The financial performance over the observed periods demonstrates significant volatility in net earnings attributable to Devon. Starting with a robust net earnings figure of $3,064 million at the end of 2018, the company experienced a notable decline into negative territory in 2019 and 2020, with losses reaching $355 million and $2,680 million, respectively. This indicates a period of financial distress or unfavorable operational conditions during these years. However, there is a strong recovery commencing in 2021, with net earnings rebounding to $2,813 million, and further strengthening in 2022 to $6,015 million, which surpasses the pre-decline level.
Net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) follows a similar pattern, confirming trends in operational efficiency and profitability. In 2018, NOPAT was $1,250 million, followed by a sharp decline in 2019 to $57 million, and a substantial loss of $2,522 million in 2020. The turnaround is evident in 2021, with NOPAT increasing to $3,160 million and continuing growth in 2022 to $7,447 million, indicating improved operational management and a return to profitability with even greater margins than initially observed.
- Trend Summary
- The period from 2018 to 2020 is characterized by a significant downturn in both net earnings and NOPAT, reflecting operational or market challenges.
- The years 2021 and 2022 mark a strong recovery, culminating in the highest profitability levels within the dataset.
- The recovery phase shows not only a restoration to prior earnings levels but also an enhancement, suggesting enhanced operational performance and/or favorable market conditions.
Cash Operating Taxes
Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2019-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2018-12-31).
The analysis of the data over the period from 2018 to 2022 reveals notable volatility in both income tax expense (benefit) and cash operating taxes.
- Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
- There is a significant fluctuation observed across the years. Starting at an expense of $156 million in 2018, the figure turned to a tax benefit of $30 million in 2019, and this benefit further increased substantially to $547 million in 2020. However, in 2021, the amount reverted to a tax expense of $65 million, followed by a sharp rise to $1738 million in 2022. The pattern indicates a high degree of variability with a strong upward spike in the latest year, suggesting considerable changes in taxable income, tax planning, or adjustments in tax legislation or assessments.
- Cash Operating Taxes
- Cash operating taxes also exhibit considerable variability. Beginning with a negative value of $4 million in 2018, which can indicate a tax refund or credit, the amount increased to $43 million in 2019. Then, a substantial negative amount of $167 million is reported in 2020, again implying a possible tax benefit or refund. The figure shifted to a positive $97 million in 2021 and rose sharply to $629 million in 2022. This variability and the marked increase in 2022 align with the trend in income tax expense, pointing towards a considerable increase in tax payments in the latest year after periods of tax benefits in prior years.
Overall, both measures demonstrate considerable instability, with the most notable changes occurring in 2020, when large tax benefits were recorded, and in 2022, when there was a substantial increase in tax expenses and cash taxes paid. These fluctuations may reflect changing profitability, tax strategies, or external factors affecting taxation.

2 Elimination of deferred taxes from assets and liabilities. See details »
3 Addition of allowance for doubtful accounts receivable.
4 Addition of restructuring liabilities.
5 Addition of equity equivalents to stockholders’ equity attributable to Devon.
6 Removal of accumulated other comprehensive income.
- Total Reported Debt & Leases
- The total reported debt and leases decreased significantly from 6,285 million USD at the end of 2018 to 4,555 million USD in 2019, remaining relatively stable into 2020 at 4,553 million USD. However, in 2021, this figure rose markedly to 6,760 million USD and then showed a slight decrease to 6,718 million USD in 2022. This indicates a period of debt reduction followed by an increase, suggesting a possible strategic increase in leverage or financing activities starting in 2021.
- Stockholders’ Equity Attributable to Devon
- Stockholders’ equity attributable to the company exhibited a downward trend from 9,186 million USD at the end of 2018 to a low of 2,885 million USD in 2020. This was followed by a strong recovery in the subsequent years, with equity rising to 9,262 million USD in 2021 and further increasing to 11,167 million USD by the end of 2022. This pattern reflects significant fluctuations in the company’s net worth over the period, with a notable rebound post-2020.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital decreased from 15,392 million USD at the end of 2018 down to 7,866 million USD in 2020, mirroring the declines seen in debt and equity during this period. From 2021 onwards, invested capital experienced substantial growth, rising sharply to 16,727 million USD and then continuing upward to 19,717 million USD in 2022. This trend suggests an expansion in the company’s asset base and funding sources during the last two years examined.
