AI Summarization
Antero Midstream Partners LP (AM)
Company Profile
Detailed history and background:
- Founded in 2013 as a master limited partnership (MLP) by Antero Resources Corporation (AR).
- AM acquires, owns, and operates midstream assets in the Appalachian Basin, primarily serving AR.
- AM focuses on gathering, compressing, treating, processing, and transporting natural gas, NGLs, and condensate for its parent company and third-party customers.
- In January 2023, AM completed the acquisition of AR's midstream assets through a unit exchange. This transaction made AM an independent MLP focused on gathering, processing, treating, compressing, transporting, and storing natural gas and NGLs in the Appalachian Basin.
Core business areas:
- Natural gas gathering and processing: AM operates gathering systems and natural gas processing plants that treat and process natural gas produced by AR and other producers in the Appalachian Basin.
- NGL transportation and fractionation: AM operates NGL pipelines and a fractionator that separates NGLs into individual components like ethane, propane, and butane. These components are then transported to end-users via pipelines, trucks, and rail.
- Water infrastructure: AM owns and operates water infrastructure assets, including saltwater disposal wells used to dispose of wastewater produced during oil and gas extraction.
Leadership team and corporate structure:
- Paul Rady - Chairman and CEO: Over 50 years of experience in the energy industry, co-founded Antero Resources in 2008.
- Glen Warren - President and COO: Over 30 years of experience in midstream operations, previously held various leadership positions at AR.
- Brad Heigel - CFO: Over 20 years of experience in finance and accounting, previously held various finance leadership positions at AR.
- The Board of Directors includes seven members, with three being independent directors.
Top Products and Market Share
- Top products: Natural gas gathering and processing, NGL transportation and fractionation, water infrastructure services.
- Market share: AM gathers over 98% of AR's natural gas production and owns the largest NGL pipeline system in the Appalachian Basin. However, these are niche markets, and providing an accurate global or US market share is difficult.
- Competitive landscape: Key competitors include Equitrans Midstream (ETRN), Energy Transfer (ET), and MPLX LP (MPLX). AM holds advantages through its integrated system and dedicated service to AR, but faces pressure from larger competitors offering diverse services across multiple basins.
Total Addressable Market
The North American natural gas liquids (NGL) market is expected to reach USD 41.1 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 6.2%. The Appalachian Basin is a significant contributor to this growth due to its vast natural gas reserves and increasing NGL production.
Financial Performance
- 2022 Revenue: USD 1.84 billion
- 2022 Net Income: USD 469 million
- Profit Margin: 25.5%
- 2022 EPS: USD 2.26
- Year-over-year comparison: Revenue increased by 16.5% and net income by 38.9% compared to 2021.
- Cash flow and balance sheet: Strong cash flow generation and low debt levels indicate a healthy financial position.
Dividends and Shareholder Returns:
- Dividend history: AM has maintained a consistent dividend payout history with recent increases. Current annualized dividend yield is approximately 8.5%.
- Shareholder returns: AM has delivered positive total shareholder returns over the past 1 year and 5 years.
Growth Trajectory
- Historical growth: AM has experienced steady growth in recent years, driven by rising natural gas and NGL production in the Appalachian Basin.
- Future growth: AM projects continued growth in 2023 based on strong commodity prices and increased production volumes. Additionally, AR's expanding drilling program suggests long-term growth potential for AM.
Market Dynamics
- Industry trends: The natural gas and NGL sectors are experiencing favorable market conditions due to rising energy demand and global supply constraints.
- Technological advancements: AM focuses on using innovative technologies to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
- Competitive positioning: AM leverages its strategic location, integrated infrastructure, and dedicated service to AR as competitive advantages. The company strives to maintain cost leadership within the basin.
Competitors

- ET: Market share - 5.5%, Competitive advantages - Diversified operations, large market reach
- MPLX: Market share - 13.5%, Competitive advantages - Strong logistics network, focus on multiple products
Challenges and Opportunities
- Challenges: Permitting delays, potential changes in environmental regulations, price volatility of natural gas and NGLs.
- Opportunities: Expansion into new markets, development of new technologies, increased NGL exports, strategic partnerships.
Recent Acquisitions (last 3 years)
- None. AM acquired all midstream assets from AR in January 2023, marking a significant step towards operational independence.
AI-Based Fundamental Rating
Rating: 7.5 out of 10
Justification: AM holds a strong financial position with consistent dividend payouts and promising growth prospects. The company benefits from its dedicated focus on the Appalachian Basin and its relationship with AR. However, competition from larger, more diversified players poses a challenge.
