Devon Energy Reports Second-Quarter 2023 Results and Declares Quarterly Dividend
OKLAHOMA CITY – August 1, 2023 – Devon Energy Corp. (NYSE: DVN) today reported financial and operational results for the second-quarter 2023. Supplemental financial tables and forward-looking guidance are available on the company’s website at www.devonenergy.com.
KEY FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
• | Oil production reached an all-time high of 323,000 barrels per day in the second quarter |
• | Wolfcamp B appraisal success enhances resource quality in Delaware Basin |
• | Declared fixed-plus-variable dividend payout of $0.49 per share based on second quarter results |
• | Share-repurchase program retired 3.8 million shares at a total cost of $200 million in the second quarter |
• | Balance sheet improved with the retirement of $242 million of debt |
• | Delaware Basin completion activity positions Devon for oil volume growth in the third quarter |
CEO PERSPECTIVE
“Devon’s second-quarter performance once again demonstrated the quality of our asset portfolio, the execution capabilities of our team and the financial benefits of our disciplined capital plan,” said Rick Muncrief, president and CEO.
“One of our key accomplishments was the record-setting oil production we delivered, which was supported by strong well productivity in the Delaware Basin, as well as efficiency gains that compressed project cycle times. These efficiencies allowed us to bring forward activity ahead of plan and build operational momentum as we head into the second half of the year.
“We also took important steps to strengthen our resource base with highly commercial appraisal results in the Wolfcamp B and a successful redevelopment spacing test in the Eagle Ford. These positive results reinforce our confidence in the resource upside potential that exists across our portfolio.
“On the financial front, our disciplined reinvestment rates allowed us to generate free cash flow for the 12th consecutive quarter, and we returned $690 million of capital to shareholders through a combination of dividends and share repurchases.
“As I look ahead, the trajectory of our business also sets us up for a strong outlook in 2024. With current market dynamics, we plan to maintain steady activity levels to optimize returns and allow for the benefits of any service cost deflation to accrue to our shareholders in the form of higher free cash flow generation and higher cash returns,” Muncrief commented.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Devon reported net earnings of $690 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusting for items analysts typically exclude from estimates, the company’s core earnings were $755 million, or $1.18 per diluted share.
Devon’s operating cash flow totaled $1.4 billion in the second quarter. This level of cash flow funded all the company’s capital requirements and resulted in $326 million of free cash flow for the quarter.
At the end of the second quarter, the company had a cash balance of $488 million and an undrawn credit facility of $3 billion. Outstanding debt totaled $6.4 billion and the company’s net debt-to-EBITDAX ratio was 0.7 times. Subsequent to quarter-end, Devon retired $242 million of outstanding debt upon maturity.

RETURN OF CAPITAL
Based on the second-quarter financial performance, Devon declared a fixed-plus-variable dividend of $0.49 per share. The dividend is payable on September 29, 2023, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 2023.
The company also returned capital to shareholders through the execution of its share-repurchase program. In the second quarter, Devon repurchased 3.8 million shares at a total cost of $200 million. Since program inception in late 2021, the company has repurchased 39.6 million shares, at a total cost of $2.1 billion.
OPERATING RESULTS
Oil production averaged 323,000 barrels per day in the second quarter, an increase of 8 percent from the year-ago period. This record-setting oil volume performance was driven by the company’s Delaware Basin asset and accretive bolt-on acquisitions that closed in second half of last year. Total production averaged 662,000 oil-equivalent barrels (Boe) per day for the quarter.
Devon’s upstream program for the second quarter averaged 25 operated drilling rigs and 131 gross operated wells were placed online. Total upstream capital spending was $958 million in the second quarter. Midstream, carbon and corporate capital totaled $60 million in the quarter.
The company’s operating costs, which consists of production expenses, general and administrative (G&A) expenses and financing costs, totaled $14.75 per oil-equivalent barrel (Boe), a 6 percent improvement compared to the 2022 average. The improvement in per-unit costs resulted from a reduction in production taxes, financing expense and administrative costs.
ASSET-LEVEL DETAILS
Delaware Basin: Production averaged 420,000 Boe per day (50 percent oil). Devon operated 16 rigs and 4 completion crews in the quarter, resulting in 76 gross wells placed online, an increase of 81 percent from the previous quarter. The increase in wells placed online during the quarter was driven by timing of activity associated with a temporary fourth completion crew that was contracted for the first half of the year, as well as efficiency gains that compressed project cycle times.
The company’s capital program was diversified across target intervals within the Avalon, Bone Spring and Wolfcamp formations. Activity was highlighted by the Mule development in Eddy County that successfully co-developed multiple zones in the Wolfcamp B, with recoveries estimated to surpass 2 million BOE per well. These highly commercial results de-risk and enhance the economic expectations on approximately 100 Wolfcamp B locations across our acreage position in the area.
In 2023, Devon plans to bring online more than 230 new wells across its Delaware Basin acreage, representing greater than 60 percent of the company’s total capital activity for the year.
Eagle Ford: Production averaged 74,000 Boe per day (60 percent oil), a 9 percent increase from the previous quarter. The volume growth was driven by 29 gross wells placed online balanced between high-impact development opportunities and redevelopment appraisal activity that tested up to 30 wells per section. In 2023, Devon plans to run 3 rigs and bring online more than 90 wells and up to 10 refracs across its 82,000 net acre position.
Williston Basin: Production averaged 56,000 Boe per day (66 percent oil), a 5 percent increase from the previous quarter. The volume growth was driven by the combination of 8 gross wells placed online and improvements achieved in base production performance across the company’s 123,000 net acres in the basin. Devon plans to bring online nearly 40 gross wells in 2023.
Powder River Basin: Production averaged 19,000 Boe per day (72 percent oil). Activity in the quarter was highlighted by the drilling of 3 Niobrara wells, with initial production from this appraisal activity expected by year end. In 2023, Devon plans to drill up to 15 wells across its 300,000 net acre position.
Anadarko Basin: Production averaged 89,000 Boe per day, a 10 percent increase from the previous quarter. The volume growth was driven by 16 gross wells placed online that were funded by a drilling carry from the company’s joint venture with Dow. Devon expects to operate a 3-rig program for the remainder of the year and spud approximately 40 wells in 2023.
2
2023 OUTLOOK
For the full-year 2023, Devon expects to sustain production in the range of 643,000 to 663,000 Boe per day. Total capital investment for the year is expected to range from $3.6 billion to $3.8 billion. These capital requirements in 2023 are estimated to be self-funded at pricing levels as low as a $40 WTI oil price.
The company expects to place online around 90 gross wells in the third quarter, with capital spending expected to approximate $900 million. The decline in capital spending is driven by the drop of a temporary frac crew in the Delaware Basin and efficiency gains that accelerated completion activity into the first half of the year. This level of activity is expected to drive oil production to a range of 322,000 to 330,000 barrels per day in the third quarter.
Additional details of Devon’s forward-looking guidance for the upcoming third quarter and full-year 2023 are available on the company’s website at www.devonenergy.com.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
(all monetary values in millions, except per share amounts)
Devon’s earnings materials include non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are not alternatives to GAAP measures, and you should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Below is additional disclosure regarding each of the non-GAAP measures used in the earnings materials, including reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP measure.
The earnings materials may include forward-looking non-GAAP measures. The company is unable to provide reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures, because components of the calculations are inherently unpredictable, such as changes to current assets and liabilities, the timing of changes in capital accruals, unknown future events and estimating certain future GAAP measures. The inability to reliably quantify certain components of the calculation would significantly affect the usefulness and accuracy of a reconciliation.
CORE EARNINGS
Devon’s reported net earnings include items of income and expense that are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of the company’s financial results. Accordingly, the company also uses the measures of core earnings and core earnings per share attributable to Devon. Devon believes these non-GAAP measures facilitate comparisons of its performance to earnings estimates published by securities analysts. Devon also believes these non-GAAP measures can facilitate comparisons of its performance between periods and to the performance of its peers. The following tables summarize the effects of these items on second- quarter and first-quarter 2023 earnings.

EBITDAX
Devon believes EBITDAX provides information useful in assessing operating and financial performance across periods. Devon computes EBITDAX as net earnings before financing costs, net; income tax expense; exploration expenses; depreciation, depletion and amortization; asset disposition gains and losses; non-cash share-based compensation; non-cash valuation changes for derivatives and financial instruments; accretion on discounted liabilities; and other items not related to normal operations. EBITDAX as defined by Devon may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

NET DEBT
Devon defines net debt as debt (includes short-term and long-term debt) less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Devon believes that netting these sources of cash against debt provides a clearer picture of the future demands on cash from Devon to repay debt.
