Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to Devon, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify Devon’s financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.
Based on their evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective as of September 30, 2025 to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by Devon in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various legal proceedings incidental to our business. However, to our knowledge as of the date of this report and subject to the environmental matters noted below and in Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the updates disclosed in our Second Quarter 2025 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there were no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which any of our property is subject. For more information on our legal contingencies, see Note 17 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” of this report.
On August 28, 2025, we received a NOV from the EPA relating to alleged air permit violations by Devon Energy Production Company, L.P. and WPX Energy Permian, LLC, each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, during 2024 in New Mexico and western Texas. We have been engaging with the EPA to resolve this matter, which remains ongoing, and management cannot predict its ultimate outcome; however, resolution of this matter may result in a fine or penalty in excess of $300,000.
Please see our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other SEC filings for additional information.
