ITEM
2 –
|
MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
|
·
|
Our
financial results reflect the consolidation of Teekay Tangguh and
Teekay
Nakilat (III). On November 1, 2006, we entered into an
agreement with Teekay Corporation to purchase (a) its 100% interest
in
Teekay Tangguh Holdings Corporation (or Teekay Tangguh), which
owns a 70% interest in Teekay BLT Corporation (or Teekay Tangguh Joint
Venture), and (b) its 100% interest in Teekay Nakilat (III) Holdings
Corporation (or Teekay Nakilat (III)), which owns a 40% interest
in Teekay Nakilat (III) Corporation (or RasGas 3 Joint Venture).
Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture owns two LNG newbuildings and related
20-year
time charters. RasGas 3 Joint Venture owns four LNG
newbuildings and the related 25-year time charters. The purchases
will
occur upon the delivery of the first newbuildings for the respective
projects, which are scheduled for 2008 and early 2009, respectively;
however we have been required to consolidate Teekay Tangguh and Teekay
Nakilat (III) in our consolidated financial statements since November
1,
2006, as both entities are variable interest entities and we are
their
primary beneficiary. Please read Item 1 - Financial Statements:
Notes 11(e) and 11(f) – Related Party Transactions and Note 13(a) -
Commitments and Contingencies.
|
·
|
The
size of our LNG carrier and LPG carrier fleets has changed.
Our historical results of operations reflect changes in the size
and
composition of our fleet due to certain vessel deliveries. In particular,
we increased the size of our LNG carrier fleet from four LNG carriers
during the first nine months of 2006 to seven LNG carriers by February
2007. We also purchased our first LPG carrier from Teekay Corporation
in
January 2007. Please read “– Liquefied Gas Segment” below for further
details about these vessel
deliveries.
|
·
|
One
of our Suezmax tankers earns revenues based partly on spot market
rates.
The time charter for one Suezmax tanker, the Teide
Spirit, contains a component providing for additional revenues to
us
beyond the fixed hire rate when spot market rates exceed a certain
threshold amount. Accordingly, even though declining spot market
rates
will not result in our receiving less than the fixed hire rate, our
results may continue to be influenced, in part, by the variable component
of the Teide Spirit charter. Spot market rates declined in the
third quarter of 2007 and as a result, the spot market rates did
not
exceed the threshold amount during the three months ended September
30,
2007. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we earned
$1.9
million, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006,
we
earned $1.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, in additional
revenue
from this variable component.
|
·
|
As
discussed above, we have agreed to acquire from Teekay Corporation
all of
its interests in Teekay Tangguh and Teekay Nakilat (III), which hold
interests of 70% and 40%, respectively, in long-term, fixed-rate
time
charter contracts to transport six LNG carriers in connection with
these
awards. Partners in each of these LNG projects will participate in
30% and
60%, respectively, of the ownership of the related time charters
and
related vessels. Please read Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 13(a) –
Commitments and Contingencies.
|
·
|
In
December 2006, we announced that we have agreed to acquire three
LPG
carriers from I.M. Skaugen ASA (or Skaugen), for approximately
$29.3 million per vessel. The vessels are currently under construction
and
are expected to deliver between early 2008 and mid-2009. Please read
Item
1 – Financial Statements: Note 13(b) – Commitments and
Contingencies.
|
·
|
As
discussed above, in accordance with an existing agreement, Teekay
Corporation is contractually required to offer to us its 33% ownership
interest in the consortium relating to the Angola LNG Project.
Please read
Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 16 – Other
Information.

is
offset by a corresponding increase in interest income from advances
to
joint venture);
|
·
|
increases
of $1.1 million and $4.3 million, respectively, for the three and
nine
months ended September 30, 2007, relating to changes in the fair
value of
interest rate swaps not designated as
hedges;
|
·
|
increases
of $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, relating
to
debt incurred to finance the acquisition of Teekay Nakilat and the
Dania Spirit;
|
·
|
increases
of $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the three and
nine
months ended September 30, 2007, from the ineffective portion of
our
interest rate swaps designated as
hedges;
|
·
|
increases
of $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the three and
nine
months ended September 30, 2007, from rising interest rates on our
five
Suezmax tanker capital lease obligations (however, as described above,
under the terms of the time charter contracts for these vessels,
we
received corresponding increases in charter payments, which are reflected
as an increase to voyage revenues);
and
|
·
|
increases
of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the three and
nine
months ended September 30, 2007, due to the effect on our Euro-denominated
debt from the strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar
during
such period compared to the same periods last year (our Euro-denominated
revenues currently generally approximate our Euro-denominated expenses
and
Euro-denominated loan and interest
payments);
|
·
|
decreases
of $1.8 million and $5.1 million, respectively, for the three and
nine
months ended September 30, 2007, from the purchase in December
2006 of the Catalunya Spirit, which was on a capital lease prior
to such purchase, and from scheduled capital lease repayments on
the
Madrid Spirit (these LNG vessels were financed pursuant to
Spanish tax lease arrangements, under which we borrowed under term
loans
and deposited the proceeds into restricted cash accounts and entered
into
capital lease for the vessels; as a result, this decrease in interest
expense from the capital lease is offset by a corresponding decrease
in
the interest income from restricted
cash).
|
·
|
increases
of $2.9 million and $7.1 million, respectively, for the three and
nine
months ended September 30, 2007, relating to interest-bearing
advances made by us to the RasGas 3 Joint Venture for shipyard
construction installment payments;
|
·
|
increases
of $1.0 million and $6.5 million, respectively, for the three and
nine
months ended September 30, 2007, relating to additional restricted
cash
deposits for the RasGas II LNG Carriers, which were funded by
debt;
|
·
|
increases
of $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively for the three and
nine
months ended September 30, 2007, due to an increase in average cash
balances compared to the same periods last year;
and
|
·
|
increases
of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the three and
nine
months ended September 30, 2007, due to the effect on our Euro-denominated
deposits from the strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar
during
such period compared to the same period last
year;
|
·
|
decreases
of $1.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively, for the three and
nine
months ended September 30, 2007, resulting from the purchase in
December 2006 of the Catalunya Spirit, which was on a capital
lease prior to such purchase, and from scheduled capital lease repayments
on the Madrid Spirit which were funded with restricted cash
deposits.

Excludes
expected interest payments of $12.6 million (fourth quarter of 2007),
$95.2 million (2008 and 2009), $86.9 million (2010 and 2011) and
$262.4
million (beyond 2011). Expected interest payments are based on the
existing interest rates (fixed-rate loans) and LIBOR at September
30,
2007, plus margins that ranged up to 0.9% (variable-rate loans).
The
expected interest payments do not reflect the effect of related interest
rate swaps that we have used to hedge certain of our floating-rate
debt.
|
(2)
|
Includes,
in addition to lease payments, amounts we are required to pay to
purchase
certain leased vessels at the end of the lease terms. We are obligated
to
purchase five of our existing Suezmax tankers upon the termination
of the
related capital leases, which will occur at various times from mid-2008
to
2011. The purchase price will be based on the unamortized portion
of the
vessel construction financing costs for the vessels, which we expect
to
range from $37.3 million to $40.7 million per vessel. We expect to
satisfy
the purchase price by assuming the existing vessel financing. We
are also
obligated to purchase one of our existing LNG carriers upon the
termination of the related capital leases on December 31, 2011. The
purchase obligation has been fully funded with restricted cash deposits.
Please read Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 5 – Capital Lease
Obligations and Restricted Cash.
|

|
Existing
restricted cash deposits of $493.7 million, together with the interest
earned on the deposits, will be sufficient to repay the remaining
amounts
we currently owe under the lease
arrangements.

|
On
November 1, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Teekay Corporation
to
purchase its 70% interest in Teekay Tangguh and its 40% interest
in Teekay
Nakilat (III). The purchases will occur upon the delivery of the
first
newbuildings, which are scheduled for 2008 and early 2009. Please

Rate
refers to the weighted-average effective interest rate for our long-term
debt and capital lease obligations, including the margin we pay on
our
floating-rate debt and the average fixed pay rate for our interest
rate
swap agreements. The average interest rate for our capital lease
obligations is the weighted-average interest rate implicit in our
lease
obligations at the inception of the leases. The average fixed pay
rate for
our interest rate swaps excludes the margin we pay on our floating-rate
debt, which as of September 30, 2007 ranged from 0.5% to 0.9%. Please
read
Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 8 – Long-term
debt.
|
(2)
|
Interest
payments on U.S. Dollar-denominated debt and interest rate swaps
are based
on LIBOR.
|
(3)
|
Interest
payments on Euro-denominated debt and interest rate swaps are based
on
EURIBOR.

(4)
|
Euro-denominated
amounts have been converted to U.S. Dollars using the prevailing

(5)
|
Excludes
capital lease obligations (present value of minimum lease payments)
of
141.1 million Euros ($201.4 million) on one of our existing LNG carriers
with a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 5.8%. Under the terms
of
this fixed-rate lease obligation, we are required to have on deposit,
subject to a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 5.0%, an amount
of
cash that, together with the interest earned thereon, will fully
fund the
amount owing under the capital lease obligation, including a vessel
purchase obligation. As at September 30, 2007, this amount was 144.3
million Euros ($205.9 million). Consequently, we are not subject
to
interest rate risk from these obligations or
deposits.
|
(6)
|
Under
the terms of the capital leases for the RasGas II LNG Carriers (see
Item 1
– Financial Statements: Note 5 – Capital Leases and Restricted Cash), we
are required to have on deposit, subject to a variable rate of interest,
an amount of cash that, together with interest earned on the deposit,
will
equal the remaining amounts owing under the variable-rate leases.
The
deposits, which as at September 30, 2007 totaled $493.7 million,
and the
lease obligations, which as at September 30, 2007 totaled $468.7
million,
have been swapped for fixed-rate deposits and fixed-rate obligations.
Consequently, Teekay Nakilat is not subject to interest rate risk
from
these obligations and deposits and, therefore, the lease obligations,
cash
deposits and related interest rate swaps have been excluded from
the table
above. As at September 30, 2007, the contract amount, fair value
and fixed
interest rates of these interest rate swaps related to Teekay Nakilat’s
capital lease obligations and restricted cash deposits were $517.0
million
and $482.9 million, $22.6 million and ($30.5) million, and 4.9% and
4.8%
respectively.
|
(7)
|
The
amount of capital lease obligations represents the present value
of
minimum lease payments together with our purchase obligation, as
applicable.
|
(8)
|
The
average interest rate is the weighted-average interest rate implicit
in
the capital lease obligations at the inception of the
leases.
|
(9)
|
The
average variable receive rate for our U.S. Dollar-denominated interest
rate swaps is set quarterly at 3-month
LIBOR.
|
(10)
|
The
average variable receive rate for our Euro-denominated interest rate
swaps
is set monthly at 1-month EURIBOR.
