INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
     This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated by reference in this report, including, without limitation, statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected revenues, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on our examination of historical operating trends, the information used to prepare the December 31, 2009 reserve reports and other data in our possession or available from third parties. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue” or similar terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to, our assumptions about:
    energy markets, including the supply and demand for oil, gas, NGLs and other products or services, and the prices of oil, gas, NGLs, including regional pricing differentials, and other products or services;
 
    production levels, including Canadian production subject to government royalties, which fluctuate with prices and production, and International production governed by payout agreements, which affect reported production;
 
    reserve levels;
 
    competitive conditions;
 
    technology;
 
    the availability of capital resources within the securities or capital markets and related risks such as general credit, liquidity, market and interest-rate risks;
 
    capital expenditure and other contractual obligations;
 
    currency exchange rates;
 
    the weather;
 
    inflation;
 
    the availability of goods and services;
 
    drilling risks;
 
    future processing volumes and pipeline throughput;
 
    general economic conditions, whether internationally, nationally or in the jurisdictions in which we or our subsidiaries conduct business;
 
    public policy and government regulatory changes, including changes in royalty, production tax and income tax regimes, changes in hydraulic fracturing regulation, changes in environmental regulation and liability under federal, state, local or foreign environmental laws and regulations;
 
    terrorism;
 
    occurrence, timing and completion of property acquisitions or divestitures; and
 
    risk factors disclosed under “Item 1A” in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as other factors disclosed under “Item 2. Properties — Proved Reserves and Estimated Future Net Revenue,” “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”
     All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Devon, or persons acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements.

5. Property and Equipment
Offshore Divestitures
     In November 2009, Devon announced plans to reposition itself strategically as a high-growth, North America onshore exploration and production company. As part of this strategic repositioning, Devon is bringing forward the value of its offshore assets by divesting them.
Closed Transactions
     The following table presents Devon’s offshore divestiture transactions that closed in the first six months of 2010. Gross proceeds represent contract prices based upon a January 1, 2010 effective date for the Gulf of Mexico divestitures and a May 1, 2010 effective date for the China – Panyu divestiture. After-tax proceeds represent gross proceeds adjusted for customary purchase price adjustments, selling costs and income taxes. The purchase price adjustments consist primarily of net cash flow subsequent to the effective date of the divestitures. Proved reserves in the following table are based upon estimated proved reserves as of the divestiture dates.
                         
    Gross Proceeds     After-Tax Proceeds     Proved Reserves  
    (In millions)     (MMBoe)  
                    (Unaudited)  
Gulf of Mexico (continuing operations)
  $ 4,150     $ 3,212       91  
China – Panyu (discontinued operations)
    515       405       13  
 
                 
Total
  $ 4,665     $ 3,617       104  
 
                 
     Proceeds from these divestitures are being used to retire debt and repurchase Devon common shares. Additionally, Devon is using divestiture proceeds to fund North America Onshore exploration and development opportunities, including a joint-venture investment in the Pike oil sands discussed below.
     Under full cost accounting rules, sales or other dispositions of oil and gas properties are generally accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs, with no recognition of gain or loss. However, if not recognizing a gain or loss on the disposition would otherwise significantly alter the relationship between a cost center’s capitalized costs and proved reserves, then a gain or loss must be recognized.
     The Gulf of Mexico divestitures presented above did not significantly alter such relationship for Devon’s United States cost center. Therefore, Devon did not recognize a gain in connection with the Gulf of Mexico divestitures. Panyu was Devon’s only producing property in its China cost center. As a result, Devon recognized a $308 million ($235 million after-tax) gain in connection with the Panyu divestiture. This gain is included in “earnings from discontinued operations” in the accompanying 2010 consolidated statements of operations.
Pending Transactions
     Devon has entered into agreements to sell its Azerbaijan and Brazil assets for $5.2 billion. Devon has received the necessary government approvals for the Azerbaijan transaction, which is now scheduled to close on August 16, 2010. The Brazil transaction continues to progress through the approval process of the Brazilian government and is on track to close around the end of 2010. Devon expects to record gains when such transactions close. Devon has also entered into an agreement to sell its remaining assets in China for $0.1 billion.
Deepwater Drilling Rigs
     As part of its offshore operations, Devon was leasing three deepwater drilling rigs. The Seadrill West Sirius and Ocean Endeavor deepwater drilling rigs were used in Devon’s Gulf of Mexico operations. The Transocean Deepwater Discovery is being used in Devon’s operations in Brazil.
     In conjunction with the deepwater Gulf of Mexico divestiture that closed in the second quarter of 2010, the buyer assumed Devon’s lease and remaining commitments for the Seadrill West Sirius rig. Subsequent to closing all its Gulf of Mexico

divestitures, Devon agreed to pay $31 million to the owner of the Ocean Endeavor rig to terminate the lease. The $31 million lease termination cost is included in oil and gas property and equipment in the accompanying June 30, 2010, consolidated balance sheet. The buyer of Devon’s assets in Brazil will assume Devon’s lease and remaining commitments for the Transocean Deepwater Discovery rig when the divestiture transaction closes.
Oil Sands Joint Venture
     In conjunction with certain offshore divestitures in the second quarter of 2010, Devon formed a heavy oil joint venture to operate and develop the Pike oil sands leases in Alberta, Canada. As a result, Devon acquired a 50 percent interest in the Pike oil sands leases for $500 million. Devon will also fund $155 million of Canadian dollar capital costs on behalf of its joint-venture partner in the form of a non-interest bearing promissory note. The majority of the capital costs are expected to be paid during 2011 and 2012. See Note 8 for more information regarding the promissory note.
6. Goodwill
     During the first six months of 2010, Devon’s Canadian goodwill decreased $38 million. This decrease was entirely due to foreign currency translation.
7. Other Current Liabilities
     The components of other current liabilities include the following:
                 
    June 30, 2010     December 31, 2009  
    (In millions)  
Income taxes payable
  $ 752     $ 40

8. Debt
Commercial Paper
     During the first six months of 2010, Devon repaid $1.4 billion of commercial paper borrowings primarily with proceeds received from its Gulf of Mexico property divestitures.
     In May 2010, Devon reduced the maximum allowed borrowings under its commercial paper program from $2.85 billion to approximately $2.2 billion. At June 30, 2010, Devon had no outstanding commercial paper borrowings.
$350 Million 7.25% Senior Notes Due October 1, 2011
     On June 25, 2010, Devon redeemed $350 million of 7.25% senior notes prior to their scheduled maturity of October 1, 2011, primarily with proceeds received from its Gulf of Mexico divestitures. The notes were redeemed for $384 million, which represented 100 percent of the principal amount, a make-whole premium of $28 million and $6 million of accrued and unpaid interest. On the date of redemption, these notes also had an unamortized premium of $9 million. The $28 million make-whole premium and $9 million amortization of the remaining premium are included in interest expense in the accompanying 2010 consolidated statements of operations.
Non-Interest Bearing Promissory Note
     On June 29, 2010, Devon issued a four-year $155 million Canadian dollar non-interest bearing promissory note in connection with the formation of the Pike oil sands joint venture described in Note 5. The present value of the note was $139 million on the issue date based upon an effective interest rate of 3.125%. Of the $139 million, $53 million is presented as

short-term debt and the remainder is presented as long-term debt in the accompanying June 30, 2010, consolidated balance sheet.
Credit Lines
     In the second quarter of 2010, Devon cancelled its $700 million Short-Term Facility prior to its November 2, 2010 maturity date. Devon incurred no cost to cancel the facility and will avoid paying the facility fee that pertains to the cancellation period.
     Devon has a syndicated, unsecured revolving line of credit that can be accessed to provide liquidity as needed. The following schedule summarizes the capacity of Devon’s Senior Credit Facility by maturity date, as well as its available capacity as of June 30, 2010 (in millions).

     The Senior Credit Facility contains only one material financial covenant. This covenant requires Devon’s ratio of total funded debt to total capitalization to be less than 65%. The credit agreement contains definitions of total funded debt and total capitalization that include adjustments to the respective amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Also, total capitalization is adjusted to add back noncash financial writedowns such as full cost ceiling impairments or goodwill impairments. As of June 30, 2010, Devon was in compliance with this covenant. Devon’s debt-to-capitalization ratio at June 30, 2010, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the agreement, was 16.1%.

     During the first six months of 2010 and 2009, Devon recognized revisions to its asset retirement obligations totaling $194 million and $22 million, respectively. The primary factors causing the 2010 and 2009 increases were an overall increase in abandonment cost estimates and a decrease in the discount rate used to present value the obligations.
     During the first six months of 2010, Devon reduced its asset retirement obligations by $256 million for those obligations that were assumed by purchasers of Devon’s Gulf of Mexico oil and gas properties.
10. Retirement Plans

12. 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 that 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. However, actual amounts could differ materially from management’s estimate.
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 statutes. In response to liabilities associated with these activities, loss accruals primarily consist of estimated uninsured costs associated with remediation. Devon’s monetary exposure for environmental matters is not expected to be material.
Royalty Matters
     Numerous natural gas producers and related parties, including Devon, have been named in various lawsuits alleging violation of the federal False Claims Act. The suits allege that the producers and related parties used below-market prices, improper deductions, improper measurement techniques and transactions with affiliates, which resulted in underpayment of royalties in connection with natural gas and NGLs produced and sold from federal and Indian-owned or controlled lands. Devon does not currently believe that it is subject to material exposure with respect to such royalty matters.
Other Matters
     Devon is involved in other various routine legal proceedings incidental to its business. However, to Devon’s knowledge as of the date of this report, neither Devon nor its property is subject to any material pending legal proceedings.
Commitments
     At the end of 2009, Devon’s commitments included $0.9 billion that related to long-term lease contracts for two deepwater drilling rigs being used in the Gulf of Mexico. As discussed in Note 5, Devon no longer has lease commitments for these two rigs.
     At the end of 2009, Devon’s commitments also included $0.5 billion that related to a long-term lease contract for a deepwater drilling rig being used in Brazil. Devon’s lease and remaining commitments for this rig will be assumed by the buyer of Devon’s assets in Brazil when the associated divestiture transaction closes.
     At the end of 2009, Devon’s commitments also included $0.4 billion that related to leases of floating, production, storage and offloading facilities being used in the Gulf of Mexico, Brazil and China. Devon’s commitments for the Gulf of Mexico and China leases were assumed by the purchasers in the first half of 2010. The Brazil lease will be assumed by the buyer when the associated divestiture transaction closes.

     Devon’s Level 3 fair value measurements included in the table above relate to a non-interest bearing promissory note and certain long-term investments. As discussed in Note 8, Devon issued a non-interest bearing promissory note that was recorded at its estimated present value of $139 million on the June 29, 2010 issue date. As a result, Devon’s Level 3 measurements for debt increased $139 million during the first six months of 2010. The changes in the Level 3 measurements for long-term investments during the first six months of 2010 and 2009 resulted entirely of redemptions of principal.
14. Restructuring Costs
     In the fourth quarter of 2009, Devon recognized $153 million of estimated employee severance costs associated with the planned divestiture of its offshore assets that was announced in November 2009. This amount was based on estimates of the number of employees that will ultimately be impacted by the divestitures and included amounts related to cash severance costs and accelerated vesting of share-based grants. Of the $153 million total, $105 million related to Devon’s U.S. Offshore operations and the remainder related to its International discontinued operations.
     As discussed in Note 5, Devon had divested all its U.S. Offshore assets by the end of the second quarter of 2010. As a result of these divestitures and associated employee terminations, Devon decreased its estimate of employee severance costs in the second quarter of 2010 by $14 million. As a result, Devon now estimates it will incur approximately $139 million of employee severance costs. The lower estimate results primarily from more offshore employees than previously estimated receiving comparable positions with the purchaser of the properties or in Devon’s U.S. Onshore operations. Of the $139 million total, $95 million relates to Devon’s U.S. Offshore operations and the remainder relates to its International discontinued operations. Of the $14 million reduction recognized in the second quarter of 2010, $9 million relates to Devon’s U.S. Offshore operations and the remainder relates to its International discontinued operations.
     All cash severance and accelerated vesting of share-based grants are included in restructuring costs in the accompanying 2010 consolidated statements of operations. Amounts related to cash severance costs are accrued for in other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets while amounts related to accelerated share-based awards are recorded as a reduction to Devon’s additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

15. Reduction of Carrying Value of Oil and Gas Properties
     In the first quarter of 2009, Devon reduced the carrying value of its United States oil and gas properties $6,408 million, or $4,085 million after taxes, due to a full cost ceiling limitation. The reduction resulted from a significant decrease in the full cost ceiling compared to the immediately preceding quarter due to the effects of declining natural gas prices subsequent to December 31, 2008.
16. Discontinued Operations
     Revenues related to Devon’s discontinued operations totaled $222 million and $434 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively, and $268 million and $396 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2009, respectively.

Reductions of Carrying Value of Oil and Gas Properties
     In the first quarter of 2009, Devon reduced the carrying values of its Brazilian and other International oil and gas properties, which are now held for sale, $109 million due to full cost ceiling limitations. The Brazilian reduction of $103 million, which had no related tax benefit, resulted largely from an exploratory well drilled at the BM-BAR-3 block in the offshore Barreirinhas Basin. After drilling this well in the first quarter of 2009, Devon concluded that the well did not have adequate reserves for commercial viability. As a result, the seismic, leasehold and drilling costs associated with this well contributed to the reduction recognized in the first quarter of 2009.
Divestiture

17. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
     The following table reconciles earnings (loss) from continuing operations and common shares outstanding used in the calculations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Because a net loss from continuing operations was generated during the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, the dilutive shares produce an antidilutive net loss per share result. Therefore, the diluted loss per share from continuing operations in the six months ended June 30, 2009 reported in the accompanying 2009 consolidated statement of operations is the same as the basic loss per share amount.

During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009, 7.1 million shares and 8.9 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations.

18. Segment Information
     Devon manages its operations through distinct operating segments, or divisions, which are defined primarily by geographic areas. For financial reporting purposes, Devon aggregates its United States divisions into one reporting segment due to the similar nature of the business. However, Devon’s Canadian and International divisions are reported as separate reporting segments primarily due to significant differences in the respective regulatory environments.
     Following is certain financial information regarding Devon’s reporting segments. The revenues reported are all from external customers.

     During the second quarter and first six months of 2010, we generated net earnings of $706 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, and $1.9 billion, or $4.24 per diluted share, for the respective periods. This compares to net earnings of $314 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2009 and a net loss of $3.6 billion, or $8.21 per diluted share for the first half of 2009. Our financial results for the first half of 2009 were negatively impacted by a $6.4 billion ($4.1 billion after tax) reduction of the carrying value of our United States oil and gas properties.
     Key measures of our performance for the second quarter and first six months of 2010 compared to 2009 are summarized below:
    The combined realized price without hedges for oil, gas and NGLs increased 27% and 42% in the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively.
 
    Oil and gas derivatives generated net gains of $45 million and $665 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively, and net gains of $13 million and $167 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2009. Included in these amounts were cash receipts of $252 million and $348 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively, and cash receipts of $114 million and $232 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2009, respectively.
 
    Operating cash flow increased 39% to $2.9 billion in the first half of 2010.
 
    Production decreased 3% and 4% in the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively.
 
    Per unit operating costs increased 12% to $7.56 per Boe and 5% to $7.49 per Boe in the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively.
 
    Marketing and midstream operating profit decreased 3% to $125 million and 6% to $258 in the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively.
 
    Cash spent on capital expenditures was approximately $3.2 billion in the first six months of 2010.
     Additionally, we have made significant progress toward completion of our offshore divestiture program. In the second quarter of 2010, we completed our exit from the Gulf of Mexico and divested our Panyu operations in China. During the first six months of 2010, our divestitures generated total after-tax proceeds of $3.6 billion. In accordance with full cost accounting rules, we did not recognize a gain on the Gulf of Mexico divestitures. We recognized a $235 million after-tax gain on the Panyu divestiture.
     Additionally, we have entered into agreements to sell our Azerbaijan and Brazil assets for $5.2 billion. We have received the necessary government approvals for the Azerbaijan transaction, which is now scheduled to close on August 16, 2010. The Brazil transaction continues to progress through the approval process of the Brazilian government and is on track to close around the end of 2010. We have also entered into an agreement to sell our remaining assets in China for $0.1 billion.
     Furthermore, in connection with the completed divestitures, we have substantially reduced our deepwater drilling rig commitments. We no longer have lease commitments for the two deepwater drilling rigs that were being used in the Gulf of Mexico. The third deepwater drilling rig is being used in our Brazil operations and will be assumed by the buyer when that divestiture transaction closes.
     The divestiture process is ongoing for our exploration assets in Angola and other minor International assets. Once all divestiture assets are sold, we estimate the total pre-tax proceeds will approximate $10 billion and the after-tax proceeds will be approximately $8 billion. As a result of the success we have experienced with our offshore divestiture

27


 

program, we are using the divestiture proceeds to invest in North America Onshore exploration and development opportunities, repurchase our common shares and reduce outstanding debt.
     In conjunction with certain offshore divestitures in the second quarter of 2010, we formed a heavy oil joint venture to operate and develop the Pike oil sands leases in Alberta, Canada. As a result, we acquired a 50 percent interest in the Pike oil sands leases for $500 million. We will also fund $155 million of Canadian dollar capital costs on behalf of our joint-venture partner. The majority of these costs are expected to be paid during 2011 and 2012.
     In May 2010, we announced a share repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to $3.5 billion of our common shares. During the second quarter of 2010, we repurchased 7.6 million shares for $495 million, or $65.07 per share. We repaid all our outstanding commercial paper and redeemed our $350 million 7.25% senior notes prior to their scheduled maturity with proceeds from the U.S. Offshore divestitures.
     Additionally, our performance and divestitures to date enabled us to end the second quarter of 2010 with a robust level of liquidity. As of June 30, 2010, we held $2.9 billion in cash and had $2.6 billion of available credit under our credit lines. This liquidity will allow us to continue repurchasing common shares and investing in the opportunities that exist across our North America Onshore portfolio of properties.

Oil Sales
     Oil sales increased $124 million in the second quarter of 2010 as a result of a 23% increase in our realized price without hedges. The largest contributor to the increase in our realized price was the increase in the average NYMEX West Texas

29


 

Intermediate index price over the same time period. This was partially offset by an increase in our price differential based upon the NYMEX index price. The higher differential resulted primarily from the increase in our heavy oil production and the widening of the associated differential related to our Canadian operations.
     Oil sales increased $8 million in the second quarter of 2010 due to a one percent increase in production. The increase was comprised of the net effects of a 6% increase in our North America Onshore production and a 37% decrease in our U.S. Offshore production. The increased North America Onshore production resulted primarily from the continued development activities at our Jackfish operations in Canada. The decrease in our U.S. Offshore production was primarily due to the divestiture of these properties in the second quarter of 2010.
     Oil sales increased $505 million in the first half of 2010 as a result of a 57% increase in our realized price without hedges. The largest contributor to the increase in our realized price was the increase in the average NYMEX West Texas Intermediate index price over the same time period.
     Oil sales increased $10 million in the first half of 2010 due to a one percent increase in production. The increase was comprised of the net effects of a 3% increase in our North America Onshore production and a 16% decrease in our U.S. Offshore production. The increased North America Onshore production resulted primarily from the continued development activities at our Jackfish operations in Canada. The decrease in our U.S. Offshore production was primarily due to the divestiture of these properties in the second quarter of 2010.
Gas Sales
     Gas sales increased $169 million during the second quarter of 2010 as a result of a 24% increase in our realized price without hedges. This increase was largely due to increases in the North American regional index prices upon which our gas sales are based.
     A 16 Bcf decrease in production during the second quarter of 2010 caused gas sales to decrease by $47 million. The decrease in production was primarily due to reduced drilling during most of 2009 for our North America Onshore properties. As a result of the reduced drilling in response to lower gas prices, natural declines of existing wells outpaced production gains from new drilling. Also, the divestiture of our U.S. Offshore properties in the second quarter of 2010 contributed four Bcf to the decrease.
     Gas sales increased $409 million during the first half of 2010 as a result of a 27% increase in our realized price without hedges. This increase is largely due to increases in the North American regional index prices upon which our gas sales are based.
     A 35 Bcf decrease in production during the first half of 2010 caused gas sales to decrease by $113 million. The decrease in production was primarily due to reduced drilling during most of 2009 for our North America Onshore properties. As a result of the reduced drilling in response to lower gas prices, natural declines of existing wells outpaced production gains from new drilling. Also, the divestiture of our U.S. Offshore properties in the second quarter of 2010 contributed four Bcf to the decrease.
NGL Sales
     NGL sales increased $69 million during the second quarter of 2010 as a result of a 39% increase in our realized price without hedges. NGL sales increased $202 million during the first half of 2010 as a result of a 63% increase in our realized price without hedges. These increases were largely due to increases in the Mont Belvieu, Texas index price over the same time periods.

     In 2010, our oil and gas derivatives included gas price swaps, gas basis swaps and oil and gas costless price collars. In 2009, our oil and gas derivatives included only gas price collars. For the price swaps, we receive a fixed price for our production and pay a variable market price to the contract counterparty. The price collars set a floor and ceiling price. If the applicable monthly price indices are outside of the ranges set by the floor and ceiling prices in the various collars, we cash-settle the difference with the counterparty. For the basis swaps, we receive a fixed differential between two regional gas index prices and pay a variable differential on the same two index prices to the contract counterparty. Cash settlements as presented in the tables above represent net realized gains related to our price swaps, price collars and basis swaps.
     During the second quarter and first half of 2010, we received $252 million, or $1.06 per Mcf, and $348 million, or $0.75 per Mcf, respectively, from counterparties to settle our gas derivatives. During the second quarter and first half of 2009, we received $114 million, or $0.45 per Mcf, and $232 million, or $0.47 per Mcf, respectively, from counterparties to settle our gas derivatives. We had no settlements on oil derivatives in any of these periods.

     In addition to recognizing these cash settlement effects, we also recognize unrealized changes in the fair values of our oil and gas derivatives in each reporting period. We estimate the fair values of our oil and gas derivatives primarily by using internal discounted cash flow calculations. From time to time, we validate our valuation techniques by comparing our internally generated fair value estimates with those obtained from contract counterparties or brokers.
     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. Based on the amount of volumes subject to our gas derivatives at June 30, 2010, a 10% increase in these forward curves would have decreased the fair value of our gas derivatives by approximately $160 million. A 10% increase in the forward curves associated with our oil derivatives would have decreased the fair value of our oil derivatives by approximately $90 million. Another key input to our cash flow calculations is our estimate of volatility for these forward curves, which we base primarily upon implied volatility. Finally, the amount of volumes subject to oil and gas derivatives is not a variable in our cash flow calculations but does impact the total derivative values.
     Counterparty credit risk is also a component of commodity derivative valuations. We have mitigated our exposure to any single counterparty by contracting with numerous counterparties. Our commodity derivative contracts are held with thirteen separate counterparties. Additionally, our derivative contracts generally require cash collateral to be posted if either our or the counterparty’s credit rating falls below “investment grade”. The threshold for collateral posting decreases as the debt rating falls further below investment grade. Such thresholds generally range from zero to $50 million for the majority of our contracts. As of June 30, 2010, the credit ratings of all our counterparties were investment grade.
     Including the cash settlements discussed above, the net gains from our oil and gas derivatives were $45 million and $665 million during the second quarter and first half of 2010, respectively. Including the cash settlements discussed above, the net gains from our oil and gas derivatives were $13 million and $167 million during the second quarter and first half of 2009, respectively. In addition to the impact of cash settlements, these net gains were impacted by new positions and settlements that occurred during each period, as well as the relationships between contract prices and the associated forward curves. A summary of our outstanding oil and gas derivative positions as of the end of the second quarter of 2010 is included in Item 3. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of this report.
Marketing and Midstream Revenues and Operating Costs and Expenses
     The details of the changes in marketing and midstream revenues, operating costs and expenses and the resulting operating profit are shown in the table below.

(1)   All percentage changes included in this table are based on actual figures and are not calculated using the rounded figures included in this table.
     During the second quarter of 2010, marketing and midstream revenues increased $46 million and operating costs and expenses increased $50 million, causing operating profit to decrease $4 million. During the first half of 2010, marketing and midstream revenues increased $205 million and operating costs and expenses increased $223 million, causing operating profit to decrease $18 million. Revenues, expenses and operating profit increased due to higher natural gas and NGL production and processing prices, partially offset by the effects of lower gas pipeline throughput. However, the increases in operating profit resulting from these factors were more than offset by lower gas margins.

     LOE increased $32 million in the second quarter of 2010, which included a $45 million increase related to our North America Onshore operations and a $13 million decrease related to our U.S. Offshore operations. North America Onshore LOE increased $24 million due to changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollars. Increased costs related to our Jackfish operations in Canada and higher repairs and maintenance costs across our other North America Onshore properties also caused LOE to increase $27 million. North America Onshore LOE decreased $6 million as a result of our 2% decrease in North America Onshore production. U.S. Offshore LOE decreased primarily due to property divestitures in the second quarter of 2010. Excluding the decrease due to lower production, these factors were also the main contributors to the changes in LOE per Boe.
     LOE increased $6 million in the first half of 2010, which included a $27 million increase related to our North America Onshore operations and a $21 million decrease related to our U.S. Offshore operations. North America Onshore LOE increased $56 million due to changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollars. The 3% decrease in North America Onshore production caused LOE to decline $24 million. North America Onshore LOE decreased $5 million due to lower costs for materials, equipment and personnel, as well as declines in maintenance and well workover projects. U.S. Offshore LOE decreased $21 million primarily due to property divestitures in the second quarter of 2010 and hurricane repair expenses incurred in 2009. The increase due to exchange rates was also the main contributor to the changes in LOE per Boe.
Taxes Other Than Income Taxes
     The following table details the changes in our taxes other than income taxes.

     Production taxes increased $18 million and $45 million in the second quarter of 2010 and first half of 2010, respectively, primarily due to an increase in our U.S. Onshore revenues. Ad valorem taxes decreased $3 million and $17 million respectively, primarily due to lower estimated assessed values of our oil and gas property and equipment.

2010 DD&A
  $ 426     $ 852  
 
           
     Oil and gas property-related DD&A increased $11 million during the second quarter of 2010 due to a 3% increase in the DD&A rate. Our drilling activities subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2009 have resulted in proved reserve additions at a cost higher than the second quarter 2009 DD&A rate, causing the rate to increase. In addition, changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollars increased our rate. These increases were partially offset by the effect of our U.S. Offshore property divestitures in 2010.
     Oil and gas property-related DD&A decreased $98 million during the first half of 2010 due to a 10% decrease in the DD&A rate. The largest contributor to the rate decrease was a reduction of the carrying value of our United States oil and gas properties recognized in the first quarter of 2009. This reduction totaled $6.4 billion and resulted from a full cost ceiling limitation. Additionally, our U.S. Offshore property divestitures in 2010 also contributed to the rate decrease. These decreases were partially offset by the effect of changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollars, as well as the effect resulting from drilling activities, which both caused the rate to increase.
General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”)

     Gross G&A decreased $53 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The largest contributor to the decrease was lower severance costs associated with certain Gulf of Mexico employees that were impacted

34


 

by the integration of our Gulf of Mexico and International operations into one offshore unit in the second quarter of 2009. Additionally, gross G&A and capitalized G&A decreased due to lower employee compensation and benefits, as well as initiatives to manage spending in certain discretionary cost categories. These decreases were partially offset by the effects of changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollars.
     Gross G&A decreased $96 million in the first half of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The largest contributor to the decrease was lower severance costs associated with employee departures and the offshore integration discussed above. In addition, gross G&A and capitalized G&A decreased due to lower employee compensation and benefits, as well as initiatives to manage spending in certain discretionary cost categories. These decreases were partially offset by the effects of changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollars.
Restructuring Costs
     In the fourth quarter of 2009, we recognized $153 million of estimated employee severance costs associated with the planned divestitures of our offshore assets that was announced in November 2009. This amount was based on estimates of the number of employees that will ultimately be impacted by the divestitures and included amounts related to cash severance costs and accelerated vesting of share-based grants. Of the $153 million total, $105 million related to our U.S. Offshore operations and the remainder related to our International discontinued operations.
     We had divested all our U.S. Offshore assets by the end of the second quarter of 2010. As a result of these divestitures and associated employee terminations, we decreased our estimate of employee severance costs in the second quarter of 2010 by $14 million. As a result, we now estimate we will incur approximately $139 million of employee severance costs. The lower estimate results primarily from more offshore employees than previously estimated receiving comparable positions with the purchaser of the properties or in our U.S. Onshore operations. Of the $14 million reduction in estimated employee severance costs recognized in the second quarter of 2010, $9 million related to our U.S. Offshore operations and the remainder related to our International discontinued operations. We also incurred other contract termination charges totaling $1 million in the second quarter of 2010 that related to our U.S. Offshore operations.
Interest Expense
     The following schedule includes the components of interest expense.

     Interest based on debt outstanding decreased during the second quarter and first six months of 2010 primarily due to the retirement of $177 million of 10.125% notes upon their maturity in the fourth quarter of 2009.
     Capitalized interest decreased during the second quarter and first six months of 2010 primarily due to the divestitures of our U.S. Offshore properties in 2010.
     In the second quarter of 2010, we redeemed $350 million of 7.25% senior notes prior to their scheduled maturity of October 1, 2011. The notes were redeemed for $384 million, which represented 100 percent of the principal amount, a make-whole premium of $28 million and $6 million of accrued and unpaid interest. On the date of redemption, these notes also had an unamortized premium of $9 million. The $19 million presented in the table above represents the net of the $28 million make-whole premium and $9 million amortization of the remaining premium.

Non-Oil and Gas Financial Instruments
     The details of the changes in our non-oil and gas financial instruments, which consisted entirely of interest rate swaps, are shown in the table below.

Total
  $ 81     $ (10 )   $ 66     $ (15 )
 
                       
     During the second quarter and first six months of 2010, we received cash settlements totaling $4 million and $20 million, respectively, from counterparties to settle our interest rate swaps. During the second quarter and first six months of 2009, we received such cash settlements totaling $5 million and $21 million, respectively.
     In addition to recognizing cash settlements, we also recognize unrealized changes in the fair values of our interest rate swaps each reporting period. 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. We periodically validate our valuation techniques by comparing our internally generated fair value estimates with those obtained from contract counterparties or brokers.
     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 a third party. Based on the notional amount subject to the interest rate swaps at June 30, 2010, a 10% increase in these forward curves would have increased the fair value of our interest rate swaps by approximately $46 million.
     As previously discussed for our commodity derivative contracts, counterparty credit risk is also a component of interest rate derivative valuations. We have mitigated our exposure to any single counterparty by contracting with several counterparties. Our interest rate derivative contracts are held with seven separate counterparties. Additionally, our derivative contracts generally require cash collateral to be posted if either our or the counterparty’s credit rating falls below investment grade. The mark-to-market exposure threshold, above which collateral must be posted, decreases as the debt rating falls further below investment grade. Such thresholds generally range from zero to $50 million for the majority of our contracts. The credit ratings of all our counterparties were investment grade as of June 30, 2010.
     Including the cash settlements discussed above, the net losses from our interest rate swaps were $81 million and $66 million during the second quarter and first half of 2010, respectively. Including the cash settlements discussed above, the net gains from our interest rate swaps were $10 million and $15 million during the second quarter and first half of 2009, respectively. In addition to the impact of cash settlements, these net gains and losses were impacted by new positions and settlements that occurred during each period, as well as the relationships between contract rates and the associated future interest rate yields. A summary of our outstanding interest rate swap positions as of the end of the second quarter of 2010 is included in Item 3. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of this report.
Reduction of Carrying Value of Oil and Gas Properties
     In the first quarter of 2009, we reduced the carrying value of our United States oil and gas properties by $6.4 billion, or $4.1 billion after taxes, due to a full cost ceiling limitation. The reduction resulted from a significant decrease in the full cost ceiling compared to the immediately preceding quarter due to the effects of declining natural gas prices subsequent to December 31, 2008.

     Earnings increased $425 million in the first six months of 2010 primarily as a result of the $308 million gain ($235 million after taxes), resulting from the divestiture of our Panyu operations in China. Also, earnings increased $109 million due to the 2009 reductions of the carrying value of our oil and gas properties, which primarily related to Brazil. The Brazilian reduction resulted largely from an exploratory well drilled at the BM-BAR-3 block in the offshore Barreirinhas Basin. After drilling this well in the first quarter of 2009, we concluded that the well did not have adequate reserves for commercial viability. As a result, the seismic, leasehold and drilling costs associated with this well contributed to the reduction recognized in the first quarter of 2009.

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 the first six months of 2010. Changes in operating cash flow are largely due to the same factors that affect our net earnings, with the exception of those earnings changes due to noncash expenses such as DD&A, property impairments, financial instrument fair value changes and deferred income taxes. Our operating cash flow increased approximately 36% in 2010 primarily due to the increase in revenues as discussed in the “Results of Operations” section of this report.
     During the first six months of 2010, our operating cash flow funded approximately 81% of our cash payments for capital expenditures. However, our capital expenditures for the first half of 2010 included $500 million that Devon paid to form a heavy oil joint venture and acquire a 50 percent interest in the Pike oil sands in Alberta, Canada. This acquisition was completed in connection with offshore divestitures discussed below. Excluding this $500 million acquisition, our operating cash flow funded substantially all our capital expenditures during the first half of 2010.
     During the first six months of 2009, our operating cash flow funded approximately 65% of our cash payments for capital expenditures. Commercial paper and other borrowings were used to fund the remainder of our cash-based capital expenditures.
Other Sources of Cash — Continuing and Discontinued Operations
     As needed, we supplement our operating cash flow and available cash by accessing available credit under our senior credit facility and commercial paper program. We may also issue long-term debt to supplement our operating cash flow while maintaining adequate liquidity under our credit facilities. Additionally, we may acquire short-term investments to maximize

our income on available cash balances. As needed, we reduce such short-term investment balances to further supplement our operating cash flow and available cash.
     During the first half of 2010, we completed the divestiture of all our U.S. Offshore properties and our Panyu operations in China, generating $4.6 billion in pre-tax proceeds, net of closing adjustments, or $3.6 billion after taxes. We have used proceeds from these divestitures to repay all our commercial paper borrowings, retire $350 million of other debt that was to mature in October 2011 and begin repurchasing our common shares. In addition, we began redeploying proceeds into our North America Onshore properties, including the $500 million Pike oil sands acquisition mentioned above.
     In January 2009, we issued $500 million of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2014 and $700 million of 6.30% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2019. The net proceeds received of $1.187 billion, after discounts and issuance costs, were used primarily to repay Devon’s $1.0 billion of outstanding commercial paper as of December 31, 2008. Subsequent to the $1.0 billion commercial paper repayment in January 2009, we utilized additional commercial paper borrowings of $1.3 billion to fund capital expenditures.
Capital Expenditures
     Our capital expenditures are presented by geographic area and type in the following table. The amounts in the table below reflect cash payments for capital expenditures, including cash paid for capital expenditures incurred in prior quarters. Capital expenditures actually incurred during the first half of 2010 and 2009 were approximately $3.3 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively.

     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 or development of oil and gas properties, which totaled $3.0 billion and $2.7 billion in the first six months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in exploration and development capital spending in the first six months of 2010 was primarily due to the $500 million Pike oil sands acquisition mentioned above. Partially offsetting this increase was the effect of reduced drilling activities during 2009 across our North America operations in response to declining commodity prices. However, with rising oil prices and proceeds from our offshore divestiture program, we are increasing drilling to grow production across our North America Onshore portfolio of properties.
     Capital expenditures for our midstream operations are primarily for the construction and expansion of natural gas processing plants, natural gas gathering and pipeline systems and oil pipelines. Our midstream capital expenditures in 2010 were largely impacted by reduced U.S. Onshore oil and gas drilling activities.
     Capital expenditures related to corporate activities increased in 2010. This increase is largely driven by the construction of our new headquarters in Oklahoma City.
Net Repayments of Debt
     During the first six months of 2010, we repaid $1.4 billion of commercial paper borrowings and redeemed $350 million of 7.25% senior notes prior to their scheduled maturity of October 1, 2011, primarily with proceeds received from our U.S. Offshore divestitures.

Repurchases of Common Stock
     During the second quarter of 2010, we began repurchasing shares under our $3.5 billion stock repurchase program announced in May 2010. Including unsettled shares, we repurchased 7.6 million common shares for $495 million, or $65.07 per share.
Dividends
     Our common stock dividends were $142 million (quarterly rates of $0.16 per share) in the first six months of 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Liquidity
     Our primary source of capital and liquidity has historically been our operating cash flow. Additionally, we maintain revolving lines of credit and a commercial paper program, which can be accessed as needed to supplement operating cash flow. Other available sources of capital and liquidity include equity and debt securities that can be issued pursuant to our automatically effective shelf registration statement filed with the SEC. We estimate these capital resources and the divestiture proceeds discussed below will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our planned uses of capital. The following sections discuss changes to our liquidity subsequent to filing our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Operating Cash Flow
     Our operating cash flow increased approximately 39% to $2.9 billion in the first six months of 2010. We expect operating cash flow to continue to be our primary source of liquidity. Our operating cash flow is sensitive to many variables, the most volatile of which is pricing of the oil, natural gas and NGLs produced. To mitigate some of the risk inherent in prices, we have utilized various price collars related to a portion of our oil and gas production. We have also utilized various price swap contracts and fixed-price physical delivery contracts related to a portion of our future natural gas production. As of June 30, 2010, approximately 58% of our estimated 2010 gas production and 70% of our estimated oil production are subject to either price collars, swaps or fixed-price contracts.
Offshore Divestitures
     During 2010, another major source of liquidity are proceeds generated from divestitures of our offshore assets. In the second quarter of 2010, we completed our exit from the Gulf of Mexico and divested our Panyu operations in China, generating total after-tax proceeds of $3.6 billion. Additionally, we have entered into agreements to sell our Azerbaijan and Brazil assets for $5.2 billion. We have received the necessary government approvals for the Azerbaijan transaction, which is now scheduled to close on August 16, 2010. The Brazil transaction continues to progress through the approval process of the Brazilian government and is on track to close around the end of 2010. We have also entered into an agreement to sell our remaining assets in China for $0.1 billion.
     Furthermore, in connection with the divestitures, we have substantially reduced our deepwater drilling rig commitments. We no longer have lease commitments for the two deepwater drilling rigs that were being used in the Gulf of Mexico. The third deepwater drilling rig is being used in our Brazil operations and will be assumed by the buyer when that divestiture transaction closes.
     The divestiture process is ongoing for our exploration assets in Angola and other minor International assets. Once all divestiture assets are sold, we estimate the total pre-tax proceeds will approximate $10 billion and the after-tax proceeds will be approximately $8 billion. As a result of the success we have experienced with our offshore divestiture program, we are using the divestiture proceeds to invest in North America Onshore exploration and development opportunities, repurchase our common shares and reduce outstanding debt.
Credit Availability
     In May 2010, we cancelled our Short-Term Credit Facility prior to its November 2, 2010 maturity date. We incurred no cost to cancel the facility and will avoid paying the facility fee that pertains to the cancellation period.

40


 

     As of July 30, 2010, we had $2.6 billion of available capacity under our syndicated, unsecured credit facilities that can be used to supplement our operating cash flow and cash on hand to fund our capital expenditures and other commitments. The following schedule summarizes the capacity of our credit facilities by maturity date, as well as our available capacity as of July 30, 2010 (in millions).

     The credit facilities contain only one material financial covenant. This covenant requires Devon to maintain a ratio of total funded debt to total capitalization, as defined in the credit agreement, of no more than 65%. As of June 30, 2010, Devon was in compliance with this covenant. Devon’s debt-to-capitalization ratio at June 30, 2010, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the agreement, was 16.1%.
     In May 2010, we reduced the maximum allowed borrowings under our commercial paper program from $2.85 billion to approximately $2.2 billion.
Contractual Obligations
     At the end of 2009, our commitments included $0.9 billion that related to long-term lease contracts for two deepwater drilling rigs being used in the Gulf of Mexico. As discussed above, we no longer have lease commitments for these two rigs.
     At the end of 2009, our commitments also included $0.5 billion that related to a long-term lease contract for a deepwater drilling rig being used in Brazil. Our lease and remaining commitments for this rig will be assumed by the buyer of our assets in Brazil when the associated divestiture transaction closes.
     At the end of 2009, our commitments also included $0.4 billion that related to leases of floating, production, storage and offloading facilities being used in the Gulf of Mexico, Brazil and China. Our commitments for the Gulf of Mexico and China leases were assumed by the purchasers in the first half of 2010. Our Brazil lease will be assumed by the buyer when the associated divestiture transaction closes.
Common Share Repurchase Program
     As a result of the success we have experienced with our offshore divestiture program, we announced a share repurchase program in May 2010. The program authorizes the repurchase of up to $3.5 billion of our common shares and expires December 31, 2011.

     The fair values of our gas price swaps and collars and oil collars are largely determined by estimates of the forward curves of relevant oil and gas price indexes. At June 30, 2010, a 10% increase in the forward curves associated with our gas price swaps and collars would have decreased the fair value of such instruments by approximately $160 million. A 10% increase in the forward curves associated with our oil collars would have decreased the fair value of such instruments by approximately $90 million.
     Interest Rate Risk
     At June 30, 2010, we had debt outstanding of $5.6 billion with fixed rates averaging 7.2%.
     The key terms of our interest rate derivatives as of June 30, 2010 are presented in the following tables.

Three month LIBOR
  September 30, 2011
     The fair values of our interest rate instruments are largely determined by estimates of the forward curves of the Federal Funds Rate and LIBOR. At June 30, 2010, a 10% increase in these forward curves would have increased the fair value of our interest rate swaps by approximately $46 million.
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 the average exchange rate during the reporting period. A 10% unfavorable change in the Canadian-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate would not materially impact our June 30, 2010 balance sheet.
Item 4. 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, Devon’s principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that Devon’s 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 June 30, 2010 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.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
     There was no change in Devon’s internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Devon’s internal control over financial reporting.
