Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and notes of Devon have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in Devon’s 2017 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 for a fair statement of Devon’s results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 and Devon’s financial position as of March 31, 2018.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In January 2018, Devon adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), using the modified retrospective method. See Note 2 for further discussion regarding Devon’s adoption of the revenue recognition standard.

 

In January 2018, Devon adopted ASU 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This ASU requires entities to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same line item as other employee compensation costs. Only the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is eligible for capitalization. As a result of adoption of this ASU, consolidated statement of earnings presentation changes were applied retrospectively, while service cost component capitalization was applied prospectively.

 

In January 2018, Devon adopted ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. This ASU requires an entity to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows and to provide a reconciliation of the totals in the statement of cash flows to the related captions in the balance sheet when the cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one line item on the balance sheet. As a result of adoption, Devon made changes to the statement of cash flows to include the required presentation and reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents retrospectively. Other than presentation, adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on Devon’s consolidated statement of cash flows.

Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

The FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU will supersede the lease requirements in Topic 840, Leases. Its objective is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations. This ASU provides guidance requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheet. Lessor accounting does not significantly change, except for some changes made to align with new revenue recognition requirements. This ASU is effective for Devon beginning January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, but Devon does not plan to early adopt. Currently the guidance would be applied using a modified retrospective transition method, which requires applying the new guidance to leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest period in the financial statements. However, the FASB recently issued Proposed ASU No. 2018-200, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements which would allow entities to apply the transition provisions of the new standard at its adoption date instead of at the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements. The proposed ASU will allow entities to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Topic 840, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year the new leases standard is adopted. Entities that elect this option would still adopt the new leases standard using a modified retrospective transition method, but would recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption rather than in the earliest period presented. Recently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842), Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842. This ASU would permit an entity not to apply Topic 842 to land easements and rights-of-way that exist or expired before the effective date of Topic 842 and that were not previously assessed under Topic 840. An entity would continue to apply its current accounting policy for accounting for land easements that existed before the effective date of Topic 842. Once an entity adopts Topic 842, it would apply that Topic prospectively to all new (or modified) land easements and rights-of-way to determine whether the arrangement should be accounted for as a lease. For Devon, these easement and right-of-way contracts represent a relatively small percentage of the aggregate value of contracts being evaluated but represent a significant number of contracts.

Devon has preliminarily determined its portfolio of leased assets and is reviewing all related contracts to determine the impact the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Devon anticipates the adoption of this standard will significantly impact its consolidated financial statements, systems, processes and controls. Devon is in the process of designing processes and controls and implementing a technology solution needed to comply with the requirements of this ASU. While Devon cannot currently estimate the quantitative effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements, the adoption will increase asset and liability balances on the consolidated balance sheets due to the required recognition of right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities.

The FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This ASU will expand hedge accounting for nonfinancial and financial risk components and amend measurement methodologies to more closely align hedge accounting with a company's risk management activities. The guidance also eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. This ASU only applies to entities that elect hedge accounting, which Devon has not for derivative financial instruments. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted in 2018. The ASU is required to be adopted using a cumulative effect (modified retrospective) transition method, which utilizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption to account for prior period effects rather than restating previously reported results. Devon is currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and assessing the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements if hedge accounting were elected by Devon in the future. 

 

The FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). This ASU allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Reform Legislation. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years and allows for early adoption in any interim period after issuance of the update. Devon is currently assessing the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Impact of ASC 606 Adoption

 

Devon adopted ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) using the modified retrospective method and has applied the standard to all existing contracts. ASC 606 supersedes previous revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605 and includes a five-step revenue recognition model to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The impact of adoption in the current period results is as follows:

Changes to upstream revenues and production expenses are due to the conclusion that Devon represents the principal and controls a promised product before transferring it to the ultimate third party customer in accordance with the control model in ASC 606. This is a change from previous conclusions reached for these agreements utilizing the principal versus agent indicators under ASC 605 where the assessment was focused on Devon passing title and not control to the processing entity and Devon ultimately receiving a net price from the third-party end customer. As a result, Devon has changed the presentation of revenues and expenses for these agreements. Revenues related to these agreements are now presented on a gross basis for amounts expected to be received from third-party customers through the marketing process. Gathering, processing and transportation expenses related to these agreements, incurred prior to the transfer of control to the customer at the tailgate of the natural gas processing facilities, are now presented as production expenses.

Changes to marketing and midstream revenues and expenses are due to the determination of when control is transferred. As a result, Devon has changed the classification of certain transactions from marketing and midstream revenues to expenses or from marketing and midstream expenses to revenues.

Upstream Revenues

Upstream revenues include the sale of oil, gas and NGL production. Oil, gas and NGL sales are recognized when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, delivery has occurred, control has transferred and collectability of the revenue is probable. Devon’s performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time. This occurs when control is transferred to the purchaser upon delivery of contract specified production volumes at a specified point. The transaction price used to recognize revenue is a function of the contract billing terms. Revenue is invoiced by calendar month based on volumes at contractually based rates with payment typically received within 30 days of the end of the production month. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities on oil, gas and NGL sales are presented separately from such revenues in the accompanying consolidated comprehensive statements of earnings.

Natural gas and NGL Sales

Under Devon’s natural gas processing contracts, natural gas is delivered to a midstream processing entity at the wellhead or the inlet of the midstream processing entity’s system. The midstream processing entity gathers and processes the natural gas and remits proceeds for the resulting sales of NGLs and residue gas. In these scenarios, Devon evaluates whether it is the principal or the agent in the transaction. Devon has concluded it is the principal under these contracts and the ultimate third party is the customer. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis, with gathering, processing and transportation fees presented as a component of production expenses in the consolidated comprehensive statement of earnings.

In certain natural gas processing agreements, Devon may elect to take residue gas and/or NGLs in-kind at the tailgate of the midstream entity’s processing plant and subsequently market the product. Through the marketing process, the product is delivered to the ultimate third-party purchaser at a contractually agreed-upon delivery point and Devon receives a specified index price from the purchaser. In this scenario, revenue is recognized when control transfers to the purchaser at the delivery point based on the index price received from the purchaser. The gathering, processing and compression fees attributable to the gas processing contract, as well as any transportation fees incurred to deliver the product to the purchaser, are presented as gathering, processing and transportation expense as a component of production expenses in the consolidated comprehensive statement of earnings.

Oil sales

Devon’s oil sales contracts are generally structured in one of two ways. First, production is sold at the wellhead at an agreed-upon index price, net of pricing differentials. In this scenario, revenue is recognized when control transfers to the purchaser at the wellhead at the net price received. Alternatively, production is delivered to the purchaser at a contractually agreed-upon delivery point at which the purchaser takes custody, title and risk of loss of the product. Under this arrangement, a third party is paid to transport the product and receive a specified index price from the purchaser with no deduction. In this scenario, revenue is recognized when control transfers to the purchaser at the delivery point based on the price received from the purchaser. The third-party costs are recorded as gathering, processing and transportation expense as a component of production expenses in the consolidated comprehensive statement of earnings.


Marketing and Midstream Revenues

Marketing and midstream revenues are generated as a result of performing gathering, transmission, processing, fractionation, storage, condensate stabilization, brine services and marketing, through various contractual arrangements, which include fee-based arrangements or arrangements where Devon purchases and resells commodities in connection with providing the related service and earns a net margin for its fee. Marketing and midstream revenues are recognized when performance obligations are satisfied. This occurs at the time contract specified products are sold or services are provided to third parties at a contractually fixed or determinable price, delivery occurs at a specified point or performance has occurred, control has transferred and collectability of the revenue is probable. Control is transferred from the producer when the midstream processor has discretion on the sale or further processing of the liquids. The transaction price used to recognize revenue and invoice customers is based on a contractually stated fee or on a third party published index price plus or minus a known differential. Devon typically receives payment for invoiced amounts within 30 days. Marketing and midstream revenues and expenses attributable to oil, gas and NGL purchases, transportation and processing contracts are reported on a gross basis when Devon takes control of the products and has risks and rewards of ownership.

For contracts where control of commodities is transferred before the service is performed, Devon generally has no performance obligation for its services, and accordingly, does not consider these revenue-generating service contracts. Based on that determination, all fees or fee-equivalent deductions stated in such contracts reduce the cost to purchase commodities. Alternatively, for contracts where control of commodities is transferred after the service is performed, Devon considers these contracts to contain performance obligations for its services. Accordingly, Devon considers the satisfaction of these performance obligations as revenue-generating and recognizes these fees as midstream services revenue at the time its performance obligations are satisfied. For contracts where control of commodities is never transferred, Devon simply earns a fee for its services and recognizes these fees as midstream services revenue at the time its performance obligations are satisfied.


Satisfaction of Performance Obligations and Revenue Recognitions

Since Devon has a right to consideration from its customers in amounts that correspond directly to the value that the customer receives from the performance completed on each contract, Devon applies the practical expedient in ASC 606 that allows recognition of revenue in the amount to which there is a right to invoice and prevents the need to estimate a transaction price for each contract and allocating that transaction price to the performance obligations within each contract. Devon recognizes revenue for sales or services at the time the natural gas, NGLs, crude oil or condensate are delivered at a fixed or determinable price.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

Most of Devon’s contracts are short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. Devon applies the practical expedient in ASC 606 exempting the disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. For contracts with terms greater than one year, Devon applies the practical expedient in ASC 606 exempting the disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under Devon’s contracts, each unit of product typically represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.

 

Contract Balances

 

Cash received relating to future performance obligations are deferred and recognized when all revenue recognition criteria are met. Contract liabilities generated from such deferred revenue are not considered material as of March 31, 2018. Devon’s product sales and marketing and midstream contracts do not give rise to contract assets under ASC 606.


Disaggregation of Revenue

 

Revenue from both upstream revenues and marketing and midstream revenues represent revenue from contracts with customers and these revenue line items are reflected in the consolidated comprehensive statements of earnings. The following table presents revenue from contracts with customers that are disaggregated based on the type of good or service. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, no purchaser accounted for more than 10% of Devon’s consolidated sales revenue.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

 

Devon Divestitures

In March 2018, Devon entered into a definitive agreement to sell a portion of its Barnett Shale assets, primarily located in Johnson County for $553 million, before purchase price adjustments. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2018. Estimated proved reserves associated with these assets are approximately 10% of total proved reserves. Devon anticipates the impact of the Johnson County divestiture will result in an adjustment to its capitalized costs with no gain recognition in the consolidated statement of earnings. In conjunction with the divestiture, Devon will settle certain gas processing contracts and expects to recognize an approximate $40 million settlement expense. 

EnLink Divestitures

During the first quarter of 2017, EnLink divested its ownership interest in Howard Energy Partners for approximately $190 million.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Objectives and Strategies

Devon enters into derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of its oil, gas and NGL production to hedge future prices received. Additionally, Devon and EnLink periodically enter into derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of their oil, gas and NGL marketing activities. These commodity derivative financial instruments include financial price swaps, basis swaps and costless price collars. Devon periodically enters into interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate volatility and foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the U.S. and Canadian dollar exchange rates. As of March 31, 2018, Devon did not have any open foreign exchange contracts.

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 generally contain provisions that provide for collateral payments if Devon’s or its counterparty’s credit rating falls below certain credit rating levels.

Commodity Derivatives

As of March 31, 2018, Devon had the following open oil derivative positions. The first table presents Devon’s oil derivatives that settle against the average of the prompt month NYMEX WTI futures price. The second table presents Devon’s oil derivatives that settle against the respective indices noted within the table.

Certain of Devon’s non-Canadian foreign subsidiaries have a U.S. dollar functional currency, hold Canadian-dollar cash and engage in intercompany loans with Canadian subsidiaries that are based in Canadian dollars. The value of the Canadian-dollar cash and intercompany loans increases or decreases from the remeasurement of the cash and loans into the U.S. dollar functional currency. During the first quarter of 2018, Devon recognized foreign exchange losses related to these activities resulting from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Canadian dollar.

Devon estimates its annual effective income tax rate in recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. Statutory tax rate changes and other significant or unusual items are recognized as discrete items in the quarter in which they occur. Under the Tax Reform Legislation, the U.S. corporate income tax rate was reduced to 21% effective January 1, 2018.

In the table above, the “other” effect is primarily composed of permanent differences for which dollar amounts do not increase or decrease in relation to the change in pre-tax earnings. Generally, such items have an insignificant impact on Devon’s effective income tax rate. However, these items have a more noticeable impact to the rate in the first quarter of 2018 due to lower relative earnings during the period.

Throughout 2017 and through the first quarter of 2018, Devon continued to maintain a 100% valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets resulting from prior year cumulative financial losses largely due to oil and gas impairments and significant net operating losses for U.S. federal and state income tax. Furthermore, a partial allowance continues to be held against certain Canadian segment deferred tax assets.

During the first quarter of 2018, Devon repatriated approximately $92 million from certain international entities. This repatriation had no tax impact.

In December 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (SAB 118), which allows Devon to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year after the enactment date. As the Tax Reform Legislation was passed late in the fourth quarter of 2017 and ongoing guidance and accounting interpretation are expected over the next 12 months, Devon considers the accounting of the transition tax, deferred tax remeasurements and other items to be incomplete due to the forthcoming guidance and ongoing analysis of Devon’s tax positions. Devon expects to complete its analysis within the measurement period in accordance with SAB 118. No material changes to the provisional amounts recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 have been made during the first quarter of 2018.

Devon is under audit in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions as part of its normal course of business. The timing of resolution of income tax examinations is uncertain as are the amounts and timing of tax payments that are part of any audit settlement process. Devon believes that within the next 12 months it is reasonably possible that certain tax examinations will be resolved by settlement with the taxing authorities.

Credit Lines

Devon has a $3.0 billion Senior Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2018, Devon had $51 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Senior Credit Facility. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility at March 31, 2018. 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 no greater than 65%. Under the terms of the credit agreement, total capitalization is adjusted to add back noncash financial write-downs such as impairments. As of March 31, 2018, Devon was in compliance with this covenant with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 26.2%.


Retirement of Senior Notes

In the first quarter of 2018, Devon completed tender offers to repurchase $807 million in aggregate principal amount of debt securities, using cash on hand. This included $384 million of the 7.875% senior notes due September 30, 2031 and $423 million of the 7.95% senior notes due April 15, 2032. Devon recognized a $312 million loss on early retirement of debt, consisting of $304 million in cash retirement costs and $8 million of noncash charges. These costs, along with other charges associated with retiring the debt, are included in net financing costs in the consolidated comprehensive statements of earnings.

EnLink Debt

All of EnLink’s and the General Partner’s debt is non-recourse to Devon.

EnLink has a $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2018, there were $10 million in outstanding letters of credit and $370 million in outstanding borrowings at an average rate of 3.3% under the $1.5 billion credit facility. The General Partner has a $250 million secured revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2018, the General Partner had $77 million in outstanding borrowings at an average rate of 3.5%. EnLink and the General Partner were in compliance with all financial covenants in their respective credit facilities as of March 31, 2018.

21.

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 oil and natural gas producers and related parties, including Devon, have been named in various lawsuits alleging royalty underpayments. Devon is currently named as a defendant in a number of such lawsuits, including some lawsuits in which the plaintiffs seek to certify classes of similarly situated plaintiffs. Among the allegations typically asserted in these suits are claims that Devon 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 oil, natural gas and NGLs produced and sold. Devon is also involved in governmental agency proceedings and royalty audits and is subject to related contracts and regulatory controls in the ordinary course of business, some that may lead to additional royalty claims. 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 environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including with respect 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.

Other Matters

Devon is involved in other various 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 table above.

Level 1 Fair Value Measurements

Cash equivalents – Amounts consist primarily of money market investments and U.S. and Canadian treasury securities. The fair value approximates the carrying value.

Level 2 Fair Value Measurements

Cash equivalents – Amounts consist primarily of commercial paper and Canadian agency and provincial securities investments. The fair value approximates the carrying value.

Commodity and interest rate derivatives – The fair values of commodity and interest rate 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 debt are estimated based on rates available for debt with similar terms and maturity. The fair value of the credit facility balance is the carrying value.

Installment payment – The fair value of the EnLink installment payment was based on Level 2 inputs from third-party market quotations.

Capital lease obligations – The fair value was calculated using inputs from third-party banks.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information

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 E&P 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 U.S. and Canadian segments are both primarily engaged in oil and gas E&P activities.

Devon considers EnLink, combined with the General Partner, to be an operating segment that is distinct from the U.S. and Canadian operating segments. EnLink’s operations consist of midstream assets and operations located across the U.S. Additionally, EnLink has a management team that is primarily responsible for capital and resource allocation decisions. Therefore, EnLink is presented as a separate reporting segment.

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
3 Months Ended
Mar. 31, 2018
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Recent Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In January 2018, Devon adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), using the modified retrospective method. See Note 2 for further discussion regarding Devon’s adoption of the revenue recognition standard.

 

In January 2018, Devon adopted ASU 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This ASU requires entities to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same line item as other employee compensation costs. Only the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is eligible for capitalization. As a result of adoption of this ASU, consolidated statement of earnings presentation changes were applied retrospectively, while service cost component capitalization was applied prospectively.

 

In January 2018, Devon adopted ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. This ASU requires an entity to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows and to provide a reconciliation of the totals in the statement of cash flows to the related captions in the balance sheet when the cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one line item on the balance sheet. As a result of adoption, Devon made changes to the statement of cash flows to include the required presentation and reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents retrospectively. Other than presentation, adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on Devon’s consolidated statement of cash flows.

Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

The FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU will supersede the lease requirements in Topic 840, Leases. Its objective is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations. This ASU provides guidance requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheet. Lessor accounting does not significantly change, except for some changes made to align with new revenue recognition requirements. This ASU is effective for Devon beginning January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, but Devon does not plan to early adopt. Currently the guidance would be applied using a modified retrospective transition method, which requires applying the new guidance to leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest period in the financial statements. However, the FASB recently issued Proposed ASU No. 2018-200, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements which would allow entities to apply the transition provisions of the new standard at its adoption date instead of at the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements. The proposed ASU will allow entities to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Topic 840, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year the new leases standard is adopted. Entities that elect this option would still adopt the new leases standard using a modified retrospective transition method, but would recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption rather than in the earliest period presented. Recently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842), Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842. This ASU would permit an entity not to apply Topic 842 to land easements and rights-of-way that exist or expired before the effective date of Topic 842 and that were not previously assessed under Topic 840. An entity would continue to apply its current accounting policy for accounting for land easements that existed before the effective date of Topic 842. Once an entity adopts Topic 842, it would apply that Topic prospectively to all new (or modified) land easements and rights-of-way to determine whether the arrangement should be accounted for as a lease. For Devon, these easement and right-of-way contracts represent a relatively small percentage of the aggregate value of contracts being evaluated but represent a significant number of contracts.

Devon has preliminarily determined its portfolio of leased assets and is reviewing all related contracts to determine the impact the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Devon anticipates the adoption of this standard will significantly impact its consolidated financial statements, systems, processes and controls. Devon is in the process of designing processes and controls and implementing a technology solution needed to comply with the requirements of this ASU. While Devon cannot currently estimate the quantitative effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements, the adoption will increase asset and liability balances on the consolidated balance sheets due to the required recognition of right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities.

The FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This ASU will expand hedge accounting for nonfinancial and financial risk components and amend measurement methodologies to more closely align hedge accounting with a company's risk management activities. The guidance also eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. This ASU only applies to entities that elect hedge accounting, which Devon has not for derivative financial instruments. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted in 2018. The ASU is required to be adopted using a cumulative effect (modified retrospective) transition method, which utilizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption to account for prior period effects rather than restating previously reported results. Devon is currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and assessing the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements if hedge accounting were elected by Devon in the future. 

 

The FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). This ASU allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Reform Legislation. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years and allows for early adoption in any interim period after issuance of the update. Devon is currently assessing the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

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.
