DEVON ENERGY CORP/DE

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: Permian Basin, Rockies, Eagle Ford, Anadarko Basin and Marcellus Shale. Our asset base is underpinned by premium acreage in the economic core of the Permian Basin and our diverse, top-tier resource plays, providing a deep inventory of opportunities for years to come.

On February 1, 2026, we entered into the Merger Agreement providing for an all-stock merger of equals with Coterra, which successfully closed on May 7, 2026. The Merger created a leading large-cap shale operator with an asset base anchored by a premier position in the Permian Basin. We expect the combination to unlock substantial value for shareholders by leveraging enhanced scale to improve margins, increase free cash flow and accelerate cash returns through the capture of $1.0 billion in sustainable annual pre-tax synergies to be attained through an optimized capital program, operating margin improvements and streamlined corporate costs. In connection with the Merger, we also initiated a review of our combined asset portfolio. 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 second quarter of 2026:

•

Production totaled 1,359 MBoe/d, including oil production of 503 MBbls/d.

•

Generated $3.7 billion of operating cash flow.

•

•

Earnings attributable to Devon were $1.9 billion, or $2.03 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. As shown in the graph below, during the first six months of 2026, commodity prices have experienced heightened volatility, driven primarily by significant geopolitical events, including conflict in the Middle East and disruptions to global oil supply, along with continued uncertainty in global trade policy and OPEC+ production decisions.

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 remain on track to deliver at least $1.0 billion of annual pre-tax run-rate synergies by year end 2027, with approximately $600 million expected to be captured in 2027. We are driving progress on capital optimization, operating margin improvements and a reduced corporate cost structure through the sharing of best practices and technology across the combined company.
