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 SEC. 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 2025 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.

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.

Note 1(b) Leases -

Finance Leases - WPL is currently leasing the Sheboygan Falls Energy Facility from AEF’s Non-utility Generation business. WPL is responsible for the operation of the EGU and has exclusive rights to its output. In the second quarter of 2026, WPL’s rent payments increased following the completion of the Sheboygan Falls Unit 2 advanced gas path project, which increased the efficiency and capacity of the Sheboygan Falls Energy Facility, resulting in a lease modification and remeasurement, which increased both “Property, plant and equipment, net” and “Other liabilities” by approximately $70 million on WPL’s balance sheet. For Alliant Energy, the leased Sheboygan Falls Energy Facility is eliminated upon consolidation and therefore is not reflected in Alliant Energy’s balance sheet.

NOTE 1(c) New Accounting Standards -

Environmental Credits - In May 2026, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard that establishes recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements for environmental credits and environmental credit obligations. The standard requires environmental credits to be evaluated based on their intended use in determining whether the costs of such credits are recognized as assets and how those assets are subsequently measured. The standard also establishes a framework for recognizing and measuring environmental credit obligations and requires expanded annual and interim disclosures regarding environmental credits and environmental credit obligations, including information about the nature, intended use, measurement and settlement of environmental credits and related obligations. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL currently expect to adopt this standard on January 1, 2028. Upon adoption, the standard is required to be applied retrospectively through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance as of January 1, 2028. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on their financial condition and results of operations and do not currently anticipate a material increase in environmental credit assets or environmental credit obligations upon adoption.

NOTE 3. RECEIVABLES

Sales of Accounts Receivable - IPL maintains a Receivables Purchase and Sale Agreement (Receivables Agreement) whereby it may sell its customer accounts receivables, unbilled revenues and certain other accounts receivables to a third party through wholly-owned and consolidated special purpose entities. In March 2026, IPL amended and extended through March 2029 the purchase commitment from the third party to which it sells receivables. The transfers of receivables meet the criteria for sale accounting established by the transfer of financial assets accounting rules. Under the amended Receivables Agreement, the limit on cash proceeds fluctuates between $5 million and $180 million, which IPL may change periodically throughout the year. As of June 30, 2026, the limit on cash proceeds was $138 million and IPL had no available capacity under its sales of accounts receivable program. IPL’s maximum and average outstanding aggregate cash proceeds (based on daily outstanding balances) related to the sales of accounts receivable program for the three and six months ended June 30 were as follows (in millions):


	Three Months		Six Months
	2026	2025	2026	2025
Maximum outstanding aggregate cash proceeds	$142	$110	$142	$110
Average outstanding aggregate cash proceeds	105	60	96	84

The attributes of IPL’s receivables sold under the Receivables Agreement were as follows (in millions):


	June 30, 2026	December 31, 2025
Customer accounts receivable	$140	$147

(a)Alliant Energy reports its share of equity earnings from certain corporate venture fund investments on a one-quarter lag. Equity earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were primarily driven by increased valuations of certain underlying investments within the venture funds, including an investment in a company that provides onsite power solutions. In June 2026, the onsite power solutions company completed an initial public offering. Due to the one-quarter reporting lag, the financial effects of the initial public offering are expected to be recognized in Alliant Energy’s equity earnings in the third quarter of 2026.

At-the-Market Offering Programs - In March 2026, Alliant Energy fully utilized the remaining capacity under its $1.3 billion 2025 at-the-market offering program and Alliant Energy filed a new prospectus supplement and executed a related distribution agreement, under which it may sell up to $1 billion in aggregate of its common stock through 2029 through an at-the-market offering program that includes an equity forward sales component (the 2026 at-the-market offering program). Alliant Energy expects to use proceeds from the issuance of common stock for general corporate purposes.

Alliant Energy entered into forward sale agreements under its 2026 at-the-market offering program with various counterparties who, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, borrowed and sold an aggregate of 6,550,857 shares of Alliant Energy common stock at an aggregate gross sales price of $482 million, including approximately $4 million in commissions, to the counterparties payable by Alliant Energy when the forward sale agreements are settled. Alliant Energy has not yet received any proceeds from this program and no amounts have been or will be recorded in equity on Alliant Energy’s balance sheets until the forward sale agreements settle. Alliant Energy currently expects to settle the forward sale agreements prior to December 31, 2028 through physical delivery of shares of common stock in exchange for cash proceeds at the then-applicable forward sale price; however, Alliant Energy may elect cash settlement or net share settlement for all or a portion of the obligations under the forward sale agreements. As of June 30, 2026, the weighted-average forward price, net of commissions, was $72.89 per share and is subject to daily adjustment based on a floating interest rate factor and decreased by other fixed amounts specified in the forward sale agreements. As of June 30, 2026, Alliant Energy could have settled all of its outstanding forward sale agreements under the 2026 at-the-market offering program with physical delivery of 6,912,857 shares of Alliant Energy common stock to the counterparties in exchange for cash of $504 million.

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, Alliant Energy physically settled its obligations under various forward sale agreements entered into under its 2025 at-the-market offering program with the issuance and delivery of 929,759 shares of common stock at a weighted average forward sale price of $63.24 per share, net of commissions. Alliant Energy received net proceeds of $59 million, which were recorded in equity on Alliant Energy’s balance sheet. Alliant Energy used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which included repayment of commercial paper. Alliant Energy currently expects to settle the remainder of the 2025 at-the-market offering program forward sale agreements in 2026 and 2027 through physical delivery of shares of common stock in exchange for cash proceeds at the then-applicable forward sale price; however, Alliant Energy may elect cash settlement or net share settlement for all or a portion of the obligations under the forward sale agreements. As of June 30, 2026, the weighted-average forward price, net of commissions, of all of the outstanding forward agreements under the 2025 at-the-market offering was $66.06 per share and is subject to daily adjustment based on a floating interest rate factor and decreased by other fixed amounts specified in the forward sale agreements. As of June 30, 2026, Alliant Energy could have settled all of its outstanding forward sale agreements under the 2025 at-the-market offering program with physical delivery of 18,668,448 shares of Alliant Energy common stock to the counterparties in exchange for cash of $1,233 million.

Alliant Energy has concluded that the forward sale agreements meet the derivative scope exception for certain contracts involving an entity’s own equity. Until settlement of the forward sale agreements, Alliant Energy’s EPS dilution resulting from the agreements, if any, is determined using the treasury stock method. Share dilution occurs when the average market price of Alliant Energy stock during the reporting period is higher than the forward sale price as of the end of the reporting period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, 1,741,407 and 46,957 incremental shares were included in the calculation of diluted EPS related to the securities under the forward sale agreements for the 2025 and 2026 at-the-market offering programs, respectively.

NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Rates - The overall income tax rates shown in the following table were computed by dividing income tax expense (benefit) by income before income taxes. The effective income tax rates were different than the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes, net of federal benefits (primarily from state income taxes in Iowa and Wisconsin), production tax credits, investment tax credits, amortization of excess deferred taxes and the effect of rate-making on property-related differences. Also impacting Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were additional tax credits during 2026 from renewable generation and energy storage projects previously placed in service, as well as projects currently expected to be placed in service during 2026. Alliant Energy’s effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was also impacted by changes in state income tax apportionment.


	Alliant Energy				IPL				WPL
	Three Months		Six Months		Three Months		Six Months		Three Months		Six Months
	2026	2025	2026	2025	2026	2025	2026	2025	2026	2025	2026	2025

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities -

Carryforwards - At June 30, 2026, the carryforwards and expiration dates were estimated as follows (in millions):


	Range of Expiration Dates	Alliant Energy	IPL	WPL
Federal net operating losses	Indefinite	$47	$14	$—
State net operating losses	2026-2046	360	7	1
Federal tax credits	2034-2046	700	461	224


			20

Table of Contents

State Income Tax Apportionment - Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts reported in the financial statements. Deferred taxes are recorded using currently enacted tax rates and estimates of state income tax apportionment. Estimates of state income tax apportionment are supported by historical data and reasonable projections. In the third quarter of 2025, WPL entered into an electric service agreement with a customer who expected to build a data center in WPL’s service territory. In the first quarter of 2026, the customer selected an alternative data center location in IPL’s service territory, and as a result, the electric service agreement with WPL was terminated and subsequently renegotiated and executed with IPL. Accordingly, Alliant Energy currently expects a decrease in Wisconsin state income tax apportionment and an increase in Iowa state income tax apportionment, primarily due to the change in projected electric utility revenues at WPL and IPL. Alliant Energy parent company’s deferred tax assets were remeasured to reflect the change in estimated state income tax apportionment, which resulted in a $12 million reduction to income tax expense in Alliant Energy’s income statement and a decrease in deferred tax liabilities on Alliant Energy’s balance sheet in the first quarter of 2026.

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
	June 30, 2026	December 31, 2025	June 30, 2026	December 31, 2025	June 30, 2026	December 31, 2025
Current derivative assets	$111	$49	$79	$33	$32	$16
Non-current derivative assets	10	20	6	11	4	9
Current derivative liabilities	38	25	15	9	23	16
Non-current derivative liabilities	33	26	6	2	27	24

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s current derivative assets increased primarily due to new FTRs resulting from the annual FTR auction in the second quarter of 2026 operated by MISO. 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 June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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
June 30, 2026
Derivative assets	$121	$114	$85	$80	$36	$34
Derivative liabilities	71	64	21	16	50	48
December 31, 2025
Derivative assets	69	59	44	40	25	19
Derivative liabilities	51	41	11	7	40	34

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 expansion of IPL’s gas generation, IPL’s and WPL’s expansion of energy storage and repowering projects at WPL’s Bent Tree Energy Facility. At June 30, 2026, Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s minimum future commitments for these projects were $278 million, $171 million and $106 million, respectively.

Tariff-Related Costs - In February 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not provide the Executive Branch of the U.S. government with authority to impose tariffs, and, in March 2026, the Court of International Trade ordered Customs and Border Protection to refund IEEPA tariffs previously collected. Certain third-party suppliers engaged by IPL and WPL act as importers of record and may be eligible for refunds of tariffs previously paid. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL are currently evaluating the potential recovery of tariff-related costs, which could reduce amounts previously capitalized as part of the construction of generation and energy storage facilities. Due to uncertainty regarding the eligibility, timing and amount of tariff-related cost recoveries, Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL concluded that recovery is not probable and therefore have not recognized any amounts related to potential tariff cost recoveries as of June 30, 2026.

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. Purchased power commitments primarily relate to minimum payments associated with electric generating capacity agreements. In addition, there are various purchase commitments associated with other goods and services. At June 30, 2026, the related minimum future commitments, excluding amounts for purchased power commitments that do not have minimum thresholds but require payment when electricity is generated by the provider and amounts for future commitments to deliver power to electric customers that do not have current minimum thresholds but will be billed for requirements when power is provided, were as follows (in millions):


	Alliant Energy	IPL	WPL
Natural gas	$1,156	$484	$672
Coal	162	89	73
Purchased power	180	180	—
Other (a)	107	55	25
	$1,605	$808	$770

(a)Includes individual commitments incurred during the normal course of business that exceeded $1 million at June 30, 2026.

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 June 30, 2026, the currently known partnership obligations for the abandonment obligations are estimated at $92 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 June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

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 $35 million as of June 30, 2026 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, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

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 June 30, 2026, IPL and WPL provided indemnifications associated with $391 million and $310 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 June 30, 2026, IPL’s and WPL’s related guarantees were approximately $184 million and $103 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 June 30, 2026 and December 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 June 30, 2026, 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	$11	-	$34	$7	-	$23	$4	-	$11
Current and non-current environmental liabilities	$13			$8			$5

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 GHG, including the Clean Air Act.

NOTE 12(e) Collective Bargaining Agreements - At June 30, 2026, employees covered by collective bargaining agreements represented 57%, 73% and 85% of total employees of Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL, respectively. In May 2026, WPL’s collective bargaining agreement with International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 965 expired, representing 29% and 85% of total employees of Alliant Energy and WPL, respectively. While the process to renew the agreement is underway and a tentative agreement has been reached, Alliant Energy and WPL are currently unable to predict the outcome.
