NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.Summary 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 2022 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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and Devon’s financial position as of September 30, 2023.

Restricted Cash

As of September 30, 2023, approximately $107 million of cash on the consolidated balance sheets is presented as restricted cash for obligations primarily related to an abandoned Canadian firm transportation agreement.

Variable Interest Entity

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

The following table presents Devon's investments.

		Carrying Amount
Investments	% Interest	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Catalyst	50%	$	317	$	339
Water JV	30%		214		—
Matterhorn	12.5%		90		54
Other	Various		50		47
Total		$	671	$	440

Devon has an interest in Catalyst, which is a joint venture with 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. Devon accounts for the investment in Catalyst as an equity method investment.

In the second quarter of 2023, Devon made an investment in the Water JV, a joint venture entity formed with an affiliate of WaterBridge NDB LLC (“WaterBridge”), for the purpose of providing increased capacity and flexibility in disposing of produced water in the Delaware Basin and Eagle Ford. Under terms of the arrangement, Devon contributed water infrastructure assets and committed to a water gathering and disposal dedication to the Water JV through 2038, in exchange for a 30% voting interest in the joint venture legal entity. WaterBridge contributed water infrastructure assets to the Water JV, in exchange for a 70% voting interest in the joint venture legal entity and will serve as the operator. At closing of the Water JV, Devon recognized a $64 million gain in asset dispositions in the consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings, which represented the excess of the estimated fair value of Devon's interest in the Water JV over the carrying value of the water infrastructure assets Devon contributed to the Water JV. Devon accounts for the investment in the Water JV as an equity method investment. Devon's investment in the Water JV is shown

During 2023 and 2022, Devon made investments in Matterhorn. Matterhorn is a joint venture entity and was formed for the purpose of constructing a natural gas pipeline that will transport natural gas from the Permian Basin to the Katy, Texas area. Devon's investment in Matterhorn does not give it the ability to exercise significant influence over Matterhorn.

2. Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisitions

In September 2022, Devon completed its acquisition of producing properties and leasehold interests located in the Eagle Ford for cash consideration of approximately $1.7 billion, net of purchase price adjustments. Additionally, 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. The total estimated proved reserves associated with these Eagle Ford and Williston Basin assets were approximately 87 MMBoe and 66 MMBoe, respectively. Each of these acquisitions were accounted for as asset acquisitions as substantially all of the fair value was concentrated in a group of similar assets. Each of the acquisitions resulted in the purchase of producing properties and leasehold interests in a defined geographical and geological area, and substantially all of the assets have similar risk characteristics.

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 2023 and 2022 and could receive up to an additional $130 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 September 30, 2023 consolidated balance sheet was approximately $20 million and $45 million, respectively. These values were derived utilizing a Monte Carlo valuation model and qualify as a level 3 fair value measurement.

Devon also received $4 million in contingent earnout payments in the first quarter of 2023 and 2022 related to the sale of non-core assets in the Rockies.

3.Derivative Financial 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 and costless price collars.

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 September 30, 2023, 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.

Devon has guaranteed performance through 2026 for a minimum volume commitment associated with assets divested in 2018. Due to improved commodity prices, market conditions, and performance by the purchaser of the assets, the purchaser was able to fully satisfy the performance obligation due in the first quarter of 2023 and 2022, as well as reimburse Devon for shortfall payments previously made on the purchasers’ behalf in 2021 and 2020. Additionally, at March 31, 2022, Devon reduced the estimated future exposure of the performance guarantee. The effect of these cash collections and liability revisions resulted in a $140 million benefit in the first nine months of 2022.

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

7. Income Taxes

On August 16, 2022, the IRA was signed into law and included various income tax related provisions with effective dates generally beginning in 2023. Among the enacted provisions are a 15% CAMT on AFSI and several new and expanded clean energy credits and incentives. Devon believes it is subject to the CAMT as Devon has an average annual AFSI that exceeds $1 billion for the three-year period ended December 31, 2022. Devon continues to assess the potential incremental cash tax that could be incurred, depending on actual operating results, as well as ongoing U.S. Treasury guidance.

In the third quarter and the nine months ended 2023, Devon recognized income tax credits associated with its qualified research activities. This includes actual credits generated in the 2018-2022 tax years as well as estimated credits for the 2023 tax year.

Retirement of Senior Notes

On August 1, 2023, Devon repaid the $242 million of 8.25% senior notes at maturity.

Credit Lines

On March 24, 2023, Devon amended and restated its 2018 Senior Credit Facility to provide for a new $3.0 billion revolving 2023 Senior Credit Facility with a financial covenant and other terms similar to the 2018 Senior Credit Facility. The 2023 Senior Credit Facility matures on March 24, 2028, with the option to extend the maturity date by three additional one-year periods, subject to lender consent. As of September 30, 2023, Devon had no outstanding borrowings under the 2023 Senior Credit Facility and had issued $3 million in outstanding letters of credit under this facility. The 2023 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 September 30, 2023, Devon was in compliance with this covenant with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 21.9%.

Devon also increased its asset retirement obligations during the first nine months of 2023 by approximately $27 million primarily due to inflation-driven increases in current cost estimates. During the first nine months of 2022, Devon increased its asset retirement obligations by approximately $38 million due to asset acquisitions in the Eagle Ford and Williston Basin. During this same time period Devon reduced its asset retirement obligations by $35 million primarily due to extended retirement dates for oil and gas assets, partially offset by inflation-driven increases to current settlement costs.

16.Stockholders’ Equity

Share Repurchases

In November 2021, Devon authorized a share repurchase program of $1.0 billion with a December 31, 2022 expiration date. In 2022, the Board of Directors authorized expansions of the share repurchase program ultimately to $2.0 billion and extended the expiration date to May 4, 2023.

In November 2023, Devon announced a cash dividend in the amount of $0.77 per share payable in the fourth quarter of 2023. The dividend consists of a $0.20 per share fixed quarterly dividend and a $0.57 per share variable quarterly dividend and will total approximately $492 million.

Noncontrolling Interests

The noncontrolling interests’ share of CDM’s net earnings and the contributions from and distributions to the noncontrolling interests are presented as components of equity.

17.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.

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 denies the allegations in these lawsuits and 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 denies all allegations asserted in these lawsuits and intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

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 on 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. Devon denies any obligation to decommission the subject platforms and has appealed the order. In the third quarter of 2023, Devon settled certain defense and indemnity claims against a third party related to these potential decommissioning obligations. Pursuant to that settlement agreement, Devon is entitled to receive a settlement payment in the fourth quarter of 2023 that Devon believes will offset any potential decommissioning liability it may incur related to the subject platforms. Although Devon continues to pursue its appeal of the government's order and deny any obligation to decommission the subject platforms, in conjunction with the third-party settlement, Devon recorded an increase to its asset retirement obligations and a corresponding increase to accounts receivable in other current assets as of September 30, 2023.

18.Fair Value Measurements

The following table provides carrying value and fair value measurement information for certain of Devon’s financial assets and liabilities. The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, other current receivables, accounts payable, other current payables, accrued expenses and lease liabilities included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximated fair value at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, as applicable. Therefore, such financial assets and liabilities are not presented in the following table.

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 asset divestiture 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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis addresses material changes in our results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 compared to previous periods and in our financial condition and liquidity since December 31, 2022. For information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Executive Overview

We are a leading independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company whose operations are focused onshore in the United States. Our operations are currently focused in five core areas: the Delaware Basin, Eagle Ford, Anadarko Basin, Williston Basin and Powder River Basin. Our asset base is underpinned by premium acreage in the economic core of the Delaware Basin and our diverse, top-tier resource plays provide a deep inventory of opportunities for years to come. 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.

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 ESG excellence. Our recent performance highlights for these priorities include the following items:

•Third quarter oil production totaled 321 MBbls/d, which is a 9% increase year over year.

•As of September 30, 2023, completed approximately 68% of our authorized $3.0 billion share repurchase program, with approximately 39.6 million of our common shares repurchased for approximately $2.1 billion, or $51.86 per share since inception of the plan.

•Retired $242 million of senior notes in the third quarter.

•Exited the third quarter with $3.8 billion of liquidity, including $0.8 billion of cash.

•Generated $1.7 billion of operating cash flow in the third quarter of 2023 and $6.7 billion for the past twelve trailing months.

•Including variable dividends, paid dividends of $312 million in the third quarter of 2023 and have declared approximately $492 million of dividends to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2023.

•Third quarter earnings attributable to Devon were $910 million, or $1.42 per diluted share.

•Third quarter core earnings (Non-GAAP) were $1.1 billion, or $1.65 per diluted share.

We remain committed to capital discipline and delivering the objectives that underpin our current plan. Those objectives prioritize value creation through moderated capital investment and production growth, particularly with a view of the volatility in commodity prices, supply chain constraints and the economic uncertainty arising from inflation and geopolitical events. Our cash-return objectives remain focused on opportunistic share repurchases, funding our fixed and variable dividends, repaying debt at upcoming maturities and building cash balances.

Results of Operations

The following graphs, discussion and analysis are intended to provide an understanding of our results of operations and current financial condition. To facilitate the review, these numbers are being presented before consideration of noncontrolling interests.

Q3 2023 vs. Q2 2023

Our third quarter 2023 and second quarter 2023 net earnings were $920 million and $698 million, respectively. The graph below shows the change in net earnings from the second quarter of 2023 to the third quarter of 2023. The material changes are further discussed by category on the following pages.

From the second quarter of 2023 to the third quarter of 2023, the change in volumes contributed to a $21 million increase to earnings. The slight increase in volumes was primarily due to new well activity in the Delaware Basin which was partially offset by natural well declines in the Anadarko Basin and Eagle Ford.

From the second quarter of 2023 to the third quarter of 2023, realized prices contributed to a $368 million increase in earnings. Unhedged realized oil, gas and NGL prices increased primarily due to higher WTI, Henry Hub and Mont Belvieu index prices. The increase in index prices was partially offset by hedge cash settlement payments related to oil commodities.

We currently have hedged approximately 35% and 30% of our remaining anticipated 2023 oil and gas production, respectively. For 2024, we currently have hedged approximately 30% and 20% of our anticipated oil and gas production, respectively.

Production expenses increased in the third quarter of 2023 primarily due to an increase in production taxes which resulted from higher commodity prices. Additionally, LOE increased primarily due to an increase in activity in the Delaware Basin.

Field-Level Cash Margin

The table below presents the field-level cash margin for each of our operating areas. Field-level cash margin is computed as oil, gas and NGL sales less production expenses and is not a measure defined by GAAP. A reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measures is found in “Non-GAAP Measures” in this Item 2. The changes in production volumes, realized prices and production expenses, shown above, had the following impact on our field-level cash margins by asset.

From the nine months ended 2022 to the nine months ended 2023, the change in volumes contributed to a $1.0 billion increase in earnings. Volumes increased primarily due to acquisitions in the Eagle Ford and Williston Basin which both closed in the third quarter of 2022. Volumes also increased due to new well activity in the Delaware Basin and Anadarko Basin.

From the nine months ended 2022 to the nine months ended 2023, realized prices contributed to a $3.9 billion decrease in earnings. Unhedged realized oil, gas and NGL prices decreased primarily due to lower WTI, Henry Hub and Mont Belvieu index prices. The decrease in index prices was partially offset by improved hedge cash settlements related to oil and gas commodities.

Field-Level Cash Margin

The table below presents the field-level cash margin for each of our operating areas. Field-level cash margin is computed as oil, gas and NGL sales less production expenses and is not a measure defined by GAAP. A reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measures is found in “Non-GAAP Measures” in this Item 2. The changes in production volumes, realized prices and production expenses, shown above, had the following impact on our field-level cash margins by asset.

Operating Cash Flow

As presented in the table above, net cash provided by operating activities continued to be a significant source of capital and liquidity. Operating cash flow funded all of our capital expenditures, and we continued to return value to our shareholders by utilizing cash flow and cash balances for dividends, share repurchases and debt repayments.

31

Capital Expenditures

The amounts in the table below reflect cash payments for capital expenditures, including cash paid for capital expenditures incurred in prior periods.

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022

Other		23		14		58		53
Total capital expenditures	$	882	$	628	$	2,973	$	1,738

Capital expenditures consist primarily of amounts related to our oil and gas exploration and development operations, midstream operations and other corporate activities. Our capital investment program is driven by a disciplined allocation process focused on moderating our production growth and maximizing our returns. As such, our capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2023 represented approximately 62% of our operating cash flow. Capital expenditures increased due to acquisitions, general inflation trends and expanded development in the Delaware and Anadarko Basins.

Acquisitions of Property and Equipment

During the first nine months of 2022, we paid $2.6 billion toward acquisitions of production properties and leasehold interests located in the Eagle Ford and Williston Basin, which were completed in the third quarter of 2022. For additional information, please see Note 2 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report.

Divestitures of Property and Equipment

During the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, we received contingent earnout payments related to assets previously sold. For additional information, please see Note 2 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report.

Investment Activity

During the first nine months of both 2023 and 2022, Devon received distributions from our investments of $24 million and $30 million, respectively. Devon contributed $52 million and $59 million to our investments during the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Debt Activity

During 2023, we repaid $242 million of senior notes at maturity.

Shareholder Distributions and Stock Activity

We repurchased approximately 13.9 million shares of common stock for $745 million and approximately 11 million shares of common stock for $661 million, under the share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors, in the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively. For additional information, see Note 16 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report.

The following table summarizes our common stock dividends during the third quarter and total for the first nine months of 2023 and 2022. Devon has raised its fixed dividend multiple times over the past two calendar years to $0.20 per share beginning in the first quarter of 2023. In addition to the fixed quarterly dividend, we paid a variable dividend in the first, second and third quarters of 2023 and 2022.

	Fixed		Variable		Total		Rate Per Share
2023:
First quarter	$	133	$	463	$	596	$	0.89

Noncontrolling Interest Activity, net

During the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, we distributed $33 million and $22 million, respectively, to our noncontrolling interests in CDM. During the first nine months of 2023, we received contributions from our noncontrolling interests of $18 million.

Liquidity

The business of exploring for, developing and producing oil and natural gas is capital intensive. Because oil, natural gas and NGL reserves are a depleting resource, we, like all upstream operators, must continually make capital investments to grow and even sustain production. Generally, our capital investments are focused on drilling and completing new wells and maintaining production from existing wells. At opportunistic times, we also acquire operations and properties from other operators or landowners to enhance our existing portfolio of assets.

Historically, our primary sources of capital funding and liquidity have been our operating cash flow, cash on hand and asset divestiture proceeds. Additionally, we maintain a commercial paper program, supported by our revolving line of credit, which can be accessed as needed to supplement operating cash flow and cash balances. If needed, we can also issue debt and equity securities, including through transactions under our shelf registration statement filed with the SEC. We estimate the combination of our sources of capital will continue to be adequate to fund our planned capital requirements as discussed in this section as well as accelerate our cash-return business model.

Operating Cash Flow

Key inputs into determining our planned capital investment are the amount of cash we hold and operating cash flow we expect to generate over the next one to three or more years. At the end of the third quarter of 2023, we held approximately $0.8 billion of cash. Our operating cash flow forecasts are sensitive to many variables and include a measure of uncertainty as actual results may differ from our expectations.

Commodity Prices – The most uncertain and volatile variables for our operating cash flow are the prices of the oil, gas and NGLs we produce and sell. Prices are determined primarily by prevailing market conditions. Regional and worldwide economic activity, weather and other highly variable factors influence market conditions for these products. These factors, which are difficult to predict, create volatility in prices and are beyond our control.

To mitigate some of the risk inherent in prices, we utilize various derivative financial instruments to protect a portion of our production against downside price risk. The key terms to our oil, gas and NGL derivative financial instruments as of September 30, 2023 are presented in Note 3 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” of this report.

Further, when considering the current commodity price environment and our current hedge position, we expect to achieve our capital investment priorities. Additionally, we remain committed to capital discipline and focused on delivering the objectives that underpin our capital plan for 2023. The currently elevated level of cost inflation has eroded, and could continue to erode, the cost efficiencies gained over previous years and further pressure our margins for the remainder of 2023 and into 2024. Despite this, we

33

expect to continue generating material amounts of free cash flow at current commodity price levels due to our strategy of spending within cash flow.

Operating Expenses – Commodity prices can also affect our operating cash flow through an indirect effect on operating expenses. Significant commodity price decreases can lead to a decrease in drilling and development activities. As a result, the demand and cost for people, services, equipment and materials may also decrease, causing a positive impact on our cash flow as the prices paid for services and equipment decline. However, the inverse is also generally true during periods of rising commodity prices. We expect to mitigate the impact of cost inflation through efficiencies gained from the scale of our operations as well as by leveraging our long-standing relationships with our suppliers.

Credit Losses – Our operating cash flow is also exposed to credit risk in a variety of ways. This includes the credit risk related to customers who purchase our oil, gas and NGL production, the collection of receivables from our joint interest owners for their proportionate share of expenditures made on projects we operate and counterparties to our derivative financial contracts. We utilize a variety of mechanisms to limit our exposure to the credit risks of our customers, joint interest owners and counterparties. Such mechanisms include, under certain conditions, requiring letters of credit, prepayments or cash collateral postings.

Credit Availability

As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately $3.0 billion of available borrowing capacity under our 2023 Senior Credit Facility. This credit facility supports our $3.0 billion of short-term credit under our commercial paper program. At September 30, 2023, there were no borrowings under our commercial paper program, and we were in compliance with the Senior Credit Facility’s financial covenant.

Debt Ratings

We receive debt ratings from the major ratings agencies in the U.S. In determining our debt ratings, the agencies consider a number of qualitative and quantitative items including, but not limited to, commodity pricing levels, our liquidity, asset quality, reserve mix, debt levels, cost structure, planned asset sales and the size and scale of our production. Our credit rating from Standard and Poor’s Financial Services is BBB with a stable outlook. Our credit rating from Fitch is BBB+ with a stable outlook. Our credit rating from Moody’s Investor Service is Baa2 with a stable outlook. Any rating downgrades may result in additional letters of credit or cash collateral being posted under certain contractual arrangements.

There are no “rating triggers” in any of our contractual debt obligations that would accelerate scheduled maturities should our debt rating fall below a specified level. However, a downgrade could adversely impact our interest rate on any credit facility borrowings and the ability to economically access debt markets in the future.

Fixed Plus Variable Dividend

We have a “fixed plus variable” dividend strategy. Our Board of Directors will consider a number of factors when setting the quarterly dividend, if any, including a general target of paying out approximately 10% of operating cash flow through the fixed dividend. Our Board of Directors increased our quarterly fixed dividend rate by 11% to $0.20 per share beginning in February 2023. In addition to the fixed quarterly dividend, we may pay a variable dividend of up to 50% of our excess free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP measure. Each quarter’s excess free cash flow is computed as operating cash flow (a GAAP measure) before balance sheet changes, less capital expenditures and the fixed dividend. The declaration and payment of any future dividend, whether fixed or variable, will remain at the full discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our financial results, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

In November 2023, Devon announced a cash dividend in the amount of $0.77 per share payable in the fourth quarter of 2023. The dividend consists of a $0.20 per share fixed quarterly dividend and a $0.57 per share variable quarterly dividend and will total approximately $492 million.

Share Repurchases

In May 2023, our Board of Directors increased our share repurchase program by $1.0 billion to a total authorized amount of $3.0 billion and extended the expiration date to December 31, 2024. Through October 2023, we had executed $2.1 billion of the authorized program.

34

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures budget for the remainder of 2023 is expected to be approximately $900 million.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Income Taxes

The amount of income taxes recorded requires interpretations of complex rules and regulations of federal, state, provincial and foreign tax jurisdictions. We recognize current tax expense based on estimated taxable income for the current period and the applicable statutory tax rates. We routinely assess potential uncertain tax positions and, if required, estimate and establish accruals for such amounts. We have recognized deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences, operating losses and other tax carryforwards. We routinely assess our deferred tax assets and reduce such assets by a valuation allowance if we deem it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Further, in the event we were to undergo an “ownership change” (as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), our ability to use net operating losses and tax credits generated prior to the ownership change may be limited. Generally, an “ownership change” occurs if one or more shareholders, each of whom owns five percent or more in value of a corporation’s stock, increase their aggregate percentage ownership by more than 50 percent over the lowest percentage of stock owned by those shareholders at any time during the preceding three-year period. Based on currently available information, we do not believe an ownership change has occurred during the first nine months of 2023 for Devon, but the Merger did cause an ownership change for WPX and increased the likelihood Devon could experience an ownership change over the next year.

On August 16, 2022, the IRA was signed into law and included various income tax related provisions with an effective date beginning in 2023. Among the enacted provisions are a 15% CAMT and several new and expanded clean energy credits and incentives. Devon believes it is subject to the CAMT as Devon has an average annual AFSI that exceeds $1 billion for the three-year period ended December 31, 2022. Devon continues to assess the potential incremental cash tax that could be incurred, depending on actual operating results, as well as ongoing U.S. Treasury guidance.

For additional information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Measures

We utilize “core earnings attributable to Devon” and “core earnings per share attributable to Devon” that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are not alternatives to GAAP measures and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results reported under GAAP. Core earnings attributable to Devon, as well as the per share amount, represent net earnings excluding certain non-cash and other items that are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of our financial results. Our non-GAAP measures are typically used as a quarterly performance measure. Amounts excluded relate to asset dispositions, noncash asset impairments (including unproved asset impairments), deferred tax asset valuation allowance and fair value changes in derivative financial instruments.

We believe these non-GAAP measures facilitate comparisons of our performance to earnings estimates published by securities analysts. We also believe these non-GAAP measures can facilitate comparisons of our performance between periods and to the performance of our peers.

EBITDAX and Field-Level Cash Margin

To assess the performance of our assets, we use EBITDAX and Field-Level Cash Margin. We compute EBITDAX as net earnings before income tax expense; financing costs, net; exploration expenses; DD&A; asset impairments; asset disposition gains and losses; non-cash share-based compensation; non-cash valuation changes for derivatives and financial instruments; restructuring and transaction costs; accretion on discounted liabilities; and other items not related to our normal operations. Field-Level Cash Margin is computed as oil, gas and NGL sales less production expenses. Production expenses consist of lease operating, gathering, processing and transportation expenses, as well as production and property taxes.

We exclude financing costs from EBITDAX to assess our operating results without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. Exploration expenses and asset disposition gains and losses are excluded from EBITDAX because they generally are not indicators of operating efficiency for a given reporting period. DD&A and impairments are excluded from EBITDAX because capital expenditures are evaluated at the time capital costs are incurred. We exclude share-based compensation, valuation changes, restructuring and transaction costs, accretion on discounted liabilities and other items from EBITDAX because they are not considered a measure of asset operating performance.

We believe EBITDAX and Field-Level Cash Margin provide information useful in assessing our operating and financial performance across periods. EBITDAX and Field-Level Cash Margin as defined by Devon may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should be considered in conjunction with net earnings from operations.

As of September 30, 2023, we have commodity derivatives that pertain to a portion of our estimated production for the last three months of 2023, as well as for 2024 and 2025. The key terms to our open oil, gas and NGL derivative financial instruments are presented in Note 3 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report.

The fair values of our commodity derivatives are largely determined by the forward curves of the relevant price indices. At September 30, 2023, a 10% change in the forward curves associated with our commodity derivative instruments would have changed our net positions by approximately $290 million.

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2023, we had total debt of $6.2 billion. All of our debt is based on fixed interest rates averaging 5.7%.

Foreign Currency Risk

We had no material foreign currency risk at September 30, 2023.

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, 2023 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.
