Download
Highlights
- Oil production from U.S. resource plays exceeds expectations

- Higher-value production expands operating cash flow by 54 percent
- Low cost structure to further improve by year end
- Multi-year production growth and cash flow expansion targets on track
“Devon’s development programs delivered strong growth in high-value
production, significantly enhancing profitability in the first quarter,”
said
“Looking ahead, we expect our operational momentum to build as we continue to accelerate investment across our world-class U.S. drilling programs and shift to full-field development,” said Hager. “With excellent first-quarter results in hand, we are firmly on track to achieve our multi-year growth targets and deliver peer-leading cash flow expansion.”
U.S. Resource Plays Drive Oil and Top-Line Production Beat
Devon’s oil-driven capital program delivered strong production results in the first quarter. Oil production averaged 261,000 barrels per day, a 7 percent increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. This result exceeded the top end of the company’s guidance range by 5,000 barrels per day.
The strong growth in oil production was driven entirely by Devon’s U.S. resource plays, where the company is attaining the highest margins within its portfolio. In total, U.S. oil production reached 123,000 barrels per day in the first quarter, a 17 percent increase compared to the previous quarter. The robust production growth was largely attributable to higher completion activity across the company’s Eagle Ford and STACK operations.
In
Overall, total companywide production averaged 563,000 oil-equivalent barrels (Boe) per day in the first quarter, a 5 percent increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. With Devon’s strong growth in higher-value production, oil is the largest component of Devon’s product mix at 46 percent.
Operational Momentum Builds in U.S. Resource Plays
Devon continued to accelerate investment across its asset portfolio and exited the first quarter with 15 rigs running (includes Eagle Ford partner activity). With these higher activity levels, the company continued to build operational momentum across its world-class U.S. resource plays by commencing production on more than 70 new wells in the quarter that achieved 30-day rates averaging 1,800 Boe per day.
For additional details regarding these prolific well results and other information about Devon’s E&P operations, please refer to the company’s first-quarter 2017 operations report at www.devonenergy.com. Highlights from the report include:
- Wolfcamp program achieves record well result
-

Low Cost Structure to Further Improve by Year End
Devon’s successful cost-reduction initiatives have achieved more than a
G&A expenses were also in line with expectations, amounting to
Importantly, the company’s low cost structure is expected to further improve on a per-unit basis in the second half of 2017. This per-unit improvement is driven by the combination of higher production rates from the company’s U.S. resource plays and relatively flat LOE costs, resulting from efficiency gains within its field operations.
Financial Strength Provides Significant Flexibility
Devon’s financial position remains exceptionally strong, with
investment-grade credit ratings and excellent liquidity. The company
exited the first quarter with
Further bolstering financial strength is the company’s attractive hedge position in 2017. Devon currently has more than 50 percent of its estimated oil and gas production protected for the remainder of 2017 and is in the process of accumulating additional hedges in 2018. This disciplined, risk-management program consists of systematic hedges added on a quarterly basis and discretionary hedges that take advantage of favorable market conditions.
Operating Cash Flow Expands 54 Percent
Devon’s reported net earnings totaled
The company’s profitability in the first quarter was attributable to
strong production growth, higher commodity prices and an improved cost
structure. These factors also strengthened Devon’s operating cash flow
to
Multi-Year Growth Targets Firmly on Track
Based on the strong first-quarter operating performance, Devon is firmly
on track to deliver on its previously announced U.S. oil production
growth targets of 13 to 17 percent in 2017 (compared to the fourth
quarter of 2016). This high-margin growth will be driven by Devon’s
STACK and
To achieve these growth targets, the company expects to invest between
Looking ahead to 2018, the operational momentum created by accelerated
drilling activity in the STACK and
Second-Quarter Production Outlook
Detailed forward-looking guidance for the second quarter and full-year 2017 is provided later in the release. Of note, in the second quarter, Devon expects oil production to range from 230,000 to 240,000 barrels per day due to a planned turnaround at the company’s Jackfish 3 facility and the timing of completions and new well tie-ins within the U.S.
The reduced completion and tie-in activity in the second quarter within the U.S. is expected to be driven entirely by the company’s Eagle Ford asset. In the first quarter, due to efficiency gains, the company and its partner brought online more wells in the Eagle Ford than planned. In spite of this timing difference, the company’s capital and production plan is on track for both the first half of 2017 and the full year.
Non-GAAP Reconciliations
Pursuant to regulatory disclosure requirements, Devon is required to reconcile non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures to the related GAAP information. Core earnings and core earnings per share referenced within the commentary of this release are non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of these and other non-GAAP measures are provided within the tables of this release.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This press release includes 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 this press release, including reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP measure.
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 first-quarter 2017 earnings.

NET DEBT
Devon defines net debt as debt less cash and cash equivalents and net debt attributable to the consolidation of EnLink Midstream as presented in the following table. Devon believes that netting these sources of cash against debt and adjusting for EnLink net debt provides a clearer picture of the future demands on cash from Devon to repay debt.
