(a)Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s available credit facility capacities reflect outstanding commercial paper classified as both short- and long-term debt at March 31, 2025.
NOTE 6(b) Long-term Debt - In March 2025, AEF entered into a $300 million variable rate (5% as of March 31, 2025) term loan credit agreement (with Alliant Energy as guarantor), which expires in March 2026. This term loan credit agreement amended and restated the term loan credit agreement that expired in March 2025, and retired the $300 million variable rate term loan set forth therein. AEF’s restated term loan credit agreement includes an option to increase the amount outstanding with one or more additional term loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100 million.
As of March 31, 2025, $100 million of commercial paper was recorded in “Long-term debt, net” on Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s balance sheets due to the existence of the long-term single credit facility that back-stops this commercial paper balance, along with Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s intent and ability to refinance these balances on a long-term basis. As of March 31, 2025, this commercial paper balance had a 4.6% interest rate. In the second quarter of 2025, Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s commercial paper classified as long-term debt increased $50 million.
Convertible Senior Notes - As of March 31, 2025, the conditions allowing holders of Alliant Energy’s convertible senior notes due 2026 (the Notes) to convert their Notes were not met, and the Notes were classified as “Current maturities of long-term debt” on Alliant Energy’s balance sheet. As of March 31, 2025, the net carrying amount of the Notes was $572 million, with unamortized debt issuance costs of $3 million, and the estimated fair value (Level 2) of the Notes was $617 million. As of March 31, 2025, there were no shares of Alliant Energy’s common stock related to the potential conversion of the Notes included in diluted EPS based on Alliant Energy’s average stock prices and the relevant terms of the Notes.

NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES
Income Tax Rates - Overall effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, which were computed by dividing income tax expense (benefit) by income before income taxes, were as follows. The effective income tax rates were different than the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes, production tax credits, investment tax credits, amortization of excess deferred taxes and the effect of rate-making on property-related differences. Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s effective income tax rates were lower in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to the additional tax credits from renewable generation and energy storage projects placed in service in 2024 and/or expected to be placed in service in 2025.

As of March 31, 2025, Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation awards was $22 million, $11 million and $10 million, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of between 1 year and 2 years.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, performance shares and restricted stock units were granted to key employees under the equity-based compensation plans as follows. These shares and units will be paid out in shares of common stock, and are therefore accounted for as equity awards.
| Weighted Average | |||||||||||

As of March 31, 2025, 408,289 shares were included in the calculation of diluted EPS related to the nonvested equity awards.
NOTE 10. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Commodity Derivatives -
Notional Amounts - As of March 31, 2025, gross notional amounts and settlement/delivery years related to outstanding swap contracts, option contracts, physical forward contracts and financial transmission rights (FTRs) that were accounted for as commodity derivative instruments were as follows (units in thousands; megawatt-hour (MWh); dekatherm (Dth)):

Financial Statement Presentation - Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value each reporting date on the balance sheets as assets or liabilities as follows (in millions):
| Alliant Energy | IPL | WPL | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Current derivative assets | $44 | $41 | $26 | $29 | $18 | $12 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Non-current derivative assets | 26 | 34 | 14 | 19 | 12 | 15 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Current derivative liabilities | 16 | 26 | 6 | 11 | 10 | 15 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Non-current derivative liabilities | 36 | 32 | 4 | 2 | 32 | 30 |
Based on IPL’s and WPL’s cost recovery mechanisms, the changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities/assets result in comparable changes to regulatory assets/liabilities on the balance sheets.
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 up to the amount of exposure under the contracts, or the contracts may need to be unwound and underlying liability positions paid. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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, derivative assets and derivative liabilities related to commodity contracts would have been presented on the balance sheets as follows (in millions):
| Alliant Energy | IPL | WPL | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Gross | Gross | Gross | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (as reported) | Net | (as reported) | Net | (as reported) | Net | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| March 31, 2025 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Derivative assets | 75 | 64 | 48 | 43 | 27 | 21 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Derivative liabilities | 58 | 47 | 13 | 8 | 45 | 39 |
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 Commitments - Various contractual obligations contain minimum future commitments related to capital expenditures for certain construction projects, including IPL’s and WPL’s expansion of energy storage, and improvements at the natural gas-fired Neenah Energy Facility and Sheboygan Falls Energy Facility. At March 31, 2025, Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s minimum future commitments for these projects were $301 million, $136 million and $163 million, respectively.
NOTE 12(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 March 31, 2025, the related minimum future commitments, excluding amounts for purchased power commitments that do not have minimum thresholds but will require payment when electricity is generated by the provider, were as follows (in millions):
| Alliant Energy | IPL | WPL | |||||||||||||||
| Natural gas | $872 | $500 | $372 | ||||||||||||||
| Coal | 112 | 62 | 50 | ||||||||||||||
| Other (a) | 130 | 59 | 33 | ||||||||||||||
| $1,114 | $621 | $455 |
(a)Includes individual commitments incurred during the normal course of business that exceeded $1 million at March 31, 2025.
NOTE 12(c) Guarantees and Indemnifications -
Whiting Petroleum Corporation (Whiting Petroleum) - In 2004, Alliant Energy sold its remaining interest in Whiting Petroleum, 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, has guaranteed the partnership obligations of an affiliate of Whiting Petroleum under multiple general partnership agreements in the oil and gas industry. The guarantees do not include a maximum limit. Based on information made available to Alliant Energy by Whiting Petroleum, the Whiting Petroleum affiliate holds an approximate 6% share in the partnerships, and currently known obligations include costs associated with the future abandonment of certain facilities owned by the partnerships. The general partnerships were formed under California law, and Alliant Energy Resources, LLC may need to perform under the guarantees if the affiliate of Whiting Petroleum is unable to meet its partnership obligations.
Whiting Petroleum previously completed bankruptcy proceedings and business combinations, which substantially reduce the likelihood that Alliant Energy will be obligated to make any payments under these guarantees. As of March 31, 2025, the currently known partnership obligations for the abandonment obligations are estimated at $54 million, which represents Alliant Energy’s currently estimated maximum exposure under the guarantees. Alliant Energy is not currently aware of, nor does it currently expect to incur in the future, any material liabilities related to these guarantees and therefore has not recognized any material liabilities related to these guarantees as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
| 20 |
Non-utility Wind Farm in Oklahoma - In 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 purchased power agreement (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 $43 million as of March 31, 2025 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Transfers of Renewable Tax Credits - IPL and WPL have entered into agreements to transfer renewable tax credits from certain wind, solar and energy storage facilities to other corporate taxpayers in exchange for cash. As of March 31, 2025, IPL and WPL provided indemnifications associated with $193 million and $121 million, respectively, of proceeds for renewable tax credits transferred to other corporate taxpayers in the event of an adverse interpretation of tax law, including whether the related tax credits meet the qualification requirements. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL believe the likelihood of having to make any material cash payments under these indemnifications is remote.
Electric Transmission Infrastructure - IPL and WPL have entered into agreements with their respective electric transmission service providers related to the construction of infrastructure necessary for the data centers that are expected to be built in IPL’s and WPL’s service territories by certain of their customers. If these construction projects were to be terminated prior to the infrastructure being placed in service by the electric transmission service providers, then IPL or WPL must reimburse their respective provider for the related costs incurred to-date. As of March 31, 2025, IPL’s and WPL’s related guarantees were approximately $6 million and $15 million, respectively. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL are not aware of any material liabilities related to these guarantees that it is probable that they will be obligated to pay and therefore have not recognized any material liabilities related to these guarantees as of March 31, 2025.
NOTE 12(d) 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 March 31, 2025, 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):
| Alliant Energy | IPL | WPL | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Range of estimated future costs | $8 | - | $30 | $6 | - | $19 | $2 | - | $11 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Current and non-current environmental liabilities | $13 | $8 | $5 |
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 Clean Air Act 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 fuel switching or retiring Prairie Creek Units 1 and 3 by December 31, 2025. 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 and electric and gas distribution systems 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 the Clean Air Act.
