DENVER, Oct. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Antero Resources Corporation (NYSE: AR) ("Antero Resources," "Antero," or the "Company") today announced its third quarter 2025 financial and operating results. The relevant consolidated financial statements are included in Antero Resources' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
Highlights:
Michael Kennedy, CEO and President of Antero Resources commented, "Antero's third quarter results yet again raised the bar for operational performance, as we set numerous drilling and completion records during the period. In addition, we completed several bolt-on acquisitions located in our core Marcellus acreage position in West Virginia. The transactions increase Antero's production and inventory and enhance our ability to capitalize on the significant demand increases expected for natural gas. Further, these transactions were financed through 2025's Free Cash Flow."
Mr. Kennedy continued, "We are excited to return to our dry gas acreage, where we have not drilled in over a decade. We spud a pad during the fourth quarter of 2025, which highlights our ability to quickly increase dry gas production to supply power for datacenters, other power generation projects or to sell into the local market if local basis were to tighten meaningfully. As a reminder, we have approximately 1,000 gross dry gas locations over approximately 100,000 net acres that are held by production which could see accelerated activity under these scenarios."
Brendan Krueger, CFO of Antero Resources said, "Our best-in-class low maintenance capital requirements has led to substantial Free Cash Flow in 2025. During the year, we used this Free Cash Flow to finance several bolt-on acquisitions, pay down $182 million of debt, and purchase $163 million of stock. These strategic transactions are immediately accretive on a per share basis across all key metrics including Free Cash Flow and Net Asset Value. Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on opportunistically adding to our position in the core of the West Virginia Marcellus, maintaining low absolute debt levels and repurchasing our stock."
For a discussion of the non-GAAP financial measures including Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDAX, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
Strategic Initiatives
Acquisitions - Antero completed three separate acquisitions, all in its West Virginia development footprint, for approximately $260 million. These transactions include 75-100 MMcfe/d of net production and 10 net undeveloped locations. The acquisitions were funded with a portion of 2025 Free Cash Flow and were acquired at attractive valuations of more than 20% on a 2026 expected Free Cash Flow Yield basis. The transactions closed at the end of the third quarter and had minimal impact on quarterly results.
Expanded Leasing Efforts - Antero is increasing its land capital budget by $50 million in order to expand its position in the Marcellus Fairway in West Virginia. The Company added 79 incremental drilling locations year-to-date through its organic leasing program at an average cost of approximately $900,000 per location. The accelerated acreage acquisitions reflect the ongoing strong well performance and the success of the development program, which has expanded the core Marcellus fairway.
Dry Gas Development - Antero added a spot rig to spud a dry gas pad in the fourth quarter of 2025, with no change to its 2025 budget. This pad is expected to turn in line during the first quarter of 2026 and to act as a proof of concept on Antero's ability to quickly increase dry gas activity to supply power for datacenters, other power generation projects or to sell into the local market if local basis were to tighten meaningfully. Antero has approximately 1,000 gross dry gas locations and over 100,000 net acres entirely held-by-production, that could see accelerated activity under these scenarios.
Share Purchase Program - During the third quarter 2025, Antero purchased 1.5 million shares for an aggregate $51 million. Year-to-date, Antero has purchased approximately 4.7 million shares for an aggregate $163 million. Antero's share purchases were at a 6% discount to the year-to-date volume weighted average price per share through September 30, 2025. Antero has approximately $915 million of capacity remaining on its previously approved share repurchase program.
Natural Gas Hedge Program - Antero added natural gas swaps for the fourth quarter of 2025, and full years 2026 and 2027 in order to support its acquisitions and its dry and lean gas development program. The Company increased its fourth quarter 2025 natural gas swaps by approximately 550 BBtu/d, bringing its total to 646 BBtu/d at $3.70/MMBtu. Antero also added 600 BBtu/d of natural gas swaps for 2026 at $3.82/MMBtu and 100 BBtu/d of natural gas swaps for 2027 at $3.93/MMBtu. In addition, Antero restructured its natural gas costless collars for 2026, raising the floor price from $3.14 per MMBtu to $3.22 per MMBtu with a ceiling price of $5.83 per MMBtu.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Guidance Update
Antero expects fourth quarter 2025 production to increase to a range of 3.5 to 3.525 Bcfe/d, with the increase reflecting the acquisitions. Full year 2025 production is now expected to be at the high end of the 3.4 to 3.45 Bcfe/d range. The company is targeting this updated range as the new maintenance production level. Antero is increasing its full year 2025 land capital budget to $125 to $150 million to reflect expanded leasing in its core liquids rich Marcellus Fairway, with the fourth quarter 2025 expected to be in the range of $25 to $50 million. Antero is also revising its full year 2025 C3+ NGL realized price premium to Mont Belvieu to $0.75 to $1.00 per barrel. This premium during the fourth quarter of 2025 is expected at a range of $1.25 to $1.75 per barrel.

Third Quarter 2025 Operating Results
Antero placed 16 Marcellus wells to sales during the third quarter with an average lateral length of 16,130 feet. Eleven of these wells have been on line for approximately 60 days with an average rate per well of 30 MMcfe/d, including 1,720 Bbl/d of liquids per well assuming 25% ethane recovery. In addition, Antero set a number of company drilling and completion records, including:
Third Quarter 2025 Capital Investment
Antero's drilling and completion capital expenditures for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $172 million. In addition to capital invested in drilling and completion activities, the Company invested $42 million in land during the third quarter. Through this investment, Antero added approximately 7,000 net acres, representing 32 incremental drilling locations, doubling the 16 wells brought on line during the third quarter at an average cost of approximately $1.0 million per location. In addition to the incremental locations, Antero also acquired minerals in its Marcellus area of development to increase its net revenue interest in future drilling locations. Year to date, Antero's organic leasing program has added 79 incremental drilling locations at an average cost of $900,000 per location.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted Net Income as set forth in this release represents net income, adjusted for certain items. Antero believes that Adjusted Net Income is useful to investors in evaluating operational trends of the Company and its performance relative to other oil and gas producing companies. Adjusted Net Income is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income as an indicator of financial performance. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted Net Income is net income. The following table reconciles net income to Adjusted Net Income (in thousands):

Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow is a measure of financial performance not calculated under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for cash flow from operating, investing, or financing activities, as an indicator of cash flow or as a measure of liquidity. The Company defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures, which includes additions to unproved properties, drilling and completion costs and additions to other property and equipment, less distributions to non-controlling interests in Martica.
The Company has not provided projected net cash provided by operating activities or a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to projected net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company is unable to project net cash provided by operating activities for any future period because this metric includes the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities related to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements that may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred. The Company is unable to project these timing differences with any reasonable degree of accuracy without unreasonable efforts.
Free Cash Flow is a useful indicator of the Company's ability to internally fund its activities, service or incur additional debt and estimate our ability to return capital to shareholders. There are significant limitations to using Free Cash Flow as a measure of performance, including the inability to analyze the effect of certain recurring and non-recurring items that materially affect the Company's net income, the lack of comparability of results of operations of different companies and the different methods of calculating Free Cash Flow reported by different companies. Free Cash Flow does not represent funds available for discretionary use because those funds may be required for debt service, land acquisitions and lease renewals, other capital expenditures, working capital, income taxes, exploration expenses, and other commitments and obligations.
Adjusted EBITDAX
Adjusted EBITDAX is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income, adjusted for certain items detailed below.
Adjusted EBITDAX as used and defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income or loss, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing, and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAX provides no information regarding our capital structure, borrowings, interest costs, capital expenditures, working capital movement, or tax position. Adjusted EBITDAX does not represent funds available for discretionary use because those funds may be required for debt service, capital expenditures, working capital, income taxes, exploration expenses, and other commitments and obligations. However, our management team believes Adjusted EBITDAX is useful to an investor in evaluating our financial performance because this measure:
There are significant limitations to using Adjusted EBITDAX as a measure of performance, including the inability to analyze the effects of certain recurring and non-recurring items that materially affect our net income or loss, the lack of comparability of results of operations of different companies, and the different methods of calculating Adjusted EBITDAX reported by different companies.
The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDAX are net income and net cash provided by operating activities. The following table represents a reconciliation of Antero's net income, including noncontrolling interest, to Adjusted EBITDAX and a reconciliation of Antero's Adjusted EBITDAX to net cash provided by operating activities per our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, in each case, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025 (in thousands). Adjusted EBITDAX also excludes the noncontrolling interests in Martica, and these adjustments are disclosed in the table below as Martica related adjustments.

(1) |
Production data excludes volumes related to VPP transaction. |
|
(2) |
Oil and NGLs production was converted at 6 Mcf per Bbl to calculate total Bcfe production and per Mcfe amounts. This ratio is an estimate of the equivalent energy content of the products and may not reflect their relative economic value. |
|
(3) |
Average prices reflect the before and after effects of our settled commodity derivatives. Our calculation of such after effects includes gains (losses) on settlements of commodity derivatives, which do not qualify for hedge accounting because we do not designate or document them as hedges for accounting purposes. |
|
(4) |
The average realized price for the three months ended September 30, 2025 includes less than $1 million of proceeds related to a take-or-pay contract. Excluding the effect of these proceeds, the average realized price for ethane before and after the effects of derivatives for the three months ended September 30, 2025 would have been $11.02 per Bbl. |
