WISCONSIN POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY
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 latest combined Annual Report on Form 10-K.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, 20182019 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.2019. 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, including modifications to the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit costs for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans in the income statements as discussed in Note 1(d), restricted cash and cash receipts on sold receivables in the cash flows statements as discussed in Note 1(d), and segment reporting as discussed in Note 14.
Discontinued operations reported in Alliant Energy’s income statements is related to various warranty claims associated with the sale of RMT, Inc. in 2013, which have resulted in operating expenses and income subsequent to the sale.
NOTE 1(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash - At June 30, 20182019, Alliant Energy’s and December 31, 2017, restrictedWPL’s cash primarily related to depositsand cash equivalents included $161.8 million and $160.4 million of money market fund investments, with trusteesinterest rates of 2.4% and borrowing requirements in Sheboygan Power, LLC’s debt agreement. Refer to Note 1(d) for discussion of revisions to the cash flows statements to include immaterial restricted cash amounts.2.4%, respectively.
NOTE 1(c) Revenue RecognitionLeases -
Utility - RevenuesThe determination of whether an arrangement qualifies as a lease occurs at the inception of the arrangement. Arrangements that qualify as leases are classified as either operating or finance. Operating and finance lease liabilities represent obligations to make payments arising from Alliant Energy’s utility business are primarily from retailthe lease. Operating and wholesale electricfinance lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and gas sales to customers. Utility revenues are recognized over time as services are rendered or commodities are delivered to customers, and include billed and unbilled components. The billed component isat the lease commencement date based on the reading of customers’ meters, which occurs on a systematic basis throughout each reporting period and represents the fairpresent value of the services provided or commodities delivered. The unbilled component is estimated and recordedlease payments over the lease term. Leases with initial terms less than 12 months are not recognized as leases. For operating leases, an incremental borrowing rate, as determined at the endlease commencement date, is used to determine the present value of each reporting period based on estimated amountsthe lease payments. For finance leases, the rate implicit in the lease is used to determine the present value of energy deliveredthe lease payments. Lease terms include options to customers sinceextend or terminate the date of each customer’s last meter reading. The unbilled revenuelease when it is based on estimates of daily system demand volumes, customer usage by class, temperature impacts, line losses and the most recent customer rates.
IPL and WPL accrue revenues from their wholesale customers to the extentreasonably certain that the actual net revenue requirements calculated in accordance with FERC-approved formula rates for the reporting period are higher or lower than the amounts billed to wholesale customers during such period. Regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities are recorded as the offset for these accrued revenues under formulaic rate-making programs. As of June 30, 2018, the related amounts accrued for IPL and WPL were not material.
IPL and WPL participate in bid/offer-based wholesale energy and ancillary services markets operated by MISO. The MISO transactions are grouped together, resulting in a net supply to or net purchase from MISO for each hour of each day. The net supply to MISOoption will be exercised. Operating lease expense is recorded as bulk power sales in “Electric utility revenues” and the net purchase from MISO is recorded in “Electric production fuel and purchased power” in the income statements.
Non-utility - Revenues from Alliant Energy’s non-utility businesses are primarily from its Transportation business and are recognized over time as services are rendered or goods are delivered to customers.
Taxes Collected from Customers - Sales or various other taxes collected by certain of Alliant Energy’s subsidiaries on behalf of other agencies are recorded on a netstraight-line basis over the expected lease term. Finance lease expense is comprised of depreciation and interest expenses. Finance lease assets are not included in revenues.depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the underlying asset or the lease term.
Other - Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for: (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less; and (ii) contracts for which revenue is recognized at the amount to which they have the right to invoice for goods delivered or services performed.
NOTE 1(d) New Accounting Standards -
Revenue RecognitionCredit Losses - In May 2014,June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard providing principlesrequiring use of a current expected credit loss model rather than an incurred loss method, which is intended to result in more timely recognition of credit losses on trade receivables and certain other assets. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL will adopt this standard on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method of adoption, which requires cumulative effect adjustments to retained earnings on January 1, 2020 upon adoption. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on their financial statements.
Cloud Computing Arrangements - In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard that clarifies capitalization and presentation requirements of implementation costs incurred in cloud computing arrangements. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL will adopt this standard on January 1, 2020 and are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on their financial statements.
Leases - In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard requiring lease assets and lease liabilities, including operating leases, to be recognized on the balance sheet. The accounting for recognizing revenue for the transfer of promised goods or servicescapital leases, now referred to customersas finance leases, remains unchanged with the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.adoption of this standard. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL adopted this standard on January 1, 20182019 using the modified retrospective method of adoption, whichan optional transition approach and there was applied to contracts with customers that were completed subsequent to January 1, 2018. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL utilized a portfolio approach upon adoption, which involved evaluating portfolios of contracts with similar characteristics, where the effects of applying the standard were not expected to be materially different than evaluating on an individual contract basis. Upon adoption, there were no cumulative effect adjustments madeadjustment to the balance sheets as of January 1, 2018 retained earnings balances. In addition, prior2019. Prior period amounts have not been restated to reflect the adoption of this standard and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Upon transition to the new standard, Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL elected the land easement transition practical expedient, for which existing land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the original accounting standards did not have a material change in revenue recognition, including the timing and pattern of revenue recognition, as a result of the adoption of this standard. Refer to Notes 1(c) and 8 for further discussion of revenue recognition.
Leases - In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard requiring lease assets and lease liabilities, including operating leases,need to be recognized onevaluated under the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The standard also requires disclosure
new accounting standard. In addition, Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL currently expectevaluated land easements that were previously accounted for as leases and determined that the majority of these land easements relate to adopt this standard onjoint-use land sites, and do not meet the criteria for leases under the new accounting standard. Therefore, these land easement arrangements are no longer reflected as operating leases effective January 1, 20192019. Refer to Note 7 for further discussion of leases.
Cash Flows Statements - On January 1, 2018, Alliant Energy and are evaluating the impact of this standard on their financial condition and results of operations and expect an increase in assets and liabilities from recognizing operating leases on their balance sheets.
Presentation of Net Periodic Pension and Postretirement Benefit Costs - In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issuedIPL adopted an accounting standard amending the income statement presentation of the components of net periodic benefit costs for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The standard requires entities to (1) disaggregate the current service cost component from the other components of net periodic benefit costs and present it with other employee compensation costs in the income statement; and (2) include the other components in the income statement outside of operating income. Only the service cost component of net periodic benefit costs is eligible for capitalization into property, plant and equipment; however, IPL and WPL, as rate-regulated entities, capitalize the other components of net periodic benefit costs into regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 and used the retrospective method of adoption for the presentation requirements and prospective method of adoption for the capitalization requirements. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL used the actual net periodic benefit costs adjusted for approximately 40% of net periodic benefit costs allocated to capital projects for the retrospective method of adoption for the presentation requirements. The change in presentation resulted in a decrease in “Other operation and maintenance” expenses and an increase in “Other (income) and deductions” in Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s income statements of $4.4 million, $1.8 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and $8.7 million, $3.5 million and $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.
Cash Flows Statements - In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard providing specific guidance on several cash flow classification matters. The accounting standardthat requires classification of the consideration received for the beneficial interest obtained for transferring accounts receivable from IPL’s sales of accounts receivable program as an investing activity, instead of an operating activity. Alliant Energy and IPL and WPL retrospectively adopted this standard on January 1, 2018, usingcurrently use a method of presentation that allocates cash flows between operating and investing activities based on daily transactional activity. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, Alliant Energy and IPL initially utilized a method of presentation that allocated cash flows between operating and investing activities based on monthly transactional activity. If the methodology was based on a method other than monthly, it may result in a different reclassification between operating and investing cash flows. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Alliant Energy and IPL reclassified $374.5 million2018, the change in method of the related cash received from IPL’s sales of accounts receivable program from operating activitiespresentation to investing activities. The related impact ondaily transactional activity increased Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s operating cash flows statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $681.9 million.
In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard requiring restricted cash to be included within beginning-of-periodby $339.4 million, and end-of-period cashAlliant Energy’s and cash equivalents in theIPL’s operating cash flows statements. Alliant Energy, IPLincreased to $274.4 million and WPL adopted this standard on January 1, 2018, which was applied retrospectively. Refer to Note 1(b) for further discussion of restricted cash.$12.8 million, respectively.

The offsetting obligation has been discounted and the elimination of the deduction for federal income taxes, effective January 1, 2022. Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2018 were remeasured based upon the new tax rate.

Non-utility Wind Farm in Oklahoma - Alliant Energy’s interest in a non-utility wind farm in Oklahoma commenced in July 2017. As a result, there was no corresponding equity income recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. The equity income recognized in the first half of 2018 was primarily related to the impacts of Federal Tax Reform. The liquidation method utilized to recognize Alliant Energy’s share of the wind farm’s earnings includes utilizing the federal income tax rate in effect as of the end of the measurement period. The lower federal income tax rate effective as of January 1, 2018 resulted in an acceleration of earnings attributable to Alliant Energy’s interest in the Oklahoma wind farm. This increase in earnings is expected to reverse over time.

NOTE 8. REVENUES
Revenues from Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s utility businesses are primarily from retail and wholesale electric and gas sales provided to customers based on approved tariffs or specific contracts with customers. IPL’s and WPL’s primary performance obligations under such arrangements are to deliver electricity and gas, and their customers simultaneously receive and consume the electricity and gas. For such arrangements, revenues are recognized equivalent to the value of the electricity or gas supplied during each period, including amounts billed during each period and changes in amounts estimated to be billed at the end of each period. IPL and WPL apply the right to invoice method to measure progress towards completing performance obligations to transfer electricity and gas to their customers.
IPL provides retail electric and gas service to customers in Iowa, and WPL provides retail and wholesale electric and retail gas service to customers in Wisconsin. IPL also sells electricity to wholesale customers in Minnesota, Illinois and Iowa, as well as steam from its Prairie Creek Generating Station to high-pressure steam customers in Iowa.
IPL’s and WPL’s retail electric and gas revenues include sales to residential, commercial and industrial customers. IPL’s and WPL’s retail electric and gas customer prices are based on IPL’s and WPL’s cost of service and are determined through general rate review proceedings and various tariff filings with the IUB and PSCW, respectively. Such tariff-based services provide electricity or gas to customers without a defined contractual term.
IPL and WPL have wholesale electric market-based rate authority from FERC allowing them to participate in wholesale energy markets (e.g. MISO) and transact directly with third parties. This authority from FERC allows sales of electricity referred to as bulk power sales based on current market values. FERC also allows IPL and WPL to enter into power supply agreements with municipalities and rural electric cooperatives with defined contractual terms, which include standard pricing mechanisms that are detailed in current tariffs accepted by FERC through wholesale rate review proceedings.
Revenues from Alliant Energy’s non-utility business customers are primarily from its Transportation business, which includes a short-line railway that provides freight service between Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Iowa City, Iowa; a barge terminal and hauling services on the Mississippi River; and other transfer and storage services.

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, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, 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, amounts would not be materially different from gross amounts of derivative assets and derivative liabilities at June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018. 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) Legal ProceedingsCommodity Contracts -
Flood Damage Claims - In 2013, several plaintiffs purporting to represent a class of residential and commercial property owners filed a complaint against Cedar Rapids and Iowa City Railway Company (CRANDIC), Alliant Energy and various other defendants in the Iowa District Court for Linn County. Plaintiffs assert claims of negligence and strict liability based on their allegations that CRANDIC (along with other defendants) caused or exacerbated flooding of the Cedar River in June 2008. In February 2016, the Iowa District Court for Linn County ruled in favor of Alliant Energy and CRANDIC and dismissed all claims against them, resulting in no loss. In June 2018, the Supreme Court of Iowa affirmed the decision of the Iowa District Court for Linn County dismissing all claims against the defendants. Alliant Energy does not currently believe any material losses for this complaint are both probable and reasonably estimated, and therefore has not recognized any material loss contingency amounts as of June 30, 2018.
NOTE 13(d) Guarantees and Indemnifications -
Whiting Petroleum - In 2004, Alliant Energy sold its remaining interest in Whiting Petroleum. Whiting Petroleum is an independent oil and gas company. 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 general partnership agreements in the oil and gas industry, including with respect to the future abandonment of certain platforms off the coast of California and related onshore plant and equipment owned by the partnerships. The guarantees do not include a maximum limit. As of June 30, 2018, the presentfair value of the abandonment obligations is estimated at $35 million. Alliant Energy is not aware of any material liabilities related to these guarantees of which it is probable that Alliant Energy Resources, LLC will be obligated to payFTR and therefore has notnatural gas commodity contracts categorized as Level 3 was recognized any material liabilities related to this guarantee as of June 30, 2018.
Non-utility Wind Farm in Oklahoma - In July 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 $98 million as of June 30, 2018 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, 2018.
IPL’s Minnesota Electric Distribution Assets - IPL provided indemnifications associated with the July 2015 sale of its Minnesota electric distributionnet derivative assets for losses resulting from potential breach of IPL’s representations, warranties and obligations under the sale agreement. Alliant Energy and IPL believe the likelihood of having to make any material cash payments under these indemnifications is remote. IPL has not recorded any material liabilities related to these
indemnifications as of June 30, 2018. The general terms of the indemnifications provided by IPL included a maximum limit of $17 million and expire in October 2020.
NOTE 13(e) 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, 2018, 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, 2018, such amounts for WPL were not material.:

WPL Consent Decree - In 2013, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin approved a Consent Decree that WPL, along with the other owners of Edgewater and Columbia, entered into with the EPA and the Sierra Club, thereby resolving claims against WPL. Such claims included allegations that the owners of Edgewater, Nelson Dewey and Columbia violated the Prevention of Significant Deterioration program requirements, Title V Operating Permit requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Wisconsin State Implementation Plan designed to implement the CAA.
WPL has completed various requirements under the Consent Decree. WPL’s remaining requirements include installing an SCR system at Columbia Unit 2 and fuel switching or retiring Edgewater Unit 4 by December 31, 2018. The Consent Decree also establishes sulfur dioxide (SO2), NOx and particulate matter emission rate limits for Columbia Units 1 and 2, and Edgewater Units 4 and 5. In addition, the Consent Decree includes annual plant-wide SO2 and NOx emission caps for Columbia and Edgewater. Alliant Energy and WPL currently expect to recover material costs incurred by WPL related to compliance with the terms of the Consent Decree from WPL’s electric customers.
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 CAA 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 installing an SCR system or equivalent NOx reduction system at Ottumwa by December 31, 2019, and fuel switching or retiring Burlington by December 31, 2021 and Prairie Creek Units 1 and 3 by December 31, 2025.
The Consent Decree also establishes SO2, NOx and particulate matter emission rate limits with varying averaging times for Burlington, Lansing, M.L. Kapp, Ottumwa and Prairie Creek. In addition, the Consent Decree includes calendar-year SO2 and NOx emission caps for Prairie Creek, and calendar-year SO2 and NOx emission caps in aggregate for Burlington, Lansing, M.L. Kapp, Ottumwa and Prairie Creek. 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 to comply with certain of these rules could be significant. Specific current, proposed or potential environmental matters include, among others: Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, Effluent Limitation Guidelines, Coal Combustion Residuals Rule, and various legislation and EPA regulations to monitor and regulate the emission of greenhouse gases, including carbon emissions from new (CAA Section 111(b)) and existing (CAA Section 111(d)) fossil-fueled EGUs.
NOTE 14. SEGMENTS OF BUSINESSCOMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
NOTE 14(a) Capital Purchase Commitments - Various contractual obligations contain minimum future commitments related to capital expenditures for certain construction projects. IPL’s projects include the expansion of wind generation. WPL’s projects include the West Riverside Energy Center. At June 30, 2019, Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s minimum future commitments for these projects were $268 million, $237 million and $31 million, respectively.
NOTE 14(b) Other Purchase Commitments - Various commodity supply, transportation and storage contracts help meet obligations to provide electricity and natural gas to utility customers. In addition, there are various purchase commitments associated with other goods and services. At June 30, 2019, the fourth quarterrelated minimum future commitments were as follows (in millions):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This MDA includes information relating to Alliant Energy, and IPL and WPL (collectively, the Utilities), as well as ATC Holdings, AEF and Corporate Services. 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 20172018Form 10-K.10-K. Unless otherwise noted, all “per share” references in MDA refer to earnings per diluted share.
2019 HIGHLIGHTS
Key highlights since the filing of the 2018 Form 10-K include the following:
| |
| • | In March 2019, IPL filed requests with the IUB to increase annual base rates for its Iowa retail electric and gas customers, which were based on a forward-looking test period that includes 2020. IPL concurrently filed for interim retail electric rates based on a 2018 historical Test Year, which were implemented effective April 1, 2019. Intervenor testimony was filed in August 2019 addressing, among other things, the return on common equity percentage used to calculate the interim rate increase, as well as various positions on rate design and revenue requirement, including authorized returns on production tax credits carryforwards, for final rates.Refer to Note 2 for details. |
In March 2019, IPL placed approximately 470 megawatts of new wind generation in service at the Upland Prairie and English Farms wind sites. IPL’s retail electric customers began to see the rate impacts of this renewable generation with the interim electric rates effective April 1, 2019.
In March 2019, the IUB approved IPL’s energy efficiency plan for 2019 through 2023, which provides direct financial savings to customers and provides cost-effective options to help electric and gas customers reduce their energy usage. The energy efficiency costs, which are lower than previous energy efficiency plans, are reflected on electric customer bills beginning June 2019.
| |
| • | In January and March 2019, AEF, a subsidiary of Alliant Energy, purchased two freight management companies. These non-utility acquisitions enhance Alliant Energy’s Transportation value to customers by adding customized supply chain solution capabilities to their portfolio of service offerings. Refer to Note 4 for details. |
The installation of a selective catalytic reduction system at IPL’s Ottumwa Unit 1 was completed in the first quarter of 2019, which supports compliance obligations under the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule and IPL’s Consent Decree.
In April 2019, IPL issued $300 million of 3.60% senior debentures due 2029. The senior debentures were issued as green bonds, and all of the net proceeds were allocated for the construction and development of IPL’s wind projects.
In June 2019, WPL issued $350 million of 3.00% debentures due 2029. The net proceeds from the issuance were used by WPL to reduce its outstanding commercial paper and retire its $250 million 5% debentures that matured in July 2019.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview - Alliant Energy’s net income and earnings per weighted average common share (EPS) attributable to Alliant Energy common shareowners for the second quarter were as follows (dollars in millions, except per share amounts):
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2018 | | 2017 |
| | Income (Loss) | | EPS | | Income | | EPS |
| Utilities and Corporate Services |

The table above 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.
Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s net income increased by $6 million, $9 million and $2 million, respectively, for the three-month period. Alliant Energy’s increase was primarily due to higher retail electric sales due to warmer temperatures in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, and higher margins resulting from IPL’s and WPL’s increasing rate base. These items were partially offset by higher depreciation expense and the timing of operation and maintenance expenses. Additional earnings details for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 are discussed below.
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.

Alliant Energy’s Utilities and Corporate Services net income decreased by $5 million for the three-month period, primarily due to lower retail electric sales due to cooler temperatures in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period last year, higher depreciation expense and timing of income tax expense. These items were partially offset by higher margins resulting from IPL’s and WPL’s increasing rate base.
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):

Temperatures - Heating degree days (HDD) and cooling degree days (CDD) are calculated using a simple average of the high and low temperatures each day compared to a 65 degree base. Normal degree days are calculated using a rolling 20-year average of historical HDD and CDD. The following table summarizes the approximate quarterly temperature statistics and resulting impacts on IPL’s and WPL’s electric and gas sales.
|
| | | | | |
| | 2018 | | 2017 | | Resulting Impact in 2018 Compared to 2017 |
| First quarter (HDD) | 2% colder than normal | | 13% warmer than normal | | Increase in IPL’s and WPL’s electric and gas sales due to higher demand by customers for heating |
| Second quarter (CDD) | 63% warmer than normal | | 2% cooler - 13% warmer than normal | | Increase in IPL’s and WPL’s electric sales due to higher demand by customers for air cooling |
Electric and Gas Revenues and Sales Summary - Electric and gas revenues (in millions), and MWh and Dth sales (in thousands), for the three and six months ended June 30 were as follows:

STRATEGIC OVERVIEW
The strategic overview summary included in the 2017 Form 10-K has not changed materially, except as described below.
Generation Plans -
Wind Generation - The strategic plan includes the planned development of up to 1,200 MW of wind generation in aggregate (up to 1,000 MW at IPL and up to 200 MW at WPL).
IPL’s Expansion of Wind Generation - In April 2018, IPL received approval from the IUB for advance rate-making principles for up to 500 MW of new wind generation, which is in addition to the 500 MW of new generation approved by the IUB in October 2016. The April 2018 IUB decision approved IPL’s requested advance rate-making principles, except for the return on common equity for the calculation of AFUDC during the construction period, of which the IUB approved a return of 9.6%.
IPL currently has on-going, new wind generation development of up to 1,000 MW utilizing the following wind sites:
|
| | | | |
Wind Site | | Nameplate Capacity | | Location |
Upland Prairie | | Up to 300 MW | | Clay and Dickinson Counties, Iowa |
Richland | | Up to 210 MW | | Sac County, Iowa |
Golden Plains | | Up to 200 MW | | Winnebago and Kossuth Counties, Iowa |
Whispering Willow Expansion | | Up to 200 MW | | Franklin County, Iowa |
English Farms | | Up to 170 MW | | Poweshiek County, Iowa |
WPL’s Expansion of Wind Generation - In May 2018, WPL filed for approval from the PSCW to own up to 150 MW of new wind generation in Kossuth County, Iowa. WPL has entered into an agreement to purchase the wind farm after development is complete, pending approval from the PSCW, which is currently expected in early 2019. If approved, construction is currently expected to start in summer 2019.
ReferOther Income and Deductions Variances - The following items contributed to Note 3 for discussion of WPL’s April 2018 acquisition of 55 MW of the Forward Wind Energy Center.
Coal-Fired Generation -
Plant Retirement - Refer to Note 2 for discussion of the June 2018 retirement of IPL’s M.L. Kapp Unit 2.
RATE MATTERS
The rate matters summary included in the 2017 Form 10-K has not changed materially, except as described below.
Retail Base Rate Filings -
WPL’s Retail Electric(increased) decreased other income and Gas Rate Review (2019/2020 Test Period) - In August 2018, the PSCW issued a decision approving WPL’s proposed settlement for its retail electric and gas rate review covering the 2019/2020 Test Period, which was based on a stipulated agreement between WPL and intervener groups. Under the settlement, WPL retail electric and gas base rates will not change through the end of 2020. Retail electric revenue requirements resulting from increasing investments in rate base (including West Riverside) are being offset by lower fuel-related costs and Federal Tax Reform refunds. Retail gas revenue requirements resulting from increasing investments in rate base are being offset by Federal Tax Reform refunds. Any changes granted from this decision will be effective January 1, 2019. The fuel-related cost component of WPL’s retail electric rates for 2020 will be addressed in a separate filing, which is currently expected to occur in the second or third quarter of 2019.
WPL’s settlement maintains the currently authorized return on common equity (ROE) of 10.0% and extends, with certain modifications, an earnings sharing mechanism through 2020. Under the earnings sharing mechanism, WPL will defer a portion of its earnings if its annual regulatory ROE exceeds 10.25% during the 2019 and 2020 Test Period. WPL must defer 50% of its excess earnings between 10.25% and 10.75%, and 100% of any excess earnings above 10.75%. The settlement was calculated based on the following key assumptions (Common Equity (CE); Long-term Debt (LD); Short-term Debt (SD); Weighted-average Cost of Capital (WACC); Net Investment Rate Base (NIRB)):
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Utility | | Test | | Regulatory Capital Structure | | After-tax | | Return on | | Average Rate Base |
| Type | | Period | | CE | | LD | | SD | | WACC | NIRB (a) | | (in millions) (b) |
| Electric | | 2019 | | 52.6% | | 43.5% | | 3.9% | | 7.47% | | 6.95% | |
| $3,507 |
|
| Electric | | 2020 | | 52.5% | | 43.8% | | 3.7% | | 7.44% | | 7.08% | | 3,955 |
|
| Gas | | 2019 | | 52.6% | | 43.5% | | 3.9% | | 7.47% | | 6.84% | | 363 |
|
| Gas | | 2020 | | 52.5% | | 43.8% | | 3.7% | | 7.44% | | 6.97% | | 387 |
|
| |
(a) | Return on NIRB includes an adjustment to the after-tax WACC to account for working capital, including impacts from Federal Tax Reform reclassifications of excess deferred taxes. |
| |
(b) | Average rate base amounts reflect WPL’s allocated retail share of rate base and do not include construction work in progress or a cash working capital allowance, and were calculated using a forecasted 13-month average for the test periods. The PSCW provides a return on selected construction work in progress and a cash working capital allowance by adjusting the percentage return on rate base. |
IPL’s Retail Gas Rate Review (2017 Test Year) - Refer to Note 2 for discussion of the request IPL filed with the IUB in May 2018 to increase annual gas base rates for its Iowa retail gas customers and the subsequent interim retail gas rate increase, which was implemented effective May 14, 2018.
IPL’s Retail Electric Rate Review (2016 Test Year) - Refer to Note 2 for discussion of IPL’s final annual retail electric rate increasedeductions for the 2016 Test Year, which was effective May 1, 2018.
Federal Tax Reform - In January 2018, the IUB issued an order requiring IPLthree and other investor-owned utilities in Iowa to track all calculated differences since January 1, 2018 resulting from Federal Tax Reform. In April 2018, the IUB issued an order on IPL’s electric and gas Federal Tax Reform proposals. The IUB order approved the return of approximately $35 million of estimated annual tax benefits for 2018 to IPL’s retail electric customers utilizing the tax benefit rider effective May 1, 2018. These benefits are subject to true-up. For the threesix months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018 $7 million of tax benefits were returned to IPL’s retail electric customers. The IUB order also approved the return of approximately $3 million of estimated annual tax benefits for 2018 to IPL’s retail gas customers utilizing interim rates implemented May 14, 2018 for IPL’s 2017 Test Year gas rate review. These benefits are subject to further review by the IUB. Lastly, the IUB order determined the excess deferred taxes resulting from the remeasurement of accumulated deferred income taxes caused by Federal Tax Reform (approximately $365 million revenue requirement) will be addressed in IPL’s current and future retail electric and gas rate reviews.as follows (in millions):

In January 2018, the PSCW issued an order directing WPL and other investor-owned utilities in Wisconsin to defer the revenue requirement impacts since January 1, 2018 resulting from Federal Tax Reform. In May 2018, the PSCW issued an order directing WPL to return annual tax benefits for 2018 to WPL’s retail electric and gas customers. WPL is refunding a total of $36 million and $4 million in 2018 to its retail electric and gas customers, respectively. The estimated tax benefits related to the first half of 2018 were provided as a one-time credit of $18 million and $2 million on WPL’s retail electric and gas customers’ June 2018 bills, respectively. Thereafter, WPL currently expects to provide a monthly refund equal to one-twelfth of the estimated annual tax benefits for 2018 to its retail electric and gas customers through the end of 2018. The PSCW decision also determined the excess deferred taxes resulting from the remeasurement of accumulated deferred income taxes caused by Federal Tax Reform (approximately $460 million revenue requirement) will be addressed in WPL’s current and future retail electric and gas rate reviews.
In March 2018, FERC issued an order granting a waiver request filed in February 2018 by a group of MISO transmission owners, including ITC Midwest LLC and ATC, allowing transmission rates to be updated to reflect the impacts resulting from Federal Tax Reform. As a result, beginning in March 2018, amounts billed by ITC Midwest LLC and ATC decreased due to the impacts from Federal Tax Reform. IPL and WPL currently expect lower electric transmission service expense of approximately $35 million and $10 million, respectively, in 2018 due to Federal Tax Reform. IPL began providing the benefits of the lower transmission service expenses to its electric customers utilizing the transmission cost recovery mechanism effective May 1, 2018. WPL will defer the benefits of the lower transmission service expenses from Federal Tax Reform until a future electric rate review. Based on IPL’s and WPL’s electric transmission cost recovery mechanisms, they currently do not expect that any changes to electric transmission service costs billed by ITC Midwest LLC and ATC, respectively, will have a material impact on their financial condition and results of operations.
Iowa Tax ReformIncome Taxes - Refer to Note 29 for discussiondetails of changes to the Iowa stateeffective income tax rate due to Iowa tax reform enacted in May 2018 and the resulting impact on Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s financial statements.rates.
Iowa Energy Legislation - In May 2018, Iowa enacted new energy-related legislation. The most significant provisions of the legislation for Alliant Energy and IPL include the option for energy providers to use a forward-looking test year instead of the current historical test year approach for electric and gas rate reviews, and adjustment of electric transmission service costs through a permanent transmission rider.
IPL’s Duane Arnold Energy Center Purchased Power Agreement - In 2012, IPL entered into a nuclear generation PPA for the purchase of approximately 430 MW of capacity and the resulting energy from DAEC for a term from February 2014 through December 2025. In July 2018, IPL entered into an amendment to shorten the term of the DAEC PPA by five years in exchange for a $110 million buyout payment by IPL in September 2020, which would change Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s future commitments related to the DAEC PPA. To replace some of the energy from DAEC, IPL entered into four new PPAs with expected 20-year terms beginning in 2020 and 2021 for the purchase of approximately 340 MW of energy in aggregate from existing Iowa wind farms that are expected to be repowered. The amendment to shorten the term of the DAEC PPA and the four new wind PPAs are expected to provide significant energy cost savings to IPL customers.
In July 2018, IPL filed an application with the IUB for approval to recover the buyout payment from IPL’s retail customers over a five-year period at IPL’s pre-tax weighted average cost of capital in effect at the time recovery commences. Three of the four wind PPAs and the amendment to the DAEC PPA are contingent upon IUB approval of IPL’s application regarding the recovery of the buyout payment. IPL requested a decision from the IUB on its application by November 30, 2018.
