Did AM Beat Earnings? Q3 2025 Results
Antero Midstream delivered a mixed third quarter for 2025, posting an earnings per share miss alongside a modest revenue beat as volume growth drove the top line while profitability fell slightly short of expectations. Adjusted EPS came in at $0.27, trailing the $0.29 consensus estimate by 7.57%, though revenue of $294.82 million edged past the $291.54 million forecast by 1.12% and grew 2.5% year over year. The most material driver behind the revenue strength was a 30% surge in fresh water delivery volumes to 92 MBbl/d, fueled by the completion of an integrated water system connecting the entire liquids-rich midstream corridor in the Marcellus Shale, even as the company serviced just one completion crew. Adjusted EBITDA climbed 10% to $281.23 million, and free cash flow after dividends nearly doubled to $77.80 million. Looking ahead, Antero Midstream is positioning its dry gas infrastructure to capture demand from natural gas-fired power generation and AI datacenters, supported by Antero Resources adding 79 dedicated locations year-to-date.

Forward Guidance & Outlook
The remainder of the 2025 capital budget is focused on well connect and fresh water delivery capital for the 2026 development plan, including the first Marcellus dry gas pad on Antero Midstream dedicated acreage with underutilized midstream capacity. This dry gas development will have access to local Appalachian markets with the ability to support future demand growth from natural gas-fired power generation and AI datacenters. Antero Resources announced approximately $260 million of acquisitions in the Marcellus Shale with production already gathered by Antero Midstream and 10 undeveloped locations now dedicated to Antero Midstream. Antero Resources is also increasing its 2025 organic land leasing program by $50 million, having added 79 dedicated locations year-to-date.
