Executive Overview
We are a leading independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company whose operations are focused onshore in the United States. Our operations are currently focused in five core areas: the Delaware Basin, Eagle Ford, Anadarko Basin, Williston Basin and Powder River Basin. Our asset base is underpinned by premium acreage in the economic core of the Delaware Basin and our diverse, top-tier resource plays, providing a deep inventory of opportunities for years to come.
In July 2024, Devon announced it had entered into an agreement to acquire the Williston Basin business of Grayson Mill Energy. The purchase price for the transaction consists of $3.25 billion of cash and approximately 37 million shares of Devon common stock, in each case subject to various purchase price adjustments. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2024 and increase our volumes in 2025 by approximately 100 MBoe/d, with approximately 55% being oil. The acquisition will allow us to efficiently expand our oil production and operating scale, creating immediate and long-term, sustainable value to shareholders over time. As evidenced by this recent acquisition, we remain focused on building economic value by executing on our strategic priorities of moderating production growth, emphasizing capital and operational efficiencies, optimizing reinvestment rates to maximize free cash flow, maintaining low leverage, delivering cash returns to our shareholders and pursuing ESG excellence. Our recent performance highlights for these priorities include the following items for the second quarter of 2024:
Oil production totaled 335 MBbls/d, exceeding our plan by 3%.
Expanded share repurchase program to $5.0 billion and have repurchased approximately 54.7 million of our common shares for approximately $2.7 billion, or $50.28 per share since inception of the plan.
Exited with $4.2 billion of liquidity, including $1.2 billion of cash.
Generated $1.5 billion of operating cash flow and $6.7 billion for the past twelve trailing months.
Including variable dividends, paid dividends of $223 million and have declared approximately $276 million of dividends to be paid in the third quarter of 2024.
Earnings attributable to Devon were $844 million, or $1.34 per diluted share.
Core earnings (Non-GAAP) were $885 million, or $1.41 per diluted share.
We remain committed to capital discipline and delivering the objectives that underpin our current plan. Those objectives prioritize value creation through moderated capital investment and production growth, particularly with a view of the volatility in commodity prices, supply chain constraints and the economic uncertainty arising from inflation and geopolitical events. Our cash-return objectives remain focused on opportunistic share repurchases, funding our fixed and variable dividends, repaying debt at upcoming maturities and building cash balances.
