Company Guidance -

Q3 2025

During Devon Energy's First Quarter 2025 Conference Call, the company provided guidance on several key metrics and future strategies. Devon reported oil production that exceeded the upper limit of their guidance, reaching 388,000 barrels per day, and generated $1 billion in free cash flow for the quarter. The company plans to deliver an additional $1 billion in annual free cash flow by the end of 2026 through business optimization efforts. These efforts include reducing 2025 full-year capital by $100 million while maintaining productive capacity. Devon's capital allocation strategy resulted in $464 million returned to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. For the remainder of 2025, Devon expects to produce between 382,000 and 388,000 barrels of oil per day and maintain a capital investment range of $3.7 billion to $3.9 billion. The company is focused on operational excellence, with improvements in drilling speeds and completion efficiencies contributing to their performance. Additionally, Devon plans to use excess free cash flow to enhance liquidity and reduce debt, with a business optimization initiative expected to yield $1 billion in pre-tax free cash flow improvements by 2027.

Strong Free Cash Flow Generation

Devon Energy generated $1 billion of free cash flow in Q1 2025, marking the highest level since Q3 2022. This was driven by exceeding oil production guidance and disciplined capital investment, achieving a 50% reinvestment rate.

Improved Operational Efficiencies

Significant operational improvements were achieved, including a 12% increase in completion efficiencies through Simulfrac, a 7% increase in drilling speeds, and a 40% increase in drilling speeds for Devon-operated pads post-BPX partnership dissolution.

Increased Shareholder Returns

Devon Energy distributed $464 million through dividends and share repurchases in Q1 2025, hitting the upper end of their target buyback range and bringing the total value of their buyback program to $3.6 billion.

Successful Partnership Dissolution

The partnership with BPX in the Blackhawk field was successfully dissolved, allowing Devon to assume operations and achieve significant drilling improvements and cost reductions.

Robust Financial Performance

Devon reported core earnings of $779 million or $1.21 per share, with EBITDAX at $2.1 billion and operating cash flow of $1.9 billion, exceeding consensus estimates.
