What's Driving AR's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown

AI-extracted from ANTERO RESOURCES 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.

Antero Resources reported Q1 2026 revenue of $1.95B (+44% YoY), driven by $2.8B HG Acquisition closing Feb 3 and 39% higher natural gas prices, offsetting 10% lower NGL prices.

Biggest Revenue Drivers

Total revenue: $1,945M+44% YoY

Natural gas sales$1,311M+68% YoY

HG Acquisition contributed $178M; higher commodity prices (+$367M) and higher production volumes (+$164M) offset partially by derivative impacts.

Natural gas liquids sales$504M-10% YoY

HG Acquisition contributed $16M; lower commodity prices (-$79M) offset by higher C3+ production volumes (+$22M).

Marketing revenue$42M+63% YoY

Oil marketing revenues increased $14M on higher volumes and prices; ethane and NGLs marketing revenues increased $2M.

Largest Expense Items

Gathering, compression, processing and transportation$789M+$94M YoY

HG Acquisition contributed $39M; higher production volumes; annual CPI-based adjustments and higher fuel costs partially offset by lower processing costs.

Depletion, depreciation and amortization$206M+$20M YoY

Higher production volumes from HG Acquisition properties; per-unit basis flat at $0.60 Mcfe.

Production and ad valorem taxes$81M+$26M YoY

Higher severance taxes from increased natural gas prices; as % of natural gas revenue remained consistent at 6%.

Marketing expense$63M+$20M YoY

Cost of third-party oil purchases increased $11M; firm transportation costs increased $9M due to lower pipeline utilization and force majeure.

Watch Items from the Filing

  • HG Acquisition integration risk: $2.8B acquisition closed Feb 3, 2026, contributing only ~$246M revenue in Q1 (7 weeks). Purchase price allocation incomplete; fair value measurements rely on Level 3 inputs (commodity prices, reserves, discount rate 9.0%) subject to material revision within 12 months.
  • Liquidity constraint post-HG: long-term debt increased to $2.7B (+90% QoQ). Term Loan $1.3B due Feb 2029 at 5.3% floating rate; Credit Facility only $73M outstanding vs. $1.6B capacity available. Leverage at 65% covenant threshold.
  • Commodity price volatility: natural gas realized prices $4.86/Mcf (hedged) vs. $5.57 (unhedged); C3+ NGLs down 17% YoY. Only 42% of Q1 production hedged; significant downside exposure if prices fall. Derivative asset fair value $202M—mark-to-market volatility.
  • Royalty litigation exposure: West Virginia Supreme Court June 2025 decision broadened scope of products subject to royalties and limited post-production cost deductions. Company estimates reasonably possible losses of up to $400M on other leases beyond immaterial Romeo accrual; timing and outcome uncertain.
  • EPA settlement cost: $3.8M penalty and remediation obligations agreed Feb 2026 for Clean Air Act violations at combustion devices; immaterial to financials but signals regulatory scrutiny of operations.
