DENVER, March 13, 2019
DENVER, March 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Antero Resources (NYSE: AR) ("Antero Resources", or "AR") today announced receipt of consideration in connection with the closing of the previously announced simplification transaction between Antero Midstream GP LP (NYSE: AMGP) ("AMGP") and Antero Midstream Partners LP (NYSE: AM) ("Antero Midstream Partners" or "AM"). At closing, AMGP was converted from a Limited Partnership to a Corporation and was renamed Antero Midstream Corporation ("New AM"). Beginning on March 13, 2019, New AM's common stock will trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol AM. With the closing of this transaction, Antero Resources will no longer consolidate Antero Midstream Partners' financial and operating results in Antero Resources' consolidated financial statements. Antero Resources will account for its interest in New AM under the equity method of accounting. This new financial statement presentation will be substantially the same as the previously categorized "Stand-alone" data that was historically reported. Please see the accompanying presentation on our website titled "Simplification and Deconsolidation: Catalyst for Outperformance" for supplemental details.
Highlights Include:
Paul Rady, Chairman and CEO commented, "This improved visibility and simplified corporate structure, alongside a diversified production mix and industry-leading hedge book, result in a low-risk E&P profile positioned to maximize returns across the commodity price cycles. We remain committed to our long-term strategy of spending within cash flow, continuing to delever our already strong balance sheet and then returning free cash flow to shareholders. We project 2019 capital to be at the low end of the guidance range, with a continued focus on keeping capital spending within cash flow."
Glen Warren, President, and Chief Financial Officer added, "With the simplification of our midstream structure and the deconsolidation of our financial statements, we have made significant progress in improving Antero's financial transparency. We believe the deconsolidation showcases the strength of our balance sheet and highlights the independence of the two companies. As of year-end 2018, we have reduced leverage to 2.1x leverage on a pro forma basis, while growing to become the 4th largest natural gas producer and the largest NGL producer in the U.S. today. This was achieved only nine years after placing our first well online."
