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 new cash flow statement guidance dictating the presentation of shares exchanged for tax-withholding purposes as a financing activity. The adoptionStateline area of the new guidance did not materially impactDelaware Basin. Under the consolidated financial statementsterms 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017 or previously reported financial information but could have a more material future impact.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill And Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amountinvestment in Catalyst as part of step two of the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. However, the impairment loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04equity method investment. Devon's investment in Catalyst is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including any interim impairment testsshown within those annual periods, with early application for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. In January 2017, Devon elected to early adopt ASU 2017-04, and the adoption had no impactinvestments on the consolidated financial statements. Devon will perform future goodwill impairment tests according to ASU 2017-04.

Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

The FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognitionbalance sheets and industry-specific guidance in Subtopic 932-605, Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas – Revenue Recognition. This ASU provides guidance concerning the recognition and measurementDevon's share of revenue from contracts with customers. Its objective is to increase the usefulnessCatalyst earnings are reflected as a component of informationother, net in the financial statements regarding the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenues. The effective date for ASU 2014-09 was delayed through the issuance of ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Deferral of the Effective Date, to annual and interim periods beginning in 2018, with early adoption permitted in 2017. Devon has not early adopted this ASU. The ASU is required to be adopted using either the retrospective transition method, which requires restating previously reported results or the cumulative effect (modified retrospective) transition method, which utilizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption to account for prior period effects rather than restating previously reported results. Devon intends to use the cumulative effect transition method and does not anticipate this ASU will have a material impact on its balance sheet or relatedaccompanying consolidated statements of earnings, equity or cash flows.

Acquisitions

In September 2022, Devon beginning January 1, 2019completed its acquisition of producing properties and will be applied using a modified retrospective transition method, which requires applying the new guidance to leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest periodleasehold interests located in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted, but Devon does not plan to early adopt. Devon is in the processEagle Ford for cash consideration of evaluating contracts and gathering the necessary terms and data elements for purposesapproximately $1.7 billion, net of determining the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Recently, the FASB issued Proposed Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-290, Leases (Topic 842), Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842. This proposed ASU would permit an entity not to apply Topic 842 to land easements and rights-of-way that exist or expired before the effective date of Topic 842 and that were not previously assessed under Topic 840.An entity would continue to apply its current accounting policy for accounting for land easements that existed before the effective date of Topic 842. Once an entity adopts Topic 842, it would apply that Topic prospectively to all new (or modified) land easements and rights-of-way to determine whether the arrangement should be accounted for as a lease. For Devon, these contracts represent a relatively small percentage of the aggregate value of contracts being evaluated but represent a significant number of contracts.

Based on continuing research, Devon estimates a large number of contracts and data elements must be gathered and reviewed to ensure proper accounting of these contracts once this ASU is effective. Devon anticipates the adoption of this standard will significantly impact its consolidated financial statements, systems, processes and controls and is evaluating technology requirements and solutions needed to comply with the requirements of this ASU.

The FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This ASU will require entities to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same line item as other employee compensation costs and present the other components of net periodic benefit cost outside of operating income in the statement of earnings. Only the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is eligible for capitalization. This ASU is effective for Devon beginning January 1, 2018, and presentation changes in the statement of earnings will be applied retrospectively, while service cost component capitalization will be applied prospectively. Upon adoption of this ASU, Devon will reclassify $7 million, $14 million and $16 million of non-service cost components of net periodic benefit costs for 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, as other nonoperating items. Such amounts are currently classified in Devon’s G&A. No other changes upon adopting this ASU are expected to be material.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

Devon Acquisitions

In January 2016, Devon acquired approximately 80,000 net acres (unaudited) and assets in the STACK play for approximately $1.5 billion. Devon funded the acquisition with $849 million of cash, after adjustments, and $659 million of common equity shares. The purchase price allocation was approximately $1.3 billion to unproved properties and approximately $200 million to proved properties.

2017 Devon Asset Divestitures

In May 2017, Devon announced a program to divest approximately $1 billion of upstream assets. The non-core assets identified for monetization include select portions of the Barnett Shale focused primarily in and around Johnson County and other properties located principally within Devon’s U.S. resource base. Through September 30, 2017, Devon completed divestiture transactions totaling approximately $400 million, before purchase price adjustments. EstimatedAdditionally, 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 is approximately 87 MMBoe and 66 MMBoe, respectively. Each of these acquisitions were less than 1%accounted for as asset acquisitions as substantially all of total U.S. proved reserves.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.

2016 Contingent Earnout Payments

Devon Asset Divestitures

In the second quarter of 2016, Devon divested non-core assets for approximately $200 million. Estimated proved reservesis entitled to contingent earnout payments associated with these assets were less than 1%the sale of total U.S. proved reserves.

In the third quarter of 2016, in several separate transactions with different purchasers, Devon divested non-core upstream assets located in east Texas, the Anadarko Basin and the Midland Basin for approximately $1.7 billion. Estimated proved reserves associated with these assets were approximately 146 MMBoe, or approximately 9% of total U.S. proved reserves.

Proceeds from the transactions were used primarily for debt repayment and to support capital investment in Devon’s core resource plays.

The divestiture transactions that closed in the third quarter of 2016 significantly altered the costs and reserves relationship of Devon’s U.S. cost center. Therefore, Devon recognized a $1.4 billion gain in the third quarter of 2016 associated with these divestitures. A summary of the gain computation follows.

EnLink Acquisitions

In January 2016, EnLink acquired Anadarko Basin gathering and processing midstream assets, along with dedicated acreage service rights and service contracts, for approximately $1.4 billion. The purchase price allocation was $1.0 billion to intangible assets and approximately $400 million to property and equipment. EnLink funded the acquisition with approximately $215 million of General Partner common units and approximately $800 million of cash, primarily funded with the issuance of EnLink preferred units. The remaining $500 million of the purchase price was to be paid within one year with the option to defer $250 million of the final payment 24 months from the close date. The first installment payment of $250 million was paid in January 2017. The remaining $250 million payment is reported in other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The accretion of the discount is reported within net financing costs in the accompanying consolidated comprehensive statement of earnings.

In August 2016, EnLink formed a joint venture to operate and expand its midstreamBarnett Shale assets in the Delaware Basin. 2020 with upside participation beginning at a $2.75 Henry Hub natural gas price or a $50 WTI oil price. The joint venture is initially owned 50.1% by EnLinkcontingent payment period commenced on January 1, 2021 and 49.9% by the joint venture partner. EnLink contributed approximately $244 millionhas a term of existing non-monetary assets to the joint venture and committed an additional $262four years. Devon received $65 million in capitalcontingent earnout payments related to fund potential future development projects and potential acquisitions. The joint venture partner committed an aggregate of approximately $400 million of capital, including initial cash contributions of approximately $138 million, and granted EnLink call rights beginningthis transaction in 2021 to acquire increasing portions of the joint venture partner’s interest.

EnLink Asset Divestitures

During the first quarter of 2017, EnLink divested its ownership interest2023 and 2022 and could receive up to an additional $130 million in Howard Energy Partnerscontingent 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 March 31, 2023 consolidated balance sheet was approximately $190 million.$53 million and $35 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 related to the sale of non-core assets in the Rockies in the first quarter of 2023 and 2022.

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 to hedge future prices received. Additionally, Devon and EnLink periodically enterenters into derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of theirits oil, gas and NGL marketing activities. These commodity derivative financial instruments include financial price swaps, basis swaps and costless price collars. Devon periodically enters into interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate volatility and foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the U.S. and Canadian dollar exchange rates. As of September 30, 2017, Devon did not have any open foreign exchange contracts.

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.

  Commodity Derivatives

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 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.

Commodity Derivatives

As of March 31, 2023, 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 WTI futures price.

Share-Based Compensation

In the second quarter of 2017, Devon’s stockholders approved the 2017 Plan. The 2017 Plan replaces the 2015 Plan. From the effective date of the 2017 Plan, no further awards may be made under the 2015 Plan, and awards previously granted will continue to be governed by the terms of the respective award documents. Subject to the terms of the 2017 Plan, awards may be made for a total of 33.5 million shares of Devon common stock, plus the number of shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan (including shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2015 Plan that are transferred to the 2017 Plan in accordance with its terms). The 2017 Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee, which consists of independent, non-management members of Devon’s Board of Directors, to grant nonqualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock awards or units, Canadian restricted stock units, performance units and stock appreciation rights to eligible employees. The 2017 Plan also authorizes the grant of nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards or units and stock appreciation rights to non-employee directors. To calculate the number of shares that may be granted in awards under the 2017 Plan, options and stock appreciation rights represent one share and other awards represent 2.3 shares.

The following table presents the effects of share-based compensation expense included in Devon’s accompanying consolidated comprehensive statements of comprehensive earnings. Gross G&A expense for the first nine months of 2017 and 2016 includes $28 million and $18 million, respectively, of unit-based compensation related to grants made under EnLink’s long-term incentive plans.

The vesting for certain share-based awards was accelerated in 2016 in conjunction with the reduction of workforce described in Note 6. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, approximately $60 million of associated expense for these accelerated awards is included in restructuring and transaction costs in the accompanying consolidated comprehensive statements of earnings.

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% 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 pricesliability revisions resulted in effect on the first day of each of the previous 12 months.

The oil and gas impairmentsa $96 million benefit in 2016 resulted from declines in the U.S. and Canada full cost ceilings. The lower ceiling values resulted primarily from significant decreases in the 12-month average trailing prices for oil, bitumen, gas and NGLs, which significantly reduced proved reserves values and, to a lesser degree, proved reserves.

EnLink Goodwill Impairments

In the first quarter of 2016, EnLink recognized goodwill impairments. See Note 122022.

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

Reduction in Workforce

In the first nine months of 2016, Devon recognized $229 million in employee-related costs associated with a reduction in workforce. Of these employee-related costs, approximately $60 million resulted from accelerated vesting of share-based grants, which are noncash charges. Additionally, approximately $30 million resulted from estimated settlements of defined retirement benefits.

As a result of the reduction of workforce, Devon ceased using certain office space that was subject to non-cancellable operating lease arrangements. Devon recognized restructuring costs that represent the present value of its future obligations under the leases and impairment charges for leasehold improvements and furniture associated with the office space it ceased using.

Transaction Costs

In the first nine months of 2016, Devon and EnLink recognized transaction costs primarily associated with the closing of the acquisitions discussed in Note 2.

Devon estimates its annual effectiveOn August 16, 2022 the IRA was signed into law and included various income tax raterelated provisions with effective dates generally beginning in recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in2023. Among the various jurisdictions in whichenacted provisions are a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax ("CAMT") and several new and expanded clean energy credits and incentives. Dependent upon future regulations, Devon believes it operates. Statutory tax rate changes and other significant or unusual items are recognized as discrete items in the quarter in which they occur.

Throughout 2016 and through the first nine months of 2017, Devon continued to maintain a 100% valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets resulting from prior year cumulative financial losses largely due to full cost impairments. Furthermore, a partial allowance continues to be held against certain Canadian segment deferred tax assets.

Devon provided an additional $796 millionis subject to the U.S. segment valuation allowance inCAMT as Devon has an average annual adjusted financial statement income that exceeds $1 billion for the first nine months of 2016 based on the financial loss recorded during the period. Also, during the third quarter of 2016, Devon’s Canadian segment recorded a $71 million partial valuation allowance. Devon reduced its U.S. segment valuation allowance by $348 million in the first nine months of 2017 based on the financial income recorded during the period.three-year period ended December 31, 2022.

Also in the table above, the “other” effect is primarily composed of permanent differences for which dollar amounts do not increase or decrease in relation to the change in pre-tax earnings. Generally, such items have an insignificant impact on our effective income tax rate. However, these items have a more noticeable impact to our rate in the third quarter of 2017 due to lower relative earnings during the period. During the third quarter of 2017, “other” is primarily related to the taxation of foreign earnings and other financing items.

In the first quarter of 2016, EnLink recorded goodwill impairments totaling $873 million. These impairments are not deductible for purposes of calculating2023, Devon recognized income tax and, therefore, have ancredits associated with its qualified research activities performed during the 2018 to 2021 tax years.

Devonof these credits is under auditincluded within Other in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions as part of its normal course of business. The timing of resolution of income tax examinations is uncertain as are the amounts and timing of tax payments that are part of any audit settlement process. Devon believes that within the next 12 months it is reasonably possible that certain tax examinations will be resolved by settlement with the taxing authorities.table above.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Devon performs an annual impairment test of goodwill at October 31, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may not be recoverable. Sustained weakness in the overall energy sector driven by low commodity prices, together with a decline in EnLink’s unit price, caused a noncash goodwill impairment of $873 million in the first quarter of 2016. This consisted of a full impairment charge of $93 million related to EnLink’s Crude and Condensate reporting unit and partial impairments to EnLink’s Texas and General Partner reporting units of $473 million and $307 million, respectively.

Asset Divestitures

During the third quarter of 2016, Devon derecognized $197 million of goodwill in conjunction with the upstream oil and gas asset divestitures discussed in Note 2.

Contingencies

Devon is party to various legal actions arising in the normal course ofconnection 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.

plaintiffs seek to certify classes of similarly situated plaintiffs. Among the allegations typically asserted in these suits allegeare claims that the producers and related partiesDevon 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 does not currently believebelieves that it is subjectin 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 material exposureland 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 such royalty matters.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.

Cash equivalents – Amounts consist primarily of money market investments and U.S. and Canadian treasury securities. Thethe fair value approximates the carrying value.

Level 2 Fair Value Measurements

Cash equivalentsCommodity derivatives Amounts consist primarily of commercial paper and Canadian agency and provincial securities investments. The fair value approximates the carrying value.

Debt – Devon’s debt instruments do not consistently trade actively trade in an established market. The fair values of its debt are estimated based on rates available for debt with similar terms and maturity. The fair value ofmaturity when active trading is not available.

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

Contingent Earnout Payments – Devon has the credit facility balance isright to receive contingent consideration related to the carrying value.

Installment payment – The fair value of the EnLink installment payment wasBarnett asset divestiture based on Level 2 inputs from third-party market quotations.

Capital lease obligations – The fair value was calculated using inputs from third-party banks.

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 E&P 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 U.S. and Canadian segments are both primarily engaged infuture oil and gas E&P activities.

Devon considers EnLink, combined with the General Partner, to be an operating segment that is distinct from the U.S.prices. These values were derived using a Monte Carlo valuation model and Canadian operating segments. EnLink’s operations consist of midstream assets and operations located across the U.S. Additionally, EnLink has a management team that is primarily responsible for capital and resource allocation decisions. Therefore, EnLink is presentedqualify as a separate reporting segment.level 3 fair value measurement. For additional information, see Note 2.

Except for balance sheet amounts, which are presented as of September 30.

During the first nine months of 2017, we generated solid operating results with our three-fold strategy of operating in North America’s bestdiverse, top-tier resource plays delivering superior execution and maintainingprovide a high degreedeep inventory of financial strength. Led by our development in the STACK, we continuedopportunities for years to improve our 90-day initial production rates. With investments in proprietary data tools, predictive analytics and artificial intelligence, we are delivering industry-leading, initial-rate well productivity performance and improving the performance of our established wells. Even though our 2017 production volumes have declined from 2016 due to reduced capital investment, we estimate our highest-margin U.S. oil production from retained assets will exit 2017 at levels approximately 20% higher than year-end 2016.

Compared to 2016, commodity prices increased significantly and were the primary driver for improvements in Devon’s operating margins, earnings and cash flow during the first nine months of 2017. We exitedcome. In the third quarter of 20172022, 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:

First quarter oil production totaled 320 MBbls/d, which was an 11% increase from the first quarter of 2022.
Expanded our authorized share repurchase program to $3.0 billion in May 2023, and through April 2023 have repurchased approximately 38.5 million of our common shares for $2.0 billion, or $51.91 per share, since inception of the plan.
Exited the first quarter with liquidity comprised of $2.8$3.9 billion of cash and $2.9liquidity, including $0.9 billion of available credit undercash.
Generated $1.7 billion of operating cash flow in the first quarter of 2023 and $8.4 billion for the past twelve trailing months.
Including variable dividends, paid dividends of approximately $596 million in the first quarter of 2023 and have declared approximately $461 million of dividends to be paid in the second quarter of 2023.

We remain committed to capital discipline and delivering the objectives that underpin our Senior Credit Facility. We have no significant debt maturities until 2021. At September 30, 2017, we also had approximately 65%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 recent geopolitical events.

We expect to further enhance our financial strength with our announced $1 billion asset divestiture program. The planned divestitures include select portions of the Barnett Shale focused primarily in and around Johnson County and other properties located principally within Devon’s U.S. resource base. Through September 30, 2017, we have closed non-core divestitures totaling approximately $400 million under this program.Production Volumes

From the fourth quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of 2023, realized prices contributed to a higher average WTI crude$429 million decrease in earnings. Unhedged realized oil, index price. Additionally, our bitumen sales benefited from tighter heavy oil differentials. The increases in gas and NGL sales wereprices decreased primarily due to higher North American regional index prices upon which our gas sales are basedlower WTI, Henry Hub and higher NGL prices at the Mont Belvieu Texas hub.

Included as a decline in production volumes. In 2016, we significantly reduced our drilling and completion capital programs in response to depressed commodity prices. Consequently, production from our retained U.S. assets, other than STACK, steadily declined throughout 2016 and into 2017. Our 2016 asset divestiture program also caused our volumes to decline significantly in the third and fourth quarterscomponent of 2016. Additionally, Hurricane Harvey negatively impacted our third quarter 2017 production in the Eagle Ford as we temporarily suspended operations.

Production expenses decreased from the fourth quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to a decrease in production taxes which resulted from lower commodity derivatives. In additionprices. This decrease in production expenses was partially offset by an increase in LOE.

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 settlements, we alsomargins by asset.

Included as a component of oil, gas and NGL derivatives on the consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings.

We recognize fair value changes on our oil, gas and NGL derivative instruments in each reporting period. The changes in fair value resulted from new positions and settlements that occurred during each period, as well as the relationshipsrelationship between contract prices and the associated forward curves. Including the cash settlements discussed above, our oil, gas and NGL derivatives incurred a net loss in the third quarter of 2017 and generated a net gain in the third quarter of 2016. Including the cash settlements discussed above, our oil, gas and NGL derivatives generated a net gain during the first nine months of 2017 and incurred a net loss during the first nine months of 2016.

The overall increase in marketing and midstream operating margin during the third quarter and the first nine months of 2017 was primarily due to an increase in EnLink’s throughput volumes related to gas processing and transmission activities, offset by a decline in margins on Devon’s downstream marketing commitments. Devon is actively engaged in optimization activities to improve margins to help offset the costs of downstream commitments; however, we expect those commitments to negatively impact our margins throughout 2017.

Asset Dispositions and Other

          In conjunction with the non-core upstream asset divestitures, we recognized a gain during the third quarter of 2016. For further discussion,additional information, see Note 23 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” ofin this report.

Total LOE and LOE per Boe increased during the third quarter of 2017 primarily due to higher transportation of $38Asset dispositions include $28 million resulting from tolls on Canada’s Access Pipeline of $27 million, which commenced in the fourth quarter of 2016 subsequent2022 related to the salere-valuation of our interest in the pipeline, and continued development of the STACK.

Total LOE decreased during the first nine months of 2017 primarily due to our non-core U.S. property divestitures during 2016 and continued well optimization and cost reduction initiatives across our portfolio which have offset industry inflation. These initiatives have been primarily focused on reducing costscontingent earnout payments associated with water disposal, power and fuel, compression and workovers. These cost savings and non-core divestitures impact were partially offset by Access Pipeline transportation tolls of $87 million during the first nine months of 2017, which was the primary driver of the increase in total LOE per Boe.

Gross G&A increased during the third quarter of 2017 due to an increase in costs related to automation and process improvement initiatives and decreased the first nine months of 2017 largely due to lower Devon employee costs resulting from our 2016 workforce reduction and other cost reduction initiatives. During the first nine months of 2017, reimbursed G&A decreased primarily due to the divestitures of operated properties in 2016. EnLink net G&A increased during the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2017 primarily due to higher employee compensation costs.

Production taxes increased during each period in 2017 on an absolute dollar basis primarily due to an increase in our U.S. revenues, on which the majority of our production taxes are assessed.

During the first nine months of 2017, property and other taxes decreased primarily as a result of lower property value assessments from the local taxing authorities across our key operating areas and as a result of our non-core oil and gas property divestitures during 2016. Property taxes do not always change in direct correlation with the change in oil, gas and NGL sales and are generally determined based on the valuation of the underlyingdivested Barnett Shale assets.

Table of Contents

DD&A from our oil and gas properties decreased in the third quarter primarily due to lower production and decreased during the first nine months of 2017 largely due to lower DD&A rates, resulting from the oil and gas asset impairments and non-core U.S. divestures in 2016. DD&A from our other assets decreased due to the divestiture of Access Pipeline in the fourth quarter of 2016.

EnLink’s DD&A increased primarily due to acquisitions made during 2016 and gathering system expansions in 2017.

Asset Impairments

During the third quarter and the first nine months of 2016, we recognized asset impairments totaling $319 million and $4.9 billion, respectively. For further discussion,additional information, see Note 52 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” ofin this report.

Restructuring and Transaction Costs

During the first nine months of 2016, we recognized restructuring costs of $249 million as a result of a reduction in workforce driven by our cost reduction initiatives and divestiture of non-core properties.Income Taxes

During the first nine months of 2016, we recognized transaction costs of $17 million, primarily associated with the closing of the acquisitions discussed in

From the first quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of 2023, the change in volumes contributed to a $359 million increase in earnings. Volumes increased due to acquisitions in the Eagle Ford and Williston Basin that both closed in the third quarter of 2022. Volumes also increased due to continued development of the Delaware Basin and new well activity in the Anadarko Basin.

From the first nine monthsquarter of 20172022 to the first quarter of 2023, realized prices contributed to an $855 million 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 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 expect low current income tax ratesthe 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.

We recognize fair value changes on our continuing net operating loss position.oil, gas and NGL derivative instruments in each reporting period. The changes in fair value resulted from new positions and settlements that occurred during each period, as well as the relationship between contract prices and the associated forward curves. For further discussion on income taxes,additional information, see Note 73 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” ofin this report.

Net financing costs decreased in the first quarter of 2023 due to an increase in interest income resulting from higher interest rates. For additional information, see Note 13 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report.

Table of Contents

Capital expenditures consist primarily of amounts related to our oil and gas exploration and development operations, midstream operations and other corporate activities and EnLink growth and maintenance activities. The vast majority of Devon’s capital expenditures are for the acquisition, drilling and development of oil and gas properties. Devon’s 2017 objectives are to concentrate capital spend in the STACK and Delaware Basin, while investing within cash flow and maintaining significant flexibility. Our capital investment program is driven by a disciplined allocation process focused on returns.

Capital expenditures for midstream operations are primarily for the constructionmoderating our production growth and expansion of oil and gas gathering facilities and pipelines. Midstreammaximizing our returns. As such, our capital expenditures are largely impacted by oil and gas development activities.

Acquisition capital for the first ninequarter of 2023 represent approximately 60% of our operating cash flow. Capital expenditures increased due to capital spend on assets acquired in 2022 and general inflation trends.

Divestitures of Property and Equipment

During the first three months of 2016 primarily consisted of Devon’s acquisition of2023 and 2022, we received contingent earnout payments related to assets in the STACK play for approximately $1.5 billion and EnLink’s acquisition of Anadarko Basin gathering and processing midstream assets for $1.4 billion. Approximately $850 million and $800 million, respectively, was paid in cash at the closings with the remainder funded with equity consideration and debt.previously sold.

Noncontrolling Interest Activity, net

During the first ninethree months of 2017, EnLink issued2023 and sold 52022, we distributed $10 million common units through its “at the market” programs and generated $92$8 million, respectively, to our noncontrolling interests in net proceeds. In September 2017, EnLink issued preferred units in an underwritten public offering generating net proceedsCDM.

Liquidity

The business of approximately $394 million.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.

In January 2016, as part of its acquisition of Anadarko Basin gathering and processing midstream assets, EnLink issued 50 million preferred units in a private placement generating cash proceeds of approximately $725 million. General Partner common units were also issued as consideration in the transaction. Additionally, during the first nine months of 2016, EnLink issued and sold 7 million common units for net proceeds of $110 million through its “at the market” programs.

We estimate the combination of theseour sources of capital will continue to be adequate to fund our planned capital expenditures, future debt repayments and other contractual commitmentsrequirements as discussed in this section.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 first quarter of 2023, we held approximately $0.9 billion of cash. Our operating cash flow isforecasts are sensitive to many variables theand include a measure of uncertainty as actual results may differ from our expectations.

Commodity Prices – The most uncertain and volatile of whichvariables for our operating cash flow are the prices of the oil, bitumen, gas and NGLs we produce and sell. Our consolidated operating cash flow increased approximately $1.2 billionPrices 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 the first nine months of 2017 compared to the first nine months of 2016 largely due to increases in commodity prices. We expect operating cash flow to continue to be a key source of liquidity as we adjustprices and are beyond our capital program to invest within our operating cash flow. Furthermore, proceeds from non-core asset divestitures will provide additional liquidity as needed.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. We target hedging approximately 50%The key terms to our oil, gas and NGL derivative financial instruments as of our productionMarch 31, 2023 are presented in a manner that systematically places hedges for several quarters in advance, allowing us to maintain a disciplined risk management program as it relates to commodity price volatility. We supplement the systematic hedging program with discretionary hedges that take advantage of favorable market conditions. For additional information on our derivative positions in place at September 30, 2017, see Note 3 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” inof this report.

DivestituresFurther, 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 Propertycost inflation could erode our cost efficiencies gained over previous years and Equipmentpressure our margins for the remainder of 2023. Despite this, we expect to continue generating material amounts of free cash flow at current commodity price levels due to our strategy of spending within cash flow.

          In May 2017,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 announcedoperate and counterparties to our derivative financial contracts. We utilize a programvariety of mechanisms to divestlimit our exposure to the credit risks of our customers, partners and counterparties. Such mechanisms include, under certain conditions, requiring letters of credit, prepayments or cash collateral postings.

Credit Availability

As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $1$3.0 billion of upstream assets. These non-core assets identified for monetization include select portions of the Barnett Shale focused primarily in and around Johnson County and other properties located principally within Devon’s U.S. resource base. Through September 30, 2017, Devon completed divestiture transactions totaling approximately $400 million, before purchase price adjustments. The most significant asset remaining in this program is select Barnett Shale leasehold. Data rooms for the Barnett properties opened in September 2017 and initial bids are expected during the fourth quarter of 2017.

Capital Expenditures

Excluding EnLink,available borrowing capacity under our 2017 capital expenditures are expected to range from $2.4 billion to $2.5 billion, including $2.0 billion to $2.1 billion for our exploration and development capital program. Our capital expenditures excluding EnLink were $1.7 billion in the first nine months of 2017 and are forecasted to range from $0.7 billion to $0.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Credit Availability

We have a $3.0 billion2023 Senior Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2017, we had approximately $2.9 billion available under this facility, net of $59 million in outstanding letters of credit, and were in compliance with the facility’s financial covenant. This credit facility supports our $3.0 billion of short-term credit under our commercial paper program. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, there were no borrowings under our commercial paper program.program, and we were in compliance with the Senior Credit Facility’s financial covenant.

EnLink Liquidity

EnLink has a $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. The General Partner has a $250 million secured revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2017, there were $9 million in outstanding letters of credit and no outstanding borrowings under the $1.5 billion credit facility and $74 million in outstanding borrowings under the $250 million credit facility. All of EnLink’s and the General Partner’s debt is non-recourse to Devon.

In January 2017, EnLink paid the first $250 million installment payment related to the 2016 Anadarko Basin gathering and processing midstream assets acquisition. The remaining $250 million installment payment is payable by January 2018.

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 near-termthe size and long-term production growth opportunities.scale of our production. Our credit rating from Standard and Poor’s Financial Services is BBB with a stable outlook. In March 2017,Our credit rating from Fitch Ratings affirmed ouris BBB+ with a stable outlook. Our credit rating and revised our outlook to stable from negative. In April 2017, Moody’s Investor Service upgraded our credit rating from Ba2 to Ba1is 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 or EnLink’s contractual debt obligations that would accelerate scheduled maturities should aour debt rating fall below a specified level. However, these downgradesa downgrade could adversely impact our and EnLink’s interest rate on any credit facility borrowings and the ability to economically access debt markets in the future.

Fixed Plus Variable Dividend


40We are committed to 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.

32


Table of Contents

In May 2023, Devon announced a cash dividend in the amount of $0.72 per share payable in the second quarter of 2023. The dividend consists of a $0.20 per share fixed quarterly dividend and a $0.52 per share variable quarterly dividend and will total approximately $461 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 April 2023, we had executed $2.0 billion of the authorized program.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures budget for the remainder of 2023 is expected to range from approximately $2.6 billion to $2.8 billion.

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. At September 30, 2017,

Further, in the event we continuedwere to haveundergo 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 100% valuation allowance againstcorporation’s stock, increase their aggregate percentage ownership by more than 50 percent over the U.S. deferredlowest 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 quarter 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 assets that largely resulted from prior year cumulative financial losses primarily due to full cost impairments. Further, we continue to recordrelated provisions with an effective date beginning in 2023. Among the enacted provisions are a partial valuation allowance against certain Canadian deferred tax assets.

The accruals for deferred tax assets15% CAMT and liabilities are often based on assumptions that areseveral new and expanded clean energy credits and incentives. Devon believes it is subject to a significant amountthe CAMT as Devon has an average annual adjusted financial statement income that exceeds $1 billion for the three-year period ended December 31, 2022. Devon continues to assess the potential impact of judgment by management. These assumptionsthe CAMT, and judgments are reviewedmaterial incremental cash tax could be incurred depending on actual operating results as well as future U.S. Treasury guidance.

Material changes toestimates, see our income tax accruals may occur in the future based2022 Annual Report on the progress of ongoing audits, changes in legislation or resolution of other pending matters.Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Measures

We make reference toutilize “core earnings (loss) attributable to Devon” and “core earnings (loss) per share attributable to Devon” in “Overview of 2017 Results” in this Item 2. 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 (loss) attributable to Devon, as well as the per share amount, represent net earnings excluding certain noncashnon-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 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 relate to changes in derivatives and financial instrument fair values and foreign currency, gains and losses on asset sales, noncash asset impairments, gains associated with early retirement of debt anddispositions, deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Amounts excluded for the third quarterallowance and first nine months of 2016 relate tofair value changes in derivatives andderivative financial instrument fair values and foreign currency, noncash asset impairments (including an impairment of goodwill), restructuring and transaction costs, gains on asset sales, costs associated with the early retirement of debt and deferred tax asset valuation allowance. 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.

Below are reconciliations of net earnings to EBITDAX and a further reconciliation to Field-Level Cash Margin.

Item 3. Quantitative and QualitativeQualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Commodity Price Risk

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, we have commodity derivatives that pertain to a portion of our estimated production for the last threenine months of 2017,2023, as well as 2018for 2024 and 2019.2025. 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, 2017,March 31, 2023, a 10% change in the forward curves associated with our commodity derivative instruments would have changed our net asset positions by approximately $170$115 million.

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, we had total debt of $10.4$6.4 billion. Of this amount, $10.3 billion bearsAll of our debt is based on fixed interest rates averaging 5.3%, and $74 million is comprised of floating rate debt with interest rates averaging 3.2%5.8%.

As of September 30, 2017, we had open interest rate swap positions that are presented in Note 3 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report. The fair values of our interest rate swaps are largely determined by estimates of the forward curves of the 3-month LIBOR rate. A 10% change in these forward curves would not have materially impacted our balance sheet at September 30, 2017.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our net assets, net earnings and cash flows from our Canadian subsidiaries are based on the U.S. dollar equivalent of such amounts measured in the Canadian dollar functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the Canadian subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate as of the end of a reporting period. Revenues, expenses and cash flow are translated using an average exchange rate during the reporting period. A 10% unfavorable change in the Canadian-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate would not have materially impacted our September 30, 2017 balance sheet.We had no material foreign currency risk at March 31, 2023.

Our non-Canadian foreign subsidiaries have a U.S. dollar functional currency. However, certain of our subsidiaries hold Canadian-dollar cash and engage in intercompany loans with Canadian subsidiaries that are based in Canadian dollars. The value of the Canadian-dollar cash and intercompany loans increases or decreases from the remeasurement of the cash and loans into the U.S. dollar functional currency.

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, 2017March 31, 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.
