TEEKAY LNG PARTNERS
REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
Highlights
| • | Generated distributable cash flow of $57.8 million in the third quarter of 2012, an increase of 32 percent from the third quarter of 2011. |
| • | Declared third quarter 2012 cash distribution of $0.675 per unit. |
| • | Total liquidity of approximately $559 million as at September 30, 2012, including $182.2 million of net proceeds from the follow-on equity offering completed September 2012. |
| • | Significant increase in the number of LNG project tenders; Teekay LNG is actively bidding on several projects. |
Hamilton, Bermuda, November 8, 2012 – Teekay GP LLC, the general partner of Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (Teekay LNG or the Partnership) (NYSE: TGP), today reported the Partnership’s results for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. During the third quarter of 2012, the Partnership generated distributable cash flow(1) of $57.8 million, compared to $43.7 million in the same quarter of the previous year. The increase primarily reflects the incremental distributable cash flow resulting from the following acquisitions: one Multigas carrier delivered in October 2011; a 33 percent interest in four liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers delivered between August 2011 and January 2012; one liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carrier delivered in September 2011; and a 52 percent interest in six LNG carriers acquired in February 2012.
On October 12, 2012, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.675 per unit for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The cash distribution will be paid on November 9, 2012 to all unitholders of record on October 24, 2012.
“Shipping requirements to support new liquefaction projects scheduled to come on-line starting in 2015 are expected to create significant new demand for the global LNG shipping fleet,” commented Peter Evensen, Chief Executive Officer of Teekay GP L.L.C. “Against this backdrop, the Partnership is currently actively bidding on several LNG and floating storage and regasification projects with start-up dates in the 2015 through 2017 timeframe. Including approximately $180 million of net proceeds from the Partnership’s September 2012 follow-on equity offering, Teekay LNG is well-positioned for investment in one or more quality growth opportunities.”
| (1) | Distributable cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors to measure the financial performance of the Partnership and other master limited partnerships. Please see Appendix B for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable financial measure under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). |

Financial Summary
The Partnership reported adjusted net income attributable to the partners(1) (as detailed in Appendix A to this release) of $41.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, compared to $29.7 million for the same period of the prior year. Adjusted net income attributable to the partners excludes a number of specific items that had the net effect of decreasing net income by $8.6 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as detailed in Appendix A. Including these items, the Partnership reported net income attributable to the partners, on a GAAP basis, of $33.1 million and $27.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Partnership reported adjusted net income attributable to the partners(1) (as detailed in Appendix A to this release) of $117.8 million, compared to $79.1 million for the same period of the prior year. Adjusted net income attributable to the partners excludes a number of specific items that had the net effect of decreasing net income by $22.3 million and $29.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as detailed in Appendix A. Including these items, the Partnership reported net income attributable to the partners, on a GAAP basis, of $95.5 million and $49.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
For accounting purposes, the Partnership is required to recognize the changes in the fair value of its derivative instruments on its consolidated statements of income. This method of accounting does not affect the Partnership’s cash flows or the calculation of distributable cash flow, but results in the recognition of unrealized gains or losses on the consolidated statements of income as detailed in footnotes 1 and 2 to the Summary Consolidated Statements of Income included in this release.
| (1) | Adjusted net income attributable to the partners is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to Appendix A to this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP and information about specific items affecting net income which are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of the Partnership’s financial results. |

| (i) | Net voyage revenues represents voyage revenues less voyage expenses, which comprise all expenses relating to certain voyages, including bunker fuel expenses, port fees, canal tolls and brokerage commissions. Net voyage revenues is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors to measure the financial performance of shipping companies. Please see the Partnership’s website at www.teekaylng.com for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure as used in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. |
| (ii) | Cash flow from vessel operations (CFVO) represents income from vessel operations before (a) depreciation and amortization expense, (b) amortization of in-process revenue contracts and (c) adjusting for direct financing leases to a cash basis. CFVO is included because certain investors use this data to measure a company’s financial performance. CFVO is not required by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, equity income or any other indicator of the Partnership’s performance required by GAAP. Please see the Partnership’s website at www.teekaylng.com for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure as used in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. |
| (iii) | The Partnership’s equity accounted investments for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 include the Partnership’s 40 percent interest in Teekay Nakilat (III) Corporation, which owns four LNG carriers; the Partnership’s 50 percent interest in the Excalibur and Excelsior Joint Ventures, which owns one LNG carrier and one regasification unit; and the Partnership’s 33 percent interest in one LNG carrier that was delivered in August 2011 servicing the Angola LNG Project. The Partnership’s equity accounted investment for the three months ended September 30, 2012 also includes the Partnership’s 33 percent interest in three other LNG carriers that were delivered in late 2011 through early 2012 servicing the Angola LNG Project; and the Partnership’s 52 percent interest in MALT LNG Holdings ApS, the joint venture between the Partnership and Maurbeni Corporation, which acquired six LNG carriers on February 28, 2012. |
Liquefied Gas Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership’s Liquefied Gas segment, excluding equity-accounted vessels, was virtually unchanged at $55.7 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $56.0 million in the same quarter of the prior year.
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership’s equity-accounted vessels in the Liquefied Gas segment increased significantly to $40.6 million in the third quarter of 2012 from $15.2 million in the same quarter of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to the Teekay LNG-Marubeni joint venture’s acquisition of six LNG carriers from A.P. Moller Maersk A/P (the MALT LNG Carriers) in February 2012 and the acquisition of a 33 percent interest in the four Angola LNG Carriers from Teekay Corporation between August 2011 and January 2012.
Conventional Tanker Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership’s Conventional Tanker segment increased to $15.4 million in the third quarter of 2012 from $14.4 million in the same quarter of the prior year, primarily as a result of lower general and administrative expenses in the Conventional Tanker segment.

Liquidity

The increase in the Partnership’s liquidity balance is primarily due to the $182.2 million of net proceeds from the follow-on equity offering completed September 2012.

| (3) | For accounting purposes, the Partnership is required to revalue all foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities based on the prevailing exchange rate 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. |
| Foreign exchange (loss) gain includes realized gains relating to the amounts the Partnership received to settle the Partnership’s non-designated cross currency swap that was entered into as an economic hedge in relation to the Partnership’s Norwegian Kroner (NOK)-denominated unsecured bonds. The Partnership issued NOK 700 million unsecured bonds in May 2012 maturing in 2017. Foreign exchange (loss) gain 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: |

APPENDIX A – SPECIFIC ITEMS AFFECTING NET INCOME
(in thousands of U.S. Dollars)
Set forth below is a reconciliation of the Partnership’s unaudited adjusted net income attributable to the partners, a non-GAAP financial measure, to net income attributable to the partners as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Partnership believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Partnership’s financial performance. The items below are also typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of the Partnership’s financial results. Adjusted net income attributable to the partners is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

APPENDIX B – RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE
(in thousands of U.S. Dollars)
Description of Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Distributable Cash Flow (DCF)
Distributable cash flow represents net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash items, estimated maintenance capital expenditures, unrealized gains and losses from derivatives, deferred income taxes and foreign exchange related items. 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. Distributable cash flow is a quantitative standard used in the publicly-traded partnership investment community to assist in evaluating a partnership’s ability to make quarterly cash distributions. Distributable cash flow is not required by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other indicator of the Partnership’s performance required by GAAP. The table below reconciles distributable cash flow to net income.
