All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. Words such as “may,” “assume,” “forecast,” “position,” “predict,” “strategy,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “project,” “budget,” “potential,” or “continue,” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. When considering these forward-looking statements, investors should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current beliefs, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by such forward-looking statements include: ● our ability to execute our business strategy; ● our production and oil and gas reserves; ● our financial strategy, liquidity, and capital required for our development program; ● our ability to obtain debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms to fund additional acquisitions, expansion projects, working capital requirements and the repayment or refinancing of indebtedness; ● natural gas, natural gas liquids (“NGLs”), and oil prices; ● impacts of world health events, including the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic; ● timing and amount of future production of natural gas, NGLs, and oil; ● our hedging strategy and results; ● our ability to execute our debt repurchase program and/or our asset sale program; ● our ability to meet minimum volume commitments and to utilize or monetize our firm transportation commitments; ● our future drilling plans; ● our projected well costs and cost savings initiatives, including with respect to water handling and treatment services provided by Antero Midstream Corporation; ● competition and government regulations; ● pending legal or environmental matters; ● marketing of natural gas, NGLs, and oil; ● leasehold or business acquisitions; ● costs of developing our properties; ● operations of Antero Midstream Corporation; ● general economic conditions; ● credit markets; ● expectations regarding the amount and timing of jury awards; ● uncertainty regarding our future operating results; and 2 Table of Contents ● our other plans, objectives, expectations and intentions contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We caution investors that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties incidental to our business, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These risks include, but are not limited to, commodity price volatility, inflation, availability of drilling, completion, and production equipment and services, environmental risks, drilling and completion and other operating risks, marketing and transportation risks, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating natural gas, NGLs, and oil reserves and in projecting future rates of production, cash flows and access to capital, the timing of development expenditures, conflicts of interest among our stockholders, impacts of world health events, including the COVID-19 pandemic, potential shut-ins of production due to lack of downstream demand or storage capacity, and the other risks described or referenced under the heading “Risk Factors” herein, including the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”) and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, each of which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of natural gas, NGLs, and oil that cannot be measured in an exact manner. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data, and the price and cost assumptions made by reservoir engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing, and production activities, or changes in commodity prices, may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of natural gas, NGLs, and oil that are ultimately recovered. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described or referenced in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. ​

Resources Corporation (individually referred to as “Antero”) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Antero Resources,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) are engaged in the exploration, development, 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 are located in Denver, Colorado. ​ (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 Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to interim financial information and should be read in the context of the Company’s December 31, 2019 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, 2019 consolidated financial statements were included in Antero Resources’ 2019 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, 2019 and June 30, 2020, its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020. 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 June 30, 2020 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, the impacts of COVID-19 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, any entities in which the Company owns a controlling interest, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Through March 12, 2019, Antero Midstream Partners LP (“Antero Midstream Partners”), a publicly traded limited partnership, was included in the consolidated financial statements of Antero. Prior to the Closing (defined in Note 3—Deconsolidation of Antero Midstream Partners LP to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements), our ownership of Antero Midstream Partners common units represented approximately a 53 % limited partner interest in Antero Midstream Partners, and we consolidated Antero Midstream Partners’ financial position and results of operations into our consolidated financial statements. The Transactions (defined in Note 3—Deconsolidation of Antero Midstream Partners LP to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements) resulted in the exchange of the limited partner interest we owned in Antero Midstream Partners for common stock of Antero Midstream Corporation, par value $ 0.01 per share (the “Antero Midstream Corporation common stock”), representing an approximate 31 % interest in Antero Midstream Corporation. As a result, our controlling interest in Antero Midstream Partners was converted to an interest in Antero Midstream Corporation that provides significant influence, but not control, over Antero Midstream Corporation. Thus, effective March 13, 2019, Antero no longer consolidates Antero Midstream Partners in its consolidated financial statements and accounts for its interest in Antero Midstream Corporation using the equity method of accounting. See Note 3—Deconsolidation of Antero Midstream Partners LP to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the Transactions. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020, we have determined that Martica Holdings LLC (“Martica”) is a VIE for which Antero is the primary beneficiary. Therefore, Martica’s accounts are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Antero is the primary beneficiary of Martica based on its power to direct the activities that most significantly 10 Table of Contents ANTERO RESOURCES CORPORATION Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 ​ impact Martica’s economic performance, and its obligation to absorb losses of, or right to receive benefits from, Martica that could be significant to Martica. In reaching such determination that Antero is the primary beneficiary of Martica, the Company considered the following: ● Martica was formed to hold certain overriding royalty interests across the Company’s existing asset base; ● substantially all of Martica’s revenues are derived from production from the Company’s natural gas, NGLs, and oil properties in the Appalachian Basin in West Virginia and Ohio; ● Antero owns the Class B Units in Martica, which entitle Antero to receive distributions in respect of the Incremental Override (as defined in Note 4—Conveyance of Overriding Royalty Interest); and ● Antero provides accounting, administrative and other services to Martica under a Management Services Agreement. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The noncontrolling interest in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2019 represents the interests in Antero Midstream Partners that were owned by the public prior to the Transactions, and the incentive distribution rights in Antero Midstream Partners. The noncontrolling interest in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 represents the interest in Martica owned by third parties. See Note 4—Conveyance of Overriding Royalty Interest for more information on the sale of this noncontrolling interest. Martica is a discrete entity and the assets and credit of Martica are not available to satisfy the debts and obligations of the Company or its other subsidiaries. Investments in entities for which the Company exercises significant influence, but not control, are accounted for under the equity method. The Company’s judgment regarding the level of influence over its equity investments includes considering key factors such as Antero’s ownership interest, representation on the board of directors and participation in the policy-making decisions of equity method investees. Such investments are included in Investment in unconsolidated affiliate on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Income (loss) from investees that are accounted for under the equity method is included in Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. When Antero records its proportionate share of net income or net loss, it is recorded in equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates in the statements of operations and the carrying value of that investment on the Company’s balance sheet. When a distribution is received, it is recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of that investment on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company’s equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates is adjusted for intercompany transactions and the basis differences recognized due to the difference between the cost of the equity investment in Antero Midstream Corporation and the amount of underlying equity in the net assets of Antero Midstream Partners as of the date of deconsolidation. The Company accounts for distributions received from equity method investees under the “nature of the distribution” approach. Under this approach, distributions received from equity method investees are classified on the basis of the nature of the activity or activities of the investee that generated the distribution as either a return on investment, which is classified as cash inflows from operating activities, or a return of investment, which is classified as cash inflows from investing activities. (c) Use of Estimates The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Changes in facts and circumstances or discovery of new information may result in revised estimates, and actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are based on a number of significant estimates, including estimates of natural gas, NGLs, and oil reserve quantities, which are the basis for the calculation of depletion and impairment of oil and gas properties. Reserve estimates, by their nature, are inherently imprecise. Other items in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that involve the use of significant estimates include derivative assets and liabilities, accrued revenue, deferred and current income taxes, equity-based compensation, asset retirement obligations, depreciation, amortization, and commitments and contingencies. 11 Table of Contents ANTERO RESOURCES CORPORATION Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 ​ (d) Risks and Uncertainties The markets for natural gas, NGLs, and oil have, and continue to, experience significant price fluctuations. Price fluctuations can result from variations in weather, levels of production, availability of storage capacity and transportation to other regions of the country, the level of imports to and exports from the United States, and various other factors. Increases or decreases in the prices the Company receives for its production could have a significant impact on the Company’s future results of operations and reserve quantities. (e) 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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, and classifies the change in accounts payable and revenue distributions payable associated with book overdrafts as an operating activity within its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As of December 31, 2019, the book overdraft included within accounts payable and revenue distributions payable were $ 7 million and $ 18 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, the book overdraft included within revenue distributions payable was $ 5 million and no overdraft was included in accounts payable. (f) Oil and Gas Properties The Company accounts for its natural gas, NGLs, and oil exploration and development activities under the successful efforts method of accounting. Under the successful efforts method, the costs incurred to acquire, drill, and complete productive wells, development wells, and undeveloped leases are capitalized. Oil and gas lease acquisition costs are also capitalized. Exploration costs, including personnel and other internal costs, geological and geophysical expenses, delay rentals for gas and oil leases, and costs associated with unsuccessful lease acquisitions are charged to expense as incurred. Exploratory drilling costs are initially capitalized, but charged to expense if the Company determines that the well does not contain reserves in commercially viable quantities. The Company reviews exploration costs related to wells-in- progress at the end of each quarter and makes a determination, based on known results of drilling at that time, whether the costs should continue to be capitalized pending further well testing and results, or charged to expense. The Company incurred no such charges to expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020. The sale of a partial interest in a proved property is accounted for as a cost recovery, and no gain or loss is recognized as long as this treatment does not significantly affect the units-of- production amortization rate. A gain or loss is recognized for all other sales of producing properties. Unproved properties are assessed for impairment on a property-by- property basis, and any impairment in value is charged to expense. Impairment is assessed based on remaining lease terms, commodity price outlooks, and future plans to develop acreage, as well as drilling results, and reservoir performance of wells in the area. Unproved properties and the related costs are transferred to proved properties when reserves are discovered on, or otherwise attributed to, the property. Proceeds from sales of partial interests in unproved properties are accounted for as a recovery of cost without recognition of any gain or loss until the cost has been recovered. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, impairment of oil and gas properties was $ 131 million and $ 37 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, impairment of oil and gas properties was $ 212 million and $ 127 million, respectively. The Company evaluates the carrying amount of its proved natural gas, NGLs, and oil properties for impairment on a geological reservoir basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a property’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the Company would estimate the fair value of its properties and record an impairment charge for any excess of the carrying amount of the properties over the estimated fair value of the properties. Factors used to estimate fair value may include estimates of proved reserves, estimated future commodity prices, future production estimates, and anticipated capital expenditures, using a commensurate discount rate. (g) Derivative Financial Instruments In order to manage its exposure to natural gas, NGLs, and oil price volatility, the Company enters into derivative transactions from time to time, which may include commodity swap agreements, basis swap agreements, collar agreements, and other similar 12 Table of Contents ANTERO RESOURCES CORPORATION Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 ​ agreements related to the price risk associated with the Company’s production. To the extent legal right of offset exists with a counterparty, the Company reports derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis. The Company has exposure to credit risk to the extent that the counterparty is unable to satisfy its settlement obligations. The Company actively monitors the creditworthiness of counterparties and assesses the impact, if any, on its derivative positions. The Company records derivative instruments on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value and records changes in the fair value of derivatives in current earnings as they occur. Changes in the fair value of commodity derivatives, including gains or losses on settled derivatives, are classified as revenues on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s derivatives have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes. (h) Asset Retirement Obligations The Company is obligated to dispose of certain long- lived assets upon their abandonment. The Company’s asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) relate primarily to its obligation to plug and abandon oil and gas wells at the end of their lives. AROs are recorded at estimated fair value, measured by reference to the expected future cash outflows required to satisfy the retirement obligations, which is then discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted, risk- free interest rate. Revisions to estimated AROs often result from changes in retirement cost estimates or changes in the estimated timing of abandonment. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset, and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. (i) Natural Gas, NGLs, and Oil Revenues Our revenues are primarily derived from the sale of natural gas and oil production, as well as the sale of NGLs that are extracted from our natural gas. Sales of natural gas, NGLs, and oil are recognized when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of a product to a customer. Payment is generally received in the month following the sale. Under our natural gas sales contracts, we deliver natural gas to the purchaser at an agreed upon delivery point. Natural gas is transported from our wellheads to delivery points specified under sales contracts. To deliver natural gas to these points, Antero Midstream Corporation or other third parties gather, compress, process and transport our natural gas. We maintain control of the natural gas during gathering, compression, processing, and transportation. Our sales contracts provide that we receive a specific index price adjusted for pricing differentials. We transfer control of the product at the delivery point and recognize revenue based on the contract price. The costs incurred to gather, compress, process and transport natural gas are recorded as Gathering, compression, processing and transportation expense. NGLs, which are extracted from natural gas through processing, are either sold by us directly or by the processor under processing contracts. For NGLs sold by us directly, our sales contracts primarily provide that we deliver the product to the purchaser at an agreed upon delivery point and that we receive a specific index price adjusted for pricing differentials. We transfer control of the product to the purchaser at the delivery point and recognize revenue based on the contract price. The costs incurred to process and transport NGLs are recorded as Gathering, compression, processing, and transportation expense. For NGLs sold by the processor, our processing contracts provide that we transfer control to the processor at the tailgate of the processing plant and we recognize revenue based on the price received from the processor. Under our oil sales contracts, we generally sell oil to purchasers and collect a contractually agreed upon index price, net of pricing differentials. We recognize revenue based on the contract price when we transfer control of the product to a purchaser. When applicable, the costs incurred to transport oil to a purchaser are recorded as Gathering, compression, processing and transportation expense. (j) Marketing Revenues and Expenses Marketing revenues are derived from activities to purchase and sell third-party natural gas and NGLs and to market excess firm transportation capacity to third parties. We retain control of the purchased natural gas and NGLs prior to delivery to the purchaser. We have concluded that we are the principal in these arrangements and therefore, we recognize revenue on a gross basis, with costs to purchase and transport natural gas and NGLs presented as marketing expenses. Contracts to sell third party gas and NGLs are generally subject to similar terms as contracts to sell our produced natural gas and NGLs. We satisfy performance obligations to the purchaser by transferring control of the product at the delivery point and recognize revenue based on the contract 13 Table of Contents ANTERO RESOURCES CORPORATION Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 ​ price received from the purchaser. Fees generated from the sale of excess firm transportation marketed to third parties are included in Marketing revenue. Marketing expenses include the cost of purchased third-party natural gas and NGLs. The Company classifies firm transportation costs related to capacity contracted for in advance of having sufficient production and infrastructure to fully utilize the capacity (excess capacity) as marketing expenses since it is marketing this excess capacity to third parties. Firm transportation for which the Company has sufficient production capacity (even though it may not use the transportation capacity because of alternative delivery points with more favorable pricing) is considered unutilized capacity and is charged to transportation expense. (k) Gathering, compression , water handling and treatment revenue Substantially all revenues from the gathering, compression, water handling and treatment operations were derived from transactions for services Antero Midstream Partners provided to our exploration and production operations through March 12, 2019 and were eliminated in consolidation. Effective March 13, 2019, Antero Midstream Partners is no longer consolidated in Antero’s results. See Note 3 —Deconsolidation of Antero Midstream Partners LP to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the Transactions and Note 18—Segment information to the consolidated financial statements for disclosures on the Company’s reportable segments. The portion of such fees shown in our consolidated financial statements prior to March 13, 2019 represent amounts charged to interest owners in Antero-operated wells, as well as fees charged to other third parties for water handling and treatment services provided by Antero Midstream Partners or usage of Antero Midstream Partners’ gathering and compression systems. For gathering and compression revenue, Antero Midstream Partners satisfied its performance obligations and recognized revenue when low pressure volumes were delivered to a compressor station, high pressure volumes were delivered to a processing plant or transmission pipeline, and compression volumes were delivered to a high pressure line. Revenue was recognized based on the per Mcf gathering or compression fee charged by Antero Midstream Partners in accordance with the gathering and compression agreement. For water handling and treatment revenue, Antero Midstream Partners satisfied its performance obligations and recognized revenue when the fresh water volumes were delivered to the hydration unit of a specified well pad and the wastewater volumes were delivered to its wastewater treatment facility. For services contracted through third-party providers, Antero Midstream Partners’ performance obligation was satisfied when the services performed by the third-party providers were completed. Revenue was recognized based on the per barrel fresh water delivery or wastewater treatment fee charged by Antero Midstream Partners in accordance with the water services agreement. (l) Industry Segments and Geographic Information Management has evaluated how the Company is organized and managed and has identified the following segments: (1) the exploration, development, and production of natural gas, NGLs, and oil; (2) marketing and utilization of excess firm transportation capacity; and (3) our equity method investment in Antero Midstream Corporation. Through March 12, 2019, the results of Antero Midstream Partners were included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Antero. Effective March 13, 2019, the results of Antero Midstream Partners are no longer consolidated in Antero’s results; however, the Company’s segment disclosures include our equity method investment in Antero Midstream Corporation due to its significance to the Company’s operations. See Note 3—Deconsolidation of Antero Midstream Partners LP to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the Transactions and Note 18—Segment Information to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for disclosures on the Company’s reportable segments. All of the Company’s assets are located in the United States and substantially all of its 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. (m) Earnings (loss) Per Common Share Earnings (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. Earnings (loss) per common share—assuming dilution for each period is computed after giving consideration to the potential dilution from outstanding equity awards, calculated using the treasury stock method. The Company includes performance share unit awards 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 14 Table of Contents ANTERO RESOURCES CORPORATION Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 ​ average shares outstanding are equal to basic weighted average shares outstanding because the effect of all equity awards is anti-dilutive. 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 June 30, ​ Six months ended June 30, ​ ​ 2019 2020 2019 2020 ​ Basic weighted average number of shares outstanding ​ 309,062 ​ 268,386 ​ 308,879 ​ 276,306 ​ Add: Dilutive effect of restricted stock units ​ 33 ​ — ​ 48 ​ — ​ Add: Dilutive effect of outstanding stock options ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ Add: Dilutive effect of performance stock units ​ 42 ​ — ​ 155 ​ — ​ Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding ​ 309,137 ​ 268,386 ​ 309,082 ​ 276,306 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted average number of outstanding equity awards excluded from calculation of diluted earnings per common share (1) : ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Restricted stock units ​ 2,284 ​ 6,165 ​ 1,877 ​ 5,697 ​ Outstanding stock options ​ 538 ​ 454 ​ 554 ​ 454 ​ Performance stock units ​ 2,592 ​ 1,595 ​ 1,996 ​ 1,595 ​ (1) The potential dilutive effects of these awards were excluded from the computation of earnings (loss) per common share—assuming dilution because the inclusion of these awards would have been anti-dilutive. (n) Treasury Share Retirement The Company retires treasury shares acquired through share repurchases and returns those shares to the status of authorized but unissued. When treasury shares are retired, the Company’s policy is to allocate the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of shares acquired first, to additional paid-in capital, and then to accumulated earnings. The portion allocable to additional paid-in capital is determined by applying a percentage, determined by dividing the number of shares to be retired by the number of shares outstanding, to the balance of additional paid-in capital as of retirement. ​ ​ (3) Deconsolidation of Antero Midstream Partners LP On March 12, 2019, Antero Midstream GP LP and Antero Midstream Partners completed (the “Closing”) the transactions contemplated by the Simplification Agreement (the “Simplification Agreement”), dated as of October 9, 2018, by and among Antero Midstream GP LP, Antero Midstream Partners and certain of their affiliates, pursuant to which (i) Antero Midstream GP LP was converted from a limited partnership to a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware and changed its name to Antero Midstream Corporation, and (ii) an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Antero Midstream Corporation was merged with and into Antero Midstream Partners, with Antero Midstream Partners surviving the merger as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Antero Midstream Corporation (together, along with the other transactions contemplated by the Simplification Agreement, the “Transactions”). In connection with the Closing, Antero received $ 297 million in cash and 158.4 million shares of Antero Midstream Corporation common stock in consideration for 98,870,335 common units representing limited partnership interests in Antero Midstream Partners. The Company recorded a gain on deconsolidation of $ 1.4 billion calculated as the sum of (i) the cash proceeds received, (ii) the fair value of the Antero Midstream Corporation common stock received at the Closing, and (iii) the elimination of the noncontrolling interest less the carrying amount of the investment in Antero Midstream Partners. The fair value of Antero’s retained equity method investment on March 13, 2019 in Antero Midstream Corporation was $ 2.0 billion based on the market price of the shares received on March 12, 2019. See Note 6—Equity Method Investments to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on equity method investments. Antero Midstream Partners’ results of operations are no longer consolidated in the Company’s unaudited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) beginning March 13, 2019. Because Antero Midstream Partners does not meet the requirements of a discontinued operation, Antero Midstream Partners’ results of operations continue to be included in the Company’s consolidated unaudited statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) through March 12, 2019. 15 Table of Contents ANTERO RESOURCES CORPORATION Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 ​ (4) 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”). In connection with the transaction, the Company contributed the ORRIs to Martica and Sixth Street contributed $ 300 million in cash (subject to customary adjustments) and agreed to contribute up to an additional $ 102 million in cash if certain production targets attributable to the ORRIs are achieved. All cash contributed by Sixth Street 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 proved operated 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 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 are subject to the Development Override. 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 achieving such production volumes through March 31, 2023 will remain with Martica. 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 the Company will receive all distributions in respect of the Incremental Override, unless certain production targets are not achieved, in which case Sixth Street will receive some or all of the 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. The conveyance of the ORRIs from the Company to Martica was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control. As a result, the contributed ORRIs have been recorded by Martica at their historical cost. 16 Table of Contents ANTERO RESOURCES CORPORATION Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 ​ (5) Revenue (a) Disaggregation of Revenue Revenue is disaggregated by type in the following table.

See Note 3—Deconsolidation of Antero Midstream Partners to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the Transactions. ​ (b) Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations For our product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, we have utilized the practical expedient, which does not require the disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under our product sales contracts, each unit of product delivered to the customer represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required. For our product sales that have a contract term of one year or less, we have utilized the practical expedient, which does not require the disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. (c) Contract Balances Under our sales contracts, we invoice customers after our performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, our contracts do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities.

The 2020 Plan provides for grants of stock options (including incentive stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit 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 20 Table of Contents ANTERO RESOURCES CORPORATION Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 ​ 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 10,050,833 shares were available for future grant under the 2020 Plan as of June 30, 2020. 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). As part of the Transactions, each outstanding phantom unit award under the AMP Plan, was assumed by Antero Midstream Corporation and converted into 1.8926 restricted stock units under the Antero Midstream Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan (the “AMC Plan”). Each restricted stock unit award under the AMC Plan represents a right to receive one share of Antero Midstream Corporation common stock. The Company’s equity-based compensation expense, by type of award, was as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020 (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three months ended June 30, ​ Six months ended June 30, ​ ​ 2019 ​ 2020 ​ 2019 2020 ​ Restricted stock unit awards ​ $ 2,624 ​ ​ 4,080 ​ $ 6,600 ​ ​ 5,958 ​ Stock options ​ ​ 45 ​ ​ — ​ ​ 389 ​ ​ — ​ Performance share unit awards ​ ​ 2,666 ​ ​ 2,631 ​ ​ 5,628 ​ ​ 3,553 ​ Antero Midstream Partners phantom unit awards (1) ​ ​ 949 ​ ​ 1,262 ​ ​ 2,075 ​ ​ 1,422 ​ Equity awards issued to directors ​ ​ 265 ​ ​ — ​ ​ 760 ​ ​ 369 ​ Total expense ​ $ 6,549 ​ ​ 7,973 ​ $ 15,452 ​ ​ 11,302 ​ (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 the Transactions to Antero Midstream Partners based on its proportionate share of Antero Resources’ labor costs. Through March 12, 2019, the total amount of equity-based compensation is included in the consolidated financial statements of Antero Resources; and effective March 13, 2019 (date of deconsolidation), the amount allocated to Antero Midstream Partners is no longer reflected in Antero Resources consolidated financial statements.

That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.3 years. (11) Financial Instruments The carrying values of accounts receivable and accounts payable at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 approximated market values because of their short-term nature. The carrying values of the amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 approximated fair value because the variable interest rates are reflective of current market conditions. Based on Level 2 market data inputs, the fair value of senior notes was approximately $ 2.8 billion and $ 1.8 billion at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020, respectively. See Note 12—Derivative Instruments to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for information regarding the fair value of derivative financial instruments. ​ (12) Derivative Instruments (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 six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020. 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. The Company also entered into NGL derivative contracts, which establish a contractual price for the settlement month as a fixed percentage of the West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil index (“WTI”) price for the settlement month. When the percentage of the contractual price is above the contracted percentage, the Company pays the difference to the counterparty. When it is below the contracted percentage, the Company receives the difference from the counterparty. In addition, the Company has also entered into a call option agreement that gives the counterparty the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a fixed price swap agreement on a specified future date for a specific amount of production for a specified future period. 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. 23 Table of Contents ANTERO RESOURCES CORPORATION Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 ​ As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s fixed price natural gas, oil and NGL swap positions from July 1, 2020 through December 31, 2023 were as follows (abbreviations in the table refer to the index to which the swap position is tied, as follows: NYMEX=Henry Hub;

The monetization reduced the fixed volumes hedged on certain natural gas swap contracts maturing in 2021. ​ ​ (13) 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 27 Table of Contents ANTERO RESOURCES CORPORATION Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 ​ 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 to 20 years or more. The exercise of the lease renewal options are 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.

The values in the table represent the gross amounts that the Company is committed to pay; however, the Company will record in the consolidated financial statements its proportionate share of costs based on its working interest. (c) Land Payment Obligations The Company has entered into various land acquisition 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. 31 Table of Contents ANTERO RESOURCES CORPORATION Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 ​ (d) 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 we are committed to pay; however, we will record in our financial statements our proportionate share of costs based on our working interests. Refer to Note 13—Leases to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information on the Company’s operating and finance leases. ​ (15) Contingencies Environmental In June 2018, following site inspections conducted in September 2017 at certain of our facilities located in Doddridge County, Tyler County, and Ritchie County, West Virginia, we 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 relating to permitting and control requirements for emissions of regulated pollutants at several of our natural gas production facilities. The NOV alleges that combustion devices at these facilities did not meet applicable air permitting requirements. Separately, in June 2018, we received an information request from 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. We have separately received an NOV from West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (“WVDEP”) alleging violations relating to the same issues being investigated by the EPA. We continue to negotiate with EPA and WVDEP to resolve the issues alleged in the NOVs and the information request; however, we believe that there is a reasonable possibility that these actions may result in monetary sanctions exceeding $ 100,000 . Our operations at these facilities are not suspended, and management does not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. WGL The Company and Washington Gas Light Company and WGL Midstream, Inc. (collectively, “WGL”) were involved in a pricing dispute involving firm gas sales contracts executed June 20, 2014 (the “Contracts”) that the Company began delivering gas under in January 2016. From January 2016 through July 2017 and from December 2017 through January 2018, the aggregate daily gas volumes contracted for under the Contracts was 500,000 MMBtu/day, with the aggregate daily contracted volumes having increased to 600,000 MMBtu/day from August through November 2017. The Company invoiced WGL based on the natural gas index price specified in the Contracts and WGL paid the Company based on that invoice price. However, WGL asserted that the index price was no longer appropriate under the Contracts and claimed that an undefined alternative index was more appropriate for the delivery point of the gas. In July 2016, the matter was referred to arbitration by the Colorado district court. In January 2017, the arbitration panel ruled in the Company’s favor. As a result, the index price has remained as specified in the Contracts and there will be no adjustments to the invoices that have been paid by WGL, nor will future invoices to WGL be adjusted based on the same claim rejected by the arbitration panel. The arbitration panel’s award was confirmed by the Colorado district court on April 14, 2017. In March of 2017, WGL filed a second legal proceeding against the Company in Colorado district court alleging breach of contract and seeking damages of more than $ 30 million. In this lawsuit, WGL claimed that the Company breached its contractual obligations under the Contracts by failing to deliver “TCO pool” gas. In subsequent filings, WGL explained that its claims were based on an alleged obligation that the Company must deliver gas to the Columbia IPP Pool (“IPP Pool”). WGL asserted this exact same issue in the arbitration and it was rejected by the arbitration panel. The arbitration panel specifically found that the Delivery Point under the Contracts was at a specific geographic point in Braxton County, West Virginia, not the IPP Pool. On August 24, 2017, the Colorado district court dismissed with prejudice WGL’s claims against the Company in its new lawsuit and found that the Company had not breached its Contracts with WGL by allegedly failing to deliver to the IPP Pool. The Court dismissed WGL’s lawsuit because WGL had not adequately pled a claim against Antero Resources for the alleged failure to deliver “TCO pool” gas under the Contracts. WGL has appealed this decision to the Colorado Court of Appeals and on October 11, 2018 the Colorado Court of Appeals reversed the Colorado district court’s decision finding that WGL had adequately pled a claim for relief and remanded the case back to the district court for further proceedings. The Company is also actively engaged in pursuing cover damages against WGL based on WGL’s failure to take receipt of all of the agreed quantities of gas required under the Contracts. WGL’s failure to take the gas volumes specified in the Contracts is 32 Table of Contents ANTERO RESOURCES CORPORATION Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 ​ directly related to WGL’s lack of primary firm transportation rights at the Delivery Point. The failures by WGL to take the full contracted volumes of gas began in April 2017 and continued each month through December 2017 in varying quantities. In defense of its conduct, WGL asserted to the Company that their failure to receive gas is excused by (1) the Company’s failure to deliver gas to the IPP Pool or (2) alleged instances of Force Majeure under the Contracts. However, as stated above, the alleged obligation that the Company must deliver gas to the IPP Pool was already rejected by the arbitration panel. Further, the Contracts expressly prohibit a Force Majeure claim in circumstances in which the gas purchaser does not have primary firm transportation agreements in place to transport the purchased gas. In each instance that WGL failed to receive the quantity of gas required under the Contracts, the Company resold the quantities not taken and invoiced WGL for cover damages pursuant to the terms of the Contracts. WGL refused to pay for the invoiced cover damages as required by the Contracts and also short paid the Company for, among other things, certain amounts of gas received by WGL. The Company filed a lawsuit against WGL in Colorado district court on October 24, 2017 to recover its cover damages, other unpaid amounts, and interest. WGL’s claims have been consolidated with Antero Resources’ claims in the same district court and trial began on June 10, 2019. WGL quantified its damages claim for the alleged failure to deliver TCO Pool gas and sought approximately $ 40 million from Antero Resources. On June 20, 2019, the Company was awarded a jury verdict of approximately $ 96 million in damages after the jury found that WGL breached the Contracts with the Company. In addition, the jury rejected WGL’s claim against the Company, finding that the Company did not breach the Contracts by allegedly failing to deliver TCO Pool gas and awarding no damages in favor of WGL. On August 16, 2019, WGL appealed the judgment and the appeal is currently pending before the Colorado Court of Appeals. Effective February 1, 2018, as a result of a recent amendment to its firm gas sales contract with WGL Midstream, Inc. that was executed on December 28, 2017, the total aggregate volumes to be delivered to WGL at the Braxton delivery point were reduced from 500,000 MMBtu/day to 200,000 MMBtu/day and in November 2018, the total aggregate contract volumes to be delivered to WGL at a delivery point in Loudoun County, Virginia increased by 330,000 MMBtu/day. This increase of 330,000 MMBtu/day is in effect for the remaining term of our gas sale contract with WGL Midstream, which expires in 2038, and these increased volumes are subject to NYMEX-based pricing. Following this increase, the aggregate contract volumes delivered to WGL total 530,000 MMBtu/day. 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 consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. ​ (16) Contract Termination and Rig Stacking The Company incurs costs associated with the delay or cancellation of drilling and completion contracts with third-party contractors. These costs are recorded in Contract termination and rig stacking and included in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020 (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three months ended June 30, ​ Six months ended June 30, ​ 2019 2020 2019 2020 Contract termination and rig stacking ​ $ 5,604 ​ 11,071 ​ $ 13,964 ​ 11,071 ​ ​ ​ (17) Related Parties Antero Midstream Partners’ operations comprised substantially all of the operations reflected in the gathering and processing, and water handling and treatment, results through March 12, 2019. Effective March 13, 2019, Antero Resources accounts for Antero Midstream Corporation as an equity method investment. See Note 3—Deconsolidation of Antero Midstream Partners LP to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more discussion on the Transactions. Substantially all of the revenues for gathering and processing and water handling and treatment were derived from transactions with Antero Resources. See Note 18—Segment Information to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the operating results of the Company’s reportable segments. ​ 33 Table of Contents ANTERO RESOURCES CORPORATION Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 ​ (18) Segment Information See Note 2(l)—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Industry Segments and Geographic Information, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of the Company’s determination of its reportable segments. Revenues from gathering and processing and water handling and treatment operations were primarily derived from intersegment transactions for services provided to the Company’s exploration and production operations prior to the closing of the Transactions. Through March 12, 2019, the results of Antero Midstream Partners were included in the consolidated financial statements of Antero Resources. Effective March 13, 2019, the results of Antero Midstream Partners are no longer consolidated in Antero Resources’ results; however, the Company’s segment disclosures include the results of our unconsolidated affiliates due to their significance to the Company’s operations. See Note 3—Deconsolidation of Antero Midstream Partners LP to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the Transactions. Marketing revenues are primarily derived from activities to purchase and sell third-party natural gas and NGLs and to market excess firm transportation capacity to third parties. Operating segments are evaluated based on their contribution to consolidated results, which is primarily determined by the respective operating income (loss) of each segment. 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. The operating results and assets of the Company’s reportable segments were as follows for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020 (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

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.
