Leases [Abstract] |
Lease Commitments | Lease Commitments The Company enters into various lease agreements to meet its business needs and to satisfy the needs of its customers. The Company accounts for contracts that convey the use and control of identified assets for a period of time as leases. The Company classifies leases as operating or financing by evaluating the terms of the lease agreement. Agreements under which the Company is likely to utilize substantially all of the economic value or life of the asset or that the Company is likely to own at the end of the lease term, either through purchase or transfer of ownership, are classified as financing leases. Leases not meeting these criteria are accounted for as operating leases. Agreements under which the Company is a lessor are insignificant. TXNM, PNM, and TNMP determine present value for their leases using their incremental borrowing rates at the commencement date of the lease or, when readily available, the rate implicit in the agreement. The Company leases office buildings, vehicles, energy storage facilities, and other equipment. In addition, PNM had lease interests in PVNGS and certain rights-of-way agreements that are classified as leases. All of the Company’s leases with fixed-payment terms in excess of one year are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets by recording a present value lease liability and a corresponding right-of-use asset. Operating lease expense is recognized within operating expenses according to the use of the asset on a straight-line basis. Financing lease costs, which are comprised primarily of fleet and office equipment leases commencing after January 1, 2019, are recognized by amortizing the right-of-use asset on a straight-line basis and by recording interest expense on the lease liability. Financing lease right-of-use assets amortization is reflected in depreciation and amortization and interest on financing lease liabilities is reflected as interest charges on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings. PVNGS In 1985 and 1986, PNM entered into leases for its interest in PVNGS Unit 1 and 2. The leases initially were scheduled to expire in January 2015 for four Unit 1 leases and January 2016 for four Unit 2 leases. Following procedures set forth in the PVNGS leases, PNM notified four of the lessors under the Unit 1 leases and one lessor under the Unit 2 lease that it would elect to renew those leases on the expiration date of the original leases. The four Unit 1 leases expired in January 2023 and the one Unit 2 lease expired in January 2024. PNM has no further lease payments related to PVNGS Unit 1 or 2. On April 5, 2021, PNM and Salt River Project entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, pursuant to which PNM agreed to sell to Salt River Project certain PNM-owned assets and nuclear fuel necessary to the ongoing operation and maintenance of leased capacity in PVNGS Unit 1 and Unit 2. In January 2023, the Unit 1 leases expired, and PNM closed on the associated sale to Salt River Project, receiving payments of $33.7 million, of which $28.4 million was recorded as a reduction to Net utility plant on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is presented as cash flows from investing activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In addition, $5.3 million was recorded as a reduction to materials, supplies, and fuel stock on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is presented as cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In January 2024, the Unit 2 leases expired, and PNM closed on the associated sale to Salt River Project, receiving payments of $3.4 million, of which $2.8 million was recorded as a reduction to Net utility plant on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is presented as cash flows from investing activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In addition, $0.6 million was recorded as a reduction to Materials, supplies and fuel stock on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is presented as cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Land Easements and Rights-of-Ways Many of PNM’s electric transmission and distribution facilities are located on lands that require the grant of rights-of-way from governmental entities, Native American tribes, or private parties. PNM has completed several renewals of rights-of-way, the largest of which is a renewal with the Navajo Nation. PNM is obligated to pay the Navajo Nation annual payments of $6.0 million, subject to adjustment each year based on the Consumer Price Index, through 2029. PNM’s April 2024 payment for the amount due under the Navajo Nation right-of-way lease was $8.6 million, which included amounts due under the Consumer Price Index adjustment. Changes in the Consumer Price Index subsequent to January 1, 2019, are considered variable lease payments. PNM has other prepaid rights-of-way agreements that are not accounted for as leases or recognized as a component of plant in service. PNM reflects the unamortized balance of these prepayments in other deferred charges on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognizes amortization expense associated with these agreements in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings over their term. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the unamortized balance of these rights-of-ways was $67.1 million and $56.2 million. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, PNM recognized amortization expense associated with these agreements of $4.3 million, $3.5 million, and $3.8 million. Fleet Vehicles and Equipment Fleet vehicle and equipment leases commencing on or after January 1, 2019, are classified as financing leases. Fleet vehicle and equipment leases existing as of December 31, 2018, are classified as operating leases. The Company’s fleet vehicle and equipment lease agreements include non-lease components for insignificant administrative and other costs that are billed over the life of the agreement. At December 31, 2024, residual value guarantees on fleet vehicle and equipment leases are $0.7 million, $0.9 million, and $1.6 million for PNM, TNMP, and TXNM Consolidated. Energy Storage Agreements PNM has entered into various ESAs with fixed payments over the life of the agreements. These types of agreements are accounted for as operating leases. In the fourth quarter of 2024, an energy storage facility with an aggregate capacity of 100 MW began commercial operation and PNM recorded lease liabilities with a corresponding right-of-use asset of $101.5 million. PNM has also entered into ESAs with monthly payments that vary depending on the available capacity of the storage facility. These types of ESAs are accounted for as operating leases with variable consideration and do not require a lease liability or right-of-use asset. In the fourth quarter of 2024, a 300MW energy storage agreement with payments that depend on available capacity began commercial operation. The expense for this lease is reflected in variable lease expense in the tables below. In addition, the Company has elected to separate lease components from non-lease components for ESAs and accordingly, does not include non-lease components in the measurement of the lease liability or right-of-use asset. The non-lease components which are not included in the measurement of the lease liability or the corresponding right-of-use asset, comprises of 25.5% of the value of the agreements.

The above table includes $12.7 million, $10.4 million, and $23.3 million for PNM, TNMP, and TXNM at December 31, 2024 for expected future payments on fleet vehicle and equipment leases that could be avoided if the leased assets were returned and the lessor is able to recover estimated market value for the equipment from third parties. At December 31, 2024, the Company has various lease arrangements that have been executed but have not yet commenced, which are primarily related to ESAs. The Company currently expects lease commencement dates in 2025 and 2029, with lease terms expiring in 2044 and 2045, and will recognize lease assets and liabilities upon lease commencement. The expected total fixed consideration to be paid for these arrangements, which includes non-lease payments, is approximately $226.3 million over the 20-year terms of the agreements.

PVNGS In 1985 and 1986, PNM entered into leases for its interest in PVNGS Unit 1 and 2. The leases initially were scheduled to expire in January 2015 for four Unit 1 leases and January 2016 for four Unit 2 leases. Following procedures set forth in the PVNGS leases, PNM notified four of the lessors under the Unit 1 leases and one lessor under the Unit 2 lease that it would elect to renew those leases on the expiration date of the original leases. The four Unit 1 leases expired in January 2023 and the one Unit 2 lease expired in January 2024. PNM has no further lease payments related to PVNGS Unit 1 or 2. On April 5, 2021, PNM and Salt River Project entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, pursuant to which PNM agreed to sell to Salt River Project certain PNM-owned assets and nuclear fuel necessary to the ongoing operation and maintenance of leased capacity in PVNGS Unit 1 and Unit 2. In January 2023, the Unit 1 leases expired, and PNM closed on the associated sale to Salt River Project, receiving payments of $33.7 million, of which $28.4 million was recorded as a reduction to Net utility plant on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is presented as cash flows from investing activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In addition, $5.3 million was recorded as a reduction to materials, supplies, and fuel stock on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is presented as cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In January 2024, the Unit 2 leases expired, and PNM closed on the associated sale to Salt River Project, receiving payments of $3.4 million, of which $2.8 million was recorded as a reduction to Net utility plant on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is presented as cash flows from investing activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In addition, $0.6 million was recorded as a reduction to Materials, supplies and fuel stock on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is presented as cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

PNM is obligated to pay the Navajo Nation annual payments of $6.0 million, subject to adjustment each year based on the Consumer Price Index, through 2029. PNM’s April 2024 payment for the amount due under the Navajo Nation right-of-way lease was $8.6 million, which included amounts due under the Consumer Price Index adjustment. Changes in the Consumer Price Index subsequent to January 1, 2019, are considered variable lease payments. PNM has other prepaid rights-of-way agreements that are not accounted for as leases or recognized as a component of plant in service. PNM reflects the unamortized balance of these prepayments in other deferred charges on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognizes amortization expense associated with these agreements in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings over their term. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the unamortized balance of these rights-of-ways was $67.1 million and $56.2 million. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, PNM recognized amortization expense associated with these agreements of $4.3 million, $3.5 million, and $3.8 million. Fleet Vehicles and Equipment Fleet vehicle and equipment leases commencing on or after January 1, 2019, are classified as financing leases. Fleet vehicle and equipment leases existing as of December 31, 2018, are classified as operating leases. The Company’s fleet vehicle and equipment lease agreements include non-lease components for insignificant administrative and other costs that are billed over the life of the agreement. At December 31, 2024, residual value guarantees on fleet vehicle and equipment leases are $0.7 million, $0.9 million, and $1.6 million for PNM, TNMP, and TXNM Consolidated.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, an energy storage facility with an aggregate capacity of 100 MW began commercial operation and PNM recorded lease liabilities with a corresponding right-of-use asset of $101.5 million. PNM has also entered into ESAs with monthly payments that vary depending on the available capacity of the storage facility. These types of ESAs are accounted for as operating leases with variable consideration and do not require a lease liability or right-of-use asset.

The expected total fixed consideration to be paid for these arrangements, which includes non-lease payments, is approximately $226.3 million over the 20-year terms of the agreements.
