On average, that is over 58,500 barrels per day and LPG CARGOES roughly 39 very large gas carrier (VLGC) cargoes over the course of 2021. A significant portion of Antero's LPGs were sent to Africa, Asia and Europe. <-- ANTERO LPG CARGO DESTINATIONS 39 LPG CARGOES Around 3 billion people, over one-third of the world's population, are required to cook using solid fuels (wood, crop wastes, charcoal, coal and dung) and kerosene in open fires and inefficient stoves. In 2021, approximately 1/4 of Antero's LPG exports were shipped to developing countries as defined by the United Nations. These LPG exports have supplied cleaner energy to households in developing countries for heating and cooking. These cooking practices produce high levels of household air pollution with a wide range of damaging health impacts.

Adjusted EBITDAX also includes distributions received with respect to limited partner interests in Antero Midstream Partners common units prior to the closing of the simplification transaction on March 12, 2019. The GAAP financial measure nearest to Adjusted EBITDAX is net income or loss including noncontrolling interest that will be reported in Antero's condensed consolidated financial statements. While there are limitations associated with the use of Adjusted EBITDAX described below, management believes that this measure is useful to an investor in evaluating the Company's financial performance because it: • is widely used by investors in the oil and natural gas industry to measure operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such term, which may vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets, capital structure, and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors; helps investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of Antero's operations from period to period by removing the effect of its capital and legal structure from its consolidated operating structure; and is used by management for various purposes, including as a measure of Antero's operating performance, in presentations to the Company's board of directors, and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting. Adjusted EBITDAX is also used by the board of directors as a performance measure in determining executive compensation. There are significant limitations to using Adjusted EBITDAX as a measure of performance, including the inability to analyze the effects of certain recurring and non-recurring items that materially affect the Company's net income or loss, the lack of comparability of results of operations of different companies, and the different methods of calculating Adjusted EBITDAX reported by different companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDAX provides no information regarding a company's capital structure, borrowings, interest costs, capital expenditures, and working capital movement or tax position. Net Debt: Net Debt is calculated as total long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. Management uses Net Debt to evaluate its financial position, including its ability to service its debt obligations. Leverage: Leverage is calculated as LTM Adjusted EBITDAX divided by net debt. Free Cash Flow: Free Cash Flow is a measure of financial performance not calculated under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for cash flow from operating, investing, or financing activities, as an indicator of cash flow, or as a measure of liquidity. The Company defines Free Cash Flow as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, less Net Cash Used in Investing Activities, which includes drilling and completion capital and leasehold capital, less proceeds from asset sales and less distributions to non-controlling interests in Martica. The Company has not provided a reconciliation of Net Debt, Adjusted EBITDAX or Leverage as of or for the year ended December 31, 2023 to the nearest GAAP measures because it cannot do so without unreasonable effort and any attempt to do so would be inherently imprecise. See assumptions slide for more information regarding key assumptions. Free Cash Flow is a useful indicator of the Company's ability to internally fund its activities and to service or incur additional debt and estimate return of capital. There are significant limitations to using Free Cash Flow as a measure of performance, including the inability to analyze the effect of certain recurring and non-recurring items that materially affect the Company's net income, the lack of comparability of results of operations of different companies and the different methods of calculating Free Cash Flow reported by different companies. Free Cash Flow does not represent funds available for discretionary use because those funds may be required for debt service, land acquisitions and lease renewals, other capital expenditures, working capital, income taxes, exploration expenses, and other commitments and obligations. | Antero Resources (NYSE: AR) 32#33Antero Resources Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation Three Months Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31, 2021 2022 2021 2022 Reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDAX: Net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) attributable to Antero Resources Corporation $ 901,385 730,296 (186,899) 1,898,771 Net income and comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interests Unrealized commodity derivative (gains) losses Payments for derivative monetizations Amortization of deferred revenue, VPP 56,636 (1,025,870) 63,832 32,790 (618,134) 748,540 127,201 (295,229) 4,569 - (11,403) (9,478) (45,236) (37,603) Loss (gain) on sale of assets 595 (1,600) (2,232) 471 Interest expense, net 43,748 25,120 181,868 125,372 Loss on early extinguishment of debt 10,355 652 93,191 46,027 Loss on convertible note inducement and equitizations - 50,777 169 Income tax expense (benefit) 263,491 140,390 (74,077) 448,692 Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion 178,716 169,959 745,829 685,227 Impairment of property and equipment 20,905 69,982 90,523 149,731 Exploration expense Equity-based compensation expense 474 628 6,566 3,651 5,248 12,221 20,437 35,443 Adjusted EBITDAX Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate Dividends from unconsolidated affiliate Contract termination, transaction expense and other Martica related adjustments (1) || Antero Resources (NYSE: AR) (19,464) (17,464) (77,085) (72,327) 31,284 31,284 136,609 125,138 193 5,031 7,600 25,288 456,293 602,719 1,733,770 3,266,022 (36,032) (38,012) (116,468) (163,081) $ 420,261 564,707 1,617,302 3,102,941 33#34Antero Resources Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2023 Reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDAX: Net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) attributable to Antero Resources Corporation $ (156,419) 213,431 Net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests (18,277) 47,771 Unrealized commodity derivative (gains) losses 725,994 (342,799) Payments for derivative monetizations 202,339 Amortization of deferred revenue, VPP Loss (gain) on sale of assets Interest expense, net Loss on early extinguishment of debt Loss on convertible note inducement Income tax expense (benefit) Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion Impairment of property and equipment Exploration expense Equity-based compensation expense Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate Dividends from unconsolidated affiliate Contract termination, transaction expense and other (9,272) (7,533) 1,786 (91) 37,713 25,700 10,654 86 (53,092) 62,183 170,832 168,460 22,462 15,560 898 754 4,649 13,018 (25,178) (17,681) 31,285 31,285 48 32,418 744,083 444,901 Martica related adjustments (1) Adjusted EBITDAX (37,201) (31,132) $ 706,882 413,769 | Antero Resources (NYSE: AR) 1) Adjustments reflect noncontrolling interests in Martica not otherwise adjusted in amounts above. 34#35Antero Resources Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation Reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDAX: Net income and comprehensive income attributable to Antero Resources Corporation Net income and comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interests Unrealized commodity derivative gains Payments for derivative monetizations Amortization of deferred revenue, VPP Gain on sale of assets Interest expense, net Loss on early extinguishment of debt Loss on convertible note inducement Income tax expense Depletion, depreciation, amortization, and accretion Impairment of property and equipment Exploration Equity-based compensation expense Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate Dividends from unconsolidated affiliate Contract termination, transaction expense and other Martica related adjustments (1) Adjusted EBITDAX | Antero Resources (NYSE: AR) 1) Adjustments reflect noncontrolling interests in Martica not otherwise adjusted in amounts above.
