ALLIANT ENERGY ANNOUNCES 2011 RESULTS
MADISON, Wis. – February 10, 2012 – Alliant Energy Corporation (NYSE: LNT) today announced U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and non-GAAP consolidated unaudited earnings from continuing operations for 2011 and 2010 as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Earnings Per Share (EPS): | | Adjusted (non-GAAP) EPS from Continuing Operations | | | | | GAAP EPS from Continuing Operations | |
| | 2011 | | | 2010 | | | | | 2011 | | | 2010 | |
Utilities | | | $2.77 | | | | $2.65 | | | | | | $2.57 | | | | $2.51 | |
Non-regulated and Parent | | | (0.01) | | | | 0.10 | | | | | | 0.16 | | | | 0.11 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Alliant Energy Consolidated | | | $2.76 | | | | $2.75 | | | | | | $2.73 | | | | $2.62 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
“2011 utility and transportation results were in line with our expectations, however RMT results disappointed,” said Bill Harvey, Alliant Energy Chairman and CEO. “Our utility, transportation and non-regulated generation businesses continue to produce solid financial results. In 2012, we will continue to provide safe, reliable service to our customers and will remain focused on delivering earnings growth by successfully executing our strategic plan, including continued implementation of operating modifications and efficiencies throughout the business to control costs.”
Utilities - Alliant Energy’s utility operations generated $2.77 per share of non-GAAP EPS from continuing operations in 2011, which was $0.12 per share higher than in 2010. Earnings for Alliant Energy’s utility business were positively impacted by the implementation of new electric base rates in its three retail jurisdictions, lower capacity payments, production tax credits generated by Wisconsin Power and Light Company’s (WPL’s) Bent Tree wind project in 2011 and positive weather impacts on electric sales. The positive EPS drivers were partially offset by depreciation and operating expenses for WPL’s Bent Tree wind project, higher electric transmission expenses net of recoveries, income tax impacts at Interstate Power and Light Company (IPL) due to Iowa rate making practices, allowance for funds used during construction on WPL’s Bent Tree wind project in 2010 and higher depreciation expense.
Non-regulated and Parent - Alliant Energy’s non-regulated and parent operations generated a loss of $0.01 per share of non-GAAP EPS from continuing operations in 2011, which was $0.11 per share lower than in 2010. Earnings for Alliant Energy’s non-regulated business were negatively impacted by losses at RMT, Inc. (RMT) due to solar subcontractor performance and erosion of margins on wind projects. This negative EPS driver was partially offset by higher earnings generated by Alliant Energy’s Transportation business.
Earnings Adjustments - 2011 non-GAAP EPS excludes net losses of $0.03 per share from adjustments consisting of restructuring and impairment charges, regulatory-related charges and credits, charges related to an amendment to Alliant Energy’s Cash Balance Pension Plan, charges for emission allowance contracts and the reversal of deferred tax valuation allowances. 2010 non-GAAP EPS excludes net losses of $0.13 per share from adjustments consisting of regulatory-related charges and credits, healthcare legislation charges, restructuring and impairment charges, gains related to completion of federal income tax audits and a depreciation adjustment. These adjustments, which relate to significant charges or gains that are not normally

Non-fuel retail electric rate increases – On January 1, 2011, WPL implemented new retail electric rates as a result of its rate case filed in April 2010. The $8 million annualized rate increase includes a $38 million increase in the non-fuel component of rates largely related to return on the investment and recovery of expenses for the Bent Tree wind project, partially offset by a $30 million decrease in the fuel component of rates. The $0.20 per share amount in the table above reflects the impact of the $38 million increase in the non-fuel component of rates. The $30 million decrease in the fuel component of rates was largely offset by decreases in fuel costs at WPL.
The IPL non-fuel retail rate increases in the table above reflect the full year impact in 2011 of the new electric retail rates implemented in Iowa in March 2010 and the new electric retail rates implemented in Minnesota in July 2010. These electric retail rate increases were largely related to return on the investment and recovery of expenses for the Whispering Willow-East wind project and environmental controls at the Lansing Generating Station.
Higher electric transmission expenses, net of recoveries – IPL implemented a transmission rider in February 2011 which removes transmission service expense from base rates and bills through a rider. The rider provides a true-up mechanism for adjustments to electric rates charged to Iowa electric retail customers for changes in electric transmission service expenses. In 2010, IPL did not have a transmission true-up mechanism and due to higher sales caused by the warm summer and lower than expected transmission service expenses, IPL collected more transmission related revenues than transmission service expenses incurred.
Page 2 of 10
Tax impacts of Iowa rate making practices – For tax purposes, the Whispering Willow-East wind project is being depreciated using 5-year modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS), however for book purposes this wind farm is being depreciated using a straight-line method over 25 years. The difference between these two depreciation methods during the initial 5 years results in an overall reduced state tax expense at IPL pursuant to rate making practices. The applicable MACRS rates in 2011 and 2010 for the Whispering Willow-East wind project were 22.5% and 38%, respectively. Due to the substantial reduction in applicable MACRS rates, the overall tax depreciation was reduced compared to 2010 which resulted in higher state taxes at IPL in 2011.
RMT – The losses incurred by RMT in 2011 were largely due to issues relating to a singular solar project built in New Jersey. Schedule delays, abandonment of work by the original subcontractor, and the need to hire additional subcontractors to complete the project work in a timely manner resulted in significant additional costs for RMT in 2011. RMT has filed a lawsuit against the subcontractor; however, Alliant Energy is currently unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit and thus, RMT has not recognized any potential benefits from the recovery of damages. RMT also experienced modest erosion of margins on its wind projects in 2011. In February 2012, Alliant Energy’s Board of Directors approved a plan to sell the RMT business. Alliant Energy currently expects to begin reporting the results of RMT in discontinued operations in 2012.
2012 Earnings Guidance
Alliant Energy is adjusting its 2012 earnings per share guidance due to the decision to sell RMT in 2012.
| | | | |
| | Revised | | Previous |
Utility | | $2.65 - $2.85 | | $2.65 - $2.85 |
Non-regulated and Parent | | 0.10 – 0.20 | | 0.15 – 0.25 |
Alliant Energy Consolidated | | $2.75 - $3.05 | | $2.80 - $3.10 |
The 2012 earnings guidance does not include the impacts of any non-cash valuation adjustments, regulatory-related charges or credits, reorganization or restructuring charges, changes in laws or regulations, changes to government incentive elections for wind projects, adjustments made to deferred tax assets and liabilities from valuation allowances and state apportionment assumptions, pending lawsuits and disputes, federal and state income tax audits and other Internal Revenue Service proceedings or changes in accounting principles that may impact the reported results of Alliant Energy. The 2012 earnings guidance excludes a charge of $0.10 to $0.14 per share expected to be incurred in 2012 caused by increased tax obligations at the utility due to state tax apportionment changes resulting from the planned sale of RMT.
Drivers for Alliant Energy’s 2012 earnings guidance include, but are not limited to:
• | | Stable economy and resulting implications on utility sales |
• | | Normal weather and operating conditions in its utility service territories |
• | | Ability of IPL and WPL to earn their authorized rates of return |
• | | Ability of WPL to recover future purchased power, fuel and fuel-related costs through rates in a timely manner |
• | | Continuing cost controls and operational efficiencies |
• | | Execution of IPL’s, WPL’s and Alliant Energy Resources LLC (Resources’) capital expenditure plans |
• | | Consolidated effective tax rate of 16% |
