***News Release***

**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**

**ALLIANT ENERGY ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• First quarter GAAP earnings per share were $0.87 in 2026, compared to $0.83 in 2025**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• First quarter ongoing earnings per share were $0.82 in 2026, compared to $0.83 in 2025**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Reaffirming 2026 ongoing earnings guidance range of $3.36 - $3.46 per share**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Signed an approximately 370 MW electric service agreement in Iowa, total contracted data center demand is now approximately 3.4 GW**

MADISON, Wis. - April 30, 2026 - Alliant Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: LNT) today announced U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) consolidated unaudited earnings per share (EPS) of $0.87 for first quarter 2026, compared to $0.83 for the first quarter of 2025. Ongoing EPS for first quarter 2026 was $0.82, compared to $0.83 for the first quarter of 2025.

Alliant Energy reaffirmed its consolidated ongoing EPS guidance for 2026 of $3.36 - $3.46, continuing its over a decade strong track record of compound annual earnings growth of more than 6%.

"We are off to a strong start in 2026, delivering approximately 25% of our ongoing earnings guidance midpoint, and reaffirming our full-year ongoing EPS outlook," said Lisa Barton, Alliant Energy President and CEO. "Our results reflect disciplined execution and continued momentum in data center growth, including the signing of a new electric service agreement in Iowa for approximately 370 megawatts of contracted demand. With five executed agreements, we are translating customer demand into well-structured, long-term growth that benefits investors, existing customers and communities."

---

In 2026, the primary drivers of Alliant Energy's results were higher revenue requirements from increasing rate base at IPL and WPL of $0.05 and $0.10 per share, respectively, including investments in generation and energy storage, non-GAAP adjustments in 2026, and higher allowance for funds used during construction. These items were offset by higher financing and depreciation expense related to capital investments, as well as other operating and maintenance expense primarily due to increased electric distribution and generation costs from planned maintenance activities and the addition of new energy resources.

Retail electric and gas sales decreased an estimated $0.04 and $0.03 per share in 2026 and 2025, respectively, due to impacts of temperatures on customer demand.

Alliant Energy's Non-GAAP, or ongoing, EPS for 2026 excludes $0.05 per share benefit related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets, reflecting a remeasurement of estimated state income tax apportionment. 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. This non-GAAP adjustment is presented to supplement GAAP results and highlight financial measures not typically associated with ongoing operations.

• the ability to obtain regulatory approval for construction projects with acceptable conditions;

------

• the ability to complete construction of generation and energy storage projects by planned in-service dates, with the expected earnings contributions and within the cost targets set by regulators due to cost increases of and access to materials, equipment and commodities, which could result from tariffs, including previously exempted tariffs related to solar project materials and equipment from certain countries, duties or other assessments, including antidumping or countervailing duties, inflation, labor issues or supply shortages, supply chain disruptions which may result from geopolitical issues, contractor performance, the ability to successfully resolve warranty issues or contract disputes, the ability to obtain adequate generator interconnection agreements to connect the new projects to Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc. (MISO) in a timely manner, the ability to obtain siting and environmental permits from local and state agencies and the ability of ITC Midwest LLC (ITC) and American Transmission Company LLC (ATC) to complete transmission upgrades in a timely manner;

• weather effects on utility sales volumes and operations;

• the direct or indirect effects resulting from cybersecurity incidents or attacks on Alliant Energy, IPL, WPL, or their suppliers, contractors and partners, or responses to such incidents;

• economic conditions in IPL's and WPL's service territories, including the potential impacts of business or facility closures and tariffs;

• the ability and cost to attract large load growth customers and to provide sufficient generation and the ability of ITC and ATC to provide sufficient transmission capacity for potential load growth timely, including significant new commercial or industrial customers, such as data centers;

• the ability of potential large load growth customers to timely construct new facilities, due to local or state regulatory actions, zoning, siting, or permitting actions, public or community opposition or other factors, as well as the resulting higher system load demand by expected levels and timeframes;

• the impact of large load growth customers altering, delaying or cancelling planned facilities, including any resulting impacts of overbuilt or under-utilized transmission capacity or generation and energy storage assets;

• the impact of energy efficiency, franchise retention and customer disconnects on sales volumes and operating income;

• the impact that price changes may have on IPL's and WPL's customers' demand for electric and gas services and their ability to pay their bills;

• changes in the price of delivered natural gas, transmission, purchased electric energy, purchased electric capacity and delivered coal, particularly during elevated market prices, and any resulting changes to counterparty credit risk, due to shifts in supply and demand caused by market conditions, regulations and MISO's seasonal resource adequacy process;

• the ability to achieve the expected level of tax benefits for renewable generation and energy storage projects based on tax guidelines, timely beginning of construction and in-service dates, sourcing permissible amounts of construction and/or financing support from entities with ties to certain foreign countries, compliance with prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements, project costs and the level of electricity output generated by qualifying generating facilities, and the ability to efficiently utilize the renewable generation and energy storage project tax benefits to achieve IPL's authorized rate of return and for the benefit of IPL's and WPL's customers;

• the impacts of changes in the tax code, including tax rates, minimum tax rates, adjustments made to deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in state income tax apportionment, and changes impacting the availability of and ability to transfer renewable tax credits, including preserving the qualification of any future tax credits;

• disruptions to ongoing operations and the supply of materials, services, equipment and commodities needed to continue to operate and maintain existing assets and to construct capital projects, which may result from geopolitical issues, tariffs, supplier manufacturing constraints, regulatory requirements, labor issues or transportation issues, and thus affect the ability to meet capacity requirements and result in increased capacity expense;

• inflation and higher interest rates;

• continued access to the capital markets on competitive terms and rates, and risks associated with potential increases in borrowing costs or reduced access to funding, and the actions of credit rating agencies;

• the future development of technologies related to electrification, and the ability to reliably store and manage electricity;

• impacts that terrorist attacks may have on Alliant Energy's, IPL's and WPL's operations and recovery of costs associated with restoration activities, or on the operations of Alliant Energy's investments;

• changes to MISO's interconnection or resource adequacy process establishing capacity planning reserve margin and capacity accreditation requirements that may impact how and when new and existing generating and energy storage facilities may be

------

accredited with energy capacity, and may require IPL and WPL to adjust their current resource plans, to add resources to meet the requirements of MISO's process or to procure capacity in the market whereby such costs might not be recovered in rates;

• any legislative or regulatory changes that impose mandatory integrated resource planning requirements or materially modify existing planning processes, potentially affecting resource selection, cost recovery, and the ability to meet large load growth demand for energy;

• any material post-closing payments related to any past asset divestitures, including the transfer of renewable tax credits, which could result from, among other things, indemnification agreements, warranties, guarantees or litigation;

• issues associated with environmental remediation and environmental compliance, including compliance with all current environmental and emissions laws, regulations, siting requirements, and permits and future changes in environmental laws and regulations, including the Coal Combustion Residuals Rule, Cross-State Air Pollution Rule and federal, state or local regulations for emissions reductions, including greenhouse gases, from new and existing fossil-fueled EGUs under the Clean Air Act, and litigation associated with environmental requirements;

• increased pressure from customers, investors and other stakeholders to more rapidly reduce greenhouse gases emissions;

• the timely development of technologies, innovations and advancements to provide cost effective alternatives to traditional energy sources;

Without limitation, the expectations with respect to 2026 earnings guidance in this press release are forward-looking statements and are based in part on certain assumptions made by Alliant Energy, some of which are referred to in the forward-looking statements. Alliant Energy cannot provide any assurance that the assumptions referred to in the forward-looking statements or otherwise are accurate or will prove to be correct. Any assumptions that are inaccurate or do not prove to be correct could have a material adverse effect on Alliant Energy's ability to achieve the estimates or other targets included in the forward-looking statements.

**Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

To provide investors with additional information regarding Alliant Energy's financial results, this press release includes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures include income and EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2026 excluding the state income tax apportionment benefit at the Parent. Alliant Energy believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide an alternate measure to better understand and compare across periods the operating performance of Alliant Energy without the distortion of items that management believes are not normally associated with ongoing operations, and also provides additional information about Alliant Energy's operations on a basis consistent with the measures that management uses to manage its operations and evaluate its performance.
