Devon Energy    
2013 Letter to 
Shareholders 
and Form 10-K

Letter to Shareholders

2013 was a year of strong execution and exciting change 
for Devon. Our oil-focused drilling programs increased our 
highest-margin product, U.S. light sweet oil, a remarkable 32 
percent compared to the prior year. This growth was driven 
primarily by the success of our development programs in 
the Permian Basin. Importantly, our success with the drill-
bit translated into improved cash flow and profitability. Our 
growth in oil revenue in 2013, combined with a strong focus 
on cost containment, drove a 10 percent increase in cash flow 
from operations compared to 2012. Our successful drilling 
programs replaced 180 percent of our oil production during 
the year with new, highly economic oil reserves. Total proved 
oil reserves increased to 837 million barrels, the highest level 
in the company’s history. 

Also in 2013, we took several strategic steps to upgrade 

our portfolio and improve the growth trajectory and 
profitability of our business. In October, we announced the 
combination of our U.S. midstream assets with Crosstex to 
form EnLink Midstream. The creation of EnLink improves the 
diversification and growth of our midstream holdings, while 
preserving Devon’s capital for our core business. Through 
this innovative transaction, we established a market-based 
valuation for these assets in excess of $7 billion. We expect 
additional value to accrue to Devon’s shareholders as EnLink 
grows and develops its assets over time.

One month later, in November, we took another bold step 
to strengthen our portfolio with the announced acquisition of 
Eagle Ford assets. We secured a world-class, light-oil acreage 
position in the very best part of the Eagle Ford, an area 
that is delivering some of the highest rate-of-return drilling 
opportunities in North America. With the majority of the 
acquired acreage already derisked, Devon’s new Eagle Ford 
position will provide low-risk, repeatable oil growth for years 
to come. Given the attractive purchase price, the Eagle Ford 
acquisition is accretive to Devon shareholders on virtually 
every metric, including double-digit growth in cash flow per 
share, adjusted for debt. 

In conjunction with our Eagle Ford transaction, we 
announced our intent to monetize non-core E&P properties 
in the U.S. and Canada. This initiative further sharpens our 
focus on our core assets which are capable of delivering 
material growth or substantial free cash flow. We have made 
tremendous progress already in 2014 with the C$3.125 billion 
announced sale of our Canadian conventional assets. We 
expect to complete the divestiture process by year end.

While our portfolio is undergoing change, our approach 
to the business remains the same. We continue to pursue our 
strategic objective of achieving top-quartile shareholder returns 
by maximizing growth in cash flow per share, adjusted for debt. 
This philosophy balances our capital allocation between drilling 
projects, debt reduction and returning cash to our shareholders 
through dividends or stock buybacks. Over time, the relative 
attractiveness of these options will vary, but our disciplined 
pursuit of optimizing our allocation of capital remains steadfast.

Being a premier company goes beyond great execution, a 
deep portfolio and an investment-grade balance sheet. To be 
successful over the long run, we must be committed to safe 
operations, environmental stewardship and respect for our 
neighbors. Devon’s efforts in these areas were recognized with 
numerous awards this past year, including the prestigious Phoenix 
Award, a national environmental honor. Devon was also named to 
Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” list for the seventh 
consecutive year. This recognition reflects the strength of our 
culture and the dedication of our team of employees.

The strategic moves we made in 2013 have undoubtedly 
strengthened our competitive position. As we look to 2014, we 
expect to build on this momentum with an emphasis on superior 
execution of our capital program. Our activity will focus on our 
highest rate-of-return oil development opportunities which 
are expected to drive a 35 percent year-over-year increase in 
companywide oil production from our improved property base. 
This will be led by a 75 percent year-over-year increase in U.S. oil 
production, driven by strong growth in the Permian Basin and 
Eagle Ford. And, we expect to deliver these highly competitive 
results while keeping total capital spending within operating cash 
flow for the year.

Our progress in 2013 is evident. Our shift toward an oil-
focused portfolio is taking hold, and the strategic steps we took 
in 2013 further enhance our ability to deliver attractive returns for 
our shareholders for years to come.

Items 1 and 2. Business and Properties

General

PART I

Devon Energy Corporation (“Devon”) is a leading independent energy company engaged primarily in the

exploration, development and production of oil, natural gas and NGLs. Our operations are concentrated in
various North American onshore areas in the U.S. and Canada. Our portfolio of oil and gas properties provides
stable, environmentally responsible production and a platform for future growth. We have nearly doubled our
onshore North American oil production since 2008 and have a deep inventory of development opportunities to
deliver future oil growth. We produce about 2.4 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day – more than 3 percent of
all the gas consumed in North America. We also own natural gas pipelines, plants and treatment facilities in
many of our producing areas, making us one of North America’s larger processors of natural gas.

Devon pioneered the commercial development of natural gas from shale and coalbed formations, and we are
a proven leader in using steam to produce bitumen from the Canadian oil sands. A Delaware corporation formed
in 1971, we have been publicly held since 1988, and our common stock is listed on the New York Stock
Exchange. Our principal and administrative offices are located at 333 West Sheridan, Oklahoma City, OK
73102-5015 (telephone 405-235-3611). As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately 5,900 employees.

Devon files or furnishes annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports

on Form 8-K as well as any amendments to these reports with the SEC. Through our website, http://
www.devonenergy.com, we make available electronic copies of the documents we file or furnish to the SEC, the
charters of the committees of our Board of Directors and other documents related to our corporate governance
(including our Code of Ethics for the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting
Officer). Access to these electronic filings is available free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after filing
or furnishing them to the SEC. Printed copies of our committee charters or other governance documents and
filings can be requested by writing to our corporate secretary at the address on the cover of this report.

Strategy

Our primary goal is to build value per share. In pursuit of this objective, we focus on growing cash flow per
share, adjusted for debt, which has the greatest long-term correlation to share price appreciation in our industry. We
also focus on growth in earnings, production and reserves, all on a per debt-adjusted share basis. We do this by:

•

•

•

•

exploring for undiscovered oil and natural gas reserves,

purchasing and developing oil and natural gas properties,

enhancing the value of production through marketing and midstream activities,

optimizing production operations to control costs, and

• maintaining a strong balance sheet.

We hold 14 million net acres, of which roughly 60 percent are undeveloped, providing us with a platform
for future growth. An important factor in determining the direction of our growth strategy, particularly our capital
allocation, is the current and forecasted pricing applicable to our production. Our industry had been operating in
an environment that had involved depressed North American gas prices contrasted with more robust prices for oil

3

and NGLs. Consequently, we have focused our recent capital programs on higher-margin oil and liquids-based
resource capture and development. With recent changes in market conditions that have led to challenged prices
for NGLs and Canadian heavy oil, we are refining our capital allocations as needed and evaluating other
investment opportunities to maximize and accelerate growth in cash flow per debt-adjusted share.

In pursuit of our goal to build value per share, we entered into two significant agreements near the end of

2013. On November 20, 2013, we entered into an agreement with GeoSouthern Intermediate Holdings, LLC, to
acquire certain oil and gas properties, leasehold mineral interests and related assets located in the Eagle Ford
Shale in south Texas for $6 billion in cash. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014, and
we have the necessary financing in place to fund the acquisition.

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

In exchange for a controlling interest in both EnLink and the Partnership, Devon will contribute its equity

interest in a newly formed Devon subsidiary (“EnLink Holdings”) and $100 million in cash. EnLink
Holdings will own Devon’s midstream assets in the Barnett Shale in north Texas and the Cana and Arkoma
Woodford Shales in Oklahoma, as well as Devon’s economic interest in Gulf Coast Fractionators in Mt.
Belvieu, Texas. The Partnership and EnLink will each own 50% of EnLink Holdings. The completion of these
transactions is subject to Crosstex Energy, Inc. shareholder approval. Devon expects Crosstex Energy, Inc.
shareholders will approve the transaction, allowing Devon and Crosstex to complete the transaction near the end
of the first quarter of 2014.

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

•

•

70% – Devon Energy Corporation

30% – Current Crosstex Energy, Inc. public stockholders

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

•

•

•

53% – Devon Energy Corporation

40% – Current Crosstex Energy, L.P. public unitholders

7% – the General Partner

In conjunction with the announcement of the GeoSouthern acquisition, we also announced plans to divest
certain non-core properties located throughout Canada and the U. S. On February 19, 2014, we announced our
first transaction as a part of this divestiture program, in which we agreed to sell the majority of our Canadian
conventional assets to Canadian Natural Resources Limited for approximately $2.8 billion ($3.125 billion in
Canadian dollars). We expect this non-core divestiture program will generate organizational and operational
efficiencies and will allow us to allocate capital and employee resources to higher-value properties and prospects.
We expect to complete the majority of the divestitures by the end of 2014. Once the GeoSouthern acquisition and
non-core divestitures are complete, we expect oil production will represent more than 30% of our production
profile.

Anadarko Basin – Our acreage is located primarily in Oklahoma’s Canadian, Blaine, Caddo and Dewey

counties. The Anadarko Basin is a non-conventional reservoir and produces natural gas, NGLs and condensate.

The Anadarko Basin has rapidly emerged as one of the most economic shale plays in North America. We

are the largest leaseholder and the largest producer in the Anadarko Basin. During 2013, we increased our
production by 14 percent. We have several thousand remaining drilling locations. In 2014, we plan to drill
approximately 95 wells.

In addition, we have a significant processing plant and gathering system to service these properties. Our

Cana plant currently has 350 MMcf per day of total capacity.

Barnett Shale – This is our largest property both in terms of production and proved reserves. Our leases are

located primarily in Denton, Johnson, Parker, Tarrant and Wise counties in north Texas. The Barnett Shale is a
non-conventional reservoir, producing natural gas, NGLs and condensate.

We are the largest producer in the Barnett Shale. Since acquiring a substantial position in this field in 2002,
we continue to introduce technology and new innovations to enhance production and have transformed this into
one of the top producing gas fields in North America. We have drilled in excess of 5,000 wells in the Barnett
Shale since 2002, yet we still have several thousand remaining drilling locations. In 2014, we plan to drill
approximately 80 wells, focused in the areas with the highest liquids content.

In addition, we have a significant processing plant and gathering system in north Texas to service these
properties. Our Bridgeport plant is one of the largest processing plants in the U.S., currently with 790 MMcf per
day of total capacity. These midstream assets also include an extensive pipeline system and a 15 MBbls per day
NGL fractionator.

6

Mississippian-Woodford Trend – These properties represent some of our newest assets, with most of our
position acquired since 2011. Located in northern Oklahoma and southern Kansas, these acres target oil in the
Mississippian Lime and Woodford Shale. These areas are being explored and developed under our joint venture
arrangement with Sinopec and independently by us on the acreage outside of our area of mutual interest with
Sinopec. In 2014, we plan to drill approximately 230 wells.

Permian Basin – Our acreage is located in various counties in west Texas and southeast New Mexico. These

properties have been a legacy asset for us and continue to offer both exploration and low-risk development
opportunities. We entered into a joint venture arrangement with Sumitomo in 2012, covering approximately
650,000 net acres in the Cline Shale and Midland-Wolfcamp Shale, further strengthening the capital efficiency of
our exploration programs. In addition to the Cline and Wolfcamp Shale activity, our current drilling activity
continues to target conventional and non-conventional oil and liquids-rich gas targets within the Conventional
Delaware, Bone Spring, Midland-Wolfcamp, Wolfberry and Avalon Shale plays. In 2014, we plan to drill
approximately 350 wells.

Rockies – Our operations are focused in the Powder River basin in Wyoming where we have 150,000 net

acres. These acres are principally located in eastern Wyoming in the counties of Campbell, Converse and
Johnson. We are currently targeting several Cretaceous oil objectives, including the Turner, Frontier and
Parkman formations. To date we have identified roughly 600 risked locations across these three formations. Our
activity and associated capital in the Powder River basin is a part of our joint venture agreement with Sinopec
Corporation, under which we receive a drilling carry that funds a significant portion of our capital requirements
during the carry period. In 2014, we plan to drill roughly 25 wells in the Powder River Basin.

Canadian Heavy Oil – We are the first and only U.S.-based independent energy company to develop and
operate a bitumen oil sands project in Canada. We currently have two main projects, Jackfish and Pike, located in
Alberta, Canada. In addition, our Lloydminster properties are located to the south and east of Jackfish in eastern
Alberta and western Saskatchewan. Lloydminster produces heavy oil by conventional means, without the need
for steam injection.

Jackfish is our thermal heavy oil project in the non-conventional oil sands of east central Alberta. We are

employing steam-assisted gravity drainage at Jackfish. The first phase of Jackfish is fully operational with a
gross facility capacity of 35 MBbls per day. Jackfish production increased 8 percent in 2013 as the second phase
of Jackfish, which came on-line in the second quarter of 2011, continued to increase production. Construction of
a third phase began in 2012 with plant startup expected by year-end 2014. We expect each phase to maintain a
flat production profile for greater than 20 years at an average net production rate of approximately 25-30 MBbls
per day.

Our Pike oil sands acreage is situated directly to the southeast of our Jackfish acreage in east central Alberta

and has similar reservoir characteristics to Jackfish. The Pike leasehold is currently undeveloped and has no
proved reserves or production as of December 31, 2013. We filed a regulatory application in 2012 for the first
phase of this project, with gross capacity of 105 MBbls per day, in which we hold a 50 percent interest.

To facilitate the delivery of our heavy oil production, we have a 50 percent interest in the Access Pipeline
transportation system in Canada. This pipeline system allows us to blend our Jackfish, and eventually our Pike,
heavy oil production with condensate or other blend-stock and transport the combined product to the Edmonton
area for sale. The Access Pipeline system is currently undergoing a capacity expansion that we anticipate will be
completed in late 2014. This expansion is expected to create adequate capacity to transport our anticipated
Jackfish and Pike heavy oil production to the Edmonton market hub. Additionally, it will increase the transport
capacity of condensate diluent available at our thermal oil facilities.

Our Lloydminster region is well-developed with significant infrastructure and is primarily accessible year-
round for drilling. Lloydminster is a low-risk, high margin oil development play. We have drilled approximately
2,700 wells in the area since 2003. In 2014, we plan to drill approximately 175 wells.

7

Non-Core Properties

Our non-core properties are located throughout the U.S. and Canada and primarily consist of reservoirs that

produce dry natural gas. We are in the process of monetizing these assets through a divestiture program we
expect to complete by the end of 2014.

Proved Reserves

For estimates of our proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves and the discussion of the

contribution by each key property, see Note 22 to the financial statements included in “Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data” of this report.

No estimates of our proved reserves have been filed with or included in reports to any federal or foreign
governmental authority or agency since the beginning of 2013 except in filings with the SEC and the Department of
Energy (“DOE”). Reserve estimates filed with the SEC correspond with the estimates of our reserves contained
herein. Reserve estimates filed with the DOE are based upon the same underlying technical and economic
assumptions as the estimates of our reserves included herein. However, the DOE requires reports to include the
interests of all owners in wells that we operate and to exclude all interests in wells that we do not operate.

Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and
engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from known
reservoirs under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations. To be considered
proved, oil and gas reserves must be economically producible before contracts providing the right to operate
expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain. Also, the project to extract the hydrocarbons
must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a
reasonable time.

The process of estimating oil, gas and NGL reserves is complex and requires significant judgment as

discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this report. As a result, we have developed internal policies for
estimating and recording reserves. Such policies require proved reserves to be in compliance with the SEC
definitions and guidance. Our policies assign responsibilities for compliance in reserves bookings to our Reserve
Evaluation Group (the “Group”). These same policies also require that reserve estimates be made by
professionally qualified reserves estimators (“Qualified Estimators”), as defined by the Society of Petroleum
Engineers’ standards.

The Group, which is led by Devon’s Director of Reserves and Economics, is responsible for the internal
review and certification of reserves estimates. We ensure the Group’s Director and key members of the Group
have appropriate technical qualifications to oversee the preparation of reserves estimates, including any or all of
the following:

•

•

an undergraduate degree in petroleum engineering from an accredited university, or equivalent;

a petroleum engineering license, or similar certification;

• memberships in oil and gas industry or trade groups; and

•

relevant experience estimating reserves.

The current Director of the Group has all of the qualifications listed above. The current Director has been

involved with reserves estimation in accordance with SEC definitions and guidance since 1987. He has
experience in reserves estimation for projects in the U.S. (both onshore and offshore), as well as in Canada, Asia,
the Middle East and South America. He has been employed by Devon for the past thirteen years, including the
past five in his current position. During his career, he has been responsible for reserves estimation as the primary
reservoir engineer for projects including, but not limited to:

• Hugoton Gas Field (Kansas),

•

Sho-Vel-Tum CO2 Flood (Oklahoma),

8

• West Loco Hills Unit Waterflood and CO2 Flood (New Mexico),

• Dagger Draw Oil Field (New Mexico),

• Clarke Lake Gas Field (Alberta, Canada),

•

Panyu 4-2 and 5-1 Joint Development (Offshore South China Sea), and

• ACG Unit (Caspian Sea).

From 2003 to 2010, he served as the reservoir engineering representative on our internal peer review team.

In this role, he reviewed reserves and resource estimates for projects including, but not limited to, the Mobile
Bay Norphlet Discoveries (Gulf of Mexico Shelf), Cascade Lower Tertiary Development (Gulf of Mexico
Deepwater) and Polvo Development (Campos Basin, Brazil).

The Group reports independently of any of our operating divisions. The Group’s Director reports to our

Vice President of Budget and Reserves, who reports to our Chief Financial Officer. No portion of the Group’s
compensation is directly dependent on the quantity of reserves booked.

Throughout the year, the Group performs internal audits of each operating division’s reserves. Selection

criteria of reserves that are audited include major fields and major additions and revisions to reserves. In
addition, the Group reviews reserve estimates with each of the third-party petroleum consultants discussed
below. The Group also ensures our Qualified Estimators obtain continuing education related to the fundamentals
of SEC proved reserves assignments.

The Group also oversees audits and reserves estimates performed by third-party consulting firms. During
2013, we engaged two such firms to audit 91 percent of our proved reserves. LaRoche Petroleum Consultants,
Ltd. audited 92 percent of our 2013 U.S. reserves, and Deloitte audited 90 percent of our Canadian reserves.

“Audited” reserves are those quantities of reserves that were estimated by our employees and audited by an
independent petroleum consultant. The Society of Petroleum Engineers’ definition of an audit is an examination
of a company’s proved oil and gas reserves and net cash flow by an independent petroleum consultant that is
conducted for the purpose of expressing an opinion as to whether such estimates, in aggregate, are reasonable and
have been estimated and presented in conformity with generally accepted petroleum engineering and evaluation
methods and procedures.

In addition to conducting these internal and external reviews, we also have a Reserves Committee that
consists of three independent members of our Board of Directors. This committee provides additional oversight
of our reserves estimation and certification process. The Reserves Committee assists the Board of Directors with
its duties and responsibilities in evaluating and reporting our proved reserves, much like our Audit Committee
assists the Board of Directors in supervising our audit and financial reporting requirements. Besides being
independent, the members of our Reserves Committee also have educational backgrounds in geology or
petroleum engineering, as well as experience relevant to the reserves estimation process.

The Reserves Committee meets a minimum of twice a year to discuss reserves issues and policies, and
meets separately with our senior reserves engineering personnel and our independent petroleum consultants at
those meetings. The responsibilities of the Reserves Committee include the following:

•

•

•

•

approve the scope of and oversee an annual review and evaluation of our oil, gas and NGL reserves;

oversee the integrity of our reserves evaluation and reporting system;

oversee and evaluate our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements related to our reserves;

review the qualifications and independence of our independent engineering consultants; and

• monitor the performance of our independent engineering consultants.

(1) Estimated pre-tax future net revenue represents estimated future revenue to be generated from the

production of proved reserves, net of estimated production and development costs and site restoration and
abandonment charges. The amounts shown do not give effect to depreciation, depletion and amortization,
asset impairments or non-property related expenses such as debt service and income tax expense.

Pre-tax future net revenue and pre-tax 10 percent present value are non-GAAP measures. The present value
of after-tax future net revenues discounted at 10 percent per annum (“standardized measure”) was $15.7
billion at the end of 2013. Included as part of standardized measure were discounted future income taxes of
$5.6 billion. Excluding these taxes, the present value of our pre-tax future net revenue (“pre-tax 10 percent
present value”) was $21.3 billion. We believe the pre-tax 10 percent present value is a useful measure in
addition to the after-tax standardized measure. The pre-tax 10 percent present value assists in both the
determination of future cash flows of the current reserves as well as in making relative value comparisons
among peer companies. The after-tax standardized measure is dependent on the unique tax situation of each
individual company, while the pre-tax 10 percent present value is based on prices and discount factors,
which are more consistent from company to company.

The day-to-day operations of oil and gas properties are the responsibility of an operator designated under
pooling or operating agreements. The operator supervises production, maintains production records, employs

12

field personnel and performs other functions. We are the operator of approximately 24,000 of our wells. As
operator, we receive reimbursement for direct expenses incurred to perform our duties, as well as monthly per-
well producing and drilling overhead reimbursement at rates customarily charged in the area. In presenting our
financial data, we record the monthly overhead reimbursements as a reduction of general and administrative
expense, which is a common industry practice.

Acreage Statistics

The following table sets forth our developed and undeveloped lease and mineral acreage as of December 31,
2013. The acreage in the table includes 0.7 million, 1.4 million and 0.6 million net acres subject to leases that are
scheduled to expire during 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. Approximately 18 MMBoe, or 2.5 percent, of our
proved undeveloped reserves was attributable to this expiring acreage as of December 31, 2013. Of the
2.7 million net acres set to expire by December 31, 2016, we will perform operational and administrative actions
to continue the lease terms for a portion of the acreage, including all the acreage for which we have proved
undeveloped reserves at the end of 2013. However, we do expect to allow a portion of the acreage to expire in the
normal course of business. In 2013, we allowed approximately 50% of our expiring acreage to expire.

Title to Properties

Title to properties is subject to contractual arrangements customary in the oil and gas industry, liens for
taxes not yet due and, in some instances, other encumbrances. We believe that such burdens do not materially
detract from the value of properties or from the respective interests therein or materially interfere with their use
in the operation of the business.

As is customary in the industry, other than a preliminary review of local records, little investigation of
record title is made at the time of acquisitions of undeveloped properties. Investigations, which generally include
a title opinion of outside counsel, are made prior to the consummation of an acquisition of producing properties
and before commencement of drilling operations on undeveloped properties.

Marketing and Midstream Activities

Our marketing and midstream operations provide gathering, compression, treating, processing, fractionation

and marketing services to us and other third parties. We generate revenues from these operations by collecting
service fees and selling processed gas and NGLs. The expenses associated with these operations primarily consist
of the costs to operate our gathering systems, plants and related facilities, as well as purchases of gas and NGLs.

Oil, Gas and NGL Marketing

The spot markets for oil, gas and NGLs are subject to volatility as supply and demand factors fluctuate. As

detailed below, we sell our production under both long-term (one year or more) and short-term (less than one
year) agreements at prices negotiated with third parties. Regardless of the term of the contract, the vast majority
of our production is sold at variable, or market-sensitive, prices.

13

Additionally, we may periodically enter into financial hedging arrangements or fixed-price contracts
associated with a portion of our oil, gas and NGL production. These activities are intended to support targeted
price levels and to manage our exposure to price fluctuations. See Note 2 to the financial statements included in
“Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this report for further information.

We expect to fulfill our delivery commitments over the next three years with production from our proved

developed reserves. We expect to fulfill our longer-term delivery commitments beyond three years primarily
with our proved developed reserves. In certain regions, we expect to fulfill these longer-term delivery
commitments with our proved undeveloped reserves.

Our proved reserves have been sufficient to satisfy our delivery commitments during the three most recent

years, and we expect such reserves will continue to satisfy our future commitments. However, should our proved
reserves not be sufficient to satisfy our delivery commitments, we can and may use spot market purchases to
fulfill the commitments.

Customers

During 2013, 2012 and 2011, no purchaser accounted for over 10 percent of our operating revenues.

See “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Public Policy and Government Regulation

The oil and natural gas industry is subject to regulation throughout the world. Laws, rules, regulations,
taxes, fees and other policy implementation actions affecting the oil and natural gas industry have been pervasive
and are under constant review for amendment or expansion. Numerous government agencies have issued
extensive laws and regulations which are binding on the oil and natural gas industry and its individual members,
some of which carry substantial penalties for failure to comply. These laws and regulations increase the cost of
doing business and consequently affect profitability. Because public policy changes are commonplace, and

14

existing laws and regulations are frequently amended, we are unable to predict the future cost or impact of
compliance. However, we do not expect that any of these laws and regulations will affect our operations
differently than they would affect other oil and natural gas companies of similar size and financial strength. The
following are significant areas of government control and regulation affecting our operations.

Exploration and Production Regulation

Our oil and gas operations are subject to federal, state, provincial, tribal and local laws and regulations.

These laws and regulations relate to matters that include:

•

•

acquisition of seismic data;

location, drilling and casing of wells;

• well design;

•

hydraulic fracturing;

• well production;

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

spill prevention plans;

emissions and discharge permitting;

use, transportation, storage and disposal of fluids and materials incidental to oil and gas operations;

surface usage and the restoration of properties upon which wells have been drilled;

calculation and disbursement of royalty payments and production taxes;

plugging and abandoning of wells;

transportation of production; and

endangered species and habitat.

Our operations also are subject to conservation regulations, including the regulation of the size of drilling

and spacing units or proration units; the number of wells that may be drilled in a unit; the rate of production
allowable from oil and gas wells; and the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties. In the U.S., some states
allow the forced pooling or integration of tracts to facilitate exploration, while other states rely on voluntary
pooling of lands and leases, which may make it more difficult to develop oil and gas properties. In addition, state
conservation laws generally limit the venting or flaring of natural gas and impose certain requirements regarding
the ratable purchase of production. These regulations limit the amounts of oil and gas we can produce from our
wells and the number of wells or the locations at which we can drill.

Certain of our U.S. natural gas and oil leases are granted by the federal government and administered by the

Bureau of Land Management of the Department of the Interior. Such leases require compliance with detailed
federal regulations and orders that regulate, among other matters, drilling and operations on lands covered by
these leases, and calculation and disbursement of royalty payments to the federal government. The federal
government has been particularly active in recent years in evaluating and, in some cases, promulgating new rules
and regulations regarding competitive lease bidding and royalty payment obligations for production from federal
lands.

Royalties and Incentives in Canada

The royalty system in Canada is a significant factor in the profitability of oil and gas production. Royalties

payable on production from lands other than Crown lands are determined by negotiations between the parties.
Crown royalties are determined by government regulation and are generally calculated as a percentage of the
value of the gross production, with the royalty rate dependent in part upon prescribed reference prices, well

15

productivity, geographical location and the type and quality of the petroleum product produced. Occasionally, the
federal and provincial governments of Canada also have established incentive programs, such as royalty rate
reductions, royalty holidays, and tax credits, for the purpose of encouraging oil and gas exploration or enhanced
recovery projects. These incentives generally increase our revenues, earnings and cash flow.

Marketing in Canada

Any oil or gas export that exceeds a certain duration or a certain quantity requires an exporter to obtain
export authorizations from Canada’s National Energy Board. The governments of Alberta, British Columbia and
Saskatchewan also regulate the volume of natural gas that may be removed from those provinces for
consumption elsewhere.

Environmental and Occupational Regulations

We are subject to many federal, state, provincial, tribal and local laws and regulations concerning

occupational safety and health as well as the discharge of materials into, and the protection of, the environment.
Environmental laws and regulations relate to:

•

•

•

•

•

assessing the environmental impact of seismic acquisition, drilling or construction activities;

the generation, storage, transportation and disposal of waste materials;

the emission of certain gases into the atmosphere;

the monitoring, abandonment, reclamation and remediation of well and other sites, including sites of
former operations; and

the development of emergency response and spill contingency plans.

We consider the costs of environmental protection and safety and health compliance necessary yet
manageable parts of our business. We have been able to plan for and comply with environmental, safety and
health initiatives without materially altering our operating strategy or incurring significant unreimbursed
expenditures. However, based on regulatory trends and increasingly stringent laws, our capital expenditures and
operating expenses related to the protection of the environment and safety and health compliance have increased
over the years and will likely continue to increase. We cannot predict with any reasonable degree of certainty our
future exposure concerning such matters.

16

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business activities, and the oil and gas industry in general, are subject to a variety of risks. If any of the

following risk factors should occur, our profitability, financial condition or liquidity could be materially
impacted. As a result, holders of our securities could lose part or all of their investment in Devon.

Oil, Gas and NGL Prices are Volatile

Our financial results are highly dependent on the general supply and demand for oil, gas and NGLs, which
impact the prices we ultimately realize on our sales of these commodities. A significant downward movement of
the prices for these commodities could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, operating cash flows and
profitability. Such a downward price movement could also have a material adverse effect on our estimated
proved reserves, the carrying value of our oil and gas properties, the level of planned drilling activities and future
growth. Historically, market prices and our realized prices have been volatile and are likely to continue to be
volatile in the future due to numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:

•

•

supply of and consumer demand for oil, gas and NGLs;

conservation efforts;

• OPEC production levels;

• weather;

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

regional pricing differentials;

differing quality of oil produced (i.e., sweet crude versus heavy or sour crude);

differing quality and NGL content of gas produced;

the level of imports and exports of oil, gas and NGLs;

the price and availability of alternative fuels;

the overall economic environment; and

governmental regulations and taxes.

Estimates of Oil, Gas and NGL Reserves are Uncertain

The process of estimating oil, gas and NGL reserves is complex and requires significant judgment in the

evaluation of available geological, engineering and economic data for each reservoir, particularly for new
discoveries. Because of the high degree of judgment involved, different reserve engineers may develop different
estimates of reserve quantities and related revenue based on the same data. In addition, the reserve estimates for a
given reservoir may change substantially over time as a result of several factors including additional
development activity, the viability of production under varying economic conditions and variations in production
levels and associated costs. Consequently, material revisions to existing reserve estimates may occur as a result
of changes in any of these factors. Such revisions to proved reserves could have a material adverse effect on our
estimates of future net revenue, as well as our financial condition and profitability. Our policies and internal
controls related to estimating and recording reserves are included in “Items 1 and 2. Business and Properties” of
this report.

Discoveries or Acquisitions of Reserves are Needed to Avoid a Material Decline in Reserves and
Production

The production rates from oil and gas properties generally decline as reserves are depleted, while related per

unit production costs generally increase, due to decreasing reservoir pressures and other factors. Therefore, our
estimated proved reserves and future oil, gas and NGL production will decline materially as reserves are
produced unless we conduct successful exploration and development activities or, through engineering studies,

17

identify additional producing zones in existing wells, secondary or tertiary recovery techniques, or acquire
additional properties containing proved reserves. Consequently, our future oil, gas and NGL production and
related per unit production costs are highly dependent upon our level of success in finding or acquiring additional
reserves.

Future Exploration and Drilling Results are Uncertain and Involve Substantial Costs

Substantial costs are often required to locate and acquire properties and drill exploratory wells. Such

activities are subject to numerous risks, including the risk that we will not encounter commercially productive oil
or gas reservoirs. The costs of drilling and completing wells are often uncertain. In addition, oil and gas
properties can become damaged or drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of a
variety of factors including, but not limited to:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

unexpected drilling conditions;

pressure or irregularities in reservoir formations;

equipment failures or accidents;

fires, explosions, blowouts and surface cratering;

adverse weather conditions;

lack of access to pipelines or other transportation methods;

environmental hazards or liabilities; and

shortages or delays in the availability of services or delivery of equipment.

A significant occurrence of one of these factors could result in a partial or total loss of our investment in a
particular property. In addition, drilling activities may not be successful in establishing proved reserves. Such a
failure could have an adverse effect on our future results of operations and financial condition. While both
exploratory and developmental drilling activities involve these risks, exploratory drilling involves greater risks of
dry holes or failure to find commercial quantities of hydrocarbons.

Competition for Leases, Materials, People and Capital Can Be Significant

Strong competition exists in all sectors of the oil and gas industry. We compete with major integrated and
independent oil and gas companies for the acquisition of oil and gas leases and properties. We also compete for
the equipment and personnel required to explore, develop and operate properties. Competition is also prevalent in
the marketing of oil, gas and NGLs. Typically, during times of high or rising commodity prices, drilling and
operating costs will also increase. Higher prices will also generally increase the cost to acquire properties.
Certain of our competitors have financial and other resources substantially larger than ours. They also may have
established strategic long-term positions and relationships in areas in which we may seek new entry. As a
consequence, we may be at a competitive disadvantage in bidding for drilling rights. In addition, many of our
larger competitors may have a competitive advantage when responding to factors that affect demand for oil and
gas production, such as changing worldwide price and production levels, the cost and availability of alternative
fuels, and the application of government regulations.

Midstream Capacity Constraints and Interruptions Impact Commodity Sales

We rely on midstream facilities and systems to process our natural gas production and to transport our
production to downstream markets. Such midstream systems include the systems we operate, as well as systems
operated by third parties. When possible, we gain access to midstream systems that provide the most
advantageous downstream market prices available to us. Regardless of who operates the midstream systems we
rely upon, a portion of our production in any region may be interrupted or shut in from time to time due to loss of
access to plants, pipelines or gathering systems. Such access could be lost due to a number of factors, including,

18

but not limited to, weather conditions, accidents, field labor issues or strikes. Additionally, we and third-parties
may be subject to constraints that limit our ability to construct, maintain or repair midstream facilities needed to
process and transport our production. Such interruptions or constraints could negatively impact our production
and associated profitability.

Hedging Limits Participation in Commodity Price Increases and Increases Counterparty Credit Risk
Exposure

We periodically enter into hedging activities with respect to a portion of our production to manage our
exposure to oil, gas and NGL price volatility. To the extent that we engage in price risk management activities to
protect ourselves from commodity price declines, we may be prevented from fully realizing the benefits of
commodity price increases above the prices established by our hedging contracts. In addition, our hedging
arrangements may expose us to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances, including instances in which
the contract counterparties fail to perform under the contracts.

Public Policy, Which Includes Laws, Rules and Regulations, Can Change

Our operations are generally subject to federal laws, rules and regulations in the United States and Canada.

In addition, we are also subject to the laws and regulations of various states, provinces, tribal and local
governments. Pursuant to public policy changes, numerous government departments and agencies have issued
extensive rules and regulations binding on the oil and gas industry and its individual members, some of which
require substantial compliance costs and carry substantial penalties for failure to comply. Changes in such public
policy have affected, and at times in the future could affect, our operations. Political developments can restrict
production levels, enact price controls, change environmental protection requirements, and increase taxes,
royalties and other amounts payable to governments or governmental agencies. Existing laws and regulations can
also require us to incur substantial costs to maintain regulatory compliance. Our operating and other compliance
costs could increase further if existing laws and regulations are revised or reinterpreted or if new laws and
regulations become applicable to our operations. Although we are unable to predict changes to existing laws and
regulations, such changes could significantly impact our profitability, financial condition and liquidity,
particularly changes related to hydraulic fracturing, income taxes and climate change as discussed below.

Hydraulic Fracturing – The Bureau of Land Management is considering the possibility of additional
regulation of hydraulic fracturing on federal and Indian lands. Currently, regulation of hydraulic fracturing is
conducted primarily at the state level through permitting and other compliance requirements. We lease federal
and Indian lands and would be affected by the Interior Department proposal if it were to become law.

Income Taxes – We are subject to federal, state, provincial and local income taxes and our operating cash
flow is sensitive to the amount of income taxes we must pay. In the jurisdictions in which we operate, income
taxes are assessed on our earnings after consideration of all allowable deductions and credits. Changes in the
types of earnings that are subject to income tax, the types of costs that are considered allowable deductions or the
rates assessed on our taxable earnings would all impact our income taxes and resulting operating cash flow.
Recently, the United States President and other policy makers have proposed provisions that would, if enacted,
make significant changes to United States tax laws applicable to us. The most significant change to our business
would eliminate the immediate deduction for intangible drilling and development costs. Such a change could
have a material adverse effect on our profitability, financial condition and liquidity.

Climate Change – Policymakers in the United States and Canada are increasingly focusing on whether the

emissions of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, are contributing to harmful climatic
changes. Policymakers at both the United States federal and state levels have introduced legislation and proposed
new regulations that are designed to quantify and limit the emission of greenhouse gases through inventories,
limitations and/or taxes on greenhouse gas emissions. Legislative initiatives and discussions to date have focused

19

on the development of cap-and-trade and/or carbon tax programs. A cap-and-trade program generally would cap
overall greenhouse gas emissions on an economy-wide basis and require major sources of greenhouse gas
emissions or major fuel producers to acquire and surrender emission allowances. Cap-and-trade programs could
be relevant to us and our operations in several ways. First, the equipment we use to explore for, develop, produce
and process oil and natural gas emits greenhouse gases. We could therefore be subject to caps, and penalties if
emissions exceeded the caps. Second, the combustion of carbon-based fuels, such as the oil, gas and NGLs we
sell, emits carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Therefore, demand for our products could be reduced by
imposition of caps and penalties on our customers. Carbon taxes could likewise affect us by being based on
emissions from our equipment and/or emissions resulting from use of our products by our customers. Of
overriding significance would be the point of regulation or taxation. Application of caps or taxes on companies
such as Devon, based on carbon content of produced oil and gas volumes rather than on consumer emissions,
could lead to penalties, fees or tax assessments for which there are no mechanisms to pass them through the
distribution and consumption chain where fuel use or conservation choices are made. Moreover, because oil and
natural gas are used as chemical feedstocks and not solely as fossil fuel, applying a carbon tax to oil and gas at
the production stage would be excessive with respect to actual carbon emissions from petroleum fuels.

Environmental Matters and Costs Can Be Significant

As an owner, lessee or operator of oil and gas properties, we are subject to various federal, state, provincial,

tribal and local laws and regulations relating to discharge of materials into, and protection of, the environment.
These laws and regulations may, among other things, impose liability on us for the cost of pollution clean-up
resulting from our operations in affected areas. Any future environmental costs of fulfilling our commitments to
the environment are uncertain and will be governed by several factors, including future changes to regulatory
requirements. There is no assurance that changes in or additions to public policy regarding the protection of the
environment will not have a significant impact on our operations and profitability.

Insurance Does Not Cover All Risks

Our business is hazardous and is subject to all of the operating risks normally associated with the
exploration, development, production, processing and transportation of oil, natural gas and NGLs. Such risks
include potential blowouts, cratering, fires, loss of well control, mishandling of fluids and chemicals and possible
underground migration of hydrocarbons and chemicals. The occurrence of any of these risks could result in
environmental pollution, damage to or destruction of our property, equipment and natural resources, injury to
people or loss of life. Additionally, for our non-operated properties, we generally depend on the operator for
operational safety and regulatory compliance.

To mitigate financial losses resulting from these operational hazards, we maintain comprehensive general
liability insurance, as well as insurance coverage against certain losses resulting from physical damages, loss of
well control, business interruption and pollution events that are considered sudden and accidental. We also
maintain worker’s compensation and employer’s liability insurance. However, our insurance coverage does not
provide 100 percent reimbursement of potential losses resulting from these operational hazards. Additionally,
insurance coverage is generally not available to us for pollution events that are considered gradual, and we have
limited or no insurance coverage for certain risks such as political risk, war and terrorism. Our insurance does not
cover penalties or fines assessed by governmental authorities. The occurrence of a significant event against
which we are not fully insured could have a material adverse effect on our profitability, financial condition and
liquidity.

Limited Control on Properties Operated by Others

Certain of the properties in which we have an interest are operated by other companies and involve third-
party working interest owners. We have limited influence and control over the operation or future development
of such properties, including compliance with environmental, health and safety regulations or the amount of

20

required future capital expenditures. These limitations and our dependence on the operator and other working
interest owners for these properties could result in unexpected future costs and adversely affect our financial
condition and results of operations.

Cyber Attacks Targeting Our Systems and Infrastructure May Adversely Impact Our Operations

The oil and gas industry has become increasingly dependent on digital technologies to conduct daily
operations. Concurrently, the industry has become the subject of increased levels of cyber attack activity. Cyber
attacks often attempt to gain unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or
sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption and may be carried out by third parties
or insiders. The techniques utilized range from highly sophisticated efforts to electronically circumvent network
security to more traditional intelligence gathering and social engineering aimed at obtaining information
necessary to gain access. Cyber attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining
unauthorized access, such as by causing denial-of-service attacks. Although we have not suffered material losses
related to cyber attacks, if we were successfully attacked we may incur substantial remediation and other costs or
suffer other negative consequences. Finally, as the sophistication of cyber attacks continues to evolve, we may be
required to expend significant additional resources to further enhance our digital security or to remediate
vulnerabilities.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

The following discussion and analysis presents management’s perspective of our business, financial
condition and overall performance. This information is intended to provide investors with an understanding of
our past performance, current financial condition and outlook for the future and should be read in conjunction
with “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this report.

Overview of 2013 Results

As an enterprise, we strive to optimize value for our shareholders by growing cash flow, earnings,
production and reserves, all on a per debt-adjusted share basis. We accomplish this by executing our strategy,
which is outlined in “Items 1 and 2. Business and Properties” of this report.

2013 was another year of strong execution and exciting change for Devon. Our oil-focused drilling
programs not only accomplished impressive oil production growth, but also expanded margins and improved
operating cash flow. Additionally, we took steps to high-grade our portfolio. We did this by announcing an
accretive Eagle Ford Shale acquisition, an innovative midstream combination, and the initiation of an asset
divestiture program. These actions will provide the platform from which we will deliver outstanding high-margin
growth in 2014 and for many years to come.

Key measures of our 2013 performance are summarized below, which exclude amounts from our

discontinued operations.

(1) Adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share and adjusted operating cash flow are not financial measures

prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). For a
description of adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share and adjusted operating cash flow as well as

(3)

Our 2013 net loss resulted from noncash asset impairments, which reduced our earnings by $2.0 billion
($1.4 billion after tax). Excluding the asset impairments and other items typically excluded by securities analysts,
our adjusted earnings were $1.7 billion, or $4.26 per diluted share. This compares to adjusted earnings of $1.3
billion, or $3.22 per diluted share in 2012.

25

Our 2013 adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share and adjusted operating income per Boe all
increased compared to 2012. The improved 2013 results were driven primarily by increases in gas prices, oil
volumes and oil realizations. These factors also contributed to higher adjusted operating cash flow, which
combined with a reduction in capitalized costs, caused our cash flow deficit to narrow considerably in 2013.

Business and Industry Outlook

North American crude oil and natural gas prices have historically been volatile based on supply and demand

dynamics and we expect this volatility to continue into 2014. Although natural gas prices improved in 2013
compared to 2012, natural gas continues to be challenged due to an imbalance between supply and demand
across North America. However, arctic air movements across North America during the early weeks of 2014
have caused natural gas demand to surge. As storage inventories have significantly declined in response to the
recent weather conditions, natural gas prices have surpassed $5 per Mcf for the first time since the summer of
2010. Further helping demand, new uses of natural gas in industrial, power and other sectors will continue to help
support price dynamics. Nevertheless, we still expect natural gas prices to be range-bound as natural gas supply
continues to grow, particularly in the U.S. Looking to 2014, we expect natural gas prices will remain relatively
consistent or possibly increase moderately from 2013 levels.

Similar to natural gas in recent years, a surge in the supply of natural gas liquids has kept prices challenged.
The majority of our natural gas is comprised of ethane, one of the most price-challenged liquids processed from
the natural gas stream. We expect 2014 natural gas liquids prices will be range-bound and remain relatively flat
compared to 2013.

Crude oil prices remained relatively stable throughout 2013, and oil continues to be more valuable than

natural gas on a relative energy-equivalent basis. As a result, we and other producers have been focused on
growing oil production. North American crude oil supply continues to increase due to the continued use of
horizontal drilling technology throughout the U.S. and expansions of heavy oil production operations primarily in
Canada. Global crude oil demand is expected to grow with supply in 2014. As crude oil supply grows,
transportation capacity to downstream markets will be increasingly important. Bottlenecks and other
transportation limitations may continue to add volatility among U.S. and Canadian grades of oil. However, we
expect 2014 oil prices will remain relatively consistent with 2013.

We exited 2013 with a production profile comprised of roughly 55 percent natural gas, 25 percent oil, and
20 percent natural gas liquids. Recognizing the relative value of crude oil, we are devoting the vast majority of
our 2014 capital investment toward growing our oil production, particularly the sweet grades of oil found in the
U.S. To make a significant shift in our production profile, we expect to complete a $6 billion acquisition of Eagle
Ford Shale assets in the first quarter of 2014 and divest non-core, dry natural gas assets throughout 2014. Once
these transactions are complete, we expect oil will represent more than 30 percent of our production profile.

Further enhancing the value of our assets, we are combining substantially all of our U.S. midstream assets

with Crosstex Energy, Inc.’s and Crosstex Energy, L.P.’s assets to form a new midstream business. The new
business will consist of EnLink Midstream Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) and EnLink Midstream, LLC
(“EnLink”), a master limited partnership and a general partner entity, which will both be publicly traded entities.
The new midstream business will own Devon’s midstream assets in the Barnett Shale in north Texas and the
Cana and Arkoma Woodford Shales in Oklahoma, as well as Devon’s economic interest in Gulf Coast
Fractionators in Mt. Belvieu, Texas. Devon will own a 70 percent controlling interest in EnLink and an
approximate 53 percent controlling interest in the Partnership.

Volumes 2013 vs. 2012 – Upstream sales increased $625 million due to a 15 percent increase in our liquids
production, partially offset by a 7 percent decline in our gas production. Oil production was the largest driver of
the increase, accounting for 85 percent of the higher sales. Largely due to continued development of our
properties in the Permian Basin, the Mississippian-Woodford Trend and the Anadarko Basin, our oil sales
increased $531 million. Bitumen sales increased $65 million due to development of our Jackfish thermal heavy
oil projects in Canada. Additionally, our NGL sales increased $181 million as a result of continued drilling in the
liquids-rich gas portions of the Barnett Shale and the Anadarko Basin. These increases were partially offset by a
7 percent decrease in our 2013 gas production, resulting in a $152 million decline in sales.

Volumes 2012 vs. 2011 – Upstream sales increased $695 million due to a 4 percent increase in production.

Oil and bitumen production were the largest drivers of the increase, accounting for nearly 90 percent of the
higher sales. As a result of continued development of our liquids-rich properties in the Permian Basin, our oil

28

sales increased $337 million. Bitumen sales increased $273 million due to development of our Jackfish thermal
heavy oil projects in Canada. Additionally, our NGL sales increased $137 million as a result of continued drilling
in the liquids-rich gas portions of the Barnett Shale and the Anadarko Basin. These increases were partially offset
by a slight decrease in our 2012 gas production, resulting in a $52 million decline in sales.

Prices 2013 vs. 2012 – Upstream sales increased $744 million due to an 18 percent increase in our realized
price without hedges. Our gas sales were the most significantly impacted with a $639 million increase in sales.
The change in our gas price was largely due to higher North American regional index prices upon which our gas
sales are based. Our liquid sales increased $105 million due to higher oil and bitumen sales partially offset by
lower NGL sales. The largest contributors to the higher liquids prices were an increase in the average NYMEX
West Texas Intermediate index price and a slightly higher bitumen realized price, partially offset by lower NGL
prices at the Mont Belvieu, Texas hub.

Prices 2012 vs. 2011 – Upstream sales decreased $1.9 billion due to a 17 percent decrease in our realized
price without hedges. Our gas sales were the most significantly impacted with a $1.1 billion decrease in sales.
The change in our gas price was largely due to fluctuations of the North American regional index prices upon
which our gas sales are based. We also experienced declines in our NGL, bitumen and oil sales due to our
realized price. The largest contributors to the lower liquids prices were lower NGL prices at the Mont Belvieu,
Texas hub and wider bitumen differentials.

Cash settlements as presented in the tables above represent realized gains or losses related to these various

instruments. A summary of our open commodity derivative positions is included in Note 2 to the financial
statements included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this report. Our oil, gas and
NGL derivatives include price swaps, costless collars, basis swaps and call options. To facilitate a portion of our
price swaps, we sold gas and oil call options for 2014 through 2016. The call options give counterparties the right
to purchase production at a predetermined price.

In addition to cash settlements, we also recognize fair value changes on our oil, gas and NGL derivative
instruments in each reporting period. The changes in fair value resulted from new positions and settlements that
occurred during each period, as well as the relationships between contract prices and the associated forward
curves. Including the cash settlements discussed above, our oil, gas and NGL derivatives incurred net losses of
$191 million in 2013 and generated net gains of $693 million and $881 million during 2012 and 2011,
respectively.

2013 vs. 2012 Marketing and midstream operating profit increased $104 million, or 25 percent, from the

year ended December 31, 2012 to the year ended December 31, 2013.

Our profit largely increased due to the effects of pricing and marketing activities. Our profit increased
nearly $40 million due to our NGL and gas marketing. Additionally, changes in pricing led to an increase in
operating profit of approximately $32 million. Higher residue natural gas prices were the primary contributor to
the higher profit.

Higher gathering and processing volumes were responsible for an increase in operating profit of $21
million. Higher volumes were primarily the result of NGL production. The increase was largely driven by higher
inlet volumes at the Cana processing facility, improved efficiencies at the Cana and Bridgeport processing
facilities and downtime impacting our Bridgeport processing facility in 2012.

30

Operations and maintenance expenses decreased $11 million, or 6 percent primarily due to expenditures for

regulatory testing in 2012.

2012 vs. 2011 Marketing and midstream operating profit decreased $124 million, or 23 percent, from the

year ended December 31, 2011 to the year ended December 31, 2012.

Our profit largely decreased due to the effects of pricing and marketing activities. Changes in pricing led to
a decrease in operating profit of approximately $106 million. Lower residue natural gas and NGL prices were the
primary contributor to the lower profit. Additionally, our profit decreased $13 million primarily due to lower
profits on our NGL marketing.

Higher gathering, processing and transportation volumes were responsible for an increase in operating profit

of $11 million. Higher volumes were primarily the result of additional throughput at Bridgeport and Cana
gathering.

Operations and maintenance expenses increased $16 million, or 9 percent primarily due to expenditures for

regulatory testing in 2012.

2013 vs. 2012 LOE increased $0.67 per Boe largely because of our liquids production growth, particularly

in the Permian Basin and the Mississippian-Woodford Trend in the U.S. These projects generally require a higher
per unit cost than our gas projects, particularly because they are in the early stages of development. Additionally,
we conducted a turnaround at Jackfish 2 in the third quarter of 2013, contributing to higher unit costs in 2013.
We also experienced inflationary pressures on costs in certain operating areas, which increased LOE per Boe.

2012 vs. 2011 LOE increased $0.59 per Boe largely because of our oil production growth, particularly at our

Jackfish thermal heavy oil projects in Canada and in the Permian Basin in the U.S. We also experienced
inflationary pressures on costs in certain operating areas, which increased LOE per Boe.

2013 vs. 2012 Net G&A and net G&A per Boe decreased largely due to lower personnel expenses and office

rent as a result of the Houston office consolidation in 2012 and lower costs as a result of the company-wide
implementation of SAP in Q2 2012. Higher reimbursements due to increased liquids drilling activity and
reimbursement rates also contributed to the decrease in net G&A and net G&A per Boe.

2012 vs. 2011 Net G&A and net G&A per Boe increased largely due to higher employee compensation and
benefits. Employee costs increased primarily from an expansion of our workforce as part of growing production
operations at certain of our key areas, including Jackfish, the Permian Basin and the Anadarko Basin.

A description of how DD&A of our oil and gas properties is calculated is included in Note 1 to the financial

statements included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this report. Generally, when
reserve volumes are revised up or down, then the DD&A rate per unit of production will change inversely.
However, when the depletable base changes, then the DD&A rate moves in the same direction. The per unit
DD&A rate 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.

32

2013 vs. 2012 Oil and gas property DD&A decreased $61 million largely as a result of the asset impairment

charges recognized in 2012 and 2013. Depreciation and amortization on our other properties increased $30
million largely from the construction of our new headquarters in Oklahoma City and natural gas pipeline
development in the Cana-Woodford Shale.

2012 vs. 2011 Oil and gas property DD&A increased $460 million due to a 22 percent increase in the
DD&A rate and $79 million due to our 4 percent increase in production. The largest contributors to the higher
rate were our 2012 drilling and development activities.

Under the full cost method of accounting, capitalized costs of oil and gas properties are subject to a

quarterly full cost ceiling test, which is discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements under “Item 8.
Consolidated Financial Statements” of this report.

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

Midstream Impairments

Due to declining natural gas production resulting from low natural gas and NGL prices, we determined that

the carrying amounts of certain of our midstream facilities were not recoverable from estimated future cash
flows. Consequently, the assets were written down to their estimated fair values, which were determined using
discounted cash flow models.

2013 vs. 2012 Net financing costs increased primarily due to additional debt borrowings and associated fees,

partially offset by lower weighted average interest rates and higher capitalized interest. Borrowings were
primarily used to fund capital expenditures in excess of our operating cash flow and to provide funding for our
planned Eagle Ford Shale acquisition that is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014.

(1) Restructuring costs related to our discontinued operations totaled $(2) million in 2011. These costs primarily
consist of employee severance and are not included in the table. There were no costs related to discontinued
operations in 2013 or 2012.

Office Consolidation

In October 2012, we announced plans to consolidate our U.S. personnel into a single operations group
centrally located at our corporate headquarters in Oklahoma City. As a result, we closed our office in Houston,
transferred operational responsibilities for assets in south Texas, east Texas and Louisiana to Oklahoma City and
incurred $134 million of restructuring costs associated with the consolidation.

Employee severance and retention – As of December 31, 2013, we had incurred $90 million of employee

severance and retention costs associated with the office consolidation. This included amounts related to cash
severance costs and accelerated vesting of share-based grants.

Lease obligations and other – As of December 31, 2013, we had incurred $28 million of restructuring costs

related to certain office space that is subject to non-cancellable operating lease agreements and that we ceased
using as a part of the office consolidation. Our estimate of lease obligations was based upon certain key estimates
that could change over the term of the leases. These estimates include the estimated sublease income that we may
receive over the term of the leases, as well as the amount of variable operating costs that we will be required to
pay under the leases.

Divestiture of Offshore Assets

In the fourth quarter of 2009, we announced plans to divest our offshore assets. As of December 31, 2012,

we had divested all of our U.S. Offshore and International assets and incurred $196 million of restructuring costs
associated with the divestitures.

Pursuant to the completed and planned divestitures of our International assets located outside North
America, a portion of our foreign earnings had been deemed to no longer be indefinitely reinvested. As of
December 31, 2012, we had recognized a $936 million deferred income tax liability related to assumed
repatriations of earnings from our foreign subsidiaries, including $725 million of deferred income tax expense
recognized in 2011.

In the second and fourth quarters of 2013, we repatriated to the U. S. a total of $4.3 billion of our cash held

outside of the U. S. In the fourth quarter of 2013, we announced plans to divest of our Canadian non-core
properties. These events resulted in incremental income tax expense of $97 million. The incremental expense
included $180 million of current income tax expense offset by $83 million of deferred income tax benefit. The
$83 million deferred tax benefit was comprised of $180 million of deferred tax benefits that offset the
incremental current income tax expense and an additional $97 million of deferred income tax expense accrued in
the fourth quarter for assumed repatriations.

In 2013, our state income tax rate is higher than 2012 and 2011 primarily due to the relatively small amount
of pre-tax income, resulting from pre-tax income for the U.S. partially offset by a pre-tax loss for Canada. Also,
in the table above, the “other” effect is primarily comprised of permanent tax differences for which the dollar
amounts do not increase or decrease as our pre-tax earnings do. Generally, such items typically have an
insignificant impact on our effective income tax rate. However, these items have a more noticeable impact to our
rate for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, because of the relatively small pre-tax
income/loss for those periods. For 2013 “other” was comprised primarily of tax audit adjustments and a
favorable tax impact due to acquisition financing.

The earnings (loss) in each period were primarily driven by gains (losses) on the sales of our oil and gas

assets in each period. In 2012 we incurred a loss of $16 million ($21 million net of taxes) for the sale of our
assets in Angola. In 2011 we generated a gain of $2.5 billion ($2.5 billion net of taxes) for the sale of our assets
in Brazil.

Operating Cash Flow – Continuing Operations

Net cash provided by operating activities (“operating cash flow”) continued to be a significant source of

capital and liquidity in 2013. Our operating cash flow increased 10 percent during 2013 primarily due to higher
commodity prices and production growth, partially offset by higher expenses. Our operating cash flow decreased
21 percent during 2012 primarily due to lower commodity prices and higher expenses, partially offset by
additional cash flow from our production growth and higher cash settlements from our commodity derivatives.

During 2013 our operating cash flow funded approximately 80 percent of our cash payments for capital
expenditures. Leveraging our liquidity, we used cash balances, short-term debt and divestiture proceeds to fund
the remainder of our cash-based capital expenditures.

Our capital expenditures consist of amounts related to our oil and gas exploration and development

operations, our midstream operations and other corporate activities. The vast majority of our capital expenditures
are for the acquisition, drilling and development of oil and gas properties, which totaled $6.0 billion, $7.4 billion
and $6.9 billion in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The 20 percent decline in exploration, development and
acquisition capital spending in 2013 was primarily due to a decline in new venture acreage acquisitions and
utilization of the drilling carries in 2013 from our Sinopec and Sumitomo joint venture arrangements. The higher
exploration and development capital spending in 2012 and 2011 was primarily due to new venture acreage
acquisitions and increased drilling and development. With rising oil prices and proceeds from our offshore
divestitures, we increased our onshore North American acreage positions and associated exploration and
development activities to drive near-term growth of our oil production.

Capital expenditures for our midstream operations are primarily for the construction and expansion of
natural gas processing plants, natural gas gathering systems and oil pipelines. Our midstream capital expenditures
are largely impacted by oil and gas drilling activities. The higher 2013 midstream expenditures primarily relate to
expansions of our plants serving the Barnett Shale and Cana-Woodford Shale and our Access Pipeline
transporting heavy oil in Canada.

Capital expenditures related to other activities decreased in 2013. This decrease is largely driven by the

construction of our new headquarters in Oklahoma City, which was completed in 2012.

Debt Activity, Net

During 2013, we increased our debt borrowings by $361 million as a result of issuing $2.25 billion of debt
related to the planned Eagle Ford Shale acquisition, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014, and
repaying approximately $1.9 billion of outstanding short-term debt.

In December 2013, to provide funding for our planned Eagle Ford Shale acquisition, we issued $2.25 billion

aggregate principal amount of fixed and floating rate senior notes resulting in cash proceeds of approximately
$2.2 billion, net of discounts and issuance costs.

During 2012, we increased our debt borrowings by $1.9 billion as a result of issuing $2.5 billion of long-
term debt and repaying approximately $0.6 billion of outstanding short-term debt. The additional borrowings
were primarily used to fund capital expenditures in excess of our operating cash flow.

During 2011, we increased our commercial paper borrowings by $3.7 billion and received $0.5 billion from

new debt issuances, net of debt maturities. Proceeds were primarily used to fund capital expenditures and
common stock repurchases in excess of operating cash flow.

In connection with our offshore divestitures, we conducted a $3.5 billion share repurchase program that we
completed in the fourth quarter of 2011. Under the program, we repurchased 49.2 million shares, representing 11
percent of our outstanding shares, at an average price of $71.18 per share.

37

Divestitures of Property and Equipment

In 2013, we sold our Thunder Creek operations in Wyoming for approximately $148 million and our Bear

Paw Basin assets in Havre, Montana for approximately $73 million. We also sold other minor oil and gas assets.

During 2012, we closed joint venture transactions with Sinopec and Sumitomo. Sinopec paid approximately
$900 million in cash and received a 33.3 percent interest in five of our new ventures exploration plays in the U.S.
Sinopec is also funding approximately $1.6 billion of our share of future exploration, development and drilling
costs associated with these plays. Sumitomo paid approximately $400 million and received a 30 percent interest
in the Cline and Midland-Wolfcamp Shale plays in Texas. Additionally, Sumitomo is funding approximately
$1.0 billion of our share of future exploration, development and drilling costs associated with these plays.

Also in 2012, we sold our West Johnson County Plant and gathering system in north Texas for

approximately $90 million and divested our Angola operations for approximately $71 million.

In 2011, our divestitures primarily related to the divestitures of our offshore assets.

Liquidity

Historically, our primary sources of capital and liquidity have been our operating cash flow, asset divestiture
proceeds and cash on hand. Additionally, we maintain revolving lines of credit and a commercial paper program,
which can be accessed as needed to supplement operating cash flow and cash balances. Other available sources
of capital and liquidity include debt and equity securities that can be issued pursuant to our shelf registration
statement filed with the SEC. We estimate the combination of these sources of capital will be adequate to fund
future capital expenditures, debt repayments and other contractual commitments as discussed in this section,
including our planned $6 billion acquisition of Eagle Ford Shale assets from GeoSouthern.

Operating Cash Flow and Cash Balances

Our operating cash flow is sensitive to many variables, the most volatile of which are the prices of the oil,

gas and NGLs we produce. Due to higher commodity prices, our operating cash flow from continuing operations
increased 10 percent to $5.4 billion in 2013. We expect operating cash flow to continue to be our primary source
of liquidity.

Commodity Prices – Prices are determined primarily by prevailing market conditions. Regional and
worldwide economic activity, weather and other substantially variable factors influence market conditions for
these products. These factors, which are difficult to predict, create volatility in prices and are beyond our control.
We expect this volatility to continue throughout 2014.

To mitigate some of the risk inherent in prices, we have utilized various derivative financial instruments to

set minimum prices on our future production. The key terms to our oil, gas and NGL derivative financial
instruments as of December 31, 2013 are presented in Note 2 to the financial statements under “Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data” of this report.

Commodity prices can also affect our operating cash flow through an indirect effect on operating expenses.
Significant commodity price increases can lead to an increase in drilling and development activities. As a result,
the demand and cost for people, services, equipment and materials may also increase, causing a negative impact
on our cash flow. However, the inverse is also generally true during periods of depressed commodity prices or
reduced activity.

Interest Rates – Our operating cash flow can also be impacted by interest rate fluctuations. As of

December 31, 2013, we had total debt of $12.0 billion with an overall weighted average borrowing rate of 4.1
percent.

38

Credit Losses – Our operating cash flow is also exposed to credit risk in a variety of ways. We are exposed
to the credit risk of the customers who purchase our oil, gas and NGL production. We are also exposed to credit
risk related to the collection of receivables from our joint-interest partners for their proportionate share of
expenditures made on projects we operate. Additionally, we are exposed to the credit risk of counterparties to our
derivative financial contracts. We utilize a variety of mechanisms to limit our exposure to the credit risks of our
customers, partners and counterparties. Such mechanisms include, under certain conditions, requiring letters of
credit, prepayments or collateral postings.

As recent years indicate, we have a history of investing more than 100 percent of our operating cash flow
into capital development activities to grow our company and maximize value for our shareholders. Therefore,
negative movements in any of the variables discussed above would not only impact our operating cash flow, but
also would likely impact the amount of capital investment we could or would make.

At the end of 2013, we held approximately $6.1 billion of cash. Included in this total was $1.8 billion of
cash held by our foreign subsidiaries. If we were to repatriate a portion or all of the cash held by our foreign
subsidiaries, we would recognize and pay current income taxes in accordance with current U. S. tax law. The
payment of such additional income tax would materially decrease the amount of cash and short-term investments
ultimately available to fund our business.

Credit Availability

We have a $3.0 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Senior Credit Facility”) that
matures on October 24, 2018. Amounts borrowed under the Senior Credit Facility may, at our election, bear
interest at various fixed rate options for periods of up to twelve months. Such rates are generally less than the
prime rate. However, we may elect to borrow at the prime rate. As of December 31, 2013, we had $2.9 billion of
available capacity under our syndicated, unsecured Senior Credit Facility, net of letters of credit outstanding.

The Senior Credit Facility contains only one material financial covenant. This covenant requires us to
maintain a ratio of total funded debt to total capitalization, as defined in the credit agreement, of no more than 65
percent. The credit agreement defines total funded debt as funds received through the issuance of debt securities
such as debentures, bonds, notes payable, credit facility borrowings and short-term commercial paper
borrowings. In addition, total funded debt includes all obligations with respect to payments received in
consideration for oil, gas and NGL production yet to be acquired or produced at the time of payment. Funded
debt excludes our outstanding letters of credit and trade payables. The credit agreement defines total
capitalization as the sum of funded debt and stockholders’ equity adjusted for noncash financial write-downs,
such as full cost ceiling impairments. As of December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with this covenant. Our
debt-to-capitalization ratio at December 31, 2013, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the agreement, was 25.7
percent.

Our access to funds from the Senior Credit Facility is not restricted under any “material adverse effect”

clauses. It is not uncommon for credit agreements to include such clauses. These clauses can remove the
obligation of the banks to fund the credit line if any condition or event would reasonably be expected to have a
material and adverse effect on the borrower’s financial condition, operations, properties or business considered as
a whole, the borrower’s ability to make timely debt payments, or the enforceability of material terms of the credit
agreement. While our credit facility includes covenants that require us to report a condition or event having a
material adverse effect, the obligation of the banks to fund the credit facility is not conditioned on the absence of
a material adverse effect.

We also have access to $3.0 billion of short-term credit under our commercial paper program. Commercial
paper debt generally has a maturity of between 1 and 90 days, although it can have a maturity of up to 365 days,
and bears interest at rates agreed to at the time of the borrowing. The interest rate is generally based on a standard
index such as the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, or the money market rate as found in the commercial paper
market. As of December 31, 2013, we had $1.3 billion of borrowings under our commercial paper program.

39

Debt Ratings

We receive debt ratings from the major ratings agencies in the U.S. In determining our debt ratings, the
agencies consider a number of qualitative and quantitative items including, but not limited to, commodity pricing
levels, our liquidity, asset quality, reserve mix, debt levels, cost structure, planned asset sales, near-term and
long-term production growth opportunities and capital allocation challenges. Our current debt ratings are BBB
with a stable outlook by Fitch, BBB+ with a negative outlook by Standard & Poor’s, and Baa1 with a review for
downgrade by Moody’s.

There are no “rating triggers” in any of our debt contractual obligations that would accelerate scheduled
maturities should our debt rating fall below a specified level. Our cost of borrowing under our Senior Credit
Facility is predicated on our corporate debt rating. Therefore, even though a ratings downgrade would not
accelerate scheduled maturities, it would adversely impact the interest rate on any borrowings under our Senior
Credit Facility. Under the terms of the Senior Credit Facility, a one-notch downgrade would increase the fully-
drawn borrowing costs from LIBOR plus 112.5 basis points to a new rate of LIBOR plus 125 basis points. A
ratings downgrade could also adversely impact our ability to economically access debt markets in the future.

Capital Expenditures

Excluding our planned $6 billion Eagle Ford Shale acquisition, our 2014 capital expenditures are expected

to range from $6.4 billion to $6.9 billion, including $5.4 billion to $5.8 billion for our oil and gas operations,
which include capitalized G&A and interest. To a certain degree, the ultimate timing of these capital
expenditures is within our control. Therefore, if commodity prices fluctuate from our current estimates, we could
choose to defer a portion of these planned 2014 capital expenditures until later periods or accelerate capital
expenditures planned for periods beyond 2014 to achieve the desired balance between sources and uses of
liquidity. Based upon current price expectations for 2014, our existing commodity hedging contracts, available
cash balances and credit availability, we anticipate having adequate capital resources to fund our 2014 capital
expenditures.

Additionally, our financial and operational flexibility has been further enhanced by the joint venture
transactions that we entered into in 2012 with Sinopec and Sumitomo. Pursuant to the joint venture agreements,
Sinopec and Sumitomo are subject to drilling carries with remaining commitments that totaled $1.4 billion at the
end of 2013. These drilling carries will fund 70 percent of our capital requirements related to joint venture
properties, which results in our partners paying approximately 80 percent of the overall development costs during
the carry period. This is allowing us to accelerate the de-risking and commercialization of the joint venture
properties without diverting capital from our core development projects. We expect the remaining carries will be
realized by the end of 2015.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

GeoSouthern Acquisition – On November 20, 2013, we entered into an agreement with GeoSouthern
Intermediate Holdings, LLC, to acquire certain oil and gas properties, leasehold mineral interests and related
assets located in the Eagle Ford Shale in south Texas for $6 billion in cash. The transaction is expected to close
in the first quarter of 2014.

To provide funding for the Eagle Ford Shale acquisition, we issued $2.25 billion of senior notes in
December 2013. The floating rate senior notes due in 2015 bear interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR
plus 0.45%, which rate will be reset quarterly. The floating rate senior notes due in 2016 bear interest at a rate
equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.54%, which rate will be reset quarterly. We also entered into a term loan
agreement in December 2013 with a group of major financial institutions pursuant to which we may draw up to
$2.0 billion to finance, in part, the Eagle Ford Shale acquisition and to pay transaction costs. Half of any loans
under the term loan agreement will have a maturity of three years and the other half will have a maturity of five
years (the 5-Year Loans). The 5-Year Loans will provide for the partial amortization of principal during the last

40

two years that they are outstanding. Loans borrowed under the term loan agreement may, at our election, bear
interest at various fixed rate options for periods up to six months. Such rates are generally less than the prime
rate. However, we may elect to borrow at the prime rate.

In the event that the Eagle Ford Shale acquisition is not completed on or prior to June 30, 2014, we will be
required to redeem each series of new senior notes at 101% of the $2.25 billion aggregate principal amount, plus
accrued and unpaid interest.

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

In exchange for a controlling interest in both EnLink and the Partnership, Devon will contribute its equity

interest in a newly formed Devon subsidiary (“EnLink Holdings”) and $100 million in cash. EnLink
Holdings will own Devon’s midstream assets in the Barnett Shale in north Texas and the Cana and Arkoma
Woodford Shales in Oklahoma, as well as Devon’s economic interest in Gulf Coast Fractionators in Mt.
Belvieu, Texas. The Partnership and EnLink will each own 50% of EnLink Holdings. The completion of these
transactions is subject to Crosstex Energy, Inc. shareholder approval. Devon expects Crosstex Energy, Inc.
shareholders will approve the transaction, allowing Devon and Crosstex to complete the transaction near the end
of the first quarter of 2014.

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

•

•

70% – Devon Energy Corporation

30% – Current Crosstex Energy, Inc. public stockholders

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

•

•

•

53% – Devon Energy Corporation

40% – Current Crosstex Energy, L.P. public unitholders

7% – the General Partner

Asset Divestitures – In conjunction with the announcement of the Eagle Ford Shale acquisition, we also

announced plans to monetize certain non-core assets located throughout Canada and the U. S. The divestitures
will likely occur in a number of separate transactions, but we expect to complete the majority of the divestitures
by the end of 2014.

(1) Debt amounts represent scheduled maturities of our debt obligations at December 31, 2013, excluding $20
million of net discounts included in the carrying value of debt. Included in current debt is the $2.25 billion
senior notes related to the GeoSouthern acquisition that will be reclassified to long-term once the transaction
closes in the first quarter of 2014.

(2)

Interest expense represents the scheduled cash payments on long-term, fixed-rate debt and an estimate of
our floating-rate debt.

(3) Purchase obligation amounts represent contractual commitments primarily to purchase condensate at market

prices for use at our heavy oil projects in Canada. We have entered into these agreements because
condensate is an integral part of the heavy oil transportation process. Any disruption in our ability to obtain
condensate could negatively affect our ability to transport heavy oil at these locations. Our total obligation
related to condensate purchases expires in 2021. The value of the obligation in the table above is based on
the contractual volumes and our internal estimate of future condensate market prices.

(4) Operational agreements represent commitments to transport or process certain volumes of oil, gas and
NGLs for a fixed fee. We have entered into these agreements to aid the movement of our production to
downstream markets.

(5) Asset retirement obligations represent estimated discounted costs for future dismantlement, abandonment

and rehabilitation costs. These obligations are recorded as liabilities on our December 31, 2013 balance
sheet.

(6) Drilling and facility obligations represent contractual agreements with third-party service providers to
procure drilling rigs and other related services for developmental and exploratory drilling and facilities
construction.

(7) Lease obligations consist primarily of non-cancelable leases for office space and equipment used in our

daily operations.

(8) These amounts include $243 million related to uncertain tax positions.

Contingencies and Legal Matters

For a detailed discussion of contingencies and legal matters, see Note 18 to the financial statements included

in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this report.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the

42

United States of America requires us to make estimates, judgments 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 these estimates, and changes in these estimates are recorded when known. We consider the following
to be our most critical accounting estimates that involve judgment and have reviewed these critical accounting
estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Full Cost Method of Accounting and Proved Reserves

Our estimates of proved reserves are a major component of the depletion and full cost ceiling calculations.

Additionally, our proved reserves represent the element of these calculations that require the most subjective
judgments. Estimates of reserves are forecasts based on engineering data, projected future rates of production and
the timing of future expenditures. The process of estimating oil, gas and NGL reserves requires substantial
judgment, resulting in imprecise determinations, particularly for new discoveries. Different reserve engineers
may make different estimates of reserve quantities based on the same data. Our engineers prepare our reserve
estimates. We then subject certain of our reserve estimates to audits performed by outside petroleum consultants.
In 2013, 91 percent of our reserves were subjected to such audits.

The passage of time provides more qualitative information regarding estimates of reserves, when revisions

are made to prior estimates to reflect updated information. In the past five years, annual performance revisions to
our reserve estimates, which have been both increases and decreases in individual years, have averaged less than
two percent of the previous year’s estimate. However, there can be no assurance that more significant revisions
will not be necessary in the future. The data for a given reservoir may also change substantially over time as a
result of numerous factors including, but not limited to, additional development activity, evolving production
history and continual reassessment of the viability of production under varying economic conditions.

While the quantities of proved reserves require substantial judgment, the associated prices of oil, gas and

NGL reserves, and the applicable discount rate, that are used to calculate the discounted present value of the
reserves do not require judgment. Applicable rules require future net revenues to be calculated using prices that
represent the average of the first-day-of-the-month price for the 12-month period prior to the end of each
quarterly period. Such rules also dictate that a 10 percent discount factor be used. Therefore, the discounted
future net revenues associated with the estimated proved reserves are not based on our assessment of future
prices or costs or our enterprise risk.

Because the ceiling calculation dictates the use of prices that are not representative of future prices and
requires a 10 percent discount factor, the resulting value is not indicative of the true fair value of the reserves. Oil
and gas prices have historically been cyclical and, for any particular 12-month period, can be either higher or
lower than our long-term price forecast, which is a more appropriate input for estimating fair value. Therefore,
oil and gas property write-downs that result from applying the full cost ceiling limitation, and that are caused by
fluctuations in price as opposed to reductions to the underlying quantities of reserves, should not be viewed as
absolute indicators of a reduction of the ultimate value of the related reserves.

Because of the volatile nature of oil and gas prices, it is not possible to predict the timing or magnitude of

full cost write-downs. In addition, due to the inter-relationship of the various judgments made to estimate proved
reserves, it is impractical to provide quantitative analyses of the effects of potential changes in these estimates.
However, decreases in estimates of proved reserves would generally increase our depletion rate and, thus, our
depletion expense. Decreases in our proved reserves may also increase the likelihood of recognizing a full cost
ceiling write-down.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We periodically enter into derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of our oil, gas and NGL

production to hedge future prices received. Our commodity derivative financial instruments include financial
price swaps, basis swaps, costless price collars and call options.

43

The estimates of the fair values of our derivative instruments require substantial judgment. We estimate the

fair values of our commodity derivative financial instruments primarily by using internal discounted cash flow
calculations. The most significant variable to our cash flow calculations is our estimate of future commodity
prices. We base our estimate of future prices upon published forward commodity price curves such as the Inside
FERC Henry Hub forward curve for gas instruments and the NYMEX West Texas Intermediate forward curve
for oil instruments. Another key input to our cash flow calculations is our estimate of volatility for these forward
curves, which we base primarily upon implied volatility. The resulting estimated future cash inflows or outflows
over the lives of the contracts are discounted primarily using United States Treasury bill rates. These pricing and
discounting variables are sensitive to the period of the contract and market volatility as well as changes in
forward prices and regional price differentials.

We periodically enter into interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to interest rate volatility. Under the

terms of our interest rate swaps, we generally receive a fixed rate and pay a variable rate on a total notional
amount. As of December 31, 2013 we had no outstanding interest rate swaps.

We estimate the fair values of our interest rate swap financial instruments primarily by using internal
discounted cash flow calculations based upon forward interest rate yields. The most significant variable to our
cash flow calculations is our estimate of future interest rate yields. We base our estimate of future yields upon
our own internal model that utilizes forward curves such as the LIBOR or the Federal Funds Rate provided by
third parties. The resulting estimated future cash inflows or outflows over the lives of the contracts are
discounted using the LIBOR and money market futures rates. These yield and discounting variables are sensitive
to the period of the contract and market volatility as well as changes in forward interest rate yields.

We periodically enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in
exchange rates. Under the terms of our foreign exchange forward contracts, we generally receive U.S. dollars and
pay Canadian dollars based on a total notional amount.

We estimate the fair values of our foreign exchange forward contracts primarily by using internal

discounted cash flow calculations based upon forward exchange rates. The most significant variable to our cash
flow calculations is our observation of forward foreign exchange rates. The resulting future cash inflows or
outflows at maturity of the contracts are discounted using Treasury rates. These discounting variables are
sensitive to the period of the contract and market volatility.

We periodically validate our valuation techniques by comparing our internally generated fair value

estimates with those obtained from contract counterparties.

Counterparty credit risk has not had a significant effect on our cash flow calculations and derivative
valuations. This is primarily the result of two factors. First, we have mitigated our exposure to any single
counterparty by contracting with numerous counterparties. Our commodity derivative contracts are held with
fourteen separate counterparties, and our foreign exchange forward contracts are held with four separate
counterparties. Second, our derivative contracts generally require cash collateral to be posted if either our or the
counterparty’s credit rating falls below certain credit rating levels. The mark-to-market exposure threshold for
collateral posting decreases as the debt rating falls further below such credit levels.

Because we have chosen not to qualify our derivatives for hedge accounting treatment, changes in the fair
values of derivatives can have a significant impact on our reported results of operations. Generally, changes in
derivative fair values will not impact our liquidity or capital resources.

Settlements of derivative instruments, regardless of whether they qualify for hedge accounting, do have an
impact on our liquidity and results of operations. Generally, if actual market prices are higher than the price of
the derivative instruments, our net earnings and cash flow from operations will be lower relative to the results
that would have occurred absent these instruments. The opposite is also true. Additional information regarding

44

the effects that changes in market prices can have on our derivative financial instruments, net earnings and cash
flow from operations is included in “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” of
this report.

Goodwill

The annual impairment test, which we conduct as of October 31 each year, includes an assessment of
qualitative factors and requires us to estimate the fair values of our own assets and liabilities. Because quoted
market prices are not available for our reporting units, we must estimate the fair values to conduct the goodwill
impairment test. The most significant judgments involved in estimating the fair values of our reporting units
relate to the valuation of our property and equipment. We develop estimated fair values of our property and
equipment by performing various quantitative analyses using information related to comparable companies,
comparable transactions and premiums paid.

In our comparable companies analysis, we review the stock market trading multiples for selected publicly
traded independent exploration and production companies with financial and operating characteristics that are
comparable to our respective reporting units. Such characteristics are market capitalization, location of proved
reserves and the characterization of the operations. In our comparable transactions analysis, we review certain
acquisition multiples for selected independent exploration and production company transactions and oil and gas
asset packages announced recently. In our premiums paid analysis, we use a sample of selected transactions of all
publicly traded companies announced recently. We then review the premiums paid to the price of the target one
day and one month prior to the announcement of the transaction. We use this information to determine the
median premiums paid.

We then use the comparable company multiples, comparable transaction multiples, transaction premiums

and other data to develop valuation estimates of our property and equipment. We also use market and other data
to develop valuation estimates of the other assets and liabilities included in our reporting units. At October 31,
2013, the date of our last impairment test, the fair values of our U.S. and Canadian reporting units exceeded their
related carrying values. The fair value of our U.S. reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying value.
However, the fair value of our Canadian reporting is not substantially in excess of its carrying value. As of
October 31, 2013, the fair value of our Canadian reporting unit derived by the average of our three valuation
methods (comparable company multiples, comparable transaction multiples, and transaction premiums) exceeded
its carrying value by approximately 11 percent. As of December 31, 2013, we had $2.8 billion of goodwill
allocated to the Canadian reporting unit.

Significant decreases to our stock price, decreases in commodity prices, negative deviations from projected

Canadian reporting unit earnings or unfavorable changes in reserves could result in a goodwill impairment
charge. A goodwill impairment charge would have no effect on liquidity or capital resources. However, it would
adversely affect our results of operations in that period.

Due to the inter-relationship of the various estimates involved in assessing goodwill for impairment, it is
impractical to provide quantitative analyses of the effects of potential changes in these estimates, other than to
note the historical average changes in our reserve estimates.

The amount of income taxes recorded requires interpretations of complex rules and regulations of federal,

state, provincial and foreign tax jurisdictions. We recognize current tax expense based on estimated taxable
income for the current period and the applicable statutory tax rates. We routinely assess potential uncertain tax
positions and, if required, estimate and establish accruals for such amounts. We have recognized deferred tax
assets and liabilities for temporary differences, operating losses and other tax carryforwards. We routinely assess
our deferred tax assets and reduce such assets by a valuation allowance if we deem it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

45

The accruals for deferred tax assets and liabilities are often based on assumptions that are subject to a
significant amount of judgment by management. These assumptions and judgments are reviewed and adjusted as
facts and circumstances change. Material changes to our income tax accruals may occur in the future based on
the progress of ongoing audits, changes in legislation or resolution of pending matters.

We also assess factors relative to whether our foreign earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested. These
factors include forecasted and actual results for both our U.S. and Canadian operations, borrowing conditions in
the U.S., and existing United States income tax laws, particularly the laws pertaining to the deductibility of
intangible drilling costs and repatriations of foreign earnings. Changes in any of these factors could require
recognition of additional deferred, or even current, U.S. income tax expense. We accrue deferred U.S. income tax
expense on our foreign earnings when the factors indicate that these earnings are no longer considered
indefinitely reinvested.

For our foreign earnings deemed indefinitely reinvested, we do not calculate a hypothetical deferred tax
liability on these earnings. Calculating a hypothetical tax on these accumulated earnings is much different from
the calculation of the deferred tax liability on our earnings deemed not indefinitely reinvested. A hypothetical tax
calculation on the indefinitely reinvested earnings would require the following additional activities:

•

Separate analysis of a diverse chain of foreign entities;

• Relying on tax rates on a future remittance that could vary significantly depending on alternative

approaches available to repatriate the earnings;

• Determining the nature of a yet-to-be-determined future remittance, such as whether the distribution
would be a non-taxable return of capital or a distribution of taxable earnings, and calculation of
associated withholding taxes, which would vary significantly depending on the circumstances at the
deemed time of remittance; and

•

Further analysis of a variety of other inputs such as the earnings, profits, United States/foreign country
tax treaty provisions and the related foreign taxes paid by our foreign subsidiaries, whose earnings are
deemed permanently reinvested, over a lengthy history of operations.

Because of the administrative burden required to perform these additional activities, it is impracticable to

calculate a hypothetical tax on the foreign earnings associated with this separate and more complicated chain of
companies.

Non-GAAP Measures

We make reference to “adjusted earnings” and “adjusted earnings per share” in “Overview of 2013 Results”

in this Item 7. that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures
should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures. Adjusted earnings, as well as the per share amount,
represent net earnings excluding certain non-cash or non-recurring items that are typically excluded by securities
analysts in their published estimates of our financial results. Our non-GAAP measures are typically used as a
quarterly performance measure. Items may appear to be recurring while comparing on an annual basis. In the
below table, restructuring costs were incurred in each of the three year periods, however, these costs relate to
different restructuring programs. Amounts excluded for 2013 and a portion of 2012 relate to our office
consolidation and amounts excluded for the remaining portion of 2012 and 2011 relate to our offshore divestiture
program. For more information on our restructuring programs see Note 6 to the financial statements included in
“Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this report. We believe these non-GAAP measures
facilitate comparisons of our performance to earnings estimates published by securities analysts. We also believe
these non-GAAP measures can facilitate comparisons of our performance between periods and to the
performance of our peers.

46

Below are reconciliations of our adjusted earnings and earnings per share to their comparable GAAP

measures. The reconciliations exclude amounts related to our discontinued operations.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and

qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term “market risk” refers to our risk of
loss arising from adverse changes in oil, gas and NGL prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
The following 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 speculative trading.

Commodity Price Risk

Our major market risk exposure is the pricing applicable to our oil, gas and NGL 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 gas and NGL production. Pricing for oil, gas and NGL production has been volatile and
unpredictable as discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this report. Consequently, we periodically enter into
financial hedging activities with respect to a portion of our production through various financial transactions that
hedge future prices received. The key terms to all our oil, gas and NGL derivative financial instruments as of
December 31, 2013 are presented in Note 2 to the financial statements under “Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data” of this report.

47

The fair values of our commodity derivatives are largely determined by estimates of the forward curves of
the relevant price indices. At December 31, 2013, a 10 percent increase and 10 percent decrease in the forward
curves associated with our commodity derivative instruments would have changed our net asset positions by the
following amounts:

Gain (loss):

Gas derivatives
Oil derivatives
NGL derivatives

Interest Rate Risk

10% Increase

10% Decrease

$—

At December 31, 2013, we had total debt of $12.0 billion. Of this amount, $9.9 billion bears fixed interest
rates averaging 4.9 percent. The remaining $2.1 billion of debt is comprised of commercial paper borrowings that
bear interest rates averaging 0.30 percent and floating rate debt that at December 31, 2013 had rates averaging
0.73 percent. Our commercial paper borrowings typically have maturities between 1 and 90 days.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our net assets, net earnings and cash flows from our Canadian subsidiaries are based on the U.S. dollar
equivalent of such amounts measured in the Canadian dollar functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the
Canadian subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate as of the end of a reporting
period. Revenues, expenses and cash flow are translated using an average exchange rate during the reporting
period. A 10 percent unfavorable change in the Canadian-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate would not materially
impact our December 31, 2013 balance sheet.

Our non-Canadian foreign subsidiaries have a U.S. dollar functional currency. However, one of these
foreign subsidiaries holds Canadian-dollar cash and engages in short-term intercompany loans with Canadian
subsidiaries that are based in Canadian dollars. The value of the Canadian-dollar cash and intercompany loans
increases or decreases from the remeasurement of the cash and loans into the U.S. dollar functional currency.
Additionally, at December 31, 2013, we held foreign currency exchange forward contracts to hedge exposures to
fluctuations in exchange rates on the Canadian-dollar cash and intercompany loans. The increase or decrease in
the value of the forward contracts is offset by the increase or decrease to the U.S. dollar equivalent of the
Canadian-dollar cash and intercompany loans. Based on the amount of the cash and intercompany loans as of
December 31, 2013, a 10 percent change in the foreign currency exchange rates would not have materially
impacted our balance sheet.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Devon Energy Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Devon Energy Corporation and subsidiaries
as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated comprehensive statements of earnings, cash flows,
and stockholders’ equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013. We also have
audited Devon Energy Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on
criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Devon Energy Corporation’s management is responsible for
these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Annual
Report contained in “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” of Devon Energy Corporation’s Annual Report on Form
10-K. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting
was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our
audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as
we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, 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, 2013 and 2012, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
2013, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, Devon
Energy Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Devon Energy Corporation (“Devon”) is a leading independent energy company engaged primarily in the
exploration, development and production of oil, natural gas and NGLs. Devon’s operations are concentrated in
various North American onshore areas in the U.S. and Canada. Devon also owns natural gas pipelines, plants and
treatment facilities in many of its producing areas, making it one of North America’s larger processors of natural
gas.

Accounting policies used by Devon and its subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America and reflect industry practices. The more significant of such policies are discussed
below.

Principles of Consolidation

The accounts of Devon and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries are included in the accompanying

financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements 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 these estimates, and changes in these estimates are recorded when known. Significant
items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the following:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

proved reserves and related present value of future net revenues;

the carrying value of oil and gas properties;

derivative financial instruments;

the fair value of reporting units and related assessment of goodwill for impairment;

Revenue Recognition and Gas Balancing

Oil, gas and NGL sales are recognized when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable
price, delivery has occurred, title has transferred and collectability of the revenue is probable. Delivery occurs
and title is transferred when production has been delivered to a pipeline, railcar or truck. Cash received relating
to future production is deferred and recognized when all revenue recognition criteria are met. Taxes assessed by
governmental authorities on oil, gas and NGL sales are presented separately from such revenues in the
accompanying comprehensive statements of earnings.

Devon follows the sales method of accounting for gas production imbalances. The volumes of gas sold may

differ from the volumes to which Devon is entitled based on its interests in the properties. These differences

55

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

create imbalances that are recognized as a liability only when the estimated remaining reserves will not be
sufficient to enable the underproduced owner to recoup its entitled share through production. The liability is
measured based on current market prices. No receivables are recorded for those wells where Devon has taken
less than its share of production unless all revenue recognition criteria are met. If an imbalance exists at the time
the wells’ reserves are depleted, settlements are made among the joint interest owners under a variety of
arrangements.

Marketing and midstream revenues are recorded at the time products are sold or services are provided to

third parties at a fixed or determinable price, delivery or performance has occurred, title has transferred and
collectability of the revenue is probable. Revenues and expenses attributable to oil, gas and NGL purchases,
transportation and processing contracts are reported on a gross basis when Devon takes title to the products and
has risks and rewards of ownership.

During 2013, 2012 and 2011, no purchaser accounted for more than 10 percent of Devon’s operating

revenues from continuing operations.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Devon is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including risks related to

commodity prices, interest rates and Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rates. As discussed more fully below,
Devon uses derivative instruments primarily to manage commodity price risk, interest rate risk and foreign
exchange risk. Devon does not intend to issue or hold derivative financial instruments for speculative trading
purposes.

Devon periodically enters into derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of its oil, gas and

NGL production to hedge future prices received. These instruments are used to manage the inherent uncertainty
of future revenues due to commodity price volatility. Devon’s derivative financial instruments typically include
financial price swaps, basis swaps, costless price collars and call options. Under the terms of the price swaps,
Devon receives a fixed price for its production and pays a variable market price to the contract counterparty. For
the basis swaps, Devon receives a fixed differential between two regional index prices and pays a variable
differential on the same two index prices to the contract counterparty. The price collars 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 will cash-settle the difference with the counterparty to the collars.
The call options give counterparties the right to purchase production at a predetermined price.

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

All derivative financial instruments are recognized at their current fair value as either assets or liabilities in

the balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of these derivative financial instruments are recorded in earnings
unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. For derivative financial instruments held during the three-year
period ended December 31, 2013, Devon chose not to meet the necessary criteria to qualify its derivative
financial instruments for hedge accounting treatment. Cash settlements with counterparties on Devon’s derivative
financial instruments are also recorded in earnings.

By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in commodity prices, interest rates

and foreign currency rates, Devon is exposed to credit risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to
perform under the terms of the derivative contract. To mitigate this risk, the hedging instruments are placed with

56

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

a number of counterparties whom Devon believes are acceptable credit risks. It is Devon’s policy to enter into
derivative contracts only with investment grade rated counterparties deemed by management to be competent and
competitive market makers. Additionally, Devon’s derivative contracts generally require cash collateral to be
posted if either its or the counterparty’s credit rating falls below certain credit rating levels. The mark-to-market
exposure threshold, above which collateral must be posted, decreases as the debt rating falls further below such
credit levels. As of December 31, 2013, Devon held $3 million of cash collateral, which represented the
estimated fair value of certain derivative positions in excess of Devon’s credit guidelines. The collateral is
reported in other current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses are reported net of amounts reimbursed by 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.

Share Based Compensation

Devon grants stock options, restricted stock awards and other types of share-based awards to members of its

Board of Directors and selected employees. All such awards are measured at fair value on the date of grant and
are generally recognized as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying
comprehensive statements of earnings over the applicable requisite service periods. As a result of Devon’s
consolidation of its U.S. operations announced in October 2012, certain share based awards were accelerated and
recognized as a component of restructuring costs in the accompanying comprehensive statements of earnings.

Generally, Devon uses new shares from approved incentive programs to grant share-based awards and to
issue shares upon stock option exercises. Shares repurchased under approved programs are available to be issued
as part of Devon’s share based awards. However, Devon has historically cancelled these shares upon repurchase.

Income Taxes

Devon is subject to current income taxes assessed by the federal and various state jurisdictions in the U.S.

and by other foreign jurisdictions. In addition, Devon accounts for deferred income taxes related to these
jurisdictions using the asset and liability method. Under this method, 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 basis. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for the
future tax benefits attributable to the expected utilization of existing tax net operating loss carryforwards and
other types of carryforwards. If the future utilization of some portion of carryforwards is determined to be
unlikely, a valuation allowance is provided to reduce the recorded tax benefits from such assets. 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.

Devon does not recognize U.S. deferred income taxes on the unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries
that are deemed to be indefinitely reinvested. When such earnings are no longer deemed indefinitely reinvested,
Devon recognizes the appropriate deferred, or even current, income tax liabilities.

Devon recognizes the financial statement effects of tax positions when it is more likely than not, based on
the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. Recognized tax
positions are initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not

57

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. Liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits
related to such tax positions are included in other long-term liabilities unless the tax position is expected to be
settled within the upcoming year, in which case the liabilities are included in other current liabilities. Interest and
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are included in current income tax expense.

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Devon’s basic earnings per share amounts have been computed based on the average number of shares of

common stock outstanding for the period. Basic earnings per share includes the effect of participating securities,
which primarily consist of Devon’s outstanding restricted stock awards. Diluted earnings per share is calculated
using the treasury stock method to reflect the assumed issuance of common shares for all potentially dilutive
securities. Such securities primarily consist of outstanding stock options.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Devon considers all highly liquid investments with original contractual maturities of three months or less to

be cash equivalents.

Investments

Devon periodically invests excess cash in United States and Canadian treasury securities and other

marketable securities. Devon considers securities with original contractual maturities in excess of three months,
but less than one year to be short-term investments. Investments with contractual maturities in excess of one year
are classified as long-term, unless such investments are classified as trading or available-for-sale.

Devon reports its investments and other marketable securities at fair value, except for debt securities in
which management has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Such debt securities totaled $62 million and
$64 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are included in other long-term assets in the
accompanying balance sheet. Devon has the ability to hold the securities until maturity.

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. Internal costs incurred that are
directly identified with acquisition, exploration and development activities undertaken by Devon for its own
account, and that are not related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities, are also
capitalized. Interest costs incurred and attributable to unproved oil and gas properties under current evaluation
and major development projects of oil and gas properties are also capitalized. All costs related to production
activities, including workover costs incurred solely to maintain or increase levels of production from an existing
completion interval, are charged to expense as incurred.

Capitalized costs are depleted by an equivalent unit-of-production method, converting gas to oil at the ratio
of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil. Depletion is calculated using the capitalized costs, including
estimated asset retirement costs, plus the estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in
developing proved reserves, net of estimated salvage values.

Costs associated with unproved properties are excluded from the depletion calculation until it is determined

whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. Devon assesses its unproved properties for
impairment quarterly. Significant unproved properties are assessed individually. Costs of insignificant unproved
properties are transferred into the depletion calculation over holding periods ranging from three to four years.

58

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

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 in a particular country.

Under the full cost method of accounting, capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, net of accumulated
DD&A and deferred income taxes, may not exceed the full cost “ceiling” at the end of each quarter. The ceiling
is calculated separately for each country and is based on the present value of estimated future net cash flows from
proved oil and gas reserves, discounted at 10 percent per annum, net of related tax effects. The estimated future
net revenues exclude future cash outflows associated with settling asset retirement obligations included in the net
book value of oil and gas properties.

Estimated future net cash flows are calculated using end-of-period costs and an unweighted arithmetic
average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of each of the previous 12 months. Prices are held constant
indefinitely and are not changed except where different prices are fixed and determinable from applicable
contracts for the remaining term of those contracts, including derivative contracts in place that qualify for hedge
accounting treatment. None of Devon’s derivative contracts held during the three-year period ended
December 31, 2013, qualified for hedge accounting treatment.

Any excess of the net book value, less related deferred taxes, over the ceiling is written off as an expense.
An expense recorded in one period may not be reversed in a subsequent period even though higher commodity
prices may have increased the ceiling applicable to the subsequent period.

Costs for midstream assets that are in use are depreciated over the assets’ estimated useful lives, using either

the unit-of-production or straight-line method. Depreciation and amortization of other property and equipment,
including corporate and leasehold improvements, are provided using the straight-line method based on estimated
useful lives ranging from three to 60 years. Interest costs incurred and attributable to major midstream and
corporate construction projects are also capitalized.

Devon recognizes liabilities for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets, such as
producing well sites and midstream pipelines and processing plants when there is a legal obligation associated
with the retirement of such assets and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The initial measurement of an
asset retirement obligation is recorded as a liability at its fair value, with an offsetting asset retirement cost
recorded as an increase to the associated property and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. When the
assumptions used to estimate a recorded asset retirement obligation change, a revision is recorded to both the
asset retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost. Devon’s asset retirement obligations include estimated
environmental remediation costs which arise from normal operations and are associated with the retirement of
such long-lived assets. The asset retirement cost is depreciated using a systematic and rational method similar to
that used for the associated property and equipment.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of business combinations over the fair value of the net
assets acquired and is tested for impairment at least annually. Such test includes an assessment of qualitative and
quantitative factors. The impairment test requires allocating goodwill and all other assets and liabilities to
assigned reporting units. The fair value of each reporting unit is estimated and compared to the net book value of
the reporting unit. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the net book value, including
goodwill, then the goodwill is written down to the implied fair value of the goodwill through a charge to expense.
Because quoted market prices are not available for Devon’s reporting units, the fair values of the reporting units
are estimated based upon several valuation analyses, including comparable companies, comparable transactions
and premiums paid.

59

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Devon performed annual impairment tests of goodwill in the fourth quarters of 2013, 2012 and 2011. Based

on these assessments, no impairment of goodwill was required.

The table below provides a summary of Devon’s goodwill, by assigned reporting unit. The decrease in
Devon’s goodwill from 2012 to 2013 was primarily due to changes in the exchange rate between the United
States dollar and the Canadian dollar.

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. Liabilities for
environmental remediation or restoration claims resulting from improper operation of assets are recorded when it
is probable that obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Expenditures
related to such environmental matters are expensed or capitalized in accordance with Devon’s accounting policy
for property and equipment.

Fair Value Measurements

Certain of Devon’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value

represents the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants. This price is commonly referred to as the “exit price.” Fair value
measurements are classified according to a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs underlying the valuation
techniques. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels:

• Level 1 – Inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
and have the highest priority. When available, Devon measures fair value using Level 1 inputs because
they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value.

• Level 2 – Inputs consist of quoted prices that are generally observable for the asset or liability.

Common examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active
markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets not considered to be active.

• Level 3 – Inputs are not observable from objective sources and have the lowest priority. The most

common Level 3 fair value measurement is an internally developed cash flow model.

Discontinued Operations

All amounts related to Devon’s International operations that were sold in 2012 and 2011 are classified as

discontinued operations.

Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments

The United States dollar is the functional currency for Devon’s consolidated operations except its Canadian

subsidiaries, which use the Canadian dollar as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the Canadian
subsidiaries are translated to United States dollars using the applicable exchange rate as of the end of a reporting

60

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

period. Revenues, expenses and cash flow are translated using an average exchange rate during the reporting
period. Translation adjustments have no effect on net income and are included in accumulated other
comprehensive earnings in stockholders’ equity.

Share-Based Compensation

On June 3, 2009, Devon’s stockholders adopted the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which expires on

June 2, 2019. This plan authorizes the Compensation Committee, which consists of independent non-
management members of Devon’s Board of Directors, to grant nonqualified and incentive stock options,
restricted stock awards, performance restricted stock awards, Canadian restricted stock units, performance share
units, stock appreciation rights and cash-out rights to eligible employees. The plan also authorizes the grant of
nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights to
directors.

In the second quarter of 2012, Devon’s stockholders adopted an amendment to the 2009 Long-Term
Incentive Plan, which also expires June 2, 2019. This amendment increases the number of shares authorized for
issuance from 21.5 million shares to 47.0 million shares. To calculate shares issued under the 2009 Long-Term
Incentive Plan subsequent to this amendment, options and stock appreciation rights represent one share and other
awards represent 2.38 shares.

Devon also has a stock option plan that was adopted in 2005 under which stock options were issued to
certain employees. Options granted under this plan remain exercisable by the employees owning such options,
but no new options or restricted stock awards will be granted under this plan.

Devon did not have an annual long-term incentive grant in 2013 due to revisions in the timing of the
employee compensation cycle. The annual long-term incentive grant related to 2013 performance was granted in
February 2014. The following table presents the effects of share-based compensation included in Devon’s
accompanying comprehensive statements of earnings. The vesting for certain share-based awards was accelerated
as part of Devon’s consolidation of its U.S. operations announced in October 2012. The associated expense for
these accelerated awards is included in restructuring costs in the accompanying comprehensive statements of
earnings. See Note 6 for further details.

Stock Options

In accordance with Devon’s incentive plans, the exercise price of stock options granted may not be less than

the market value of the stock at the date of grant. In addition, options granted are exercisable during a period
established for each grant, which may not exceed eight years from the date of grant. The recipient must pay the
exercise price in cash or in common stock, or a combination thereof, at the time that the option is exercised.
Generally, the service requirement for vesting ranges from zero to four years.

The fair value of stock options on the date of grant is expensed over the applicable vesting period. Devon
estimates the fair values of stock options granted using a Black-Scholes option valuation model, which requires
Devon to make several assumptions. The volatility of Devon’s common stock is based on the historical volatility
of the market price of Devon’s common stock over a period of time equal to the expected term of the option and
ending on the grant date. The dividend yield is based on Devon’s historical and current yield in effect at the date

63

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

of grant. The risk-free interest rate is based on the zero-coupon United States Treasury yield for the expected
term of the option at the date of grant. The expected term of the options is based on historical exercise and
termination experience for various groups of employees and directors. Each group is determined based on the
similarity of their historical exercise and termination behavior. The following table presents a summary of the
grant-date fair values of stock options granted and the related assumptions for 2012 and 2011. All such amounts
represent the weighted-average amounts for each year. No stock options were granted in 2013.

Restricted Stock Awards and Units

Restricted stock awards and units are subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations, if any,

that the Compensation Committee deems appropriate, including restrictions on continued employment.
Generally, the service requirement for vesting ranges from zero to four years. During the vesting period,
recipients of restricted stock awards receive dividends that are not subject to restrictions or other limitations.
Devon estimates the fair values of restricted stock awards and units as the closing price of Devon’s common
stock on the grant date of the award or unit, which is expensed over the applicable vesting period. The following
table presents a summary of Devon’s unvested restricted stock awards and units.

compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards and units was $166 million. Such cost is expected
to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

Performance Based Restricted Stock Awards

Performance based restricted stock awards are granted to certain members of Devon’s senior management.

Vesting of the awards is dependent on Devon meeting certain internal performance targets and the recipient
meeting certain service requirements. Generally, the service requirement for vesting ranges from zero to four
years. If Devon meets or exceeds the performance target, the awards vest after the recipient meets the related
requisite service period. If the performance target and service period requirement are not met, the award does not
vest. Once vested, recipients are entitled to dividends on the awards. Devon estimates the fair values of the
awards as the closing price of Devon’s common stock on the grant date of the award, which is expensed over the
applicable vesting period. The following table presents a summary of Devon’s performance based restricted
stock awards.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Performance Share Units

Performance share units are granted to certain members of Devon’s senior management. Each unit that vests

entitles the recipient to one share of Devon common stock. The vesting of these units is based on comparing
Devon’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) to the TSR of a predetermined group of fourteen peer companies over
the specified two- or three-year performance period. The vesting of units may be between zero and 200 percent
of the units granted depending on Devon’s TSR as compared to the peer group on the vesting date.

At the end of the vesting period, recipients receive dividend equivalents with respect to the number of units

vested. The fair value of each performance share unit is estimated as of the date of grant using a Monte Carlo
simulation with the following assumptions used for all grants made under the plan: (i) a risk-free interest rate
based on United States Treasury rates as of the grant date; (ii) a volatility assumption based on the historical
realized price volatility of Devon and the designated peer group; and (iii) an estimated ranking of Devon among
the designated peer group. The fair value of the unit on the date of grant is expensed over the applicable vesting
period. The following table presents a summary of the grant-date fair values of performance share units granted
and the related assumptions.

Under the full cost method of accounting, capitalized costs of oil and gas properties are subject to a

quarterly full cost ceiling test, which is discussed in Note 1.

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

Midstream Impairments

Due to declining natural gas production resulting from low natural gas and NGL prices, Devon determined
that the carrying amounts of certain of its midstream facilities were not recoverable from estimated future cash
flows. Consequently, the assets were written down to their estimated fair values, which were determined using
discounted cash flow models. The fair value of Devon’s midstream assets is considered a Level 3 fair value
measurement.

Office Consolidation

In October 2012, Devon announced plans to consolidate its U.S. personnel into a single operations group
centrally located at the company’s corporate headquarters in Oklahoma City. As a result, Devon closed its office
in Houston, transferred operational responsibilities for assets in south Texas, east Texas and Louisiana to
Oklahoma City and incurred $134 million of restructuring costs associated with the consolidation.

Employee severance and retention – As of December 31, 2013, Devon had incurred $90 million of
employee severance and retention costs associated with the office consolidation. This included amounts related
to cash severance costs and accelerated vesting of share-based grants.

Lease obligations and other – As of December 31, 2013, Devon had incurred $28 million of restructuring

costs related to certain office space that is subject to non-cancellable operating lease agreements and that it
ceased using as a part of the office consolidation. Devon’s estimate of lease obligations was based upon certain
key estimates that could change over the term of the leases. These estimates include the estimated sublease
income that it may receive over the term of the leases, as well as the amount of variable operating costs that it
will be required to pay under the leases.

Pursuant to the completed and planned divestitures of Devon’s International assets located outside North
America, a portion of Devon’s foreign earnings had been deemed to no longer be indefinitely reinvested. As of
December 31, 2012, Devon had recognized a $936 million deferred income tax liability related to assumed
repatriations of earnings from its foreign subsidiaries, including $725 million of deferred income tax expense
recognized in 2011.

In the second and fourth quarters of 2013, Devon repatriated to the U. S. a total of $4.3 billion of its cash

held outside of the U. S. In the fourth quarter of 2013, Devon announced plans to divest of its Canadian
conventional assets. These events resulted in an incremental income tax expense of $97 million. The incremental
expense included $180 million of current income tax expense offset by $83 million of deferred income tax
benefit. The $83 million deferred tax benefit was comprised of $180 million of deferred tax benefits that offset
the incremental current income tax expense and an additional $97 million of deferred income tax expense
accrued in the fourth quarter for assumed repatriations.

Devon has recognized a $248 million deferred tax asset related to foreign tax credit carryforwards which
expire between 2019 and 2023. Devon expects the tax benefits from the foreign tax credits to be utilized between
2014 and 2016. Devon also has recognized $183 million of deferred tax assets related to various net operating
loss carryforwards available to offset future income taxes. The carryforwards consist of $673 million of Canadian
net operating loss carryforwards, which expire between 2028 and 2033, and $197 million of state net operating
loss carryforwards, which expire primarily between 2014 and 2032. Devon expects the tax benefits from the
Canadian net operating loss carryforwards to be utilized between 2014 and 2017 and the state net operating loss
carryforwards to be utilized between 2014 and 2020. Devon has also recognized a $105 million deferred tax asset
related to alternative minimum tax credits which have no expiration date and will be available for use against tax
on future taxable income.

The expected utilization of Devon’s carryforwards and credits is based upon current estimates of taxable

income, considering limitations on the annual utilization of these benefits as set forth by tax regulations.
Significant changes in such estimates caused by variables such as future oil, gas and NGL 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 its tax carryforwards and credits
prior to their expiration.

As of December 31, 2013, Devon’s unremitted foreign earnings totaled approximately $4.3 billion. Of this

amount, approximately $1.5 billion was deemed to be indefinitely reinvested into the development and growth of
Devon’s Canadian business. Therefore, Devon has not recognized a deferred tax liability for United States

70

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

income taxes associated with such earnings. If such earnings were to be repatriated to the U.S., Devon may be
subject to United States income taxes and foreign withholding taxes. However, it is not practical to estimate the
amount of such additional taxes that may be payable due to the inter-relationship of the various factors involved
in making such an estimate.

Devon has deemed the remaining $2.8 billion of unremitted earnings not to be indefinitely reinvested.
Consequently, Devon has recognized a $157 million deferred tax liability associated with such unremitted
earnings as of December 31, 2013.

as of December 31, 2013 would affect Devon’s effective income tax rate. Included below is a summary of the tax
years, by jurisdiction, that remain subject to examination by taxing authorities.

Certain statute of limitation expirations are scheduled to occur in the next twelve months. However, Devon
is currently in various stages of the administrative review process for certain open tax years. In addition, Devon
is currently subject to various income tax audits that have not reached the administrative review process. As a
result, Devon cannot reasonably anticipate the extent that the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits will
increase or decrease within the next twelve months.

Crosstex Merger

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

In exchange for a controlling interest in both EnLink and the Partnership, Devon will contribute its equity

interest in a newly formed Devon subsidiary (“EnLink Holdings”) and $100 million in cash. EnLink
Holdings will own Devon’s midstream assets in the Barnett Shale in north Texas and the Cana and Arkoma
Woodford Shales in Oklahoma, as well as Devon’s economic interest in Gulf Coast Fractionators in Mt.
Belvieu, Texas. The Partnership and EnLink will each own 50% of EnLink Holdings. The completion of these
transactions is subject to Crosstex Energy, Inc. shareholder approval. Devon expects Crosstex Energy, Inc.
shareholders will approve the transaction, allowing Devon and Crosstex to complete the transaction near the end
of the first quarter of 2014.

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

•

•

70% – Devon Energy Corporation

30% – Current Crosstex Energy, Inc. public stockholders

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

Subsequent Event (unaudited)

In conjunction with the announcement of the GeoSouthern acquisition, Devon also announced plans to

divest certain non-core properties located throughout Canada and the U.S. On February 19, 2014, Devon
announced its first transaction as part of this divestiture program, in which it agreed to sell the majority of its
Canadian conventional assets to Canadian Natural Resources Limited for approximately $2.8 billion
($3.125 billion in Canadian dollars). This transaction is expected to close early in the second quarter of 2014.

Credit Lines

Devon has a $3.0 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Senior Credit Facility”) that
matures on October 24, 2018. However, prior to the maturity date, Devon has the option to extend the maturity
for up to one additional one-year period, subject to the approval of the lenders.

Amounts borrowed under the Senior Credit Facility may, at the election of Devon, bear interest at various

fixed rate options for periods of up to twelve months. Such rates are generally less than the prime rate. However,
Devon may elect to borrow at the prime rate. The Senior Credit Facility currently provides for an annual facility
fee of $3.8 million that is payable quarterly in arrears. As of December 31, 2013, there were no borrowings under
the Senior Credit Facility.

The Senior Credit Facility contains only one material financial covenant. This covenant requires Devon’s

ratio of total funded debt to total capitalization, as defined in the credit agreement, to be no greater than 65
percent. The credit agreement contains definitions of total funded debt and total capitalization that include
adjustments to the respective amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Also, total
capitalization is adjusted to add back noncash financial write-downs such as full cost ceiling impairments or
goodwill impairments. As of December 31, 2013, Devon was in compliance with this covenant with a debt-to-
capitalization ratio of 25.7 percent.

Commercial Paper

Devon has access to $3.0 billion of short-term credit under its commercial paper program. Commercial
paper debt generally has a maturity of between 1 and 90 days, although it can have a maturity of up to 365 days,
and bears interest at rates agreed to at the time of the borrowing. The interest rate is generally based on a standard
index such as the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, or the money market rate as found in the commercial paper
market. As of December 31, 2013, Devon’s weighted average borrowing rate on its commercial paper
borrowings was 0.30 percent.

Other Debentures and Notes

Following are descriptions of the various other debentures and notes outstanding at December 31, 2013, as

listed in the table presented at the beginning of this note.

GeoSouthern Debt

In December 2013, in conjunction with the planned GeoSouthern acquisition, Devon issued $2.25 billion

In the event that GeoSouthern acquisition is not completed on or prior to June 30, 2014, Devon is required

to redeem each series of new senior notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such series, plus accrued
and unpaid interest. Due to the redemption features, these senior notes were classified as short-term debt on
Devon’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 and will be reclassified as long-term debt once the
acquisition is completed.

Additionally, during December 2013, Devon entered into a term loan agreement with a group of major
financial institutions pursuant to which Devon may draw up to $2.0 billion to finance, in part, the GeoSouthern
acquisition and to pay transaction costs. Half of any loans under the term loan agreement will have a maturity of
three years and the other half will have a maturity of five years (the “5-Year Loans”). The 5-Year Loans will
provide for the partial amortization of principal during the last two years that they are outstanding. Loans
borrowed under the term loan agreement may, at the election of Devon, bear interest at various fixed rate options
for periods up to six months. Such rates are generally less than the prime rate. However, Devon may elect to
borrow at the prime rate. There were no borrowings under the term loan agreement as of December 31, 2013.

Other Notes

In 2012, 2011, 2009 and 2002 Devon issued senior notes that are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations

of Devon. Devon used the net proceeds to repay outstanding commercial paper and credit facility borrowings.

During 2012, Devon recognized revisions to its asset retirement obligations totaling $420 million. The
primary factor contributing to this revision was an overall increase in abandonment cost estimates for certain of
its production operations facilities.

16. Retirement Plans

Devon has various non-contributory defined benefit pension plans, including qualified plans and
nonqualified plans. The qualified plans provide retirement benefits for certain U.S. and Canadian employees
meeting certain age and service requirements. Benefits for the qualified plans are based on the employees’ years
of service and compensation and are funded from assets held in the plans’ trusts.

The nonqualified plans provide retirement benefits for certain employees whose benefits under the qualified

plans are limited by income tax regulations. The nonqualified plans’ benefits are based on the employees’ years
of service and compensation. For certain nonqualified plans, Devon has established trusts to fund these plans’
benefit obligations. The total value of these trusts was $27 million and $31 million at December 31, 2013 and
2012, respectively, and is included in other long-term assets in the accompanying balance sheets. For the
remaining nonqualified plans for which trusts have not been established, benefits are funded from Devon’s
available cash and cash equivalents.

Devon also has defined benefit postretirement plans that provide benefits for substantially all U.S.

employees. The plans provide medical and, in some cases, life insurance benefits and are either contributory or
non-contributory, depending on the type of plan. Benefit obligations for such plans are estimated based on
Devon’s future cost-sharing intentions. Devon’s funding policy for the plans is to fund the benefits as they
become payable with available cash and cash equivalents.

Benefit Obligations and Funded Status

The following table presents the funded status of Devon’s qualified and nonqualified pension and

postretirement benefit plans. The benefit obligation for pension plans represents the projected benefit obligation,
while the benefit obligation for the postretirement benefit plans represents the accumulated benefit obligation.
The accumulated benefit obligation differs from the projected benefit obligation in that the former includes no
assumption about future compensation levels. The accumulated benefit obligation for pension plans was $1.1
billion and $1.2 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Devon’s benefit obligations and plan assets
are measured each year as of December 31. Devon’s 2012 plan settlements relate to a plan amendment which
removed a dollar cap on lump sum payments and revised optional forms of payment to include a lump sum
distribution feature. The projected benefit obligation for Devon’s qualified plans was fully funded as of
December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Discount rate – Future pension and postretirement obligations are discounted at the end of each year based

on the rate at which obligations could be effectively settled, considering the timing of estimated future cash flows
related to the plans. This rate is based on high-quality bond yields, after allowing for call and default risk.

Rate of compensation increase – For measurement of the 2013 benefit obligation for the pension plans, a

4.48 percent compensation increase was assumed.

Expected return on plan assets – The expected rate of return on plan assets was determined by evaluating
input from external consultants and economists, as well as long-term inflation assumptions. Devon expects the
long-term asset allocation to approximate the targeted allocation. Therefore, the expected long-term rate of return
on plan assets is based on the target allocation of investment types. See the pension plan assets section below for
more information on Devon’s target allocations.

Other assumptions – For measurement of the 2013 benefit obligation for the other postretirement medical

plans, a 7.9 percent annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for
2014. The rate was assumed to decrease annually to an ultimate rate of 5 percent in the year 2029 and remain at
that level thereafter. Assumed health care cost-trend rates affect the amounts reported for retiree health care
costs. A one-percentage-point change in the assumed health care cost-trend rates would have changed the
postretirement benefits obligation as of December 31, 2013, by less than $1 million and would change the 2014
service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit cost by less than $1 million.

Pension Plan Assets

Devon’s overall investment objective for its pension plans’ assets is to achieve stability of the plans’ funded
status while providing long-term growth of invested capital and income to ensure benefit payments can be funded
when required. To assist in achieving this objective, Devon has established certain investment strategies,
including target allocation percentages and permitted and prohibited investments, designed to mitigate risks
inherent with investing. Derivatives or other speculative investments considered high risk are generally
prohibited. The following table presents Devon’s target allocation for its pension plan assets.

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

Fixed-income securities – Devon’s fixed-income securities consist of United States Treasury obligations,
bonds issued by investment-grade companies from diverse industries, and asset-backed securities. These fixed-
income securities are actively traded securities that can be redeemed upon demand. The fair values of these
Level 1 securities are based upon quoted market prices.

Devon’s fixed income securities also include commingled funds that primarily invest in long-term bonds
and United States Treasury securities. These fixed income securities can be redeemed on demand but are not
actively traded. The fair values of these Level 2 securities are based upon the net asset values provided by the
investment managers.

Equity securities – Devon’s equity securities include a commingled global equity fund that invests in large,
mid and small capitalization stocks across the world’s developed and emerging markets. These equity securities
can be redeemed on demand but are not actively traded. The fair values of these Level 2 securities are based upon
the net asset values provided by the investment managers.

Other securities – Devon’s other securities include commingled, short-term investment funds. These
securities can be redeemed on demand but are not actively traded. The fair values of these Level 2 securities are
based upon the net asset values provided by investment managers.

Devon’s hedge fund and alternative investments include an investment in an actively traded global mutual
fund that focuses on alternative investment strategies and a hedge fund of funds that invests both long and short
using a variety of investment strategies. Devon’s hedge fund of funds is not actively traded and Devon is subject
to redemption restrictions with regards to this investment. The fair value of this Level 3 investment represents the
fair value as determined by the hedge fund manager.

17. Stockholders’ Equity

The authorized capital stock of Devon consists of 1 billion shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per
share, 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.

Devon’s Board of Directors has designated 2.9 million shares of the preferred stock as Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock (the “Series A Junior Preferred Stock”). At December 31, 2013, 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 $1.00 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 on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Devon, at its option, may redeem shares of the Series
A Junior Participating Preferred Stock in whole at any time and in part from time to time, at a redemption price
equal to 100 times the current per share market price of Devon’s common stock on the date of the mailing of the
notice of redemption. The Series A Junior Preferred Stock ranks prior to the common stock but junior to all other
classes of Preferred Stock.

Stock Repurchases

In the fourth quarter of 2011, Devon completed its 2010 repurchase program. In total, Devon repurchased

49.2 million shares for $3.5 billion, or $71.18 per share.

Dividends

Devon paid common stock dividends of $348 million, $324 million and $278 million in 2013, 2012 and
2011 respectively. The quarterly cash dividend was $0.16 per share in the first quarter of 2011. Devon increased
the dividend rate to $0.17 per share in the second quarter of 2011 and further increased the dividend rate to $0.20
per share in the first quarter of 2012. Devon increased the dividend rate to $0.22 per share in the second quarter
of 2013.

18. Commitments and Contingencies

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

unfavorable outcome to Devon and which can be reasonably estimated are accrued. Such accruals are based on
information known about the matters, Devon’s estimates of the outcomes of such matters and its experience in
contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. None of the actions are believed by management to involve
future amounts that would be material to Devon’s financial position or results of operations after consideration of
recorded accruals. Actual amounts could differ materially from management’s estimates.

Royalty Matters

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

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Environmental Matters

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

Other Matters

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

Purchase obligation amounts represent contractual commitments primarily to purchase condensate at market

prices for use at Devon’s heavy oil projects in Canada. Devon has entered into these agreements because
condensate is an integral part of the heavy oil transportation process. Any disruption in Devon’s ability to obtain
condensate could negatively affect its ability to transport heavy oil at these locations. Devon’s total obligation
related to condensate purchases expires in 2021. The value of the obligation in the table above is based on the
contractual volumes and Devon’s internal estimate of future condensate market prices.

Devon has certain drilling and facility obligations under contractual agreements with third-party service

providers to procure drilling rigs and other related services for developmental and exploratory drilling and
facilities construction.

Devon has certain operational agreements whereby Devon has committed to transport or process certain
volumes of oil, gas and NGLs for a fixed fee. Devon has entered into these agreements to aid the movement of its
production to downstream markets.

Devon leases certain office space and equipment under operating lease arrangements. Total rental expense

included in general and administrative expenses under operating leases, net of sub-lease income, was $26
million, $42 million and $42 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

19. Fair Value Measurements

The following tables provide carrying value and fair value measurement information for certain of Devon’s

financial assets and liabilities. The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, other current receivables,
accounts payable, other payables and accrued expenses included in the accompanying balance sheets
approximated fair value at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Therefore, such financial assets and
liabilities are not presented in the following tables. Additionally, information regarding the fair values of
Devon’s midstream and pension plan assets is provided in Note 4 and Note 16, respectively.

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

Level 1 Fair Value Measurements

Cash equivalents and short-term investments – Amounts consist primarily of United States and Canadian

treasury securities and money market investments. The fair value approximates the carrying value.

Level 2 Fair Value Measurements

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

Commodity, interest rate and foreign currency derivatives – The fair values of commodity, interest rate and

foreign currency derivatives are estimated using internal discounted cash flow calculations based upon forward
curves and data obtained from independent third parties for contracts with similar terms or data obtained from
counterparties to the agreements.

Debt – Devon’s debt instruments do not actively trade in an established market. The fair values of its fixed-

rate debt and floating-rate debt are estimated based on rates available for debt with similar terms and maturity.
The fair value of Devon’s commercial paper and credit facility borrowings are the carrying values.

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

Long-term investments – Devon’s long-term investments presented in the tables above consisted entirely of

auction rate securities. Due to auction failures and the lack of an active market for Devon’s auction rate
securities, quoted market prices for these securities were not available. Therefore, Devon used valuation
techniques that rely on unobservable inputs to estimate the fair values of its long-term auction rate securities.
These inputs were based on continued receipts of principal at par, the collection of all accrued interest to date, the
probability of full repayment of the securities considering the United States government guarantees substantially
all of the underlying student loans, and the AAA credit rating of the securities. As a result of using these inputs,
Devon concluded the estimated fair values of its long-term auction rate securities approximated the par values as
of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Included below is a summary of the changes in Devon’s Level 3 fair value measurements.

21. Segment Information

Devon manages its operations through distinct operating segments, which are defined primarily by
geographic areas. For financial reporting purposes, Devon aggregates its U.S. operating segments into one
reporting segment due to the similar nature of the businesses. However, Devon’s Canadian operating segment is
reported as a separate reporting segment primarily due to the significant differences between the U.S. and
Canadian regulatory environments. Devon’s segments are all primarily engaged in oil and gas producing
activities, and certain information regarding such activities for each segment is included in Note 22. Segment
revenues are all from external customers.

Costs incurred in the tables above include additions and revisions to Devon’s asset retirement obligations.

The proceeds received from our joint venture transactions at closing have not been netted against the costs
incurred. At December 31, 2013, our partners’ remaining commitments to fund our future costs associated with
these joint venture transactions totaled approximately $1.4 billion.

Pursuant to the full cost method of accounting, Devon capitalizes certain of its general and administrative

expenses that are related to property acquisition, exploration and development activities. Such capitalized
expenses, which are included in the costs shown in the preceding tables, were $368 million, $359 million and

91

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

$337 million in the years 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Also, Devon capitalizes interest costs incurred and
attributable to unproved oil and gas properties and major development projects of oil and gas properties.
Capitalized interest expenses, which are included in the costs shown in the preceding tables, were $42 million,
$36 million and $45 million in the years 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Included in the $2.8 billion of oil and gas properties not subject to amortization are approximately $1.6

billion of costs that we deem significant for individual assessment. These costs relate to our investments in the
Pike thermal oil project in Canada, the Mississippian-Woodford Trend in Oklahoma and a portion of our
properties in the Permian Basin in Texas. Based on our development plans, we expect to begin including the Pike
costs in the amortization computation in 2015 when we receive regulatory approval for the first phase of this
project and subsequently begin recognizing the associated proved reserves. We are evaluating and developing the
Mississippian-Woodford and Permian properties over the next 3 to 4 years. We expect to include the costs in the
amortization computation as we complete our evaluation activities.

Results of Operations

The following tables include revenues and expenses associated 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, gas and NGL sales after
deducting costs, including depreciation, depletion and amortization and after giving effect to permanent
differences.

At December 31, 2013, Devon had 701 MMBoe of proved undeveloped reserves. This represents a 17

percent decrease as compared to 2012 and represents 24 percent of total proved reserves. Drilling and
development activities increased Devon’s proved undeveloped reserves 95 MMBoe and resulted in the
conversion of 147 MMBoe, or 18 percent, of the 2012 proved undeveloped reserves to proved developed
reserves. Costs incurred related to the development and conversion of Devon’s proved undeveloped reserves
were $1.9 billion for 2013. Additionally, revisions other than price decreased Devon’s proved undeveloped
reserves 78 MMBoe primarily due to evaluations of certain U.S. onshore dry-gas areas, which Devon does not
expect to develop in the next five years. The largest revisions relate to the dry-gas areas in the Cana-Woodford
Shale in western Oklahoma, Carthage in east Texas and the Barnett Shale in north Texas.

A significant amount of Devon’s proved undeveloped reserves at the end of 2013 related to its Jackfish
operations. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, Devon’s Jackfish proved undeveloped reserves were 441 MMBoe
and 429 MMBoe, respectively. Development schedules for the Jackfish reserves are primarily controlled by the
need to keep the processing plants at their 35,000 barrel daily facility capacity. Processing plant capacity is
controlled by factors such as total steam processing capacity, steam-oil ratios and air quality discharge permits.
As a result, these reserves are classified as proved undeveloped for more than five years. Currently, the
development schedule for these reserves extends though the year 2031.

Price Revisions

2013 – Reserves increased 94 MMBoe primarily due to higher gas prices. Of this increase, 43 MMBoe

related to the Barnett Shale and 19 MMBoe related to the Rocky Mountain area.

2012 – Reserves decreased 171 MMBoe primarily due to lower gas prices. Of this decrease, 100 MMBoe

related to the Barnett Shale and 25 MMBoe related to the Rocky Mountain area.

2011 – Reserves decreased 21 MMBoe due to lower gas prices and higher oil prices. The higher oil prices

increased Devon’s Canadian royalty burden, which reduced Devon’s oil reserves.

Revisions Other Than Price

Total revisions other than price for 2013, 2012 and 2011 primarily related to Devon’s evaluation of certain
dry gas regions, with the largest revisions being made in the Cana-Woodford Shale, Barnett Shale and Carthage
area.

99

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Extensions and Discoveries

2013 – Of the 261 MMBoe of extensions and discoveries, 76 MMBoe related to the Permian Basin in west
Texas and southeast New Mexico, 54 MMBoe related to the Barnett Shale, 42 MMBoe related to the Anadarko
Basin, 38 MMBoe related to Jackfish in northeast Alberta, Canada and 32 MMBoe related to the Mississippian-
Woodford Trend in north Oklahoma.

The 2013 extensions and discoveries included 175 MMBoe related to additions from Devon’s infill drilling

activities, including 23 MMBoe at the Cana-Woodford Shale, 54 MMBoe at the Barnett Shale, 38 MMBoe at
Jackfish, 33 MMBoe at the Permian Basin and 20 MMBoe at the Mississippian-Woodford Trend.

2012 – Of the 449 MMBoe of extensions and discoveries, 151 MMBoe related to the Cana-Woodford Shale,
95 MMBoe related to the Barnett Shale, 72 MMBoe related to the Permian Basin, 67 MMBoe related to Jackfish,
16 MMBoe related to the Rocky Mountain area and 18 MMBoe related to the Granite Wash area.

The 2012 extensions and discoveries included 229 MMBoe related to additions from Devon’s infill drilling

activities, including 134 MMBoe at the Cana-Woodford Shale and 82 MMBoe at the Barnett Shale.

2011 – Of the 421 MMBoe of extensions and discoveries, 162 MMBoe related to the Cana-Woodford Shale,

115 MMBoe related to the Barnett Shale, 39 MMBoe related to the Permian Basin, 30 MMBoe related to
Jackfish, 19 MMBoe related to the Rocky Mountain area and 17 MMBoe related to the Granite Wash area.

The 2011 extensions and discoveries included 168 MMBoe related to additions from Devon’s infill drilling

activities, including 80 MMBoe at the Cana-Woodford Shale and 77 MMBoe at the Barnett Shale.

Future cash inflows, development costs and production costs were computed using the same assumptions for
prices and costs that were used to estimate Devon’s proved oil and gas reserves at the end of each year. For 2013
estimates, Devon’s future realized prices were assumed to be $88.19 per barrel of oil, $47.44 per barrel of
bitumen, $3.10 per Mcf of gas and $26.28 per barrel of natural gas liquids. Of the $10.8 billion of future
development costs as of the end of 2013, $1.9 billion, $1.5 billion and $0.7 billion are estimated to be spent in
2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

Future development costs include not only development costs, but also future asset retirement costs.
Included as part of the $10.8 billion of future development costs are $2.7 billion of future asset retirement costs.
The future income tax expenses have been computed using statutory tax rates, giving effect to allowable tax
deductions and tax credits under current laws.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to
Devon, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify Devon’s financial
reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.

Based on their evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) were effective as of December 31, 2013 to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by
Devon in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting for Devon, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. Under the supervision and with the participation of Devon’s management, including our principal
executive and principal financial officers, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued in 1992 by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “1992 COSO Framework”).
Based on this evaluation under the 1992 COSO Framework, which was completed on February 19, 2014,
management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 has been audited

by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm who audited our consolidated financial
statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, as stated in their report, which is included under
“Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2013 that
has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
