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.
