  • Record gathering, compression, fresh water delivery, processing and fractionation volumes
  • Net Debt to trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA of 2.3x and $750 million of liquidity at quarter-end

AMGP Second Quarter 2018 Highlights Include:

  • Net income increased by $18 million to $14 million, or $0.07 per common share, compared to the prior year quarter
  • Distributable Cash Flow increased by 294% to $23 million, compared to the prior year quarter

Commenting on the second quarter 2018 results, Paul Rady, Chairman and CEO said, "Antero Midstream delivered another strong quarter with record gathering, compression, processing and fractionation volumes. Additionally, Antero Midstream reported record fresh water delivery volumes, driven by Antero Resource's increase in completion stages per day. Looking to the second half of 2018, we expect additional gathering and compression volume growth as Antero expects to turn 65 to 75 wells to sales in the third quarter as compared to 51 wells placed to sales in the first half of the year."

Antero Midstream Second Quarter Financial Results

Low pressure gathering volumes for the second quarter of 2018 averaged 1,981 MMcf/d, an 18% increase as compared to the prior year quarter.  Compression volumes for the second quarter of 2018 averaged 1,558 MMcf/d, a 31% increase as compared to the second quarter of 2017.  High pressure gathering volumes for the second quarter of 2018 averaged 1,932 MMcf/d, an 11% increase over the second quarter of 2017.  The increase in gathering and compression volumes to Partnership record levels was driven by production growth from Antero Resources in Antero Midstream's area of dedication.  Fresh water delivery volumes averaged a record 228 MBbl/d during the quarter, driven by increased completion stages per day. Antero Midstream treated 8 Mbbl/d of wastewater at the Antero Clearwater Facility during the second quarter.

Gross processing volumes from the processing and fractionation joint venture with MarkWest (a wholly-owned subsidiary of MPLX) (the "Joint Venture") averaged 571 MMcf/d for the second quarter of 2018, an increase of 164% compared to the prior year quarter.  Gross Joint Venture fractionation volumes averaged 10,046 Bbl/d, a 148% increase compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in processing and fractionation volumes is driven by an increase in Antero Resources' rich gas and C3+ NGL production volumes.

Maintenance capital expenditures represent the portion of our estimated capital expenditures associated with (i) the connection of new wells to our gathering and processing systems that we believe will be necessary to offset the natural production declines Antero Resources will experience on all of its wells over time, and (ii) water delivery to new wells necessary to maintain the average throughput volume on our systems.

Gathering and Processing During the second quarter, Antero Midstream expanded one of its rich gas Marcellus compressor stations by 80 MMcf/d. Including the 440 MMcf/d of additions during the first quarter of  2018, Antero Midstream has expanded its compression capacity by 520 MMcf/d year-to-date.  Antero Midstream's total compression capacity at the end of the second quarter of 2018 was over 2.2 Bcf/d in the Marcellus and Utica combined.  Additionally, Antero Midstream connected 30 wells to its gathering system during the quarter.  Antero Resources is currently operating five drilling rigs on Antero Midstream dedicated acreage.

The Joint Venture with MPLX continued construction on the Sherwood 10 and 11 Processing Plants, which are expected to be placed online by the end of the third quarter and fourth quarter of 2018, respectively. In addition, the Joint Venture commenced civil construction on its new processing site, "Smithburg", during the second quarter of 2018. The Smithburg Processing Site will initially have a footprint capable of supporting 1.2 Bcf/d of cryogenic processing facilities, or six 200 MMcf/d plants. Importantly, the Smithburg processing site is strategically located two miles west of the Sherwood Processing Facility and will connect to major long-haul pipelines and NGL infrastructure.

Water Handling and Treatment Antero Midstream's Marcellus and Utica fresh water delivery systems serviced 48 well completions during the second quarter of 2018, a 29% increase from the prior year quarter.  Antero Resources operated six completion crews on Antero Midstream dedicated acreage in the second quarter of 2018 but expects to reduce its completion crews to four in the second half of 2018.

During the second quarter of 2018, Antero Midstream placed in service the Antero Clearwater Facility, which is the largest advanced wastewater treatment facility for shale oil and gas operations in the world. The Antero Clearwater Facility was temporarily taken offline in June for maintenance and to install additional pretreatment facilities to improve operations.  The facility was placed back into commercial service at the end of July.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2018, Antero Midstream had $20 million in cash and $770 million drawn on its $1.5 billion bank credit facility, resulting in $750 million of liquidity.  Antero Midstream's net debt to trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA was 2.3x as of June 30, 2018.  For a reconciliation of consolidated net debt to consolidated total debt, the most comparable GAAP measure, please read "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Commenting on Antero Midstream's distribution growth and balance sheet, Michael Kennedy, CFO of Antero Midstream said, "The success of Antero Midstream's organic growth model is highlighted by the recent declaration of the Partnership's fourteenth consecutive distribution increase reflecting a 30% annualized growth rate since its IPO in 2014. Importantly, Antero Midstream has delivered this peer-leading growth while maintaining a DCF coverage ratio well in excess of its initial coverage ratio targets in every quarter, demonstrating the consistency of Antero's development plan and integrated midstream strategy.  Additionally, Antero Midstream continues to maintain a strong balance sheet with leverage at 2.3x as of June 30, 2018."

Capital Investments

Capital expenditures, excluding investments in the processing and fractionation joint venture, were $128 million in the second quarter of 2018 as compared to $147 million in the second quarter of 2017.  Capital invested in gathering systems and related facilities was $113 million and capital invested in water handling and treatment assets was $15 million, including $5 million invested in the Antero Clearwater Facility.  Investments in unconsolidated affiliates for the Joint Venture were $39 million during the quarter.

AMGP Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results

AMGP's equity in earnings from Antero Midstream, which reflects the cash distributions from Antero Midstream, was $33 million for the second quarter of 2018.  Net income for the quarter was $14 million.  AMGP's cash distributions from Antero Midstream were $33 million, net of $1.5 million of total cash reserved and distributed to Series B units of Antero IDR Holdings LLC. General and administrative expenses were $2.4 million, including $1.8 million of special committee and legal advisory fees. The provision and reserve for income taxes was $8 million, resulting in cash available for distribution of $23 million. The 294% increase in cash available for distribution from the second quarter of 2017 is driven by an increase in cash distributions from Antero Midstream.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Definitions

Antero Midstream uses Adjusted EBITDA as an important indicator of the Partnership's performance.  Antero Midstream defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, impairment expense, gain on sale of assets, depreciation expense, accretion, equity-based compensation expense, excluding equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates and including cash distributions from unconsolidated affiliates.

Antero Midstream uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess:

  • the financial performance of the Partnership'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 partnerships in the midstream energy sector, without regard to financing or capital structure; and
  • the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects.

The Partnership defines Distributable Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less interest paid, income tax withholding payments and cash reserved for payments of income tax withholding upon vesting of equity-based compensation awards, cash reserved for bond interest and ongoing maintenance capital expenditures paid. Antero Midstream uses Distributable Cash Flow as a performance metric to compare the cash generating performance of the Partnership from period to period and to compare the cash generating performance for specific periods to the cash distributions (if any) that are expected to be paid to unitholders.  Distributable Cash Flow does not reflect changes in working capital balances.

Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures.  The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow is Net Income.  The non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered as alternatives to the GAAP measure of Net Income.  Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and have important limitations as an analytical tool because they include some, but not all, items that affect Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA.  You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.  Antero Midstream's definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other partnerships.

"Segment Adjusted EBITDA" is also used by our management team for various purposes, including as a measure of operating performance and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as operating income before equity-based compensation expense, interest expense, depreciation expense, gain on sale of assets, impairment expense, accretion, excluding equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, and including cash distributions from unconsolidated affiliates. Operating income is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Segment Adjusted EBITDA because we do not account for interest expense on a segment basis.

The Partnership defines consolidated net debt as consolidated total debt less cash and cash equivalents.  Antero Midstream views consolidated net debt as an important indicator in evaluating the Partnership's financial leverage.
