Devon also has significant international operations in Azerbaijan, Southeast Asia, South America and West Africa. Devon’s common shares trade on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol DVN. Devon’s primary goal is to build value per share by: • Exploring for undiscovered oil and gas reserves, • Purchasing and exploiting producing oil and gas properties, • Optimizing production operations to control costs, and • Maintaining a strong balance sheet with limited debt. 2 FIVE-YEAR HIGHLIGHTS The information presented below does not reflect Devon’s historical reported results. It has been restated to reflect the combined results of Devon and Santa Fe Snyder for all periods presented. This presentation conforms with the accounting method used for the August 2000 merger, the pooling-of-interests method. The restated data varies significantly from that reported for Devon on a stand- alone basis. For example, Devon previously reported total revenues and net earnings of $734 million and $95 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1999. As restated below, the combined company had total revenues of $1,277 million and a net loss of $154 million for the year ended December 31, 1999.

In 2000, Devon Energy Corporation extended its chronicle THE RIGHT ASSETS of record-breaking performances: • • • • • Net earnings climbed to $730 million, or $5.50 per share, an all-time record. Revenues were $2.8 billion, up 118% over our previous all-time record set in 1999. Oil and natural gas production reached an all-time high of 121 million barrels of oil equivalent, 38% greater than 1999. Estimated proved reserves of oil and natural gas also advanced to record levels—1.1 billion barrels of oil equivalent. 1,261 successful oil and gas wells were drilled replacing 129% of 2000 production. These results reflect the impact of one of Devon’s most important achievements of the year—our merger with Santa Fe Snyder Corporation. The merger was announced in May and was overwhelmingly approved by the shareholders of both companies on August 29, 2000. We issued 40.6 million new Devon common shares in exchange for all the outstanding shares of Santa Fe. This merger brought to Devon 386 million equivalent barrels of oil and gas reserves, substantial current production and 16 million undeveloped acres of land. More importantly, it was additive to oil and gas reserves per share, production per share, earnings per share and cash flow per share. In addition to improving company-wide and per share operating results, the Santa Fe merger strengthens our portfolio of oil and gas properties. The merger adds significantly to each of Devon’s historic core operating areas in the U.S. In the Permian Basin of west Texas and southeast New Mexico, Devon was already a top operator—the merger further reinforces our dominance. We now control almost 800,000 net acres in the Permian and we are the largest independent oil producer in the state of New Mexico. In the Rocky Mountains, Santa Fe’s portfolio of high-quality conventional oil and gas properties complements Devon’s dominant coalbed methane position. In the Gulf of Mexico, Santa Fe’s offshore blocks further reinforce our position as one of the largest operators on the shelf. In addition, Santa Fe brings an inventory of deepwater Gulf development projects with a growing production profile. Outside North America, the Santa Fe merger expands and diversifies our inter- national operations. Santa Fe’s producing properties, most notably in South America and Indonesia, and its exploration prospects in West Africa, are strategic additions to Devon’s world-class oil field in Azerbaijan. 6 Building the right assets not only requires assembling concentrations of high-quality oil and gas properties, it requires divesting those properties that do not fit. To that end, we sold several non-core properties during 2000. Our divestitures included the SACROC oil field in the Permian Basin, all of our oil and gas properties in Appalachia and our holdings in Venezuela. These were assets that came to Devon in the 1999 acquisition of PennzEnergy. We sold these properties because they had low operating margins or were outside our areas of geographic focus. Our 2001 exploration and development budget of $1.1 billion should yield yet another record for annual oil and gas production this year. This near-term growth will result primarily from lower-risk drilling projects in our traditional operating areas in North America. However, Devon’s expansion in recent years has transformed the company into a formidable competitor for industry opportunities around the globe. In addition to near-term production growth, our 2001 budget will fund a record $390 million of high potential exploration projects. These projects range from deep gas exploration in the foothills of British Columbia to testing world-class oil prospects in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. These projects have the potential to provide Devon and its shareholders meaningful long-term growth. THE RIGHT ORGANIZATION Not only have Devon’s mergers and acquisitions brought the company concentrations of high quality oil and gas properties, they have brought together a wealth of human resources as well. Devon’s employees, old and new, have joined together to meet the challenges of managing the company’s growth. Devon’s dramatic growth over the last few years has demanded changes to the company’s organizational structure. We have organized Devon’s U.S. properties into three operating divisions. We integrated Santa Fe’s Gulf of Mexico assets into Devon’s Gulf Division under the leadership of that division’s Vice President and General Manager, Bill Van Wie. Rick Clark, a Devon Vice President and General Manager prior to the merger, assumed company’s Permian/Mid-Continent Division. Following the merger, Don DeCarlo joined Devon from Santa Fe as Vice President and General Manager of the newly created Rocky Mountain Division. Duane Radtke also joined us from Santa Fe to direct our expanding International Division. Our Canadian Division remains under the capable leadership of John Richels. responsibility combined the for Bill Van Wie, Don DeCarlo and Duane Radtke are but three of the many talented and experienced professionals that have joined Devon over the last two years. By selectively offering positions to members of the PennzEnergy and Santa Fe staffs, we have assembled a highly qualified and energized team. Our staff of petrotechnical professionals has grown to over 350 from about 100 just two years ago. Terms of the merger also predicated changes to Devon’s Board of Directors. William Greehey, John Hill and Melvyn Klein joined the board from Santa Fe. At that transition Moulton Goodrum, John Hagg, Henry Hamman, H. R. Sanders and Brent Scowcroft left the Devon board. I acknowledge the valuable contribution of each departing director and heartily welcome our new directors. James Pate, who resigned his position as Chairman of the Board in 2000, warrants special recognition. The acquisi- tion and smooth integration of PennzEnergy would not have been possible without his valuable assistance. James Payne, previously CEO and Chairman of Santa Fe Snyder, joined Devon as Vice Chairman of the Board upon completion of the merger. Jim retired in January of 2001. His support and guidance during the merger and integration of our companies were invaluable. We are deeply indebted to him for this lasting contribution. Just six months after the Santa Fe merger, integration of the two companies is essentially complete. This process was expedited by the natural geographic fit of the Devon and Santa Fe properties. Contributing to the ease of integration was the valuable experience gained through our successful integration of PennzEnergy in 1999. The structural reorganization Devon imple- mented with the PennzEnergy acquisition provided a ready platform for further growth. When the opportunity to merge with Santa Fe arose, Devon was positioned to confidently take another leap forward. THE RIGHT BALANCE In spite of the challenge of integrating the largest merger in the company’s history during 2000, we demonstrated remarkably good performance with the drill bit. We successfully completed 95% of the 1,328 wells drilled during the year. This added oil and gas reserves through discoveries and revisions of 156 million barrels of oil equivalent. Before acquisitions, we replaced 129% of total 2000 production. With related capital costs of just over $900 million, our 2000 finding and development cost from drilling and revisions was only $5.80 per barrel of oil equivalent. Projects spanning the risk spectrum contributed to the success of Devon’s 2000 drilling efforts. We drilled over 500 successful low-risk wells in our coalbed methane projects in the Rocky Mountains. In the Permian/Mid-Continent Division we drilled 322 wells with a success rate of 98%. In the Gulf of Mexico we executed an active exploitation program with excel- lent results. These low risk exploitation and development projects were balanced with high impact exploratory drilling. We success- fully completed high potential wells in the Gulf of Mexico, in the foothills of western Canada and in south Louisiana. For more detail on Devon’s 2000 drilling activities, see the properties discussion beginning on page 15 of this annual report. THE RIGHT FINANCIAL RESOURCES During 2000, we took important steps to further strengthen our balance sheet and ensure a level of financial flexibility that will allow us to capture future growth opportunities: • • • In June 2000, we issued $346 million of zero coupon convertible debentures at an effective annual interest rate of just 3.875%. The proceeds from the sale of these debentures were used primarily to repay higher rate debt. In August 2000, we increased our unsecured long-term credit facilities to $1 billion. Also in August, we initiated a commercial paper program that allows Devon to meet short-term borrowing needs at rates available to only the largest and strongest of companies. Mergers and acquisitions, especially when debt is assumed, can weaken the financial strength of the acquirer. Quite the opposite was the case with Devon and Santa Fe. Immediately upon closing the merger in August, Devon received an upgrade to our already enviable credit rating. In doing so, the rating agencies applauded our larger property base, increased cash flow and finan- cial discipline. Devon’s credit rating now puts us in the fellowship of much larger companies. THE RIGHT OUTLOOK Devon’s impressive financial results in 2000 reflect excep- tionally high prices for oil and natural gas. The outlook for 2001 oil and gas prices remains unusually strong. However, we know from past experience that market conditions can change quickly. Armed with this knowledge, we will continue to position Devon 7 to take advantage of volatile oil and gas prices. We will make investment decisions based on realistic long-term oil and gas price assumptions. We will concentrate our operations in the areas where we can be most competitive. We will keep our overall cost structure low and our balance sheet strong. As I look to 2001 and beyond, I am extremely optimistic about Devon’s future. Our base of high quality producing proper- ties should generate another year of record oil and gas production. In addition, we have more long-term growth potential through exploration than ever before. We have dedicated and experienced staff across the organization. We have extensive experience in completing acquisitions that deliver per share growth. And we have the financial strength and flexibility to pursue almost any opportunity we select. Devon Energy Corporation has the right resources to deliver the growth that you have come to expect. J. LARRY NICHOLS President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors March 12, 2001 Environmental and Safety Awards Devon is routinely recognized by governments and industrial groups for exemplary environmental, health and safety performance. In 2000, Devon received four prestigious awards for environmental and safety excellence: • • • • Bureau of Land Management Director’s Excellence Award for operations in New Mexico, The Gas Processors Association Accident Prevention Award for operations at our Worland, Wyoming gas plant, A Gold Champion Level Reporter Award from Canada’s Climate Change Voluntary Challenge and Registry Incorporated, and Special recognition by the Republic of Indonesia for Devon’s outstanding safety record as an operator on the island of Sumatra. p ag e 8 9 EXECUTIVE Q&A Members of Devon’s senior management answer Wall Street’s questions. The right s t r a t e gy. At the time of the PennzEnergy acquisition in late 1999, it was the largest in your history. What is your appraisal of the PennzEnergy merger now that you have had another year to evaluate its results? Larry Nichols, President, CEO and Chairman of the Board: The PennzEnergy acquisition was an unqualified success and our timing could not have been better. The transaction doubled our oil and gas production just as prices began to increase significantly. It was highly accretive to asset value per share and to per share operating results. The merger broadened the scope of our operations domestically and provided a platform from which to expand inter- nationally. It gave us added marketing clout and purchasing strength at a time when service and supply costs were starting to rise. By every measure, the PennzEnergy deal was a home run. Two operating areas stand out as especially notable successes: the Gulf of Mexico and the Raton Basin. The offshore Gulf of Mexico was a core area for PennzEnergy. With our merger, Devon immediately reached critical mass in the Gulf. However, PennzEn- ergy had been suffering significant production declines in the Gulf. We knew from our pre-merger evaluation that PennzEnergy had high quality properties in the Gulf and solid technical expertise. We believed that with greater capital investment and encouragement from management, the Gulf Division could turn around the production decline. We were right. In 2000, we had a series of Gulf drilling successes and by the second quarter production was on the rise. The Raton Basin is another success story. Devon is a leader in coalbed methane production and technology. Our fields in the San Juan Basin in New Mexico have produced for over a decade. In 1998, we expanded our coalbed methane expertise into the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. It is now the fastest growing gas producing area in the company. PennzEnergy brought us a third, major coalbed methane play. Through the merger we acquired 700,000 acres in the Vermejo Park Ranch in the Raton Basin in northeastern New Mexico. The ranch contained vast coal deposits prospective for coalbed methane development. In our evaluation of PennzEnergy, we learned that the area had interesting potential. However, because the acreage was unproven and had no production history, we were unwilling to attribute significant value when negotiating the purchase of PennzEnergy. Since that time, we have been aggressively developing this asset. We now have around 120 wells producing and expect to drill another 100 in each of the next few years. The results have been very encouraging. We have booked more than 140 billion cubic feet of proved reserves to date and production is climbing. It now appears that the PennzEnergy merger put a third jewel on our coalbed methane crown. 1 0 Early in 2001, Devon hedged the price on a significant portion of its expected 2002 natural gas production. Why? Darryl Smette, Senior Vice President – Marketing: Oil and gas prices are influenced by weather patterns, varying levels of economic activity, the availability of risk capital and a host of other variables beyond our control. Since we cannot reliably predict prices over any extended period, we accept this uncertainty as a given in our industry. Nevertheless, we believe that by limiting debt, controlling costs and deploying capital based on realistic price assumptions, we can achieve attractive operating margins—even when prices are low. Early this year, in response to unusually high natural gas prices, we entered into a series of hedging transactions with some very large and well capitalized organizations. These transactions supplemented other fixed price sales contracts and financial hedges already in place. These new transactions allowed us to lock in fixed prices and ranges of prices for the second half of 2001 and for 2002. Swaps and costless collars were the vehicles utilized. The swaps captured a gas price that is more than double the average price we received over the last five years. The costless collars provide a floor that is at least 35% greater than the average price received during the last five years. In exchange for low-end price protection, we gave up some possible price upside should actual prices exceed the swap price or the upper end of the collars. Because our underlying belief is that gas prices will tend to normalize over time, we were presented with an opportunity that limited the downside on a significant portion of our gas production. And by keeping over 50% of our expected production unhedged, we will continue to participate in any extended price rallies. With record revenues, Devon is generating cash flow significantly in excess of capital requirements. What are your plans for use of the excess cash? Allen Turner, Senior Vice President – Corporate Development: In 2000, our cash margin (revenues less cash expenses) of $1.7 billion exceeded capital expenditures by about $500 million. In 2001, our cash margin will very likely exceed our capital requirements again. The most attractive option, when available, is to reinvest the excess cash in high rate-of-return oil and gas projects. A significant discovery on one of our prospects in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico or offshore West Africa could require hundreds of millions of dollars to fully develop. In addition, with consolidation acceler- ating in our industry, we will likely have opportunities to make attractive acquisitions. The most obvious action for a highly leveraged company would be to continue to repay debt. However, Devon already has one of the strongest balance sheets among independent oil and gas producers. We entered 2001 with net debt of only 27% of total capital. In addition, some of our current indebtedness has early repayment penalties that are too costly to justify. We will repay debt when it is financially prudent to do so, but we will not aggressively repay debt if we judge the costs to be too high. Another possible use for excess cash is repurchasing stock. In early 2001, Devon initiated a program to buy back up to two million common shares from holders of less than 100 shares. This program serves two purposes. By reducing the number of shares outstanding, each remaining shareholder’s stake in the company is increased. In addition, eliminating small accounts with just a few shares of stock reduces administrative costs. 1 1 What is Devon’s international strategy? Michael Lacey, Senior Vice President – Exploration and Production: Because the majority of the world’s remaining undiscovered oil and gas reserves lie outside North America, we elected to estab- lish an international presence. However, we recognized that establishing a meaningful international position through grass roots explo- ration takes many years. It requires significant capital investment far in advance of any likely returns. Devon is entering the international arena in the same way that we established significant positions in most of our North American core areas. Through mergers completed over the last two years, we have acquired footholds in several areas outside North America. We have taken years off the lead time that would otherwise have been required. In just two years we have established operations in South America, West Africa, Asia and Indonesia. We have knowledgeable and experienced staff in these areas as well as working relationships with the host governments. Devon and our shareholders have been spared considerable lead time and capital investment. The international assets assembled by PennzEnergy and Santa Fe Snyder are of varying quality and stages of maturity. In addition, some of these assets were accompanied by drilling and capital commitments. We will honor these commitments and learn as much as possible about the opportunities and risks in each area. Our assets outside North America will ultimately be judged on the same criteria by which we evaluate all opportunities. Devon chooses to compete in areas where we have, or believe that we can estab- lish critical mass, and the resulting economies of scale. A project area must have the potential to reach sufficient size to be meaningful to the company as a whole. We also prefer to operate in areas that provide a relatively stable political environment, a reasonable fiscal regime and access to strong or growing oil and gas markets. Our ultimate goal is to establish significant oil and gas production in a few select international areas. We expect to divest our holdings in some areas, build upon the assets we retain in others and possibly establish ourselves in some new areas. The past year saw record high prices for natural gas and concerns about supply shortages. Are we running out of natural gas? Larry Nichols: No. Studies indicate that abundant supplies of undiscovered natural gas remain throughout North America. However, much of this gas lies beneath public lands. The U.S. government has restricted the energy industry’s access to public lands for drilling while at the same time encouraging the consumption of clean, efficient natural gas. The result of these contrary policies was predictable and inevitable. Yet, three years of unusually warm winters masked the signs of declining natural gas deliverability. The cold weather early in the winter of 2000-2001 finally caused supply and demand forces to collide. Gas prices soared. The current situation is severe enough to suggest that natural gas supply and demand may be in tight balance for the next few years. Unlike crude oil, which can be easily transported around the world in tankers, natural gas is transported almost exclusively by pipelines. That means we must look to North America to satisfy the vast majority of our needs for natural gas. High gas prices will cause the oil and gas industry to increase drilling. More drilling in existing producing areas alone, however, may not result in enough new supply to ease the current pinch. Access to public lands can make a difference. The recent natural gas price shocks will bring this issue to the political forefront. We encourage our government to ease access to public lands to allow the industry to develop our conti- nent’s vast untapped natural gas resources. 1 2 From an administrative perspective, what were your greatest challenges in integrating PennzEnergy and Santa Fe Snyder into Devon? Marian Moon, Senior Vice President – Administration: From my perspective, our toughest challenge was integrating the myriad of management information systems, human resources policies and employment benefit programs. Our goal was to take the best from each organization and integrate them while maintaining a competitive cost structure. The three organizations had a wide variety of management information systems. Some were good, some were inadequate and some were duplicative or redundant. We are thoroughly evaluating and testing every system. We are trying to be as open minded as possible, not giving preference to the Devon systems just because we are familiar with them. We want to build an integrated information network that will be compatible, cost effective and will provide reliable and timely management reporting tools. I believe that we have succeeded in establishing the process to accomplish our goals. We are well on the way to having a management reporting system that will be among the best in our industry. On the human resources side, the challenge was to provide Devon’s employees with a competitive, yet cost effective, package of benefits. While some fine tuning remains, this process is essentially complete. Devon has adopted a comprehensive package of employee benefits and human resources policies and procedures consistent with the needs of a large independent. We are well positioned to compete for and retain the employee talent necessary to sustain our growth profile. Furthermore, our general and administrative costs remain among the lowest in the industry. Having completed three major mergers and acquisitions in three years, does Devon still have an appetite for acquisitions? Larry Nichols: Yes, we continually look for opportunities to complete value-added mergers and acquisitions. We have refined the process of identi- fying and executing mergers and acquisitions into a core competency. As a result, we are often on the short list of potential buyers when opportunities arise. We are dedicated to achieving very clear strategic goals. We strive to establish large, focused positions in areas where we can earn a high rate of return. Acquisitions are a means to achieve this goal. An example is our entry into Canada. In the early 1990’s we identified Canada as a desirable area for Devon’s expansion. We believed that the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin held exploration promise. In addition, we expected the developing gas-trans- portation infrastructure from Canada to robust U.S. gas markets would improve the profitability of Canadian production. In 1996, we established a foothold with our acquisition of Kerr McGee’s North American onshore properties. While most of the properties acquired were in Devon’s historical U.S. focus areas, the acquisition also included a small operation in Canada. In 1998, we leveraged our experi- ence and built on this position with our merger with Northstar Energy. In just two years, we had become a significant and profitable factor in the Canadian oil and gas business. We have an experienced staff, a growing exploration program and we are well positioned to pursue additional acquisitions should the opportunity arise. Alternatively, we could have opened a Canadian office, started leasing acreage, and built a Canadian division from the ground up. This would have likely been an expensive proposition for Devon’s shareholders. It would have taken years to establish a significant position, learn the ropes and begin realizing a return on our investment. We will continue to look to mergers and acquisitions as part of our larger strategy. We will remain disciplined and when the right opportunities become available, we will utilize mergers and acquisitions to expand our presence in established core areas and to jumpstart moves into new ones. 1 3 Social, Environmental, Health and Safety Philosophy. Devon Energy Corporation recognizes our obligation to conduct our business lawfully, ethically, and in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. We strive to achieve a high level of performance in each of these areas. The prevention of accidents, respect for the environ- ment, and promotion of safe working conditions at the company’s work locations is a long-established company philosophy. Our greatest assets in applying this philosophy are well informed and highly committed employees working together to meet or exceed government and industry standards. Achievement of this level of performance is primarily the responsibility of supervisors within each operating unit. However, every employee and contractor is expected to work safely, in a manner compat- ible with the natural environment, and to promptly report environmental, health or safety-related incidents. Participation and adherence to this philosophy is a requirement for Devon employees. P O RTFOLIO OF OIL AND GAS PROPERT I E S 1 5 The right a s s e t s . Devon has managed its portfolio of oil and gas properties to provide a stable platform for future growth. We have concen- trated our properties to achieve economies of scale and high operating margins while providing a growing inventory of future drilling opportunities. We have focused our assets in the areas where we can be most competitive. By concentrating our proper- ties, we have become a dominant operator in most of our producing areas. This makes Devon an important customer to drilling, service and supply companies. It translates to greater purchasing power, better service and lower costs. Concentrating our oil and gas production also gives us marketing clout, resulting in higher prices for the oil and natural gas we sell. An additional benefit of a highly concentrated asset base is the development of regional expertise. Our geologists, geophysicists and engineers become intimately familiar with the geologic and operating characteristics of a region. As a result, we have a competitive advantage, both in optimizing current operations and in identifying additional growth opportunities. Devon’s property base yields a source of high-return investment opportunities and a stable source of cash flow with which to pursue these opportunities. We have organized our operations geographically into five separate divisions. Each of Devon’s operating divisions is staffed by a team of geoscientists, engineers, land professionals and support personnel in the division offices and in the field. Each division controls an underlying base of producing oil and gas wells and an inventory of undeveloped lands on which to explore for new oil and gas reserves. We conduct operations in the U.S. through our Permian/Mid-Continent, Rocky Mountain and Gulf divisions. Our Calgary, Alberta-based Northstar subsidiary, conducts our operations in Canada and our operations outside North America are directed through our International Division. 1 6 P R I M A RY OPERATING AREAS North American Operations C A N A D A ROCKY MOUNTA I N S PERMIAN / MID-C ONTINENT G U L F PERMIAN / MID-CONTINENT DIVISION The Permian/Mid-Continent Division encompasses south- east New Mexico, north, east and west Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi and northern Louisiana. With more than a fourth of the company's proved reserves and almost one-third of current oil and gas production, it is our largest division. Current production is about one-half oil and one-half natural gas. Although the Permian/Mid-Continent area was home to some of the earliest oil and gas discoveries in the United States, the area continues to offer many exploration and low-risk devel- opment opportunities. In 2000, we drilled 175 net wells in the Permian/Mid-Continent with a 98% success rate. These wells replaced more than 160% of the division’s oil and gas production with new reserve additions. In 2001, we are stepping up our activity in the Permian/Mid-Continent with plans to drill more than 200 net wells. About 40 of these wells are planned in the Carthage, Bethany, Sligo area of east Texas and north Louisiana. Many of these wells will extend the limits of producing reservoirs as well as test shallower and deeper undeveloped horizons. We also plan to increase reserves and production in this area through downspacing. Downspacing, or drilling wells closer together within producing fields, is predictable, low-risk drilling. Over time, we have decreased well spacing in the Carthage, Bethany, Sligo area from 640 acres per well to as little as 40 acres per well. We have increased production in this area five-fold since the early 1980's. This activity has also added significant reserves. Devon holds more than 300,000 net undeveloped acres in north Louisiana. Most of this acreage was acquired in our 2000 merger with Santa Fe Snyder. This acreage holds exploration potential for the traditional Hosston and Cotton Valley gas reser- voirs at 9,000 to 12,000 feet. In addition, significant upside may exist in both deeper zones such as the Bossier and shallower coal formations. We will begin testing the potential of this acreage with exploratory wells during 2001. Another example of our exploration activities in the Permian/Mid-Continent area is our Maben Field. This field lies on the eastern edge of the Permian/Mid-Continent Division in the Black Warrior Basin of Mississippi. In 1998, Devon and an industry partner made a 100 billion cubic feet natural gas discovery in the Knox formation at a depth of about 15,000 feet. We have continued to develop this discovery with two success- fully completed development wells and another currently drilling. In 2001 we plan to drill two more development wells at Maben. In addition, we have identified numerous leads on similar structures. We are acquiring additional acreage and during 2001 we plan to begin testing these new prospects with exploratory wells. 1 7 ROCKY MOUNTAIN DIVISION The Rocky Mountain Division includes northern New Mexico and the states of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. This gas- prone area comprises 24% of Devon’s proved oil and gas reserves and generated 16% of 2000 production. With production expected to increase about 30% in 2001, this is Devon’s fastest growing division. Much of our 2001 production growth in the Rockies will result from expansion of our coalbed methane projects. Coalbed methane, or CBM, is natural gas produced from underground coal deposits. Our CBM production is characterized by minimal drilling risk, low development costs, low operating costs and a long economic life. It differs from conventional natural gas in that production generally starts out low and increases throughout the early life of the wells. As the water is pumped out of the coal, the well is “dewatered” and gas production increases. Devon was a pioneer in the development of CBM technology. In the mid-1980’s, Devon advanced one of the first and most successful CBM projects in the world—the Northeast Blanco Unit. Fifteen years later, this property in the San Juan Basin of northwestern New Mexico is still producing at very high rates. It is expected to produce significant quantities of natural gas for decades to come. Due to the low drilling risk and desirable economics of our CBM production, Devon has applied the experience gained in the San Juan Basin to other CBM projects throughout the Rocky Mountains. We have large-scale CBM projects underway and we are gathering data and leasing acreage in areas prospective for CBM development. In 1998, we began to develop CBM in the Powder River Basin of northeast Wyoming. Our 250,000 net acres in the basin makes us one of the largest operators in Wyoming. Through the end of 2000, we had drilled over 600 Powder River CBM wells. At the end of 2000, Devon’s production from these wells was about 60 million cubic feet per day and climbing. In 2001, our production is expected to average 90 to 100 million cubic feet per day. We plan to drill more than 1,000 additional wells here over the next few years. With nearly three-quarters of our lands still undeveloped and an estimated net resource potential of a trillion cubic feet of gas, we expect the Powder River to be an important source of production and reserve growth for years to come. Devon is also developing CBM production in the Raton Basin of northeast New Mexico and southeast Colorado. Devon has an interest in 280,000 acres with CBM potential in the Raton Basin, giving us one of the largest positions in the play. Our economics here are enhanced by an arrangement with an industry partner. This joint venture allows Devon to receive over 40% of the revenue while bearing only 25% of the capital costs. We drilled 89 wells in this project during 2000 and expect to drill about 100 wells in each of the next few years. As these wells dewater, production is climbing and just beginning to reach meaningful rates. Early indications are that the Raton Basin will become another important CBM source for Devon. Although it is too early to determine the ultimate degree of success, Devon’s net resource potential in the Raton Basin is estimated to range from 500 billion to one trillion cubic feet of natural gas. During 2000, we began to test the potential for CBM production on our acreage in the Beaver Creek area of Wyoming’s Wind River Basin. While this area is known primarily for produc- tion from conventional reservoirs, multiple coal formations underlie our 50,000 net acres. In 2000, we drilled five CBM wells to test the potential. These wells are in the early stages of dewatering and we are monitoring the results closely. Should the pilot program prove successful, we will aggressively develop this resource. Although CBM is the fastest growing resource in the Rocky Mountain Division, conventional wells still account for more than half of the gas produced within the division. Our Washakie Field in south central Wyoming is Devon’s largest conventional gas area. In 2000, we drilled 58 Washakie wells with 100% success. We plan to drill 70 wells here during 2001. With over 200,000 net acres and up to 400 undrilled locations, we will be actively devel- oping the Washakie for many years to come. GULF DIVISION The Gulf Division conducts oil and gas exploration and production operations offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and onshore in south Texas and south Louisiana. The division accounts for 11 % of Devon’s total proved reserves and contributed 32% of 2000 production. Production is about two-thirds gas, providing Devon with significant exposure to this premium natural gas market. O ffshore operations account for over 80% of reserves and produc- tion within the Gulf Division. In terms of capital allocation, Devon has earmarked 30% of its 2001 drilling and facilities budget for the Gulf Division, with over two-thirds of that planned for off s h o r e p r o j e c t s . Gulf - Shelf The Gulf of Mexico is comprised of two major operating areas, as defined by water depth. In the shelf area, with water depths up to 600 feet, Devon is one of the 10 largest oil and gas producers. The shelf is a relatively mature producing region that is a vital source of U.S. natural gas supply. Devon’s shelf wells produce around 70,000 net barrels of oil equivalent per day. We hold approximately 650,000 net acres on the shelf, about one-half of which is developed. Our shelf strategy emphasizes exploitation — drilling for new reserves close to existing producing facilities. We are often able to quickly tie-in new wells to our existing infrastructure. This improves our overall project economics. Devon’s shelf exploita- tion success has been enhanced through the application of 1 8 advanced technology in seismic, drilling and completion methods. We are currently pioneering the use of four-component, or “4C” seismic in two areas on the shelf. This developing technology greatly improves the resolution of seismic images below shallow gas deposits. These shallow gas “clouds” tend to inhibit the imaging of deep structures with conventional 3D seismic techniques. Last year we acquired over 300 square miles of 4C seismic data in the West Cameron area, offshore Louisiana. We estimate the unrisked potential gas reserves on our acreage under- lying this 4C data to be 300 billion cubic feet. New 4C data is currently being acquired in the Eugene Island area, also offshore Louisiana. At West Cameron block 587, Devon is employing horizontal drilling. This advanced drilling technology allows us to economically develop relatively thin shallow gas formations from our existing platforms. Our shelf strategy employs exploration drilling in addition to exploitation. While the distinction between exploitation and exploration can be subtle, exploratory wells generally have a higher risk/reward profile. During 2000, we made several explo- ration discoveries on the Gulf shelf. These include Eugene Island block 156. This discovery began producing in October at over 50 million cubic feet of gas and 1,600 barrels of condensate per day. Also included is what appears to be a significant oil and gas discovery at High Island A-582. A second well to further delineate this discovery was successful and a third well is currently drilling. First production is expected in 2002, following installation of a new producing platform. In 2001, we expect to drill 35 wells on the shelf. While most of these will be lower-risk exploitation and development wells, we plan to drill five to eight high-potential shelf exploration wells. Gulf - Deepwater While the shelf is relatively mature, the deepwater Gulf is a promising frontier area. The deepwater Gulf is believed to hold some of the largest remaining undiscovered reserves in North America. A developing infrastructure and recent advances in technology have opened the deepwater to exploration by indepen- dent oil and gas companies. Devon holds approximately 400,000 net acres in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico of which about 90% is unexplored. Because deepwater exploration is capital intensive, our strategy is to move cautiously. We avoid ultra-deepwater and focus our efforts on prospects in water depths for which infra- structure and production technology are well established. We participate with industry partners, retaining smaller interests in each project to further mitigate risk. We also limit our participa- tion to no more than four deepwater exploratory wells each year. In 2000, Devon participated in two deepwater discovery wells. While these discoveries, Pecten and Maria, lie in deepwater, they are close enough to be tied back to our Main Pass block 259 This deepwater drilling rig is used in water depths up to 2,000 feet. In 2001, we plan to participate in at least two exploration wells in the deepwater of the Gulf of Mexico. facilities on the shelf. We expect to tie-in these discoveries in 2001. In the first half of 2001, we will begin drilling the Mt. Massive prospect on Garden Banks block 600, off s h o r e Louisiana. This prospect, with an estimated gross well cost of $25 million, lies in 3,200 feet of water. Estimated total depth of the test well is 24,000 feet. Mt. Massive is in the prolific Auger Basin where Devon has already established deepwater production. Reserve potential for Mt. Massive exceeds 80 million barrels of oil equivalent and we hold a 25% working interest. In late 2001 or early 2002, we expect to initiate drilling of the Cortes Prospect on Port Isabel block 175, offshore Texas. The Cortes prospect lies in 3,300 feet of water. The estimated total depth of the well is 18,000 feet with an estimated gross well cost of $24 million. Devon has a 25% working interest in this prospect. Cortes is one of the largest untested structures remaining in the Gulf of Mexico. It has estimated unrisked reserve potential of 250 million barrels of oil equivalent. Either of these two wells, if successful, has the potential to significantly increase Devon’s deepwater reserves. 1 9 Gulf Onshore Devon holds about 300,000 net acres onshore in south Texas and south Louisiana. About 80% of that acreage is devel- oped for oil and gas production. Most of our acreage in this area was acquired in Devon’s 1999 merger with PennzEnergy. Since this was not a focus area for PennzEnergy, this acreage was under- developed. During 2000, we stepped up activity with the drilling of 34 wells. Based on the success of the 2000 program, we will almost double that number in 2001 to an estimated 62 wells. One area we are actively pursuing is Ray Ranch in south Texas. In 2000, we evaluated the results of a new 3D seismic survey over the ranch. Based on the potential we saw, we have been acquiring additional acreage. We drilled three successful wells at Ray Ranch in 2000 and plan to drill a dozen more in 2001. Another notable Gulf onshore discovery during 2000 was in the Patterson Field in south Louisiana. Devon’s Zenor A-16 logged 250 feet of pay and tested over 20 million cubic feet of gas per day. Our interest in this well is 50%. CANADIAN DIVISION Devon’s Canadian operations are conducted through North- star Energy, our subsidiary headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. Canada accounted for 12% of Devon’s proved reserves at year- end 2000 and 13% of 2000 oil and gas production. On a stand- alone basis, Devon’s Canadian operations would rank twelfth among Canadian independent producers. Our Canadian produc- tion is approximately two-thirds natural gas. About 15% of Devon’s total 2001 budget for drilling and facilities is dedicated to Canada, and 85% of that is related to exploration for and devel- opment of natural gas. Over a third of Devon’s Canadian oil and gas reserves are located in the shallow gas areas of northern Alberta. This is where we will do the majority of our drilling in Canada in 2001. In most of these shallow gas areas, drilling is restricted to the winter months of December through March. This is because the soft, wet ground must be frozen to allow access to heavy drilling equip- ment. Wells here range between 1,000 and 2,500 feet in depth and can be drilled quickly and inexpensively. Devon has become very efficient at drilling shallow gas wells in Alberta, and over the past three years we have cut average drilling costs in half. We expect to drill more than 100 shallow gas wells in the winter-only access areas of northern Alberta during 2001. Devon also has an aggressive exploration program underway on our more than two million net undeveloped acres in Canada. Our highest potential project area is the northern foothills of British Columbia and Alberta. We hold 248,000 acres with an average working interest of 47%. We are currently drilling two deep gas wells in the northern foothills following a significant gas discovery on the Weejay prospect in 1998. Wells in this area range between 6,000 and 15,000 feet in depth and the deeper wells can take many months to drill and test. Exploration targets range up to 300 billion cubic feet of natural gas each, so discoveries can significantly increase reserves and production. In 2001, Devon will test five new structures in the northern foothills and acquire additional exploration acreage. The Weejay discovery, which produced over 20 million cubic feet of gas per day during testing, will commence production in late 2001 or early 2002. A promising longer-term avenue for increasing gas produc- tion in Canada is coalbed methane. There is little or no commer- cial coalbed methane production in Canada today. However, the rapid growth of coalbed methane production in the U.S. suggests that such developments in Canada may be close at hand. Devon is an industry leader in producing gas from coal deposits in the Rocky Mountains. Devon’s Rocky Mountain and Canadian divisions are teaming up to share expertise acquired south of the border. We have identified several areas in Canada that are prospective for coalbed methane exploration. To date, we have acquired 39,000 net acres with underlying coal deposits. Devon’s early entry into Canadian coalbed methane exploration and devel- opment may give us a first-mover advantage. Mineral Revenues Stewardship Award For the fourth consecutive year Devon’s Accounting Department received the United States Department of Interior Mineral Revenues Stewardship Award in 2000. This award recognizes those companies with the lowest error rates, most timely payments and utmost responsiveness to compliance and enforcement requests. More than 1,600 companies report to the Minerals Management Service. Devon was one of only two oil and gas companies to receive the Stewardship Award in 2000. 2 0 International Operations B R A Z I L A Z E R B A I J A N A R G E N T I N A WEST AFRIC A I N D O N E S I A INTERNATIONAL DIVISION Approximately 25% of Devon’s proved reserves are located outside North America. Most of these international reserves are concentrated in three countries: Azerbaijan, Indonesia and Argentina. Although a quarter of Devon’s reserves are located outside North America, international production was just 9% of the company’s total production in 2000. This reflects both the relative immaturity of our international operations and the long lead times often required in bringing international discoveries to market. Because natural gas markets outside North America are generally not well developed, Devon’s international efforts are focused predominantly on oil. However, as natural gas markets develop, we expect natural gas to become a growing part of our international production mix. We plan to deploy about $270 million of our 2001 capital budget in the International Division. A full one-third of that amount will be directed toward higher risk/reward exploration projects with the potential to substantially increase reserves. Because most of North America’s oil and gas producing basins are more mature than those found abroad, international basins have far greater potential for large oil and gas discoveries. Devon holds 12 million net acres of undeveloped lands in 13 countries outside North America. Some of the most exciting prospects on these lands lie under the waters of coastal West Africa. Devon holds substantial land positions offshore Ghana, Gabon and Congo where we have active exploration programs underway. Through a joint venture with another large U.S. independent, we will be conducting seismic surveys and drilling exploratory wells on these blocks over the next few years. In addition to our exploration in West Africa, we plan to drill exploratory wells in Egypt, China, Malaysia, Argentina and Brazil in 2001 and 2002. At the end of 2000, approximately 37% of our proved reserves outside North America were in Azerbaijan, located offshore in the Caspian Sea. Devon now has a 5.6% interest in the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) oil field, including 0.8% acquired in February 2001. The ACG field is believed to contain over 4 billion barrels of proved reserves, making it one of the largest oil fields in the world. Devon is in partnership with major interna- tional oil companies in developing the ACG field. Under the terms of Devon’s participation, one of these companies pays our share of current capital costs. Development of the ACG field is constrained today by the lack of adequate export pipelines from the region. When adequate pipeline systems are in place, Azerbaijan will become a significant supplier of crude oil to world markets and a significant producing asset for Devon. Devon’s second largest international area is in Indonesia. Our current production here is primarily oil and natural gas liquids—about 13,000 barrels per day. However, in February 2001, Devon signed a groundbreaking 20-year agreement to supply Indonesian natural gas to nearby Singapore. This paves the way to begin producing our extensive gas reserves on the island of Sumatra. Deliveries to Singapore should begin by 2003 2 1 following construction of an export pipeline. Initially, Devon’s share of production will be about 26 million cubic feet of gas per day. This will increase to 48 million cubic feet per day when production peaks in 2009. The gas sales will have the added benefit of increasing our liquids production as well. Because the gas to be sold to Singapore is rich in natural gas liquids and oil-like conden- sate, the liquids will be removed from the gas and sold separately. Devon will gain another 4,000 barrels per day of liquids sales when gas production begins. The sales price of gas to be delivered to Singapore is based on the price of the fuel oil it will replace. Had the contract been in effect in 2000, the price received for this gas would have been about $4 per thousand cubic feet. Another significant concentration of Devon’s international reserves lies in Argentina. Our reserves in Argentina are about two- thirds natural gas and one-third oil. The development of natural gas markets in Argentina and in neighboring Chile and Brazil is improving the profitability of production in this part of South America. Our current development efforts are focused in the Neuquen Basin of central Argentina. In early 2000, we acquired a 100% working interest in the El Mangrullo block. We believe we can establish production from this block by developing the El Tordillo formation. In addition, we plan to develop a shallower formation that is productive in other parts of the Neuquen Basin. A recent 3D seismic program over the area will guide these develop- ment efforts. A key element of our international strategy is to bring focus to these operations and build critical mass in the areas where we can be most competitive. Accordingly, Devon will ultimately surrender positions in some of the 13 countries in which we now have inter- ests. The results of this year’s drilling program will begin to answer many open questions. A worker maintains an oil field road in Indonesia. In early 2001, Devon signed a groundbreaking agreement to supply Indonesian natural gas to Singapore. Corporate Leadership Award Blaine Wofford, a Devon marketing manager, was awarded the 2000 Corporate Leadership Award by the United States Department of Interior Minerals Management Service. This honor is presented to oil and gas professionals who enhance the agency’s ability to achieve its objectives. Blaine was recognized for assisting the Minerals Management Service with its Gulf of Mexico Royalty-in-Kind gas pilot project. He worked closely with the Minerals Management Service to resolve operational, transportation and processing issues involving Devon’s federal offshore properties. He provided valuable insight and knowledge by mentoring Minerals Management Service employees who had little or no previous experience in the marketing and movement of natural gas. Blaine’s conduct exemplifies the cooperative working relationship Devon continually strives to foster with regulatory agencies and all of our business partners. 2 2 O P E R ATING STATISTICS BY AREA PERMIAN BASIN MID- CONTINENT TOTALPERMIAN/ MID-CONTINENT ROCKY MOUNTAINS ONSHORE GULF OFFSHORE GULF Producing Wells at Year-End 14,315 3,548 17,863 3,397 754 1,010 2000 Production (Net of Royalties): Oil (MBbls) Gas (MMcf) Natural Gas Liquids (MBbls) Total (Mboe) (1) Average Prices: Oil Price ($/Bbl) Gas Price ($/Mcf) Natural Gas Liquids Price ($/Bbl) Year-End Reserves (Net of Royalties): Oil (MBbls) Gas (MMcf) Natural Gas Liquids (MBbls) Total (Mboe) (1) Year-End Present Value of Reserves (Thousands): (2) Before Income Tax After Income Tax Year-End Leasehold (Net Acres): Producing Undeveloped Wells Drilled During 2000 2000 Exploration, Development & Facilities Expenditures (Millions) (3) Estimated 2001 Exploration, Development & Facilities Expenditures (Millions) (4) $ $ $ 11,876 57,675 1,933 23,421 23.36 3.59 19.39 120,162 318,295 19,786 192,997 2,082 56,740 2,204 13,743 26.48 3.72 19.82 12,417 503,723 19,489 115,860 13,958 114,415 4,137 37,164 23.82 3.66 19.61 132,579 822,018 39,275 308,857 2,928 91,699 693 18,904 27.96 3.38 20.70 45,618 1,248,534 4,495 258,202 838 23,673 320 5,104 29.59 3.71 20.84 4,133 90,549 1,350 20,575 10,838 125,300 1,552 33,273 26.54 3.90 21.83 43,207 360,206 398 103,639 $ 2,645,957 2,316,626 4,962,583 4,796,594 539,027 3,098,340 370,590 392,002 415,434 608,861 786,024 1,000,863 308,355 1,493,846 247,918 54,047 383,338 653,282 244 122 $ 78 66 322 188 598 147 33 50 56 233 $ 125 - 140 75 - 90 200 - 230 110 - 140 85 - 105 210 - 250 (1) Gas converted to oil at the ratio of 6 Mcf:1 Bbl.

The transaction was closed on August 29, 2000. The merger was the largest transaction in our history, and it moved us into the top five of U.S.-based independent oil and gas producers. As a result of the transaction, we issued 40.6 million shares of common stock. We also assumed $730.9 million of long-term debt and $492.7 million of other liabilities. The merger increased our proved reserves by 386 MMBoe, or 58%, and our undeveloped leasehold by 16 million acres, or 99%. The merger with Santa Fe Snyder significantly expanded Devon’s operations. However, another significant event contributing to our growth over the last three years was our 1999 acquisition of P e n n z E n e rgy Company (“PennzEnergy”). The acquisition of PennzEnergy added 396 MMBoe of reserves and 13 million net acres of undeveloped leasehold. It also added $3.2 billion of assets to our balance sheet. In exchange, we issued 21.5 million shares of common stock and assumed $1.6 billion of long-term debt and $0.7 billion of other liabilities. The merger was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. Therefore, Devon’s 1999 results do not include any effect of P e n n z E n e rg y ’s operations prior to August 17, 1999. On December 10, 1998, Devon and Northstar Energy Corporation (“Northstar”) merged. The combination of Devon and Northstar added 115 million MMBoe of proved reserves and 1.8 million undeveloped acres, all in Canada. The Northstar combination was accounted for under the pooling-of- interests method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, our results for 1998 and prior years include the results of both Devon and Northstar as if the two had always been combined. In addition to the mergers and acquisitions, Devon’s exploration, drilling and development efforts have also been significant contributors to our growth. In 1998 and 1999, before the merger with Santa Fe Snyder, Devon spent approximately $0.5 billion for exploration, drilling and development. These costs included drilling 1,233 wells, of which 1,137 were completed as producers. In 2000, Devon and Santa Fe Snyder combined spent $0.9 billion for exploration, drilling and development efforts. These costs included drilling 1,328 wells, of which 1,261 were completed as producers. Our merger with Santa Fe Snyder was accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, Devon’s prior years’results have been combined with those of Santa Fe Snyder for all years presented. Thus, the three-year comparisons of production, revenue and expense items beginning on the following page are shown as if Devon and Santa Fe Snyder had been combined for all such periods. Although this is consistent with the financial presentation of the merger, it disguises the substantial changes in Devon’s operations that have occurred as a result of that transaction. To reflect the positive effects of the Santa Fe Snyder and PennzEnergy transactions and our drilling and development activities during the last three years, the following statistics are presented. This data assumes that our merger with Santa Fe Snyder was closed at the beginning of 2000, and that prior year results were not restated. Thus, it compares Devon’s 2000 results, including Santa Fe Snyder, to those of 1998 for Devon only. The data yield the following notable comparisons: • Combined oil, gas and NGL production increased 85.0 million Boe, or 236%. • The average combined price of oil, gas and NGL increased by $11.68 per Boe, or 108%. • Total revenues increased $2.3 billion, or 599%. • Net cash provided by operating activities increased $1.4 billion, or 745%. Cash margin increased $1.6 billion, or 853%. • Net earnings increased $790.6 million. • Earnings per share increased to $5.50 per diluted share from a loss of $1.25 per share in 1998. During 2000, we marked our twelfth anniversary as a public company. While Devon has consistently increased production over this twelve-year period, volatility in oil and gas prices has resulted in considerable variability in earnings and cash flows. Prices for oil, natural gas and NGL are determined primarily by market conditions. Market conditions for these products have been, and will continue to be, influenced by regional and world-wide economic growth, weather and other factors that are beyond our control. Devon’s future earnings and cash flows will continue to depend on market conditions. Because oil and gas prices are influenced by many factors outside our control, Devon’s management has focused its efforts on increasing oil and gas reserves and production and controlling 96 97 98 99 00 3 3 expenses. Over our twelve-year history as a public company, we have been able to significantly reduce our operating costs per unit of production. Future earnings and cash flows are dependent on our ability to continue to contain operating costs at levels that allow for profitable production from our oil and gas properties. Like all oil and gas production companies, Devon faces the challenge of natural production decline. As initial pressures are depleted, oil and gas production from a given well naturally decreases. Thus, an oil and gas production company depletes part of its asset base with each unit of oil or gas it produces. Historically, Devon has been able to overcome this natural decline by adding, through drilling and acquisitions, more reserves than it produces. Future growth, if any, will depend on our ability to continue to add reserves in excess of production. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Our total revenues have risen from $706.2 million in 1998 to $2.8 billion in 2000. In each of these three years, oil, gas and NGL sales accounted for over 96% of total revenues.

Oil revenues increased $326.8 million due to a $7.68 per barrel increase in the average price of oil in 2000. An increase in 2000’s production of 10.8 million barrels caused oil revenues to increase by $190.9 million. The PennzEnergy merger accounted for 6.8 million barrels of the 10.8 million barrel increase in production. The 2000 period included twelve months of production from the properties acquired in the 1999 PennzEnergy merger. The 1999 period included production from these properties for only 4 1/2 months following the August 17, 1999 merger closing. Additionally, drilling activity and smaller acquisitions, offset in part by property dispositions and natural declines, caused a 4.0 million barrel increase in production. 1999 vs. 1998 Oil revenues increased $251.0 million in 1999. Oil revenues increased $176.9 million due to a $5.57 per barrel increase in the average price of oil in 1999. A 6.1 million barrel increase in 1999’s production caused oil revenues to increase by $74.1 million. The August 1999 PennzEnergy merger added 5.3 million barrels of production during the last 4 1/2 months of 1999. The Snyder merger added 1.1 million barrels of production during the last eight months of 1999. These increases were partially offset by a 0.3 million barrel decline in 1999 production from other properties. GAS REVENUES 2000 vs. 1999 Gas revenues increased $857.4 million in 2000. A 121.9 Bcf increase in production in 2000 added $251.7 million of gas revenues compared to 1999. A $1.43 per Mcf increase in the average gas price in 2000 contributed $605.7 million of the increase in gas revenues. The PennzEnergy merger accounted for 89.3 Bcf of the 121.9 Bcf increase in consolidated production. All of the 89.3 Bcf added by the PennzEnergy merger was attributable to domestic properties. Production from Devon’s other domestic properties increased 44.7 Bcf, due primarily to additional development and acquisitions, net of natural declines and dispositions. Canadian gas production decreased 11.3 Bcf, or 15%, in 2000. Natural decline, increased royalty rates and dispositions of certain properties were the primary reasons for the production decline. While, domestic royalty rates are fixed percentages, Canadian royalties are based on a sliding scale. As prices increased in 2000, the Canadian government’s royalty percentage also increased. This caused Devon’s net production to decrease. Gross Canadian gas production, before royalties, was 83.4 Bcf in 2000 compared to 92.1 Bcf in 1999. 1999 vs. 1998 Gas revenues increased $280.6 million in 1999. A 106.2 Bcf increase in production in 1999 added $186.1 million of gas revenues compared to 1998. A $0.31 per Mcf increase in the average gas price in 1999 contributed $94.5 million of the increase in gas revenues. The production increase was primarily related to the PennzEnergy and Snyder mergers. The PennzEnergy properties added 55.5 Bcf of production during the 4 1/2 months following the PennzEnergy merger. The Snyder properties added 36.9 Bcf of production during the last eight months following the May 1999 Snyder merger. A 6.4 Bcf increase in Devon’s Canadian gas production also contributed to the increase in 1999 gas production. NGL REVENUES 2000 vs. 1999 NGL revenues increased $86.5 million in 2000. An increase in 2000’s average price of $7.57 per barrel caused NGL revenues to increase $56.0 million. A production increase of 2.3 million barrels in 2000 caused revenues to increase $30.5 million. The 1999 PennzEnergy merger accounted for 2.5 million barrels of increased NGLproduction in 2000. This increase was partially offset by a 0.2 million barrel reduction in 2000 production from Devon’s other properties. This reduction was caused by property dispositions and natural decline, offset in part by drilling activity and property acquisitions. 1999 vs. 1998 NGL revenues increased $43.3 million in 1999. An increase in 1999’s average price of $5.21 per barrel caused NGL revenues to increase $26.6 million. A production increase of 2.1 million barrels in 1999 caused revenues to increase $16.7 million. Production from the PennzEnergy properties for the last 4 1/2 months of 1999 accounted for 1.7 million barrels of the 1999 increase. OTHER REVENUES 2000 vs. 1999 Other revenues increased $45.1 million, or 219% in 2000. Increases in third party gas processing income and interest income were the primary reasons. Additionally, the 2000 period included $18.4 million of dividend income. This resulted from 7.1 million shares of Chevron Corporation common stock acquired by Devon in the 1999 PennzEnergy merger. The 1999 period included $6.7 million of dividend income on these same shares. 1999 vs. 1998 Other revenues decreased $3.7 million in 1999. Other revenues in 1998 included $8.8 million of one-time revenues recognized by Northstar in 1998 from terminations of certain management agreements and gas contracts. Other revenues in 1998 also included $4.7 million of interest income from federal income tax audits recognized by Santa Fe Snyder. In comparing 1999 to 1998, these nonrecurring 1998 revenues more than offset increases of $9.8 million in 1999 from other sources of revenues. These other sources included dividend income, interest income and third-party gas processing revenues. Other revenues in 1999 included $6.7 million of dividend income in the last 4 1/2 months of the year from the shares of Chevron Corporation common stock. 3 6 EXPENSES The details of the changes in pre-tax expenses between 1998 and 2000 are shown in the table below.

TOTAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, Absolute: Recurring lease operating expenses Well workover expenses Transportation costs Production taxes Total production and operating expenses Per Boe Recurring lease operating expenses Well workover expenses Transportation costs Production taxes Total production and operating expenses 2000 2000 vs 1999 1999 1999 vs 1998 1998 (ABSOLUTE AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS) $ $ $ $ 422,853 17,927 53,309 103,244 597,333 3.50 0.15 0.44 0.85 4.94 +45% +131% +57% +131% +58% +5% +67% +13% +67% +15% 291,037 7,770 33,925 44,740 377,472 3.32 0.09 0.39 0.51 4.31 +33% +7% +46% +80% +37% -7% -18% +3% +28% -3% 219,316 7,245 23,186 24,871 274,618 3.56 0.11 0.38 0.40 4.45 2000 vs. 1999 Recurring lease operating expenses increased $131.8 million, or 45%, in 2000. The 1999 PennzEnergy merger accounted for $92.4 million of the increase in expenses. Additionally, $11.0 million of costs were added by the August 1999 and January 2000 acquisitions of certain properties and $7.7 million of costs were added by the Snyder merger. Other than the added costs from these acquisitions, Devon’s recurring costs increased $20.7 million in 2000. This increase was primarily caused by increased production and higher ad valorem taxes and fuel costs. Transportation costs represent those costs paid directly to third-party providers to transport oil and gas production sold downstream from the wellhead. Transportation costs increased $19.4 million, or 57% in 2000 primarily due to increased production. The majority of Devon’s production taxes are assessed on our onshore domestic properties. In the U.S., most of the production taxes are based on a fixed percentage of revenues. Therefore, the 143% increase in domestic oil, gas and NGL revenues was the primary cause of a 136% increase in domestic production taxes. Production taxes did not increase proportionately to the increase in revenues. This was primarily due to the addition in 1999 of oil and gas revenues from offshore Gulf of Mexico properties acquired in the PennzEnergy merger. Revenues generated from federal offshore properties do not incur state production taxes. 1999 vs. 1998 Recurring lease operating expenses increased $71.7 million, or 33%, in 1999. The PennzEnergy properties added $57.3 million of expenses in the last 4 1/2 months of the year. The Snyder properties added $17.7 million of expenses for the last eight months of the year. Other than the added costs from the PennzEnergy and Snyder properties, recurring expenses on Devon’s other properties dropped $3.3 million in 1999. Efficiencies achieved in certain of Devon’s oil producing properties contributed a substantial portion of this cost reduction. Transportation costs increased $10.7 million, or 46%, in 1999. This was primarily due to increased production. As previously stated, most of the U.S. production taxes are based on a fixed percentage of revenues. Therefore, the 114% increase in domestic oil, gas and NGL revenues was the primary cause of a 88% increase in domestic production taxes. DEPRECIATION, DEPLETION AND AMORTIZATION (“DD&A”) Our largest recurring non-cash expense is DD&A. DD&A of oil and gas properties is calculated as the percentage of total proved reserve volumes produced during the year, multiplied by the net capitalized investment in those reserves including estimated future development costs (the “depletable base”). Generally, if reserve volumes are revised up or down, then the DD&Arate per unit of production will change inversely. However, if the depletable base changes, then the DD&A rate moves in the same direction. The per unit DD&Arate is not affected by production volumes. Absolute or total DD&A, as opposed to the rate per unit of production, generally moves in the same direction as production volumes. Oil and gas property DD&Ais calculated separately on a country-by-country basis. 2000 vs. 1999 Oil and gas property related DD&Aincreased $272.8 million, or 70%, in 2000. A 38%, increase in total oil, gas and NGL production caused $148.9 million of the increase in DD&A expense. The remaining $123.9 million of oil and gas property related DD&Aexpense increase resulted from a rate increase. Devon’s consolidated DD&A rate increased from $4.46 per Boe in 1999 to $5.48 per Boe in 2000. 3 8 Non-oil and gas property DD&A increased $14.2 million in 2000 compared to 1999. Depreciation of non-oil and gas properties acquired in the PennzEnergy and Snyder mergers and of our new gas pipeline and gathering system in Wyoming accounted for the increase. 1999 vs. 1998 Oil and gas property related DD&Aincreased $159.7 million, or 69%, in 1999. Oil and gas property related DD&A increased $96.7 million due to the 42% increase in oil, gas and NGLproduction in 1999. Oil and gas property related DD&A increased $63.0 million due to an increase in the consolidated DD&Arate. The consolidated DD&A rate increased from $3.74 per Boe in 1998 to $4.46 per Boe in 1999. The 1999 rate of $4.46 per Boe was a blended rate of before and after the PennzEnergy and Snyder mergers. Non-oil and gas property DD&A increased $3.5 million in 1999 compared to 1998. Depreciation of non-oil and gas properties acquired in the PennzEnergy and Snyder mergers and of the Wyoming gas pipeline and gathering system accounted for the increase in 1999’s expense. AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL In connection with the PennzEnergy merger, we recorded $346.9 million of goodwill. The goodwill was allocated $299.5 million to domestic operations and $47.4 million to international operations. The goodwill is being amortized using the units-of-production method. Substantially all of the $41.3 million and $16.1 million of amortization recognized in 2000 and 1999, respectively, was related to the domestic balance. GENERALAND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES (“G&A”) Our net G&Aconsists of three primary components. The largest of these components is the gross amount of expenses incurred for personnel costs, office expenses, professional fees and other G&Aitems. The gross amount of these expenses is partially reduced by two offsetting components. One is the amount of G&A capitalized pursuant to the full cost method of accounting. The other is the amount of G&Areimbursed by working interest owners of properties for which Devon serves as the operator. These reimbursements are received during both the drilling and operational stages of a property’s life. The gross amount of G&A incurred, less the amounts capitalized and reimbursed, is recorded as net G&Ain the consolidated statements of operations. See the following table for a summary of G&Aexpenses by component. TOTAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, Gross G&A Capitalized G&A Reimbursed G&A Net G&A 2000 2000 vs 1999 1999 ( IN THOUSANDS) 1999 vs 1998 1998 $ $ 205,693 (61,764) (50,921) 93,008 +37% +114% +24% +15% 150,441 (28,878) (40,918) 80,645 +57% +95% +16% +77% 95,589 (14,812) (35,323) 45,454 2000 vs. 1999 Net G&A increased $12.4 million in 2000. Gross G&Aincreased $55.3 million in 2000 compared to 1999. The increase in gross expenses was primarily related to additional costs incurred as a result of the 1999 PennzEnergy and Snyder mergers. G&A was reduced $32.9 million in 2000 due to an increase in the amount capitalized as part of oil and gas properties. G&A was also reduced $10.0 million in 2000 by an increase in the amount of reimbursements on operated properties. The increase in capitalized and reimbursed G&Awas primarily related to the 1999 PennzEnergy and Snyder mergers. 1999 vs. 1998 Net G&A increased $35.2 million in 1999. Gross G&Aincreased $54.9 million in 1999. Included in the increase in gross expenses were $36.7 million of expenses related to 4 1/2 months of the PennzEnergy operations. G&A was lowered $14.1 million due to an increase in the amount capitalized as part of oil and gas properties. The 1999 amount capitalized included $5.5 million related to the PennzEnergy operations for the last 4 1/2 months of the year. G&A was also reduced by a $5.6 million increase in the amount of reimbursements on operated properties. The 1999 reimbursements received from the PennzEnergy properties were $6.0 million. EXPENSES RELATED TO MERGERS Approximately $60.4 million of expenses were incurred in 2000 in connection with the Santa Fe Snyder merger. These expenses consisted primarily of severance and other benefit costs, investment banking fees, other professional expenses, costs associated with duplicate facilities and various transaction related costs. The pooling-of- interests method of accounting for business combinations requires such costs to be expensed and not capitalized as costs of the transaction. 3 9 Approximately $16.8 million of expenses were incurred by Santa Fe Snyder in 1999 related to the Snyder merger. These costs included $14.4 million related to compensation plans and other benefits, and $1.9 million of severance and relocation costs. The $16.8 million of costs related to the operations and employees of the former Santa Fe Energy Resources, Inc., not those of the former Snyder Oil Corporation. Therefore, the costs were required to be expensed as opposed to capitalized as part of the Snyder merger. Approximately $13.1 million of expenses were incurred in 1998 in connection with the Northstar combination. These expenses consisted primarily of investment bankers’fees, legal fees and costs of printing and distributing the proxy statement to shareholders. INTEREST EXPENSE 2000 vs. 1999 Interest expense increased $44.7 million, or 41%, in 2000. An increase in the average debt balance outstanding from $1.5 billion in 1999 to $2.3 billion in 2000 caused interest expense to increase by $53.7 million. The increase in average debt outstanding in 2000 was attributable to the long-term debt assumed in the Snyder and PennzEnergy mergers. The average interest rate on outstanding debt decreased from 7.0% in 1999 to 6.7% in 2000. This rate decrease caused interest expense to decrease $4.7 million in 2000. Other items are included in interest expense that are not related to the debt balance outstanding. These items, such as facility and agency fees, amortization of costs and other miscellaneous items, were $4.3 million lower in 2000 compared to 1999. 1999 vs. 1998 Interest expense increased $66.1 million in 1999. An increase in the average debt balance outstanding from $588.3 million in 1998 to $1.5 billion in 1999 caused interest expense to increase by $69.9 million. The increase in average debt outstanding in 1999 was attributable to the long-term debt assumed in the Snyder and PennzEnergy mergers. The average interest rate on outstanding debt decreased from 7.3% in 1998 to 7.0% in 1999. This rate decrease caused interest expense to decrease $4.9 million in 1999. Other items are included in interest expense that are not related to the debt balance outstanding. These items, such as facility and agency fees, amortization of costs and other miscellaneous items, were $1.1 million higher in 1999 compared to 1998. DEFERRED EFFECT OF CHANGES IN FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE ON SUBSIDIARY’S LONG- TERM DEBT 2000 vs. 1999 Until mid-January 2000, Devon’s Canadian subsidiary, Northstar, had certain fixed-rate senior notes which were denominated in U.S. dollars. Changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar while the notes were outstanding increased or decreased the expected amount of Canadian dollars eventually required to repay the notes. Such changes in the Canadian dollar equivalent balance of the debt were required to be included in determining net earnings for the period in which the exchange rate changed. In mid-January 2000, the U.S. dollar denominated notes were retired prior to maturity. The Canadian-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate dropped slightly in January prior to the debt retirement. As a result, $2.4 million of expense was recognized in 2000. 1999 vs. 1998 The rate of converting Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars increased from $0.6535 at the end of 1998 to $0.6929 at the end of 1999. The balance of Northstar’s U.S. dollar denominated notes remained constant at $225 million throughout 1999. The higher conversion rate on the debt reduced the Canadian dollar equivalent of debt recorded by Northstar at the end of 1999. Therefore, a $13.2 million reduction to expenses was recorded in 1999. DISTRIBUTIONS ON PREFERRED SECURITIES OF SUBSIDIARY TRUST As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, Devon, through its affiliate Devon Financing Trust, completed the issuance of $149.5 million of 6.5% Tr u s t Convertible Preferred Securities (“TCP Securities”) in July 1996. The T C P Securities had a maturity date of June 15, 2026. H o w e v e r, in October 1999, Devon issued notice to the holders of the T C P Securities that it was exercising its right to redeem such securities on November 30, 1999. Substantially all of the holders of the T C P Securities elected to exercise their conversion rights instead of receiving the redemption cash value. As a result, all but 950 of the 2.99 million units of T C P Securities were exchanged for shares of Devon common stock. A c c o r d i n g l y, we issued 4.9 million shares of common stock for substantially all of the outstanding units of T C P Securities. The redemption price for the 950 units redeemed was approximately $50,000. 2000 vs. 1999 There were no TCP Securities distributions in 2000 compared to $6.9 million in 1999. Substantially all of the TCP Securities were exchanged for shares of Devon common stock on November 30, 1999. 1999 vs. 1998 The TCP Securities distributions in 1999 were $6.9 million compared to $9.7 million in 1998. Substantially all of the TCP Securities were exchanged for shares of Devon common stock on November 30, 1999. Therefore, there was no fourth quarter 1999 distribution on the exchanged TCPSecurities. 4 0 REDUCTION OF CARRYING VALUE OF OILAND GAS PROPERTIES Under the full-cost method of accounting, the net book value of oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed a calculated “ceiling.” The ceiling limitation is the discounted estimated after-tax future net revenues from proved oil and gas properties. The ceiling is imposed separately by country. In calculating future net revenues, current prices and costs are generally held constant indefinitely. The net book value, less deferred tax liabilities, is compared to the ceiling on a quarterly and annual basis. Any excess of the net book value, less deferred taxes, is written off as an expense. We did not reduce the carrying value of our oil and gas properties in 2000. During 1999 and 1998, we reduced the carrying value of our oil and gas properties by $476.1 million and $422.5 million, respectively, due to the full-cost ceiling limitations. The after-tax effect of these reductions in 1999 and 1998 were $309.7 million and $280.8 million, respectively. INCOME TAXES 2000 vs. 1999 Our 2000 financial tax expense rate was 36% of income before income tax expense. This rate was higher than the statutory federal tax rate of 35%. This was due to the effect of goodwill amortization that is not deductible for income tax purposes and the effect of foreign income taxes. The higher rate was offset in part by the recognition of a benefit from the disposition of Devon’s assets in Venezuela. The 1999 financial tax benefit rate was 25%. This rate was lower than the statutory federal tax rate of 35%. This was due to the effect of goodwill amortization that is not deductible for income tax purposes and the effect of foreign income taxes. 1999 vs. 1998 Devon’s 1999 financial tax benefit rate was 25% of loss before income tax benefit. This rate was lower than the statutory federal tax rate of 35% due to the effect of goodwill amortization that is not deductible for income tax purposes and the effect of foreign income taxes. The 1998 financial tax benefit rate was 35%. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY The following discussion of capital expenditures, capital resources and liquidity should be read in conjunction with the supplemental consolidated statements of cash flows included elsewhere in this report. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES Approximately $1.3 billion was spent in 2000 for capital expenditures. This amount included $1.2 billion related to the acquisition, drilling or development of oil and gas properties. These amounts compare to 1999 total expenditures of $883.4 million, $784.9 million of which was related to oil and gas properties. In 1998, total expenditures were $712.8 million, $704.6 million of which was related to oil and gas properties. OTHER CASH USES Devon’s common stock dividends were $22.2 million, $12.7 million and $7.3 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. We also paid $9.7 million of preferred stock dividends in 2000 and $3.7 million in the last 4 1/2 months of 1999 following the PennzEnergy merger. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY Net cash provided by operating activities (“operating cash flow”) has historically been the primary source of Devon’s capital and short-term liquidity. Operating cash flow was $1.6 billion, $532.3 million and $334.5 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The trends in operating cash flow during these periods have generally followed those of the various revenue and expense items previously discussed. In addition to operating cash flow, our credit lines and the private placement of long-term debt have been an important source of capital and liquidity. In 2000 and 1999, debt repayments exceeded borrowings by $371.6 million and $144.7 million, respectively. During 1998, long-term debt borrowings exceeded repayments by $264.2 million. Prior to the August 2000 merger, Devon and Santa Fe Snyder each had their own unsecured credit facilities. Devon’s credit facilities prior to the merger aggregated $750 million, with $475 million in a U.S. facility and $275 million in a Canadian facility. These Devon credit facilities were entered into in October 1999. Santa Fe Snyder’s credit facilities prior to the merger aggregated $600 million. Concurrent with the closing of the Santa Fe Snyder merger on August 29, 2000, Devon entered into new unsecured long- term credit facilities aggregating $1 billion (the “Credit Facilities”). The Credit Facilities replaced the prior separate facilities of Devon and Santa Fe Snyder. The Credit Facilities include a U.S. facility of $725 million (the “U.S. Facility”) and a Canadian facility of $275 million (the “Canadian Facility”). The $725 million U.S. Facility consists of a Tranche A facility of $200 million and a Tranche B facility of $525 million. T h e Tranche B facility can be increased to as high as $625 million and reduced to as low as $425 million by reallocating the amount available between the Tranche B facility and the Canadian Facility. The Tranche A facility matures on October 15, 2004. We may borrow funds under the Tranche B facility until August 28, 2001 (the “Tranche B Revolving Period”). We may request that the Tranche B Revolving Period be extended an additional 364 days by notifying the agent bank of such request between 30 and 60 4 1 days prior to the end of the Tranche B Revolving Period. Debt borrowed under the Tranche B facility matures two years and one day following the end of the Tranche B Revolving Period. As of December 31, 2000, we had no borrowings under the U.S. Facility. We may borrow funds under the $275 million Canadian Facility until August 28, 2001 (the “Canadian Facility Revolving Period”). As disclosed in the prior paragraph, the Canadian Facility can be increased to as high as $375 million and reduced to as low as $175 million by reallocating the amount available between the Tranche B facility and the Canadian Facility. Devon may request that the Canadian Facility Revolving Period be extended an additional 364 days. This requires notifying the agent bank of such request between 45 and 90 days prior to the end of the Canadian Facility Revolving Period. Debt outstanding as of the end of the Canadian Facility Revolving Period is payable in semi-annual installments of 2.5% each for the following five years. The final installment is due five years and one day following the end of the Canadian Facility Revolving Period. As of December 31, 2000, we had $146.7 million borrowed under the Canadian Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 6.1%. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facilities bear interest at various fixed rate options that we may elect for periods up to six months. Such rates are generally less than the prime rate, and are tied to margins determined by our corporate credit ratings. Devon may also elect to borrow at the prime rate. The Credit Facilities provide for an annual facility fee of $0.9 million that is payable quarterly. On August 29, 2000, we entered into a commercial paper program. Total borrowings under the U.S. credit facility and the commercial paper program may not exceed $725 million. The commercial paper borrowings may have terms of up to 365 days and bear interest at rates agreed to at the time of the borrowing. The interest rate will be based on a standard index such as the Federal Funds Rate, London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), or the money market rate as found on the commercial paper market. As of December 31, 2000, we had no borrowings under the commercial paper program. In June 2000, Devon privately sold zero coupon convertible senior debentures. The convertible debentures were sold at a price of $464.13 per debenture. This resulted in a yield to maturity of 3.875% per annum. Each of the 760,000 debentures is convertible into 5.7593 shares of Devon common stock. We may call the debentures at any time after five years, and a debenture holder has the right to require us to repurchase the debentures after 5, 10 and 15 years. Repurchases would be at the issue price plus accrued original issue discount and interest. The proceeds to Devon were approximately $346.1 million, net of debt issuance costs of approximately $6.6 million. We used the proceeds from the sale of these convertible debentures to pay down other domestic long-term debt. Another significant source of liquidity in 1999 was the $402 million received from the sale of approximately 10.3 million shares of Devon’s common stock in a public offering. The proceeds were primarily used to retire $350 million of long-term debt in the fourth quarter of 1999. The retired debt, which we assumed in the PennzEnergy merger, had an average interest rate of 10% per year. Also, Santa Fe Snyder raised $108 million in 1999 from an equity offering of its common stock following its merger with Snyder. 2001 ESTIMATES The forward-looking statements provided in this discussion are based on management’s examination of historical operating trends, the information which was used to prepare the December 31, 2000 reserve reports of independent petroleum engineers and other data in Devon’s possession or available from third parties. We caution that future oil, natural gas and NGL production, revenues and expenses are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties normally incident to the exploration for and development and production and sale of oil and gas. These risks include, but are not limited to, price volatility, inflation, the lack of availability of goods and services, environmental risks, drilling risks, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating future oil and gas production or reserves, and other risks as outlined below. Also, the financial results of Devon’s foreign operations are subject to currency exchange rate risks. Additional risks are discussed below in the context of line items most affected by such risks. SPECIFIC ASSUMPTIONS AND RISKS RELATED TO PRICE AND PRODUCTION ESTIMATES Prices for oil, natural gas and NGL are determined primarily by prevailing market conditions. Market conditions for these products are influenced by regional and world-wide economic growth, weather and other substantially variable factors. These factors are beyond our control and are difficult to predict. In addition to volatility in general, Devon’s oil, gas and NGL prices may vary considerably due to differences between regional markets, transportation availability and demand for different grades of oil, gas and NGL. Over 97% of our revenues are attributable to sales of these three commodities. Consequently, Devon’s financial results and resources are highly influenced by this price volatility. Estimates for Devon’s future production of oil, natural gas and NGL are based on the assumption that market demand and prices for oil and gas will continue at levels that allow for profitable production of these products. There can be no assurance of such stability. Also, Devon’s International production of oil, natural gas and NGLis governed by payout agreements with the governments of the countries in which we operate. If the payout under these agreements is attained earlier than projected, our net production and proved reserves in such areas could be reduced. 4 2 The production, transportation and marketing of oil, natural gas and NGL are complex processes which are subject to disruption due to transportation and processing availability, mechanical failure, human error, meteorological events, including, but not limited to, hurricanes, and numerous other factors. The following forward-looking statements were prepared assuming demand, curtailment, producibility and general market conditions for Devon’s oil, natural gas and NGLduring 2001 will be substantially similar to those of 2000, unless otherwise noted. Given the general limitations expressed herein, Devon’s forward- looking statements for 2001 are set forth below. Unless otherwise noted, all of the following dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars. Those amounts related to Canadian operations have been converted to U.S. dollars using an exchange rate of $0.6695 U.S. dollar to $1.00 Canadian dollar. The actual 2001 exchange rate may vary materially from this estimated rate. Such variations could have a material effect on the following Canadian estimates. GEOGRAPHIC REPORTING AREAS FOR 2001 The following estimates of production, average price differentials and capital expenditures are provided separately for each of Devon’s geographic divisions. These divisions are as follows: • • • • • the Gulf Division, which operates oil and gas properties located primarily in the onshore South Texas and South Louisiana areas and offshore in the Gulf of Mexico; the Rocky Mountain Division, which operates oil and gas properties located in the Rocky Mountains area of the United States stretching from the Canadian border south into northern New Mexico; the Permian/Mid-Continent Division, which operates all properties located in the United States other than those operated by the Gulf Division and the Rocky Mountain Division; Canada; and International Division, which encompasses all oil and gas properties that lie outside of the United States and Canada. YEAR 2001 POTENTIAL OPERATING ITEMS OIL, GAS AND NGL PRODUCTION Set forth in the following paragraphs are individual estimates of Devon’s oil, gas and NGL production in 2001. On a combined basis, Devon estimates its 2001 oil, gas and NGL production will total between 120.4 million and 128.0 million barrels of oil equivalent. Devon’s estimates of 2001 production do not include certain oil, gas and NGL production from various properties that were sold during 2000. These sold properties produced approximately 2.9 million barrels of oil equivalent in 2000 that will not be produced by Devon in 2001. OIL PRODUCTION Devon expects its oil production in 2001 to total between 40.3 million barrels and 42.8 million barrels. The expected ranges of production by division are as follows: Expected Range of Production (MMBbls) Permian/Mid-Continent Gulf Rocky Mountain Canadian International 12.2 to 12.9 10.1 to 10.8 3.0 to 3.2 5.3 to 5.6 9.7 to 10.3 Oil Prices - Fixed We have fixed the price we will receive in 2001 on a portion of our oil production through certain forward oil sales. Devon has executed forward oil sales attributable to the Permian/Mid-Continent Division for 3.7 million barrels at an average price of $16.84 per barrel. These fixed-price volumes represent 9% of our expected consolidated oil production in 2001. Santa Fe Snyder Corporation entered into these forward oil sales agreements in late 1999 and early 2000, and used the proceeds to acquire interests in producing properties in the Gulf of Mexico. Oil Prices - Floating For the oil production for which prices have not been fixed, Devon’s 2001 average prices for each of its divisions are expected to differ from the New York Mercantile Exchange price (“NYMEX”) as set forth in the following table. The NYMEX price is the monthly average of settled prices on each trading day for West Texas Intermediate Crude oil delivered at Cushing, Oklahoma. 4 3 Expected Range of Oil Prices Greater Than (Less Than) NYMEX Permian/Mid-Continent Gulf Rocky Mountain Canadian International ($3.10) to ($2.10) ($2.90) to ($1.90) ($2.50) to ($1.50) ($5.50) to ($4.50) ($3.65) to ($2.65) The above range of expected Canadian differentials compared to NYMEX includes an estimated $0.11 per barrel decrease resulting from foreign currency hedges. These hedges, in which Devon will sell $10 million in 2001 at an average Canadian-to- U.S. exchange rate of $0.7102 and buy the same amount of dollars at the floating exchange rate, offset a portion of the exposure to currency fluctuations on those Canadian oil sales that are based on U.S. prices. The $0.11 per barrel decrease is based on the assumption that the average Canadian-to-U.S. conversion rate for the year 2001 is $0.6695. GAS PRODUCTION Devon expects its 2001 gas production to total between 439 Bcf and 469 Bcf. The expected ranges of production by division are as follows: Expected Range of Production (Bcf) Permian/Mid-Continent Gulf Rocky Mountain Canadian International 114 to 121 144 to 153 115 to 123 62 58 to 10 8 to Gas Prices - Fixed Through various price swaps and fixed-price physical delivery contracts, we have fixed the price we will receive in 2001 on a portion of our natural gas production. The following tables include information on this fixed-price production by division. Where necessary, the prices have been adjusted for certain transportation costs that are netted against the price recorded by Devon, and the price has also been adjusted for the Btu content of the gas production that has been hedged. Division Rocky Mountain Gulf Canada First Half of 2001 Mcf/Day Price/Mcf Second Half of 2001 Mcf/Day Price/Mcf 20,661 - 60,011 $ $ $ 1.90 - 1.53 57,955 40,000 56,888 $ $ $ 3.68 5.45 1.52 Additionally, Devon has entered into a basis swap on 7.3 Bcf of 2001 gas production. Under the terms of the basis swap, the counterparty pays Devon the average NYMEX price for the last three trading days of each month, less $0.30 per Mcf. In return, Devon pays the counterparty the Colorado Interstate Gas Co. (“CIG”) index price published by “Inside F.E.R.C.’s Gas Market Report” (“Inside FERC”). The effect of this swap is included in Rocky Mountain Division gas revenues. This basis swap does not qualify as a hedge under the provisions of SFAS No. 133. Accordingly, fluctuations in the fair value of this basis swap will be recorded in earnings beginning in the first quarter of 2001. Gas Prices - Floating For the natural gas production for which prices have not been fixed, Devon’s 2001 average prices for each of its divisions are expected to differ from NYMEX as set forth in the following table. NYMEX is determined to be the first- of-month South Louisiana Henry Hub price index as published monthly in Inside FERC. Expected Range of Gas Prices Greater Than (Less Than) NYMEX Permian/Mid-Continent Gulf Rocky Mountain Canadian International ($0.40) to $0.10 ($0.15) to $0.35 ($0.90) to ($0.40) ($0.85) to ($0.35) ($2.60) to ($2.10) 4 4 We have also entered into a costless price collar that sets a floor and ceiling price for 20,000 MMBtu/day of Rocky Mountain Division gas production during the second half of 2001. The collar has a floor and ceiling price per MMBtu of $4.10 and $8.00, respectively. The floor and ceiling prices are based on the first-of-the-month CIG price index as published monthly by Inside FERC. If the CIG index is outside of the ranges set by the floor and ceiling prices, Devon and the counterparty to the collar will settle the difference. Any such settlements will either increase or decrease Devon’s gas revenues for the period. Because our gas volumes are often sold at prices that differ from related regional indices, and due to differing Btu content of gas production, the floor and ceiling prices of the collar do not reflect actual limits of Devon’s realized prices for the production volumes related to the collar. NGL PRODUCTION We expect our 2001 production of NGL to total between 6.6 million barrels and 7.3 million barrels. The expected ranges of production by division are as follows: Expected Range of Production (MMBbls) Permian/Mid-Continent Gulf Rocky Mountain Canadian International 4.3 to 4.6 1.0 to 1.1 0.6 to 0.7 0.5 to 0.6 0.2 to 0.3 OTHER REVENUES Devon’s other revenues in 2001 are expected to be between $53 million and $59 million. This estimated range does not include the gain or loss that could be recognized from changes in the fair values of Devon’s derivatives that are not hedges. Substantially all of Devon’s derivatives are hedges, but the gas price basis swap previously discussed and the option embedded in the debentures that are exchangeable into shares of Chevron Corporation common stock are not hedges. Accordingly, the changes in the fair value of these derivatives will be recognized in Devon’s operating results in 2001. PRODUCTION AND OPERATING EXPENSES Devon’s production and operating expenses include lease operating expenses, transportation costs and production taxes. These expenses vary in response to several factors. Among the most significant of these factors are additions to or deletions from Devon’s property base, changes in production tax rates, changes in the general price level of services and materials that are used in the operation of the properties and the amount of repair and workover activity required. Oil, natural gas and NGL prices also have an effect on lease operating expense and impact the economic feasibility of planned workover projects. These factors, coupled with uncertainty of future oil, natural gas and NGL prices, increase the uncertainty inherent in estimating future production and operating costs. Given these uncertainties, Devon estimates that year 2001 lease operating expenses will be between $463 million and $492 million, transportation costs will be between $62 million and $66 million and production taxes will be between 4% and 5% of consolidated oil, natural gas and NGL revenues. DEPRECIATION, DEPLETION AND AMORTIZATION (“DD&A”) The 2001 oil and gas property DD&Arate will depend on various factors. Most notable among such factors are the amount of proved reserves that will be added from drilling or acquisition efforts in 2001 compared to the costs incurred for such efforts. Another factor is revisions to our year-end 2000 reserve estimates that, based on prior experience, are likely to be made during 2001. In addition to oil and gas property related DD&A, we expect 2001 DD&A expense related to non-oil and gas property fixed assets to total between $30 million and $32 million. Based on this range, and the production estimates discussed earlier, we expect our consolidated DD&A rate to total between $6.15 and $6.45 per Boe. Devon also expects to record goodwill amortization in 2001. This amortization is expected to be between $33 million and $35 million. The goodwill was recorded in connection with the 1999 merger with PennzEnergy. GENERALAND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES (“G&A”) G&Aincludes the costs of many different goods and services used in support of our business. These goods and services are subject to general price level increases or decreases. In addition, our G&A varies with our level of activity, related staffing needs and the amount of professional services required during any given period. Should needs or the prices of the required goods and services differ significantly from current expectations, actual G&A could vary materially from the estimate. Given these limitations, consolidated G&Ain 2001 is expected to be between $89 million and $98 million. 4 5 INTEREST EXPENSE Future interest rates and oil, natural gas and NGLprices have a significant effect on Devon’s interest expense. Approximately $1.9 billion of our December 31, 2000, long-term debt balance of $2.0 billion bears interest at fixed rates. Such fixed rates remove the uncertainty of future interest rates from some, but not all, of our long-term debt. Also, we can only marginally influence the prices we will receive in 2001 from sales of oil, natural gas and NGLand the resulting cash flow. These factors increase the margin of error inherent in estimating future interest expense. Other factors which affect interest expense, such as the amount and timing of capital expenditures, are within our control. Given the uncertainty of future interest rates and commodity prices, and assuming that the fixed-rate debt remains in place throughout the year, we estimate that consolidated interest expense in 2001 will be between $143 million and $146 million. Included in this estimate is $12 million of discount accretion on the debentures that are exchangeable into shares of Chevron Corporation common stock. The discount accretion is the result of the adoption of SFAS 133 effective January 1, 2001. REDUCTION OF CARRYING VALUE OF OILAND GAS PROPERTIES As of December 31, 2000, Devon does not expect to record a reduction in 2001 of its carrying value of oil and natural gas properties under the full-cost accounting ceiling test. At this time the ceiling for each full-cost pool exceeds Devon’s carrying value of oil and natural gas properties, less deferred income taxes. However, such excess could be eliminated by declines in oil and/or natural gas prices between now and the end of any quarter during 2001 or in subsequent periods. INCOME TAXES We expect our consolidated financial income tax rate in 2001 to be between 35% and 45%. The current income tax rate is expected to be between 20% and 25%. The deferred income tax rate is expected to be between 15% and 20%. There are certain items that will have a fixed impact on 2001’s income tax expense regardless of the level of pre-tax earnings that are produced. These items include Section 29 tax credits in the U.S. These credits reduce income taxes based on production levels of certain properties and are not necessarily affected by pre-tax financial earnings. The amount of Section 29 tax credits expected to be generated to offset financial income tax expense in 2001 is approximately $20 million. Also, Devon’s Canadian subsidiaries are subject to Canada’s “large corporation tax” of approximately $3 million. This tax is based on total capitalization levels, not pre-tax earnings. The financial income tax in 2000 will also be increased by approximately $14 million due to the financial amortization of certain costs, such as goodwill amortization, that are not deductible for income tax purposes. Significant changes in estimated production levels of oil, gas and NGL, the prices of such products, or any of the various expense items could materially alter the effect of the aforementioned items on 2001’s financial income tax rates. YEAR 2001 POTENTIAL CAPITAL SOURCES, USES AND LIQUIDITY CAPITAL EXPENDITURES Though we have completed several major property acquisitions in recent years, these transactions are opportunity driven. Thus, we do not “budget,” nor can we reasonably predict, the timing or size of such possible acquisitions, if any. Our capital expenditures budget is based on an expected range of future oil, natural gas and NGLprices as well as the expected costs of the capital additions. Should price expectations for our future production change significantly, some projects may be accelerated or deferred and, consequently, may increase or decrease total 2001 capital expenditures. In addition, if the actual costs of the budgeted items vary significantly from the anticipated amounts, actual capital expenditures could vary materially from our estimates. Given the limitations discussed, the company expects its 2001 capital expenditures for drilling and development efforts plus related facilities to total between $1.05 billion and $1.15 billion. These amounts include between $160 million and $180 million for drilling and facilities costs related to reserves classified as proved as of year-end 2000. In addition, these amounts include between $520 million and $560 million for other low risk/reward projects and between $370 million and $410 million for new, higher risk/reward projects. The following table shows expected drilling and facilities expenditures by major operating division. Drilling and Production Facilities Expenditures (millions) Rocky Mountain Division Permian/ Mid-Continent Division Gulf Division Canada Other International Related to Proved Reserves Lower Risk/Reward Projects Higher Risk/Reward Projects Total $45-$55 $45-$55 $20-$30 $110-$140 $70-$80 $90-$100 $40-$50 $200-$230 $0-$10 $185-$215 $110-$130 $295-$355 $10-$20 $40-$50 $105-$125 $155-$195 $20-$30 $140-$170 $80-$100 $240-$300 4 6 In addition to the above expenditures for drilling and development, Devon is participating through a joint venture in the construction of gas transportation and processing systems in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. We expect to spend from $15 million to $20 million as our share of the project in 2001. We also expect to capitalize between $70 million and $80 million of G&A expenses in accordance with the full-cost method of accounting. In addition, we expect to pay between $15 million and $20 million for plugging and abandonment charges in 2001. Finally, we expect to spend between $15 million and $20 million for non- oil and gas property fixed assets. OTHER CASH USES Devon’s management expects the policy of paying a quarterly common stock dividend to continue. With the current $0.05 per share quarterly dividend rate and 129 million shares of common stock outstanding, 2001 dividends are expected to approximate $26 million. In addition, we have $150 million of 6.49% cumulative preferred stock upon which we will pay $9.7 million of dividends in 2001. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY Our estimated 2001 cash uses, including drilling and development activities, are expected to be funded primarily through a combination of working capital and operating cash flow. The remainder, if any, is expected to be funded with borrowings from our Credit Facilities. The amount of operating cash flow to be generated during 2001 is uncertain due to the factors affecting revenues and expenses as previously cited. However, we expect combined capital resources to be more than adequate to fund anticipated capital expenditures and other cash uses for 2001. As of December 31, 2000, we had $853 million available under our $1 billion Credit Facilities. If significant acquisitions or other unplanned capital requirements arise during the year, we could utilize existing Credit Facilities and/or seek to establish and utilize other sources of financing. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOTYET ADOPTED In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”). In June 2000, it issued SFAS 138, which amended certain provisions of SFAS 133. SFAS 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires the recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measurement of those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative (that is gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the derivative and whether it qualifies as a hedge. Devon adopted the provisions of SFAS 133, as amended, in the first quarter of the year ending December 31, 2001. In accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS 133, we recorded a net-of-tax cumulative-effect-type adjustment of $36.6 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss to recognize at fair value all derivatives that are designated as cash-flow hedging financial instruments. Additionally, we recorded a net-of-tax cumulative-effect-type adjustment to net earnings for a $49.5 million gain related to the fair value of financial instruments that do not qualify as hedges. This gain included $46.2 million related to the option embedded in our debentures that are exchangeable into shares of Chevron Corporation common stock. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about Devon’s potential exposure to market risks. The term “market risk” refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in oil and gas prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. This forward-looking information provides indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures. All of our market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes other than trading. COMMODITY PRICE RISK Our major market risk exposure is in the pricing applicable to our oil and gas production. Realized pricing is primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for crude oil and spot market prices applicable to our U.S. and Canadian natural gas production. Pricing for oil and gas production has been volatile and unpredictable for several years. Devon periodically enters into financial hedging activities with respect to a portion of our projected oil and natural gas production through various financial transactions which hedge the future prices received. These transactions include financial price swaps whereby we will receive a fixed price for our production and pay a variable market price to the contract counterparty. These transactions also include costless price collars that set a floor and ceiling price for the hedged production. If the applicable monthly price indices are outside of the ranges set by the floor and ceiling prices in the various collars, Devon and the counterparty to the collars will settle the difference. These financial hedging activities are intended to support oil and natural gas 4 7 prices at targeted levels and to manage our exposure to oil and gas price fluctuations. Realized gains or losses from the settlement of these financial hedging instruments are recognized in oil and gas sales when the associated production occurs. The gains and losses realized as a result of these hedging activities are substantially offset in the cash market when the hedged commodity is delivered. Devon does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. As of year-end 2000, we had certain financial gas price hedging instruments in place. Subsequent to year-end 2000, we entered into additional financial transactions which hedge the future prices to be received for some of our natural gas production in 2001 and 2002. Our total hedged positions as of January 29, 2001, are set forth below for each of our operating divisions. PRICE SWAPS Through various price swaps, we have fixed the price we will receive on a portion of our natural gas production in 2001 and 2002. The following tables include information on this production by division. Where necessary, the prices have been adjusted for certain transportation costs that are netted against the price recorded by Devon, and the price has also been adjusted for the Btu content of the gas production that has been hedged. Division Rocky Mountain Gulf Canada Division Rocky Mountain Gulf Canada First Half of 2001 Mcf/Day Price/Mcf Second Half of 2001 Mcf/Day Price/Mcf 20,661 — 18,953 $ $ $ 1.90 — 1.68 57,955 40,000 17,404 $ $ $ 3.68 5.45 1.67 First Half of 2002 Mcf/Day Price/Mcf Second Half of 2002 Mcf/Day Price/Mcf 26,395 15,000 11,884 $ $ $ 4.06 4.62 1.73 26,395 15,000 6,294 $ $ $ 4.06 4.62 1.83 COSTLESS PRICE COLLARS We have also entered into costless price collars that set a floor and ceiling price for a portion of our 2001 and 2002 natural gas production. The following tables include information on these collars for each division. The floor and ceiling prices related to domestic production are based on various regional first-of-the-month price indices as published monthly by “Inside F.E.R.C.’s Gas Market Report.” The floor and ceiling prices related to Canadian production are based on the AECO index as published by the “Canadian Gas Price Reporter.” If the applicable monthly price indices are outside of the ranges set by the floor and ceiling prices in the various collars, Devon and the counterparty to the collars will settle the difference. Any such settlements will either increase or decrease Devon’s gas revenues for the period. Because our gas volumes are often sold at prices that differ from the related regional indices, and due to differing Btu content of gas production, the floor and ceiling prices of the various collars do not reflect actual limits of Devon’s realized prices for the production volumes related to the collars. Division MMBtu/Day First Half of 2001 Floor Price Per MMBtu Ceiling Price Per MMBtu MMBtu/Day Second Half of 2001 Floor Price Per MMBtu Ceiling Price Per MMBtu Rocky Mountain - El Paso — $ — $ — 20,000 $ 4.10 $ 8.00 Division Rocky Mountain - El Paso Rocky Mountain - CIG Permian/Mid-Continent Gulf Canada MMBtu/Day First Half of 2002 Floor Price Per MMBtu Ceiling Price Per MMBtu MMBtu/Day Second Half of 2002 Floor Price Per MMBtu Ceiling Price Per MMBtu 25,000 80,000 81,800 98,200 18,964 $ 3.25 $ 2.90 $ 3.49 $ 3.49 $ 3.27 $ 7.85 $ 6.75 $ 7.25 $ 7.23 $ 6.54 25,000 80,000 81,800 98,200 18,964 $ 3.25 $ 2.90 $ 3.49 $ 3.49 $ 3.27 $ 7.85 $ 6.75 $ 7.25 $ 7.23 $ 6.54 4 8 BASIS SWAP Devon has entered into a basis swap on 20,000 MMBtu of gas production per day that expires at the end of August 2004. Under the terms of the basis swap, the counterparty pays Devon the average NYMEX price for the last three trading days of each month, less $0.30, per MMBtu. In return, Devon pays the counterparty the CIG index price published by Inside FERC. The effect of this swap is included in Rocky Mountain Division gas revenues. This basis swap does not qualify as a hedge under the provisions of SFAS No. 133. Accordingly, fluctuations in the fair value of this basis swap will be recorded in earnings beginning in the first quarter of 2001. We use a sensitivity analysis technique to evaluate the hypothetical effect that changes in the market value of oil and gas may have on the fair value of our commodity hedging instruments. At January 31, 2001, a 10% increase in the underlying commodities’prices would have reduced the fair value of our commodity hedging instruments by $33.7 million. FIXED-PRICE PHYSICAL DELIVERY CONTRACTS In addition to the commodity hedging instruments described above, Devon also manages its exposure to oil and gas price risks by periodically entering into fixed-price contracts. We have fixed the price we will receive on a portion of its 2001 and 2002 oil production through certain forward oil sales. From January 2001 through August 2002, 311,000 barrels of oil production per month have been fixed at an average price of $16.84 per barrel. These fixed-price barrels are attributable to the Permian/Mid-Continent Division. For the years 2001 and 2002, Devon has fixed-price gas contracts that cover approximately 15 Bcf and 12 Bcf, respectively. For each of the years 2003 through 2006, Devon has fixed price contracts that cover 8 Bcf per year of Canadian production. We also have Canadian gas volumes subject to fixed-price contracts in the years from 2007 through 2016, but the yearly volumes are less than 6 Bcf. INTEREST RATE RISK At December 31, 2000, we had long-term debt outstanding of $2.0 billion. Of this amount, $1.9 billion, or 93%, bears interest at fixed rates averaging 5.8%. The remaining $0.1 billion of debt outstanding at the end of 2000 bears interest at floating rates which averaged 6.1% at the end of 2000. The terms of the Credit Facilities in place allow interest rates to be fixed at our option for periods of between 30 to 180 days. A 10% increase in short-term interest rates on the floating-rate debt outstanding as of December 31, 2000, would equal approximately 61 basis points. Such an increase in interest rates would increase our 2001 interest expense by approximately $0.9 million assuming borrowed amounts remain outstanding. The above sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk excludes accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities because of the short-term maturity of such instruments. FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK Devon’s net assets, net earnings and cash flows from its Canadian subsidiaries are based on the U.S. dollar equivalent of such amounts measured in the applicable functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the Canadian subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate as of the end of a reporting period. Revenues, expenses and cash flow are translated using the average exchange rate during the reporting period. Substantially all of our Canadian oil sales are paid in Canadian dollars, but at amounts based on the U.S. dollar price of oil. Therefore, currency fluctuations between the Canadian and U.S. dollars impact the amount of Canadian dollars received by Devon’s Canadian subsidiaries for their oil production. To mitigate the effect of volatility in the Canadian-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate on Canadian oil revenues, we have existing foreign currency exchange rate swaps. Under such swap agreements, in 2001 we will sell $10 million at an average Canadian-to-U.S. exchange rate of $0.7102 and buy the same amount of dollars at the floating exchange rate. The amount of gains or losses realized from such swaps are included as increases or decreases to realized oil sales. At the year-end 2000 exchange rate, these swaps would result in decreases to 2001’s annual oil sales of approximately $0.6 million. A further $0.03 decrease in the Canadian-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate in 2001 would result in an additional decrease in oil sales of approximately $0.4 million. For purposes of the sensitivity analysis described above for changes in the Canadian dollar exchange rate, a change in the rate of $0.03 was used as opposed to a 10% change in the rate. During the last eight years, the Canadian-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate has fluctuated an average of approximately 4% per year, and no year’s fluctuation was greater than 7%.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT 4 9 Devon Energy Corporation’s management takes responsibility for the accompanying consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. They are based on our best estimate and judgment. Financial information elsewhere in this annual report is consistent with the data presented in these statements. In order to carry out our responsibility concerning the integrity and objectivity of published financial data, we maintain an accounting system and related internal controls. We believe the system is sufficient in all material respects to provide reasonable assurance that financial records are reliable for preparing financial statements and that assets are safeguarded from loss or unauthorized use. Our independent accounting firm, KPMG LLP, provides objective consideration of Devon Energy management’s discharge of its responsibilities as it relates to the fairness of reported operating results and the financial position of the company. This firm obtains and maintains an understanding of our accounting and financial controls to the extent necessary to audit our financial statements, and employs all testing and verification procedures as it considers necessary to arrive at an opinion on the fairness of financial statements. The Board of Directors pursues its responsibilities for the accompanying consolidated financial statements through its Audit Committee. The Committee meets periodically with management and the independent auditors to assure that they are carrying out their responsibilities. The independent auditors have full and free access to the Committee members and meet with them to discuss auditing and financial reporting matters. DEVON ENERGY CORPORAT I O N J. Larry Nichols President & CEO J. Michael Lacey Senior Vice President Duke R. Ligon Senior Vice President Marian J. Moon Senior Vice President John Richels CEO, Northstar Energy Darryl G. Smette Senior Vice President H. Allen Turner Senior Vice President William T. Vaughn Senior Vice President The Board of Directors and Stockholders Devon Energy Corporation: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Devon Energy Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the 1999 and 1998 financial statements of Santa Fe Snyder Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total assets constituting 24% and 38% in 1999 and 1998, respectively, of the related consolidated totals, and which statements reflect total revenues constituting 41% and 43% in 1999 and 1998, respectively, of the related consolidated totals. We did not audit the 1998 financial statements of Northstar Energy Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total assets constituting 20% of the related consolidated 1998 total, and which statements reflect total revenues constituting 22% in 1998 of the related consolidated totals. The 1999 and 1998 financial statements of Santa Fe Snyder Corporation and the 1998 financial statements of Northstar Energy Corporation were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Santa Fe Snyder Corporation in 1999 and 1998, and Northstar Energy Corporation in 1998, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Devon Energy Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1998 1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting policies used by Devon Energy Corporation and subsidiaries (“Devon”) reflect industry practices and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The more significant of such policies are briefly discussed below. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation Devon is engaged primarily in oil and gas exploration, development and production, and the acquisition of producing properties. Such activities domestically are managed in three divisions: • the Gulf Division, which includes properties located primarily in the onshore South Texas and South Louisiana areas and offshore in the Gulf of Mexico; the Rocky Mountain Division, which includes properties located in the Rocky Mountains area of the United States stretching from the Canadian Border into northern New Mexico; and the Permian/Mid-Continent Division, which includes all domestic properties other than those included in the Gulf Division and the Rocky Mountain Division. • • Devon’s Canadian activities are located primarily in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, and Devon’s international activities — outside of North America — are located primarily in Argentina, Azerbaijan, Indonesia and Gabon. Devon’s share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of affiliated partnerships and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Information concerning common stock and per share data assumes the exchange of all Exchangeable Shares issued in connection with the Northstar combination described in Note 2. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. Inventories Inventories, which consist primarily of injected gas and tubular goods, parts and supplies, are stated at cost, determined principally by the average cost method, which is not in excess of net realizable value. Property and Equipment Devon follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs incidental to the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties, including costs of undeveloped leasehold, dry holes and leasehold equipment, are capitalized. Net capitalized costs are limited to the estimated future net revenues, discounted at 10% per annum, from proved oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids reserves. Such limitations are imposed separately on a country-by- country basis. Capitalized costs are depleted by an equivalent unit-of-production method, converting gas to oil at the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. No gain or loss is recognized upon disposal of oil and gas properties unless such disposal significantly alters the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. Depreciation and amortization of other property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are provided using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives from 3 to 39 years. Marketable Securities and Other Investments Devon accounts for certain investments in debt and equity securities by following the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” This standard requires that, except for debt securities classified as “held-to-maturity,” investments in debt and equity securities must be reported at fair value. As a result, Devon’s investment in Chevron Corporation common stock, which is classified as “available for sale,” is reported at fair value, with the tax effected unrealized gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive loss and reported as a separate component of stockholders’equity. Devon’s investments in other short-term securities are also classified as “available for sale.” 5 5 Goodwill Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, is amortized by an equivalent unit-of-production method. Devon assesses the recoverability of this intangible asset by determining whether the amortization of the goodwill balance over its remaining life can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows of the acquired properties. The amount of goodwill impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted future operating cash flows using a discount rate reflecting Devon’s average cost of funds. The assessment of the recoverability of goodwill will be impacted if estimated future operating cash flows are not achieved. Accumulated goodwill amortization was $57.4 million and $16.1 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Revenue Recognition and Gas Balancing Oil and gas revenues are recognized when sold. During the course of normal operations, Devon and other joint interest owners of natural gas reservoirs will take more or less than their respective ownership share of the natural gas volumes produced. These volumetric imbalances are monitored over the lives of the wells’production capability. If an imbalance exists at the time the wells’ reserves are depleted, cash settlements are made among the joint interest owners under a variety of arrangements. Devon follows the sales method of accounting for gas imbalances. A liability is recorded when Devon’s excess takes of natural gas volumes exceed its estimated remaining recoverable reserves. No receivables are recorded for those wells where Devon has taken less than its ownership share of gas production. Hedging Activities Devon has periodically entered into oil and gas financial instruments and foreign exchange rate swaps to manage its exposure to oil and gas price volatility. The foreign exchange rate swaps mitigate the effect of volatility in the Canadian-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate on Canadian oil revenues that are predominantly based on U.S. dollar prices. The hedging instruments are usually placed with counterparties that Devon believes are minimal credit risks. The oil and gas reference prices upon which the price hedging instruments are based reflect various market indices that have a high degree of historical correlation with actual prices received by Devon. Devon accounts for its hedging instruments using the deferral method of accounting. Under this method, realized gains and losses from Devon’s price risk management activities are recognized in oil and gas revenues when the associated production occurs and the resulting cash flows are reported as cash flows from operating activities. Gains and losses on hedging contracts that are closed before the hedged production occurs are deferred until the production month originally hedged. In the event of a loss of correlation between changes in oil and gas reference prices under a hedging instrument and actual oil and gas prices, a gain or loss is recognized currently to the extent the hedging instrument has not offset changes in actual oil and gas prices. Devon adopted the provisions of SFAS 133, as amended, in the first quarter of the year ending December 31, 2001. In accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS 133, Devon recorded a net-of-tax cumulative-effect-type adjustment of $36.6 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss to recognize at fair value all derivatives that are designated as cash-flow hedging financial instruments. Additionally, Devon recorded a net-of-tax cumulative-effect-type adjustment to net earnings for a $49.5 million gain related to the fair value of financial instruments that do not qualify as hedges. This gain included $46.2 million related to the option embedded in Devon’s debentures that are exchangeable into shares of Chevron Corporation common stock. Stock Options Devon applies the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, in accounting for its fixed plan stock options. As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As allowed by SFAS No. 123, Devon has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 which are included in Note 10. Major Purchasers In 2000, Enron Capital and Trade Resource Corporation accounted for 20% of Devon’s combined oil, gas and natural gas liquids sales. In 1998, Aquila Energy Marketing Corporation accounted for 11% of Devon’s combined oil, gas and natural gas liquids sales. No purchaser accounted for over 10% of such revenues in 1999. 5 6 Income Taxes Devon accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as the future tax consequences attributable to the future utilization of existing tax net operating loss and other types of carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. U.S. deferred income taxes have not been provided on Canadian earnings which are being permanently reinvested. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses are reported net of amounts allocated to working interest owners of the oil and gas properties operated by Devon and net of amounts capitalized pursuant to the full cost method of accounting. Net Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if Devon’s dilutive outstanding stock options were exercised (calculated using the treasury stock method) and if Devon’s zero- coupon convertible senior debentures were converted to common stock. The following table reconciles the net earnings and common shares outstanding used in the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share for 2000. The diluted loss per share calculations for 1999 and 1998 produce results that are anti-dilutive. (The diluted calculation for 1999 reduced the net loss by $4.3 million and increased the common shares outstanding by 5.7 million shares. The diluted calculation for 1998 reduced the net loss by $6.0 million and increased the common shares outstanding by 6.0 million shares.) Therefore, the diluted loss per share amounts for 1999 and 1998 reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations are the same as the basic loss per share amounts. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000: Basic earnings per share Dilutive effect of: Potential common shares issuable upon conversion of senior convertible debentures (the increase in net earnings is net of income tax expense of $2,755,000) Potential common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options NET EARNINGS APPLICABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS WEIGHTED AVERAGE COMMON SHARES OUTSTANDING (IN THOUSANDS) NET EARNINGS PER SHARE $ 720,607 127,421 $ 5.66 4,309 2,248 — 2,061 Diluted earnings per share $ 724,916 131,730 $ 5.50 Options to purchase approximately 1.0 million shares of Devon’s common stock with exercise prices ranging from $55.54 per share to $89.66 per share (with a weighted average price of $66.64 per share) were outstanding at December 31, 2000, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for 2000 because the options’exercise price exceeded the average market price of Devon’s common stock during the year. The excluded options for 2000 expire between February 12, 2001 and June 1, 2010. All options were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations for 1999 and 1998. Comprehensive Loss Devon’s comprehensive income information is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. A summary of accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, and changes during each of the years then ended, is presented in the following table. 5 7 Balance as of December 31, 1997 1998 activity Deferred taxes 1998 activity, net of deferred taxes Balance as of December 31, 1998 1999 activity Deferred taxes 1999 activity, net of deferred taxes Balance as of December 31, 1999 2000 activity Deferred taxes 2000 activity, net of deferred taxes FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION ADJUSTMENTS MINIMUM PENSION LIABILITY ADJUSTMENTS UNREALIZED LOSSES ON MARKETABLE SECURITIES (IN THOUSANDS) $ (27,113) (8,130) — (8,130) (35,243) 7,517 — 7,517 (27,726) (10,213) — (10,213) — (1,179) 460 (719) (719) (394) 153 (241) (960) 1,346 (524) 822 — — — — — (59,959) 23,403 (36,556) (36,556) (17,608) 6,844 (10,764) TOTAL (27,113) (9,309) 460 (8,849) (35,962) (52,836) 23,556 (29,280) (65,242) (26,475) 6,320 (20,155) Balance as of December 31, 2000 $ (37,939) (138) (47,320) (85,397) Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments The assets and liabilities of certain foreign subsidiaries are prepared in their respective local currencies and translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates, while income and expenses are translated at average rates for the periods presented. Translation adjustments have no effect on net income and are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Dividends Dividends on Devon’s common stock were paid in 2000, 1999 and 1998 at a per share rate of $0.05 per quarter. As adjusted for the pooling-of-interests method of accounting followed for the Santa Fe Snyder merger and the Northstar combination, annual dividends per share for 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $0.17, $0.14 and $0.10, respectively. Statements of Cash Flows For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, Devon considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Commitments and Contingencies Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation or other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Liabilities for these expenditures are recorded when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Reference is made to Note 13 for a discussion of amounts recorded for these liabilities. Reclassification Certain of the 1999 and 1998 amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation. 5 8 2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND PRO FORMA INFORMATION Santa Fe Snyder Merger Devon closed its merger with Santa Fe Snyder Corporation (“Santa Fe Snyder”) on August 29, 2000. The merger was accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, all operational and financial information contained herein includes the combined amounts for Devon and Santa Fe Snyder for all periods presented. Devon issued approximately 40.6 million shares of its common stock to the former stockholders of Santa Fe Snyder based on an exchange ratio of 0.22 shares of Devon common stock for each share of Santa Fe Snyder common stock. Because the merger was accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method, all combined share information has been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio. During 2000, Devon recorded a pre-tax charge of $60.4 million ($37.2 million net of tax) for direct costs related to the Santa Fe Snyder merger. PennzEnergy Merger Devon closed its merger with PennzEnergy Company (“PennzEnergy”) on August 17, 1999. The merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the accompanying statement of operations for 1999 includes the effects of PennzEnergy operations since August 17, 1999. Devon issued approximately 21.5 million shares of its common stock to the former stockholders of PennzEnergy. In addition, Devon assumed long-term debt and other obligations totaling approximately $2.3 billion on August 17, 1999. The calculation of the total purchase price and the allocation to assets and liabilities as of August 17, 1999, are shown below. Devon has sold certain of the assets acquired. Generally, the proceeds from such sales reduced the carrying value of oil and gas properties. (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPTSHARE PRICE) Calculation and allocation of purchase price: Shares of Devon common stock issued to PennzEnergy stockholders Average Devon stock price Fair value of common stock issued Plus preferred stock assumed by Devon Plus estimated merger costs incurred Plus fair value of PennzEnergy employee stock options assumed by Devon Less stock registration and issuance costs incurred Total purchase price Plus fair value of liabilities assumed by Devon: Current liabilities Debentures exchangeable into Chevron Corporation common stock Other long-term debt Other long-term liabilities Less fair value of non oil and gas assets acquired by Devon: Current assets Non oil and gas properties Investment in common stock of Chevron Corporation Other assets $ $ 21,501 33.40 718,177 150,000 71,545 18,295 (4,985) 953,032 200,708 760,313 838,792 158,988 2,911,833 109,769 31,412 676,441 81,945 Fair value allocated to oil and gas properties, including $83.3 million of undeveloped leasehold $ 2,012,266 5 9 Additionally, $346.9 million was added as goodwill for deferred taxes created as a result of the merger. Due to the tax-free nature of the merger, Devon’s tax basis in the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are the same as PennzEnergy’s tax basis. The $346.9 million of deferred taxes recorded represent the deferred tax effect of the differences between the fair values assigned by Devon for financial reporting purposes to the former PennzEnergy assets and liabilities and their bases for income tax purposes. Estimated proved reserves added in the PennzEnergy merger were 232.7 million barrels of oil, 782.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas and 32.7 million barrels of natural gas liquids. Also, added in the PennzEnergy merger were approximately 13 million net acres of undeveloped leasehold. (The quantities of proved reserves stated in this paragraph are unaudited.) Snyder Merger Santa Fe Snyder was formed on May 5, 1999, when the former Santa Fe Energy Resources, Inc. (“Santa Fe”) closed its merger with Snyder Oil Corporation (“Snyder”). Because Devon’s merger with Santa Fe Snyder was accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented as though Devon merged with Snyder in May 1999. The Snyder merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the accompanying statement of operations for 1999 includes the effects of Snyder’s operations since May 5, 1999. As restated for the Devon-Santa Fe Snyder pooling, each share of Snyder common stock was exchanged for 0.451 shares of Devon common stock. This resulted in the issuance of approximately 15.1 million shares of Devon stock in the Snyder merger. In addition, the Snyder merger also included the assumption of approximately $219 million of Snyder’s long-term debt as of May 5, 1999. The calculation of the total purchase price and the allocation to assets and liabilities as of May 5, 1999, are as follows. (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPTSHARE PRICE) Calculation and allocation of purchase price: Shares of Santa Fe common stock issued to Snyder stockholders, as adjusted for the Devon-Santa Fe Snyder pooling Average Santa Fe stock price, as adjusted for the Devon-Santa Fe Snyder pooling Fair value of common stock issued Plus estimated merger costs incurred $ $ Total purchase price Plus fair value of liabilities assumed: Current liabilities Long-term debt Other long-term liabilities Less fair value of non oil and gas assets acquired: Current assets Other assets 15,130 27.24 412,092 1,485 413,577 55,118 219,001 26,254 713,950 16,755 37,211 Fair value allocated to oil and gas properties, including $14.7 million of undeveloped leasehold $ 659,984 Additionally, $135.4 million was added to oil and gas properties for deferred taxes created as a result of the Snyder merger. Due to the tax-free nature of the merger, Santa Fe’s tax basis in the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were the same as Snyder’s tax basis. The $135.4 million of deferred taxes recorded represent the deferred tax effect of the differences between the fair values assigned by Santa Fe for financial reporting purposes to the former Snyder assets and liabilities and their bases for income tax purposes. Estimated proved reserves added in the Snyder merger were 17.7 million barrels of oil and natural gas liquids and 424 billion cubic feet of natural gas. Also added in the Snyder merger were approximately 800,000 net acres of undeveloped leasehold. (The quantities of proved reserves stated in this paragraph are unaudited.) 6 0 Wascana Properties Transaction On December 23, 1998, Devon acquired certain natural gas properties located in northeastern Alberta, Canada, from Wascana Oil and Gas Partnership, a subsidiary of Canadian Occidental Petroleums Ltd. (the “Wascana Properties”). Devon acquired the properties for approximately $57.5 million, which was funded with bank debt under Devon’s then existing credit facilities. Estimated proved reserves of the Wascana Properties as of December 31, 1998, were 71.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas. Approximately $52.2 million of the purchase price was allocated to the proved reserves. The remaining $5.3 million of the purchase price was allocated to approximately 190,000 net undeveloped acres and exclusive rights to associated seismic data. (The quantities of proved reserves stated in this paragraph are unaudited.) Pro Forma Information (Unaudited) Set forth in the following table is certain unaudited pro forma financial information for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. This information has been prepared assuming the PennzEnergy merger, the Snyder merger and the Wascana Property transaction were consummated on January 1, 1998, and is based on estimates and assumptions deemed appropriate by Devon. The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only. If the transactions had occurred in the past, Devon’s operating results might have been different from those presented in the following table. The pro forma information should not be relied upon as an indication of the operating results that Devon would have achieved if the transactions had occurred on January 1, 1998. The pro forma information also should not be used as an indication of the future results that Devon will achieve after the transactions. The pro forma information includes the effect of Devon’s issuance of 10.3 million shares of common stock as if such shares had been issued on January 1, 1998. (See Note 10 for additional information on this issuance of shares of common stock.) The pro forma information assumes that the approximately $402 million of net proceeds from the issuance of common stock was used to retire long-term debt and therefore reduce interest expense. The following should be considered in connection with the pro forma financial information presented: • Expected annual cost savings of $30 to $35 million related to the Santa Fe Snyder merger and $50 to $60 million related to the PennzEnergy merger have not been reflected as an adjustment to the historical data in preparing the following pro forma information. These cost savings are expected to result from the consolidation of the corporate headquarters of Devon, Santa Fe Snyder and PennzEnergy and the elimination of duplicate staff and expenses. Some of the cost savings related to the Santa Fe Snyder merger involve items that, under the full cost method of accounting, are capitalized rather than expensed in the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, not all of the $30 to $35 million of expected savings will result in reductions to expenses as reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. • The 1999 pro forma results include a gain of $46.7 million ($29.8 million after-tax) from PennzEnergy’s pre-merger sale of land, timber and mineral rights in Pennsylvania and New York. • In 1998, PennzEnergy realized pretax gains on the sale and exchange of Chevron Corporation common stock of $203.1 million. This gain is included in the 1998 pro forma financial information presented in the following table. The pro forma financial information does not include the related $207.0 million after-tax extraordinary loss resulting from the early extinguishment of debt. The exclusion of the extraordinary loss from the 1998 pro forma results is required by Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations regarding presentation of pro forma results of operations. If the extraordinary loss were included in the 1998 pro forma results, the 1998 pro forma net loss as presented in the following table would be $508.8 million, or $4.37 per share. • The 1999 pro forma financial information does not include a $4.2 million extraordinary loss recorded by Santa Fe Snyder. This loss related to the early extinguishment of debt. If the extraordinary loss were included in the 1999 pro forma results, the 1999 pro forma net loss as presented in the following table would be $211.9 million, or $1.85 per share. • The 1998 pro forma results include $24.3 million of nonrecurring general and administrative expenses in connection with the spin-off of Pennzoil-Quaker State Company on December 30, 1998. • The 1999 and 1998 pro forma results include reductions of the carrying value of oil and gas properties of $476.1 million and $422.5 million, respectively. The after-tax effect of these reductions, which were due to the full cost ceiling limitation, were $309.7 million in 1999 and $280.8 million in 1998.

The combination of the two companies (the “Northstar combination”) was closed on December 10, 1998. At that date, Northstar became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Devon. Pursuant to the Northstar combination, Northstar’s common shareholders received approximately 16.1 million exchangeable shares (the “Exchangeable Shares”) based on an exchange ratio of 0.235 Exchangeable Shares for each Northstar common share outstanding. The Exchangeable Shares were issued by Northstar, but are exchangeable at any time into Devon’s common shares on a one-for-one basis. Prior to such exchange, the Exchangeable Shares have rights identical to those of Devon’s common shares, including dividend, voting and liquidation rights. Between December 10, 1998 and December 31, 2000, approximately 13.1 million of the originally issued 16.1 million Exchangeable Shares had been exchanged for shares of Devon common stock. 6 2 The Northstar combination was accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations. All operational and financial information contained herein includes the combined amounts for Devon and Northstar for all periods presented. During the fourth quarter of 1998, Devon recorded a pre-tax charge of $13.1 million ($9.7 million after tax) for direct costs related to the Northstar combination. 3. SAN JUAN BASIN TRANSACTION At the beginning of 1995, Devon entered into a transaction (the “San Juan Basin Transaction”) involving a volumetric production payment and a repurchase option. The San Juan Basin Transaction allowed Devon to monetize tax credits earned from certain of its coal seam gas production in the San Juan Basin. During 2000, 1999 and 1998, the San Juan Basin Transaction added approximately $12.3 million, $7.6 million and $8.4 million, respectively, to Devon’s gas revenues. Under the terms of the San Juan Basin Transaction, Devon had a repurchase option which it could exercise at anytime. Devon exercised the repurchase option effective September 30, 2000. Devon had previously recorded a portion of the quarterly cash payments received pursuant to the San Juan Basin Transaction as a repurchase liability based upon the estimated eventual repurchase price. Devon also received cash payments in exchange for agreeing not to exercise its repurchase option for specific periods of time prior to 2000. These payments were also added to the repurchase liability. As a result, in addition to the cash flow recorded as revenues described in the previous paragraph, Devon also received $16.6 million and $6.8 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively, which were added to the repurchase liability. The actual repurchase price as of September 30, 2000, was approximately $36.3 million. 4. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION Cash payments for interest in 2000, 1999 and 1998 were approximately $155.1 million, $115.6 million and $45.6 million, respectively. Cash payments for federal, state and foreign income taxes in 2000, 1999 and 1998 were approximately $81.8 million, $15.8 million and $19.4 million, respectively. The 1999 PennzEnergy merger and Snyder merger involved non-cash consideration as presented below: Value of common stock issued Value of preferred stock issued Employee stock options assumed Liabilities assumed Deferred tax liability created Fair value of assets acquired with non-cash consideration 1999 (IN THOUSANDS) $ 1,130,269 150,000 18,295 2,259,174 474,306 $ 4,032,044 During the fourth quarter of 1999, substantially all of the 6.5% Trust Convertible Preferred Securities were converted to Devon common stock (see Note 9). 6 3 5.

The Credit Facilities include a U.S. facility of $725 million (the “U.S. Facility”) and a Canadian facility of $275 million (the “Canadian Facility”). The Credit Facilities replaced the prior separate facilities of Devon and Santa Fe Snyder. Prior to the August 2000 merger, Devon and Santa Fe Snyder each had their own unsecured credit facilities. Devon’s credit facilities prior to the merger aggregated $750 million, with $475 million in a U.S. facility and $275 million in a Canadian facility. Santa Fe Snyder’s credit facilities prior to the merger aggregated $600 million. 6 5 The $725 million U.S. Facility consists of a Tranche A facility of $200 million and a Tranche B facility of $525 million. The Tranche B facility can be increased to as high as $625 million and reduced to as low as $425 million by reallocating the amount available between the Tranche B facility and the Canadian Facility. The Tranche A facility matures on October 15, 2004. Devon may borrow funds under the Tranche B facility until August 28, 2001 (the “Tranche B Revolving Period”). Devon may request that the Tranche B Revolving Period be extended an additional 364 days by notifying the agent bank of such request between 30 and 60 days prior to the end of the Tranche B Revolving Period. Debt borrowed under the Tranche B facility matures two years and one day following the end of the Tranche B Revolving Period. Devon may borrow funds under the $275 million Canadian Facility until August 28, 2001 (the “Canadian Facility Revolving Period”). As disclosed in the prior paragraph, the Canadian Facility can be increased to as high as $375 million and reduced to as low as $175 million by reallocating the amount available between the Tranche B facility and the Canadian Facility. Devon may request that the Canadian Facility Revolving Period be extended an additional 364 days by notifying the agent bank of such request between 45 and 90 days prior to the end of the Canadian Facility Revolving Period. Debt outstanding as of the end of the Canadian Facility Revolving Period is payable in semi-annual installments of 2.5% each for the following five years, with the final installment due five years and one day following the end of the Canadian Facility Revolving Period. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facilities bear interest at various fixed rate options that Devon may elect for periods up to six months. Such rates are generally less than the prime rate, and are tied to margins determined by Devon’s corporate credit ratings. Devon may also elect to borrow at the prime rate. The Credit Facilities provide for an annual facility fee of $0.9 million that is payable quarterly. The weighted average interest rate on the $146.7 million outstanding under the Credit Facilities at December 31, 2000, was 6.07%. The average interest rate on bank debt outstanding under the previous facilities at December 31, 1999 and 1998 was 6.85% and 6.28%, respectively. The agreements governing the Credit Facilities contain certain covenants and restrictions, including a maximum debt-to- capitalization ratio. At December 31, 2000, Devon was in compliance with such covenants and restrictions. Exchangeable Debentures The exchangeable debentures consist of $443.8 million of 4.90% debentures and $316.5 million of 4.95% debentures. The exchangeable debentures were issued on August 3, 1998 and mature August 15, 2008. The exchangeable debentures are callable beginning August 15, 2000, initially at 104.0% of principal and at prices declining to 100.5% of principal on or after August 15, 2007. The exchangeable debentures are exchangeable at the option of the holders at any time prior to maturity, unless previously redeemed, for shares of Chevron Corporation common stock. In lieu of delivering Chevron Corporation common stock, Devon may, at its option, pay to any holder an amount of cash equal to the market value of the Chevron Corporation common stock to satisfy the exchange request. However, at maturity, the holders will receive an amount at least equal to the face value of the debt outstanding - either in cash or in a combination of cash and Chevron Corporation common stock. As of December 31, 2000, Devon beneficially owned approximately 7.1 million shares of Chevron Corporation common stock. These shares have been deposited with an exchange agent for possible exchange for the exchangeable debentures. Each $1,000 principal amount of the exchangeable debentures is exchangeable into 9.3283 shares of Chevron Corporation common stock, an exchange rate equivalent to $107-7/32 per share of Chevron stock. The exchangeable debentures were assumed as part of the PennzEnergy merger. The fair values of the exchangeable debentures were determined as of August 17, 1999, based on market quotations. The fair value approximated the face value of the exchangeable debentures. As a result, no premium or discount was recorded on these exchangeable debentures. Other Debentures The 10.25% and 10.125% debentures were assumed as part of the PennzEnergy merger. The fair values of the respective debentures were determined using August 17, 1999, market interest rates. As a result, premiums were recorded on these debentures which lowered their effective interest rates to 8.3% and 8.9% on the $250 million of 10.25% debentures and $200 million of 10.125% debentures, respectively. The premiums are being amortized using the effective interest method. Senior Notes In connection with the Snyder merger, Devon assumed Snyder’s $175 million of 8.75% notes due in 2007. The notes are redeemable by Devon on or after June 15, 2002, initially at 104.375% of principal and at prices declining to 100% of principal on or after June 15, 2005. The notes are general unsecured obligations of Devon. In June 1999, Devon issued $125.0 million of 8.05% notes due 2004. The notes were issued for 98.758% of face value and Devon received total proceeds of $121.6 million after deducting related costs and expenses of $1.9 million. The notes, which mature June 15, 2004, are redeemable, upon not less than thirty nor more than sixty days notice, as a whole or in part, at the option of Devon at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof, (ii) the applicable make-whole premium as determined by an independent investment 6 6 banker and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest. The notes are general unsecured obligations of Devon. The indentures for these notes include covenants that restrict the ability of Devon SFS Operating, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Devon, to take certain actions, including the ability to incur additional indebtedness and to pay dividends or repurchase capital stock. In September 2000, Devon, as required under the $125 million senior note agreement due to a “change of control”, made a tender offer to repurchase the senior notes at a premium of 101.000%. As a result of this tender offer, $119,000 of senior notes were redeemed at a total cost to Devon of approximately $120,000. Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures In June 2000, Devon privately sold zero coupon convertible senior debentures. The debentures were sold at a price of $464.13 per debenture with a yield to maturity of 3.875% per annum. Each of the 760,000 debentures is convertible into 5.7593 shares of Devon common stock. Devon may call the debentures at any time after five years, and a debenture holder has the right to require Devon to repurchase the debentures after five, 10 and 15 years, at the issue price plus accrued original issue discount and interest. Devon’s proceeds were approximately $346.1 million, net of debt issuance costs of approximately $6.6 million. Devon used the proceeds from the sale of these debentures to pay down other domestic long-term debt. Interest Expense Following are the components of interest expense for the years 2000, 1999 and 1998: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, Interest based on debt outstanding Amortization of debt premium, net Facility and agency fees Amortization of capitalized loan costs Capitalized interest Other 2000 1999 1998 (IN THOUSANDS) $ 157,028 (3,781) 2,696 1,467 (3,239) 158 108,064 (1,328) 1,930 1,583 (1,925) 1,289 43,114 — 932 556 (1,100) 30 Total interest expense $ 154,329 109,613 43,532 Deferred Effect of Changes in Foreign Currency Exchange Rate on Long-term Debt Until mid-January 2000, the 6.76 % and 6.79% fixed-rate Senior Notes referred to in the first table of this note were payable by Northstar. However, the notes were denominated in U.S. dollars. Changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar from the dates the notes were issued to the dates of repayment increased or decreased the expected amount of Canadian dollars eventually required to repay the notes. Such changes in the Canadian dollar equivalent of the debt were required to be included in determining net earnings for the period in which the exchange rate changed. The rate of conversion of Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars declined in 2000 and 1998 and increased in 1999. Therefore, $2.4 million of increased expense was recorded in 2000, $13.2 million of reduced expense was recorded in 1999, and $16.1 million of increased expense was recorded in 1998. 8. INCOME TAXES At December 31, 2000, Devon had the following carryforwards available to reduce future income taxes: TYPES OF CARRYFORWARD Net operating loss - U.S. federal Net operating loss - various states Net operating loss - Canada Minimum tax credits YEARS OF EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD AMOUNTS (IN THOUSANDS) 2008 - 2014 2002 - 2014 2001 - 2007 Indefinite $ 344,038 37,357 $ 2,180 $ 84,991 $ All of the carryforward amounts shown above have been utilized for financial purposes to reduce deferred taxes. The earnings (loss) before income taxes and the components of income tax expense (benefit) for the years 2000, 1999 and 6 7 1998 were as follows: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, Earnings (loss) before income taxes: U.S Canada International Total Current income tax expense (benefit): U.S. federal Various states Canada Other Total current tax expense (benefit) Deferred income tax expense (benefit): U.S. federal Various states Canada Other Total deferred tax expense (benefit) Total income tax expense (benefit) 2000 1999 1998 (IN THOUSANDS) $ $ $ $ 872,455 156,085 113,440 1,141,980 (313,101) 57,402 56,321 (199,378) (274,150) 19,958 (107,800) (361,992) 106,742 6,015 2,268 15,768 130,793 151,832 33,399 67,318 28,296 280,845 411,638 12,544 2,804 2,908 4,800 23,056 (6,399) (1,189) 1,975 1,900 (3,713) (119,286) (495) 26,654 20,637 (72,490) (49,434) (88,824) (4,836) 11,166 (39,900) (122,394) (126,107) Total income tax expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to earnings (loss) before income taxes as a result of the following: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 1999 1998 U.S. statutory tax (benefit) rate Benefit from disposition of certain foreign assets Non-deductible expenses Nonconventional fuel source credits State income taxes Taxation on foreign operations Other Effective income tax (benefit) rate 35% (35)% (35)% (11) 3 (2) 2 5 4 36% — 3 (3) 1 7 2 (25)% — 3 (1) (1) 2 (3) (35)% 6 8 The tax effects of temporary differences that gave rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 are presented below: DECEMBER 31, Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards Minimum tax credit carryforwards Production payments Long-term debt Other Total gross deferred tax assets Less valuation allowance Net deferred tax assets Deferred tax liabilities: Property and equipment, principally due to differences in depreciation, and the expensing of intangible drilling costs for tax purposes Chevron Corporation common stock Other Total deferred tax liabilities 2000 1999 1998 (IN THOUSANDS) $ 122,843 84,991 — 17,176 95,283 320,293 100 320,193 207,322 88,447 21,527 17,583 50,618 385,497 100 385,397 48,418 16,900 19,105 — 20,388 104,811 100 104,711 (687,473) (166,596) (83,971) (938,040) (500,156) (172,631) (31,789) (704,576) (49,256) — (469) (49,725) Net deferred tax (liability) asset $ (617,847) (319,179) 54,986 As shown in the above table, Devon has recognized $320.2 million of net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2000. Such amount consists primarily of $207.8 million of various carryforwards available to offset future income taxes. The carryforwards include federal net operating loss carryforwards, the majority of which do not begin to expire until 2008, state net operating loss carryforwards which expire primarily between 2002 and 2014, Canadian carryforwards which expire primarily between 2001 and 2007, and minimum tax credit carryforwards which have no expiration. The tax benefits of carryforwards are recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses the utilization of such carryforwards to be “more likely than not.” When the future utilization of some portion of the carryforwards is determined not to be “more likely than not,” a valuation allowance is provided to reduce the recorded tax benefits from such assets. Devon expects the tax benefits from the net operating loss carryforwards to be utilized between 2001 and 2006. Such expectation is based upon current estimates of taxable income during this period, considering limitations on the annual utilization of these benefits as set forth by federal tax regulations. Significant changes in such estimates caused by variables such as future oil and gas prices or capital expenditures could alter the timing of the eventual utilization of such carryforwards. There can be no assurance that Devon will generate any specific level of continuing taxable earnings. However, management believes that Devon’s future taxable income will more likely than not be sufficient to utilize substantially all its tax carryforwards prior to their expiration. A $0.1 million valuation allowance has been recorded at December 31, 2000, related to depletion carryforwards acquired in a 1994 merger. 9. TRUST CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED SECURITIES On July 10, 1996, Devon, through its affiliate Devon Financing Trust, completed the issuance of $149.5 million of 6.5% trust convertible preferred securities (the “TCP Securities”). Devon Financing Trust issued 2,990,000 shares of the TCP Securities at $50 per share with a maturity date of June 15, 2026. Each TCP Security was convertible at the holder’s option into 1.6393 shares of Devon common stock, which equated to a conversion price of $30.50 per share of Devon common stock. Devon Financing Trust invested the $149.5 million of proceeds in 6.5% convertible junior subordinated debentures issued by Devon (the “Convertible Debentures”). In turn, Devon used the net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Debentures to retire debt outstanding under its credit lines. 6 9 On October 27, 1999, Devon issued notice to the holders of the TCP Securities that it was exercising its right to redeem such securities on November 30, 1999. Substantially all of the holders of the TCP Securities elected to exercise their conversion rights instead of receiving the redemption cash value. As a result, all but 950 shares of the TCPSecurities were converted into approximately 4.9 million shares of Devon common stock. The redemption price for the 950 shares not converted was $52.275 per share, or $50,000 total, which included a 4.55% premium as required under the terms of the TCP Securities. Devon owned all the common securities of Devon Financing Trust. As such, the accounts of Devon Financing Trust were included in Devon’s consolidated financial statements after appropriate eliminations of intercompany balances and transactions. The distributions on the TCP Securities were recorded as a charge to pre-tax earnings on Devon’s consolidated statements of operations, and such distributions were deductible by Devon for income tax purposes. 10. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY The authorized capital stock of Devon consists of 400 million shares of common stock, par value $.10 per share (the “Common Stock”), and 4.5 million shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, and the terms and rights of such stock will be determined by the Board of Directors. Effective August 17, 1999, Devon issued 1.5 million shares of 6.49% cumulative preferred stock, Series A, to holders of PennzEnergy 6.49% cumulative preferred stock, Series A. Dividends on the preferred stock are cumulative from the date of original issue and are payable quarterly, in cash, when declared by the Board of Directors. The preferred stock is redeemable at the option of Devon at any time on or after June 2, 2008, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of $100 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date. In late September and early October 1999, Devon received $402.7 million from the sale of approximately 10.3 million shares of its common stock in a public offering. The price to the public for these shares was $40.50 per share. Net of underwriters’discount and commissions, Devon received $38.98 per share. Devon paid approximately $0.8 million of expenses related to the equity offering, and these costs were recorded as reductions of additional paid-in capital. As discussed in Note 2, there were approximately 21.5 million shares of Devon common stock issued on August 17, 1999, in connection with the PennzEnergy merger. Also, as discussed in Note 2, there were 16.1 million Exchangeable Shares issued on December 10, 1998, in connection with the Northstar combination. As of year-end 2000, 13.1 million of the Exchangeable Shares had been exchanged for shares of Devon’s common stock. The Exchangeable Shares have rights identical to those of Devon’s common stock and are exchangeable at any time into Devon’s common stock on a one-for-one basis. Devon’s Board of Directors has designated 1.0 million shares of the preferred stock as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the “Series A Junior Preferred Stock”) in connection with the adoption of the share rights plan described later in this note. At December 31, 2000, there were no shares of Series A Junior Preferred Stock issued or outstanding. The Series A Junior Preferred Stock is entitled to receive cumulative quarterly dividends per share equal to the greater of $10 or 100 times the aggregate per share amount of all dividends (other than stock dividends) declared on Common Stock since the immediately preceding quarterly dividend payment date or, with respect to the first payment date, since the first issuance of Series A Junior Preferred Stock. Holders of the Series A Junior Preferred Stock are entitled to 100 votes per share (subject to adjustment to prevent dilution) on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The Series A Junior Preferred Stock is neither redeemable nor convertible. The Series A Junior Preferred Stock ranks prior to the Common Stock but junior to all other classes of Preferred Stock. Stock Option Plans Devon has outstanding stock options issued to key management and professional employees under three stock option plans adopted in 1988, 1993 and 1997 (the “1988 Plan,” the “1993 Plan” and the “1997 Plan”). Options granted under the 1988 Plan and 1993 Plan remain exercisable by the employees owning such options, but no new options will be granted under these plans. At December 31, 2000, there were 109,000 and 487,540 options outstanding under the 1988 Plan and the 1993 Plan, respectively. On May 21, 1997, Devon’s stockholders adopted the 1997 Plan and reserved two million shares of Common Stock for issuance thereunder. On December 9, 1998, Devon’s stockholders voted to increase the reserved number of shares to three million. On August 17, 1999, Devon’s stockholders voted to increase the reserved number of shares to six million. On August 29, 2000, Devon’s stockholders voted to increase the reserved number of shares to ten million. 7 0 The exercise price of stock options granted under the 1997 Plan may not be less than the estimated fair market value of the stock at the date of grant, plus 10% if the grantee owns or controls more than 10% of the total voting stock of Devon prior to the grant. Options granted are exercisable during a period established for each grant, which period may not exceed 10 years from the date of grant. Under the 1997 Plan, the grantee must pay the exercise price in cash or in Common Stock, or a combination thereof, at the time that the option is exercised. The 1997 Plan is administered by a committee comprised of non- management members of the Board of Directors. The 1997 Plan expires on April 25, 2007. As of December 31, 2000, there were 3,306,329 options outstanding under the 1997 Plan. There were 6,225,949 options available for future grants as of December 31, 2000. In addition to the stock options outstanding under the 1988 Plan, 1993 Plan and 1997 Plan, there were approximately 1,744,409, 1,630,123 and 78,553 stock options outstanding at the end of 2000 that were assumed as part of the Santa Fe Snyder merger, the PennzEnergy merger and the Northstar combination, respectively. Santa Fe Snyder, PennzEnergy and Northstar had granted these options prior to the Santa Fe Snyder merger, the PennzEnergy merger and the Northstar combination. As part of the Santa Fe Snyder merger, the PennzEnergy merger and the Northstar combination, the options were assumed by Devon and converted to Devon options at the exchange rate of 0.22, 0.4475 and 0.235 Devon options for each Santa Fe Snyder, PennzEnergy and Northstar option, respectively. A summary of the status of Devon’s stock option plans as of December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, and changes during each of the years then ended, is presented below.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated for disclosure purposes on the date of grant using the Black- Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 5.5%, 6.0% and 5.0%; dividend yields of 0.4%, 0.5% and 0.4%; expected lives of 5, 5 and 5 years; and volatility of the price of the underlying common stock of 40.0%, 35.2% and 31.7%. 7 1 The following table summarizes information about Devon’s stock options which were outstanding, and those which were exercisable, as of December 31, 2000: RANGE OF EXERCISE PRICES $ 8.375-$26.501 $28.830-$33.381 $34.375-$39.773 $40.125-$49.950 $50.142-$59.813 $60.150-$89.660 OPTIONS OUTSTANDING OPTIONS EXERCISABLE NUMBER OUTSTANDING 886,899 1,892,214 1,288,365 522,150 2,146,853 619,473 7,355,954 WEIGHTED AVERAGE REMAINING LIFE 2.98 Years 6.52 Years 6.10 Years 5.56 Years 7.75 Years 4.84 Years 6.17 Years WEIGHTED AVERAGE EXERCISE PRICE $22.732 $30.691 $36.550 $46.067 $53.072 $71.797 $41.843 NUMBER EXERCISABLE 881,065 1,612,472 1,263,100 506,884 1,155,202 606,073 6,024,796 WEIGHTED AVERAGE EXERCISE PRICE $22.719 $30.705 $36.554 $46.017 $54.212 $72.050 $40.718 Had Devon elected the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123 and recognized compensation expense over the vesting period based on the fair value of the stock options granted as of their grant date, Devon’s 2000, 1999 and 1998 pro forma net earnings (loss) and pro forma net earnings (loss) per share would have differed from the amounts actually reported as shown in the following table.

The rights become exercisable and separately transferable ten business days after a) an announcement that a person has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, 15% or more of the voting shares outstanding, or b) commencement of a tender or exchange offer that could result in a person owning 15% or more of the voting shares outstanding. Each right entitles its holder (except a holder who is the acquiring person) to purchase either (a) 1/100 of a share of Series A Preferred Stock for $75.00, subject to adjustment or, (b) Devon Common Stock with a value equal to twice the exercise price of the right, subject to adjustment to prevent dilution. In the event of certain merger or asset sale transactions with another party or transactions which would increase the equity ownership of a shareholder who then owned 15% or more of Devon, each Devon right will entitle its holder to purchase securities of the merging or acquiring party with a value equal to twice the exercise price of the right. The rights, which have no voting power, expire on April 16, 2005. The rights may be redeemed by Devon for $.01 per right until the rights become exercisable. 7 2 11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of Devon’s financial instruments at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. (IN THOUSANDS) 2000 1999 1998 CARRYING AMOUNT FAIR VALUE CARRYING AMOUNT FAIR VALUE CARRYING AMOUNT FAIR VALUE Investments Oil and gas price hedge agreements Foreign exchange hedge agreements Long-term debt (including current portion) TCP Securities 606,117 $ — $ $ — $ (2,048,836) — $ 606,117 (57,560) (533) (2,049,779) — 634,281 — — (2,416,521) — 634,281 (9,540) (2,535) (2,400,334) 1,930 — — (735,871) — (149,500) 1,930 1,988 (9,310) (758,075) (171,400) The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the financial instruments in the above table. None of Devon’s financial instruments are held for trading purposes. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable (including income taxes payable and accrued expenses) included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximated fair value at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. Investments - The fair values of investments are primarily based on quoted market prices. Oil and Gas Price Hedge Agreements - The fair values of the oil and gas price hedges are based on either (a) an internal discounted cash flow calculation, (b) quotes obtained from the counterparty to the hedge agreement or (c) quotes provided by brokers. Foreign Exchange Hedge Agreements - The fair values of the foreign exchange agreements are based on quotes obtained from brokers. Long-term Debt - The fair values of the fixed-rate long-term debt have been estimated based on quotes obtained from brokers or by discounting the principal and interest payments at rates available for debt of similar terms and maturity. The fair values of the floating-rate long-term debt are estimated to approximate the carrying amounts due to the fact that the interest rates paid on such debt are generally set for periods of three months or less. TCP Securities - The fair values of the TCP securities are based on quoted market prices provided by brokers. The following table covers Devon’s notional volumes and pricing on open natural gas hedging instruments as of December 31, 2000: YEAR OF PRODUCTION Volumes (billion British thermal units) Average price to be received 2001 2002 14,027 2.18 $ 3,333 2.52 The floating reference prices which Devon will pay the counterparties to the above gas price hedging instruments include several index prices based upon the area of the gas production that is hedged. For the hedged Canadian gas production, these reference prices are primarily based on index prices published by the Alberta Energy Company (“AECO”). For the hedged U.S. production, the reference prices are primarily based on index prices published by “Inside F.E.R.C.’s Gas Market Report” (“Inside FERC”) for the Rocky Mountains. In addition to the above gas hedging instruments, Devon also had a natural gas basis swap in effect as of December 31, 2000. In this basis swap, which covers 20,000 MMBtus per day, Devon owes the counterparty the applicable monthly Colorado Interstate Gas Co. index price as published by Inside FERC, while the counterparty owes Devon the average NYMEX price for the last three settlement days of the month less $0.30 per MMBtu. The net difference is settled by the parties each month. This basis swap continues through August 31, 2004. 7 3 Devon has certain foreign currency hedging instruments that offset a portion of the exposure to currency fluctuations on Canadian oil sales that are based on U.S. dollar prices. Gains and losses recognized on these foreign currency hedging instruments are included as increases or decreases to realized oil sales. As of December 31, 2000, Devon had open foreign currency hedging instruments in which it will sell $10 million in 2001 at average Canadian-to-U.S. dollar exchange rates of $0.7102. Under this agreement, Devon will buy the same amount of dollars at the floating exchange rate. Devon’s 1999 and 1998 consolidated balance sheets include deferred revenues of $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for gains realized on the early termination of commodity and foreign currency hedging instruments in prior years. 12. RETIREMENT PLANS Devon has non-contributory defined benefit retirement plans (the “Basic Plans”) which include U.S. employees meeting certain age and service requirements. The benefits are based on the employee’s years of service and compensation. Devon’s funding policy is to contribute annually the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. Rights to amend or terminate the Basic Plans are retained by Devon. Devon also has separate defined benefit retirement plans (the “Supplementary Plans”) which are non-contributory and include only certain employees whose benefits under the Basic Plans are limited by income tax regulations. The Supplementary Plans’benefits are based on the employee’s years of service and compensation. Devon’s funding policy for the Supplementary Plans is to fund the benefits as they become payable. Rights to amend or terminate the Supplementary Plans are retained by Devon. In 2000, Devon established a defined benefit postretirement plan, which is unfunded, and covers substantially all current employees including former Santa Fe Snyder and PennzEnergy employees who remained with Devon. Additionally, Devon assumed responsibility for the PennzEnergy sponsored defined benefit postretirement plans, which are unfunded. The plans provide medical and life insurance benefits and are, depending on the type of plan, either contributory or non-contributory. The accounting for the health care plan anticipates future cost-sharing changes that are consistent with Devon’s expressed intent to increase, where possible, contributions for future retirees. The following table sets forth the plans’benefit obligations, plan assets, reconciliation of funded status, amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets and the actuarial assumptions used as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. 7 4 Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation at beginning of year Service cost Interest cost Participant contributions Amendments Mergers and acquisitions Curtailment gain Actuarial (gain) loss Benefits paid Benefit obligation at end of year Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year Actual return on plan assets PennzEnergy merger Employer contributions Participant contributions Benefits paid Fair value of plan assets at end of year PENSION BENEFITS OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS 2000 1999 1998 2000 1999 1998 (IN THOUSANDS) $ 155,569 6,736 11,283 — 4,303 — (3,037) (2,963) (7,290) 164,601 63,841 4,937 6,464 — — 87,751 — (3,525) (3,899) 155,569 157,894 2,574 41,531 14,808 — 104,181 1,273 — (3,899) 157,894 1,664 — (7,290) 154,842 53,859 2,685 4,035 — 293 — — 5,573 (2,604) 63,841 43,136 113 — 886 — (2,604) 41,531 $ 37,860 809 2,330 147 (1,985) — (346) (3,153) (3,520) 32,142 — — — 3,373 147 (3,520) — 8,100 838 1,249 — — 28,659 — 600 (1,586) 37,860 — — — 1,486 100 (1,586) — 6,600 400 500 100 — — — 1,000 (500) 8,100 — — — 400 100 (500) — Funded status (9,759) 2,325 (22,310) (32,142) (37,860) (8,100) Unrecognized net actuarial (gain) loss Unrecognized prior service cost Unrecognized net transition (asset) obligation Other Net amount recognized 9,888 1,570 (6,331) — $ (4,632) (2,723) 1,966 (400) 100 1,268 9,130 2,322 (500) — (11,358) (2,199) (1,201) 1,152 — $ (34,390) 800 — 2,100 100 (34,860) The net amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets consist of: (Accrued) prepaid benefit cost Additional minimum liability Intangible asset Accumulated other comprehensive loss Net amount recognized Assumptions: Discount rate Expected return on plan assets Rate of compensation increase $ (4,632) (735) 508 227 $ (4,632) 1,268 (3,110) 1,537 1,573 1,268 (11,358) (2,987) 1,808 1,179 (11,358) $ (34,390) — — — $ (34,390) (34,860) — — — (34,860) 7.65% 8.50% 5.00% 7.34% 8.37% 4.88% 6.69% 9.35% 4.84% 7.65% N/A 5.00% 7.32% N/A 4.75% 6.75% N/A 4.75% The benefit obligation for the defined benefit pension plans with benefit obligations in excess of assets was $87.0 million as of December 31, 2000.

The rate was assumed to decrease on a pro-rata basis annually to 5% in the year 2005 and remain at that level thereafter. Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plan. A one percentage- point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects: ONE-PERCENTAGE POINT INCREASE ONE-PERCENTAGE POINT DECREASE (IN THOUSANDS) Effect on total of service and interest cost components for 2000 Effect on year-end 2000 postretirement benefit obligation $ $ 230 1,062 $ $ (204) (1,009) Devon has incurred certain postemployment benefits to former or inactive employees who are not retirees. These benefits include salary continuance, severance and disability health care and life insurance which are accounted for under SFAS No. 112, “Employer’s Accounting for Postemployment Benefits.” The accrued postemployment benefit liability was approximately $12.7 million and $2.5 million at the end of 2000 and 1999, respectively. Devon has a 401(k) Incentive Savings Plan which covers all domestic employees. At its discretion, Devon may match a certain percentage of the employees’contributions to the plan. The matching percentage is determined annually by the Board of Directors. Devon’s matching contributions to the plan were $5.0 million, $4.3 million and $2.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Devon has defined contribution plans for its Canadian employees. Devon contributes between 6% and 10% of the employee’s base compensation, depending upon the employee’s classification. Such contributions are subject to maximum amounts allowed under the Income Tax Act (Canada). Devon also has a savings plan for its Canadian employees. Under the savings plan, Devon contributes an amount equal to 2% of the base salary of each employee. The employees may elect to contribute up to 4% of their salary. If such employee contributions are made, they are matched by additional Devon contributions. During the years 2000, 1999 and 1998, Devon’s combined contributions to the Canadian defined contribution plan and the Canadian savings plan were $2.1 million, $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. As a result of the Santa Fe Snyder merger, Devon also has a savings plan with respect to certain personnel employed in foreign locations. The plan is an unsecured creditor of Devon and at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, Devon’s liability with respect to the plan totaled $0.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. 7 6 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Devon is party to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Matters that are probable of unfavorable outcome to Devon and which can be reasonably estimated are accrued. Such accruals are based on information known about the matters, Devon’s estimates of the outcomes of such matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. None of the actions are believed by management to involve future amounts that would be material to Devon’s financial position or results of operations after consideration of recorded accruals. Environmental Matters Devon is subject to certain laws and regulations relating to environmental remediation activities associated with past operations, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and similar state statutes. In response to liabilities associated with these activities, accruals have been established when reasonable estimates are possible. Such accruals primarily include estimated costs associated with remediation. Devon has not used discounting in determining its accrued liabilities for environmental remediation, and no claims for possible recovery from third party insurers or other parties related to environmental costs have been recognized in Devon’s consolidated financial statements. Devon adjusts the accruals when new remediation responsibilities are discovered and probable costs become estimable, or when current remediation estimates must be adjusted to reflect new information. Certain of Devon’s subsidiaries acquired in the PennzEnergy merger are involved in matters in which it has been alleged that such subsidiaries are potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) under CERCLAor similar state legislation with respect to various waste disposal areas owned or operated by third parties. As of December 31, 2000, Devon’s consolidated balance sheet included $7.8 million of accrued liabilities, reflected in “Other liabilities,” for environmental remediation. Devon does not currently believe there is a reasonable possibility of incurring additional material costs in excess of the current accruals recognized for such environmental remediation activities. With respect to the sites in which Devon subsidiaries are PRPs, Devon’s conclusion is based in large part on (i) the availability of defenses to liability, including the availability of the “petroleum exclusion” under CERCLA and similar state laws, and/or (ii) Devon’s current belief that its share of wastes at a particular site is or will be viewed by the Environmental Protection Agency or other PRPs as being de minimis. As a result, Devon’s monetary exposure is not expected to be material. Royalty Matters More than 30 oil companies, including Devon, are involved in disputes in which it is alleged that such companies and related parties underpaid royalty, overriding royalty and working interests owners in connection with the production of crude oil. The proceedings include suits in federal court in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Wyoming that have been consolidated into one proceeding in Texas. To avoid expensive and protracted litigation, certain parties, including Devon, have entered into a global settlement agreement which provides for a settlement of all claims of all members of the settlement class. The court held a fairness hearing and issued an Amended Final Judgment approving the settlement on September 10, 1999. However, certain entities have appealed their objections to the settlement. Also, pending in federal court in Texas is a similar suit alleging underpaid royalties to the United States in connection with natural gas and natural gas liquids produced and sold from United States owned and/or controlled lands. The claims were filed by private litigants against Devon and numerous other producers, under the federal False Claims Act. The United States served notice of its intent to intervene as to certain defendants, but not Devon. Devon and certain other defendants are challenging the constitutionality of whether a claim under the federal False Claims Act can be maintained absent government intervention. Devon believes that it has acted reasonably and paid royalties in good faith. Devon does not currently believe that it is subject to material exposure in association with this litigation. As a result, Devon’s monetary exposure in this suit is not expected to be material. Maersk Rig Contract In December 1997, the working interest owner partner of Pennzoil Venezuela Corporation, S.A. (“PVC”), a subsidiary of Devon as a result of the PennzEnergy merger, entered into a contract with Maersk Jupiter Drilling, S.A. (“Maersk”) for the provision of a rig for drilling services relative to the anticipated drilling program associated with Devon’s Block 70/80 in Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela. The rig was assembled and delivered by Maersk to Lake Maracaibo where it performed an abbreviated drilling program for both Blocks 68/79 and 70/80. It is currently stacked in Lake Maracaibo. The contract, which expires October 1, 2001, provides for early termination, with a charge for such termination which is currently estimated at $42,000 per day with certain escalation factors for the balance of the term. As of December 31, 2000, Devon’s consolidated balance sheet included accrued liabilities, reflected in “Other liabilities,” for the expected cost to terminate/settle the contract. Devon does not currently believe there is a reasonable possibility of incurring additional material costs in excess of the liability recognized for such termination/settlement of the contract. 7 7 Operating Leases The following is a schedule by year of future minimum rental payments required under operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2000: YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Thereafter Total minimum lease payments required (IN THOUSANDS) $ 14,394 12,279 11,513 10,779 10,293 20,466 $ 79,724 Total rental expense for all operating leases is as follows for the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 Santa Fe Energy Trust (IN THOUSANDS) $ 18,564 $ 24,204 $ 18,319 The Santa Fe Energy Trust (the “Trust”) was formed in 1992 to hold 6.3 million Depository Units, each consisting of beneficial ownership of one unit of undivided interest in the Trust and a $20 face amount beneficial ownership interest in a $1,000 face amount zero coupon U.S. Treasury obligation maturing on or about February 15, 2008, when the Trust will be liquidated. The assets of the Trust consist of certain oil and gas properties conveyed to it by Santa Fe Snyder. For any calendar quarter ending on or prior to December 31, 2002, the Trust will receive additional support payments to the extent that it needs such payments to distribute $0.39 per Depository Unit per quarter. The source of such support payments is limited to Devon’s remaining royalty interest in certain of the properties conveyed to the Trust. The aggregate amount of the additional royalty payments (net of any amounts recouped) is limited to $19.4 million on a revolving basis. If such support payments are made, certain proceeds otherwise payable to the Trust in subsequent quarters may be reduced to recoup the amount of such support payments. Through the end of 2000, the Trust had received support payments totaling $4.2 million and Devon had recouped all such payments. Depending on various factors, such as sales volumes and prices and the level of operating costs and capital expenditures incurred, proceeds payable to the Trust with respect to operations in subsequent quarters may not be sufficient to make the required quarterly distributions. In such instances, Devon would be required to make support payments. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, accounts payable as shown on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets included $4.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively, due to the Trust. 14. REDUCTION OF CARRYING VALUE OF OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES Under the full cost method of accounting, the net book value of oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed a calculated “ceiling.” The ceiling limitation is the discounted estimated after-tax future net revenues from proved oil and gas properties. The ceiling is imposed separately by country. In calculating future net revenues, current prices and costs are generally held constant indefinitely. The net book value, less deferred tax liabilities, is compared to the ceiling on a quarterly and annual basis. Any excess of the net book value, less deferred taxes, is written off as an expense. An expense recorded in one period may not be reversed in a subsequent period even though higher oil and gas prices may have increased the ceiling applicable to the subsequent period. During 1999 and 1998, Devon reduced the carrying value of its oil and gas properties by $476.1 million and $422.5 million, respectively, due to the full cost ceiling limitations. The after-tax effect of these reductions in 1999 and 1998 were $309.7 million and $280.8 million, respectively. 7 8 15.

Such capitalized expenses, which are included in the costs shown in the preceding tables, were $61.8 million, $28.9 million and $14.8 million in the years 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Due to the tax-free nature of the merger between Santa Fe and Snyder in May 1999, additional deferred tax liabilities of $131.7 million were allocated to proved properties. Due to the tax-free nature of the PennzEnergy merger in August 1999, additional deferred tax liabilities of $346.9 million were recorded in 1999 and allocated to goodwill. Results of Operations for Oil and Gas Producing Activities The following tables include revenues and expenses associated directly with Devon’s oil and gas producing activities. They do not include any allocation of Devon’s interest costs or general corporate overhead and, therefore, are not necessarily indicative of the contribution to net earnings of Devon’s oil and gas operations. Income tax expense has been calculated by applying statutory income tax rates to oil and gas sales after deducting costs, including depreciation, depletion and amortization and after giving effect to permanent differences.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS (UNAUDITED) The following supplemental unaudited information regarding the oil and gas activities of Devon is presented pursuant to the disclosure requirements promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and SFAS No. 69, “Disclosures About Oil and Gas Producing Activities.” Quantities of Oil and Gas Reserves Set forth below is a summary of the changes in the net quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids reserves for each of the three years ended December 31, 2000. Approximately 80%, 98% and 96%, of the respective year-end 2000, 1999 and 1998 domestic proved reserves were calculated by the independent petroleum consultants of LaRoche Petroleum Consultants, Ltd. and Ryder-Scott Company Petroleum Consultants. The remaining percentages of domestic reserves are based on Devon’s own estimates. All of the year-end 2000 and 1999 Canadian proved reserves were calculated by the independent petroleum consultants Paddock Lindstrom & Associates. All of the year-end 1998 Canadian proved reserves were calculated by the independent petroleum consultants of Paddock Lindstrom & Associates and AMH Group Ltd. All of the international proved reserves other than Canada as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 were calculated by the independent petroleum consultants of Ryder-Scott Company Petroleum Consultants. Of the 1998 international reserves other than Canada, 87% were calculated by Ryder-Scott Company Petroleum Consultants and 13% were based on Devon’s own estimates. 8 1 TOTAL OIL (MBBLS) GAS (MMCF)

applying year-end prices (averaging $23.77 per barrel of oil, adjusted for transportation and other charges, $8.04 per Mcf of gas and $29.80 per barrel of natural gas liquids at December 31, 2000) to the year-end quantities of proved reserves, except in those instances where fixed and determinable price changes are provided by contractual arrangements in existence at year-end. Subsequent to December 31, 2000, the price of natural gas declined. The average price in February 2001 for gas sold at market sensitive prices in North America was approximately one-third below the year-end 2000 price. Future development and production costs are computed by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing proved oil and gas reserves at the end of the year, based on year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. Future income tax expenses are computed by applying the appropriate statutory tax rates to the future pre-tax net cash flows relating to proved reserves, net of the tax basis of the properties involved. The future income tax expenses give effect to permanent differences and tax credits, but do not reflect the impact of future operations. Changes Relating to the Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Principal changes in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows attributable to Devon’s proved reserves are as follows: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, Beginning balance Sales of oil, gas and natural gas liquids, net of production costs Net changes in prices and production costs Extensions, discoveries, and improved recovery, net of future development costs Purchase of reserves, net of future development costs Development costs incurred during the period which reduced future development costs Revisions of quantity estimates Sales of reserves in place Accretion of discount Net change in income taxes Other, primarily changes in timing Ending balance 2000 1999 1998 (IN THOUSANDS) $ 4,768,434 1,413,588 1,680,676 (2,010,675) (879,400) (407,360) 9,753,295 1,737,640 (743,193) 2,742,182 315,932 280,414 618,134 2,881,881 223,055 182,533 420,250 (818,602) 581,172 (4,221,575) 457,039 12,472,187 $ 233,880 (62,821) (77,707) 146,904 (929,237) (12,226) 4,768,434 284,999 (181,314) (36,565) 201,465 305,317 (193,906) 1,413,588 17.
