EARNINGS RELEASE
TEEKAY LNG PARTNERS
REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Highlights
 
Generated distributable cash flow of $37.6 million in the second quarter of 2011, an increase of 4 percent from the second quarter of 2010.
 
Declared second quarter 2011 cash distribution of $0.63 per unit.
 
Took delivery of first of two Multigas carriers, which commenced a 15-year fixed-rate charter.
 
Total liquidity of $551 million as at June 30, 2011, including $162 million of net proceeds from April 2011 follow-on equity offering.
Hamilton, Bermuda, August 11, 2011 — Teekay GP LLC, the general partner of Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (Teekay LNG or the Partnership) (NYSE: TGP) today reported its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. During the second quarter of 2011, the Partnership generated distributable cash flow(1) of $37.6 million, compared to $36.0 million in the same quarter of the previous year. The increase primarily reflects the incremental distributable cash flow resulting from the Partnership’s November 2010 acquisition of a 50 percent interest in two LNG carriers and the Partnership’s June 2011 acquisition of one Multigas carrier, partially offset by the sale of the Dania Spirit LPG carrier in November 2010 and increased off-hire days relating to scheduled drydockings during the second quarter of 2011.
On July 22, 2011, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.63 per unit for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The cash distribution is payable on August 12, 2011 to all unitholders of record on August 5, 2011.
“The Partnership posted another quarter of consistent results highlighting the stability of the cash flow generated by our diversified mix of long-term, fixed-rate LNG, LPG and crude oil shipping charters,” commented Peter Evensen, Chief Executive Officer of Teekay GP LLC. “In mid-June, the Partnership took delivery of the first of two Multigas newbuildings which commenced operations under a 15-year fixed-rate charter contract with Skaugen. This and other scheduled fleet additions, including the remaining LPG and Multigas carriers and 33 percent interest in four Angola LNG carriers scheduled to commence operations in the second half of 2011 and early 2012, should result in steady growth in the Partnership’s distributable cash flows over the next few quarters. The Partnership completed a $162 million common unit offering in April to fund the equity portion of these acquisitions.”
Mr. Evensen continued, “The level of project activity in the LNG sector has remained high, reflecting the strong LNG market fundamentals. With over $550 million of available liquidity, the Partnership remains well positioned financially to pursue additional projects and acquisitions.”
(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).

Future Projects
Below is a summary of LNG and LPG/Multigas newbuildings that the Partnership has agreed to acquire:
Skaugen LPG/Multigas
The Partnership has agreed to acquire one LPG carrier from a subsidiary of IM Skaugen ASA (Skaugen) and two Multigas carriers from Teekay Corporation (Teekay). The Partnership took delivery of one of the Multigas carriers on June 15, 2011 and the remaining two carriers are currently under construction and are expected to be delivered during the second half of 2011. Upon delivery, the vessels will commence service under 15-year fixed-rate charters to Skaugen.
Angola LNG
A consortium in which Teekay has a one-third interest, has agreed to charter four newbuilding LNG carriers for a period of 20 years to the Angola LNG Project, which is being developed by subsidiaries of Chevron, Sonangol, BP, Total and ENI. The vessels will be chartered at fixed rates, with inflation adjustments, following their deliveries. The vessels are currently under construction and are expected to deliver during 2011 and 2012, with the first vessel expected to deliver during the third quarter of 2011. In March 2011, the Partnership agreed to purchase Teekay’s 33 percent interest in these vessels and related charter contracts concurrent with their respective deliveries.

Financial Summary
The Partnership reported adjusted net income attributable to the partners(1) (as detailed in Appendix A to this release) of $23.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to $24.3 million for the same period of the prior year. Adjusted net income attributable to the partners excludes a number of specific items which had the net effect of decreasing net income by $26.7 million and decreasing net income by $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as detailed in Appendix A. Including these items, the Partnership reported net (loss) income attributable to the partners, on a GAAP basis, of ($3.1) million and $22.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Partnership reported adjusted net income attributable to the partners(1) (as detailed in Appendix A to this release) of $49.4 million, compared to $45.7 million for the same period of the prior year. Adjusted net income attributable to the partners excludes a number of specific items which had the net effect of decreasing net income by $27.6 million and increasing net income by $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as detailed in Appendix A. Including these items, the Partnership reported net income attributable to the partners, on a GAAP basis, of $21.9 million and $51.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
For accounting purposes, the Partnership is required to recognize the changes in the fair value of its derivative instruments on the consolidated statements of (loss) 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 (loss) income as detailed in footnote 2 of the Summary Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income.
The Partnership’s financial statements for prior periods include historical results of vessels acquired by the Partnership from Teekay, referred to herein as the Dropdown Predecessor, for the period when these vessels were owned and operated by Teekay.

(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 represents income from vessel operations before (a) depreciation and amortization expense and (b) adjusting for direct financing leases to a cash basis. However, the Partnership’s cash flow from vessel operations does not include the Partnership’s portion of cash flow from vessel operations for joint ventures accounted for by the Partnership on an equity basis. Cash flow from vessel operations is included because certain investors use this data to measure a company’s financial performance. Cash flow from vessel operations 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.
 
(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.

Liquefied Gas Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership’s Liquefied Gas segment decreased slightly to $50.2 million in the second quarter of 2011 from $51.6 million in the same quarter of the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to the sale of the Dania Spirit LPG carrier in November 2010 and increased off-hire days in the second quarter of 2011 relating to scheduled drydockings, partially offset by the acquisition of the first Multigas carrier in mid-June 2011. Cash flow from vessel operations, as reported in the above table, does not include the Partnership’s share of cash flow from vessel operations of $14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from the Partnership’s two equity-accounted joint ventures, RasGas 3 and Exmar. The RasGas 3 Joint Venture is the Partnership’s 40 percent ownership interest in Teekay Nakilat (III) Corporation, which owns four LNG carriers, and the Exmar Joint Venture is the Partnership’s 50 percent ownership interest in the joint ventures with Exmar NV which, collectively, own two LNG carriers.
Conventional Tanker Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership’s Conventional Tanker segment decreased to $12.9 million in the second quarter of 2011 from $13.8 million in the same quarter of the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to increased off-hire days in the second quarter of 2011 relating to scheduled drydockings.
Liquidity
As of June 30, 2011, the Partnership had total liquidity of $551.1 million (comprised of $74.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $476.6 million in undrawn credit facilities), compared to total liquidity of $437.6 million as of March 31, 2011. Total liquidity increased primarily as a result of the Partnership’s equity offering completed in April 2011, which provided net proceeds to the Partnership of $161.7 million.

Due to the Partnership’s agreement to acquire Teekay Corporation’s 100 percent interest in the two Skaugen Multigas Carriers, it is required to consolidate these vessels prior to the actual acquisition date under GAAP. Acquisition of one carrier occurred June 15, 2011.

Non-controlling interest includes the 30 percent portion of the RasGasII Project, 31 percent of the equity interest in the Tangguh project and 1 percent of the equity interest in both the Kenai LNG carriers and the Excalibur Joint Venture, which in each case the Partnership does not own.

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 loss adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash items, estimated maintenance capital expenditures, gains and losses on vessel sales, unrealized gains and losses from derivatives, income from variable interest entity, deferred income taxes, 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 loss.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This release contains forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) which reflect management’s current views with respect to certain future events and performance, including statements regarding: the Partnership’s future growth opportunities; level of project activity in the LNG sector; the timing of LNG and LPG/Multigas newbuilding deliveries and incremental cash flows relating to these newbuildings; the Partnership’s financial position, including available liquidity; and the ability of the Partnership to pursue additional projects and acquisitions. 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: changes in production of LNG or LPG, either generally or in particular regions; development of LNG and LPG projects; required approvals by the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors of the Partnership’s general partner to acquire any projects offered to the Partnership by Teekay Corporation; less than anticipated revenues or higher than anticipated costs or capital requirements; changes in trading patterns 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 and inability of the Partnership to renew or replace long-term contracts; LNG and LPG/Multigas project delays or shipyard production delays which would change the expected timing and cost of newbuilding vessel deliveries; the Partnership’s ability to raise financing to purchase additional vessels or to pursue other projects; changes to the amount or proportion of revenues, expenses, or debt service costs denominated in foreign currencies; and other factors discussed in Teekay LNG Partners’ filings from time to time with the SEC, including its Report on Form 20-F/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
