EPS Results by Segment
GAAP Diluted EPS Ongoing Diluted EPS
Q3 2024 Q3 2023 Q3 2024 Q3 2023
PNM $1.20 $0.09 $1.18 $1.19

Corporate and Other ($0.14) ($0.11) ($0.14) ($0.11)
Consolidated TXNM Energy $1.45 $0.44 $1.43 $1.54
Net changes to GAAP and ongoing earnings in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023 include:
-- PNM: The implementation of new retail rates, improved performance by the
decommissioning and reclamation trusts and interest expense net of
refunds were more than offset by lower transmission margins due to
market prices, new depreciation rates implemented as part of new retail
rates as well as depreciation expense associated with new capital
investments. Load growth was offset by lower weather impacts.
-- TNMP: Rate recovery through Transmission Cost of Service (TCOS) and
Distribution Cost Recovery Factor (DCRF) increases were more than offset
by lower weather impacts along with depreciation, property tax and
interest expense associated with new capital investments.
-- Corporate and Other: Lower NMRD income following the February sale and
higher interest rates on variable rate debt, net of hedges, increased
losses.
GAAP and ongoing earnings per share were reduced in the third quarter of 2024 by additional shares issued in December 2023.
In addition, GAAP earnings in the third quarter of 2024 included $9.5 million of net unrealized gains on investment securities compared to $5.6 million of net unrealized losses in the third quarter of 2023. GAAP earnings in the third quarter of 2023 included a one-time charge for a settlement involving $115 million of rate credits associated with the retirement of the San Juan Generating Station.

("TXNM"), Public Service Company of New Mexico ("PNM"), or Texas-New Mexico Power Company ("TNMP") (collectively, the "Company") that relate to future events or expectations, projections, estimates, intentions, goals, targets, and strategies, including the unaudited financial results and earnings guidance, are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned that all forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations and estimates and apply only as of the date of this report. TXNM, PNM, and TNMP assume no obligation to update this information. Because actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, TXNM, PNM, and TNMP caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements. TXNM's, PNM's, and TNMP's business, financial condition, cash flow, and operating results are influenced by many factors, which are often beyond their control, that can cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. For a discussion of risk factors and other important factors affecting forward-looking statements, please see the Company's Form 10-K, Form 10-Q filings and the information included in the Company's Forms 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which factors are specifically incorporated by reference herein.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. Ongoing earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of net unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on economic hedges, the net change in unrealized gains and losses on investment securities, pension expense related to previously disposed of gas distribution business, and certain non-recurring, infrequent, and other items that are not indicative of fundamental changes in the earnings capacity of the Company's operations. 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.
