Credit Lines

In 2023, Devon amended and restated its 2018 Senior Credit Facility to provide for a new $3.0 billion revolving 2023 Senior Credit Facility. In the first quarter of 2024, Devon exercised its option to extend the 2023 Senior Credit Facility maturity date from March 24, 2028 to March 24, 2029. Devon has the option to extend the March 24, 2029 maturity date by two additional one-year periods subject to lender consent. As of December 31, 2024, Devon had no outstanding borrowings under the 2023 Senior Credit Facility and had issued $4 million in outstanding letters of credit under this facility. Interest rates on borrowings under the 2023 Senior Credit Facility are determined based on the applicable loan type elected by Devon and a pricing grid set forth in the credit agreement and vary according to the credit ratings of the Company. The 2023 Senior Credit Facility currently provides for an annual facility fee of approximately $5 million.

The 2023 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 non-cash financial write-downs such as impairments. As of December 31, 2024, Devon was in compliance with this covenant with a debt-to capitalization ratio of 26.5%.

Commercial Paper

Devon’s 2023 Senior Credit Facility supports its $3.0 billion of short-term credit under its commercial paper program. Commercial paper debt generally has a maturity of between 1 and 90 days, although it can have a maturity of up to 365 days, and bears interest at rates agreed to at the time of the borrowing. As of December 31, 2024, Devon had no outstanding commercial paper borrowings.

 

Term Loan Credit Agreement

In August 2024, Devon entered into a delayed draw term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”), providing for delayed draw term loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2.0 billion, including a 364-day tranche of $500 million and a two-year tranche of $1.5 billion. On September 27, 2024, Devon borrowed $1.0 billion on the two-year tranche (the “Term Loan”) to partially fund the closing of the Grayson Mill acquisition. In connection with the borrowing of the Term Loan, the undrawn commitments under the Term Loan Credit Agreement automatically terminated. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate based on term SOFR plus a spread adjustment that varies based on Devon's credit ratings. The interest rate on the Term Loan was 5.81% as of December 31, 2024.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains substantially the same financial covenant as the 2023 Senior Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2024, Devon was in compliance with this covenant with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 26.5%.

 

Issuance of Senior Notes

In August 2024, Devon issued $1.25 billion of 5.20% senior notes due 2034 and $1.0 billion of 5.75% senior notes due 2054. Devon used the net proceeds to partially fund the Grayson Mill acquisition. For additional information, see Note 2.
 


Retirement of Senior Notes

On September 15, 2024 and August 1, 2023, Devon repaid the $472 million of 5.25% senior notes and $242 million of 8.25% senior notes at maturity, respectively.
