Exhibit 99.2
DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information
Introduction
On September 26, 2020, Devon, East Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned, direct subsidiary of Devon (“Merger Sub”), and WPX Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WPX”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into WPX, with WPX surviving the merger (the “Merger”) as a wholly-owned, direct subsidiary of Devon. On January 7, 2021, Merger Sub completed the Merger with WPX pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Under the terms and conditions contained in the Merger Agreement, and upon the completion of the Merger, holders of shares of WPX common stock, at their election, received 0.5165 shares of Devon common stock.
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements (the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”) have been prepared from the respective historical consolidated financial statements of Devon and WPX and have been adjusted to reflect the completion of the Merger. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet data gives effect to the proposed Merger as if it had occurred on December 31, 2020, while the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations data for the year ended December 31, 2020 is presented as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2020. These summary unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Merger occurred as of the date indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected because of various factors.
The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with:
| • | | The audited consolidated financial statements of Devon included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020; and |
| • | | The audited consolidated financial statements of WPX which are filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. |
The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared to reflect adjustments to Devon’s historical consolidated financial information that are (i) directly attributable to the Merger, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) with respect to the Pro Forma Statements of Operations, expected to have a continuing impact on Devon’s results. Accordingly, the Pro Forma Financial Statements reflect the following:
| • | | the Merger, using the acquisition method of accounting, with Devon as the accounting acquirer and each share of WPX Common Stock converted into 0.5165 of a share of Devon Common Stock; |
| • | | the assumption of liabilities for expenses directly attributable to the Merger; and |
| • | | the reclassification of certain of WPX’s historical amounts to conform to Devon’s financial statement presentation. |
The acquisition method of accounting requires fair values be estimated and determined for the merger consideration, as well as the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by Devon upon completing the Merger. As of the date of this report, Devon has not completed the detailed valuation study necessary to arrive at the required final estimates of the fair value of the acquired WPX assets and assumed liabilities and the related purchase price. As soon as practical, Devon will identify the WPX assets acquired and liabilities assumed and make final determinations of their fair values using relevant information available at that time. As a result of the foregoing, the pro forma adjustments with respect to the Merger are preliminary and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analysis is performed. Any increases or decreases in the merger consideration and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed upon completion of the final valuations may be materially different from the information presented in the Pro Forma Financial Statements.
Although helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, the Pro Forma Financial Statements do not reflect the benefits of expected cost savings (or associated costs to achieve such savings), opportunities to earn additional revenue or other factors that may result after the Merger and, accordingly, do not attempt to predict or suggest future results. Specifically, the Pro Forma Statements of Operations exclude projected synergies expected to be achieved as a result of the Merger, as well as any associated costs that may be required to achieve the identified synergies. The Pro Forma Statements of Operations also exclude the effects of transaction costs associated with the Merger, costs associated with restructuring actions, integration activities or asset dispositions resulting from the Merger, which to the extent they occur, are expected to be non-recurring and will not have been incurred at the closing date of the Merger. However, such costs could affect the combined company following the Merger in the period the costs are incurred or recorded. Further, the Pro Forma Financial Statements do not reflect the effect of any regulatory actions that may impact the results of the combined company following the Merger.
