INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This report includes forward-looking statements regarding our expectations and plans, as well as future events or conditions. Such forward-looking statements are based on our examination of historical operating trends, the information used to prepare our December 31, 2011 reserve reports and other data in our possession or available from third parties. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Consequently, actual future results could differ materially from our expectations due to a number of factors, such as changes in the supply of and demand for oil, natural gas and NGLs and related products and services; exploration or drilling programs; political or regulatory events; general economic and financial market conditions; and other factors discussed in this report. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Devon, or persons acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. We assume no duty to update or revise our forward-looking statements based on new information, future events or otherwise.

Table of ContentsDEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying unaudited financial statements and notes of Devon Energy Corporation (“Devon”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and notes included in Devon’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements furnished in this report reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of Devon’s financial position as of June 30, 2012 and Devon’s results of operations and cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Accounts Payable Included in accounts payable at June 30, 2012, are liabilities of $99 million representing the amount by which checks issued, but not presented to Devon’s banks for collection, exceed balances in applicable bank accounts. Changes in these liabilities are reflected in cash flows from financing activities. 2. Derivative Financial Instruments Objectives and Strategies Devon periodically enters into derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of its oil, gas and NGL production. These instruments are used to manage the inherent uncertainty of future revenues due to commodity price volatility and typically include financial price swaps, basis swaps, costless price collars and call options. Devon periodically enters into interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate volatility. Devon periodically enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates. Devon does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes and has elected not to designate any of its derivative instruments for hedge accounting treatment. Counterparty Credit Risk By using derivative financial instruments, Devon is exposed to credit risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. To mitigate this risk, the hedging instruments are placed with a number of counterparties whom Devon believes are acceptable credit risks. It is Devon’s policy to enter into derivative contracts only with investment grade rated counterparties deemed by management to be competent and competitive market makers. Additionally, Devon’s derivative contracts contain provisions that provide for collateral payments, depending on levels of exposure and the credit rating of the counterparty. As of June 30, 2012, Devon holds $107 million cash collateral. Such amount represented the estimated fair value of certain derivative positions in excess of Devon’s credit guidelines. The collateral is reported in other current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet.

3. Restructuring Costs In the fourth quarter of 2009, Devon announced plans to divest its offshore assets. As of June 30, 2012, Devon had divested all of its U.S. Offshore and International assets. Since inception of the plan, Devon has incurred $202 million of restructuring costs associated with these divestitures. The schedule below summarizes restructuring costs presented in the accompanying comprehensive statements of earnings. Restructuring costs related to Devon’s discontinued operations totaled $(8) million and $(2) million in the second quarter and first six months of June 30, 2011. These costs primarily related to cash severance and share-based awards and are not included in the schedule below. There were no costs related to discontinued operations in the six months ended June 30, 2012.

10. Other Current Assets The components of other current assets include the following:
11. Property and Equipment In April 2012, Devon closed its joint venture transaction with Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration & Production Corporation. Pursuant to the agreement, Sinopec paid approximately $900 million in cash and received a 33.3% interest in five of Devon’s new ventures exploration plays in the U.S. at closing of the transaction. Additionally, Sinopec is required to fund approximately $1.6 billion of Devon’s share of future exploration, development and drilling costs associated with these plays. Devon recognized the cash proceeds received at closing as a reduction to U.S. oil and gas property and equipment. No gain or loss was recognized. 12. Other Current Liabilities The components of other current liabilities include the following:
13. Debt Long-Term Debt In May 2012, Devon issued $2.5 billion of senior notes that are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Devon. Devon used the net proceeds to repay outstanding commercial paper and credit facility borrowings. The schedule below summarizes the key terms of these notes ($ in millions).
Commercial Paper As of June 30, 2012, Devon had $2.1 billion of outstanding commercial paper at an average rate of 0.40 percent.
13
Table of ContentsDEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (Unaudited)
Credit Lines On April 7, 2012, $0.46 billion of Devon’s Senior Credit Facility matured and was not extended. After the maturity, Devon maintains a $2.19 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Senior Credit Facility”). As of June 30, 2012, there were no borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. The Senior Credit Facility contains only one material financial covenant. This covenant requires Devon’s ratio of total funded debt to total capitalization, as defined in the credit agreement, to be less than 65 percent. As of June 30, 2012, Devon was in compliance with this covenant with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 23.8 percent. 14. Asset Retirement Obligations The schedule below summarizes changes in Devon’s asset retirement obligations.
During the first quarter of 2012, Devon recognized revisions to its asset retirement obligations totaling $399 million. The primary factor contributing to this revision was an overall increase in abandonment cost estimates for certain of its production operations facilities. 15. Retirement Plans The following table presents the components of net periodic benefit cost for Devon’s pension and postretirement benefit plans.
16. Stockholders’ Equity In the second quarter of 2012, Devon’s stockholders adopted the 2012 amendment to the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan Amendment”), which expires June 2, 2019. The 2009 Plan Amendment increases the number of shares authorized for issuance from 21.5 million shares to 47 million shares. To calculate shares issued under the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan subsequent to the 2009 Plan Amendment, options and stock appreciation rights represent one share and other awards represent 2.38 shares.

Dividends Devon paid common stock dividends of $162 million and $140 million in the first six months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The quarterly cash dividend was $0.16 per share in the first quarter of 2011. Devon increased the dividend rate to $0.17 per share in the second quarter of 2011 and further increased the dividend rate to $0.20 per share in the first quarter of 2012. 17. Commitments and Contingencies Devon is party to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Matters that are probable of unfavorable outcome to Devon and which can be reasonably estimated are accrued. Such accruals are based on information known about the matters, Devon’s estimates of the outcomes of such matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. None of the actions are believed by management to involve future amounts that would be material to Devon’s financial position or results of operations after consideration of recorded accruals. Actual amounts could differ materially from management’s estimates. Royalty Matters Numerous natural gas producers and related parties, including Devon, have been named in various lawsuits alleging royalty underpayments. The suits allege that the producers and related parties used below-market prices, made improper deductions, used improper measurement techniques and entered into gas purchase and processing agreements with affiliates that resulted in underpayment of royalties in connection with natural gas and NGLs produced and sold. Devon’s largest exposure for such matters relates to royalties in the states of Oklahoma and New Mexico. Devon does not currently believe that it is subject to material exposure with respect to such royalty matters. Environmental Matters Devon is subject to certain laws and regulations relating to environmental remediation activities associated with past operations, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act and similar state statutes. In response to liabilities associated with these activities, loss accruals primarily consist of estimated uninsured remediation costs. Devon’s monetary exposure for environmental matters is not expected to be material. Chief Redemption Matters In 2006, Devon acquired Chief Holdings LLC (“Chief”) from the owners of Chief, including Trevor Rees-Jones, the majority owner of Chief. In 2008, a former owner of Chief filed a petition against Rees-Jones, as the former majority owner of Chief, and Devon, as Chief’s successor pursuant to the 2006 acquisition. The petition claimed, among other things, violations of the Texas Securities Act, fraud and breaches of Rees-Jones’ fiduciary responsibility to the former owner in connection with Chief’s 2004 redemption of the owner’s minority ownership stake in Chief. On June 20, 2011, a court issued a judgment against Rees-Jones for $196 million, of which $133 million of the judgment was also issued against Devon. Both Rees-Jones and Devon are appealing the judgment. If the appeal is unsuccessful, Devon can and will seek full payment of the judgment and any related interest, costs and expenses from Rees-Jones pursuant to an existing indemnification agreement between Rees-Jones, certain other parties and Devon. Devon does not expect to have any net exposure as a result of the judgment. However, because Devon does not have a legal right of set off with respect to the judgment, Devon has recorded in the accompanying June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, balance sheets both a $133 million long-term liability relating to the judgment with an offsetting $133 million long-term receivable relating to its right to be indemnified by Rees-Jones and certain other parties pursuant to the indemnification agreement.

Other Matters Devon is involved in other various routine legal proceedings incidental to its business. However, to Devon’s knowledge, there were no other material pending legal proceedings to which Devon is a party or to which any of its property is subject. 18. Fair Value Measurements The following tables provide carrying value and fair value measurement information for certain of Devon’s financial assets and liabilities. The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, other current receivables, accounts payable, other payables and accrued expenses included in the accompanying balance sheets approximated fair value at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Therefore, such financial assets and liabilities are not presented in the following tables.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values in the tables above. Level 1 Fair Value Measurements Cash equivalents and short-term investments — Amounts consist primarily of U.S. and Canadian treasury securities and money market investments. The fair value approximates the carrying value. Level 2 Fair Value Measurements Cash equivalents and short-term investments — Amounts consist primarily of Canadian agency and provincial securities and commercial paper investments. The fair value is based upon quotes from brokers, which approximate the carrying value. Commodity, interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives — The fair values of commodity and interest rate derivatives are estimated using internal discounted cash flow calculations based upon forward curves and quotes obtained from brokers for contracts with similar terms or quotes obtained from counterparties to the agreements. Debt — Devon’s debt instruments do not actively trade in an established market. The fair values of its fixed-rate debt are estimated based on rates available for debt with similar terms and maturity. The fair values of Devon’s variable-rate commercial paper and credit facility borrowings are the carrying values.
16
Table of ContentsDEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (Unaudited)
Level 3 Fair Value Measurements Long-term investments — Devon’s long-term investments presented in the tables above consisted entirely of auction rate securities. Due to auction failures and the lack of an active market for Devon’s auction rate securities, quoted market prices for these securities were not available. Therefore, Devon used valuation techniques that rely on unobservable inputs to estimate the fair values of its long-term auction rate securities. These inputs were based on the AAA credit rating of the securities, the probability of full repayment of the securities considering the U.S. government guarantees substantially all of the underlying student loans, the collection of all accrued interest to date and continued receipts of principal at par. As a result of using these inputs, Devon concluded the estimated fair values of its long-term auction rate securities approximated the par values as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Debt — Devon’s Level 3 debt consisted of a non-interest bearing promissory note. Due to the lack of an active market, quoted marked prices for this note, or similar notes, were not available. Therefore, Devon used valuation techniques that rely on unobservable inputs to estimate the fair value of its promissory note. The fair value of this debt is estimated using internal discounted cash flow calculations based upon estimated future payment schedules and a 3.125% interest rate. Included below is a summary of the changes in Devon’s Level 3 fair value measurements during the first six months of 2012 and 2011.
19. Discontinued Operations In March 2012, Devon received $71 million upon closing the divestiture of its operations in Angola, which completed Devon’s offshore divestiture program that was announced in November 2009. In aggregate, Devon’s U.S. and International offshore divestitures generated total proceeds of $10.1 billion, or approximately $8 billion after-tax, assuming repatriation of a substantial portion of the foreign proceeds under current U.S. tax law. Revenues related to Devon’s discontinued operations totaled $43 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011. Devon did not have revenues related to its discontinued operations during the second quarter of 2011 or the first six months of 2012. Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations before income taxes totaled $(16) million in the six months ended June 30, 2012 and $2.6 billion for the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively. Devon did not have any earnings in the second quarter of 2012. Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations in 2012 and 2011 were primarily due to Devon’s International divestiture transactions.

The following table presents the main classes of assets and liabilities associated with Devon’s discontinued operations at December 31, 2011. Devon did not have assets or liabilities held for sale at June 30, 2012.
20. Segment Information Devon manages its operations through distinct operating segments, or divisions, which are defined primarily by geographic areas. For financial reporting purposes, Devon aggregates its U.S. divisions into one reporting segment due to the similar nature of the businesses. However, Devon’s Canadian division is reported as a separate reporting segment primarily due to the significant differences between the U.S. and Canadian regulatory environments. Devon’s segments are all primarily engaged in oil and gas producing activities. Revenues are all from external customers.

21. Subsequent Event In August 2012, Devon announced a transaction with Sumitomo Corporation that Devon expects to close in the third quarter of 2012. Under the agreement, Sumitomo will pay $1.365 billion, including $340 million at closing and $1.025 billion toward Devon’s share of future drilling costs, and will receive a 30% interest in the Cline and Midland-Wolfcamp shale plays.

Table of ContentsItem 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion and analysis addresses material changes in our results of operations and capital resources and uses for the three-month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, compared to the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, and in our financial condition and liquidity since December 31, 2011. For information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Overview of 2012 Results During the second quarter and first six months of 2012, our continuing operations generated net earnings of $477 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, and $891 million, or $2.20 per diluted share, for the respective periods. This compares to net earnings of $184 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, and $573 million, or $1.34 per diluted share for the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively. Key measures of our financial performance are summarized below:

Table of ContentsThe volume and price changes in the tables above caused the following changes to our oil, gas and NGL sales between the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
The volume and price changes in the tables above caused the following changes to our oil, gas and NGL sales between the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
Oil Sales A 26 percent increase in production during the second quarter and first six months of 2012 caused oil sales to increase by $229 million and $428 million, respectively. The increases were primarily due to continued development of our Jackfish thermal heavy oil projects and Permian Basin properties. Oil sales decreased $211 million and $139 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively, as a result of 19 percent and 7 percent decreases, respectively, in our realized price without hedges. The largest contributor to the decreases in each period to our realized price was the widening differential to the NYMEX West Texas Intermediate index price attributable to our Canadian oil production. Gas Sales Gas sales decreased $478 million and $785 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively, as a result of 54 percent and 45 percent decreases, respectively, in our realized price without hedges. These decreases were largely due to the broad deterioration of gas prices in the North American market. Gas sales decreased $25 million during the second quarter due to a 3 percent decrease in production and increased $17 million during the first six months of 2012 as a result of a slight increase in production. Our gas production has remained somewhat steady as a result of the continued development activities in the liquids-rich gas portions of our Barnett and Cana-Woodford Shales. Production gains from development in these liquids-rich regions were partially offset by natural declines in our other operating areas, particularly those that produce dry gas. NGL Sales NGL sales decreased $100 million and $125 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively, as a result of 26 percent and 16 percent decreases, respectively, in our realized price without hedges. The lower prices were largely due to decreases in NGL prices at the Mont Belvieu, Texas hub price. NGL sales increased $2 million and $76 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively, as a result of production increases in each period. The increases in production were primarily due to continued drilling in the liquids-rich gas portions of the Barnett Shale, Cana-Woodford Shale and Granite Wash.

Table of ContentsOil, Gas and NGL Derivatives The following tables provide financial information associated with our oil, gas and NGL hedges. The first table presents the cash settlements and unrealized gains and losses that are recognized as components of our revenues. The subsequent tables present our oil, gas and NGL prices with, and without, the effects of the cash settlements. The prices do not include the effects of unrealized gains and losses.
A summary of our outstanding commodity derivatives is included in Note 2 to the financial statements included in “Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements” of this report. Cash settlements presented in the tables above represent realized gains or losses related to these various instruments. In addition to cash settlements, we also recognize unrealized changes in the fair values of our oil, gas and NGL derivative instruments in each reporting period. The changes in fair value resulted from new positions and settlements that occurred during each period, as well as the relationships between contract prices and the associated forward curves. Including the cash settlements discussed above, our oil, gas and NGL derivatives generated a net gain of $665 million and $416 million in the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Including the cash settlements discussed above, our oil, gas and NGL derivatives generated a net gain of $810 million and $248 million in the first six months of 2012 and 2011, respectively.
23
Table of ContentsMarketing and Midstream Revenues and Operating Costs and Expenses
During the second quarter and first six months of 2012, marketing and midstream operating profit decreased $80 million and $90 million, respectively, primarily due to lower gas and NGL prices. Lease Operating Expenses (“LOE”)
LOE increased $0.75 per Boe and $0.71 per Boe during the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively. The largest contributor to the higher unit cost is related to our liquids production growth, particularly at our Jackfish thermal heavy oil projects in Canada and in the Permian Basin in the U.S. Such projects generally require a higher cost to produce per unit than our gas projects. We also experienced upward pressures on costs in certain operating areas, which also contributed to the higher LOE per Boe. Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (“DD&A”)
24
Table of ContentsOil and gas property DD&A increased during the second quarter and first six months of 2012 largely due to increases in the DD&A rates. The largest contributor to the higher rates were our drilling and development activities subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2011. Under the full-cost method of accounting, capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, net of accumulated DD&A and deferred income taxes, may not exceed the full cost “ceiling” at the end of each quarter. The ceiling is calculated separately for each country and is the present value of estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, discounted 10 percent, net of related tax effects. Estimated future net cash flows are calculated using end-of-period costs and an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of each of the previous 12 months. If natural gas prices remain depressed, we expect to incur full-cost ceiling write-downs, or additional DD&A, related to our U.S. oil and gas properties in the third quarter of 2012. General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”)
Net G&A and net G&A per Boe increased during 2012 largely due to higher employee compensation and benefits. Employee costs increased primarily from an expansion of our workforce as part of growing production operations at certain of our key areas, including Jackfish, the Permian and the Cana-Woodford shale. Taxes Other Than Income Taxes
Taxes other than income taxes as a percentage of our oil, gas and NGL revenues increased in both 2012 periods primarily due to ad valorem and other taxes, which do not change in direct correlation with oil, gas and NGL revenues. Interest Expense
25
Table of ContentsInterest based on debt outstanding increased during the second quarter and first six months of 2012 as a result of additional debt borrowings. Borrowings were primarily used to fund capital expenditures in excess of our operating cash flow. Other, net
Income Taxes The following table presents our total income tax expense and a reconciliation of our effective income tax rate to the U.S. statutory income tax rate.
Earnings (Loss) From Discontinued Operations
Earnings decreased in 2012 primarily as a result of the $2.5 billion gain ($2.5 billion after-tax) recognized from the divestiture of our Brazil operations in the second quarter of 2011.
