ANTERO RESOURCES Corp Fair Value Disclosure
(10) Fair Value
The carrying values of restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable as of December 31, 2024 and 2025 approximated fair value because of their short-term nature. The carrying values of the amounts outstanding under the Unsecured Credit Facility as of December 31, 2024 and 2025 approximated fair value because the variable interest rates are reflective of current market conditions.

About Fair Value Disclosures
Fair value disclosures classify all assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy: Level 1 (quoted market prices), Level 2 (observable inputs like yield curves), and Level 3 (unobservable inputs requiring management estimates). The proportion of Level 3 assets directly reflects how much of the balance sheet depends on internal models rather than market evidence.
Key signals: a growing Level 3 balance relative to total fair-value assets increases valuation uncertainty and earnings volatility risk. Watch for transfers between levels — assets moving from Level 2 to Level 3 often signal deteriorating market liquidity. Unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 positions flow through earnings or other comprehensive income, so large swings deserve scrutiny. For financial institutions, examine the sensitivity disclosures that show how Level 3 valuations change under alternative assumptions. Compare the fair value of debt against its carrying amount to gauge hidden leverage.
