Summary
Devon Energy Corp. reported strong financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2014, driven by significant strategic acquisitions and divestitures, alongside higher commodity prices. The company successfully integrated the GeoSouthern Energy acquisition in the Eagle Ford Shale and completed a major divestiture of Canadian conventional assets, generating substantial cash proceeds. The formation of EnLink Midstream, a new midstream business, also marked a significant strategic move, contributing to increased marketing and midstream revenues. Net earnings attributable to Devon for the six months were $999 million, a significant turnaround from a net loss of $656 million in the same period of 2013, bolstered by strong operational performance and favorable market conditions. Operationally, Devon saw improved oil and gas price realizations and growth in U.S. core production, particularly in the Eagle Ford and Permian Basin. While overall production saw a slight decrease due to divestitures, higher realized prices led to substantial increases in oil, gas, and NGL sales. The company focused on strengthening its balance sheet by using divestiture proceeds and operating cash flow to reduce debt, ending the period with a healthy liquidity position and a strong debt-to-capitalization ratio.
