TEEKAY OFFSHORE PARTNERS L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, except unit and per unit data)
1. | Basis of Presentation |
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (or GAAP). These financial statements include the accounts of Teekay Offshore Partners L.P., which is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the Republic of The Marshall Islands and its wholly owned or controlled subsidiaries (collectively, the Partnership). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements have been omitted and therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnerships audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, which are included in the Partnerships Annual Report on Form 20-F. In the opinion of management of our general partner, Teekay Offshore GP L.L.C. (or the General Partner), these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Partnerships consolidated financial position, results of operations, changes in total equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year. Historically, the utilization of shuttle tankers in the North Sea is higher in the winter months and lower in the summer months, as generally there is higher maintenance in the oil fields during the summer months, which leads to lower oil production, and thus, lower shuttle tanker utilization during that period. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
2. | Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted |
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (or FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (or ASU 2014-08) which raises the threshold for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations. A discontinued operation is defined as: (1) a component of an entity or group of components that has been disposed of or classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entitys operations and financial results; or (2) an acquired business that is classified as held for sale on the acquisition date. ASU 2014-08 also requires additional disclosures regarding discontinued operations, as well as material disposals that do not meet the definition of discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in the financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The impact, if any, of adopting ASU 2014-08 on the Partnerships financial statements will depend on the occurrence and nature of disposals that occur after ASU 2014-08 is adopted.
3. | Financial Instruments |
a) | Fair Value Measurements |
For a description of how the Partnership estimates fair value and for a description of the fair value hierarchy levels, see Note 3 in the Partnerships audited consolidated financial statements filed with its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013. The following table includes the estimated fair value and carrying value of those assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis, as well as the estimated fair value of the Partnerships financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.

(1) | Income from vessel operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 excludes $3.1 million from the Voyageur Spirit FPSO relating to a production shortfall during the period January 1, 2014 through to February 21, 2014 and a further $0.4 million relating to unreimbursed vessel operating expenses. While under an interim agreement with the charterer, Teekay Corporation had indemnified the Partnership for these amounts which have effectively been treated as a reduction to the purchase price of the Voyageur Spirit (see note 7c). The unit was declared as on-hire commencing February 22, 2014. |
(2) | Includes direct general and administrative expenses and indirect general and administrative expenses (allocated to each segment based on estimated use of corporate resources). |
(3) | The towage segment has not been disaggregated as its results are not material other than a $1.0 million fee associated with the acquisition of ALP Maritime Services B.V.. This fee was recognized in general and administrative in the consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (see note 14). |

As at March 31, 2014, the Partnership had seven long-term revolving credit facilities, which, as at such date, provided for total borrowings of up to $839.5 million, of which $125.5 million was undrawn. The total amount available under the revolving credit facilities reduces by $599.1 million (remainder of 2014), $59.2 million (2015), $121.9 million (2016), $20.9 million (2017) and $38.4 million (2018). Five of the revolving credit facilities are guaranteed by the Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries for all outstanding amounts and contain covenants that require the Partnership to maintain the greater of a minimum liquidity (cash, cash equivalents and undrawn committed revolving credit lines with at least six months to maturity) of at least $75.0 million and 5.0% of the Partnerships total consolidated debt. Two revolving credit facilities are guaranteed by Teekay Corporation and contain covenants that require Teekay Corporation to maintain the greater of a minimum liquidity (cash and cash equivalents) of at least $50.0 million and 5.0% of Teekay Corporations total consolidated debt which has recourse to Teekay Corporation. The revolving credit facilities are collateralized by first-priority mortgages granted on 24 of the Partnerships vessels, together with other related security.
In January 2014, the Partnership issued NOK 1,000 million in senior unsecured bonds that mature in January 2019 in the Norwegian bond market. As of March 31, 2014, the carrying amount of the bonds was $167.0 million. The interest payments on the bonds are based on NIBOR plus a margin of 4.25%. The Partnership entered into a cross currency swap to swap all interest and principal payments into USD, with the interest payments fixed at a rate of 6.28%, and the transfer of the principal amount fixed at $162.2 million upon maturity in exchange for NOK 1,000 million (see note 8). The Partnership is applying to list the bonds on the Oslo Stock Exchange.
In January 2013, the Partnership issued in the Norwegian bond market NOK 1,300 million in senior unsecured bonds. The bonds were issued in two tranches maturing in January 2016 (NOK 500 million) and January 2018 (NOK 800 million). As at March 31, 2014, the carrying amount of the bonds was $217.1 million. The bonds are listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Interest payments on the tranche maturing in 2016 are based on NIBOR plus a margin of 4.00%. Interest payments on the tranche maturing in 2018 are based on NIBOR plus a margin of 4.75%. The Partnership entered into cross currency rate swaps to swap all interest and principal payments into USD, with interest payments fixed at a rate of 4.80% on the tranche maturing in 2016 and 5.93% on the tranche maturing in 2018 and the transfer of the principal amount fixed at $89.7 million upon maturity in exchange for NOK 500 million on the tranche maturing in 2016 and fixed at $143.5 million upon maturity in exchange for NOK 800 million on the tranche maturing in 2018 (see note 8). As part of this bond issuance, the Partnership repurchased at a premium NOK 388.5 million of a then outstanding NOK 600 million bond set to mature in November 2013. In connection with this repurchase of bonds, the Partnership terminated a similar notional amount of the related cross currency swap (see note 8). The Partnership recorded a loss in relation to this repurchase of $1.8 million in its consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
The Partnership has NOK 600 million of senior unsecured bonds that mature in January 2017 in the Norwegian bond market. As at March 31, 2014, the carrying amount of the bonds was $100.2 million. The bonds are listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The interest payments on the bonds are based on NIBOR plus a margin of 5.75%. The Partnership entered into a cross currency rate swap to swap all interest and principal payments into USD, with the interest payments fixed at a rate of 7.49%, and the transfer of the principal amount fixed at $101.4 million upon maturity in exchange for NOK 600 million (see note 8).

TEEKAY OFFSHORE PARTNERS L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, except unit and per unit data)
As at March 31, 2014, six of the Partnerships 50% owned subsidiaries each had an outstanding term loan, which in the aggregate totaled $183.5 million. The term loans reduce over time with quarterly and semi-annual payments and have varying maturities through 2018. These term loans are collateralized by first-priority mortgages on the six shuttle tankers to which the loans relate, together with other related security. As at March 31, 2014, the Partnership had guaranteed $52.9 million of these term loans, which represents its 50% share of the outstanding term loans of five of these 50% owned subsidiaries. The other owner and Teekay Corporation have guaranteed $91.8 million and $38.8 million, respectively, of the outstanding term loans.
As at March 31, 2014, the Partnership had term loans outstanding for the shuttle tankers the Amundsen Spirit, the Nansen Spirit, the Peary Spirit, the Scott Spirit, the Samba Spirit and the Lambada Spirit and for the Rio das Ostras, the Piranema Spirit and the Voyageur Spirit FPSO units, which in aggregate totaled $922.9 million. For the term loan for the Amundsen Spirit and the Nansen Spirit, one tranche reduces in semi-annual payments while the other tranche correspondingly is drawn up every six months with final bullet payments of $29.0 million due in 2022 and $29.1 million due in 2023, respectively. The Peary Spirit, the Scott Spirit, the Samba Spirit, the Lambada Spirit, the Rio das Ostras, the Piranema Spirit and the Voyageur Spirit term loans reduce over time with quarterly or semi-annual payments. These term loans have varying maturities through 2023 and are collateralized by first-priority mortgages on the vessels to which the loans relate, together with other related security. As at March 31, 2014, the Partnership had guaranteed $531.5 million of these term loans and Teekay Corporation had guaranteed $391.4 million.
As at March 31, 2014, the Partnership had outstanding $174.2 million of ten-year senior unsecured bonds that mature in December 2023 and were issued in the second half of 2013 in a U.S. private placement market to finance the Bossa Nova Spirit and the Sertanejo Spirit shuttle tankers. The bonds accrue interest at a fixed combined rate of 4.96%. The bonds are collateralized by first-priority mortgages on the two vessels to which the bonds relate, together with other related security.
Interest payments on the revolving credit facilities and the term loans are based on LIBOR plus a margin. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the margins ranged between 0.3% and 3.25%. The weighted-average effective interest rate on the Partnerships variable rate long-term debt as at March 31, 2014 was 2.9% (December 31, 20132.7%). This rate does not include the effect of the Partnerships interest rate swaps (see note 8).
The aggregate annual long-term debt principal repayments required to be made subsequent to March 31, 2014 are $768.0 million (remainder of 2014), $149.8 million (2015), $285.4 million (2016), $345.5 million (2017), $350.5 million (2018), and $579.7 million (thereafter).
The Partnership and a subsidiary of Teekay Corporation are borrowers under a loan arrangement and are jointly and severally liable for the obligations to the lender. The obligations resulting from long-term debt joint and several liability arrangements are measured at the sum of the amount the Partnership agreed to pay, on the basis of its arrangement with the co-obligor, and any additional amount the Partnership expects to pay on behalf of the co-obligor. As of March 31, 2014, this loan arrangement had an outstanding balance of $81.5 million, of which $46.5 million was the Partnerships obligation. The Partnership does not expect to pay any amount on behalf of the co-obligor.
Obligations under the Partnerships credit facilities are secured by certain vessels, and if the Partnership is unable to repay debt under the credit facilities, the lenders could seek to foreclose on those assets. The Partnership has one revolving credit facility that requires it to maintain a vessel value to drawn principal balance ratio of a minimum of 105%. As at March 31, 2014, this ratio was 143.0%. The vessel value used in this ratio is the appraised value prepared by the Partnership based on second hand sale and purchase market data. A further delay in the recovery of the conventional tanker market could negatively affect this ratio.
As at March 31, 2014, the Partnership and Teekay Corporation were in compliance with all covenants related to the credit facilities and long-term debt.
6. | Restructuring Charge |
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Partnership incurred $0.6 million of restructuring charges related to the reflagging of one shuttle tanker which commenced in January 2014 and was completed in March 2014.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Partnership recognized restructuring charges of $nil and $0.7 million, respectively, relating to the reorganization of the Partnerships shuttle tanker marine operations which commenced in December 2012 and was completed in June 2013. The purpose of the restructuring was to create better alignment with the Partnerships marine operations resulting in a lower cost organization going forward.
As of March 31, 2014, restructuring liabilities of $0.9 million were recorded in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
7. | Related Party Transactions and Balances |
a) | During the three months ended March 31, 2014, two conventional tankers, two shuttle tankers and two FSO units of the Partnership were employed on long-term time-charter-out contracts with subsidiaries of Teekay Corporation. During the first quarter of 2014, the long-term bareboat contracts employed by two conventional tankers of the Partnership with a joint venture in which Teekay Corporation has a 50% interest were novated under the same terms to a subsidiary of Teekay Corporation. The excess of the contractual rates over the market rates at the time of the novation, was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and is accounted for as an equity contribution from Teekay Corporation. During the first quarter of 2013, the long-term time-charter-out contract employed by one of the Partnerships conventional tankers with a subsidiary of Teekay Corporation was terminated. The Partnership received an early termination fee from Teekay Corporation of $6.8 million in the first quarter of 2013, which is recorded in discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Teekay Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries provide substantially all of the Partnerships commercial, technical, crew training, strategic, business development and administrative service |

Due to and from affiliates are non-interest bearing and unsecured, and are expected to be settled within the next fiscal year in the normal course of operations. |
c) | On May 2, 2013, the Partnership acquired from Teekay Corporation its 100% interest in Voyageur LLC, which owns the Voyageur Spirit FPSO unit, which operates on the Huntington Field in the North Sea under a five-year contract, plus up to 10 one-year extension options, with E.ON Ruhrgas UK GP Limited (or E.ON), for an original purchase price of $540.0 million. The purchase price was financed with the assumption of the $230.0 million debt facility secured by the unit, $270.0 million with cash (of which a partial prepayment of $150.0 million was made to Teekay Corporation in February 2013) and the non-cash issuance of 1.4 million common units to Teekay Corporation, which had a value of $40.0 million at the time Teekay Corporation offered to sell the unit to the Partnership. |
On April 13, 2013, the Voyageur Spirit FPSO unit began production and on May 2, 2013, the Partnership acquired the unit from Teekay Corporation. Upon commencing production, the Partnership and its sponsor, Teekay Corporation, had a specified time period to receive final acceptance from the charterer, at which point the unit would commence full operations under the contract with E.ON. However, due to a defect encountered in one of its two gas compressors, the FPSO unit was unable to achieve final acceptance within the allowable timeframe, resulting in the FPSO unit being declared off-hire by the charterer retroactive to April 13, 2013.
On August 27, 2013, repairs to the defective gas compressor on the Voyageur Spirit FPSO were completed and the unit achieved full production capacity. On September 30, 2013, the Partnership entered into an interim agreement with E.ON whereby the Partnership was compensated for production beginning August 27, 2013 until the receipt of final acceptance by E.ON. Compensation was based on actual production relative to the operating capacity of the FPSO unit; however, any restrictions on production as a result of the charterer were included in this compensation. For the period from April 13, 2013 to December 31, 2013, Teekay Corporation has indemnified the Partnership a total of $34.9 million for production shortfalls and unreimbursed repair costs. For the first quarter of 2014, Teekay Corporation indemnified the Partnership for a further $3.1 million and $0.4 million for production shortfalls and unrecovered repair costs to address the compressor issues, respectively. On April 4, 2014, the Partnership received the certificate of final acceptance from the charterer, which declared the unit on-hire retroactive to February 22, 2014.
Any amounts paid as indemnification from Teekay Corporation to the Partnership were effectively treated as a reduction in the purchase price paid by the Partnership for the FPSO unit. Any future compensation received by the Partnership from the charterer related to the indemnification period will reduce the amount of Teekay Corporations indemnification to the Partnership. As at March 31, 2014, the $540.0 million original purchase price of the Voyageur Spirit FPSO unit has effectively been reduced to $505.8 million ($275.8 million net of assumed debt of $230.0 million) to reflect a total $38.4 million indemnification amount from the date of first oil on April 13, 2013, partially offset by the excess value of $4.3 million relating to the 1.4 million common units issued to Teekay Corporation on the date of closing of the transaction in May 2013 compared to the date Teekay Corporation offered to sell the unit to the Partnership. The excess of the purchase price (net of assumed debt) over the book value of the net assets of $201.8 million has been accounted for as an equity distribution to Teekay Corporation of $74.1 million.

The Partnership enters into cross currency swaps and pursuant to these swaps the Partnership receives the principal amount in Norwegian Kroner (or NOK) on the maturity date of the swap, in exchange for payment of a fixed U.S. Dollar amount. In addition, the cross currency swaps exchange a receipt of floating interest in NOK based on NIBOR plus a margin for a payment of U.S. Dollar fixed interest. The purpose of the cross currency swaps is to economically hedge the foreign currency exposure on the payment of interest and principal at maturity of the Partnerships Norwegian Kroner Bonds due through 2019. In addition, the cross currency swaps due from 2016 through 2019 economically hedge the interest rate exposure on the Norwegian Kroner Bonds due in 2016 through 2019. The Partnership has not designated, for accounting purposes, these cross currency swaps as cash flow hedges of its Norwegian Kroner Bonds due through 2019.

10. | Commitments and Contingencies |
a) | On November 13, 2006, one of the Partnerships shuttle tankers, the Navion Hispania, collided with the Njord Bravo, an FSO unit, while preparing to load an oil cargo from the Njord Bravo. The Njord Bravo services the Njord field, which is operated by Statoil Petroleum AS (or Statoil) and is located off the Norwegian coast. At the time of the incident, Statoil was chartering the Navion Hispania from the Partnership. The Navion Hispania and the Njord Bravo both incurred damage as a result of the collision. In November 2007, Navion Offshore Loading AS (or NOL) and Teekay Navion Offshore Loading Pte Ltd. (or TNOL), subsidiaries of the Partnership, and Teekay Shipping Norway AS (or TSN), a subsidiary of Teekay Corporation, were named as co-defendants in a legal action filed by Norwegian Hull |

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, except unit and per unit data)
Club (the hull and machinery insurers of the Njord Bravo), several other insurance underwriters and various licensees in the Njord field. The Plaintiffs sought damages for vessel repairs, expenses for a replacement vessel and other amounts related to production stoppage on the field, totaling NOK 213,000,000 (approximately $35.6 million). |
In December 2011, the Stavanger District Court ruling in the first instance found that NOL was liable for damages except for damages related to certain indirect or consequential losses. The court also found that Statoil ASA was liable to NOL for the same amount of damages to NOL. As a result of this ruling, as at December 31, 2012, the Partnership reported a liability in the total amount of NOK 76,000,000 (approximately $12.7 million) to the Plaintiffs and a corresponding receivable from Statoil ASA recorded in other long-term liabilities and other assets, respectively.
The Plaintiffs appealed the decision and the appellate court in June 2013 held that NOL, TNOL and TSN are jointly and severally responsible towards the Plaintiffs for all the losses as a result of the collision, plus interests accrued on the amount of damages. In addition, Statoil ASA was held not to be under an obligation to indemnify NOL, TNOL and TSN for the losses. NOL, TNOL and TSN were also held liable for legal costs associated with court proceedings. As a result of this recent judgment, in the second quarter of 2013, the Partnership recognized a liability in the amount of NOK 213,000,000 in respect of damages, NOK 66,000,000 in respect of interest and NOK 11,000,000 in respect of legal costs, totaling NOK 290,000,000 (approximately $48.4 million), to the Plaintiffs recorded in accrued liabilities. The receivable from Statoil ASA previously recorded in other assets was reversed in the second quarter of 2013. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Partnership recognized an additional liability of NOK 4,000,000 in respect of interest, bringing the total liability to NOK 294,000,000 (approximately $49.1 million). The judgment rendered deals with liability only and the ultimate amount of damages may be reduced compared to the NOK 213,000,000 claimed by the Plaintiffs.
The Partnership and Teekay Corporation maintain protection and indemnity insurance for damages to the Navion Hispania and insurance for collision-related costs and claims. These insurance policies are expected to cover the costs related to this incident, including any costs not indemnified by Statoil, and thus a receivable of NOK 294,000,000 (approximately $49.1 million) was concurrently recorded in accounts receivable, which equals the total cost of the claim. In addition, Teekay Corporation has agreed to indemnify the Partnership for any losses it may incur in connection with this incident.
In the fourth quarter of 2013, the insurer made payments directly to the Plaintiffs in full settlement of interest and partial settlement of legal costs and thus the Partnership, as at December 31, 2013, reduced its liability and related receivable to NOK 213,000,000 in respect of damages and approximately NOK 3,400,000 in respect of legal costs, totaling approximately NOK 216,400,000 (approximately $36.1 million). No further payments were made in the first quarter of 2014.
b) | During 2010, an unrelated party contributed the Randgrid shuttle tanker to a subsidiary of the Partnership for a 33% equity interest in the subsidiary. The non-controlling interest owner in the subsidiary holds a put option which, if exercised, would obligate the Partnership to purchase the non-controlling interest owners 33% share in the entity for cash in accordance with a defined formula. The redeemable non-controlling interest is subject to remeasurement if the formulaic redemption amount exceeds the carrying value. No remeasurement was required as at March 31, 2014. |
c) | In May 2013, the Partnership entered into an agreement with Statoil, on behalf of the field license partners, to provide an FSO unit for the Gina Krog oil and gas field located in the North Sea. The contract will be serviced by a new FSO unit that will be converted from the 1995-built shuttle tanker, the Randgrid, which the Partnership currently owns through a 67% owned subsidiary and will acquire full ownership of the vessel prior to its conversion. The FSO conversion project is expected to cost approximately $277 million, including amounts reimbursable upon delivery of the unit relating to installation and mobilization, and the cost of acquiring the remaining 33% ownership interest in the Randgrid shuttle tanker. As at March 31, 2014, payments made towards this commitment totaled $15.6 million. Following scheduled completion in early-2017, the newly converted FSO unit will commence operations under a three-year time-charter contract to Statoil, which includes 12 additional one-year extension options. |
d) | In May 2013, the Partnership entered into a ten-year charter contract, plus extension options, with Salamander Energy plc (or Salamander) to supply a FSO unit in Asia. The Partnership is converting its 1993-built shuttle tanker, the Navion Clipper, into an FSO unit for an estimated fully built-up cost of approximately $70 million (including reimbursable installation costs). As at March 31, 2014, payments made towards this commitment totaled $30.5 million. The unit is expected to commence its charter contract with Salamander in the third quarter of 2014. |
11. | Total Capital and Net Income Per Common Unit |
At March 31, 2014, a total of 72.1% of the Partnerships common units outstanding were held by the public. The remaining common units, as well as the 2% general partner interest, were held by a subsidiary of Teekay Corporation. All of the Partnerships Series A Preferred Units (defined below) outstanding are held by the public.
In 2013, the Partnership implemented a continuous offering program (or COP) under which the Partnership may issue new common units, representing limited partner interests, at market prices up to a maximum aggregate amount of $100 million.
Net Income Per Common Unit
Limited partners interest in net income per common unit basic is determined by dividing net income, after deducting the non-controlling interests and the General Partners interest and the distributions on the Series A Preferred Units (defined below), by the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period. The accumulated distributions on the preferred units for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $2.7 million.
Page 14 of 33
TEEKAY OFFSHORE PARTNERS L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, except unit and per unit data)
The computation of limited partners interest in net income per common unit diluted assumes the exercise of all dilutive restricted units using the treasury stock method. The computation of limited partners interest in net income per common unit diluted does not assume such exercises as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
The General Partners and common unitholders interests in net income are calculated as if all net income was distributed according to the terms of the Partnerships partnership agreement, regardless of whether those earnings would or could be distributed. The partnership agreement does not provide for the distribution of net income; rather, it provides for the distribution of available cash, which is a contractually defined term that generally means all cash on hand at the end of each quarter less the amount of cash reserves established by the Partnerships board of directors to provide for the proper conduct of the Partnerships business, including reserves for maintenance and replacement capital expenditure and anticipated capital requirements and any accumulated distributions on the Series A Preferred Units (defined below). Unlike available cash, net income is affected by non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments and unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses.
The Partnership allocates the limited partners interest in net income, including both distributed and undistributed net income, between continuing operations and discontinued operations based on the proportion of net income (loss) from continuing and discontinued operations to total net income.
During the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, cash distributions exceeded $0.4025 per common unit and, consequently, the assumed distributions of net income resulted in the use of the increasing percentages to calculate the General Partners interest in net income for the purposes of the net income per common unit calculation. For more information on the increasing percentages to calculate the General Partners interest in net income, please refer to the Partnerships Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Pursuant to the partnership agreement, allocations to partners are made on a quarterly basis.
Preferred Units
Pursuant to the partnership agreement, distributions on the Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (or Series A Preferred Units) to preferred unitholders are cumulative from the date of original issue and are payable quarterly in arrears, when, as and if declared by the board of directors of the General Partner. At any time on or after April 30, 2018, the Series A Preferred Units may be redeemed by the Partnership at a redemption price of $25.00 per unit plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid distributions to the date of redemption. These units are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
12. | Unit Based Compensation |
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, a total of 9,482 common units, with an aggregate value of $0.3 million, were granted and issued to the non-management directors of the General Partner as part of their annual compensation for 2014.
The Partnership grants restricted unit awards as incentive-based compensation to certain employees of Teekay Corporations subsidiaries that provide services to the Partnership. During March 2014 and 2013, the Partnership granted 68,153 and 63,309 restricted units, respectively, with a fair value of $2.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively, based on the Partnerships closing unit price on the grant date. Each restricted unit is equal in value to one of the Partnerships common units plus reinvested distributions from the grant date to the vesting date. The restricted units vest equally over three years from the grant date. Any portion of a restricted unit award that is not vested on the date of a recipients termination of service is cancelled, unless their termination arises as a result of the recipients retirement and, in this case, the restricted unit awarded will continue to vest in according with the vesting schedule. Upon vesting, the value of the restricted units is paid to each grantee in the form of common units or cash. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, a total of 50,075 restricted stock units with a fair value of $1.6 million vested and the amount paid to the grantees was made by issuing 6,584 common units and by paying $0.1 million in cash. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, a total of 6,742 restricted stock units with a fair value of $0.2 million vested. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Partnership recorded unit based compensation expense of $1.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in general and administrative expenses in the Partnerships consolidated statements of income. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, liabilities relating to cash settled restricted unit awards of $1.0 million and $nil, respectively, were recorded in accrued liabilities on the Partnerships consolidated balance sheets.
13. | Discontinued Operations |
The operations of the Leyte Spirit, the Poul Spirit and the Gotland Spirit prior to being considered discontinued operations, were reported within the conventional tanker segment. The Leyte Spirit, which was written down in 2012, was sold in the first quarter of 2013. In the first and second quarters of 2013, the Poul Spirit and the Gotland Spirit, respectively, were written down to their estimated fair values in conjunction with the termination of their long-term time-charter-out contracts with a subsidiary of Teekay Corporation. The Partnership received an early termination fee of $6.8 million relating to the Poul Spirit from Teekay Corporation in the first quarter of 2013, which is recorded in discontinued operations. The Poul Spirit was further written down upon sale in the second quarter of 2013 and a gain was recognized upon the sale of the Gotland Spirit in the third quarter of 2013. The estimated fair value for each of the three vessels was determined using appraised values. The following table summarizes the net loss from discontinued operations related to these three vessels for the period presented in the consolidated statements of income:

14. | Acquisition of ALP Maritime Services B.V. |
On March 14, 2014, the Partnership acquired 100% of the shares of ALP Maritime Services B.V. (or ALP), a Netherlands-based provider of long-haul ocean towage and offshore installation services to the global offshore oil and gas industry. Concurrently with this transaction, the Partnership and ALP entered into an agreement with Niigata Shipbuilding & Repair of Japan for the construction of four state-of-the-art SX-157 Ulstein Design ultra-long distance towing and anchor handling vessel newbuildings. These vessels will be equipped with dynamic positioning capability and are scheduled for delivery in 2016. The Partnership is committed to acquire these newbuildings for a total cost of approximately $258 million. As at March 31, 2014, payments made towards these commitments totaled $46.4 million and the remaining payments required to be made under these newbuilding contracts are $16.0 million (balance of 2014), $73.1 million (2015) and $122.5 million (2016). The Partnership intends to continue financing the newbuilding installments through its existing liquidity and expects to secure long-term debt financing for these vessels prior to their scheduled deliveries in 2016.
The Partnership acquired ALP for a purchase price of $2.6 million, which was paid in cash, and also entered into an arrangement to pay additional compensation to three former shareholders of ALP if certain requirements are satisfied. This contingent compensation consists of $2.4 million, which is payable upon the delivery and employment of ALPs four newbuildings scheduled throughout 2016, and a further amount of up to $2.6 million, which is payable if ALPs annual operating results from 2017 to 2021 meet certain targets. The Partnership has the option to pay up to one half of this compensation through the issuance of common units of the Partnership. Each of the contingent compensation amounts are payable only if the three shareholders are employed by ALP at the time performance conditions are met. Compensation costs will be recorded under general and administrative expenses in the Partnerships consolidated statements of income. The Partnership also incurred a $1.0 million fee associated with the acquisition which has been recognized in general and administrative expenses in March 2014.
This acquisition of ALP and related newbuilding order represents the Partnerships entrance into the long-haul ocean towage and offshore installation services business. This acquisition allows the Partnership to combine its infrastructure and access to capital with ALPs experienced management team to further grow this niche business that is in an adjacent sector to the Partnerships FPSO and shuttle tanker businesses. The acquisition of ALP was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, based upon preliminary estimates of fair value.
The following table summarizes the preliminary estimates of fair values of the ALP assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Partnership on the acquisition date.

PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
We are an international provider of marine transportation, oil production and storage services to the offshore oil industry focusing on the fast-growing, deep-water offshore oil regions of the North Sea and Brazil. We were formed in August 2006 by Teekay Corporation, a leading provider of marine services to the global oil and natural gas industries, to further develop its operations in the offshore market. We operate shuttle tankers, floating production, storage and off-loading (or FPSO) units, floating storage and off-take (or FSO) units, conventional crude oil tankers and towage tankers. Our current fleet consists of 35 shuttle tankers (including two chartered-in vessels and one HiLoad Dynamic Positioning (or DP) unit scheduled to complete operational testing in the second quarter of 2014), five FPSO units, six FSO units (including one committed FSO conversion unit), four long-haul towing and anchor handling vessel newbuildings scheduled for delivery in 2016 and four conventional oil tankers, in which our interests range from 50% to 100%.
SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS
Acquisition of Logitel
In May 2014, we entered into a letter of intent to acquire Logitel Offshore Holdings Ltd. (or Logitel), a Norway-based company focused on the high-end floating accommodation market. Logitel owns two floating accommodation units (or FAUs), which are based on the Sevan Marine ASA (or Sevan) cylindrical hull design, currently under construction at the COSCO (Nantong) Shipyard (or COSCO) in China, and has options with COSCO to order up to an additional six FAUs. The first committed FAU has secured a three-year, fixed-rate charter contract, plus extension options, with Petrobras Brasileiro SA (or Petrobras) in Brazil and is scheduled for delivery in early-2015. We expect to enter into a charter contract for the second FAU prior to its scheduled delivery in late-2015. The agreement with COSCO for the committed FAUs includes a payment schedule favorable to us, in which the majority of the purchase price is due upon delivery. We intend to finance the Logitel acquisition and the initial newbuilding payments through our existing liquidity and expect to secure long-term debt financing for the units prior to their scheduled deliveries. We expect the proposed acquisition to be finalized in the third quarter of 2014.
Acquisition of ALP and Newbuilding Order
In March 2014, we acquired ALP Maritime Services B.V. (or ALP), a Netherlands-based provider of long-haul ocean towage and offshore installation services to the global offshore oil and gas industry. ALP currently provides these services through a fleet of third-party owned vessels. As part of the transaction, we and ALP entered into an agreement with Niigata Shipbuilding & Repair of Japan for the construction of four state-of-the-art SX-157 Ulstein Design ultra-long distance towing and anchor handling vessel newbuildings, which will be equipped with dynamic positioning capability, for a fully built-up cost of approximately $261 million, which includes the cost of acquiring ALP. These newbuildings will be capable of ultra-long distance towing and offshore unit installation and decommissioning of large floating exploration, production and storage units, including FPSO units, floating liquefied natural gas (or FLNG) units and floating drill rigs. We intend to continue financing the newbuilding installments through our existing liquidity and expect to secure long-term debt financing for these vessels prior to their scheduled deliveries in 2016.
We acquired ALP for a purchase price of $2.6 million, which we paid in cash and we also entered into an arrangement to pay additional compensation to three former shareholders of ALP if certain requirements are satisfied. This contingent compensation consists of $2.4 million, which is payable upon the delivery and employment of ALPs four newbuildings scheduled throughout 2016, and a further amount of up to $2.6 million, which is payable if ALPs annual operating results from 2017 to 2021 meet certain targets. We have the option to pay up to one half of this contingent compensation through the issuance of our common units. The contingent compensation amounts are payable only if the three shareholders are employed by ALP at the time the performance conditions are met. We also incurred a $1.0 million fee associated with the acquisition which has been recognized in general and administrative expenses in March 2014.
This acquisition of ALP and related newbuilding order represents our entrance into the long-haul ocean towage and offshore installation services business, which combines our infrastructure and access to capital with ALPs experienced management team to further grow this niche business that is a natural complement to our existing offshore business.
Shuttle Contracts
In December 2013, we were awarded a six-year shuttle tanker contract of affreightment, with extension options up to an additional four years, with BG Group plc, which will service the Knarr oil and gas field in the North Sea. The expected start date for the shuttle tanker contract of affreightment coincides with the expected start-up of the Petrojarl Knarr FPSO in the North Sea in the fourth quarter of 2014.
In September 2013, we acquired a 2010-built HiLoad DP unit from Remora AS (or Remora), a Norway-based offshore marine technology company, for a total purchase price of approximately $55 million, including modification costs. The HiLoad DP unit is currently undergoing operational testing, which is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2014. Upon completion of the testing, the unit is expected to commence operations under a ten-year time-charter contract with Petrobras in Brazil. Under the terms of an agreement between Remora and us, we have a right of first refusal to acquire any future HiLoad DP projects developed by Remora. In July 2013, Remora was awarded a contract by BG E&P Brasil Ltd. to perform a front end engineering and design study to develop the next generation of HiLoad DP units. The design, which is based on the main parameters of the first generation design, is expected to include new features, such as increased engine power and the capability to maneuver vessels larger than Suezmax conventional tankers.

Voyageur Spirit FPSO Acquistion
On August 27, 2013, repairs to the defective gas compressor on the Voyageur Spirit FPSO unit were completed and the unit achieved full production capacity. Since that time, we have been receiving full rate under the charter contract as though the unit was producing at full capacity either directly from the charterer or through the indemnification arrangement with Teekay Corporation. On April 4, 2014, we received the certificate of final acceptance from the charterer, which declared the unit on-hire retroactive to February 22, 2014.
Up to February 22, 2014, we have been indemnified by Teekay Corporation for certain lost revenues and certain unrecovered vessel operating expenses relating to the full operation of the Voyageur Spirit FPSO. Any indemnification amounts from Teekay Corporation to us have been effectively treated as a reduction in the purchase price paid by us to Teekay Corporation for the Voyageur Spirit FPSO. During the first quarter of 2014, our indemnification effectively resulted in a $3.5 million reduction in the purchase price of the Voyageur Spirit FPSO. For the period from the date of first oil on April 13, 2013 to receipt of the certificate of final acceptance from E.ON Ruhrgas UK GP Limited (or E.ON) on February 22, 2014, Teekay Corporation indemnified us for a total $38.4 million relating to the Voyageur Spirit FPSO.
FSO Contracts
In May 2014, we entered into a ten-year contract extension with Apache Energy for the Dampier Spirit FSO unit, which operates on the Stag oil field offshore Western Australia. As part of the extension, the FSO unit is expected to enter into drydock for a total cost of approximately $11 million for capital upgrades during the second quarter of 2014. Under the new contract, the unit is expected to earn approximately $5.7 million in annual cash flow from vessel operations.
In May 2013, we entered into an agreement with Statoil Petroleum AS (or Statoil), on behalf of the field license partners, to provide an FSO unit for the Gina Krog oil and gas field located in the North Sea. The contract will be serviced by a new FSO unit that will be converted from the 1995-built shuttle tanker, Randgrid, which we currently own through a 67%-owned subsidiary. The FSO conversion project is expected to be completed for a gross capital cost of approximately $277 million, including amounts reimbursable upon delivery of the unit relating to installation and mobilization, and the cost of acquiring the remaining 33% ownership interest in the Randgrid shuttle tanker. Following scheduled completion in early-2017, the newly converted FSO unit will commence operations under a three-year time-charter contract to Statoil, which also includes 12 additional one-year extension options.
In May 2013, we entered into a ten-year charter contract, plus extension options, with Salamander Energy plc (or Salamander) to supply an FSO unit in Asia. We are converting our 1993-built shuttle tanker, the Navion Clipper, into an FSO unit for an estimated fully built-up cost of approximately $70 million (including reimbursable installation costs). The unit is expected to commence its charter contract with Salamander in the third quarter of 2014.
Bond Issuance
In January 2014, we issued in the Norwegian bond market NOK 1,000 million in senior unsecured bonds, maturing in January 2019. The aggregate principal amount of the bonds was equivalent to $162.2 million and all interest and principal payments have been swapped into U.S. dollars at a fixed rate of 6.28%. The net proceeds from the bond offering were used for general partnership purposes. We are applying to list the bonds on the Oslo Stock Exchange.
Potential Additional Shuttle Tanker, FSO and FPSO Projects
Pursuant to an omnibus agreement that we entered into in connection with our initial public offering in December 2006, Teekay Corporation is obligated to offer to us its interest in certain shuttle tankers, FSO units and FPSO units Teekay Corporation owns or may acquire in the future, provided the vessels are servicing contracts with remaining durations of greater than three years. We may also acquire other vessels that Teekay Corporation may offer us from time to time and we intend to pursue direct acquisitions from third parties and new offshore projects.
Pursuant to the omnibus agreement and subsequent agreements, Teekay Corporation is obligated to offer to sell to us the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit, an existing unit owned by Teekay Corporation and operating under a long-term contract in the North Sea, subject to approvals required from the charterer. The purchase price for the Petrojarl Foinaven would be based on fair market value.
In May 2011, Teekay Corporation entered into a joint venture agreement with Odebrecht Oil & Gas S.A. (a member of the Odebrecht group) (or Odebrecht) to jointly pursue FPSO projects in Brazil. Odebrecht is a well-established Brazil-based company that operates in the engineering and construction, petrochemical, bioenergy, energy, oil and gas, real estate and environmental engineering sectors, with over 120,000 employees and a presence in over 20 countries. Through the joint venture agreement, Odebrecht became a 50 percent partner in the Cidade de Itajai (or Itajai) FPSO project and Teekay Corporation is currently working with Odebrecht on other FPSO project opportunities that, if awarded, may result in offers to us to acquire Teekay Corporations interests in such projects, pursuant to the omnibus agreement.
In June 2011, Teekay Corporation entered into a contract with BG Norge Limited to provide a harsh weather FPSO unit to operate in the North Sea. The contract will be serviced by a newbuilding FPSO unit, the Petrojarl Knarr, which is being constructed by Samsung Heavy Industries for a fully built-up cost of approximately $1 billion. Pursuant to the omnibus agreement, Teekay Corporation is obligated to offer to us its interest in the Petrojarl Knarr FPSO project at Teekay Corporations fully built-up cost within a year after the commencement of the charter, which commencement is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Teekay Corporation owns three additional FPSO units, the Hummingbird Spirit FPSO, the Petrojarl Banff FPSO and the Petrojarl 1 FPSO, which may also be offered to us in the future pursuant to the omnibus agreement.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
There are a number of factors that should be considered when evaluating our historical financial performance and assessing our future prospects and we use a variety of financial and operational terms and concepts when analyzing our results of operations. These can be found in Part I, Item 5 Operating and Financial Review and Prospects in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013. In accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (or GAAP), we report gross revenues in our income statements and include voyage expenses among our operating expenses. However, shipowners often base economic decisions regarding the deployment of their vessels upon anticipated time charter equivalent (or TCE) rates, and industry analysts typically measure bulk shipping freight rates in terms of TCE rates. This is because under time charters and bareboat charters the customer usually pays the voyage expenses while under voyage charters and contracts of affreightment the shipowner usually pays the voyage expenses, which typically are added to the hire rate at an approximate cost. Accordingly, the discussion of revenue below focuses on net revenues (i.e. revenues less voyage expenses) and TCE rates of our four reportable segments where applicable. TCE rates represent net revenues divided by revenue days. Please read Item 1 Financial Statements: Note 4 Segment Reporting.
We manage our business and analyze and report our results of operations on the basis of four business segments: the shuttle tanker segment, the FPSO segment, the FSO segment, and the conventional tanker segment, each of which are discussed below. We have a new business segment, the towage segment, as a result of our acquisition of ALP in March 2014; however, given that ALPs results for the period were not significant, other than the $1.0 million acquisition fee, the segment is not separately discussed below in this report.
Shuttle Tanker Segment
As at March 31, 2014, our shuttle tanker fleet consisted of 33 vessels that operate under fixed-rate contracts of affreightment, time charters and bareboat charters, one shuttle tanker in lay-up as a conversion candidate and the Hiload DP unit, which is scheduled to complete operational testing late in the second quarter of 2014. Of these 35 shuttle tankers, six were owned through 50% owned subsidiaries, three through a 67% owned subsidiary and two were chartered-in. The remaining vessels are owned 100% by us. All of these shuttle tankers, with the exception of the HiLoad DP unit, provide transportation services to energy companies, primarily in the North Sea and Brazil. Our shuttle tankers service the conventional spot tanker market from time to time. One of these shuttle tankers, the Randgrid, is committed to a conversion into an FSO unit upon the expiry of its existing shuttle tanker charter contract in 2015.
The following table presents our shuttle tanker segments operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and compares its net revenues (which is a non-GAAP financial measure) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 to revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the same periods. The following table also provides a summary of the changes in calendar-ship-days by owned and chartered-in vessels for our shuttle tanker segment:

(1) | Includes direct general and administrative expenses and indirect general and administrative expenses (allocated to the shuttle tanker segment based on estimated use of corporate resources). See the discussion under Other Operating Results below. |
The average size of our owned shuttle tanker fleet increased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the delivery of the four newbuilding shuttle tankers (or the BG Shuttle Tankers) to us during 2013, partially offset by the sale of the Basker Spirit in January 2013, and the in-progress conversion of the Navion Clipper to an FSO unit. Included in calendar-ship-days is one owned shuttle tanker that has been in lay-up since May 2012 following its redelivery to us upon maturity of its time-charter-out contract in April 2012.
The average size of our chartered-in shuttle tanker fleet decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the redelivery of the Karen Knutsen in January 2014 and the Grena in November 2013.
Net Revenues. Net revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from the same period last year, primarily due to:
| an increase of $19.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to the commencement of the ten-year time-charter contracts of the four BG Shuttle Tankers during 2013 and early 2014; |
| an increase of $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to more opportunities to trade excess shuttle tanker capacity in the conventional tanker spot market; |
Page 20 of 33
| an increase of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to an increase in revenues in our bareboat fleet from an increase in rates as provided in certain contracts; and |
| an increase of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to an increase in reimbursable bunker expenses; |
partially offset by
| a net decrease of $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to fewer revenue days from the redelivery of three vessels to us in July 2013, January 2014 and February 2014, as they completed their time-charter-out agreements, partially offset by an increase in revenues in our contract of affreightment fleet, an increase in revenues in our time-chartered-out fleet from entering into new contracts and an increase in rates as provided in certain contracts; |
| a decrease of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to fewer opportunities to trade excess shuttle tanker capacity in short-term offshore projects; and |
| a decrease of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to more repair off-hire days in our time-chartered-out fleet compared to the same period last year. |
Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to:
| an increase of $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to the commencement of the charter contracts for the four BG Shuttle Tankers during 2013 and the first quarter of 2014; |
| an increase of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to an increase in costs related to services, spares and repairs; and |
| an increase of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to an increase in crew training expenses; |
partially offset by
| a decrease of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to a decrease in ship management fees in our contract of affreightment and time-charter fleet associated with the reorganization of our onshore marine operations that occurred in 2013; |
| a decrease of $0.9 million in crew and manning costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to the timing of bonus payments; and |
| a decrease of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, relating to the lay-up of one of our shuttle tankers, the Navion Clipper, since February 2013, which is currently being converted to an FSO unit. |
Time-Charter Hire Expense. Time-charter hire expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to:
| a decrease of $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to the redelivery of the Karen Knutsen in January 2014 and the Grena in November 2013; |
partially offset by
| an increase of $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to increased spot in-chartering. |
Restructuring Charges. Restructuring charges were $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, resulting from the reflagging of one of our shuttle tankers. Restructuring charges were $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, resulting from a reorganization of marine operations to create better alignment within the shuttle tanker business unit to create a reduced-cost organization going forward.
FPSO Segment
As at March 31, 2014, our FPSO fleet consisted of the Petrojarl Varg, the Cidade de Rio das Ostras (or Rio das Ostras), the Piranema Spirit and the Voyageur Spirit FPSO units, all of which we own 100%, and a 50% interest in the Itajai FPSO unit. We acquired the Voyageur Spirit FPSO unit and our interest in the Itajai FPSO unit from Teekay Corporation in May 2013 and June 2013, respectively. We use the FPSO units to provide production, processing and storage services to oil companies operating offshore oil field installations. These services are typically provided under long-term, fixed-rate FPSO contracts, some of which also include certain incentive compensation based on the level of oil production and other operational measures. Historically, the utilization of FPSO units and other vessels in the North Sea, where the Petrojarl Varg and Voyageur Spirit operate, is higher in the winter months, as favorable weather conditions in the summer months provide opportunities for repairs and maintenance to our vessels and the offshore oil platforms, which generally reduces oil production.
The following table presents our FPSO segments operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and also provides a summary of the calendar-ship-days for our FPSO segment. The table excludes the results of the Itajai FPSO unit, which is accounted for under the equity method.

(1) | Includes direct general and administrative expenses and indirect general and administrative expenses (allocated to the FPSO segment based on estimated use of corporate resources). See the discussion under Other Operating Results below. |
Revenues. Revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to:
| an increase of $27.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, relating to the acquisition of the Voyageur Spirit FPSO unit; |
partially offset by
| a decrease of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against the Norwegian Kroner compared to the same period last year; and |
| a decrease of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to the Rio das Ostras earning only a 95% standby rate while it was being relocated to a new oil field in the first quarter of 2014. |
Teekay Corporation has indemnified us for lost revenue from the Voyageur Spirit being off-hire since the unit began operations on April 13, 2013. Please see Item 1 Financial Statements: Note 7(c). The indemnification amount was $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This has been recorded in equity as an adjustment to the purchase price we paid for the FPSO unit.
Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from the same period last year, primarily due to:
| an increase of $13.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to the acquisition of the Voyageur Spirit FPSO unit; and |
| an increase of $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to higher crew and manning costs mainly relating to the Petrojarl Varg due to higher crew salaries; |
partially offset by
| a decrease of $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against the Norwegian Kroner compared to the same period last year; |
| a decrease of $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to lower maintenance costs relating to the Piranema Spirit and Petrojarl Varg compared to the same period last year; and |
| a decrease of $0.7 million and for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to lower ship management costs relating to the Petrojarl Varg, Rio das Ostras and Piranema Spirit. |
Teekay Corporation has indemnified us for vessel operating costs associated with unrecovered repair costs from the Voyageur Spirit since the unit began operations on April 13, 2013. The indemnification amount was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This has been recorded in equity as an adjustment to the purchase price we paid for the FPSO unit.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from the same period last year, primarily due to the acquisition of the Voyageur Spirit FPSO unit during the second quarter of 2013.
FSO Segment
As at March 31, 2014, our FSO fleet consisted of five units that operate under fixed-rate time charters or fixed-rate bareboat charters, in which our ownership interests range from 89% to 100%, and one shuttle tanker, the Navion Clipper, which is currently being converted into an FSO unit, in which we have 100% interest. We have committed one shuttle tanker, the Randgrid, to conversion into an FSO unit upon the expiry of its existing shuttle tanker charter contract in 2015. FSO units provide an on-site storage solution to oil field installations that have no oil storage facilities or that require supplemental storage. Our revenues and vessel operating expenses for the FSO segment are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, as a significant component of revenues are earned and vessel operating expenses are incurred in Norwegian Kroner and Australian Dollars for certain vessels. The strengthening or weakening of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Norwegian Kroner and Australian Dollar may result in significant decreases or increases, respectively, in our revenues and vessel operating expenses.

The average number of our FSO units for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased compared to the same period last year due to the commencement of the conversion of the Navion Clipper shuttle tanker to an FSO unit in April 2013.
Net Revenues. Net revenues decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to:
| a decrease of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to the timing of vessel operating expense reimbursements on the Dampier Spirit and the appreciation of the U.S. Dollar against the Australian Dollar compared to the same period last year; and |
| a decrease of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to a recovery of expenses in 2013 relating to the 2012 drydocking of the Navion Saga and the appreciation of the U.S. Dollar against the Norwegian Kroner compared to the same period last year. |
Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to:
| a decrease of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, relating to expenditures on engineering studies completed to support our FSO tenders in the first quarter of 2013; and |
| a decrease of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, relating to lower crew costs and the timing of services, spares and insurance for the Dampier Spirit primarily due to the appreciation of the U.S Dollar against the Australian Dollar compared to the same period last year. |
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from the same period last year primarily due to an extension of the useful lives of the Pattani Spirit and the Apollo Spirit due to the extension in the charter period for these units.

Conventional Tanker Segment
As at March 31, 2014, we owned 100% interests in two Aframax conventional crude oil tankers (which operate under fixed-rate time charters with Teekay Corporation), and two vessels (that have additional equipment for lightering) which operate under fixed-rate bareboat charters with a 100% owned subsidiary of Teekay Corporation.
The 2013 results in the table below excludes three additional conventional tankers as they were determined to be discontinued operations. During the first quarter of 2013, we sold a vessel and we terminated the long-term time-charter-out contract employed by one of our conventional tankers with a subsidiary of Teekay Corporation, which was sold in the second quarter of 2013. A third conventional tanker on contract to Teekay Corporation was sold in the third quarter of 2013. We received an early termination fee from Teekay Corporation of $6.8 million in the first quarter of 2013, which is recorded in discontinued operations.
The following table presents our conventional tanker segments operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and compares its net revenues (which is a non-GAAP financial measure) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 to revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the same periods.

Net Revenues. Net revenues decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from the same period last year, primarily due to lower reimbursed bunkers.
Other Operating Results
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $14.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $10.4 million for the same period last year, mainly due to the acquisition of the Voyageur Spirit FPSO unit during the second quarter of 2013, a $1.0 million fee relating to the acquisition of ALP Maritime Services B.V., the delivery of the four BG Shuttle Tankers during 2013, and an increase in restricted unit awards, partially offset by cost savings due to the reorganization of marine operations within our shuttle tanker business unit completed in 2013.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $18.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $11.6 million for the same period last year, primarily due to:
| an increase of $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to borrowings under new debt facilities relating to the Voyageur Spirit FPSO and the four BG Shuttle Tankers that delivered during the last three quarters of 2013; and |
| a net increase of $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily from the issuance of NOK 1,000 million senior unsecured bonds in January 2014, partially offset by the repurchase of NOK 388.5 million of the NOK 600 million senior unsecured bond issue during the first quarter of 2013 and the remaining NOK 211.5 million bonds that matured in November 2013; |
partially offset by
| a decrease of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to lower balances on all other borrowings compared to the same period last year. |
Realized and Unrealized Losses on Derivatives. Net realized and unrealized losses on derivatives were $36.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $1.1 million for the same period last year.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we had interest rate swap agreements with aggregate average outstanding notional amounts of approximately $1.7 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, with average fixed rates of approximately 3.6% and 4.3%, respectively. Short-term variable benchmark interest rates during these periods were generally 0.8% or less and, as such, we incurred realized losses of $14.1 million and $14.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, under the interest rate swap agreements.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we recognized unrealized losses on our interest rate swaps of $24.1 million and unrealized gains of $15.0 million, respectively. The unrealized losses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 resulted from $38.2 million of unrealized losses relating to decreases in long-term LIBOR benchmark interest rates relative to the prior quarter, offset by the transfer of $14.1 million of previously recognized unrealized losses to realized losses, related to actual cash settlements. The unrealized gains for the three months ended March 31, 2013 resulted from the transfer of $14.6 million of previously unrecognized losses to realized losses, related to actual cash settlements, and an additional $0.4 million of unrealized gains relating to increases in long-term LIBOR benchmark interest rates relative to the prior quarter.
Equity Income. Equity income was $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 relating to the Itajai FPSO unit in which we acquired a 50 percent interest from Teekay Corporation in June 2013.
Foreign Currency Exchange Losses. Foreign currency exchange losses were $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $3.6 million for the same period last year. Our foreign currency exchange losses, substantially all of which are unrealized, are due primarily to the relevant period-end revaluation of Norwegian Kroner-denominated monetary assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the realized and unrealized gains and losses on our cross currency swaps. Gains on Norwegian Kroner-denominated monetary liabilities reflect a stronger U.S. Dollar against the Norwegian Kroner on the date of revaluation or settlement compared to the rate in effect at the beginning of the period. Losses on Norwegian Kroner-denominated monetary liabilities reflect a weaker U.S. Dollar against the Norwegian Kroner on the date of revaluation or settlement compared to the rate in effect at the beginning of the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, foreign currency exchange losses include realized gains of $nil (2013gains of $0.7 million) and unrealized gains of $7.6 million (2013losses of $25.5 million) on the cross currency swaps and unrealized losses of $9.1 million (2013gains of $24.0 million) on the revaluation of the Norwegian Kroner denominated debt. There were additional realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (2013loss of $3.1 million) on all other monetary assets and liabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we repurchased NOK 388.5 million of the then outstanding NOK 600 million senior unsecured bond issue that matured in November 2013. Associated with this, we recorded $6.6 million of realized losses on the repurchased bonds, and recorded $6.8 million of realized gains on the termination of the associated cross currency swap.
Page 24 of 33
Loss on Bond Repurchase. Loss on bond repurchase was $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The loss represents a 2.5% premium paid for the repurchase of NOK 388.5 million of the then outstanding NOK 600 million senior unsecured bond issue that matured in November 2013.
Income Tax (Expense) Recovery. Income tax expense was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to a $0.2 million recovery for the same period last year. The increase to income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to the non-deductibility of certain intercompany interest expense in our Norwegian entities commencing in 2014 due to a change in tax laws, and tax adjustments relating to the Rio das Ostras Brazilian entity during the first quarters of 2014 and 2013.
Net Loss from Discontinued Operations. Net loss from discontinued operations was $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 related to our sales of the Leyte Spirit, the Poul Spirit and the Gotland Spirit during the first, second and third quarters of 2013, respectively.
If these vessels described above were not classified as discontinued operations, the results of the operations of these vessels would have been reported within the conventional tanker segment.
During the first quarter of 2013, we terminated the long-term time-charter-out contract employed by the Poul Spirit with a subsidiary of Teekay Corporation. We received an early termination fee from Teekay Corporation of $6.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. In addition, we recorded a write-down of $11.2 million on the Poul Spirit during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity and Cash Needs
Our business model is to employ our vessels on fixed-rate contracts with major oil companies, typically with original terms between three to ten years. The operating cash flow our vessels generate each quarter, excluding a reserve for maintenance capital expenditures, is generally paid out to our common unitholders within approximately 45 days after the end of each quarter. Our primary short-term liquidity needs are to pay quarterly distributions on our outstanding common and Series A preferred units, payment of operating expenses, dry docking expenditures, debt service costs and to fund general working capital requirements. We anticipate that our primary sources of funds for our short-term liquidity needs will be cash flows from operations. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and undrawn long-term borrowings, in addition to all other sources of cash including cash from operations, will be sufficient to meet our existing liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months.
Our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to expansion and maintenance capital expenditures and debt repayment. Expansion capital expenditures primarily represent the purchase or construction of vessels to the extent the expenditures increase the operating capacity or revenue generated by our fleet, while maintenance capital expenditures primarily consist of dry docking expenditures and expenditures to replace vessels in order to maintain the operating capacity or revenue generated by our fleet. Our primary sources of funds for our long-term liquidity needs are from cash from operations, long-term bank borrowings and other debt or equity financings, or a combination thereof. Consequently, our ability to continue to expand the size of our fleet is dependent upon our ability to obtain long-term bank borrowings and other debt, as well as raising equity.
Our revolving credit facilities and term loans are described in Item 1 Financial Statements: Note 5 Long-Term Debt. They contain covenants and other restrictions typical of debt financing secured by vessels that restrict the ship-owning subsidiaries from incurring or guaranteeing indebtedness; changing ownership or structure, including mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions; making dividends or distributions if we are in default; making capital expenditures in excess of specified levels; making certain negative pledges and granting certain liens; selling, transferring, assigning or conveying assets; making certain loans and investments; or entering into a new line of business. Certain of our revolving credit facilities and term loans include financial covenants. Should we not meet these financial covenants, the lender may accelerate the repayment of the revolving credit facilities and term loans, thus having an impact on our short-term liquidity requirements. We have one revolving credit facility that requires us to maintain a vessel value to drawn principal balance ratio of a minimum of 105%. As at March 31, 2014, this ratio was 143%. The vessel value used in this ratio is the appraised value prepared by us based on second hand sale and purchase market data. A further delay in the recovery of the conventional tanker market could negatively affect this ratio. As at March 31, 2014, we and our affiliates were in compliance with all covenants relating to the revolving credit facilities and term loans.
As at March 31, 2014, our total cash and cash equivalents were $223.0 million, compared to $219.1 million at December 31, 2013. Our total liquidity, including cash, cash equivalents and undrawn long-term borrowings, was $348.5 million as at March 31, 2014, compared to $331.0 million as at December 31, 2013. The increase in liquidity was primarily due to the proceeds from the issuance in January 2014 of NOK 1,000 million senior unsecured bonds, partially offset by: our acquisition in March 2014 of 100% of the shares of ALP Maritime Services B.V. and the first installment on the four ALP towage vessels; a reduction in the amount available for borrowing under our revolving credit facilities; and the scheduled repayment or prepayment of outstanding term loans.
As at March 31, 2014, we had a working capital deficit of $615.9 million, compared to a working capital deficit of $720.6 million at December 31, 2013. As at March 31, 2014, the working capital deficit included $170.2 million of term loans, $569.8 million of revolving credit facilities, $54.3 million of interest rate swap liabilities and $80.2 million due to affiliates. The current portion of long-term debt decreased mainly due to the refinancing of a term facility during the three months ended March 31, 2014. In October 2014, we have $410.4 million of balloon payments due on two revolving credit facilities. Both of these revolving credit facilities bear interest at rates that are considered below market rates relative to the current market levels and, as such, we intend to refinance these balloon payments by entering into a new credit facility closer to the date of their maturities. In September 2014, we have a $15.7 million balloon payment due on one of our revolving credit facilities, which we intend on refinancing with a new loan facility closer to the date this facility comes due. Our due to affiliates balance decreased mainly due to repayments made during the first quarter of 2014. We expect to manage our working capital deficit primarily with net operating cash flow generated in 2014 and, to a lesser extent, with new and existing undrawn revolving credit facilities and term loans.

The passage of any climate control legislation or other regulatory initiatives that restrict emissions of greenhouse gases could have a significant financial and operational impact on our business, which we cannot predict with certainty at this time. Such regulatory measures could increase our costs related to operating and maintaining our vessels and require us to install new emission controls, acquire allowances or pay taxes related to our greenhouse gas emissions, or administer and manage a greenhouse gas emissions program. In addition, increased regulation of greenhouse gases may, in the long term, lead to reduced demand for oil and reduced demand for our services.
Cash Flows. The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for the periods presented:

51,953 | 78,957 | ||||||
Net cash flow used for investing activities |
(67,661 | ) | (158,842 | ) |
Operating Cash Flows.
Net cash flow from operating activities decreased to $19.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $46.3 million for the same period in 2013 due primarily to a $31.7 million decrease in changes in non-cash working capital items, a $10.8 million increase in vessel operating expenses, a $9.9 million decrease in income from discontinued operations, a $7.0 million increase in net interest expense, a $4.5 million increase in general and administrative expenses, a $4.2 million increase in dry-docking expenditures, a $1.7 million increase in net deferred mobilization costs and a $1.4 million increase in current income taxes, partially offset by a $36.4 million increase in net revenue, a $3.4 million decrease in time charter hire expense, a $3.0 million increase of realized foreign currency exchange gains and other items and a $1.8 million decrease in loss on bond repurchase expenses.
The $31.7 million decrease in non-cash working capital items for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period last year is primarily due to the timing of settlements with related parties, partially offset by the timing of payments made to vendors and the timing of payments received from customers.
For a further discussion of changes in income statement items described above for our four reportable segments, please read Results of Operations.
Financing Cash Flows.
We use our revolving credit facilities to finance capital expenditures and for general partnership purposes. Occasionally we will do this until longer-term financing is obtained, at which time we typically use all or a portion of the proceeds from the longer-term financings to prepay outstanding amounts under the revolving credit facilities. Our proceeds from long-term debt, net of debt issuance costs and prepayments of long-term debt were $136.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and $139.5 million for the same period in 2013.
Net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2014, mainly due to the proceeds from the issuance of NOK 1,300 million unsecured bonds issued during the three months ended March 31, 2013, (of which a portion was used to repurchase NOK 388.5 million of existing bonds, to repay existing revolving credit facility debt and for general partnership purposes), partially offset by the proceeds from the issuance of NOK 1,000 million unsecured bonds issued during three months ended March 31, 2014, which were used for general partnership purposes.
We actively manage the maturity profile of our outstanding financing arrangements. Our scheduled repayments of long-term debt increased to $38.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $23.0 million for the same period in 2013.
Cash distributions paid by our subsidiaries to non-controlling interests during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 totaled $3.6 million and $nil, respectively. Cash distributions paid by us to our common unitholders and our general partner, with respect to our common units, and our Series A preferred unitholders during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $53.6 million and $44.2 million, respectively. The increase in distributions to our common and preferred unitholders was attributed to: two increases in our cash distribution to common unitholders, one commencing with the cash distributions paid in the second quarter of 2013 and the other commencing with the cash distribution paid in the first quarter of 2014, of $0.0128 per unit and $0.0131 per unit, respectively, or approximately 2.5% each; an increase in the number of common units resulting from the 5.5 million (including our general partners 2% proportionate capital contribution) common units issued during 2013; and the issuance of 6.0 million Series A preferred units in 2013. The increase in the 2013 cash distribution coincided with our acquisition of the Voyageur Spirit FPSO unit. The increase in the 2014 cash distribution coincided with the completion of deliveries of the four BG Shuttle Tankers. Subsequent to March 31, 2014, cash distributions of $50.9 million on our outstanding common units and general partner interest related to the three months ended March 31, 2014 were declared and paid on May 9, 2014. Subsequent to March 31, 2014, cash distributions for Series A preferred units relating to the first quarter of 2014 were declared and paid on May 15, 2014 and totaled $2.7 million.
Investing Cash Flows.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, net cash flow used for investing activities was $67.7 million, primarily relating to the expenditures for vessels and equipment (including the first installment of $46.2 million on the four newbuilding ALP towage vessels and $20.6 million on various other vessel additions) and the $2.3 million acquisition of 100% of the shares of ALP, partially offset by the scheduled lease payments of $1.4 million received from the leasing of our volatile organic compound emissions equipment and direct financing lease assets.
Page 26 of 33
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, net cash flow used for investing activities was $158.8 million, primarily relating to: a partial prepayment of $150.0 million to Teekay Corporation in connection with the acquisition of the Voyageur Spirit FPSO unit, which we received interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 4.25% on the prepaid funds to Teekay Corporation until we acquired the FPSO unit on May 2, 2013; expenditures for vessels and equipment, including an installment payment of $11.2 million on one of the four newbuilding BG Shuttle Tankers; and $12.6 million on various other vessel additions; partially offset by $13.3 million in proceeds from the sale of the Basker Spirit and the Leyte Spirit, both in the first quarter of 2013, and the scheduled lease payments of $1.7 million received from the leasing of our volatile organic compound emissions equipment and direct financing lease assets.

The expected interest payments do not reflect the effect of related interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps that we have used as an economic hedge of certain of our variable rate debt. |
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which require us to make estimates in the application of our accounting policies based on our best assumptions, judgments and opinions. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates and such differences could be material. Accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in this section of our Annual Report on Form 20-F are those that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements, because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties. For a description of our material accounting policies, please read Part I, Item 5 Operating and Financial Review and Prospects in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013. As at March 31, 2014, there were no significant changes to accounting estimates or assumptions from those discussed in the Form 20-F.
At March 31, 2014, the shuttle tanker and towage segments had goodwill attributable to them. Based on conditions that existed at March 31, 2014, we do not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that the goodwill attributable to these reporting units might be impaired for the remainder of the year. However, certain factors that impact this assessment are inherently difficult to forecast and, as such, we cannot provide any assurance that an impairment will or will not occur in the future. An assessment for impairment involves a number of assumptions and estimates that are based on factors that are beyond our control. These are discussed in more detail in the following section entitled Forward-Looking Statements.

PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 3QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our floating-rate borrowings that require us to make interest payments based on LIBOR or NIBOR. Significant increases in interest rates could adversely affect operating margins, results of operations and our ability to service our debt. From time to time, we use interest rate swaps to reduce our exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates. The principal objective of these contracts is to minimize the risks and costs associated with our floating-rate debt.
We are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements. In order to minimize counterparty risk, we only enter into derivative transactions with counterparties that are rated A- or better by Standard & Poors or A3 or better by Moodys at the time of the transactions. In addition, to the extent possible and practical, interest rate swaps are entered into with different counterparties to reduce concentration risk.
The tables below provide information about financial instruments as at March 31, 2014 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For long-term debt, the table presents principal payments and related weighted-average interest rates by expected contractual maturity dates. For interest rate swaps, the table presents notional amounts and weighted-average interest rates by expected contractual maturity dates.

(4) | The average variable receive rate for interest rate swaps is set quarterly at the 3-month LIBOR or semi-annually at the 6-month LIBOR. |
Foreign Currency Fluctuation Risk
Our functional currency is U.S. dollars because virtually all of our revenues and most of our operating costs are in U.S. Dollars. We incur certain vessel operating expenses and general and administrative expenses in foreign currencies, the most significant of which is the Norwegian Kroner and, to a lesser extent, Australian Dollars, Brazilian Reals, British Pounds, Euros and Singapore Dollars. There is a risk that currency fluctuations will have a negative effect on the value of cash flows.
We may continue to seek to hedge certain of our currency fluctuation risks in the future. At March 31, 2014, we were committed to the following foreign currency forward contracts:
