Briefing
Announced solid first quarter results, reaffirming 2021 earnings guidance and achieving a milestone in clean energy transition.
Alliant Energy reported GAAP EPS of $0.68 and non-GAAP EPS of $0.68 for Q1 2021. The company reaffirmed its 2021 earnings guidance range of $2.50 to $2.64. A key highlight was the approval for the first 675 megawatts of the proposed solar expansion in Wisconsin.
- Utilities and Corporate Services generated $0.66 per share of GAAP EPS, $0.06 lower than Q1 2020, due to timing of income tax expense, higher depreciation, and lower allowance for funds used during construction.
- Non-utility and Parent operations generated ($0.01) per share of GAAP EPS, a $0.04 increase compared to Q1 2020, driven by a credit loss charge in Q1 2020 related to guarantees associated with an affiliate of Whiting Petroleum.

- Estimated temperature impact on retail electric and gas sales increased EPS by $0.04.
