AR's Q4 earnings beat estimates on higher gas-equivalent production volumes. However, revenues witness a year-over-year decline.

January's cold spells and the February cold spells as well have significantly reduced natural gas storage, benefiting Antero Resources. Natural gas prices began rising in December.  It is not common for a company to have a stronger fourth quarter than the first quarter in the same fiscal year.
