Paul Rady, Chairman and CEO said, "Antero Midstream delivered a strong quarter with no material volume curtailments due to the coordinated efforts and planning of Antero Midstream and Antero Resources. As a result, Antero Midstream's gathering and compression volumes increased 8% year-over-year and 6% sequentially during the second quarter. We are incredibly proud of all of our employees who have safely delivered these results despite the ongoing uncertainty and challenges surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. This operational excellence, combined with our continued reduction in capital expenditures, resulted in Free Cash Flow of $108 million compared to $15 million the second quarter of 2019."

Mr. Rady further added, "Due to the just-in-time nature of our capital investments with no long-term major capital projects, Antero Midstream has been able to reduce its capital budget by over $100 million in 2020. This has in-turn improved our Free Cash Flow guidance by $60 million in 2020 compared to our original guidance and allows Antero Midstream to maintain a strong balance sheet with significant liquidity and financial flexibility."

Antero Resources Developments

On June 15, 2020, Antero Resources announced the closing of a $402 million overriding royalty interest ("ORRI") transaction. In addition, Antero Resources announced that in July of 2020 it monetized excess 2021 natural gas hedges as a result of the ORRI transaction for proceeds of approximately $29 million. Antero Resources disclosed that, pro forma for the hedge monetization, it expects to be 100% hedged on its 2021 natural gas production at a price of $2.77/MMBtu. The hedge monetization brings Antero Resources' total asset sale proceeds to $531 million, inclusive of up to $102 million of contingent consideration relating to the ORRI transaction that may be earned through 2021, compared to a stated asset sale target of $750 million to $1.0 billion. Since the commencement of Antero Resources' debt repurchase program in the fourth quarter of 2019, Antero Resources has repurchased $888 million of notional debt at a 19% weighted average discount, reducing total indebtedness by $171 million and net interest expense by $24 million on an annualized basis. Antero Resources has stated that pro forma for the hedge monetization, its liquidity position as of June 30, 2020 was approximately $1.0 billion and that the par value of its 2021 and 2022 maturities outstanding has been reduced from $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion at issuance to $503 million and $756 million, respectively, each as of July 24, 2020.

COVID-19 Pandemic Developments

As a midstream energy company, Antero Midstream is recognized as an essential business under various federal, state and local regulations related to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Antero Midstream has continued to operate as permitted under these regulations while taking steps to protect the health and safety of its workers.  Antero Midstream has implemented protocols to reduce the risk of an outbreak within its field operations, and these protocols have not reduced Antero Resources' production or Antero Midstream's throughput in a significant manner.  A substantial portion of the Company's non-field level employees  continue to operate in remote work from home arrangements, and Antero Midstream has been able to maintain a consistent level of effectiveness through these arrangements, including maintaining day-to-day operations, its financial reporting systems and its internal control over financial reporting. For more information, please see Antero Midstream's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Updated Capital Budget and Free Cash Flow Guidance

Antero Midstream announced a reduction in its 2020 capital budget to a range of $200 to $215 million from the original budget of $300 to $325 million and previously revised budget of $215 to $240 million. The capital budget assumes a sequential reduction in capital expenditures in the second half of 2020 as compared to the first half of 2020 and contemplates a 2021 Antero Resources development plan that maintains flat year-over-year net production. As a result of the capital budget reduction, Antero Midstream is increasing Free Cash Flow guidance (before return of capital and changes in working capital) to $445 to $475 million from the original guidance of $375 to $425 million and previously revised guidance of $420 to $450 million. All guidance not discussed in this release, including Antero Midstream's Net Loss, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow guidance, is unchanged from previously stated guidance.

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Low pressure gathering volumes for the second quarter of 2020 averaged 2,869 MMcf/d, an 8% increase as compared to the prior year quarter.  Low pressure gathering volumes were in excess of the second quarter 2020 growth incentive fee threshold of 2,700 MMcf/d, resulting in a $12 million rebate to Antero Resources. Compression volumes for the second quarter of 2020 averaged 2,712 MMcf/d, a 13% increase as compared to the second quarter of 2019.  High pressure gathering volumes for the second quarter of 2020 averaged 2,839 MMcf/d, an 8% increase compared to the second quarter of 2019. Fresh water delivery volumes averaged 102 MBbl/d during the quarter, a 16% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2019.

Gross processing volumes from the 50/50 processing and fractionation joint venture with MarkWest (a wholly owned subsidiary of MPLX) (the "Joint Venture") averaged 1,404 MMcf/d for the second quarter of 2020, a 42% increase compared to the prior year quarter.  Joint Venture processing capacity was 100% utilized during the quarter.  Gross Joint Venture fractionation volumes averaged 33 MBbl/d, a 22% increase compared to the prior year quarter.

		Three Months Ended June 30,
Average Daily Volumes:		2019		2020		% Change
Low Pressure Gathering (MMcf/d)		2,662		2,869		8%
Compression (MMcf/d)		2,396		2,712		13%
High Pressure Gathering (MMcf/d)		2,620		2,839		8%
Fresh Water Delivery (MBbl/d)		122		102		(16)%
Gross Joint Venture Processing (MMcf/d)		986		1,404		42%
Gross Joint Venture Fractionation (MBbl/d)		27		33		22%

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, revenues were $220 million, comprised of $174 million from the Gathering and Processing segment and $63 million from the Water Handling segment, net of $18 million of amortization of customer relationships. Water Handling revenues include $26 million from wastewater handling and high rate water transfer services.

Direct operating expenses for the Gathering and Processing and Water Handling segments were $14 million and $28 million, respectively, for a total of $42 million, compared to $64 million in total direct operating expenses in the prior year quarter. Water Handling operating expenses include $26 million from wastewater handling and high rate water transfer services. The decrease in direct operating expenses was driven by lower per unit gathering and fresh water delivery operating expenses as well as lower costs associated with flowback and produced water. General and administrative expenses excluding equity-based compensation were $10 million during the second quarter of 2020.  Total operating expenses included $3 million of equity compensation expense, and $28 million of depreciation.  

Net income was $88 million, or $0.19 per share, representing a 36% increase compared to the prior year quarter.  Net income adjusted for amortization of customer relationships, or Adjusted Net Income, was $106 million. Adjusted Net Income per share was $0.22 per share, representing a 36% increase compared to the prior year quarter.  Adjusted EBITDA was $201 million, a 2% decrease compared to the prior year quarter. Antero Midstream only received two monthly Joint Venture distributions during the quarter compared to three monthly distributions received in prior quarters, resulting in a $(7) million reduction in Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA also included $2 million of Antero Clearwater Facility idling costs during the second quarter.  Cash interest paid was $7 million. The increase in cash reserved for bond interest during the quarter was $27 million. Maintenance capital expenditures during the quarter totaled $15 million and distributable cash flow was $152 million. Based on the previously declared dividend of $0.3075 per share, Antero Midstream's Distributable Cash Flow coverage ratio was approximately 1.0x.

Cash reserved for bond interest expense on Antero Midstream's senior notes outstanding during the period that is paid on a semi-annual basis.

2)

Maintenance capital expenditures represent the portion of our estimated capital expenditures associated with (i) the connection of new wells to our gathering and processing systems that we believe will be necessary to offset the natural production declines Antero Resources will experience on all of its wells over time, and (ii) water delivery to new wells necessary to maintain the average throughput volume on our systems.

Gathering and Processing — During the second quarter of 2020, Antero Midstream connected 44 wells to its gathering system. In addition, Antero Midstream added 240 MMcf/d of compression capacity in the Marcellus during the quarter bringing its total compression capacity to 3.1 Bcf/d. Antero Midstream's compression capacity was approximately 91% utilized during the quarter.

Water Handling— Antero Midstream's Marcellus water delivery systems serviced 22 well completions during the second quarter of 2020, a 12% decrease from the prior year quarter.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2020, Antero Midstream had approximately $1.16 billion drawn on its $2.13 billion bank credit facility, resulting in approximately $970 million of liquidity. Antero Midstream's Net Debt to trailing twelve months pro forma Adjusted EBITDA ("Leverage") was 3.7x as of June 30, 2020.

Capital Investments

Total capital expenditures including investments in the Joint Venture were $59 million during the second quarter of 2020. Gathering, compression, and water infrastructure capital investments totaled $49 million and investments in unconsolidated affiliates for the Joint Venture were $10 million. Of the $49 million invested in gathering, compression, and water infrastructure, $43 million was in gathering and compression assets and $6 million was in water the handling assets.    

Michael Kennedy, CFO of Antero Midstream, said, "The 63% year-over-year reduction in capital expenditures highlights our just-in-time capital investment philosophy that quickly adapts to changes in Antero Resources development plan. This allowed Antero Midstream to generate $108 million of Free Cash Flow before return of capital and changes in working capital. Importantly, after the $156 million of return of capital to shareholders and $39 million tax reimbursement, Antero Midstream's Net Debt and Leverage were flat quarter-over-quarter at $3.1 billion and  3.7x, respectively."

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 and impairment expenses. Antero Midstream uses Adjusted Net Income to assess the operating performance of its assets. Antero Midstream defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before amortization of customer relationships, impairment expense, interest expense, provision for income tax expense, loss on asset sale, depreciation expense, accretion, equity-based compensation expense, excluding equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, and including cash distributions from unconsolidated affiliates.

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 as Adjusted EBITDA less interest paid, decrease in cash reserved for bond interest and capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow is before dividend payments, share repurchases and changes in working capital. Antero Midstream uses Free Cash Flow as a performance metric to compare the cash generating performance of Antero Midstream from period to period. 

Antero Midstream's defines Distributable Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less interest paid, increase in cash reserved for bond interest, income tax withholding upon vesting of equity-based compensation awards, and ongoing maintenance capital expenditures paid. Antero Midstream uses Distributable Cash Flow as a performance metric to compare the cash generating performance of Antero Midstream from period to period and to compare the cash generating performance for specific periods to the cash dividends (if any) that are expected to be paid to shareholders.  Distributable Cash Flow does not reflect changes in working capital balances.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow, and Distributable Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures.  The GAAP measure most directly comparable to such measures is Net Income.  Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the GAAP measure of Net Income.  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.  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.

Antero Midstream has not included a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to the nearest GAAP financial measure for 2020 because it cannot do so without unreasonable effort and any attempt to do so would be inherently imprecise. Antero Midstream is able to forecast the following reconciling items between such measures and Net Income (in thousands):
