Second quarter GAAP earnings impacted by non-recurring charges related to IPL settlement and revised EPA rules

Reaffirming full year earnings guidance of $2.99 - $3.13

Regulatory progress and data center opportunities position us for long-term growth

Alliant Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:LNT) today announced U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and non-GAAP consolidated unaudited earnings per share (EPS) for the three months ended June 30 as follows:

	GAAP EPS						Non-GAAP EPS
		2024			2023			2024			2023
Utilities and Corporate Services	$	0.33		$	0.65		$	0.56		$	0.65
American Transmission Company (ATC) Holdings		0.04			0.03			0.04			0.03
Non-utility and Parent		(0.03	)		(0.04	)		(0.03	)		(0.04	)
Alliant Energy Consolidated	$	0.34		$	0.64		$	0.57		$	0.64

"We are pleased with the outcome of the settlement in our Iowa rate review and confident about the positive impact it will have promoting load growth while delivering consistent earnings and ensuring base rate stability for our customers," said Lisa Barton, Alliant Energy President and CEO. "Excluding timing of income taxes, which will reverse by year-end, and temperature impacts, our ongoing results for the first half of 2024 were in line with our expectations. Through regulatory progress and strong economic growth with data centers, we believe we are positioned to achieve our long-term growth objectives."

Utilities and Corporate Services - Alliant Energy's Utilities and Alliant Energy Corporate Services, Inc. (Corporate Services) operations generated $0.33 per share of GAAP EPS in the second quarter of 2024, which was $0.32 per share lower than the second quarter of 2023. The primary drivers of lower EPS were an asset impairment charge for Interstate Power and Light Company's (IPL's) Lansing Generating Station as a result of the proposed rate review settlement, an asset retirement obligation charge allocated to the steam business at IPL due to the revised Coal Combustion Residuals Rule, the timing of income taxes, higher financing and depreciation expenses, estimated temperature impacts on retail electric and gas sales, and Wisconsin Power and Light Company (WPL) electric fuel-related costs, net of recoveries. These items were partially offset by higher revenue requirements from capital investments at WPL.

Earnings Adjustments - Non-GAAP EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 excludes the asset valuation charge for IPL's Lansing Generating Station as a result of the rate review settlement and an asset retirement obligation charge for steam assets at IPL due to the revised Coal Combustion Residuals Rule. Non-GAAP adjustments, which relate to material charges or income that are not normally associated with ongoing operations, are provided as a supplement to results reported in accordance with GAAP.

Estimated Temperature Impacts to Non-GAAP EPS - The estimated year-to-date impact of temperatures on EPS compared to normal temperatures is a $0.10 per share loss in 2024.

Details regarding GAAP EPS variances between the second quarters of 2024 and 2023 for Alliant Energy are as follows:

	Variance
Asset valuation charge for IPL's Lansing Generating Station	($0.17	)
Revenue requirements from capital investments at WPL	0.12
Timing of income taxes	(0.06	)
Asset retirement obligation charge for steam assets at IPL	(0.06	)
Higher financing expense	(0.04	)
Higher depreciation expense	(0.04	)
Estimated temperature impacts on retail electric and gas sales	(0.02	)
WPL electric fuel-related costs, net of recoveries	(0.02	)
Other	(0.01	)
Total	($0.30	)

Asset valuation charge for IPL's Lansing Generating Station - In May 2023, IPL retired the Lansing Generating Station. IPL's retail electric rate review for the October 2024 through September 2025 forward-looking Test Period included a request for continued recovery of and a return on the remaining net book value of Lansing through 2037. IPL's partial rate review settlement agreement filed with the Iowa Utilities Commission (IUC) in June 2024 includes a return of the remaining net book value of Lansing; however, the agreement does not include a return on the remaining net book value of Lansing. As a result, in the second quarter of 2024, a pre-tax non-cash charge of $60 million was recorded. A decision from the IUC on the settlement agreement is currently expected in the third quarter of 2024.

Revenue requirements from capital investments at WPL - In December 2023, WPL received an order from the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin authorizing annual base rate increases of $49 million and $13 million for its retail electric and gas rate review covering the 2024/2025 Test Period. WPL recognized a $0.12 per share increase in the second quarter of 2024 due to higher revenue requirements from increasing rate base, including investments in solar generation and battery storage.

Timing of income taxes - Income tax expense is recorded each quarter based on an estimated annual effective tax rate and the proportion of full year earnings generated each quarter, which causes fluctuations in the amount of tax expense quarter-over-quarter. The income tax expense timing resulted in lower earnings of $0.09 per share in the second quarter of 2024 compared to lower earnings of $0.03 per share in the second quarter of 2023. The income tax expense timing variance will reverse by the end of the year.

Asset retirement charge for steam assets at IPL - In the second quarter of 2024, substantially due to the enactment of the revised Coal Combustion Residuals Rule, which significantly expands the scope of regulation to include coal ash ponds at sites that no longer produce electricity and inactive landfills, including some IPL and WPL facilities, Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL recorded additional AROs, additional ARO regulatory assets for electric generating units (EGUs) no longer in operation, additional property, plant and equipment for EGUs still in operation, and a pre-tax non-cash charge of $20 million for the portion allocated to IPL's steam business for IPL's Prairie Creek Generating Station and IPL's retired Sixth Street Generating Station. IPL has two high-pressure steam customers under contract through 2025, after which time IPL expects to end the steam business.

Estimated temperature impacts on retail electric and gas sales - Temperature impacts of warmer than normal temperatures on customer demand resulted in a decrease of $0.02 per share in the second quarter of 2024. Temperatures had a minimal impact on Alliant Energy's retail electric and gas sales in the second quarter of 2023.

WPL electric fuel-related costs, net of recoveries - WPL recognized $0.02 per share of lower earnings from changes in WPL electric fuel-related costs since actual fuel and purchased power prices were higher than the 2024 fuel component of retail electric rates, compared to the second quarter of 2023 when actual fuel and purchased power prices were lower than the 2023 fuel component of retail electric rates.
