What's Driving AM's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown
AI-extracted from Antero Midstream Corp's 10-Q filed 2026-04-29 — Q1 2026 (quarter ended March 31, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.
Q1 revenue rose 8% to $314.2M on HG Acquisition integration and 14% gathering volume growth, while net income declined slightly to $118.3M due to $9M HG transaction costs and higher interest expense.
Biggest Revenue Drivers
Total revenue: $314.2M+8% YoY
Increased gathering volumes from HG Acquisition and 72 newly connected wells; on-pad compression cost-plus fees from HG; annual CPI-based rate adjustments of 1.5%.
Other fluid handling services increased 61% in volume; fresh water delivery down 20% due to well completion timing; cost-plus 3% reimbursements from HG acreage.
Largest Expense Items
Increased gathering volumes and HG Acquisition integration; wastewater trucking, disposal and blending costs from water handling.
Incremental depreciation from HG gathering and water pipelines acquired in Q1 2026, partially offset by Utica Shale divestiture.
Issuance of 2033 and 2034 senior notes in late 2025 partially offset by 2027 notes redemption and lower Credit Facility borrowings.
Costs charged by Antero Resources for payroll, legal, accounting and facilities unchanged at approximately $9M.
Margins: Operating margin expanded to 60% (operating income $188.6M / revenue $314.2M) from 61% in Q1 2025, driven by high fixed-fee contract structure and operating leverage. Water handling segment turned slightly negative (-$0.3M operating loss) due to $9M HG transaction costs and timing of fresh water volumes.
Watch Items from the Filing
- HG Acquisition integration: $1.1B acquisition closed Feb 3, 2026; company still completing purchase price allocation within 12-month period; intends to modify water and compression service agreements with Antero Resources.
- Credit Facility leverage: $442.4M drawn (35% of $1.25B commitment) as of March 31, 2026; company elected financial covenant option allowing 5.25x total leverage ratio; in compliance with all covenants.
- Veolia litigation resolved favorably: Colorado Supreme Court oral arguments scheduled May 12, 2026 on petitioner's appeal of $280M+ judgment in AM's favor; District Court awarded $19M in attorneys' fees (Dec 2024).

AI Insight: AM Financial Trends
Revenue hit a record $314M in Q1 2026, but debt surged $443M sequentially to $3,666M — the sharpest single-quarter leverage increase in the dataset.
• Revenue grew steadily from $270M in Q2 2024 to $314M in Q1 2026, a 16% cumulative increase over seven quarters.
• Operating income rebounded to $189M in Q1 2026 after an anomalous drop to $101M in Q4 2025, suggesting Q4 2025 included a one-time charge.
• Total debt declined from $3,187M in Q2 2024 to $3,009M in Q3 2025, then reversed sharply to $3,666M in Q1 2026.
• Equity eroded from $2,127M in Q2 2024 to $1,936M in Q1 2026, a $191M decline across eight quarters.
⚠ Debt jumped $443M in a single quarter (Q4 2025 to Q1 2026) — largest spike in the dataset; source and purpose warrant close scrutiny.
⚠ Operating income fell to $101M in Q4 2025 vs. $180M–$189M in adjacent quarters; clarity on the driver is needed.
⚠ Operating CF remains healthy at $239M in Q1 2026, providing some offset to rising leverage if sustained.
AI Insight: AM Ratio Trends
Q4 2025 operating margin collapsed to 33.8% — likely a one-time charge — before snapping back to 60.0% in Q1 2026, but rising D/E to 1.89 warrants scrutiny.
• Operating margin expanded steadily from 56.6% in Q2 2024 to 61.2% in Q3 2025, a ~4.6pp improvement over five quarters.
• ROIC climbed from 11.5% in Q2 2024 to a peak of 14.6% in Q2 2025, signaling improving capital efficiency.
• Q4 2025 saw a sharp anomalous drop: operating margin fell to 33.8% and ROIC collapsed to 7.7%, both recovering in Q1 2026.
• D/E ratio declined from 1.50 in Q2 2024 to 1.45 in Q2 2025, then reversed, rising to 1.89 by Q1 2026.
⚠ D/E jumped from 1.45 in Q2 2025 to 1.89 in Q1 2026 — a 44bp deterioration in two quarters. Monitor debt drivers closely.
⚠ Q4 2025 margin/ROIC plunge appears one-off, but the nature of the charge has not been clarified in this data.
⚠ ROIC at 13.5% in Q1 2026 remains below the Q2 2025 peak of 14.6% — watch whether the uptrend resumes.
