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 2020 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, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.

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.

NOTE 1(b) Asset Impairments -

Property, Plant and Equipment of Regulated Operations - In the second quarter of 2021, WPL received approval from MISO to retire Columbia Units 1 and 2, which had a net book value of approximately $475 million in aggregate as of June 30, 2021, and currently anticipates retiring Columbia Unit 1 by the end of 2023 and Columbia Unit 2 by the end of 2024. Alliant Energy and WPL concluded that Columbia Units 1 and 2 met the criteria to be considered probable of abandonment as of June 30, 2021. WPL is currently allowed a full recovery of and a full return on these EGUs from both its retail and wholesale customers, and as a result, Alliant Energy and WPL concluded that no disallowance was required as of June 30, 2021.

NOTE 2. REGULATORY MATTERS

Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities -

Regulatory assets were comprised of the following items (in millions):


	Alliant Energy		IPL		WPL
	June 30, 2021	December 31, 2020	June 30, 2021	December 31, 2020	June 30, 2021	December 31, 2020
Tax-related	$914	$890	$865	$843	$49	$47
Pension and OPEB costs	559	580	281	291	278	289

Assets retired early	103	113	72	77	31	36
IPL’s DAEC PPA amendment	102	110	102	110	—	—
WPL’s Western Wisconsin gas distribution expansion investments	54	55	—	—	54	55
Derivatives	3	26	2	13	1	13

Other	137	117	81	68	56	49
	$1,995	$2,010	$1,488	$1,483	$507	$527

Other - In February 2021, portions of the central and southern U.S., including Alliant Energy’s service territories, experienced a prolonged period of very cold temperatures and a series of winter storms. These events created significant volatility and increases in commodity prices caused by higher demand for electricity and natural gas and disruptions in commodity supply, resulting in IPL under-recovering its natural gas costs. In March 2021, IPL received approval from the IUB to spread recovery of these higher natural gas costs from its retail customers through December 2021. As of June 30, 2021, IPL’s cumulative under-collection of these natural gas costs was $14 million, which is included in “Other” regulatory assets in the above table. The extreme temperatures in February 2021 did not impact WPL’s natural gas costs and IPL’s and WPL’s fuel-related costs to the extent of IPL’s natural gas costs.

Other	51	73	17	43	34	30
	$1,254	$1,306	$647	$676	$607	$630

Tax-related - Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s tax-related regulatory liabilities are primarily related to excess deferred tax benefits resulting from the remeasurement of accumulated deferred income taxes caused by Federal Tax Reform. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s tax-related regulatory liabilities decreased primarily due to returning a portion of these excess deferred tax benefits back to customers.

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.

In April 2021, IPL amended and extended through March 2023 the purchase commitment from the third party to which it sells its receivables.

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 decreases in Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s overall effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 were primarily due to increased amortization of excess deferred taxes primarily at WPL, which were used to offset increases in WPL’s 2021 increased revenue requirements, and increased production tax credits at IPL.

NOTE 11. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Commodity Derivatives -

Notional Amounts - As of June 30, 2021, 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		16,242	2021-2022	179,960	2021-2028	5,148	2021-2023	4,284	2021-2022
IPL		4,936	2021-2022	94,049	2021-2028	1,946	2021-2023	—	—
WPL		11,306	2021-2022	85,911	2021-2027	3,202	2021-2023	4,284	2021-2022

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
	June 30, 2021	December 31, 2020	June 30, 2021	December 31, 2020	June 30, 2021	December 31, 2020
Current derivative assets	$77	$24	$41	$20	$36	$4
Non-current derivative assets	25	10	15	9	10	1
Current derivative liabilities	1	9	1	3	—	6
Non-current derivative liabilities	3	16	1	9	2	7

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s derivative assets increased and derivative liabilities decreased 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 decreases in derivative regulatory assets and 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 June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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


			19

Table of Contents

were netted, amounts would not be materially different from gross amounts of derivative assets and derivative liabilities at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. 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.

Table of Contents

(a)Includes individual commitments incurred during the normal course of business that exceeded $1 million at June 30, 2021.

NOTE 13(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.

As of June 30, 2021, the currently known partnership obligations for the abandonment obligations are estimated at $68 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 $68 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 June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 $74 million as of June 30, 2021 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

NOTE 13(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, 2021, 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, 2021, such amounts for WPL were not material.


	Alliant Energy			IPL
Range of estimated future costs	$9	-	$24	$6	-	$19
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 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 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.

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 2020 Form 10-K.

2021 HIGHLIGHTS

Key highlights since the filing of the 2020 Form 10-K include the following:

Customer Investments:

•In March 2021, WPL filed a Certificate of Authority with the PSCW for approval to acquire, construct, own, and operate up to 414 MW of new solar generation by the end of 2023 in the following Wisconsin counties: Dodge (150 MW), Waushara (99 MW), Rock (65 MW), Grant (50 MW) and Green (50 MW). In June 2021, WPL received an order from the PSCW authorizing WPL to acquire, own and operate 675 MW of new solar generation in various Wisconsin counties. The 1,089 MW of new solar generation would replace energy and capacity being eliminated with the planned retirement of the coal-fired Edgewater Generating Station (414 MW) by the end of 2022, and Columbia Unit 1 by the end of 2023 and Columbia Unit 2 by the end of 2024 (595 MW in aggregate), which are the last coal-fired EGUs at WPL. The retirement of these coal-fired EGUs supports Alliant Energy’s strategy, which is focused on meeting its customers’ energy needs in an economical, efficient and sustainable manner.

Rate Matters:

•In May 2021, WPL filed a proposed settlement with the PSCW for annual base rate increases of $70 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 intervenor groups. The key drivers for the proposed annual base rate increases include lower excess deferred income tax benefits in 2022 and 2023 and revenue requirement impacts of increasing electric and gas rate base, including investments in solar generation. In addition, the settlement proposes WPL maintain its current authorized return on common equity of 10%, implement a 54% common equity component of regulatory capital structure, as well as receive a recovery of and a return on the remaining net book value of Edgewater Unit 5, which is currently expected to be retired by the end of 2022. WPL currently expects any rate changes granted from this request to be effective on January 1, 2022 and extend through the end of 2023.

•In June 2021, the IUB adopted new rules that establish minimum filing requirements for rate reviews using a forward-looking test period, and the related subsequent proceeding review after the close of the forward-looking test period. The rules provide that in the subsequent proceeding review, a utility’s actual costs and revenues shall be presumed to be reasonably consistent with the forward-looking test period if the utility’s actual return on common equity falls with a standard of reasonableness of 50 basis points above or 50 basis points below the authorized return on common equity. If the utility’s actual return on common equity is outside of this range, future rates could be adjusted.

Legislative Matters:

•In March 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Act) was enacted. The most significant provision of the Act for Alliant Energy is reduced minimum pension plan funding requirements, which Alliant Energy is currently evaluating. The Act also provides additional funding to the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which assists certain of Alliant Energy’s customers with managing their energy costs, as well as provides financial support for certain of Alliant Energy’s residential, small business and non-profit customers.

•In April 2021, legislation was enacted in Iowa prohibiting counties and cities from regulating the sale of natural gas and propane, which supports IPL’s ability to provide gas utility service to a diversified base of retail customers and industries.

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 three months ended June 30 were as follows (dollars in millions, except per share amounts):


	2021		2020
	Income	EPS	Income	EPS

Utilities and Corporate Services	$128	$0.51	$121	$0.48
ATC Holdings	8	0.03	10	0.04
Non-utility and Parent	8	0.03	3	0.02


Alliant Energy Consolidated	$144	$0.57	$134	$0.54

Alliant Energy’s Utilities and Corporate Services net income increased by $7 million for the three-month period, primarily due to higher earnings resulting from IPL’s and WPL’s increasing rate base and higher retail electric and gas sales due to warmer temperatures in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020. These items were partially offset by higher depreciation expense, lower allowance for funds used during construction and higher WPL electric fuel-related costs, net of recoveries.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 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 6% and decreased 6%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to changes in temperatures and COVID-19 impacts in Alliant Energy’s service territories. Alliant Energy’s retail electric and gas sales volumes increased 4% and 3%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to changes in temperatures and COVID-19 impacts in Alliant Energy’s service territories, partially offset by the impact on sales of the additional day due to leap year in 2020. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, changes in COVID-19 impacts resulted in decreases for retail electric residential sales volumes and increases for retail electric commercial and industrial sales.

Estimated increases (decreases) to electric and gas margins from the impacts of temperatures for the three and six months ended June 30 were as follows (in millions):


	Electric Margins						Gas Margins
	Three Months			Six Months			Three Months			Six Months
	2021	2020	Change	2021	2020	Change	2021	2020	Change	2021	2020	Change

Total Alliant Energy	$17	$5	$12	$20	($1)	$21	$—	$2	($2)	$2	($1)	$3

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 and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 as follows (in millions):


	Three Months			Six Months
	Alliant Energy	IPL	WPL	Alliant Energy	IPL	WPL
Higher revenue requirements due to increasing rate base (a) (b)	$13	$9	$4	$26	$19	$7

Lower 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)	(5)	(5)	—	(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)	(3)	(3)	—	(8)	(8)	—
Higher WPL electric fuel-related costs, net of recoveries	(7)	—	(7)	(7)	—	(7)
Other (includes higher temperature-normalized sales primarily due to COVID-19 impacts)	9	3	4	9	—	7
	$19	$11	$6	$29	$11	$16

(a)IPL’s final retail electric base rate increase was effective February 26, 2020. Effective with final rates, the recovery of, and return on, IPL’s new wind generation placed in service in 2019 and 2020 is provided through the renewable energy rider. The final rate increase includes a reduction for anticipated production tax credits for IPL’s new wind generation. This reduction is expected to be offset by a reduction in income tax expense resulting from production tax credits recognized from this new wind generation. In September 2020, IPL made a buyout payment of $110 million in exchange for shortening the terms of its DAEC PPA by 5 years. The higher revenue requirements from the buyout payment, including a return on such costs, is being recovered from IPL’s retail customers from 2021 through the end of 2025.

(b)In December 2020, the PSCW issued an order authorizing WPL to maintain its current retail electric base rates through the end of 2021. WPL will utilize anticipated fuel-related cost savings and excess deferred income tax benefits in 2021 to offset the revenue requirement impacts of increasing electric rate base, including the Kossuth wind farm, which was placed in service in October 2020. The lower fuel expense benefits are recognized in electric margin and the additional amount of excess deferred income tax benefits is recognized as a reduction in income tax expense.

(a)Largely due to lower expenditures for IPL’s and WPL’s expansion of wind generation and WPL’s West Riverside Energy Center, partially offset by higher expenditures for WPL’s solar generation.

Construction and Acquisition Expenditures - As a result of rising prices for certain commodity, labor and other costs, as well as additional solar generation included in WPL’s Certificate of Authority filings, Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL currently expect higher construction expenditures for WPL’s 1,089 MW of solar generation and IPL’s 400 MW of solar generation than what was previously included in the anticipated construction and acquisition expenditures included in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the 2020 Form 10-K. In July 2021, WPL notified the PSCW that it currently expects estimated construction costs and related rate base additions associated with its 675 MW of new solar generation will exceed amounts approved by the PSCW in June 2021 by approximately 7-10%.
