Forward Guidance
Antero Resources expects to continue benefiting from premium natural gas and NGL pricing due to firm transportation capacity and sales agreements. The company plans to manage its share repurchase program actively while maintaining focus on debt reduction.
Positive Outlook
- Faster than expected ramp-up of Gulf Coast LNG facilities is expected to contribute to premium natural gas realizations.
- Firm sales agreements for approximately 90% of LPG export volumes at a double-digit premium to Mont Belvieu pricing are in place for 2025.
- Full year 2025 C3+ NGL prices are expected to average a premium to Mont Belvieu pricing in the range of $1.50 to $2.50 per barrel.
- The company has a low debt level, allowing for opportunistic share repurchases.
- New natural gas collars for 2026 with a floor price of $3.07 per MMBtu and a ceiling of $5.96 per MMBtu provide price protection for lean gas volumes.
Challenges Ahead
- Commodity price volatility could impact future results.
- Inflation, supply chain, or other disruptions could affect operations and costs.
