FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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, 2013 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, 2013 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.

LNG EXPORTS BY PROJECT – EXPECTED START UP

Assuming 9.5 Bcf/d of LNG exports by 2020, the U.S. would be the world’s 3rd largest LNG exporter (behind Qatar and Australia)− 7.7 Bcf/d (81%) of the 9.5 Bcf/d of expected LNG

exports have secured US DOE non-FTA (free trade agreement) permit approval

− 6.7 Bcf/d (four projects, 70%) have been awarded FERC construction permits (see next page for more detail)

The first LNG export project, Sabine Pass LNG Train 1 is expected to commence operations in early 2016− Antero has committed to 200 MMcf/d on Sabine

Page 38: Company website presentation (a) february 2015

CLEAN FLEET & CNG TECHNOLOGY LEADER

● Antero has contracted for two clean completion fleets to enhance the economics of its completion operations and reduce the environmental impact

● Replaces diesel engines (for pressure pumping) with electric motors powered by natural gas-fired electric generators

● A clean fleet allows Antero to fuel part of its completion operations from field gas instead of more expensive diesel fuel. Benefits of using a clean fleet include:− Reduce fuel costs by up to 80%

representing cost savings of up to $40,000/day

− Reduces NOx and CO emissions by 99%− Eliminates 25 diesel trucks from the roads

for an average well completion− Reduces silica dust to levels 90% below

OSHA permissible exposure limits resulting in a safer and cleaner work environment

− Significantly reduces noise pollution from a well site

− Is the most environmentally responsible completion solution in the oil and gas industry

• Additionally, Antero utilizes compressed natural gas (CNG) to fuel its truck fleet in Appalachia− Antero supported the first natural gas fueling

station in West Virginia− Antero has 30 NGV trucks and plans to

continue to convert its truck fleet to NGV

CONSIDERABLE RESERVE BASE WITH ETHANE OPTIONALITY 35 year proved reserve life based on 2014 production annualized Reserve base provides significant exposure to liquids-rich projects

– 3P reserves of over 2.5 BBbl of NGLs and condensate in ethane recovery mode; 32% 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.

POSITIVE RATINGS MOMENTUMMoody’s / S&P Historical Corporate Credit Ratings

“We could raise the ratings due to our assessment of an improvement inthe company's financial profile. An improvement in the financial profilewould include maintaining FFO to debt of greater than 45% andnarrowing the amount that the company outspends its cash flows by.”

- S&P Credit Research, September 2014

“An upgrade could be considered if debt / average daily production issustained below $20,000 per boe and debt / proved-developedreserves is sustained below $8.00 per boe. An upgrade would also becontingent on Antero maintaining unleveraged cash margins greaterthan $25.00 per boe and retained cash flow to debt over 40%.”

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, 2014 included in this presentation have been audited by Antero’s third-party engineers. Unless otherwise noted, reserve estimates as of December 31, 2014 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, 2014. The SEC prohibits companies from aggregating proved, probable and possible reserves in filings with the SEC due to the different levels of certainty associated with each reserve category.

“EUR,” or “Estimated Ultimate Recovery,” refers to Antero’s internal estimates of per well hydrocarbon quantities that may be potentially recovered from a hypothetical future well completed as a producer in the area. These quantities do not necessarily constitute or represent reserves within the meaning of the Society of Petroleum Engineer’s Petroleum Resource Management System or the SEC’s oil and natural gas disclosure rules.

“Condensate” refers to gas having a heat content between 1250 BTU and 1300 BTU in the Utica Shale.

“Highly-Rich Gas/Condensate” refers to gas having a heat content between 1275 BTU and 1350 BTU in the Marcellus Shale and 1225 BTU and 1250 BTU in the Utica Shale.

“Highly-Rich Gas” refers to gas having a heat content between 1200 BTU and 1275 BTU in the Marcellus Shale and 1200 BTU and 1225 BTU in the Utica Shale.

“Rich Gas” refers to gas having a heat content of between 1100 BTU and 1200 BTU.

“Dry Gas” refers to gas containing insufficient quantities of hydrocarbons heavier than methane to allow their commercial extraction or to require their removal in order to render the gas suitable for fuel use.
