NEWS RELEASE

Devon Energy Reports Third-Quarter 2016 Results

OKLAHOMA CITY – Nov. 1, 2016 – Devon Energy Corp. (NYSE: DVN) today reported operational and financial results for the third quarter of 2016 and provided guidance for the fourth quarter of 2016.

Highlights

 

•

Achieved record-setting well results in U.S. resource plays

 

•

Increased STACK production 38 percent year over year

 

•

Decreased lease operating expenses 37 percent from peak rates

 

•

Expected cost savings to reach $1 billion in 2016

 

•

Completed $3.2 billion asset divestiture program

 

•

Repurchased $1.2 billion of debt

“Devon delivered an outstanding operational performance in the third quarter,” said Dave Hager, president and CEO. “Our development programs generated the best quarterly drill-bit results in Devon’s 45 year history. These prolific well results were centered in the STACK play, where production increased by 38 percent. We also continued to achieve significant cost savings in the quarter and we are on pace to reduce operating and G&A expenses by $1 billion in 2016.”

“In addition to our strong operating performance, we were able to successfully complete our $3.2 billion divestiture program,” Hager said. “These accretive transactions strengthened our investment-grade position and significantly reduced our leverage from earlier this year. This improved financial strength allows us to further accelerate investment in our best-in-class U.S. resource plays, led by the STACK and Delaware Basin.”

Record-Setting Well Results in U.S. Resource Plays

Total production averaged 577,000 oil-equivalent barrels (Boe) per day in the third quarter of 2016. Excluding divestiture properties, production from Devon’s retained asset base amounted to 550,000 Boe per day. With the shift to higher-margin production, oil is now the largest component of the company’s product mix at 45 percent of total volumes. To further enhance the profitability of production, Devon rejected approximately 6,000 barrels per day of ethane during the third quarter.

The majority of Devon’s retained asset production was attributable to its U.S. resource plays, which averaged 410,000 Boe per day. Production in the third quarter benefited from new well activity that achieved record-setting productivity. In aggregate, Devon commenced production on 20 development wells, with initial 30-day rates averaging an all-time quarterly high of 2,000 Boe per day. These prolific results were concentrated in the company’s STACK play, where production increased 38 percent year over year.

In Canada, Devon’s heavy-oil operations also delivered impressive results with net oil production reaching 137,000 barrels per day in the third quarter. Driven by the industry-leading performance of the Jackfish complex, Canadian oil production increased 13 percent compared to the third quarter of 2015.

In the upcoming fourth quarter, oil production from retained assets is expected to be relatively stable compared to the third quarter, ranging between 238,000 and 248,000 barrels per day. Key drivers of the stabilized oil production are high activity levels in the STACK and accelerated completion activity in the Eagle Ford. Top-line production from retained assets is projected to range between 524,000 and 546,000 Boe per day in the fourth quarter.

Operating and G&A Cost Savings to Reach $1 Billion in 2016

Devon’s successful cost-reduction initiatives resulted in lease operating expenses (LOE) of $355 million in the third quarter, which was 7 percent below the low end of guidance. This strong cost result represents a decline of 37 percent from peak costs in mid-2015. The decrease in LOE was primarily driven by improved power and water-handling infrastructure, declining labor expense and lower supply chain costs.

The company also realized significant general and administrative (G&A) cost savings. Net G&A expenditures declined to $141 million in the third quarter. Including capitalized costs, total G&A expense declined to $195 million, a 44 percent improvement compared to peak rates in early 2015. The decrease was driven by reduced personnel costs.

Due to the strong cost performance achieved year to date, the company is lowering its full-year 2016 LOE outlook by $55 million to a midpoint of $1.6 billion. With this improved outlook, Devon is on track to reduce LOE, production taxes and G&A costs by $1 billion compared to 2015.

Upstream Revenue Rises; EnLink Profitability Expands

Improving commodity prices advanced the company’s upstream revenue to $1.1 billion in the third quarter, with per-unit realizations increasing 13 percent compared to the previous quarter. Oil revenue increased to 67 percent of total upstream sales in the third quarter.

Devon’s midstream results also improved, with operating profits totaling $210 million in the third quarter, bringing the year-to-date total to $619 million. This steady source of profitability was driven by the company’s investment in EnLink Midstream. Year-to-date, EnLink-related operating profit has expanded 7 percent compared to the same period in 2015.

EnLink’s growing profitability is derived from an asset base that is positioned in some of the most attractive markets in North America, including the STACK, Midland Basin, Delaware Basin and an NGL business that services end-user demand along the Gulf Coast. In aggregate, the company’s ownership in EnLink is valued at approximately $3.5 billion and will generate cash distributions of $270 million in 2016.

Divestiture Program Complete: Proceeds Reach $3.2 Billion

Devon’s divestiture program is now complete with total proceeds reaching $3.2 billion. During the quarter, the company closed on the sale of non-core assets in the Midland Basin, East Texas and Granite Wash for $1.8 billion. With the closing of these transactions, the company’s upstream divestiture proceeds have reached $2.1 billion.

Subsequent to quarter end, on Oct. 6, 2016, the company closed on the sale of its 50 percent interest in the Access Pipeline for USD $1.1 billion. In addition to these initial proceeds, Devon also has the right to receive an incremental USD $120 million payment with the sanctioning and development of a new thermal-oil project on Devon’s Pike lease in Alberta, Canada. The sale agreement further allows for Access Pipeline tolls to be reduced by as much as 30 percent with the future development of multiple projects at Pike.

Significant Liquidity and Financial Strength

Devon’s financial position remains exceptionally strong, with investment-grade credit ratings and excellent liquidity. The company exited the third quarter with $2.4 billion of cash on hand. Adjusted for the Access Pipeline sale, cash balances reached $3.5 billion.

In August, the company successfully tendered for $1.2 billion of debt, which is expected to reduce interest expense by $54 million annually. With the tendering activity focused on near-term maturities, Devon has no significant long-term debt maturities until mid-2021.

At the end of September, the company’s consolidated debt totaled $11.4 billion. Excluding non-recourse EnLink obligations and adjusting for Access Pipeline proceeds, adjusted net debt has declined to $4.7 billion.

Devon Increases Hedging Position in 2017

In recent months, Devon has had the opportunity to materially increase its hedging position in 2017. For oil volumes, Devon has utilized a combination of swaps and collars to hedge 83,000 barrels per day of production. For gas volumes, Devon now has 390 million cubic feet per day of production. These hedging positions represent more than 30 percent of current oil and natural gas production.

The company expects to continue to add to its hedging position and is targeting to have approximately 50 percent of its estimated revenues protected in 2017. This risk-management program will be a combination of systematic hedges added on a quarterly basis and discretionary hedges that take advantage of favorable market conditions.

Operating Cash Flow Grows 117 Percent; Earnings Beat Wall Street Consensus

Operating cash flow reached $726 million in the third quarter, a 117 percent increase compared to the second quarter of 2016. Combined with proceeds received from the sale of non-core assets, Devon’s total cash inflows for the quarter reached $2.4 billion.

Devon’s reported net earnings totaled $993 million or $1.89 per diluted share in the third quarter. These earnings results were impacted by certain items securities analysts typically exclude from their published estimates, with the most significant of these items being $1.4 billion in gains related to U.S. asset sales. Excluding these gains and other adjusting items, Devon’s core earnings were $47 million or $0.09 per diluted share, exceeding consensus analyst estimates.

Devon’s core earnings calculation in the third quarter was negatively impacted by an $85 million, non-cash tax charge. Excluding this charge, the company’s core earnings would have been $0.16 per share higher, further widening the margin of outperformance versus analyst expectations.

Updated 2016 Outlook

Detailed forward-looking guidance for the fourth quarter of 2016 is provided later in the release. Based on year-to-date results and Devon’s fourth-quarter outlook, most operating and financial metrics remain relatively unchanged compared to previous guidance disclosures.

Of note, in the fourth quarter, the company expects to increase its rig activity in the U.S. from five operated rigs running in the third quarter to as many as 10 operated rigs by year end. This activity is expected to result in approximately $400 million to $425 million of E&P capital expenditures in the fourth quarter.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

Pursuant to regulatory disclosure requirements, Devon is required to reconcile non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures to the related GAAP information. Net debt, adjusted net debt, core earnings, and core earnings per share referenced within the commentary of this release are non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations and other important information regarding these non-GAAP measures are provided within the tables of this release.

The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions for such terms, and price and cost sensitivities for such reserves, and prohibits disclosure of resources that do not constitute such reserves. This release may contain certain terms, such as resource potential, potential locations, risk and unrisked locations, estimated ultimate recovery (or EUR), exploration target size and other similar terms. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized. The SEC guidelines strictly prohibit us from including these estimates in filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 10-K, available at www.devonenergy.com.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release includes 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 this press release, including reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP measure.

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 table summarizes the effects of these items on third-quarter 2016 earnings.

 

		Quarter Ended September 30, 2016
(in millions, except per share amounts)		Before-tax				After-tax				After Noncontrolling Interests				Per Share
		(Millions)
Earnings attributable to Devon (GAAP)		$	1,178			$	1,007			$	993			$	1.89
Adjustments:
Gains on asset sales			(1,351	)			(787	)			(787	)			(1.48	)
Deferred tax asset valuation allowance			—				(408	)			(408	)			(0.78	)
Fair value changes in financial instruments and foreign currency			(16	)			(3	)			(3	)			(0.01	)
Restructuring and transaction costs			(5	)			(3	)			(3	)			(0.01	)
Early retirement of debt			84				53				53				0.10
Asset impairments			319				202				202				0.38
Core earnings attributable to Devon (Non-GAAP) (1)		$	209			$	61			$	47			$	0.09

 

(1)	Devon’s core earning calculation was negatively impacted by an $85 million, non-cash tax charge or $0.16 per share.

NET DEBT AND ADJUSTED NET DEBT

Devon defines net debt as debt less cash and cash equivalents and net debt attributable to the consolidation of EnLink Midstream as presented in the following table. Adjusted net debt is net debt further adjusted for the proceeds Devon received from the Access Pipeline divestiture transaction that closed in October of 2016 or the cash consideration for the Felix acquisition. Devon believes that adjusting for these items, including the asset sale proceeds and the Felix cash consideration, against debt and adjusting for EnLink net debt provides a clearer picture of the future demands on cash from Devon to repay debt.
