3 . Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Devon periodically enters into commodity and interest rate derivative financial instruments. These instruments are used to manage the inherent uncertainty of future revenues due to oil and gas price volatility and to manage Devon's exposure to interest rate volatility.

 

The following table presents the fair values of derivative assets and liabilities included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. None of Devon's derivative instruments included in the table have been designated as hedging instruments.

Divestitures

 

In November 2009, Devon announced plans to reposition itself strategically as a high-growth, North American onshore exploration and production company. As part of this strategic repositioning, Devon is bringing forward the value of its offshore assets by divesting them.

 

During the first quarter of 2010, Devon sold its interests in the Jack, St. Malo and Cascade Lower Tertiary projects in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico for $1.3 billion ($1.1 billion after taxes). These divestitures involved oil and gas properties with no proved reserves, current production or revenues. Devon used the proceeds from these divestitures to repay commercial paper borrowings.

 

On March 10, 2010, Devon entered into agreements to sell all of its remaining assets in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, Brazil and Azerbaijan to BP for $7.0 billion. In addition, BP will assume Devon's leases of the Seadrill West Sirius and Transocean Deepwater Discovery drilling rigs for the duration of the contract terms. Devon closed the deepwater Gulf of Mexico transaction in April 2010. Devon expects to close the Azerbaijan and Brazil transactions before the end of 2010.

 

On April 9, 2010, Devon entered into an agreement to sell all its shallow-water Gulf of Mexico assets for $1.05 billion (approximately $840 million after taxes). Devon expects to close this transaction in the second quarter of 2010.

 

On April 30, 2010, Devon entered into an agreement to sell its producing Panyu field located offshore China for $515 million (approximately $370 million after taxes). Devon expects to close this transaction in the second quarter of 2010.

 

Under full cost accounting rules, sales or other dispositions of oil and gas properties are generally accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs, with no recognition of gain or loss. However, if not recognizing a gain or loss on the disposition would otherwise significantly alter the relationship between a cost center's capitalized costs and proved reserves, then a gain or loss must be recognized. The Gulf of Mexico divestitures discussed above will not significantly alter such relationship for Devon's United States cost center. Therefore, Devon will not recognize a gain in connection with the Gulf of Mexico divestitures. Because the Azerbaijan, Brazil and China divestitures will ultimately involve a complete disposition of a cost center, Devon expects to record gains when such transactions close.

 

Oil Sands Joint Venture

 

In conjunction with the announced divestitures to BP, Devon also announced a heavy oil joint venture to operate and develop BP's Kirby oil sands leases in Alberta, Canada. Devon will acquire 50 percent of BP's interest in the Kirby oil sands leases for $500 million. Devon expects to close this transaction in the second quarter of 2010. Devon will also fund $150 million of capital costs on BP's behalf. The majority of these costs are expected to be paid during 2011 and 2012.

Goodwill

During the first three months of 2010, Devon's Canadian goodwill increased $88 million. This increase was entirely due to foreign currency translation.

Commercial Paper

 

During the first quarter of 2010, Devon repaid $1.2 billion of commercial paper borrowings primarily with proceeds received from Gulf of Mexico property divestitures. As of March 31, 2010, Devon's average borrowing rate on its $240 million of commercial paper debt was 0.22%.  

 

In early May 2010, Devon reduced the maximum allowed borrowings under its commercial paper program from $2.85 billion to approximately $2.2 billion.

 

Credit Lines

 

As of March 31, 2010, Devon had two revolving lines of credit that could be accessed to provide liquidity as needed. The following schedule summarizes the capacity of Devon's credit facilities by maturity date, as well as its available capacity as of March 31, 2010 (in millions).

In early May 2010, Devon cancelled the Short-Term Facility prior to its maturity date. Devon incurred no cost to cancel the facility and will avoid paying the facility fee that pertains to the cancellation period.

 

The Senior Credit Facility and Short-Term Facility contain only one material financial covenant. This covenant requires Devon's ratio of total funded debt to total capitalization to be less than 65%. The credit agreement contains definitions of total funded debt and total capitalization that include adjustments to the respective amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Also, total capitalization is adjusted to add back noncash financial writedowns such as full cost ceiling impairments or goodwill impairments. As of March 31, 2010, Devon was in compliance with this covenant. Devon's debt-to-capitalization ratio at March 31, 2010, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the agreement, was 17.1%.

During the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, Devon recognized revisions to its asset retirement obligations totaling $205 million and $22 million, respectively. The primary factors causing the 2010 and 2009 increases were an overall increase in abandonment cost estimates and a decrease in the discount rate used to present value the obligations.

Commitments and Contingencies
12. Commitments and Contingencies

12. 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 that 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. However, actual amounts could differ materially from management's estimate.

 

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 costs associated with remediation. Devon's monetary exposure for environmental matters is not expected to be material.

 

Royalty Matters

 

Numerous natural gas producers and related parties, including Devon, have been named in various lawsuits alleging violation of the federal False Claims Act. The suits allege that the producers and related parties used below-market prices, improper deductions, improper measurement techniques and transactions with affiliates, which resulted in underpayment of royalties in connection with natural gas and NGLs produced and sold from federal and Indian-owned or controlled lands. Devon does not currently believe that it is subject to material exposure with respect to such royalty matters.

 

Other Matters

 

Devon is involved in other various routine legal proceedings incidental to its business. However, to Devon's knowledge as of the date of this report, neither Devon nor its property is subject to any material pending legal proceedings.

 

Commitments

 

At the end of 2009, Devon's commitments included $1.4 billion that related to long-term contracts for three deepwater drilling rigs. This total includes $1.2 billion related to two contracts to be assumed by BP in connection with the associated divestiture transactions as discussed in Note 5.

 

At the end of 2009, Devon's commitments also included $0.4 billion that related to leases of floating, production, storage and offloading facilities being used in the Gulf of Mexico, Brazil and China. Devon's commitments for these leases will be assumed by the buyers of Devon's assets in these locations when the associated divestiture transactions close.

Restructuring Costs
14. Restructuring Costs

14. Restructuring Costs

 

In the fourth quarter of 2009, Devon recognized $153 million of estimated employee severance costs associated with the planned divestitures of its offshore assets that was announced in November 2009. This amount was based on estimates of the number of employees that will ultimately be impacted by the divestitures and includes $63 million related to accelerated vesting of share-based grants. Of the $153 million total, $105 million relates to Devon's U.S. Offshore operations and the remainder relates to its International discontinued operations.

 

Devon's estimate of employee severance costs recognized in the fourth quarter of 2009 was based upon certain key estimates that could change as properties are sold. These estimates include the number of impacted employees, the number of employees offered comparable positions with the buyers and the date of separation for impacted employees. As discussed in Note 5, Devon has only closed a limited number of divestiture transactions, which did not impact a significant number of employees. As a result, Devon did not revise its estimate of employee severance costs during the first quarter of 2010.

Reduction of Carrying Value of Oil and Gas Properties

15. Reduction of Carrying Value of Oil and Gas Properties

 

In the first quarter of 2009, Devon reduced the carrying value of its United States oil and gas properties $6.4 billion, or $4.1 billion after taxes, due to a full cost ceiling limitation. The reduction resulted from a significant decrease in the full cost ceiling compared to the immediately preceding quarter due to the effects of declining natural gas prices subsequent to December 31, 2008.

Reductions of Carrying Value of Oil and Gas Properties

 

In the first quarter of 2009, Devon reduced the carrying values of its Brazilian and other International oil and gas properties, which are now held for sale, $109 million due to full cost ceiling limitations. The Brazilian reduction of $103 million, which had no related tax benefit, resulted largely from an exploratory well drilled at the BM-BAR-3 block in the offshore Barreirinhas Basin. After drilling this well in the first quarter of 2009, Devon concluded that the well did not have adequate reserves for commercial viability. As a result, the seismic, leasehold and drilling costs associated with this well contributed to the reduction recognized in the first quarter of 2009.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
17. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

17. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The following table reconciles earnings (loss) from continuing operations and common shares outstanding used in the calculations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. Because a net loss from continuing operations was generated during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, the dilutive shares produce an antidilutive net loss per share result. Therefore, the diluted loss per share from continuing operations reported in the accompanying 2009 consolidated statement of operations is the same as the basic loss per share amount.

Certain options to purchase shares of Devon's common stock are excluded from the dilution calculations because the options are antidilutive. These excluded options totaled 1.7 million and 8.9 million during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

Segment Information

18.   Segment Information

 

Devon manages its operations through seven distinct operating segments, or divisions, which are defined primarily by geographic areas. For financial reporting purposes, Devon aggregates its United States divisions into one reporting segment due to the similar nature of the business. However, Devon's Canadian and International divisions are reported as separate reporting segments primarily due to significant differences in the respective regulatory environments.

 

Following is certain financial information regarding Devon's reporting segments. The revenues reported are all from external customers.
