Financial Summary

CEO Commentary

“In the first quarter of 2021, we recorded higher consolidated adjusted net income compared to the prior quarter due to improved results from each of our entities, despite the continued weakness in the spot conventional tanker market,” commented Kenneth Hvid, Teekay’s President and CEO. “We have been experiencing strong counter-seasonal demand for LNG carriers since late-March, with increases in both the spot and time charter LNG shipping markets. Teekay LNG has taken advantage of this improvement by recently securing three new time charters, including one spot market-linked contract. On the oil tanker side, although the near-term outlook is uncertain due to the continued impact of COVID-19, we are seeing early positive indicators that point towards an anticipated tanker market recovery, including improvements in the global economy, a continued decline in global oil inventories, an upcoming increase in OPEC+ production, and positive tanker fleet supply fundamentals.”

“Since reporting earnings in February 2021, we have made significant progress toward our strategic goal of winding down our FPSO segment,” continued Mr. Hvid. “Following the successful completion of Phase I of the Banff FPSO decommissioning project, in April 2021, we entered into a conditional agreement with the customer whereby they would take over our remaining Phase II decommissioning responsibilities and thus enabling synergies to be realized when combining this with their existing subsea decommissioning work. Once finalized, this agreement would represent the conclusion of our involvement and exposure to the Banff project, after over 20 years of successful operations. In addition, the Foinaven FPSO, which has been operating under contract at a nominal day rate since receiving an upfront cash payment of $67 million in April 2020, is expected to be redelivered to us in the first half of 2022 as a result of BP’s recent decision to suspend production on the Foinaven field. Following the redelivery, we expect to green-recycle the unit, with the associated costs expected to be covered by a fixed contractual lump sum payment from the customer. Assuming the conditions of the Banff decommissioning agreement are met by June 2021, we expect to reduce our total accrued asset retirement obligations next quarter.”

Mr. Hvid added, “In mid-April, Teekay LNG announced an increase to its quarterly common unit distribution by 15 percent, to $1.15 per unit per annum. This increase will add to Teekay Parent’s free cash flows and represents the third consecutive annual double-digit increase to Teekay LNG’s common unit distribution, which is supported by its large and diversified portfolio of long-term contracts. Importantly, we believe that this level of distribution will enable Teekay LNG to continue delevering its balance sheet, which will increase its financial flexibility and ability to optimally allocate capital as the global demand for LNG continues to grow.”

Summary of Results

Teekay Corporation Consolidated

The Company’s consolidated GAAP net income and adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ for the first quarter of 2021, compared to consolidated GAAP net loss and adjusted net income in the same quarter of the prior year, were positively impacted by higher earnings from Teekay LNG due to a decrease in operational claims and higher liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) rates, as well as higher FPSO unit earnings due to the elimination of the operating losses on the Foinaven FPSO unit as a result of the commencement of the new bareboat contract which commenced at the end of the first quarter of 2020. These increases were offset by lower earnings from Teekay Tankers as a result of lower average spot tanker rates during the first quarter of 2021 and the sale of five tankers during the first quarters of 2020 and 2021.

In addition, consolidated GAAP net income during the first quarter of 2021, compared to consolidated GAAP net loss in the same period of the prior year, was positively impacted by a decrease in asset write-downs and the recording of unrealized gains on non-designated derivative instruments in the first quarter of 2021, compared to unrealized losses on non-designated derivative instruments in the first quarter of 2020. These increases were partially offset by the realized loss on the termination of one of Teekay LNG’s interest rate swap agreements associated with a debt refinancing completed in the first quarter of 2021 at a lower all-in interest rate.

Teekay Parent

Total Teekay Parent Free Cash Flow⁽¹⁾ was $4.1 million during the first quarter of 2021, compared to $52.7 million for the same period of the prior year, primarily due to the receipt of a $67 million upfront lease payment in the prior year upon entering into the new bareboat contract for the Foinaven FPSO in March 2020, and lower contribution from the Banff FPSO unit relating to the decommissioning of the Banff oil field that began in June 2020. These items were partially offset by a 15 percent increase in Teekay LNG’s quarterly cash distributions, commencing with the distribution relating to the first quarter of 2021, an increase in cash flows from Teekay Parent’s marine services business in Australia, and the elimination of the operating losses on the Foinaven FPSO unit as a result of the commencement of the new bareboat contract at the end of the first quarter of 2020.

Please refer to Appendix D of this release for additional information about Teekay Parent’s Free Cash Flow⁽¹⁾.

Summary Results of Daughter Entities

Teekay LNG

Teekay LNG’s GAAP net income and adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ for the first quarter of 2021, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, were positively impacted by a decrease in operational claims under its charter contracts and higher rates earned for certain of Teekay LNG’s 50 percent-owned LPG carriers. These increases were partially offset by more scheduled dry dockings, redeployment of certain LNG carriers at lower rates, and the timing of certain vessel operating expenses during the first quarter of 2021.

In addition, compared to the same period of the prior year, Teekay LNG’s GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2021 was positively impacted by unrealized gains on non-designated derivative instruments, compared to unrealized losses in the first quarter of 2020, and by write-downs recorded on Teekay LNG’s multi-gas carriers in the first quarter of 2020. These increases were partially offset by a realized loss on the termination of an interest rate swap agreement associated with a debt refinancing completed in the first quarter of 2021.

Please refer to Teekay LNG’s first quarter 2021 earnings release for additional information on the financial results for this entity.

Teekay Tankers

Teekay Tankers’ GAAP net income and adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ in the first quarter of 2021, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, were negatively impacted primarily by lower average spot tanker rates in the first quarter of 2021, as well as the sale of five tankers during the first quarters of 2020 and 2021. These decreases were partially offset by lower vessel operating expenses and interest expense in the first quarter of 2021, compared to the same period of the prior year.

Crude tanker spot rates remained under pressure during the first quarter of 2021 due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global oil demand, oil supply cuts by the OPEC+ group of producers, as well as the continued unwinding of floating storage. However, the mid-size crude tanker sectors experienced some pockets of strength during the latter part of the first quarter of 2021 due to the impact of weather events in the Atlantic Basin and the blockage of the Suez Canal in late-March 2021. The tanker market in the second quarter of 2021 has thus far remained relatively soft, and with the continued impact of COVID-19, the near-term outlook remains uncertain. At the same time, there are early positive indicators which point towards an anticipated tanker market recovery, including improvements in the global economy, a continued decline in global oil inventories, a planned increase in OPEC+ production, and positive tanker fleet supply fundamentals.

Please refer to Teekay Tankers’ first quarter 2021 earnings release for additional information on the financial results for this entity.

Summary of Recent Events

Teekay Parent

Banff FPSO Update

In April 2021, Teekay Parent and CNR International (U.K.) Limited (CNRI), on behalf of the Banff joint venture, entered into a Decommissioning Services Agreement (DSA) whereby Teekay Parent engaged CNRI to decommission Teekay’s remaining subsea infrastructure located within the CNRI-operated Banff field. As part of the DSA, CNRI will assume full responsibility for Teekay’s remaining asset retirement obligations (Phase II) for the above-mentioned facilities, which would enable CNRI to complete this work in conjunction with their other decommissioning work at the Banff field in a more efficient manner. As part of the transaction, Teekay will be deemed to have completed all of its prior decommissioning obligations.

The DSA is subject to certain conditions precedent that need to be satisfied by June 1, 2021 (or any agreed extension thereto), failing which the DSA may be terminated by either party. Such conditions precedent include receiving confirmation from the applicable U.K. regulatory authorities that Teekay has completed all of its obligations in relation to Phase I of the decommissioning project.

Foinaven FPSO Update

In April 2021, BP announced its decision to suspend production from the Foinaven oil fields and permanently remove the Foinaven FPSO unit from the site. The Company expects the FPSO unit will be redelivered to Teekay Parent in the first half of 2022, at which point the Company intends to green-recycle the FPSO unit. The Foinaven FPSO has been operating under a new bareboat charter agreement secured in March 2020, which included an upfront cash payment of $67 million that was received in April 2020, a nominal day rate during the duration of the contract, and a fixed lump sum payment at the end of the contract that the Company expects will cover the green recycling costs for the unit in 2022.

As a result of the above-mentioned developments relating to the Banff and Foinaven FPSOs, subject to meeting the conditions precedent of the DSA by June 1, 2021, the Company expects to reduce its accrued net asset retirement obligations in the second quarter of 2021.

Teekay LNG

In April 2021, Teekay LNG secured a fixed-rate charter contract for the Oak Spirit MEGI LNG carrier, which is expected to commence in August or September 2021, for a period of one-year.

In March 2021, Teekay LNG commenced a one-year, spot market-linked charter contract, with a one-year, fixed-rate option for the Creole Spirit MEGI LNG carrier.

In March 2021, the charterer of the 52 percent-owned Arwa Spirit DFDE LNG carrier exercised its one-year option to extend the charter contract to May 2022 at a fixed rate.

In February 2021, Teekay LNG’s 70 percent-owned joint venture with PT Berlian Laju Tanker, refinanced its term loan which was scheduled to mature in 2021, by entering into a new, $191.5 million term loan maturing in February 2026.

Teekay Tankers

In March 2021, Teekay Tankers declared options to repurchase six Aframax vessels that are currently on long-term sale-leaseback financings for approximately $129 million, which are expected to close in September 2021. This is in addition to the declared purchase options on two Suezmax vessels that are currently on long-term sale-leaseback financings for approximately $57 million, which are expected to close in May 2021. Teekay Tankers intends to fund these purchases with new long-term sale-leaseback financings and existing liquidity.

Liquidity

As at March 31, 2021, Teekay Parent had total liquidity of approximately $183.0 million (consisting of $33.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, and $150.0 million of undrawn capacity from a revolving credit facility). On a consolidated basis, as at March 31, 2021, Teekay had consolidated total liquidity of approximately $1.0 billion (consisting of $284.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $676.8 million of undrawn capacity from its credit facilities).

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 Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These non-GAAP financial measures, which include Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Shareholders of Teekay, Teekay Parent Free Cash Flow, Net Interest Expense, Adjusted Equity Income 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 therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s financial performance, as does management.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Total Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest, taxes, 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 foreign currency exchange gains and losses, any write-downs and/or gains and losses on sale of operating assets, adjustments for direct financing and sales-type leases to a cash basis, amortization of in-process revenue contracts, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, credit loss provision adjustments, write-downs related to equity-accounted investments, our share of the above items in non-consolidated joint ventures which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, and other income or loss. Total Adjusted EBITDA also excludes realized gains or losses on interest rate swaps as management, in assessing the Company’s performance, views these gains or losses as an element of interest expense and realized gains or losses on interest rate swaps resulting from amendments or terminations of the underlying instruments.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA from vessels that are consolidated on the Company’s financial statements. Adjusted EBITDA from Equity-Accounted Vessels represents the Company’s proportionate share of Adjusted EBITDA from its equity-accounted vessels. The Company 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 Company holds the equity-accounted investments or distributed to the Company and other owners. In addition, the Company does not control the timing of any such distributions to the Company and other owners. Total Adjusted EBITDA represents Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA plus Adjusted EBITDA from Equity-Accounted Joint Ventures. 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 (loss) and equity income, respectively, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Shareholders of Teekay excludes items of income or loss from GAAP net income (loss) that are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of the Company’s financial results. The Company believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’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 (loss), and refer to footnote (6) of the statements of income (loss) for a reconciliation of adjusted equity income to equity income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Teekay Parent Financial Measures

Teekay Parent Adjusted EBITDA represents the sum of distributions or dividends (including payments-in-kind) relating to a given quarter (but received by Teekay Parent in the following quarter) as a result of ownership interests in its consolidated publicly-traded subsidiaries (Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers), Adjusted EBITDA attributed to Teekay Parent’s directly-owned and chartered-in assets, and Teekay Parent’s corporate general and administrative expenditures for the given quarter.

Teekay Parent Free Cash Flow represents Teekay Parent Adjusted EBITDA, plus upfront cash receivable in respect of a sales-type lease, less Teekay Parent’s net interest expense and, commencing in the second quarter of 2020, asset retirement costs incurred for the given quarter. Net Interest Expense includes interest expense (excluding non-cash accretion and the amortization of prepaid loan costs), interest income and realized losses on interest rate swaps. Please refer to Appendices B, C, D and E of this release for further details and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
