1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and notes of Devon have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in Devon’s 20162019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements furnished in this report reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of Devon’s results of operations and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 20162019 and Devon’s financial position as of September 30, 2017.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In January 2017, Devon adopted ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)March 31, 2020. As further discussed in Note 17, ImprovementsDevon reached an agreement to Employee Share-Based Payment Accountingsell its Barnett Shale assets in December 2019, which was amended in April 2020, and sold its Canadian operations on June 27, 2019. Its objective isActivity relating to simplify several aspectsDevon’s Barnett Shale assets, inclusive of properties divested as partial sales of the accounting for share-based payments, including income taxes when awards vest orBarnett Shale common operating field in previous reporting periods located primarily in Johnson and Wise counties, Texas, and its Canadian operations are settled, statutory withholding and forfeitures. As the result of adoption, Devon made certain income tax presentation changes, most notably prospectively presenting excess tax benefits and deficiencies in theclassified as discontinued operations within Devon’s consolidated comprehensive statements of comprehensive earnings and as operating cash flows in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Devon also retrospectively applied the new cash flow statement guidance dictating the presentationThe associated assets and liabilities of shares exchanged for tax-withholding purposesDevon’s Barnett Shale assets and Canadian operations are presented as a financing activity. The adoption of the new guidance did not materially impact the consolidated financial statements 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 goodwillassets and liabilities associated with its carrying amount 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 2017-04 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including any interim impairment tests 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 impactdiscontinued operations on the consolidated financial statements.balance sheets.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, Devon will perform future goodwill impairment tests accordingentered into an agreement to ASU 2017-04.form Cotton Draw Midstream, L.L.C. (“CDM”), a joint-venture entity in the Delaware Basin with an affiliate of QL Capital Partners, LP (“QLCP”). Devon holds a controlling interest in CDM and the portions of CDM’s net earnings and equity not attributable to Devon’s controlling interest are shown separately as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings and consolidated balance sheets. CDM is considered a VIE to Devon. The assets of CDM cannot be used by Devon for general corporate purposes and are included in and disclosed parenthetically on Devon's consolidated balance sheets. The carrying amount of liabilities related to CDM for which the creditors do not have recourse to Devon's assets are also included in, and disclosed parenthetically, on Devon's consolidated balance sheets if material.

Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Disaggregation of Revenue

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 Recognition and industry-specific guidance in Subtopic 932-605, Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas – Revenue Recognition. This ASU provides guidance concerning the recognition and measurement offollowing table presents revenue from contracts with customers. Its objective is to increasecustomers that are disaggregated based on the usefulnesstype of information 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 resultsgood 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 related consolidated statements of earnings, equity or cash flows. However, Devon continues to evaluate the “gross versus net” presentation of certain revenues and associated expenses in its consolidated statements of earnings. Any presentation changes would have no impact on operating income, earnings or cash flows. Devon does not expect significant changes to its annual disclosures; however, Devon’s quarterly disclosures will expand upon adoption of this ASU. Devon has implemented a process to gather and provide the quarterly disclosures required by the ASU.service.

TheRecently Adopted Accounting Standards

In 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. This ASU will supersedechanges the lease requirementsimpairment model for trade receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in Topic 840, Leasesleases, loans and other financial assets measured at amortized cost from the current “incurred loss” model to a new forward-looking “expected loss” model. Devon adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. Devon assesses credit risk by class of account type which includes cash equivalents and oil and gas, marketing and midstream, joint interest and other accounts receivable. These classes are then further evaluated using a probability weighted scenario assessment based on historical losses and a probability of future default. This evaluation is supported by an assessment of risk factors such as the age of receivable, current macro-economic conditions, credit rating of the counterparty and our historical loss rate. This adoption did not have a material impact on Devon’s consolidated financial statements.

2.Divestitures

Discontinued Operations – Upstream Assets

In June 2019, Devon completed the sale of substantially all of its oil and gas assets and operations in Canada to Canadian Natural Resources Limited for proceeds, net of purchase price adjustments, of $2.6 billion ($3.4 billion Canadian dollars), and recognized a pre-tax gain of $223 million ($425 million, net of tax, primarily due to a significant deferred tax benefit). Its objective isAdditional information can be found in Note 17.

Devon announced the sale of its Barnett Shale assets to increase transparency and comparability among organizations. This ASU provides guidance requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheet. Lessor accounting does not significantly change, except for some changes made to align with new revenue recognition requirements. This ASU is effective for Devon beginning January 1,BKV in December 2019 and will be applied usingsubsequently amended the agreement in April 2020. Under the amended terms, Devon has agreed to sell its Barnett Shale assets for $570 million in cash, before purchase price adjustments, at closing, which was extended to December 31, 2020. Devon recognized a modified retrospective transition method, which requires applying the new guidance$748 million asset impairment related to leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest period in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted, but Devon does not plan to early adopt. Devon is in the process of evaluating contracts and gathering the necessary terms and data elements for purposes 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 fundedfourth quarter of 2019 and an incremental $179 million asset impairment during the acquisition with $849 millionfirst quarter 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.2020. Additional information can be found in Note 17.

 

2017Continuing Operations – Upstream Assets

During the first quarter of 2020, Devon Asset Divestituresentered into a farmout agreement in which the third-party to the agreement can participate in the development of certain Devon-owned non-operated interests in the Delaware Basin. Under the agreement, Devon will periodically transfer working interests to the third party, who will then fund its share of operating and development costs. Once certain investment hurdles are met, a portion of the working interest held by the third party will revert back to Devon. No material activity occurred during the first quarter of 2020.

In May 2017,the first quarter of 2019, Devon announcedreceived proceeds of approximately $300 million and recognized a program to divest approximately $1 billion$45 million net gain on asset dispositions, primarily from sales of upstream assets. The non-core assets identified for monetization include select portions ofin 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. EstimatedPermian Basin. In aggregate, the total estimated proved reserves associated with these assets were less than 1% of total U.S. proved reserves.

2016 Devon Asset Divestitures

In the second quarter of 2016, Devon divested non-core assets for approximately $200 million. Estimated proved reserves associated with these assets were less than 1% 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.25 MMBoe.

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 midstream assets in the Delaware Basin. The joint venture is initially owned 50.1% by EnLink and 49.9% by the joint venture partner. EnLink contributed approximately $244 million of existing non-monetary assets to the joint venture and committed an additional $262 million in capital 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 beginning 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 interest in Howard Energy Partners for approximately $190 million.

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 the4.Share-Based 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 below 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 awards6 and is included in restructuring and transaction costs in the accompanying consolidated comprehensive statements of earnings.comprehensive earnings.

Proved Oil and Gas and Other AssetImpairments

UnderReduced demand from the full cost methodCOVID-19 pandemic caused an unprecedented downturn in the price of accounting, capitalized costsoil. As a result, Devon reduced planned 2020 capital investment by 45%. With materially lower commodity prices and reduced near-term investment, Devon assessed all of its oil and gas properties, netfields for impairment as of accumulated DD&AMarch 31, 2020. For impairment determinations, Devon historically utilized NYMEX forward strip prices for the first five years and deferred income taxes, may not exceedapplied internally generated price forecasts for subsequent years. In response to the fullCOVID-19 pandemic, the NYMEX forward market became highly illiquid as evidenced by materially reduced trading volumes for periods beyond 2021. Therefore, Devon supplemented the NYMEX forward strip prices with price forecasts published by reputable investment banks and reservoir engineering firms to estimate future revenues as of March 31, 2020. To measure indicated impairments, Devon used a market-based weighted-average cost “ceiling” atof capital to discount 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 fromflows.

Devon recognized approximately $2.7 billion of proved oilasset impairments during the first three months of 2020. These impairments related to the Anadarko Basin and gas reserves, discounted at 10% per annum, net of related tax effects. Estimated future net cash flows are calculated using end-of-period costsRockies fields in which the cost basis included acquisitions completed in 2016 and an unweighted arithmetic average of2015, respectively, when commodity prices in effect on the first day of each of the previous 12 months.

The oil and gas impairments 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

were much higher than they are today. In the first quarter of 2016, EnLink2020, Devon recognized goodwill$2 million of product line fill impairments. See Note 12

UnprovedImpairments

Due to the recent downturn in the commodity price environment and reduced near-term investment as discussed above, Devon also recognized $110 million of unproved impairments during the first three months of 2020, primarily in the Rockies field. During the first three months of 2019, Devon allowed certain non-core acreage to expire without plans for additional details.

Reduction in Workforce

InDuring the first ninequarter of 2019, Devon announced workforce reductions and other initiatives designed to enhance its operational focus and cost structure in conjunction with the portfolio transformation announcement further discussed in Note 2. As a result, Devon recognized $51 million of restructuring expenses during the first three months of 2016, Devon recognized $229 million in employee-related costs associated with a reduction in workforce.2019. Of these employee-related costs, approximately $60expenses, $22 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 effective income tax rate in recordingto record its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. Statutory tax rate changes and other significant or unusual items are recognized as discrete items in the quarter in which they occur.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) became law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act allows net operating losses generated in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2021 to be carried back five years to offset taxable income and generate a refund. Devon intends to carry net operating losses generated in 2019 and 2020 back to 2014 and 2015, respectively. As a result, Devon recorded a $96 million income tax benefit in Q1 2020, and expects to record an additional $9 million income tax benefit by the end of the year.

Throughout 20162019, Devon maintained a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets, including certain tax credits and throughstate net operating losses. Since then, reduced demand from the COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented downturn in the commodity price environment. As a result, Devon recorded significant impairments during the first nine monthsquarter of 2017, 2020 and is now in a net deferred tax asset position. Devon continued to maintainreassessed its position and recorded a 100% valuation allowance against its U.S.all net 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 million to the U.S. segment valuation allowance in the first nine monthsas 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 reducedMarch 31, 2020, increasing its U.S. segment valuation allowance by $348 million$108 million.

Included in the first nine months of 2017 based on the financial income recorded during the period.

Also“other” in the table above is the “other” effect is primarily composedimpact 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 incomeincreasing Devon’s unrecognized tax rate. However, these items have a more noticeable impact to our rate in the third quarter of 2017 due to lower relative earningsbenefits by approximately $34 million 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 calculating income tax and, therefore, have an impact on the effective tax rate.

Devon is under audit 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.2020.

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 Crudeits property and Condensate reporting unit and partial impairments to EnLink’s Texas and General Partner reporting units of $473 million and $307 million, respectively.equipment, net. See Note 5 for additional details.

Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock IssuedShare Repurchase Programs

In January 2016,March 2018, Devon issued approximately 23announced a $1.0 billion share repurchase program. In June 2018, Devon announced the expansion of this program to $4.0 billion. In February 2019, Devon announced a further expansion to $5.0 billion with a December 31, 2019 expiration date. In December 2019, Devon announced a new $1.0 billion share repurchase program with a December 31, 2020 expiration date. Under the new program, $800 million shares of the $1.0 billion authorization is conditioned upon the closing of the Barnett Shale divestiture for cash proceeds of at least $725 million. Due to the amended terms of the Barnett Shale divestiture with BKV, which reduced the closing payment to $570 million and extended the closing date to December 31, 2020, Devon does not anticipate being able to repurchase more than $200 million of the $1.0 billion authorization before the program expiration date. As the pricing and economic environment has changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and demand challenges for commodities, Devon has temporarily suspended its share repurchase program to preserve liquidity.

Subsidiary Equity Transactions

EnLink has the abilityBarnett Shale

In 2019, Devon announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell common units through its “atBarnett Shale assets to BKV and subsequently amended the market” equity offering programs. agreement in April 2020. Under the amended terms, Devon has agreed to sell its Barnett Shale assets for $570 million in cash, before purchase price adjustments, at closing, which was extended to December 31, 2020. Additionally, the agreement provides for contingent earnout payments to Devon of up to $260 million based upon future commodity prices, with upside participation beginning at a $2.75 Henry Hub natural gas price or a $50 WTI oil price. The contingent payment period commences on January 1, 2021 and has a term of four years. Under the terms of the agreement, Devon received the deposit funds of $170 million in April 2020. The deposit is being held by Devon pursuant to the terms of the sale agreement, which only requires Devon to return such funds to BKV in the event the transaction does not close as a result of Devon’s breach of its closing obligations.

In connection with the announced sale of its Barnett Shale assets, approximately $88 million of the U.S. reporting unit goodwill was allocated to the Barnett Shale assets. Additionally, Devon ceased depreciation for all property, plant and equipment classified as assets held for sale on the date the sales agreement was approved by the Board of Directors. Devon also recognized a $748 million asset impairment in the fourth quarter of 2019 related to these assets, primarily due to the difference between the net carrying value and the purchase price, net of estimated customary purchase price adjustments. During the first quarter of 2020, Devon adjusted the estimated impairment $179 million, primarily due to the amended agreement terms. The valuation of the future contingent earnout payments included in the March 31, 2020 Barnett Shale impairment computation was $41 million. The value was derived utilizing a Monte Carlo valuation model and qualifies as a level 3 fair value measurement.

As of March 31, 2020, Devon has restricted approximately $25 million to fund obligations in connection with the abandonment of certain gas processing contracts related to the 2018 divestitures. Cash payments for these charges total approximately $ million per quarter.

Canada

On June 27, 2019, Devon completed the sale of its Canadian business for $2.6 billion ($3.4 billion Canadian dollars), net of purchase price adjustments, and recognized a pre-tax gain of $223 million ($425 million net of tax, primarily due to a significant deferred tax benefit). Current (cash) income tax associated with the sale was approximately $150 million and was paid in the first quarter of 2020.The disposition of substantially all of Devon’s Canadian oil and gas assets resulted in Devon releasing its historical cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment of $1.2 billion from accumulated other comprehensive earnings to be included within the gain computation. The historical cumulative foreign currency translation portion of the gain is not taxable.

During the third quarter of 2017, EnLink entered into additional equity distribution agreements2019, Devon utilized a portion of the sales proceeds to sell up to $600early retire its $500 million of the 4.00% senior notes due July 15, 2021 and $1.0 billion of the 3.25% senior notes due May 15, 2022. Devon recognized a charge on the early retirement of these notes consisting of $52 million in common units through its programs. Future common units that EnLink issues will be issued under the new equity distribution agreement. During the first nine monthscash retirement costs and $6 million of 2017, EnLink issued and sold 5 million common units through its programs and generated $92 million in net proceeds.

In September 2017, EnLink issued 400,000 preferred units through an underwritten public offering for net proceeds of approximately $394 million.

During the first nine months of 2016, EnLink issued and sold 7 million common units for net proceeds of $110 million. In conjunction with its acquisition of Anadarko Basin gathering and processing midstream assets during the first quarter of 2016, EnLink issued preferred units as discussed in Note 2.

As of September 30, 2017, Devon’s ownership interest in EnLink was 23%, excluding the interest held by the General Partner. Devon’s controlling ownership interest in the General Partner as of September 30, 2017 was 64%. The net gains and losses and related income taxes resulting from these transactions have been recorded as an adjustment to equity, with the change in ownership reflected as an adjustment to noncontrolling interests.

Distributions to Noncontrolling Interests

EnLink and the General Partner distributed $247 million and $224 million to non-Devon unitholders during the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, respectively.noncash charges.

 

As of March 31, 2020, $175 million of the Canadian cash balance is restricted for funding other obligations retained related to the Canadian business and is classified as cash restricted for discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheets. The remaining obligations consist of a firm transportation agreement and office leases. Cash payments for these charges total approximately $6 million per quarter.

Commitments and Contingencies

Devon is party to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Matters that are probable of an 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 likely 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.estimates.

Royalty Matters

Numerous oil and natural gas producers and related parties, including Devon, have been named in various lawsuits alleging royalty underpayments. TheDevon is currently named as a defendant in a number of such lawsuits, including some lawsuits in which the 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, 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. Devon does not currently believe that it is subject to material exposure with respect to such royalty matters.

Environmental and Other Matters

Devon is subject to certain environmental, health and safety laws and regulations including with respectrelating 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.

Other Matters

Beginning in 2013, various parishes in Louisiana filed suit against more than 100 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 land 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, the 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 is involvedvigorously defending against these claims.

Various municipalities and other governmental and private parties in other variousCalifornia have filed legal proceedings incidentalagainst certain oil and gas companies, including Devon, seeking relief to its business. However,abate alleged impacts of climate change. These proceedings include far-reaching claims for monetary damages and injunctions against the production of all fossil fuels. Although Devon cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters,Devon believes these claims to Devon’s knowledge, there were no other material pending legal proceedingsbe baseless and intends to which Devon is a party or to which anyvigorously defend against the proceedings.

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

Level 1 Fair Value Measurements

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 equivalents

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

Commodity and interest rate derivatives – The fair values of commodity and interest rate derivatives areis 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 debt are estimated based on rates available for debt with similar terms and maturity. The fair value of the credit facility balance is the carrying value.

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

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

 

 

21.

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 in 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. 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 presented as a separate reporting segment.

A novel strain of 2017 Results

Key componentscoronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, causing a disease referred to as COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in China in late 2019 and has subsequently spread to multiple countries worldwide, resulting in a global pandemic and health crisis. Devon began actively monitoring COVID-19 in January 2020 and formally established a COVID-19 cross-functional planning team at the beginning of March. The COVID-19 team is focused on two key priorities: the health and safety of our financial performance are summarized below.employees and contractors and the uninterrupted operation of our business.

Health and safety – The COVID-19 team has developed and implemented a number of safety measures, which have successfully kept our workforce healthy and safe. The COVID-19 team has established an informational campaign to provide employees an understanding of the virus risk factors and safety measures, as well as timely updates from governmental stay-at-home regulations. Expectations have also been set for employees to communicate immediately if they, or someone they have been in contact with, has tested positive for COVID-19. Other measures included closing all of Devon’s office buildings and locations to the public, implementing social distancing and encouraging employees to work from home. Beginning in late March, more than 90% of the workforce assigned to Devon’s Oklahoma City Headquarters office were primarily working from home. The COVID-19 team has also implemented targeted and routine intensive and deep cleaning of all Devon office locations.

Core earnings (loss)

Uninterrupted operation of our business – Beyond workforce safety measures, the COVID-19 team has worked with government officials to ensure our business continues to be deemed an essential business or infrastructure. The COVID-19 team has ensured technology and core earnings (loss) per diluted share attributableresources are available for employees to Devon are financialexecute their job duties while working from home and implemented further social distancing and contactless initiatives in our oil and gas field operations. The collective efforts of our COVID-19 team and our entire workforce have enabled us to avoid the need to implement COVID-19 containment or mitigation measures, not prepared in accordancewhich would require closure or suspension of any of our operations.

This outbreak and the related responses of governmental authorities and others to limit the spread of the virus have significantly reduced global economic activity, resulting in an unprecedented decline in the demand for oil and other commodities. This supply-and-demand imbalance has been exacerbated by uncertainty regarding the future global supply of oil due to disputes between Russia and the members of OPEC, particularly Saudi Arabia, in March 2020. These factors caused a swift and material deterioration in commodity prices in early 2020, with NYMEX WTI oil prices falling from over $60/Bbl at the beginning of year to below $20/Bbl in April 2020. The current supply-and-demand imbalance has also imposed constraints on Devon’s and other operators’ ability to store and move production to downstream markets, which has resulted in the delay or curtailment of development activity, as well as the shutting-in of producing wells.

In response to the current macro-economic environment, we are protecting our financial strength and liquidity as evidenced by the following items:

a strong foundation to grow returns, margin and profitability. We continue to execute on our strategy and navigate through the challenged economic environment by protecting our financial strength, tailoring our capital investment to market conditions, improving our cash cost structure and preserving operational continuity.

Trends of our quarterly earnings, operating cash flow, EBITDAX and capital expenditures are shown below. The quarterly earnings chart presents amounts pertaining to both Devon’s continuing and discontinuing operations. The quarterly cash flow chart presents amounts pertaining to Devon’s continuing operations. “Core earnings” and “EBITDAX” are financial measures not prepared in accordance with GAAP. For a description of these measures, including reconciliations to the comparable GAAP measures, see “Non-GAAP Measures” in this Item 2.

Our net earnings in recent quarters have been significantly impacted by divestiture transactions, asset impairments and temporary, noncash adjustments to the value of our commodity hedges. Net earnings in the first nine monthsquarter of 2017, we generated solid operating2020 included $2.3 billion of asset impairments on our proved and unproved properties and a $0.5 billion hedge valuation gain, both net of taxes. Net earnings in the fourth quarter of 2019 included $0.6 billion of asset impairments and a $0.1 billion hedge valuation loss, both net of taxes. Net earnings in the second quarter of 2019 included $0.3 billion for net after-tax gains and charges related to our Canadian disposition. Net earnings in the first quarter of 2019 included a $0.5 billion after-tax hedge valuation loss. Excluding these amounts, our core earnings have been more stable over recent quarters but continue to be heavily influenced by commodity prices.

Despite our portfolio enhancements, aggressive cost reductions and operational advancements, our financial results with our three-fold strategycontinue to be challenged by commodity prices and deterioration of operatingthe macro-economic environment resulting from the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. Our earnings declined from the fourth quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020 due to a decrease in North America’s best resource plays, delivering superior execution and maintaining a high degree of financial strength.overall commodity prices. Led by our developmenta 19% decrease in the STACK,WTI from the fourth quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020, our unhedged combined realized price dropped 23%. Despite these price drops, we continuedwere able 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.

As operating cash flow has declined, we estimatehave adjusted our highest-margin U.S. oil production from retained assets will exit 2017 at levels approximately 20% higher than year-end 2016.capital development plans accordingly.

 

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 exited the thirdfirst quarter of 20172020 with $4.7 billion of liquidity comprised of $2.8$1.7 billion of cash, inclusive of $200 million of cash restricted for discontinued operations, and $2.9$3.0 billion of available credit under our Senior Credit Facility. We have $4.3 billion of debt outstanding with no significant debt maturities until the end of 2025. We currently have approximately 90% of our expected oil production and approximately 45% of our expected gas production protected with hedges for the remainder of 2020. These contracts consist of collars and swaps based off the WTI oil benchmark and the Henry Hub natural gas index. Additionally, we have entered into regional basis swaps in an effort to protect price realizations across our portfolio.

Continued development in the Delaware Basin and Powder River Basin drove production increases. Additionally, a well-control event curtailed production volumes in the Eagle Ford during the fourth quarter of 2019. These were partially offset by lower activity in the Anadarko Basin.

In response to the current macro-economic environment, we have reduced planned 2020 capital expenditures by 45% and shut in certain marginal wells. As a result, we anticipate total production to decrease in the second quarter of 2020 to a range of 302 to 328 MBoe/d and continue to decrease for the second half of 2020.

From the fourth quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020, field prices contributed to a $227 million decrease in earnings. Unhedged realized oil, gas and NGL prices decreased primarily due to lower WTI, Henry Hub and Mont Belvieu index prices. These decreases were partially offset by favorable hedge cash settlements across each of our products.

As prices further deteriorated towards the end of the first quarter from the COVID-19 pandemic, we added additional oil and gas hedges for the remaining quarters of 2020 and the year 2021. At September 30, 2017, we also had We currently have approximately 65%90% of our remaining 2017 forecasted2020 oil production hedged atwith an average floor price of $50/$42/Bbl and approximately 66%45% of our remaining 2017 forecasted natural2020 gas production hedged atwith an average floor price of $3.10/MMBtu. We$2.15/Mcf. Additionally, we are currently building our 2018 and 20192021 hedge positions at similarmarket prices.

 

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.

Commodity sales increased in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2017 due to price increases for all commodities. The increase in oil and bitumen sales resulted from a higher average WTI crude oil index price. Additionally, our bitumen sales benefited from tighter heavy oil differentials. The increases in gas and NGL sales were due to higher North American regional index prices upon which our gas sales are based and higher NGL prices at the Mont Belvieu, Texas hub.  

The increases in sales due to the favorable movement in commodity prices was partially offset by 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 quarters of 2016. Additionally, Hurricane Harvey negatively impacted our third quarter 2017 production in the Eagle Ford as we temporarily suspended operations.

In response to the current macro-economic environment, reduced planned 2020 capital expenditures and shutting in certain marginal wells, we anticipate decreases in LOE and gathering, processing and transportation of approximately 10% during the remainder of 2020. Additionally, we expect lower production taxes as a result of lower oil, gas and NGL revenues.

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 revenues less production expenses and is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measures is found in “Non-GAAP Measures” in this Item 2. The changes in production volumes, field prices and production expenses, shown above, had the following impact on our field-level cash margins by asset.

N/M

 

Asset impairments were $2.7 billion in the first quarter of 2020 due to significant decreases in commodity derivatives. In addition to cash settlements, we alsoprices since the end of 2019 resulting primarily from the COVID-19 pandemic. For additional information, see Note 5 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report.

As a result of the asset impairments of $2.7 billion during the first quarter of 2020 and the lower production resulting from decreased capital expenditures, DD&A will decrease approximately 25% for the remainder of 2020.

Included as a component of upstream revenues 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 duringMarketing operations decreased approximately $23 million primarily from downstream product inventory impairments of $17 million recognized in the thirdfirst quarter of 2017 primarily due to higher transportation of $38 million resulting from tolls on Canada’s Access Pipeline of $27 million, which commenced in the fourth quarter of 2016 subsequent to the sale 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 costs 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.2020.

 

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 changeExploration expenses increased in direct correlation with the change in oil, gas and NGL sales and are generally determined based on the valuation of the underlying assets.

An increase in production volumes from the first nine monthsquarter of 20172019 to the first quarter of 2020 contributed to a $133 million increase in earnings. Continued development in the Delaware Basin and Powder River Basin drove production increases, which were slightly offset by decreased activity in the Anadarko Basin.

From the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020, field prices contributed to a $245 million decrease in earnings. Unhedged realized oil, gas and NGL prices decreased primarily due to lower WTI, Henry Hub and Mont Belvieu index prices. These decreases were partially offset by favorable hedge cash settlements across each of our products.

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 revenues less production expenses and is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measures is found in “Non-GAAP Measures” in this Item 2. The changes in production volumes, field prices and production expenses, shown above, had the following impact on our field-level cash margins by asset.

Included as a component of upstream revenues 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 relationship between contract prices and the associated forward curves. For additional information, see Note 3 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report.

Marketing operations decreased approximately $33 million primarily from downstream product inventory impairments of $17 million recognized in the first quarter of 2020.

Q1 2020 vs. Q4 2019

Net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax decreased $527 million due to a decrease in asset impairments from the fourth quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, we recognized $179 million in asset impairments on our Barnett Shale assets due to the amended terms of the Barnett sales agreement. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we recognized a $748 million asset impairment to our Barnett Shale assets.

Q1 2020 vs. Q1 2019  

Net earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax decreased $186 million due to $179 million in incremental asset impairments to our Barnett Shale assets related to the amended terms of the Barnett sales agreement during the first quarter of 2020. Upstream revenues and production expenses decreased from the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020 due to Devon’s divestment of its Canadian business in the second quarter of 2019.

Operating Cash Flow

Net

As presented in the table above, net cash provided by operating activities increased 96% primarily duecontinued to significantly higher commodity prices as compared tobe a significant source of capital and liquidity. During the first ninethree months of 2016.

Our consolidatedended March 31, 2020, our operating cash flow funded 100% ofall our capital expenditures during the first nine months of 2017. In 2016, leveraging our liquidity, we also usedand dividends, allowing us to use available cash balances and proceeds from our common stock offering and non-core asset divestitures to fund our acquisitions andother capital expenditures.uses.

Divestitures of Property and EquipmentOperating Cash Flow

During the first nine months of 2017, as part of our announced divestiture program, we sold non-core U.S. assets for approximately $320 million, net of customary purchase price adjustments. During the first nine months of 2016, we divested certain non-core upstream assets in the U.S. for approximately $1.9 billion. For further discussion, see Note 2 in “Part 1.

In February 2016, we issued 79 million shares of our common stock to the public, inclusive of 10 million shares sold as part of the underwriters’ option. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $1.5 billion.

Proceeds from Sale of Investment

During the first quarter of 2017, EnLink divested its ownership interest in Howard Energy Partners for approximately $190 million. Proceeds were primarily used to pay a portion of the $250 million installment payment related to EnLink’s 2016 acquisition further discussed in Note 2 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report.

Capital expenditures consist of amounts relatedprovided by operating activities continued to our oil and gas exploration and development operations, midstream operations, 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 maintainingbe a 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 construction and expansion of oil and gas gathering facilities and pipelines. Midstream capital expenditures are largely impacted by oil and gas development activities.

Acquisition capital for the first nine months of 2016 primarily consisted of Devon’s acquisition of 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. For additional information, see Note 2 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report.

Debt Activity, Net

During the first nine months of 2017, consolidated net debt borrowings increased $252 million. In May 2017, EnLink issued $500 million of 5.45% senior notes due in 2047 to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and for general partnership purposes. In June 2017, EnLink redeemed its 7.125% senior unsecured notes due in 2022 for aggregate cash consideration of $174 million. Additionally, EnLink reduced its credit facility borrowings $74 million during the first nine months of 2017.

During the first nine months of 2016, our consolidated net debt borrowings decreased $1.8 billion. The decrease was primarily due to completed tender offers to purchase and redeem $1.2 billion of debt securities. For additional information, see Note 14 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report. The remaining decrease was due to reducing our commercial paper balances by $626 million during the first nine months of 2016.

Payment of Installment Payable

          During the first quarter of 2017, EnLink made the first installment payment related to its 2016 acquisition further discussed in Note 2 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report.

EnLink and General Partner Distributions

Devon received $199 million in distributions from EnLink and the General Partner during the first nine months of 2017 and 2016.

Issuance of Subsidiary Units

During the first nine months of 2017, EnLink issued and sold 5 million common units through its “at the market” programs and generated $92 million in net proceeds. In September 2017, EnLink issued preferred units in an underwritten public offering generating net proceeds of approximately $394 million.

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.

Liquidity

Our primary sourcessource of capital and liquidity areliquidity. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, our operating cash flow asset divestiture proceedsfunded all our capital expenditures and dividends, allowing us to use available cash on hand. Additionally, we maintain a commercial paper program, supported by our revolving line of credit, which can be accessed as needed to supplement operating cash flow and cash balances. Available sources of capital and liquidity also include, among other things, debt and equity securities that can be issued pursuant to our shelf registration statement filed with the SEC, as well as the sale of a portion of our common units representing interests in our investment in EnLink and the General Partner. We estimate the combination of these sources of capital will continue to be adequatebalances to fund our plannedother capital expenditures, future debt repayments and other contractual commitments as discussed in this section.uses.

Operating Cash Flow

As presented in the table above, net cash provided by operating activities continued to be a significant source of capital and liquidity. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, our operating cash flow funded all our capital expenditures and dividends, allowing us to use available cash balances to fund other capital uses.

Divestitures of Property and Equipment

During the first three months of 2019, we sold non-core U.S. assets for approximately $300 million, net of customary purchase price adjustments. For additional information, please see Note 2 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report.

Capital expenditures consist primarily of amounts related to our oil and gas exploration and development operations, midstream operations and other corporate activities. Our capital program is designed to operate within or near operating cash flow. This is evidenced by our operating cash flow fully funding capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 89% of

34


Table of Contents

capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Our capital investment program is driven by a disciplined allocation process focused on returns. Our capital expenditures are lower in 2020 primarily due to our decreased spending in the Anadarko Basin, partially offset by increased capital investment in the Powder River Basin and Eagle Ford. In response to the current macro-economic environment, we reduced our 2020 capital expenditures outlook by approximately $800 million, or 45% compared to the original capital budget, and expect to fund our 2020 capital program within operating cash flows even at current depressed commodity prices.

Debt Activity

During the first quarter of 2019, our debt decreased $162 million due to the repayment of our 6.30% senior notes at maturity.

Shareholder Distributions and Stock Activity

We paid common stock dividends of $34 million ($0.09 per share) and $34 million ($0.08 per share) during the first three months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. In February 2020, we announced a 22% increase to our quarterly dividend, to $0.11 per share, beginning in the second quarter of 2020. Beginning with the second quarter of 2019, we increased our quarterly dividend to $0.09 per share.

We repurchased 2.2 million shares of common stock for $38 million in the first three months of 2020 and 36.1 million shares of common stock for $1.0 billion in the first three months of 2019 under share repurchase programs authorized by our Board of Directors. For additional information, see Note 16in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report.

Noncontrolling Interest Contributions and Distributions

During the first quarter of 2020, we received $5 million in contributions from our noncontrolling interests in CDM and distributed $3 million to our noncontrolling interests in CDM.

Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations

All cash flows in the following table relate to activities of our Canadian business that Devon sold in June 2019 and the Barnett Shale assets that Devon has contracted to sell and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Operating cash flows in the first quarter of 2020 include $153 million of cash income tax payments in Canada related to divestitures. Additionally, operating cash flow was negatively affected in the first quarter of 2019 primarily due to realization impacts associated with the widening Canadian differentials in the fourth quarter of 2018. See Note 2and Note 17 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report for additional details on these divestitures.

Liquidity

The business of 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 land owners to enhance our existing portfolio of assets.

Historically, our primary sources of capital funding and liquidity have been our operating cash flow, cash on hand and asset divestiture proceeds. Additionally, we maintain a commercial paper program, supported by our revolving line of credit, which can be

Table of Contents

accessed as needed to supplement operating cash flow and cash balances. If needed, we can also issue debt and equity securities, including through transactions under our shelf registration statement filed with the SEC. We estimate the combination of our sources of capital will continue to be adequate to fund our planned capital requirements as discussed in this section.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, the macro-economic environment has deteriorated significantly and has created extreme volatility primarily due to concerns arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to this environment, we will continue to maintain flexibility within our capital program as we continue to focus on protecting our financial strength and maintaining operational continuity.

Operating Cash Flow

Key inputs into determining our planned capital investment are the amounts 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 2020, we held approximately $1.7 billion of cash, inclusive of $200 million of cash restricted for discontinued operations. Our operating cash flow isforecasts are sensitive to many variables and include a measure of uncertainty as the actual results of these variables 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 substantially variable factors influence market conditions for these products. These factors, which are difficult to predict, create volatility in prices and are beyond our control.

We expect operating cash flowglobal oil demand. Oil prices, which had already been trending down on concerns about oversupply, subsequently collapsed in March. Benchmark WTI spot oil prices fell from over $60/Bbl in early January to continue to be a key source of liquidity as we adjust our capital program to invest within our operating cash flow. Furthermore, proceeds from non-core asset divestitures will provide additional liquidity as needed.less than $20/Bbl in April.

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% ofhedge our production 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 onthe remainder of 2020, we have approximately 90% of our oil production hedged with an average floor price of $42/Bbl and approximately 45% of our gas production hedged with an average floor price of $2.15/Mcf. Additionally, we are currently building our 2021 hedge positions at market prices. The key terms to our oil, gas and NGL derivative positionsfinancial instruments as of March 31, 2020 are presented in place at September 30, 2017, see Note 3 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” inof this report.

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.

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 partners for their proportionate share of expenditures made on projects we operate and counterparties to our derivative financial contracts. We utilize a variety of mechanisms to limit our exposure to the credit risks of our customers, partners and counterparties. Such mechanisms include, under certain conditions, requiring letters of credit, prepayments or collateral postings and other protections allowed per our agreements.

Credit Availability

We have a $3.0 billion Senior Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, we had approximately $2.9$3.0 billion of available borrowing capacity under this facility, net of $59 million in outstanding letters of credit, and were in compliance with the facility’s financial covenant.our Senior Credit Facility.

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-term and long-term production growth opportunities. Our credit rating from Standard and Poor’s Financial Services is BBB- with a negative outlook. Our credit rating from Fitch is BBB with a stable outlook. In March 2017, Fitch Ratings affirmed our BBB+Our credit rating and revised our outlook to stable from negative. In April 2017, Moody’s Investor Service upgraded our credit rating from Ba2 tois Ba1 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 anyShare Repurchase Program

In December 2019, our Board of Directors approved a $1.0 billion share repurchase program that expires on December 31, 2020. Through March 31, 2020, we had executed $38 million of the authorized program. However, as the pricing and economic environment has deteriorated due to the COVID-19 pandemic and demand challenges for commodities, we have temporarily suspended our share repurchase program to preserve liquidity. Additionally, due to the amended terms of our or EnLink’s contractual debt obligations that would accelerate scheduled maturities should a debt rating fall below a specified level. However, these downgrades could adversely impact ourBarnett Shale divestiture, we do not anticipate being able to purchase more than $200 million of the $1.0 billion authorization by the program expiration date. We will monitor economic conditions as they develop and EnLink’s interest rate on any credit facility borrowingsmay resume share repurchases of the remaining $162 million, subject to the commodity price environment, the Company’s liquidity and the ability to economically access debt markets in the future.

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,Due to an unprecedented downturn in the commodity price environment and the resulting asset impairments, Devon had significant deferred tax assets at March 31, 2020. Accordingly, we continued to have reassessed the realizability of our deferred tax assets in future periods and have recorded a 100% valuation allowance against the U.S. deferred tax assets that largely resulted from prior year cumulative financial losses primarily due to full cost impairments. Further, we continue to record a partial valuation allowance against certain Canadianour net deferred tax assets.

The accrualsValuation of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets used in operations, including proved and unproved oil and gas properties, are depreciated and assessed for deferred taximpairment annually or whenever changes in facts and circumstances indicate a possible significant deterioration in future cash flows is expected to be generated by an asset group. For DD&A calculations and impairment assessments, management groups individual assets and liabilities are often based on assumptionsa judgmental assessment of the lowest level (“common operating field”) for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets.

Management evaluates assets for impairment through an established process in which changes to significant assumptions such as prices, volumes and future development plans are reviewed. If, upon review, the sum of the undiscounted pre-tax cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset group, the carrying value is written down to estimated fair value. Because there usually is a lack of quoted market prices for long-lived assets, the fair value of impaired assets is typically determined based on the present values of expected future cash flows using discount rates believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews and related fair value calculations are typically based on judgmental assessments of future production volumes, commodity prices, operating costs and capital investment plans, considering all available information at the date of review. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews include future production volumes associated with proved producing and risk-adjusted proved undeveloped, probable and possible reserves.

Besides the risk-adjusted estimates of reserves and future production volumes, future commodity prices are the largest driver in the variability of undiscounted pre-tax cash flows. For our impairment determinations, we historically have utilized NYMEX forward

37


Table of Contents

strip prices for the first five years and applied internally generated price forecasts for subsequent years. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the NYMEX forward market became highly illiquid as evidenced by materially reduced trading volumes for periods beyond 2021. Therefore, we altered our price forecast assumptions to perform our March 31, 2020 impairment computations. Specifically, we supplemented the NYMEX forward strip prices with price forecasts published by reputable investment banks and reservoir engineering firms to estimate our future revenues as of March 31, 2020.

We also estimate and escalate or de-escalate future capital and operating costs by using a method that correlates cost movements to price movements similar to recent history. To measure indicated impairments, we use a market-based weighted-average cost of capital to discount the future net cash flows. Changes to any of the reserves or market-based assumptions can significantly effect estimates of undiscounted and discounted pre-tax cash flows and impact the recognition and amount of impairments.

Reduced demand from the COVID-19 pandemic and management of production levels from Saudi Arabia and Russia caused WTI to decrease more than 60% during the first quarter of 2020. As a result, we reduced our planned 2020 capital investment 45%. With materially lower commodity prices and reduced near-term investment, we assessed all our oil and gas fields for impairment as of March 31, 2020 and recognized proved and unproved impairments totaling $2.8 billion. The impairments relate to our Anadarko Basin and Rockies fields in which our basis included acquisitions completed in 2016 and 2015, respectively, when commodity prices were much higher than they are today.

Based on our March 31, 2020 impairment evaluations, our Eagle Ford asset’s sum of undiscounted pre-tax cash flows exceeds the carrying value by less than 10%. This cushion narrowed significantly since the end of 2019 due to lower benchmark pricing and wider differentials used to estimate future commodity pricing. If prices deteriorate further and/or management significantly reduces planned capital investment in the Eagle Ford field, our Eagle Ford asset could be subject to a material impairment of capitalized costs. 

Goodwill

We test goodwill for impairment annually at October 31, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances dictate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. We perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying amount. As part of our qualitative assessment, we considered the general macro-economic, industry and market conditions, changes in cost factors, actual and expected financial performance, significant changes in management, strategy or customers and stock performance. If the qualitative assessment determines that a quantitative goodwill impairment test is required, then the fair value is compared to the carrying value. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, an impairment charge will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. Because quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is estimated based upon a valuation analyses including comparable companies and transactions and premiums paid.

Because the trading price of judgment by management. These assumptions and judgments are reviewed and adjustedour common stock decreased 73% during the first quarter of 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we performed a goodwill impairment test as facts and circumstances change. Material changes toof March 31, 2020. While the cushion narrowed significantly since our income tax accruals may occurlast impairment evaluation, we concluded an impairment was not required as of March 31, 2020. The two most critical judgements included in the futureMarch 31, 2020, test were the period utilized to determine Devon’s market capitalization and the control premium. For the test performed as of March 31, 2020, we derived our market capitalization by using our average common stock price from the latter two thirds of March 2020, to align with the time in the quarter subsequent to a key OPEC+ meeting and the date COVID-19 was officially classified as a pandemic. We applied a control premium based on recent comparable market transactions.

Subsequent to the progressend of ongoing audits, changesthe first quarter of 2020, Devon’s common stock price increased approximately 80% during the month of April but remains significantly less than our average trading price before the events experienced in legislationthe first quarter of 2020. Although our common stock price and commodity prices are in a period of high volatility, a sustained period of depressed commodity prices would adversely affect our estimates of future operating results, which could result in future goodwill impairments due to the potential impact on the cash flows of our operations. The impairment of goodwill has no effect on liquidity or resolutioncapital resources. However, it would adversely affect our results of other pending matters.operations in the period recognized.

Non-GAAP Measures

We make reference to “core earnings (loss) attributable to Devon” and “core earnings (loss) per share attributable to Devon” in “Overview of 20172020 Results” in this Item 2.2 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 noncash and other items that are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of our financial results. For more information on the results of discontinued operations for our Barnett Shale asset and Canadian operations, see Note 17 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report. 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, dispositions, noncash asset impairments gains associated with early retirement of debt and (including noncash unproved asset impairments), deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Amounts excluded for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 relate toallowance, fair value changes in derivatives andderivative financial instrument fair valuesinstruments and foreign currency, noncash asset impairments (including an impairment of goodwill),changes in tax legislation and restructuring and transaction costs gains on asset sales, costs associated with the early retirement of debt and deferred tax asset valuation allowance. workforce reductions in 2019.

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 from continuing operations 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 revenues 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 continuing 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, 2020, we have commodity derivatives that pertain to a portion of our estimated production for the last threenine months of 2017,2020, as well as 2018 and 2019.for 2021. The key terms to our open oil, gas and NGL derivative financial instruments are presented in Note 3in “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, 2020, a 10% change in the forward curves associated with our commodity derivative instruments would have changed our net asset positions by approximately $170$140 million.

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, we had total debt of $10.4$4.3 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%6.0%.

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 theDevon has certain Canadian dollar functional currency. Assets and liabilities ofobligations associated with its divested Canadian operations which are to be paid with the Canadian subsidiariescash restricted for discontinued operations. These balances are translated to U.S. dollarsremeasured 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, 2017March 31, 2020 balance sheet.sheet for these items. See Note 17 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” in this report for additional information.

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, 2020 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.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

ThereExcept for the addition of the pandemic risk factor discussed below, there have been no material changes to the information included in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 20162019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K.

Our Business Has Been Adversely Impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic, and We May Experience Continuing or Worsening Adverse Effects From This or Other Pandemics

Commodity Price Impacts – The COVID-19 pandemic and related economic repercussions have created significant volatility, uncertainty and turmoil in the oil and gas industry. This outbreak and the related responses of governmental authorities and others to limit the spread of the virus have significantly reduced global economic activity, resulting in an unprecedented decline in the demand for oil and other commodities. This supply-and-demand imbalance has been exacerbated by uncertainty regarding the future global supply of oil due to disputes between Russia and the members of OPEC, particularly Saudi Arabia. These factors caused a swift and material deterioration in commodity prices in early 2020, with NYMEX WTI oil prices falling from over $60/Bbl at the beginning of the year to lower than $20/Bbl as of April 2020. While OPEC and other oil producing nations agreed in April 2020 to cut production, downward pressure on commodity prices has remained and could continue for the foreseeable future. This decline in commodity prices has already adversely impacted our results of operations for the first quarter of 2020 and contributed to our recognition of a material asset impairment to our oil and gas assets during the same period. As further described in the “Risk Factors” section of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, any sustained weakness or further deterioration in commodity prices could further adversely impact our results of operations, the value of our properties and our financial condition.

The current supply-and-demand imbalance has also imposed constraints on Devon’s and other operators’ ability to store and move production to downstream markets, which has resulted in the delay or curtailment of development activity, as well as the shutting-in of producing wells. Moreover, certain regional prices have disproportionally declined relative to broader market indices in areas that have experienced acute takeaway capacity constraints, thereby potentially further reducing our realized pricing in such impacted areas. If we are forced to shut in additional production, we will likely incur greater costs to bring the associated production back online, and such costs may be significant enough that such wells may become non-economic at low commodity price levels, which may lead to decreases in our proved reserve estimates and potential impairments and associated charges to our earnings. If we are able to bring wells back online, there is no assurance that such wells will be as productive following recommencement as they were prior to being shut in.

General Financial and Economic Impacts - The negative effects of COVID-19 on economic prospects across the world have contributed to concerns for the potential of a prolonged economic slowdown and recession. Any such downturn, or a protracted period of depressed commodity prices, could have significant adverse consequences for our financial condition and liquidity, by, among other things: (i) limiting our ability to access sources of capital due to disruptions in financial markets or otherwise; and (ii) increasing the risk of a downgrade from credit rating agencies, which could trigger new credit support obligations and further adversely affect our ability to access financing or trade credit. Moreover, any such downturn could also result in similar financial constraints for our non-operating partners, purchasers of our production and other counterparties, thereby increasing the risk that such counterparties default on their obligations to us. Such defaults or more general supply chain disruptions due to the pandemic may also jeopardize the supply of materials, equipment or services for our operations. For additional information regarding liquidity and counterparty credit risks, please see the “Risk Factors” section of the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Other Impacts - The COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions aimed at mitigating its spread have caused us to modify certain of our business practices, including limiting employee travel, encouraging work-from-home practices and other social distancing measures. Such measures may cause disruptions to our business and operational plans, which may include shortages of employees, contractors and subcontractors. There is no certainty that these or any other future measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the disease, including the risk of infection of key employees, and our ability to perform certain functions could be impaired by these new business practices. For example, our reliance on technology has necessarily increased due to our encouragement of remote communications and other work-from-home practices, which could make us more vulnerable to cyber attacks. See the “Risk Factors” section of the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding cyber attack risks.

Table of Contents

The COVID-19 pandemic and its related effects continue to rapidly evolve. The ultimate extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and any other future pandemic on our business will depend on future developments, including, but not limited to, the nature, duration and spread of the disease, the responsive actions to contain its spread or address its effects and the duration, timing and severity of the related consequences on commodity prices and the economy more generally, including any recession resulting from the pandemic. Any extended period of depressed commodity prices or general economic disruption as a result of the pandemic would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has heightened, and any future pandemic could heighten, the other risks and uncertainties discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

On December 17, 2019, we announced a $1.0 billion share repurchase program that has a December 31, 2020 expiration date. As of March 31, 2020, we had repurchased 2.2 million common shares for $38 million, or $16.85 per share, under our share repurchases program. Due to the amended terms of the Barnett Shale divestiture with BKV, we do not anticipate being able to repurchase more than $200 million of the $1.0 billion authorization by the program expiration date. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic impacts, Devon has temporarily suspended its share repurchase program to preserve liquidity. Devon will monitor economic conditions as they develop and may resume share repurchases, subject to the commodity price environment, the Company’s liquidity and capital resources and other factors. Any such repurchases under the program may be made in open-market or private transactions or through the use of ASR programs. For additional information, see Note 16 in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” of this report.

We acquired the shares of our common stock sold under the Devon Plan through open-market purchases.

Similarly, eligible Canadian employees may purchase shares of our common stock through an investment in the Canadian Plan, which is administered by an independent trustee, Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada. Shares sold under the Canadian Plan were acquired through open-market purchases. These shares and any interest in the Canadian Plan were offered and sold in reliance on the exemptions for offers and sales of securities made outside of the U.S., including under Regulation S for offers and sales of securities to employees pursuant to an employee benefit plan established and administered in accordance with the law of a country other than the U.S. In the third quarter of 2017, there were approximately 4,200 shares purchased by Canadian employees.
