| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $5.0B | +21.7% | -28.2% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $634.4M | +1008.6% | -47.9% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +22.1% | +178.1% | -48.1% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +16.5% | +1198.5% | -56.6% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +12.7% | +810.7% | -27.5% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $1.2B | +66.3% | -109.5% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | +24.8% | +36.6% | -113.2% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 68.0% | +18.4% | -5.8% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 0.55x | +57.6% | +0.2% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $14.3B | +9.8% | -0.8% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | 2.03 vs 1.81 | +12.1% | 0.90 vs 0.97 | -7.5% |

Operator: Greetings, and welcome to the Antero Resources Corporation First Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call and Webcast. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. [Operator Instructions] It's now my pleasure to turn the call over to Dan Katzenberg, Vice President, Investor Relations. Please go ahead. Daniel Katzenberg: Thank you for joining us for Antero's First Quarter 2026 Investor Conference Call. We'll spend a few minutes going through the financial and operating highlights, and then we'll open it up for Q&A. . I would also like to direct you to the homepage of our website at anteroresources.com where we have provided a separate earnings call presentation that will be reviewed during today's call. Today's call may contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to our earnings press release for important disclosures regarding such measures. Joining me on the call today are Michael Kennedy, CEO and President; Brendan Krueger, CFO; Dave Cannelongo, Senior Vice President of Liquids Marketing and Transportation; and Justin Fowler, Senior Vice President of Natural Gas Marketing. I will now turn the call over to Mike. Michael Kennedy: Thank you, Dan, and good morning, everyone. I'd like to start my comments by praising our operations team for their success during Winter Storm Fern. Their ability to achieve 100% uptime on our operations throughout the storm is an impressive achievement. . As highlighted on Slide #3, our team's efforts and strong pricing helped us deliver one of the best quarterly results in company history. Also, as highlighted on the slide, we closed on the HG acquisition in the Ohio Utica Shale divestiture. The HG acquisition added substantial production cash flow in nearly 400,000 net acres and 400 drilling locations to our core West Virginia Marcellus position. Importantly, the acquisition will drive corporate cash costs down $0.30 per Mcfe, which lowers our breakeven costs and drives margin enhancement. Turning to the integration of HG, we are significantly ahead of schedule. We recently turned in line our first HG pad. The 6-well pad located in the liquids-rich area has 110,000 total lateral feet or average lateral lengths over 18,000 feet per well. Notably, this pad has one of the highest net royalty interest at 89%, further enhancing its rate of return. We expect the pad to produce 150 million per day and remain flat at these levels for quite some time. On the acquired assets, we have already achieved operating synergies of $15 million to $20 million and are now forecasting over $80 million for the full year, outpacing our initial target of $50 million. Once we closed on the acquisition and took control of operations, we found incremental cost-saving opportunities, which include drilling and completion design changes, water handling, optimization and benefits from our economies of scale that are driving faster than forecasted synergies. Our first quarter production was a record …
