As previously announced, TXNM Energy does not plan to issue earnings guidance during pendency of the proposed transaction with Blackstone Infrastructure.

"Increased retail load at both PNM and TNMP, including new all-time system peaks this summer, underscores the need for grid investment to support growing customer demand," said Don Tarry, President and CEO of TXNM Energy. "We continue to pursue approval for our agreement with Blackstone Infrastructure to assist us in meeting these needs along with providing significant benefits and protections to our customers and communities."TRANSACTION UPDATEOn May 19, 2025, TXNM Energy announced an agreement under which affiliates of Blackstone Infrastructure will acquire the outstanding common stock of TXNM Energy for $61.25 per share.Shareholders approved the proposed transaction on August 28, 2025. In February 2026, approval was received from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Public Utility Commission of Texas ("PUCT") approved a unanimous settlement agreement on the proposed transaction. Clearance has been received from the Federal Communications Commission and the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act has expired without any objections or concerns having been raised. Approvals continue to be pursued from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and New Mexico Public Regulation Commission ("NMPRC").On July 17, 2026, TXNM Energy and Blackstone Infrastructure extended the termination date under the agreement to May 31, 2027, to allow for further time to obtain regulatory approvals. TXNM Energy anticipates that the closing of the acquisition will occur in the first half of 2027, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the remaining customary closing conditions, including among other things, receipt of approval from the NMPRC and federal regulatory approvals.REGULATORY UPDATE On May 29, 2026, Public Service Company of New Mexico ("PNM") filed its 2029-2032 Resource Portfolio Application with the NMPRC seeking approval of a balanced portfolio including 800 MW of wind power purchase agreements ("PPAs"), 240 MW of solar PPAs, 610 MW of battery storage agreements, 40 MW expansion of PNM-owned natural gas generation and abandonment and exit of PNM's interest in the Four Corners Power Plant ("Four Corners") in 2031. The application also includes a request for an accounting order for resources associated with future economic development and gives notice that PNM intends to extend operations of the existing Reeves Generating Station through the end of 2044 to provide additional resource assurance. The proposed portfolio addresses projected resource shortfalls beginning in 2029, driven by load growth and the need to replace capacity as PNM exits Four Corners.Texas New Mexico Power ("TNMP") and all parties to TNMP's base rate review reached a settlement and filed an unopposed stipulation with the PUCT on May 29, 2026. The stipulation agreed to TNMP's recovery of $2.8 billion of rate base, a return on equity of 9.65% and a 45% equity ratio. The PUCT approved the settlement on July 30, 2026, with interim rates relating back to May 22, 2026, until the final approved rates are implemented on September 13, 2026.SEGMENT REPORTING OF 2026 SECOND QUARTER EARNINGSPNM – a vertically integrated electric utility in New Mexico with distribution, transmission and generation assets.TNMP – an electric transmission and distribution utility in Texas.Corporate and Other – reflects the TXNM Energy holding company and other subsidiaries.EPS Results by SegmentGAAP Diluted EPSOngoing Diluted EPSQ2 2026Q2 2025Q2 2026Q2 2025PNM$0.41$0.25$0.30$0.12TNMP$0.36$0.22$0.39$0.27Corporate and Other($0.13)($0.25)($0.11)($0.14)Consolidated TXNM Energy$0.64$0.22$0.58$0.25Net changes to GAAP and ongoing earnings in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 include:PNM: Rate relief from the approved 2025 Rate Request, higher retail load, higher transmission revenues, timing of plant outages and increased performance on investment securities were partially offset by higher depreciation, property tax and interest expense associated with new capital investments and increased demand charges from energy storage agreements added in late 2025.TNMP: Rate recovery through the Distribution Cost Recovery Factor and Transmission Cost of Service rate mechanisms, revenues recorded under Texas House Bill 5247, impacts of interim rates and higher retail load were partially offset by higher depreciation, property tax and interest expense associated with new capital investments.Corporate and Other: Lower interest expense due to lower debt balances increased earnings.GAAP and ongoing earnings per share were reduced in the second quarter of 2026 by shares issued in June and August 2025 and in March and May 2026. In addition, GAAP earnings in the second quarter of 2026 included $16.1 million of net unrealized gains on investment securities compared to $16.6 million in the second quarter of 2025.

The Company uses ongoing earnings and ongoing earnings per diluted share to evaluate the operations of the Company and to establish goals, including those used for certain aspects of incentive compensation, for management and employees. While the Company believes these financial measures are appropriate and useful for investors, they are not measures presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not intend for these measures, or any piece of these measures, to represent any financial measure as defined by GAAP. Furthermore, the Company's calculations of these measures as presented may or may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company uses ongoing earnings guidance to provide investors with management's expectations of ongoing financial performance over the period presented. While the Company believes ongoing earnings guidance is an appropriate measure, it is not a measure presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not intend for ongoing earnings guidance to represent an expectation of net earnings as defined by GAAP. Since the future differences between GAAP and ongoing earnings are frequently outside the control of the Company, management is generally not able to estimate the impact of the reconciling items between forecasted GAAP net earnings and ongoing earnings guidance, nor their probable impact on GAAP net earnings without unreasonable effort, therefore, management is generally not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for ongoing earnings guidance. Reconciliations between GAAP and ongoing earnings are contained in schedules 1-4.TXNM Energy, Inc. and SubsidiariesSchedule 1Reconciliation of GAAP to Ongoing Earnings (Unaudited)PNMTNMPCorporate and OtherTXNM Consolidated(in thousands)Three Months Ended June 30, 2026GAAP Net Earnings (Loss) Attributable to TXNM$ 45,766$ 39,934$ (14,436)$ 71,264Adjusting items before income tax effects:Net change in unrealized (gains) losses on investment securities2a(16,094)——(16,094)Pension expense related to previously disposed of gas distribution business2b405——405Process improvement initiatives2c16176—237Merger related costs2d1,4083,6842,1247,216Total adjustments before income tax effects(14,120)3,7602,124(8,236)Income tax impact of above adjustments13,586(790)(540)2,256 Timing of statutory and effective tax rates on non-recurring items4(1,930)(56)823(1,163)Total income tax impacts31,656(846)2831,093Adjusting items, net of income taxes(12,464)2,9142,407(7,143)Ongoing Earnings (Loss)$ 33,302$ 42,848$ (12,029)$ 64,121Six Months Ended June 30, 2026GAAP Net Earnings (Loss) Attributable to TXNM$ 29,884$ 70,624$ (25,507)$ 75,001Adjusting items before income tax effects:Net change in unrealized (gains) losses on investment securities2a795——795Pension expense related to previously disposed of gas distribution business2b1,120——1,120Process improvement initiatives2c1,16276—1,238Merger related costs2d2,4187,4792,95312,850Total adjustments before income tax effects5,4957,5552,95316,003Income tax impact of above adjustments1(1,396)(1,586)(750)(3,732) Timing of statutory and effective tax rates on non-recurring items4320(210)578688Total income tax impacts3(1,076)(1,796)(172)(3,044)Adjusting items, net of income taxes4,4195,7592,78112,959Ongoing Earnings (Loss)$ 34,303$ 76,383$ (22,726)$ 87,9601 Tax effects calculated using a tax rate of 21.0% for TNMP and 25.4% for other segments 2 The pre-tax impacts (in thousands) of adjusting items are reflected on the GAAP Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings as follows:a Changes in "Gains (losses) on investment securities" reflecting non-cash performance relative to market, not indicative of funding requirementsb Increases in "Other (deductions)" c Increases in "Administrative and general" of $0.2 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 at PNM and increases of $0.1 million at TNMP for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026d Increases in "Administrative and general" of $1.4 million and $2.4 million at PNM for the three and six months ended June 30 2026;
