"The utilities produced solid results both for the quarter and year-to-date. With the one quarter remaining in 2011, we have narrowed our annual earnings guidance for our utilities," said Bill Harvey, Alliant Energy Chairman and CEO. "The negative performance of the parent and non-regulated is part timing and part substance. The timing component relates to tax expenses associated with IPL's Tax Benefit Rider which will even out by year's end. However, the disappointing underperformance at RMT, driven largely by subcontractor performance failure on solar projects in New Jersey, is substance. While this will be contained to 2011, it represents a real hit to earnings for this year. We have reduced our non-regulated guidance for the year to reflect this circumstance."
Utilities:
Alliant Energy's 2011 third quarter GAAP EPS from utility operations were $1.35 per share, which was $0.03 per share higher than the third quarter of 2010. Alliant Energy's 2011 third quarter non-GAAP EPS from utility operations were $1.37, which was $0.10 per share higher than the third quarter of 2010. Earnings for Alliant Energy's utility operations, when compared to the third quarter of 2010, were positively impacted by higher income due to accounting for Interstate Power and Light Company's (IPL's) Tax Benefit Rider which gives rise to considerable quarter-over-quarter variation in utility EPS, but is not expected to have a material impact on 2011 total year earnings, implementation of new Wisconsin Power and Light Company (WPL) retail base rates, positive weather impacts, and lower capacity payments for the Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant (Kewaunee). These positive EPS drivers were partially offset by higher depreciation and operating expenses for the Bent Tree wind project, lower WPL retail fuel cost recoveries, and lower electric weather-normalized sales resulting from lower use per residential customer.
Non-regulated and Parent:
Alliant Energy's 2011 third quarter GAAP EPS from non-regulated and parent operations were ($0.25) per share, which was $0.30 per share lower than the third quarter of 2010. Earnings for Alliant Energy's non-regulated and parent operations, when compared to the third quarter of 2010, were negatively impacted by timing of tax expense at the parent due to IPL's tax benefit rider of ($0.10) per share and losses at RMT Inc. (RMT) due to solar subcontractor performance of ($0.13) per share. The Tax Benefit Rider is not expected to have a material impact on 2011 total year earnings at the parent.
GAAP EPS were adjusted to exclude $0.02 per share of charges recognized in the third quarter of 2011 for emission allowance contracts impacted by the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule and $0.06 per share of income recognized in the third quarter of 2010 from the completion of Federal income tax audits. These non-GAAP adjustments, which relate to material charges or credits that are not normally associated with ongoing operations, are provided as a supplement to results reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted, or non-GAAP, operating earnings for the third quarter of 2011 and 2010 do not include the following items (after tax) that were included in reported GAAP earnings:

The following comments further explain selected drivers of earnings performance during the third quarter of 2011 versus 2010:
Tax Benefit Rider impacts at IPL and Parent: In February 2011, IPL received a rate order from the Iowa Utilities Board authorizing a final annual retail electric rate increase of $114 million from its 2009 test year rate case. This order also authorized IPL to implement its proposed 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 are expected to reduce IPL's electric revenues by approximately $60 million during calendar year 2011 with an equivalent reduction in IPL's 2011 income tax expense from the benefits of the tax initiatives, resulting in no expected impact on 2011 total year earnings. While the Tax Benefit Rider is not expected to impact 2011 total year earnings, 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 Tax Benefit Rider on EPS at IPL and the Parent:

WPL non-fuel retail electric rate increase: On January 1, 2011, WPL implemented new retail electric rates as a result of its rate case filed in April 2010. The $8 million annualized rate increase includes a $38 million increase in the non-fuel component of rates largely related to return on the investment and recovery of expenses for the Bent Tree wind project, partially offset by a $30 million decrease in the fuel component of rates.
RMT: The losses incurred by RMT in the third quarter of 2011 are largely due to issues with one of its solar subcontractors. Schedule delays, abandonment of work by the original subcontractor, and the need to hire another subcontractor to complete the project work in a timely manner has resulted in significant additional costs for RMT in the third quarter of 2011. RMT has filed a lawsuit against the subcontractor; however Alliant Energy is currently unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit and thus, RMT has not recognized any potential benefits from the recovery of damages.

"In 2012, we expect to see the earnings benefit of our reduced operation and tax expenses and increased AFUDC resulting from utility asset investment, while at the same time we anticipate the Tax Benefit Rider in Iowa will allow for continued offsets to customer bills," said Harvey. "We also expect improved earnings from our non-regulated businesses in 2012 when compared to 2011."
The 2012 earnings guidance does not include the impacts of any non-cash valuation adjustments, regulatory-related charges or credits, reorganization or restructuring charges, changes in laws or regulations, adjustments made to deferred tax asset valuation allowances, 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
- Ability of IPL and WPL to earn their authorized rate of return
- 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, WPL's and AER's capital expenditure plans
