COVID-19, 2020 Guidance and Regulatory Updates
COVID-19 Scenario Analysis: Current Status
4
Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3
Duration / Economic Conditions
(Margin Impact)
Up to 60 day-impact (through May) with closure of non-
essential businesses, restrictions lifted by end of May
60 - 120 day-impact (through July), with closure of non-
essential businesses, restrictions lifted beginning of August
>120 day-impact, duration of 4-6 months before recovery begins (continues through the end of
2020)
Workforce Disruption(Capital Impact)
No significant disruption to critical workforce; remaining
workforce able to work remotely
Up to 15% disruption for a sustained period resulting from
absenteeism
Up to 40% disruption for a sustained period resulting from
absenteeism
Supply Chain Disruption
(Capital Impact)
No material supply chain issues, adequate near-term supply of capital equipment on-site or
available
Disruption in supply chain for specific capital equipment
results in 1–2 month delay on certain projects; no issues with maintenance capital necessary
to maintain reliable service
Major disruption in supply chain delays significant capital
projects; prioritization of capital equipment to meet most
essential reliability projects
• Continued scenario analysis and planning under 3 different stages:• Duration / Economic Conditions are entering Stage 2 with some restrictions lifted,
monthly impacts will continue to be evaluated during phased re-openings• No Workforce and Supply Chain Disruptions have been experienced

$2.16 Consolidated EPS $2.26
Based on strong May weather impacts, Stage 2 can be managed within guidance
Stage 1: Manage within
Guidance
Stage 3: Outside of Guidance
Reduced load impacts were offset by warmer than normal May temperatures at PNM, lower interest and financing costs, lower O&M
Expected load impacts can be offset by phased-in cost contingency plans, regulatory filings, weather
Reassess guidance: expected load impacts cannot be managed within the guidance range
Note: Refer to Slide 45 for EPS sensitivities of load impacts under planning assumptions

Our Goal: Transform PNM Generation to 100% Carbon-Free by 2040
Step 1: Exit Coal Generation by 2031
• San Juan Generating Station: •Retired Units 2 and 3 in 2017 (221 MWs);
Retirement of Units 1 and 4 in 2022 (562 MWs) • Four Corners Coal Plant:
•Exit from ownership participation no later than expiration of agreements in 2031 (200 MWs)
Step 2: Eliminate emissions from natural gas generation by 2040
• Exit from Valencia gas plant in 2028 (158 MWs)
• Transform existing and transitional gas plants to carbon-free capacity resources such as battery storage and pumped storage by 2040
Step 3: Actively pursue the development of carbon-free replacement power alternatives
• Current options: renewable + storage combinations, short-term natural gas peaking units to facilitate transition to emissions-free

West Texas ~47%
North/Central TX ~28%
Gulf Coast ~25%
● TNMP Service Area
• ERCOT summer peak demand projected to grow by ~20% over next ten years(1), extensive regional studies call for increased transmission infrastructure to support reliability and growth, particularly in West Texas region
2020 Key Capital Projects• A group of transmission lines and substations in northern West Texas
will be upgraded from 69kv to 138kv to support regional growth;
• In the Gulf Coast, a 138kV transmission line upgrade will be completed to help with transmission contingency issues and support the interconnection of a new gas-fired power plant;

Safety of our Team
Caring for Customers and Communities
Managing our Business
• Identification of critical workforce, staging of backups, limited access to control rooms and critical assets
• Minimize critical employee exposure, inter-crew exposures and exposures with the public: eliminate group gatherings, deploy additional fleet vehicles
• Mandatory work-from-home and flexible arrangements for all applicable job functions
• Residential customer disconnects temporarily suspended, late fees waived
• TNMP helped create COVID-19 Electricity Relief Program
• PNM Resources Foundation community safety grant opportunity for PNM and TNMP service territories
• PNM and TNMP supporting local businesses
• Business continuity plans implemented, daily crisis team meetings
• Coordination with key vendors and suppliers
• Close contact with neighboring utilities, regional operators CAISO and ERCOT, reliability entities WECC and Texas RE, EEI, EPRI and North American Transmission Forum

Mitigating Effects of COVID-19 on Customer Collections
42
PNM joint filing on April 27, 2020 with requests deferral of uncollectible payments and incremental costs in response to COVID-19 to regulatory asset, recovery determined in next rate review
Proactive outreach to customers with outstanding balances to offer information regarding payment assistance options and programs, including payment plans specifically designed to offer COVID-19 assistance, balances with active payment plans are not subject to write-off as bad debt expense
In the absence of approval to defer costs, COVID-19 bad debt assumptions: Historically ~0.35% of revenues (~$3M) Stage 1: 10% write-off of payment deferrals increases expense by <$0.01 EPS Stage 2: 10% write-off of payment deferrals increases expense by $0.01-$0.02 EPS Stage 3: identify balances associated with discontinued businesses, reassess impacts
TNMP risk mitigated by COVID-19 Electricity Relief Program Deferral of incremental costs associated with COVID-19 to regulatory asset including, but not limited to, bad debt expense
As a T&D utility within ERCOT, TNMP’s customers are the Retail Electric Providers, bad debts are associated with these entities and not end users
Regulatory strategies reflect our focus on benefitting customers and communities

Securitization next steps:
47
April 1, 2020: Irrevocable NMPRC financing order
Early 2022: PNM forms a Special Purpose Entity (SPE) that will issue the bonds
July 2022: SPE issues securitization bonds
Within 30 days of issuance: PNM files a report with the NMPRC, to include bond pricing and structure
Semi-annually after issuance: PNM files to true up the customer charge for under- or over-collection

(1) Average rate base has been reduced by approximately $130M to represent ($0.05) of Earnings Potential for the lost equity return on Four Corners investment determined in the 2018 general rate review. 2022 and 2023 rate base also reflects the removal of $283M undepreciated SJGS investment upon its retirement in mid-2022 to be recovered through securitization.
(2) Replacement Power includes $298M investment implemented mid-2022; $278M of generation investment and $20M of transmission investment.(3) PNM Renewables reflect assets collected through the Renewable Rate Rider. (4) PNM FERC in 2021-2023 reflects a return of 8%-9% to account for Western Spirit investment recovered through incremental rates.(5) Consists primarily of decommissioning/reclamation trust income (net of fees/taxes), AFUDC, certain incentive compensation, and the 65MW ownership of San Juan Unit 4 (prior to retirement).(6) TNMP earnings include additional recovery for Energy Efficiency, along with items excluded from rates (primarily AFUDC) and interest savings from the refinancing of existing debt. (7) Corporate/Other includes the earnings impacts associated with short and intermediate term bank debt and the 50% equity interest in NMRD.(8) Equity Financing Plans reflect $250M - $300M of mandatory convertibles issued in the second half of 2021 that would convert in 2024.
