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:

•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;

•federal and state regulatory or governmental actions, including the impact of legislation, and regulatory agency orders;

•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 impacts of changes in the tax code, including tax rates, minimum tax rates, and adjustments made to deferred tax assets and liabilities;

•the ability to complete construction of renewable generation and storage projects by planned in-service dates and within the cost targets set by regulators due to cost increases of and access to materials, equipment and commodities including due to tariffs, duties or other assessments, such as any additional tariffs resulting from U.S. Department of Commerce investigations into the sourcing of solar project materials and equipment from certain countries, labor issues or supply shortages, the ability to successfully resolve warranty issues or contract disputes, the ability to achieve the expected level of tax benefits based on tax guidelines and project costs, and the ability to efficiently utilize the renewable generation and storage project tax benefits for the benefit of customers;

•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;

•inflation and interest rates;

•disruptions to the supply of materials, equipment and commodities needed to construct solar generation and storage projects and maintain ongoing operations, including due to geopolitical issues, shortages, labor issues or transportation issues, which may, among other potential impacts, affect the ability to meet capacity requirements and result in increased capacity expense;

•possible changes to MISO’s methodology establishing capacity planning reserve margin and capacity accreditation requirements that may impact how and when new generating facilities such as IPL’s and WPL’s additional solar generation may be accredited with energy capacity and may require IPL and WPL to adjust their current resource plans, the need to add resources to comply with MISO’s proposal, or procure capacity in the market whereby such costs might not be recovered in rates;

NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Rates - Overall effective income tax rates, which were computed by dividing income tax expense (benefit) by income before income taxes, were as follows. The effective income tax rates were different than the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes, production tax credits, amortization of excess deferred taxes and the effect of rate-making on property-related differences. The increases in Alliant Energy’s and WPL’s overall effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 were primarily due to decreased amortization of excess deferred taxes primarily at WPL.


	Alliant Energy		IPL	WPL

	2022	2021		2022	2021	2022	2021
Overall income tax rate	4%	(19%)		(14%)	(17%)	19%	(29%)

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities -

Carryforwards - At March 31, 2022, carryforwards and expiration dates were estimated as follows (in millions):


	Range of Expiration Dates	Alliant Energy	IPL	WPL
Federal net operating losses	2037	$94	$87	$1
State net operating losses	2022-2042	578	13	2
Federal tax credits	2022-2042	589	369	197

Iowa Tax Reform - In March 2022, Iowa tax reform was enacted, which would reduce the current 9.8% Iowa corporate income tax rate beginning in 2023 if certain state income tax revenue triggers are satisfied. Annually, and by each November 1, the Iowa Department of Revenue will establish corporate income tax rates for the next tax year based on net corporate income tax receipts for the prior tax year. Rate reductions are currently expected to occur over a period of several years, with a target corporate income tax rate of 5.5%. Alliant Energy is currently unable to predict with certainty the timing or amount of any rate reductions. The majority of any reduction in income tax expense as a result of the lower Iowa corporate income tax rate is currently expected to reduce rates for IPL’s customers. In addition, after the 2023 corporate income tax rate is known in the fourth quarter of 2022, Alliant Energy currently expects to record a charge related to the remeasurement of accumulated deferred income tax assets at its non-utility businesses.

NOTE 9. BENEFIT PLANS

Table of Contents

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, performance shares, performance restricted stock units and restricted stock units were granted to key employees as follows. These shares and units will be paid out in shares of common stock, and are therefore accounted for as equity awards.


		Weighted Average
	Grants	Grant Date Fair Value
Performance shares	70,240	$54.45
Performance restricted stock units	80,252	56.62
Restricted stock units	74,360	56.62

As of March 31, 2022, 322,288 shares were included in the calculation of diluted EPS related to the nonvested equity awards.

NOTE 10. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Commodity Derivatives -

Notional Amounts - As of March 31, 2022, 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):


	FTRs		Natural Gas		Coal		Diesel Fuel
		MWhs	Years	Dths	Years	Tons	Years	Gallons	Years
Alliant Energy		3,304	2022	175,658	2022-2030	2,653	2022-2023	2,268	2022
IPL		784	2022	94,175	2022-2030	1,053	2022-2023	—	—
WPL		2,520	2022	81,483	2022-2030	1,600	2022-2023	2,268	2022

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
	March 31, 2022	December 31, 2021	March 31, 2022	December 31, 2021	March 31, 2022	December 31, 2021
Current derivative assets	$151	$113	$68	$48	$83	$65
Non-current derivative assets	110	63	59	36	51	27
Current derivative liabilities	6	8	3	4	3	4
Non-current derivative liabilities	1	1	1	—	—	1

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s derivative assets increased primarily as a result of higher natural gas prices. Based on IPL’s and WPL’s natural gas cost recovery mechanisms, this resulted in corresponding increases in derivative regulatory liabilities on the balance sheets.

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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral (receivable) or 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 12(c) Guarantees and Indemnifications -

Whiting Petroleum - Whiting Petroleum is an independent oil and gas company. In 2004, Alliant Energy sold its remaining interest in Whiting Petroleum. 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 multiple general partnership agreements in the oil and gas industry. The guarantees do not include a maximum limit. Based on information made available to Alliant Energy by Whiting Petroleum, the Whiting Petroleum affiliate holds an approximate 6% share in the partnerships, and currently known obligations include costs associated with the future abandonment of certain facilities owned by the partnerships. The general partnerships were formed under California law, and Alliant Energy Resources, LLC may need to perform under the guarantees if the affiliate of Whiting Petroleum is unable to meet its partnership obligations.


			19

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2022, the currently known partnership obligations for the abandonment obligations are estimated at $60 million, which represents Alliant Energy’s currently estimated maximum exposure under the guarantees. Alliant Energy estimates its expected loss to be a portion of the $60 million of known partnership abandonment obligations of the Whiting Petroleum affiliate and the other partners. Alliant Energy is not aware of any material liabilities related to these guarantees that it is probable that it will be obligated to pay; however, as of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, a liability of $5 million is recorded in “Other liabilities” on Alliant Energy’s balance sheets for expected credit losses related to the contingent obligations that are in the scope of these guarantees.

Non-utility Wind Farm in Oklahoma - In 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 $67 million as of March 31, 2022 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

NOTE 12(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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, such amounts for WPL were not material.


	Alliant Energy			IPL
Range of estimated future costs	$10	-	$26	$7	-	$20
Current and non-current environmental liabilities	$12			$9

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 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 and electric and gas distribution systems 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.

NOTE 12(e) Collective Bargaining Agreements - At March 31, 2022, employees covered by collective bargaining agreements represented 55%, 70% and 83% of total employees of Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL, respectively. In May 2022, WPL’s collective bargaining agreement with International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 965 expires, representing 26% and 83% of total employees of Alliant Energy and WPL, respectively. While the process to renew the agreement is underway and a tentative agreement has been reached, Alliant Energy and WPL are currently unable to predict the outcome.

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 2021 Form 10-K. Unless otherwise noted, all “per share” references in MDA refer to earnings per diluted share.

2022 HIGHLIGHTS

Key highlights since the filing of the 2021 Form 10-K include the following:

Customer Investments:

•In response to a petition from a U.S.-based solar panel assembler, in March 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce initiated an investigation into whether the sourcing of solar project materials and equipment from certain Southeast Asian countries circumvent tariffs and duties imposed on such materials and equipment imported from China. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL are currently unable to predict with certainty the future outcome or impact of these matters; however, this could result in delays and/or higher costs for IPL’s and WPL’s planned development and acquisition of additional renewable energy, and impact Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s anticipated future construction and acquisition expenditures.

•In April 2022, the IUB issued an order approving IPL’s request for an extension of the procedural schedule related to its November 2021 advance rate-making principles filing with the IUB for up to 400 MW of new solar generation and 75 MW of battery storage. IPL requested an extension in order to review the proposed fixed cost cap included in its November 2021 filing given the cost pressures prevalent in the solar generation and battery storage markets, as well as narrow the selection of certain solar generation projects included in the filing. IPL currently expects a decision on its advance rate-making principles filing by the end of 2022.

•In April 2022, WPL received an oral decision from the PSCW for its second certificate of authority authorizing WPL to acquire, construct, own, and operate up to 414 MW of new solar generation in the following Wisconsin counties: Dodge (150 MW), Waushara (99 MW), Rock (65 MW), Grant (50 MW) and Green (50 MW).

Legislative Matters:

•Refer to Note 8 for discussion of Iowa tax reform enacted in March 2022.

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.


			22

Table of Contents

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 three months ended March 31 were as follows (dollars in millions, except per share amounts):


	2022		2021
	Income	EPS	Income (Loss)	EPS

Utilities and Corporate Services	$183	$0.73	$166	$0.66
ATC Holdings	8	0.03	8	0.03
Non-utility and Parent	1	0.01	(3)	(0.01)


Alliant Energy Consolidated	$192	$0.77	$171	$0.68

Alliant Energy’s Utilities and Corporate Services net income increased by $17 million for the three-month period, primarily due to higher AFUDC, higher earnings resulting from WPL’s increasing rate base, higher sales due to favorable temperature impacts compared to 2021, as well as higher temperature-normalized sales.

For the three months ended March 31, operating income and a reconciliation of utility electric and gas margins to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, operating income, was as follows (in millions):

Sales Trends and Temperatures - Alliant Energy’s retail electric and gas sales volumes increased 2% and 11%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to changes in temperatures, COVID-19 impacts in 2021 and increases in the number of customers.

Estimated increases to electric and gas margins from the impacts of temperatures for the three months ended March 31 were as follows (in millions):


	Electric Margins			Gas Margins

	2022	2021	Change		2022	2021	Change
IPL	$5	$2	$3		$3	$2	$1
WPL	2	1	1		1	—	1
Total Alliant Energy	$7	$3	$4		$4	$2	$2

Electric Sales for Resale - Electric sales for resale volume changes were largely due to changes in sales in the wholesale energy markets operated by MISO. These changes are impacted by several factors, including the availability and dispatch of Alliant Energy’s EGUs and electricity demand within these wholesale energy markets. Changes in sales for resale revenues were largely offset by changes in fuel-related costs, and therefore, did not have a significant impact on electric margins.

Gas Transportation/Other - Gas transportation/other sales volume changes were largely due to changes in the gas volumes supplied to Alliant Energy’s natural gas-fired EGUs caused by the availability and dispatch of such EGUs. Changes in these transportation/other revenues did not have a significant impact on gas margins.

Utility Electric Margin Variances - The following items contributed to increased (decreased) utility electric margins for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 as follows (in millions):



	Alliant Energy	IPL	WPL
Higher revenue requirements at WPL due to increasing rate base (a)	$26	$—	$26


Higher revenues at IPL due to changes in credits on customers’ bills related to excess deferred income tax benefits amortization through the tax benefit rider (offset by changes in income tax)	6	6	—
Estimated changes in sales volumes caused by temperatures	4	3	1


Lower revenues at IPL due to changes in the renewable energy rider (offset by changes in income tax)	(12)	(12)	—
Lower revenues at IPL related to changes in recovery amounts for energy efficiency costs through the energy efficiency rider (mostly offset by changes in energy efficiency expense)	(2)	(2)	—


Other (includes higher temperature-normalized sales in 2022)	11	6	5
	$33	$1	$32

(a)In December 2021, the PSCW issued an order authorizing annual base rate increases of $114 million and $15 million for WPL’s retail electric and gas customers, respectively, covering the 2022/2023 forward-looking Test Period, which was based on a stipulated agreement between WPL and certain stakeholders. The key drivers for the annual base rate increases include higher retail fuel-related costs in 2022, lower excess deferred income tax benefits in 2022 and 2023 compared to 2021, and revenue requirement impacts of increasing electric and gas rate base, including investments in solar generation. Retail electric rate changes were effective on January 1, 2022 and extend through the end of 2023. Retail gas rate changes were effective on January 1, 2022 and extend through the end of 2022. The higher fuel expense costs are recognized in electric margin and the lower amount of excess deferred income tax benefits is recognized as a reduction in income tax.
