TXNM Energy Reports Q2 2025 Results

TXNM Energy (NYSE: TXNM) has recently shared its financial performance for the second quarter of 2025. The report reflects a complex landscape shaped by substantial equity issuance and strategic partnerships. Here’s a detailed overview of their latest results and future outlook.

Financial Summary

For the second quarter of 2025, TXNM Energy reported GAAP net earnings of $21.6 million, or $0.22 per diluted share. In contrast, for the same period in 2024, the company posted earnings of $48 million or $0.53 per diluted share. The ongoing net earnings stood at $24.5 million with ongoing diluted earnings per share at $0.25, albeit lower than the $54.3 million and $0.60 per share reported a year earlier.

A notable factor contributing to these results includes the issuance of $600 million in equity, which comprises $400 million allocated to affiliates of Blackstone Infrastructure Partners L.P. (referred to as Blackstone Infrastructure). This significant transaction highlights TXNM Energy's evolving strategy and partnership dynamics.

Strategic Transaction with Blackstone Infrastructure

One of the standout elements of TXNM Energy’s announcement is the proposed acquisition agreement with Blackstone Infrastructure. Under this agreement, Blackstone is set to purchase TXNM Energy's outstanding common stock for $61.25 per share upon closing, leading to a projected total enterprise value of $11.5 billion. This transaction is anticipated to finalize in the latter half of 2026, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.

President and CEO Don Tarry expressed optimism regarding this partnership, emphasizing the potential benefits that could arise from it, both operationally and for customers. He remarked on achieving favorable regulatory outcomes that will likely enhance customer experiences and community engagements in the long-term.

Regulatory Developments

In terms of regulatory developments, TXNM has made headway with several significant filings. The company has successfully implemented their first Distribution Cost Recovery Factor (DCRF) for 2025, granting recovery for $176 million in rates. Furthermore, TXNM initiated filings in July 2025 for the second Transmission Cost of Service and DCRF, seeking recovery for an additional $115 million.

At PNM, TXNM has commenced the first phase of an approved $105 million rate increase effective from July 1, 2025, with a second increase slated for April 1, 2026. Additionally, the approval of an unopposed stipulation in the 2028 Resource Application was secured, which includes the addition of 450 megawatts of new solar and battery storage capacity.

Earnings Breakdown by Segment

Breaking down the earnings by segment, PNM, the vertically integrated electric utility in New Mexico, reported a GAAP diluted EPS of $0.25, down from $0.34 in Q2 2024. Meanwhile, TNMP, the electric transmission and distribution utility in Texas, experienced a slight decline in GAAP diluted EPS to $0.22, compared to $0.33 previously.

Overall, the consolidated GAAP EPS for TXNM Energy declined from $0.53 year-over-year to the current $0.22, attributed to increased operational costs and the impact of refinancing initiatives.

Future Outlook

As TXNM Energy moves forward, the landscape appears both promising and challenging. The ongoing partnership with Blackstone Infrastructure is seen as a crucial stepping stone towards achieving progressive growth while enhancing service delivery to their clientele across Texas and New Mexico. Additionally, regulatory proceedings will continue to play a pivotal role in shaping financial outcomes.

This update reflects TXNM's commitment to transparency and opens the floor for discussion on strategic developments that may influence shareholder and customer experiences in the years to come. Stakeholders are encouraged to stay engaged as more updates emerge from the company’s operations and its dynamic marketplace activities.
