Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive

The call conveyed a predominantly positive operational and financial picture: consistent multi-year EPS growth (10-year CAGR 6.3%), exceeded ongoing 2025 EPS targets, sizable contracted data center load (3 GW) and a clear pipeline (2–4 GW upside), key regulatory wins, and an on-track ~$13.4B capital plan. Challenges include higher O&M and development costs, two modest non-recurring charges totaling $0.08 per share, remaining equity needs (~$1.3B), refinancing and timing risks, and ongoing local/regulatory uncertainty in Wisconsin that prompted the QTS relocation. On balance, the company emphasized execution, flexibility (rapid pivot on QTS), and tools to preserve tax credits and rate stability, while acknowledging manageable near-term cost and timing headwinds.

Company Guidance

Alliant affirmed 2026 earnings and dividend guidance and reiterated a 2027–2029 compound annual earnings growth target of 7%+, while reporting a ten‑year EPS CAGR of 6.3% and ongoing 2025 EPS growth of 6% (ongoing EPS improved $0.18 vs 2024; 2025 temperature impacts added ~$0.03 vs a ~$0.15 headwind in 2024; 2025 ongoing results exclude a $0.05 Travero charge and a $0.03 deferred tax remeasurement). For 2026 the company assumes roughly 1% retail sales growth (inclusive of data center construction sales), higher earnings from growing capital investments (four‑year consolidated capex roughly $13.4 billion for 2026–2029), and higher O&M, depreciation and financing costs, and expects to utilize investment tax credits from storage placed in service in 2025–2026 to help earn its authorized Iowa electric ROE while keeping Iowa base rates flat through the end of the decade. Operationally it closed 2025 with four executed ESAs totaling 3 GW of peak load (about a 50% projected demand increase), completed 275 MW of energy storage, and maintains a financing plan that contemplates up to $1.2 billion of 2026 long‑term debt issuance (up to $400M parent, $300M WPL, $500M IPL), the retirement of a $300M term loan and roughly $2.4 billion of expected common equity needs through 2029 (≈$1.0B already secured via forward equity; ≈$1.3B remaining). Regulatory highlights supporting the outlook include no active rate reviews in 2026, IUC approval of a 720‑MW simple‑cycle Bobcat and a 94‑MW RICE, a pending IUC decision on up to 1 GW of wind advanced rate‑making, Wisconsin dockets covering ~430 MW of wind and an LNG storage proposal, an Iowa ICR filing for the relocated QTS planned in 2026, and an expected Q2 decision on the Beaver Dam ICR.

Consistent Earnings Growth

Ten-year compound annual EPS growth of 6.3%; ongoing 2025 EPS growth of 6% (ongoing EPS improved by $0.18 year-over-year). 2025 temperature impacts contributed approximately +$0.03 per share (versus -$0.15 per share in 2024). Company affirmed 2026 earnings guidance and expects compound annual earnings growth of 7%+ for 2027–2029.

Strong Shareowner Returns and Dividend Track Record

Total shareowner return of over 13% for the year and the 22nd consecutive annual dividend increase, demonstrating ongoing shareholder distribution discipline.

Material Data Center Wins Driving Demand Growth

Closed the year with four executed electric service agreements totaling 3 gigawatts of peak load (stated as translating to ~50% future growth in demand). Successfully signed a new ESA for the relocated QTS project (moved from Wisconsin to Iowa) and is pursuing an additional 2–4 GW of opportunities beyond current contracted projects.

Capital Plan and Regulatory Execution on Track

Consolidated four-year capital plan (~$13.4 billion for 2026–2029) remains materially consistent and on track after reallocation tied to the QTS relocation. Achieved constructive regulatory outcomes including a unanimous settlement approved in Wisconsin for the 2026–2027 rate review and Iowa approvals of certificates for a 720 MW simple-cycle gas facility and a 94 MW RICE unit.

Operational Milestones and Resource Readiness

Completed 275 MW of energy storage investments and turbine upgrades at Neenah and Sheboygan Falls. Secured gas turbine reservation agreements and project locations for planned self-developed gas resources. Proactively safe‑toboroughed renewable and storage projects to protect tax credits.

Solid Financing and Liquidity Position

2026 debt-financing plan includes up to $1.2 billion of long-term issuances (up to $400M parent, $300M WPL, $500M IPL). Retired a $300M term loan and have already raised ~$1.0B of ~ $2.4B expected common equity need (leaving ~$1.3B remaining). Financing mix includes debt, hybrid instruments, and equity.

Customer Affordability and Rate Stability Commitment

Committed to keeping Iowa retail electric base rates flat for existing customers through the end of the decade; intends to utilize investment tax credits (from energy storage) to support earning the authorized Iowa Electric ROE while preserving stable base rates for customers.
