Devon Energy Q1 net earnings fall to $494 million; oil output beats guidance
Devon Energy reported first-quarter 2025 net earnings of $494 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, down from $596 million, or $0.94, a year earlier, while core earnings were $779 million, or $1.21 per share. The company raised its full-year 2025 oil production forecast and cut its full-year capital guidance by $100 million to $3.7 billion to $3.9 billion, which may matter to shareholders because it shows output above plan alongside lower spending.
Key points
- Net earnings were $494 million ($0.77 per diluted share) versus $596 million ($0.94) in Q1 2024, and $639 million ($0.98) in Q4 2024; a $254 million asset impairment from divesting two corporate real estate assets weighed on results.
- Oil production averaged 388,000 barrels per day, exceeding guidance by 5,000 barrels per day; full-year 2025 oil forecast raised to 382,000 to 388,000 barrels per day.
- Full-year 2025 capital guidance cut to $3.7 billion to $3.9 billion from about $3.9 billion; first-quarter capital spending was $964 million, 5% below midpoint guidance.
- Devon agreed on May 5, 2025 to sell its equity interest in the Matterhorn Pipeline for approximately $375 million, expected to close in the second quarter of 2025; the company declared a $0.24 per share quarterly dividend payable June 30, 2
