unaudited pro forma combined financial statements financial
"Exhibit 99.1 to this on presents the following unaudited pro forma combined financial information"
Unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are estimated financial reports that show what two or more businesses’ results and positions would look like if they were combined, prepared without a formal audit. Investors use them like a preview or mock-up—similar to stitching together two household budgets—to judge the potential size, profits and risks of a deal, but they rely on assumptions and carry more uncertainty than audited numbers.
acquisition method of accounting financial
"Devon will account for the merger using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations"
asset retirement obligations financial
"Asset retirement obligations | | | 863 | | | | 329 | | | | 1,192"
Asset retirement obligations are a company’s recorded promise to pay for dismantling, cleaning up, or restoring property when a long-lived asset is retired — for example decommissioning a plant or removing equipment. Companies estimate the future cleanup cost today and book it as a liability (and add the cost to the asset), so it affects the balance sheet, reported profits over time, and future cash needs; investors watch it like a planned bill that can reduce cash available for returns.
proved undeveloped reserves financial
"Proved undeveloped reserves: | | | | | | | | | | | | December 31, 2025"
Proved undeveloped reserves are quantities of oil or gas that geologists and engineers are confident exist in a known reservoir but that have not yet been produced because wells or facilities still need to be built. For investors, they represent tangible future production potential—like apples you can see on a tree but must buy a ladder to pick—so they signal possible revenue growth but also require capital, time and execution risk to convert into cash.
standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows financial
"The pro forma combined standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and natural gas reserves"
A standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is a single number that converts a company’s expected future incoming and outgoing cash into today’s dollars by reducing later amounts for the time value of money and risk. Investors use it like a common yardstick to compare what a business or project is truly worth today versus its market price; imagine choosing between a promised series of future paychecks or a one-time lump sum now. This helps assess whether an investment appears over- or under-valued.
