Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE:DVN) today reported net earnings
for the full-year 2014 of $1.6 billion, or $3.93 per common share
($3.91 per diluted share). This compares to a net loss of $20
million in 2013, or $0.06 per common share ($0.06 per diluted
share).
Devon generated cash flow from operations of $6.0 billion in
2014, a 10 percent increase compared to 2013. Including $5.1
billion of cash received from the sale of non-core assets, the
company’s total cash inflows for the year exceeded $11 billion.
For the fourth quarter of 2014, Devon’s core earnings totaled
$343 million, or $0.84 per common share ($0.83 per diluted share).
The company reported a net loss of $408 million, or $1.01 per
common share ($1.01 per diluted share) in the fourth quarter.
“Devon delivered another exceptional performance in the fourth
quarter, rounding out an outstanding year for the company,
including a significant repositioning of the portfolio,” said John
Richels, president and CEO. “Production from our top-tier asset
portfolio exceeded guidance for all products, proved oil reserves
reached a record level and our midstream business increased
profitability to an all-time high.
“We expect to sustain operational momentum in 2015 with the
significant improvements we have seen in our completion designs and
a capital program focused on development drilling,” said Richels.
“With strong results from our enhanced completions and a focus on
core development areas, we expect growth in oil production to be
between 20 and 25 percent in 2015, even with a projected reduction
of approximately 20 percent in E&P capital spending compared to
2014.”
Repositioned Portfolio Exceeds Production
Expectations
Total production from Devon’s retained assets averaged 664,000
oil-equivalent barrels (Boe) per day during the fourth quarter of
2014. This result exceeded the company’s guidance range by 9,000
Boe per day and represents a 20 percent increase compared to the
fourth quarter of 2013. This high-margin growth increased liquids
production to 57 percent of the company’s retained asset mix in the
fourth quarter.
Devon also delivered record oil production of 239,000 barrels
per day in the fourth quarter. This result exceeded the top end of
the company’s guidance range and represents a 48 percent increase
compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. The most significant growth
came from the company’s U.S. operations, where oil production
increased a substantial 82 percent for the quarter year over
year.
The strong growth in U.S. oil production during the quarter was
largely attributable to prolific well results from the company’s
world-class Eagle Ford assets. Net production in the Eagle Ford
averaged 98,000 Boe per day in the fourth quarter, a 100 percent
increase compared to Devon’s first month of ownership in March
2014. The company also achieved another quarter of strong
production growth in the Permian Basin. Led by outstanding results
from Devon’s Delaware Basin assets, total Permian Basin production
increased to 98,000 Boe per day in the fourth quarter, a 14 percent
increase compared to the year-ago period.
In Canada, net oil production from the company’s heavy-oil
projects increased to a record high of 93,000 barrels per day in
the fourth quarter. This strong result exceeded the top end of
Devon’s guidance range by 5,000 barrels per day and represents a 15
percent increase in production compared to the fourth quarter of
2013. This growth was driven by the continued ramp-up of the
company’s newest heavy-oil facility, Jackfish 3, which exited the
year averaging 13,000 barrels per day.
Reserves from Retained Assets Grow; Oil Reserves Climb to
Record Levels
Devon’s estimated proved reserves totaled 2.8 billion
oil-equivalent barrels on Dec. 31, 2014, a 7 percent increase in
reserves compared to the company’s retained asset portfolio in
2013. At year-end, proved oil reserves reached a record 895 million
barrels.
The most significant reserve growth came from Devon’s U.S.
operations, where oil reserves from retained properties increased
65 percent year over year to 351 million barrels. The substantial
growth in U.S. oil reserves is largely attributable to the
company’s Eagle Ford acquisition and its Delaware Basin operations.
During the year, the company’s U.S. drilling programs added 94
million barrels of light-oil reserves through successful drilling
(extensions and discoveries). This represents a replacement rate of
approximately 200 percent of the light oil produced during
2014.
Overall, the company’s reserve life index (proved reserves
divided by annual production from retained properties) remained at
approximately 12 years, and its proved undeveloped reserves
accounted for only 25 percent of proved reserves.
Operations Report
For additional details on Devon’s core and emerging assets,
please refer to the company’s fourth-quarter 2014 Operations Report
at www.devonenergy.com. Highlights from the operations report
include:
- Prolific Q4 results, increasing type
curve for Eagle Ford
- Improved completion design delivers
excellent results in Delaware Basin
- Ramp-up exceeds expectations at
Jackfish 3
- High-rate development wells from
Cana-Woodford
Upstream Revenue Increases 16 Percent; Midstream Profit
Rises
Revenue from oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids sales
totaled $9.9 billion in 2014, a 16 percent increase compared to
2013. The growth in revenue was attributable to the company’s
significant increase in U.S. light-oil production. This high-margin
growth increased oil sales to 60 percent of Devon’s total upstream
revenues during the year.
In the fourth quarter, upstream revenue was $2.1 billion, a 3
percent decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. Cash
settlements related to the company’s oil and natural gas hedges
increased revenue by $4.23 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2014,
partially offsetting lower realized oil and natural gas liquids
prices. At Dec. 31, 2014, Devon’s attractive commodity hedges had a
fair market value of nearly $2.0 billion.
The company’s marketing and midstream business also delivered
excellent results in 2014, with operating profits reaching an
all-time high of $852 million, a 66 percent increase compared to
2013. The year-over-year increase in operating profit was largely
driven by growth from EnLink Midstream.
Cash Operating Costs Decline
The company’s successful cost containment efforts resulted in
lease operating expenses (LOE), the largest cash cost, of $9.29 per
Boe in the fourth quarter. LOE was 5 percent below the low end of
Devon’s guidance range and 2 percent lower than the third quarter
of 2014. The company’s significant scale in core plays coupled with
a consistent focus on efficient operations continues to position
Devon as a low-cost producer.
Production and property taxes were $108 million in the quarter,
essentially flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. Compared
to the previous quarter, lower commodity prices drove a decline in
production and property taxes of 23 percent.
Net financing costs totaled $167 million in the fourth quarter
of 2014, an increase of 50 percent compared to the year-ago
quarter. The higher financing costs were due to a $48 million
charge attributable to the early redemption of $1.9 billion in
senior notes.
General and administrative expenses totaled $252 million in the
fourth quarter of 2014. This compares with $157 million in the
fourth quarter of 2013. The year-over-year increase resulted from
the consolidation of EnLink Midstream and higher employee-related
costs.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense (DD&A)
amounted to $14.89 per Boe in the fourth quarter. For the
full-year, DD&A was $13.51 per Boe and compares to a rate of
$10.99 in 2013. The increase in DD&A rate was primarily
attributable to the company’s Eagle Ford acquisition and EnLink
Midstream transaction.
Devon incurred a $1.9 billion non-cash impairment of goodwill in
the fourth quarter of 2014. The goodwill was recorded more than a
decade ago and was related to an acquisition comprised almost
entirely of conventional gas assets in Canada that Devon no longer
owns. This non-cash impairment was related to the recent drop in
oil prices.
Full-year 2014 income tax expense was $2.4 billion, or 58
percent of pre-tax earnings. This unusually high tax rate resulted
principally from the goodwill impairment charge that lowered
pre-tax earnings but did not impact the company’s full-year tax
obligations. Excluding this impairment charge and other
non-recurring items, Devon’s income tax rate was 35 percent of
adjusted pre-tax earnings for the full year.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity Remain Strong
Devon’s financial position remains exceptionally strong with
investment-grade credit ratings and cash balances of $1.5 billion
at the end of the fourth quarter. During the quarter, the company
redeemed $1.9 billion in senior notes, completing the debt
repayment plan associated with its portfolio transformation. At
Dec. 31, the company’s net debt, excluding non-recourse EnLink
obligations, totaled $7.8 billion.
2015 Outlook: Production Guidance Unchanged; E&P Capital
Reduced 20 Percent
Detailed forward-looking guidance for the first quarter and full
year of 2015 is provided later in the release. A notable component
of this outlook is Devon’s 2015 E&P capital budget of $4.1 to
$4.4 billion. This level of investment implies around a 20 percent
decline in E&P spending compared to 2014 and is designed to
better balance capital expenditures with expected cash inflows.
Even with reduced E&P capital investment in 2015, the
company’s production growth outlook remains unchanged. With
significant improvements in completion design and a capital program
focused on development drilling, Devon expects to deliver oil
production growth of 20 to 25 percent year over year on a retained
property basis. This production outlook is driven by balanced oil
growth in both the U.S. and Canada.
Non-GAAP Reconciliations
Pursuant to regulatory disclosure requirements, Devon is
required to reconcile non-GAAP financial measures to the related
GAAP information (GAAP refers to general accepted accounting
principles). Core earnings and net debt are non-GAAP financial
measures referenced within this release. Reconciliations of these
non-GAAP measures are provided later in this release.
Conference Call Webcast and Supplemental Earnings

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted
disclosure requirements for public companies such as Devon
concerning Non-GAAP financial measures. (GAAP refers to generally
accepted accounting principles). The Company must reconcile the
Non-GAAP financial measure to related GAAP information.
CORE EARNINGS(in millions)
Devon’s reported net earnings include items of income and
expense that are typically excluded by securities analyst in their
published estimates of the company’s financial results. 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 tables summarize the
effects of these items on fourth-quarter and total-year 2014
earnings.

NET DEBT(in millions)
Devon defines net debt as debt less cash and cash equivalents as
presented in the following table. Devon believes that netting these
sources of cash against debt provides a clearer picture of the
future demands on cash to repay debt.
