Some of the information provided in this presentation includes “forward‐looking statements” as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Words such as “forecasts," "projections," "estimates," "plans," "expectations," "targets," and other comparable terminology often identify forward‐looking statements. Such statements concerning future performance are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause Devon’s actual results to differ materially from the forward‐looking statements contained herein, including as a result of the items described under "Risk Factors" in our most recent Form 10‐K; and the items described under "Information Regarding Forward‐Looking Estimates" in our Form 8‐K furnished February 17, 2015.
Cautionary Note to Investors The United States Securities and Exchange Commission permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC's definitions for such terms, and price and cost sensitivities for such reserves, and prohibits disclosure of resources that do not constitute such reserves. This presentation may contain certain terms, such as resource potential and exploration target size. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized. The SEC guidelines strictly prohibit us from including these estimates in filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 10‐K, available from us at Devon Energy Corporation, Attn. Investor Relations, 333 West Sheridan, Oklahoma City, OK 73102‐5015.

Discussion of Risk Factors
Forward‐Looking Statements: Information provided in this presentation includes “forward‐looking statements” as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward‐looking statements are often identified by use of the words “forecasts”, “projections”, “estimates”, “plans”, “expectations”, “targets”, “opportunities”, “potential”, “outlook”, and other similar terminology.” Such statements are subject to a variety of risk factors. A discussion of risk factors that could cause Devon’s actual results to differ materially from the forward‐looking statements contained herein are outlined below.
The forward‐looking statements provided in this presentation are based on management’s examination of historical operating trends, the information which was used to prepare reserve reports and other data in Devon’s possession or available from third parties. Devon cautions that its future oil, natural gas and NGL production, revenues and expenses are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties normally incident to the exploration for and development, production and sale of oil, gas and NGL. These risks include, but are not limited to, price volatility, inflation or lack of availability of goods and services, environmental risks, drilling risks, political changes, changes in laws or regulations, the uncertainty inherent in estimating future oil and gas production or reserves, and other risks identified in our Form 10‐K and our other filings with the SEC.
Specific Assumptions and Risks Related to Price and Production Estimates: A significant and prolonged deterioration in market conditions and the other assumptions on which our estimates are based will impact many aspects of our business and our results. Substantially all of Devon’s revenues are attributable to sales, processing and transportation of three commodities: oil, natural gas and NGL. Prices for oil, natural gas and NGL are determined primarily by prevailing market conditions, which may be impacted by a variety of general and specific factors that are difficult to control or predict. Worldwide and regional economic conditions, weather and other local market conditions influence the supply of and demand for energy commodities. In particular, concerns about the level of global crude‐oil and natural‐gas inventories and the production trends of significant oil producers like OPEC, among other things, have led to a significant drop in prices. In addition to volatility from general market conditions, Devon’s oil, natural gas and NGL prices may vary considerably due to factors specific to Devon, such as pricing differentials among the various regional markets in which our products are sold, the value derivable from the quality of oil Devon produces (i.e., sweet crude versus heavy or sour crude),the Btu content of gas produced, the availability and capacity of transportation facilities we may utilize, and the costs and demand for the various products derived from oil, natural gas and NGL. Estimates for Devon’s future production of oil, natural gas and NGL are based on the assumption that market demand and prices for oil, natural gas and NGL will be at levels that allow for profitable production of these products. As illustrated by recent market trends, there can be no assurance of such stability. Much of Devon’s production in Canada is subject to government royalties that fluctuate with prices, which, therefore, will affect reported production. Estimates for Devon’s future processing and transportation of oil, natural gas and NGL are based on the assumption that market demand and prices for oil, natural gas and NGL will be at levels that allow for profitable processing and transport of these products. As with our production estimates, there can be no assurance of such stability. The production, transportation, processing and marketing of oil, natural gas and NGL are complex processes which are subject to disruption due to transportation and processing availability, mechanical failure, human error, meteorological events including, but not limited to, tornadoes, extreme temperatures, and numerous other factors.
Assumptions and Risks Related to Capital Expenditures Estimates: Devon’s capital expenditures budget is based on an expected range of future oil, natural gas and NGL prices as well as the expected costs of the capital additions. Should actual prices received differ materially from Devon’s price expectations for its future production, some projects may be accelerated or deferred and, consequently, may increase or decrease capital expenditures. In addition, if the actual material or labor costs of the budgeted items vary significantly from the anticipated amounts, actual capital expenditures could vary materially from Devon’s estimates.
Assumptions and Risks Related to Marketing and Midstream Estimates: Devon cautions that its future marketing and midstream revenues and expenses are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties normally incident to the marketing and midstream business. These risks include, but are not limited to, price volatility, environmental risks, mechanical failures, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating future processing volumes and pipeline throughput, cost of goods and services and other risks.
