ALLIANT ENERGY CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Alliant Energy, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The consolidated financial statements include Alliant Energy and its consolidated subsidiaries (including IESU, WP&L, IPC, Resources and Corporate Services). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in Alliant Energy's, IESU's and WP&L's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair presentation of (a) the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, (b) the consolidated financial position at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, and (c) the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, have been made. Because of the seasonal nature of IESU's, WP&L's and IPC's operations, results for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified on a basis consistent with the 2001 presentation. 2. Alliant Energy's comprehensive income (loss), and the components of other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes, for the three months ended March 31 were as follows (in thousands): <TABLE> <CAPTION> 2001 2000 ------------- ------------ <S> <C> <C> Net income $33,385 $19,320 Other comprehensive income (loss): Unrealized gains (losses) on securities: Unrealized holding gains (losses) arising during period, net of tax (1) (127,620) 284,458 Less: reclassification adjustment for gains included in net income, net of tax (2) -- 6,328 ------------- ------------ Net unrealized gains (losses) on securities (127,620) 278,130 ------------- ------------ Foreign currency translation adjustments (49,743) 917 ------------- ------------ Unrealized gains on derivatives qualified as hedges: Unrealized holding gains arising during period, net of tax 270 -- Less: reclassification adjustment for losses included in net income, net of tax (3,797) -- ------------- ------------ Net unrealized gains on qualifying derivatives 4,067 -- ------------- ------------ Other comprehensive income (loss) (173,296) 279,047 ------------- ------------ Comprehensive income (loss) ($139,911) $298,367 ============= ============ </TABLE> (1) Primarily due to quarterly adjustments to the estimated fair value of Alliant Energy's investment in McLeod. (2) The first quarter 2000 earnings included a pre-tax gain of $10.2 million ($0.08 per basic and diluted share) from the sale of 450,000 shares of McLeod stock held by Alliant Energy. Alliant Energy still held beneficial ownership in approximately 56 million shares of McLeod stock as of March 31, 2001. 8
3. Various differences exist between segment reporting information for the non-regulated businesses and Resources' information in Alliant Energy's condensed consolidating financial statements in Note 9 due to Alliant Energy's investment in Cargill-Alliant being recorded on Alliant Energy's parent's books for legal reporting, but included with the non-regulated businesses information for segment reporting (Alliant Energy considers this business as part of its non-regulated business for management reporting). The "Net income (loss)" line item was impacted. The "Net income (loss)" line item is not allocated to the electric and gas segments for management reporting purposes and therefore is included in "Other." Intersegment revenues were not material to Alliant Energy's operations. Certain financial information relating to Alliant Energy's significant business segments is presented below: <TABLE> <CAPTION> Regulated Domestic Utilities Alliant --------------------------------------------- Non-regulated Energy Electric Gas Other Total Businesses Other Consolidated -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands) Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 -------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> Operating revenues $411,943 $289,818 $10,796 $712,557 $140,912 ($756) $852,713 Operating income 56,574 19,481 892 76,947 11,880 449 89,276 Net income (loss) 33,328 33,328 1,181 (1,124) 33,385 Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 -------------- Operating revenues $373,622 $130,134 $8,157 $511,913 $62,675 ($526) $574,062 Operating income (loss) 63,839 18,850 1,780 84,469 3,943 (22) 88,390 Net income (loss) 39,067 39,067 (16,112) (3,635) 19,320 </TABLE> Resources' (i.e., the non-regulated businesses) assets decreased $287 million during the first three months of 2001, primarily due to the decrease in market value of its investment in McLeod. Non-regulated earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2000 included a $24.8 million after-tax non-cash charge to net income to recognize an increase in Alliant Energy's obligation relating to its 30-year exchangeable senior notes issued in February 2000 (the charge was subsequently reversed in its entirety in the second quarter of 2000). 4. The provisions for income taxes are based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, which differs from the federal statutory rate of 35 percent principally due to: state income taxes, tax credits, effects of utility rate making and certain non-deductible expenses. 5. In January 2001, Resources acquired a stake in a Brazilian electric utility. As of March 31, 2001, the total investment in this Brazilian electric utility was approximately $100 million, of which approximately $60 million was paid in January 2001 and the remainder is expected to be paid by the end of the first quarter of 2002. WP&L, including South Beloit, transferred its transmission assets with no gain or loss (approximate net book value of $177 million) to ATC on January 1, 2001. WP&L currently expects to receive cash of $69 million in 2001 and at March 31, 2001, had a $102 million equity investment in ATC, with an ownership percentage of approximately 26 percent. WP&L accounts for its investment in ATC under the equity method. 9
6. Alliant Energy continues to utilize derivative instruments to manage its exposures to various market risks as described in Alliant Energy's, IESU's and WP&L's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. The following information supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, Note 10(a) in Alliant Energy's "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in the 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, there was no material earnings impact representing the amount of hedge ineffectiveness in accordance with SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Alliant Energy did not exclude any components of the derivative instruments' gain or loss from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and there were no reclasses into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of hedges. As of March 31, 2001, the maximum length of time over which Alliant Energy is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is 18 months and Alliant Energy estimates that gains of $0.4 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings within the twelve months between April 1, 2001 and March 31, 2002 as the hedged transactions affect earnings. Included in "Miscellaneous, net" in Alliant Energy's Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was expense of $85.1 million related to the change in value of the McLeod trading securities, partially offset by income of $80.9 million related to the change in value of the derivative component of the exchangeable senior notes. 7. In March 2001, IESU issued $200 million of senior unsecured debentures at a fixed interest rate of 6-3/4%, due 2011. A portion of the net proceeds were used to repay short-term debt and a portion will be used to refinance $81.6 million of long-term debt maturing in 2001. 8. A reconciliation of the weighted average common shares outstanding used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended March 31 was as follows: <TABLE> <CAPTION> 2001 2000 ---------------- ---------------- Weighted average common shares outstanding: <S> <C> <C> Basic earnings per share calculation 79,027,898 78,996,158 Effect of dilutive securities 170,384 275,217 ---------------- ---------------- Diluted earnings per share calculation 79,198,282 79,271,375 ================ ================ </TABLE> For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, 1,068,128 and 1,380,598 options, respectively, to purchase shares of common stock, with an average exercise price of $31.55 and $30.48, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise prices were greater than the average market price. 10
9.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The primary first tier subsidiaries of Alliant Energy include: WP&L, IESU, IPC, Resources and Corporate Services. Among various other regulatory constraints, Alliant Energy is operating as a registered public utility holding company subject to the limitations imposed by PUHCA. This MD&A includes information relating to Alliant Energy, IESU and WP&L (as well as IPC, Resources and Corporate Services). Where appropriate, information relating to a specific entity has been segregated and labeled as such. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report as well as the financial statements, notes and MD&A included in Alliant Energy's, IESU's and WP&L's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Statements contained in this report (including MD&A) that are not of historical fact are forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such statements. Some, but not all, of the risks and uncertainties include: weather effects on sales and revenues; general economic conditions in the utility subsidiaries' service territories; federal, state and international regulatory or government actions, including issues associated with the deregulation of the domestic utility industry and the setting of rates and recovery of costs; unanticipated construction and acquisition expenditures; issues related to stranded costs and the recovery thereof; unanticipated issues related to the supply of purchased electricity and price thereof; unexpected issues related to the operations of Alliant Energy's nuclear facilities; unanticipated costs associated with certain environmental remediation efforts being undertaken by Alliant Energy; Alliant Energy's ability to successfully implement its growth strategy, including the acquisition and operation of foreign companies; unanticipated developments that adversely impact Alliant Energy's strategy to grow its non-regulated businesses; material changes in the value of Alliant Energy's investments in McLeod and Capstone; further delays in the implementation of tariff adjustments impacting Alliant Energy's Brazilian operations; technological developments; employee workforce factors, including changes in key executives, collective bargaining agreements or work stoppages; political, legal, economic and exchange rate conditions in foreign countries Alliant Energy has investments in; and changes in the rate of inflation. UTILITY INDUSTRY OUTLOOK A summary of the current regulatory environment is included in the Form 10-K filed by Alliant Energy, IESU and WP&L for the year ended December 31, 2000. Set forth below are several developments relating to such regulatory environment that have occurred since the start of the current year. Rates and Regulatory Matters - In January 2001, the IUB issued an - ---------------------------- order requiring IESU and IPC to file a joint fuel procurement plan in May 2001 for the purpose of evaluating the reasonableness of the Iowa utilities' fuel procurement contracts. This filing will be made by May 15, 2001. While IESU and IPC cannot predict the outcome of this process, it will result in formal hearings. These hearings may address fuel procurement practices and changes in the fuel cost recovery mechanism. In April 2001, the OCA requested certain financial information from IESU related to the electric utility operations within the state of Iowa. IESU is in the process of preparing its responses. While IESU cannot predict the outcome of this process, such data requests could lead to an effort by the OCA to seek an electric rate reduction for IESU in Iowa. In December 2000, WP&L requested a $73 million (revised to $61 million) annual retail electric rate increase from the PSCW to cover increases in WP&L's 2001 fuel and purchased-power costs due to the continued increases in natural gas prices which impact WP&L's generation costs and the increased costs of purchased-power. The PSCW approved a $46 million interim retail electric rate increase effective February 9, 2001. A decision on a permanent rate increase is expected in the second quarter of 2001. In 2000, the NRC raised several areas of concern with Kewaunee's operations. The concerns raised by the NRC are estimated to 29
result in additional operating costs to WP&L in 2001 of approximately $5 million. Additional operating costs to WP&L over the period of 2002 through 2005 are estimated to be approximately $20 million and will be included in a future rate request. In April 2001, the PSCW approved the deferral of incremental costs associated with this issue incurred after March 27, 2001. The expenditures that were not deferred did not have a material impact on earnings. The NRC has acknowledged the safety record of Kewaunee and its ability to continue operations. Alliant Energy complies with the provisions of SFAS 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation." SFAS 71 provides that rate-regulated public utilities record certain costs and credits allowed in the rate making process in different periods than for non-regulated entities. These are deferred as regulatory assets or accrued as regulatory liabilities and are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income at the time they are reflected in rates. If a portion of the utility's operations no longer complies with SFAS 71, a write-down of related regulatory assets and possibly other charges would be required, unless some form of transition cost recovery is established by the appropriate regulatory body that meets the requirements under generally accepted accounting principles for continued accounting as regulatory assets during such recovery period. In addition, each utility would be required to determine any impairment of other assets and write-down any impaired assets to their fair value. Alliant Energy believes its utility subsidiaries currently meet the requirements of SFAS 71. ALLIANT ENERGY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Unless otherwise noted, all "per share" references in the Results of Operations section refer to earnings per diluted share. Overview - First Quarter Results - Alliant Energy reported net - --------------------------------- income of $33.4 million, or $0.42 per share, for the first quarter of 2001, compared to net income of $19.3 million, or $0.24 per share, for the first quarter of 2000. The prior period earnings included a non-cash accounting charge of $24.8 million, or $0.31 per share, to recognize an increase in Alliant Energy's obligation relating to certain 30-year exchangeable senior notes (the charge was subsequently reversed in its entirety in the second quarter of 2000). The earnings comparison between 2001 and 2000 earnings, excluding the $24.8 million non-cash accounting charge, was significantly impacted by the timing of Alliant Energy's continued limited sales of its investment in McLeod. First quarter 2000 results included a gain of $0.08 per share from the sale of McLeod stock while Alliant Energy did not sell any shares of McLeod in the first quarter of 2001. Also, first quarter 2000 results included income of $0.03 per share from a tax settlement item. Further, a non-cash accounting charge of $0.03 per share was recorded in the first quarter of 2001. Improved results from Alliant Energy's oil and gas business ($0.17 per share in 2001 and $0.05 per share in 2000) were substantially offset by higher utility operating expenses and lower results from Alliant Energy's investments in Brazil. First quarter 2001 utility earnings were $33.3 million ($0.42 per share) compared to $39.1 million ($0.49 per share) for the same period in 2000. The decrease was primarily due to higher natural gas and fuel prices, increased other utility operating expenses and $0.03 per share of income in 2000 from a tax settlement, partially offset by higher sales volumes from more favorable weather in 2001. Resources reported net income of $1.2 million ($0.01 per share) in the first quarter of 2001 compared to a net loss of $16.1 million (($0.20) per share) in the first quarter of 2000, which included the $24.8 million ($0.31 per share) non-cash charge related to the senior notes. The lower earnings, excluding the 2000 non-cash charge, were largely due to: 1) no sales of McLeod stock in the first quarter of 2001 while the first quarter of 2000 included a gain of $0.08 per share; and 2) the first quarter of 2001 included a non-cash accounting charge of $0.03 per share related to the net valuation of the exchangeable senior notes and the associated McLeod shares designated as trading securities. Alliant Energy's oil and gas business had another strong quarter, increasing $0.12 per share over first quarter 2000 results. However, this increase was virtually offset by lower results from Alliant Energy's Brazil investments ($0.06 per share), lower results from Alliant Energy's integrated services business ($0.02 per share) and increased interest expense to fund Alliant Energy's strategic growth initiatives and costs related to the pursuit of new business opportunities. 30
Electric Utility Operations - Electric margins and MWh sales for - --------------------------- Alliant Energy for the three months ended March 31 were as follows: <TABLE> <CAPTION> Revenues and Costs MWhs Sold (in thousands) (in thousands) ----------------------------- ---------------------------- 2001 2000 Change 2001 2000 Change --------------- ------------- --------- -------------- ------------- --------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> Residential $149,687 $134,995 11% 1,971 1,821 8% Commercial 85,054 77,850 9% 1,331 1,278 4% Industrial 116,667 111,544 5% 2,982 3,120 (4%) --------------- ------------- -------------- ------------- Total from ultimate customers 351,408 324,389 8% 6,284 6,219 1% Sales for resale 48,423 33,894 43% 1,257 1,205 4% Other 12,112 15,339 (21%) 42 48 (13%) --------------- ------------- -------------- ------------- Total revenues/sales 411,943 373,622 10% 7,583 7,472 1% ============== ============= Electric production fuels expense 68,274 65,545 4% Purchased power expense 98,733 62,345 58% --------------- ------------- Margin $244,936 $245,732 -- =============== ============= </TABLE> Electric margin decreased $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to higher fuel and purchased-power expenses, decreased energy conservation revenues and lower sales to industrial customers, largely offset by higher sales volume from more favorable weather in 2001. Favorable weather conditions yielded an estimated $11 million electric margin increase compared to the first quarter 2000, when milder than normal weather conditions prevailed. Refer to "Utility Industry Outlook - Rates and Regulatory Matters" for discussion of a WP&L FAC filing in December 2000. In the first quarter of 2001, electric margin was approximately $7 million lower due to the formation of ATC. Such expenses were virtually offset by equity income, reduced other operation and maintenance expenses and lower depreciation expense. Refer to Note 5 of Alliant Energy's "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Item 1. for additional information related to ATC. IESU's and IPC's electric tariffs include EAC's that are designed to currently recover the costs of fuel and the energy portion of purchased-power billings. Refer to "Utility Industry Outlook - Rates and Regulatory Matters" for discussion of an IUB fuel investigation. Gas Utility Operations - Gas margins and Dth sales for Alliant - ---------------------- Energy for the three months ended March 31 were as follows: <TABLE> <CAPTION> Revenues and Costs Dths Sold (in thousands) (in thousands) ----------------------------- --------------------------- 2001 2000 Change 2001 2000 Change --------------- ------------- --------- ------------- ------------ --------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> Residential $166,557 $79,611 109% 15,580 13,073 19% Commercial 89,055 39,570 125% 9,059 7,776 16% Industrial 14,623 6,834 114% 1,630 1,688 (3%) Transportation/other 19,583 4,119 375% 13,959 12,398 13% --------------- ------------- ------------- ------------ Total revenues/sales 289,818 130,134 123% 40,228 34,935 15% ============= ============ Cost of utility gas sold 238,258 82,113 190% --------------- ------------- Margin $51,560 $48,021 7% =============== ============= </TABLE> 31
Gas revenues and cost of utility gas sold increased significantly primarily due to the large increase in natural gas prices during the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000. Gas margin increased $3.5 million, or 7%, primarily due to higher sales volumes from more favorable weather in 2001, which contributed an estimated $9 million increase in gas margin. The weather benefit was partially offset by impacts of the higher natural gas costs as some customers either chose alternative fuel sources or used less natural gas. WP&L's margins were also negatively impacted by the higher gas costs from losses associated with current commodity costs, which are shared by ratepayers and shareowners. IESU's and IPC's gas tariffs include PGA clauses that are designed to currently recover the cost of utility gas sold. Non-regulated and Other Revenues - Non-regulated and other - --------------------------------- revenues for the three months ended March 31 were as follows (in thousands): 2001 2000 -------- --------- Integrated Services $84,199 $33,433 Oil and gas production 42,776 19,195 Steam 11,186 7,340 Transportation 4,639 4,788 Other 8,152 5,550 --------- ---------- $150,952 $70,306 ========= ========== Non-regulated and other revenues increased $80.6 million for the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to increased revenues in Integrated Services related to acquisitions in the third and fourth quarters of 2000 of various energy services and energy conservation businesses and increased revenues due to higher natural gas prices. Also contributing to the increase were higher oil and gas production revenues due to higher gas prices and increased volumes due to various acquisitions in 2000. Other Operating Expenses - Other operation and maintenance - ------------------------ expenses for the three months ended March 31 were as follows (in thousands): 2001 2000 -------- --------- Utility subsidiaries $130,089 $122,761 Integrated Services 80,186 29,517 Oil and gas production 11,729 7,349 Transportation 2,991 2,897 Other 13,201 7,154 --------- ---------- $238,196 $169,678 ========= ========== Other operation and maintenance expenses at the utility subsidiaries increased $7.3 million in the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to higher administrative and general and nuclear expenses, partially offset by reduced generation business unit expenses. Other operation and maintenance expenses in Integrated Services increased $50.7 million in the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to expenses associated with the acquisitions of the various energy services and energy conservation businesses and the increased natural gas costs. The oil and gas production increase was primarily due to the 2000 acquisitions. The increase in "other" was primarily due to expenses from the International business unit and costs related to the pursuit of new business opportunities. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $8.7 million in the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to the acquisitions at the non-regulated businesses and utility property additions. 32
Interest Expense and Other - Interest expense increased $9.1 - -------------------------- million in the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to higher non-regulated and utility borrowings to fund Alliant Energy's strategic growth initiatives, including Resources' investments in several Brazilian electric utilities in January 2000 and January 2001 of approximately $347 million and $60 million, respectively. Alliant Energy recorded $39.5 million, or $0.31 per share, of contingent interest on indexed senior notes in the first quarter of 2000 to recognize an increase in Alliant Energy's obligation relating to certain 30-year exchangeable senior notes (the charge was subsequently reversed in its entirety in the second quarter of 2000). Equity income (loss) from Alliant Energy's unconsolidated investments for the three months ended March 31 was as follows (in millions): 2001 2000 ------ ------- ATC $4.8 $-- Cargill-Alliant 3.0 0.1 Australia/New Zealand investments 2.2 -- China investments 1.4 0.3 Brazil investments (1.5) 1.2 Other 0.4 (0.5) ------ ------- $10.3 $1.1 ====== ======= Equity income from unconsolidated investments increased $9.2 million in the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, due to ATC beginning operations on January 1, 2001; improved operations from Alliant Energy's energy-trading joint venture with Cargill-Alliant due to more buyers turning to energy experts to help them find stable, reliable sources of supply in the wake of volatile energy costs; and a first quarter 2000 acquisition at Alliant Energy's Australian investment. These items were partially offset by lower results from Alliant Energy's Brazil investments primarily due to continued regulatory delays in the implementation of tariff adjustments and higher-than-expected commercial losses at one of its operating companies. Alliant Energy expects to have the prospective tariff adjustments in Brazil implemented in the second quarter of 2001. Refer to "Outlook" for additional information regarding Brazil. Alliant Energy sold 450,000 shares of its investment in McLeod in the first quarter of 2000, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $10.2 million, or $0.08 per share. Miscellaneous, net income decreased $10.9 million for the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to a charge of $85.1 million related to the change in value of the McLeod trading securities, $4.1 million of interest income recognized at IESU in the first quarter of 2000 from a tax settlement and income realized from weather hedges at WP&L in the first quarter of 2000, partially offset by income of $80.9 million related to the change in value of the derivative component of Resources' exchangeable senior notes. Income Taxes - The effective income tax rates for the first - ------------ quarter of 2001 and 2000 were 34.2% and 37.2%, respectively. IESU RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview - First Quarter Results - IESU's earnings available for - -------------------------------- common stock decreased $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to increased other operation and maintenance expenses and lower interest income due to a tax settlement realized in the first quarter of 2000, partially offset by increased gas margin. 33

Such decreases were partially offset by more favorable weather conditions in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the first quarter of 2000, when milder than normal weather conditions prevailed. IESU's electric tariffs include EAC's that are designed to currently recover the costs of fuel and the energy portion of purchased-power billings.

Such increase had no impact on IESU's gas margin given its rate recovery mechanism for gas costs. Gas margin increased $2.3 million, or 11%, primarily due to increased natural gas sales due to more favorable weather conditions in the first quarter of 2001 compared with the first quarter of 2000. This increase was partially offset by impacts of the higher natural gas costs as some customers either chose alternative fuel sources or used less natural gas. IESU's gas tariffs include PGA clauses that are designed to currently recover the cost of gas sold. Other Operating Expenses - IESU's other operation and maintenance - ------------------------- expenses increased $5.9 million in the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to increased administrative and general and generation business unit expenses. 34
Interest Expense and Other - Miscellaneous, net income decreased - -------------------------- $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to interest income recognized from a tax settlement in the first quarter of 2000. Income Taxes - The effective income tax rates were 38.8% and - ------------ 41.9% in the first quarter of 2001 and 2000, respectively. WP&L RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview - First Quarter Results - WP&L's earnings available for - -------------------------------- common stock decreased $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to the impact of higher gas and fuel prices, partially offset by favorable weather conditions in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the first quarter 2000 when milder weather conditions prevailed.

Such decreases were partially offset by more favorable weather conditions in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the first quarter of 2000, when milder than normal weather conditions prevailed. Refer to "Utility Industry Outlook - Rates and Regulatory Matters" for discussion of a WP&L FAC filing in December 2000. In the first quarter of 2001, electric margin was approximately $7 million lower due to the formation of ATC. Such expenses were virtually offset by equity income, reduced other operation and maintenance expenses and lower depreciation expense. Refer to Note 5 of Alliant Energy's "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Item 1. for additional information related to ATC. 35
Gas Utility Operations - Gas margins and Dth sales for WP&L for - ----------------------- the three months ended March 31 were as follows: <TABLE> <CAPTION> Revenues and Costs Dths Sold (in thousands) (in thousands) ----------------------------- --------------------------- 2001 2000 Change 2001 2000 Change --------------- ------------- --------- ------------- ------------ --------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> Residential $67,093 $33,013 103% 6,108 5,293 15% Commercial 36,996 17,306 114% 3,684 3,350 10% Industrial 5,666 2,732 107% 580 587 (1%) Transportation/other 15,877 2,235 610% 5,404 4,069 33% --------------- ------------- ------------- ------------ Total revenues/sales 125,632 55,286 127% 15,776 13,299 19% ============= ============ Cost of gas sold 106,252 35,329 201% --------------- ------------- Margin $19,380 $19,957 (3%) =============== ============= </TABLE> Gas revenues and cost of gas sold increased significantly primarily due to the large increase in natural gas prices during the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000. Gas margin decreased $0.6 million, or 3%, primarily due to impacts of the higher natural gas costs as some customers either chose alternative fuel sources or used less natural gas. WP&L's margins were also negatively impacted by the higher gas costs from losses associated with current commodity costs, which are shared by ratepayers and shareowners. Such decreases were partially offset by increased natural gas sales due to more favorable weather conditions in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the first quarter of 2000. Other Operating Expenses - Other operation and maintenance - ------------------------ expenses decreased $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to lower generation and energy delivery business unit expenses, largely offset by higher administrative and general expenses. Interest Expense and Other - Equity income from unconsolidated - -------------------------- investments increased $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, due to ATC beginning operations on January 1, 2001. Refer to Note 5 of Alliant Energy's "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Item 1. for discussion of WP&L's investment in ATC. Miscellaneous, net income decreased $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to lower income realized from weather hedges. Income Taxes - The effective income tax rates were 38.4% and - ------------- 37.0% in the first quarter of 2001 and 2000, respectively. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash Flows - For the first quarter of 2001 compared with the same - ---------- period in 2000, Alliant Energy's cash flows from operating activities decreased $26 million primarily due to changes in working capital. Cash flows from financing activities decreased $271 million primarily due to net changes in the amount of debt outstanding. Cash flows used for investing activities decreased $330 million primarily due to the January 2000 Brazil investment. For the first quarter of 2001 compared with the same period in 2000, IESU's cash flows from operating activities decreased $21 million primarily due to changes in working capital. Cash flows from financing activities increased $130 million primarily due to $200 million of senior debentures issued in 2001, partially offset by other net changes in debt outstanding. For the first quarter of 2001 compared with the same period in 2000, WP&L's cash flows from operating activities decreased $36 million primarily due to changes in working capital. Long-Term Debt - Refer to Note 7 of Alliant Energy's "Notes to - --------------- Consolidated Financial Statements" in Item 1. for discussion of long-term debt issued by IESU in March 2001. Sale of Accounts Receivable - To maintain flexibility in its - --------------------------- 36
capital structure and to take advantage of favorable short-term rates, IESU and WP&L use proceeds from the sale of accounts receivable and unbilled revenues to finance a portion of their long-term cash needs. Alliant Energy and the utility subsidiaries received all necessary approvals in late March 2001 for a combined accounts receivable sale program whereby each utility, including IPC, will sell its respective receivables through wholly-owned special purpose entities to an affiliated financing entity, which in turn will sell the receivables to an outside investor. The new program, expected to be operational in the second quarter of 2001, would replace the existing programs for IESU and WP&L, and would be substantially similar to the prior programs. Construction and Acquisition Expenditures - To help ensure - ----------------------------------------- electric reliability for its customers, Alliant Energy has announced a program called PowerPledge, which is designed to increase Alliant Energy's power supply, upgrade existing systems and use more renewable energy sources. Through this program, Alliant Energy's utility subsidiaries plan to invest $2 billion over the next five years (beginning in 2001) in utility infrastructure designed to improve reliability. Alliant Energy's subsidiaries also announced their interest in developing new electric power generation capacity in Iowa and Wisconsin over the next 10 years estimated at $2.5 billion. In Iowa, IESU announced a willingness to develop up to 1,200 MW of new electric power generation over the next 10 years. In Wisconsin, WP&L filed plans with the PSCW to develop up to 800 MW of new electric power generation over the next 10 years. The Wisconsin plans include the addition of 500 MW of coal-fired and 100 MW of natural gas-fired generation by 2006 and an additional 200 MW of combined-cycle gas generation by 2011. Both the Iowa and Wisconsin proposals are subject to various conditions, including the receipt of applicable regulatory approval and the receipt of a reasonable return on IESU's and WP&L's investments. OTHER MATTERS Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Positions Alliant Energy's primary market risk exposures are associated with interest rates, commodity prices, equity prices and currency exchange rates. Alliant Energy has risk management policies to monitor and assist in controlling these market risks and uses derivative instruments to manage some of the exposures. Alliant Energy's market risks have not changed materially from the market risks reported in the 2000 Form 10-K, except as noted below. Equity Price Risk - At March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, - ------------------ Alliant Energy had an investment in the stock of McLeod, a publicly traded telecommunications company, valued at $486 million and $791 million, respectively. In addition to the equity risk associated with the investment in McLeod, Alliant Energy also has equity risk related to the option liability embedded within Resources' exchangeable senior notes. A 10 percent increase (decrease) in the quoted market price at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 would not have a significant impact on net income as any resulting increase (decrease) in the value of the option would be substantially offset by a corresponding increase (decrease) in the value of the McLeod shares classified as trading (valued at $136 million and $221 million at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively). At March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the McLeod available-for-sale securities were valued at $350 million and $570 million, respectively. A 10 percent increase (decrease) in the quoted market price at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 would have increased (decreased) the value of the investment of the available-for-sale securities by $35 million and $57 million, respectively. Currency Risk - Alliant Energy has investments in various - ------------- countries where the net investments are not hedged, including Australia, Brazil, China and New Zealand. As a result, these investments are subject to currency exchange risk with fluctuations in currency exchange rates. At March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, Alliant Energy had a cumulative foreign currency translation loss of $109.7 million and $60.0 million, respectively, recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive income" on its Consolidated Balance Sheets that primarily related to decreases in value of the Brazil currency (real), New Zealand dollar and Australian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar. Based on Alliant Energy's investments at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, a 10 percent sustained increase (decrease) over the next 12 months in the foreign exchange rates of Australia, Brazil, China and New Zealand would increase (decrease) the cumulative foreign currency translation gain/loss by $47.8 million and $46.5 million, respectively. 37
OUTLOOK Alliant Energy currently estimates that earnings per share from continuing operations for 2001 will be in the $2.40 to $2.60 range. Drivers for Alliant Energy's 2001 earnings estimate include, but are not limited to: normal weather conditions in its utility service territories; continued economic development and sales growth in its utility service territories; ability to recover its purchased power and fuel costs, both domestically and internationally; ability to realize gains on the continued limited sales of its McLeod investment to help offset start-up and growth-related interest expenses in its diversified businesses and to redeploy such proceeds into more strategic earnings-generating investments; improved profitability of its international investments; improved profitability of its non- regulated businesses as a whole, including oil and gas, electricity trading, integrated energy and transportation services; continued strong oil and gas prices; and other stable business conditions. In addition, the accuracy of the earnings estimate is further subject to future developments relating to Alliant Energy's utility investments in Brazil. Brazil is continuing to experience drought conditions and the Brazilian government has announced an electricity rationing program effective June 1st in response to the country's power shortage (Brazil relies on hydroelectric plants for the majority of its electricity). The program details are not yet final thus Alliant Energy is currently unable to estimate the impact on its 2001 earnings; however, Alliant Energy expects the impact will be dilutive. Based on the drought and other business conditions in Brazil, Alliant Energy also cannot currently predict what impact its Brazil investments may have on its earnings beyond 2001. Alliant Energy's other non-regulated businesses, especially oil and gas and electricity trading, continue to generate strong earnings which may offset some or all of the impact of the Brazil dilution. Alliant Energy's strategic plan includes aggressively investing in generation and other energy-related projects; better connecting with customers through enhanced service reliability and e-business initiatives; and growing the non-regulated side of its business through partnerships and acquisitions in generation projects, international markets and other strategic initiatives. Alliant Energy believes that successful implementation of these strategies will contribute significantly to Alliant Energy achieving its targeted annual growth rate in earnings from continued operations of 7 to 10 percent. Alliant Energy expects its non-regulated businesses to contribute 25 percent of such earnings within the next two to four years. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk are reported under Item 2. MD&A "Other Matters - Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Positions." PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In an effort to grow and expand as a Wisconsin-based company, Alliant Energy and WP&L filed a federal lawsuit in October 2000, seeking declaratory relief regarding whether certain provisions of WUHCA are unconstitutional as a violation of the interstate commerce and equal protection provisions of the U.S. constitution. Alliant Energy and WP&L are challenging the provisions of WUHCA which restrict ownership in utility holding companies, limit the investments those companies can make and place significant restrictions on companies that invest in Wisconsin utility holding companies. Alliant Energy and WP&L also requested that the court consider the constitutionality of issues related to the asset cap on non-utility investments imposed by WUHCA. Alliant Energy and WP&L were seeking only declaratory relief and not damages in the litigation. In February 2001, the lawsuit was dismissed based on lack of allegations of "injury in fact." Alliant Energy and WP&L filed a motion for reconsideration with the court, which was rejected in April 2001. Alliant Energy has begun preparations to appeal the case, which could come before the Federal Court of Appeals in Chicago. 38
