GAAP net loss and adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2017, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, were impacted by the redelivery of the Varg FPSO unit at the end of July 2016, the redelivery of the Navion Saga FSO unit in October 2016 and lower utilization in the Partnership's towage fleet during the second quarter of 2017, partially offset by the commencement of time-charter contracts for two shuttle tankers during the second quarter of 2017 and lower operating expenses in the Partnership's shuttle tanker fleet from lower repairs and maintenance costs. Additionally, GAAP net loss decreased for the second quarter of 2017, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to the write-down of two UMS newbuildings due to the cancellation of the related construction contracts during the second quarter of 2016 and a decrease in the unrealized loss on non-designated derivative instruments, partially offset by the write-off of deferred operating expenses as a result of the charter contract termination for the Arendal Spirit UMS during the second quarter of 2017.
CEO Commentary

“The comprehensive transaction announced last week with our new strategic partner, Brookfield, is expected to transform Teekay Offshore’s capital structure and position us to better service our customers,” commented Ingvild Sæther, President and CEO of Teekay Offshore Group Ltd. “With our existing in-progress growth projects now fully financed with this transaction and nearing completion, our top priority is delivering these projects into operation, which include the Libra FPSO conversion, Randgrid FSO conversion, Petrojarl I FPSO upgrade, East Coast Canada shuttle tanker newbuildings and remaining ALP towage newbuildings. Once delivered over the next few quarters, these projects are expected to contribute approximately an incremental $200 million of run-rate annual cash flow from vessel operations, which will add to the Partnership’s strong existing portfolio of forward fixed-rate cash flows. Longer-term, with a more sustainable balance sheet, stronger liquidity position and greater access to capital, we believe Teekay Offshore is well-positioned to take advantage of future growth opportunities as the global energy markets recover.”
Summary of Recent Events
Strategic Partnership with Brookfield and Comprehensive Solution
In late-July 2017, Teekay Offshore announced entering into agreements for a strategic partnership with Brookfield Business Partners L.P., together with its institutional partners (collectively Brookfield), and related transactions (together the Brookfield Transaction), which include the following:
Brookfield and Teekay Corporation (Teekay) will invest $610 million and $30 million, respectively, in Teekay Offshore at a price of $2.50 per common unit and receive 65.5 million Teekay Offshore warrants (Warrants) on a pro rata basis. Following the investment, Brookfield will own approximately 60 percent and Teekay will own approximately 14 percent of the common units of Teekay Offshore;
Brookfield will acquire from Teekay both a 49 percent interest in TOO GP and an option to acquire an additional two percent of TOO GP subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. On closing, Brookfield will have the right to elect four members to the nine-member Board of Directors of TOO GP;
Teekay Offshore will repurchase and cancel all $304 million of the outstanding Series C-1 and Series D preferred units from the existing unitholders for an aggregate of approximately $250 million in cash, which will save approximately $28 million annually in cash distributions;
Teekay Offshore has reached agreement in principle with the lenders of the Arendal Spirit UMS debt facility to extend the mandatory prepayment date to September 30, 2018, in exchange for a principal prepayment, subject to receipt of lenders' final internal approvals;
Brookfield will acquire from a subsidiary of Teekay, the $200 million loan, previously extended to Teekay Offshore, in exchange for $140 million in cash and 11.4 million of the Warrants to be issued to Brookfield. Brookfield has agreed to extend the maturity date of the loan from 2019 to 2022;
Teekay Offshore will transfer its shuttle tanker business into a new, wholly-owned, non-recourse subsidiary, Teekay Shuttle Tankers L.L.C. (or ShuttleCo). As part of the formation of ShuttleCo, a majority of Teekay Offshore's shuttle tanker fleet will be refinanced with a new $600 million, five-year debt facility, and two 50 percent-owned vessels will be refinanced with a new $71 million, four-year debt facility. In addition, an existing $250 million debt facility secured by the three East Coast of Canada newbuildings, and an existing $141 million private placement bond secured by two vessels, will be transferred from Teekay Offshore to ShuttleCo;

A significant portion of Teekay Offshore's existing NOK bonds due to mature in late-2018 are expected to be repurchased with proceeds from a new five-year $250 million U.S. Dollar denominated bond offering by ShuttleCo in the Norwegian bond market, which recently priced at a fixed coupon of 7.125 percent per annum; and
Certain financial institutions providing interest rate swaps to Teekay Offshore have agreed to (i) lower the fixed interest rate on the swaps, (ii) extend the termination option of the swaps by two years to 2021, and (iii) eliminate the financial guarantee and security package currently provided by Teekay in return for a prepayment amount and fees.
As part of the Brookfield Transaction, Teekay Offshore has reduced its existing common unit distribution to reinvest cash in the business and further strengthen the Partnership’s balance sheet. For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, TOO GP declared a cash distribution of $0.01 per common unit, payable on August 11, 2017 to all unitholders of record on August 7, 2017.

The Brookfield Transaction has been approved by the Board of Directors of Teekay, TOO GP, and Brookfield. Teekay Offshore’s Conflicts Committee, comprised of independent members of the board of directors of TOO GP and assisted by independent legal and financial advisors, also approved the transactions between Teekay Offshore and Brookfield and Teekay Offshore and Teekay. Closing of the Brookfield Transaction, which remains subject to various conditions, including, among others, regulatory approvals, is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2017.

Shuttle Tanker Newbuildings

In addition to the formation of the ShuttleCo, Teekay Offshore has entered into conditional shipbuilding contracts with Samsung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. to construct two Suezmax DP2 shuttle tanker newbuildings with options to order up to two additional vessels. These newbuilding vessels will be constructed based on the Partnership's New Shuttle Spirit design which incorporates proven technologies to increase fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, including LNG propulsion technology. Upon delivery scheduled in 2019 and 2020, these vessels will provide shuttle tanker services in the North Sea under the Partnership’s existing Master Agreement with Statoil ASA (Statoil) and will free up required vessel capacity to service Teekay Offshore's contract of affreightment (CoA) fleet in the North Sea.
Petrojarl I Charter Amendment
In July 2017, the Partnership signed an amendment to the Petrojarl I FPSO charter contract with Queiroz Galvão Exploração e Produção SA (QGEP). The amended charter contract includes an extension to the delivery window for the project and an adjusted charter rate profile which reduces the day rate for the FPSO unit during the first 18 months of production. During the final 3.5 years of the contract, the charter contract will revert to a rate that is higher than the original daily rate, plus production tariffs, which provides the potential for the Partnership to more than recover the reduction during the first 18 months. Start-up of oil production on the Atlanta Field is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2018.
Delivery of Newbuilding Towage Vessel
In June 2017, the Partnership took delivery of the ALP Defender, the second of four state-of-the-art SX-157 Ulstein Design ultra-long distance towing and offshore installation newbuildings being constructed by Niigata Shipbuilding & Repair in Japan. Due to the delayed delivery of the vessel, during the second quarter of 2017, the Partnership received a reimbursement from the shipyard of $8.5 million and received an advance payment of $15.8 million on a reimbursement related to delayed deliveries of the two remaining ultra-long distance towing and offshore installation newbuildings, which are scheduled to be delivered in late-2017 and early-2018.
New North Sea Shuttle Tanker Contract
In June 2017, the Partnership finalized the previously announced three-year shuttle tanker CoA to service a development in the U.K. North Sea. The CoA is expected to commence during the third quarter of 2017 and will require the use of up to approximately 0.6 shuttle tanker equivalents per annum, which will be provided by the Partnership's existing CoA shuttle tanker fleet.

FPSO Segment
Income from vessel operations and cash flow from vessel operations decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to the redelivery of the Varg FPSO unit at the end of July 2016, partially offset by lower operating expenses for the Knarr FPSO unit following the successful completion of its final performance test in August 2016.

Shuttle Tanker Segment

Income from vessel operations and cash flow from vessel operations increased for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same quarter of the prior year primarily due to the commencement of new time-charter contracts for the Petronordic and Petroatlantic following completion of their previous bareboat charters contracts, higher CoA fleet utilization, an increase in charter rates under certain contracts in the time-chartered-out fleet, and lower operating expenses due to the timing of repairs and maintenance. These increases were partially offset by the redelivery of one vessel to the Partnership in June 2016 upon completion of its time-charter out contract (which commenced operating in the Partnership's CoA fleet in the North Sea in late-2016), the sale of the Navion Europa in November 2016, and higher time-charter hire expenses primarily due to the in-charter of the Grena Knutsen commencing in September 2016.
FSO Segment
Income from vessel operations and cash flow from vessel operations decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, due to the off-hire of the Navion Saga following completion of its time-charter out contract in October 2016.
UMS Segment

Cash flow from vessel operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were consistent compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Income from vessel operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 reflects the operational review by the charterer and associated non-payment of charter hire since early-November 2016 and subsequent charter contract termination of the Arendal Spirit UMS, which resulted in the net write-off of $8.9 million of deferred mobilization costs. Income from vessel operations for the three months ended June 30, 2016 reflects the off-hire of the Arendal Spirit UMS following damage suffered to the unit's gangway and included a $43.7 million write-down of two UMS newbuildings due to the cancellation of the related construction contracts.
Towage Segment

Income from vessel operations and cash flow from vessel operations decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, due to lower realized rates and fleet utilization, partially offset by the delivery of two towage newbuildings, the ALP Striker and ALP Defender, in September 2016 and June 2017, respectively.

Conventional Tanker Segment
Income from vessel operations and cash flow from vessel operations decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to lower earnings related to one of the conventional tankers trading in the spot market.

Definitions and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes various financial measures that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These non-GAAP financial measures, which include Cash Flow from Vessel Operations, Adjusted Net Income, and Distributable Cash Flow are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these measures do not have standardized meanings, and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Partnership believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Partnership’s financial performance, as does management.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Cash Flow from (used for) Vessel Operations (CFVO) represents income from vessel operations before depreciation and amortization expense, amortization of in-process revenue contracts, vessel write-downs, gains or losses on the sale of vessels, write-off of deferred revenues and operating expenses and adjustments for direct financing leases to a cash basis, but includes realized gains or losses on the settlement of foreign currency forward contracts. CFVO from Consolidated Vessels represents CFVO from vessels that are consolidated on the Partnership’s financial statements. CFVO from Equity-Accounted Vessels represents the Partnership’s proportionate share of CFVO from its equity-accounted vessels. The Partnership does not control its equity-accounted vessels and as a result, the Partnership does not have the unilateral ability to determine whether the cash generated by its equity-accounted vessels is retained within the entities in which the Partnership holds the equity-accounted investments or distributed to the Partnership and other owners. In addition, the Partnership does not control the timing of such distributions to the Partnership and other owners. Consequently, readers are cautioned when using total CFVO as a liquidity measure as the amount contributed from CFVO from Equity-Accounted Vessels may not be available to the Partnership in the periods such CFVO is generated by its equity-accounted vessels. CFVO is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors and management to measure the operational financial performance of companies. Please refer to Appendices D and E of this release for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to income (loss) from vessel operations and income from vessel operations of equity-accounted vessels, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP measures reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted Net Income excludes items of income or loss from GAAP net (loss) income that are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of the Partnership’s financial results. The Partnership believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Partnership’s financial performance, as does management. Please refer to Appendix A of this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to net (loss) income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

Distributable Cash Flow (DCF) represents GAAP net (loss) income adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, deferred income tax expense or recovery, vessel write-downs, gains or losses on the sale of vessels, vessel and business acquisition costs, distributions relating to equity financing of newbuilding installments and conversion costs, pre-operational expenses, distributions on the Partnership's preferred units, gains on extinguishment of contingent liabilities and losses on non-cash accruals of contingent liabilities, amortization of the non-cash portion of revenue contracts, estimated maintenance capital expenditures, unrealized gains and losses from non-designated derivative instruments, ineffectiveness for derivative instruments designated as hedges for accounting purposes, adjustments for direct financing leases to a cash basis and foreign exchange related items, including the Partnership's proportionate share of such items in equity-accounted for investments and non-controlling interests proportionate share of such interests. 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. DCF is a quantitative standard used in the publicly-traded partnership investment community and by management to assist in evaluating financial performance. Please refer to Appendix B of this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to net (loss) income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, as part of the Partnership's 2016 financing initiatives, the Partnership canceled the UMS construction contracts for its two UMS newbuildings. As a result, the Partnership incurred a $43.7 million write-down related to these two UMS newbuildings, included in Write-down of vessels for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. In addition, the Partnership, in accordance with GAAP, accrued for potential damages resulting from the cancellations and reversed the contingent liabilities previously recorded that were subject to the delivery of the UMS newbuildings. This net loss provision of $23.4 million is reported in Other (expense) income - net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The newbuilding contracts are held in separate subsidiaries of the Partnership and obligations of these subsidiaries are non-recourse to the Partnership.

The Partnership entered into cross currency swaps to economically hedge the foreign currency exposure on the payment of interest and repayment of principal amounts of the Partnership’s Norwegian Kroner (NOK) bonds with maturity dates through to 2019. In addition, the cross currency swaps economically hedge the interest rate exposure on the NOK bonds. The Partnership has not designated, for accounting purposes, these cross currency swaps as cash flow hedges of its NOK bonds and, thus, foreign currency exchange loss includes a realized loss relating to the amounts the Partnership paid to settle its non-designated cross currency swaps and an unrealized gain (loss) relating to the change in fair value of such swaps, partially offset by an unrealized (loss) gain on the revaluation of the NOK bonds, as detailed in the table below. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Partnership's realized loss on cross-currency swaps includes a $32.6 million loss on the maturity of the swap associated with the NOK 500 million bond which settled in January 2016, which was offset by a $32.6 million realized foreign currency exchange gain on the settlement of the bond which is not included in the table below.

(1)
Foreign currency exchange loss primarily relates to the Partnership’s revaluation of all foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities based on the prevailing exchange rate at the end of each reporting period and the unrealized gain or loss related to the Partnership’s cross currency swaps related to the Partnership's NOK bonds and excludes the realized gain or loss relating to the Partnership's cross currency swaps.
(2)
Reflects the unrealized loss due to changes in the mark-to-market value of interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, hedge ineffectiveness from derivative instruments designated as hedges for accounting purposes, the unrealized mark-to-market value of the interest rate swaps within the Cidade de Itajai FPSO equity accounted joint venture and hedge ineffectiveness within the Libra FPSO equity accounted joint venture.
(3)
See footnote (1) of the summary consolidated statements of (loss) income included in this release for further details. A further accrual for the second quarter of 2017 was included in "Net loss provision relating to cancellation of UMS newbuildings".
(4)
Includes the write-off of deferred revenues and operating expenses as a result of the termination of the Arendal Spirit UMS charter contract in late-April 2017.
(5)
Reflects depreciation and amortization expense and vessel operating expenses relating to the Petrojarl I FPSO unit while undergoing upgrades and realized losses on interest rate swaps relating to the Libra FPSO conversion and the ALP towage newbuildings for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Reflects the costs associated with the delivery deferral of one of the Partnership's two UMS newbuildings up to its cancellation date, depreciation and amortization expense and vessel operating expenses relating to the Petrojarl I FPSO unit while undergoing upgrades and realized gains on foreign currency forward contracts relating to the conversion costs on the Gina Krog FSO unit during the three months ended June 30, 2016.
(6)
Other items for the three months ended June 30, 2017 includes an increase in the Piranema Spirit FPSO rate reduction contingency partially offset by an increase in the deferred income tax asset for the Partnership's Norwegian tax structures. Other items for the three months ended June 30, 2016 includes restructuring charges relating to the reorganization within the Partnership’s FPSO segment and a write-down of equipment in one of the Partnership's joint ventures.
(7)
Items affecting net loss include amounts attributable to the Partnership’s consolidated non-wholly-owned subsidiaries. Each item affecting net loss is analyzed to determine whether any of the amounts originated from a consolidated non-wholly-owned subsidiary. Each amount that originates from a consolidated non-wholly-owned subsidiary is multiplied by the non-controlling interests’ percentage share in this subsidiary to arrive at the non-controlling interests’ share of the amount. The amount identified as “non-controlling interests’ share of items above” in the table above is the cumulative amount of the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of items affecting net loss listed in the table.

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: the proposed Brookfield Transaction; the timing and completion of the Brookfield Transaction; the expected effects of the completion of the Brookfield Transaction on the Partnership’s operations and financial condition, including its ability to benefit from an energy market recovery, reduced financial leverage, enhanced liquidity, future access to capital, and ability to better service customers and take advantage of future growth opportunities; completion of the restructuring of the shuttle tanker business; proposed refinancings or amendments of credit facilities and bonds; the expected effects of the completion of the Brookfield Transaction on Teekay, including a release of Teekay from financial guarantees; the future cash flow from vessel operations to be provided by the Partnership’s existing growth projects once delivered; required capital expenditures for newbuilding vessels and the expected full financing of existing growth projects; the expected employment of the newbuilding shuttle tankers under the Partnership’s agreement with Statoil and the expected required capacity in the Partnership’s CoA fleet in the North Sea; the timing of start-up and the vessel equivalent requirements of the new CoAs; the Partnership’s timing of delivery and start-up of various newbuildings and conversion/upgrade projects and the commencement of related contracts; and the outcome of claims and disputes relating to order cancellations and other matters. 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: failure to satisfy the closing conditions of the Brookfield Transaction, including, without limitation, obtaining the required approvals from relevant regulatory authorities; any failure of counterparties to agreements with Teekay or the Partnership to perform their commitments relating to the Brookfield Transaction; failure to realize the expected benefits of the Brookfield Transaction; changes in exploration, production and storage of offshore oil and gas, either generally or in particular regions that would impact expected future growth, particularly in or related to North Sea, Brazil and East Coast of Canada offshore fields; vessel operations; significant changes in oil prices; variations in expected levels of field maintenance; increased operating expenses; potential early termination of contracts; shipyard delivery or vessel conversion and upgrade delays and cost overruns; the inability of the Partnership to successfully defend against claims or disputes, or the significant cost of undertaking such defenses; delays in the commencement of charter contracts; the ability to fund the Partnership’s remaining capital commitments and debt maturities; 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, 2016. 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.
