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:

•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;

•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;

•inflation and higher interest rates;

•changes in the price of delivered natural gas, transmission, purchased electricity and coal, particularly during elevated market prices, and any resulting changes to counterparty credit risk, due to shifts in supply and demand caused by market conditions, regulations and MISO’s seasonal resource adequacy process;

•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, deferred expenditures, deferred tax assets, tax expense, capital expenditures, and remaining costs related to EGUs that may be permanently closed and certain other retired assets, decreases in sales volumes, earning their authorized rates of return, and the payments to their parent of expected levels of dividends;

•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;

•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, as well as the ability to transfer tax credits that may be generated in the future at adequate pricing;

•weather effects on results of utility operations;

•disruptions to ongoing operations and the supply of materials, services, equipment and commodities needed to construct solar generation, battery storage and electric and gas distribution projects, which may result from geopolitical issues, supplier manufacturing constraints, labor issues or transportation issues, as well as affect the ability to meet capacity requirements and result in increased capacity expense;

•continued access to the capital markets on competitive terms and rates, and the actions of credit rating agencies;

•the direct or indirect effects resulting from the ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the spread of variant strains;

•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 federal, state or local regulations for carbon dioxide emissions reductions from new and existing fossil-fueled EGUs, and litigation associated with environmental requirements;

•increased pressure from customers, investors and other stakeholders to more rapidly reduce carbon dioxide emissions;

•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;

•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 methodology, or procure capacity in the market whereby such costs might not be recovered in rates;

•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, including regulations promulgated by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration;

•issues related to the availability and operations of EGUs, including start-up risks, breakdown or failure of equipment, availability of warranty coverage for equipment breakdowns or failures, 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 operating, fuel-related and capital costs through rates;

•Alliant Energy’s ability to sustain its dividend payout ratio goal;

•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;

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 SEC. 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 2021 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.

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) Cash and Cash Equivalents - At September 30, 2022, Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s cash and cash equivalents included $334 million, $39 million and $295 million of money market fund investments, respectively, with weighted average interest rates of 3%.

NOTE 1(c) Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) - In 2022, WPL 2022 Solar Holdco, LLC was formed as a joint venture to own and operate project companies responsible for the construction, ownership and operation of various solar generation assets. Members of the joint venture were a WPL subsidiary (the managing member) and a tax equity partner. In the second quarter of 2022, the WPL subsidiary and the tax equity partner contributed $62 million and $29 million, respectively, to WPL 2022 Solar Holdco, LLC in exchange for membership interests, and $88 million of the contributed funds were paid to WPL in exchange for equity interests in the project companies. In the second quarter of 2022, Alliant Energy and WPL consolidated this joint venture as it was a VIE in which WPL held a variable interest, and WPL controlled decisions that were significant to the joint venture’s ongoing operations and economic results (i.e., WPL was the primary beneficiary).

In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was enacted. Following its enactment, WPL evaluated the provisions of the new legislation and determined that retaining full ownership of the solar projects is expected to result in lower costs for its customers. As a result, in the third quarter of 2022, WPL and the tax equity partner terminated the tax equity partnership, and WPL returned the $29 million of initial funding to the tax equity partner. Alliant Energy and WPL no longer expect their solar generation project construction costs to be financed with capital from tax equity partners, which would result in higher rate base amounts compared to those previously approved by the PSCW for WPL’s planned approximately 1,100 MW of solar generation. Alliant Energy and WPL concluded that no disallowance of anticipated higher rate base amounts was required as of September 30, 2022 given full ownership of WPL's planned solar generation is expected to result in lower costs for WPL's customers.

Refer to Note 6 for discussion of a noncontrolling interest that was initially associated with the joint venture prior to the termination of the tax equity partnership.

NOTE 2. REGULATORY MATTERS

Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities -

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

	Alliant Energy		IPL		WPL

Other	120	132	64	80	56	52
	$2,041	$1,940	$1,423	$1,443	$618	$497

Tax-related - Refer to Note 9 for discussion of Iowa Tax Reform, which resulted in a decrease in Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s tax-related regulatory assets in the third quarter of 2022.

Commodity cost recovery - The cost recovery mechanism for WPL’s retail electric customers is based on forecasts of certain fuel-related costs expected to be incurred during forward-looking test periods and fuel monitoring ranges determined by the PSCW during each retail electric rate proceeding or in a separate fuel cost plan approval proceeding. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, WPL’s actual fuel-related costs fell outside these fuel monitoring ranges, resulting in a $83 million deferral of higher than expected fuel-related costs as of September 30, 2022.

Derivatives - Refer to Note 11 for discussion of changes in Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s derivative liabilities/assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which result in comparable changes to regulatory assets/liabilities on the balance sheets.

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

	Alliant Energy		IPL		WPL
	September 30, 2022	December 31, 2021	September 30, 2022	December 31, 2021	September 30, 2022	December 31, 2021

	$1,387	$1,271	$761	$691	$626	$580

NOTE 3. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

In June 2022, WPL announced revised expected timing for the retirements of its remaining coal-fired EGUs in order to help manage regional capacity and changing generation requirements across the MISO region. WPL currently expects to retire the Edgewater Generating Station (414 MW) by June 1, 2025, and Columbia Units 1 and 2 by June 1, 2026 (595 MW in aggregate). In addition, IPL currently expects to retire the coal-fired Lansing Generating Station (275 MW) in the first half of 2023. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL are working with MISO, state regulatory commissions and other regulatory agencies, as required, to determine the timing of these actions, which are subject to change depending on operational, regulatory, market and other factors.

NOTE 4. 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. The transfers of receivables meet the criteria for sale accounting established by the transfer of financial assets accounting rules. As of September 30, 2022, IPL had $109 million of available capacity under its sales of accounts receivable program. IPL’s maximum and average outstanding cash proceeds (based on daily outstanding balances) related to the sales of accounts receivable program for the three and nine months ended September 30 were as follows (in millions):

NOTE 7(b) Long-term Debt - In February 2022, AEF issued $350 million of 3.6% senior notes due 2032. The net proceeds from the issuance were used to reduce Alliant Energy’s outstanding commercial paper and for general corporate purposes. In March 2022, AEF entered into a $300 million variable rate (3% as of September 30, 2022) term loan credit agreement (with Alliant Energy as guarantor), which expires in March 2024, and used the borrowings under this agreement to retire its $300 million variable rate term loan credit agreement that expired in March 2022.

In August 2022, WPL issued $600 million of 3.95% debentures due 2032. The debentures were issued as green bonds, and an amount equal to or in excess of the net proceeds will be disbursed for the development and acquisition of WPL’s solar EGUs.

NOTE 9. 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

and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 were primarily due to decreased amortization of excess deferred taxes primarily at WPL.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities -

Carryforwards - In the third quarter of 2022, Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL fully utilized their respective federal net operating losses carryforwards. At September 30, 2022, the remaining carryforwards and expiration dates were estimated as follows (in millions):

	Range of Expiration Dates	Alliant Energy	IPL	WPL
State net operating losses	2022-2042	$500	$9	$2
Federal tax credits	2022-2042	655	437	208

Iowa Tax Reform - In March 2022, Iowa tax reform was enacted. 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, and reduce such rates if certain state income tax revenue triggers are satisfied. These corporate income tax rate reductions are currently expected to occur over a period of several years, with a target corporate income tax rate of 5.5%, compared to the current 9.8% Iowa corporate income tax rate. In September 2022, the Iowa Department of Revenue announced an Iowa corporate income tax rate of 8.4%, effective January 1, 2023. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the enacted tax rate expected to be applied when temporary differences are to be realized or settled. Given the announcement of the new Iowa corporate income tax rate, Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s deferred tax liabilities were remeasured based upon the new rate effective January 1, 2023, which resulted in a $76 million reduction of Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s tax-related regulatory assets and a decrease in their deferred tax liabilities in the third quarter of 2022. The reduction in tax-related regulatory assets is expected to provide cost benefits to IPL’s customers in the future. Alliant Energy parent company’s deferred tax assets were remeasured based upon the new rate effective January 1, 2023, which resulted in a charge of $8 million recorded to income tax expense in Alliant Energy’s income statement and a decrease in deferred income tax assets on Alliant Energy’s balance sheet in the third quarter of 2022. Alliant Energy is currently unable to predict with certainty the timing or amount of any future rate reductions.

As of September 30, 2022, Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation awards was $8 million, $5 million and $3 million, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of between 1 year and 2 years.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, performance shares, performance restricted stock units and restricted stock units were granted to key employees under existing plans 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	74,106	$54.45
Performance restricted stock units	84,670	57.01
Restricted stock units	77,122	56.88

As of September 30, 2022, 285,909 shares were included in the calculation of diluted EPS related to the nonvested equity awards.

NOTE 11. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Commodity Derivatives -

Notional Amounts - As of September 30, 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):

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
	September 30, 2022	December 31, 2021	September 30, 2022	December 31, 2021	September 30, 2022	December 31, 2021

Table of Contents

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s derivative assets increased primarily due to the annual FTR auction operated by MISO and as a result of higher natural gas prices. Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s derivative liabilities increased primarily due to new natural gas contracts entered into in the second quarter of 2022. Based on IPL’s and WPL’s cost recovery mechanisms, the changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities/assets resulted in comparable changes to regulatory assets/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 up to the amount of exposure under the contracts, or the contracts may need to be unwound and underlying liability positions paid. At September 30, 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, derivative assets and derivative liabilities related to commodity contracts would have been presented on the balance sheets as follows (in millions):

	Alliant Energy		IPL		WPL
	Gross		Gross		Gross
	(as reported)	Net	(as reported)	Net	(as reported)	Net
September 30, 2022
Derivative assets	$360	$308	$202	$165	$158	$143
Derivative liabilities	98	46	66	29	32	17
December 31, 2021
Derivative assets	176	171	84	83	92	88
Derivative liabilities	9	4	4	3	5	1

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 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 September 30, 2022, the currently known partnership obligations for the abandonment obligations are estimated at $58 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 $58 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 September 30, 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.

Table of Contents

Whiting Petroleum completed a business combination with Oasis Petroleum Inc. in July 2022. The combined operations are now known as Chord Energy Corporation. The business combination is not expected to affect the scope of the Whiting Petroleum affiliate’s obligations to Alliant Energy or Alliant Energy’s related 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 $59 million as of September 30, 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2022, such amounts for WPL were not material.

	Alliant Energy			IPL
Range of estimated future costs	$9	-	$25	$6	-	$19
Current and non-current environmental liabilities	$12			$8

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 13(e) MISO Transmission Owner Return on Equity Complaints - A group of stakeholders, including MISO cooperative and municipal utilities, previously filed complaints with FERC requesting a reduction to the base return on equity authorized for MISO transmission owners, including ITC Midwest LLC and ATC. In 2019, FERC issued an order on the previously filed complaints and reduced the base return on equity authorized for the MISO transmission owners to 9.88% for November 12, 2013 through February 11, 2015, and subsequent to September 28, 2016. In 2020, FERC issued orders in response to various rehearing requests and increased the base return on equity authorized for the MISO transmission owners from 9.88% to 10.02% for November 12, 2013 through February 11, 2015, and subsequent to September 28, 2016. In August 2022, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated FERC’s prior orders that established the base return on equity authorized for the MISO transmission owners and remanded the cases to FERC for further proceedings, which may result in additional changes to the base return on equity authorized for the MISO transmission owners. As a result of the August 2022 court decision, Alliant Energy recorded a $5 million reduction in “Equity income from unconsolidated investments” in its income statement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 to reflect the anticipated reduction in the base return on equity authorized for the MISO transmission owners. Any further changes in FERC’s decisions may have an impact on Alliant Energy’s share of ATC’s future earnings and customer costs.

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. In June 2022, a presidential executive order postponed through 2024 any additional tariffs on solar project materials and equipment while the U.S. Department of Commerce completes its investigation. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL are currently unable to predict with certainty the future outcome or impact of these matters, including from any related legal challenges; 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 June 2022, the PSCW issued an order approving WPL’s second certificate of authority 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).

•In June 2022, IPL filed for a revised fixed cost cap of $1,934/kilowatt with the IUB related to IPL’s November 2021 advance rate-making principles filing for up to 400 MW of solar generation with in-service dates in 2023 and 2024 and approximately 75 MW of battery storage in 2024, which reflects higher materials, labor and shipping costs. The revised fixed cost cap includes allowance for funds used during construction and transmission upgrade costs among other costs. In September 2022, IPL provided the IUB with a summary of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, as well as an economic analysis indicating full ownership for its planned solar and battery storage projects is currently expected to result in lower costs for its customers compared to previous plans to utilize tax equity financing. IPL currently expects a decision from the IUB on its filing by the end of 2022.

•In August 2022, FERC approved MISO’s proposal to change its methodology for procuring capacity in the energy market effective with the 2023/2024 MISO Planning Year, as a result of changes in the overall generation resource mix due to the shift to renewable generation and the retirement of certain fossil-fueled generation. The capacity construct will change from the current Summer-based annual construct to four distinct seasons to help ensure the continued reliability of the electric transmission grid. FERC’s approval also includes establishing planning reserve margin requirements for all market participants on a seasonal basis and determining a seasonal accredited capacity value for certain classes of generating resources, including higher accredited capacity for wind generation during the Spring, Fall and Winter seasons and lower accredited capacity for solar generation during the Winter season. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL are currently unable to predict with certainty the future outcome or impact of these matters, but anticipate additional generating resources will be needed to comply with the requirements of the new capacity construct. Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for discussion of proposed changes to IPL’s and WPL’s current resource plans resulting from these matters.

•In September 2022, WPL filed a request with the PSCW for approval to construct, own and operate 175 MW of battery storage, with 100 MW and 75 MW at the Grant County and Wood County solar projects, respectively. Estimated capital expenditures for these planned projects for 2023 through 2025 are included in the “Renewables and battery storage” line in the construction and acquisition table in “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

•In September 2022, after the enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, WPL informed the PSCW of its decision to retain full ownership of its planned solar projects instead of financing a portion of the projects with tax equity partners, which is currently expected to result in lower costs for its customers compared to previous plans to utilize tax equity financing.

•In September 2022, WPL completed the construction of the Bear Creek Solar Garden in Richland County, Wisconsin (50 MW).

•In October 2022, WPL completed the construction of the North Rock Solar Garden in Rock County, Wisconsin (50 MW).

•Refer to Note 3 for discussion of revised expected timing for the retirements of various IPL and WPL coal-fired EGUs.

Rate Matters:

•In June 2022, WPL filed a limited reopener request with the PSCW to increase annual retail gas rates for the 2023 forward-looking Test Period by approximately $10 million, which reflects changes in weighted average cost of capital, updated depreciation rates and modifications to certain regulatory asset and regulatory liability amortizations. WPL currently expects a decision from the PSCW on its request by the end of 2022.

•In August 2022, the PSCW authorized WPL to collect $37 million in 2023 from its retail electric customers, plus interest, for an under-collection of fuel-related costs incurred by WPL in 2021 that were higher than fuel-related costs used to determine rates for such period. In addition, in November 2022, WPL filed updated fuel-related cost information for 2023 with the PSCW, which reflects an increase in annual retail electric rates of approximately $63 million in 2023 compared to WPL’s approved 2022 fuel-related costs. WPL currently expects a decision from the PSCW on its request by the end of 2022.

Table of Contents

•WPL currently expects to file a retail electric and gas rate review with the PSCW in the second quarter of 2023 for the 2024/2025 forward-looking Test Period. The key drivers for the anticipated filing include revenue requirement impacts of increasing electric and gas rate base, including investments in solar generation and battery storage. Any rate changes granted from this pending request are expected to be effective on January 1, 2024, with a decision from the PSCW expected by the end of 2023.

•IPL currently expects to file a retail electric and gas rate review with the IUB by the first half of 2024. The key drivers for the anticipated filing include revenue requirement impacts of increasing electric and gas rate base, including investments in solar generation and battery storage.

Legislative Matters:

•Refer to Note 9 for discussion of Iowa tax reform enacted in March 2022.

•In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was enacted. The most significant provisions of the new legislation for Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL relate to a 10-year extension of tax credits for clean energy projects, a new production tax credit eligible for solar projects, a new stand-alone investment tax credit for battery storage projects and the right to transfer future renewable credits to other corporate taxpayers. The new legislation also includes a requirement for corporations with income over $1 billion to pay a 15% minimum tax; however, Alliant Energy is currently below this income level. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL currently expect to utilize various provisions of the new legislation to enhance the tax benefits expected from their announced approximately 1,500 MW of solar and 250 MW of battery storage projects, including transferring the future tax credits from such projects to other corporate taxpayers and opting to retain full ownership of such projects instead of financing a portion of the projects with tax equity partners. Compared to previous plans to utilize tax equity financing, the impact of these changes is expected to result in lower costs for IPL's and WPL's customers, higher rate base amounts, additional financing needs expected to be satisfied with additional long-term debt and common stock issuances, and improvements in long-term cash flows over the life of the solar and battery storage projects.

Financings and Common Stock Dividends:

•Refer to “Results of Operations” for discussion of expected future issuances of common stock and common stock dividends, and expected future issuances and retirements of long-term debt, by the end of 2023.

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 September 30 were as follows (dollars in millions, except per share amounts):

	2022		2021
	Income (Loss)	EPS	Income (Loss)	EPS
Utilities and Corporate Services	$249	$0.99	$254	$1.01
ATC Holdings	5	0.02	8	0.03
Non-utility and Parent	(27)	(0.11)	(6)	(0.02)
Alliant Energy Consolidated	$227	$0.90	$256	$1.02

Alliant Energy’s Utilities and Corporate Services net income decreased by $5 million for the three-month period, primarily due to higher interest expense and the timing of income taxes.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 as follows (in millions):

	Three Months			Nine Months
	Alliant Energy	IPL	WPL	Alliant Energy	IPL	WPL
Higher revenue requirements at WPL due to increasing rate base (a)	$32	$—	$32	$85	$—	$85
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)	—	—	—	11	11	—
Lower revenues at IPL due to changes in the renewable energy rider (mostly offset by changes in income tax)	(4)	(4)	—	(23)	(23)	—
Other	(4)	(6)	—	14	3	10
	$24	($10)	$32	$87	($9)	$95

(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.

Utility Gas Margin Variances - The following items contributed to increased (decreased) utility gas margins for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 as follows (in millions):

Preferred Dividend Requirements of IPL - Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s preferred dividend requirements decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 due to the redemption of IPL’s 5.1% cumulative preferred stock in December 2021.

Other Future Considerations - In addition to items discussed in this report, the following key items could impact Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s future financial condition or results of operations:

•Financing Plans - Alliant Energy currently expects to issue up to $250 million of common stock in 2023 through one or more offerings and its Shareowner Direct Plan. IPL, WPL (subject to regulatory approval) and AEF currently expect to issue up to $300 million, $300 million, and $450 million of long-term debt, respectively, by the end of 2023. WPL and AEF have $250 million and $400 million of long-term debt maturing in 2022 and 2023, respectively.

•Common Stock Dividends - Alliant Energy announced a 6% increase in its targeted 2023 annual common stock dividend to $1.81 per share, which is equivalent to a quarterly rate of $0.4525 per share, beginning with the February 2023 dividend payment. The timing and amount of future dividends is subject to an approved dividend declaration from Alliant Energy’s Board of Directors, and is dependent upon earnings expectations, capital requirements, and general financial business conditions, among other factors.

•Higher Earnings on Increasing Rate Base - Alliant Energy and WPL currently expect an increase in earnings in 2023 compared to 2022 due to impacts from increasing revenue requirements related to investments in the utility business, including WPL’s solar investments.

•Other Operation and Maintenance Expenses - Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL currently expect a decrease in other operation and maintenance expenses in 2023 compared to 2022 largely due to cost reductions resulting from operating efficiencies.

•Interest Expense - Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL currently expect an increase in interest expense in 2023 compared to 2022 due to financings completed in 2022 and planned by the end of 2023 as discussed above, as well as expected higher interest rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

New MISO Seasonal Capacity Construct - As discussed in “2022 Highlights,” in August 2022, FERC approved MISO’s proposal to change its methodology for procuring capacity in the energy market effective with the 2023/2024 MISO Planning Year. IPL and WPL currently plan to construct and/or acquire additional renewable, battery and natural gas resources to comply with the requirements of this new methodology and have reflected the estimated capital expenditures for these projects in the "Renewables and battery storage" and "Other” Generation lines in the construction and acquisition table above.

Renewables and Battery Storage - Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL continue to evaluate potential impacts from cost pressures prevalent in the solar generation and battery storage markets and the pending U.S. Department of Commerce investigation on the timing and estimated costs for IPL’s and WPL’s planned development and acquisition of additional renewable energy, which could impact their anticipated future construction and acquisition expenditures. Refer to “2022 Highlights” for further discussion of the U.S. Department of Commerce investigation and regulatory filings with the IUB and PSCW related to future renewable and battery storage projects, including recent filings by IPL and WPL announcing plans to shift away from tax equity partnerships to traditional ownership for future renewable and battery storage projects following the enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

Financing Activities - The following items contributed to increased (decreased) financing activity cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 (in millions):

	Alliant Energy	IPL	WPL
Higher net proceeds from issuance of long-term debt	$938	$—	$288
