Antero Non-GAAP Measures Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAX, Stand-Alone Adjusted EBITDAX, Consolidated Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, Stand-Alone Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ( GAAP ). The non-gaap financial measures used by the company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures utilized by other companies. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for their nearest GAAP measures. The Stand-alone measures are presented to isolate the results of the operations of Antero apart from the performance of Antero Midstream, which is otherwise consolidated into the results of Antero. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAX and Stand-Alone Adjusted EBITDAX The GAAP financial measure nearest to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAX is net income or loss including noncontrolling interest that will be reported in Antero s consolidated financial statements. The GAAP financial measure nearest to Stand-Alone Adjusted EBITDAX is Stand-alone net income or loss that will be reported in the Parent column of Antero s guarantor footnote to its financial statements. While there are limitations associated with the use of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAX and Stand-Alone Adjusted EBITDAX described below, management believes that these measures are useful to an investor in evaluating the company s financial performance because these measures: are widely used by investors in the oil and gas industry to measure a company s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such term, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and 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 (both on a consolidated and Stand-alone basis) from period to period by removing the effect of its capital structure from its operating structure; and is used by management for various purposes, including as a measure of Antero s operating performance (both on a consolidated and Stand-alone basis), in presentations to the company s board of directors, and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAX is also used by the board of directors as a performance measure in determining executive compensation. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAX, as defined by our credit facility, is used by our lenders pursuant to covenants under our revolving credit facility and the indentures governing the company s senior notes. There are significant limitations to using Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAX and Stand-Alone Adjusted EBITDAX as measures of performance, including the inability to analyze the effect of certain recurring and non-recurring items that materially affect the company s net income on a consolidated and Stand-alone basis, 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, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAX and Stand-Alone Adjusted EBITDAX provide no information regarding a company s capital structure, borrowings, interest costs, capital expenditures, and working capital movement or tax position.

Antero Non-GAAP Measures Antero has not included a reconciliation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAX or Stand-Alone Adjusted EBITDAX to their nearest GAAP financial measures for 2018 because it cannot do so without unreasonable effort and any attempt to do so would be inherently imprecise. Antero is able to forecast the following reconciling items between Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAX and Stand-Alone Adjusted EBITDAX to net income from continuing operations including noncontrolling interest: (in thousands) Consolidated Stand-Alone Low High Low High Interest expense $250,000 $300,000 $200,000 $220,000 Depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion expense 950,000 1,050,000 800,000 900,000 Impairment expense 100,000 125,000 100,000 125,000 Exploration expense 5,000 15,000 5,000 15,000 Equity-based compensation expense 95,000 115,000 70,000 90,000 Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate 30,000 40,000 N/A N/A Distributions from unconsolidated affiliates 40,000 50,000 N/A N/A Distributions from limited partner interest in Antero Midstream N/A N/A 166,000 170,000 Antero has a significant portfolio of commodity derivative contracts that it does not account for using hedge accounting, and forecasting unrealized gains or losses on this portfolio is impracticable and imprecise due to the price volatility of the underlying commodities. Antero is also forecasting no impact from franchise taxes, gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt, or gain or loss on sale of assets, for 2018. For income tax expense (benefit), Antero is forecasting a 2018 effective tax rate of 18% to 19%. APPENDIX DISCLOSURES & RECONCILIATIONS 19

Antero Non-GAAP Measures Consolidated Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, Stand-Alone Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow The GAAP financial measure nearest to Consolidated Adjusted Operating Cash Flow is cash flow from operating activities as reported in Antero s consolidated financial statements. The GAAP financial measure nearest to Stand-Alone Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow is Stand-alone cash flow from operating activities that will be reported in the Parent column of Antero s guarantor footnote to its financial statements. Management believes that Consolidated Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Stand-Alone Adjusted Operating Cash Flow are useful indicators of the company s ability to internally fund its activities and to service or incur additional debt on a consolidated and Stand-alone basis. Management believes that changes in current assets and liabilities, which are excluded from the calculation of these measures, relate to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements and therefore may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred and generally do not have a material impact on the ability of the company to fund its operations. Management believes that Free Cash Flow is a useful measure for assessing the company s financial performance and measuring its ability to generate excess cash from its operations. There are significant limitations to using Consolidated Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, Stand-Alone Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow as measures of performance, including the inability to analyze the effect of certain recurring and non-recurring items that materially affect the company s net income on a consolidated and Stand-Alone basis, the lack of comparability of results of operations of different companies and the different methods of calculating Consolidated Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Stand-Alone Adjusted Operating Cash Flow reported by different companies. Consolidated Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Stand-Alone Adjusted Operating Cash Flow do not represent funds available for discretionary use because those funds may be required for debt service, capital expenditures, working capital, income taxes, franchise taxes, exploration expenses, and other commitments and obligations. Antero has not included reconciliations of Consolidated Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, Stand-Alone Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow to their nearest GAAP financial measures for 2018 because it would be impractical to forecast changes in current assets and liabilities. However, Antero is able to forecast the earn out payments expected from Antero Midstream associated with the water drop down transaction that occurred in 2015, each of which is a reconciling item between Stand-Alone Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow, as applicable, and cash flow from operating activities as reported in the Parent column of Antero s guarantor footnote to its financial statements. Antero forecasts these items to be $125 million in each of 2019 and 2020. Additionally, Antero is able to forecast lease maintenance expenditures and Stand-alone drilling and completion capital, each of which is a reconciling item between Free Cash Flow and its most comparable GAAP financial measure. For the 2018 to 2022 period, Antero forecasts cumulative lease maintenance expenditures of $200 million and cumulative Stand-Alone drilling and completion capital of $8.6 billion.
