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 four core areas: the Delaware Basin, Rockies, Eagle Ford and Anadarko 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.
On September 27, 2024, we acquired the Williston Basin business of Grayson Mill for total consideration of approximately $5.0 billion, consisting of $3.5 billion of cash and approximately 37.3 million shares of Devon common stock, including purchase price adjustments. The acquisition has allowed us to efficiently expand our oil production and operating scale, creating immediate and long-term, sustainable value to shareholders.
As a company, 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 operational excellence. Our recent performance highlights for these priorities include the following items for the third quarter of 2025:
Production totaled 853 MBoe/d, exceeding guidance by 2%.
As of September 30, 2025, completed approximately 83% of our authorized $5.0 billion share repurchase program with approximately 92.7 million of our common shares purchased for approximately $4.1 billion, or $44.70 per share since inception of the plan.
Exited with $4.3 billion of liquidity, including $1.3 billion of cash.
Generated $1.7 billion of operating cash flow and $6.8 billion for the past twelve trailing months.
Paid dividends of $151 million and have declared approximately $150 million of dividends to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Early redeemed the $485 million of 5.85% senior notes due December 15, 2025.
Closed acquisition of outstanding noncontrolling interests in Cotton Draw Midstream for $260 million.
Earnings attributable to Devon were $687 million, or $1.09 per diluted share.
Core earnings (Non-GAAP) were $656 million, or $1.04 per diluted share.
Our net earnings and operating cash flow are highly dependent upon oil, gas and NGL prices, which can be volatile due to several varying factors. During the first nine months of 2025, commodity prices have experienced heightened volatility and declines, driven primarily by economic uncertainty in global trade arising from geopolitical events and shifting trade policies, such as the imposition of tariffs by the U.S. and planned oil output increases by OPEC+. Despite the potential negative impacts of higher inflation rates and supply chain disruptions created by these developments, we remain committed to capital discipline and delivering the objectives that underpin our current plan. Our disciplined, returns-driven strategy is designed to adapt to market fluctuations by reducing activity when necessary to maximize free cash flow generation. We will continue to 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 dividends, repaying debt at upcoming maturities and building cash balances.
To emphasize our commitment to maximizing free cash flow and creating value for shareholders, we have implemented a business optimization plan which is anticipated to improve our annual pre-tax cash flow by $1.0 billion. The plan includes actions to achieve more efficient field-level operations and improvements in drilling and completion costs while improving operating margins and corporate costs. These savings are on track to be achieved by the end of 2026 with approximately $600 million expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
