FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements contained in this report that are not of historical fact are forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified as such because the statements include words such as “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “projections,” “estimate,” or other words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe future financial performance or plans or strategies are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such statements. Some, but not all, of the risks and uncertainties of Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL that could materially affect actual results include:
• | IPL’s and WPL’s ability to obtain adequate and timely rate relief to allow for, among other things, the recovery of and/or the return on costs, including fuel costs, operating costs, transmission costs, environmental compliance and remediation costs, deferred expenditures, deferred tax assets, tax expense, capital expenditures, and remaining costs related to EGUs that may be permanently closed, earning their authorized rates of return, and the payments to their parent of expected levels of dividends; |
• | federal and state regulatory or governmental actions, including the impact of energy, tax, financial and health care legislation, and regulatory agency orders; |
• | the impact of customer- and third party-owned generation, including alternative electric suppliers, in IPL’s and WPL’s service territories on system reliability, operating expenses and customers’ demand for electricity; |
• | the impact of energy efficiency, franchise retention and customer disconnects on sales volumes and margins; |
• | the impact that price changes may have on IPL’s and WPL’s customers’ demand for electric, gas and steam services and their ability to pay their bills; |
• | the ability to utilize tax credits and net operating losses generated to date, and those that may be generated in the future, before they expire; |
• | the direct or indirect effects resulting from terrorist incidents, including physical attacks and cyber attacks, or responses to such incidents; |
• | the impact of penalties or third-party claims related to, or in connection with, a failure to maintain the security of personally identifiable information, including associated costs to notify affected persons and to mitigate their information security concerns; |
• | employee workforce factors, including changes in key executives, ability to hire and retain employees with specialized skills, ability to create desired corporate culture, collective bargaining agreements and negotiations, work stoppages or restructurings; |
1 |
• | weather effects on results of utility operations; |
• | issues associated with environmental remediation and environmental compliance, including compliance with all environmental and emissions permits, the Coal Combustion Residuals Rule, future changes in environmental laws and regulations, including the EPA’s regulations for carbon dioxide emissions reductions from new and existing fossil-fueled EGUs, and litigation associated with environmental requirements; |
• | the ability to defend against environmental claims brought by state and federal agencies, such as the EPA, state natural resources agencies or third parties, such as the Sierra Club, and the impact on operating expenses of defending and resolving such claims; |
• | continued access to the capital markets on competitive terms and rates, and the actions of credit rating agencies; |
• | inflation and interest rates; |
• | the impact of the economy in IPL’s and WPL’s service territories and the resulting impacts on sales volumes, margins and the ability to collect unpaid bills; |
• | the ability to complete construction of wind projects within the cost caps set by regulators and to meet all requirements to qualify for the full level of production tax credits; |
• | changes in the price of delivered natural gas, purchased electricity and coal due to shifts in supply and demand caused by market conditions and regulations; |
• | disruptions in the supply and delivery of natural gas, purchased electricity and coal; |
• | changes in the price of transmission services and the ability to recover the cost of transmission services in a timely manner; |
• | the direct or indirect effects resulting from breakdown or failure of equipment in the operation of electric and gas distribution systems, such as mechanical problems and explosions or fires, and compliance with electric and gas transmission and distribution safety regulations; |
• | issues related to the availability and operations of EGUs, including start-up risks, breakdown or failure of equipment, performance below expected or contracted levels of output or efficiency, operator error, employee safety, transmission constraints, compliance with mandatory reliability standards and risks related to recovery of resulting incremental costs through rates; |
• | impacts that storms or natural disasters may have on Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s operations and recovery of costs associated with restoration activities, or on the operations of Alliant Energy’s investments; |
• | any material post-closing adjustments related to any past asset divestitures, including the sales of IPL’s Minnesota electric and natural gas assets, and Whiting Petroleum, which could result from, among other things, indemnification agreements, warranties, parental guarantees or litigation; |
• | Alliant Energy’s ability to sustain its dividend payout ratio goal; |
• | changes to costs of providing benefits and related funding requirements of pension and OPEB plans due to the market value of the assets that fund the plans, economic conditions, financial market performance, interest rates, life expectancies and demographics; |
• | material changes in employee-related benefit and compensation costs; |
• | risks associated with operation and ownership of non-utility holdings; |
• | changes in technology that alter the channels through which customers buy or utilize Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s or WPL’s products and services; |
• | impacts on equity income from unconsolidated investments due to further potential changes to ATC’s authorized return on equity; |
• | impacts of IPL’s future tax benefits from Iowa rate-making practices, including deductions for repairs expenditures, allocation of mixed service costs and state depreciation, and recoverability of the associated regulatory assets from customers, when the differences reverse in future periods; |
• | the impacts of adjustments made to deferred tax assets and liabilities from changes in the tax laws; |
• | changes to the creditworthiness of counterparties with which Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL have contractual arrangements, including participants in the energy markets and fuel suppliers and transporters; |
• | current or future litigation, regulatory investigations, proceedings or inquiries; |
• | reputational damage from negative publicity, protests, fines, penalties and other negative consequences resulting in regulatory and/or legal actions; |
• | the effect of accounting standards issued periodically by standard-setting bodies; |
• | the ability to successfully complete tax audits and changes in tax accounting methods with no material impact on earnings and cash flows; and |
• |
Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL each assume no obligation, and disclaim any duty, to update the forward-looking statements in this report, except as required by law.

INTERSTATE POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY
WISCONSIN POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY
COMBINED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NOTE 1(a) General - The interim unaudited Financial Statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the latest combined Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which unless otherwise noted are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows have been made. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. A change in management’s estimates or assumptions could have a material impact on financial condition and results of operations during the period in which such change occurred. Certain prior period amounts in the Financial Statements and Notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation for comparative purposes, including modifications to the presentation of cash receipts on sold receivables in the cash flows statements as discussed in Note 1(d).
NOTE 1(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents - At June 30, 2019, Alliant Energy’s and WPL’s cash and cash equivalents included $161.8 million and $160.4 million of money market fund investments, with interest rates of 2.4% and 2.4%, respectively.
NOTE 1(c) Leases - The determination of whether an arrangement qualifies as a lease occurs at the inception of the arrangement. Arrangements that qualify as leases are classified as either operating or finance. Operating and finance lease liabilities represent obligations to make payments arising from the lease. Operating and finance lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Leases with initial terms less than 12 months are not recognized as leases. For operating leases, an incremental borrowing rate, as determined at the lease commencement date, is used to determine the present value of the lease payments. For finance leases, the rate implicit in the lease is used to determine the present value of the lease payments. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Finance lease expense is comprised of depreciation and interest expenses. Finance lease assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the underlying asset or the lease term.
NOTE 1(d) New Accounting Standards -
Credit Losses - In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard requiring use of a current expected credit loss model rather than an incurred loss method, which is intended to result in more timely recognition of credit losses on trade receivables and certain other assets. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL will adopt this standard on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method of adoption, which requires cumulative effect adjustments to retained earnings on January 1, 2020 upon adoption. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on their financial statements.
Cloud Computing Arrangements - In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard that clarifies capitalization and presentation requirements of implementation costs incurred in cloud computing arrangements. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL will adopt this standard on January 1, 2020 and are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on their financial statements.
Leases - In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard requiring lease assets and lease liabilities, including operating leases, to be recognized on the balance sheet. The accounting for capital leases, now referred to as finance leases, remains unchanged with the adoption of this standard. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 using an optional transition approach and there was no cumulative effect adjustment to the balance sheets as of January 1, 2019. Prior period amounts have not been restated to reflect the adoption of this standard and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Upon transition to the new standard, Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL elected the land easement transition practical expedient, for which existing land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the original accounting standards did not need to be evaluated under the
12 |
new accounting standard. In addition, Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL evaluated land easements that were previously accounted for as leases and determined that the majority of these land easements relate to joint-use land sites, and do not meet the criteria for leases under the new accounting standard. Therefore, these land easement arrangements are no longer reflected as operating leases effective January 1, 2019. Refer to Note 7 for further discussion of leases.
Cash Flows Statements - On January 1, 2018, Alliant Energy and IPL adopted an accounting standard that requires classification of the consideration received for the beneficial interest obtained for transferring accounts receivable from IPL’s sales of accounts receivable program as an investing activity, instead of an operating activity. Alliant Energy and IPL currently use a method of presentation that allocates cash flows between operating and investing activities based on daily transactional activity. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, Alliant Energy and IPL initially utilized a method of presentation that allocated cash flows between operating and investing activities based on monthly transactional activity. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the change in method of presentation to daily transactional activity increased Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s operating cash flows by $339.4 million, and Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s operating cash flows increased to $274.4 million and $12.8 million, respectively.

IPL’s DAEC PPA Amendment - In January 2019, IPL incurred an obligation to make a September 2020 buyout payment of $110 million in exchange for shortening the term of IPL’s DAEC nuclear generation PPA by 5 years. The IUB approved placing the buyout payment in a regulatory asset account, which will be recovered from IPL’s retail customers over a 5-year period following the payment. The offsetting obligation has been discounted and is recorded in “Other liabilities” on Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s balance sheets.
Utility Rate Reviews
IPL’s Retail Electric Rate Review (2020 Forward-looking Test Period) - In March 2019, IPL filed a request with the IUB to increase annual electric base rates for its Iowa retail electric customers by $204 million, based on a 2020 forward-looking Test Period. The requested increase would take place in two phases, $90 million through interim rates and the remaining $114 million through final rates. The key drivers for IPL’s request included recovery of capital projects, including new wind generation. IPL currently expects the proposed retail electric base rate increase to be partially offset by cost reductions in non-base rate factors, including fuel-related and energy efficiency costs. IPL concurrently filed for interim retail electric rates based on 2018 historical data as adjusted for certain known and measurable changes occurring in the first quarter of 2019. An interim retail electric base rate increase of $90 million, on an annual basis, was implemented effective April 1, 2019.
13 |
Implementing interim rates does not require regulatory approval; however, interim rates are subject to refund pending the IUB’s final rate review decision.
Intervenor testimony was filed in August 2019 addressing, among other things, the return on common equity percentage used to calculate the interim rate increase implemented in April 2019. Intervenors have also filed testimony addressing various positions on rate design and revenue requirement, including authorized returns on production tax credits carryforwards, for final rates.
The IUB generally must decide on requests for retail rate changes within 10 months of the date of the application for which changes are filed. IPL currently expects a final decision from the IUB in the fourth quarter of 2019 on the interim rate increase, as well as the remaining $114 million of final rates, which would be effective in the first quarter of 2020.
IPL’s Retail Gas Rate Review (2020 Forward-looking Test Period) - In March 2019, IPL filed a request with the IUB to increase annual gas base rates for its Iowa retail gas customers by $21 million, based on a 2020 forward-looking Test Period. The key drivers for IPL’s request included recovery of capital projects. IPL currently expects the proposed retail gas base rate increase to be partially offset by cost reductions in non-base rate factors, including lower cost of gas sold and energy efficiency costs. IPL currently expects a decision from the IUB in the fourth quarter of 2019 with final rates effective in the first quarter of 2020.
NOTE 3. RECEIVABLES
Sales of Accounts Receivable - IPL maintains a Receivables Purchase and Sale Agreement (Receivables Agreement) whereby it may sell its customer accounts receivables, unbilled revenues and certain other accounts receivables to a third party through wholly-owned and consolidated special purpose entities.

Non-utility Transportation Acquisitions - In the first quarter of 2019, Alliant Energy, through its wholly-owned non-utility subsidiaries, completed acquisitions of freight management companies located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Stoughton, Wisconsin. These acquisitions were purchased for $21 million, including contingent consideration of $8 million, which is expected to be paid within two years. The purchase price was largely allocated to intangibles and the remainder was allocated to working capital and property.

NOTE 10(b) Equity-based Compensation Plans - A summary of compensation expense, including amounts allocated to IPL and WPL, and the related income tax benefits recognized for share-based compensation awards for the three and six months ended June 30 was as follows (in millions):
Alliant Energy | IPL | WPL | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Three Months | Six Months | Three Months | Six Months | Three Months | Six Months | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2019 | 2018 | 2019 | 2018 | 2019 | 2018 | 2019 | 2018 | 2019 | 2018 | 2019 | 2018 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Compensation expense | $3.4 | $5.1 | $8.1 | $8.4 | $1.9 | $2.8 | $4.5 | $4.6 | $1.4 | $2.1 | $3.2 | $3.4 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Income tax benefits | 1.0 | 1.5 | 2.3 | 2.4 | 0.5 | 0.9 | 1.3 | 1.4 | 0.4 | 0.5 | 0.9 | 0.9 |
As of June 30, 2019, Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation awards was $10.3 million, $5.7 million and $4.2 million, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of between 1 and 2 years.
In the first quarter of 2019, performance shares, performance restricted stock units and restricted stock units were granted to key employees and will be paid out in shares, and are therefore accounted for as equity awards. The 2019 performance shares contain a market condition based on total shareowner return relative to an investor-owned utility peer group. The fair value of each performance share is based on the fair value of the underlying common stock on the grant date and the probability of satisfying the market condition contained in the agreement during a 3-year performance period. In the first quarter of 2019, 80,837 performance shares were granted with a grant date fair value of $46.35. The 2019 performance restricted stock units will vest based on the achievement of certain targets (specified growth of consolidated net income from continuing operations) during a 3-year performance period. The actual number of performance shares and performance restricted units that will be paid out upon vesting is dependent upon actual performance and may range from zero to 200% of the target number of shares or units, as applicable. The 2019 restricted stock units will vest based on the expiration of a 3-
22 |
year time-vesting period. In the first quarter of 2019, 80,837 performance restricted stock units and 95,938 restricted stock units were granted with a grant date fair value of $45.63, which is based on the closing market price of one share of Alliant Energy’s common stock on the grant date of the award. As of June 30, 2019, an immaterial amount of shares was included in the calculation of diluted EPS related to the nonvested equity awards.
NOTE 11. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
A reconciliation of the changes in asset retirement obligations associated with long-lived assets for the six months ended June 30, 2019 is as follows (in millions):
Alliant Energy | IPL | ||||||

Accretion expense | 3.4 | 2.2 | |||||
Balance, June 30 | $203.2 | $143.0 |
(a) | During the six months ended June 30, 2019, Alliant Energy and IPL recognized additional asset retirement obligations related to IPL’s newly constructed Upland Prairie and English Farms wind sites. The increases in asset retirement obligations resulted in corresponding increases in property, plant and equipment, net on the respective balance sheets. |
NOTE 12. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Commodity Derivatives -
Notional Amounts - As of June 30, 2019, gross notional amounts and settlement/delivery years related to outstanding swap contracts, option contracts, physical forward contracts and FTRs that were accounted for as commodity derivative instruments were as follows (units in thousands):

Financial Statement Presentation - Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value each reporting date on the balance sheets as assets or liabilities as follows (in millions):
Alliant Energy | IPL | WPL | |||||||||||||||||||||
June 30, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | June 30, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | June 30, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | ||||||||||||||||||
Current derivative assets | $18.4 | $24.6 | $12.0 | $16.1 | $6.4 | $8.5 | |||||||||||||||||
Non-current derivative assets | 3.5 | 3.7 | 1.9 | 1.6 | 1.6 | 2.1 | |||||||||||||||||
Current derivative liabilities | 12.9 | 5.6 | 5.8 | 3.1 | 7.1 | 2.5 | |||||||||||||||||
Non-current derivative liabilities | 15.1 | 17.7 | 6.4 | 8.1 | 8.7 | 9.6 |
Credit Risk-related Contingent Features - Various agreements contain credit risk-related contingent features, including requirements to maintain certain credit ratings and/or limitations on liability positions under the agreements based on credit ratings. Certain of these agreements with credit risk-related contingency features are accounted for as derivative instruments. In the event of a material change in creditworthiness or if liability positions exceed certain contractual limits, credit support may need to be provided in the form of letters of credit or cash collateral up to the amount of exposure under the contracts, or the contracts may need to be unwound and underlying liability positions paid. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features in a net liability position was not materially different than amounts that would be required to be posted as credit support to counterparties by Alliant Energy, IPL or WPL if the most restrictive credit risk-related contingent features for derivative agreements in a net liability position were triggered.
Balance Sheet Offsetting - The fair value amounts of derivative instruments subject to a master netting arrangement are not netted by counterparty on the balance sheets. However, if the fair value amounts of derivative instruments by counterparty were netted, amounts would not be materially different from gross amounts of derivative assets and derivative liabilities at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral (receivable) or
23 |
the obligation to return cash collateral (payable) are not offset against fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement.

NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
NOTE 14(a) Capital Purchase Commitments - Various contractual obligations contain minimum future commitments related to capital expenditures for certain construction projects. IPL’s projects include the expansion of wind generation. WPL’s projects include the West Riverside Energy Center. At June 30, 2019, Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s minimum future commitments for these projects were $268 million, $237 million and $31 million, respectively.
NOTE 14(b) Other Purchase Commitments - Various commodity supply, transportation and storage contracts help meet obligations to provide electricity and natural gas to utility customers. In addition, there are various purchase commitments associated with other goods and services. At June 30, 2019, the related minimum future commitments were as follows (in millions):
Alliant Energy | IPL | WPL | |||||||||
Purchased power (a) | $184 | $183 | $1 | ||||||||
Natural gas | 925 | 460 | 465 | ||||||||

$1,327 | $773 | $543 |
(a) | Includes payments required by PPAs for capacity rights and minimum quantities of MWhs required to be purchased. As a result of an amendment to shorten the term of the DAEC PPA, Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s amounts include minimum future commitments related to IPL’s purchase of capacity and the resulting energy from DAEC through September 2020, and do not include the September 2020 buyout payment of $110 million. |
(b) | Corporate Services entered into system-wide coal contracts on behalf of IPL and WPL that include minimum future commitments. These commitments were assigned to IPL and WPL based on information available as of June 30, 2019 regarding expected future usage, which is subject to change. |
(c) | Includes individual commitments incurred during the normal course of business that exceeded $1 million at June 30, 2019. |
NOTE 14(c) Guarantees and Indemnifications -
Whiting Petroleum - In 2004, Alliant Energy sold its remaining interest in Whiting Petroleum. Whiting Petroleum is an independent oil and gas company. Alliant Energy Resources, LLC, as the successor to a predecessor entity that owned Whiting Petroleum, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEF, continues to guarantee the partnership obligations of an affiliate of Whiting Petroleum under general partnership agreements in the oil and gas industry, including with respect to the future abandonment of certain platforms off the coast of California and related onshore plant and equipment owned by the
26 |
partnerships. The guarantees do not include a maximum limit. As of June 30, 2019, the present value of the abandonment obligations is estimated at $37 million. Alliant Energy is not aware of any material liabilities related to these guarantees of which it is probable that Alliant Energy Resources, LLC will be obligated to pay and therefore has not recognized any material liabilities related to these guarantees as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Non-utility Wind Farm in Oklahoma - In July 2017, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEF acquired a cash equity ownership interest in a non-utility wind farm located in Oklahoma. The wind farm provides electricity to a third-party under a long-term PPA. Alliant Energy provided a parent guarantee of its subsidiary’s indemnification obligations under the related operating agreement and PPA. Alliant Energy’s obligations under the operating agreement were $90 million as of June 30, 2019 and will reduce annually until expiring in July 2047. Alliant Energy’s obligations under the PPA are subject to a maximum limit of $17 million and expire in December 2031, subject to potential extension. Alliant Energy is not aware of any material liabilities related to this guarantee that it is probable that it will be obligated to pay and therefore has not recognized any material liabilities related to this guarantee as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
IPL’s Minnesota Electric Distribution Assets - IPL provided indemnifications associated with the 2015 sale of its Minnesota electric distribution assets for losses resulting from potential breach of IPL’s representations, warranties and obligations under the sale agreement. Alliant Energy and IPL believe the likelihood of having to make any material cash payments under these indemnifications is remote. IPL has not recorded any material liabilities related to these indemnifications as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The general terms of the indemnifications provided by IPL included a maximum limit of $17 million and expire in October 2020.
NOTE 14(d) Environmental Matters -
Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) Sites - IPL and WPL have current or previous ownership interests in various sites that are previously associated with the production of gas for which IPL and WPL have, or may have in the future, liability for investigation, remediation and monitoring costs. IPL and WPL are working pursuant to the requirements of various federal and state agencies to investigate, mitigate, prevent and remediate, where necessary, the environmental impacts to property, including natural resources, at and around these former MGP sites in order to protect public health and the environment. At June 30, 2019, estimated future costs expected to be incurred for the investigation, remediation and monitoring of the MGP sites, as well as environmental liabilities recorded on the balance sheets for these sites, which are not discounted, were as follows (in millions). At June 30, 2019, such amounts for WPL were not material.

Current and non-current environmental liabilities | 19 | 16 |
IPL Consent Decree - In 2015, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa approved a Consent Decree that IPL entered into with the EPA, the Sierra Club, the State of Iowa and Linn County in Iowa, thereby resolving potential Clean Air Act issues associated with emissions from IPL’s coal-fired generating facilities in Iowa. IPL has completed various requirements under the Consent Decree. IPL’s remaining requirements include fuel switching or retiring Burlington by December 31, 2021 and Prairie Creek Units 1 and 3 by December 31, 2025. Alliant Energy and IPL currently expect to recover material costs incurred by IPL related to compliance with the terms of the Consent Decree from IPL’s electric customers.
Other Environmental Contingencies - In addition to the environmental liabilities discussed above, various environmental rules are monitored that may have a significant impact on future operations. Several of these environmental rules are subject to legal challenges, reconsideration and/or other uncertainties. Given uncertainties regarding the outcome, timing and compliance plans for these environmental matters, the complete financial impact of each of these rules is not able to be determined; however future capital investments and/or modifications to EGUs to comply with certain of these rules could be significant. Specific current, proposed or potential environmental matters include, among others: Effluent Limitation Guidelines, Coal Combustion Residuals Rule, and various legislation and EPA regulations to monitor and regulate the emission of greenhouse gases, including the Clean Air Act.
Clean Air Act Section 111(d) - In July 2019, the EPA published the final Affordable Clean Energy rule, which repeals the Clean Power Plan effective September 6, 2019. The final rule establishes emission guidelines for states to develop plans by July 2022 to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from existing coal-fired EGUs, and is subject to legal challenges. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL are currently unable to predict with certainty the final outcome or impact of these matters.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This MDA includes information relating to Alliant Energy, and IPL and WPL (collectively, the Utilities), as well as ATC Holdings, AEF and Corporate Services. Where appropriate, information relating to a specific entity has been segregated and labeled as such. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the Notes included in this report, as well as the financial statements, notes and MDA included in the 2018 Form 10-K. Unless otherwise noted, all “per share” references in MDA refer to earnings per diluted share.
2019 HIGHLIGHTS
• | In March 2019, IPL filed requests with the IUB to increase annual base rates for its Iowa retail electric and gas customers, which were based on a forward-looking test period that includes 2020. IPL concurrently filed for interim retail electric rates based on a 2018 historical Test Year, which were implemented effective April 1, 2019. Intervenor testimony was filed in August 2019 addressing, among other things, the return on common equity percentage used to calculate the interim rate increase, as well as various positions on rate design and revenue requirement, including authorized returns on production tax credits carryforwards, for final rates. Refer to Note 2 for details. |
• | In March 2019, IPL placed approximately 470 megawatts of new wind generation in service at the Upland Prairie and English Farms wind sites. IPL’s retail electric customers began to see the rate impacts of this renewable generation with the interim electric rates effective April 1, 2019. |
• | In March 2019, the IUB approved IPL’s energy efficiency plan for 2019 through 2023, which provides direct financial savings to customers and provides cost-effective options to help electric and gas customers reduce their energy usage. The energy efficiency costs, which are lower than previous energy efficiency plans, are reflected on electric customer bills beginning June 2019. |
• | In January and March 2019, AEF, a subsidiary of Alliant Energy, purchased two freight management companies. These non-utility acquisitions enhance Alliant Energy’s Transportation value to customers by adding customized supply chain solution capabilities to their portfolio of service offerings. Refer to Note 4 for details. |
• | The installation of a selective catalytic reduction system at IPL’s Ottumwa Unit 1 was completed in the first quarter of 2019, which supports compliance obligations under the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule and IPL’s Consent Decree. |
30 |
• | In April 2019, IPL issued $300 million of 3.60% senior debentures due 2029. The senior debentures were issued as green bonds, and all of the net proceeds were allocated for the construction and development of IPL’s wind projects. |
• | In June 2019, WPL issued $350 million of 3.00% debentures due 2029. The net proceeds from the issuance were used by WPL to reduce its outstanding commercial paper and retire its $250 million 5% debentures that matured in July 2019. |
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of operations include financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP as well as utility electric margins and utility gas margins, which are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. Utility electric margins are defined as electric revenues less electric production fuel, purchased power and electric transmission service expenses. Utility gas margins are defined as gas revenues less cost of gas sold. Utility electric margins and utility gas margins are non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude other utility and non-utility revenues, other operation and maintenance expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses, and taxes other than income tax expense.
Management believes that utility electric and gas margins provide a meaningful basis for evaluating and managing utility operations since electric production fuel, purchased power and electric transmission service expenses and cost of gas sold are generally passed through to customers, and therefore, result in changes to electric and gas revenues that are comparable to changes in such expenses. The presentation of utility electric and gas margins herein is intended to provide supplemental information for investors regarding operating performance. These utility electric and gas margins may not be comparable to how other entities define utility electric and gas margin. Furthermore, these measures are not intended to replace operating income as determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of operating performance.
Additionally, the table below includes EPS for Utilities and Corporate Services, ATC Holdings, and Non-utility and Parent, which are non-GAAP financial measures. 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.
Financial Results Overview - Alliant Energy’s net income and EPS attributable to Alliant Energy common shareowners for the second quarter were as follows (dollars in millions, except per share amounts):
2019 | 2018 | ||||||||||||||
Income (Loss) | EPS | Income (Loss) | EPS | ||||||||||||
Utilities and Corporate Services | $90.1 | $0.38 | $94.8 | $0.41 | |||||||||||
ATC Holdings | 7.5 | 0.03 | 6.7 | 0.03 | |||||||||||
Non-utility and Parent | (3.0 | ) | (0.01 | ) | (1.1 | ) | (0.01 | ) | |||||||
Alliant Energy Consolidated | $94.6 | $0.40 | $100.4 | $0.43 |
Alliant Energy’s Utilities and Corporate Services net income decreased by $5 million for the three-month period, primarily due to lower retail electric sales due to cooler temperatures in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period last year, higher depreciation expense and timing of income tax expense. These items were partially offset by higher margins resulting from IPL’s and WPL’s increasing rate base.
