Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
Financing | Financing The Company’s financing strategy includes both short-term and long-term borrowings. The Company utilizes short-term revolving credit facilities, as well as cash flows from operations, to provide funds for both construction and operating expenditures. Depending on market and other conditions, the Company will periodically sell long-term debt or enter into term loan arrangements and use the proceeds to reduce borrowings under the revolving credit facilities or refinance other debt. Each of the Company’s revolving credit facilities, term loans, and other debt agreements contains a single financial covenant that requires the maintenance of a debt-to-capitalization ratio. For the PNMR agreements, this ratio must be maintained at less than or equal to 70%, and for the PNM and TNMP agreements, this ratio must be maintained at less than or equal to 65%. The Company’s revolving credit facilities, term loans, and other debt agreements generally also contain customary covenants, events of default, cross-default provisions, and change-of-control provisions. PNM must obtain NMPRC approval for any financing transaction having a maturity of more than 18 months. In addition, PNM files its annual informational financing filing and short-term financing plan with the NMPRC. Additional information concerning financing activities is contained in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2022 Annual Reports on Form 10-K. On August 25, 2023, PNM formed PNM Energy Transition Bond Company I, LLC (“ETBC I”), a wholly owned special purpose subsidiary for the limited purpose of purchasing, owning, and administering energy transition property, issuing Securitized Bonds, and performing related activities. PNM expects ETBC I to issue $343.2 million principal amount of Securitized Bonds in the fourth quarter of 2023. See Note 12 for additional information regarding the SJGS Abandonment Application. On May 16, 2023, PNM filed a shelf registration statement that provides for the issuance of up to $650.0 million of SUNs that expires in May 2026. On March 2, 2022, PNMR filed a shelf registration that provides for the issuance of various types of debt and equity securities. The PNMR shelf registration statement expires in March 2025. Financing Activities On June 30, 2023, PNMR entered into a $500.0 million term loan agreement (the “PNMR 2023 Term Loan”) among PNMR, the lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The PNMR 2023 Term Loan matures on June 30, 2026 and bears interest at a variable rate, which was 6.77% at September 30, 2023. The proceeds were used to prepay an equal amount of the PNMR 2021 Delayed Draw Term Loan, without penalty. At December 31, 2022, PNM had $130.0 million of 1.10% PCRBs outstanding with a mandatory remarketing date of June 1, 2023, issued by the City of Farmington, New Mexico with a final maturity of June 2040. On June 1, 2023, PNM remarketed the $130.0 million to new investors at 3.90% with a mandatory tender date of June 1, 2028. At December 31, 2022, PNM had $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.15% SUNs outstanding due May 2023. On May 15, 2023, PNM repaid the $55.0 million 3.15% SUNs. On April 28, 2023, PNM entered into an agreement (the “PNM 2023 Note Purchase Agreement”) with institutional investors for the sale and issuance of $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of two series of SUNs (the “PNM 2023 SUNs”) offered in private placement transactions. The PNM 2023 SUNs were issued on April 28, 2023. PNM issued $150.0 million of the PNM 2023 SUNs at 5.51%, due April 28, 2035, and another $50.0 million at 5.92%, due April 28, 2053. Proceeds from the PNM 2023 SUNs were used to repay borrowings under the PNM Revolving Credit Facility and the PNM New Mexico Credit Facility, for funding of capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes. The PNM 2023 Note Purchase Agreement includes the customary covenants discussed above. In the event of a change of control, PNM will be required to offer to prepay the PNM 2023 SUNs at par. Although there are customary change of control provisions in the PNM debt agreements, the change of control provisions in these agreements, including the PNM 2023 Note Purchase Agreement, are not triggered by the closing of the Merger. PNM has the right to redeem any or all of the PNM 2023 SUNs prior to their maturities, subject to payment of a customary make-whole premium. On April 28, 2023, TNMP entered into an agreement (the “TNMP 2023 Bond Purchase Agreement”) with institutional investors for the sale of $185.0 million aggregate principal amount of two series of TNMP first mortgage bonds (the “TNMP 2023 Bonds”) offered in private placement transactions. TNMP issued the first series of $130.0 million on April 28, 2023, at a 5.01% interest rate, due April 28, 2033. The second series of $55.0 million was issued on July 28, 2023, at a 5.47% interest rate, due July 28, 2053. The proceeds were used to repay borrowings under the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility, for funding of capital expenditures, and for other corporate purposes. The TNMP 2023 Bonds are subject to continuing compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the supplemental indentures governing the TNMP 2023 Bonds. The terms of the supplemental indentures governing the TNMP 2023 Bonds include the customary covenants discussed above. In the event of a change of control, TNMP will be required to offer to prepay the TNMP 2023 Bonds at par. However, the definition of change of control in the supplemental indentures governing the TNMP 2023 Bonds will not be triggered by the close of the Merger. TNMP has the right to redeem any or all of the TNMP 2023 Bonds prior to their maturity, subject to payment of a customary make-whole premium. On November 10, 2022, PNMR entered into a distribution agreement with BofA Securities, Inc., MUFG Securities Americas Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as sales agents and Bank of America, N.A., MUFG Securities EMEA plc and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as forward purchasers, pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $200.0 million of its common stock, no par value, through the sales agents (the “PNMR 2022 ATM Program”). During the first quarter of 2023, PNMR entered into forward sale agreements with each of Bank of America, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as forward purchasers relating to the sale of 504,452 and 528,082 shares of common stock, respectively, under the PNMR 2022 ATM Program (the “2023 Q1 Forward Sale Agreements”). The average initial forward sale price of $48.49 per share and $48.30 per share, respectively, are subject to adjustments based on a net interest rate factor and by future dividends paid on PNMR common stock as specified in the 2023 Q1 Forward Sale Agreements. During the second quarter of 2023, PNMR entered into additional forward sale agreements with MUFG Securities EMEA plc as forward purchaser relating to the sale of 1,049,116 shares of common stock under the PNMR 2022 ATM Program (the “2023 Q2 Forward Sale Agreements”). The average initial forward sale price of $45.49 per share is subject to adjustments based on a net interest rate factor and by future dividends paid on PNMR common stock as specified in the 2023 Q2 Forward Sale Agreements. During the third quarter of 2023, PNMR entered into an additional forward sale agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as forward purchaser relating to the sale of 2,283,860 shares of common stock under the PNMR 2022 ATM Program (the “2023 Q3 Forward Sale Agreement”, and together with the 2023 Q1 Forward Sale Agreements and the 2023 Q2 Forward Sale Agreements, the “2023 Forward Sale Agreements”). The average initial forward sale price of $44.03 per share is subject to adjustments based on a net interest rate factor and by future dividends paid on PNMR common stock as specified in the 2023 Q3 Forward Sale Agreement. PNMR did not initially receive any proceeds upon the execution of the 2023 Forward Sale Agreements and, except in certain specified circumstances, has the option to elect physical, cash, or net share settlement of the forward sale agreements on or before a date that is 12 months from the agreement effective dates. The Company expects to receive proceeds from the sale of shares upon future physical settlement(s) of the 2023 Forward Sale Agreements, in which case the Company will deliver newly issued shares to the forward purchasers in exchange for cash in an amount equal to the number of shares delivered multiplied by the then-applicable forward sale price. PNMR also has the option to net settle the agreements in cash or shares of PNMR common stock. Under a net cash settlement, under which no PNMR common stock would be issued, PNMR would receive net proceeds for a decrease in the market value of PNMR’s common stock relative to the then-applicable forward sales price per share, or would owe cash in the event of an increase in the market value of PNMR common stock. Under a net share settlement, PNMR would not receive any cash proceeds and may be required to deliver a sufficient number of shares of PNMR common stock to satisfy its obligation to the forward purchasers. The number of shares to be delivered to the forward purchasers would be based on the increase in PNMR’s common stock price relative to the then-applicable forward sales price per share. The forward sale agreements meet the derivative scope exception requirements for contracts involving an entity’s own equity. Until settlement of the forward sale agreements, PNMR’s EPS dilution resulting from the agreements, if any, will be determined using the treasury stock method, which will result in dilution during periods when the average market price of PNMR stock during the reporting period is higher than the applicable forward sales price as of the end of that period. As of September 30, 2023, all $200.0 million of common stock available for sale under the PNMR 2022 ATM Program has been sold, thus concluding the program, and no shares have been settled under the 2023 Forward Sale Agreements. On August 5, 2022, PNM entered into a $225.0 million delayed-draw term loan agreement (the “PNM 2022 Delayed-Draw Term Loan”), among PNM, the lenders parties thereto, and Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent. PNM initially drew $180.0 million to repay the $75.0 million PNM 2021 Term Loan ahead of its December 2022 maturity and for other corporate purposes. On September 30, 2022, PNM drew the remaining $45.0 million and used the proceeds for general corporate purposes. Draws on the PNM 2022 Delayed-Draw Term Loan bear interest at a variable rate, which was 6.18% at September 30, 2023 and must be repaid on or before February 5, 2024. On April 27, 2022, TNMP entered into an agreement (the “TNMP 2022 Bond Purchase Agreement”) with institutional investors for the sale of $160.0 million aggregate principal amount of two series of TNMP first mortgage bonds (the “TNMP 2022 Bonds”) offered in private placement transactions. TNMP issued the first series of $65.0 million of the TNMP 2022 Bonds on May 12, 2022, at a 4.13% interest rate, due May 12, 2052, and the second series of $95.0 million of the TNMP 2022 Bonds on July 28, 2022, at a 3.81% interest rate, due July 28, 2032. The proceeds were used to repay borrowings under the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility and for other corporate purposes. The TNMP 2022 Bonds are subject to continuing compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the supplemental indentures governing the TNMP 2022 Bonds. The terms of the supplemental indentures governing the TNMP 2022 Bonds include the customary covenants discussed above. In the event of a change of control, TNMP will be required to offer to prepay the TNMP 2022 Bonds at par. However, the definition of change of control in the supplemental indentures governing the TNMP 2022 Bonds will not be triggered by the close of the Merger. TNMP has the right to redeem any or all of the TNMP 2022 Bonds prior to their maturity, subject to payment of a customary make-whole premium. At December 31, 2021, PNM had $104.5 million PCRBs outstanding with a mandatory remarketing date of June 1, 2022, consisting of $36.0 million at 1.05% issued by the Maricopa County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation with a final maturity of January 2038; $37.0 million at 2.125% issued by the City of Farmington, New Mexico with a final maturity of June 2040; $11.5 million at 1.20% issued by the City of Farmington, New Mexico with a final maturity of June 2040; and $20.0 million at 2.45% issued by the City of Farmington, New Mexico with a final maturity of September 2042. On June 1, 2022, PNM remarketed to new investors the $36.0 million and $37.0 million series in the tax-exempt market at 3.00% with a mandatory put date of June 1, 2024. PNM purchased and redeemed the remaining two series of PCRBs, totaling $31.5 million, on June 1, 2022. At September 30, 2023, variable interest rates were 6.37% on the PNMR 2021 Delayed-Draw Term Loan that matures in May 2025, 6.77% on the PNMR 2023 Term Loan that matures in June 2026, and 6.18% on the PNM 2022 Delayed-Draw Term Loan that matures in February 2024. Hedging Arrangements PNMR has entered into hedging agreements that establish a fixed rate for the indicated amount of variable rate debt, above which a customary spread is applied, which is subject to change if there is a change in PNMR’s credit rating. As of September 30, 2023, PNMR’s hedging agreements are as follows:
|  |  |  | Variable Rate |  | Established
Effective Date |  | Maturity Date |  | Debt Hedged |  | Fixed Rate

These hedge agreements are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The fair value of these hedges was a gain of $14.0 million at September 30, 2023, $4.0 million of which is included in Other current assets and $10.0 million of which is included in Other deferred charges on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value was determined using Level 2 inputs under GAAP, including using forward SOFR curves under the mid-market convention to discount cash flows over the remaining term of the agreements. Short-term Debt and Liquidity Currently, the PNMR Revolving Credit Facility has a financing capacity of $300.0 million and the PNM Revolving Credit Facility has a financing capacity of $400.0 million. On May 20, 2022, both PNMR and PNM extended the facilities to October 31, 2024 with two one-year extension options that, if exercised, would extend the maturity through October 2026, subject to approval by a majority of the lenders. On January 26, 2023, PNMR and PNM exercised one of the one-year extension options in their respective agreements, extending their maturities through October 2025; provided that, effective November 1, 2024, the capacity of the PNMR Revolving Credit Facility will adjust to $285.0 million and the PNM Revolving Credit Facility will adjust to $380.0 million because one lender in each facility did not agree to the one-year extension through October 2025. Also on May 20, 2022, the $40.0 million PNM New Mexico Credit Facility was extended to May 20, 2026. On March 11, 2022, the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility, with a capacity of $75.0 million and secured by $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of TNMP first mortgage bonds, was amended to extend the maturity to September 23, 2024, with two one-year extension options that, if exercised, would extend the maturity to September 2026, subject to approval by a majority of the lenders. The amended TNMP Revolving Credit Facility also contained an accordion feature that would allow TNMP to increase the size of the revolver from $75.0 million to $100.0 million, subject to certain conditions. On May 13, 2022, TNMP exercised the accordion feature and increased the capacity of the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility to $100.0 million, secured by $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of TNMP first mortgage bonds. On January 26, 2023, TNMP exercised one of the one-year extension options on its credit facility, which extended the maturity to September 23, 2025. Variable interest rates under the PNMR, PNM, and TNMP revolving credit facilities are based on SOFR. Short-term debt outstanding consists of:
| September 30, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022
| Balance Outstanding |  | Weighted Average Interest Rate |  | Balance Outstanding |  | Weighted Average Interest Rate

In addition to the above borrowings, PNMR, PNM, and TNMP had letters of credit outstanding of $3.1 million, zero, and zero at September 30, 2023 that reduce the available capacity under their respective revolving credit facilities. PNMR also had $30.3 million of letters of credit outstanding under the WFB LOC Facility. The above table excludes intercompany debt. As of September 30, 2023, PNM, TNMP, and PNMR Development had zero, zero, and $0.1 million in intercompany borrowings from PNMR. As of December 31, 2022, neither PNM, TNMP, nor PNMR Development had any intercompany borrowings from PNMR. PNMR had zero and $5.3 million in intercompany borrowings from PNMR Development at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company’s debt arrangements have various maturities and expiration dates. PNM has $225.0 million from the PNM 2022 Delayed Draw Term Loan that is due in February 2024 and $198.0 million of PCRBs that mature in June 2024.
