the domestic and worldwide supply of and demand for oil, gas and [removed: NGLs, including the impact of releases from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve;][added: NGLs;]
geopolitical risks, including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the [removed: Israel-Hamas conflict] [added: Israel-Gaza] and [added: Hezbollah conflicts and] hostilities in Yemen and the Red Sea, as well as other hostilities or political and civil unrest in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and South America;
adverse weather conditions, natural [removed: disasters, public health crises] [added: disasters] and other catastrophic events, such as tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes and [removed: epidemics] [added: acts] of [removed: infectious diseases;][added: terrorism;]
the overall economic environment, including inflationary pressures and [removed: rising] [added: fluctuations in] interest rates;
changes in trade relations and policies, such as [removed: restrictions on oil, gas and NGL exports] [added: (i) the imposition of tariffs] by the [removed: U.S.] [added: U.S., China] or [added: other countries, (ii) environmental performance standards or similar fossil fuel import restrictions in certain international markets, (iii)] economic sanctions, including embargoes, on Russia or other producing [removed: countries, as well as the imposition of tariffs] [added: countries or (iv) restrictions on oil, gas and NGL exports] by the [removed: U.S. or China;] [added: U.S.;] and
While both exploratory and developmental drilling activities involve these risks, exploratory drilling involves greater risks of dry holes or [added: failure to find commercial quantities of hydrocarbons.]
shortages or delays in the availability of services or delivery of [added: material or] equipment.
In addition, our hedging arrangements may expose us to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances, [removed: including instances in which the contract counterparties fail to perform under the contracts.]
We have limited influence and control over the operation or future development of such properties and investments, including compliance with [removed: environmental, health and safety] [added: EHS] regulations or the amount and timing of required future [added: capital expenditures.]
We also compete for the equipment, [added: materials,] services and personnel required to explore, develop and operate properties, such as drilling [removed: rigs] [added: rigs, well materials] and oilfield services.
The rising costs and scarcity caused by this competitive pressure will generally increase during periods of higher commodity prices and can be further exacerbated by higher inflation rates and supply chain disruptions in the broader [removed: economy.][added: economy, including as a result of tariffs or changes in trade policy.]
For example, we experienced higher operating costs throughout 2023 due to steep cost [removed: inflation, and these inflationary pressures could continue in 2024.][added: inflation.]
Our operations are subject to extensive federal, state, tribal and local laws and regulations, including with respect to environmental matters, worker health and safety, [added: land and] wildlife conservation, the gathering and transportation of oil, gas and NGLs, [added: resource management and] conservation policies, reporting obligations, royalty payments, unclaimed property and the imposition of taxes.
If permits are [added: delayed or] not issued, or if unfavorable restrictions or conditions are imposed on our drilling or completion activities, we may not be able to conduct our operations as planned.
[removed: In that event, due to] operation of law, we may be required to assume such obligations, which could be material.
For example, [removed: President Biden and certain members of his administration and Congress] [added: various policy makers] have expressed support for, and have taken steps to implement, efforts to transition the economy away from fossil fuels and to promote stricter environmental regulations, and such proposals could impose new and more onerous burdens on our industry and business.
These and other regulatory and public policy developments could, among other things, restrict production levels, delay necessary permitting, impose [added: price controls, change environmental protection requirements, impose restrictions on pipelines or other necessary infrastructure, raise taxes, royalties and other amounts payable to governments or governmental agencies and otherwise increase our operating costs.]
*Federal Lands* – [removed: President Biden and certain members of his administration] [added: Federal policy makers] have [added: from time to time] expressed support for, and have taken steps to implement, additional regulation of oil and gas [removed: leasing and] [added: leasing,] permitting [added: and development] on federal lands.
[removed: In July 2023,] [added: For example,] the Department of [added: the] Interior [removed: released] [added: adopted] a [removed: proposed] [added: final] rule [added: in April 2024] revising various terms for future federal leases and wells, including [added: by enhancing] bonding [removed: requirements,] [added: requirements and increasing] royalty rates, rental rates and minimum [removed: bids, of the onshore federal oil and gas leasing program, integrating recommendations from the November 2021 report.][added: bids.]
While it is not possible at this time to predict the ultimate impact of these actions or any other future regulatory changes, [added: including] any [added: potential actions by the Trump Administration, any] additional restrictions or burdens on our ability to operate on federal lands could adversely impact our business in the Delaware and Powder River Basins, as well as other areas where we operate under federal leases.
[removed: *Seismic Activity*] [added: *Water Disposal*] – Earthquakes in southeastern New Mexico, western [removed: Texas, northern and central Oklahoma] [added: Texas] and elsewhere have prompted concerns about seismic activity and possible relationships with the oil and gas industry, particularly the disposal of wastewater in salt-water disposal wells.
For example, New Mexico implemented protocols [removed: in November 2021] requiring operators to take various actions with respect to salt-water disposal wells within a specified proximity of certain seismic activity, including a requirement to limit injection rates if the seismic event is of a certain magnitude.
Separately, the Railroad Commission of Texas has shown increasing regulatory focus on seismicity and the oil and gas industry in recent years, [removed: and has imposed limits on certain salt-water] [added: including by suspending all] disposal well [removed: activities in portions of] [added: permits that inject into deep strata within] the [removed: Delaware and Midland Basins.][added: Northern Culberson-Reeves area due to increasing seismicity concerns.]
These or similar actions directed at our operating areas could limit the takeaway capacity for produced water in the impacted area, which could increase our operating [removed: expense,] [added: expenses,] require us to curtail our development plans or otherwise adversely impact our operations.
[removed: *Changes to Tax Laws*] [added: *Tax Matters*] – We are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as [removed: income or] [added: income,] capital [added: and other] taxes in various [added: U.S.] state and foreign jurisdictions, and our operating cash flow is sensitive to the amount of [removed: income] taxes we must pay.
In the jurisdictions in which we [added: or any of our subsidiaries] operate or previously operated, income taxes are assessed on our earnings after consideration of all allowable deductions and credits.
Policy makers and regulators at both the U.S. federal and state levels have [removed: already] [added: from time to time] imposed, or stated intentions to impose, laws and regulations designed to quantify and limit the emission of GHG.
[removed: Moreover, in August 2022,] [added: Relatedly,] the IRA [removed: was passed into law, imposing] [added: imposed] a new charge or fee with respect to excess methane emissions from certain petroleum and natural gas facilities starting in 2024 and annually increasing through [removed: 2026.][added: 2026, and we cannot predict whether or how the Trump Administration may seek to revise or repeal these rules or the timing of any such actions.]
In addition to these federal efforts, [removed: several] [added: the] states where we [removed: operate, including New Mexico, Texas and Wyoming,] [added: operate] have already imposed, or stated intentions to impose, laws or regulations designed to reduce methane emissions from oil and gas exploration and production activities, including by mandating new leak detection and retrofitting requirements.
For example, the EPA [removed: proposed] [added: adopted] amendments in [removed: June 2022] [added: May 2024] to its [removed: Green House Gas] [added: GHG] Reporting Program, [removed: which would,] [added: which,] among other things, [removed: add] [added: added] well blowouts and other abnormal events as new categories of sources for GHG emissions reporting.
While we are [added: still] assessing the applicability of the [added: European Union directives and] California legislation and [removed: await further] [added: are awaiting resolution of the review of the] SEC [removed: rulemaking,] [added: climate change rules,] we would expect to incur substantial additional compliance costs to the extent these or similar disclosure requirements apply to us.
Additionally, public statements with respect to [removed: emissions reduction goals,] environmental targets [removed: or, more broadly,] [added: or other] ESG-related [removed: goals,] [added: goals] are becoming increasingly subject to heightened scrutiny from public and governmental [removed: authorities] [added: authorities, as well as other parties,] with respect to the risk of potential “greenwashing,” i.e., misleading information or false claims overstating potential ESG benefits.
Certain [added: regulators, such as the SEC and various state agencies, as well as] non-governmental organizations and other private actors have filed lawsuits under various securities and consumer protection laws alleging that certain [removed: ESG-statements] [added: ESG statements] were misleading, [removed: false,] [added: false] or otherwise deceptive.
[removed: Although the full impact of these actions is uncertain at this time, the adoption] [added: These] and [removed: implementation of these or] other initiatives [removed: may result in the restriction] [added: could negatively impact our business through restrictions] or [removed: cancellation] [added: cancellations] of oil and natural gas activities, greater costs of compliance or consumption (thereby reducing demand for our products) or an impairment in our ability to continue our operations in an economic manner.
Moreover, an increasing number of financial institutions, funds and other sources of capital have [removed: begun restricting] [added: restricted] or [removed: eliminating] [added: eliminated] their investment in oil and natural gas activities due to their concern regarding climate change.
Certain of these counterparties or their successors may experience insolvency, liquidity problems or other issues and may not be able to meet [added: their obligations and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) owed to, and assumed from, us, particularly during a depressed or volatile commodity price environment.]
As of December 31, [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] we had total indebtedness of [removed: $6.2] [added: $8.9] billion.
Any credit downgrades could adversely impact our ability to access financing and trade credit, require us to provide additional letters of credit or other assurances under contractual arrangements and increase our interest rate under the 2023 Senior Credit Facility [added: and the Term Loan,] as well as the cost of any other future debt.
We rely heavily on information [removed: systems] [added: systems, operational technologies] and other digital technologies to conduct our business, and we anticipate expanding the use of and reliance on these systems and technologies, including through artificial intelligence, process automation and data analytics.
Concurrent with the growing dependence on technology is a greater sensitivity to [removed: cyberattack related activities,] [added: cyberattacks and other cyber-related incidents,] which have increasingly targeted our industry.

pandemics (such as COVID-19) and epidemics of infectious diseases and other public health events, as well as any related governmental actions;

including instances in which the contract counterparties fail to perform under the contracts.
Although cost inflation moderated somewhat in 2024, such inflationary pressures could continue or increase in 2025.
In that event, due to

Moreover, non-governmental organizations, trade groups and other private parties have filed lawsuits challenging leasing, permitting and other regulatory decisions relating to our and other industry participants’ oil and gas development on federal lands, which, if successful, could further hinder development activities or otherwise adversely impact operations.
In addition, similar concerns have been raised about the potential connection between water disposal activities and certain surface uplift, subsidence and other ground movement in western Texas and other areas of industry activity.
Increased regulation and attention given to water disposal activities could lead to greater efforts, including through litigation, to limit or prohibit oil and gas
[Table of Contents](#toc_page)
activities relying on injection wells for produced water disposal.
Additionally, more generally, a change in any U.S. federal, state or local or foreign tax law, treaty, policy, statute, rule, regulation or ordinance, or in the interpretation thereof, in any jurisdiction in which we or any of our subsidiaries operate, or in which we or any of our subsidiaries are organized, could result in us incurring a materially higher tax expense, which would also adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
For example, the IRA included a 15% CAMT on certain financial statement income, and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has adopted a set of model international tax rules known as the “Pillar Two” framework, a central component of which is the imposition of a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15% on certain multinational enterprises.
While we are still assessing the potential impacts of the CAMT and the Pillar Two rules to our business, any incremental taxes attributable to CAMT, Pillar Two or any other tax law changes, or a change in our current interpretation thereof, could be significant and adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Moreover, we are regularly audited by tax authorities.
Although we believe our tax positions are reasonable and properly supported, if one or more of our tax positions are challenged by the IRS or other tax authorities (in a tax audit or otherwise), material cash payments or adjustments to tax expense may occur, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Fines and penalties for violations of these rules can be substantial.
The rules have been subject to legal challenge, although OOOOb is already in effect.
In addition, the SEC finalized rules in March 2024 that require public companies to include extensive climate-related disclosures in their SEC filings, such as new disclosures on (i) material Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions, including an independent assurance report, and (ii) financial statement information regarding the effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions.
In April 2024, the SEC stayed the effectiveness of these rules pending the completion of a judicial review of certain legal challenges.
The European Union has also recently adopted a set of policy initiatives, including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, which impose expansive sustainability reporting and due diligence requirements for both European Union and certain
[Table of Contents](#toc_page)
non-European Union companies.
At the international level, over 190 countries have signed the Paris Agreement, which requires member nations to submit non-binding GHG emissions reduction goals every five years.
Subsequent United Nations climate conferences have called for additional action to transition away from fossil fuels or otherwise reduce GHG emissions.
The Trump Administration re-withdrew the United States from the Paris Agreement in January 2025, and the United States’ participation in future United Nations climate-related efforts is unclear.
At the state level, there have been attempts to introduce legislation whereby certain entities found responsible for contributing toward climate change over a period of time are required to pay into a fund used for climate-related projects.
For example, in December 2024, New York passed its “Climate Superfund Law,” which provides for the assessment of a fee for emitters that have a sufficient nexus to the state and are found to have released more than one billion tons of carbon dioxide during 2000 through 2018.
Vermont passed a similar law in May 2024, and similar legislation has been proposed in California, Massachusetts and New Jersey.
We have been identified by New York as a potentially responsible party under the law; however, to date, we have not received any cost recovery demand.
Our Environmental Performance Targets and Other ESG Initiatives May Expose Us to Risks
We have developed, and may continue to develop, voluntary targets related to our ESG initiatives, including our environmental performance targets and strategy.
Any public statements related to these initiatives reflect our current plans and expectations and are not a guarantee the targets will be achieved or achieved on the currently anticipated timeline.
Additionally, such statements are often based on assumptions or hypothetical scenarios which are necessarily uncertain.
Our ability to achieve any targets is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, including market factors, unanticipated changes in societal behavior, capital constraints, the pace of technological advancement and governmental policies or priorities.
Moreover, as emission measurement protocols mature and related technologies continue to develop, we may be required to revise our emissions estimates and reduction goals or otherwise revise the strategies outlined in our ESG initiatives.
If our ESG initiatives do not meet our investors’ or other stakeholders’ evolving expectations and standards, investment in us may be viewed as less attractive and our reputation and business may be adversely impacted.

capital expenditures.
price controls, change environmental protection requirements, impose restrictions on pipelines or other necessary infrastructure, raise taxes, royalties and other amounts payable to governments or governmental agencies and otherwise increase our operating costs.
For example, President Biden issued an executive order in January 2021, imposing a near total pause on entering new oil and gas leases on public lands.
Although the pause on leasing was subsequently lifted in April 2022, the Department of the Interior issued a report on the federal leasing program in November 2021 that recommended various changes, including, among other things, enhancing bonding requirements and applying a more rigorous land-use planning process prior to leasing.
The IRA responded, in part, to the report’s recommendations by increasing onshore royalty rates on all new federal leases.
Legislative and regulatory initiatives intended to address these concerns may result in additional levels of regulation or other requirements that could lead to operational delays, increase our operating and compliance costs or otherwise adversely affect our operations.
For example, effective January 2024, the Railroad Commission suspended all disposal well permits that inject into deep strata within the Northern Culberson-Reeves area due to increasing seismicity concerns.
In addition, the IRA includes various changes to the federal tax laws beginning in 2023, including a new 15% CAMT imposed on certain financial statement income of “applicable corporations.” Incremental taxes attributable to the CAMT are possible and such taxes may be significant.
In addition, the SEC proposed rules in March 2022 that would require public companies to include extensive climate-related disclosures in their SEC filings.
Among other things, the proposed SEC rules, if adopted as written, would mandate disclosures on (i) GHG emissions, including Scope 3 emissions if material or part of a company’s emissions goal, (ii) financial impact and expenditure metrics relating to severe weather and climate change and (iii) a company’s use of scenario analysis and climate targets.
For example, the SEC has established a Climate and ESG Task Force in the Division of Enforcement to identify and address potential ESG-related misconduct, including greenwashing.
As a result, we may face increased litigation risks which could, in turn, lead to further negative sentiment against us and our industry.
In addition, President Biden has continued to highlight addressing climate change as a priority of his administration, and he previously released an energy plan calling for a number of sweeping changes to address climate change, including, among other measures, a national mobilization effort to achieve net-zero emissions for the U.S. economy by 2050, through increased use of renewable power, stricter fuel-efficiency standards and support for zero-emission vehicles.
President Biden issued a number of executive orders in January 2021 with the purpose of implementing certain of these changes, including the rejoining of the Paris Agreement.
President Biden subsequently announced a target of reducing economy-wide net GHG emissions in the U.S. by 50% to 52% below 2005 levels by 2030.
At the international level, the United States
and the European Union jointly announced the launch of a Global Methane Pledge at the 26th Conference of the Parties in 2021, pursuant to which over 130 participating countries have pledged to a collective goal of reducing global methane emissions by at least 30% from 2020 levels by 2030.
At the 28th Conference of the Parties in 2023, parties signed onto an agreement to transition “away from fossil fuels in energy systems in a just, orderly and equitable manner” and increase renewable energy capacity so as to achieve net zero by 2050, though no timeline for doing so was set.
More recently, in January 2024, the Biden Administration announced a temporary pause on any new approvals of liquified natural gas export projects, pending a Department of Energy review of its evaluation process for such authorizations.
their obligations and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) owed to, and assumed from, us, particularly during a depressed or volatile commodity price environment.
The increase in remote working practices may also increase the risk of cybersecurity incidents, both from deliberate attacks and unintentional events.
Geopolitical instability may also increase our cybersecurity risk.
Global Pandemics Have Previously and May in the Future Adversely Impact Our Business
Global pandemics and the actions taken by third parties, including, but not limited to, governmental authorities, businesses and consumers, in response to such pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, have previously adversely impacted and may in the future adversely impact the global economy, resulting in significant volatility in the oil and gas industry.
A continued, prolonged or a renewed period of reduced demand for oil and other commodities and other adverse impacts from a pandemic may adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Further, to the extent COVID-19 or any other pandemic adversely affects our business or the global economic conditions more generally, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this report.
Furthermore, the IRA imposed a 1% non-deductible U.S. federal excise tax (the “Stock Buyback Tax”) on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. corporations, such as Devon, after December 31, 2022.
The Biden Administration has proposed increasing the amount of the Stock Buyback Tax from 1% to 4%; however, it is unclear whether and when such a change in the amount of the Stock Buyback Tax could be enacted and take effect.

The following discussion and analyses primarily focus on [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] and [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] items and year-to-year comparisons between [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] and [removed: 2022.][added: 2023.]
Discussions of [removed: 2021] [added: 2022] items and year-to-year comparisons between [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] and [removed: 2021] [added: 2022] that are not included in this report can be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our [removed: [2022] [added: [2023] Annual Report on Form [removed: 10-K](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090012/000095017023002852/dvn-20221231.htm).][added: 10-K](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090012/000095017024021781/dvn-20231231.htm).]
Our operations are currently focused in [removed: five] [added: four] core areas: the Delaware Basin, [added: Rockies,] Eagle [removed: Ford, Anadarko Basin, Williston Basin] [added: Ford] and [removed: Powder River Basin.][added: Anadarko.]
[removed: We] [added: As evidenced by this acquisition, we] remain focused on building economic value by executing on our strategic priorities of moderating production growth, emphasizing capital and operational efficiencies, optimizing reinvestment rates to maximize free cash flow, maintaining low leverage, delivering cash returns to our shareholders and pursuing [removed: ESG] [added: operational] excellence.
Our recent performance highlights for these priorities include the following items for [removed: 2023:][added: 2024:]
Oil production totaled [removed: 320] [added: 347] MBbls/d, [removed: which is a 7%] [added: an 8%] increase year over year.
Through [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] completed approximately [removed: 77%] [added: 67%] of our authorized [removed: $3.0] [added: $5.0] billion share repurchase program, with approximately [removed: 45] [added: 69] million of our common shares repurchased for approximately [removed: $2.3] [added: $3.3] billion, or [removed: $51.05] [added: $48.46] per share, since inception of the plan.
Retired [removed: $242] [added: $472] million of senior notes.
Exited with [removed: $3.9] [added: $3.8] billion of liquidity, including [removed: $0.9] [added: $0.8] billion of cash.
Generated [removed: $6.5] [added: $6.6] billion of operating cash flow.
Including variable dividends, paid dividends of [removed: approximately $1.9 billion.][added: $937 million.]
Earnings attributable to Devon were [removed: $3.7] [added: $2.9] billion, or [removed: $5.84] [added: $4.56] per diluted share.
Core earnings (Non-GAAP) were [removed: $3.7] [added: $3.1] billion, or [removed: $5.71] [added: $4.82] per diluted share.
Our cash-return objectives remain focused on opportunistic share repurchases, funding our [removed: fixed and variable] dividends, repaying debt at upcoming maturities and building cash balances.
Commodity prices [removed: strengthened] [added: were strong] during 2022 as the continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic increased demand for oil and gas commodities, while economic sanctions imposed on Russia and restraint from OPEC+ on production [added: growth both simultaneously impacted the supply of these commodities.]
[removed: ][added: ]
[removed: ][added: ]
As we dependably generate strong cash flow results as shown above, we will continue to prioritize delivering cash returns to shareholders through share repurchases and [removed: our fixed plus variable dividend strategy] [added: dividends] while maintaining a strong liquidity position.
Since the inception of our authorized [removed: $3.0] [added: $5.0] billion share repurchase program, we have repurchased approximately [removed: 45] [added: 69] million common shares for approximately [removed: $2.3] [added: $3.3] billion, or [removed: $51.05] [added: $48.46] per share.
We also returned value to shareholders by paying dividends of [removed: approximately $1.9 billion] [added: $937 million] during [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
We exited [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] with [removed: $3.9] [added: $3.8] billion of liquidity, comprised of [removed: $0.9] [added: $0.8] billion of cash and $3.0 billion of available credit under our 2023 Senior Credit Facility.
We currently have [removed: $6.2] [added: $8.9] billion of debt outstanding, of which approximately [removed: $483] [added: $485] million is classified as short-term.
Additionally, to help mitigate the volatility of commodity prices and protect ourselves from downside risk, we currently have approximately 30% [removed: and 20%] of our anticipated [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] oil and gas production [removed: hedged, respectively.][added: hedged.]
In [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] Devon marked its [removed: 52nd] [added: 53rd] anniversary in the oil and gas business and its [removed: 35th] [added: 36th] year as a public company.
We generated [removed: nearly $6.5] [added: $6.6] billion of operating cash flow in [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] as a result of the strength of our portfolio of assets and our operational execution.
In [removed: line with this strategy,] [added: 2024,] we returned [removed: $2.8] [added: approximately $2.0] billion of cash to shareholders through [removed: fixed and variable] cash dividends and share [removed: repurchases] [added: repurchases, and will continue to prioritize this shareholder return strategy] in [removed: 2023.][added: 2025.]
[removed: For 2024, we] [added: We] are [removed: targeting approximately 70% of our free cash flow] [added: committed] to [removed: be returned] [added: returning cash] to shareholders through [removed: cash] dividends and share repurchases.
In [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] WTI oil prices averaged [removed: $77.62] [added: $75.79] per Bbl versus [removed: $94.39] [added: $77.62] per Bbl in [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] reflecting a downward trend as oil prices remained volatile even with continued capital discipline by global oil producers.
Henry Hub natural gas prices fell in [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] averaging [removed: $2.74] [added: $2.27] per Mcf compared to [removed: $6.65] [added: $2.74] per Mcf in [removed: 2022.][added: 2023.]
Our [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] cash flow is partly protected from commodity price volatility due to our current hedge position that covers approximately 30% of our anticipated oil [removed: volumes] and [removed: 20% of our anticipated] gas volumes.
Our commitment to capital discipline and capital efficiency remains unchanged with our [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] capital program.
Similar to [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] the majority of our [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] capital, or approximately [removed: 60%,] [added: 55%,] is expected to be focused on our highest returning oil play, the Delaware Basin.
The remainder of our [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] capital will continue to be deployed to our other core areas of Eagle Ford, [removed: Williston Basin,] Anadarko Basin and Powder River [removed: Basin but with a reduced activity level in some of these areas, particularly the Williston] Basin.
Due to our strategy of spending within cash flow, we expect to continue generating material amounts of free cash flow for [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
Our [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] net earnings were [removed: $3.8] [added: $2.9] billion, compared to net earnings of [removed: $6.0] [added: $3.8] billion for [removed: 2022.][added: 2023.]

On September 27, 2024, we acquired the Williston Basin business of Grayson Mill for total consideration of approximately $5.0 billion, consisting of $3.5 billion of cash and approximately 37.3 million shares of Devon common stock, including purchase price adjustments.
The acquisition will allow us to efficiently expand our oil production and operating scale, creating immediate and long-term, sustainable value to shareholders over time.
During 2024, oil and NGL prices remained stable from the prior year while gas prices decreased primarily due to warmer weather impacts and excess

supply.

Our portfolio benefited from the acquisition of Grayson Mill that allowed us to efficiently expand our oil production and operating scale while capturing a meaningful runway of highly economic drilling inventory.
The transaction created immediate value within our financial framework by delivering sustainable accretion to earnings and free cash flow.
Operating cash flow in 2024 remained consistent with 2023, despite a decline in commodity prices, due to operational outperformance, capital efficiency gains and the positive contributions from our Grayson Mill acquisition.
Oil is expected to remain volatile in 2025 due to geopolitical risks to supply, forecasted stronger non-OPEC supply, and improving global demand growth expectations.
For 2025, natural gas prices are expected to increase compared with 2024 prices due to increased demand, driven by rising LNG exports, strong powerburn as well as discipline from natural gas producers.
Our Williston Basin assets will receive additional capital allocation through 2025 as we work to develop the newly acquired Grayson Mill assets.
Our 2025 capital is expected to be approximately 7% higher than 2024 primarily due to increased activity in the Williston Basin.

DD&A increased in 2024 primarily due to higher volumes as well as an increase in the oil and gas DD&A rate.
The primary contributor to the higher DD&A rate was our 2023 drilling and development activity.
| | | 2024 | | | | 2023 | | | | Change | | |
G&A increased in 2024 primarily due to higher employee compensation, driven in part by inflationary adjustments and the Grayson Mill acquisition.
In the third quarter of 2022, we acquired additional producing properties and leasehold interests in both the Williston Basin and Eagle Ford that were complementary to our existing acreage, offered operational synergies and added additional high-quality inventory to our portfolio.
Moving forward into 2024, we plan to refine our capital allocation by further concentrating investment in the Delaware Basin.
By shifting more capital to the core of this world-class basin and high-grading activity across the rest of our diversified portfolio, we anticipate delivering meaningful improvements to our capital efficiency which will position us to generate growth in free cash flow which can be returned to shareholders.
[Index to Financial Statements](#indextofinancialstatements)
growth both simultaneously impacted the supply of these commodities.
Our portfolio benefited from highly complementary assets that were acquired in 2022.
Our 2023 operating cash flow was materially lower than 2022 as commodity prices declined from 2022 highs and cost inflation increased in 2023.
The market price for crude oil is currently expected to be lower in 2024 due to concerns of a global economic slowdown driven by high interest rates and high inflation that could weaken economic activity and oil demand.
Additionally, oil prices could remain volatile as uncertainty still exists from the impact of sanctioned Russian oil in the global market, as well as actions taken by OPEC+ countries in supporting a balanced global crude supply.
Growing supply from U.S. oil producers could also weigh down prices in 2024 by dampening the impact of OPEC+ supply cuts.
For 2024, natural gas prices are expected to remain consistent with 2023 prices due to high storage levels from an abundance of supply and milder winter weather, weakening economic conditions in some sectors leading to lower demand, and continued alternative energy diversification.
Our 2024 capital is expected to be approximately 10% lower than 2023 due to this activity reduction and due to other identified cost reductions.
Our capital efficiency is expected to improve as lower 2024 capital offsets the impact of lower oil production from reduced 2024 activity.

LOE expenses and LOE per BOE increased primarily due to acquisitions in the Eagle Ford and Williston Basin that both closed in the third quarter of 2022, along with inflation and higher volumes resulting from increased activity in the Delaware Basin and Anadarko Basin.
This is partially offset by decreased production taxes due to lower commodity prices.

The graph was prepared assuming $100 was invested on December 31, [removed: 2018] [added: 2019] in Devon’s common stock, the S&P 500 Index and the XOP U.S. Equity Index and dividends have been reinvested subsequent to the initial investment.

The following table provides information regarding purchases of our common stock that were made by us during the fourth quarter of [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] (shares in thousands).
In addition to shares purchased under the share repurchase program described below, these amounts also include approximately [removed: 3,000] [added: two thousand] shares received by us from employees for the payment of personal income tax withholding on vesting transactions.
In the fourth quarter of [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] we repurchased [removed: 5.5] [added: 7.7] million common shares for [removed: $247] [added: $300] million, or [removed: $45.17] [added: $39.22] per share, under this share repurchase program.
Devon is committed to returning cash to shareholders through quarterly dividend payments and share repurchases, growing our per share value.

Through subsequent approvals, including most recently in July 2024, Devon's Board of Directors expanded the share repurchase program authorization to $5.0 billion, with a June 30, 2026 expiration date.
Devon currently has a strategy to return approximately 70% of our free cash flow to shareholders through a fixed dividend, variable dividend and share repurchases.
Under this strategy, Devon plans to pay, on a quarterly basis, a fixed dividend.
Additionally, Devon could potentially return cash to shareholders through a variable dividend amount and share repurchases.
Each quarter's free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP measure, is computed as operating cash flow (a GAAP measure) before balance sheet changes less capital expenditures.
A number of factors will be considered when determining if a variable dividend payment and share repurchases will be made.
Devon expects that the most critical factors will consist of Devon’s financial condition, including its cash balances and leverage metrics, as well as the commodity price outlook.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
During 2023 and 2022, Devon made investments in Matterhorn.
As of December 31, 2023, Devon's $216 million investment in the Water JV exceeded the underlying equity in net assets by approximately $27 million.
The basis difference results primarily from acreage dedicated to the Water JV's water systems and services and is amortized over the remaining 14-year term of those water system services.
In February 2024, Devon committed to invest approximately $90 million in a geothermal technology company and expects to fund the commitment throughout 2024.
Given Devon's current credit ratings and the terms of the underlying contracts, Devon is not currently required to post collateral to its counterparties with respect to its open derivative positions, and would not be required to post any such collateral as a result of any change to the amount of Devon's net liability for such positions.
As a result of Devon’s restructuring activity discussed in [Note 5](#restructuring), certain share-based awards were accelerated and recognized as a component of restructuring and transaction costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings.
See [Note 7](#income_taxes) for further discussion.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, Devon's restricted cash also included $120 million and $160 million, respectively, associated with retained obligations related to previously disposed assets.
As of December 31, 2023, the cash balances associated with these obligations are no longer considered restricted cash.
Devon is evaluating the impact this ASU will have on the disclosures that accompany its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segments Disclosures.
*WPX Merger*
On January 7, 2021, Devon and WPX completed an all-stock merger of equals.
WPX was an oil and gas exploration and production company with assets in the Delaware Basin in Texas and New Mexico and the Williston Basin in North Dakota.
On the closing date of the Merger, each share of WPX common stock was automatically converted into the right to receive 0.5165 of a share of Devon common stock.
No fractional shares of Devon’s common stock were issued in the Merger, and holders of WPX common stock instead received cash in lieu of fractional shares of Devon common stock, if any.
Based on the closing price of Devon’s common stock on January 7, 2021, the total value of Devon common stock issued to holders of WPX common stock as part of this transaction was approximately $5.4 billion.
The Merger was structured as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Devon could also receive up to an additional $65 million in contingent earnout payments for the remaining performance period depending on future commodity prices.
These values were derived utilizing a Monte Carlo valuation model and qualify as a level 3 fair value measurement.
Devon completed the sale of these non-core assets in 2021 for proceeds of $9 million, net of purchase price adjustments, and recognized a $35 million gain related to the sale.
