Devon Energy Earns $1.2 Billion in First Quarter 2010; Announces Initiation
of Share Repurchase Plan
</pre>
<p><span class="xn-location">OKLAHOMA CITY</span>, <span class="xn-chron">May 5</span> /CNW/ -- Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE: DVN) today reported net earnings of <span class="xn-money">$1.2 billion</span> for the quarter ended <span class="xn-chron">March 31, 2010</span>, or <span class="xn-money">$2.67</span> per common share (<span class="xn-money">$2.66</span> per diluted common share). This compares with a first-quarter 2009 net loss of <span class="xn-money">$4.0 billion</span>, or <span class="xn-money">$8.92</span> per common share (<span class="xn-money">$8.92</span> per diluted common share).</p>
<p/>
<p>Devon also announced today that its board of directors has authorized the repurchase of up to <span class="xn-money">$3.5 billion</span> of the company's common stock. Devon plans to begin purchasing shares immediately. The shares will be acquired in the open market, and the timing of purchases may depend upon market conditions.</p>
<pre>
Earnings of $1.85 per Share Excluding Items Not Estimated by Analysts
</pre>
<p>First-quarter 2010 reported net earnings of <span class="xn-money">$1.2 billion</span> were affected by certain items securities analysts typically exclude from their published estimates. Excluding these adjusting items, Devon earned <span class="xn-money">$831 million</span> or <span class="xn-money">$1.85</span> per diluted common share. The most significant of the adjusting items was a non-cash, unrealized gain on oil and natural gas derivative instruments of <span class="xn-money">$524 million</span> pre-tax (<span class="xn-money">$335 million</span> after tax). This and other adjusting items are discussed in more detail later in this release.</p>
<pre>
Gulf of Mexico and International Divestitures Total $9.9 Billion to Date
</pre>
<p>In 2009, Devon announced it would divest its Gulf of <span class="xn-location">Mexico</span> and international properties. To date, the company has announced sale agreements for the majority of its divestiture assets with aggregate proceeds totaling <span class="xn-money">$9.9 billion</span>, before taxes. In the first quarter of 2010, Devon closed on the sale of three lower tertiary discoveries in the deepwater Gulf of <span class="xn-location">Mexico</span> receiving <span class="xn-money">$1.3 billion</span> pre-tax. Subsequent to quarter-end, the company closed on the sales of its remaining deepwater Gulf of <span class="xn-location">Mexico</span> properties. Devon has now essentially completed its exit of the deepwater Gulf of <span class="xn-location">Mexico</span>. The company expects to close on the remaining asset sales throughout 2010 and finalize the entire restructuring process by year-end. Devon now estimates the total pre-tax proceeds from the divestitures to exceed <span class="xn-money">$10 billion</span> with after-tax proceeds approximating <span class="xn-money">$8 billion</span>.</p>
<p/>
<p>"With Devon's strategic repositioning nearing completion, we could not be more pleased with the results," said J. <span class="xn-person">Larry Nichols</span>, chairman and chief executive officer. "Devon is emerging with a rock-solid balance sheet, a balanced portfolio of oil and gas projects and one of the lowest cost structures in the peer group. This positions the company to deliver low-risk, profitable, organic production growth on a sustainable basis."</p>
<p/>
<p>In accordance with accounting standards, Devon has reclassified the assets, liabilities and results of its international segment as discontinued operations for all accounting periods presented in this release. Although revenues and expenses for prior periods were reclassified, there was no impact upon previously reported net earnings. Included with this release is a table of revenues, expenses, and production categories and the amounts reclassified as discontinued operations for each period presented.</p>
<p/>
<p>Although Devon is in the process of selling all of its Gulf of <span class="xn-location">Mexico</span> assets, these assets do not qualify as discontinued operations under accounting standards. However, information is provided within this release to enable the reader to isolate results of the company's operations that will be retained following the divestitures.</p>
<pre>
First-Quarter Operating Highlights
</pre>
<p>Devon drilled 454 wells in the first quarter of 2010 with a success rate of almost 100 percent. The following are highlights of first-quarter exploration and development activity:</p>
<pre>
-- Gross production from Devon's first Jackfish oil sands project reached
design capacity of 35,000 barrels per day in the first quarter of
2010.
Located in Alberta, Jackfish is 100-percent owned by Devon and has an
estimated 300 million gross barrels of recoverable resource.
-- Construction for the second Jackfish project remains on schedule and
is
now over 75-percent complete. Devon expects Jackfish 2, which is also
sized to produce 35,000 barrels of gross production per day, will
commence steam injection in the second quarter of 2011. The company
also expects to file a regulatory application for a third,
similarly-sized Jackfish project in the third quarter of 2010.
-- In March, Devon announced it will add to its Canadian oil position by
acquiring 50 percent of BP's interest in the Kirby oil sands leases
for
$500 million. The Kirby leasehold lies adjacent to the company's
highly
successful Jackfish project and has estimated gross recoverable
resources of up to 1.5 billion barrels. Devon will operate the
project,
and delineation drilling at Kirby is expected to begin in the second
half of 2010.
-- In its emerging Wolfberry oil play in the Permian Basin, the company
drilled 20 wells and increased net production to approximately 5,000
barrels per day.
-- Also in the first quarter, Devon increased its lease position in the
Cana-Woodford Shale to 180,000 net acres. The company added 16 new
wells to production in the quarter, increasing average net production
in the play to 73 million cubic feet of gas equivalent per day.
-- The company's net production from the Barnett Shale field in north
Texas averaged 1.1 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per
day
in the first quarter of 2010. This was five percent greater than
production in the fourth quarter of 2009.
-- Devon completed three Haynesville Shale wells within Shelby and
Nacogdoches counties in the first quarter. Initial 24-hour production
rates for the three horizontal wells averaged six million cubic feet
of
gas equivalent. Devon has a 100 percent working interest in the wells.
Higher Prices Increase Oil and Gas Sales
</pre>
<p>Sales of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids from continuing operations were <span class="xn-money">$2.1 billion</span> in the first quarter of 2010. Comparable sales for the same period in 2009 were <span class="xn-money">$1.4 billion</span>. This 50 percent increase in sales was attributable to higher realized oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids pricing.</p>
<p/>
<p>Devon's average realized oil price increased 115 percent in the first quarter of 2010, to <span class="xn-money">$67.58</span> per barrel. This compares with an average realized price of <span class="xn-money">$31.41</span> per barrel in the first quarter of 2009. The company's average realized natural gas price increased 29 percent to <span class="xn-money">$4.80</span> per thousand cubic feet in the first quarter of 2010, as compared to <span class="xn-money">$3.73</span> per thousand cubic feet in the year-ago period.</p>
<p/>
<p>Marketing and midstream operating profit was <span class="xn-money">$133 million</span> in the first quarter of 2010. This was a nine percent decrease compared to the first quarter of 2009. The decrease resulted from lower gas marketing margins partially offset by higher commodity prices.</p>
<pre>
Lower Costs in Most Expense Categories
</pre>
<p>First-quarter 2010 expenses in most categories decreased from the first quarter of 2009. Lease operating expenses in the first quarter of 2010 were <span class="xn-money">$414 million</span>, or six percent lower than the year-ago quarter.</p>
<p/>
<p>Taxes other than income taxes increased 13 percent, to <span class="xn-money">$101 million</span> in the first quarter of 2010. This increase was driven by higher production taxes resulting from higher oil and gas revenues.</p>
<p/>
<p>First quarter depreciation, depletion and amortization expense declined by 24 percent in 2010, to <span class="xn-money">$426 million</span>. Unit DD&A was <span class="xn-money">$7.63</span> per Boe in the first quarter of 2010.</p>
<p/>
<p>Devon also reduced costs related to general and administrative expenses (G&A) in the most recent quarter. First-quarter 2010 G&A expense was <span class="xn-money">$138 million</span>, or 16 percent lower than the first quarter of 2009. Operational efficiencies realized through restructuring led to lower G&A expenses for the quarter.</p>
<pre>
Cash Flow Increases 45 Percent; Debt Repayments Further Strengthen Balance
Sheet
</pre>
<p>Cash flow before balance sheet changes reached <span class="xn-money">$1.4 billion</span> in the first quarter of 2010, a 45 percent increase over the first quarter of 2009. In addition, Devon received <span class="xn-money">$1.3 billion</span> of pre-tax proceeds from the sale of three lower tertiary discoveries in the deepwater Gulf of <span class="xn-location">Mexico</span>. Devon utilized this cash in the first-quarter to fully fund its capital program and repay <span class="xn-money">$1.2 billion</span> of commercial paper borrowings. The company ended the quarter with cash on hand of <span class="xn-money">$1.2 billion</span> and a net debt to adjusted capitalization ratio of 22 percent. Reconciliations of cash flow before balance sheet changes, net debt and adjusted capitalization, which are non-GAAP measures, are provided in this release.</p>
<pre>
Items Excluded from Published Earnings Estimates
</pre>
<p>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. These items and their effects upon reported earnings for the first quarter of 2010 were as follows:</p>
<pre>
Items affecting continuing operations:
-- A change in the fair value of oil and natural gas derivative
instruments increased first-quarter earnings by $524 million pre-tax
($335 million after tax).
-- A change in the fair value of other financial instruments decreased
first-quarter earnings by $1 million pre-tax ($1 million after tax).
Items affecting discontinued operations:
-- The decision to divest all international assets generated financial
benefits that increased first-quarter earnings by $41 million pre-tax
($27 million after tax).
</pre>
<p>The following tables summarize the effects of these items on first-quarter 2010 earnings, income taxes and cash flow. Included in the tables are the tax effects resulting from oil and gas property divestitures that did not affect net earnings.</p>

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
</pre>
<p>The <span class="xn-location">United States</span> Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted disclosure requirements for public companies such as Devon concerning Non-GAAP financial measures. (GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles.) The company must reconcile the Non-GAAP financial measure to related GAAP information. Cash flow before balance sheet changes is a Non-GAAP financial measure. Devon believes cash flow before balance sheet changes is relevant because it is a measure of cash available to fund the company's capital expenditures, dividends and to service its debt. Cash flow before balance sheet changes is also used by certain securities analysts as a measure of Devon's financial results.</p>

<p>Devon believes that using net debt for the calculation of "net debt to adjusted capitalization" provides a better measure than using debt. Devon defines net debt as debt less cash and cash equivalents. Devon believes that because cash and cash equivalents can be used to repay indebtedness, netting cash and cash equivalents against debt provides a clearer picture of the future demands on cash to repay debt.</p>
