Net Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Devon
The net earnings exhibit significant variability over the years analyzed. From 2005 through 2007, earnings were consistently strong, peaking at 4,704 million USD in 2011. However, the period between 2008 and 2010 experienced substantial losses, with the largest losses occurring in 2008 (-2,148 million USD) and 2009 (-2,479 million USD), followed by a recovery in 2010 (4,550 million USD). After 2011, the earnings showed mixed performance with losses and gains alternating—most notably the steep loss of 14,454 million USD in 2015. From 2016 onward, earnings fluctuated, with positive values generally increasing after 2017 and reaching a peak in 2022 at 6,015 million USD. This pattern indicates a highly volatile earnings profile with periods of significant downturns followed by considerable recoveries.
Stockholders’ Equity Attributable to Devon
The stockholders’ equity generally increased in the years 2005 to 2007, ascending from 14,862 million USD to a peak of 22,006 million USD. Subsequently, a decline ensued between 2008 and 2010, where equity dropped to 15,570 million USD before climbing again to 21,430 million USD in 2011. Post-2011, equity showed a downward trend overall, with notable sharp decreases in 2014 and 2015, falling to 7,049 million USD and 5,927 million USD respectively. Though modest recoveries occurred thereafter, the equity levels remained below earlier peaks, ending at 11,167 million USD in 2022. This trend suggests a substantial erosion of shareholder equity during mid-decade, with partial restoration in later years, reflecting the company’s fluctuating financial stability.
Return on Equity (ROE)
The Return on Equity mirrors the net earnings trend with marked volatility. Early years (2005-2007) demonstrated robust ROE values exceeding 16%, signaling effective profit generation relative to equity. Negative returns appeared between 2008 and 2010, reaching a trough of -15.92% in 2009, congruent with the net losses observed. A recovery followed in 2010 and 2011, with ROE exceeding 20%. However, starting in 2014, ROE plunged to extreme negative values, including -205.05% in 2014 and -55.71% in 2015, indicating disproportionately large losses relative to equity that year. From 2016 onward, ROE gradually recovered, showing positive and increasing values by 2022, where it peaked at 53.86%. This fluctuation demonstrates the company's struggle to maintain consistent profitability relative to its equity base through the period, with significant recovery in the latest years.
