Devon Energy Reports Second-Quarter 2021 Financial and Operational Results

OKLAHOMA CITY – Aug. 3, 2021

KEY FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

CEO PERSPECTIVE

“2021 is shaping up to be an excellent year for Devon that can best be defined as one of comprehensive execution across all elements of our strategy, resulting in expanded margins, growth in free cash flow and the return of significant value to our shareholders through higher dividends and the reduction of debt,” said Rick Muncrief, president and CEO.

“With our business building momentum and generating increasing amounts of free cash flow, a clear differentiator for Devon is the ability to accelerate cash returns through our fixed-plus-variable dividend framework,” said Muncrief. “The power of this uniquely designed dividend strategy was demonstrated by our announcement to increase the dividend by 44 percent this quarter.”

“As I look to the second half of the year, the investment proposition for Devon only continues to strengthen,” Muncrief added. “With our disciplined capital allocation framework, we are positioned to have the highest forward dividend yield in the entire S&P 500 index that is accompanied by a strong balance sheet projected to have a leverage ratio of less than 1-turn by year end.”

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Devon reported net earnings of $256 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021. Adjusting for items analysts typically exclude from estimates, Devon’s core earnings were $408 million or $0.60 per diluted share.

The company’s operating cash flow totaled $1.1 billion in the second quarter, an 85 percent increase from the prior quarter. This level of cash flow funded all capital requirements and generated $589 million of free cash flow.

Based on the strong financial performance in the second quarter, Devon’s board declared a fixed-plus-variable dividend of $0.49 per share. This represents a 44 percent increase compared to the payout declared for the previous quarter. The dividend is payable on Sep. 30, 2021 to shareholders of record at the close of business on Sep. 13, 2021.

Devon’s investment-grade financial position also continued to strengthen with the redemption of $710 million of debt in the quarter. This action brings the total amount of debt reduced to $1.2 billion year to date and the company exited the quarter with excellent liquidity of $1.5 billion of cash on hand.
