Paul Rady, Chairman and CEO said, 'Antero Midstream delivered another strong quarter operationally with year-over-year volumetric and Free Cash Flow growth. This was a direct result of Antero Midstream's focus on operating expense and capital efficiencies, as well as high asset utilization rates across our integrated assets. In addition, Antero Midstream realized consistent volumetric throughput during the quarter, benefitting from Antero Resources' firm transportation portfolio which allowed it to avoid the volatility in local Appalachian basis.'

Mr. Rady further added, 'Antero Midstream continues to demonstrate the ability to deliver attractive returns through organic capital investments. These organic capital investments with high utilization rates have allowed us to consistently generate mid-teen returns on invested capital.'

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, revenues were $233 million, comprised of $193 million from the Gathering and Processing segment and $58 million from the Water Handling segment, net of $18 million of amortization of customer relationships. Water Handling revenues included $20 million from wastewater handling and high rate water transfer services.

Direct operating expenses for the Gathering and Processing and Water Handling segments were $17 million and $23 million, respectively, for a total of $40 million, compared to $42 million in total direct operating expenses in the prior year quarter. Water Handling operating expenses included $19 million from wastewater handling and high rate water transfer services. The decrease in direct operating expenses was driven primarily by lower costs associated with flowback and produced water due to Antero Midstream's blending operations. General and administrative expenses excluding equity-based compensation were $11 million during the second quarter of 2021. Total operating expenses during the second quarter of 2021 included $3 million of equity compensation expense and $27 million of depreciation. Additionally, there was a $21 million loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the premium paid to refinance the senior notes due 2024 with the $750 million senior notes due 2029.

Net income was $80 million, or $0.17 per share. Net income adjusted for amortization of customer relationships, loss (gain) on asset sale and loss on early extinguishment of debt, net of tax effects of reconciling items, or Adjusted Net Income, was $109 million. Adjusted Net Income per share was $0.23 per share, a 10% increase compared to the prior year quarter.

Second Quarter 2021 Operating Update

Gathering and Processing - During the second quarter of 2021, Antero Midstream connected 23 wells to its gathering system. The Company's 3.2 Bcf/d of compression capacity was approximately 86% utilized during the quarter. Joint Venture processing capacity of 1.4 Bcf/d was approximately 100% utilized and Joint Venture fractionation capacity was 95% utilized during the quarter. During the second quarter the Joint Venture began commissioning the Smithburg 1 processing plant, which will add 200 MMcf/d of incremental processing capacity in the third quarter of 2021. This expansion of processing capacity will bring the Joint Venture's total processing capacity to 1.6 Bcf/d.

Water Handling- Antero Midstream's water delivery systems serviced 17 well completions during the second quarter of 2021, a 23% decrease from the prior year quarter, driven by a reduction in completion activity by Antero Resources as it transitioned to a maintenance capital development program.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2021, Antero Midstream had approximately $514 million drawn on its $2.13 billion bank credit facility, resulting in $1.6 billion of liquidity. Antero Midstream's Net Debt to trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA ('Leverage') was 3.6x as of June 30, 2021.

Capital Investments

Total accrued capital expenditures including investments in the Joint Venture were $71 million during the second quarter of 2021. Gathering, compression, and water infrastructure capital investments totaled $70 million and investments in unconsolidated affiliates for the Joint Venture were less than $1 million. Of the $70 million invested in gathering, compression, and water infrastructure, $58 million was in gathering and compression assets and $12 million was in water handling assets.

Brendan Krueger, CFO of Antero Midstream, said, 'The second quarter represented another strong quarter, generating Free Cash Flow after dividends and ending the quarter with leverage of 3.6x. Importantly, with the recent issuance of the senior notes due 2029, Antero Midstream does not have any senior note maturities within the next five years. This strong balance sheet, combined with Antero Midstream's scale, cash flow growth and an attractive dividend that is funded within free cash flow provide a differentiated business model.'

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Definitions

Antero Midstream uses certain non-GAAP financial measures. Antero Midstream defines Adjusted Net Income as net income plus amortization of customer contracts, impairment expense, and loss (gain) on asset sale and loss on early extinguishment of debt, net of tax effect of reconciling items. Antero Midstream uses Adjusted Net Income to assess the operating performance of its assets. Antero Midstream defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, provision for income tax expense (benefit), amortization of customer relationships, depreciation expense, impairment expense, accretion, equity-based compensation expense, excluding equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, plus cash distributions from unconsolidated affiliates, loss (gain) on asset sale and loss on early extinguishment of debt.

Antero Midstream uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess:

· the financial performance of Antero Midstream's assets, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
· its operating performance and return on capital as compared to other publicly traded companies in the midstream energy sector, without regard to financing or capital structure; and
· the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects.

Antero Midstream defines Free Cash Flow before dividends as Adjusted EBITDA less interest expense and accrued capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow after dividends is defined as Free Cash Flow before dividends less dividends declared for the quarter. Antero Midstream uses Free Cash Flow before and after dividends as a performance metric to compare the cash generating performance of Antero Midstream from period to period.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Free Cash Flow before and after dividends are non-GAAP financial measures. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income is Net Income. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow before and after dividends is cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the GAAP measures of Net Income and cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities. The presentations of such measures are not made in accordance with GAAP and have important limitations as analytical tools because they include some, but not all, items that affect Net Income and cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities. You should not consider any or all such measures in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP. Antero Midstream's definitions of such measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Antero Midstream defines Net Debt as consolidated total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Antero Midstream views Net Debt as an important indicator in evaluating Antero Midstream's financial leverage.

This release also includes certain non-GAAP financial information for Antero Resources. For a more information regarding those measures, please see Antero Resources' press release dated today, a copy of which can be found on Antero Resources website, www.anteroresources.com.
