Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this presentation that address activities,
events or developments that Antero Resources Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Antero”) expects, believes or
anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,”
“project,” “foresee,” “should,” “would,” “could,” or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, the
absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-
looking statements contained in this presentation specifically include estimates of the Company’s reserves, expectations of plans, strategies,
objectives and anticipated financial and operating results of the Company, including as to the Company’s drilling program, production, hedging
activities, capital expenditure levels and other guidance included in this presentation. These statements are based on certain assumptions made
by the Company based on management’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and
other factors believed to be appropriate. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are
beyond the control of the Company, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking

Drilling Plan
1. 12/31/2015 pre-tax well economics based on a 9,000’ lateral, 12/31/2015 natural gas and WTI strip pricing for 2016-2024, flat thereafter, NGLs at 37.5% of WTI for 2016 and 50% of WTI thereafter, and
applicable firm transportation and operating costs including 50% of Antero Midstream fees. Well cost estimates, which include $1.2 million for road, pad and production facilities, assume Antero will begin
to realize lower well costs in 2016 as the company utilizes incremental completion crews for deferred completions beginning at year end 2015 and as existing drilling rig contracts begin to roll off during
2016.
2. ROR @ 12/31/2015 Strip Pricing – After Hedges reflects 12/31/2015 well cost ROR methodology with the 12/31/2015 hedge value allocated based on 2016-2021 projected production volumes resulting in
blend of strip and hedge prices.
HIGH RETURN LOCATIONS DRIVE VALUE CREATION
3
At 12/31/2015 strip pricing, Antero has 2,450 locations with well economics that exceed 20% rate of
return (excluding hedges)
– Including hedges, these locations generate rates of return of approximately 47% to 83%
Rates of return include pad, facilities, cash production expenses (including midstream and FT costs)

HEDGING – INTEGRAL TO BUSINESS MODEL
Hedging is a key component of Antero’s business model which includes development of a large, repeatable drilling inventory
– Locks in higher returns in a low commodity price environment and reduces well payout thereby enhancing liquidity
Antero has realized $1.7 billion of gains on commodity hedges since 2009
– Gains realized in 28 of last 29 quarters, or 97% of the quarters since 2009
● Based on Antero’s hedge position and strip pricing as of 12/31/2015, the unrealized commodity derivative value is $3.1 billion
● Significant additional hedge capacity remains under the credit facility hedging covenant for 2018 – 2022 period

and applicable firm transportation and operating costs including 50% of Antero Midstream fees. Well cost estimates, which include $1.2 million for road, pad and production facilities, assume
Antero will begin to realize lower well costs in 2016 as the company utilizes incremental completion crews for deferred completions beginning at year end 2015 and as existing drilling rig contracts

1. 12/31/2015 pre-tax well economics based on a 9,000’ lateral, 12/31/2015 natural gas and WTI strip pricing for 2016-2025, flat thereafter, NGLs at 37.5% of WTI for 2016 and 50% of WTI thereafter,
and applicable firm transportation and operating costs including 50% of Antero Midstream fees. Well cost estimates, which include $1.2 million for road, pad and production facilities, assume
Antero will begin to realize lower well costs in 2016 as the company utilizes incremental completion crews for deferred completions beginning at year end 2015 and as existing drilling rig contracts
begin to roll off during 2016.
2. Pricing for a 1225 BTU y-grade ethane rejection barrel. NGLs at 37.5% of WTI for 2016 and 50% of WTI for 2017 and thereafter. NGL prices are forecast to increase in 2017 relative to WTI due to

1. Source: Intercontinental exchange as of 12/31/2015.
2. Source of graphic: Tudor Pickering Holt & Co. research presentation dated June 16, 2015.
3. As an anchor shipper on Mariner East 2, Antero has the right to expand its NGL commitment with
notice to operator.
4. Shipping rates based on benchmark Baltic shipping rate of $59.57/ton as of 12/31/15, adjusted
for number of shipping days to NWE.
5. Pipeline fee equal to $0.0725/gal, per Mariner East I tariff. Terminal fee equal to $0.12/gal, per
TPH report dated June 16, 2015.
Upon in-service of Mariner East II, Antero will have the ability to market its propane and n-butane to
international buyers, which we expect will provide uplifts of $0.16/Gal and $0.18/Gal, respectively, to the
current netbacks received from propane and n-butane volumes shipped to Mont Belvieu today
− In the meantime, Antero has 30,000 Bbl/d of propane hedged at $0.59/Bbl in 2016
Commitment to Mariner East II results in approximately $127 million in combined incremental annualized
cash flow from propane and n-butane sales (~$86 MM from propane and ~$41 MM from n-butane)

POSITIVE RATINGS MOMENTUM
Moody’s / S&P Historical Corporate Credit Ratings
“We could raise the ratings due to our assessment of an improvement in
the company's financial profile. An improvement in the financial profile
would include maintaining FFO to debt of greater than 45% and
narrowing the amount that the company outspends its cash flows by.”
- S&P Credit Research, September 2014
"The upgrade reflects Moody's expectation that Antero will continue to
report strong production growth and increasing reserves despite
challenging market conditions and without a significant increase in
leverage. Antero's low finding and development costs and significant
commodity hedge position should allow the company to continue to
prosper despite today's low commodity price environment.“
