Insights

Equity Analyst

Antero Midstream delivered stronger cash generation, lower leverage, and executed refinancing and buybacks in Q3 2025.

Antero Midstream grew core volumes with low pressure gathering up 5% and processing up 6%, reported Net Income of $116 million ($0.24 per diluted share) and Adjusted EBITDA of $281 million (+10%). Free Cash Flow after dividends nearly doubled to $78 million, and leverage declined to 2.7x, while the company repurchased 2.3 million shares for $41 million.

The business mechanism is clear: higher throughput and steady margins produced incremental cash that funded debt reduction, a refinancing that pushes the next maturity to 2033, and share repurchases. Key dependencies and risks are operational throughput staying at or above current levels, the Joint Venture remaining >100% utilized where noted, and continued availability of cash to support both dividends and buybacks. Watch near-term indicators: quarterly Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow after dividends, Leverage (Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA), and any changes to the share repurchase capacity (currently ~$385 million remaining). Anticipate monitoring these items over the next 1–4 quarters for confirmation of the stated trend.

DENVER, Oct. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Antero Midstream Corporation (NYSE: AM) ("Antero Midstream" or the "Company") today announced its third 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 September 30, 2025.

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights:

• Low pressure gathering and processing volumes increased by 5% and 6%, respectively, compared to the prior year quarter
• Net Income was $116 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, a 14% per share increase compared to the prior year quarter
• Adjusted Net Income was $130 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, a 17% per share increase compared to the prior year quarter (non-GAAP measure)
• Adjusted EBITDA was $281 million, a 10% increase compared to the prior year quarter (non-GAAP measure)
• Capital expenditures were $51 million, a 9% decrease compared to the prior year quarter
• Free Cash Flow after dividends was $78 million, a 94% increase compared to the prior year quarter (non-GAAP measure)
• Leverage declined to 2.7x as of September 30, 2025 (non-GAAP measure)
• Repurchased 2.3 million shares for $41 million

Michael Kennedy, CEO and President of Antero Midstream said, "Antero Midstream reported another strong quarter operationally with 5% year-over-year growth in gathering and compression volumes.  Additionally, fresh water delivery volumes increased by 30% year-over-year while servicing just one completion crew.  This completion crew set records for completion stages per day and pumping hours, highlighting the deliverability, consistency, and importance of Antero Midstream's world-class integrated water system."

Justin Agnew, CFO of Antero Midstream, said "Antero Midstream's continued EBITDA growth with declining capital resulted in third quarter 2025 Free Cash Flow after dividends nearly doubling from last year.  This significant Free Cash Flow generation allowed us to reduce absolute debt while returning incremental capital to shareholders during the quarter.  Our balanced approach of debt reduction and purchasing shares, which have totaled $105 million and $114 million in 2025, respectively, further enhances our financial flexibility."

Mr. Agnew continued, "The continuous credit improvement also resulted in a credit rating upgrade and allowed Antero Midstream to refinance its nearest-term debt maturity out to 2033 at an attractive coupon.  This upsized refinancing transaction leaves Antero Midstream with no near-term maturities, further enhancing our financial profile."

Share Repurchase Program

During the third quarter of 2025, Antero Midstream repurchased 2.3 million shares for $41 million.  Antero Midstream had approximately $385 million of remaining capacity under its $500 million authorized share repurchase program as of September 30, 2025.  Year-to-date through September 30, 2025, total shares purchased under the share repurchase program and for tax withholding obligations have totaled 6.7 million shares at a weighted average price of $17.05 per share.  

Third Quarter 2025 Operating and Strategic Update

During the third quarter of 2025, Antero Midstream connected 16 wells to its gathering system and serviced 17 wells with its fresh water delivery system.  Capital expenditures were $51 million during the third quarter of 2025.  The Company invested $24 million in gathering and compression, $26 million in water infrastructure and $1 million in the Stonewall Joint Venture.  The increase in water infrastructure capital was driven by the completion of the integrated water system connecting the entire liquids-rich midstream corridor in the Marcellus Shale.

The remainder of the capital in the 2025 budget is focused on additional well connect and fresh water delivery capital for the 2026 development plan, including the first Marcellus dry gas pad on Antero Midstream dedicated acreage.  This pad is located on the dry gas gathering and compression assets acquired in 2022 where there is underutilized midstream capacity.  This dry gas development will have access to local Appalachian markets with the ability to support future demand growth from natural gas fired power generation and AI datacenters.

In addition, Antero Resources announced that it has completed approximately $260 million of acquisitions in the Marcellus Shale.  The acquisitions include 75 to 100 MMcfe/d of production already gathered by Antero Midstream and 10 undeveloped locations that were free of midstream dedication, allowing Antero Midstream the right of dedication.  Antero Resources also announced that it is increasing its 2025 organic land leasing program by $50 million in the liquids-rich Marcellus fairway.  This program has successfully added 79 locations year-to-date that are dedicated to Antero Midstream.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Definitions

Antero Midstream uses certain non-GAAP financial measures.  Antero Midstream defines Adjusted Net Income as Net Income adjusted for certain items.  Antero Midstream uses Adjusted Net Income to assess the operating performance of its assets.  Antero Midstream defines Adjusted EBITDA as Net Income adjusted for certain items.

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 (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.

Change in accrued capital costs			(163)						3,586
Capital expenditures (accrual basis)		$	56,265						51,336

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.
