Antero Midstream Announces First Quarter 2022 Financial and Operational Results

 

Denver, Colorado, April 27, 2022—Antero Midstream Corporation (NYSE: AM) (“Antero Midstream” or the “Company”) today announced its first quarter 2022 financial and operational results. The relevant unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are included in Antero Midstream’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

 

First Quarter 2022 Earnings Highlights:

·Net Income was $80 million, or $0.17 per share, in line with the prior year quarter
·Adjusted Net Income was $93 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to $101 million, or $0.21 per share in the prior year quarter (non-GAAP measure)
·Adjusted EBITDA was $209 million (non-GAAP measure)
·Capital expenditures were $95 million
·Net cash provided by operating activities was $185 million
·Free Cash Flow before dividends was $70 million (non-GAAP measure)
·Total debt and Net Debt at quarter end were $3.1 billion and Net Debt to last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA was 3.6x (non-GAAP measure)
·Low pressure gathering volumes increased by 3% compared to the prior year quarter

  

Paul Rady, Chairman and CEO said, “Antero Midstream executed its organic growth plan during the quarter, resulting in year-over-year volume growth in gathering and processing. Looking ahead, we are well positioned as the critical first mile infrastructure linking low-cost natural gas supply to increasing global LNG demand. Our continued focus on organic investments in critical infrastructure provides a highly visible, de-risked growth outlook.”

 

Mr. Rady added, “Importantly, Antero Midstream has taken significant steps to minimize the impacts of inflation on the budget and guidance. This includes inflation-protected fees with high EBITDA margins, pre-buying steel for pipelines and securing firm bids for major projects. These efforts result in an unchanged 2022 capital budget of $275 to $300 million. Antero Midstream’s short lead-time capital investments, combined with visibility into the Antero Resources development plan, allow us to generate attractive, de-risked return on invested capital.”

First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

 

Low pressure gathering volumes for the first quarter of 2022 averaged 2,930 MMcf/d, a 3% increase as compared to the prior year quarter. Low pressure gathering volumes were in excess of the growth incentive fee threshold of 2,900 MMcf/d, resulting in a $12 million rebate to Antero Resources. Compression volumes for the first quarter of 2022 averaged 2,816 MMcf/d, a 4% increase compared to the prior year quarter. High pressure gathering volumes averaged 2,878 MMcf/d, a 2% increase compared to the first quarter of 2021. Fresh water delivery volumes averaged 87 MBbl/d during the quarter, a 16% decrease compared to the first quarter of 2021.

 

Gross processing volumes from the processing and fractionation joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) averaged 1,514 MMcf/d for the first quarter of 2022, a 6% increase compared to the prior year quarter. Joint Venture processing capacity was 95% utilized during the quarter based on nameplate processing capacity of 1.6 Bcf/d. Gross Joint Venture fractionation volumes averaged 34 MBbl/d, an 11% decrease compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in fractionation volumes was attributable to lower third party production volumes in the basin. Joint Venture fractionation capacity was 85% utilized during the quarter based on nameplate fractionation capacity of 40 MBbl/d.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, revenues were $218 million comprised of $173 million from the Gathering and Processing segment and $45 million from the Water Handling segment, net of $18 million of amortization of customer relationships. Water Handling revenues include $22 million from wastewater handling and high rate water transfer services.

 

Direct operating expenses for the Gathering and Processing and Water Handling segments were $17 million and $25 million, respectively, for a total of $42 million, compared to $39 million in total direct operating expenses in the prior year quarter. The increase in direct operating expenses was driven by resuming fresh water deliveries in the Utica for Antero Resources’ development program during the first quarter of 2022. Water Handling operating expenses include $19 million from wastewater handling and high rate water transfer services. General and administrative expenses excluding equity-based compensation were $15 million during the first quarter of 2022. Total operating expenses during the first quarter of 2022 included $3 million of equity-based compensation expense and $28 million of depreciation.

 

Net Income was $80 million, or $0.17 per share. Net Income adjusted for amortization of customer relationships, impairment expense, loss (gain) on asset sale, net of tax effects of reconciling items, or Adjusted Net Income, was $93 million. Adjusted Net Income per share was $0.19 per share, a 10% decrease compared to the prior year quarter.

Free Cash Flow before dividends was $70 million, a 52% decrease compared to the prior year quarter driven primarily by higher growth capital expenditures during the quarter. Free Cash Flow after dividends was a $38 million deficit compared to $39 million in the prior year quarter.

First Quarter 2022 Operating Update

 

Gathering and Processing During the first quarter of 2022, Antero Midstream connected 17 wells to its gathering system. The Company continued construction on the Castle Peak compressor station in the liquids-rich Marcellus shale, which is expected to be placed in service late the second quarter of 2022. The Castle Peak station will have an initial capacity of 160 MMcf/d and will be expanded to 240 MMcf/d in 2023. In addition, Antero Midstream continued construction on the Wetzel County high pressure pipeline that will be placed online in the fourth quarter of 2022. These additional infrastructure projects will support the expected throughput growth in the second half of 2022.

 

Water HandlingAntero Midstream’s water delivery systems serviced 21 well completions during the first quarter of 2022. The 21 wells serviced during the first quarter included completion operations on a 7 well pad late during the quarter that will result in a portion of those volumes included in the second quarter of 2022.

Capital Investments

 

Total accrued capital expenditures were $95 million during the first quarter of 2022. Of the $95 million invested in gathering, compression, and water infrastructure, $78 million was in gathering and compression assets and $17 million was in water handling assets. There were no investments in the Joint Venture during the quarter.

 

Brendan Krueger, CFO of Antero Midstream, said “As a result of the upfront investment in growth capital expenditures occurring in the first half of 2022, we are quickly approaching an inflection point for Antero Midstream in the second half of 2022. Capital expenditures will decline, volumes will continue to increase and we expect to transition to generating Free Cash Flow after dividends for the foreseeable future. This will allow us to reduce absolute debt and leverage towards our target of 3.0x or less.”

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 and impairment expense, excluding gain and loss on asset sale and loss on early extinguishment of debt, 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, income tax expense, amortization of customer relationships, depreciation expense, impairment expense, loss (gain) on asset sale, accretion of asset retirement obligations, and equity-based compensation expense, and loss on early extinguishment of debt, 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 and accrual-based capital expenditures. 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.

 

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. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Net Debt is total debt, excluding unamortized debt premiums and debt issuance costs.
