This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
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
statements. These include the factors discussed or referenced under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2015 and in the Company’s subsequent filings with the SEC.
The Company cautions you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to
predict and many of which are beyond our control, incident to the exploration for and development, production, gathering and sale of natural gas
and oil. These risks include, but are not limited to, commodity price volatility, inflation, lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and
services, environmental risks, drilling and other operating risks, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating natural gas and oil
reserves and in projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to capital, the timing of development expenditures, and the other risks
described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and in the Company’s
subsequent filings with the SEC.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made and the Company undertakes no obligation to correct
or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Antero can achieve 15% year-over-year net production growth for 2016 by spending only $675 million, or approximately $330
million less than the $1 billion of expected hedge revenues for the year (1)
Incremental growth capital of $625 million in 2016 positions Antero to achieve its 20% year-over-year targeted net production

Accelerated development is further enhanced by Antero’s ability to flow incremental production to the most favorable price indices using Antero’s
firm transport portfolio
Despite its large hedge position, Antero has tremendous leverage to natural gas and NGL prices due to scale of its 3P reserves and development

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, assumes 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 2016-2020 projected production volumes resulting in
blend of strip and hedge prices.
15
At 12/31/2015 strip pricing, Antero has 2,227 locations with well economics that exceed 20% rate of
return (excluding hedges)
– Including hedges, these locations generate rates of return of approximately 52% to 85%
Rates of return include pad, facilities, cash production expenses (including midstream and FT costs)
– See assumptions pages in appendix for further detail

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 the amount of time for well payouts, 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

Cash Flow Growth
Most active developer in the lowest cost basin with growing production base and
firm transport to favorable markets; over 33 Tcfe of unhedged 3P reserves increase
~$10 billion in pre-tax PV-10 value with a 50% recovery in commodity prices
KEY CATALYSTS FOR ANTERO
Guiding to 15% in 2016 and targeting 20% production growth in 2017 with
~100% hedged at $3.94/MMBtu and $3.57/MMBtu, respectively
Large, low unit cost core Marcellus and Utica natural gas drilling inventory
with associated liquids generates attractive returns supported by long-term
natural gas hedges, takeaway portfolio and downstream LNG and NGL sales
agreements
Q1 2016 well costs estimated to be over 15% lower than 2015 costs;
numerous completion enhancements recently implemented to potentially
increase EURs
Antero owns 66% of Antero Midstream Partners and thereby participates
directly in its growth and value creation; acquisition of integrated water
business from Antero expected to result in distributable cash flow per unit

CONSIDERABLE RESERVE BASE WITH
ETHANE OPTIONALITY
27 year proved reserve life based on 2015 production annualized
Reserve base provides significant exposure to liquids-rich projects
– 3P reserves of over 2.4 BBbl of NGLs and condensate in ethane recovery mode; 35% liquids
1. Ethane rejection occurs when ethane is left in the wellhead gas stream as the gas is processed, rather than being separated out and sold as a liquid after fractionation. When ethane is left in the gas
stream, the BTU content of the residue gas at the outlet of the processing plant is higher. Producers will elect to “reject” ethane when the price received for the higher BTU residue gas is greater than the
price received for the ethane being sold as a liquid after fractionation. When ethane is recovered, the BTU content of the residue gas is lower, but a producer is then able to recover the value of the ethane
sold as a separate NGL product.
2. 1.1 Tcfe of ethane reserves (182 million barrels) was included in 12/31/2015 reserves from the Marcellus Shale as the first de-ethanizer was placed online at the MarkWest Sherwood facility in December
2015 and Antero’s first ethane sales contract is expected to commence in 2017 upon the completion of Mariner East 2.

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 II, 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) based
on current product pricing

“Outlook Stable. The affirmation reflects our view that Antero will
maintain funds from operations (FFO)/Debt above 20% in 2016, as it
continues to invest and grow production in the Marcellus Shale. The
company has very good hedges in place, which will limit exposure to
commodity prices.”
- S&P Credit Research, February 2016
“Moody’s confirmed Antero Resources’ rating, which reflects its strong
hedge book through 2018 and good liquidity. Antero has $3.1 billion in
unrealized hedge gains, $3 billion of availability under its $4 billion
committed revolving credit facility and a 67% interest in Antero

52. CAUTIONARY NOTE
The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserve estimates
(collectively, “3P”). Antero has provided internally generated estimates for proved, probable and possible reserves in this presentation in
accordance with SEC guidelines and definitions. The estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves as of December 31, 2015 included in
this presentation have been audited by Antero’s third-party engineers. Unless otherwise noted, reserve estimates as of December 31, 2015
assume ethane rejection and strip pricing.
Actual quantities that may be ultimately recovered from Antero’s interests may differ substantially from the estimates in this presentation. Factors
affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of Antero’s ongoing drilling program, which will be directly affected by commodity prices, the
availability of capital, drilling and production costs, availability of drilling services and equipment, drilling results, lease expirations, transportation
constraints, regulatory approvals and other factors; and actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates.
In this presentation:
“3P reserves” refer to Antero’s estimated aggregate proved, probable and possible reserves as of December 31, 2015. The SEC prohibits
companies from aggregating proved, probable and possible reserves in filings with the SEC due to the different levels of certainty associated
