Devon Energy Reports Third-Quarter 2022 Financial and Operational Results

 

OKLAHOMA CITY – Nov. 1, 2022 – Devon Energy Corp. (NYSE: DVN) today reported financial and operational results for the third-quarter 2022. Supplemental financial tables and forward-looking guidance are available on the company’s website at www.devonenergy.com.

 

 

KEY FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

Fixed-plus-variable dividend increased 61 percent year over year to $1.35 per share
Share-repurchase program on track to decrease share count by 5 percent
Operating cash flow increased 32 percent year over year to $2.1 billion
Disciplined maintenance capital program resulted in free cash flow expanding to $1.5 billion
Delaware Basin drove operating results that were favorable to guidance on production and capital
Accretive bolt-on acquisitions enhance financial and operating outlook for the fourth quarter of 2022

 

CEO PERSPECTIVE

 

“Devon’s third-quarter performance demonstrated the flexibility of our cash-return business model to create value for shareholders in multiple ways,” said Rick Muncrief, president and CEO.

 

“Foundational to our success was the team’s consistent execution of our disciplined plan. This was once again demonstrated by strong well productivity and efficiency gains that drove volumes above the high end of guidance with a capital spend that was below forecast.

 

“Importantly, our strong operating performance resulted in another quarter of impressive financial results that allowed us to reward shareholders with a 61 percent increase in the dividend payout and our ongoing stock buyback program continued to compound per-share growth.

 

“We also took important steps to opportunistically strengthen the quality and depth of our asset portfolio by closing on two highly accretive bolt-on acquisitions that further enhance our ability to deliver sustainable long-term results.

 

“As a result of the immediate value these acquisitions create, we are revising our financial and operational outlook higher for the fourth quarter,” Muncrief commented. “This updated outlook increases production targets, raises free cash flow projections and enhances our ability to deliver differentiated cash returns to shareholders.”

FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

Devon reported net earnings of $1.9 billion, or $2.88 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2022. Adjusting for items analysts typically exclude from estimates, the company’s core earnings were $1.4 billion, or $2.18 per diluted share.

 

Operating cash flow totaled $2.1 billion in the quarter, a 32 percent increase versus the year-ago period. With capital reinvestment rates at 33 percent of cash flow, Devon generated $1.5 billion of free cash flow in the quarter.

During the third quarter, the company closed on acquisitions in the Williston Basin and Eagle Ford for $2.5 billion. After funding these acquisitions with cash, Devon exited September with cash balances of $1.3 billion and strong investment-grade credit ratings.

 

RETURN OF CAPITAL

 

Based on the third-quarter financial performance, Devon declared a fixed-plus-variable dividend of $1.35 per share, an increase of 61 percent from the third quarter of 2021. This dividend payout represents an annualized yield of 7 percent based on the company’s share price as of Oct. 28, 2022.

 

Devon also returned capital to shareholders through the ongoing execution of its $2.0 billion share-repurchase authorization. To date, the company has repurchased 25.2 million shares since the commencement of the program, at a total cost of $1.3 billion. With this repurchase program, Devon is on track to decrease its outstanding share count by 5 percent.

 

OPERATING RESULTS

 

Production for the third quarter averaged 614,000 oil-equivalent barrels (Boe) per day, exceeding guidance by 2 percent. This performance was driven by the company’s Delaware Basin asset that accounted for nearly 70 percent of total production.

 

Devon’s upstream program in the quarter averaged 21 operated drilling rigs and 103 gross operated wells were placed online. Total capital spending was $688 million in the third quarter, or 4 percent below guidance. This positive variance was attributable to efficiency gains and effective supply chain management across the asset portfolio.

 

Production costs, including taxes, averaged $12.99 per Boe in the quarter. This low-cost structure, coupled with exposure to higher-value production, expanded field-level cash margins by 40 percent year-over-year to $51.90 per Boe.

 

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) totaled $10.28 per Boe, a 10 percent increase from the prior quarter. The change was driven by management and cost center streamlining efforts.

The company’s administrative and interest costs improved by 10 percent year-over-year. The reduction in overhead was achieved through the capture of merger-related efficiencies and reduced financing expense.

 

ASSET-LEVEL HIGHLIGHTS

 

Delaware Basin: Production averaged 421,000 Boe per day (50 percent oil). During the quarter, Devon brought online 59 gross wells diversified across 7 targeted landing zones within the Avalon, Bone Spring and Wolfcamp formations. The average lateral length for the wells completed during the quarter was 10,900 feet.

 

Capital activity was headlined by the CDU 604H, which was the company’s first test of the Wolfcamp B interval within Devon’s Cotton Draw area in southern Eddy County. This 3-mile lateral well delivered initial rates that exceeded 6,500 Boe per day and estimated recoveries are on track to reach 3 million Boe over the life of the well. This successful test adds to the depth and quality of the company’s Wolfcamp inventory in the area.

 

For the remainder of 2022, Devon plans to operate 16 rigs and 3 completion crews across its 400,000 net acres and the company remains on track to bring online approximately 215 new wells for the year.

 

Anadarko Basin: Production increased by 4 percent from the previous quarter to an average of 77,000 Boe per day (83 percent gas and NGLs). Devon brought online 13 wells in the quarter that were supported by a $100 million drilling carry with Dow. The carry-enhanced activity was highlighted by the Otto development in Canadian County. This 5-well project co-developed the Meramec and Woodford formations, averaging 30-day rates of more than 2,700 Boe per day.

 

In the fourth quarter, Devon plans to operate an average of 4 rigs and 1 completion crew on its 300,000 net acre position in the basin. This capital program is expected to bring online approximately 25 wells in the upcoming quarter.

Williston Basin: Production averaged 55,000 Boe per day (65 percent oil), a 22 percent increase compared to the previous quarter. This volume growth was driven by closing the RimRock acquisition on July 21, 2022, and the commencement of 10 gross wells to production from the company’s legacy position in the basin.

 

Devon plans to operate 2 rigs and bring online more than 10 gross wells in the fourth quarter across its 123,000 net acre position.

 

Eagle Ford: Production averaged 39,000 Boe per day (49 percent oil). At the end of September, Devon closed on its acquisition of Validus Energy. This accretive transaction valued at approximately 2-times cash flow enhances the company’s operational scale in the core of the Karnes Trough oil window and adds 35,000 Boe per day of high-margin production.

 

In the upcoming quarter, Devon plans to run 4 rigs and 1 completion crew across its 82,000 net acres. This capital program is expected to bring online greater than 20 wells in the fourth quarter.

 

Powder River Basin: Production averaged 18,000 Boe per day (71% oil). Capital activity in the quarter was focused on progressing the appraisal of the Niobrara oil play in Converse County. The top highlight was the SSU MLT 26-14, a 3-mile lateral project, that successfully tested the commerciality of at least 3 Niobrara wells per drilling unit. Initial flow rates from the project exceeded pre-drill expectations by 20 percent, with 30-day rates reaching 1,400 Boe per day, of which 86 percent was oil.

 

For the remainder of the year, Devon plans to run one operated rig and drill approximately 5 new wells across the company’s 300,000 net acre position.

 

UPDATED OUTLOOK

 

Due to the impact of acquisitions, Devon is revising its production forecast higher in the fourth quarter to a range of 640,000 to 660,000 Boe per day, a 6 percent increase compared to the year-ago quarter. This fourth-quarter volume growth will be driven by 35,000 Boe per day of incremental production from the company’s Eagle Ford acquisition.

 

The company also adjusted the midpoint of its upstream capital outlook to $835 million for the upcoming quarter. This guidance incorporates $120 million of incremental capital requirements related to recent bolt-on acquisitions in the Eagle Ford and Williston Basin.

 

Details of Devon’s forward-looking guidance are available on the company’s website at www.devonenergy.com.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

 

(all monetary values in millions, except per share amounts)

 

Devon’s earnings materials include non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are not alternatives to GAAP measures, and you should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Below is additional disclosure regarding each of the non-GAAP measures used in the earnings materials, including reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP measure.

 

The earnings materials may include forward-looking non-GAAP measures. The company is unable to provide reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures, because components of the calculations are inherently unpredictable, such as changes to current assets and liabilities, the timing of changes in capital accruals, unknown future events and estimating certain future GAAP measures. The inability to reliably quantify certain components of the calculation would significantly affect the usefulness and accuracy of a reconciliation.

 

CORE EARNINGS

 

Devon’s reported net earnings include items of income and expense that are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of the company’s financial results. Accordingly, the company also uses the measures of core earnings and core earnings per share attributable to Devon. Devon believes these non-GAAP measures facilitate comparisons of its performance to earnings estimates published by securities analysts. Devon also believes these non-GAAP measures can facilitate comparisons of its performance between periods and to the performance of its peers. The following table summarizes the effects of these items on third-quarter and second-quarter 2022 earnings.

EBITDAX

 

Devon believes EBITDAX provides information useful in assessing operating and financial performance across periods. Devon computes EBITDAX as net earnings before income tax expense; financing costs, net; exploration expenses; depreciation, depletion and amortization; asset impairments; asset disposition gains and losses; non-cash share-based compensation; non-cash valuation changes for derivatives and financial instruments; restructuring and transaction costs; accretion on discounted liabilities; and other items not related to normal operations. EBITDAX as defined by Devon may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

NET DEBT

 

Devon defines net debt as debt (includes short-term and long-term debt) less cash, cash equivalents and cash restricted for discontinued operations. Devon believes that netting these sources of cash against debt provides a clearer picture of the future demands on cash from Devon to repay debt.

Other than for the first and third quarter of 2021, EBITDAX is an annualized measure using a trailing twelve-month calculation. Due to the merger with WPX closing in the first quarter of 2021, first and third quarter 2021 EBITDAX has been calculated using annualized first quarter and September YTD 2021 results, respectively.

 

FREE CASH FLOW
