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 (Capital Impact) No material supply chain issues, adequate near-term supply of capital equipment
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

(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.
