Organization	(1) Organization Antero Resources Corporation (individually referred to as “Antero” and together with its consolidated subsidiaries “Antero Resources,” or the “Company”) is engaged in the development, production, exploration and acquisition of natural gas, NGLs and oil properties in the Appalachian Basin in West Virginia and Ohio. 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. The Company’s corporate headquarters is located in Denver, Colorado.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of Presentation These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to interim financial information and should be read in the context of the Company’s December 31, 2023 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, 2023 consolidated financial statements were included in Antero Resources’ 2023 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, 2023 and June 30, 2024, results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024. 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2024 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, 2023, the book overdrafts included within accounts payable and revenue distributions payable were million, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the book overdrafts included within accounts payable and revenue distributions payable were (d) Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share Net 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 common shares outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) per common share—diluted for each period is computed after giving consideration to the potential dilution from (i) outstanding equity-based 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 common 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 common shares outstanding are equal to basic weighted average common shares outstanding because the effects of all equity-based 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 net income (loss) per common share (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended June 30, ​ Six Months Ended June 30, ​ 2023 2024 2023 2024 Net income (loss) attributable to Antero Resources Corporation—common shareholders ​ $ (83,084) ​ ​ (65,663) ​ ​ 130,347 ​ ​ (29,318) Add: Interest expense for 2026 Convertible Notes ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 1,085 ​ ​ — Less: Tax-effect of interest expense for 2026 Convertible Notes ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ (233) ​ ​ — Net income (loss) attributable to Antero Resources Corporation—common shareholders and assumed conversions ​ $ (83,084) ​ ​ (65,663) ​ ​ 131,199 ​ ​ (29,318) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net income (loss) per common share—basic ​ $ (0.28) ​ ​ (0.21) ​ ​ 0.44 ​ ​ (0.10) Net income (loss) per common share—diluted ​ $ (0.28) ​ ​ (0.21) ​ ​ 0.42 ​ ​ (0.10) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted average common shares outstanding—basic ​ ​ 300,141 ​ ​ 310,806 ​ ​ 298,461 ​ ​ 307,875 Weighted average common shares outstanding—diluted ​ ​ 300,141 ​ ​ 310,806 ​ ​ 311,488 ​ ​ 307,875 ​ The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s basic weighted average common shares outstanding to diluted weighted average common shares outstanding during the periods presented (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended June 30, ​ Six Months Ended June 30, ​ 2023 2024 2023 2024 Basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding ​ 300,141 ​ 310,806 ​ 298,461 ​ 307,875 Add: Dilutive effect of RSUs ​ — ​ — ​ 1,593 ​ — Add: Dilutive effect of PSUs ​ — ​ — ​ 967 ​ — Add: Dilutive effect of 2026 Convertible Notes ​ — ​ — ​ 10,467 ​ — Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding ​ 300,141 ​ 310,806 ​ 311,488 ​ 307,875 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted average number of outstanding securities excluded from calculation of diluted net income (loss) per common (1) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ RSUs ​ 4,070 ​ 3,537 ​ 2,260 ​ 3,654 PSUs ​ 1,791 ​ 2,010 ​ 377 ​ 2,032 Stock options ​ 324 ​ 259 ​ 324 ​ 259 2026 Convertible Notes ​ 9,076 ​ — ​ — ​ 2,432 (1) The potential dilutive effects of these securities were excluded from the computation of net income (loss) per common share—diluted because the inclusion of these securities would have been anti-dilutive.

In connection with the transaction, the Company contributed the ORRIs to Martica and Sixth Street contributed million in cash if certain production thresholds attributable to the ORRIs were achieved in 2020 and 2021. The Company met these production thresholds and received the million of additional contributions from Sixth Street during 2020 and 2021. All cash contributed by Sixth Street at the initial closing and received as part of these additional contributions was distributed to the Company. The ORRIs include an overriding royalty interest of 1.25% of the Company’s working interest in all of its operated proved developed properties in West Virginia and Ohio, subject to certain excluded wells (the “Initial PDP Override”), and an overriding royalty interest of 3.75% of the Company’s working interest in all of its undeveloped properties in West Virginia and Ohio (the “Development Override”). Wells turned to sales after April 1, 2020 and prior to the later of (a) the date on which the Company turns to sales million lateral feet (net to the Company’s interest) of horizontal wells are subject to the Development Override. As of April 1, 2023, Sixth Street no longer has the right to participate in any new wells, and Martica reconveyed the Development Override to the Company, except for the portion relating to wells turned to sales prior to April 1, 2023. 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, Prior to Sixth Street achieving an internal rate of return of 13% and 1.5x 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 (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 through 2024, 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 all annual tranches. Antero Resources develops and manages the drilling program associated with each tranche, including the selection of wells. Additionally, for each annual tranche, 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 development capital of 20%, 15% and 15% for wells spud in 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively, and will fund 20% of development capital 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. The Company received a carry of million for each of the 2021 and 2022 tranches during the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2023. 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 FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 932, Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas , and such conveyances are recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as QL obtains its proportionate working interest in each well. No gain or loss was recognized for the interests conveyed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024. ​

The Amended AR LTIP provides for the reservation of 14,916,100 shares of the Company’s common stock, plus the number of certain shares that become available again for delivery 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 the actual delivery of shares to be considered not delivered and thus, available for new awards under the Amended AR LTIP. 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 AR LTIP or Amended AR LTIP (other than stock options and stock appreciation rights), will again be available for new awards under the Amended AR LTIP. A total of 10,815,035 shares were available for future grant under the Amended AR LTIP as of June 30, 2024.

Antero Resources allocated a portion of equity-based compensation expense related to grants prior to March 12, 2019 to Antero Midstream Partners based on its proportionate share of Antero Resources’ labor costs. As of March 31, 2023, all such awards were fully vested, and there is no remaining unamortized expense attributable to these awards after such date . ​ (a) Restricted Stock Unit Awards A summary of RSU award activity is as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Average ​ ​ ​ Number ​ Grant Date ​ ​ of Units Fair Value Total awarded and unvested—December 31, 2023 ​ 3,521,050 ​ $ 22.40 ​ Granted ​ 1,387,062 ​ ​ 26.49 ​ Vested ​ (1,536,814) ​ ​ 17.48 ​ Forfeited ​ (22,940) ​ ​ 25.71 ​ Total awarded and unvested—June 30, 2024 ​ 3,348,358 ​ $ 26.33 ​ ​ As of June 30, 2024, there was $73 million of unamortized equity-based compensation expense related to unvested RSUs. 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 2024, 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, 2025, March 7, 2026 and March 7, 2027, and one cumulative three-year performance period ending on March 7, 2027, in each case, subject to certain continued employment criteria (“2024 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 2024 Absolute TSR PSUs ranges from zero to 200% of the target number of 2024 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 2024 Absolute TSR PSUs: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Dividend yield ​ ​ — % ​ Volatility ​ ​ 55 % ​ Risk-free interest rate ​ ​ 4.23 % ​ Weighted average fair value of awards granted ​ $ 32.29 ​ ​ ​ Performance Share Unit Awards Based on Leverage Ratio In March 2024, 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) (“Net Debt to EBITDAX”) determined as of the last day of each of three one-year performance periods ending on December 31, 2024 December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2026, in each case, subject to certain continued employment criteria (“2024 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 2024 Leverage Ratio PSUs ranges from zero to 200% of the target number of 2024 Leverage Ratio PSUs originally granted. Expense related to the 2024 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 June 30, 2024, the likelihood of achieving the performance conditions related to the 2024 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 six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024. 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 and comprehensive income. As of June 30, 2024, 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 Propane ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ July-December 2024 ​ Mont Belvieu Propane-OPIS TET ​ 10,000 Bbl/day ​ $ 33.67 /Bbl ​ ​ 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 June 30, 2024, 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 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ July-December 2024 ​ Henry Hub ​ 53,000 MMBtu/day ​ $ 2.477 /MMBtu ​ $ 2.477 /MMBtu ​ January-December 2025 ​ Henry Hub ​ 44,000 MMBtu/day ​ ​ 2.564 /MMBtu ​ ​ 2.564 /MMBtu ​ January-December 2026 ​ Henry Hub ​ 32,000 MMBtu/day ​ ​ 2.629 /MMBtu ​ ​ 2.629 /MMBtu ​ ​ As of June 30, 2024, 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 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ July-December 2024 ​ NYMEX to TCO ​ 50,000 MMBtu/day ​ $ 0.530 /MMBtu ​ ​ As of June 30, 2024, 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 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ July-December 2024 ​ Henry Hub ​ 22,565 MMBtu/day ​ $ 2.33 /MMBtu ​ January-March 2025 ​ Henry Hub ​ 18,021 MMBtu/day ​ ​ 2.53 /MMBtu ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Oil ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ July-December 2024 ​ West Texas Intermediate ​ 39 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 Location December 31, 2023 ​ June 30, 2024 ​ Asset derivatives not designated as hedges for accounting purposes: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Embedded derivatives—current ​ Derivative instruments ​ $ 5,175 ​ ​ 2,440 ​ Embedded derivatives—noncurrent ​ Derivative instruments ​ ​ 5,570 ​ ​ 3,176 ​ Total asset derivatives (1) ​ ​ ​ ​ 10,745 ​ ​ 5,616 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Liability derivatives not designated as hedges for accounting purposes: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Commodity derivatives—current (2) ​ Derivative instruments ​ ​ 15,236 ​ ​ 22,756 ​ Commodity derivatives—noncurrent (2) ​ Derivative instruments ​ ​ 32,764 ​ ​ 23,516 ​ Total liability derivatives (1) ​ ​ ​ ​ 48,000 ​ ​ 46,272 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net derivatives liability (1) ​ ​ ​ $ (37,255) ​ ​ (40,656) ​ (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, Marcellus gathering and compression agreement and Mountaineer gathering and compression agreement have initial terms through 2038, 2031 and 2026, respectively, and the Utica compression agreement has dedicated areas that expire in 2024 and 2030. Upon expiration of the Marcellus gathering and compression agreement, the Utica compression agreement and the Mountaineer gathering and 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 Consumer Price Index (“CPI”)-based adjustments. 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 . The Marcellus gathering and compression agreement provides for a minimum volume commitment that requires the Company to utilize or pay for from the in-service date. The Mountaineer gathering and compression agreement provides for monthly minimum compression and gathering fees for each compressor station or high pressure gathering line, respectively, for a period of days after such asset’s in-service date. As of June 30, 2024, the minimum volume commitments for the 2019 gathering and compression agreement and Marcellus gathering and compression agreement end in 2034 and 2024, respectively, and the minimum compression and gathering fees for the Mountaineer gathering and compression agreement end in 2026. The 2019 gathering and compression agreement included a growth incentive fee program that expired on December 31, 2023 whereby low pressure gathering fees were reduced from 2020 through 2023 to the extent the Company achieved certain quarterly volumetric targets. The Company’s throughput gathered under the Marcellus gathering and compression agreement was not considered in the low pressure gathering volume targets. The Company earned fee rebates of 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 notice from either the Company or Antero Midstream to the other party on or before the 180th day prior to the anniversary of such agreement. Gathering and compression fees paid by the Company related to these agreements were $185 million and $202 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, gathering and compression fees paid by the Company related to this agreement were million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024,

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) Production Taxes The Company is subject to production taxes in the states in which it operates. The Company’s production tax filings in West Virginia for 2018 to 2020 tax years were subject to audit by the State of West Virginia. All assessments received in conjunction with this audit have been recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive net loss during the three months ended June 30, 2024; however, the Company has filed an appeal with regard to such assessments. At this time, the Company believes the outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. (c) 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. ​

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
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 are attributable to customers located in the United States; however, some of the Company’s production revenues are 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 are 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.

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 (i) 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, (ii) 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 (iii) in connection with any covenant defeasance, legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the notes. As described in Note 7—Long-Term Debt, the New Credit Facility is unsecured and is not guaranteed by any of Antero Resources’ subsidiaries. As such, each subsidiary guarantor was released from its obligations under the indentures and its guarantee effective July 30, 2024.

The Company’s December 31, 2023 consolidated financial statements were included in Antero Resources’ 2023 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, 2023 and June 30, 2024, results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024. 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2024 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, 2023, the book overdrafts included within accounts payable and revenue distributions payable were million, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the book overdrafts included within accounts payable and revenue distributions payable were
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share	(d) Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share Net 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 common shares outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) per common share—diluted for each period is computed after giving consideration to the potential dilution from (i) outstanding equity-based 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 common 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 common shares outstanding are equal to basic weighted average common shares outstanding because the effects of all equity-based 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 net income (loss) per common share (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended June 30, ​ Six Months Ended June 30, ​ 2023 2024 2023 2024 Net income (loss) attributable to Antero Resources Corporation—common shareholders ​ $ (83,084) ​ ​ (65,663) ​ ​ 130,347 ​ ​ (29,318) Add: Interest expense for 2026 Convertible Notes ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 1,085 ​ ​ — Less: Tax-effect of interest expense for 2026 Convertible Notes ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ (233) ​ ​ — Net income (loss) attributable to Antero Resources Corporation—common shareholders and assumed conversions ​ $ (83,084) ​ ​ (65,663) ​ ​ 131,199 ​ ​ (29,318) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net income (loss) per common share—basic ​ $ (0.28) ​ ​ (0.21) ​ ​ 0.44 ​ ​ (0.10) Net income (loss) per common share—diluted ​ $ (0.28) ​ ​ (0.21) ​ ​ 0.42 ​ ​ (0.10) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted average common shares outstanding—basic ​ ​ 300,141 ​ ​ 310,806 ​ ​ 298,461 ​ ​ 307,875 Weighted average common shares outstanding—diluted ​ ​ 300,141 ​ ​ 310,806 ​ ​ 311,488 ​ ​ 307,875 ​ The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s basic weighted average common shares outstanding to diluted weighted average common shares outstanding during the periods presented (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended June 30, ​ Six Months Ended June 30, ​ 2023 2024 2023 2024 Basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding ​ 300,141 ​ 310,806 ​ 298,461 ​ 307,875 Add: Dilutive effect of RSUs ​ — ​ — ​ 1,593 ​ — Add: Dilutive effect of PSUs ​ — ​ — ​ 967 ​ — Add: Dilutive effect of 2026 Convertible Notes ​ — ​ — ​ 10,467 ​ — Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding ​ 300,141 ​ 310,806 ​ 311,488 ​ 307,875 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted average number of outstanding securities excluded from calculation of diluted net income (loss) per common (1) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ RSUs ​ 4,070 ​ 3,537 ​ 2,260 ​ 3,654 PSUs ​ 1,791 ​ 2,010 ​ 377 ​ 2,032 Stock options ​ 324 ​ 259 ​ 324 ​ 259 2026 Convertible Notes ​ 9,076 ​ — ​ — ​ 2,432 (1) The potential dilutive effects of these securities were excluded from the computation of net income (loss) per common share—diluted because the inclusion of these securities would have been anti-dilutive.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	(e) Recently Issued Accounting Standards Reportable Segments ​ In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 is intended to improve reportable segment disclosures primarily through enhanced disclosure of reportable segment expenses. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-07 is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the impact that ASU 2023-07 will have on the financial statements and its plans for adoption, including the adoption date. ​ Income Taxes ​ In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 is intended to improve income tax disclosures primarily through enhanced disclosure of income tax rate reconciliation items, and disaggregation of income (loss) from continuing operations, income tax expense (benefit) and income taxes paid, net disclosures by federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, among others. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that ASU 2023-09 will have on the financial statements and its plans for adoption, including the adoption date and transition method
