Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On August 5, 2015, Alliant Energy Corporation (Alliant Energy) issued a press release announcing its earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. A copy of such press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
Alliant Energy included in the press release income from continuing operations and earnings per share from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 excluding losses from the sales of Interstate Power and Light Company’s (IPL’s) Minnesota electric and natural gas distribution assets. Alliant Energy believes these non-GAAP financial measures (financial measures not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America) 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 provide 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. Alliant Energy’s management also uses income from continuing operations, as adjusted, to determine performance-based compensation.
In addition, Alliant Energy included in the press release IPL; Wisconsin Power and Light Company; AE Transco Investments, LLC and Alliant Energy Corporate Services, Inc.; utilities, American Transmission Company LLC and Alliant Energy Corporate Services, Inc.; and non-regulated and parent earnings per share from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Alliant Energy believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they facilitate an understanding of segment performance and trends and provide 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.
On July 31, 2015, Alliant Energy and IPL issued a press release announcing the closing of the sale of IPL’s Minnesota electric distribution assets. The sales of IPL’s Minnesota electric and natural gas distribution assets resulted in a ($0.06) per share charge for the three months ended June 30, 2015. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated by reference herein.
