Denver, Colorado, July 29, 2026 - Antero Midstream Corporation (NYSE: AM) (“Antero Midstream” or the “Company”) today announced its second quarter 2026 financial and operating results. The relevant consolidated financial statements are included in Antero Midstream’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Highlights:
- Gathering and compression volumes increased by 19% and 17%, respectively, compared to the prior year quarter
- Net Income was $114 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, an 8% per share decrease compared to the prior year quarter
- Adjusted Net Income was $131 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, a 7% per share decrease compared to the prior year quarter (non-GAAP measure)
- Adjusted EBITDA was $289 million, a 2% increase compared to the prior year quarter (non-GAAP measure)
- Capital expenditures were $47 million
- Adjusted Free Cash Flow after dividends was $80 million (non-GAAP measure)
- Commenced construction on the Company’s first intrastate regional pipeline (“East Side Express”)
- Received $371 million in damages and interest from Veolia in July and called $650 million of senior notes due 2028 at par
Michael Kennedy, CEO and President of Antero Midstream said, “During the quarter, Antero Midstream gathered over 4.1 Bcf/d of production, which was a 19% increase year-over-year and a new company record. Our water integration projects remain on track, which we expect to drive high-single digit EBITDA growth in 2027.”
Mr. Kennedy further added, “In addition, during the quarter we commenced initial construction of our first intrastate regional pipeline, the “East Side Express”, which will enhance regional connectivity within our operating areas. This pipeline positions Antero Midstream for future dry gas growth in West Virginia with decades of underlying inventory to capture growing regional demand. This east-west bi-directional pipeline represents our first regional pipeline and adds significant optionality for future intrastate pipeline projects that provide an integrated midstream solution connecting low-cost supply to demand centers.”
Justin Agnew, CFO of Antero Midstream, said “The second quarter marked our twelfth consecutive quarter of generating Free Cash Flow after dividends, highlighting the consistency of operations over the last three years. Looking ahead, we expect an increase in volumes across both the gathering and water businesses to drive EBITDA growth in the back half of the year in line with our full year guidance range.”
Mr. Agnew further added, “In July, Antero Midstream received approximately $371 million of proceeds from Veolia, which allowed us to reduce absolute debt and be below our 3-times leverage target ahead of expectations. After calling the $650 million of senior notes due 2028 at par, Antero Midstream has over $600 million of liquidity and no near-term maturities. This provides us with significant liquidity and balance sheet capacity to pursue additional growth opportunities and further return of capital to shareholders.”

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 Adjusted 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 and Adjusted Free Cash Flow excludes transaction expense related to acquisitions. Adjusted Free Cash Flow after dividends is defined as Adjusted Free Cash Flow before dividends less accrual-based dividends declared for the quarter. Antero Midstream uses Adjusted 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 Adjusted 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.
The following table reconciles cash paid for capital expenditures and accrued capital expenditures during the period (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended June 30, |
|---|
| 2025 | 2026 |
|---|
| Capital expenditures (as reported on a cash basis) | $40,064 | 52,743 |
| Change in accrued capital costs | 4,783 | (6,065) |
| Capital expenditures (accrual basis) | $44,847 | 46,678 |
Antero Midstream defines Net Debt as consolidated total debt, excluding unamortized debt premiums and debt issuance costs, less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. 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.
