Hamilton, Bermuda, February 19, 2015 – Teekay Offshore GP LLC, the general partner of Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. (Teekay Offshore or the Partnership) (NYSE:TOO), today reported the Partnership’s results for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Partnership generated distributable cash flow(1) of $50.0 million, compared to $57.4 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in distributable cash flow was primarily due to the expiration of time-charter contracts since the fourth quarter of 2013 relating to three existing shuttle tankers and an increase in interest expense primarily related to the issuance of NOK 1,000 million and $300.0 million of senior unsecured bonds in January 2014 and May 2014, respectively. These factors were partially offset by the delivery of two BG Shuttle Tanker newbuildings in November 2013 and January 2014, an increase in charter rates on the Cidade de Rio das Ostras and the Piranema Spirit FPSO units and the delivery of the Suksan Salamander FSO unit in August 2014.
On January 2, 2015, a cash distribution of $0.5384 per common unit was declared for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. The cash distribution was paid on February 13, 2015 to all unitholders of record on January 15, 2015.
“Since reporting our third quarter results in November, we have continued to secure new growth in the Partnership’s Offshore Production business which will underpin future increases in our distributable cash flows,” commented Peter Evensen, Teekay Offshore GP LLC’s Chief Executive Officer. “In December, we entered into an agreement to provide an FPSO for the Atlanta field located offshore Brazil and acquired the Petrojarl I FPSO from Teekay Corporation, which will be upgraded prior to the commencement of the charter contract in the first half of 2016. Also in December, the Partnership’s Board of Directors approved the acquisition of the Petrojarl Knarr FPSO from Teekay Corporation, subject to the unit achieving first oil, which is expected to commence its charter contract during the first quarter of 2015. As previously communicated, we remain committed to increasing the Partnership’s cash distribution soon after the Petrojarl Knarr has been acquired.”
“Despite the recent headwinds in the global energy markets, the Partnership’s diversified portfolio of medium-term fixed-rate contracts with strong counterparties continues to generate a stable stream of cash flows which are not linked to global oil prices,” Mr. Evensen continued. “Teekay Offshore’s business activities are almost exclusively focused on the more stable production related elements of the offshore oil supply chain and our assets are critical to our customers’ ability to generate revenue. Although the recent volatility in global oil prices may result in the near-term delay of certain new projects, the long-term fundamentals in the deep water offshore energy sector remain strong. With over $3.6 billion of committed capital projects delivering over the next three years, Teekay Offshore is well-positioned for near-term growth.”

Summary of Recent Events
Awarded New FPSO Contract for the Petrojarl I FPSO
In December 2014, Teekay Offshore entered into an agreement with a consortium led by Queiroz Galvão Exploração e Produção SA (QGEP) to provide a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit for the Atlanta field located in the Santos Basin offshore Brazil. In connection with the QGEP contract, the Partnership acquired the Petrojarl I FPSO unit from Teekay Corporation for $57 million and the unit is currently undergoing upgrades at the Damen Shipyard Group’s DSR Schiedam Shipyard in the Netherlands for a fully built-up cost of approximately $235 million, including the cost of acquiring the Petrojarl I. The unit is scheduled to commence operations in the first half of 2016 under a five-year fixed-rate charter contract with QGEP. The FPSO will be used as an early production system unit on the Atlanta field which is located 185 kilometers offshore from the Brazil coast at a water depth of approximately 1,550 meters and contains an estimated 260 million recoverable barrels of oil equivalent.
Libra FPSO Project
In January 2015, Teekay Offshore, through its 50/50 joint venture with Odebrecht Oil & Gas S.A (Odebrecht), finalized the contract with Petroleo Brasileiro SA (Petrobras) to provide an FPSO unit for the Libra field located in the Santos Basin offshore Brazil. The contract will be serviced by a new FPSO unit converted from the Partnership’s 1995-built shuttle tanker, the Navion Norvegia. The conversion project is currently underway at Sembcorp Marine’s Jurong Shipyard in Singapore and is scheduled to commence operations in early-2017 under a 12-year firm period fixed-rate contract with Petrobras and its international partners. The FPSO conversion is expected to be completed for a total fully built-up cost of approximately $1 billion.
Acquisition of Towage Vessels
In late-October 2014, Teekay Offshore, through its wholly-owned subsidiary ALP Maritime Services B.V. (ALP), agreed to acquire six modern on-the-water long-distance towing and anchor handling vessels for approximately $220 million. The vessels were built between 2006 and 2010 and are all equipped with dynamic positioning (DP) capabilities. The Partnership expects to take delivery of the six vessels during the first half of 2015. Including these vessels and ALP’s four state-of-the-art long-distance towing and anchor handling newbuildings scheduled to deliver in 2016, ALP will become the world’s largest owner and operator of DP towing and anchor handling vessels. All ten vessels will be capable of long-distance towing and offshore unit installation and decommissioning of large floating exploration, production and storage units, including FPSO units, floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) units and floating drill rigs.

Other Future Growth Opportunities
Pursuant to an omnibus agreement that the Partnership entered into in connection with its initial public offering in December 2006, Teekay Corporation is obligated to offer to the Partnership its interests in certain shuttle tankers, FSO units and FPSO units that Teekay Corporation owns or may acquire in the future, provided the vessels are servicing contracts with remaining durations of greater than three years. The Partnership may also acquire other vessels that Teekay Corporation may offer it from time to time and also intends to pursue direct acquisitions from third parties and new organic offshore projects.
Offshore Production
FPSO Units
In June 2011, Teekay Corporation entered into a contract with BG Norge Limited (BG) 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 (Knarr), which arrived in Norway in mid-September 2014 following delivery from the shipyard. Following field installation and testing, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2015, the unit will commence its ten-year time-charter contract with BG. In December 2014, the Partnership’s Board of Directors approved the acquisition of the Knarr FPSO unit from Teekay Corporation, subject to the unit achieving first oil and commencing its charter contract. The purchase price for the Knarr, which is based on a fully built-up cost of approximately $1.2 billion, is expected to be financed through the assumption of an existing $815 million long-term debt facility and up to $400 million of short-term vendor financing from Teekay Corporation. The Partnership expects to complete the acquisition of the Knarr and commence its charter with BG during the first quarter of 2015.
Pursuant to the omnibus agreement and subsequent agreements, Teekay Corporation is obligated to offer to sell to the Partnership 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.
Teekay Corporation owns two additional FPSO units, the Hummingbird Spirit and the Petrojarl Banff, which may also be offered to the Partnership in the future pursuant to the omnibus agreement.
In May 2011, Teekay Corporation entered into a joint venture agreement with 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 180,000 employees and a presence in over 20 countries. Through the joint venture agreement, Odebrecht is a 50 percent partner in the Cidade de Itajai FPSO and the new Libra FPSO project.
Offshore Logistics
Shuttle Tankers (including HiLoad DP Units)
In September 2013, the Partnership acquired a 2010-built HiLoad DP unit from Remora AS (Remora), a Norway-based offshore marine technology company, for a total purchase price of approximately $60 million, including modification and mobilization costs. In late-December 2014, Petrobras notified the Partnership that the HiLoad DP unit Teekay Offshore anticipated Petrobras would charter had not met certain test criteria required by Petrobras to commence Brazilian offshore operations. The Partnership continues to believe in the application of HiLoad technology for safe and economical offshore loading operations and is currently pursuing various alternatives. In July 2013, Remora was awarded a contract by BG E&P Brasil Ltd. to undertake a front-end engineering and design (FEED) 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 capability to maneuver vessels larger than Suezmax conventional tankers. Under the terms of an agreement between Remora and Teekay Offshore, the Partnership has a right of first refusal to acquire any future HiLoad DP projects developed by Remora.
FSO Units
In May 2013, the Partnership entered into an agreement with Statoil Petroleum AS (Statoil), on behalf of the field license partners, to provide an FSO unit for the Gina Krog oil and gas field in the North Sea. The contract will be serviced by a new FSO unit converted from the 1995-built shuttle tanker, the Randgrid, which the Partnership currently owns through a 67 percent-owned subsidiary. The Partnership will acquire full ownership of the vessel prior to its conversion. The FSO

conversion project is expected to cost approximately $280 million, including amounts reimbursable upon delivery of the unit relating to installation and mobilization, and the cost of acquiring the remaining 33 percent 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 with Statoil, which includes 12 additional one-year extension options.
Floating Accommodation Units
In August 2014, the Partnership acquired Logitel Offshore Holding AS (Logitel), a Norway-based company focused on the high-end floating accommodation market. Logitel is currently constructing three newbuilding FAUs, based on the Sevan Marine ASA (Sevan) cylindrical hull design, at the COSCO (Nantong) Shipyard (COSCO) in China for a total cost of approximately $560 million. Prior to being acquired by the Partnership, Logitel secured a three-year fixed-rate charter contract, plus extension options, with Petrobras in Brazil for the first FAU, which is scheduled to deliver in the first quarter of 2015. The Partnership expects to secure charter contracts for the remaining two newbuilding FAUs prior to their respective scheduled deliveries in the first quarter of 2016 and the fourth quarter of 2016. In addition, the Partnership currently holds options to order up to an additional five FAUs from the COSCO shipyard.
Towage Vessels
In March 2014, Teekay Offshore acquired ALP Maritime Services B.V. (ALP), a Netherlands-based provider of long-haul ocean towage and offshore installation services to the global offshore oil and gas industry. As part of the 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, which will be equipped with DP capabilities, for a fully built-up cost of approximately $260 million. These newbuildings will be capable of ultra-long distance towing and offshore unit installation and decommissioning of large floating exploration, production and storage units and are scheduled to deliver during 2016.

Financial Summary
The Partnership reported adjusted net income attributable to the partners(1) of $40.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to $33.7 million for the same period of the prior year. Adjusted net income attributable to the partners excludes a number of specific items that had the net effect of decreasing net income by $63.4 million and increasing net income by $7.6 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily relating to unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments and foreign currency, as detailed in Appendix A to this release. Including these items, the Partnership reported, on a GAAP basis, a net loss attributable to the partners of $23.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to net income attributable to the partners of $41.3 million in the same period of the prior year. Net revenues(2) increased to $236.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $231.5 million in the same period of the prior year.
The Partnership reported adjusted net income attributable to the partners(1) of $123.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $72.8 million for the same period of the prior year. Adjusted net income attributable to the partners excludes a number of specific items that had the net effect of decreasing net income by $116.7 million and increasing net income by $20.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily relating to unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments and foreign currency, as detailed in Appendix A to this release. Including these items, the Partnership reported, on a GAAP basis, net income attributable to the partners of $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $93.2 million in the same period of the prior year. Net revenues(2) increased to $907.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $827.1 million in the same period of the prior year.
Adjusted net income attributable to the partners for the three months and year ended December 31, 2014 increased from the same periods in the prior year mainly due to the acquisitions of the Voyageur Spirit FPSO unit and a 50 percent interest in the Cidade de Itajai FPSO unit in the second quarter of 2013, the commencement of the time-charters with a subsidiary of BG Group plc for four newbuilding shuttle tankers (the BG Shuttle Tankers) in June, August, November 2013 and January 2014, the delivery of the Suksan Salamander FSO unit in August 2014, an increase in charter rates for the Cidade de Rio das Ostras FPSO unit resulting from contract indexation increase and an increase from the Piranema Spirit FPSO unit related to the produced water treatment plant installed in 2014. These increases were partially offset by the sale or lay-up of four older shuttle and conventional tankers during 2013 and 2014 as their related charter contracts expired or terminated. For the year ended December 31, 2014 and the three months and year ended December 31, 2013, indemnification payments of $3.5 million, $4.9 million and $34.9 million, respectively, were received from Teekay Corporation related to the Voyageur Spirit FPSO off-hire, which were not included in adjusted net income but instead were accounted for as an equity adjustment.
For accounting purposes, the Partnership is required to recognize, through the consolidated statements of (loss) income, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments as unrealized gains or losses. This revaluation does not affect the economics of any hedging transactions nor does it have any impact on the Partnership’s actual cash flows or the calculation of its distributable cash flow.
| (1) | Adjusted net income attributable to the partners is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to Appendix A included in this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP and information about specific items affecting net income that are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of the Partnership’s financial results. |
| (2) | Net revenues is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors to measure the financial performance of shipping companies. Please refer to Appendix C included in this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP. |

Shuttle Tanker Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership’s Shuttle Tanker segment of $59.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 were consistent with $60.9 million generated for the same period of the prior year. Expiration of time-charter out contracts for three existing shuttle tankers since the fourth quarter of 2013 were offset by the delivery of two BG Shuttle Tanker newbuildings and commencement of their respective time-charters in November 2013 and January 2014.
FPSO Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership’s FPSO segment, including one equity-accounted FPSO unit, increased to $52.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $46.4 million for the same period of the prior year, primarily due to an increase in charter rates for the Cidade de Rio das Ostras FPSO unit relating to an indexation of rates and the Piranema Spirit FPSO unit related to the completion of an on-board produced water treatment plant. Cash received from Teekay Corporation in relation to the Voyageur Spirit indemnification of $4.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2013 was not included as part of cash flow from vessel operations, but was instead accounted for as an equity adjustment.
FSO Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership’s FSO segment increased to $7.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $6.0 million for the same period of the prior year, primarily due to the delivery of the Suksan Salamander FSO in August 2014.
Conventional Tanker Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership’s Conventional Tanker segment decreased to $5.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $6.2 million for the same period of the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in charter rates on two of the Partnership’s vessels.
Liquidity and Continuous Offering Program Update
In 2013, the Partnership implemented a continuous offering program (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. As at December 31, 2014, the Partnership sold an aggregate of 296,858 common units under the COP, generating proceeds of approximately $10.0 million (including the Partnership’s general partner’s two percent proportionate capital contribution and net of offering costs). The Partnership did not sell any common units under the COP during the fourth quarter of 2014.
During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Partnership issued 6,704,888 common units to a group of institutional investors, generating net proceeds of $178.5 million (including the general partner’s two percent proportionate capital contribution). The net proceeds from the issuance of these common units will be used for general partnership purposes, which may include funding vessel conversion projects and finance newbuilding FAUs and towage vessels.
As of December 31, 2014, the Partnership had total liquidity of $351.7 million, which consisted of $252.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $99.6 million in undrawn revolving credit facilities.

| (1) | Results for the Voyageur Spirit FPSO unit for the period beginning April 13, 2013 prior to its acquisition by the Partnership on May 2, 2013 when it was owned and operated by Teekay Corporation, are included in Dropdown Predecessor. |
| (2) | Gain on sale and (write-down) of vessels for the three months and year ended December 31, 2014 includes a gain on the sale of a 1995-built shuttle tanker, the Navion Norvegia, to a joint venture held between the Partnership and a joint venture partner. The year ended December 31, 2014 also includes the impairment of one of the Partnership’s 1990s-built shuttle tankers to its estimated fair value. The write-down was the result of the pending expiration of the current contract for this vessel in early-2015. |
| Gain on sale and (write-down) of vessels for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes the impairment of six 1990s-built shuttle tankers to their estimated fair value. The quarter ended December 31, 2013 includes the impairment of two shuttle tankers which the Partnership owns through a 67 percent-owned subsidiary. The write-downs were the result of a cancellation of a contract renewal and expected sale of an aging vessel. The year ended December 31, 2013 also includes the impairment of four shuttle tankers, including the impairment of $37.2 million for two shuttle tankers which the Partnership owns through a 50 percent-owned consolidated subsidiary. The write-downs were the result of the re-contracting of one of the vessels at lower than expected rates during the third quarter of 2013, the cancellation of a short-term contract in September 2013 and a change in expectations for the contract renewal of two shuttle tankers, one operating in Brazil, and the other in the North Sea. |

APPENDIX B – RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE
DISTRIBUTABLE CASH FLOW
(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Description of Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Distributable Cash Flow (DCF)
Distributable cash flow represents net (loss) income adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, non-controlling interests, non-cash items, distributions relating to equity financing of newbuilding installments and on our preferred units, vessel and business acquisition costs, estimated maintenance capital expenditures, gain on sale and write-down of vessels, unrealized gains and losses from derivatives, non-cash income taxes, foreign currency and unrealized foreign exchange related items. Maintenance capital expenditures represent those capital expenditures required to maintain over the long-term the operating capacity of, or the revenue generated by, the Partnership’s capital assets. Distributable cash flow is a quantitative standard used in the publicly-traded partnership investment community to assist in evaluating a partnership’s ability to make quarterly cash distributions. Distributable cash flow is not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net (loss) income or any other indicator of the Partnership’s performance required by GAAP. The table below reconciles distributable cash flow to net (loss) income for the quarters ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

| (3) | Indemnification payments from Teekay Corporation for the loss of revenues and certain unrecovered vessel operating expenses for the Voyageur Spirit FPSO are effectively treated as a reduction to estimated maintenance capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2013, since the indemnification payments are effectively treated as a reduction to the purchase price of the Voyageur Spirit FPSO. Estimated maintenance capital expenditures excludes the estimated maintenance capital expenditures of the equity accounted joint venture, which are deducted from the equity accounted joint venture’s distributable cash flow. |

CASH FLOW FROM VESSEL OPERATIONS FROM EQUITY ACCOUNTED VESSEL
(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Description of Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Cash Flow from Vessel Operations from Equity Accounted Vessel
Cash flow from vessel operations from equity accounted vessel represents income from vessel operations before depreciation and amortization expense. Cash flow from equity accounted vessel represents the Partnership’s proportionate share of cash flow from vessel operations from its equity-accounted vessel, the Cidade de Itajai FPSO unit. Cash flow from vessel operations from equity accounted vessel is included because certain investors use cash flow from vessel operations to measure a company’s financial performance, and to highlight this measure for the Partnership’s equity accounted joint venture. Cash flow from vessel operations from equity accounted vessel is not required by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to equity income or any other indicator of the Partnership’s performance required by GAAP.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This release contains forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) which reflect management’s current views with respect to certain future events and performance, including statements regarding: the impact of low global oil prices on near-term offshore projects; the long-term offshore energy sector fundamentals, including the impact on the Partnership’s future growth; the Partnership’s growth projects, including new organic offshore projects and future acquisitions, and the impact of these projects on the Partnership’s future distributable cash flows; the timing of newbuilding, conversion and upgrade vessel or offshore unit deliveries and commencement of their respective time-charter contracts; the Partnership’s acquisition of future HiLoad projects and potential for improved features of new HiLoad DP vessel designs; the future application of the HiLoad technology, including securing a contract for the completed HiLoad DP unit; the estimated reserves on the Atlanta field; the timing and purchase price of the Partnership’s acquisition of six towing and anchor handling vessels; the timing and certainty of entering into charter contracts for the FAU newbuildings prior to their deliveries; the estimated cost of building, converting or upgrading vessels or offshore units; the Partnership’s acquisition of the Petrojarl Knarr FPSO, including the purchase price, the timing of completion of field installation and testing and contract start-up for this FPSO unit, the timing of the Partnership completing the acquisition, and the consideration for the acquisition; the timing and amount of the expected increase in the Partnership’s cash distributions after the acquisition of the Petrojarl Knarr FPSO; and the potential for Teekay Corporation or third parties to offer additional vessels or projects to the Partnership and the Partnership agreeing to acquire such vessels or projects. The following factors are among those that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, and that should be considered in evaluating any such statement: vessel operations and oil production volumes; significant changes in oil prices; variations in expected levels of field maintenance; increased operating expenses; different-than-expected levels of oil production in the North Sea and Brazil offshore fields; potential early termination of contracts; shipyard delivery or vessel conversion and upgrade delays and cost overruns; failure by the Partnership to secure charter contracts for FAU newbuildings; changes in exploration, production and storage of offshore oil and gas, either generally or in particular regions that would impact expected future growth; delays in the commencement of time-charters; the inability to successfully secure a contract for the HiLoad DP unit; inability of Remora to develop innovations for future HiLoad DP unit designs; failure of the Partnership to receive offers for additional vessels or offshore units from Teekay Corporation, Sevan, Remora or third parties; failure by the Partnership to complete the acquisition of the six towing and anchor handling vessels, including the transition of technical and commercial management of the vessels to ALP; potential delays in the commencement of operations of the Petrojarl Knarr FPSO unit; failure to obtain required approvals by the Conflicts Committee of Teekay Offshore’s general partner to approve the acquisition of vessels offered from Teekay Corporation, or third parties; the Partnership’s ability to raise adequate financing to purchase additional assets and complete organic growth projects; and other factors discussed in Teekay Offshore’s filings from time to time with the SEC, including its Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The Partnership expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Partnership’s expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
