DEVON ENERGY REPORTS RECORD 2010 NET EARNINGS AND PROVED RESERVES
OKLAHOMA CITY — February 16, 2011 — Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE:DVN) today reported record net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2010, of $4.6 billion, or $10.35 per common share ($10.31 per diluted common share). This compares to a full-year 2009 net loss of $2.5 billion, or $5.58 per common share ($5.58 per diluted common share). The company’s 2009 financial results were impacted by a $4.2 billion non-cash, after-tax reduction in the carrying value of oil and gas properties.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2010, Devon reported net earnings of $562 million, or $1.30 per common share ($1.29 per diluted common share). In the fourth quarter of 2009, the company reported net earnings of $667 million, or $1.50 per common share ($1.49 per diluted common share).
Devon’s fourth-quarter 2010 financial results were impacted by certain items securities analysts typically exclude from their published estimates. Excluding these adjusting items, the company earned $683 million, or $1.57 per diluted common share. The adjusting items are discussed in detail later in this news release.
“2010 was an outstanding year for Devon. The company’s record earnings were accompanied by excellent operating results and the successful execution of our strategic repositioning,” commented John Richels, president and chief executive officer. “Our focused North American onshore capital program helped grow proved reserves to an all-time record of 2.9 billion equivalent barrels, and we are nearing completion of our strategic repositioning with total asset sales of more than $10 billion.”
Proved Oil and Gas Reserves Climb to Record Levels
In accordance with accounting standards, Devon’s year-end 2009 reserve balances include the reserves associated with the company’s Gulf of Mexico properties that were divested in 2010. Following is a discussion of proved reserves related only to Devon’s retained North American onshore assets, excluding the impact of the divested properties.
At year-end 2010, Devon’s North American onshore estimated proved reserves were a record 2,873 million oil-equivalent barrels (Boe), a nine percent increase over year-end 2009. During 2010 Devon added 389 million oil-equivalent barrels through successful drilling (discoveries, extensions and performance revisions). Drill-bit capital applicable to its North American onshore properties totaled $6.1 billion, including $1.2 billion of unproved leasehold capture. Revisions related to changes in oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids prices increased North American onshore proved reserves by an additional 71 million Boe.
Proved developed reserves were 2,042 million Boe at December 31, 2010, or 71 percent of total proved reserves. Year-end proved reserves were composed of 681 million barrels of crude oil, 10.3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 479 million barrels of natural gas liquids.
“Devon delivered outstanding results with our North American onshore drilling program in 2010,” said Dave Hager, executive vice president, exploration and production. “Our drill-bit reserve additions were 175 percent of our production output for the year. In addition, the reserves were added at very competitive finding costs in spite of adding $1.2 billion of unproved acreage during the year.”

Liquids Production Growth and Cana-Woodford Development Lead 2010 Operating Highlights
Devon drilled 1,588 wells in 2010 applicable to its continuing operations with a 99 percent success rate. Following are operational highlights from the past year:
  Devon increased oil and natural gas liquids production from its North American onshore properties by six percent in 2010, to an average of 193,000 barrels per day.
 
  During the year, Devon completed 87 wells in the Cana-Woodford Shale play in western Oklahoma and more than doubled its industry-leading leasehold position in the play to 243,000 net acres. Fourth-quarter production from the Cana-Woodford increased more than 200 percent over the year-ago quarter to an average of 137 million cubic feet of gas equivalent per day. The company also completed construction and commenced operation of its Cana gas processing plant in 2010.
 
  In the Permian Basin, Devon increased fourth-quarter production 16 percent over the fourth quarter of 2009, to 45,000 Boe per day. Devon has nearly 1 million net acres of leasehold in the region targeting various oil and liquids-rich play types. In 2011, the company plans to run 17 operated rigs and drill more than 300 wells to continue de-risking and developing these plays.
 
  In 2010, production from the Devon-operated Jackfish oil sands project averaged 26,000 gross barrels per day or 25,000 barrels per day net to the company. Following scheduled facilities maintenance in the third quarter and the Enbridge pipeline system outage in the fourth quarter, Jackfish production ramped back up to 31,000 gross barrels per day at year-end.
 
  Construction of the company’s second Jackfish project is now complete. Devon expects to begin injecting steam at Jackfish 2 in the second quarter, with first oil production expected by the end of 2011. Devon applied for regulatory approval of a third phase of Jackfish in the third quarter of 2010.
 
  During the year, Devon added to its Canadian oil position by acquiring a 50 percent interest in the Pike oil sands leases. The Pike acreage lies immediately adjacent to the company’s highly successful Jackfish project and has estimated gross recoverable resources of up to 1.5 billion barrels. Devon is the operator of the project and is currently drilling appraisal wells to determine an optimal development configuration.
 
  The company’s net production from the Barnett Shale field in north Texas averaged 1.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day in the fourth quarter, including 42,000 barrels per day of liquids production. This represents a 14 percent increase in production compared to fourth quarter of 2009.
Oil and Gas Sales Increase 19 Percent
Sales of oil, gas and natural gas liquids from continuing operations increased 19 percent to $7.3 billion in the year ended December 31, 2010. Comparable sales for the year ended December 31, 2009, were $6.1 billion. Devon’s average full-year 2010 realized price per Boe, including the impact of hedges, increased 26 percent over the prior year to $35.81 per barrel. Higher commodity prices more than offset a decrease in production resulting from the Gulf of Mexico properties that were divested during 2010.

Full-year 2010 production from the company’s North American onshore properties grew by 3 million Boe over the prior year to a total of 223 million oil-equivalent barrels. The improvement was driven entirely by higher oil and natural gas liquids production.
Devon’s fourth quarter production was impacted by a number of minor operational issues including volume curtailments attributable to the Enbridge pipeline outage, completion delays, and interruptions due to severe weather. In aggregate, these items reduced fourth quarter production by 11,000 equivalent barrels per day. In spite of these operational issues, North American onshore production in the fourth quarter averaged 619,000 Boe per day, an eight percent increase over the fourth quarter of 2009.
Repositioning Drives Cost Savings
Cost efficiencies realized through Devon’s strategic repositioning were reflected in the company’s 2010 results. In spite of a rising industry cost environment, expenses in most categories declined or increased only modestly.
Lease operating expenses (LOE) in 2010 increased one percent over 2009 to $1.7 billion. The increase in LOE is primarily attributable to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar. Devon’s divestiture of higher cost Gulf of Mexico properties helped offset the effects of rising oilfield service and supply costs.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) of oil and gas properties decreased nine percent in 2010 to $1.7 billion. The lower DD&A expense was primarily driven by the disposition of Devon’s Gulf of Mexico properties.
General and administrative expenses declined 13 percent in 2010 to $563 million. Lower employee costs related to the company’s strategic repositioning drove the improvement.
Interest expense in 2010 increased $14 million to $363 million. However, 2010 interest expense included a $19 million charge attributable to the early redemption of the company’s senior notes. Absent the early redemption charge, interest expense declined by $5 million when compared to 2009.
Cash Flow Before Balance Sheet Changes Increases 21 Percent;
Share Repurchases and Debt Reduction Total $3 Billion
Cash flow before balance sheet changes in 2010 reached $5.7 billion, a 21 percent increase over the prior year. During 2010, divestiture sale proceeds from the company’s strategic repositioning efforts provided an additional $7 billion of cash flow. In total, these sources of cash allowed Devon to fund its total capital demands, to repurchase 18.3 million shares of common stock for $1.2 billion, and to retire $1.8 billion of debt during the year.
As of December 31, 2010, the company’s cash balances totaled $3.4 billion, reducing net debt to 10 percent of adjusted capitalization compared with 29 percent at year-end 2009. Reconciliations of cash flow before balance sheet changes, net debt and adjusted capitalization, which are non-GAAP measures, are provided in this release.
Strategic Repositioning Nears Completion
In 2010, the company divested its Gulf of Mexico operations and closed on the sale of its assets in Azerbaijan and China for aggregate pre-tax proceeds of $7 billion. The company’s remaining divestiture package, consisting of its assets in Brazil, is under contract for $3.2 billion. Total proceeds for Devon’s strategic repositioning will exceed $10 billion with after-tax proceeds approximating $8 billion.
In accordance with accounting standards, Devon has reclassified the assets, liabilities, and results of its international segment as discontinued operations for all accounting periods presented in this release. Although revenues and expenses for prior periods were reclassified, previously reported net earnings were not impacted. Included with this release is a table of revenues, expenses, production categories, and the amounts reclassified as discontinued operations for each period presented.

Although Devon successfully completed the divestiture of its Gulf of Mexico operations, results from these assets do not qualify as discontinued operations under accounting standards and reside within continuing operations. However, information is provided within this release to enable the reader to isolate results of the company’s North American onshore operations.
Items Excluded from Published Earnings Estimates
Devon’s reported net earnings include items of income and expense that are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of the company’s financial results. These items and their effects upon reported earnings for the full year and fourth quarter of 2010 were as follows:
Items affecting continuing operations:
  A change in the fair value of oil, gas and NGL derivative instruments decreased full-year earnings by $77 million pre-tax ($50 million after tax) and decreased fourth-quarter earnings by $371 million pre-tax ($244 million after tax).
 
  A change in fair value of interest-rate and other financial instruments decreased full-year earnings by $30 million pre-tax ($19 million after tax) and increased fourth-quarter earnings by $128 million pre-tax ($86 million after tax).
 
  U.S. income taxes on foreign earnings now expected to be repatriated to the U.S. decreased full-year earnings by $144 million and decreased fourth-quarter earnings by $70 million.
 
  Income tax accrual adjustments increased full-year earnings by $57 million and increased fourth-quarter earnings by $72 million.
 
  Restructuring costs decreased full-year earnings by $57 million pre-tax ($36 million after tax) and decreased fourth-quarter earnings by $2 million pre-tax ($1 million after tax).
 
  Additional interest expense attributable to the early redemption of 7.25 percent senior notes decreased full-year earnings by $19 million pre-tax ($12 million after tax).
Items affecting discontinued operations:
  Divestitures of assets increased full-year earnings by $1.8 billion pre-tax ($1.8 billion after tax) and decreased fourth-quarter earnings by $25 million pre-tax and increased after-tax earnings by $20 million.
 
  The decision to divest all international assets generated financial benefits that increased full-year earnings by $143 million pre-tax ($93 million after tax) and increased fourth-quarter earnings by $29 million pre-tax ($19 million after tax).
 
  Insurance settlement proceeds related to a business interruption claim in Azerbaijan increased full-year earnings by $60 million pre-tax ($60 million after tax).
 
  Restructuring costs increased full-year earnings by $4 million pre-tax ($3 million after tax) and decreased fourth-quarter earnings by $4 million pre-tax ($3 million after tax).
The following tables summarize the full-year and fourth-quarter effects of these items on 2010 earnings, income taxes and cash flow.

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

Devon believes that using net debt for the calculation of “net debt to adjusted capitalization” provides a better measure than using debt. Devon defines net debt as debt less cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Devon believes that netting these sources of cash against debt provides a clearer picture of the future demands on cash to repay debt.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Drill-bit capital is defined as costs incurred less proved acquisition costs and unproved acquisition costs resulting from business combinations. Drill-bit capital is a Non-GAAP measure. Devon believes drill-bit capital is relevant because it provides additional insight into costs associated with current year exploration and development activities. Certain securities analysts also use this methodology to measure Devon’s performance. It should be noted that the actual costs of reserves added through Devon’s drilling program will differ, sometimes significantly, from the direct comparison of capital spent and reserves added in any given period due to the timing of capital expenditures and reserve bookings.
