GAAP net (loss) income and adjusted net income decreased in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to a favorable settlement in the second quarter of 2016 of a disputed charter contract termination in the Partnership’s 52 percent-owned joint venture with Marubeni Corporation (the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture); unscheduled off-hire in the second quarter of 2017 related to repairs for an LNG carrier; lower revenues from the Partnership’s six LPG carriers chartered to I.M. Skaugen SE from uncollected hire; sales of three conventional tankers in the second quarter of 2016 through the first quarter of 2017; and lower spot rates earned for certain of the vessels in the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture and in the Partnership’s 50-percent owned joint venture with Exmar NV (the Exmar LPG Joint Venture). These decreases were partially offset by the deliveries of two MEGI LNG carrier newbuildings between August 2016 and March 2017 and deliveries of three LPG carriers between June 2016 and March 2017 in the Exmar LPG Joint Venture. GAAP net (loss) income was also affected in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period of the prior year by various non-cash items, such as the write-down of the European Spirit conventional tanker; an increase in unrealized foreign currency exchange losses relating to the Partnership’s Euro and NOK-denominated debt; and a decrease in unrealized losses on non-designated derivative instruments.

CEO Commentary
“During the second quarter, the Partnership continued to generate stable cash flows supported by a diversified portfolio of long-term charters totaling $11.4 billion in forward fixed-rate revenues with a weighted-average remaining contract duration of 13 years,” commented Mark Kremin, President and CEO of Teekay Gas Group Ltd.

“Since reporting earnings in May 2017, we continued to execute on our portfolio of committed growth projects,” Mr. Kremin continued. “Last week, our Exmar LPG joint venture took delivery of a mid-size LPG carrier newbuilding, the Kruibeke, and during the quarter, our first joint venture LNG carrier chartered to Shell, the Pan Asia, successfully completed sea trials and is expected to deliver in the fourth quarter of 2017 at which time it will commence its 20-year charter contract. In addition, we continue to progress the financing for all our committed growth projects delivering through early-2020.”

Mr. Kremin added, “We also continue to focus on our upcoming debt maturities and I am pleased to report that, following our Awilco LNG charter contract extensions to December 2019 on two modern LNG carriers, we were able to successfully extend approximately $180 million of 2018 debt maturities to mid-2020."
Summary of Recent Events
Charter Contract Extensions and Loan Refinancings

In June 2017, the Partnership completed charter contract extensions with Awilco LNG ASA (Awilco LNG) relating to the Wilpride and Wilforce LNG carriers. The contracts, which were previously set to expire in the fourth quarter of 2017 and the second quarter of 2018, have now both been extended to December 2019. Awilco LNG remains obligated to repurchase the vessels either during or at the end of the charter period. Additionally, as part of this extension, the Partnership has agreed to defer charter hire payments of an average of $15,600 per day per vessel commencing in July 2017 through the end of the charter period, with such deferred amounts added to the purchase obligation price.

In July 2017, the Partnership completed loan extensions on the facilities secured by the Wilpride and Wilforce vessels. The loans associated with these vessels, which were previously scheduled to mature between the second quarter of 2018 and the fourth quarter of 2018 with balloon amounts totaling approximately $180 million, were both extended to June 2020 on similar terms.

Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture Secures Short-term Charter Contracts

In July 2017, the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture secured short-term charter contracts on two vessels, the Magellan Spirit and the Awra Spirit. The Magellan Spirit commenced a six-month contract (plus two three-month option periods) in July 2017 and the Awra Spirit will commence a 15-month charter contract in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Liquefied Gas Segment

Income from vessel operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, was impacted primarily by unscheduled off-hire in the second quarter of 2017 related to repairs required for an LNG carrier; and lower revenues from the Partnership's six LPG carriers on charter to I.M. Skaugen SE as a result of uncollected hire. These decreases were partially offset by the delivery of two MEGI LNG carrier newbuildings, the Oak Spirit and the Torben Spirit, which commenced their respective charter contracts ranging from 10 months to five years in duration between August 2016 and March 2017 and additional revenue recognized relating to the accelerated drydocking for two LNG carriers, the costs of which are recoverable from the charterer. Cash flow from vessel operations from consolidated vessels increased for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same quarter of the prior year as the effect of the increase in vessel deprecation from the MEGI LNG carrier newbuilding deliveries did not impact cash flow from vessel operations.

Equity (loss) income and cash flow from vessel operations from equity-accounted vessels for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, were impacted primarily by a favorable settlement in 2016 of a disputed charter contract termination related to one of the vessels in the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture, of which Teekay LNG’s share was $20.3 million; and lower spot rates earned in 2017 on certain vessels in the Exmar LPG Joint Venture and certain of the LNG carriers in the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture. These decreases were partially offset by deliveries of three LPG carriers in the Exmar LPG Joint Venture between June 2016 and March 2017. Equity (loss) income was also impacted by a greater amount of unrealized losses on designated and non-designated derivative instruments during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period of the prior year.

Conventional Tanker Segment

Income (loss) from vessel operations and cash flow from vessel operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same quarter of the prior year were impacted by the sales of the Bermuda Spirit and Hamilton Spirit in the second quarter of 2016 and the sale of the Asian Spirit in the first quarter of 2017. Income (loss) from vessel operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was also impacted by the $12.6 million write-down of the European Spirit.

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, and 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 sale 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 Company 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 footnotes (2) of the statement of (loss) income for a reconciliation of adjusted equity income to equity (loss) income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.
Distributable Cash Flow (DCF) represents GAAP net (loss) income 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, ineffectiveness for derivative instruments designated as hedges for accounting purposes, distributions relating to equity financing of newbuilding installments, 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. Distributable cash flow 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 the most directly comparable GAAP measure reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

Write-down and loss on sale of vessels for the six months ended June 30, 2016 relates to Centrofin Management Inc. exercising its purchase options, under the 12-year charter contracts, to acquire the Bermuda Spirit and Hamilton Spirit Suezmax tankers. In addition, the write-down and loss on sale of vessels also relates to the European Spirit Suezmax tanker, as the Partnership commenced marketing the vessel for sale upon receiving notification from the charterer in late-June 2017 that it will redeliver the vessel back to the Partnership in August 2017. As a result, the vessel was written down to its estimated fair value less costs to sell.

(2)
The Partnership’s proportionate share of items within equity (loss) income as identified in Appendix A of this release is detailed in the table below. By excluding these items from equity (loss) income, the Partnership believes the resulting adjusted equity income is a normalized amount that can be used to evaluate the financial performance of the Partnership’s equity-accounted investments. Adjusted equity income is a non-GAAP financial measure.

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 (Loss) Income.

Foreign currency exchange loss includes realized losses relating to the amounts the Partnership paid to settle or terminate 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 and realized gains on bond repurchases. Foreign currency exchange (loss) gain also includes unrealized gains (losses) relating to the change in fair value of such derivative instruments, partially offset by unrealized (losses) gains on the revaluation of the NOK bonds as detailed in the table below:

Unrealized foreign exchange losses (gains) primarily relate to the Partnership’s revaluation of all foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities based on the prevailing exchange rate at the end of each reporting period and unrealized (gains) losses on the cross-currency swaps economically hedging the Partnership’s NOK bonds. This amount excludes the realized losses relating to the cross-currency swaps for the NOK bonds. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income included in this release for further details.
(2)
Write-down of vessel relate to the Partnership's expected sale of the European Spirit. See note 1 to the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income included in this release for further details.
(3)
Reflects the unrealized losses due to changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income included in this release for further details.
(4)
Reflects the unrealized losses due to changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes and any ineffectiveness for derivative instruments designated as hedges for accounting purposes within the Partnership’s equity-accounted investments. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income included in this release for further details.
(5)
Items affecting net (loss) income include items from the Partnership’s consolidated non-wholly-owned subsidiaries. The specific items affecting net income are analyzed to determine whether any of the amounts originated from a consolidated non-wholly-owned subsidiary. Each amount that originates from a consolidated non-wholly-owned subsidiary is multiplied by the non-controlling interests’ percentage share in this subsidiary to arrive at the non-controlling interests’ share of the amount. The amount identified as “non-controlling interests’ share of items listed above” in the table above is the cumulative amount of the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the other specific items affecting net (loss) income listed in the table.

The Partnership’s charter contracts for two of its former Suezmax tankers, the Bermuda Spirit and Hamilton Spirit, were amended in 2012, which had the effect of reducing the daily charter rates by $12,000 per day for a duration of 24 months ended September 30, 2014. The cash effect of the change in hire rates was not fully reflected in the Partnership’s statements of (loss) income as the change in the lease payments was being recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In addition, the charterer of these two Suezmax tankers exercised its purchase options on these two vessels as permitted under the charter contracts and the vessels were redelivered during the second quarter of 2016.

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: potential shipyard and project construction delays, newbuilding specification changes or cost overruns; 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 Teekay LNG fleet; the inability of charterers to make future charter payments; the inability of the Partnership to renew or replace long-term contracts on existing vessels; the Partnership’s and the Partnership’s joint ventures’ ability to secure financing for its existing newbuildings and projects; 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, 2016.
