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), which
owns a 40% interest in the RasGas 3 Joint Venture. Teekay Tangguh Joint
Venture owns two LNG newbuildings (or the Tangguh LNG Carriers)
and related 20-year time charters. RasGas 3 Joint Venture owns
four LNG newbuildings (or the RasGas 3 LNG Carriers)
and the related 25-year time charters. The purchases occur upon the
delivery of the first newbuildings for the respective projects, which has
occurred for the RasGas 3 Joint Venture and which is scheduled for
November 2008 for the Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture. 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 10(f) and 10(g) – Related Party
Transactions and Note 12(a) - Commitments and
Contingencies.
|
·
|
The size of
our fleet will change. Our historical results of operations reflect
changes in the size and composition of our fleet due to certain vessel
deliveries. Please read “– Liquefied Gas Segment” below for further
details about future 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.
|
·
|
Our vessel
operating costs are facing industry-wide cost
pressures. The shipping industry is experiencing a
global manpower shortage due to significant growth in the world fleet.
This shortage has resulted in crewing wage inflation during 2007 and this
trend may continue into 2008.
|
·
|
As
discussed above, we have agreed to acquire from Teekay Corporation its 70%
interest in the Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture and have acquired, subsequent
to March 31, 2008, its 40% interest in the RasGas3 Joint Venture. The
three remaining RasGas 3 LNG Carriers are expected to deliver during the
end of the second quarter and third quarter of 2008. Please read Item 1 –
Financial Statements: Note 12(a) – Commitments and
Contingencies.
|
·
|
We
have agreed to acquire the three LPG carriers (or the Skaugen LNG 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 late 2008 and mid-2009.
Please read Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 12(b) – Commitments and
Contingencies.
|
·
|
We
have agreed to acquire two Multigas carriers (or the Skaugen Multigas
Carriers) from Teekay Corporation for a total cost of approximately
$94 million. The vessels are expected to deliver during the
first and second quarter of 2010. Please read item 1 –
Financial Statements: Note 16(e) – Subsequent
Events.
|
·
|
As
discussed above, Teekay Corporation is required to offer to us its 33%
ownership interest in the consortium relating to the Angola LNG Project
not later than 180 days before delivery of the four newbuilding LNG
carriers. Please read Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 15 – Other
Information.

·
|
a
relative decrease of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31,
2008, relating to revenues earned by the Teide
Spirit;
|
·
|
an
increase of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, due to
inflation and interest-rate adjustments to the daily charter rates under
the time charter contracts for five Suezmax tankers (however, under the
terms of these capital leases, we had a corresponding increase in our
lease payments, which is reflected as an increase to interest expense;
therefore, these and future interest rate adjustments do not and will not
affect our cash flow or net
income).
|
·
|
an
increase of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, due to

relating to changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps not
designated as hedges and from the ineffective portion of our interest rate
swaps designated as hedges;
|
·
|
an
increase of $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008,
relating to debt of Teekay Nakilat (III) used by the RasGas 3 Joint
Venture to fund shipyard construction installment payments (this increase
in interest expense from debt is offset by a corresponding increase in
interest income from advances to joint venture – see
below);
|

increase of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, 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 period

the delivery of the RasGas II LNG
Carriers;

·
|
a
decrease of $1.3 million relating to the repayment of debt incurred to
finance the acquisition of Teekay Nakilat and the Dania Spirit;
and
|
·
|
a
decrease of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, 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).
|

|
(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 4 – Leases and Restricted
Cash.

Existing
restricted cash deposits of $489.8 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

Venture owns two LNG newbuildings. The purchase will occur upon the
delivery of the first newbuilding scheduled for November 2008. Please read

U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate as of March 31, 2008. The expected interest

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 March 31, 2008 ranged from 0.3% to 0.9%. Please read
Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 7 – Long-term

|
Excludes
capital lease obligations (present value of minimum lease payments) of
121.6 million Euros ($191.7 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 March 31, 2008, this amount was 124.4 million
Euros ($196.0 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 4 – 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 March 31, 2008 totaled $489.8 million, and the lease
