Paul Rady, Chairman and CEO said, “Antero Midstream delivered another exceptional quarter with double-digit Adjusted EBITDA growth combined with double-digit declines in capital expenditures year-over-year. As a result, Antero Midstream generated $74 million of Free Cash Flow after dividends during the quarter, which is over 60% higher than last year. These results highlight the value of Antero’s integrated planning and development program in Appalachia.”
Brendan Krueger, CFO of Antero Midstream, said “With the Free Cash Flow after dividends generated during the quarter, we made significant progress towards our 3.0x Leverage target, reducing Leverage from 3.3x at year-end to 3.1x at the end of the quarter. We continue to expect to achieve the 3.0x Leverage target in 2024, which will position us well to pursue further return of capital to shareholders.”

First Quarter 2024 Operating Update
Gathering and Processing — During the first quarter of 2024, Antero Midstream connected 12 wells to its gathering system. Additionally, at the end of the first quarter Antero Midstream placed into service its Grays Peak compressor station with an initial capacity of 160 MMcf/d. This station utilized compressor units relocated from underutilized areas, which resulted in approximately $15 million of capital savings. The Grays Peak station will service future development in the liquids-rich midstream corridor of the Marcellus Shale and bring Antero Midstream’s total compression capacity to 4.7 Bcf/d.
Capital Investments
Capital expenditures were $30 million during the first quarter of 2024. The company invested $25 million in gathering and compression and $5 million in water infrastructure.

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, loss on early extinguishment of debt, loss on settlement of asset retirement obligations 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 interest expense, net, income tax expense, depreciation expense, amortization of customer relationships, loss on early extinguishment of debt, loss (gain) on asset sale, accretion of asset retirement obligations, impairment of property and equipment, 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 interest expense, net 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 (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.

| Capital expenditures (accrual basis) | $ | 33,603 | 29,772 | |||||
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.
