Rewritten

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.]

Rewritten

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.]

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.]

Rewritten

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.]

Rewritten

[removed: In that event, due to] operation of law, we may be required to assume such obligations, which could be material.

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.]

Rewritten

*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.

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

[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.

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.]

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

[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.

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

Rewritten

[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.]

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

[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.

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.]

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.

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.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

Increased regulation and attention given to water disposal activities could lead to greater efforts, including through litigation, to limit or prohibit oil and gas

activities relying on injection wells for produced water disposal.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

Moreover, we are regularly audited by tax authorities.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

Fines and penalties for violations of these rules can be substantial.

New in FY2024

The rules have been subject to legal challenge, although OOOOb is already in effect.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

In April 2024, the SEC stayed the effectiveness of these rules pending the completion of a judicial review of certain legal challenges.

New in FY2024

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

non-European Union companies.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

Subsequent United Nations climate conferences have called for additional action to transition away from fossil fuels or otherwise reduce GHG emissions.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

Vermont passed a similar law in May 2024, and similar legislation has been proposed in California, Massachusetts and New Jersey.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

Our Environmental Performance Targets and Other ESG Initiatives May Expose Us to Risks

New in FY2024

We have developed, and may continue to develop, voluntary targets related to our ESG initiatives, including our environmental performance targets and strategy.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

Additionally, such statements are often based on assumptions or hypothetical scenarios which are necessarily uncertain.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

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.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

The IRA responded, in part, to the report’s recommendations by increasing onshore royalty rates on all new federal leases.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

In addition, the SEC proposed rules in March 2022 that would require public companies to include extensive climate-related disclosures in their SEC filings.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

As a result, we may face increased litigation risks which could, in turn, lead to further negative sentiment against us and our industry.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

At the international level, the United States

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Global Pandemics Have Previously and May in the Future Adversely Impact Our Business

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

Dropped from FY2023

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.

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.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

The transaction created immediate value within our financial framework by delivering sustainable accretion to earnings and free cash flow.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

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.

New in FY2024

Our Williston Basin assets will receive additional capital allocation through 2025 as we work to develop the newly acquired Grayson Mill assets.

New in FY2024

Our 2025 capital is expected to be approximately 7% higher than 2024 primarily due to increased activity in the Williston Basin.

Our 2023 operating cash flow was materially lower than 2022 as commodity prices declined from 2022 highs and cost inflation increased in 2023.

Dropped from FY2023

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.
