INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes forward-looking statements regarding our expectations and plans, as well as future events or conditions. Such forward-looking statements are based on our examination of historical operating trends, the information used to prepare our December 31, 2012 reserve reports and other data in our possession or available from third parties. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Consequently, actual future results could differ materially from our expectations due to a number of factors, such as changes in the supply of and demand for oil, natural gas and NGLs and related products and services; exploration or drilling programs; political or regulatory events; general economic and financial market conditions; and other factors discussed in this report.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Devon, or persons acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. We assume no duty to update or revise our forward-looking statements based on new information, future events or otherwise.

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited financial statements and notes of Devon Energy Corporation (“Devon”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in Devon’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements furnished in this report reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of Devon’s results of operations and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and Devon’s financial position as of September 30, 2013.

2. Derivative Financial Instruments

Objectives and Strategies

Devon periodically enters into derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of its oil, gas and NGL production. These instruments are used to manage the inherent uncertainty of future revenues due to commodity price volatility and typically include financial price swaps, basis swaps, costless price collars and call options.

Devon periodically enters into interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate volatility. Devon periodically enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates.

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 contain provisions that provide for collateral payments, depending on levels of exposure and the credit rating of the counterparty.

As of September 30, 2013, Devon held $43 million of cash collateral. Such amount represented the estimated fair value of certain derivative positions in excess of Devon’s credit guidelines. The collateral is reported in other current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet.

Commodity Derivatives

As of September 30, 2013, Devon had the following open oil derivative positions. The first table presents Devon’s oil derivatives that settle against the average of the prompt month NYMEX West Texas Intermediate futures price. The second table presents Devon’s oil derivatives that settle against the Western Canadian Select index.

3. Restructuring Costs

Office Consolidation

In October 2012, Devon announced plans to consolidate its U.S. personnel into a single operations group centrally located at the company’s headquarters in Oklahoma City. As of September 30, 2013, Devon had substantially completed this initiative and incurred $130 million of restructuring costs associated with the office consolidation. The $130 million includes $50 million incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which largely relates to office space that is subject to non-cancellable operating lease agreements that Devon ceased using.

Divestiture of Offshore Assets

In the fourth quarter of 2009, Devon announced plans to divest its offshore assets. Devon completed this divestiture program in 2012, having incurred $196 million of cumulative restructuring costs associated with the divestitures.

Financial Statement Presentation

The schedule below summarizes restructuring costs presented in the accompanying comprehensive statements of earnings related to the office consolidation. There were no costs related to the offshore divestitures in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

5. Income Taxes

In the second quarter of 2013, Devon repatriated to the United States $2.0 billion of cash from its foreign subsidiaries. In conjunction with the repatriation, Devon recognized approximately $100 million of current income tax expense. The current expense was entirely offset by the recognition of deferred income tax benefits, which included the reduction of the deferred tax liability previously recognized for unremitted foreign earnings deemed not to be indefinitely reinvested.

As of September 30, 2013, Devon’s unremitted foreign earnings totaled approximately $6.0 billion. Of this amount, approximately $4.8 billion was deemed to be indefinitely reinvested into the development and growth of Devon’s Canadian business. Therefore, Devon has not recognized a deferred tax liability for U.S. income taxes associated with such earnings. If such earnings were to be repatriated to the U.S., Devon may be subject to U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes. However, it is not practical to estimate the amount of such additional taxes that may be payable due to the inter-relationship of the various factors involved in making such an estimate.

Devon has deemed the remaining $1.2 billion of unremitted foreign earnings not to be indefinitely reinvested. Consequently, Devon has recognized a deferred tax liability of approximately $550 million associated with such unremitted earnings as of September 30, 2013.

Oil and Gas Impairments

Under the full-cost method of accounting, capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, net of accumulated DD&A and deferred income taxes, may not exceed the full cost “ceiling” at the end of each quarter. The ceiling is calculated separately for each country and is based on the present value of estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, discounted at 10 percent per annum, net of related tax effects. Estimated future net cash flows are calculated using end-of-period costs and an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of each of the previous 12 months.

The oil and gas impairments resulted primarily from declines in the U.S. and Canada full cost ceilings. The lower ceiling values resulted primarily from decreases in the 12-month average trailing prices for oil, bitumen and NGLs, which have reduced proved reserve values.

If estimated future cash flows decline due to price decreases or other factors, Devon could incur additional full cost ceiling impairments related to its oil and gas property and equipment.

Midstream Impairments

In the third quarter of 2013 and 2012, Devon determined that the carrying amounts of certain midstream facilities located in south and east Texas were not recoverable from estimated future cash flows due to declining dry natural gas production. Consequently, the assets were written down to their estimated fair values, which were determined using discounted cash flow models. The fair value of Devon’s midstream assets is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement.

During the first nine months of 2013, Devon’s Canadian goodwill decreased $99 million entirely due to foreign currency translation. Additionally, Devon’s U.S. goodwill decreased $26 million due to the sale of certain midstream assets.

13. Debt

Commercial Paper

During the second quarter of 2013, Devon repatriated $2.0 billion of foreign earnings to the United States and repaid $2.0 billion of commercial paper borrowings. As of September 30, 2013, Devon had $1.6 billion of outstanding commercial paper at an average rate of 0.27 percent.

Credit Lines

Devon has a $3.0 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Senior Credit Facility”). During the third quarter of 2013, the lenders agreed, effective October 24, 2013, to extend the maturity date of the Senior Credit Facility to October 24, 2018. As of September 30, 2013 there were no borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. The 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 percent. As of September 30, 2013, Devon was in compliance with this covenant with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 22.4 percent.

16. Stockholders’ Equity

Dividends

Devon paid common stock dividends of $259 million and $242 million in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The quarterly cash dividend was $0.20 per share in the first nine months of 2012 and in the first quarter of 2013. Devon increased the dividend rate to $0.22 per share in the second quarter of 2013.

17. Commitments and Contingencies

Devon is party to various legal actions arising in the normal course of 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 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 natural gas producers and related parties, including Devon, have been named in various lawsuits alleging royalty underpayments. The suits allege that the producers and related parties used below-market prices, made improper deductions, used improper measurement techniques and entered into gas purchase and processing arrangements with affiliates that resulted in underpayment of royalties in connection with natural gas and NGLs produced and sold. Devon’s largest exposure for such matters relates to royalties in New Mexico. Devon does not currently believe that it is subject to material exposure with respect to such royalty matters.

Environmental Matters

Devon is subject to certain laws and regulations relating to environmental remediation activities associated with past operations, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act and similar state statutes. In response to liabilities associated with these activities, loss accruals primarily consist of estimated uninsured remediation costs. Devon’s monetary exposure for environmental matters is not expected to be material.

Chief Redemption Matters

In 2006, Devon acquired Chief Holdings LLC (“Chief”) from the owners of Chief, including Trevor Rees-Jones, the majority owner of Chief. In 2008, a former owner of Chief filed a petition against Rees-Jones, as the former majority owner of Chief, and Devon, as Chief’s successor pursuant to the 2006 acquisition. The petition claimed, among other things, violations of the Texas Securities Act, fraud and breaches of Rees-Jones’ fiduciary responsibility to the former owner in connection with Chief’s 2004 redemption of the owner’s minority ownership stake in Chief.

On June 20, 2011, a court issued a judgment against Rees-Jones for $196 million, of which $133 million of the judgment was also issued against Devon. Devon did not have a legal right of set off with respect to the judgment. Therefore, Devon had recorded a $133 million long-term liability relating to the judgment with an offsetting $133 million long-term receivable relating to its right to be indemnified by Rees-Jones and certain other parties pursuant to the indemnification agreement.

The plaintiffs and Rees-Jones have settled all claims related to the 2004 redemption. Under the terms of the settlement, Rees-Jones and Devon received full releases for all of the plaintiffs’ claims with Rees-Jones funding all settlement payments. Consequently, Devon reversed the previously recorded liability and asset in the first quarter of 2013.

Other Matters

Devon is involved in other various routine legal proceedings incidental to its business. However, to Devon’s knowledge, there were no other material pending legal proceedings to which Devon is a party or to which any of its property is subject.

18. Fair Value Measurements

The following tables provide 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 and accrued expenses included in the accompanying balance sheets approximated fair value at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Therefore, such financial assets and liabilities are not presented in the following tables.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values in the tables above.

Level 1 Fair Value Measurements

Cash equivalents and short-term investments — Amounts consist primarily of U.S. and Canadian treasury securities and money market investments. The fair value approximates the carrying value.

Level 2 Fair Value Measurements

Cash equivalents and short-term investments — Amounts consist primarily of Canadian agency and provincial securities and commercial paper investments. The fair value approximates the carrying value.

Commodity, interest rate and foreign currency derivatives — The fair values of commodity, interest rate and foreign currency derivatives are 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 actively trade in an established market. The fair values of its fixed-rate debt are estimated based on rates available for debt with similar terms and maturity. The fair value of Devon’s variable-rate commercial paper is the carrying value.

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

Long-term investments — Devon’s long-term investments presented in the tables above consisted entirely of auction rate securities. Due to an inactive market for Devon’s auction rate securities, quoted market prices for these securities were not available. Therefore, Devon used valuation techniques that rely on unobservable inputs to estimate the fair values of its long-

term auction rate securities. These inputs were based on continued receipts of principal at par, the collection of all accrued interest to date, the probability of full repayment of the securities considering the U.S. government guarantees substantially all of the underlying student loans, and the AAA credit rating of the securities. As a result of using these inputs, Devon concluded the estimated fair values of its long-term auction rate securities approximated the par values as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Included below is a summary of the changes in Devon’s Level 3 fair value measurements during the first nine months of 2013 and 2012.

19. Segment Information

Devon manages its operations through distinct operating segments, which are defined primarily by geographic areas. For financial reporting purposes, Devon aggregates its U.S. operating segments into one reporting segment due to the similar nature of the businesses. However, Devon’s Canadian operating segment is reported as a separate reporting segment primarily due to the significant differences between the U.S. and Canadian regulatory environments. Devon’s segments are all primarily engaged in oil and gas producing activities. Revenues are all from external customers.

20. Subsequent Event

On October 21, 2013, Devon, Crosstex Energy, Inc. and Crosstex Energy, L.P. (collectively “Crosstex”) announced plans to combine substantially all of Devon’s U.S. midstream assets with Crosstex’s assets to form a new midstream business. The new business will consist of a master limited partnership and a general partner entity (the “Master Limited Partnership” and the “General Partner”), which will both be publicly traded entities.

In exchange for a controlling interest in both the General Partner and the Master Limited Partnership, Devon will contribute its equity interest in a newly formed Devon subsidiary (“Devon Holdings”) and $100 million in cash. Devon Holdings will own Devon’s midstream assets in the Barnett Shale in North Texas and the Cana and Arkoma Woodford Shales in Oklahoma, as well as Devon’s interest in Gulf Coast Fractionators in Mt. Belvieu, Texas. The Master Limited Partnership and the General Partner will each own 50% of Devon Holdings. The completion of these transactions is subject to Crosstex Energy, Inc. shareholder approval.

Upon closing of the transactions, the pro forma ownership of the General Partner will be approximately:

 

   

70% - Devon Energy Corporation

 

   

30% - Current Crosstex Energy, Inc. public stockholders

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 and capital resources and uses for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, compared to the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, and in our financial condition and liquidity since December 31, 2012. For information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

(1) Adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share and adjusted operating cash flow are financial measures not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). For a description of adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share and adjusted operating cash flow as well as reconciliations to the comparable GAAP measures, see “Non-GAAP Measures” in this Item 2.
(2) Computed as revenues from commodity sales, commodity derivatives settlements, and marketing and midstream operations, less expenses for lease operations, marketing and midstream operations, general and administration, taxes other than income taxes and interest, with the result divided by total production.

During the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, our adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share and operating margin per Boe all increased compared to the 2012 periods. The improved 2013 results were driven primarily by increases in gas prices, oil volumes and oil realizations. These factors also contributed to higher adjusted operating cash flow, which when combined with a reduction in capitalized costs, caused our cash flow deficit to narrow considerably in 2013.

During the first nine months of 2013, we recognized noncash asset impairments totaling $2.0 billion ($1.3 billion after tax).

Upstream sales increased $166 million in the third quarter of 2013 due to a 16 percent increase in our liquids production, partially offset by a 7 percent decline in our gas production. As a result of continued development of our oil properties, primarily in the Permian Basin, oil sales increased $151 million. Bitumen sales increased $6 million due to development of our Jackfish thermal heavy oil projects in Canada. Additionally, our NGL sales increased $46 million primarily as a result of continued drilling in the liquids-rich gas portions of the Cana-Woodford and Barnett Shales, as well as the Permian Basin. These increases were partially offset by decreases in our dry gas production, which resulted in a $37 million decline in sales.

Production information for our key properties is summarized below:

 

   

Permian Basin production increased 26 percent compared to the third quarter of 2012 and 7 percent compared to the second quarter of 2013. Oil production accounted for 60 percent of our 82,000 Boe per day produced in the Permian Basin during the third quarter of 2013. The year-over-year increase in total production was driven by a 29 percent increase in oil production.

 

   

Barnett Shale production decreased 3 percent compared to the third quarter of 2012 and 1 percent compared to the second quarter of 2013. Although total production decreased in both periods, liquids production increased 15 percent compared to the third quarter of 2012 and 4 percent compared to the second quarter of 2013. Liquids production accounted for 26 percent of our 1.4 Bcfe per day produced in the Barnett Shale during the third quarter of 2013.

 

   

Cana-Woodford Shale production increased 21 percent compared to the third quarter of 2012 and 6 percent compared to the second quarter of 2013. Liquids production accounted for 37 percent of our 342 MMcfe per day produced in Cana during the third quarter of 2013. The year-over-year increase in total production was driven by a 58 percent increase in liquids production.

 

   

Jackfish production increased 3 percent compared to the third quarter of 2012 and decreased 14 percent compared to the second quarter of 2013. Jackfish production for the third quarter of 2013 was impacted by both a higher royalty rate and a turnaround conducted at Jackfish 2. In June 2013, our Jackfish 1 project reached payout status. Consequently, our Jackfish 1 production is burdened with a higher Canadian provincial government royalty rate that decreases our production net of royalties. Bitumen production accounted for all of our 46,000 Boe per day produced at Jackfish during the third quarter of 2013.

 

   

Granite Wash production increased 14 percent compared to the third quarter of 2012 and decreased 3 percent compared to the second quarter of 2013. Liquids production accounted for 52 percent of our 21,000 Boe per day produced in the Granite Wash during the third quarter of 2013.

 

   

Mississippian-Woodford Trend production increased 65 percent compared to the second quarter of 2013 to 9,000 Boe per day. Oil production accounted for 61 percent of our total production in the Mississippian-Woodford Trend during the third quarter of 2013.

 

   

Rocky Mountain production decreased 5 percent compared to the third quarter of 2012. Although total production was down, oil production increased 34 percent compared to the third quarter of 2012. Liquids production accounted for 33 percent of our 326 MMcfe per day produced in the Rocky Mountains during the third quarter of 2013.

 

   

Gulf Coast/East Texas production decreased 13 percent compared to the third quarter of 2012. Liquids production accounted for 27 percent of our 317 MMcfe per day produced in Gulf Coast/East Texas during the third quarter of 2013.

 

   

Lloydminster production decreased 11 percent compared to the third quarter of 2012. Oil production accounted for 94 percent of our 29,000 Boe per day produced at Lloydminster during the third quarter of 2013.

Upstream sales increased $437 million in the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to a 32 percent increase in our realized price without hedges. Oil and bitumen sales were the most significantly impacted with a combined $304 million increase due to prices and realizations. Gas sales increased $141 million largely due to higher North American regional index prices upon which our gas sales are based. NGL sales decreased $8 million as a result of a 2 percent decline in our realized price without hedges. The largest contributors to the higher liquids prices were an increase in the average NYMEX West Texas Intermediate index price and tighter bitumen and heavy oil differentials partially offset by lower NGL prices at the Mont Belvieu, Texas index.

The volume and price changes in the preceding tables caused the following changes to our oil, gas and NGL sales between the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Upstream sales increased $448 million in the first nine months of 2013 due to a 14 percent increase in our liquids production, partially offset by a 7 percent decline in our gas production. As a result of continued development of our oil properties, primarily in the Permian Basin, oil sales increased $376 million. Bitumen sales increased $50 million due to development of our Jackfish thermal heavy oil projects in Canada. Additionally, our NGL sales increased $126 million primarily as a result of continued drilling in the liquids-rich gas portions of the Cana-Woodford and Barnett Shales, as well as the Permian Basin. These increases were partially offset by decreases in our dry gas production, which resulted in a $104 million decline in sales.

Upstream sales increased $649 million during the first nine months of 2013 due to a 20 percent increase in our realized price without hedges. Our gas sales increased $633 million due to prices. The change in our gas price was largely due to higher North American regional index prices upon which our gas sales are based. Our liquids sales had a slight increase of $16 million due to higher oil and bitumen sales partially offset by lower NGL sales. The largest contributors to the higher liquids prices were an increase in the average NYMEX West Texas Intermediate index price and tighter bitumen and heavy oil differentials partially offset by lower NGL prices at the Mont Belvieu, Texas index.

(1) Cash settlements of oil hedges include settlements from our Western Canadian Select basis swaps presented in Note 2 to the financial statements included in “Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements” of this report.

Cash settlements presented in the tables above represent realized gains or losses related to various commodity derivatives. In addition to cash settlements, we also recognize unrealized changes in the fair values of our commodity derivatives in each reporting period. The changes in fair value result from new positions and settlements that occur during each period, as well as the relationships between contract prices and the associated forward curves. Including the cash settlements discussed above, our commodity derivatives incurred a net loss of $141 million and $295 million in the third quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. Including the cash settlements discussed above, our commodity derivatives incurred a net loss of $95 million and generated a net gain of $515 million in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

LOE increased $1.23 per Boe and $0.70 per Boe during the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively. The largest contributor to the higher unit cost is related to our liquids production growth, particularly in the Permian Basin and Mississippian in the U.S. Such projects generally require a higher cost to produce per unit than our gas projects. Additionally, we conducted a turnaround at Jackfish 2 in the third quarter of 2013, contributing to higher absolute and unit costs for the quarter. We experienced upward pressures on costs in certain operating areas, which also contributed to the higher LOE per Boe.

DD&A from our oil and gas properties decreased in both 2013 periods largely as a result of the asset impairment charges recognized in 2012 and 2013. DD&A from our other properties increased in both 2013 periods largely from the construction of our new headquarters in Oklahoma City and natural gas pipeline development in the Cana-Woodford Shale.

Taxes other than income taxes as a percentage of oil, gas and NGL revenue decreased during the third quarter of 2013 and first nine months of 2013 primarily due to ad valorem and other taxes that do not change in direct correlation with oil, gas and NGL revenues as well as higher Canadian revenues with no associated production taxes.

Interest expense decreased in the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher capitalized interest. Interest expense increased in the first nine months of 2013 primarily due to higher average debt borrowings, partially offset by lower weighted average interest rates. Borrowings were primarily used to fund capital expenditures in excess of our operating cash flow.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $50 million of restructuring costs associated with the consolidation of our U.S. personnel into one location in Oklahoma City. This amount includes $25 million related to office space that is subject to non-cancellable operating lease agreements that we ceased using as a part of the office consolidation. We also recognized $6 million of asset impairment charges for leasehold improvements and furniture associated with the office consolidation.

Oil and Gas Impairments

Under the full-cost method of accounting, capitalized costs of oil and gas properties are subject to a quarterly full cost ceiling test, which is discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements under “Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements” of this report.

The oil and gas impairments resulted primarily from declines in the U.S. and Canada full cost ceilings. The lower ceiling values resulted primarily from decreases in the 12-month average trailing prices for oil, bitumen and NGLs, which have reduced proved reserve values.

If estimated future cash flows decline due to price decreases or other factors, Devon could incur additional full cost ceiling impairments related to its oil and gas property and equipment.

Midstream Impairments

In the third quarter of 2013 and 2012, we determined that the carrying amounts of certain of our midstream facilities located in south and east Texas were not recoverable from estimated future cash flows due to declining dry natural gas production. Consequently, the assets were written down to their estimated fair values, which were determined using discounted cash flow models.

Income Taxes

In the second quarter of 2013, we repatriated to the United States $2.0 billion of cash from our foreign subsidiaries. In conjunction with the repatriation, we recognized approximately $100 million of current income tax expense. The current expense was entirely offset by the recognition of deferred income tax benefits, which included the reduction of the deferred tax liability previously recognized for unremitted foreign earnings deemed not to be indefinitely reinvested.
