MADISON, Wis. - November 7, 2022 - Alliant Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: LNT) today announced U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and non-GAAP consolidated unaudited earnings per share (EPS) for the three months ended September 30 as follows:
| GAAP EPS | Non-GAAP EPS | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | 2022 | 2021 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Utilities and Corporate Services | $0.99 | $1.01 | $0.99 | $1.01 | |||||||||||||||||||
| American Transmission Company (ATC) Holdings | 0.02 | 0.03 | 0.02 | 0.03 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Non-utility and Parent | (0.11) | (0.02) | (0.08) | (0.02) | |||||||||||||||||||
| Alliant Energy Consolidated | $0.90 | $1.02 | $0.93 | $1.02 | |||||||||||||||||||
“Our purpose-driven strategy continues to deliver solid financial results, and our industry-leading renewable execution has seen an additional 100 megawatts of solar generation placed into service,” said John Larsen, Alliant Energy Chair, President and CEO. “Our raised and narrowed 2022 earnings guidance, announced 2023 earnings range and 6% common stock dividend target reinforce the strong performance and predicable long-term growth of our company.”
Utilities and Corporate Services - Alliant Energy’s Utilities and Alliant Energy Corporate Services, Inc. (Corporate Services) operations generated $0.99 per share of GAAP EPS in the third quarter of 2022, which was $0.02 per share lower than the third quarter of 2021. The primary drivers of lower EPS were higher interest expense and timing of income tax expense.
Non-utility and Parent - Alliant Energy’s Non-utility and Parent operations generated $(0.11) per share of GAAP EPS in the third quarter of 2022, which was a $0.09 per share earnings decrease compared to the third quarter of 2021. The lower EPS was primarily driven by higher interest expense, timing of income taxes, and a non-GAAP charge related to the recently announced Iowa state income tax rate change.
Earnings Adjustments - Non-GAAP EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2022 excludes $0.03 per share related to the Iowa state income tax rate change described above for Alliant Energy’s Non-utility and Parent. Non-GAAP adjustments, which relate to material charges or income that are not normally associated with ongoing operations, are provided as a supplement to results reported in accordance with GAAP.
Estimated Net Temperature Impacts to Non-GAAP EPS - The estimated year-to-date impact of net temperatures on EPS compared to normal temperatures is a $0.07 per share gain in 2022. The midpoint of the temperature normalized non-GAAP EPS guidance for the full year 2022 is $2.73.
Details regarding GAAP EPS variances between the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 for Alliant Energy are as follows:
| Variance | |||||
| Higher interest expense | ($0.04) | ||||
| Timing of income tax expense | (0.04) | ||||
| Iowa state income tax rate change | (0.03) | ||||
| Other | (0.01) | ||||
| Total | ($0.12) | ||||

Higher interest expense - Total long-term debt increased due to additional financings since September 30, 2021 largely to fund capital expenditures, including the solar expansion program in Wisconsin. In addition, increases in short-term debt interest rates during 2022 contributed to higher interest expense in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.
Timing of income tax expense - Income tax expense is recorded each quarter based on an estimated annual effective tax rate and the proportion of full year earnings generated each quarter, which causes fluctuations in the amount of tax expense quarter-over-quarter. The $0.04 timing variance in the third quarter is expected to reverse in the fourth quarter.
Iowa state income tax rate change - In September 2022, the Iowa Department of Revenues announced a change in the Iowa corporate income tax rate from 9.8% to 8.4%, effective January 1, 2023, in accordance with legislation enacted earlier this year. The announced change in the corporate income tax rate resulted in a non-GAAP charge of $8 million or $0.03 per share recorded in the third quarter to income tax expense related to the remeasurement of deferred income tax assets at the Non-utility and Parent operations. The lower tax rate also resulted in a reduction in regulatory assets recorded in the third quarter related to the remeasurement of deferred income tax liabilities at IPL which will provide cost benefits to its Iowa customers in the future.
2022 Earnings Guidance
Alliant Energy is updating its EPS guidance for 2022 as follows. The midpoint of the 2022 EPS guidance was increased primarily due to the estimated temperature impacts on retail electric and gas sales through the first three quarters of 2022.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with additional information regarding Alliant Energy’s financial results, this press release includes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures include income and EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 excluding a charge related to the Iowa state income tax rate change. Alliant Energy believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it provides an alternate measure to better understand and compare across periods the operating performance of Alliant Energy without the distortion of items that management believes are not normally associated with ongoing operations, and also provides 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. Alliant Energy’s management also uses income, as adjusted, to determine performance-based compensation.
In addition, Alliant Energy included in this press release IPL; WPL; Corporate Services; Utilities and Corporate Services; ATC Holdings; and Non-utility and Parent EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. 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.
This press release references year-over-year variances in utility electric margins and utility gas margins. Utility electric margins and utility gas margins are non-GAAP financial measures that will be reported and reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, operating income, in our third quarter 2022 Form 10-Q.
This press release also includes temperature-normalized non-GAAP EPS guidance for the year ended December 31, 2022. Alliant Energy believes this non-GAAP guidance measure is useful to investors because the measure facilitates period-to-period comparison of Alliant Energy’s operating performance and provides investors with information on a basis consistent with measures that management uses to assess Alliant Energy’s earnings growth rate.
Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the earnings summaries that follow and in the case of temperature normalized non-GAAP EPS guidance, in the press release above.
Note: Unless otherwise noted, all “per share” references in this release refer to earnings per diluted share.
