GAAP earnings per share were $2.78 in 2023 compared to $2.73 in 2022
Temperature-normalized non-GAAP earnings per share were $2.88 in 2023 compared to $2.73 in 2022, representing 5.5% growth
Affirmed 2024 earnings guidance range of $2.99 - $3.13 per share

Alliant Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:LNT) today announced U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and non-GAAP consolidated unaudited earnings per share (EPS) for 2023 and 2022 as follows:

	GAAP EPS						Non-GAAP EPS
		2023			2022			2023			2022
Utilities and Corporate Services	$	2.86		$	2.74		$	2.86		$	2.76
American Transmission Company (ATC) Holdings		0.14			0.12			0.14			0.14
Non-utility and Parent		(0.22	)		(0.13	)		(0.18	)		(0.10	)
Alliant Energy Consolidated	$	2.78		$	2.73		$	2.82		$	2.80

"For the 14th year in a row, we delivered on our 5-7% temperature normalized non-GAAP EPS growth range," said Lisa Barton, Alliant Energy President and CEO. "Looking forward to 2024, we are excited to complete approximately 1,500 megawatts of zero-fuel cost, zero-emissions solar generation for our customers and continuing to deliver on our commitments to our investors."

Utilities and Corporate Services - Alliant Energy's Utilities and Alliant Energy Corporate Services, Inc. (Corporate Services) operations generated $2.86 per share of GAAP EPS in 2023, which was $0.12 per share higher than 2022. The primary drivers of higher EPS were revenue requirements and allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) from capital investments and lower other operation and maintenance expenses at IPL and WPL. These items were partially offset by higher financing expense, lower retail electric and gas sales due to net temperature impacts, and higher depreciation expense.

Non-utility and Parent - Alliant Energy's Non-utility and Parent operations generated $(0.22) per share of GAAP EPS in 2023, which was $0.09 per share lower than 2022. The lower EPS was primarily driven by higher interest expense.

Earnings Adjustments - Non-GAAP EPS for 2023 and 2022 excludes $0.04 per share and $0.03 per share, respectively, of charges related to remeasurement of deferred tax assets due to Iowa state income tax rate changes for Alliant Energy's Non-utility and Parent. Non-GAAP EPS for 2022 also excludes $0.02 per share of charges related to retirement plan settlement losses for Alliant Energy's Utilities and Corporate Services and $0.02 per share of charges related to an ATC base return on equity (ROE) reserve adjustment. Non-GAAP adjustments, which relate to charges or income that are not normally associated with ongoing operations, are provided as a supplement to results reported in accordance with GAAP.

Estimated Net Temperature Impacts to Non-GAAP EPS - The estimated impacts of net temperatures on retail electric and gas sales were $0.06 per share loss in 2023 and $0.07 per share gain in 2022. The temperature-normalized non-GAAP EPS was $2.88 per share and $2.73 per share in 2023 and 2022, respectively, which represents 5.5% growth.

Details regarding GAAP EPS variances between 2023 and 2022 for Alliant Energy are as follows:

	Variance
Revenue requirements and higher AFUDC from capital investments	$	0.26
Higher financing expense		(0.21	)
Estimated net temperature impacts on retail electric and gas sales		(0.13	)
Lower other operation and maintenance expenses at IPL and WPL		0.07
Higher depreciation expense		(0.07	)
Non-GAAP adjustments in 2022		0.07
Non-GAAP adjustments in 2023		(0.04	)
Other		0.10
Total	$	0.05

Revenue requirements and higher AFUDC from capital investments - In December 2021, WPL received an order from the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) approving WPL's proposed settlement for its retail electric and gas rate review covering the 2022/2023 Test Period. In December 2022, WPL received an order from the PSCW approving an additional annual base rate increase of $9 million for WPL's retail gas customers covering the 2023 Test Period. WPL recognized a $0.14 per share increase in 2023 due to higher revenue requirements from increasing rate base, including investments in solar generation. Construction activity related to capital investments resulted in $0.03 and $0.09 per share higher AFUDC for IPL and WPL, respectively.

Higher financing expense - Interest expense, net resulted in $0.19 lower EPS. Total long-term debt increased due to additional financings in 2023 largely to fund capital expenditures, including the solar expansion program in Wisconsin. In addition, increases in short and long-term debt interest rates contributed to higher interest expense, net in 2023. Also, equity dilution resulted in $0.02 of lower EPS in 2023.

Non-GAAP adjustments in 2023 - Pursuant to Iowa tax reform enacted in 2022, in September 2023, the Iowa Department of Revenue announced an Iowa corporate income tax rate of 7.1%, effective January 1, 2024. In connection with the announced rate change, deferred income tax assets at the Non-Utility and Parent operations were remeasured. The announced change in the corporate income tax rate for 2024 resulted in a non-GAAP charge of $10 million or $0.04 per share in 2023, compared to a non-GAAP charge of $8 million or $0.03 per share recorded in 2022 related to the Iowa corporate income tax rate change effective January 1, 2023. The lower tax rate also resulted in reductions in regulatory assets recorded in 2023 and 2022 related to the remeasurement of deferred income tax liabilities at IPL, which is expected to provide cost benefits to its Iowa customers in the future.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding Alliant Energy's financial results, this press release includes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures include income and EPS for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 excluding charges related to retirement plan settlement losses and adjustments to the ATC ROE reserve. These measures also include income and EPS for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022 excluding charges related to remeasurement of deferred tax assets due to Iowa state income tax rate changes. Alliant Energy believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide an alternate measure to better understand and compare across periods the operating performance of Alliant Energy without the distortion of items that management believes are not normally associated with ongoing operations, and also provide additional information about Alliant Energy's operations on a basis consistent with the measures that management uses to manage its operations and evaluate its performance. Alliant Energy's management also uses income, as adjusted, to determine performance-based compensation.

In addition, Alliant Energy included in this press release IPL; WPL; Corporate Services; Utilities and Corporate Services; ATC Holdings; and Non-utility and Parent EPS for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Alliant Energy believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they facilitate an understanding of segment performance and trends, and provide additional information about Alliant Energy's operations on a basis consistent with the measures that management uses to manage its operations and evaluate its performance.

This press release also includes temperature-normalized non-GAAP EP for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Alliant Energy believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors because the measure facilitates period-to-period comparison of Alliant Energy's operating performance and provides investors with information on a basis consistent with measures that management uses to assess Alliant Energy's earnings growth rate.

The tax impact adjustments represent the impact of the tax effect of the pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments excluded from non-GAAP net income. The tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments is calculated based on the estimated consolidated statutory tax rate.

Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the earnings summaries that follow and in the case of temperature normalized non-GAAP EPS, in the press release above.

Note: Unless otherwise noted, all "per share" references in this release refer to earnings per diluted share.
