DENVER, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Antero Midstream Corporation (NYSE: AM) ("Antero Midstream" or the "Company") today announced its third 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 September 30, 2026.
Highlights:
- Gathering and compression volumes increased by 19% and 17%, respectively, compared to the prior year quarter
- Net Income was $393 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, a 242% per share increase compared to the prior year quarter
- Adjusted Net Income was $134 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, a 4% per share increase compared to the prior year quarter (non-GAAP measure)
- Adjusted EBITDA was $291 million, a 3% increase compared to the prior year quarter (non-GAAP measure)
- Capital expenditures were $51 million, in line with the prior year quarter
- Adjusted Free Cash Flow before dividends was $555 million and Adjusted Free Cash Flow after dividends was $449 million, including a $377 million gain on litigation (non-GAAP measure)
- Leverage declined to 2.8x as of September 30, 2026 (non-GAAP measure)
Michael Kennedy, CEO and President of Antero Midstream said, "Antero Midstream delivered another quarter of year-over-year throughput and earnings growth with flat capital investments. On the operational front, we are currently servicing two drilled but uncompleted growth pads utilizing our legacy water system and remain on track to complete our HG water system integration efforts by year-end. These growth pads and integration efforts are expected to drive visible EBITDA growth in the fourth quarter of 2026 and 2027."
Justin Agnew, CFO of Antero Midstream, said, "We continue to increase our assets while maintaining a strong balance sheet and returning capital to shareholders. This includes reducing absolute debt by over $400 million during the quarter, calling our nearest maturity senior notes, and accelerating share repurchases once our leverage target was achieved. Including the internally financed HG acquisition earlier this year, our leverage is flat and our share count has declined by 4 million shares compared to this time last year."

Share Repurchases
During the third quarter of 2026, Antero Midstream repurchased 1.3 million shares for approximately $27 million. Antero Midstream had approximately $283 million of remaining capacity under its share repurchase program as of September 30, 2026.
Strategic and Operating Updates
Antero Midstream commenced water operations to support Antero Resources two drilled but uncompleted growth pads that will utilize the fresh water system in the fourth quarter of 2026. These two pads are expected to drive additional throughput growth in 2027.
The Company expects to complete its water system integration efforts by year-end that will connect the acquired water system to Antero Midstream's legacy system with the capability to service Antero's entire footprint at high deliverability rates. Antero Midstream also expects to place in service 80 MMcf/d of additional compression capacity in the liquids-rich corridor in the fourth quarter of 2026. Lastly, the Company continued initial construction on East Side Express, the Company's first regional connectivity expansion project.
Capital expenditures totaled $51 million during the third quarter of 2026. The Company invested $37 million in gathering and compression and approximately $14 million in water infrastructure. In the third quarter of 2026, Antero Midstream connected 22 wells to its gathering system and serviced 22 wells with its fresh water delivery system. During the quarter there was approximately 10 Bcf of reduced throughput due to curtailments and Antero Midstream expects approximately 15 to 20 Bcf of curtailments in the fourth quarter of 2026.
2026 Guidance Update
Antero Midstream is updating its 2026 guidance to reflect receipt of the Clearwater litigation proceeds. Based on the $377 million of litigation proceeds, net of the impact of interest expense and current income tax expense, the Company is increasing 2026 Adjusted Free Cash Flow before and after dividends guidance by $370 million. All other guidance ranges not referenced below remain unchanged.

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, current income tax expense, and gain on litigation. 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.

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.
