Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q3 2024 results show solid financial performance with notable improvements in key metrics. Net Income reached $100 million ($0.21 per share), marking a 5% increase year-over-year. Free Cash Flow after dividends grew impressively by 32% to $40 million, demonstrating strong operational efficiency.

The company maintains a leverage ratio of 3.1x, approaching its target of 3.0x, while consistently reducing debt. However, the guidance update reveals some pressure points, with increased interest expense projections and reduced net income guidance by $25 million at midpoint, primarily due to higher interest rates.

The reduction in fresh water delivery volumes by 33% due to decreased completion crews is noteworthy but offset by stable processing and gathering volumes. Joint Venture assets continue operating at 100% utilization, indicating efficient capacity management.

Infrastructure Expert

The operational metrics reveal a strategic infrastructure positioning with mixed volume trends. High-pressure gathering volumes increased by 4%, while low-pressure gathering slightly declined by 1%. The processing and fractionation facilities maintaining 100% utilization rates at 1.6 Bcf/d and 40 MBbl/d respectively demonstrates optimal asset efficiency.

Capital expenditure management appears prudent, with $56 million spent strategically across gathering, compression and water infrastructure. The acceleration of capital spending due to favorable weather conditions, with plans for a Q4 reduction, shows adaptive management of infrastructure development while maintaining annual guidance.

• Adjusted Net Income was $113 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in line with the prior year quarter (non-GAAP measure)

Mr. Rady further added, "During the third quarter, Antero Midstream generated $40 million of Free Cash Flow after dividends, which was an increase of 32% from last year.  This represents the ninth consecutive quarter of generating Free Cash Flow after dividends and brings the year-to-date total to almost $160 million."

Brendan Krueger, CFO of Antero Midstream, said "Consistent with our absolute debt and leverage reduction targets, Antero Midstream continued to pay down debt during the third quarter.  Following the acceleration of capital into the third quarter due to favorable weather conditions, we expect a significant decline in capital in the fourth quarter.  This reduction in capital is expected to result in increased Free Cash Flow, positioning us well to achieve our 3.0x leverage target during the quarter."

Third Quarter 2024 Operating Update

During the third quarter of 2024, Antero Midstream connected 23 wells to its gathering system and serviced 9 wells with its fresh water delivery system.

Capital Investments

Capital expenditures were $56 million during the third quarter of 2024.  The Company invested $49 million in gathering and compression, $6 million in water infrastructure, and $1 million in the Stonewall Joint Venture for an expansion to improve connectivity to the Mountain Valley Pipeline.  The increase in capital expenditures during the quarter was driven by favorable weather conditions and the acceleration of capital into the third quarter.  As a result, Antero Midstream expects a sequential decline in capital expenditures during the fourth quarter to remain in line with its annual 2024 capital budget guidance of $150 to $170 million.

2024 Guidance Update

Antero Midstream is adjusting its 2024 net income, adjusted net income, and interest expense guidance.  The changes are driven primarily by increased interest expense as a result of higher interest rates and other non-cash items related to the refinancing of senior notes and credit facility in 2024.  All other guidance ranges remain unchanged.

		Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2024							Change vs. Prior Guidance
		Low		High					(At midpoint)
Net Income		$400		$420					$(25)
Adjusted Net Income		465		485					(15)
Interest Expense		200		210					10

Antero Midstream appointed Jeffrey Muñoz to its Board as a Class II Director.  He is an independent director under the director independence standards set forth in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.  Mr. Muñoz has over 30 years of experience in the energy industry with a legal and accounting background, having spent ten years as a partner with Latham and Watkins LLP where he served as a member of the firm's diversity committee.

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 relationships, impairment of property and equipment, loss on early extinguishment of debt, and loss (gain) on asset sale, 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 net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation expense, amortization of customer relationships, loss (gain) on asset sale, accretion of asset retirement obligations, impairment of property and equipment, loss on early extinguishment of debt, loss on settlement of asset retirement obligations, and equity-based compensation expense, excluding equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, plus 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 before dividends as Adjusted EBITDA less net interest expense and accrual-based capital expenditures.  Capital expenditures include additions to gathering systems and facilities, additions to water handling systems, and investments in unconsolidated affiliates.  Capital expenditures exclude acquisitions.  Free Cash Flow after dividends is defined as Free Cash Flow before dividends less accrual-based 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 these measures is Net Income.  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 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.

Change in accrued capital costs			11,985						(163)
Capital expenditures (accrual basis)		$	57,271						56,265

Antero Midstream defines Net Debt as consolidated total debt, excluding unamortized debt premiums and debt issuance costs, less cash and cash equivalents.  Antero Midstream views Net Debt as an important indicator in evaluating Antero Midstream's financial leverage.  Antero Midstream defines leverage as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months.  The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Net Debt is total debt, excluding unamortized debt premiums and debt issuance costs.
