INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes “forward-looking statements” as defined by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Such statements are those concerning strategic plans, our expectations and objectives for future operations, as well as other future events or conditions. Such forward-looking statements are based on our examination of historical operating trends, the information used to prepare our December 31, 2014 reserve reports and other data in our possession or available from third parties. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Consequently, actual future results could differ materially from our expectations due to a number of factors, such as changes in the supply of and demand for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) and related products and services; exploration or drilling programs; our ability to successfully complete mergers, acquisitions and divestitures; political or regulatory events; general economic and financial market conditions; and other risks and factors discussed in this report, our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the SEC.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Devon Energy Corporation, or persons acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. We assume no duty to update or revise our forward-looking statements based on new information, future events or otherwise.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and notes of Devon Energy Corporation (“Devon”, “we”, “us” or “our”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) have been omitted. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in Devon’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements furnished in this report reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of Devon’s results of operations and cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and Devon’s financial position as of June 30, 2015.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards not yet Adopted

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU provides guidance concerning the recognition and measurement of revenue from contracts with customers. Its objective is to increase the usefulness of information in the financial statements regarding the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenues. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning in 2018 and is required to be adopted using either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method, with early adoption permitted in 2017. Devon has not yet selected a transition method and is evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. This ASU provides additional guidance to reporting entities in evaluating whether certain legal entities, such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations and securitization structures, should be consolidated. The ASU is considered to be an improvement on current accounting requirements as it reduces the number of existing consolidation models. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning in 2016 and is required to be adopted using a retrospective or modified retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted. Devon is evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Topic 835): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This ASU requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability rather than as an asset. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning in 2016 and is required to be applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. Devon does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

2. Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisition of GeoSouthern and Formation of EnLink

On February 28, 2014, Devon completed its acquisition of interests in certain affiliates of GeoSouthern Energy Corporation (“GeoSouthern”). On March 7, 2014, Devon, Crosstex Energy, Inc. and Crosstex Energy, LP (together with Crosstex Energy, Inc., “Crosstex”) completed a business combination to combine substantially all of Devon’s U.S. midstream assets with Crosstex’s assets to form a new midstream business. The new business consists of EnLink Midstream, LLC (the “General Partner”) and EnLink Midstream Partners, LP (“EnLink”), which are both controlled by Devon and are publicly traded entities.

EnLink Dropdowns

In February 2015, EnLink acquired a 25% equity interest in EnLink Midstream Holdings, LP (“EMH”) from the General Partner in exchange for units valued at approximately $925 million. In May 2015, EnLink acquired the remaining 25% equity interest in EMH from the General Partner in exchange for units valued at approximately $900 million.

In April 2015, EnLink acquired the Victoria Express Pipeline and related truck terminal and storage assets (“VEX”) from Devon for approximately $180 million in cash and equity, subject to certain adjustments. EnLink also assumed approximately $35 million in certain future construction costs to expand the system to full capacity.

Asset Divestitures

In the second quarter of 2014, Devon sold Canadian conventional assets for $2.8 billion ($3.125 billion Canadian dollars) and recognized a gain totaling $1.1 billion ($0.6 billion after-tax). This gain is included as a separate item in the accompanying consolidated comprehensive statements of earnings. Included in the gain calculation were asset retirement obligations of approximately $700 million assumed by the purchaser as well as the derecognition of approximately $700 million of goodwill allocated to the sold assets. In conjunction with the divestiture, Devon repatriated approximately $2.8 billion of proceeds to the U.S. in the second quarter of 2014, which were utilized to repay commercial paper and term loan balances. Between collecting the divestiture proceeds and repatriating funds to the U.S., Devon recognized an $84 million foreign currency exchange loss and a $29 million foreign currency derivative loss. These losses are included in other nonoperating items in the accompanying consolidated comprehensive statements of earnings.

3. Derivative Financial Instruments

Objectives and Strategies

Devon periodically enters into derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of its oil, gas and NGL production to hedge future prices received. Additionally, Devon and EnLink periodically enter into derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of their oil, gas and NGL marketing activities. These commodity derivative financial instruments include financial price swaps, basis swaps, costless price collars and call options. Devon periodically enters into interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate volatility. Devon periodically enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates.

Devon does not intend to hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes and has elected not to designate any of its derivative instruments for hedge accounting treatment.

Counterparty Credit Risk

By using derivative financial instruments, Devon is exposed to credit risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. To mitigate this risk, the hedging instruments are placed with a number of counterparties whom Devon believes are acceptable credit risks. It is Devon’s policy to enter into derivative contracts only with investment-grade rated counterparties deemed by management to be competent and competitive market makers. Additionally, Devon’s derivative contracts contain provisions that provide for collateral payments, depending on levels of exposure and the credit rating of the counterparty.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Devon held $189 million and $524 million, respectively, of cash collateral which represented the estimated fair value of certain derivative positions in excess of Devon’s credit guidelines. The collateral is reported in other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Commodity Derivatives

As of June 30, 2015, Devon had the following open oil derivative positions. The first table presents Devon’s oil derivatives that settle against the average of the prompt month NYMEX West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) futures price. The second table presents Devon’s oil derivatives that settle against the Western Canadian Select, West Texas Sour and Midland Sweet indices.

4. Share-Based Compensation

The following table presents the effects of share-based compensation included in Devon’s accompanying consolidated comprehensive statements of earnings. Devon’s gross general and administrative expense for the first six months of 2015 and 2014 includes $18 million and $6 million, respectively, of unit-based compensation related to grants made under EnLink’s long-term incentive plans.

The vesting for certain share-based awards was accelerated in the first quarter of 2014 in conjunction with the divestiture of Devon’s Canadian conventional assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, approximately $15 million of associated expense for these accelerated awards is included in restructuring costs in the accompanying consolidated comprehensive statements of earnings.

As of June 30, 2015, Devon’s unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested units was $64 million. Such cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan

In the second quarter of 2015, Devon’s stockholders approved the 2015 Plan. The 2015 Plan replaces the 2009 Plan. From the effective date of the 2015 Plan, no further awards may be made under the 2009 Plan, and awards previously granted will continue to be governed by the terms of the 2009 Plan. Subject to the terms of the 2015 Plan, awards may be made under the 2015 Plan for a total of 28 million shares of Devon common stock, plus the number of shares available for issuance under the 2009 Plan (including shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2009 Plan that are subsequently forfeited, cancelled or expire). The 2015 Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee, which consists of independent, non-management members of Devon’s Board of Directors, to grant nonqualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock awards or units, Canadian restricted stock units, performance awards or units and stock appreciation rights to eligible employees. The 2015 Plan also authorizes the grant of nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards or units and stock appreciation rights to non-employee directors. To calculate the number of shares that may be granted in awards under the 2015 Plan, options and stock appreciation rights represent one share and other awards represent three shares.

EnLink Share-Based Awards

In March 2015, the General Partner and EnLink issued restricted incentive units as bonus payments to officers and certain employees for 2014. The combined grant fair value was $7 million, and the total cost was recognized in the first quarter of 2015 due to the awards vesting immediately.

As of June 30, 2015, the General Partner and EnLink both had unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted incentive units of $24 million. Such cost is expected to be recognized for the General Partner and EnLink over a weighted-average period of 1.9 and 2.0 years, respectively. Additionally, the General Partner and EnLink both had unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested performance units of $4 million. Such cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years for both the General Partner and EnLink.

Oil and Gas Impairments

Under the full cost method of accounting, capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, net of accumulated DD&A and deferred income taxes, may not exceed the full cost “ceiling” at the end of each quarter. The ceiling is calculated separately for each country and is based on the present value of estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, discounted at 10% per annum, net of related tax effects. Estimated future net cash flows are calculated using end-of-period costs and an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of each of the previous 12 months.

The oil and gas impairments resulted from a decline in the U.S. full cost ceiling. This lower ceiling value resulted from decreases in the 12-month average trailing prices for oil, gas and NGLs, which reduced proved reserves and proved reserves values.

 

6. Income Taxes

Devon estimates its annual effective income tax rate in recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. Statutory tax rate changes and other significant or unusual items are recognized as discrete items in the quarter in which they occur.

In the second quarter of 2015, Devon recognized $57 million of income tax benefits in conjunction with favorable tax settlements. In addition, changes in statutory tax rates in Texas and the province of Alberta, Canada resulted in a net increase to deferred tax expense of $44 million.

Devon and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income or capital taxes in various state and foreign jurisdictions. Devon’s tax reserves are related to tax years that may be subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority. Devon is under audit in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions as part of its normal course of business.

In the second quarter of 2014, Devon recognized $247 million of additional income tax expense related to the $2.8 billion of repatriations to the U.S. Prior to the repatriation, Devon had recognized a $143 million deferred income tax liability associated with the planned repatriation. When the repatriation was made, Devon retained a larger property basis in Canada than was previously estimated, resulting in the incremental tax in the second quarter.

In the first quarter of 2014, Devon recorded a $48 million deferred tax liability in conjunction with the formation of the General Partner, which impacted the effective tax rate as reflected in the table above.

Long-Term Debt

In June 2015, Devon issued $750 million of 5.0% senior notes that are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. Devon intends to use the net proceeds to repay the aggregate principal amount of the floating rate senior notes due 2015, when they mature on December 15, 2015. Pending that use, part of the net proceeds have been used to repay a portion of outstanding commercial paper balances.

Commercial Paper

As of June 30, 2015, Devon had $170 million outstanding commercial paper borrowings at an average rate of 0.45%.

Credit Lines

Devon has a $3.0 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Senior Credit Facility”). As of June 30, 2015, there were no borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. The Senior Credit Facility contains only one material financial covenant. This covenant requires Devon’s ratio of total funded debt to total capitalization, as defined in the credit agreement, to be no greater than 65%. As of June 30, 2015, Devon was in compliance with this covenant with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 22.1%.

EnLink Debt

All of EnLink’s and the General Partner’s debt is non-recourse to Devon.

EnLink has a $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2015, there were $2.9 million in outstanding letters of credit and $150 million outstanding borrowings at an average rate of 1.62% under the $1.5 billion credit facility, leaving approximately $1.3 billion available for future borrowing.

The General Partner has a $250 million revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2015, the General Partner had no outstanding borrowings under the $250 million credit facility. EnLink and the General Partner were in compliance with all financial covenants as of June 30, 2015.

In May 2015, EnLink issued $900 million principal amount of unsecured senior notes, consisting of $750 million principal amount of its 4.15% senior notes due 2025 and an additional $150 million principal amount of its 5.05% senior notes due 2045. EnLink used the net proceeds to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility, for capital expenditures and for general partnership purposes.

15. Stockholders’ Equity

Dividends

Devon paid common stock dividends of $197 million and $189 million in the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Devon increased the quarterly cash dividend rate from $0.22 per share to $0.24 per share in the second quarter of 2014.

Stock Option Proceeds

Devon received $4 million and $83 million from stock option proceeds during the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

16. Noncontrolling Interests

Subsidiary Equity Transactions

In March 2015, Devon conducted an underwritten secondary public offering of 22.8 million common units representing limited partner interests in EnLink, raising net proceeds of approximately $569 million. In April 2015, as part of the secondary public offering, the underwriters fully exercised their option to purchase an additional 3.4 million EnLink common units from Devon, resulting in an incremental $85 million of net proceeds raised.

As a result of these transactions and the Coronado acquisition and dropdown transactions discussed in Note 2, Devon’s ownership interest in EnLink decreased from 49% at December 31, 2014 to 29% at June 30, 2015, excluding the interest held by the General Partner. The net gains and losses and related income taxes resulting from these transactions have been recorded as an adjustment to equity, and the change in ownership reflected as an adjustment to noncontrolling interests.

Distributions to Noncontrolling Interests

EnLink and the General Partner distributed $118 million and $141 million to non-Devon unitholders during the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

17. Commitments and Contingencies

Devon is party to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Matters that are probable of unfavorable outcome to Devon and which can be reasonably estimated are accrued. Such accruals are based on information known about the matters, Devon’s estimates of the outcomes of such matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. None of the actions are believed by management to involve future amounts that would be material to Devon’s financial position or results of operations after consideration of recorded accruals. Actual amounts could differ materially from management’s estimates.

Royalty Matters

Numerous oil and natural gas producers and related parties, including Devon, have been named in various lawsuits alleging royalty underpayments. The suits allege that the producers and related parties used below-market prices, made improper deductions, used improper measurement techniques and entered into gas purchase and processing arrangements with affiliates that resulted in underpayment of royalties in connection with oil, natural gas and NGLs produced and sold. Devon is also involved in governmental agency proceedings and is subject to related contracts and regulatory controls in the ordinary course of business, some that may lead to additional royalty claims. Devon does not currently believe that it is subject to material exposure with respect to such royalty matters.

Environmental Matters

Devon is subject to certain laws and regulations relating to environmental remediation activities associated with past operations, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act and similar state statutes. In response to liabilities associated with these activities, loss accruals primarily consist of estimated uninsured remediation costs. Devon’s monetary exposure for environmental matters is not expected to be material.

Other Matters

Devon is involved in other various routine legal proceedings incidental to its business. However, to Devon’s knowledge, there were no other material pending legal proceedings to which Devon is a party or to which any of its property is subject.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values in the tables above.

Level 1 Fair Value Measurements

Cash equivalents – Amounts consist primarily of money market investments. The fair value approximates the carrying value.

Level 2 Fair Value Measurements

Cash equivalents – Amounts consist primarily of Canadian agency and provincial securities and commercial paper investments. The fair value approximates the carrying value.

Commodity, interest rate and foreign currency derivatives – The fair values of commodity, interest rate and foreign currency derivatives are estimated using internal discounted cash flow calculations based upon forward curves and data obtained from independent third parties for contracts with similar terms or data obtained from counterparties to the agreements.

Debt – Devon’s debt instruments do not actively trade in an established market. The fair values of its debt are estimated based on rates available for debt with similar terms and maturity. The fair values of commercial paper and credit facility balances are the carrying values.

Capital lease obligations – The fair value was calculated using inputs from third-party banks.

19. Segment Information

Devon manages its operations through distinct operating segments, which are defined primarily by geographic areas. For financial reporting purposes, Devon aggregates its U.S. exploration and production operating segments into one reporting segment due to the similar nature of the businesses. However, Devon’s Canadian exploration and production operating segment is reported as a separate reporting segment primarily due to the significant differences between the U.S. and Canadian regulatory environments. Devon’s U.S. and Canadian segments are both primarily engaged in oil and gas exploration and production activities.

EnLink, combined with the General Partner, is presented as a separate reporting segment. Devon considers EnLink’s operations distinct from the U.S. and Canadian operating segments. Additionally, EnLink has a management team that is primarily responsible for capital and resource allocation decisions.

(1) Due to Devon’s control of EnLink through its control of the General Partner, the acquisition of VEX by EnLink from Devon was considered a transfer of net assets between entities under common control, and EnLink was required to recast its financial statements as of June 30, 2015 to include the activities of such assets from the date of common control. Therefore, the results of VEX for prior periods have been moved from the U.S. segment to the EnLink segment.

(1) Core earnings and core earnings per share attributable to Devon are financial measures not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). For a description of core earnings and core earnings per share attributable to Devon, as well as reconciliations to the comparable GAAP measures, see “Non-GAAP Measures” in this Item 2.

The downward pressure on crude oil prices that began in the second half of 2014 continued to impact results into the first half of 2015. As compared to the second quarter of 2014 and first six months of 2014, the WTI index decreased 44% and 47%, respectively. Additionally, natural gas and NGL pricing continues to be challenged. As a result, our net earnings attributable to Devon, core earnings attributable to Devon and core earnings per share attributable to Devon for the second quarter and first six months of 2015 decreased significantly compared to the same periods in 2014.

We expect that our industry will continue to be challenged by lower commodity prices. However, we have strategically positioned our company so that we can prudently continue investing in our portfolio of assets. Even with the recent downturn in commodity prices, we are still in a financially strong position, as detailed below.

 

    Over half of our projected oil production for the remainder of 2015 is hedged at an average price of approximately $88 per barrel.

 

    Approximately 45% of our projected gas production for the remainder of 2015 is hedged at an average price of approximately $4 per Mcf.

 

    EnLink enhances our financial optionality. We received approximately $800 million from the sale of EnLink units and unit distributions in the first half of 2015. Additionally, we dropped VEX into EnLink, receiving approximately $180 million in cash and equity.

(1) The prices presented exclude any effects due to oil, gas and NGL derivatives.
(2) The reported Canadian gas volumes include 12 and 19 MMcf per day for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 13 and 29 MMcf per day for the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively, that are produced from certain of our leases and then transported to our Jackfish operations where the gas is used as fuel. However, the revenues and expenses related to this consumed gas are eliminated in our consolidated financial results. With the sale of the vast majority of the Canadian gas business in the second quarter of 2014, the eliminated gas revenues subsequently impacted our gas price more significantly.

Oil, gas and NGL sales increased $336 and $705 million due to volumes in the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively. The increases were primarily driven by a rise in our oil production for both periods, which was due to the continued development of our Eagle Ford, Permian Basin and Rockies properties. Additionally, our bitumen production increased in both periods, primarily due to Jackfish 3 coming on-line late in 2014. Lower royalties resulting from the significant decrease in prices also increased our heavy oil production. The increases were partially offset by a decrease in our gas production, which resulted primarily from asset divestitures in 2014.

Oil, gas and NGL sales decreased $1.4 and $3.0 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, due to significant price decreases for all commodities. The decrease in oil and bitumen sales for both periods resulted from lower average WTI index prices, which were 44% lower than the second quarter of 2014 and 47% lower than the first six months of 2014. The decreases in gas and NGL sales were due to lower North American regional index prices upon which our gas sales are based and lower NGL prices at the Mont Belvieu, Texas hub.

(1) Cash settlements of oil hedges include settlements from our Western Canadian Select basis swaps presented in Note 3 to the financial statements included in “Part 1. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” of this report.

Cash settlements as presented in the tables above represent realized gains or losses related to various commodity derivatives. In addition to cash settlements, we also recognize fair value changes on our commodity derivatives in each reporting period. The changes in fair value result from new positions and settlements that occur during each period, as well as the relationships between contract prices and the associated forward curves. Including the cash settlements discussed above, our commodity derivatives incurred net losses of $282 and $399 million in the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Including the cash settlements discussed above, our commodity derivatives generated a net gain of $12 million and incurred a net loss of $719 million in the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

During the second quarter and first six months of 2015, marketing and midstream operating profit increased $1 and $11 million, respectively, primarily due to EnLink operations. EnLink’s acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2014 and the first six months of 2015 were the primary drivers of the increased operating profit.

   $ 9.16       $ 9.58         - 4%      $ 9.07       $ 9.60         - 6%  

LOE per Boe decreased 4% and 6% during the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to lower lease and maintenance expenses, lower royalties and changes in the foreign exchange rate. As Canadian royalties decrease, our net production volumes increase, causing improvements to our per-unit operating costs. The decrease in Canadian unit costs was partially offset by the sale of lower-cost conventional assets during 2014. Further, the impact of the Canadian decrease to total unit costs was partially offset by higher unit costs in the U.S. primarily related to our oil production growth, where projects generate higher revenues but generally require a higher cost to produce per unit than our gas projects.

Table of Contents

Gross G&A, net G&A and net G&A per Boe increased during the second quarter and first six months of 2015 largely due to an increase in EnLink G&A of approximately $28 million year-over-year combined with higher Devon employee costs. Net G&A also increased from lower reimbursements subsequent to our 2014 asset divestitures. These increases were partially offset by $22 million in one-time costs related to the EnLink and GeoSouthern transactions in the first quarter of 2014.

Our absolute production and property taxes decreased during the second quarter and first six months of 2015 primarily due to a decrease in our U.S. revenues, on which the majority of our production taxes are assessed. Production and property taxes as a percentage of oil, gas and NGL sales increased during the second quarter and first six months of 2015 primarily due to ad valorem and other taxes that do not change in direct correlation with oil, gas and NGL sales.

DD&A from our oil and gas properties decreased in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014 largely due to lower DD&A rates, as a result of the asset impairment recognized in the first quarter of 2015. DD&A from our oil and gas properties increased for the first six months of 2015 compared to the first six months of 2014 largely due to higher DD&A rates resulting from our oil and gas drilling and development activities and the 2014 GeoSouthern acquisition. This increase was partially offset by the 2014 divestitures of certain U.S. and Canadian assets and the asset impairment recognized in the first quarter of 2015. Other DD&A increased primarily due to EnLink’s acquisitions in 2014 and the first six months of 2015.

Operating Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities (“operating cash flow”) was a significant source of capital in the first six months of 2015. Our operating cash flow decreased 21% primarily due to lower commodity prices. The effect of lower prices was partially offset by the collection of $425 million of income taxes receivable in the first quarter of 2015.

Excluding payments made for acquisitions, our operating cash flow funded approximately 87% and 100% of our capital expenditures during the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Leveraging our liquidity, we used cash balances, short-term debt and proceeds from the sale of EnLink common units to fund the remainder of our cash-based capital expenditures.

Sale of Subsidiary Units

In March 2015, we conducted an underwritten secondary public offering of 22.8 million common units representing limited partner interests in EnLink, raising proceeds of approximately $569 million, net of an underwriting discount. Additionally, in April 2015, as part of the secondary public offering, underwriters fully exercised their option to purchase an additional 3.4 million EnLink common units from Devon, resulting in an incremental $85 million of net proceeds raised. 

Divestitures of Property and Equipment

In the first six months of 2014, we sold certain Canadian assets and received proceeds totaling $2.9 billion.

Capital expenditures consist of amounts related to our oil and gas exploration and development operations, midstream operations, other corporate activities and EnLink growth and maintenance activities. The vast majority of Devon’s capital expenditures are for the acquisition, drilling and development of oil and gas properties. In response to lower commodity prices, Devon’s 2015 capital program is designed to be lower than 2014, particularly the second half of 2014 when oil prices began to significantly decline. This change is evidenced by a 15% decrease in exploration and development costs from the fourth quarter of 2014 to the first quarter of 2015 as well as a 21% decrease from the first quarter of 2015 to the second quarter of 2015.

Capital expenditures for Devon’s midstream operations are primarily for the construction and expansion of oil and gas gathering facilities and pipelines. Midstream capital expenditures are largely impacted by Devon’s oil and gas drilling activities. EnLink’s expenditures were primarily related to the acquisition of additional oil and gas pipeline assets.

Debt Activity, Net

In June 2015, we issued $750 million of 5.0% senior notes that are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Devon. We intend to use these proceeds to repay the aggregate principal amount of our floating rate senior notes due 2015, when they mature on December 15, 2015. Pending that use, part of these proceeds have been used to repay a portion of outstanding commercial paper balances. Our net debt borrowings increased $767 million, which was primarily due to EnLink borrowings made to fund acquisitions and dropdowns.

During the first six months of 2014, we decreased our debt borrowings $1.1 billion. The decrease was the net impact of repaying our $500 million senior notes upon maturity, reducing commercial paper balances by $862 million primarily with repatriated Canadian divestiture proceeds and EnLink borrowings of $235 million.

Shareholder and Noncontrolling Interests Distributions

The following table summarizes our common stock dividends during the first six months of 2015 and 2014. In the second quarter of 2014, we increased our quarterly dividend to $0.24 per share.

Table of Contents

EnLink and the General Partner distributed $118 and $141 million to non-Devon unitholders during the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Stock Option Proceeds

We received $4 million and $83 million from stock option proceeds during the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Liquidity

Historically, our primary sources of capital and liquidity have been our operating cash flow and cash on hand. Additionally, we maintain a commercial paper program, supported by our revolving line of credit, which can be accessed as needed to supplement operating cash flow and cash balances. Other available sources of capital and liquidity include, among other things, debt and equity securities that can be issued pursuant to our shelf registration statement filed with the SEC, as well as the sale of a portion of our common units representing interests in our EnLink investment and asset dropdowns to EnLink in exchange for cash. We estimate the combination of these sources of capital will continue to be adequate to fund future capital expenditures, debt repayments and other contractual commitments.

Operating Cash Flow

Our operating cash flow is sensitive to many variables, the most volatile of which are the prices of the oil, gas and NGLs we produce and sell. Our operating cash flow decreased 21% in the first six months of 2015 compared to the first six months of 2014 as a result of the significant decrease in commodity prices. In spite of this decline, we expect operating cash flow to continue to be our primary source of liquidity as we adjust our capital program in response to lower commodity prices. To mitigate some of the risk inherent in prices, we have utilized various derivative financial instruments to set minimum and maximum prices on a portion of our 2015 production. The key terms to our open oil, gas and NGL derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2015 are presented in Note 3 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report. Additionally, we anticipate utilizing our credit availability to provide additional liquidity as needed.

Credit Availability

As of June 30, 2015, we had $3.0 billion of available capacity under the Senior Credit Facility, net of letters of credit outstanding. This credit facility supports our $3.0 billion commercial paper program. At June 30, 2015, we had $170 million of outstanding commercial paper borrowings.

The Senior Credit Facility contains only one material financial covenant. This covenant requires us to maintain a ratio of total funded debt to total capitalization, as defined in the credit agreement, to be no greater than 65%. As of June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with this covenant with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 22.1%.

EnLink Capital Resources and Expenditures

EnLink has a $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, and the General Partner has a $250 million revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2015, there were $2.9 million in outstanding letters of credit and $150 million outstanding borrowings under the $1.5 billion credit facility, and there were no outstanding borrowings under the $250 million credit facility.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Full Cost Method of Accounting and Proved Reserves

We perform a full cost ceiling impairment test each quarter for our U.S. and Canadian oil and gas properties. These ceiling tests for the first two quarters of 2015 resulted in our recognizing ceiling impairments on our U.S. properties totaling $9.6 billion. No impairments were required for our Canadian properties. Our Canadian ceiling exceeded the associated costs to be recovered by approximately 15% at June 30, 2015.

Depending on the relationship between our capitalized costs and calculated full cost ceiling at the time of the most recent ceiling test performed, uncertain future prices limit our ability to predict and measure potential future full cost impairments. However, because the ceiling test computation uses a 12-month trailing price to determine future cash flows, we can typically predict when circumstances will result in future impairments that are material, particularly in the next one to two quarters. However, due to the nature of estimating future cash flows, measuring any potential impairments is more difficult.

 

35


Table of Contents

Based on prices from the fourth quarter of 2014, the first six months of 2015 and the short-term pricing outlook for the remainder of 2015, we expect to recognize additional U.S. full cost impairments in both the third and fourth quarters of 2015. These impairments will be material to our net earnings, but we estimate they will not be as large as the impairments we recognized in the first half of 2015. Canadian determinations are more difficult for us to make. In addition to short-term pricing outlooks, Canadian determinations are also impacted by foreign exchange rates and many other factors that affect royalties in Canada. Based on our current outlook of these factors, we may also recognize Canadian full cost ceiling test impairments in both the third and fourth quarters of 2015, which would likely be material to our net earnings. Our full cost impairments will have no impact to our cash flow or liquidity.

Goodwill

Devon conducts its annual goodwill impairment test at October 31, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances dictate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. As a result of the October 31, 2014 impairment test, the fair value of the EnLink Louisiana reporting unit was not substantially in excess of its carrying value. The fair value of this reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 14%. As of June 30, 2015, the EnLink Louisiana reporting unit had $787 million of allocated goodwill. Qualitative analysis performed as of June 30, 2015 noted no substantial decline in Louisiana reporting unit operations that would indicate an impairment. Significant decreases to EnLink’s unit price, decreases in commodity prices or negative deviations from EnLink’s projected Louisiana reporting unit earnings could result in a goodwill impairment charge. A goodwill impairment charge would have no effect on liquidity or capital resources. However, it would adversely affect our results of operations in that period.

Non-GAAP Measures

We make reference to “core earnings attributable to Devon” and “core earnings per share attributable to Devon” in “Overview of 2015 Results” in this Item 2 that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures. Core earnings attributable to Devon, as well as the per share amount, represent net earnings excluding certain noncash or non-recurring items that are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of our financial results. Our non-GAAP measures are typically used as a quarterly performance measure. Amounts excluded for the first six months of 2015 relate to derivatives and financial instrument fair value changes and noncash asset impairments. Amounts excluded for the first six months of 2014 relate to derivatives and financial instrument fair value changes, our Canadian divestiture program, related gains on asset sales and related repatriation, deferred income tax on the formation of the General Partner and restructuring costs. We believe these non-GAAP measures facilitate comparisons of our performance to earnings estimates published by securities analysts. We also believe these non-GAAP measures can facilitate comparisons of our performance between periods and to the performance of our peers.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Commodity Price Risk

We have commodity derivatives that pertain to a portion of our production for the last six months of 2015, as well as 2016 and 2017. The key terms to our open oil, gas and NGL derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2015 are presented in Note 3 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report.

The fair values of our commodity derivatives are largely determined by estimates of the forward curves of the relevant price indices. At June 30, 2015, a 10% change in the forward curves associated with our commodity derivative instruments would have changed our net asset positions by the following amounts:

 

     10% Increase    10% Decrease
Gain (loss):    (Millions)

Gas derivatives

     $ (39 )      $ 38  

Oil derivatives

     $     (157 )      $      156  

Processing and fractionation derivatives

     $ (3 )      $ 3  

Interest Rate Risk

At June 30, 2015, we had total debt outstanding of $12 billion. Of this amount, $10.9 billion bears fixed interest rates averaging 5.3%. The remaining $1.1 billion of debt is comprised of floating rate debt that at June 30, 2015 had rates averaging 0.84%.

As of June 30, 2015, we had open interest rate swap positions that are presented in Note 3 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report. The fair values of our interest rate swaps are largely determined by estimates of the forward curves of the 3 month LIBOR rate. A 10% change in these forward curves would not have materially impacted our balance sheet at June 30, 2015.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our net assets, net earnings and cash flows from our Canadian subsidiaries are based on the U.S. dollar equivalent of such amounts measured in the Canadian dollar functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the Canadian subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate as of the end of a reporting period. Revenues, expenses and cash flow are translated using an average exchange rate during the reporting period. A 10% unfavorable change in the Canadian-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate would not have materially impacted our balance sheet at June 30, 2015.

Our non-Canadian foreign subsidiaries have a U.S. dollar functional currency. However, one of these foreign subsidiaries holds Canadian-dollar cash and engages in short-term intercompany loans with Canadian subsidiaries that are based in Canadian dollars. The value of the Canadian-dollar cash and intercompany loans increases or decreases from the remeasurement of the cash and loans into the U.S. dollar functional currency. Additionally, at June 30, 2015, we held foreign currency exchange forward contracts to hedge exposures to fluctuations in exchange rates on the Canadian-dollar cash and intercompany loans. The increase or decrease in the value of the forward contracts is offset by the increase or decrease to the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Canadian-dollar cash and intercompany loans. Based on the amount of the cash and intercompany loans as of June 30, 2015, a 10% change in the foreign currency exchange rates would not have materially impacted our balance sheet.

(1) Share repurchases represent shares received by us from employees and directors for the payment of personal income tax withholding on vesting of awards and exercises of stock options.

Under the Devon Energy Corporation Incentive Savings Plan (the “Plan”), eligible employees may purchase shares of our common stock through an investment in the Devon Stock Fund (the “Stock Fund”), which is administered by an independent trustee. Eligible employees purchased approximately 13,500 shares of our common stock in the second quarter of 2015, at then-prevailing stock prices, that they held through their ownership in the Stock Fund. We acquired the shares of our common stock sold under the Plan through open-market purchases.

Similarly, under the Devon Canada Corporation Savings Plan (the “Canadian Plan”), eligible Canadian employees may purchase shares of our common stock through an investment in the Canadian Plan, which is administered by an independent trustee, Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada. Shares sold under the Canadian Plan were acquired through open-market purchases. These shares and any interest in the Canadian Plan were offered and sold in reliance on the exemptions for offers and sales of securities made outside of the U.S., including under Regulation S for offers and sales of securities to employees pursuant to an employee benefit plan established and administered in accordance with the law of a country other than the U.S. In the second quarter of 2015, there were no shares purchased by Canadian employees.
