GAAP net (loss) income and adjusted net income for the third 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, the non-payment of charter-hire payments since November 2016 and subsequent contract termination of the Arendal Spirit UMS in April 2017 and higher repair and maintenance expenses relating to the Partnership's FPSO units, partially offset by higher utilization and lower operating expenses relating to the Partnership's shuttle tanker fleet during the third quarter of 2017. Additionally, GAAP net (loss) income for the third quarter of 2017, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, was impacted by the write-down of six of the Partnership's vessels and offshore units during the third quarter of 2017 and a net increase in the realized and unrealized loss on derivative instruments due to the amendments of certain interest rate swaps during the third quarter of 2017 and changes in the fair value of derivatives, partially offset by the net gain recorded during the third quarter of 2017 due to the reversal and settlement of previously recorded contingent liabilities.

CEO Commentary

“In September 2017, we completed the previously announced comprehensive transaction with Brookfield, which significantly strengthened the Partnership’s balance sheet,” commented Ingvild Sæther, President and CEO of Teekay Offshore Group Ltd.

“During the third quarter of 2017, we reported lower cash flows than expected as a result of various non-recurring items and timing differences,” Ms. Sæther continued. “In addition, we recognized impairment charges in the third quarter of 2017 mainly relating to cost overruns and delays experienced on the upgrade of the Petrojarl I FPSO unit and the pending charter expiration on the Rio das Ostras FPSO unit in January 2018.”

"We are pleased to announce that we have entered into a head of terms with Premier Oil to extend the employment of the Voyageur Spirit FPSO unit on the Huntington field in the North Sea out to April 2019, which we believe aligns both parties to maximize the life of the field" commented Ms. Sæther.

“Looking ahead to the fourth quarter of 2017 and into 2018, our growth projects are now starting to deliver and generate cash flows, which we expect will provide significant additional future cash flows,” Ms. Sæther continued. “In October and November 2017, the Randgrid FSO unit commenced its charter contract with Statoil on the Gina Krog field, and we took delivery of our first two East Coast Canada shuttle tanker newbuildings and our third towage newbuilding. In addition, we expect our other growth projects to commence their respective charter contracts between now and into the first quarter of 2018, including the Libra FPSO unit, the Petrojarl I FPSO unit and our third East Coast Canada shuttle tanker newbuilding. In aggregate, these projects, once they all commence operations, are expected to generate approximately $200 million of annual cash flow from vessel operations.”

Ms. Sæther added, “Over the course of 2017, we have started to see green shoots of a potential recovery in the offshore market. Most notably, these include stronger crude oil prices as Brent crude oil is now above $60 per barrel, lower break-even price levels for offshore projects, interest from international oil companies for the numerous offshore blocks recently awarded in Brazil, tenders for new shuttle tanker requirements, and, after almost two years with very few transactions, increased activity in the FPSO market, including several charter contract awards.  With a stronger balance sheet, access to capital, market-leading positions and strong operational platforms, we believe we are well-positioned to benefit from future opportunities as the global energy market recovers.” 

Summary of Recent Events

Strategic Partnership with Brookfield and Comprehensive Solution

On September 25, 2017, Teekay Offshore completed the previously announced strategic partnership with Brookfield Business Partners L.P., together with its institutional partners (collectively Brookfield), and related transactions (collectively the Brookfield Transaction), which included the following, among others:

  • Brookfield and Teekay Corporation (Teekay) invested $610 million and $30 million, respectively, in Teekay Offshore at a price of $2.50 per common unit and received 65.5 million Teekay Offshore warrants (Warrants) on a pro rata basis. Following the transaction, Brookfield owns approximately 60 percent and Teekay owns approximately 14 percent of the common units of Teekay Offshore;
  • Brookfield acquired from Teekay both a 49 percent interest in TOO GP in exchange for $4 million and an option to acquire an additional two percent of TOO GP, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, in exchange for 1.0 million of the Warrants issued to Brookfield;
  • Teekay Offshore repurchased and canceled 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. Concurrently, Teekay Offshore's Series D tranche B warrants to purchase common units issued on June 29, 2016, were amended to reduce the exercise price from $6.05 to $4.55;
  • Teekay Offshore extended the mandatory prepayment date for the Arendal Spirit UMS debt facility to September 30, 2018 in exchange for a principal prepayment of $30 million;
  • Brookfield acquired 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 issued to Brookfield. Brookfield extended the maturity date of the loan from 2019 to 2022;
  • Teekay Offshore transferred its shuttle tanker business into a new, wholly-owned, non-recourse subsidiary, Teekay Shuttle Tankers L.L.C. (ShuttleCo).  As part of the formation of ShuttleCo, a majority of Teekay Offshore's shuttle tanker fleet was refinanced with a new $600 million, five-year debt facility, and two 50 percent-owned vessels were 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, were transferred from Teekay Offshore to ShuttleCo;
  • All of Teekay Offshore's existing NOK bonds due to mature in late-2018 will 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 priced at a fixed coupon of 7.125 percent per annum; and
  • Certain financial institutions providing interest rate swaps to Teekay Offshore (i) lowered the fixed interest rate on the swaps, (ii) extended the termination option of the swaps by two years to 2021, and (iii) eliminated the financial guarantee and security package currently provided by Teekay in return for a prepayment amount and fees.

Randgrid FSO Commences Charter Contract with Statoil

In early October 2017, the Randgrid FSO unit, which was converted from one of the Partnership’s shuttle tankers at Sembcorp’s Sembawang shipyard in Singapore, commenced its charter contract with Statoil on the Gina Krog oil and gas field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.

Voyageur Spirit FPSO Head of Terms

In November 2017, the Partnership entered into a heads of terms with Premier Oil to extend the employment of the Voyageur Spirit FPSO unit on the Huntington field for an additional twelve months out to April 2019. The new contract, which will take effect in April 2018, will include a fixed charter rate component plus and upside component based on oil production and oil price.

Rio das Ostras FPSO to be Redelivered as Scheduled

The Partnership received notice from the charterer, Petrobras, that it plans to redeliver the Rio das Ostras FPSO unit to Teekay Offshore upon completion of the unit's firm charter contract in January 2018.  As a result, the Partnership is seeking redeployment opportunities.

Delivery of East Coast Canada Shuttle Tanker Newbuildings

In October and November 2017, the Partnership took delivery of the first two East Coast Canada shuttle tanker newbuildings, the Beothuk Spirit and Norse Spirit, which are scheduled to commence long-term charters in December 2017 and January 2018 with a group of companies that includes Canada Hibernia Holding Corporation, Chevron Canada, Exxon Mobil, Husky Energy, Mosbacher Operating Ltd., Murphy Oil, Nalcor Energy, Statoil and Suncor Energy.  These newbuildings will replace two existing shuttle tankers that are currently operating in East Coast Canada, with the first replaced vessel transferring to the North Sea to provide required capacity in the Partnership's Contract of Affreighment (CoA) fleet and the second replaced vessel redelivering to its owner.

Delivery of Towage Newbuilding

In October 2017, the Partnership took delivery of the third of four state-of-the-art SX-157 Ulstein Design ultra-long distance towing and offshore installation newbuildings, the ALP Sweeper, constructed by Niigata Shipbuilding & Repair in Japan. Due to the delayed delivery of the vessel, the Partnership received a reimbursement from the shipyard of $8.1 million.

Operating Results

The following table highlights certain financial information for Teekay Offshore’s six segments: the FPSO segment, the shuttle tanker segment, the FSO segment, the UMS segment, the towage segment and the conventional tanker segment (please refer to the “Teekay Offshore’s Fleet” section of this release below and Appendices C through E for further details).

  2. Includes revenues and expenses earned and incurred between segments of Teekay Offshore, during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

FPSO Segment

Income from vessel operations and cash flow from vessel operations decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to the redelivery of the Petrojarl Varg FPSO unit at the end of July 2016 and higher operating expenses due to the timing of repairs and maintenance expenses. Income from vessel operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was also impacted by the write-downs of the Petrojarl I and Rio das Ostras FPSO units.

Shuttle Tanker Segment

Cash flow from vessel operations increased for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to: an increase in project revenues as certain shuttle tankers provided offloading services on the Gina Krog oil and gas field while waiting for the completion of the Randgrid FSO unit; higher CoA fleet utilization and higher average rates; higher charter renewal rates for the Petronordic and Petroatlantic tankers; and lower operating expenses due to the timing of repairs and maintenance. These increases were partially offset by: the sale of the Navion Europa in November 2016; higher time-charter hire expenses, primarily due to the in-charter of the Grena Knutsen commencing in September 2016; and higher general and administrative expenses mainly due to non-recurring legal fees. Loss from vessel operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 includes write-downs of the HiLoad DP unit and the Nordic Rio, Nordic Brasilia and Navion Marita DP1 shuttle tankers.

FSO Segment

Income from vessel operations and cash flow from vessel operations decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, mainly due to the redelivery of the Navion Saga following completion of its time-charter-out contract in October 2016. Teekay Offshore sold the Navion Saga in October 2017 for $7.4 million for recycling.

UMS Segment

Income from vessel operations and cash flow from vessel operations decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, mainly due to the non-payment of charter hire since November 2016 and the subsequent termination by Petrobras of the charter contract for the Arendal Spirit UMS in April 2017, along with approximately $3 million in restructuring costs associated with severance of crew and onshore support staff incurred in the third quarter of 2017 due to the lay-up of the unit.

Towage Segment

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

Conventional Tanker Segment

Income from vessel operations and cash flow from vessel operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were comparable to the same quarter of the prior year.

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 (loss) 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.

(1)    During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Partnership incurred a $316.7 million write-down related to the Petrojarl I FPSO unit due to increased costs and time associated with upgrade work on the unit, the Rio das Ostras FPSO unit due to the expected expiration of the charter in early-2018, three DP1 shuttle tankers as a result of a change in operational plans for the vessels, and the HiLoad DP unit due to a change in expectations for the future opportunities of the unit.

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 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

(2)    Realized (loss) gain 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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as part of the Brookfield Transaction, the Partnership amended certain interest rate swaps to lower the fixed rate interest rate on the swaps and recorded $38.0 million of related rate reset and transaction fees which are included in the realized loss relating to interest rate swaps in the table below.

(3)    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) gain includes a realized loss relating to the amounts the Partnership paid to settle its non-designated cross currency swaps and an unrealized gain relating to the change in fair value of such swaps, partially offset by an unrealized loss on the revaluation of the NOK bonds, as detailed in the table below. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Partnership recorded a $40.2 million realized loss relating to the partial termination of certain cross currency swaps, which was offset by a $40.2 million unrealized gain, and is included in the table below. During the nine months ended September 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.

(4)    In September and October 2017, the Partnership settled certain claims from CeFront Technology AS and Sevan Marine ASA , respectively, and reversed related contingent liabilities recorded in June 2016 arising from the cancellations of two UMS newbuildings. A net gain of $15.0 million is reported in Other income (expense) - net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

During 2016, the Partnership accrued for potential damages resulting from the cancellations of the UMS newbuildings and reversed other contingent liabilities previously recorded that were subject to the delivery of the UMS newbuildings. This net loss provision of $23.4 million was reported in Other income (expense) - net for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The UMS newbuilding contracts are held in separate subsidiaries of the Partnership and obligations of these subsidiaries are non-recourse to the Partnership.

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 estimated future cash flow from vessel operations to be provided by the Partnership’s existing growth projects once delivered; the contract terms related to the extension of the employment of the Voyageur Spirit FPSO unit on the Huntington field and the expected impact on the life of the Huntington field; the timing and cost of delivery and start-up of various newbuildings and conversion/upgrade projects and the commencement of related contracts; a potential offshore market recovery, including increased demand for shuttle tankers and FPSO units; the Rio das Ostras FPSO redeployment; the repurchase of existing NOK bonds; and the Partnership’s ability to benefit from future opportunities. 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 or vessel conversion and upgrade delays and cost overruns; delays in the commencement of charter contracts; the inability to negotiate acceptable terms and final documentation related to the Voyageur Spirit FPSO heads of terms; the ability of the Partnership to secure redeployment opportunities for the Rio das Ostras FPSO; 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.
