relation to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows to assess recoverability when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired.
Revenue Recognition
See Note 4 for a discussion of electric operating revenues.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
See Note 4 for a discussion of accounts receivable and the allowance for credit losses.
Amortization of Debt Acquisition Costs
Discount, premium, and expense related to the issuance of long-term debt are amortized over the lives of the respective issues. Gains and losses incurred upon the early retirement of long-term debt are recognized in other income or other deductions, except for amounts recoverable through NMPRC, FERC, or PUCT regulation, which are recorded as regulatory assets or liabilities and amortized over the lives of the respective issues. Unamortized premium, discount, and expense related to long-term debt are reflected as part of the related liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Derivatives
The Company records derivative instruments, including energy contracts, on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at their fair value. Changes in the derivatives’ fair value are recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. PNM also records certain commodity derivative transactions recoverable through NMPRC regulation as regulatory assets or liabilities. See Note 9.
The Company treats all forward commodity purchases and sales contracts subject to unplanned netting or “book-out” by the transmission provider as derivative instruments subject to mark-to-market accounting. GAAP provides guidance on whether realized gains and losses on derivative contracts not held for trading purposes should be reported on a net or gross basis and concludes such classification is a matter of judgment that depends on the relevant facts and circumstances. See Note 4.
Decommissioning and Reclamation Costs
PNM is only required to recognize and measure decommissioning liabilities for tangible long-lived assets for which a legal obligation exists. Nuclear decommissioning costs and related accruals are based on periodic site-specific estimates of the costs for removing all radioactive and other structures at PVNGS and are dependent upon numerous assumptions, including estimates of future decommissioning costs at current price levels, inflation rates, and discount rates. PNM’s accruals for PVNGS Units 1, 2, and 3, including portions previously held under leases, have been made based on such estimates, the guidelines of the NRC, and the PVNGS license periods. PNM records its share of the SJGS decommissioning obligation as an ARO on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. Studies on the decommissioning costs of SJGS are performed periodically and revisions to the ARO liability are recorded. See Note 16.

In connection with both the SJGS and Four Corners coal supply agreements, the owners are required to reimburse the mining companies for the cost of contemporaneous reclamation, as well as the costs for final reclamation of the coal mines. The reclamation costs are based on periodic site-specific studies that estimate the costs to be incurred in the future and are dependent upon numerous assumptions, including estimates of future reclamation costs at current price levels, inflation rates, and discount rates. PNM considers the contemporaneous reclamation costs part of the cost of its delivered coal costs. See Note 16 for a discussion of reclamation costs.
Environmental Costs
The normal operations of the Company involve activities and substances that expose the Company to potential liabilities under laws and regulations protecting the environment. Liabilities under these laws and regulations can be material and may be imposed without regard to fault, or may be imposed for past acts, even though the past acts may have been lawful at the time they occurred.
The Company records its environmental liabilities when site assessments or remedial actions are probable, and a range of reasonably likely cleanup costs can be estimated. The Company reviews its sites and measures the liability by assessing a range of reasonably likely costs for each identified site using currently available information and the probable level of involvement and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties. These estimates are based on assumptions regarding the costs for site investigations, remediation, operations and maintenance, monitoring, and site closure. The ultimate cost to clean up the Company’s identified sites varies from its recorded liability due to numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation process. See Note 16.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
See Note 11 for a discussion of pension and postretirement benefits expense, including a discussion of the actuarial assumptions.
Stock-Based Compensation
See Note 12 for a discussion of stock-based compensation expense.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are recognized using the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. All deferred taxes are reflected as non-current on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Current NMPRC, FERC, and PUCT approved rates include the tax effects of the majority of these differences. Rate-regulated enterprises are required to record deferred income taxes for temporary differences accorded flow-through treatment at the direction of a regulatory commission. The resulting deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the expected cash flow to be reflected in future rates. Because the NMPRC, FERC, and the PUCT have consistently permitted the recovery of tax effects previously flowed-through earnings, the Company has established regulatory assets and liabilities offsetting such deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company recognizes only the impact of tax positions that, based on their merits, are more likely than not to be sustained upon an IRS audit. The Company defers investment tax credits and amortizes them over the estimated useful lives of the assets. See Note 18 for additional information, including a discussion of the impact of the Tax Act.
The Company makes an estimate of its anticipated effective tax rate for the year as of the end of each quarterly period within its fiscal year. In interim periods, income tax expense is calculated by applying the anticipated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date earnings before taxes. Certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, as well as adjustments due to enactment of new tax laws, have been excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation.
Lease Commitments
See Note 8 for a discussion of lease commitments.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Information concerning recently issued accounting pronouncements that have not yet been adopted by the Company is presented below. The Company does not expect difficulty in adopting these standards by their required effective dates.
Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 - Income Statement (Subtopic 220-40): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 that will require disclosure, in the notes to the financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual period. Disclosures should include amounts for purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and, intangible asset amortization; certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under GAAP in the same disclosure as other disaggregation requirements; qualitative descriptions of the amounts remaining in relevant expense categories that are not disaggregated; and the total amount of selling expenses including the entity’s definition of selling expenses. In January 2025, ASU 2025-01 was issued to clarify that the amendments of ASU 2024-03 are effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company expects to adopt the disclosure requirements of ASU 2024-03 with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2027.
Accounting Standards Update 2025-05 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 that introduces a practical expedient for all entities and an accounting policy election for entities other than public business entities, related to applying Subtopic 326-20 to current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. In developing a reasonable and supportable forecast as a part of estimating expected credit losses, all entities may elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. Entities other than public business entities that elect the practical expedient are permitted to make an accounting policy election to consider collection activity after the balance sheet date when estimating expected credit losses. An entity that elects the practical expedient and the accounting policy election, if applicable, should apply the amendments in this update prospectively. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined whether it will elect the practical expedient for estimating credit losses, however, it does not expect that this will have a material impact on its current allowance for expected credit losses.
Accounting Standards Update 2025-06 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 that updates the internal-use software guidance in subtopic 350-40 including the removal of all references to prescriptive and sequential developmental stages referred to as “project stages” throughout the subtopic. The new guidance requires an entity to start capitalizing software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and used to perform the function it was intended for (referred to as the “probable-to-complete recognition threshold”). During the evaluation of the probable-to-complete recognition threshold, the entity is required to consider whether there is significant uncertainty associated with the development activities of the software. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The amendments in this update permit an entity to apply the new guidance using a prospective transition approach, a modified transition approach (based on the status of a project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption), or a full retrospective transition approach. The Company has not yet determined which approach to adopt nor the impact that the new guidance will have on the accounting for its internal-use software projects.
(2)Segment Information
TXNM has three reportable segments including PNM, TNMP, and Corporate and other. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The measure of profitability used by the CODM is Segment earnings (loss) attributable to TXNM, as presented below. The CODM uses this measure of profitability to allocate resources for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget to actual variances on a regular basis when making decisions about allocating capital and operational expense funding to the segments. TXNM’s CODM is its President and CEO who is also the CEO of the PNM and TNMP segments.

Significant Segment Expenses
Reflected above are certain additional categories of operating expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM. Cost of energy consists primarily of fuel and purchase power costs for PNM and costs charged by third-party transmission providers for TNMP. Administrative and general - direct expenses are those that are incurred directly by the segment while corporate allocation are those costs that are incurred by the corporate and other segment and allocated to the utilities based on the nature of the cost incurred. Corporate allocation is eliminated in the corporate and other segment. Customer related expenses include meter reading, customer service, and bad debt expenses.
Major Customers
PNM’s participation in EIM, operated by CAISO, accounted for approximately 1%, 4%, and 15% of electric operating revenues during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. These revenues are passed on to customers under PNM’s FPPAC with no impact to net earnings. Two REPs during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 accounted for more than 10% of the electric operating revenues of TNMP as follows:

(4) Electric Operating Revenues
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable consists primarily of trade receivables from customers. In the normal course of business, credit is extended to customers on a short-term basis. The Company estimates the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables based on historical experience and estimated default rates. Accounts receivable balances are reviewed monthly, adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are made as necessary and amounts that are deemed uncollectible are written off. In addition to the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables, the Company has evaluated other receivables for potential credit related losses. These balances include potential exposures for other non-retail utility services. In the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, there were no estimated credit losses related to these transactions.
Revenue Recognition
Retail electric operating revenues are recorded in the period of energy delivery, which includes estimated amounts for service rendered but unbilled at the end of each accounting period. The determination of the energy sales billed to individual retail customers is based on the reading of their meters, which occurs on a systematic basis throughout the month. At the end of each month, amounts of energy delivered to customers since the date of the last meter reading and the corresponding unbilled revenue are estimated. Unbilled electric revenue is estimated based on daily generation volumes, estimated customer usage by class, line losses, historical trends and experience, applicable customer rates or by using AMS data where available. Amounts billed are generally due within the next month. The Company does not incur incremental costs to obtain contracts for its energy services.
PNM’s wholesale electricity sales are recorded as electric operating revenues and wholesale electricity purchases are recorded as costs of energy sold. Derivative contracts that are subject to unplanned netting are recorded net in earnings. A “book-out” is the planned or unplanned netting of off-setting purchase and sale transactions. A book-out is a transmission mechanism to reduce congestion on the transmission system or administrative burden. For accounting purposes, a book-out is the recording of net revenues upon the settlement of a derivative contract.
Unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts that are not designated for hedge accounting are classified as economic hedges. Economic hedges are defined as derivative instruments, including long-term power and fuel supply agreements, used to hedge generation assets and purchased power costs. Changes in the fair value of economic hedges are reflected in results of operations, with changes related to economic hedges on sales included in operating revenues and changes related to economic hedges on purchases included in cost of energy sold. See Note 9.

The Company has collaborative arrangements related to its interest in SJGS, Four Corners, PVNGS, and Luna. The Company has determined that during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 none of the joint owners in its collaborative arrangements were customers under Topic 606. The Company will continue to evaluate transactions between collaborative arrangement participants in future periods under the revenue recognition standard.
PNM and TNMP recognize revenue as they satisfy performance obligations, which typically occurs as the customer or end-user consumes the electric service provided. Electric services are typically for a bundle of services that are distinct and transferred to the end-user in one performance obligation measured by KWh or KW. Electric operating revenues are recorded in the period of energy delivery, including estimated unbilled amounts. The Company has elected to exclude all sales and similar taxes from revenue.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recorded based upon the total authorized tariff or market price at the time electric service is rendered, including amounts billed under arrangements qualifying as an Alternative Revenue Program (“ARP”). ARP arrangements are agreements between PNM or TNMP and its regulator that allow PNM or TNMP to adjust future rates in response to past activities or completed events, if certain criteria are met. ARP revenues are required to be reported separately from contracts with customers. ARP revenues in a given period include the recognition of “originating” ARP revenues (i.e. when the regulator-specific conditions are met) in the period, offset by the reversal of ARP revenues currently approved for recovery by the governing bodies.
Sources of Revenue
Additional information about the nature of revenues is provided below. Additional information about matters affecting PNM’s and TNMP’s regulated revenues is provided in Note 17.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
PNM
NMPRC Regulated Retail Electric Service – PNM provides electric generation, transmission, and distribution service to its rate-regulated customers in New Mexico. PNM’s retail electric service territory covers a large area of north central New Mexico, including the cities of Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, and Santa Fe, and certain areas of southern New Mexico. Customer rates for retail electric service are set by the NMPRC, and revenue is recognized as energy is delivered to the customer. PNM invoices customers on a monthly basis for electric service and generally collects billed amounts within one month.
Transmission Service to Third Parties – PNM owns transmission lines that are interconnected with other utilities in New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah. Transmission customers receive service for the transmission of energy owned by the customer utilizing PNM’s transmission facilities. Customers generally receive transmission services, which are regulated by FERC, from PNM through PNM’s Open Access Transmission Tariff (“OATT”) or a specific contract. Customers are billed based on capacity and energy components on a monthly basis. PNM owns the Western Spirit Line and services under related transmission agreements use an incremental rate, approved by FERC, that is separate from the formula rate mechanism.
Wholesale Energy Sales – PNM engages in activities to optimize its existing jurisdictional assets and long-term power agreements through spot market, hour-ahead, day-ahead, week-ahead, month-ahead, and other sales of excess generation not required to fulfill retail load and contractual commitments. PNM participates in the EIM (a real-time wholesale energy trading market operated by the CAISO) that enables participating electric utilities to buy and sell energy. The NMPRC granted PNM authority to seek recovery of costs associated with joining the EIM, which have been included in the 2024 Rate Change and to pass the benefits of participating in EIM to customers through the FPPAC. Increases in electric operating revenue resulting from PNM’s participation in EIM are passed on to customers through PNM’s FPPAC with no impact to net earnings.
TNMP
PUCT Regulated Retail Electric Service – TNMP provides transmission and distribution services in Texas under the provisions of TECA and the Texas Public Utility Regulatory Act. TNMP is subject to traditional cost-of-service regulation with respect to rates and service under the jurisdiction of the PUCT and certain municipalities. TNMP’s transmission and distribution activities are solely within ERCOT and not subject to traditional rate regulation by FERC. TNMP provides transmission and distribution services at regulated rates to various REPs that, in turn, provide retail electric service to

consumers within TNMP’s service territory. Revenue is recognized as energy is delivered to the consumer. TNMP invoices REPs on a monthly basis and is generally paid within a month.
TCOS – TNMP is a transmission service provider that is allowed to recover its TCOS through a network transmission rate that is approved by the PUCT. TCOS customers are other utilities that receive service for the transmission of energy owned by the customer utilizing TNMP’s transmission facilities.
Alternative Revenue Programs
The Company defers certain costs and records certain liabilities pursuant to the rate actions of the NMPRC, PUCT, and FERC. ARP revenues, which are discussed above, include recovery or refund provisions under PNM’s renewable energy rider and true-ups to PNM’s formula transmission rates; transmission cost recovery factor, and the impacts of the PUCT’s January 25, 2018 order regarding the change in the federal corporate income tax rate; the energy efficiency incentive bonus at both PNM and TNMP; HB 5247; and PNM’s TOD rate pilot program. Regulatory assets and liabilities are recognized for the difference between ARP revenues and amounts currently approved for recovery by the governing bodies. Regulatory assets and liabilities are amortized into earnings as amounts are billed. TNMP’s 2018 Rate Case integrated AMS costs into base rates beginning January 1, 2019. These costs are being amortized into earnings as alternative revenues over a period of five years.
Other Electric Operating Revenues
Other electric operating revenues consist primarily of PNM’s economic hedges that meet the definition of a derivative and are therefore not considered revenue from contracts with customers. Derivative revenues include gains and losses representing changes in fair value (Note 9) and settlements from sales of electricity under forward sales contracts.
Disaggregation of Revenues
A disaggregation of revenues from contracts with customers by the type of customer is presented in the table below. The table also reflects ARP revenues and other revenues.

Contract Balances
Performance obligations related to contracts with customers are typically satisfied when the energy is delivered, and the customer or end-user utilizes the energy. Accounts receivable from customers represents amounts billed, including amounts under ARPs. For PNM, accounts receivable reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of allowance for credit losses, includes $115.9 million and $94.3 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024 resulting from contracts with customers. All of TNMP’s accounts receivable results from contracts with customers.
Contract assets are an entity’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the entity has transferred to a customer when that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time (for example, the entity’s future performance). Upon the completion of the Western Spirit Line, PNM entered into a TSA with Pattern Wind under an incremental tariff rate approved by FERC. The terms of the agreement provide for a financing component that benefits the customer. As such, the revenue that PNM recognizes will be in excess of the consideration received at the beginning of the

service term resulting in a contract asset. The balance of the contract asset was $41.3 million at December 31, 2025 and $32.0 million at December 31, 2024, and is included in Other deferred charges on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Contract liabilities arise when consideration is received in advance from a customer before satisfying the performance obligations. Therefore, revenue is deferred and not recognized until the obligation is satisfied. Under its OATT, PNM accepts upfront consideration for capacity reservations requested by transmission customers, which requires PNM to defer the customer’s transmission capacity rights for a specific period of time. PNM recognizes the revenue of these capacity reservations over the period it defers the customer’s capacity rights. Other utilities pay PNM and TNMP in advance for the joint-use of their utility poles. These revenues are recognized over the period of time specified in the joint-use contract, typically for one calendar year. Deferred revenues on these arrangements are recorded as contract liabilities. TXNM’s, PNM’s, and TNMP’s contract liabilities and related revenues are not material for any of the periods presented. The Company has no other arrangements with remaining performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price would be required to be allocated.
(5)Earnings and Dividends Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to TXNM by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share was computed by dividing net earnings attributable to TXNM by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other agreements to issue common stock were settled. TXNM applies the treasury stock method for restricted stock, the 2022 ATM Program, the 2024 ATM Program, and the 2025 ATM Program. The if-converted method is applied in determining the potential dilutive effect of the conversion of outstanding Convertible Notes. Information regarding the computation of earnings per share and dividends per share is as follows:

(6)Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock and Equity Contributions
In each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, TXNM executed agreements pursuant to which it issued shares of TXNM common stock. Details of these transactions and the physical settlement of shares of TXNM common stock may be found in Note 7. Neither PNM nor TNMP issued any common stock in 2025, 2024, and 2023.
On August 2, 2024, TXNM increased the number of authorized shares of the TXNM common stock from 120,000,000 to 200,000,000.
TXNM funded cash equity contributions to PNM of $123.3 million, $55.0 million, and zero in 2025, 2024, and 2023. TXNM funded $250.0 million, $24.0 million, and $40.9 million of cash equity contributions to TNMP in 2025, 2024, and 2023.

Dividends on Common Stock
The declaration of common dividends by TXNM is dependent upon a number of factors, including the ability of TXNM’s subsidiaries to pay dividends. TXNM’s primary sources of dividends are its operating subsidiaries.
PNM declared and paid cash dividends to TXNM of $51.0 million in 2024 but did not declare or pay any cash dividends in 2025 or 2023. TNMP did not declare or pay any cash dividends to TXNM in 2025, 2024, or 2023.
The NMPRC has placed certain restrictions on the ability of PNM to pay dividends to TXNM, including the restriction that PNM cannot pay dividends that cause its debt rating to fall below investment grade. The NMPRC provisions allow PNM to pay dividends, with at least 15 days prior notice, from current earnings, which are determined on a rolling four quarter basis, or from equity contributions previously made by TXNM. The Federal Power Act also imposes certain restrictions on dividends by public utilities. Debt-to-capitalization ratio requirements, as discussed in Note 7, remain at less than or equal to 65% for PNM and TNMP and less than or equal to 70% for TXNM. These debt-to-capitalization ratio requirements could limit the amounts of dividends that could be paid. PNM also has other financial covenants that limit the transfer of assets, through dividends or other means, including a requirement to obtain the approval of certain financial counterparties to transfer more than five percent of PNM’s assets. As of December 31, 2025, the 65% debt-to-capitalization covenant would restrict the payment of dividends from the retained earnings of PNM to $624.1 million, and the 65% debt-to-capitalization covenant would restrict the payment of dividends by TNMP to $531.9 million. Similarly, the 70% debt-to-capitalization covenant would restrict the payment of dividends by TXNM to $1.7 billion.
In addition, the ability of TXNM to declare dividends is dependent upon the extent to which cash flows will support dividends, the availability of retained earnings, financial circumstances and performance, current and future regulatory decisions, Congressional and legislative acts, and economic conditions. Conditions imposed by the NMPRC or PUCT, future growth plans and related capital requirements, and business considerations may also affect TXNM’s ability to pay dividends.
Preferred Stock
PNM’s cumulative preferred shares outstanding bear dividends at 4.58% per annum. PNM preferred stock does not have a mandatory redemption requirement, but may be redeemed, at PNM’s option, at 102% of the stated value plus accrued dividends. The holders of the PNM preferred stock are entitled to payment before the holders of common stock in the event of any liquidation or dissolution or distribution of assets of PNM. In addition, PNM’s preferred stock is not entitled to a sinking fund and cannot be converted into any other class of stock of PNM.
TXNM and TNMP have no preferred stock outstanding. The authorized shares of TXNM and TNMP preferred stock are 10 million shares and 1 million shares, respectively.
(7)Financing
The Company’s financing strategy includes both short-term and long-term borrowings. The Company utilizes short-term revolving credit facilities, as well as cash flows from operations, to provide funds for both construction and operating expenditures. Depending on market and other conditions, the Company will periodically sell long-term debt or enter into term loan arrangements and use the proceeds to reduce borrowings under the revolving credit facilities or refinance other debt. Each of the Company’s revolving credit facilities, term loans, and other debt agreements contain a single financial covenant that requires the maintenance of a debt-to-capitalization ratio. For the TXNM agreements this ratio must be maintained at less than or equal to 70%, and for the PNM and TNMP agreements this ratio must be maintained at less than or equal to 65%. The Company’s revolving credit facilities, term loans, and other debt agreements generally also contain customary covenants, events of default, cross-default provisions, and change-of-control provisions.
PNM must obtain NMPRC approval for any financing transaction having a maturity of more than 18 months. In addition, PNM files its annual informational financing filing and short-term financing plan with the NMPRC.
Financing Activities
TXNM
At December 31, 2022, TXNM had $1.0 billion outstanding under the TXNM 2021 Delayed-Draw Term Loan, among TXNM, the lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. As discussed below on June 30, 2023, $500.0 million under the TXNM 2021 Delayed Draw Term Loan was prepaid, without penalty, with proceeds from the TXNM 2023 Term Loan. As discussed below, on June 21, 2024, proceeds from the Convertible Notes were used to prepay, without penalty, $449.0 million under the TXNM 2021 Delayed Draw Term Loan. On May 16, 2025, TXNM paid the remaining $51.0 million due under its TXNM 2021 Delayed Draw Term Loan in accordance with its terms.

proceeds from the settled shares to repay borrowings under the TXNM Revolving Credit Facility. Following this settlement, no additional shares of TXNM’s common stock remain subject to future settlement under the TXNM 2024 ATM Program.
On June 10, 2024, TXNM issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Convertible Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and rank junior and subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.75% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1, and mature on June 1, 2054, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased in accordance with their terms. On June 21, 2024, TXNM issued an additional $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes, pursuant to an overallotment option granted by TXNM to the initial purchasers of the $500.0 million Convertible Notes. Proceeds from the Convertible Notes were used to prepay $449.0 million of borrowings under the TXNM 2021 Delayed Draw Term Loan and $90.0 million of borrowings under the TXNM 2023 Term Loan, without penalty, and for other corporate purposes.
TXNM may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to June 6, 2029, except upon the occurrence of certain tax events, rating agency events or treasury stock events (each, a “special event”). TXNM may redeem for cash all, but not less than all, of the Convertibles Notes upon the occurrence of a special event at any time, at its option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, TXNM may redeem for cash all or part (subject to certain limitations on partial redemptions) of the Convertible Notes, at its option, on or after June 6, 2029, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the convertible notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, if the last reported sale price of TXNM’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price of the convertible notes then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which TXNM provides notice of redemption. In each case, TXNM will not, and will not be permitted to, issue a notice of redemption, or specify a redemption date, during any interest deferral period.
Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 1, 2053, the Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only under certain conditions. On or after December 1, 2053, until the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Convertible Notes at their option, at any time, at the conversion rate then in effect, irrespective of these conditions. Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, TXNM will pay cash, or deliver an equal aggregate principal amount of a newly issued series of its nonconvertible junior subordinated notes with the same terms as the Convertible Notes (other than the conversion features and certain features in relation to redemption rights), in either case, up to the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted, and deliver shares of TXNM’s common stock in respect of the remainder, if any, of TXNM’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted.
The conversion rate and the corresponding conversion price will be subject to adjustment by certain events such as increased dividends but will not adjust for any accrued or unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes or if TXNM delivers a notice of a special event redemption, TXNM will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its Convertible Notes in connection with such a corporate event or such notice of special event redemption, as the case may be.
TXNM issued the Convertible Notes pursuant to an indenture dated as of June 10, 2024, between TXNM and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The Convertible Notes are subject to continuing compliance with the representations, warranties, and covenants set forth in the indenture, which include the customary covenants discussed above. In the event of a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture, TXNM may be required to repurchase, for cash, the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes plus accrued interest. TXNM may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to June 6, 2029, except upon the occurrence of a special event as defined in the indenture.
So long as no event of default with respect to the Convertible Notes has occurred and is continuing, TXNM may, at its option, defer interest payments on the Convertible Notes on one or more occasions for up to 20 consecutive semi-annual interest payment periods. During any deferral period, interest on the Convertible Notes will continue to accrue at the then-applicable interest rate on the Convertible Notes. In addition, during any deferral period, interest on deferred interest will accrue at the then-applicable interest rate on the Convertible Notes, compounded semi-annually, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
On January 2, 2026, TXNM notified holders of the Convertible Notes that the Convertible Notes are convertible, at the option of the holders, over a period beginning on January 1, 2026, and ending at the close of business on March 31, 2026, (the

“First Quarter 2026 Conversion Period”). The Convertible Notes are convertible at a conversion rate of 22.5248 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $44.40 per share of common stock. On December 31, 2025, it was determined that the Convertible Notes would become convertible during the First Quarter 2026 Conversion Period because the last reported sale price of TXNM’s common stock, for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the calendar quarter ended December 31, 2025, was greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price in effect on each applicable trading day.
On May 18, 2025, concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement, TXNM entered into the May 2025 Stock Purchase Agreement whereby TXNM sold, in a private placement transaction, 8,000,000 shares of TXNM common stock for a purchase price of $50.00 per share (aggregating $400.0 million). The consummation of the May 2025 Stock Purchase Agreement occurred on June 2, 2025. TXNM used the proceeds to make cash equity contributions to TNMP, to repay borrowings under the TXNM Revolving Credit Facility, and for general corporate purposes.
On May 18, 2025, the execution of the Merger Agreement constituted a “Change of Control” under certain TXNM and TNMP debt agreements. Under each of the specified debt agreements, a “Change of Control” constitutes an “Event of Default,” pursuant to which the lender parties thereto had the right to accelerate the indebtedness under the debt agreements. The definition of Change of Control under the PNM debt agreements and PNM note purchase agreements were not triggered by the execution of the Merger Agreement.
On May 23, 2025, TXNM and TNMP entered into amendments in connection with the TXNM Revolving Credit Facility, TXNM 2023 Term Loan, WFB LOC Facility, and TNMP Revolving Credit Facility with the lender parties thereto (the “Lender Consents”) to (i) amend the definition of "Change of Control" in such agreements such that the entry into the Merger Agreement would not constitute a Change of Control and (ii) waive the Event of Default arising from entry into the Merger Agreement. On December 19, 2025, in connection with exercising the available extension options (discussed below), TXNM and TNMP entered into amendments in connection with the TXNM Revolving Credit Facility and the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility to amend the definition of Change of Control permitting the closing of the Merger. The Change of Control provisions in the PNM debt agreements will not be triggered by the closing of the Merger.
To ensure sufficient liquidity pending the Lender Consents, on May 18, 2025, TXNM entered into the $910.0 million, 364-day TXNM Merger Backstop Revolving Facility between TXNM, the lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The TXNM Merger Backstop Revolving Facility was available to provide liquidity in the event the Company was unable to obtain the Lender Consents. On May 19, 2025, TXNM borrowed approximately $4.0 million under the TXNM Merger Backstop Revolving Facility and subsequently repaid the entire balance by May 21, 2025. The TXNM Merger Backstop Revolving Facility expired according to its terms as TXNM did not make any additional borrowings thereunder by the commitment termination date of May 23, 2025, and the Company was able to obtain the Lender Consents.
On June 24, 2025, TXNM entered into the June 2025 Stock Purchase Agreement whereby TXNM sold, in a private placement transaction, and the purchasers named therein agreed to purchase 3,615,003 shares of TXNM common stock for a purchase price of $55.325 per share (for an aggregate amount of approximately $200 million). The closing of the issuance occurred on June 27, 2025. TXNM used the proceeds to repay an equal amount under the TXNM 2023 Term Loan. TXNM granted the purchasers customary registration rights with respect to the shares, pursuant to which TXNM was required to register such shares for resale with the SEC. On August 8, 2025, TXNM registered the shares for resale.
On August 15, 2025, TXNM entered into a distribution agreement with BofA Securities, Inc., MUFG Securities Americas Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., as sales agents, and Bank of America, N.A., MUFG Securities EMEA plc, Royal Bank of Canada and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as forward purchasers, pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $200.0 million of its common stock, no par value, through the sales agents (the “TXNM 2025 ATM Program”). Sales of the shares made pursuant to the distribution agreement, if any, may be made in “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act. TXNM did not initially receive any proceeds upon the execution of this agreement.
Beginning on August 15, 2025, TXNM sold, through the sales agents listed above, an aggregate of 3,542,377 shares of TXNM common stock as set forth in the table below and used the proceeds to repay borrowings under the TXNM Revolving Credit Facility and for other corporate purposes.

Borrowing Arrangements Between TXNM and its Subsidiaries
TXNM has intercompany loan agreements with its subsidiaries. Individual subsidiary loan agreements vary in amount up to $150.0 million and have either reciprocal or non-reciprocal terms. Interest charged to the subsidiaries is equivalent to interest paid by TXNM on its short-term borrowings or the money-market interest rate if TXNM does not have any short-term borrowings outstanding. All balances outstanding under intercompany loan agreements are eliminated upon consolidation. See Note 1. PNM and TNMP had no borrowings from TXNM at December 31, 2025 and 2024. PNMR Development had $15.9 million and zero in short-term borrowings outstanding from TXNM at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Short-term Debt and Liquidity
As of December 31, 2025, the TXNM Revolving Credit Facility had a financing capacity of $300.0 million, and the PNM Revolving Credit Facility had a financing capacity of $400.0 million.

On December 19, 2025, the first of these one-year extension options was exercised, extending the maturities to March 29, 2030, however, one lender in each of the revolving credit facilities failed to agree to the extension. As a result, effective March 30, 2029, the TXNM Revolving Credit Facility capacity will adjust to $265.4 million, and the PNM Revolving Credit Facility capacity will adjust to $354.1 million. PNM also has the $40.0 million PNM New Mexico Credit Facility with a maturity of May 20, 2026.

That new $200.0 million Revolving Credit Facility was secured by $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of TNMP first mortgage bonds and had a maturity of March 30, 2029, with two one-year extension options that, if exercised, would extend the maturity to March 2031, subject to approval by a majority of the lenders.

(8)Lease Commitments
The Company enters into various lease agreements to meet its business needs and to satisfy the needs of its customers. The Company accounts for contracts that convey the use and control of identified assets for a period of time as leases. The Company classifies leases as operating or financing by evaluating the terms of the lease agreement. Agreements under which the Company is likely to utilize substantially all of the economic value or life of the asset or that the Company is likely to own at the end of the lease term, either through purchase or transfer of ownership, are classified as financing leases. Leases not meeting these criteria are accounted for as operating leases. Agreements under which the Company is a lessor are insignificant. TXNM, PNM, and TNMP determine present value for their leases using their incremental borrowing rates at the commencement date of the lease or, when readily available, the rate implicit in the agreement. The Company leases office buildings, vehicles, energy storage facilities, and other equipment. In addition, PNM had lease interests in PVNGS and certain rights-of-way agreements that are classified as leases. All of the Company’s leases with fixed-payment terms in excess of one year are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets by recording a present value lease liability and a corresponding right-of-use asset. Operating lease expense is recognized within operating expenses according to the use of the asset on a straight-line basis. Financing lease costs, which are comprised primarily of fleet and office equipment leases commencing after January 1, 2019, are recognized by amortizing the right-of-use asset on a straight-line basis and by recording interest expense on the lease liability. Financing lease right-of-use assets amortization is reflected in depreciation and amortization and interest on financing lease liabilities is reflected as interest charges on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
PVNGS
In 1985 and 1986, PNM entered into leases for its interest in PVNGS Unit 1 and 2. The leases initially were scheduled to expire in January 2015 for four Unit 1 leases and January 2016 for four Unit 2 leases. Following procedures set forth in the

TEXAS-NEW MEXICO POWER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023
PVNGS leases, PNM notified four of the lessors under the Unit 1 leases and one lessor under the Unit 2 lease that it would elect to renew those leases on the expiration date of the original leases. The four Unit 1 leases expired in January 2023 and the one Unit 2 lease expired in January 2024. PNM has no further lease payments related to PVNGS Unit 1 or 2.
On April 5, 2021, PNM and Salt River Project entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, pursuant to which PNM agreed to sell to Salt River Project certain PNM-owned assets and nuclear fuel necessary to the ongoing operation and maintenance of leased capacity in PVNGS Unit 1 and Unit 2. In January 2023, the Unit 1 leases expired, and PNM closed on the associated sale to Salt River Project, receiving payments of $33.7 million, of which $28.4 million was recorded as a reduction to Net utility plant on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is presented as cash flows from investing activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In addition, $5.3 million was recorded as a reduction to materials, supplies, and fuel stock on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is presented as cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In January 2024, the Unit 2 leases expired, and PNM closed on the associated sale to Salt River Project, receiving payments of $3.4 million, of which $2.8 million was recorded as a reduction to Net utility plant on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is presented as cash flows from investing activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In addition, $0.6 million was recorded as a reduction to Materials, supplies and fuel stock on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is presented as cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Land Easements and Rights-of-Ways
Many of PNM’s electric transmission and distribution facilities are located on lands that require the grant of rights-of-way from governmental entities, Native American tribes, or private parties. PNM has completed several renewals of rights-of-way, the largest of which is a renewal with the Navajo Nation. PNM is obligated to pay the Navajo Nation annual payments of $6.0 million, subject to adjustment each year based on the Consumer Price Index, through 2029. PNM’s April 2025 payment for the amount due under the Navajo Nation right-of-way lease was $8.8 million, which included amounts due under the Consumer Price Index adjustment. Changes in the Consumer Price Index subsequent to January 1, 2019, are considered variable lease payments.
PNM has other prepaid rights-of-way agreements that are not accounted for as leases or recognized as a component of plant in service. PNM reflects the unamortized balance of these prepayments in other deferred charges on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognizes amortization expense associated with these agreements in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings over their term. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the unamortized balance of these rights-of-ways was $69.2 million and $67.1 million. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, PNM recognized amortization expense associated with these agreements of $4.5 million, $4.3 million, and $3.5 million.
Fleet Vehicles and Equipment
Fleet vehicle and equipment leases commencing on or after January 1, 2019, are classified as financing leases. Fleet vehicle and equipment leases existing as of December 31, 2018, are classified as operating leases. The Company’s fleet vehicle and equipment lease agreements include non-lease components for insignificant administrative and other costs that are billed over the life of the agreement. At December 31, 2025, residual value guarantees on fleet vehicle and equipment leases are $0.7 million, $0.5 million, and $1.2 million for PNM, TNMP, and TXNM Consolidated.
Energy Storage Agreements
The Company has ESAs with fixed payments over the life of the agreements, that are accounted for as operating leases, for which the Company records the initial lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets. In the third quarter of 2025, an energy storage facility with an aggregate capacity of 50 MW began commercial operation and PNM recorded lease liabilities with a corresponding right-of-use asset of $57.8 million. The Company also has ESAs with monthly payments that vary, depending on the available capacity of the energy storage facility, that are also accounted for as operating leases. However, due to the variable nature of the consideration, these agreements do not require a lease liability or a right-of-use asset to be recorded upon inception. Expenses for this type of lease are reflected in variable lease expense in the tables below. During the fourth quarter of 2025, two existing fixed payment ESAs were amended to variable payments based on available capacity, resulting in a $208 million retirement of unamortized right-of-use assets and associated lease liabilities. In addition, the Company has elected to separate lease components from non-lease components for ESAs and accordingly does not include non-lease components in the measurement of the lease liability or right-of-use asset. The non-lease components which are not included in the measurement of the lease liability or the corresponding right-of-use asset, comprises of 25.5% of the value of the agreements.

The above table includes $16.1 million, $16.9 million, and $33.2 million for PNM, TNMP, and TXNM at December 31, 2025 for expected future payments on fleet vehicle and equipment leases that could be avoided if the leased assets were returned and the lessor is able to recover estimated market value for the equipment from third parties.
At December 31, 2025, the Company has an ESA that has been executed with a lease component that has not yet commenced. The lease component begins in 2029, expires in 2044, and will be recognized as a lease asset and liability upon the commencement. The expected total fixed consideration to be paid for this arrangement, which includes non-lease payments, is approximately $94.3 million over the 20-year terms of the agreements.
(9)Fair Value of Derivative and Other Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value is based on current market quotes as available and is supplemented by modeling techniques and assumptions made by the Company to the extent quoted market prices or volatilities are not available. External pricing input availability varies based on commodity location, market liquidity, and term of the agreement. Valuations of derivative assets and liabilities take into account nonperformance risk, including the effect of counterparties’ and the Company’s credit risk. The Company regularly assesses the validity and availability of pricing data for its derivative transactions. Although the Company uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of these instruments, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique.
Energy Related Derivative Contracts
Overview
The primary objective for the use of commodity derivative instruments, including energy contracts, options, swaps, and futures, is to manage price risk associated with forecasted purchases of energy and fuel used to generate electricity, as well as managing anticipated generation capacity in excess of forecasted demand from existing customers. PNM’s energy related derivative contracts manage commodity risk. PNM is required to meet the demand and energy needs of its customers. PNM is exposed to market risk for the needs of its customers not covered under the FPPAC.
PNM’s operations are managed primarily through a net asset-backed strategy, whereby PNM’s aggregate net open forward contract position is covered by its forecasted excess generation capabilities or market purchases. PNM could be exposed to market risk if its generation capabilities were to be disrupted or if its load requirements were to be greater than anticipated. If all or a portion of load requirements were required to be covered as a result of such unexpected situations, commitments would have to be met through market purchases. TNMP does not enter into energy related derivative contracts.

Commodity Risk
Marketing and procurement of energy often involve market risks associated with managing energy commodities and establishing positions in the energy markets, primarily on a short-term basis. PNM routinely enters into various derivative instruments such as forward contracts, option agreements, and price basis swap agreements to economically hedge price and volume risk on power commitments and fuel requirements and to minimize the effect of market fluctuations. PNM monitors the market risk of its commodity contracts in accordance with approved risk and credit policies.
Accounting for Derivatives
Under derivative accounting and related rules for energy contracts, PNM accounts for its various instruments for the purchase and sale of energy, which meet the definition of a derivative, based on PNM’s intent. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, PNM was not hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows from commodity derivatives through designated cash flow hedges. The derivative contracts recorded at fair value that do not qualify or are not designated for cash flow hedge accounting are classified as economic hedges. Economic hedges are defined as derivative instruments, including long-term power agreements, used to economically hedge generation assets, purchased power and fuel costs, and customer load requirements. Changes in the fair value of economic hedges are reflected in results of operations and are classified between operating revenues and cost of energy according to the intent of the hedge. PNM also uses such instruments under an NMPRC approved hedging plan to manage fuel and purchased power costs related to customers covered by its FPPAC. Changes in the fair value of instruments covered by its FPPAC are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities. PNM has no trading transactions.
Commodity Derivatives
In November 2024, February 2025, and April 2025, PNM entered into agreements to purchase a total of 250 MW from July 1, 2025 through August 31, 2025 in order to ensure that customer demand during the 2025 summer peak load period was met. In 2024, PNM had existing agreements to purchase a total of 150 MW from July 1, 2024 through July 31, 2024 and 100 MW from August 1, 2024 through August 30, 2024. All of these agreements are related to customers covered by the FPPAC and are reflected in the commodity derivative table for each of the periods presented below.
PNM’s commodity derivative instruments that are recorded at fair value, all of which are accounted for as economic hedges and considered Level 2 fair value measurements, are presented in the following line items on the Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Certain of PNM’s commodity derivative instruments in the above table are subject to master netting agreements whereby assets and liabilities could be offset in the settlement process. PNM does not offset fair value and cash collateral for derivative instruments under master netting arrangements and the above table reflects the gross amounts of fair value assets and liabilities for commodity derivatives.
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, PNM had no amounts recognized for the legal right to reclaim cash collateral. However, amounts posted as cash collateral under margin arrangements were zero at December 31, 2025, and $0.1 million at December 31, 2024. These amounts are included in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At both December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no obligations to return cash collateral.
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, PNM had no commodity derivative instruments, considered economic hedges, that did not pertain to the NMPRC-approved hedging plan discussed above. Changes in fair value had no impact on PNM’s net earnings during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Commodity contract volume positions are presented in MMBTU for gas related contracts and in MWh for power related contracts.

PNM has contingent requirements to provide collateral under commodity contracts having an objectively determinable collateral provision that are in net liability positions and are not fully collateralized with cash. In connection with managing its commodity risks, PNM enters into master agreements with certain counterparties. If PNM is in a net liability position under an agreement, some agreements provide that the counterparties can request collateral if PNM’s credit rating is downgraded; other agreements provide that the counterparty may request collateral to provide it with “adequate assurance” that PNM will perform; and others have no provision for collateral.
The table below presents information about PNM’s contingent requirement to provide collateral under certain commodity contracts having an objectively determinable collateral position, that are in net liability positions, and that are not fully collateralized with cash. Contractual liability represents those commodity derivative contracts recorded at fair value on the balance sheet, determined on an individual contract basis without offsetting amounts for individual contracts that are in an asset position and could be offset under master netting agreements with the same counterparty. Cash collateral posted under these contracts does not reflect letters of credit under the Company’s revolving credit facilities that may have been issued as collateral. Net exposure is the net contractual liability for all contracts, including those designated as normal purchase and normal sale, offset by existing collateral and by any offsets available under master netting agreements, including both assets and liability positions.

Non-Derivative Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate fair value for cash, receivables, and payables due to the short period of maturity. Investment securities are carried at fair value. Investment securities consist of PNM assets held in the NDT for its share of decommissioning costs of PVNGS, a trust for PNM’s share of decommissioning costs at SJGS, and trusts for PNM’s share of final reclamation costs related to the coal mines serving SJGS and Four Corners. See Note 16. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value of investment securities included $426.4 million and $384.6 million for the NDT, $6.0 million and $8.2 million for the SJGS decommissioning trust, and $73.2 million and $82.7 million for the coal mine reclamation trusts.
PNM records a realized loss as an impairment for any available-for-sale debt security that has a fair value that is less than its carrying value. As a result, the Company has no available-for-sale debt securities for which carrying value exceeds fair value and there are no impairments considered to be “other than temporary” that are included in AOCI and not recognized in earnings. All gains and losses resulting from sales and changes in the fair value of equity securities are recognized immediately in earnings.

Fair Value Disclosures
The Company determines the fair values of its derivative and other financial instruments based on the hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
For investment securities, Level 2 fair values are provided by fund managers utilizing a pricing service. For Level 2 fair values, the pricing provider predominantly uses the market approach using bid side market values based upon a hierarchy of information for specific securities or securities with similar characteristics. Fair values of Level 2 investments in mutual funds are equal to net asset value (“NAV”). For commodity derivatives, Level 2 fair values are determined based on market observable inputs, which are validated using multiple broker quotes, including forward price, volatility, and interest rate curves to establish expectations of future prices. Credit valuation adjustments are made for estimated credit losses based on the overall exposure to each counterparty. For the Company’s long-term debt, Level 2 fair values are provided by an external pricing service. The pricing service primarily utilizes quoted prices for similar debt in active markets when determining fair value. Management of the Company independently verifies the information provided by pricing services. Uncategorized investments include collective investment trusts, real estate funds, and multi-strategy hedge funds, which are measured at NAV at the end of each reporting period. Audited financial statements are received for each fund and reviewed by the Company annually. Fair value for these collective investment trusts is measured using a practical expedient provided under GAAP that allows the NAV per share to be used as fair value for investments in certain entities that do not have readily determinable fair values and are

Investments Held by Employee Benefit Plans
As discussed in Note 11, PNM and TNMP have trusts that hold investment assets for their pension and other postretirement benefit plans. The fair value of the assets held by the trusts impacts the determination of the funded status of each plan, but the assets are not reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Both the PNM Pension Plan and the TNMP Pension Plan hold units of participation in the PNM Resources, Inc. Master Trust (the “PNMR Master Trust”), which was established for the investment of assets of the pension plans. The PNM and TNMP Pension Plans’ investment allocation targets in 2025 consist of 35% equities, 25% alternative investments (both of which are considered return generating), and 40% fixed income.
GAAP provides a practical expedient that allows the net asset value per share to be used as fair value for investments in certain entities that do not have readily determinable fair values and are considered to be investment companies. Fair values for alternative investments held by the PNMR Master Trust and PNM OPEB Plan are valued using this practical expedient. Investments for which fair value is measured using that practical expedient are not required to be categorized within the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 fair values are provided by fund managers utilizing a pricing service. For level 2 fair values, the pricing provider predominately uses the market approach using bid side market value based upon a hierarchy of information for specific securities or securities with similar characteristics. Fair values of Level 2 investments in mutual funds are equal to net asset value as of year-end. Fair value prices for Level 2 corporate term loans predominately use the market approach which uses bid side market values based upon hierarchy information for specific securities or securities with similar characteristics. Alternative investments include private equity funds, hedge funds, real estate funds, and a private collective investment trust. The private equity funds are not voluntarily redeemable. These investments are realized through periodic distributions occurring over a 10 to 15 years term after the initial investment. The real estate funds and hedge funds may be voluntarily redeemed but are subject to redemption provisions that may result in the funds not being redeemable in the near term. The private collective investment trust is a non-unitized fund that does not publish daily prices. Audited financial statements are received for each fund and are reviewed by the Company annually.
The valuation of alternative investments requires significant judgment by the pricing provider due to the absence of quoted market values, changes in market conditions, and the long-term nature of the assets. The significant unobservable inputs include estimates of liquidation value, current operating performance, and future expectations of performance.

(10)Variable Interest Entities
How an enterprise evaluates and accounts for its involvement with variable interest entities, focuses primarily on whether the enterprise has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). This evaluation requires continual reassessment of the primary beneficiary of a VIE.
Valencia
PNM has a PPA to purchase all of the electric capacity and energy from Valencia, a 155 MW natural gas-fired power plant near Belen, New Mexico, through May 2028. In May 2025, the NMPRC approved a new PPA for 167 MW, through 2039, in connection with the 2028 Resource Application. A third party built, owns, and operates the facility while PNM is the sole purchaser of the electricity generated. PNM is obligated to pay fixed operation and maintenance and capacity charges in addition to variable operation and maintenance charges under this PPA. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and

PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF NEW MEXICO AND SUBSIDIARIES
TEXAS-NEW MEXICO POWER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023
2023, PNM paid $20.1 million, $20.5 million, and $20.3 million for fixed charges and $3.9 million, $2.4 million, and $5.2 million for variable charges. PNM does not have any other financial obligations related to Valencia. The assets of Valencia can only be used to satisfy its obligations and creditors of Valencia do not have any recourse against PNM’s assets. During the term of the PPA, PNM has the option, under certain conditions, to purchase and own up to 50% of the plant or the VIE. The PPA specifies that the purchase price would be the greater of 50% of book value reduced by related indebtedness or 50% of fair market value.
PNM sources fuel for the plant, controls when the facility operates through its dispatch, and receives the entire output of the plant, which factors directly and significantly impact the economic performance of Valencia. Therefore, PNM has concluded that the third-party entity that owns Valencia is a VIE and that PNM is the primary beneficiary of the entity since PNM has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Valencia and will absorb the majority of the variability in the cash flows of the plant. As the primary beneficiary, PNM consolidates Valencia in its financial statements. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities, operating expenses, and cash flows of Valencia are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of PNM although PNM has no legal ownership interest or voting control of the VIE. The assets and liabilities of Valencia are set forth below and are not shown separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The owner’s equity and net income of Valencia are considered attributable to non-controlling interest.
Summarized financial information for Valencia is as follows:

Westmoreland San Juan Mining, LLC
As discussed in the subheading Coal Supply in Note 16, PNM and Westmoreland San Juan Mining, LLC (“WSJ LLC”), a subsidiary of Westmoreland Mining Holdings, LLC have an agreement under which mine reclamation services for SJGS will be provided.
TXNM has $19.3 million in letters of credit to facilitate the issuance of reclamation bonds. The letters of credit support results in TXNM having a variable interest in WSJ LLC since TXNM is subject to possible loss in the event performance by TXNM is required under the letters of credit support. TXNM considers the possibility of loss under the letters of credit support to be remote since the purpose of posting the bonds is to provide assurance that WSJ LLC performs the required reclamation of the mine site in accordance with applicable regulations and the reclamation services agreement provides WSJ LLC the ability to recover the cost of reclamation. As discussed in Note 16, each of the SJGS participants has established and actively fund trusts to meet future reclamation obligations.
WSJ LLC is considered a VIE. TXNM’s analysis of its arrangements with WSJ LLC concluded that WSJ LLC has the ability to direct its reclamation services, which are the factors that most significantly impact the economic performance of WSJ LLC. Other than PNM being able to monitor reclamation activities, the reclamation services were solely under the control of WSJ LLC, including developing reclamation plans, hiring of personnel, and incurring operating and maintenance expenses.

TEXAS-NEW MEXICO POWER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023
Neither TXNM nor PNM has any ability to direct or influence the reclamation activities. PNM’s involvement through the reclamation services agreement is a protective right rather than a participating right and WSJ LLC still has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of WSJ LLC. If WSJ LLC performs reclamation services more efficiently than anticipated, its economic performance will improve. Conversely, if WSJ LLC does not perform reclamation services as efficiently as anticipated, its economic performance will be negatively impacted. Accordingly, TXNM believes WSJ LLC is the primary beneficiary and, therefore, WSJ LLC is not consolidated by either TXNM or PNM. The amounts outstanding under the letters of credit support continue to be TXNM’s maximum exposure to loss from the VIE at December 31, 2025.
ETBC I
ETBC I is a wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary of PNM that was formed in August 2023 for the limited purpose of purchasing, owning, and administering energy transition property, issuing securitized bonds, and performing related activities authorized by the NMPRC. On November 15, 2023, ETBC I issued the ETBC I Securitized Bonds and used the proceeds to purchase energy transition property from PNM. The energy transition property purchased includes the right to impose, bill, collect, and adjust a non-bypassable energy transition charge from all PNM retail customers until the ETBC I Securitized Bonds are paid in full and all allowed financing costs have been recovered. The ETBC I Securitized Bonds are secured by the energy transition property and cash collections from the Energy Transition Charges are the sole source of funds to satisfy the debt obligation. The bondholders have no recourse to PNM.
PNM acts as the servicer of the energy transition property on behalf of ETBC I and is responsible for metering, calculating, billing, and collecting the Energy Transition Charges. On behalf of ETBC I, PNM is required to remit all collections of the Energy Transition Charges to the trustee for the ETBC I Securitized Bonds. PNM has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of ETBC I and will absorb the majority of the variability in the cash flows of the entity. As the primary beneficiary, PNM consolidates ETBC I in its financial statements. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities, operating expenses, and cash flows of ETBC I are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of PNM. The following tables summarize the impact of ETBC I on PNM’s Consolidated Financial Statements:

(11)Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
TXNM and its subsidiaries maintain qualified defined benefit pension plans, postretirement benefit plans providing medical and dental benefits, and executive retirement programs (collectively, the “PNM Plans” and “TNMP Plans”). TXNM maintains the legal obligation for the benefits owed to participants under these plans. The periodic costs or income of the PNM

TEXAS-NEW MEXICO POWER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023
Plans and TNMP Plans are included in regulated rates to the extent attributable to regulated operations. PNM and TNMP receive a regulated return on the amounts funded for pension and OPEB plans in excess of the periodic cost or income to the extent included in retail rates (a “prepaid pension asset”).
Participants in the PNM Plans include eligible employees and retirees of TXNM and PNM. Participants in the TNMP Plans include eligible employees and retirees of TNMP. The PNM pension plan was frozen at the end of 1997 with regard to new participants, salary levels, and benefits. Through December 31, 2007, additional credited service could be accrued under the PNM pension plan up to a limit determined by age and service. The TNMP pension plan was frozen at December 31, 2005, with regard to new participants, salary levels, and benefits.
A plan sponsor is required to (a) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status; (b) measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year; and (c) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur.
Unrecognized prior service costs and unrecognized gains or losses are required to be recorded in AOCI and subsequently amortized. To the extent the amortization of these items will ultimately be recovered or returned through future rates, PNM and TNMP record the costs as a regulatory asset or regulatory liability. The amortization of these incurred costs is included as pension and postretirement benefit periodic cost or income in subsequent years.
The Company maintains trust funds for the pension and OPEB plans from which benefits are paid to eligible employees and retirees. The Company’s funding policy is to make contributions to the trusts, as determined by an independent actuary, that comply with minimum guidelines of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and the IRC. Information concerning the fair value of investments is contained in Note 9. The Company has in place a policy that defines the investment objectives, establishes performance goals of asset managers, and provides procedures for the manner in which investments are to be reviewed.
The plans implement investment strategies to achieve the following objectives:
•Implement investment strategies commensurate with the risk that the Corporate Investment Committee deems appropriate to meet the obligations of the pension plans and OPEB plans, minimize the volatility of expense, and account for contingencies
•Transition asset mix over the long-term to a higher proportion of high-quality fixed income investments as the plans’ funded statuses improve
Management is responsible for the determination of the asset target mix and the expected rate of return. The target asset allocations are determined based on consultations with external investment advisors. The expected long-term rate of return on pension and postretirement plan assets is calculated on the market-related value of assets. Actual gains and losses on pension and OPEB plan assets are recognized in the market-related value of assets equally over a period of not more than five years, which reduces year-to-year volatility. For the PNM Plans and TNMP Plans, the market-related value of assets is equal to the prior year’s market-related value of assets adjusted for contributions, benefit payments and investment gains and losses that are within a corridor of plus or minus 4.0% around the expected return on market value. Gains and losses that are outside the corridor are amortized over five years.
In December 2025, TXNM, in its capacity as sponsor of the qualified benefit pension plans, entered into a commitment agreement with Delaware Life Insurance Company (the “Insurer”) under which the plans agreed to purchase a nonparticipating single premium group annuity contract that will transfer to the Insurer 62% of the defined benefit pension obligations and associated plan assets related to pension benefits associated with a previously disposed of gas distribution business. The contract covers approximately 1,400 retirees from the previously disposed of business. To the extent provided in the contract, the Insurer has made an irrevocable commitment, and will be solely responsible, to pay benefits of each Participant that are due on and after June 1, 2026. The transaction will result in no changes to the amount of benefits payable to Participants. As a result of the transaction, PNM recognized a one-time settlement charge of $58.8 million related to the immediate recognition of unamortized net actuarial loss associated with the portion of the pension involved in the transaction.
Pension Plans
For defined benefit pension plans, including the executive retirement plans, the PBO represents the actuarial present value of all benefits attributed by the pension benefit formula to employee service rendered prior to that date using assumptions

The following significant weighted-average assumptions were used to determine the PBO and net periodic benefit cost (income). Should actual experience differ from actuarial assumptions, the PBO and net periodic benefit cost (income) would be affected.

| Expected return on plan assets | 7.00 | | | 5.95 | | | 5.50 | |
| Rate of compensation increase | N/A | | N/A | | N/A |
The assumed discount rate for determining the PBO was determined based on a review of long-term high-grade bonds and management’s expectations. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets reflects the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested, or to be invested, to provide for the benefits included in the PBO. Factors that are considered include, but are not limited to, historic returns on plan assets, current market information on long-term returns (e.g., long-term bond rates) and current and target asset allocations between asset categories. If all other factors were to remain unchanged, a 1% decrease in the expected long-term rate of return would cause PNM’s and TNMP’s 2026 net periodic benefit cost to increase $2.9 million and $0.4 million (analogous changes would result from a 1% increase). The actual rate of return for the PNM and TNMP pension plans was 12.97% and 13.31% for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The Company’s long-term pension investment strategy is to invest in assets whose interest rate sensitivity is correlated with the pension liability. The Company uses an investment strategy, known as Liability Driven Investing, that increases the liability matching investments as the funded status of the pension plans improve. The Company’s investment allocation targets consist of 35% equities, 25% alternative investments (both of which are considered return generating), and 40% liability matching securities that are primarily bonds and other fixed income investments. Equity investments are primarily in domestic securities that include large-, mid-, and small-capitalization companies. The pension plans have a 13% targeted allocation to equities of companies domiciled primarily in developed countries outside of the U.S. The equity investments category includes active and passive managed domestic equity securities that are benchmarked against a variety of style indices. Fixed income investments are primarily corporate bonds of companies from diversified industries and government securities. Alternative investments include investments in hedge funds, real estate funds, and private equity funds. The private equity funds are

structured as multi-manager multi-strategy fund of funds to achieve a diversified position in these asset classes. The hedge funds use multi-strategies that pursue various absolute return strategies such as relative value, merger arbitrage, event driven equities, and structured credit. The real estate investments are commingled real estate portfolios that invest in a diversified portfolio of assets including commercial property, infrastructure, storage facilities and multi-family housing. See Note 9 for fair value information concerning assets held by the pension plans.

2031 - 2035 | 118,524 | | | 14,461 | |
Based on current law, funding requirements, and estimates of portfolio performance, the Company does not expect to make any cash contribution to the pension plans from 2026 through 2030. The funding assumptions were developed using a discount rate of 5.5%. Actual amounts to be funded in the future will be dependent on the actuarial assumptions at that time, including the appropriate discount rates. PNM and TNMP may make additional contributions at their discretion.
Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
For postretirement benefit plans, the APBO is the actuarial present value of all future benefits attributed under the terms of the postretirement benefit plan to employee service rendered to date.

1% decrease in the expected long-term rate of return would cause PNM’s and TNMP’s 2026 net periodic benefit cost to increase $0.8 million and $0.1 million (analogous changes would result from a 1% increase). The actual rate of return for the PNM and TNMP OPEB plans was 11.2% and 9.9% for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The following table shows the assumed health care cost trend rates for the PNM OPEB plan:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | PNM |
| | December 31, |
| | 2025 | | 2024 |
| Health care cost trend rate assumed for next year | 6.50 | % | | 6.50 | % |
| Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate) | 4.75 | | | 4.75 | |
| Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate | 2033 | | 2033 |
TNMP’s exposure to cost increases in the OPEB plan is minimized by a provision that limits TNMP’s share of costs under the plan. Costs of the plan in excess of the limit, which was reached at the end of 2001, are wholly borne by the participants. As a result, a one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have no effect on either the net periodic expense or the year-end APBO. Effective January 1, 2018, the PNM OPEB plan was amended to limit the annual increase in the Company’s costs to 5%. Increases in excess of the limit are born by the PNM OPEB plan participants.
The Company’s OPEB plans invest in a portfolio that is diversified by asset class and style strategies. The OPEB plans generally use the same pension fixed income and equity investment managers and utilize the same overall investment strategy as described above for the pension plans, except there is no allocation to alternative investments. The OPEB plans have a target asset allocation of 30% equities and 70% fixed income. See Note 9 for fair value information concerning assets held by the other postretirement benefit plans. The following OPEB payments, which reflect expected future service and are net of participant contributions, are expected to be paid:

| 2030 | 3,782 | | | 548 | |
2031 - 2035 | 16,362 | | | 2,493 | |
PNM and TNMP did not make cash contributions to the OPEB trusts in 2025 and less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million in 2024. PNM and TNMP do not expect to make cash contributions to the OPEB trusts in 2026-2030. However, a portion of the disbursements attributable to the OPEB trust are paid by PNM and are therefore considered to be contributions to the PNM OPEB plan. Payments by PNM on behalf of the PNM OPEB plan are expected to be $3.2 million in 2026 and $11.2 million in 2027-2030.

Other Retirement Plans
TXNM sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan for eligible employees, including those of its subsidiaries. TXNM’s contributions to the 401(k) plan consist of a discretionary matching contribution equal to 75% of the first 6% of eligible compensation contributed by the employee on a before-tax basis. TXNM also makes a non-matching contribution ranging from 3% to 10% of eligible compensation based on the eligible employee’s age. TXNM also provides executive deferred compensation benefits through an unfunded, non-qualified plan. The purpose of this plan is to permit certain key employees of TXNM who participate in the 401(k) defined contribution plan to defer compensation and receive credits without reference to the certain limitations on contributions.
A summary of expenses for these other retirement plans is as follows:

(12)Stock-Based Compensation
TXNM has various stock-based compensation programs, which provide restricted stock awards, that are performance based and time based, under the Performance Equity Plan (“PEP”). Although certain PNM and TNMP employees are eligible to participate in the TXNM plans, PNM and TNMP do not have separate employee stock-based compensation plans. Performance stock awards awarded under the PEP are awarded for a three-year, overlapping performance period. Performance stock awards with performance periods ending from 2024 through 2025 did not include market targets. Performance stock awards with performance periods ending after 2025 are subject to achieving both performance and market targets. Other awards of restricted stock are only subject to time-based vesting requirements.
Performance Equity Plan
The PEP provides for the granting of non-qualified stock options, restricted stock rights, performance shares, performance units, and stock appreciation rights to officers, key employees, and non-employee members of the Board. Restricted stock under the PEP refers to awards of stock subject to vesting, performance, or market conditions rather than to shares with contractual post-vesting restrictions. Generally, the awards vest ratably over three years from the grant date of the award. However, awards with performance or market conditions vest upon satisfaction of those conditions. In addition, plan provisions provide that upon retirement, participants become 100% vested in certain stock awards. The vesting period for awards of restricted stock to non-employee members of the Board is one year. The total number of shares of TXNM common stock subject to all awards under the 2014 PEP, as approved by TXNM’s shareholders in May 2014, may not exceed 13.5 million shares, subject to adjustment and certain share counting rules set forth in the PEP. This share pool is charged five shares for each share subject to restricted stock or other full value award. In May 2023, TXNM’s shareholders approved the

2023 PEP which set the maximum number of shares subject to all awards to be 2.5 million shares. The 2023 PEP share pool is charged a single share for each award.
Source of Shares
The source of shares for exercised stock options and vested restricted stock is currently shares acquired on the open market by an independent agent, rather than newly issued shares.
Accounting for Stock Awards
The stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards without performance or market conditions to participants that are retirement eligible on the grant date is recognized immediately at the grant date and is not amortized. Compensation expense for other such awards is amortized to compensation expense over the shorter of the requisite vesting period or the period until the participant becomes retirement eligible. Compensation expense for performance-based shares is recognized ratably over the performance period as required service is provided and is adjusted periodically to reflect the level of achievement expected to be attained. Compensation expense related to market-based shares is recognized ratably over the measurement period, regardless of the actual level of achievement, provided the employees meet their service requirements.
Total compensation expense for stock-based payment arrangements recognized by TXNM for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $8.8 million, $9.5 million, and $7.2 million. Stock compensation expense of $5.6 million, $5.0 million, and $4.8 million was charged to PNM and $3.2 million, $2.7 million, and $2.4 million was charged to TNMP for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. At December 31, 2025, TXNM had unrecognized compensation expense related to stock awards of $6.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over an average of 1.62 years.
TXNM receives a tax deduction for the value of restricted stock at the vesting date. To the extent the tax deduction exceeds the Company’s cumulative expense related to a stock award, an excess tax benefit is recorded. When the cumulative expense exceeds the tax deduction, a tax deficiency is recorded. All excess tax benefits and deficiencies are recorded to tax expense and classified as operating cash flows when used to reduce taxes payable.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| TNMP | | 162 | | | 4 | | | 76 | | | |
TXNM | | 521 | | | 17 | | | 261 | | | |
TNMP used excess tax benefits to reduce income taxes payable and the benefit was reflected in cash flows from operating activities. The benefit of excess tax benefits at PNM and TXNM will be reflected in operating cash flows when they reduce income taxes payable.
The grant date fair value for restricted stock and stock awards with Company internal performance targets is determined based on the market price of TXNM common stock on the date of the agreements reduced by the present value of future dividends that will not be received prior to vesting. The grant date fair value is applied to the total number of shares that are anticipated to vest, although the number of performance shares that ultimately vest cannot be determined until after the performance periods end. The grant date fair value of stock awards with market targets is determined using Monte Carlo simulation models, which provide grant date fair values that include an expectation of the number of shares to vest at the end of the measurement period. The following table summarizes the weighted-average assumptions used to determine the awards grant date fair value:

Included as granted and released in the table above are 50,923 previously awarded shares that were earned for the 2022 - 2024 performance measurement period and ratified by the Board in February 2025 (based upon achieving targets at above “target”, below “maximum” levels). Also included, as granted and released, are 1,524 of other RSAs for participants who retired and immediately vested. Included as released, are 44,577 of previously awarded shares that were earned for the 2023 - 2025 performance measurement period (based upon achieving targets at above “threshold”, below “target” levels) that the Board elected to release in December 2025. Excluded from the table above are 242,177 and 195,119 shares for the three-year performance periods ending in 2026 and 2027 that will be awarded if all performance criteria are achieved at maximum levels and all executives remain eligible.
At December 31, 2023, the Company had active retention agreements with its then Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and its then Senior Vice President and General Counsel under which they would be awarded a total of 26,766 and 8,922 respectively of restricted stock rights if they remained employed through the award’s vesting date which is the earliest of 24 months from the grant date or six months following the termination of the Avangrid Merger. As of December 31, 2023, upon the notice from Avangrid regarding the termination of the Avangrid Merger Agreement, these awards vested on June 30, 2024.
On December 4, 2023, the Company entered into a retention agreement with its then President and Chief Operating Officer under which he would receive a retention bonus of $1.0 million to be paid in increments beginning in December 2023 and continuing each December until 2025. On April 8, 2024, pursuant to the retention agreement, the Board elected to convert the unvested portion of the retention bonus of $0.8 million into restricted stock rights whereby each share of restricted stock is equal to one share of Company common stock as of the first trading day after expiration of the then current black-out period. On May 3, 2024, subsequent to the expiration of the black-out period, 19,851 restricted stock rights were awarded and 6,617 have vested as of December 31, 2024, in accordance with the original terms of the retention agreement. On December 1, 2025, the remaining 13,234 restricted stock rights vested in accordance with the original terms of the retention agreement.
On September 16, 2024, in connection with a one-time sign-on equity grant, the Company’s newly appointed General Counsel, Senior Vice President Regulatory and Public Policy, and Corporate Secretary was awarded 9,300 shares of restricted stock, of which 50% vested immediately and the remaining 50% vested on September 16, 2025.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023
The Company’s regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities are reflected in rates charged to customers or have been addressed in a regulatory proceeding. The Company does not receive or pay a rate of return on the following regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities (and their remaining amortization periods): SJGS securitized costs (over the life of the ETBC I Securitized Bonds); portions of PVNGS Leased Interest (through 2044); PVNGS rate refunds (through 2026); deferred income taxes (over the remaining life of the taxable item, up to the remaining life of utility plant); pension and OPEB costs (through 2040).
The Company is permitted, under rate regulation, to accrue and record a regulatory liability for the estimated cost of removal and salvage associated with certain of its assets through depreciation expense. Actuarial losses and prior service costs for pension plans are required to be recorded in AOCI; however, to the extent authorized for recovery through the regulatory process these amounts are recorded as regulatory assets or liabilities. Based on prior regulatory approvals, the amortization of these amounts will be included in the Company’s rates. Based on a current evaluation of the various factors and conditions that are expected to impact future cost recovery, the Company believes that future recovery of its regulatory assets is probable.
(14)Construction Program and Jointly-Owned Electric Generating Plants
PNM is a participant in jointly-owned power plant projects. The primary operating or participation agreements for the other joint projects expire in July 2041 for Four Corners, December 2046 for Luna, and November 2047 for PVNGS. PNM’s expenditures for additions to utility plant were $585.2 million in 2025, including expenditures on jointly-owned projects. TNMP does not participate in the ownership or operation of any generating plants, but incurred expenditures for additions to utility plant of $563.1 million during 2025. On a consolidated basis, TXNM’s expenditures for additions to utility plant were $1,195.9 million in 2025.
Joint Projects
Under the agreements for the jointly-owned projects, PNM has an undivided interest in each asset and liability of the project and records its pro-rata share of each item in the corresponding asset and liability account on PNM’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Likewise, PNM records its pro-rata share of each item of operating and maintenance expenses for its jointly-owned plants within the corresponding operating expense account in its Consolidated Statements of Earnings. PNM is responsible for financing its share of the capital and operating costs of the joint projects.
At December 31, 2025, PNM’s interests in jointly-owned generating facilities including transmission, distribution, and plant in common are:

Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station
PNM is a participant in the three units of PVNGS with APS (the operating agent), SRP, EPE, SCE, SCPPA, and The Department of Water and Power of the City of Los Angeles. PNM has ownership interests of 2.3% in Unit 1, 9.4% in Unit 2, and 10.2% in Unit 3. In January 2023, leased capacity of 104 MW in PVNGS Unit 1 expired and the rights to the capacity were acquired by SRP from the lessors subsequently, making PNM’s interest in PVNGS be 7.6% at December 31, 2023. In January 2024, the leased capacity of 10 MW in PVNGS Unit 2 expired and the rights were also acquired by SRP, reducing PNM’s interest in PVNGS to 7.3%. See Note 8 for additional information concerning the PVNGS leases.
Four Corners Power Plant
PNM is a participant in two units of Four Corners with APS (the operating agent), an affiliate of APS, SRP, and Tucson. PNM has a 13.0% undivided interest in Units 4 and 5 of Four Corners. The Four Corners plant site is located on land within the Navajo Nation and is subject to an easement from the federal government. APS, on behalf of the Four Corners participants, negotiated amendments to an existing agreement with the Navajo Nation, which extends the owners’ right to operate the plant on the site to July 2041.

(15)Asset Retirement Obligations
AROs are recorded based on studies to estimate the amount and timing of future ARO expenditures and reflect underlying assumptions, such as discount rates, estimates of the future costs for decommissioning, and the timing of the removal activities to be performed. Approximately 76.2% of PNM’s total ARO liabilities are related to nuclear decommissioning of PVNGS. PNM is responsible for all decommissioning obligations related to its entire interest in PVNGS, including portions both during and after termination of the leases. Studies of the decommissioning costs of PVNGS, SJGS, Four Corners, and other facilities are performed periodically and revisions to the ARO liabilities are recorded. Changes in the assumptions underlying the calculations may also require revisions to the estimated AROs when identified.

Merger-Related Litigation
Counsel for TXNM has received a number of demand letters from certain law firms on behalf of individuals who are purported TXNM shareholders, accompanied by draft complaints naming TXNM and its directors as defendants and alleging that TXNM’s preliminary proxy statement with respect to the Merger omitted or misrepresented certain material information. Such draft complaints include a request for injunctive relief with respect to the TXNM shareholder vote to approve, and the closing of, the Merger, as well as other remedies, including counsel fees. In August 2025, reported shareholders filed complaints in New York state court alleging disclosure violations and seeking injunctive relief. TXNM believes that the allegations set forth in the demand letters, draft complaints, and complaints are without merit and will defend against such actions vigorously.

PVNGS Decommissioning Funding
The costs of decommissioning a nuclear power plant are substantial. PNM is responsible for all decommissioning obligations related to its entire interest in PVNGS, including portions under leases both during and after termination of the leases. PNM has a program for funding its share of decommissioning costs for PVNGS, including portions previously held under leases. The nuclear decommissioning funding program is invested in equities and fixed income instruments in qualified and non-qualified trusts. PNM funded $1.3 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 into the qualified trust funds. The fair value of the trusts at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $426.4 million and $384.6 million.
Nuclear Spent Fuel and Waste Disposal
Nuclear power plant operators are required to enter into spent fuel disposal contracts with the DOE that require the DOE to accept and dispose of all spent nuclear fuel and other high-level radioactive wastes generated by domestic power reactors. Although the Nuclear Waste Policy Act required the DOE to develop a permanent repository for the storage and disposal of spent nuclear fuel by 1998, the DOE announced that it would not be able to open the repository by 1998 and sought to excuse its performance of these requirements. In November 1997, the DC Circuit issued a decision preventing the DOE from excusing its own delay but refused to order the DOE to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel. Based on this decision and the DOE’s delay, a number of utilities, including APS (on behalf of itself and the other PVNGS owners, including PNM), filed damages actions against the DOE in the Court of Federal Claims. The lawsuits filed by APS alleged that damages were incurred due to DOE’s continuing failure to remove spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste from PVNGS. APS and the DOE entered into a settlement agreement, subsequently extended, that established a process for the payment of claims for costs incurred through December 31, 2025. Under the settlement agreement, APS must submit claims annually for payment of allowable costs. APS is currently evaluating a proposed extension of the settlement agreement to cover costs paid through December 31, 2028. PNM records estimated claims on a quarterly basis. The benefit from the claims is passed through to customers under the FPPAC.
PNM estimates that it will incur approximately $55.6 million (in 2023 dollars) for its share of the costs related to the on-site interim storage of spent nuclear fuel at PVNGS for the remaining term of the operating licenses. PNM accrues these costs as a component of fuel expense as the nuclear fuel is consumed. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, PNM had a liability for interim storage costs of $15.5 million and $13.4 million, which is included in other deferred credits.
PVNGS has sufficient capacity at its on-site Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (“ISFSI”) to store all of the nuclear fuel that will be irradiated during the initial operating license period, which ends in December 2027. Additionally, PVNGS has sufficient capacity at its on-site ISFSI to store a portion of the fuel that will be irradiated during the period of extended operation, which ends in November 2047. If uncertainties regarding the U.S. Government’s obligation to accept and store spent fuel are not favorably resolved, APS will evaluate alternative storage solutions that may obviate the need to expand the ISFSI to accommodate all of the fuel that will be irradiated during the period of extended operation.
The New Mexico Energy Transition Act
The New Mexico Energy Transition Act (“ETA”) sets a statewide standard that requires investor-owned electric utilities to have specified percentages of their electric-generating portfolios be from renewable and zero-carbon generating resources. The passage of the ETA amended the REA to require utilities operating in New Mexico to have renewable portfolios equal to 40% by 2025, 50% by 2030, 80% by 2040, and 100% zero-carbon energy by 2045. The amendments also allow for the

recovery of undepreciated investments and decommissioning costs related to qualifying EGUs that the NMPRC has required be removed from retail jurisdictional rates, provided replacement resources to be included in retail rates have lower or zero-carbon emissions. The ETA requires the NMPRC to review and approve utilities’ annual renewable portfolio plans to ensure compliance with the RPS. Also pursuant to the ETA, the NM Environmental Improvement Board adopted standards of performance that limit CO2 emissions to no more than 1,100 lbs. per MWh beginning January 1, 2023, for new and existing coal-fired EGUs with original installed capacities exceeding 300 MW.
The ETA provides for a transition from fossil-fuel generation resources to renewable and other carbon-free resources through certain provisions relating to the abandonment of coal-fired generating facilities. These provisions include the use of energy transition bonds to finance certain costs of abandoning coal-fired facilities that are retired prior to January 1, 2023, for facilities operated by a “qualifying utility,” or prior to January 1, 2032 for facilities that are not operated by a qualifying utility. The amount of energy transition bonds that can be issued to recover abandonment costs is limited to the lesser of $375.0 million or 150% of the undepreciated investment of the facility as of the abandonment date. Proceeds provided by energy transition bonds must be used only for purposes related to providing utility service to customers and to pay energy transition costs (as defined by the ETA). These costs may include plant decommissioning and coal mine reclamation costs provided those costs have not previously been recovered from customers or disallowed by the NMPRC or by a court order. Proceeds from energy transition bonds may also be used to fund severances for employees of the retired facility and related coal mine and to promote economic development, education and job training in areas impacted by the retirement of the coal-fired facilities. Energy transition bonds must be issued under a NMPRC-approved financing order, are secured by “energy transition property,” are non-recourse to the issuing utility, and are repaid by a non-bypassable charge paid by all customers of the issuing utility. These customer charges are subject to an adjustment mechanism designed to provide for timely and complete payment of principal and interest due under the energy transition bonds.
The ETA also provides that utilities must obtain NMPRC approval of competitively procured replacement resources that shall be evaluated based on their cost, economic development opportunity, ability to provide jobs with comparable pay and benefits to those lost upon retirement of the facility, and that do not exceed emissions thresholds specified in the ETA. In determining whether to approve replacement resources, the NMPRC must give preference to resources with the least environmental impacts, those with higher ratios of capital costs to fuel costs, and those located in the school district of the abandoned facility. The ETA also provides for the procurement of energy storage facilities and gives utilities discretion to maintain, control, and operate these systems to ensure reliable and efficient service.
The ETA has had and will have a significant impact on PNM’s future generation portfolio, including PNM’s retirement of SJGS in 2022. PNM cannot predict the full impact of the ETA with respect to Four Corners or the outcome of its future generating resource abandonment and replacement resource filings with the NMPRC. See additional discussion in Note 17 of PNM’s SJGS and Four Corners Abandonment Applications.
The Clean Air Act
Regional Haze
Pursuant to the CAA, states are required to establish goals for improving visibility in national parks and wilderness areas (also known as Class I areas) and to develop long-term strategies for reducing emissions of air pollutants that cause visibility impairment in their own states and for preventing degradation in other states. States must establish a series of interim goals to ensure continued progress by adopting a new SIP every ten years. In the first SIP planning period, states were required to conduct BART determinations for certain covered facilities, including utility boilers, built between 1962 and 1977 that have the potential to emit more than 250 tons per year of visibility impairing pollution. For all future SIP planning periods, states must evaluate whether additional emissions reduction measures may be needed to continue making reasonable progress toward natural visibility conditions.
SIPs for the second planning period were due in July 2021, which deadline NMED was unable to meet. NMED is currently preparing its SIP for the second compliance period and has notified PNM that it will not be required to submit a regional haze four-factor analysis for SJGS since PNM retired its share of SJGS in 2022. On August 30, 2022, EPA published in the Federal Register an official “Finding of Failure to Submit” for states, including New Mexico, that have not yet submitted a round 2 regional haze SIP. This action by EPA started a two-year clock for it to issue a FIP which deadline has now passed. NMED petitioned the NM Environmental Improvement Board to adopt a proposed SIP and submitted a final revised plan to the NM Environmental Improvement Board on March 3, 2025. PNM submitted comments on the proposed SIP in response to a request for comments by NMED. The NM Environmental Improvement Board held a public hearing from April 28 to April 30, 2025. On December 8, 2025, the NM Environmental Improvement Board adopted the proposed SIP and final rule. No PNM

generating stations were identified as reasonable progress units under the adopted SIP indicating that no additional emissions reductions measures may be necessary at this time.
On March 12, 2025, as part of EPA’s list of 31 deregulatory actions, EPA announced it would restructure the Regional Haze Program. On October 2, 2025, EPA published an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking to solicit information from the public to help develop regulatory changes on the implementation and structure of the Regional Haze Rule (“RHR”). The advanced notice itself does not impose any requirements but requests input on how EPA can revise the RHR to streamline regulatory requirements impacting states’ visibility improvement obligations. Comments were due December 1, 2025.
Carbon Dioxide Emissions
In 2015, EPA established standards to limit CO2 emissions from power plants, including (1) Carbon Pollution Standards for new, modified, and reconstructed power plants; and (2) the Clean Power Plan for existing power plants. Challengers successfully petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court for a stay of the Clean Power Plan. In 2019, EPA repealed the Clean Power Plan, promulgated the ACE Rule, and revised the implementing regulations for all emission guidelines. The ACE Rule was also challenged, and on January 19, 2021, the DC Circuit issued an opinion in American Lung Association and American Public Health Association v. EPA, et al., vacating the ACE Rule.
Numerous parties sought review by the U.S. Supreme Court, and on June 30, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the “generation shifting” approach in the Clean Power Plan exceeded the powers granted to EPA by Congress. Of broader significance in administrative law, the Court’s opinion expressly invoked the “major question” doctrine, which requires rules involving issues of “vast economic or political significance” to be supported by clear statutory authorization. In cases where there is no clear statement of authority, courts need not defer to the agency’s statutory interpretation on “major questions.” The decision sets legal precedent for future rulemakings by EPA and other federal regulatory agencies whereby the agencies’ authority may be limited based upon similar reasoning.
The litigation over the Carbon Pollution Standards remains held in abeyance but could be reactivated by the parties upon a determination by the court that reconsideration of the rule has concluded.
In 2024, EPA adopted regulatory actions under CAA Sections 111(b) and (d) to replace the Clean Power Plan and the ACE Rule. The final rules include revised new source performance standards under Section 111(b) for all new natural gas-fired combustion turbines and emission guidelines under Section 111(d) requiring states to develop standards of performance for GHG emissions from existing fossil-fuel-fired electric steam generating units. In the final rules, EPA determined that the standards for existing coal- or gas-fired steam generating units must be based on the use of either CCS (long-term), natural gas co-firing (medium-term), or exempt from the rule via early retirement. The standards for new combustion turbines must be based on CCS (base load), efficient simple cycle design (intermediate load), or lower-emitting fuels (low load). Over a dozen states, several industry groups and some power companies and labor unions filed challenges to the rule at the DC Circuit, which heard oral arguments on December 6, 2024. However, President Trump issued several executive orders on January 20, 2025, directing his Administration to review all agency actions and suspend, revise, or rescind those identified as imposing an undue burden on domestic energy resources. On March 12, 2025, as part of EPA’s reconsideration of 31 environmental regulations, EPA announced the agency will reconsider the previous Administration’s regulations on GHG standards and guidelines for power plants. On June 17, 2025, EPA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register with two alternatives to repeal or revise the GHG emission standards for EGUs. EPA primarily proposes to find that GHG emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants “do not contribute significantly to dangerous air pollution” under the meaning of CAA Section 111, which would preclude EPA from regulating GHG emissions from those plants. As a result, EPA is proposing to repeal all GHG standards for the power sector promulgated under CAA Section 111 in both 2015 and 2024. EPA also proposed, in the alternative, to find that CCS is not adequately demonstrated and that neither CCS nor gas co-firing are the best system of emission reduction for GHG emissions from power plants, which findings also support repeal of those specific requirements from the rules adopted in 2024. Comments were due by September 15, 2025, and EPA had indicated it intended to finalize the proposed rule in the first quarter of 2026.
Because the CAA 111 rule does not contain provisions for existing natural gas units, on March 26, 2024, EPA announced it was opening a non-regulatory docket and issued framing questions to gather input about ways to design a stronger, more durable approach to GHG regulation of existing gas combustion turbines. The docket was open for public comment from March 26, 2024 to May 28, 2024 and the agency held a policy forum to bring stakeholders together to share ideas with EPA and others. Under the Trump Administration, EPA is unlikely to propose a rule based on this non-regulatory docket.

In 2021, President Biden signed an extensive executive order aimed at addressing climate change concerns domestically and internationally. The order was intended to build on the initial climate-related actions the Biden Administration took on January 20, 2021. It addressed a wide range of issues, including establishing climate change concerns as an essential element of U.S. foreign and security policy, identifying a process to determine the U.S. INDC under the Paris Agreement, and establishing a Special Presidential Envoy for Climate that would sit on the National Security Council. On April 22, 2021, at the Earth Day Summit, as part of the U.S.’s re-entry into the Paris Agreement, President Biden unveiled the goal to cut U.S. emissions by 50% - 52% from 2005 levels by 2030, nearly double the GHG emissions reduction target set by the Obama Administration. The 2030 goal joined President Biden’s other climate goals which included a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035 and a net-zero emissions economy by no later than 2050. In an executive order issued on January 20, 2025, President Trump ordered his Administration to withdraw the U. S. from the Paris Agreement and from any agreement, pact, accord, or similar commitment made under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
On August 1, 2025, EPA published a proposal to rescind the 2009 final rule commonly known as the Endangerment Finding. In the Endangerment Finding, EPA found that current and projected atmospheric concentrations of the well-mixed combination of six GHGs threaten public health and welfare, and that the combined emissions of these GHGs from new motor vehicles and engines contribute to the GHG pollution that threatens public health and welfare. This provided the basis for EPA’s subsequent GHG regulations applicable to stationary sources. Comments were due September 15, 2025. On January 7, 2026, EPA sent the proposed rule rescinding the 2009 Endangerment Finding to OMB. On February 12, 2026, the final rule was finalized as proposed, repealing all GHG emission standards for certain vehicles and engines promulgated on the basis of the Endangerment Finding. While the Endangerment Finding did not directly impose any requirements on EGUs, EPA cited the Endangerment Finding as a basis for its authority to regulate GHG emissions from EGUs under CAA Section 111.
PNM’s review of the GHG emission reductions standards that have or may occur as a result of legislation or regulation is ongoing. We are currently determining what impact, if any, the final rules will have on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (“NAAQS”)
The CAA requires EPA to set NAAQS for pollutants reasonably anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. EPA has set NAAQS for certain pollutants, including NOx, SO2, ozone, and particulate matter.
NOX Standard – In 2018, EPA published the final rule to retain the current primary health-based NOx standards of which NO2 is the constituent of greatest concern and is the indicator for the primary NAAQS. EPA concluded that the current 1-hour and annual primary NO2 standards are requisite to protect public health with an adequate margin of safety. The rule became effective on May 18, 2018. The State of New Mexico has attained the current NOx NAAQS standards.
SO2 Standard – In 2019, EPA announced its final decision to retain, without changes, the primary health-based NAAQS for SO2. Specifically, EPA retained the current 1-hour standard for SO2, which is 75 parts per billion, based on the 3-year average of the 99th percentile of daily maximum 1-hour SO2 concentrations. In 2021, EPA published in the Federal Register the initial air quality designations for all remaining areas not yet designated under the 2010 SO2 Primary NAAQS. All areas of New Mexico have been designated attainment/unclassifiable through four rounds of designations by EPA.
Ozone Standard – In 2015, EPA finalized the new ozone NAAQS and lowered both the primary and secondary 8-hour standard from 75 to 70 parts per billion. With ozone standards becoming more stringent, fossil-fueled generation units will come under increasing pressure to reduce emissions of NOx and volatile organic compounds since these are the pollutants that form ground-level ozone. During 2017 and 2018, EPA released rules establishing area designations for ozone. In those rules, San Juan County, New Mexico, where Four Corners is located, is designated as attainment/unclassifiable and only a small area in Doña Ana County, New Mexico is designated as marginal non-attainment. Although Afton Generating Station is located in Doña Ana County, it is not located within the small area designated as non-attainment for the 2015 ozone standard. PNM does not believe there will be material impacts to its facilities because of the non-attainment designation of the small area within Doña Ana County. Until EPA approves attainment designations for the Navajo Nation and releases a proposal to implement the revised ozone NAAQS, PNM is unable to predict what impact the adoption of these standards may have on Four Corners. On July 13, 2020, EPA proposed to retain the existing ozone NAAQS based on a review of the full body of currently available scientific evidence and exposure/risk information, but on August 21, 2023, EPA announced an entirely new review of the ozone standard. PNM cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
In 2019, EPA issued findings that several states, including New Mexico, had failed to submit interstate transport SIPs for the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS, triggering an obligation for EPA to issue a FIP within two years. In response, NMED

submitted a Good Neighbor SIP on July 27, 2021, that demonstrates that there are no significant contributions from New Mexico to downwind problems in meeting the federal ozone standard. On March 15, 2023, EPA Administrator Regan signed a final action imposing a FIP on multiple states but did not include a FIP for New Mexico because the most updated modeling available at the time of the proposal confirmed the state did not contribute to downwind ozone nonattainment or maintenance areas. However, the updated modeling EPA used in the final rule indicated that New Mexico may be significantly contributing to one or more non-attainment or maintenance areas. In light of that modeling result, on February 16, 2024, the EPA published a proposed rule partially disapproving the SIPs for New Mexico and four other states (Arizona, Iowa, Kansas, and Tennessee) and expanding the Good Neighbor FIP to apply to these states. The FIP aspect of the proposed rule would have required fossil fuel-fired power plants in these five states to participate in an allowance-based ozone season NOx emissions trading program beginning in 2025, but the outgoing Biden Administration did not finalize the rule. On March 10, 2025, in the DC Circuit, the EPA filed a motion for voluntary remand of its ozone interstate transport FIP for the 2015 ozone NAAQS to reconsider the rule and had anticipated completing a new rulemaking by Fall 2026. In addition, EPA has now reconsidered the policies underlying its Good Neighbor rule, and, on January 30, 2026, EPA issued a proposed rule to approve New Mexico’s SIP submission because it will not contribute significantly to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS in any other state. If finalized, the EPA will withdraw the prior proposed partial SIP disapproval.
PM Standard – In 2023, EPA published, in the Federal Register, a proposal to lower the annual fine PM standard to between 9-10 µg/m3 but retain the rest of its PM standards, including the current daily fine PM standard, the daily coarse PM standard, and the secondary PM standards. The final rule was published on March 6, 2024, lowering the primary annual PM 2.5 NAAQS to 9 ug/m3, and became effective May 6, 2024. States will have until March 2032 to attain compliance with the new standard. During the multi-year implementation process, EPA will designate attainment/nonattainment areas by March 6, 2026, and states will submit a SIP to EPA by September 6, 2027. This implementation process also applies to the Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Environmental Health Department who may combine efforts with NMED. However, even before any designations are made, the new standard is effective for conducting required modeling for permit applications and revisions. The lower standard is expected to result in new nonattainment areas throughout the country and could prompt additional PM control requirements, but PNM cannot predict the impacts of the outcome of future rulemaking. The PM standard was challenged in the D.C. Circuit, and, following the change in administration, EPA filed a motion for voluntary vacatur of the rule, which remains pending. Although initial designations were due in February 2026, EPA is expected to seek an extension of that deadline by one year to allow time for the court to rule on the motion for voluntary vacatur.
Cooling Water Intake Structures
In 2014, EPA issued a rule establishing national standards for certain cooling water intake structures at existing power plants and other facilities under the Clean Water Act to protect fish and other aquatic organisms by minimizing impingement mortality (the capture of aquatic wildlife on intake structures or against screens) and entrainment mortality (the capture of fish or shellfish in water flow entering and passing through intake structures).
To minimize impingement mortality, the rule provides operators of facilities, such as Four Corners, seven options for meeting Best Technology Available (“BTA”) standards for reducing impingement. The permitting authority must establish the BTA for entrainment on a site-specific basis, taking into consideration an array of factors, including endangered species and social costs and benefits. Affected sources must submit source water baseline characterization data to the permitting authority to assist in the BTA determination. Compliance deadlines under the rule are tied to permit renewals, including any subject to a schedule of compliance established by the permitting authority in the permit itself.
In 2018, several environmental groups sued EPA Region IX in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit over EPA’s failure to timely reissue the Four Corners NPDES permit. The petitioners asked the court to issue a writ of mandamus compelling EPA Region IX to take final action on the pending NPDES permit by a reasonable date. EPA subsequently reissued the NPDES permit. The permit did not contain conditions related to the cooling water intake structure rule, because EPA determined that the facility had achieved BTA for both impingement and entrainment by operating a closed-cycle recirculation system. Several environmental groups filed a petition for review with EPA’s Environmental Appeals Board (“EAB”) concerning the reissued permit. The environmental groups alleged that the permit was reissued in contravention of the Clean Water Act and did not contain limits or conditions required by EPA’s ELG applicable to Four Corners or EPA’s cooling water intake structures rule, among others. EPA withdrew the Four Corners NPDES permit in order to examine the issues raised by the environmental groups and then issued an updated NPDES permit in 2019. The permit was once again appealed to the EAB and was stayed before the effective date, but the EAB issued an order denying the petition for review on September 30, 2020. Thereafter, the Regional Administrator of the EPA signed a notice of final permit decision, and the NPDES permit was issued on November 9, 2020. The permit became effective December 1, 2020. On January 22, 2021, the environmental groups filed a petition for review of the EAB’s decision with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The September 2019 permit

remained in effect pending the outcome of this appeal. On March 21, 2022, EPA provided notice in the Federal Register of a proposed settlement agreement with the environmental groups. The parties subsequently executed the settlement agreement as of May 2, 2022. Under the settlement, the lawsuit was administratively closed through September 6, 2023, during which time a third-party consultant spent 12 months sampling discharges from Four Corners and EPA spent three months completing an analysis. On December 1, 2023, EPA issued a modification, effective December 31, 2023, to the NPDES permit that had been issued on November 9, 2020. The modification applies to permit elements related to effluent discharge. PNM cannot predict whether the analysis required to be performed by EPA under the settlement agreement will result in further changes to the NPDES permit but does not anticipate that it will have a material impact on PNM’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Effluent Limitation Guidelines
In 2013, EPA published proposed revised wastewater ELG establishing technology-based wastewater discharge limitations for fossil fuel-fired electric power plants. EPA signed the final Steam Electric ELG rule in 2015. The final rule, which became effective on January 4, 2016, phased in the new, more stringent requirements in the form of effluent limits for arsenic, mercury, selenium, and nitrogen for wastewater discharged from wet scrubber systems and zero discharge of pollutants in ash transport water that must be incorporated into plants’ NPDES permits. The 2015 rule required each plant to comply between 2018 and 2023 depending on when it needed a new or revised NPDES permit.
The Steam Electric ELG rule was challenged in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit by numerous parties. In 2017, EPA signed a notice indicating its intent to reconsider portions of the rule, and the Fifth Circuit issued an order severing the issues under reconsideration and holding the case in abeyance as to those issues. However, the court allowed challenges to other portions of the rule to proceed. In 2019, the Fifth Circuit granted those challenges and issued an opinion vacating several portions of the rule, specifically those related to legacy wastewater and leachate, for which the court deemed the standards selected by EPA to be arbitrary and capricious.
In 2017, EPA published a final rule for postponement of certain compliance dates. The rule postponed the earliest date on which compliance with the ELG for regulated waste streams would be required from November 1, 2018 until November 1, 2020. In 2019, EPA published a proposed rule revising the original ELG while maintaining the compliance dates. In 2020, EPA published in the Federal Register the final Steam Electric ELG and Standards for the Steam Electric Power Generating Point Source Category, revising the final 2015 guidelines for both flue gas desulfurization wastewater and bottom ash transport water. The 2020 rule required compliance with new limits as soon as possible on or after October 13, 2021, but no later than December 31, 2025.
In 2021, EPA published notice that it would undertake a supplemental rulemaking to revise the ELG after completing its review of the rules reconsidered in 2020. As part of this process, EPA committed to determine whether more stringent limitations and standards would be appropriate. On March 29, 2023, EPA published the proposed ELG Rule in the Federal Register. The proposed rule included stricter limitations for wastewater discharges for coal-fired facilities but allowed for flexibilities for those coal-powered facilities that would decommission or repower by December 31, 2028, to December 31, 2032.
On May 9, 2024, EPA published a final rule to further revise the ELG. This final supplemental rule updated the technology-based limitations applicable to flue gas desulfurization wastewater, bottom ash transport water, and legacy wastewater at existing sources, as well as combustion residual leachate at new and existing sources. The 2024 rule was challenged in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, but the court denied motions for a stay, so the rule remains in effect. On March 12, 2025, EPA announced it would reconsider the ELGs for the steam electric power generating industry. On October 2, 2025, EPA published proposed and direct final rules for extension of deadlines and other provisions. Comments were due November 3, 2025. On November 28, 2025, EPA withdrew the direct final rule due to adverse comments and on December 31, 2025, published a final rule revising various deadlines and other provisions in the 2024 rule.
Reeves Station discharges cooling tower blowdown to a publicly owned treatment plant and no longer holds an NPDES permit; therefore, it is expected that no ELG requirements will be imposed.
See “Cooling Water Intake Structures” above for additional discussion of Four Corners’ current NPDES permit. Four Corners may be required to change equipment and operating practices affecting boilers and ash handling systems, as well as change its waste disposal techniques during the next NPDES permit renewal. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of these matters or a range of the potential costs of compliance.

Santa Fe Generating Station
PNM and NMED are parties to agreements under which PNM has installed a remediation system to treat water from a City of Santa Fe municipal supply well and an extraction well to address gasoline contamination in the groundwater at the site of PNM’s former Santa Fe Generating Station and service center. A 2008 NMED site inspection report states that neither the source nor extent of contamination at the site has been determined and that the source may not be the former Santa Fe Generating Station. During 2013 and 2014, PNM and NMED collected additional samples that showed elevated concentrations of nitrate and volatile organic compounds in some of the monitoring wells at the site. In addition, one monitoring well contained free-phase hydrocarbon products. PNM collected a sample of the product for “fingerprint” analysis. The results of this analysis indicated the product was a mixture of older and newer fuels. The presence of newer fuels in the sample suggests the hydrocarbon product likely originated from off-site sources. In 2015, PNM and NMED entered into a memorandum of understanding to address changing groundwater conditions at the site under which PNM agreed to continue hydrocarbon investigation under the supervision of NMED. Qualified costs are eligible for payment through the New Mexico Corrective Action Fund (“CAF”), which is administered by the NMED Petroleum Storage Tank Bureau. In 2019, PNM received notice from NMED that an abatement plan for the site is required to address concentrations of previously identified compounds, unrelated to those discussed above, found in the groundwater. NMED approved PNM’s abatement plan proposal, which covers field work and reporting.
Field work related to the investigation under both the CAF and abatement plan requirements was completed and activities and findings associated with the field work were presented in two separate reports and released to stakeholders in early 2020. Subsequent field work was completed in July 2020, and two reports were released supporting PNM’s contention that off-site sources have impacted, and are continuing to impact, the local groundwater in the vicinity of the former Santa Fe Generating Station.
In 2021, NMED approved both the field work plans required for site characterization and associated work activities which were completed by the end of 2022 and a report was submitted to NMED in 2023. Groundwater sampling for the abatement plan’s first semiannual work was completed in 2023, and the associated report was completed and submitted to NMED. In addition, the work plan for the 2023 CAF work was completed and submitted to NMED in July 2023. NMED approved this work plan in December 2023. The activities from the work plan include the installation of three monitoring wells which were completed in December 2024. A report summarizing the well installation is under preparation. Site wide sampling was completed in March 2025, with reports provided to NMED. In November 2025 additional groundwater sampling was initiated and completed in December 2025. A report summarizing the groundwater sampling results is under preparation.
The City of Santa Fe has stopped operating its well at the site, which is needed for PNM’s groundwater remediation system to operate. As a result, PNM has stopped performing remediation activities at the site. However, PNM’s monitoring and other abatement activities at the site are ongoing and will continue until the groundwater meets applicable federal and state standards or until NMED determines that remediation is not required, whichever is earlier. PNM is also in communications with the City of Santa Fe to determine when operations at the site might resume. PNM is not able to assess the duration of this project or estimate the impact on its obligations if PNM is required to resume groundwater remediation activities at the site. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.
Coal Combustion Residuals Waste Disposal
CCRs consisting of fly ash, bottom ash, and gypsum generated from coal combustion and emission control equipment at SJGS have been disposed of in the surface mine pits adjacent to the plant. SJGS does not operate any onsite CCR impoundments or landfills. The NMMMD currently regulates mine reclamation activities at the San Juan mine, including placement of CCRs in the surface mine pits, with federal oversight by the OSM. APS disposes of CCRs in onsite ponds and dry storage areas at Four Corners. Ash management at Four Corners is regulated by EPA and the New Mexico State Engineer’s Office.
EPA’s 2015 coal ash rule included a non-hazardous waste determination for coal ash and sets minimum criteria for existing and new CCR landfills and surface impoundments. In 2016, the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act (the “WIIN Act”) was signed into law to address critical water infrastructure needs in the U.S. and contained a number of provisions related to CCRs. Among other things, the WIIN Act allowed, but did not require, states to develop and submit CCR permit programs for EPA approval, provided flexibility for states to incorporate EPA’s 2015 rule for CCRs or develop other criteria that are at least as protective as EPA’s rule, and required EPA to approve state permit programs within 180 days of submission by the state. Because states are not required to implement their own CCR permit programs, EPA was required to develop a federal permit program in states that chose not to implement a program, subject to congressional funding. Until state or federal permit programs are in effect, the 2015 rule continues to be self-implementing in nature, subject to enforcement by

EPA or citizen groups. For facilities located within the boundaries of Native American reservations, such as the Navajo Nation where Four Corners is located, EPA is required to develop a federal permit program regardless of appropriated funds.
In 2018, EPA published a rule that constitutes “Phase One, Part One” of its ongoing reconsideration and revision of the 2015 CCR rule. The final Phase One, Part One rule extended the deadline to allow EGUs with unlined impoundments or that fail to meet the uppermost aquifer requirement to continue to receive coal ash until October 31, 2020, which was again extended by subsequent amendments. The rule also authorized a “Participating State Director” or EPA to approve suspension of groundwater monitoring requirements and to issue certifications related to the location restrictions, design criteria, groundwater monitoring, remedy selection and implementation. The rule also modified groundwater protection standards for certain constituents, which include cobalt, molybdenum, lithium, and lead without a maximum contamination level.
In 2019, EPA published a second round of proposed revisions, which are commonly referred to as the “Phase Two” revisions, to address reporting and accessibility to public information, “CCR piles” and “beneficial use” definitions, and the requirements for management of CCR piles. EPA reopened and extended the Phase Two comment period several times. To date, EPA has not yet finalized provisions in Phase Two related to beneficial use of CCR and CCR piles.
Since its Phase Two proposal, EPA has finalized three other rules addressing various CCR rule provisions. In 2020, EPA promulgated its proposed Holistic Approach to Closure Part A (“Part A”), which set forth a new deadline of April 11, 2021, for companies to initiate closure of unlined CCR impoundments. In accordance with the DC Circuit’s vacatur of portions of the 2015 CCR Rule, Part A also changed the classification of compacted soil-lined or clay-lined surface impoundments from “lined” to “unlined”, triggering closure or retrofit requirements for those impoundments. In addition, Part A delineated a process for owners/operators to submit requests for alternative closure deadlines.
EPA also issued the Holistic Approach to Closure Part B (“Part B”) in 2020, which delineated the process for owners/operators to submit alternate liner demonstrations for clay-lined surface impoundments that could otherwise meet applicable requirements. This rule did not include beneficial use of CCR for closure, which EPA explained would be addressed in subsequent rulemaking actions. On May 18, 2023, EPA published a proposed rule establishing the regulatory requirements for inactive surface impoundments at inactive facilities and a new category of regulated unit called a CCR management unit (“CCRMU”), including groundwater monitoring, corrective action, closure, and post-closure care requirements for all CCR management units (regardless of how or when that CCR was placed), and several technical corrections to the existing regulations. Comments on the proposed rule were due July 17, 2023.
On May 8, 2024, EPA published a final rule that extended federal CCR regulatory requirements to (1) inactive CCR surface impoundments at inactive utilities and (2) CCRMU (Legacy Rule), including CCR impoundments and landfills that closed prior to the effective date of the 2015 CCR rule, inactive CCR landfills, and other areas where CCR was managed directly on the land. The rule became effective on November 8, 2024. EPA included deferral options for smaller CCRMU containing between one and 1,000 tons of CCR, CCRMU located beneath critical infrastructure or large buildings or structures vital to the continuation of current site activities, and CCRMU that closed prior to the effective date of the new rule (subject to certain eligibility conditions). EPA also codified the controversial definitions of infiltration and liquids that were litigated in the DC Circuit. Six petitions for review of the Legacy Rule were filed and were consolidated into one case by the DC Circuit. The Utility Solid Waste Activities Group, of which TXNM is a member, is a petitioner jointly with the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, and American Public Power Association. The U.S. Supreme Court denied a requested stay of the rule by East Kentucky Power Cooperative. The DC Circuit agreed to hold the case in abeyance pending the outcome of EPA’s reconsideration of the Legacy Rule, with status reports due on March 16, 2026, and at 90-day intervals thereafter. On July 22, 2025, EPA published a final rule and companion proposal revising the compliance deadlines for CCRMU requirements under the Legacy Rule. In September 2025, EPA withdrew the direct final rule due to adverse comments but subsequently issued a final extension rule on February 6, 2026, delaying the deadline to complete the “Facility Evaluation Report Part 1” until February 9, 2027, and extending all subsequent deadlines, as well. The final extension rule was published in the Federal Register on February 10, 2026.
As of the effective date of the Legacy Rule, one CCRMU was identified at SJGS. SJGS is required, at a minimum, to conduct a two-part evaluation of historic and current CCRMUs with reporting due dates of February 9, 2027, and February 8, 2028 (based on the new final extension rule), with each report posted to a company website by the due date.
At this time, PNM is still evaluating the financial impacts of this final regulation for Four Corners. Initial CCRMU site surveys and final site investigation reports are expected to be finalized by February 9, 2027. Based on the information available to the Company at this time, PNM cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of the entire CCRMU ARO. PNM cannot predict

the outcome of the CCRMU site evaluations and investigations, or how these outcomes might affect the associated costs, which might have a material impact on PNM’s operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In 2020, EPA published a proposed rule establishing a federal permitting program for the handling of CCR within the boundaries of Native American reservations and in states without their own federally authorized state programs. Permits for units within the boundaries of Native American reservations would be due 18 months after the effective date of the rule. EPA has not yet finalized the federal permitting program rule. EPA has coordinated with the affected permits for the three facilities with CCR disposal units located on Native American lands. PNM cannot predict the outcome of EPA’s rulemaking activity or the outcome of any related litigation, and whether or how such a ruling would affect operations at Four Corners.
EPA’s CCR rule does not cover mine placement of coal ash. In the preamble to its 2015 rule, EPA explained that the OSM and, as necessary, EPA would address the management of CCR in mine fills in a separate regulatory action, recognizing OSM’s expertise in this area. EPA’s decision to defer to OSM was based on a recommendation from the National Academy of Sciences (“NAS”), which was commissioned by Congress in 2006 to investigate the health, safety and environmental risks associated with the use of CCR for mine reclamation. The NRC report recommended that enforceable federal standards be established for the disposal of CCR in mine fills to ensure that states have specific authority and that states implement adequate safeguards. In 2007, OSM published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking on the placement of CCR at mine sites. In that notice, OSM explained its intent to develop the proposed regulations based on its existing authority under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act. Since 2007, however, OSM has not taken any further action to advance this rulemaking. PNM cannot predict the outcome of OSM’s proposed rulemaking regarding CCR regulation, including mine placement of CCRs, or whether OSM’s actions will have a material impact on PNM’s operations, financial position, or cash flows.
As noted above, SJGS does not operate any onsite CCR impoundments or landfills that are regulated under the 2015 CCR rule, and as of November 8, 2024, identified only one CCRMU that would potentially be regulated under the Legacy Rule. The CCR has since been removed from that unit and PNM will conduct the requisite site investigation reports. PNM would seek recovery from its retail customers of all CCR costs for jurisdictional assets that are ultimately incurred.
Utilities that own or operate CCR disposal units, such as those at Four Corners, as indicated above, were required to collect sufficient groundwater sampling data to initiate a detection monitoring program. Four Corners completed the analysis for its CCR disposal units, which identified several units that needed corrective action or needed to cease operations and initiate closure by April 11, 2021. Work is ongoing. Four Corners continues to gather additional groundwater data and perform remedial evaluations and activities. At this time, PNM does not anticipate its share of the cost to complete these corrective actions to close the CCR disposal units, or to gather and perform remedial evaluations on groundwater at Four Corners, will have a significant impact on its operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
Coal Supply
Four Corners
APS purchases all of Four Corners’ coal requirements from NTEC, an entity owned by the Navajo Nation, under the Four Corners CSA that expires in 2031. The coal comes from reserves located within the Navajo Nation. The contract provides for pricing adjustments over its term based on economic indices and certain minimum payments that may be required if no deliveries of coal are taken. As of December 31, 2025, those minimum payments were $41.1 million for 2026, $85.7 million for 2027 and 2028, $91.0 million for 2029 and 2030, and $24.5 million for 2031. PNM’s share of the coal costs is being recovered through the FPPAC.
Coal Mine Reclamation
As indicated under Coal Combustion Residuals Waste Disposal above, SJGS disposed of CCRs in the surface mine pits adjacent to the plant and Four Corners disposes of CCRs in ponds and dry storage areas.
Under the terms of the SJGS CSA, PNM and the other SJGS owners are obligated to compensate WSJ LLC for all reclamation costs associated with the supply of coal from the San Juan mine. PNM and Westmoreland have entered into an agreement under which mine reclamation services for SJGS would be provided. A mine reclamation cost study was completed in the first quarter of 2024 and PNM remeasured its liability, which resulted in an increase in overall reclamation costs of $20.9 million, due primarily to higher inflationary factors. As a result, PNM recorded the increase in the liability related to the underground mine of $17.0 million as a regulatory asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Due to the NMPRC cap on the

amount that can be collected from retail customers for final reclamation of the surface mines at $100.0 million, PNM was required to record $4.0 million of the increase related to the surface mine liability plus an additional $0.5 million, related to other costs, as a regulatory disallowance on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2024. In the third quarter of 2024, PNM and Westmoreland amended the mine reclamation services agreement to update the base rates for the costs of reclamation activities, which resulted in an increase in overall reclamation costs of $12.1 million. As a result, PNM recorded the increase in the liability related to the underground mine of $6.0 million as regulatory assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the increase of $6.1 million related to the surface mine as a regulatory disallowance on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In 2025, PNM and Westmoreland amended the mine reclamation services agreement to update the capital recovery charges due in each year from 2025 through 2028, which resulted in an increase in overall reclamation costs. As a result, PNM recorded increases in the liabilities related to the underground mine of $0.2 million and the surface mine of $0.2 million. PNM recorded the increase in the liability related to the underground mine as a regulatory asset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2025. PNM recorded the increase related to the surface mine liability as a regulatory disallowance on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2025.
PNM’s estimate of the costs necessary to reclaim the mine that serves SJGS is subject to many assumptions, including the timing of reclamation, generally accepted practices at the time reclamation activities occur, and current inflation and discount rates. PNM cannot predict the ultimate cost to reclaim the mine that serves SJGS and would seek to recover all costs related to reclaiming the underground mine from its customers but could be exposed to additional loss related to surface mine reclamation. In connection with certain mining permits relating to the operation of the San Juan mine, Westmoreland was required to post reclamation bonds of $118.7 million with the NMMMD. In order to facilitate the posting of reclamation bonds by sureties on behalf of Westmoreland, TXNM entered into the WFB LOC Facility under which letters of credit aggregating $19.3 million are outstanding as of December 31, 2025.
A coal mine reclamation study for the surface mine that serves Four Corners was completed in December 2024. The study reflected operation of the mine through 2031, the term of the Four Corners CSA. PNM remeasured its liability, which resulted in a decrease in overall reclamation costs of $1.6 million, due primarily to lower overhead costs, contractor management costs, and taxes and royalties. Due to the NMPRC cap on the amount that can be collected from retail customers for final reclamation of the surface mines at $100.0 million, PNM recorded the decrease related to the surface mine liability as a reduction in regulatory disallowance on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2024. In 2025, APS provided an update to the cumulative MMBTU consumption for Four Corners for the purpose of allocating final mine reclamation costs. Based on the consumption outlook, PNM’s forecasted share of final reclamation costs was reduced from 9.755% to 9.096%. As a result, PNM recorded a decrease in the liability related to the surface mine of $0.9 million on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2025. This decrease is also recorded as a $0.9 million reduction in regulatory disallowance on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Based on the most recent estimates, PNM’s remaining payments for mine reclamation, in future dollars, are estimated to be $30.6 million for the surface mines at both SJGS and Four Corners and $63.1 million for the underground mine at SJGS as of December 31, 2025. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, liabilities, in current dollars, of $20.8 million and $38.3 million for surface mine reclamation and $55.2 million and $52.9 million for underground mine reclamation were recorded in other deferred credits.
The SJGS owners are parties to a reclamation trust funds agreement to provide financial assurance for post-term coal mine reclamation obligations. The trust funds agreement requires each owner to enter into an individual trust agreement with a financial institution as trustee, create an irrevocable reclamation trust, and meet year-end funding targets set by funding curves that are approved by the SJGS ownership. PNM began using its mine reclamation trust to pay for final mine reclamation costs in April 2023. Because the trust agreement requires meeting specific funding targets at year end, it may be necessary for PNM to make additional contributions to meet those targets. PNM funded $7.0 million in 2025, $27.3 million in 2024, and $2.7 million in 2023. Based on PNM’s reclamation trust fund balance at December 31, 2025, current forecasts, and current funding curve targets, PNM does not anticipate making any contributions in 2026 or 2027.
Under the Four Corners CSA, PNM is required to fund its share of estimated final reclamation costs in annual installments into an irrevocable escrow account solely dedicated to the final reclamation cost of the surface mine at Four Corners. PNM did not make any contributions to the escrow account in 2025. PNM funded $3.2 million in 2024 and $0.2 million in 2023 and anticipates providing additional funding of $0.5 million in 2026 and $0.5 million in 2027.
PNM recovers from retail customers’ reclamation costs associated with the underground mine. However, the NMPRC capped the amount collected from retail customers for final reclamation of the surface mines at $100.0 million for both SJGS

and Four Corners. If future estimates increase the liability for surface mine reclamation, the excess would be expensed at that time. The impacts of changes in New Mexico state law as a result of the enactment of the ETA and regulatory determinations made by the NMPRC may also affect PNM’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. See additional discussion regarding PNM’s SJGS and Four Corners Abandonment Applications in Note 17. PNM is currently unable to determine the outcome of these matters.
SJGS Decommissioning
On November 9, 2021, the San Juan County Commission approved the Coal-Fired Electricity Generating Facility Demolition and Remediation Ordinance (“Ordinance 121”), requiring the full demolition of SJGS upon its complete and permanent closure. Ordinance 121 required the SJGS owners to submit a proposed demolition and remediation plan no later than three months after SJGS was retired. The SJGS owners submitted the decommissioning and remediation plan on December 28, 2022. In connection with restructuring of the SJGS ownership on December 31, 2017, PNM and the other SJGS owners entered into the San Juan Decommissioning and Trust Funds Agreement, which requires PNM to fund its ownership share of final decommissioning costs into an irrevocable trust. Under the agreement, PNM made an initial funding of $14.7 million in December 2022 and made additional contribution of $7.0 million in 2024 and $4.7 million in 2025. The amount and timing of additional trust funding is subject to revised decommissioning cost studies and agreement among the SJGS owners. PNM began using its decommissioning trust to pay for demolition and decommissioning costs in October 2023. PNM has posted a surety bond in the amount of $46.0 million in connection with certain environmental decommissioning obligations and must maintain the bond or other financial assurance until those obligations are satisfied. The surety bond only represents a liability if the SJGS owners fail to deliver on its contractual liability.
PNM records its share of the SJGS decommissioning obligation as an ARO on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. Studies on the decommissioning costs of SJGS are performed periodically and revisions to the ARO liability are recorded. In the third quarter of 2022, a new decommissioning cost study was completed, which required PNM to remeasure its SJGS decommissioning ARO. The new study resulted in an estimated decrease to PNM’s share of the decommissioning obligation of $21.1 million, which was recorded in September 2022.
On July 29, 2025, PNM received a letter from the NMED indicating that the NMED designated PNM as a responsible party and requiring a Stage 1 Abatement Plan (“S1AP”) proposal for SJGS for groundwater and soil contamination associated with former operations at SJGS. On November 26, 2025, PNM submitted the S1AP to NMED that was approved on February 9, 2026. The S1AP estimates site investigation and monitoring to be completed by the first quarter of 2027. PNM is currently unable to determine the outcome of this matter.
PVNGS Liability and Insurance Matters
Public liability for incidents at nuclear power plants is governed by the Price-Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act, which limits the liability of nuclear reactor owners to the amount of insurance available from both commercial sources and an industry-wide retrospective payment plan. The insurance limit is subject to an adjustment every five years based upon the aggregate percentage change in the Consumer Price Index. The most recent adjustment took effect on January 1, 2024. As of that date, in accordance with this act, the PVNGS participants are insured against public liability exposure for a nuclear incident up to $16.3 billion per occurrence. PVNGS maintains the maximum available nuclear liability insurance in the amount of $500 million, which is provided by American Nuclear Insurers. The remaining $15.8 billion is provided through a mandatory industry-wide retrospective assessment program. If losses at any nuclear power plant covered by the program exceed the accumulated funds, PNM could be assessed retrospective premium adjustments. The maximum retrospective premium per reactor under the program for each nuclear liability incident is $165.9 million, subject to a maximum annual premium of $24.7 million per incident. Based on PNM’s ownership interest in the three units, PNM’s maximum retrospective premium per incident for all three units is $36.3 million, with a maximum annual payment limitation of $5.4 million, to be adjusted periodically for inflation.
The PVNGS participants maintain insurance for damage to and decontamination of, property at PVNGS in the aggregate amount of $2.8 billion, a substantial portion of which must first be applied to stabilization and decontamination. These coverages are provided by Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (“NEIL”). The primary policy offered by NEIL contains a sublimit of $2.25 billion for non-nuclear property damage. If NEIL’s losses in any policy year exceed accumulated funds, PNM is subject to retrospective premium adjustments of $5.3 million. The insurance coverages discussed in this, and the previous paragraph are subject to certain policy conditions, sublimits, and exclusions.

(17) Regulatory and Rate Matters
The Company is involved in various regulatory matters, some of which contain contingencies that are subject to the same uncertainties as those described in Note 16.
TXNM
Merger Proceedings
On August 25, 2025, TXNM filed applications for approval of its proposed Merger with Blackstone Infrastructure (Note 22) with the NMPRC, PUCT, and FERC. In addition to strong governance and oversight provisions, the applications include the following benefits for PNM and TNMP’s customers:
Application to the NMPRC
•$105.0 million in retail rate credits to be paid over four years
•$10.0 million in additional contributions to the PNM Good Neighbor Fund to be paid over 10 years
•$35.0 million in economic development funding to be paid over 10 years
•$25.0 million commitment to innovative technologies to support New Mexico’s transition to carbon-free energy
•PNM’s continued strong community involvement and charitable giving
The NMPRC does not have a statutory timeframe for consideration of the application. On December 5, 2025, the deadline for intervention passed with 19 parties intervening in the matter. A hearing has been scheduled for May 4-15, 2026.
On February 6, 2026, a motion and brief for order was filed, directing the applicants to show cause and for other relief in the pending application with the NMPRC. The motion alleges that the purchase of $400.0 million of TXNM common stock (Note 7) violated Section 62-6-12 of the Public Utility Act because PNM did not receive prior approval of the purchase from the NMPRC. TXNM and PNM believe that the allegations in the motion do not constitute a violation of the Public Utility Act and filed responses in opposition to the motion on February 18, 2026. PNM cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
Application to the PUCT
•Rate credits of $35.0 million to be paid over four years
•$10.0 million in economic development funding to be paid over 10 years
•$5.0 million in additional community support over 10 years to enhance charitable giving
On December 11, 2025, TXNM and Blackstone Infrastructure reached a unanimous settlement with parties in its Merger proceeding filed with the PUCT. Terms of the settlement include additional financial oversight, corporate governance and regulatory protections that favor local communities and the current workforce. Additionally, the settlement removed the $10.0 million in economic development and the $5.0 million in charitable giving and increased the rate credits from $35.0 million to $45.5 million to be paid over four years. The settlement was approved by the PUCT on February 6, 2026.
Application to the FERC
On October 24, 2025, a protest was filed arguing that the proposed Merger posed significant risk of unlawful cross-subsidization, especially benefitting Blackstone Infrastructure’s data centers and energy affiliates, and could harm competition, rates, and regulatory oversight. On November 10, 2025, TXNM and Blackstone Infrastructure filed a response contesting the arguments made in the protest. On December 23, 2025, FERC issued a deficiency letter requesting additional information on any ring-fencing provisions or regulations in place to protect customers from inappropriate cross-subsidization. On January 13, 2026, a response was submitted detailing the extensive ring-fencing provisions in place and relevant regulations set by the NMPRC and the PUCT.
On February 20, 2026, FERC approved the proposed Merger concluding that there is no adverse effect on competition, no adverse rate impacts, and no regulatory gap. FERC rejected claims related to data centers, private equity ownership, and speculative cross-subsidization relying on existing state ring-fencing protections in New Mexico and Texas.

PNM
New Mexico General Rate Case
2025 Rate Request
On June 14, 2024, PNM filed an application with the NMPRC for a general increase in retail electric rates. The proposed base rate changes would be implemented in two phases, with the first phase effective July 1, 2025, and the second phase effective January 1, 2026. Key aspects of PNM’s request include:
•Recovery on total rate base of $3.0 billion, based on a FTY with the 12 months ending June 30, 2026
•An increase of $174.3 million in retail revenues, comprised of a $92.2 million increase in base rates and a $82.1 million increase in revenues collected under PNM’s FPPAC
•Drivers of revenue deficiency:
◦Needed investments across distribution, transmission, and generation facilities to ensure safe, reliable delivery of electricity
◦Increased operations and maintenance expenses to meet operational needs, including wildfire risk mitigation
◦Costs associated with ESAs, previously approved by the NMPRC, necessary to serve our customers
◦ROE of 10.45%
◦Proposed capital structure of 52.5% equity
◦An increased cost of borrowing
◦Adjustments to Four Corners depreciation rates to recover remaining plant investments through July 2031, the expected abandonment date of the facility
•Proposed ratemaking treatment of ESAs to be recovered through PNM’s FPPAC which began July 1, 2025
On November 26, 2024, PNM filed an unopposed comprehensive stipulation with the NMPRC. Key components agreed upon by the signatories are as follows:
•Overall revenue requirement increase of $105.0 million with the first phase effective July 1, 2025, and the second phase effective April 1, 2026
•ROE of 9.45%
•Capital structure of 51.0% equity
•Maintain currently approved depreciation rates for Four Corners as established in PNM’s 2024 Rate Change and PNM’s NM 2015 Rate Case
•Modification of PNM’s current amortization period through December 31, 2028, on the unprotected Excess Deferred Federal Income Taxes (“EDFIT”) regulatory liability to reflect amortization of remaining unprotected EDFIT through December 31, 2027
•Costs associated with ESAs shall be recovered through base rates
◦PNM will establish a regulatory asset or regulatory liability for the difference in actual ESA costs compared to the forecasted $82.1 million included in base rates in the test period and thereafter until new rates are effective from PNM’s next general rate case filing. The regulatory asset or regulatory liability will be subject to NMPRC approval in PNM’s next rate case
•PNM will establish a regulatory liability associated with investment tax credits for the Sandia energy storage system as proposed in its application
•PNM will establish a regulatory liability equal to the return on legacy meters currently included in rates, as the legacy meters are retired during PNM’s deployment of its approved Grid Modernization Plan
•PNM will make a one-time shareholder contribution of $1.5 million to the Good Neighbor Fund
A hearing was held on February 17 and 18, 2025. On April 8, 2025, the hearing examiners issued a certification of stipulation recommending approval of the unopposed stipulation and on May 15, 2025, the NMPRC issued a final order adopting the unopposed stipulation. This matter is now concluded.
2024 Rate Change
On December 5, 2022, PNM filed an application with the NMPRC for a general increase in retail electric rates including recovery on total rate base of $2.7 billion based on a calendar year 2024 FTY, an increase of $63.8 million in retail non-fuel revenues, and an ROE 10.25%. The application also proposed ratemaking treatment of PVNGS Leased Interest and testimony supporting the prudence of PNM’s decisions to renew the five leases and repurchase 64.1 MW of PVNGS Unit 2 capacity.

On January 3, 2024, the NMPRC issued a final order authorizing PNM to implement an increase in non-fuel base rates of $15.3 million, effective for service beginning January 15, 2024. The final order included:
•A ROE of 9.26%
•A capital structure of 49.61% equity, 50.10% debt, and 0.29% preferred stock
•Finding of imprudence regarding PNM’s decision to remain in Four Corners and a remedy for the imprudence resulting in a disallowance of $81.0 million to PNM’s total Four Corners net book value
•Approval of $51.3 million of PNM’s requested $96.3 million regulatory asset for PVNGS undepreciated investments, but disallowance of a return on the remaining $45.0 million or any CWIP associated with it
•Requiring that the $38.4 million regulatory liability associated with leased capacity at PVNGS after the Unit 1 lease expired on January 15, 2023, be returned to ratepayers over two years through a separate rate rider
•The approval of new depreciation rates, reflecting shorter useful lives, of PNM’s gas plants with service lives and depreciable lives extending beyond January 1, 2045, which would include PNM’s La Luz and Luna generating stations
•The approval of PNM’s TOD pilot program, with a requirement to make annual compliance filings and to adjust certain rate schedules
As a result of the final order, PNM recorded a regulatory disallowance of $55.5 million on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and a corresponding reduction to Utility Plant in the year ended December 31, 2023, after accounting for previous impairments, to reflect the remedy adopted in the Final Order for Four Corners. In addition, PNM had recorded a reduction to electric operating revenues of $38.4 million with a corresponding increase to current regulatory liability of $19.2 million and deferred regulatory liability of $19.2 million for the PVNGS rate refunds that are being returned to customers over a two-year period ending March 2026. PNM had also recorded a regulatory disallowance of $8.2 million and a corresponding reduction to Utility Plant for the disallowance of CWIP from PVNGS.
In March 2024, notice of appeals were separately filed with the NM Supreme Court by NEE and PNM, and a joint notice of appeal was filed by the NM Department of Justice, Bernalillo County, and ABCWUA. NEE’s appeal was subsequently consolidated with the joint notice of appeal. In the statements of issues submitted in the parties’ appellate dockets, PNM took issue with the NMPRC’s ruling on capital structure; other appellants primarily challenged the NMPRC rulings related to Four Corners and Palo Verde cost recovery. On June 20, 2025, PNM filed an uncontested motion to dismiss its appeal. The NM Supreme Court granted PNM’s uncontested motion to dismiss its appeal, and on September 25, 2025, issued a ruling rejecting the consolidated appeal and upholding the NMPRC’s final order. This matter is now concluded.
Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard
As discussed in Note 16, the ETA amends the REA including removal of diversity requirements and certain customer caps and exemptions relating to the application of the RPS under the REA. The REA provides for streamlined proceedings for approval of utilities’ renewable energy procurement plans, assures that utilities recover costs incurred consistent with approved procurement plans, and requires the NMPRC to establish a Reasonable Cost Threshold (“RCT”) for the procurement of renewable resources to prevent excessive costs being added to rates. The ETA sets a RCT of $60 per MWh, adjusted for inflation, using an average annual levelized resource cost basis. PNM makes renewable procurements consistent with the NMPRC approved plans and recovers certain renewable procurement costs from customers through the renewable energy rider billed on a KWh basis.
The following sets forth PNM’s revenues recorded for the renewable energy rider:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Effective date | | Proposed Revenue Collection | | Annual Revenues Recorded |
| | (In millions) |
January 1, 2023 | | $61.0 | | $56.9 |
January 1, 2024 | | 59.0 | | 52.0 |
January 1, 2025 | | 58.7 | | 57.7 |
Under the renewable rider, if PNM’s earned rate of return on jurisdictional equity in a calendar year, adjusted for items not representative of normal operations, exceeds the NMPRC-approved rate by 0.5%, PNM is required to refund the excess to customers during May through December of the following year. PNM did not exceed such limitation in 2024 and does not expect to exceed the limitation in 2025. On May 30, 2025, PNM filed its application for its 2026 renewable energy procurement plan, requesting to collect $54.3 million for the year. On September 25, 2025, the Hearing Examiners issued an

RD recommending approval of PNM’s application with no significant modifications and on October 30, 2025, the NMPRC issued a Final Order approving the application as filed.
Energy Efficiency and Load Management
Program Costs and Incentives/Disincentives
The EUEA requires public utilities to achieve specified levels of energy savings and to obtain NMPRC approval to implement energy efficiency and load management programs. The EUEA also requires the NMPRC to remove utility disincentives to implementing energy efficiency and load management programs and to provide incentives for such programs. The EUEA was amended to, among other things, include a decoupling mechanism for disincentives, preclude a reduction to a utility’s ROE based on approval of disincentive or incentive mechanisms, establish energy savings targets for the period 2021 through 2025, and require that annual program funding be 3% to 5% of an electric utility’s annual customer bills excluding gross receipt taxes, franchise and right-of-way access fees, provided that a customer’s annual cost does not exceed seventy-five thousand dollars.
In 2020, PNM received approval for energy efficiency and load management programs to be offered in 2021, 2022, and 2023. The program included an annual base incentive of 7.1% of the portfolio budget if PNM were to achieve energy savings of at least 80 GWh in a year. The incentive increases if PNM is able to achieve savings greater than 94 GWh in a year.

In 2024, PNM received approval for energy efficiency and load management programs to be offered in 2024, 2025, and 2026 (the “2024 Plan”). The 2024 Plan proposed to continue ten existing energy efficiency programs with modifications and an annual base incentive of 7.1% of the portfolio budget and a sliding scale that provides additional incentive for additional energy saved as a percentage of program cost, up to the maximum allowed by the energy efficiency rule which for PNM is 8.82%.

On December 18, 2025, the NMPRC approved PNM’s motion requesting an increase to the previously approved 2025 annual budget of approximately 10% to $38.9 million.
Integrated Resource Plans
NMPRC rules require that investor-owned utilities file an IRP every three years that covers a 20-year planning period and contains an action plan covering the first three years of that period. The IRP establishes a collaborative facilitated process for a utility and stakeholders to agree on a statement of need for potential new or additional resources, as well as an action plan to guide procurement or development of resources to meet the stated need. A most-cost-effective portfolio of resources shall be derived from the statement of need analysis. The statement of need and action plan must be accepted before the utility begins the resource solicitation process pursuant to the IRP Rule. Following acceptance of the statement of need and action plan, a utility will provide the NMPRC and intervenors drafts of the RFP and a timeline for issuing, receiving, evaluating, and ranking bids. The NMPRC will then appoint an Independent Monitor (“IM”) to oversee the RFP process, which allows for parties and the IM to comment on the RFP consistency with the IRP, after which the utility issues the RFP. Within 120 days of receiving bids the utility shall provide the IM with results including pricing and non-price evaluation criteria, ranking of bids, chosen portfolio and alternatives that also meet the needs; the IM then rules on the fairness of the RFP execution. Acceptance of the statement of need and action plan will not constitute a finding of prudency or pre-approval of costs associated with the additional resources. Following the RFP and IM processes, the utility may apply for approvals, and any costs incurred to implement the action plan will be considered in a general rate case and/or resource acquisition proceeding.

2023 IRP
On December 15, 2023, PNM filed its 2023 IRP with a continued focus on a carbon-free energy system by 2040. The plan highlighted the need for the sustained addition of significant resources over the next two decades, replacing retiring or expiring capacity, meeting concurrent load growth, while reducing the carbon intensity of PNM’s portfolio. On April 4, 2024, the NMPRC accepted PNM’s 2023 IRP.
On December 30, 2024, PNM issued its 2029-2032 RFP for at least 900 MW of new energy resources to come online between 2029 and 2032, with at least 500 MW needed by 2030. The RFP is consistent with the needs identified in PNM’s 2023 IRP, which identified a range of 900 to 2,900 MW of new capacity needed by 2032, depending on the type of resources selected. The 2029-2032 RFP is anticipated to identify potential replacement resources for PNM’s current natural gas generation capacity as well as PNM’s ownership interest in Four Corners. On January 2, 2026, PNM filed a Notice of Material Event for the 2023 IRP to inform the NMPRC of its intent to issue a supplemental RFP for gas-fired resources in response to new customer requirements that have accelerated and increased energy demands beyond previously forecasted resources. On February 4, 2026, the IM appointed to the 2029-2032 RFP concluded that PNM appropriately evaluated the bids, made reasonable portfolio selection decisions, and overall, the RFP process was conducted in a fair, transparent manner that was in compliance with regulatory requirements.
Abandonment Applications made under the ETA
As discussed in Note 16, the ETA provides for a transition from fossil-fueled generating resources to renewable and carbon-free resources by allowing utilities to issue energy transition bonds related to the retirement of certain coal-fired generating facilities, to qualified investors.
SJGS Abandonment Application
In 2019, PNM filed a Consolidated Application for the Abandonment and Replacement of SJGS and Related Securitized Financing Pursuant to the ETA. In 2023, PNM, along with intervening parties, reached a unanimous settlement which was approved by the NMPRC. As a result, PNM recorded a $128.7 million reduction to electric operating revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and a corresponding current regulatory liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. In addition, PNM recorded a regulatory disallowance of $3.3 million on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and a corresponding decrease to deferred regulatory assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, to reflect PNM’s agreement to withdraw its request for regulatory assets associated with prefunding of ETA state administered funds and legal costs associated with this matter.
Four Corners Abandonment Application
In 2020, PNM entered into the Four Corners Purchase and Sale Agreement with NTEC, pursuant to which PNM agreed to sell its 13% ownership interest (other than certain transmission assets) in Four Corners to NTEC, contingent upon NMPRC approval. In connection with the sale, PNM would make payments of $75.0 million to NTEC for relief from its obligations under the coal supply agreement for Four Corners after December 31, 2024. PNM made an initial payment to NTEC of $15.0 million in November 2020, subject to refund with interest upon termination of the Four Corners Purchase and Sale Agreement prior to closing. Under the terms of the Four Corners Purchase and Sale Agreement, upon receipt of the NMPRC approval, PNM was expected to make a final payment of $60.0 million.
On January 8, 2021, PNM filed the Four Corners Abandonment Application, which sought NMPRC approval to exit PNM’s share of Four Corners as of December 31, 2024, and issuance of approximately $300 million of Securitized Bonds as provided by the ETA. On December 15, 2021, the NMPRC issued a final order denying approval of the Four Corners Abandonment Application and the corresponding request for issuance of securitized financing. On December 22, 2021, PNM filed a Notice of Appeal with the NM Supreme Court of the NMPRC decision to deny the application and on July 6, 2023, the NM Supreme Court affirmed the NMPRC decision concluding that the NMPRC reasonably and lawfully denied PNM’s application for abandonment. As a result of the NM Supreme Court's decision to uphold the NMPRC's denial, the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2023, reflect a regulatory disallowance of $3.7 million. On April 23, 2024, PNM filed an interim notice informing the NMPRC that PNM’s updated analysis indicates it is in the interest of customers for PNM to remain as a participant in Four Corners until the expiration of the current coal supply agreement in 2031. In August 2024, PNM and NTEC terminated the Four Corners Purchase and Sale Agreement and executed an agreement for the reimbursement of PNM’s initial $15.0 million payment with interest, which was paid in 2024.

•A 167 MW PPA for the Valencia power plant through 2039
•A CCN for a 100 MW solar facility and a 30 MW battery to be PNM-owned and located in San Juan County; the request provides the opportunity to increase the 30 MW battery by an additional 20 MW
On March 12, 2025, PNM and intervening parties filed an unopposed comprehensive stipulation with the NMPRC. The stipulation supports approval of PNM’s application, including the proposed option to increase the 30 MW battery by an additional 20 MW. On May 6, 2025, the hearing examiners issued a certification of stipulation recommending approval of the unopposed stipulation and on June 26, 2025, the NMPRC approved the unopposed stipulation. This matter is now concluded.
Grid Modernization Plan
In October 2022, in compliance with New Mexico Grid Modernization Statute, PNM filed its Grid Modernization Plan with the NMPRC. The projects included in the application improve customers’ ability to customize their use of energy and ensure that customers, including low-income customers, are a top priority and will benefit consistent with the Grid Modernization Statute. PNM’s proposal to modernize its electricity grid through infrastructure and technology improvements also increases the efficiency, reliability, resilience, and security of PNM’s electric system. PNM’s application included grid modernization investments of approximately $344 million for the first six years of a broader 11-year strategy. The approved rate rider will recover capital costs, operating expenses, and taxes associated with the investments included in the Grid Modernization Plan. On October 17, 2024, the NMPRC issued a final order largely approving PNM’s Grid Modernization Plan with minor modifications.
On June 20, 2025, PNM filed its first annual Grid Modernization Plan Review to provide updates on year one implementation progress and outline planned activities for year two, in alignment with regulatory expectations. Additionally, PNM has updated key portions of the forecasted strategy including increasing investments from approximately $344 million to $367 million in the first six years, while decreasing projected operations and maintenance costs by approximately 18%. On February 26, 2026, the NMPRC approved PNM’s first annual Grid Modernization Review and the updated year two revenue requirement. This matter is now concluded.
FERC Order 864
In November 2019, FERC issued Order No. 864, which required public utility transmission providers with transmission formula rates to revise those rates to account for changes resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”). PNM has already made revisions to its formula rate to account for Tax Act changes, and, as a result of the Order, PNM proposed additional changes to its formula rate to implement the remaining requirements of the Order. In July 2022, FERC issued an order finding that PNM had predominantly complied with the requirements but set aside certain matters for settlement and hearing procedures.
On November 22, 2023, PNM, on behalf of the settling parties, filed a settlement agreement with FERC resolving all issues. As a result of the settlement agreement, PNM recorded a decrease of $3.2 million to electric operating revenues and an increase to interest charges of $0.3 million on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and an increase to other current liabilities of $3.5 million on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. This matter is now concluded.
EDAM
PNM participates in the EIM, a real-time wholesale energy trading market operated by the CAISO, that enables participating electric utilities to buy and sell energy. EDAM is a voluntary day-ahead regional market that expands on CAISO’s EIM market, which PNM plans on joining in the fall of 2027. On August 22, 2025, PNM filed an application with the NMPRC requesting approval to create a regulatory asset for the costs associated with joining the EDAM, which was approved in an accounting order issued on October 16, 2025. PNM expects to seek recovery of these costs in a future rate case.

Periodic Distribution Rate Adjustment
PUCT rules permit interim rate adjustments to reflect changes in investments in distribution assets. Historically, distribution utilities have been restricted to a single, annual periodic rate adjustment through a DCRF submitted between April 1 and April 8 of each year as long as the electric utility was not earning more than its authorized rate of return using weather-normalized data. However, the recent passage of Senate Bill 1015 now permits DCRF proceedings to be filed twice per year with a 60-day administrative deadline that can be extended for 15 days on good cause. Additionally, a DCRF may be filed during a pending rate case proceeding as long as that DCRF request is not filed until the 185th day after the rate case proceeding was initiated.

HB 5247
On June 20, 2025, Texas House Bill 5247 (“HB 5247”) was signed into law by Governor Gregg Abbott. HB 5247, which took effect immediately, added Section 36.216 to the Public Regulatory Act (“PURA 36.216”), authorizing certain electric utilities with total capital expenditures that exceeded 300 percent of annual depreciation in a calendar year, to elect, in the following calendar year, to file a single, annual proceeding to adjust nonfuel rates on a system-wide basis to reflect changes in transmission and distribution rates previously authorized under certain other interim rate mechanisms. A utility seeking to make this election under PURA 36.216 is required to file a notice with the PUCT informing them of its intent and provide supporting documentation of the applicable capital expenditures at least 60 days before filing the single, annual proceeding and correspondingly must notify the PUCT if the utility determines that it no longer qualifies for continued use of the election. Management has evaluated the application of HB 5247 and PURA 36.216 and determined that TNMP qualifies as the type of electric utility that would be eligible for the election. Upon completion of its general rate proceeding discussed above, TNMP expects to make its first comprehensive filing under Section 36.216 with a view towards recovering costs associated with eligible transmission and distribution investments that were placed into service after December 31, 2024, and that are not currently reflected in rates. In the interim, TNMP is recognizing a regulatory asset for costs associated with eligible transmission and distribution capital investments and is offsetting depreciation, property tax expense, and carrying costs within alternative revenue. At December 31, 2025 the regulatory asset associated with these costs totaled $17.5 million.
3G Meters Notice of Violation
In 2020, the PUCT established the COVID-19 Electricity Relief Program for electric utilities, REPs, and customers impacted by COVID-19. The program allowed providers to implement a rider to collect unpaid residential retail customer bills and to establish a regulatory asset for costs related to COVID-19. These costs included but were not limited to costs related to unpaid accounts.
In December 2023, TNMP and the PUCT reached a settlement agreement related to a notice of violation against TNMP primarily for estimating 3G meters during the period that TNMP was remediating the meters. TNMP maintained that the remediation efforts were impacted by supply chain and labor availability issues resulting from COVID-19. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, TNMP agreed to no longer pursue the recovery of COVID-19 related costs that were recorded as a regulatory asset. This resulted in a regulatory disallowance of $1.2 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Hurricane Beryl
On July 8, 2024, Hurricane Beryl made landfall in the Texas Gulf Coast leaving approximately 116,000 customers in the TNMP service area without power. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, TNMP had incurred $54.0 million and $53.1 million of costs, of which $33.5 million and $32.1 million had been recorded in Utility Plant and $20.5 million and $21.0 million had been recorded as a Regulatory Asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs were included in the TNMP Base Rate Review filed on November 14, 2025.
System Resiliency Plan (“SRP”)
In 2023, the Texas Legislature enacted House Bill No, 2555 (“HB 2555”), permitting an electric utility to seek approval of, and cost recovery for, a system resiliency plan. On August 28, 2024, TNMP filed its first SRP with the PUCT designed to benefit customers through enhanced resiliency of its distribution system, as intended under HB 2555. The SRP includes approximately $600 million of capital investments and approximately $151 million of other related costs over three years and was developed using a comprehensive and data-driven approach which evaluated various types of resiliency events posing material risk to the safe and reliable operation of TNMP's distribution system. TNMP's service territory includes non-contiguous areas across different regions of Texas, ranging from small communities and rural areas to communities around large metropolitan areas, each with unique risks. Investments in the SRP are prioritized based on customer benefit, physical protection of infrastructure, foundational investments in operational and cybersecurity technologies, and wildfire risk reduction and are focused on lower-performing areas in the context of reliability. Eight different resiliency measures are outlined in the SRP with associated programs and infrastructure impacts to improve the system's ability to prevent, withstand, mitigate and/or more promptly recover from resiliency events: distribution system resiliency, distribution system protection modernization, vegetation management, wildfire mitigation, flood mitigation, enhanced operations system technology, cybersecurity, and physical security resiliency. Recovery of investments and costs are permissible primarily through semi-annual DCRF filings, with deferral of depreciation and other certain expenses until recovery begins.

December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023
On December 11, 2024, TNMP filed an unopposed settlement with the PUCT. The settlement includes $565.8 million of capital investments over 2025 through 2027, reflecting 94% of TNMP’s proposed plan investments. The settlement also encompasses $128.2 million of operations and maintenance expenses associated with several programs, including vegetation management and wildfire mitigation. On March 26, 2025, TNMP received the final order from the PUCT which included modifications reflecting capital investments of $545.8 million and $86.1 million of operating and maintenance costs. As of December 31, 2025, TNMP incurred $10.3 million of operating and maintenance costs, all of which have been recorded as a Regulatory Asset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. TNMP will seek collection of such costs in a future regulatory proceeding.
Sales and Use Tax Refund
On March 12, 2025, TNMP filed a refund claim with the Texas Comptroller’s office for overpaid sales and use taxes primarily related to asset purchases. The $34.6 million refund claim covers periods from January 2022 to October 2024 and amounts received, net of consultant fees, are expected to be applied to 2025 TNMP capital projects. On September 22, 2025, TNMP received the requested refund net of $7.5 million in consultant fees; $24.7 million was applied to 2025 TNMP capital projects; $2.1 million to offset related interest expense; and $0.3 million for other related expenses.
(18)Income Taxes
Federal Income Tax Reform
In 2017, comprehensive changes in U.S. federal income taxes were enacted through legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act made many significant modifications to the tax laws, including reducing the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Tax Act also eliminated federal bonus depreciation for utilities, limited interest deductibility for non-utility businesses and limited the deductibility of officer compensation. During 2020, the IRS issued final regulations related to certain officer compensation and, in January 2021, issued final regulations on interest deductibility that provide a 10% “de minimis” exception that allows entities with predominantly regulated activities to fully deduct interest expenses.
As a result of the change in the federal income tax rate, the Company re-measured and adjusted its deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017. The portion of that adjustment not related to PNM’s and TNMP’s regulated activities was recorded as a reduction in net deferred tax assets and an increase in income tax expense. The portion related to PNM’s and TNMP’s regulated activities was recorded as a reduction in net deferred tax liabilities and an increase in regulatory liabilities.
Beginning February 2018, PNM’s NM 2016 Rate Case reflected the reduction in the federal and state corporate income tax rates, including amortization of excess deferred federal and state income taxes. In accordance with the order in that case and amortization requirements of the tax laws, PNM is returning the protected portion of excess deferred federal income taxes to customers over the average remaining life of plant in service as of December 31, 2017. The remaining balance of the unprotected portion of excess deferred federal income taxes, which was being returned to customers over a period of approximately twenty-three years, will be returned over a five-year period when new rates go into effect from the 2024 Rate Change. Excess deferred state income taxes were returned to customers over a three-year period, which concluded in the first quarter of 2021. The approved settlement in the TNMP 2018 Rate Case includes a reduction in customer rates to reflect the impacts of the Tax Act beginning on January 1, 2019. TXNM, PNM, and TNMP amortized federal excess deferred income taxes of $25.7 million, $23.0 million, and $2.7 million in 2025.
On July 4, 2025, changes in U.S. federal income tax laws were enacted through the OBBBA. The OBBBA generally extends and makes permanent the changes from the Tax Act, including maintaining the 21% corporate tax rate, interest deductibility for regulated electric utilities, and state and local tax deductibility. The OBBBA also accelerates the phase-out of certain Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 energy tax credits and restricts the availability of credits for “foreign entities of concern.” As a result, TXNM anticipates potentially higher costs associated with any future renewable energy development but does not expect other aspects of the OBBBA to have a material impact on its financial statements.

December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023
TXNM, PNM, and TNMP had no estimated interest income or expense related to income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. There was no accumulated accrued interest receivable or payable related to income taxes as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
The Company files a federal consolidated and several consolidated and separate state income tax returns. The tax years prior to 2022 are closed to examination by either federal or state taxing authorities other than Arizona. The tax years prior to 2021 are closed to examination by Arizona taxing authorities. Other tax years are open to examination by federal and state taxing authorities and net operating loss carryforwards are open to examination for the years in which the carryforwards are utilized. At December 31, 2025, the Company has $330.7 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards that expire beginning in 2036 and $130.0 million of federal tax credit carryforwards that expire beginning in 2026. State net operating losses expire beginning in 2038 and vary from federal due to differences between state and federal tax law.
In 2008, fifty percent bonus tax depreciation was enacted as a temporary two-year stimulus measure as part of the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008. Bonus tax depreciation in various forms has been extended since that time, including by the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015. The 2015 act extended and phased-out bonus tax depreciation through 2019. As discussed above, the Tax Act eliminated bonus depreciation for utilities effective September 28, 2017. However, in 2020 the IRS issued regulations interpreting Tax Act amendments to depreciation provisions of the IRC which allowed the Company to claim a bonus depreciation deduction on certain construction projects placed in service after the third quarter of 2017. As a result of the net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes created by bonus depreciation, certain tax carryforwards were not expected to be utilized before their expiration. In addition, as a result of Tax Act changes to the deductibility of officer compensation, certain deferred tax benefits related to compensation are not expected to be realized. The Company has impaired the deferred tax assets for tax carryforwards which are not expected to be utilized and for compensation that is not expected to be deductible.
The Company earns investment tax credits for construction or purchase of eligible property. The Company uses the deferral method of accounting for these investment tax credits. Impairments of tax attributes after reflecting the expiration of carryforwards under applicable tax laws for 2023 through 2025 are as follows:

(19) Goodwill
The excess purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by TXNM for its 2005 acquisition of TNP was recorded as goodwill and was pushed down to the businesses acquired. In 2007, the TNMP assets that were included in its New Mexico operations, including goodwill, were transferred to PNM. TXNM’s reporting units that

currently have goodwill are PNM and TNMP. The Company evaluates its goodwill for impairment annually at the reporting unit level or more frequently if circumstances indicate that the goodwill may be impaired. Application of the impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit.
In certain circumstances an entity may perform a qualitative analysis to conclude that the goodwill of a reporting unit is not impaired. Under a qualitative assessment an entity considers macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, other relevant entity-specific events affecting a reporting unit, as well as whether a sustained decrease (both absolute and relative to its peers) in share price has occurred. An entity considers the extent to which each of the adverse events and circumstances identified could affect the comparison of a reporting unit’s fair value with its carrying amount. An entity places more weight on the events and circumstances that most affect a reporting unit’s fair value or the carrying amount of its net assets. An entity also considers positive and mitigating events and circumstances that may affect its determination of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. An entity evaluates, on the basis of the weight of evidence, the significance of all identified events and circumstances in the context of determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. A quantitative analysis is not required if, after assessing events and circumstances, an entity determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.
In other circumstances, an entity may perform a quantitative analysis to reach the conclusion regarding impairment with respect to a reporting unit. An entity may choose to perform a quantitative analysis without performing a qualitative analysis and may perform a qualitative analysis for certain reporting units, but a quantitative analysis for others. The first step of the quantitative impairment test requires an entity to compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. If as a result of this analysis, the entity concludes there is an indication of impairment in a reporting unit having goodwill, the entity is required to perform the second step of the impairment analysis, determining the amount of goodwill impairment to be recorded. The amount is calculated by comparing the implied fair value of the goodwill to its carrying amount. This exercise would require the entity to allocate the fair value determined in step one to the individual assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Any remaining fair value would be the implied fair value of goodwill on the testing date. To the extent the recorded amount of goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value determined in step two, an impairment loss would be reflected in results of operations.
TXNM periodically updates its quantitative analysis for both PNM and TNMP. The use of a quantitative approach in a given period is not necessarily an indication that a potential impairment has been identified under a qualitative approach. When TXNM performs a quantitative analysis for PNM or TNMP, a discounted cash flow methodology is primarily used to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit. This analysis requires significant judgments, including estimations of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimations of long-term growth rates for the business, and determination of appropriate weighted average cost of capital for the reporting unit. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and the conclusion of impairment.
When TXNM performs a qualitative or quantitative analysis for PNM or TNMP, TXNM considers market and macroeconomic factors including changes in growth rates, changes in the WACC, and changes in discount rates. TXNM also evaluates its stock price relative to historical performance, industry peers, and to major market indices, including an evaluation of TXNM’s market capitalization relative to the carrying value of its reporting units.
For its annual evaluations performed as of April 1, 2023, TXNM performed a qualitative analysis for both the PNM and TNMP reporting units. In addition to the typical considerations discussed above, the qualitative analysis considered changes in the Company’s expectations of future financial performance since the April 1, 2018 quantitative analysis and the previous qualitative analyses through April 1, 2022 performed for PNM, as well as the April 1, 2021 quantitative analysis and the previous qualitative analyses performed for TNMP. This analysis considered Company specific events such as the Merger, potential impacts of legal and regulatory matters discussed in Notes 16 and 17, including potential outcomes in PNM’s 2024 Rate Change, PNM’s San Juan Abandonment Application, PNM’s Four Corners Abandonment Application, PNM’s PVNGS Leased Interest Abandonment Application and other potential impacts of changes in PNM’s resource needs based on PNM’s 2020 IRP. Based on an evaluation of these and other factors, the Company determined it was not more likely than not that the April 1, 2023 carrying values of PNM and TNMP exceeded their fair value.
For its annual evaluations performed as of April 1, 2024, TXNM performed a quantitative analysis for the PNM reporting unit and a qualitative analysis for the TNMP reporting unit. The quantitative analysis, discussed above, indicated that the fair value of the PNM reporting unit, which has goodwill of $51.6 million, exceeded its carrying value by approximately 54%. The qualitative analysis, in addition to the typical considerations discussed above, considered changes in the Company’s expectations of future financial performance since the April 1, 2020 quantitative analysis and the previous qualitative analyses through April 1, 2023, performed for TNMP. This analysis considered events specific to TNMP such as the potential impacts of legal and regulatory matters discussed in Note 16 and Note 17. Based on an evaluation of these and other factors, the

Company determined it was not more likely than not that the April 1, 2024 carrying values of PNM and TNMP exceeded their fair value. Since the April 1, 2024 annual evaluation, there have been no events or indications that the fair values of the reporting units with recorded goodwill have decreased below their carrying values.
For its annual evaluations performed as of April 1, 2025, TXNM performed a qualitative analysis for both the PNM and TNMP reporting units. In addition to the typical considerations discussed above, the qualitative analysis considered changes in the Company’s expectations of future financial performance since the April 1, 2024, quantitative analysis performed for PNM, as well as the April 1, 2020 quantitative analysis and the previous qualitative analyses through April 1, 2024 performed for TNMP. This analysis considered Company-specific events such as the Merger, potential impacts of legal and regulatory matters discussed in Note 16 and Note 17, including the outcomes in the 2025 Rate Request, PNM’s Grid Modernization Plan, and TNMP’s System Resiliency Plan. Based on an evaluation of these and other factors, the Company determined it was not more likely than not that the April 1, 2025, carrying values of PNM and TNMP exceeded their fair value.
(20)Related Party Transactions
TXNM, PNM, TNMP, and NMRD are considered related parties, as is PNMR Services Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TXNM that provides corporate services to TXNM and its subsidiaries in accordance with shared services agreements. These services are billed at cost on a monthly basis to the business units. In addition, prior to the sale of NMRD, PNM purchased renewable energy from certain NMRD-owned facilities at a fixed price per MWh of energy produced. On February 27, 2024, PNMR Development and AEP OnSite Partners sold their respective interests in NMRD, and the table below reflects transactions with NMRD prior to the sale.
TXNM files a consolidated federal income tax return with its affiliated companies. A tax allocation agreement exists between TXNM and each of its affiliated companies. These agreements provide that the subsidiary company will compute its taxable income on a stand-alone basis. If the result is a net tax liability, such amount shall be paid to TXNM. If there are net operating losses and/or tax credits, the subsidiary shall receive payment for the tax savings from TXNM to the extent that TXNM is able to utilize those benefits. See Note 7 for information on intercompany borrowing arrangements. The table below summarizes the nature and amount of related party transactions of TXNM, PNM and TNMP:

(22) Merger
On May 18, 2025, TXNM, Parent, and Merger Sub, entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into TXNM, with TXNM surviving the Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Blackstone Infrastructure.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of the common stock of TXNM (other than (i) the issued shares of TXNM common stock that are owned by TXNM, Parent, Merger Sub, or any other wholly-owned subsidiaries of Parent or TXNM, in each case, not held on behalf of third parties, which will be automatically cancelled at the Effective Time and (ii) shares of TXNM common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of, or consented in writing to, the Merger who is entitled to, and who has demanded, payment for fair value of such shares in accordance with applicable New Mexico law) will, at the Effective Time, be converted into the right to receive $61.25 in cash, without interest.
The proposed Merger has been unanimously approved by the Board, and it was approved by a majority of the holders of outstanding shares of TXNM common stock, as of the applicable record date, at the special meeting held on August 28, 2025. On January 13, 2026, the waiting period under the HSR Act in connection with the Merger expired and on January 23, 2026, the FCC consented to the two transfers of control applications submitted by Parent and TXNM. Consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions, including the absence of any material adverse effect on TXNM, the absence of legal prohibition on the consummation of the Merger (a “Legal Restraint”), and absence of any agreement between Parent or TXNM and the FCC or Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice prohibiting the Merger, and the receipt of certain required regulatory approvals (including NMPRC and NRC). The Merger Agreement does not contain any financing condition. On August 25, 2025, TXNM filed applications for regulatory approvals to the NMPRC, PUCT, and FERC (Note 17). On February 6, 2026, the PUCT approved a unanimous settlement agreement filed by parties to the merger proceeding filed in December and on February 20, 2026, the FERC approved the proposed Merger. The Merger is currently expected to close in the second half of 2026.
The Merger Agreement may be terminated by each of TXNM and Parent under certain circumstances, including if the Merger is not consummated by the 15-month anniversary of the execution of the Merger Agreement (as extended, the “End Date”), so long as failure of the Merger to consummate on or before the End Date was not due to the breach of the Merger Agreement by such party, subject to an automatic extension of the End Date until December 31, 2026 and an additional three-month extension by mutual agreement of the parties, in each case if all of the conditions to the closing, other than the conditions related to obtaining regulatory approvals or the absence of a Legal Restraint, have been satisfied or waived.

The equity financing, when funded in accordance with the Equity Commitment Letter together with the debt financing when funded in accordance with the Debt Commitment Letters, will provide an amount that is sufficient to fund the (i) payment of the aggregate per share merger consideration, (ii) repayment, prepayment or discharge of certain obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries that would become due (after giving effect to the Merger) and are intended to be repaid at Closing and (iii) payment of all fees and expenses expected to be incurred at Closing in connection therewith. Additionally, following Closing, Parent and TXNM will have sufficient funds to repay, prepay or discharge certain other debt obligations of TXNM. In addition, Blackstone Infrastructure has executed and delivered a limited guarantee in favor of TXNM (the “Limited Guarantee”), pursuant to which Blackstone Infrastructure has guaranteed the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to pay the Parent Termination Fee and certain other fees and expenses under the Merger Agreement. The Limited Guarantee is capped at $375.0 million.
