GAAP net (loss) income was impacted for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, by various items, including: a provision relating to a potential tax indemnification guarantee liability, the write-down of three conventional tankers in the first quarter of 2018, and restructuring charges incurred in association with the sale of a conventional tanker in the first quarter of 2018, which were partially offset by an increase in unrealized gains on derivative instruments.
In addition, GAAP net (loss) income and non-GAAP adjusted net income were positively impacted by the deliveries of seven liquefied natural gas (LNG) and three liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carrier newbuildings between February 2017 and February 2018 and the commencement of short-term charter contracts for certain of the vessels in the Partnership’s 52 percent-owned joint venture with Marubeni Corporation (the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture). These increases were partially offset by the sale of a conventional tanker and an LPG carrier in the first quarter of 2018, lower rates earned in 2018 on two conventional tankers upon the expiration of their fixed-rate charter contracts in 2017, and lower rates earned in 2018 on six LPG carriers upon the termination of their previous charter contracts.
CEO Commentary
“The results for the first quarter of 2018 included certain non-recurring items relating to a tax indemnification guarantee liability and lower utilization on some of our LPG carriers as they are transitioning into our Teekay Multigas Pool,” commented Mark Kremin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Teekay Gas Group Ltd. “Despite these items, we continue to generate stable cash flows and I am pleased to report that since releasing our earnings in mid-February, we have made significant progress on various initiatives across the organization.”
“We have continued to take delivery of vessels on schedule as part of the world’s largest LNG carrier newbuilding orderbook. In addition, we recently completed another 2018 refinancing and are making significant progress on the remaining refinancings, which are on track to be completed within the third quarter of 2018. Finally, the Partnership successfully re-chartered the Arctic Spirit and Polar Spirit LNG carriers for four years and one year, respectively, upon their redeliveries from Teekay Corporation in May and March of this year. These new charter contracts, which will service the fast-growing LNG import market in China, will add further stability to Teekay LNG’s market-leading portfolio of forward fixed-rate revenues. Looking ahead, we are excited by the strong LNG demand fundamentals and our position as one of the world’s largest LNG transportation companies.”
Mr. Kremin continued, “Over the past seven months, we have taken delivery of only seven vessels out of our total LNG newbuilding program of 18 LNG carriers and a regasification terminal and therefore, a significant portion of the incremental $310 million of annual cash flow from vessel operations we expect to generate from this program when fully delivered, has not yet been reflected in our financial results. As the remaining newbuildings deliver through early-2020, which are all contracted on long-term charters, we expect further cash flow growth and natural delevering of our balance sheet.”
Summary of Recent Events
LNG and LPG Mid-sized Carrier Newbuilding Deliveries
In January 2018, the Partnership’s 50 percent-owned joint venture with China LNG Shipping (Holdings) Limited (China LNG) (the Yamal LNG Joint Venture) took delivery of its first ARC7 LNG carrier newbuilding, the Eduard Toll, which immediately commenced its 28-year charter contract with the Yamal LNG project.
In January 2018, the Partnership’s 30 percent-owned joint venture with China LNG and CETS (an affiliate of China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC)) took delivery of one LNG carrier newbuilding, the Pan Americas, which immediately commenced its 20-year charter contract with Royal Dutch Shell (Shell).
In February and May 2018, the Partnership took delivery of two M-Type, Electronically Controlled, Gas Injection (MEGI) LNG carrier newbuildings, the Magdala and Myrina, both of which immediately commenced their respective charter contracts with Shell ranging between six and eight years in duration, plus extension options.

In March 2018, the Partnership’s 50 percent-owned joint venture with Exmar NV (the Exmar LPG Joint Venture) took delivery of its seventh LPG carrier newbuilding, the Kapellen, which is currently trading in the spot market.
Re-chartering Activities
In March 2018, upon the scheduled redelivery from Teekay Corporation, the Partnership re-chartered the Polar Spirit to an Asian-based energy company for a period of approximately three months and then subsequently secured forward employment beginning in July 2018 for nine months with a subsidiary of Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas). In addition, the Partnership secured a four-year charter contract for the Arctic Spirit, also with a subsidiary of Petronas, which commenced immediately upon redelivery from Teekay Corporation in May 2018.
In May 2018, the Partnership agreed to a six-month charter extension of the Torben Spirit MEGI LNG carrier to a major energy company out to December 2018.
Teekay Nakilat Capital Lease
The Partnership owns a 70 percent interest in Teekay Nakilat Corporation (the Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture), which wholly owns a subsidiary which was the lessee under three separate 30-year capital lease arrangements for three LNG carriers (the RasGas II LNG Carriers). Under the terms of these leases, the lessor claimed tax depreciation on the capital expenditures incurred to acquire these vessels and paid the lessee an upfront benefit in the amount of $60.9 million at the lease inception. As is typical in these leasing arrangements, tax and change of law risks were assumed by the lessee, in this case the Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture. Lease payments under the lease arrangements were based on certain tax and financial assumptions at the commencement of the leases in 2006 and subsequently adjusted to maintain the lessor's agreed after-tax margin. On December 22, 2014, the Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture terminated the leases of the RasGas II LNG Carriers; however, it remained obligated to the lessor for changes in tax treatment.
The UK taxing authority (HMRC) has challenged the use by third parties of similar lease structures in the UK courts. One of those challenges was eventually decided in favor of HMRC, with the lessor and lessee choosing not to appeal further. This case concluded that capital allowances are not available to lessors. On the basis of this conclusion, HMRC is now asking lessees on other leases, including the Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture, to accept that capital allowances are not available to their lessors. Under the terms of the lease, the lessor is entitled to make a determination that additional rentals are due, even where a court has not made a determination on whether capital allowances are available or where discussions are otherwise ongoing with HMRC on the matter (such that additional rental paid may be rebated in due course if the final tax position is not as determined by the lessor). On May 10, 2018, the lessor made a determination that additional rentals are due under the leases. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture has recognized an additional tax indemnification guarantee liability of $53.0 million for a total liability of $65.6 million (46.9 million GBP) as at March 31, 2018. The Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture is in discussions with HMRC in relation to the correct tax treatment to be applied to the leases and with the lessor regarding the timing and amount of this potential liability for additional rentals.
Debt Financing Update
In May 2018, the Partnership refinanced an outstanding debt facility of $58 million maturing in 2018 and secured by five mid-sized LPG carriers, with a new $90 million long-term debt facility maturing in 2024 and secured by seven mid-sized LPG carriers.

Please refer to “Definitions and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the Appendices to this release for definitions of these terms and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures as used in this release to the most directly comparable financial measures under GAAP. |
Liquefied Gas Segment
Income from vessel operations and CFVO from consolidated vessels for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, increased primarily due to the deliveries of four LNG carrier newbuildings, the Torben Spirit, Macoma, Murex and Magdala between February 2017 and February 2018. This increase was partially offset by lower rates earned by six of the Partnership's LPG carriers following the Partnership's termination of their charter contracts due to non-payment by the charterer.
Equity income and CFVO from equity-accounted vessels increased for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to higher fleet utilization in the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture since certain of the joint venture’s vessels commenced short-term charter contracts; the delivery of the Eduard Toll ARC 7 LNG carrier in January 2018 to the Yamal LNG Joint Venture; the deliveries of the Pan Asia and Pan Americas LNG carriers in October 2017 and January 2018, respectively, in the Partnership’s 30-percent owned joint venture with China LNG and CETS; and the deliveries of three LPG carriers in the Exmar LPG Joint Venture. These increases were partially offset by the sale of the Courcheville LPG carrier in January 2018; lower rates earned in the Exmar LPG Joint Venture; and the sale of the S/S Excelsior LNG carrier in the Partnership’s 50-percent owned joint venture with Exmar NV (the Excelsior Joint Venture) in January 2018. Equity income was also positively impacted by an increase in net unrealized gains on designated and non-designated derivative instruments in our equity-accounted vessels and a gain recorded on the Partnership’s sale in January 2018 of its 50-percent owned investment in the Excelsior Joint Venture.
Conventional Tanker Segment
(Loss) income from vessel operations and CFVO from consolidated vessels for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, were impacted primarily by the sale of the Teide Spirit in February 2018 and associated restructuring charges as a result of the sale; and lower rates earned in 2018 on the African Spirit and European Spirit upon the expiration of their fixed-rate charter contracts in 2017. Loss from vessel operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was also impacted by write-downs of the Alexander Spirit, African Spirit and European Spirit conventional tankers to their current estimated fair values.

Definitions and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes various financial measures that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These non-GAAP financial measures, which include Cash Flow from Vessel Operations, Adjusted Net Income, and Distributable Cash Flow, are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these measures do not have standardized meanings across companies, and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Partnership believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Partnership’s financial performance, as does management.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Cash Flow from Vessel Operations (CFVO) represents income from vessel operations before depreciation and amortization expense, amortization of in-process revenue contracts, vessel write-downs, losses on the sales of vessels and adjustments for direct financing leases to a cash basis, but includes realized gains or losses on a derivative charter contract. CFVO from Consolidated Vessels represents CFVO from vessels that are consolidated on the Partnership’s financial statements. CFVO from Equity-Accounted Vessels represents the Partnership’s proportionate share of CFVO from its equity-accounted vessels. The Partnership does not control its equity-accounted vessels and as a result, the Partnership does not have the unilateral ability to determine whether the cash generated by its equity-accounted vessels is retained within the entities in which the Partnership holds the equity-accounted investments or distributed to the Partnership and other owners. In addition, the Partnership does not control the timing of such distributions to the Partnership and other owners. Consequently, readers are cautioned when using total CFVO as a liquidity measure as the amount contributed from CFVO from Equity-Accounted Vessels may not be available to the Partnership in the periods such CFVO is generated by its equity-accounted vessels. CFVO is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors and management to measure the operational financial performance of companies. Please refer to Appendices D and E of this release for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to income from vessel operations and income from vessel operations of equity-accounted vessels, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP measures reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.
Adjusted Net Income excludes items of income or loss from GAAP net (loss) income that are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of the Partnership’s financial results. The Partnership believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Partnership’s financial performance, as does management. Please refer to Appendix A of this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to net (loss) income, and refer to footnote (3) of the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for a reconciliation of adjusted equity income to equity income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.
Distributable Cash Flow (DCF) represents GAAP net income adjusted for an additional tax indemnification guarantee liability, depreciation and amortization expense, deferred income tax and other non-cash items, estimated maintenance capital expenditures, unrealized gains and losses from non-designated derivative instruments, ineffectiveness for derivative instruments designated as hedges for accounting purposes, distributions relating to equity financing of newbuilding installments, distributions relating to preferred units, adjustments for direct financing leases to a cash basis and foreign exchange related items, including the Partnership’s proportionate share of such items in equity-accounted for investments. Maintenance capital expenditures represent those capital expenditures required to maintain over the long-term the operating capacity of, or the revenue generated by, the Partnership’s capital assets. DCF is a quantitative standard used in the publicly-traded partnership investment community and by management to assist in evaluating financial performance. Please refer to Appendix B of this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

(1) | The African Spirit and European Spirit were classified as vessels held for sale upon the expiration of their time-charter contracts in 2017. The Partnership recorded an aggregate write-down of $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 on these two conventional tankers since the estimated fair values of these vessels have decreased. In addition, the Partnership recorded a write-down of $13.0 million relating to the Alexander Spirit conventional tanker to its estimated fair value, using an appraised value. This was as a result of changes in the Partnership's expectations of the vessel's future opportunities once its current contract ends in 2019. |
(2) | In February 2018, the Teide Spirit, was sold and as a result of this sale, the Partnership recorded restructuring charges of $1.4 million relating to seafarer severance costs. |
(3) | The Partnership’s proportionate share of items within equity income as identified in Appendix A of this release is detailed in the table below. By excluding these items from equity income, the Partnership believes the resulting adjusted equity income is a normalized amount that can be used to better evaluate the financial performance of the Partnership’s equity-accounted investments. Adjusted equity income is a non-GAAP financial measure. |

Foreign currency exchange loss includes realized losses relating to the amounts the Partnership paid to settle the Partnership’s non-designated cross-currency swaps that were entered into as economic hedges in relation to the Partnership’s Norwegian Kroner (NOK) denominated unsecured bonds. Foreign currency exchange loss also includes unrealized gains (losses) relating to the change in fair value of such derivative instruments, partially offset by unrealized gains (losses) on the revaluation of the NOK bonds as detailed in the table below:

(6) The Partnership owns a 70 percent interest in the Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture, which wholly owns a subsidiary which was the lessee under three separate 30-year capital lease arrangements with a third party for the RasGas II LNG Carriers. Under the terms of these leases, the lessor claimed tax depreciation on the capital expenditures it incurred to acquire these vessels and paid the lessee an upfront benefit in the amount of $60.9 million at the lease inception. As is typical in these leasing arrangements, tax and change of law risks were assumed by the lessee, in this case the Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture. Lease payments under the lease arrangements were based on certain tax and financial assumptions at the commencement of the leases in 2006 and subsequently adjusted to maintain the lessor's agreed after-tax margin. On December 22, 2014, the Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture terminated the leases of the RasGas II LNG Carriers; however, it remained obligated to the lessor for changes in tax treatment.

HMRC has been challenging the use by third parties of similar lease structures in the UK courts. One of those challenges was eventually decided in favor of HMRC, with the lessor and lessee choosing not to appeal further. This case concluded that capital allowances are not available to the lessor. On the basis of this conclusion, HMRC is now asking lessees on other leases, including the Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture, to accept that capital allowances are not available to their lessors. Under the terms of the Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture lease, the lessor is entitled to make a determination that additional rentals are due, even where a court has not made a determination on whether capital allowances are available or where discussions are otherwise ongoing with HMRC on the matter (such that additional rentals paid may be rebated in due course if the final tax position is not as determined by the lessor). On May 10, 2018, the lessor made a determination that additional rentals are due under the leases. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture recognized an additional tax indemnification guarantee liability of $53.0 million for a total liability of $65.6 million (46.9 million GBP) as at March 31, 2018. The Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture is in discussions with HMRC in relation to the correct tax treatment to be applied to the leases and with the lessor regarding the timing and amount of this potential liability for additional rentals.

From a DCF perspective, the Partnership's application of its 70 percent share of the benefit related to the RasGas II LNG Carriers leasing arrangements had the effect of increasing DCF by a total of $3.8 million from the delivery of these vessels up to March 31, 2018 on a cumulative basis. This was a result of the Partnership adjusting its estimated maintenance capital expenditures on the RasGas II LNG Carriers for the up-front benefit it received and amortizing this benefit over the life of the vessels. |
