PNM: Earnings for fourth-quarter 2022 were 5 cents per share, down 66.7% from the year-ago quarter. The decline in earnings from this segment was due to a planned increase in O&M spending, including outage costs at gas plants, and higher depreciation and property tax expenses on new capital investments.
TNMP: Earnings for fourth-quarter were 23 cents per share, up 77% from the year-ago quarter. The surge in earnings was due to increased use of load growth and weather, along with rate recovery through increases in Transmission Cost of Service and Distribution Cost of Service.
