Second Quarter of 2020 Compared to Second Quarter of 2019

GAAP net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to the partners and preferred unitholders were positively impacted for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, by: earnings from six liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier newbuildings which delivered into the Partnership’s consolidated fleet and equity-accounted joint ventures last year; fewer dry docking and repair off-hire days; and higher earnings by certain of the Partnership's joint ventures as their individual projects commenced or certain of their vessels commenced charters at, or earned, higher rates. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in earnings upon the sales of two LNG carriers in January 2020, and an oil tanker in October 2019.

Second Quarter of 2020 Compared to First Quarter of 2020

GAAP net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to the partners and preferred unitholders were positively impacted for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, by a reduction in operational performance claims; higher earnings in one of the Partnership's joint ventures due to higher LPG rates; and a decrease in income tax expense. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in vessel operating expenses due to the timing of repairs and maintenance and an increase in general and administrative expenses due to additional professional fees incurred in the second quarter of 2020. In addition, GAAP net income was higher in the second quarter of 2020 as a result of a write-down recorded in the first quarter of 2020 and decreases in unrealized losses on non-designated derivative instruments and credit loss provision adjustments in the second quarter of 2020, including within the Partnership's equity-accounted joint ventures. These increases were partially offset by unrealized foreign currency exchange losses incurred in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to gains in the first quarter of 2020.

CEO Commentary

“We are pleased to report that this was another record quarter for Teekay LNG,” commented Mark Kremin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Teekay Gas Group Ltd. “While COVID-19 continues to have an unprecedented impact on the world and is a major focus for us, we have been able to fully service our charter contracts and have continued to receive contracted cash flows from our high quality customers. As a result of the pandemic, the overall maritime industry has experienced significant challenges related to crew changes, but I am pleased to report that we have safely changed-out a number of crew members on all of our vessels. We continue to work hard with both the industry and inter-governmental organizations to tackle this challenge and bring our remaining overdue colleagues home safely as soon as possible. I am truly proud of how our seafarers and onshore colleagues have responded to ensure safe and successful transitions with no reported COVID-19 cases, while providing uninterrupted service to our customers.”

Mr. Kremin continued, “Following the completion of our growth program late last year, our focus has been primarily on delevering our balance sheet, which also reduces interest costs, and maximizing our fleet utilization, which provides us with stable, predictable cash flows. This focus, in combination with consistent operational performance and competitive costs, driven by our economies of scale, has resulted in record Adjusted Net Income(1) and Total Adjusted EBITDA(1) for Teekay LNG this quarter.”

Mr. Kremin continued, “Our LNG fleet is fully-fixed for the remainder of 2020 and 94 percent fixed for 2021, largely insulating Teekay LNG from the current weak short-term LNG shipping market. Furthermore, all of our charter contracts are currently operating in-line with our expectations, which allows us to reaffirm our previously provided financial guidance for 2020.”

Summary of Recent Events

In July 2020, the Partnership entered into a new commercial management agreement with the current manager of its seven wholly-owned multi-gas vessels. The new agreement has a two-year term effective September 2020 and is in direct continuation of the expiry of the current commercial management agreement.

In May 2020, Teekay Corporation and the Partnership eliminated all of the Partnership's incentive distribution rights held by the General Partner in exchange for 10.75 million newly-issued common units. Following the completion of this transaction on May 11, 2020, Teekay Corporation now beneficially owns approximately 36 million of the Partnership's common units and remains the sole owner of the General Partner, which together represents an economic interest of approximately 42 percent in the Partnership.

In May 2020, on maturity, the Partnership repaid its 1 billion Norwegian Krone (NOK) -denominated bonds and the associated cross currency swap arrangement. This repayment amounted to $111 million, net of $23 million of cash collateral released on the associated cross currency swap.

In May 2020, the Partnership's 52 percent-owned joint venture with Marubeni Corporation (the MALT Joint Venture) chartered the Marib Spirit to an international trading company for a period of six months, which commenced in mid-June 2020.

In April 2020, the MALT Joint Venture secured new charters for the Arwa Spirit and the Methane Spirit for periods of 12 and eight months, respectively. The new charters commenced upon completion and in direct continuation of their existing charters in May and July 2020, respectively.

Liquefied Natural Gas Segment

Income from vessel operations and consolidated adjusted EBITDA(1) for the liquefied natural gas segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, decreased primarily by a reduction in earnings upon the sales of the WilForce and WilPride LNG carriers in January 2020. This decrease was partially offset by fewer off-hire days in the second quarter of 2020 due to scheduled dry dockings for certain of the Partnership's LNG carriers.

Equity income and adjusted EBITDA from equity-accounted vessels(1) for the liquefied natural gas segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, increased primarily due to: the deliveries of four ARC7 LNG carrier newbuildings between June and December 2019 to the Partnership’s 50 percent-owned joint venture with China LNG Shipping (Holdings) Limited (Yamal LNG Joint Venture); commencement of terminal use payments in January 2020 to the Partnership's 30 percent-owned joint venture with National Oil & Gas Authority, Gulf Investment Corporation and Samsung C&T (the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture); higher earnings from the MALT Joint Venture as a result of the one-year charter contracts that were secured at higher rates for the Arwa Spirit and Marib Spirit in June and July 2019, respectively; and fewer off-hire days due to scheduled dry dockings and main engine overhauls for certain vessels in the second quarter of 2019.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas Segment

Income from vessel operations and consolidated adjusted EBITDA(1) for the liquefied petroleum gas segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, was relatively stable.

Equity income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA from equity-accounted vessels(1) for the liquefied petroleum gas segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, were positively impacted by higher LPG rates earned and fewer off-hire days in the Partnership’s 50 percent-owned LPG joint venture with Exmar NV (the Exmar LPG Joint Venture).

Conventional Tanker Segment

There were no results from vessel operations for the conventional tanker segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as the last of the Partnership's conventional tankers, the Toledo Spirit and Alexander Spirit, were sold in January and October of 2019, respectively.

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 SEC. These non-GAAP financial measures which include Adjusted Net Income Attributable to the Partners and Preferred Unitholders, Distributable Cash Flow, Total Adjusted Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered substitutes for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these measures do not have standardized meanings across companies, and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP measures are used by management, and the Partnership believes that these supplementary metrics assist investors and other users of its financial reports in comparing financial and operating performance of the Partnership across reporting periods and with other companies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Total Adjusted Revenues represents the Partnership's voyage revenues from its consolidated vessels, as shown in the Partnership's Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), and its proportionate ownership percentage of the voyage revenues from its equity-accounted joint ventures, as shown in Appendix E of this release, less the Partnership's proportionate share of voyage revenues earned directly from its equity-accounted joint ventures. Please refer to Appendix C and E of this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to voyage revenues and equity income, the most directly comparable GAAP measures reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements. The Partnership's equity-accounted joint ventures are generally required to distribute all available cash to their owners. However, the timing and amount of dividends from each of the Partnership's equity-accounted joint ventures may not necessarily coincide with the operating cash flow generated from each respective equity-accounted joint venture. The timing and amount of dividends distributed by the Partnership's equity-accounted joint ventures are affected by the timing and amounts of debt repayments in the joint ventures, capital requirements of the joint ventures, as well as any cash reserves maintained in the joint ventures for operations, capital expenditures and/or as required under financing agreements.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization and is adjusted to exclude certain items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated in advance or that are not considered representative of core operating performance. Such adjustments include unrealized credit loss adjustments, unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments, foreign exchange gains or losses, adjustments for direct financing and sales-type leases to a cash basis, and certain other income or expenses. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes realized gains or losses on interest rate swaps as management, in assessing the Partnership's performance, views these gains or losses as an element of interest expense and realized gains or losses on derivative instruments resulting from amendments or terminations of the underlying instruments. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA from vessels that are consolidated on the Partnership's financial statements. Adjusted EBITDA from Equity-Accounted Vessels represents the Partnership's proportionate share of Adjusted EBITDA from its equity-accounted vessels. The Partnership does not have the unilateral ability to determine whether the cash generated by its equity-accounted vessels is retained within the entity 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 any such distributions to the Partnership and other owners. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors and management to measure the operational performance of companies. Please refer to Appendices C and E of this release for reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to net income and equity income, respectively, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to the Partners and Preferred Unitholders excludes items of income or loss from GAAP net income (loss) 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 income, and refer to footnote (3) of the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) 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 (loss) adjusted for 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, unrealized credit loss adjustments, distributions relating to equity financing of newbuilding installments, distributions relating to preferred units, adjustments for direct financing and sales-type leases to a cash basis, unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses, and the Partnership’s proportionate share of such items in its 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) In the first quarter of 2020, the Partnership wrote-down six wholly-owned multi-gas carriers (the Pan Spirit, Unikum Spirit, Vision Spirit, Camilla Spirit, Sonoma Spirit and Cathinka Spirit) to their estimated fair values. The total impairment charge of $45.0 million related to these six multi-gas carriers is included in write-down of vessels for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and six months ended June 30, 2020.

(2) In January 2019, the Toledo Spirit conventional tanker was sold and as a result of this sale, the Partnership recorded restructuring charges of $0.8 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

(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.

(5) For accounting purposes, the Partnership is required to revalue all foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities based on the prevailing exchange rates at the end of each reporting period. This revaluation does not affect the Partnership’s cash flows or the calculation of distributable cash flow, but results in the recognition of unrealized foreign currency translation gains or losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

Foreign currency exchange (loss) gain includes realized (losses) gains 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 Krone (NOK) denominated unsecured bonds. Foreign currency exchange gain (loss) also includes unrealized gains (losses) relating to the change in fair value of such derivative instruments and unrealized (losses) gain on the revaluation of the NOK bonds as detailed in the table below:

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) which reflect management’s current views with respect to certain future events and performance, including statements, among other things, regarding: the impact of COVID-19 and related global events on the Partnership's operations and cash flows; the Partnership’s ability to achieve previously disclosed financial guidance for 2020; fixed charter coverage for the Partnership's LNG fleet for the remainder of 2020 and 2021; the Partnership's ability to complete remaining crew changes and anticipated timing thereof; the timing of the new commercial management agreement for the Partnership's seven wholly-owned multi-gas vessels; the Partnership's operational performance and cost competitiveness, including the Partnership’s ability to derive benefits from its economies of scale; expected reductions in the Partnership’s interest costs as it continues to reduce its debt levels; and the continued performance of the Partnership's and its joint ventures' charter contracts. The following factors are among those that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, and that should be considered in evaluating any such statement: changes in production of LNG or LPG, either generally or in particular regions; changes in trading patterns or timing of start-up of new LNG liquefaction and regasification projects significantly affecting overall vessel tonnage requirements; changes in applicable industry laws and regulations and the timing of implementation of new laws and regulations; the potential for early termination of long-term contracts of existing vessels in the Partnership's fleet; higher than expected costs and expenses, including as a result of off-hire days or dry-docking requirements; general market conditions and trends, including spot, multi-month and multi-year charter rates; inability of customers of the Partnership or any of its joint ventures to make future payments under contracts; potential further delays to the formal commencement of commercial operations of the Bahrain Regasification Terminal; the inability of the Partnership to renew or replace long-term contracts on existing vessels; potential lack of cash flow to reduce balance sheet leverage or of excess capital available to allocate towards returning capital to unitholders; and other factors discussed in Teekay LNG Partners’ filings from time to time with the SEC, including its Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. The Partnership expressly disclaims any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Partnership’s expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
