Antero Midstream Announces First Quarter 2021 Financial and Operational Results

 

Denver, Colorado, April 28, 2021—Antero Midstream Corporation (NYSE: AM) (“Antero Midstream” or the “Company”) today announced its first quarter 2021 financial and operational results. The relevant consolidated financial statements are included in Antero Midstream’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

 

First Quarter 2021 Earnings Highlights:

 

·Net income was $83 million, or $0.17 per share, compared to an $0.81 per share net loss in the prior year quarter
·Adjusted Net Income was $101 million, or $0.21 per share, compared to $0.23 per share in the prior year quarter (non-GAAP measure)
·Adjusted EBITDA was $219 million, a 1% increase compared to the prior year quarter (non-GAAP measure)
·Capital expenditures were $30 million, a 64% decrease compared to the prior year quarter
·Net cash provided by operating activities was $166 million, a 13% increase compared to the prior year quarter
·Free Cash Flow before dividends was $146 million, a 51% increase compared to the prior year quarter (non-GAAP measure)
·Free Cash Flow after dividends was $39 million, compared to a $50 million deficit in the prior year quarter (non-GAAP measure)
·Net Debt at quarter end was $3.1 billion and Net Debt to last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA was 3.7x, both consistent with December 31, 2020 (non-GAAP measure)

 

Paul Rady, Chairman and CEO said, “Antero Midstream delivered another strong operational quarter focused on cost reductions and capital discipline. This allowed us to generate $146 million of Free Cash Flow before dividends and for the second time in company history, generate Free Cash Flow after dividends. We believe this capital discipline and the ability to internally finance both our capital budget and return of capital to shareholders will serve Antero Midstream well going forward.”

 

Mr. Rady further added, “Antero Midstream’s primary customer, Antero Resources, made significant strides in improving its financial strength, generating over $400 million of Free Cash Flow during the first quarter. As a result of Antero Resources’ Free Cash Flow profile, Antero Resources’ leverage has significantly improved to 2.0x as of March 31, 2021. This improvement in financial strength at Antero Resources directly benefits Antero Midstream.”

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, revenues were $224 million, comprised of $185 million from the Gathering and Processing segment and $57 million from the Water Handling segment, net of $18 million of amortization of customer relationships. Water Handling revenues included $19 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 $22 million, respectively, for a total of $39 million, compared to $49 million in total direct operating expenses in the prior year quarter. Water Handling operating expenses included $18 million from wastewater handling and high rate water transfer services. The decrease in direct operating expenses was driven primarily by lower costs associated with flowback and produced water due to Antero Midstream’s blending operations. General and administrative expenses excluding equity-based compensation were $14 million during the first quarter of 2021. Total operating expenses during the first quarter of 2021 included $4 million of equity compensation expense, a $1 million impairment, a $4 million loss on asset sale and $27 million of depreciation.

 

Net income was $83 million, or $0.17 per share. Net income adjusted for amortization of customer relationships, impairment expense and loss on asset sale, or Adjusted Net Income, was $101 million. Adjusted Net Income per share was $0.21 per share, a 9% decrease compared to the prior year quarter.

(1)Statutory tax rate was approximately 24.7% for 2020 and 24.9% for 2021. Includes effective tax rate impact from net operating loss carryforward under CARES Act.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $219 million, a 1% increase compared to the prior year quarter. Interest expense was $43 million, a 14% increase compared to the prior year quarter, driven by the issuance of the senior notes due 2026 that displaced lower cost borrowings on Antero Midstream’s credit facility. Capital expenditures were $30 million, a 64% decrease compared to the prior year quarter. Free Cash Flow before dividends was $146 million, a 51% increase compared to the prior year quarter and Free Cash Flow after dividends was $39 million compared to a deficit of $50 million in the prior year quarter.

First Quarter 2021 Operating Update

 

Gathering and Processing During the first quarter of 2021, Antero Midstream connected 14 wells to its gathering system. The Company’s 3.2 Bcf/d of compression capacity was approximately 85% utilized during the quarter. Joint Venture processing capacity of 1.4 Bcf/d was approximately 100% utilized during the quarter and Joint Venture fractionation capacity was 95% utilized during the quarter.

 

Water HandlingAntero Midstream’s Marcellus water delivery systems serviced 24 well completions during the first quarter of 2021, a 44% decrease from the prior year quarter, driven by a reduction in completion activity by Antero Resources as it transitioned to a maintenance capital development program.

 

 

 

 

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

 

As of March 31, 2021, Antero Midstream had approximately $625 million drawn on its $2.13 billion bank credit facility, resulting in approximately $1.5 billion of liquidity. Antero Midstream’s Net Debt to trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA (“Leverage”) was 3.7x as of March 31, 2021.

 

Capital Investments

 

Total accrued capital expenditures including investments in the Joint Venture were $30 million during the first quarter of 2021. Gathering, compression, and water infrastructure capital investments totaled $29 million and investments in unconsolidated affiliates for the Joint Venture were $1 million. Of the $29 million invested in gathering, compression, and water infrastructure, $18 million was in gathering and compression assets and $11 million was in water handling assets.

 

Michael Kennedy, CFO of Antero Midstream, said, “The first quarter of 2021 marked the low point in forecasted capital expenditures for 2021 as we begin construction on the infrastructure supporting the drilling partnership that is expected to generate future throughput growth on Antero Midstream dedicated acreage. As a result, we expect to invest approximately two-thirds of our $240 million to $260 million capital budget in the second and third quarter of 2021 combined, which results in an increase in quarterly capital expenditures compared to the first quarter of 2021. Importantly, during this period of increased capital expenditures we expect our leverage and net debt to remain stable at 3.7x and $3.1 billion, respectively.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Definitions

 

Antero Midstream uses certain non-GAAP financial measures. Antero Midstream defines Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) plus amortization of customer contracts, impairment expense, and loss 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 (loss) plus interest expense, provision for income tax expense (benefit), amortization of customer relationships, depreciation expense, impairment expense, accretion, equity-based compensation expense, excluding equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, plus cash distributions from unconsolidated affiliates and loss on asset sale.

 

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 accrued capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow after dividends is defined as Free Cash Flow before dividends less 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 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income is Net Income. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow before and after dividends is cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities. 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 less cash and cash equivalents. Antero Midstream views Net Debt as an important indicator in evaluating Antero Midstream’s financial leverage.

 

This release also includes certain non-GAAP financial information for Antero Resources. For a more information regarding those measures, please see Antero Resources’ press release dated today, a copy of which can be found on Antero Resources website, www.anteroresources.com. For additional information on the drilling partnership please see Antero Resources’ press release and Annual Report on Form 10-K, which can also be found at www.anteroresources.com.

 

The Company’s ability to pay future dividends is substantially dependent upon the development and drilling plan of Antero Resources, which itself is substantially dependent upon the review and approval by the Board of Directors of Antero Resources of its capital budget on an annual basis.  The Board of Directors of Antero Midstream will take into consideration many factors, including the capital budget of Antero Resources adopted by its Board of Directors and the capital resources and liquidity of Antero Midstream at the time, prior to approving future dividends.
