(14)  Fair Value Measurement

The carrying values on the consolidated balance sheets of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable—Antero Resources, accounts receivable—third party, other current assets, accounts payable—Antero Resources, accounts payable—third party, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities approximate fair values due to their short-term maturities. The carrying value of the amounts under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2024 and 2025 approximated fair value because the variable interest rates are reflective of current market conditions.

The fair value and carrying value of the Company’s Senior Notes is as follows:

The Company used an income approach to estimate the selling price less costs to sell of the Utica Shale Property and Equipment, which represents fair value of the Utica Shale Property and Equipment as of December 31, 2025. The selling price less costs to sell is based on significant inputs not observable in the market, and therefore, represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.
