1.

S****ummary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and notes of Devon 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 U.S. GAAP 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 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements 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, 2022 and 2021 and Devon’s financial position as of June 30, 2022.

Devon and WPX completed an all-stock merger of equals on January 7, 2021. 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. The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, with Devon being treated as the accounting acquirer. See Note 2 for further discussion.

Restricted Cash

As of June 30, 2022, Devon classified approximately $140 million of cash as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets for obligations retained related to the Barnett Shale assets and the Canadian business. Cash payments for these charges related to the Barnett assets and Canada business total approximately $10 million per quarter.

Variable Interest Entity

Cotton Draw Midstream, L.L.C. (“CDM”) is a joint venture entity formed by Devon and an affiliate of QL Capital Partners, LP. CDM provides gathering, compression and dehydration services for natural gas production in the Cotton Draw area of the Delaware Basin. Devon holds a controlling interest in CDM and the portions of CDM’s net earnings and equity not attributable to Devon’s controlling interest are shown separately as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings and consolidated balance sheets. CDM is considered a VIE to Devon. The assets of CDM cannot be used by Devon for general corporate purposes and are included in, and disclosed parenthetically, on Devon's consolidated balance sheets. The carrying amount of liabilities related to CDM for which the creditors do not have recourse to Devon's assets are also included in, and disclosed parenthetically, if material, on Devon's consolidated balance sheets.

Investments

In conjunction with the Merger, Devon acquired an interest in Catalyst, which is a joint venture established among WPX, an affiliate of Howard Energy Partners, LLC (“HEP”) and certain other investors, to develop oil gathering and natural gas processing infrastructure in the Stateline area of the Delaware Basin. Under the terms of the arrangement, Devon and a holding company owned by the other joint venture investors each have a 50% voting interest in the joint venture legal entity, and HEP serves as the operator. Through 2038, Devon’s production from 50,000 net acres in the Stateline area of the Delaware Basin has been dedicated to Catalyst subject to fixed-fee oil gathering and natural gas processing agreements. The agreements do not include any minimum volume commitments. Devon accounts for the investment in Catalyst as an equity method investment.

Devon's investment in Catalyst is shown within investments on the consolidated balance sheets and Devon's share of Catalyst earnings are reflected as a component of other, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings.

2. Acquisitions and Dive****stitures

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 United States federal income tax purposes. The final allocation of the total purchase price of WPX to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed was finalized at December 31, 2021.

Acquisitions

In July 2022, Devon completed its acquisition of producing properties and leasehold interests located in the Williston Basin for cash consideration of approximately $830 million, net of purchase price adjustments. In the second quarter of 2022, Devon paid an $87 million cash deposit related to this acquisition, which is included within other current assets in the June 30, 2022 consolidated balance sheet and within acquisitions of property and equipment in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Divestitures

In the first quarter of 2021, Devon completed the sale of non-core assets in the Rockies for proceeds of $9 million, net of purchase price adjustments, and recognized a $35 million gain related to the sale. Devon received $4 million in contingent earnout payments related to this transaction in the first quarter of 2022 with the potential for up to an additional $4 million in the future. The total estimated proved reserves associated with these divested assets was approximately 3 MMBoe.

Contingent Earnout Payments

Devon is entitled to contingent earnout payments associated with the sale of its Barnett Shale assets in 2020 with upside participation beginning at a $2.75 Henry Hub natural gas price or a $50 WTI oil price. The contingent payment period commenced on January 1, 2021 and has a term of four years. Devon received $65 million in contingent earnout payments related to this transaction in the first quarter of 2022 and could receive up to an additional $195 million in contingent earnout payments for the remaining performance periods depending on future commodity prices. The valuation of the future contingent earnout payments included within other current assets and other long-term assets in the June 30, 2022 consolidated balance sheet was approximately $65 million and $60 million, respectively. The value was derived utilizing a Monte Carlo valuation model and qualifies as a level 3 fair value measurement.

Derivative Fin****ancial Instruments

Objectives and Strategies

Devon enters into derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of its oil, gas and NGL production to hedge future prices received. Additionally, Devon periodically enters into derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of its 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. As of June 30, 2022, Devon did not have any open interest rate swap contracts.

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 generally contain provisions that provide for collateral payments if Devon’s or its counterparty’s credit rating falls below certain credit rating levels. As of June 30, 2022, Devon neither held cash collateral of its counterparties nor posted cash collateral to its counterparties. 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 we 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.

Commodity Derivatives

As of June 30, 2022, 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 WTI futures price.

Share-Base****d Compensation

In the second quarter of 2022, Devon's stockholders approved the 2022 Plan. The 2022 Plan replaces the 2017 Plan. From the effective date of the 2022 Plan, no further awards may be made under the 2017 Plan; however, awards previously granted will continue to be governed by the terms of the respective award documents. The 2022 Plan authorizes the grant of nonqualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock awards or units and stock appreciation rights to eligible employees. Restricted stock awards or restricted stock units granted under the 2022 Plan may be subject to performance-based conditions. The 2022 Plan also authorizes the grant of nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards or units and stock appreciation rights to non-employee directors. To

The first six months of 2022 includes a $96 million benefit related to the revision of a future obligation under a performance guarantee liability for previously divested assets. Due to improved commodity prices and market conditions, the purchaser of these assets was able to fully satisfy a $35 million obligation due in the first quarter of 2022. Further, during the first quarter of 2022, Devon also reduced the estimated future exposure of the performance guarantee by $61 million based on probability-weighted cash flows for the remainder of the contract term of four years. Additionally, the first six months of 2021 included an $18 million benefit related to the revision of a future obligation under a performance guarantee liability for which the purchaser of these assets was able to partially satisfy an obligation.

The first six months of 2022 also includes a $20 million pledge for humanitarian relief for the Ukrainian people and surrounding countries supporting refugees.

During the first six months of 2021, Devon received severance and other non-income tax refunds of $39 million.

7. Inco****me Taxes

The following table presents Devon’s total income tax expense (benefit) and a reconciliation of its effective income tax rate to the U.S. statutory income tax rate.

Other0%6%0%12%
Effective income tax rate22%14%22%(75%)

Prior to December 31, 2021, Devon maintained a valuation allowance against all U.S. federal deferred tax assets. Devon recognized approximately $250 million of deferred tax liabilities to account for the Merger. The recognition of these deferred tax liabilities caused a decrease to Devon’s net deferred tax assets and a corresponding decrease to the valuation allowance Devon had recognized on its U.S. federal deferred tax assets in the first quarter of 2021.

Due to significant increases in commodity pricing and projections of future income, in the fourth quarter of 2021, Devon reassessed its evaluation of the realizability of deferred tax assets in future years and determined that a U.S. federal valuation allowance was no longer necessary at December 31, 2021.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, Devon recorded a deferred tax asset representing the deductible outside basis difference in its investment in a consolidated subsidiary. In the second quarter of 2021, Devon realized this deferred tax asset, increasing its U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards by $1.8 billion.

In the table above, the "other" effect for 2021 is composed primarily of permanent differences related to costs incurred in connection with the Merger. Such items represent $18 million of income tax expense in the first six months of 2021.

Pursuant to the tax sharing agreement with The Williams Companies, Inc. ("Williams") assumed in the Merger, Devon has remained responsible for the tax from audit adjustments related to the WPX business for periods prior to WPX’s spin-off from Williams on December 31, 2011. The 2011 consolidated tax filing by Williams was audited by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) during which the IRS proposed adjustments related to the WPX business. After a lengthy appeals process, these matters were effectively settled with the IRS during the second quarter of 2022 upon review and approval by the Joint Committee on Taxation. Accordingly, Devon believes these matters have now been effectively settled with no material impacts to Devon.

Retirement of Senior Notes

In the first six months of 2021, Devon redeemed $43 million of the 6.00% senior notes due 2022, $175 million of the 5.875% senior notes due 2028, $315 million of the 4.50% senior notes due 2030, $210 million of the 5.35% senior notes due 2027 and $500 million of the 5.75% senior notes due 2026. In the first six months of 2021, Devon recognized $30 million of gains on early retirement of debt, consisting of $89 million of non-cash premium accelerations, partially offset by $59 million of cash retirement costs. The gain on early retirement is included in net financing costs in the consolidated comprehensive statements of earnings.

Credit Lines

Devon has a $3.0 billion Senior Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2022, Devon had no outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility and had issued $2 million in outstanding letters of credit under this 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%. Under the terms of the credit agreement, total capitalization is adjusted to add back non-cash financial write-downs such as impairments. As of June 30, 2022, Devon was in compliance with this covenant with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 23.9%.

Dividends

Upon completion of the Merger, Devon continued its commitment to pay a quarterly dividend at a fixed rate and instituted a variable quarterly dividend, which is dependent on quarterly cash flows, among other factors. Devon raised its fixed quarterly dividend by 45%, to $0.16 per share, beginning in the first quarter of 2022 and again by 13%, to $0.18 per share, beginning in the third quarter of 2022. The following table summarizes Devon’s fixed and variable dividends for the first six months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies

Devon is party to various legal actions arising in connection with its 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 likely 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. Devon is currently named as a defendant in a number of such lawsuits, including some lawsuits in which the plaintiffs seek to certify classes of similarly situated plaintiffs. Among the allegations typically asserted in these suits are claims that Devon used below-market prices, made improper deductions, paid royalty proceeds in an untimely manner without including required interest, 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 royalty audits and is subject to related contracts and regulatory controls in the ordinary course of business, some that may lead to additional royalty claims. As of June 30, 2022, Devon has accrued approximately $25 million in other current liabilities pertaining to such royalty matters.

Environmental and Climate Change Matters

Devon’s business is subject to numerous federal, state, tribal and local laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal fines and penalties, as well as remediation costs. Although Devon believes that it is in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and that continued compliance with existing requirements will not have a material adverse impact on its business, there can be no assurance that this will continue in the future.

Beginning in 2013, various parishes in Louisiana filed suit against numerous oil and gas companies, including Devon, alleging that the companies’ operations and activities in certain fields violated the State and Local Coastal Resource Management Act of 1978, as amended, and caused substantial environmental contamination, subsidence and other environmental damages to land and water

bodies located in the coastal zone of Louisiana. The plaintiffs’ claims against Devon relate primarily to the operations of several of Devon’s corporate predecessors. The plaintiffs seek, among other things, payment of the costs necessary to clear, re-vegetate and otherwise restore the allegedly impacted areas. Although Devon cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, Devon intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

The State of Delaware and various municipalities and other governmental and private parties in California have filed legal proceedings against numerous oil and gas companies, including Devon, seeking relief to abate alleged impacts of climate change. These proceedings include far-reaching claims for monetary damages and injunctive relief. Although Devon cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, Devon intends to vigorously defend against the proceedings.

Other Indemnifications and Legacy Matters

Pursuant to various sale agreements relating to divested businesses and assets, Devon has indemnified various purchasers against liabilities that they may incur with respect to the businesses and assets acquired from Devon. Additionally, federal, state and other laws in areas of former operations may require previous operators (including corporate successors of previous operators) to perform or make payments in certain circumstances where the current operator may no longer be able to satisfy the applicable obligation. Such obligations may include plugging and abandoning wells, removing production facilities or performing requirements under surface agreements in existence at the time of disposition.

In November 2020, the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, ordered several oil and gas operators, including Devon, to perform decommissioning and reclamation activities related to two California offshore oil and gas production platforms and related facilities. The current operator and owner of the platforms contends that it does not have the financial ability to perform these obligations and relinquished the related federal lease in October 2020. In response to the apparent insolvency of the current operator, the government has ordered the former operators and alleged former lease record title owners to decommission the platforms and related facilities. The government contends that an alleged corporate predecessor of Devon owned a partial interest in the subject lease and platforms. Although Devon cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this matter, Devon denies any obligation to decommission the subject platforms, has appealed the order, and believes any decommissioning obligation related to the subject platforms should be assumed by others.

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

Level 1 Fair Value Measurements

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

Level 2 Fair Value Measurements

Commodity derivatives – The fair value of commodity derivatives is 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 consistently trade actively in an established market. The fair values of its debt are estimated based on rates available for debt with similar terms and maturity when active trading is not available.

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

Contingent Earnout Payments – Devon has the right to receive contingent consideration related to the Barnett and non-core Rockies asset divestitures based on future oil and gas prices. These values were derived using a Monte Carlo valuation model and qualify as a level 3 fair value measurement. For additional information, see Note 2.
