ALLIANT ENERGY ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2012 RESULTS, 2013 EARNINGS GUIDANCE AND INCREASED ANNUAL COMMON STOCK DIVIDEND TARGET FOR 2013
Updates 2012 earnings guidance and forecasted 2012 - 2016 capital expenditures

MADISON, Wis. - November 9, 2012 - Alliant Energy Corporation (NYSE: LNT) today announced third quarter U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and non-GAAP consolidated earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations as follows:

“The utilities and non-regulated businesses have produced solid results for both the quarter and year-to-date. With one quarter remaining in 2012, we have narrowed our 2012 annual earnings guidance to the top half of the previous range,” said Patricia Kampling, Alliant Energy Chairman, President and CEO.

Utility and Corporate Services - Alliant Energy's Utility and Alliant Energy Corporate Services, Inc. (Corporate Services) operations generated $1.45 per share of non-GAAP EPS from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2012, which was $0.08 per share higher than the third quarter of 2011. Warmer weather in the third quarter of 2012, when compared to the third quarter of 2011, led to higher electric sales to customers, positively impacting Alliant Energy's utility business. Higher income from Interstate Power and Light Company's (IPL's) tax benefit rider also impacted third quarter earnings, but is not expected to have a material impact on 2012 total year earnings. These positive EPS drivers were partially offset by higher depreciation and nuclear purchased power capacity expense.

Non-regulated and Parent - Alliant Energy's non-regulated and parent operations generated ($0.11) per share of non-GAAP EPS from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2012, which was $0.01 per share higher than the third quarter of 2011. Earnings for Alliant Energy's non-regulated and parent businesses for the third quarters of 2012 and 2011 were negatively impacted by the timing of tax expense at the parent primarily due to IPL's tax benefit rider. The increase in EPS was primarily due to higher earnings generated by Alliant Energy's Transportation business.

Earnings Adjustments - Third quarter 2011 GAAP earnings were adjusted to exclude $2.1 million ($0.02 per share) of charges for emission allowance contracts impacted by the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule. Non-GAAP adjustments, which relate to material charges or income that are not normally associated with ongoing operations, are provided as a supplement to results reported in accordance with GAAP.

Electric tax benefit rider - In February 2011, IPL received a rate order from the Iowa Utilities Board authorizing IPL to implement its proposed electric tax benefit rider, which utilizes income tax benefits from certain tax initiatives to provide retail electric customers in Iowa credits on their electric bills. These credits on customers' electric bills reduced IPL's electric revenues by $61 million during 2011 and are expected to reduce IPL's electric revenues by approximately $80 million during calendar year 2012. The electric tax benefit rider also results in an equivalent reduction in IPL's income tax expense from the benefits of the tax initiatives, resulting in no material impact on 2011 and 2012 total year EPS. While the electric tax benefit rider is not expected to have a material impact on total year EPS, it does result in considerable quarter-over-quarter variation in EPS at IPL as well as the Parent. The credit on customer bills is based on kilowatt-hour usage, which is fairly consistent throughout the year. However, the offsetting tax benefits are recorded as a percentage of expected earnings for IPL and for Alliant Energy each quarter, which fluctuates significantly causing the considerable quarter-over-quarter variation. The following table shows the estimated quarterly impacts of the electric tax benefit rider on EPS at IPL and the Parent for 2012 and 2011:

2012 Earnings Guidance

Alliant Energy is narrowing its 2012 earnings guidance, which excludes a charge of $0.14 per share associated with state tax apportionment changes at the utilities resulting from the planned sale of RMT and non-recurring regulatory-related credits of $0.02 per share from the PSCW rate case decision discussed in the first and second quarter releases.
 
Revised

Utility and Corporate Services
$2.75 - $2.85

Non-regulated and Parent
0.15 - 0.20
0.10 - 0.20
Alliant Energy Consolidated
$2.90 - $3.05
$2.75 - $3.05

The 2012 earnings guidance does not include the impacts of any non-cash valuation adjustments, regulatory-related charges or credits, reorganization or restructuring charges, discontinued operations, changes in laws or regulations, adjustments made to deferred tax assets and liabilities from valuation allowances and state apportionment assumptions, pending lawsuits and disputes, federal and state income tax audits and other Internal Revenue Service proceedings or changes in accounting principles that may impact the reported results of Alliant Energy.

Drivers for Alliant Energy's 2012 earnings guidance include, but are not limited to:
Stable economy and resulting implications on utility sales
Normal weather and operating conditions in its utility service territories for the remainder of the year
Ability of IPL and WPL to earn their authorized rates of return
Income tax benefits at IPL from tax initiatives
Continuing cost controls and operational efficiencies
Execution of IPL's, WPL's and Alliant Energy Resources, LLC's (Resources') capital expenditure plans
RMT sale execution
Consolidated effective tax rate of 20% (excluding the impacts of the non-recurring state income tax charge)

2013 Earnings Guidance

Alliant Energy is issuing the following earnings guidance for 2013:
Utility and Corporate Services
$2.90 - $3.10
Non-regulated and Parent
0.05 - 0.15
Alliant Energy Consolidated
$2.95 - $3.25

“In 2013, we expect to see the earnings benefit of increasing WPL rate base and AFUDC resulting from utility investments, as well as benefits from our numerous tax initiatives,” said Kampling. “However, we expect a decline in non-regulated earnings for 2013 due to operating losses from our Franklin County wind project.”

The 2013 earnings guidance does not include the impacts of any non-cash valuation adjustments, regulatory-related charges or credits, reorganization or restructuring charges, discontinued operations, changes in laws or regulations, adjustments made to deferred tax assets and liabilities from valuation allowances and state apportionment assumptions, pending lawsuits and disputes, federal and state income tax audits and other Internal Revenue Service proceedings or changes in accounting principles that may impact the reported results of Alliant Energy.

Drivers for Alliant Energy's 2013 earnings guidance include, but are not limited to:
Stable economy and resulting implications on utility sales
Normal weather and operating conditions in its utility service territories
Ability of IPL and WPL to earn their authorized rates of return
Regulatory decisions impacting earnings at IPL from tax initiatives
Ability of WPL to recover future purchased power, fuel and fuel-related costs through rates in a timely manner
Continuing cost controls and operational efficiencies
Execution of IPL's and WPL's capital expenditure plans
Consolidated effective tax rate of 14%

2013 Annual Common Stock Dividend Target

Alliant Energy's Board of Directors approved an 8 cent increase in its 2013 expected annual common stock dividend target to $1.88 per share from the current annual dividend target of $1.80 per share. Payment of the 2013 quarterly dividends is subject to the actual dividend declaration by the Board of Directors, which is expected in January 2013 for the first quarter dividend.
