ALLIANT ENERGY ANNOUNCES 2022 RESULTS

GAAP earnings per share were $2.73 in 2022 compared to $2.63 in 2021
Adjusted earnings per share were $2.73 in 2022 compared to $2.58 in 2021, representing 6% growth
Affirmed 2023 earnings guidance range of $2.82 - $2.96 per share


MADISON, Wis. - February 23, 2023 - Alliant Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: LNT) today announced U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and non-GAAP consolidated unaudited earnings per share (EPS) for 2022 and 2021 as follows:
GAAP EPSNon-GAAP EPS
2022202120222021
Utilities and Corporate Services$2.74$2.52$2.76$2.52
American Transmission Company (ATC) Holdings0.120.120.140.12
Non-utility and Parent(0.13)(0.01)(0.10)(0.01)
Alliant Energy Consolidated$2.73$2.63$2.80$2.63

“In 2022, we delivered another strong year of financial results, demonstrated by our sixth consecutive year of 6% or more EPS growth and the 20th consecutive year of dividend growth,” said John Larsen, Alliant Energy Chair, President and CEO. “Looking forward to 2023, we are excited to continue executing our Clean Energy Blueprint across Iowa and Wisconsin and delivering the safe, reliable and affordable energy our customers and communities count on.”

Utilities and Corporate Services - Alliant Energy’s Utilities and Alliant Energy Corporate Services, Inc. (Corporate Services) operations generated $2.74 per share of GAAP EPS in 2022, which was $0.22 per share higher than 2021. The primary drivers of higher EPS were revenue requirements and allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) from Wisconsin Power and Light Company (WPL) capital investments and higher temperature-normalized retail electric and gas margins. These items were partially offset by higher depreciation expenses.

Non-utility and Parent - Alliant Energy’s Non-utility and Parent operations generated $(0.13) per share of GAAP EPS in 2022, which was $0.12 per share lower than 2021. The lower EPS was primarily driven by higher financing expense and a non-GAAP charge related to the Iowa state income tax rate change.

Earnings Adjustments - Non-GAAP EPS for 2022 excludes $0.03 per share of charges related to the Iowa state income tax rate change for Alliant Energy’s Non-utility and Parent, $0.02 per share of charges related to retirement plan settlement losses for Alliant Energy’s Utilities and Corporate Services, and $0.02 per share of charges related to an ATC base return on equity (ROE) reserve adjustment. 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 impacts of net temperatures on retail electric and gas sales were $0.07 per share and $0.05 per share gains in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The temperature-normalized non-GAAP EPS was $2.73 per share and $2.58 per share for years 2022 and 2021, respectively, which represents 6% growth.

Details regarding GAAP EPS variances between 2022 and 2021 for Alliant Energy are as follows:
Variance
Revenue requirements and higher AFUDC from WPL capital investments$0.18
Estimated net temperature impacts on retail electric and gas sales0.02
Higher financing expense(0.07)
Higher depreciation expense(0.04)
Iowa state income tax rate change(0.03)
Retirement plan settlement losses(0.02)
ATC ROE reserve adjustments(0.02)
Other (includes higher electric and gas margins)0.08
Total$0.10

Revenue requirements and higher AFUDC from WPL capital investments - In December 2021, WPL received an order from the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin approving WPL’s proposed settlement for its retail electric and gas rate review covering the 2022/2023 Test Period. WPL recognized a $0.08 per share increase in 2022 due to higher revenue requirements from increasing rate base, including investments in solar generation. The construction activity related to these investments also resulted in $0.10 per share higher AFUDC in 2022.

Estimated net temperature impacts on retail electric and gas sales - Alliant Energy’s retail electric and gas sales increased in 2022 and 2021 due to impacts of temperatures on customer demand.

A portion of Alliant Energy’s incentive pay is based on earnings. As a result, a portion of the higher earnings resulting from the temperature impact on retail electric and gas sales in 2022 was offset by higher incentive pay expense. Alliant Energy’s estimated temperature impact on retail electric and gas sales, net of the portion of incentive pay associated with temperature impacts on earnings was estimated to be a $0.07 per share increase in earnings in 2022. In 2021, no adjustments were made to the temperature impact of electric and gas sales because impacts were not material.

Higher financing expense - Total long-term debt increased due to additional financings in 2022 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 2022 compared to 2021. These items were partially offset by the redemption of Interstate Power and Light Company’s (IPL’s) preferred stock in 2021, including a non-cash redemption charge.

Iowa state income tax rate change - In September 2022, the Iowa Department of Revenue 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 in 2022. The announced change in the corporate income tax rate resulted in a non-GAAP charge of $8 million or $0.03 per share recorded to income tax expense in the third quarter of 2022 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 2022 related to the remeasurement of deferred income tax liabilities at IPL, which will provide cost benefits to its Iowa customers in the future.

Retirement plan settlement losses - In 2022, Alliant Energy recorded settlement losses as a result of a larger amount of lump sum retirement payments made under IPL’s qualified defined benefit pension plan resulting in a pre-tax non-GAAP charge of $7 million or $0.02 per share.

ATC ROE reserve adjustments - In 2022, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC’s) prior orders that established the ROE authorized for the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc. (MISO) transmission owners, including ITC Midwest LLC and ATC, and remanded the cases to FERC for further proceedings. This may result in additional changes to the base ROE authorized for the MISO transmission owners. As a result of this decision, Alliant Energy recorded a $6 million pre-tax non-GAAP charge in 2022 to reflect the anticipated reduction in the base return on equity authorized for the MISO transmission owners.

2023 Earnings Guidance

Alliant Energy is affirming its EPS guidance for 2023 of $2.82 - $2.96. Drivers for Alliant Energy’s 2023 EPS guidance include, but are not limited to:

Ability of IPL and WPL to earn their authorized rates of return
Stable economy and resulting implications on utility sales
Normal temperatures in its utility service territories
Execution of cost controls
Execution of capital expenditure and financing plans
Impacts of elevated interest rates on financing plans
Consolidated effective tax rate of 1%

Without limitation, the expectations with respect to 2023 earnings guidance in this press release are forward-looking statements and are based in part on certain assumptions made by Alliant Energy, some of which are referred to in the forward-looking statements. Alliant Energy cannot provide any assurance that the assumptions referred to in the forward-looking statements or otherwise are accurate or will prove to be correct. Any assumptions that are inaccurate or do not prove to be correct could have a material adverse effect on Alliant Energy’s ability to achieve the estimates or other targets included in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are made as of the date hereof and, except as required by law, Alliant Energy undertakes no obligation to update publicly such statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

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 fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 excluding charges related to retirement plan settlement losses and adjustments to the ATC ROE reserve. These measures also include income and EPS for year ended December 31, 2022 excluding a charge related to the Iowa state income tax change. Alliant Energy believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide 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 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. 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 fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 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 2022 Form 10-K.

This press release also includes temperature-normalized non-GAAP EPS for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Alliant Energy believes this non-GAAP 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.

The tax impact adjustments represent the impact of the tax effect of the pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments excluded from non-GAAP net income. The tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments is calculated based on the estimated consolidated statutory tax 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, in the press release above.

Note: Unless otherwise noted, all “per share” references in this release refer to earnings per diluted share.
