Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

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 September 30, 2012 and Devon's results of operations and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. 

 

Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments

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 intend to 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 September 30, 2012, Devon held $49 million of 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.

 

Commodity Derivatives

 

As of September 30, 2012, Devon had the following open oil derivative positions. Devon’s oil derivatives settle against the average of the prompt month NYMEX West Texas Intermediate futures price.

Sinopec Transaction 

 

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. 

 

Sumitomo Transaction 

 

In September 2012, Devon closed its joint venture transaction with Sumitomo Corporation. At closing, Sumitomo paid approximately $400 million in cash and received a 30% interest in the Cline and Midland-Wolfcamp shale plays in Texas. Additionally, Sumitomo is required to fund approximately $1.0 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. 

 

Asset Impairments 

 

In the third quarter of 2012, Devon recognized asset impairments related to its U.S. oil and gas property and equipment and its U.S. midstream assets as presented below.

U.S. Oil and Gas Impairment 

 

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 based on the present value of estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, discounted at 10 percent per annum, 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.

 

The U.S. oil and gas impairment resulted primarily from a decline in the U.S. full cost ceiling. The lower ceiling value resulted primarily from decreases in the 12-month average trailing prices for natural gas and NGLs, which have reduced proved reserve values.  

 

Additionally, if natural gas and NGL prices remain depressed, Devon may incur a  full cost ceiling impairment related to its oil and gas property and equipment in the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

Midstream Impairment

 

Due to declining natural gas production resulting from low natural gas and NGL prices, Devon determined that the carrying amounts of certain of its midstream facilities located in south and east Texas were not recoverable from estimated future cash flows. Consequently, the assets were written down to their estimated fair values, which were determined using discounted cash flow models. The fair value of Devon’s midstream assets is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement.

 

Goodwill

During the first nine months of 2012, Devon’s Canadian goodwill increased $101 million entirely due to foreign currency translation. 

Accounts Payable

13.            Accounts Payable  

 

Included in accounts payable at September 30, 2012, are liabilities of $51 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.

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 September 30, 2012, Devon had $2.8 billion of outstanding commercial paper at an average rate of 0.37 percent. 

 

Credit Lines 

 

Devon previously maintained a $2.19 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving line of credit. As of September 30, 2012, there were no borrowings under this line of credit. Devon terminated this line of credit and established a new $3.0 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving line of credit (the "Senior Credit Facility") on October 24, 2012. The Senior Credit Facility will mature on October 24, 2017. However, prior to the maturity date, Devon has the option to extend the maturity for up to two additional one-year periods, subject to the approval of the lenders.  

 

The terminated line of credit  and the Senior Credit Facility each contain 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 no greater than 65 percent. As of September 30, 2012, Devon was in compliance with this covenant with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 24.7 percent.

Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' Equity

17.            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 $242 million and $209 million in the first nine 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.

Commitments And Contingencies
Commitments And Contingencies

18.            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 arrangements 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 September 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.

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 data from independent third parties, which approximate the carrying value. 

 

Commodity, interest rate and foreign currency derivatives — The fair values of commodity,  interest rate and foreign currency derivatives are estimated using internal discounted cash flow calculations based upon forward curves and data obtained from independent third parties for contracts with similar terms or data 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. 

 

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 continued receipts of principal at par,  the collection of all accrued interest to date,  the probability of full repayment of the securities considering the U.S. government guarantees substantially all of the underlying student loans, and the AAA credit rating of the securities. 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 September 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 nine months of 2012 and 2011.

Discontinued Operations
Discontinued Operations

20.            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 nine months ended September 30, 2011. Devon did not have revenues related to its discontinued operations during the second or third quarter of 2011 or the first nine months of 2012. Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations before income taxes totaled $(16) million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and $2.6 billion for the first nine months of 2011, respectively. Devon did not have any earnings in the third quarter of 2012 or 2011. 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 September 30, 2012.

Segment Information
Segment Information

21.            Segment Information

 

Devon manages its operations through distinct operating segments, which are defined primarily by geographic areas. For financial reporting purposes, Devon aggregates its U.S. operating segments into one reporting segment due to the similar nature of the businesses. However, Devon's Canadian operating segment 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.
