(Teekay LNG or the Partnership) (NYSE: TGP), today reported the Partnership’s results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019.Consolidated Financial Summary(1) These are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to “Definitions and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the Appendices to this release for definitions of these terms and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures as used in this release to the most directly comparable financial measures under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).Fourth Quarter of 2019 Compared to Fourth Quarter of 2018GAAP net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to the partners and preferred unitholders for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared to the same quarter in the prior year, were positively impacted by: earnings from the seven liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier newbuildings which delivered into the Partnership’s consolidated fleet and equity-accounted joint ventures between December 2018 and December 2019; higher earnings from the Torben Spirit upon redeployment at a higher charter rate in December 2018; a decrease in off-hire days for certain of the Partnership’s vessels; higher earnings from the Partnership’s 52 percent-owned joint venture with Marubeni Corporation (the MALT Joint Venture) as a result of the one-year charter contracts that were secured at higher rates for the Arwa Spirit and Marib Spirit in June and July 2019, respectively; higher earnings from the Partnership’s 50 percent-owned joint venture with Exmar NV (the Exmar LPG Joint Venture) from higher charter rates earned; and improved results from the Partnership’s seven multi-gas carriers. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in earnings due to the sale of the Partnership’s four remaining conventional crude oil tankers between October 2018 and October 2019.In addition, GAAP net income attributable to the partners and preferred unitholders was positively impacted for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, by various items, including  unrealized gains on non-designated derivative instruments in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to unrealized losses on non-designated derivative instruments in the fourth quarter of 2018; and the gain recognized in the fourth quarter of 2019 upon derecognition of vessels and reclassification as sales-type leases for the Partnership’s two LNG carriers on charter to Awilco, compared to impairment charges recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018 relating to the Partnership’s goodwill attributable to its liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) segment.CEO Commentary“For both the fourth quarter and the full year 2019, Teekay LNG recorded strong financial results through successfully completing our newbuilding program in late-2019 and securing attractive time-charters during the year,” commented Mark Kremin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Teekay Gas Group Ltd. “By virtue of having our LNG fleet 97 percent fixed through fiscal 2020, we are well-insulated from the current weakness in the spot LNG shipping market and the low price of natural gas in international markets,” commented Mr. Kremin. “Looking ahead to 2020, we remain confident that our results will fall within the anticipated guidance ranges for the year presented at our Investor Day event in November 2019, with adjusted net income between $2.60 to $3.10 per unit, which is 45 to 73 percent higher than our actual 2019 adjusted net income per unit of $1.79.”“In the fourth quarter of 2019, we concluded our 6-year, $3.5 billion newbuilding program with the successful delivery of our last two Yamal ice-breaking LNG newbuildings to our Yamal LNG Joint Venture, upon which they immediately commenced fixed-rate time-charter contracts. Notably, these LNG carriers were delivered approximately three months ahead of schedule, resulting in an additional three months of charter hire to our Yamal LNG Joint Venture. In addition, the Bahrain regasification terminal completed mechanical construction and commissioning. With our orderbook now complete and our fully-delivered LNG fleet fixed on period charters, the Partnership is expected to benefit from its long-term contracted cash flows, and to continue allocating capital in a manner that focuses on the delevering and strengthening of its balance sheet while also returning capital to unitholders.”Summary of Recent EventsBahrain LNG W.L.L. (BLNG), in which Teekay LNG owns a 30 percent interest, announced that it had completed the mechanical construction and commissioning of the Bahrain Regasification Terminal (Terminal) and that the customer had commenced payments to BLNG under its 20-year terminal use agreement in early-January 2020. BLNG also reported that the customer is looking forward to the commencement of commercial operations of the Terminal. The Bahrain Spirit floating storage unit (FSU) (which is 100 percent-owned by Teekay LNG) continues to be chartered to BLNG. Depending on the seasonal requirements for regasification services by the Terminal, BLNG may trade the Bahrain Spirit FSU in the short-term LNG shipping market. Regardless of the deployment strategy utilized by the customer, BLNG will receive its full contractual payments from the customer of the Terminal, and Teekay LNG will continue to receive its full, fixed-rate charter-hire for the Bahrain Spirit FSU from BLNG.In January 2020, Awilco fulfilled its obligation to repurchase two of Teekay LNG’s LNG carriers, Wilforce and Wilpride, for a total of over $260 million. Teekay LNG received net cash proceeds of over $100 million after the repayment of approximately $157 million of debt secured by these two vessels.In November and December 2019, the Partnership took delivery of the fifth and sixth 50 percent-owned ARC7 LNG carrier newbuildings, respectively, the Georgiy Ushakov and Yakov Gakkel, which immediately commenced their 26-year charter contracts servicing the Yamal LNG project.On October 16, 2019, the Partnership sold its last remaining conventional tanker, the Alexander Spirit, for net proceeds of $11.5 million.In December 2018, the board of directors of Teekay LNG’s general partner approved a $100 million common unit repurchase program. Since that time, the Partnership has repurchased a total of 2.825 million common units, or approximately 3.5 percent of the outstanding common units immediately prior to commencement of the program, for a total cost of $36.3 million, representing an average repurchase price of $12.85 per unit.Operating ResultsThe following table highlights certain financial information for Teekay LNG’s three segments: the Liquefied Natural Gas Segment, the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Segment and the Conventional Tanker Segment (please refer to the “Teekay LNG’s Fleet” section of this release below and Appendices D and E for further details). The Partnership sold its last conventional tanker in October 2019.(i) These are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to “Definitions and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the Appendices to this release for definitions of these terms and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures as used in this release to the most directly comparable financial measures under GAAP.Liquefied Natural Gas SegmentIncome from vessel operations and consolidated adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ for the liquefied natural gas segment for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, were positively impacted primarily by: the deliveries of two wholly-owned LNG carrier newbuildings (the Sean Spirit and Yamal Spirit) between December 2018 and January 2019; higher earnings from the Torben Spirit upon redeployment in December 2018 at a higher charter rate; and a decrease in off-hire days for certain of the Partnership’s vessels. In addition, income from vessel operations for the liquefied natural gas segment was positively impacted by the gain recognized in the fourth quarter of 2019 upon derecognition of vessels and reclassification as sales-type leases for the Partnership’s two LNG carriers on charter to Awilco.Equity income and adjusted EBITDA from equity-accounted vessels⁽¹⁾ for the liquefied natural gas segment for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, were positively impacted primarily by: the deliveries of four ARC7 LNG carrier newbuildings between June and December 2019 to the Partnership’s 50 percent-owned Yamal LNG Joint Venture; the delivery of an LNG carrier newbuilding in January 2019 to the Partnership’s 20 percent-owned joint venture with China LNG Shipping (Holdings) Limited, CETS Investment Management (HK) Co. Limited and BW LNG Investments Pte. Ltd. (the Pan Union Joint Venture); and higher earnings from the Partnership’s 52 percent-owned MALT Joint Venture as a result of the one-year charter contracts that were secured at higher rates for the Arwa Spirit and Marib Spirit in June and July 2019, respectively. In addition, GAAP equity income was positively impacted by unrealized gains on non-designated derivative instruments in the Partnership’s equity-accounted joint ventures in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to unrealized losses on designated and non-designated derivative instruments in the fourth quarter of 2018.Liquefied Petroleum Gas SegmentLoss from vessel operations and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ for the liquefied petroleum gas segment for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, were positively impacted by improved results from the Partnership’s seven multi-gas carriers, which earned higher spot revenues during the fourth quarter of 2019.Equity income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA from equity-accounted vessels⁽¹⁾ for the liquefied petroleum gas segment for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, were positively impacted by higher charter rates earned in the Partnership’s 50 percent-owned Exmar LPG Joint Venture.Conventional Tanker Segment(Loss) income from vessel operations and consolidated adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ for the conventional tanker segment for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, were negatively impacted by the sales of the African Spirit, European Spirit, Toledo Spirit and Alexander Spirit between October 2018 and October 2019.(1) These are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to “Definitions and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the Appendices to this release for definitions of these terms and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures as used in this release to the most directly comparable financial measures under GAAP.

Website: www.teekay.comDefinitions and Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis release includes various financial measures that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the SEC. These non-GAAP financial measures which include Adjusted Net Income Attributable to the Partners and Preferred Unitholders, Distributable Cash Flow, Total Adjusted Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, 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 across companies, 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.In 2018 and prior periods, the Partnership reported Cash Flow from Vessel Operations (CFVO), as a non-GAAP measure. In the first quarter of 2019, the Partnership made certain changes to its non-GAAP financial measures to more closely align with internal management reporting, annual reporting with the SEC under Form 20-F and metrics used by certain investors. CFVO from Consolidated Vessels and Total CFVO were replaced with Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Total Adjusted EBITDA, respectively, for current and comparative periods.Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresTotal Adjusted Revenues represents the Partnership’s voyage revenues from its consolidated vessels, as shown in the Partnership’s Consolidated Statements of Income, and its proportionate ownership percentage of the voyage revenues from its equity-accounted joint ventures, as shown in Appendix E of this release. Please refer to Appendix C and E of this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to voyage revenues and equity income, the most directly comparable GAAP measures reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements. The Partnership’s equity-accounted joint ventures are generally required to distribute all available cash to their owners. However, the timing and amount of dividends from each of the Partnership’s equity-accounted joint ventures may not necessarily coincide with the operating cash flow generated from each respective equity-accounted joint venture. The timing and amount of dividends distributed by the Partnership’s equity-accounted joint ventures are affected by the timing and amounts of debt repayments in the joint ventures, capital requirements of the joint ventures, as well as any cash reserves maintained in the joint ventures for operations, capital expenditures and/or as required under financing agreements.Adjusted EBITDA represents net 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 and goodwill write-downs, gains or losses on sales of vessels and equity-accounted investments, unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments, foreign exchange gains or losses, amortization of in-process contracts, adjustments for direct financing leases to a cash basis, and certain other income or expenses. 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 represents Adjusted EBITDA from vessels that are consolidated on the Partnership’s financial statements. Adjusted EBITDA from Equity-Accounted Vessels represents the Partnership’s proportionate share of Adjusted EBITDA from its equity-accounted vessels. The Partnership does not have the unilateral ability to determine whether the cash generated by its equity-accounted vessels is retained within the entity 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 any such distributions to the Partnership and other owners. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors and management to measure the operational performance of companies. Please refer to Appendices C and E of this release for reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to net income and equity income, respectively, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.Adjusted Net Income Attributable to the Partners and Preferred Unitholders excludes items of income or loss from GAAP net 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 income, and refer to footnote (3) of the Consolidated Statements of Income for a reconciliation of adjusted equity income to equity income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.Distributable Cash Flow (DCF) represents GAAP net income adjusted for gains or losses on sales of vessels and write-down of goodwill and vessels, depreciation and amortization expense, deferred income tax and other non-cash items, estimated maintenance capital expenditures, unrealized gains and losses from non-designated derivative instruments, realized loss on interest rate swap termination, ineffectiveness for derivative instruments designated as hedges for accounting purposes, distributions relating to equity financing of newbuilding installments, distributions relating to preferred units, adjustments for direct financing and sales-type leases to a cash basis, unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses, adjustments relating to additional tax indemnification payments, and the Partnership’s proportionate share of such items in its equity-accounted for investments. 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 income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.Teekay LNG Partners L.P.
Consolidated Statements of Income
(in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except unit and per unit data)(1) In December 2019, the Partnership recognized a gain of $14.3 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2019 on derecognition of two LNG carriers on charter to Awilco as they were reclassified as sales-type leases upon Awilco obtaining credit approval for a financing facility that would provide the funds necessary for Awilco to fulfill its purchase obligation to the Partnership. In September 2019, the Partnership recorded a write-down of $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and year ended December 31, 2019 on the Alexander Spirit, compared to a write-down of $13.0 million for the same vessel during the year ended December 31, 2018 to its then estimated fair value. In June 2018, the Partnership wrote-down four of its wholly-owned multi-gas carriers (the Napa Spirit, Pan Spirit, Camilla Spirit and Cathinka Spirit) and recorded an impairment charge of $33.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2018, the Partnership recorded an aggregate write-down of $7.9 million on the European Spirit and African Spirit conventional tankers.(2) For the three months and year ended December 31, 2019, the Partnership incurred restructuring charges of $0.3 million from subsidiaries of Teekay Corporation attributable to employees that previously supported the Partnership. In January 2019 and February 2018, the Toledo Spirit and Teide Spirit, respectively, were sold and as a result of these sales, the Partnership recorded restructuring charges of $2.9 million and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, relating to seafarer severance costs.
(3) The Partnership’s proportionate share of items within equity income as identified in Appendix A of this release is detailed in the table below. By excluding these items from equity income, the Partnership believes the resulting adjusted equity income is a normalized amount that can be used to better evaluate the financial performance of the Partnership’s equity-accounted investments. Adjusted equity income is a non-GAAP financial measure.(4) The realized (losses) gains on non-designated derivative instruments relate to the amounts the Partnership actually paid or received to settle non-designated derivative instruments and the unrealized gains (losses) on non-designated derivative instruments relate to the change in fair value of such non-designated derivative instruments, as detailed in the table below:(5) For accounting purposes, the Partnership is required to revalue all foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities based on the prevailing exchange rates at the end of each reporting period. This revaluation does not affect the Partnership’s cash flows or the calculation of distributable cash flow, but results in the recognition of unrealized foreign currency translation gains or losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.Foreign currency exchange (loss) gain includes realized losses relating to the amounts the Partnership paid to settle the Partnership’s non-designated cross currency swaps that were entered into as economic hedges in relation to the Partnership’s Norwegian Kroner (NOK) denominated unsecured bonds. Foreign currency exchange (loss) gain also includes unrealized gains (losses) relating to the change in fair value of such derivative instruments and unrealized (losses) gains on the revaluation of the NOK bonds as detailed in the table below:(6) Other (expense) income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and year ended December 31, 2019 included $1.4 million loss recognized relating to the Torben Spirit sale-leaseback refinancing completed in September 2019. In addition, other (expense) income for the year ended December 31, 2018 included a $53.0 million expense for the recognition of an additional tax indemnification guarantee liability recorded within the consolidated Teekay Nakilat Corporation (the RasGas II Joint Venture), which was settled in 2018.Teekay LNG Partners L.P.

Adjusted Net Income
(in thousands of U.S. Dollars)See Note 1 to the Consolidated Statements of Income included in this release for further details.See Note 2 to the Consolidated Statements of Income included in this release for further details.Unrealized foreign currency exchange losses (gains) primarily relate 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 unrealized (gains) losses on the cross currency swaps economically hedging the Partnership’s NOK bonds. This amount excludes the realized losses relating to the cross currency swaps for the NOK bonds. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Statements of Income included in this release for further details.Reflects the unrealized losses (gains) due to changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes in the Partnership’s equity-accounted investees. In addition, for the three months and year ended December 31, 2018, it includes the gain on sale by the Partnership of its 50 percent investment in its joint venture with Exmar NV, which owned the Excelsior LNG carrier (Excelsior Joint Venture); any ineffectiveness for derivative instruments designated as hedges for accounting purposes; and loss on sale of vessel within the Partnership’s equity-accounted joint ventures. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Statements of Income included in this release for further details.Reflects the unrealized (gains) losses due to changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Statements of Income included in this release for further details.Included in other items for the three months and year ended December 31,2019 are adjustments to reflect the impact of the reclassification of the Partnership’s two charter contracts with Awilco from operating leases to sale-type leases. Included in other items for the year ended December 31, 2018 is the additional tax indemnification guarantee liability of $53 million, as described in Note 6 to the Consolidated Statements of Income included in this release.Items affecting net income include items from the Partnership’s consolidated non-wholly-owned subsidiaries. The specific items affecting net income are 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 the other specific items affecting net income listed in the table.Teekay LNG Partners L.P.

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 production of LNG or LPG, either generally or in particular regions; changes in trading patterns or timing of start-up of new LNG liquefaction and regasification projects significantly affecting overall vessel tonnage requirements; changes in applicable industry laws and regulations and the timing of implementation of new laws and regulations; the potential for early termination of long-term contracts of existing vessels in the Partnership’s fleet; higher than expected costs and expenses; general market conditions and trends, including spot, multi-month and multi-year charter rates; inability of customers of the Partnership or any of its joint ventures to make future payments under  contracts; potential further delays to the formal commencement of commercial operations of the Bahrain Regasification Terminal; the inability of the Partnership to renew or replace long-term contracts on existing vessels; potential lack of cash flow to reduce balance sheet leverage or of excess capital available to allocate towards returning capital to unitholders; and other factors discussed in Teekay LNG Partners’ filings from time to time with the SEC, including its Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The Partnership expressly disclaims any obligation 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.
