GAAP net loss and non-GAAP adjusted net loss increased for the second quarter of 2018, compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Lower earnings resulted from the Voyageur Spirit and Ostras FPSO units operating at reduced rates on their contract extensions, the expiration of two dynamic positioning (DP)1 bareboat shuttle tanker charters in August and October 2017, a change in the estimated useful life of the tanker component for all shuttle tankers from 25 years to 20 years, effective January 1, 2018, and more dry-docking days in the second quarter of 2018. These decreases were partially offset by the start-up and contract commencement of the Randgrid FSO in October 2017, the Pioneiro de Libra FPSO in November 2017, and the Petrojarl I FPSO in early-May 2018, the redelivery by the Partnership of one in-chartered shuttle tanker in early 2018 and stronger results from the towage segment reflecting higher rates and utilization from a large tow assist and installation project for the Kaombo Norte FPSO. GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2018, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, was also negatively impacted by the write-down of the Piranema Spirit and Ostras FPSO units as a result of a reassessment of the future redeployment assumptions for both units.

CEO Commentary

“For the second quarter, our results came in better than our guidance driven mainly by stronger than expected results from our shuttle tanker contract of affreightment (CoA) fleet and lower operating expenses on various FPSO units,” commented Ingvild Sæther, President and CEO of Teekay Offshore Group Ltd. “However, as expected, our overall results were down from the previous quarter primarily driven by lower rates on the Voyageur Spirit and Ostras FPSO units as a result of contract extensions, higher interest expense and liquidated damages received from a towage newbuilding delivery last quarter, partially offset by the start-up of the Petrojarl I FPSO in May 2018.”
“Since reporting earnings in May 2018, we have continued to successfully secure new charter contract extensions. We entered into a second contract extension for the Voyageur Spirit FPSO to at least April 2020, and an extension on the Ostras FPSO to November 2018, plus extension options. These valuable extensions provide additional forward fixed revenues totaling over $70 million, plus upside from a formula based on both oil price, and production volume, with no incremental investment by the Partnership, while also extending the timeframe available to find appropriate redeployment opportunities.”
“In July 2018, we refinanced our 2019 bond maturities and the $200 million promissory note due in 2022 with a new $700 million unsecured bond offering, which significantly improves the Partnership’s debt maturity profile and further highlights Brookfield’s continued strong support of the Partnership with $300 million of new capital provided by Brookfield towards this bond offering. Following the bond offering, Brookfield exercised its option to acquire an additional 2% of our general partner, bringing its ownership interest in our general partner to 51%. We look forward to continuing our pursuit of our near- and longer-term objectives with the ongoing support of our sponsors, Brookfield and Teekay Corporation.”
“Last week, we reached another important milestone for our shuttle tanker franchise with the order of two LNG-fueled Aframax DP2 shuttle tanker newbuildings, which we expect will further strengthen our position as the leading provider of CoA shuttle tanker services in the North Sea. Our customers require a reliable, long-term solution for securing offtake services from a large proportion of current and future production in the North Sea and these state-of-the-art newbuildings, together with our four existing newbuildings under construction, demonstrate our ongoing commitment to our shuttle tanker franchise and our customers.”
Ms. Sæther concluded, “Looking ahead, with a stronger balance sheet, market-leading positions, operational excellence and strong and supportive sponsors, we believe Teekay Offshore is well-positioned to benefit from the expected strong demand for offshore production, storage and transportation.”

Summary of Recent Events
Recontracting of FPSO Units

In July 2018, the Partnership secured a further one-year contract extension with Premier Oil to extend the employment of the Voyageur Spirit FPSO on the Huntington field to April 2020. Compared to the current contract, the new one-year extension, which takes effect in April 2019, maintains the same fixed charter rate and oil production tariff elements, but provides additional upside from a formula based on oil price, regardless of production volume, which provides incremental cash flow upside to the Partnership.

In July 2018, the Partnership agreed to a contract extension with Petrobras to extend the employment of the Ostras FPSO to November 2018, with options to extend up to January 2019, at an increased rate relative to the option period of the previous contract extension.

In both cases, these contract extensions represent material incremental cash flow contribution with no incremental investment by the Partnership. These activities also extend the timeframe available to secure appropriate future redeployment opportunities and potentially delay or eliminate costs associated with lay-up between employment opportunities. The Partnership continues to explore options for future redeployment opportunities for both assets.

Financing Update

In July 2018, the Partnership completed an upsized $700 million private placement of 8.5% senior unsecured notes maturing in 2023 (the Notes). Brookfield Business Partners L.P., together with its institutional partners (Brookfield), the holder of approximately 60% of Teekay Offshore’s outstanding common units, purchased $500 million principal amount of the Notes. The Partnership used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance to (a) repurchase $225.2 million of the $300 million aggregate principal of its outstanding 6% senior notes maturing in 2019, (b) repurchase approximately NOK 910 million of the NOK 1,000 million aggregate principal of its NOK senior notes maturing in 2019 (the NOK notes) and settle approximately $40 million of the cross currency swaps which were an economic hedge to the NOK notes, and (c) repay at par an outstanding $200 million 10% promissory note held by Brookfield maturing in 2022 along with an associated $12 million early termination fee.

New Growth Project

In late-July 2018, the Partnership entered into shipbuilding contracts with Samsung Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. to construct two Aframax DP2 shuttle tanker newbuildings. These newbuildings will be constructed based on Teekay Offshore's New Shuttle Spirit design which incorporates proven technologies to increase fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, including LNG propulsion technology. Upon expected delivery in late-2020 through early-2021, these vessels will join the Partnership’s CoA shuttle tanker portfolio in the North Sea to provide needed capacity to meet its customers’ needs.
Arendal Spirit UMS loan extension
In August 2018, the Partnership extended the mandatory prepayment date for the Arendal Spirit UMS debt facility to September 30, 2019 in exchange for a principal prepayment of $18 million, which is expected to be paid in the third quarter of 2018.

FPSO Segment

Income from vessel operations decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to the write-down of the Piranema Spirit and Ostras FPSO units and lower charter rates from the Voyageur Spirit and Ostras FPSO units contract extensions.

Total cash flow from vessel operations (including equity-accounted vessels) increased for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to the commencement of operations of the Pioneiro de Libra FPSO in late-November 2017 and the Petrojarl I FPSO in early-May 2018, partially offset by the lower charter rates from the Voyageur Spirit FPSO and Ostras FPSO units contract extensions.

Shuttle Tanker Segment

Income from vessel operations and cash flow from vessel operations decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to more dry-docking days during the second quarter of 2018 and the redelivery to the Partnership of two DP1 shuttle tankers on bareboat contracts, the Nordic Brasilia and Nordic Rio in August and October 2017, respectively (which are currently trading in the weak spot conventional tanker market), partially offset by the redelivery of an in-chartered vessel in January 2018 and the uplift from the East Coast of Canada charter contracts resulting from the delivery and start-up of the Beothuk Spirit, Norse Spirit and Dorset Spirit newbuildings in December 2017, January 2018 and May 2018, respectively.
FSO Segment

Income from vessel operations and cash flow from vessel operations increased for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to the commencement of the Randgrid FSO charter contract in October 2017.
UMS Segment

Income from vessel operations and cash flow from vessel operations increased for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, due to lower operating expenses as a result of the lay-up of the Arendal Spirit UMS since the fourth quarter of 2017.
Towage Segment

Income from vessel operations and cash flow from vessel operations increased for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, due to the delivery of ALP Sweeper and ALP Keeper in October 2017 and February 2018, respectively, and higher charter rates and fleet utilization from the Kaombo Norte FPSO mobilization and field installation contract, which used a total of five vessels during the second quarter.

Conventional Tanker Segment

Income from vessel operations and cash flow from vessel operations decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to the termination of the Blue Power time-charter-out contract in the fourth quarter of 2017 and subsequent trading of the vessel in the weak spot conventional tanker market during 2018. The time-charter-in contracts for both of the conventional tankers included in this segment are scheduled to expire in March 2019.

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 (loss) 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 (loss) income 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, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, 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.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Partnership adopted the new revenue accounting standard, which resulted in increasing revenues by $15.8 million and $31.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, increasing voyage expenses by $3.0 million and $6.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and increasing vessel operating expenses by $12.8 million and $25.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. These gross-up adjustments had no impact on net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
(2)
The Partnership's shuttle tankers are comprised of two components: i) a conventional tanker (the “tanker component”) and ii) specialized shuttle equipment (the “shuttle component”). The Partnership differentiated these two components on the principle that a shuttle tanker can also operate as a conventional tanker without the use of the shuttle component. The economics of this alternate use depend on the supply and demand fundamentals in the two segments. Historically, the Partnership has assessed the useful life of the tanker component as being 25 years and the shuttle component as being 20 years. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Partnership has considered challenges associated with shuttle tankers that have approached 20 years of age in recent years and has reassessed the useful life of the tanker component to be 20 years. This change in estimate, commencing January 1, 2018, impacts 21 vessels in the Partnership's shuttle tanker fleet. Separately, the Partnership has reviewed the residual value for seven vessels in its fleet that are 17 years of age or older and, as a result of a change in current estimated recycling values, has decreased the residual value for these vessels. The effect of these changes in estimates increased depreciation expense and decreased net income by $5.4 million and $10.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Partnership incurred a write-down of $181.4 million, mainly related to the Piranema Spirit and Ostras FPSO units as a result of a reassessment of the future redeployment assumptions for both units. In June 2018, the Partnership sold a 1998-built shuttle tanker, the Navion Britannia, for net proceeds of $10.4 million, and recorded a gain on sale of $2.6 million in the Partnership's shuttle tanker segment.
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Partnership incurred a write-down of $28.5 million related to two older shuttle tankers ($14.2 million which relates to one shuttle tanker the Partnership owns through a 50 percent-owned subsidiary), due to the expected redelivery of these vessels from their charterer after completing their bareboat charter contracts in April 2018 and the resulting change in the expectations for the future employment opportunities for the vessels.

Realized loss on derivative instruments relates to amounts the Partnership actually paid to settle derivative instruments, and the unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments relates to the change in fair value of such derivative instruments, as detailed in the table below:

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. 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 (loss) gain relating to the change in fair value of such swaps, partially offset by an unrealized gain (loss) on the revaluation of the NOK bonds, as detailed in the table below. In July 2018, the Partnership used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes to repurchase approximately NOK 910 million of the NOK 1,000 million aggregate principal of its NOK bonds and terminated NOK 905 million of the associated NOK 1,000 million aggregate notional amount of the cross currency swaps, resulting in a cash settlement of approximately $40 million on the cross currency swap termination.

(1)
See footnote (3) of the summary consolidated statements of (loss) income included in this release for further details.
(2)
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, including revaluation of all foreign-currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities within the equity accounted joint ventures 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.
(3)
Other items for the three months ended June 30, 2018 include a decrease in the deferred income tax asset for the Partnership's Norwegian tax structures. Other items for the three months ended June 30, 2017 includes an increase in the Piranema Spirit FPSO rate reduction contingency and an increase in accrual relating to potential damages resulting from the cancellation of the UMS newbuildings, partially offset by an increase in the deferred income tax asset for the Partnership's Norwegian tax structures.
(4)
Reflects depreciation and amortization expense, general and administrative expenses and vessel operating expenses relating to the Petrojarl I FPSO unit while undergoing upgrades.
(5)
Reflects the net unrealized (gain) 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 Pioneiro de Libra FPSO equity accounted joint venture.
(6)
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.
(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 timing and cost of delivery and start-up of various newbuildings and the commencement of related contracts; the impact of the Partnership’s newbuilding order on its position in the North Sea CoA shuttle tanker market; fuel consumption and emissions for the shuttle tanker newbuildings; future forward revenues; the impact of contract extensions on the Partnership’s future cash flows; potential redeployment opportunities; a potential global energy and offshore market recovery and the Partnership’s ability to benefit from such recovery; the continued support of the Partnership’s sponsors;
and the extension of the Arendal Spirit UMS loan facility. The following factors are among those that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, and that should be considered in evaluating any such statement: changes in 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; significant changes in oil prices; variations in expected levels of field maintenance; increased operating expenses; potential early termination of contracts; shipyard delivery delays and cost overruns; delays in the commencement of charter contracts; the inability of charterers to make future charter payments; the inability of the Partnership to renew or replace long-term contracts on existing vessels; 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, 2017. 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.
