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:

• | federal and state regulatory or governmental actions, including the impact of energy, tax (including potential tax reform), financial and health care legislation, and of regulatory agency orders;

• | IPL’s and WPL’s ability to obtain adequate and timely rate relief to allow for, among other things, the recovery of fuel costs, operating costs, transmission costs, environmental compliance and remediation costs, deferred expenditures, capital expenditures, and remaining costs related to EGUs that may be permanently closed, earning their authorized rates of return, and the payments to their parent of expected levels of dividends;

• | the ability to continue cost controls and operational efficiencies;

• | the impact of IPL’s pending retail electric base rate review;

• | weather effects on results of utility operations;

• | the impact of the economy in IPL’s and WPL’s service territories and the resulting impacts on sales volumes, margins and the ability to collect unpaid bills;

• | 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;

• | developments that adversely impact the ability to implement the strategic plan;

• | the ability to qualify for the full level of production tax credits on planned and potential new wind farms and the impact of changes to production tax credits for existing wind farms;

• | the direct or indirect effects resulting from breakdown or failure of equipment in the operation of gas distribution systems, such as leaks, explosions and mechanical problems, and compliance with gas transmission and distribution safety regulations, such as proposed rules issued by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration;

• | impacts of IPL’s future tax benefits from Iowa rate-making practices, including deductions for repairs expenditures and allocation of mixed service costs, and recoverability of the associated regulatory assets from customers, when the differences reverse in future periods;

• | risks associated with non-regulated renewable investments;

• | any material post-closing adjustments related to any past asset divestitures, including the sales of IPL’s Minnesota electric and natural gas assets, and Whiting Petroleum, which could result from, among other things, warranties, parental guarantees or litigation;

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

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.
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, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. 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.
Discontinued operations reported in Alliant Energy’s income statements is related to various warranty claims associated with the sale of RMT in 2013, which have resulted in operating expenses and income subsequent to the sale.
NOTE 1(b) New Accounting Standards -
Revenue Recognition - In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard providing principles for recognizing revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers with the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard also requires disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL will adopt this standard on January 1, 2018 and currently expect to use the modified retrospective method of adoption. If applicable, this method requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance on January 1, 2018, as if the standard had always been in effect. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL do not currently anticipate a significant change in revenue recognition for retail electric and gas sales, which represent the majority of Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s revenues. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL continue to evaluate additional impacts of this standard on their financial condition, results of operations and disclosures.
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 for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The standard also requires disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL currently expect to adopt this standard on January 1, 2019 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 issued 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. In addition, only the service cost component of net periodic benefit costs is eligible for capitalization into property, plant and equipment, when applicable. IPL and WPL, as rate-regulated entities, currently expect to capitalize the other components of net periodic benefit costs into regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL will adopt this standard on January 1, 2018. Upon adoption, the standard must be applied retrospectively for the presentation requirements and prospectively for the capitalization requirements. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL continue to evaluate additional impacts of this standard on their financial condition and results of operations.

Tax-related - Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s tax-related regulatory assets are generally impacted by certain property-related differences at IPL for which deferred tax is not recorded in the income statement pursuant to Iowa rate-making principles. Deferred tax amounts for such property-related differences at IPL are recorded to regulatory assets, along with the necessary revenue requirement tax gross-ups. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s tax-related regulatory assets increased primarily due to property-related differences for qualifying repair expenditures.
Electric generating units retired early - In June 2017, IPL retired Sutherland Units 1 and 3 and reclassified the remaining net book value of these EGUs from property, plant and equipment to a regulatory asset on Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s balance sheets. IPL is currently earning a return on the remaining net book value of these EGUs, as well as recovering the remaining net book value of these EGUs from both its retail and wholesale customers. IPL has requested continued recovery of the remaining net book value of these EGUs from both its retail and wholesale customers over a 10-year period from the IUB and FERC, with decisions currently expected in 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Derivatives - Refer to Note 11 for discussion of derivative assets and derivative liabilities.
Electric transmission cost recovery - A group of MISO cooperative and municipal utilities previously filed two complaints with FERC requesting a reduction to the base return on equity used by MISO transmission owners, including ITC and ATC LLC to determine electric transmission costs billed to utilities, including IPL and WPL. In September 2016, FERC issued an order on the first complaint and established a base return on equity of 10.32%, excluding any incentive adders granted by FERC, effective September 28, 2016, and for the refund period from November 12, 2013 through February 11, 2015 (first complaint period). In the first half of 2017, Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL received the refunds for the first complaint period of $50 million, $39 million and $11 million, respectively, after final true-ups. IPL and WPL each recorded the retail portion of the refunds to a regulatory liability. Pursuant to IUB approval, IPL’s retail portion of the refund from ITC is currently being refunded to its retail customers in 2017, beginning May 2017. WPL’s retail portion of the refund from ATC LLC will remain in a regulatory liability until such refunds are approved to be returned to retail customers in a future rate proceeding. IPL’s and WPL’s wholesale customers received their share of the refunds through normal monthly billing practices in the first quarter of 2017.

Table of Contents
IPL’s tax benefit riders - IPL’s tax benefit riders utilize regulatory liabilities to credit bills of IPL’s Iowa retail electric and gas customers to help offset the impact of rate increases on such customers. These regulatory liabilities are related to tax benefits from tax accounting method changes for repairs expenditures and cost of removal expenditures. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s “IPL’s tax benefit riders” regulatory liabilities decreased by $36 million as follows (in millions):

Electric tax benefit rider credits |  | $33 |
Gas tax benefit rider credits | 3 |

Utility Rate Reviews -
IPL’s Retail Electric Rate Review (2016 Test Year) - In April 2017, IPL filed a request with the IUB to increase annual electric base rates for its Iowa retail electric customers by $176 million, or approximately 12%. The request was based on a 2016 historical Test Year as adjusted for certain known and measurable changes occurring up to 12 months after the commencement of the proceeding. The key drivers for the filing included recovery of capital projects, primarily power grid modernization and investments that advance cleaner energy, including Marshalltown. An interim retail electric base rate increase of $102 million, or approximately 7%, on an annual basis, was implemented effective April 13, 2017, without regulatory review, and will be subject to refund pending determination of final rates. Tax benefit rider credits and MISO transmission owner return on equity refunds are expected to reduce the effect of the rate increase on customer bills in 2017 and 2018. IPL currently expects to implement final rates by the first quarter of 2018. The IUB must issue a decision on requests for retail rate changes within 10 months of the date of the application for which changes are filed. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, Alliant Energy and IPL recorded increases in electric margins of $20 million in conjunction with the interim retail electric base rate increase.
WPL’s Retail Electric and Gas Rate Review (2017/2018 Test Period) - In December 2016, WPL received an order from the PSCW authorizing WPL to implement an increase in annual retail electric rates of $9 million, or approximately 1%, and an increase in annual retail gas base rates of $9 million, or approximately 13%. The $9 million net annual retail electric rate increase reflects a $60 million increase in base rates, partially offset by a $51 million reduction in fuel-related costs, using an estimate for 2017 fuel-related costs. These increases were effective January 1, 2017 and extend through the end of 2018. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, Alliant Energy and WPL recorded increases in electric margins of $16 million and $38 million, and increases in gas margins of $2 million and $4 million, respectively, in conjunction with the base rate increases authorized in the PSCW’s December 2016 order.
WPL’s Retail Fuel-related Rate Filing (2018 Test Year) - In July 2017, WPL filed a request with the PSCW to increase annual rates for WPL’s retail electric customers by $6 million, or approximately 1%, in 2018. The increase primarily reflects a change in expected fuel-related costs in 2018. Any rate changes granted from this request are expected to be effective January 1, 2018.
WPL’s Retail Fuel-related Rate Filing (2017 Test Year) - In March 2017, WPL filed an application with the PSCW for a mid-year fuel-related cost adjustment for 2017. Fuel-related costs for 2017 are currently expected to exceed the approved 2017 fuel-related cost plan by more than the 2% annual bandwidth and result in a deferral of under-collected fuel-related costs of $12 million for 2017. WPL’s application proposes to offset any deferral of projected under-collection of fuel-related costs from 2017 against the balance owed to customers for over-collected fuel-related costs for 2016 discussed below, and any remaining net balance at the end of 2017 would then be returned to, or collected from, customers in a future rate proceeding. Under WPL’s proposal, customer rates would not change during 2017 for the mid-year fuel-related cost adjustment. As of June 30, 2017, fuel-related costs for 2017 outside of the approved bandwidth were $8 million and are included in “Other” in Alliant Energy’s and WPL’s regulatory assets table above.
WPL’s Retail Fuel-related Rate Filing (2016 Test Year) - Pursuant to a 2015 PSCW order, WPL’s 2016 fuel-related costs were subject to deferral since they were outside an annual bandwidth of plus or minus 2% of the approved annual forecasted fuel-related costs. Retail fuel-related costs incurred by WPL in 2016 were lower than fuel-related costs used to determine rates for such period resulting in an over-collection of fuel-related costs. As of June 30, 2017, fuel-related costs for 2016 outside of the approved bandwidth were $9 million and are included in “Commodity cost recovery” in Alliant Energy’s and WPL’s regulatory liabilities table above.

Electric plant in service |  | $40 |
Current assets | 2 |
Total assets acquired | 42 |
Other liabilities | 10 |
Net assets acquired |  | $32 |

The final amount to be recovered for IPL’s electric rate-making purposes will be determined by the IUB as part of IPL’s Iowa retail electric base rate review for the 2016 Test Year, which was filed in April 2017.
Retirement of IPL’s Sutherland Units 1 and 3 - In June 2017, IPL retired Sutherland Units 1 and 3 and reclassified the remaining net book value of these EGUs from property, plant and equipment to a regulatory asset on Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s balance sheets. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion.
NOTE 4. RECEIVABLES

ATC Investment - On December 31, 2016, pursuant to a June 2016 PSCW order, WPL Transco, LLC was liquidated and WPL transferred its investment in ATC LLC to ATI. As a result, WPL no longer records equity income from its prior investment in ATC LLC. There were no impacts of this transfer to Alliant Energy’s consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2016, ATI owns Alliant Energy’s entire investment in ATC.
Non-regulated Wind Investment in Oklahoma - In July 2017, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEF acquired a 50% cash equity ownership interest in a 225 MW non-regulated wind farm located in Oklahoma, which started commercial operations in December 2016. The wind farm provides electricity to a third-party under a long-term purchased power agreement. The expected increase in assets from this acquisition is approximately $98 million, subject to working capital adjustments. Alliant Energy will not maintain or operate the wind farm, and provided a parent guarantee of its subsidiary’s indemnification obligations under the operating agreement and purchased power agreement. Alliant Energy will account for this non-regulated investment under the equity method of accounting. In conjunction with the acquisition, in July 2017, AEF entered into a $95 million, 364-day variable-rate term loan credit agreement (with Alliant Energy as guarantor).
NOTE 5(b) Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance Policies - During the six months ended June 30, 2016, certain of Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s company-owned life insurance policies were liquidated.

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, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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, 2017 and December 31, 2016. 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 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
NOTE 12(a) Capital Purchase Obligations - Various contractual obligations contain minimum future commitments related to capital expenditures for certain construction projects. IPL’s projects include the installation of an SCR system at Ottumwa Unit 1 to reduce NOx emissions at the EGU. WPL’s projects include West Riverside and the installation of an SCR system at Columbia Unit 2 to reduce NOx emissions at the EGU. At June 30, 2017, Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s minimum future commitments related to certain contractual obligations for these projects were $53 million, $4 million and $49 million, respectively.
NOTE 12(b) Operating Expense Purchase Obligations - Various commodity supply, transportation and storage contracts help meet obligations to provide electricity and natural gas to utility customers. In addition, there are various operating expense purchase obligations associated with other goods and services. At June 30, 2017, minimum future commitments related to these operating expense purchase obligations were as follows (in millions):

| Alliant Energy |  | IPL |  | WPL
Purchased power (a) |  | $1,326 |  |  |  | $1,231 |  |  |  | $95 |
Natural gas | 774 |  |  | 402 |  |  | 372 |
Coal (b) | 140 |  |  | 66 |  |  | 74 |
Other (c) | 30 |  |  | 28 |  |  | 2 |
|  | $2,270 |  |  |  | $1,727 |  |  |  | $543 |

(a) | Includes payments required by purchased power agreements for capacity rights and minimum quantities of MWhs required to be purchased.

(b) | Corporate Services entered into system-wide coal contracts on behalf of IPL and WPL that include minimum future commitments. These commitments were assigned to IPL and WPL based on information available as of June 30, 2017 regarding expected future usage, which is subject to change.

(c) | Includes individual commitments incurred during the normal course of business that exceeded $1 million at June 30, 2017.

NOTE 12(c) Legal Proceedings -
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 August 2016, the Iowa District Court for Linn County dismissed all claims against the remaining defendants. In September 2016, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Supreme Court of Iowa. 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, 2017.
NOTE 12(d) Guarantees and Indemnifications -
RMT - In 2013, Alliant Energy sold RMT. RMT provided renewable energy services, including construction and high voltage connection services for wind and solar projects. As part of the sale, Alliant Energy indemnified the buyer for any claims, including claims of warranty under the project obligations that were commenced or are based on actions that occurred prior to the sale, except for liabilities already accounted for through adjustments to the purchase price. Alliant Energy also guaranteed RMT’s performance obligations related to certain of RMT’s projects that were commenced prior to Alliant Energy’s sale of RMT. In the first quarter of 2017, all warranty periods and performance guarantees expired and all outstanding warranty claims were resolved.

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, 2017, the present value of the abandonment obligations is estimated at $32 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 pay and therefore has not recognized any material liabilities related to this guarantee as of June 30, 2017.
IPL’s Minnesota Electric Distribution Assets - IPL provided indemnifications associated with the July 2015 sale of its Minnesota electric distribution 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, 2017. The general terms of the indemnifications provided by IPL included a maximum limit of $17 million and expire in October 2020.
NOTE 12(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.
Environmental liabilities related to the MGP sites are recorded based upon periodic studies. Such amounts are based on the best current estimate of the remaining amount to be incurred for investigation, remediation and monitoring costs for those sites where the investigation process has been or is substantially completed, and the minimum of the estimated cost range for those sites where the investigation is in its earlier stages. There are inherent uncertainties associated with the estimated remaining costs for MGP projects primarily due to unknown site conditions and potential changes in regulatory agency requirements. It is possible that future cost estimates will be greater than current estimates as the investigation process proceeds and as additional facts become known. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted. At June 30, 2017, 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, were as follows (in millions). At June 30, 2017, such amounts for WPL were not material.

| Alliant Energy |  | IPL
Range of estimated future costs |  | $12 |  | - | $31 |  |  | $10 |  | - | $27
Current and non-current environmental liabilities | 17 |  | 14

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 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. WPL is in the process of completing approximately $7 million in environmental mitigation projects. 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; fuel switching or retiring Prairie Creek Unit 4 by June 1, 2018, 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, Dubuque, Lansing, M.L. Kapp, Ottumwa, Prairie Creek and Sutherland. IPL is in the process of completing approximately $6 million in environmental mitigation projects. Alliant Energy and IPL currently expect to recover material costs incurred by IPL related to the environmental control systems and environmental mitigation projects 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.

Table of Contents
Financial Results - Alliant Energy’s net income and EPS attributable to Alliant Energy common shareowners for the second quarter were as follows (dollars in millions, except per share amounts):

| 2017 |  | 2016
| Income |  | EPS |  | Income (Loss) |  | EPS
Continuing operations: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Utilities, ATC Investment and Corporate Services |  | $90.9 |  |  |  | $0.40 |  |  |  | $78.6 |  |  |  | $0.35 |
Non-regulated and Parent | 3.4 |  |  | 0.01 |  |  | 5.8 |  |  | 0.02 |
Income from continuing operations | 94.3 |  |  | 0.41 |  |  | 84.4 |  |  | 0.37 |

Net income |  | $94.3 |  |  |  | $0.41 |  |  |  | $83.9 |  |  |  | $0.37 |

The table above includes EPS from continuing operations for utilities, ATC Investment and Corporate Services, and non-regulated and parent, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Alliant Energy believes EPS from continuing operations for utilities, ATC Investment and Corporate Services, and non-regulated and parent 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.
Income from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016 included higher revenues resulting from IPL’s interim retail electric base rate increase implemented in April 2017 and WPL’s retail electric and gas base rate increases implemented in January 2017. These items were partially offset by higher depreciation expense and higher energy efficiency cost recovery amortization at WPL.
Refer to “Results of Operations” for additional details regarding the various factors impacting earnings during the second quarters of 2017 and 2016.
2017 Overview - Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL continue to focus on achieving their financial objectives and executing their strategic plan. Key developments since the filing of the 2016 Form 10-K include the following:

• | Marshalltown Generating Station - IPL’s construction of Marshalltown, an approximate 660 MW natural gas-fired combined-cycle EGU, was completed in April 2017. Final capital expenditures are currently estimated to be approximately $645 million to construct the EGU and a pipeline to supply natural gas to the EGU, excluding transmission network upgrades and AFUDC.

• | Franklin County Wind Farm - In April 2017, the 99 MW Franklin County wind farm was transferred from AEF to IPL.

• | IPL’s and WPL’s Potential Expansion of Wind Generation - In addition to IPL’s 500 MW expansion of wind generation approved by the IUB in October 2016 and transfer of the 99 MW Franklin County wind farm to IPL in 2017, IPL and WPL are currently exploring options to own and operate up to 500 MW and 200 MW, respectively, of additional new wind generation. Current estimated capital expenditures assume 200 MW of wind generation for each of IPL and WPL. The amount and timing of these wind projects will largely depend on regulatory approvals and the acquisition of wind sites. In August 2017, IPL filed an application with the IUB for advance rate-making principles for up to 500 MW of the additional wind generation. Refer to “Strategic Overview” for further discussion.

• | Non-regulated Wind Investment in Oklahoma - In July 2017, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEF acquired a 50% cash equity ownership interest in a 225 MW non-regulated wind farm located in Oklahoma. Refer to Note 5(a) for further discussion.

• | IPL’s Retail Electric Rate Review (2016 Test Year) - In April 2017, IPL filed a request with the IUB to increase annual electric base rates for its Iowa retail electric customers by $176 million, or approximately 12%. The request was based on a 2016 historical Test Year as adjusted for certain known and measurable changes occurring up to 12 months after the commencement of the proceeding. The key drivers for the filing included recovery of capital projects, primarily power grid modernization and investments that advance cleaner energy, including Marshalltown. An interim retail electric base rate increase of $102 million, or approximately 7%, on an annual basis, was implemented effective April 13, 2017. IPL currently expects to implement final rates by the first quarter of 2018.

• | WPL’s Retail Fuel-related Rate Filing (2018 Test Year) - In July 2017, WPL filed a request with the PSCW to increase annual rates for WPL’s retail electric customers by $6 million, or approximately 1%, in 2018. The increase primarily reflects a change in expected fuel-related costs in 2018. Any rate changes granted from this request are expected to be effective January 1, 2018.

• | MISO Transmission Owner Return on Equity Complaints - A group of MISO cooperative and municipal utilities previously filed two complaints with FERC requesting a reduction to the base return on equity used by MISO transmission owners, including ITC and ATC LLC to determine electric transmission costs billed to utilities, including IPL and WPL. In September 2016, FERC issued an order on the first complaint and established a base return on equity

of 10.32%, excluding any incentive adders granted by FERC, effective September 28, 2016, and for the refund period from November 12, 2013 through February 11, 2015 (first complaint period). In the first half of 2017, Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL received the refunds for the first complaint period of $50 million, $39 million and $11 million, respectively, after final true-ups. Pursuant to IUB approval, IPL’s retail portion of the refund from ITC is currently being refunded to its retail customers in 2017, beginning May 2017. WPL’s retail portion of the refund from ATC LLC will remain in a regulatory liability until such refunds are approved to be returned to retail customers in a future rate proceeding.

• | At-the-Market Offering Program - In the second quarter of 2017, Alliant Energy issued 3.1 million shares of common stock through an at-the-market offering program and received cash proceeds of $124 million, net of $1 million in commissions and fees. The proceeds from the issuances of common stock were used for general corporate purposes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview - Second Quarter Results -
Alliant Energy - “Executive Overview” provides an overview of Alliant Energy’s second quarter 2017 and 2016 earnings and the various components of its business.
IPL - Earnings available for common stock increased $11 million primarily due to the impact of IPL’s interim retail electric base rate increase implemented on April 13, 2017, partially offset by higher depreciation expense.
WPL - Earnings available for common stock decreased $5 million primarily due to reduced equity income resulting from the transfer of WPL’s investment in ATC LLC to ATI on December 31, 2016, higher energy efficiency cost recovery amortizations during the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016, and higher depreciation expense. These items were largely offset by the impact of WPL’s retail electric and gas base rate increases implemented January 1, 2017.
Additional details of Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s second quarter 2017 and 2016 earnings are discussed below.
Utility Electric Margins - Electric margins are defined as electric operating revenues less electric production fuel, purchased power and electric transmission service expenses. Management believes that electric margins provide a meaningful basis for evaluating utility operations since electric production fuel, purchased power and electric transmission service expenses are generally passed through to customers, and therefore, result in changes to electric operating revenues that are comparable to changes in such expenses. These electric margins may not be comparable to how other entities define utility margin.
Second Quarter 2017 vs. Second Quarter 2016 Summary - Electric margins and MWh sales for the three months ended June 30 were as follows:

(a) | In December 2016, WPL received an order from the PSCW authorizing WPL to implement an increase in annual retail electric rates of $9 million, or approximately 1%. The $9 million net annual retail electric rate increase reflects a $60 million increase in base rates, partially offset by a $51 million reduction in fuel-related costs, using an estimate for 2017 fuel-related costs. The increase was effective January 1, 2017 and extends through the end of 2018. WPL no longer has winter rates that are lower than summer rates. Thus, the quarter-over-quarter variances resulting from the retail electric base rate increase will be larger during the winter quarters, compared to the summer quarters.

(b) | In April 2017, IPL filed a request with the IUB to increase annual electric base rates for its Iowa retail electric customers by $176 million, or approximately 12%. An interim retail electric base rate increase of $102 million, or approximately 7%, on an annual basis, was implemented effective April 13, 2017.

Temperatures - HDD and 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. HDD and CDD in Alliant Energy’s service territories for the three and six months ended June 30 were as follows:

The following table summarizes the approximate quarterly temperature statistics and resulting impacts on IPL’s and WPL’s electric and gas sales.

| 2017 |  | 2016 |  | Resulting Impact in 2017 Compared to 2016
First quarter (HDD) | 13% warmer than normal |  | 10% warmer than normal |  | Decrease in IPL’s and WPL’s electric and gas sales due to lower demand by customers for heating
Second quarter (CDD) | 2% cooler - 13% warmer than normal |  | 10% - 35% warmer than normal |  | Decrease in IPL’s and WPL’s electric sales due to lower demand by customers for air cooling

Estimated increases (decreases) to electric margins from the impacts of temperatures for the three and six months ended June 30 were as follows (in millions):

| Three Months |  | Six Months
| 2017 |  | 2016 |  | Change |  | 2017 |  | 2016 |  | Change
IPL |  | $1 |  |  |  | $4 |  |  |  | ($3 | ) |  |  | ($4 | ) |  |  | $— |  |  |  | ($4 | )

Total Alliant Energy |  | $— |  |  |  | $5 |  |  |  | ($5 | ) |  |  | ($9 | ) |  |  | ($1 | ) |  |  | ($8 | )

Sales Trends - Alliant Energy’s retail sales volumes decreased 1% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016. The decreases were primarily due to the impact of lower residential and commercial sales due to temperatures during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 and an extra day of retail sales during 2016 due to the leap year, partially offset by increases in WPL’s industrial sales from higher production and customer expansions.
Alliant Energy’s wholesale sales volumes decreased 2% and remained unchanged for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016, respectively. The three-month decrease was primarily due to the expiration of a wholesale power supply agreement with one of WPL’s partial-requirement wholesale customers on May 31, 2017.
Alliant Energy’s bulk power and other sales volumes 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 bulk power and other sales revenues were largely offset by changes in fuel-related costs, and therefore, did not have a significant impact on electric margins.

Electric Production Fuel and Purchased Power (Fuel-related) Expenses - Alliant Energy’s electric production fuel expense decreased $8 million and $22 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016, respectively. The decreases were primarily due to lower dispatch of WPL’s natural gas-fired EGUs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 partially due to higher natural gas prices and an outage at Riverside in 2017. The decrease was also due to changes in the under-/over-collection of fuel-related expenses that were outside the approved bandwidth at WPL. These items were partially offset by higher dispatch of IPL’s and WPL’s coal-fired EGUs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.
Alliant Energy’s purchased power expense decreased $8 million and increased $14 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016, respectively. The three-month decrease was primarily due to decreased volumes purchased resulting from higher dispatch of IPL’s and WPL’s coal-fired EGUs, partially offset by higher prices for electricity purchased by IPL and WPL from MISO wholesale energy markets. The six-month increase was primarily due to higher prices for electricity purchased by IPL and WPL from MISO wholesale energy markets.
Due to IPL’s cost recovery mechanism for retail fuel-related expenses, these changes in fuel-related expenses resulted in comparable changes in electric revenues, and therefore did not have a significant impact on Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s electric margins.
WPL’s cost recovery mechanism for retail fuel-related expenses supports deferrals of amounts that fall outside an approved bandwidth of plus or minus 2% of forecasted fuel-related expenses determined by the PSCW each year. The difference between revenue collected and actual fuel-related expenses incurred within the bandwidth increases or decreases Alliant Energy’s and WPL’s electric margins. WPL estimates the decrease to electric margins from amounts within the bandwidth was approximately $6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. WPL estimates the increases to electric margins from amounts within the bandwidth were approximately $1 million and $3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.
Electric Transmission Service Expense - Alliant Energy’s electric transmission service expense decreased $13 million and $16 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016, respectively, primarily due to lower electric transmission service amounts billed by ITC, ATC LLC and MISO. These items were partially offset by changes at IPL in the under-/over-collection of electric transmission service expense through the transmission cost rider and changes in WPL’s costs deferred pursuant to escrow treatment for the difference between actual electric transmission service costs and those costs used to determine rates. Refer to Note 2 for discussion of refunds received in 2017 from ITC and ATC LLC resulting from MISO transmission owner return on equity complaints.
Utility Gas Margins - Gas margins are defined as gas operating revenues less cost of gas sold. Management believes that gas margins provide a meaningful basis for evaluating utility operations since cost of gas sold is generally passed through to customers, and therefore, results in changes to gas operating revenues that are comparable to changes in cost of gas sold. These gas margins may not be comparable to how other entities define utility margin.

STRATEGIC OVERVIEW
The strategic overview summary included in the 2016 Form 10-K has not changed materially, except as described below.
Generation Plans -
Natural Gas-Fired Generation -
IPL’s Construction of Marshalltown - Refer to Note 3 for discussion of IPL’s construction of Marshalltown, which was completed in April 2017. Final capital expenditures are currently estimated to be approximately $645 million to construct the EGU and a pipeline to supply natural gas to the EGU, excluding transmission network upgrades and AFUDC.
Wind Generation - The strategic plan includes the planned and potential expansion of wind generation as follows:

Wind Generation (a) |  | Regulatory Application Filing Status
IPL - up to 500 MW |  | Approved by the IUB in October 2016
IPL - up to 500 MW (b) |  | Filed with the IUB in August 2017
WPL - up to 200 MW (b) |  | Plan to file with the PSCW in 2017

| 37 |

Table of Contents

(a) | IPL and WPL believe their respective planned and potential expansion of wind generation qualifies for the full level of production tax credits as a result of progress payments in 2016 for wind turbines.

(b) | Current estimated capital expenditures assume 200 MW of wind generation for each of IPL and WPL. The amount and timing of these wind projects will largely depend on regulatory approvals and the acquisition of wind sites.

IPL’s Expansion of Wind Generation - In October 2016, IPL received approval from the IUB for up to 500 MW of new wind generation. In August 2017, IPL filed an application with the IUB for advance rate-making principles for up to 500 MW of additional wind generation. The advance rate-making principles requested by IPL in the August 2017 application were as follows:

• | Up to 500 MW of additional wind generation that qualifies for the full level of production tax credits, regardless of the location in Iowa, with a cost cap of $1,780/kilowatt, including AFUDC and transmission costs. Any costs incurred in excess of this $1,780/kilowatt cost cap are expected to be incorporated into rates if determined to be reasonable and prudent.

• | A depreciable life of the wind generation facilities of 40 years, unless changed as a result of a contested case before the IUB.

• | An 11.0% return on common equity, with the exception of certain transmission facilities classified as intangible assets, which would earn the rate of return on common equity the IUB finds reasonable during a future rate review.

• | A return on common equity for the calculation of AFUDC during the construction period that is the greater of 10.0% or the percentage the IUB finds reasonable during IPL’s retail electric rate review for the 2016 Test Year.

• | The application of double leverage is deferred until IPL’s next retail electric base rate review or other future proceeding.

• | Amortization over a 10-year period of IPL’s prudently incurred and unreimbursed costs, effective with IPL’s next retail electric base rate review, if IPL cancels the construction of the wind generation.

IPL currently anticipates placing this proposed additional wind generation in service by 2020.
Franklin County Wind Farm - Refer to Note 3 for discussion of the transfer of the Franklin County wind farm assets from AEF to IPL in April 2017.
Coal-Fired Generation -
IPL’s Environmental Controls Projects - In May 2017, the IUB approved IPL’s most recent emissions plan and budget, which includes the SCR currently under construction at Ottumwa Unit 1.
Plant Retirements and Fuel Switching - In June 2017, IPL retired Sutherland Units 1 and 3 and Dubuque Units 3 and 4, and fuel switched Marshalltown Combustion Turbine Units 1-3 from oil to natural gas. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of the Sutherland Units 1 and 3 retirement.
Non-regulated Operations - The strategic plan for Alliant Energy’s non-regulated operations involves maintaining a modest portfolio of businesses that are accretive to earnings and cash flows. The non-regulated strategic plan continues to evolve through exploration of renewable investment opportunities within and outside of Alliant Energy’s service territories.
Non-regulated Wind Investment in Oklahoma - In July 2017, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEF acquired a 50% cash equity ownership interest in a 225 MW non-regulated wind farm located in Oklahoma. Refer to Note 5(a) for further discussion.
RATE MATTERS
The rate matters summary included in the 2016 Form 10-K has not changed materially, except as described below.
IPL’s Retail Electric Rate Review (2016 Test Year) - In April 2017, IPL filed a request with the IUB to increase annual electric base rates for its Iowa retail electric customers by $176 million, or approximately 12%. The request was based on a 2016 historical Test Year as adjusted for certain known and measurable changes occurring up to 12 months after the commencement of the proceeding. The key drivers for the filing included recovery of capital projects, primarily power grid modernization and investments that advance cleaner energy, including Marshalltown. An interim retail electric base rate increase of $102 million, or approximately 7%, on an annual basis, was implemented effective April 13, 2017. The interim base rate increase does not require a regulatory review, however, it will be subject to refund pending determination of final rates. Tax benefit rider credits and MISO transmission owner return on equity refunds are expected to reduce the effect of the

Table of Contents
rate increase on customer bills in 2017 and 2018. Intervenor testimony was filed in August 2017 addressing the revenue requirement and rate design. IPL currently expects to implement final rates by the first quarter of 2018. The IUB must issue a decision on requests for retail rate changes within 10 months of the date of the application for which changes are filed.
The requested interim and final rate increases were calculated based on the following (Return on Common Equity (ROE)):

| Interim Rates |  | Final Rates
Regulatory capital structure: |  |  |
Common equity | 49.1% |  | 49.1%
Long-term debt | 46.3% |  | 46.7%
Preferred equity | 4.6% |  | 4.2%
After-tax weighted average cost of capital: |  |  |
Marshalltown (ROE - 11.0%) | 8.1% |  | 8.0%
Emery (ROE - 12.23%) | 8.7% |  | 8.6%
Whispering Willow - East (ROE - 11.7%) | 8.4% |  | 8.3%
Other (ROE - 9.6% for interim rates and 10.3% for final rates) (a) | 7.4% |  | 7.7%
Retail electric rate base (b) | $3.8 billion |  | $4.1 billion

(a) | Other ROE for interim rates reflects the application of double leverage. Prior to application of double leverage, Other ROE for interim rates was 10.0%.
