Please refer to Appendices to the release announcing the results for the fourth quarter of 2018 attached as Exhibit 1 to the Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 13, 2019, for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures under GAAP.

First Quarter of 2019 Compared to First Quarter of 2018

Revenues were $337 million in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of $14 million compared to $323 million in the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to higher utilization in the Towage segment.

Net loss was $3 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to net income of $16 million in the same quarter of the prior year, as an increase in operating income of $63 million (including the absence of a $28 million write-down of two shuttle tankers recognized in the first quarter of 2018) was more than offset by a $78 million increase in unrealized fair value losses on derivative instruments, primarily related to a decrease in interest rates.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was $188 million in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of $28 million compared to $160 million in the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to higher earnings in all six of the Partnership's operating segments, particularly in the Towage and Shuttle Tanker segments, with earnings of $10 million and $9 million, respectively.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income was $30 million for the first quarter of 2019, an increase of $21 million compared to the same quarter in the prior year, due to higher Adjusted EBITDA as well as a decrease in depreciation and amortization of $5 million, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $11 million.

First Quarter of 2019 Compared to Fourth Quarter of 2018

Revenues and net income decreased by $109 and $70 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2019, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to $91 million of revenue recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018 relating to a positive settlement with Petrobras and a $6 million decrease in the amortization of non-cash deferred revenue relating to the Piranema Spirit FPSO unit. The impact of these items on net income was partially offset by the absence of a $19 million write-down of the HiLoad DP unit recognized in the prior quarter and a $7 million decrease in unrealized fair value losses on derivative instruments.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income both decreased by $101 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to the $91 million impact from the Petrobras settlement and the $6 million decrease in the amortization of non-cash deferred revenue relating to the Piranema Spirit FPSO unit, as well as an additional $8 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA in the FPSO segment, partially offset by a $5 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA in the Towage segment.

Please refer to “Operating Results” for additional information on variances by segment and Appendices A and B for  reconciliations between GAAP net (loss) income and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, respectively.

CEO Commentary

“We are pleased to announce another solid operational quarter with Adjusted EBITDA of $188 million. Excluding the Petrobras settlement last quarter and a non-cash FPSO revenue item, this is nearly in-line with the very strong Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2018. We are particularly encouraged by the improved results within the Towage segment, on the back of high fleet utilization this quarter. Compared to the first quarter of 2018, our Adjusted EBITDA improved by $28 million, with increases in all six operating segments,” commented Ingvild Sæther, President and CEO of Teekay Offshore Group Ltd.

“We continue to work closely with Alpha Petroleum in their attempt to complete the financing of the development of the U.K. Cheviot field which remains a pre-condition to effect the new charter contract for the redeployment of the Petrojarl Varg FPSO. We expect a decision to be made in the second quarter of 2019.”

Ms. Sæther added, "It has been a busy quarter on the financing side, and we were pleased to announce the long-term financing of the first four shuttle tanker newbuildings at competitive terms and backed by a combination of ECAs and commercial banks. We are also making good progress on the financing of the two remaining newbuildings. In addition, in the second quarter of 2019, we expect to close a refinancing of the ShuttleCo revolving credit facility offering improved terms, especially in relation to debt amortization that we expect will be reduced from $100 million to $54 million per year."

Summary of Recent Events

Financing Initiatives

In April 2019, the Partnership secured a new $414 million long-term debt facility to be used to finance four LNG-fueled Suezmax DP2 shuttle tanker newbuildings. Upon anticipated delivery in 2019 and 2020, two of the vessels will commence operations under the Partnership’s master agreement with Equinor, while the remaining two vessels will join the Partnership’s contract of affreightment (CoA) shuttle tanker portfolio in the North Sea. The new facility is funded and guaranteed by both Canadian and Norwegian export credit agencies, and commercial banks and bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 225 basis points, and has a tenor for up to 12 years from the delivery date of each vessel and a blended repayment profile of 18 years.

In late-April 2019, the Partnership closed a $100 million refinancing of the Piranema Spirit, Voyageur Spirit and Petrojarl Varg FPSO units. The previous credit facility matured at the same time with a balloon payment of $35 million. The new revolving credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 300 basis points and reduces to $45 million over three years, reflecting the relative short current contract backlog for these FPSO units.

FSO Unit Sale

In April 2019, the Partnership completed the sale of the Pattani Spirit FSO unit for total proceeds of approximately $16 million. The Partnership expects to record a gain on sale of approximately $11 million during the second quarter of 2019. There was no outstanding debt facility relating to this unit.

Shuttle Tanker Sales

In April 2019, the Partnership delivered the 1998-built Alexita Spirit shuttle tanker and the 2001-built Nordic Spirit shuttle tanker to their respective buyers for total proceeds of approximately $9 million per vessel. The Partnership expects to record a gain on the sale of approximately $1 million per vessel in the second quarter of 2019.

FPSO Unit Contract Extension

In January 2019, the Partnership secured a contract extension with Petrobras to extend the employment of the Piranema Spirit FPSO unit on the Brazilian field. The contract extension commenced in February 2019 for a period of three years and includes customer termination rights with 10 months' advance notice.
Operating Results

Adjusted EBITDA (including Adjusted EBITDA of equity-accounted vessels) increased by $3 million primarily due to: $13 million from the commencement of operations of the Petrojarl I FPSO unit in May 2018; and $12 million from the accelerated amortization of non-cash deferred revenue relating to the Piranema Spirit FPSO unit; partially offset by a decrease of $21 million due to the Piranema Spirit, Voyageur Spirit and Rio das Ostras FPSO units contract extensions, as charter rates were lower than the original contracts.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $14 million compared to the three months ended December 31, 2018 primarily due to: the $6 million decrease in the accelerated amortization of non-cash deferred revenue relating to the Piranema Spirit FPSO unit and $5 million from the timing of maintenance bonuses related to equity-accounted FPSO units.

Teekay Offshore’s Fleet

The following table summarizes Teekay Offshore’s fleet as of April 30, 2019. In comparison to the previously-reported fleet table in the release for the fourth quarter of 2018, Teekay Offshore's fleet has decreased due to the redelivery of the two in-chartered conventional tankers in March and April 2019, respectively, and the sale of the Alexita Spirit and the Nordic Spirit shuttle tankers and the Pattani Spirit FSO unit in April 2019.

Liquidity Update

As of March 31, 2019, the Partnership had total liquidity of $183 million, a decrease of $42 million compared to December 31, 2018. The decrease in liquidity is primarily due to a delay in the expected refinancing of the Partnership's FPSO revolving credit facility. This FPSO revolving credit facility refinancing closed in late-April 2019 and added approximately $65 million of liquidity to the Partnership.

The Partnership plans to host a conference call on Tuesday, April 30, 2019 at 12:00 p.m. (ET) to discuss the results for the first quarter of 2019. All unitholders and interested parties are invited to listen to the live conference call by choosing from the following options:

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 (SEC). These non-GAAP financial measures, including Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered substitutes 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. These non-GAAP measures are used by management, and the Partnership believes that these supplementary metrics assist investors and other users of its financial reports in comparing financial and operating performance of the Partnership across reporting periods and with other companies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA represents net (loss) income before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization and is adjusted to exclude certain items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated in advance or that are not considered representative of core operating performance. Such adjustments include vessel write-downs, gains or losses on the sale of vessels, unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments, foreign exchange gains or losses, losses on debt repurchases, and certain other income or expenses. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA also excludes realized gains or losses on interest rate swaps as management, in assessing the Partnership's performance, views these gains or losses as an element of interest expense, and realized gains or losses on derivative instruments resulting from amendments or terminations of the underlying instruments.  Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA also excludes equity income as the Partnership does not control its equity-accounted investments, and as a result, the Partnership does not have the unilateral ability to determine whether the cash generated by its equity-accounted investments is retained within the entity in which the Partnership holds the equity-accounted investment or distributed to the Partnership and other owners. In addition, the Partnership does not control the timing of any such distributions to the Partnership and other owners.

Adjusted EBITDA represents Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to include the Partnership's proportionate share of consolidated adjusted EBITDA from its equity-accounted joint ventures and to exclude the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the consolidated adjusted EBITDA from the Partnership's consolidated joint ventures. Readers are cautioned when using Adjusted EBITDA as a liquidity measure as the amount contributed from Adjusted EBITDA from the equity-accounted investments may not be available or distributed to the Partnership in the periods such Adjusted EBITDA is generated by the equity-accounted investments. Please refer to Appendices A and C of this release for reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income and equity income, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP measures reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted Net Income represents net (loss) income adjusted to exclude the impact of certain items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated in advance or that are not considered representative of core operating performance consistent with the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted Net Income includes realized gains or losses on interest rate swaps as an element of interest expense and excludes income tax expenses or recoveries from changes in valuation allowance or uncertain tax provisions. 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.

Each item affecting net (loss) income 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 adjustments relate to the gain on sale or write-down of vessels and foreign currency exchange gain or loss within the Partnership's consolidated non-wholly-owned subsidiaries.
