In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023, results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023. The Company has no items of other comprehensive income or loss; therefore, its net income or loss is equal to its comprehensive income or loss. Operating results for the period ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year because of the impact of fluctuations in prices received for natural gas, NGLs and oil, natural production declines, the uncertainty of exploration and development drilling results, fluctuations in the fair value of derivative instruments and other factors. (b) Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Antero Resources Corporation, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its variable interest entity (“VIE”), Martica Holdings LLC, (“Martica”), for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. (c) Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. From time to time, the Company may be in the position of a “book overdraft” in which outstanding checks exceed cash and cash equivalents. The Company classifies book overdrafts in accounts payable and revenue distributions payable within its condensed consolidated balance sheets, and classifies the change in accounts payable associated with book overdrafts as an operating activity within its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As of December 31, 2022, the book overdrafts included within accounts payable and revenue distributions payable were million, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, the book overdrafts included within accounts payable and revenue distributions payable were (d) Income (Loss) Per Common Share Income (loss) per common share—basic for each period is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Antero by the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Income (loss) per common share—diluted for each period is computed after giving consideration to the potential dilution from (i) outstanding equity awards using the treasury stock method and (ii) shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2026 Convertible Notes (as defined below in Note 7—Long-Term Debt) using the if-converted method. The Company includes restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards, performance share unit (“PSU”) awards and stock options in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding based on the number of common shares that would be issuable if the end of the period was also the end of the performance period required for the vesting of the awards. During periods in which the Company incurs a net loss, diluted weighted average shares outstanding are equal to basic weighted average shares outstanding because the effects of all equity awards and the 2026 Convertible Notes are anti-dilutive. ​ The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for basic and diluted income (loss) per share (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended September 30, ​ Nine Months Ended September 30, ​ ​ 2022 2023 2022 2023 Net income attributable to Antero Resources Corporation—common shareholders ​ $ 559,759 ​ ​ 17,808 ​ ​ 1,168,475 ​ ​ 148,155 ​ Add: Interest expense for 2026 Convertible Notes ​ ​ 830 ​ ​ 470 ​ ​ 2,764 ​ ​ 1,555 ​ Less: Tax-effect of interest expense for 2026 Convertible Notes ​ ​ (193) ​ ​ (101) ​ ​ (642) ​ ​ (334) ​ Net income attributable to Antero Resources Corporation—common shareholders and assumed conversions ​ $ 560,396 ​ ​ 18,177 ​ ​ 1,170,597 ​ ​ 149,376 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Income per share—basic ​ $ 1.83 ​ ​ 0.06 ​ ​ 3.77 ​ ​ 0.50 ​ Income per share—diluted ​ $ 1.72 ​ ​ 0.06 ​ ​ 3.51 ​ ​ 0.48 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted average common shares outstanding—basic ​ ​ 305,343 ​ ​ 300,141 ​ ​ 309,954 ​ ​ 298,461 ​ Weighted average common shares outstanding—diluted ​ ​ 325,997 ​ ​ 311,534 ​ ​ 333,738 ​ ​ 310,958 ​ ​ The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s basic weighted average shares outstanding to diluted weighted average shares outstanding during the periods presented (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended September 30, ​ Nine Months Ended September 30, ​ ​ 2022 2023 2022 2023 ​ Basic weighted average number of shares outstanding ​ 305,343 ​ 300,141 ​ 309,954 ​ 298,461 ​ Add: Dilutive effect of RSUs ​ 3,041 ​ 1,213 ​ 3,444 ​ 1,419 ​ Add: Dilutive effect of PSUs ​ 1,486 ​ 1,105 ​ 2,462 ​ 1,080 ​ Add: Dilutive effect of 2026 Convertible Notes ​ 16,127 ​ 9,075 ​ 17,878 ​ 9,998 ​ Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding ​ 325,997 ​ 311,534 ​ 333,738 ​ 310,958 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted average number of outstanding securities excluded from calculation of diluted income (loss) per common share (1) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ RSUs ​ — ​ 1,128 ​ — ​ 1,267 ​ PSUs ​ — ​ 100 ​ — ​ 199 ​ Stock options ​ 349 ​ 323 ​ 350 ​ 324 ​ (1) The potential dilutive effects of these awards were excluded from the computation of income (loss) per common share—diluted because the inclusion of these awards would have been anti-dilutive. (e) Recently Issued Accounting Standard Convertible Debt Instruments In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity Debt with Conversion and Other Options , that require separate accounting for conversion features, and instead, allows the debt instrument and conversion features to be accounted for as a single debt instrument. It is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2021. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2022 Upon adoption of this new standard, the Company reclassified $24 million, net of deferred income taxes and equity issuance costs, from additional paid-in capital and increased long-term debt by $27 million, reduced deferred income tax liability by $6 million and reduced accumulated deficit by $3 million as of January 1, 2022.

Transactions	(3) Transactions (a) Conveyance of Overriding Royalty Interest On June 15, 2020, the Company announced the consummation of a transaction with an affiliate of Sixth Street Partners, LLC (“Sixth Street”) relating to certain overriding royalty interests across the Company’s existing asset base (the “ORRIs”). The ORRIs include an overriding royalty interest of 1.25% in all of the Company’s operated proved developed properties in West Virginia and Ohio, subject to certain excluded wells (the “Initial PDP Override”) as of April 1, 2020, and an overriding royalty interest of 3.75% in all of the Company’s undeveloped properties in West Virginia and Ohio (the “Development Override”) as of April 1, 2020. Wells turned to sales after April 1, 2020 and prior to the later of (a) the date on which the Company turns to sales 2.2 million lateral feet (net to the Company’s interest) of horizontal wells burdened by the Development Override and (b) the earlier of (i) April 1, 2023 and (ii) the date on which the Company turns to sales 3.82 million lateral feet (net to the Company’s interest) of horizontal wells burdened by the Development Override, are subject to the Development Override. As of April 1, 2023, the Company had turned to sales over 2.2 million lateral feet and less than 3.82 million lateral feet. As a result, wells turned to sales on or after April 1, 2023 will not be subject to the ORRIs. The ORRIs also include an additional overriding royalty interest of 2.00% of the Company’s working interest in the properties underlying the Initial PDP Override (the “Incremental Override”). The Incremental Override (or a portion thereof, as applicable) may be re-conveyed to the Company (at the Company’s election) if certain production targets attributable to the ORRIs are achieved through March 31, 2023. Any portion of the Incremental Override that may not be re-conveyed to the Company based on the Company failing to achieve such production volumes through March 31, 2023 will remain with Martica. As of March 31, 2023, the portion of the Incremental Override that may be re-conveyed to the Company as a result of achieving certain production targets was 76% and the portion that will remain with Martica was 24% . Prior to Sixth Street achieving an internal rate of return of 13% and 1.5 x cash-on-cash return (the “Hurdle”), Sixth Street will receive all distributions in respect of the Initial PDP Override and the Development Override, and 24% of all distributions in respect of the Incremental Override, and the Company will receive 76% of all distributions in respect of the Incremental Override. Following Sixth Street achieving the Hurdle, the Company will receive 85% of the distributions in respect of the ORRIs to which Sixth Street was entitled immediately prior to the Hurdle being achieved. (b) Drilling Partnership On February 17, 2021, Antero Resources announced the formation of a drilling partnership with QL Capital Partners (“QL”), an affiliate of Quantum Energy Partners, for the Company’s 2021 through 2024 drilling program. Under the terms of the arrangement, each year in which QL participates represents an annual tranche, and QL will be conveyed a working interest in any wells spud by Antero Resources during such tranche year. For 2021, 2022 and 2023, Antero Resources and QL agreed to the estimated internal rate of return (“IRR”) of the Company’s capital budget for each annual tranche, and QL agreed to participate in the 2021, 2022, and 2023 tranches. For 2024, Antero Resources will propose a capital budget and estimated IRR for all wells to be spud during such year and, subject to the mutual agreement of the parties that the estimated IRR for the year exceeds a specified return, QL will be obligated to participate in such tranche. Antero Resources develops and manages the drilling program associated with each tranche, including the selection of wells. Additionally, for each annual tranche in which QL participates, Antero Resources and QL will enter into assignments, bills of sale and conveyances pursuant to which QL will be conveyed a proportionate working interest percentage in each well spud in that year, which conveyances will not be subject to any reversion. Under the terms of the arrangement, QL funded 20% and 15% of development capital for wells spud in 2021 and 2022, respectively, and will fund development capital of (i) 15% for wells spud in 2023 and (ii) if they participate in 2024, between 15% and 20% for wells spud in 2024, which funding amounts represent QL’s proportionate working interest in such wells. Additionally, Antero Resources may receive a carry in the form of a one-time payment from QL for each annual tranche if the IRR for such tranche exceeds certain specified returns, which will be determined no earlier than October 31 and no later than December 1 following the end of each tranche year. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company received a carry of million attributable to the 2021 tranche. All of the wells spud during each calendar year period will be a separate annual tranche. Capital costs in excess of, and cost savings below, a specified percentage of budgeted amounts for each annual tranche will be for Antero Resources’ account. Subject to the preceding sentence, for any wells included in a tranche, QL is obligated and responsible for its working interest share of costs and liabilities, and is entitled to its working interest share of revenues, associated with such wells for the life of such wells. The Company has accounted for the drilling partnership as a conveyance under ASC 932, Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas ​

The 2026 Convertible Notes have met the Stock Price Condition allowing holders of the 2026 Convertible Notes to exercise their conversion right as of September 30, 2023. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2026 Convertible Notes. In addition, following certain corporate events, as described in the indenture governing the 2026 Convertible Notes, that occur prior to the maturity date, Antero Resources will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 2026 Convertible Notes in connection with such a corporate event. If certain corporate events that constitute a Fundamental Change occur, then noteholders may require Antero Resources to repurchase their 2026 Convertible Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving Antero Resources and certain de-listing events with respect to Antero Resources’ common stock. Upon issuance, the Company separately accounted for the liability and equity components of the 2026 Convertible Notes. The liability component was recorded at the estimated fair value of a similar debt instrument without the conversion feature. The difference between the principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes and the estimated fair value of the liability component was recorded as a debt discount and was amortized to interest expense, together with debt issuance costs, over the term of the 2026 Convertible Notes using the effective interest method, with an effective interest rate of 15.1% per annum. As of the issuance date, the fair value of the 2026 Convertible Notes was estimated at $172 million, resulting in a debt discount at inception of $116 million. The equity component, representing the value of the conversion option, was computed by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the initial proceeds of the 2026 Convertible Notes issuance. This equity component was recorded, net of deferred taxes and issuance costs, in additional paid-in capital within the condensed consolidated balance sheet and statement of stockholders’ equity. Transaction costs related to the 2026 Convertible Notes issuance were allocated to the liability and equity components based on their relative fair values. Issuance costs attributable to the liability component were recorded within debt issuance costs on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and were amortized over the term of the 2026 Convertible Notes using the effective interest method. Issuance costs attributable to the equity component were recorded as a charge to additional paid-in capital within the condensed consolidated balance sheet and statement of stockholders’ equity. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 whereby the Company reclassified the equity component of the 2026 Convertible Notes outstanding on such date, net of deferred income taxes and equity issuance costs, from additional paid-in capital to long-term debt. See Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Conversions and Inducements During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, $9 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes were converted pursuant to their terms, and an additional $9 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes were induced into conversion by the Company. The Company elected to settle these conversions by issuing million. There were conversions of the 2026 Convertible Notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The 2026 Convertible Notes consist of the following (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (Unaudited) ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ September 30, ​ ​ ​ 2022 ​ 2023 ​ Principal ​ $ 56,932 ​ ​ 39,418 ​ Less: unamortized debt issuance costs ​ ​ (1,159) ​ ​ (651) ​ Net carrying value ​ $ 55,773 ​ ​ 38,767 ​ ​ Interest expense recognized on the 2026 Convertible Notes related to the stated interest rate and debt issuance costs totaled $1 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively, and $3 million and $2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively. (g) Debt Repurchase Program During the first quarter of 2022, the Company redeemed the remaining $585 million aggregate principal amount of its 2025 Notes at a redemption price of 101.25% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and recognized a loss on early debt extinguishment of $11 million. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased million. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased, through its previously disclosed tender offer and open market transactions, (i) of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized a loss on early debt extinguishment from these repurchases of million, respectively. There were

Equity-Based Compensation and Cash Awards
Equity-Based Compensation and Cash Awards	(9) Equity-Based Compensation and Cash Awards On June 17, 2020, Antero Resources’ stockholders approved the Antero Resources Corporation 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which replaced the Antero Resources Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), and the 2020 Plan became effective as of such date. The 2020 Plan provides for grants of stock options (including incentive stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, RSU awards, vested stock awards, dividend equivalent awards and other stock-based and cash awards. The terms and conditions of the awards granted are established by the Compensation Committee of Antero Resources’ Board of Directors. Employees, officers, non-employee directors and other service providers of the Company and its affiliates are eligible to receive awards under the 2020 Plan. No further awards will be granted under the 2013 Plan on or after June 17, 2020. The 2020 Plan provides for the reservation of 10,050,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, plus the number of certain shares that become available again for delivery from the 2013 Plan in accordance with the share recycling provisions described below. The share recycling provisions allow for all or any portion of an award (including an award granted under the 2013 Plan that was outstanding as of June 17, 2020) that expires or is cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, settled for cash or otherwise terminated without actual delivery of the shares to be considered not delivered and thus, available for new awards under the 2020 Plan. Further, any shares withheld or surrendered in payment of any taxes relating to awards that were outstanding under either the 2013 Plan as of June 17, 2020 or are granted under the 2020 Plan (other than stock options and stock appreciation rights), will again be available for new awards under the 2020 Plan. A total of 6,896,996 shares were available for future grant under the 2020 Plan as of September 30, 2023. Antero Midstream Partners LP’s (“Antero Midstream Partners”) general partner was authorized to grant up to 10,000,000 common units representing limited partner interests in Antero Midstream Partners under the Antero Midstream Partners LP Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “AMP Plan”) to non-employee directors of its general partner and certain officers, employees and consultants of Antero Midstream Partners and its affiliates (which includes Antero Resources). Antero Resources deconsolidated Antero Midstream Partners on March 12, 2019 RSUs (all such RSUs, the “Converted AM RSU Awards”) under the Antero Midstream Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan (the “AM Plan”). Each RSU award under the AM Plan represented a right to receive one share of Antero Midstream common stock. As of September 30, 2023, all Converted AM RSU Awards were fully vested. The Company’s equity-based compensation expense, by type of award, is as follows (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended September 30, ​ Nine Months Ended September 30, ​ ​ 2022 ​ 2023 2022 ​ 2023 ​ RSU awards ​ $ 4,974 ​ ​ 8,286 ​ ​ 12,468 ​ ​ 24,268 ​ PSU awards ​ ​ 5,070 ​ ​ 9,796 ​ ​ 9,501 ​ ​ 19,643 ​ Converted AM RSU Awards (1) ​ ​ 8 ​ ​ — ​ ​ 203 ​ ​ 1 ​ Equity awards issued to directors ​ ​ 350 ​ ​ 376 ​ ​ 1,050 ​ ​ 1,076 ​ Total expense ​ $ 10,402 ​ ​ 18,458 ​ ​ 23,222 ​ ​ 44,988 ​ (1) Antero Resources recognized compensation expense for equity awards granted under both the 2013 Plan and the AMP Plan because the awards under the AMP Plan are accounted for as if they are distributed by Antero Midstream Partners to Antero Resources. Antero Resources allocates a portion of equity-based compensation expense related to grants prior to March 12, 2019 (date of deconsolidation) to Antero Midstream Partners based on its proportionate share of Antero Resources’ labor costs. As of September 30, 2023, all Converted AM RSU Awards were fully vested, and there is no remaining unamortized expense attributable to these awards.

That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of (b) Performance Share Unit Awards Performance Share Unit Awards Based on Total Shareholder Return In March 2023, the Company granted PSU awards to certain of its senior management and executive officers that vest based on Antero Resources’ absolute total shareholder return (“TSR”) determined as of the last day of each of three one-year performance periods ending on March 7, 2024, March 7, 2025 and March 7, 2026, and one cumulative three-year performance period ending on March 7, 2026, in each case, subject to certain continued employment criteria (“2023 Absolute TSR PSUs”). The number of shares of common stock that may ultimately be earned following the end of the cumulative three-year performance period with respect to the 2023 Absolute TSR PSUs ranges from zero to 200% of the target number of 2023 Absolute TSR PSUs originally granted. Expense related to these PSUs is recognized on a graded-vested basis over the term of each performance period. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur by reversing the expense previously recognized for awards that were forfeited during the period. The following table presents the assumptions used in the Monte Carlo valuation model and the grant date fair value information for the 2023 Absolute TSR PSUs: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Dividend yield ​ ​ — % Volatility ​ ​ 82 % Risk-free interest rate ​ ​ 4.61 % Weighted average fair value of awards granted—Absolute TSR ​ $ 33.96 ​ ​ Performance Share Unit Awards Based on Leverage Ratio In March 2023, the Company granted PSUs to certain of its senior management and executive officers that vest based on the Company’s total debt less cash and cash equivalents divided by the Company’s Adjusted EBITDAX (as defined in the award agreement) determined as of the last day of each of three one-year performance periods ending on December 31, 2023, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025, in each case, subject to certain continued employment criteria (“2023 Leverage Ratio PSUs”). The number of shares of common stock that may ultimately be earned following the end of the third performance period with respect to the 2023 Leverage Ratio PSUs ranges from zero to 200% of the target number of 2023 Leverage Ratio PSUs originally granted. Expense related to the 2023 Leverage Ratio PSUs is recognized on a graded-vested basis over the term of each performance period that reflects the number of shares of common stock that are expected to be issued at the end of each measurement period, and such expense is reversed if the likelihood of achieving the performance condition becomes improbable. As of September 30, 2023, the likelihood of achieving the performance conditions related to the 2023 Leverage Ratio PSUs was probable.

Derivative Instruments.
Derivative Instruments	(11) Derivative Instruments The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, and it may use derivative instruments to manage its commodity price risk. In addition, the Company periodically enters into contracts that contain embedded features that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivatives. (a) Commodity Derivative Positions The Company periodically enters into natural gas, NGLs and oil derivative contracts with counterparties to hedge the price risk associated with its production. These derivatives are not entered into for trading purposes. To the extent that changes occur in the market prices of natural gas, NGLs and oil, the Company is exposed to market risk on these open contracts. This market risk exposure is generally offset by the change in market prices of natural gas, NGLs and oil recognized upon the ultimate sale of the Company’s production. The Company was party to various fixed price commodity swap contracts that settled during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023. The Company enters into these swap contracts when management believes that favorable future sales prices for the Company’s production can be secured. Under these swap agreements, when actual commodity prices upon settlement exceed the fixed price provided by the swap contracts, the Company pays the difference to the counterparty. When actual commodity prices upon settlement are less than the contractually provided fixed price, the Company receives the difference from the counterparty. In addition, the Company has entered into basis swap contracts in order to hedge the difference between the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) index price and a local index price. Under these basis swap agreements, when actual commodity prices upon settlement exceed the fixed price provided by the swap contracts, the Company receives the difference from the counterparty. When actual commodity prices upon settlement are less than the contractually provided fixed price, the Company pays the difference to the counterparty. The Company’s derivative contracts have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes; therefore, all gains and losses are recognized in the Company’s statements of operations. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s fixed price swap positions excluding Martica, the Company’s consolidated VIE, were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Average ​ Commodity / Settlement Period Index Contracted Volume Price Natural Gas ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ October-December 2023 ​ Henry Hub ​ 43,000 MMBtu/day ​ $ 2.37 /MMBtu ​ ​ The Company has a call option and an embedded put option tied to NYMEX pricing for the production volumes associated with the Company’s retained interest in the volumetric production payment transaction (“VPP”) properties. The put option was embedded within another contract, and since the embedded put option was not clearly and closely related to its host contract, the Company bifurcated this derivative instrument and reflects it at fair value in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s call option and embedded put option arrangements were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Embedded ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Call Option ​ Put Option ​ Commodity / Settlement Period Index Contracted Volume Strike Price Strike Price Natural Gas ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ October-December 2023 ​ Henry Hub ​ 55,000 MMBtu/day ​ $ 2.466 /MMBtu ​ $ 2.466 /MMBtu ​ January-December 2024 ​ Henry Hub ​ 53,000 MMBtu/day ​ ​ 2.477 /MMBtu ​ ​ 2.527 /MMBtu ​ January-December 2025 ​ Henry Hub ​ 44,000 MMBtu/day ​ ​ 2.564 /MMBtu ​ ​ 2.614 /MMBtu ​ January-December 2026 ​ Henry Hub ​ 32,000 MMBtu/day ​ ​ 2.629 /MMBtu ​ ​ 2.679 /MMBtu ​ ​ ​ As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s natural gas basis swap positions, which settle on the pricing index to basis differential of the Columbia Gas Transmission pipeline (“TCO”) to the NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas price were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted Average ​ Commodity / Settlement Period ​ Index to Basis Differential Contracted Volume Hedged Differential ​ Natural Gas ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ October-December 2023 ​ NYMEX to TCO ​ 50,000 MMBtu/day ​ $ 0.525 /MMBtu ​ January-December 2024 ​ NYMEX to TCO ​ 50,000 MMBtu/day ​ ​ 0.530 /MMBtu ​ ​ As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s fixed price swap positions for Martica, the Company’s consolidated VIE, were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Average ​ Commodity / Settlement Period Index Contracted Volume Price ​ Natural Gas ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ October-December 2023 ​ Henry Hub ​ 31,366 MMBtu/day ​ $ 2.35 /MMBtu ​ January-December 2024 ​ Henry Hub ​ 23,885 MMBtu/day ​ ​ 2.33 /MMBtu ​ January-March 2025 ​ Henry Hub ​ 18,021 MMBtu/day ​ ​ 2.53 /MMBtu ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Natural Gasoline ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ October-December 2023 ​ Mont Belvieu Natural Gasoline-OPIS Non-TET ​ 217 Bbl/day ​ ​ 40.74 /Bbl ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Oil ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ October-December 2023 ​ West Texas Intermediate ​ 71 Bbl/day ​ ​ 44.66 /Bbl ​ January-December 2024 ​ West Texas Intermediate ​ 43 Bbl/day ​ ​ 44.02 /Bbl ​ January-March 2025 ​ West Texas Intermediate ​ 39 Bbl/day ​ ​ 45.06 /Bbl ​ ​ (b) Summary The table below presents a summary of the fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments and where such values are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (in thousands). ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (Unaudited) ​ ​ ​ Balance Sheet ​ December 31, ​ September 30, ​ ​ Location 2022 ​ 2023 ​ Asset derivatives not designated as hedges for accounting purposes: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Embedded derivatives—current ​ Derivative instruments ​ $ 1,900 ​ ​ 2,563 ​ Embedded derivatives—noncurrent ​ Derivative instruments ​ ​ 9,844 ​ ​ 6,627 ​ Total asset derivatives (1) ​ ​ ​ ​ 11,744 ​ ​ 9,190 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Liability derivatives not designated as hedges for accounting purposes: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Commodity derivatives—current (2) ​ Derivative instruments ​ ​ 97,765 ​ ​ 31,134 ​ Commodity derivatives—noncurrent (2) ​ Derivative instruments ​ ​ 345,280 ​ ​ 52,584 ​ Total liability derivatives (1) ​ ​ ​ ​ 443,045 ​ ​ 83,718 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net derivatives liability (1) ​ ​ ​ $ (431,301) ​ ​ (74,528) ​ (1) The fair value of derivative instruments was determined using Level 2 inputs.

Leases

Leases
Leases	(12) Leases The Company leases certain office space, processing plants, drilling rigs and completion services, gas gathering lines, compressor stations, and other office and field equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are considered short-term and are not recorded on the balance sheet. Instead, the short-term leases are recognized in expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease from one or more. The exercise of the lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. The depreciable lives of the leased assets are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. Certain of the Company’s lease agreements include minimum payments based on a percentage of produced volumes over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The Company considers all contracts that have assets specified in the contract, either explicitly or implicitly, that the Company has substantially all of the capacity of the asset, and has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of that asset, without the lessor’s ability to have a substantive right to substitute that asset, as leased assets. For any contract deemed to include a leased asset, that asset is capitalized on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability is recorded at the present value of the known future minimum payments of the contract using a discount rate on the date of commencement. The leased asset classification is determined at the date of recording as either operating or financing, depending upon certain criteria of the contract. The discount rate used for present value calculations is the discount rate implicit in the contract. If an implicit rate is not determinable, a collateralized incremental borrowing rate is used at the date of commencement. As new leases commence or previous leases are modified the discount rate used in the present value calculation is the current period applicable discount rate. The Company has made an accounting policy election to adopt the practical expedient for combining lease and non-lease components on an asset class basis. This expedient allows the Company to combine non-lease components such as real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and other operating expenses associated with the leased premises with the lease component of a lease agreement on an asset class basis when the non-lease components of the agreement cannot be easily bifurcated from the lease payment. Currently, the Company is only applying this expedient to certain office space agreements.

Pursuant to the gathering and compression agreements with Antero Midstream, the Company has dedicated substantially all of its current and future acreage in West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania to Antero Midstream for gathering and compression services. The 2019 gathering and compression agreement has an initial term through 2038, the Marcellus gathering and compression agreements expire between 2024 and 2031, and the Utica compression agreement has two dedicated areas that expire in 2024 and 2030. Upon expiration of each of the Marcellus gathering and compression agreements and the Utica compression agreement, Antero Midstream will continue to provide gathering and compression services under the 2019 gathering and compression agreement. Under the gathering and compression agreements, Antero Midstream receives a low-pressure gathering fee per Mcf, a high-pressure gathering fee per Mcf and a compression fee per Mcf, as applicable, subject to annual adjustments based on the consumer price index. If and to the extent the Company requests that Antero Midstream construct new low pressure lines, high pressure lines and compressor stations, the 2019 gathering and compression agreement contains options at Antero Midstream’s election for either (i) minimum volume commitments that require Antero Resources to utilize or pay for . In addition, certain of the Marcellus gathering and compression agreements provide for a minimum volume commitment that requires the Company to utilize or pay for . The 2019 gathering and compression agreement includes a growth incentive fee program whereby low-pressure gathering fees will be reduced from 2020 through 2023 to the extent the Company achieves certain quarterly volumetric targets. The Company’s throughput gathered under the Marcellus gathering and compression agreements is not considered in low pressure gathering volume targets. Upon completion of the initial contract term, the 2019 gathering and compression agreement will continue in effect from year to year until such time as the agreement is terminated, effective upon an anniversary of the effective date of the agreement, by either the Company or Antero Midstream on or before the th day prior to the anniversary of such effective date. The Company achieved the first threshold volumetric target during each of the first, second and third quarters of 2022 and 2023, and earned fee rebates of Gathering and compression fees paid by Antero related to these agreements were $164 million and $189 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively. million, respectively. ​

These contracts commit the Company to transport minimum daily natural gas or NGLs volumes at negotiated rates or pay for any deficiencies at specified reservation fee rates. The amounts in this table are based on the Company’s minimum daily volumes at the reservation fee rate. The values in the table represent the gross amounts that the Company is committed to pay; however, the Company will record in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements its proportionate share of costs based on its working interest. (b) Processing, Gathering, Compression and Water Service Commitments The Company has entered into various long- term gas processing, gathering, compression and water service agreements. Certain of these agreements were determined to be leases. The minimum payment obligations under the agreements that are not leases are presented in this column. The values in the table represent the gross amounts that the Company is committed to pay; however, the Company will record in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements its proportionate share of costs based on its working interest. (c) Operating and Finance Leases, including Imputed Interest The Company has obligations under contracts for services provided by drilling rigs and completion fleets, processing, gathering, and compression services agreements, and office and equipment leases. The values in the table represent the gross amounts that Antero Resources is committed to pay; however, the Company will record in its financial statements its proportionate share of costs based on its working interests. See Note 12—Leases to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information on the Company’s operating and finance leases. (d) Other The Company has entered into various land acquisition and sand supply agreements. Certain of these agreements contain minimum payment obligations over various terms. The values in the table represent the minimum payments due under these arrangements. None of these agreements were determined to be leases. (e) Contract Terminations The Company incurs costs associated with the delay or cancellation of certain contracts with third-parties. These costs are recorded in Contract termination and included in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). During the third quarter of 2022, the Company cancelled the construction of the Smithburg 2 gas processing plant and made a cash payment of million.

Contingencies
Contingencies	(14) Contingencies (a) Environmental In June 2018, the Company received a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) Region III for alleged violations of the federal Clean Air Act and the West Virginia State Implementation Plan. The NOV alleges that combustion devices at these facilities did not meet applicable air permitting requirements. Separately, in June 2018, the Company received an information request from the EPA Region III pursuant to Section 114(a) of the Clean Air Act relating to the facilities that were inspected in September 2017 as well as additional Antero Resources facilities for the purpose of determining if the additional facilities have the same alleged compliance issues that were identified during the September 2017 inspections. Subsequently, the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (“WVDEP”) and the EPA Region V (covering Ohio facilities) each conducted its own inspections, and the Company has separately received NOVs from WVDEP and EPA Region V related to similar issues being investigated by the EPA Region III. The Company continues to negotiate with the EPA and WVDEP to resolve the issues alleged in the NOVs and the information request. The Company’s operations at these facilities are not suspended, and management does not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. (b) Other The Company is party to various other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that certain of these matters will be covered by insurance and that the outcome of other matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, pending litigation against the Company and other similarly situated peer operators could have an impact on the methods for determining the amount of permitted post-production costs and types of costs that have been, and may be, deducted from royalty payments, among other things. While the amounts claimed could be material, we are unable to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of such claims and proceedings. Rulings were recently received in two cases to which the Company is a party, and where the plaintiffs alleged, and the court found, that certain post-production costs may not be deducted: a non-class action lawsuit in West Virginia and a class action lawsuit in Ohio. In each case, the alleged damages were not material. The Company will continue to challenge the legal conclusions reached in each of these cases with respect to deductibility of post-production costs, and continues to analyze how these decisions may impact other cases to which the Company is a party. At this time, the Company cannot predict how these issues may ultimately be resolved, and therefore is also unable to estimate any potential damages, if any, that may result. The Company accrues for litigation, claims and proceedings when liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, and does not currently have any material amounts accrued with respect to its pending litigation matters. ​

Reportable Segments
Reportable Segments	(16) Reportable Segments (a) Summary of Reportable Segments The Company’s operations, which are located in the United States, are organized into three reportable segments: (i) the exploration, development and production of natural gas, NGLs and oil; (ii) marketing and utilization of excess firm transportation capacity and (iii) midstream services through the Company’s equity method investment in Antero Midstream. Substantially all of the Company’s production revenues were attributable to customers located in the United States; however, some of the Company’s production revenues were attributable to customers who then transport the Company’s production to foreign countries for resale or consumption. These segments are monitored separately by management for performance and are consistent with internal financial reporting. These segments have been identified based on the differing products and services, regulatory environment and the expertise required for these operations. Management evaluates the performance of the Company’s business segments based on operating income (loss). General and administrative expenses were allocated to the midstream segment based on the nature of the expenses and on a combination of the segments’ proportionate share of the Company’s consolidated property and equipment, capital expenditures and labor costs, as applicable. General and administrative expenses related to the marketing segment were not allocated because they are immaterial. Other income, income taxes and interest expense are primarily managed and evaluated on a consolidated basis. Intersegment sales were transacted at prices which approximate market. Accounting policies for each segment are the same as the Company’s accounting policies described in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Exploration and Production The exploration and production segment is engaged in the development, production, exploration and acquisition of natural gas, NGLs and oil properties located in the Appalachian Basin. The Company targets large, repeatable resource plays where horizontal drilling and advanced fracture stimulation technologies provide the means to economically develop and produce natural gas, NGLs and oil from unconventional formations. Marketing Where feasible, the Company purchases and sells third-party natural gas and NGLs and markets its excess firm transportation capacity, or engages third parties to conduct these activities on the Company’s behalf, in order to optimize the revenues from these transportation agreements. The Company has entered into long-term firm transportation agreements for a significant portion of its current and expected future production in order to secure guaranteed capacity to favorable markets. Equity Method Investment in Antero Midstream The Company receives midstream services through its equity method investment in Antero Midstream. Antero Midstream owns, operates and develops midstream energy infrastructure primarily to service the Company’s production and completion activity in the Appalachian Basin. Antero Midstream’s assets consist of gathering pipelines, compressor stations, interests in processing and fractionation plants and water handling assets. Antero Midstream provides midstream services to Antero Resources under long-term contracts.

Subsidiary Guarantors	(17) Subsidiary Guarantors Antero Resources’ senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Antero Resources’ existing subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Facility. In the event a subsidiary guarantor is sold or disposed of (whether by merger, consolidation, the sale of a sufficient amount of its capital stock so that it no longer qualifies as a “Subsidiary” of Antero (as defined in the indentures governing the notes) or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets (other than by lease)) and whether or not the subsidiary guarantor is the surviving entity in such transaction to a person that is not Antero or a restricted subsidiary of Antero, such subsidiary guarantor will be released from its obligations under its subsidiary guarantee if the sale or other disposition does not violate the covenants set forth in the indentures governing the notes. In addition, a subsidiary guarantor will be released from its obligations under the indentures and its guarantee, upon the release or discharge of the guarantee of other Indebtedness (as defined in the indentures governing the notes) that resulted in the creation of such guarantee, except a release or discharge by or as a result of payment under such guarantee; if Antero designates such subsidiary as an unrestricted subsidiary and such designation complies with the other applicable provisions of the indentures governing the notes or in connection with any covenant defeasance, legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the notes.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation	(a) Basis of Presentation These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to interim financial information and should be read in the context of the Company’s December 31, 2022 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for a more complete understanding of the Company’s operations, financial position and accounting policies. The Company’s December 31, 2022 consolidated financial statements were included in Antero Resources’ 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and, accordingly, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023, results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023. The Company has no items of other comprehensive income or loss; therefore, its net income or loss is equal to its comprehensive income or loss. Operating results for the period ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year because of the impact of fluctuations in prices received for natural gas, NGLs and oil, natural production declines, the uncertainty of exploration and development drilling results, fluctuations in the fair value of derivative instruments and other factors.
Principles of Consolidation	(b) Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Antero Resources Corporation, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its variable interest entity (“VIE”), Martica Holdings LLC, (“Martica”), for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. From time to time, the Company may be in the position of a “book overdraft” in which outstanding checks exceed cash and cash equivalents. The Company classifies book overdrafts in accounts payable and revenue distributions payable within its condensed consolidated balance sheets, and classifies the change in accounts payable associated with book overdrafts as an operating activity within its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As of December 31, 2022, the book overdrafts included within accounts payable and revenue distributions payable were million, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, the book overdrafts included within accounts payable and revenue distributions payable were
Income (Loss) Per Common Share	(d) Income (Loss) Per Common Share Income (loss) per common share—basic for each period is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Antero by the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Income (loss) per common share—diluted for each period is computed after giving consideration to the potential dilution from (i) outstanding equity awards using the treasury stock method and (ii) shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2026 Convertible Notes (as defined below in Note 7—Long-Term Debt) using the if-converted method. The Company includes restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards, performance share unit (“PSU”) awards and stock options in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding based on the number of common shares that would be issuable if the end of the period was also the end of the performance period required for the vesting of the awards. During periods in which the Company incurs a net loss, diluted weighted average shares outstanding are equal to basic weighted average shares outstanding because the effects of all equity awards and the 2026 Convertible Notes are anti-dilutive. ​ The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for basic and diluted income (loss) per share (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended September 30, ​ Nine Months Ended September 30, ​ ​ 2022 2023 2022 2023 Net income attributable to Antero Resources Corporation—common shareholders ​ $ 559,759 ​ ​ 17,808 ​ ​ 1,168,475 ​ ​ 148,155 ​ Add: Interest expense for 2026 Convertible Notes ​ ​ 830 ​ ​ 470 ​ ​ 2,764 ​ ​ 1,555 ​ Less: Tax-effect of interest expense for 2026 Convertible Notes ​ ​ (193) ​ ​ (101) ​ ​ (642) ​ ​ (334) ​ Net income attributable to Antero Resources Corporation—common shareholders and assumed conversions ​ $ 560,396 ​ ​ 18,177 ​ ​ 1,170,597 ​ ​ 149,376 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Income per share—basic ​ $ 1.83 ​ ​ 0.06 ​ ​ 3.77 ​ ​ 0.50 ​ Income per share—diluted ​ $ 1.72 ​ ​ 0.06 ​ ​ 3.51 ​ ​ 0.48 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted average common shares outstanding—basic ​ ​ 305,343 ​ ​ 300,141 ​ ​ 309,954 ​ ​ 298,461 ​ Weighted average common shares outstanding—diluted ​ ​ 325,997 ​ ​ 311,534 ​ ​ 333,738 ​ ​ 310,958 ​ ​ The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s basic weighted average shares outstanding to diluted weighted average shares outstanding during the periods presented (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended September 30, ​ Nine Months Ended September 30, ​ ​ 2022 2023 2022 2023 ​ Basic weighted average number of shares outstanding ​ 305,343 ​ 300,141 ​ 309,954 ​ 298,461 ​ Add: Dilutive effect of RSUs ​ 3,041 ​ 1,213 ​ 3,444 ​ 1,419 ​ Add: Dilutive effect of PSUs ​ 1,486 ​ 1,105 ​ 2,462 ​ 1,080 ​ Add: Dilutive effect of 2026 Convertible Notes ​ 16,127 ​ 9,075 ​ 17,878 ​ 9,998 ​ Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding ​ 325,997 ​ 311,534 ​ 333,738 ​ 310,958 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted average number of outstanding securities excluded from calculation of diluted income (loss) per common share (1) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ RSUs ​ — ​ 1,128 ​ — ​ 1,267 ​ PSUs ​ — ​ 100 ​ — ​ 199 ​ Stock options ​ 349 ​ 323 ​ 350 ​ 324 ​ (1) The potential dilutive effects of these awards were excluded from the computation of income (loss) per common share—diluted because the inclusion of these awards would have been anti-dilutive.
Recently Issued Accounting Standard	(e) Recently Issued Accounting Standard Convertible Debt Instruments In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity Debt with Conversion and Other Options , that require separate accounting for conversion features, and instead, allows the debt instrument and conversion features to be accounted for as a single debt instrument. It is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2021. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2022 Upon adoption of this new standard, the Company reclassified $24 million, net of deferred income taxes and equity issuance costs, from additional paid-in capital and increased long-term debt by $27 million, reduced deferred income tax liability by $6 million and reduced accumulated deficit by $3 million as of January 1, 2022. Additionally, annual interest expense for the 2026 Convertible Notes beginning January 1, 2022 is based on an effective interest rate of ​
