Antero Midstream Announces First Quarter 2025 Financial and Operating Results

 

Denver, Colorado, April 30, 2025—Antero Midstream Corporation (NYSE: AM) (“Antero Midstream” or the “Company”) today announced its first quarter 2025 financial and operating results. The relevant unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are included in Antero Midstream’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

 

First Quarter 2025 Highlights:

 

	·	Low pressure gathering and processing volumes increased by 1% and 3%, respectively, compared to the prior year quarter
	·	Net Income was $121 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, a 19% per share increase compared to the prior year quarter
	·	Adjusted Net Income was $134 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, a 17% per share increase compared to the prior year quarter (non-GAAP measure)
	·	Adjusted EBITDA was $274 million, a 3% increase compared to the prior year quarter (non-GAAP measure)
	·	Capital expenditures were $37 million, a 25% increase compared to the prior year quarter
	·	Free Cash Flow after dividends was $79 million, a 7% increase compared to the prior year quarter (non-GAAP measure)
	·	Leverage was 2.95x as of March 31, 2025 (non-GAAP measure)
	·	Repurchased 1.7 million shares for $29 million

 

Paul Rady, Chairman and CEO said, “Antero Midstream delivered another quarter of gathering volume growth and record processing volumes. In addition, we placed the Torrey’s Peak compressor station in service late in the first quarter, which was ahead of initial expectations of a second quarter in-service date. This station was the third station to relocate underutilized compressor units, resulting in over $30 million of estimated capital savings. This additional capacity will support the further gathering volume growth anticipated throughout 2025.”

 

Brendan Krueger, CFO of Antero Midstream, said “Antero Midstream’s throughput growth, combined with lower debt and interest expense, resulted in double-digit earnings per share growth year-over-year. The first quarter also represented the eleventh consecutive quarter of generating Free Cash Flow after Dividends and the second consecutive quarter with Free Cash Flow after dividends exceeding $75 million. This allowed us to enhance our return of capital to shareholders by reducing absolute debt, paying an attractive dividend, and repurchasing shares. Given our strong balance sheet, we will continue to be flexible in our return of capital program, particularly when we see market opportunities.”

 

For a discussion of the non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Leverage, and Free Cash Flow after dividends please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

 

 

Share Repurchases

 

During the first quarter of 2025, Antero Midstream repurchased 1.7 million shares for $29 million. Antero Midstream had approximately $443 million of remaining capacity under its $500 million authorized share repurchase program as of March 31, 2025.

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 (gain) loss 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, (gain) loss on asset sale, accretion of asset retirement obligations, impairment of property and equipment, loss on early extinguishment of debt, 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, accrual-based capital expenditures, and current income tax expense. 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.

 

The following table reconciles cash paid for capital expenditures and accrued capital expenditures during the period (in thousands):

 

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2024				2025
Capital expenditures (as reported on a cash basis)		$	35,073				32,276
Change in accrued capital costs			(5,301	)			5,012
Capital expenditures (accrual basis)		$	29,772				37,288

 

Antero Midstream defines net debt as consolidated total debt, excluding unamortized debt premiums and debt issuance costs, less cash and cash equivalents (“Net Debt”). 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.

 

The following table reconciles consolidated total debt to Net Debt as used in this release (in thousands):
