First Quarter of 2021 Compared to First Quarter of 2020

GAAP net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to the partners and preferred unitholders were positively impacted for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in operational claims under the Partnerships charter contracts and higher rates earned for certain of the Partnership's 50 percent-owned LPG carriers. These increases were partially offset by more scheduled dry dockings, redeployment of certain LNG carriers at lower rates, and the timing of certain vessel operating expenses during the first quarter of 2021.

GAAP net income attributable to the partners and preferred unitholders was also positively impacted by unrealized gains on non-designated derivative instruments in the first quarter of 2021, compared to unrealized losses in the first quarter of 2020, and by write-downs recorded on the Partnership's multi-gas carriers in the first quarter of 2020. These increases were partially offset by the realized loss on the termination of one of the Partnership's interest rate swap agreements associated with a debt refinancing completed in the first quarter of 2021.

First Quarter of 2021 Compared to Fourth Quarter of 2020

GAAP net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to the partners and preferred unitholders were positively impacted for the three months ended March31, 2021, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to a decrease in operational claims under the Partnerships charter contracts, lower repairs and maintenance expenses, and lower net interest expense during the first quarter of 2021. These increases were partially offset by redeployment of certain LNG carriers at lower rates and unscheduled off-hire for repairs.

GAAP net income attributable to the partners and preferred unitholders for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was also positively impacted by unrealized gains on non-designated derivative instruments and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains in the first quarter of 2021, compared to unrealized losses on non-designated derivative instruments and unrealized foreign currency exchange losses in the fourth quarter of 2020, and by certain asset write-downs recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to no asset write-downs in the first quarter of 2021. These increases were partially offset by the realized loss on the termination of one of the Partnership's interest rate swap agreements associated with a debt refinancing completed in the first quarter of 2021 and an increase in the unrealized credit loss provision recorded in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020.

CEO Commentary

"The strength of our fixed-rate LNG contract portfolio was evident again this quarter as Teekay LNG continued to generate strong earnings and cash flows even as the broader spot LNG shipping market declined from the high levels experienced during the recent winter period, commented Mark Kremin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Teekay Gas Group Ltd. This decline was short-lived, however, as LNG demand rebounded counter-seasonally in late-March and into the second quarter of 2021. We were able to take advantage of this strength by chartering out three LNG vessels, including one on a 12-month spot market-linked contract that allows us to achieve full utilization of the vessel while also retaining upside to strong markets. As a result of these recent charters, our LNG fleet is now 98 percent fixed for the remainder of 2021 and 89 percent fixed for 2022, providing us with a great deal of forward visibility on our business and cash flows."

Mr. Kremin continued, "In mid-April, we announced an increase to our quarterly common unit distribution by 15 percent, to $1.15 per unit per annum, which was our third consecutive annual double-digit increase to our distribution. Importantly, this increase is consistent with our balanced capital allocation strategy and we believe that this level of distribution is very well covered by stable, long-term contracts, which also enables the Partnership to continue delevering its balance sheet and retain financial flexibility to optimally allocate capital in the future as global demand for LNG continues to grow."

Summary of Recent Events

Chartering Activities

In April 2021, the Partnership secured a fixed-rate charter contract for the Oak Spirit MEGI LNG carrier, which is expected to commence in August or September 2021, for a period of one-year.

In March 2021, the Partnership secured a one-year, spot market-linked charter contract, with a one-year, fixed-rate option for the Creole Spirit MEGI LNG carrier. This new charter contract commenced in March 2021.

In March 2021, the charterer of the 52 percent-owned Arwa Spirit DFDE LNG carrier exercised its one-year option to extend the charter contract to May 2022 at a fixed-rate.

Financing Activities

In February 2021, the Partnership's 70 percent-owned joint venture with PT Berlian Laju Tanker (the Tangguh Joint Venture), refinanced its term loan which was scheduled to mature in 2021, by entering into a new, $191.5 million term loan maturing in February 2026.

Operating Results

The following table highlights certain financial information for Teekay LNGs segments: the Liquefied Natural Gas Segment and the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Segment (please refer to the Teekay LNGs Fleet section of this release below and Appendices D and E for further details).

Please refer to ?Definitions and Non-GAAP Financial Measures? and the Appendices to this release for (i) 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 Segment

Income from vessel operations and consolidated adjusted EBITDA(1) for the LNG segment for the three months ended March31, 2021, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, increased primarily due to a decrease in operational claims on certain of the Partnership's LNG carriers. This increase was partially offset by more scheduled dry dockings, redeployment of one LNG carrier at a lower rate and the timing of vessel operating expenditures for certain of the Partnership's LNG carriers during the first quarter of 2021.

Equity income and adjusted EBITDA from equity-accounted vessels(1) for the LNG segment for the three months ended March31, 2021, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, were negatively impacted primarily due to lower earnings from the Partnership's 52 percent-owned joint venture with Marubeni Corporation (the MALT Joint Venture) as a result of lower charter rates earned upon redeployment of the Marib Spirit, Arwa Spirit and Methane Spirit between May 2020 and February 2021, more off-hire days for scheduled dry dockings and unscheduled repairs, and an increase in vessel operating expenses in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 mainly due to the timing of certain expenditures.

In addition, GAAP equity income was positively impacted by unrealized gains on non-designated derivative instruments in the first quarter of 2021, compared to unrealized losses in the first quarter of 2020.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas Segment

Loss from vessel operations for the LPG segment for the three months ended March31, 2021 was lower, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, mainly as a result of write-downs recorded in the first quarter of 2020 on six multi-gas carriers.

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA(1) for the LPG segment for the three months ended March31, 2021 was comparable to the same quarter of the prior year.

Equity income and adjusted EBITDA from equity-accounted vessels(1) for the LPG segment for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, were positively impacted from higher charter rates earned in the Partnership's 50 percent-owned LPG joint venture with Exmar NV (the Exmar LPG Joint Venture). In addition, equity income for the LPG segment for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, was positively impacted by lower net interest expense and unrealized gains on non-designated derivative instruments in the first quarter of 2021, compared to unrealized losses in the first quarter of 2020.

These are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to ?Definitions and Non-GAAP Financial Measures? and the Appendices to this release for(1) 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.

Teekay LNG's Fleet

The following table summarizes the Partnerships fleet as of May 1, 2021. In addition, the Partnership owns a 30 percent interest in an LNG regasification terminal in Bahrain.

Number of Vessels Owned and In-Chartered Vessels^(i)LNG Carrier Fleet 47^(ii)LPG/Multi-gas Carrier Fleet 30^(iii)Total 77

(i) Includes vessels leased by the Partnership from third parties and accounted for as finance leases. (ii) The Partnership?s ownership interests in these vessels range from 20 percent to 100 percent. (iii) The Partnership?s ownership interests in these vessels range from 50 percent to 100 percent.

Liquidity

As of March31, 2021, the Partnership had total liquidity of $406.2 million (comprised of $163.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $242.7million in undrawn credit facilities) compared to $461.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The reduction in liquidity primarily relates to the swap termination payment and fees incurred in connection with the refinancing of the Tangguh Joint Ventures debt facility as well as drydocking and other capital modification expenditures incurred by the Partnership during the first quarter of 2021.

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 SEC. These non-GAAP financial measures which include Adjusted Net Income Attributable to the Partners and Preferred Unitholders, Distributable Cash Flow 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) 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 unrealized credit loss provisions, unrealized gains or losses on non-designated derivative instruments, write-downs of vessels, gains or losses on sales of vessels, foreign currency exchange gains or losses, adjustments for direct financing and sales-type 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 (loss) and equity income, respectively, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures reflected in the Partnerships consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted Net Income Attributableto the Partners and Preferred Unitholders excludes items of income or loss from GAAP net income (loss) that are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of the Partnerships financial results. The Partnership believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Partnerships 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 (loss), and refer to footnote (2) of the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for a reconciliation of adjusted equity income to equity income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure reflected in the Partnerships consolidated financial statements.

Distributable Cash Flow (DCF) represents GAAP net income (loss) adjusted for 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 losses on interest rate swap termination, unrealized credit loss provisions, distributions relating to preferred units, adjustments for direct financing and sales-type leases to a cash basis, unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses, write-downs of vessels, gains or losses on sales of vessels, and the Partnerships 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 Partnerships 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 (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure reflected in the Partnerships consolidated financial statements.

During the three months ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Partnership wrote-down four and six wholly-owned multi-gas carriers,(1) respectively, to their estimated fair values. The total impairment charges of $6.0 million and $45.0 million were included in write-down of vessels for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The Partnership?s proportionate share of items within equity income as identified in Appendix A of this release are detailed in the table below. By excluding these items from equity income, the Partnership believes the(2) 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.

The realized losses on non-designated derivative instruments relate to the amounts the Partnership actually paid to settle non-designated derivative(3) 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:

Three Months Ended March 31, December March 31, 31, 2021 2020 2020Realized losses relating to: Interest rate swap agreements (4,473 ) (5,106 ) (2,911 )Interest rate swap agreement termination^(i) (18,012 ) ? ?

The termination of an interest rate swap agreement during the three (i) months ended March 31, 2021 was in connection with a debt refinancing completed in February 2021 at a lower all-in interest rate. 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(4) 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 (Loss). Foreign currency exchange gain (loss) includes realized losses relating to the amounts the Partnership paid to settle the Partnership?s Norwegian Krone (NOK) denominated unsecured bonds and the associated non-designated cross currency swaps that were entered into as economic hedges in relation to the NOK denominated bonds. Foreign currency exchange gain (loss) also includes unrealized gains (losses) relating to the change in fair value of such derivative instruments and unrealized (losses) gain on the revaluation of the NOK bonds as detailed in the table below:

Three Months Ended March 31, December March 31, 31, 2021 2020 2020Realized losses on cross-currency swaps (1,345 ) (1,672 ) (1,817 )Unrealized gains (losses) on cross currency 5,129 29,001 (49,540 )swapsUnrealized (losses) gains on revaluation of NOK (1,189 ) (28,694 ) 53,973 bonds

Includes unrealized credit loss (provisions) reversals of $(3.7) million, $(5) (1.5) million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

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 managements current views with respect to certain future events and performance, including statements, among other things, regarding: the Partnerships ability to continue to generate strong earnings and cash flows despite market volatility and cyclicality; the counter-seasonal strength in LNG shipping rates and the Partnership's ability to derive benefits from any upside in market strength; the ability of the Partnership to fully utilize certain of its vessels; the ability of the Partnership to execute on its balanced capital allocation strategy including delevering of its balance sheet and returning capital to unitholders while pursuing growth, including expected increases in financial flexibility as a result of implementing such strategy; fixed charter coverage for the Partnership's LNG fleet for the remainder of 2021 and 2022; the ability of the Partnership to realize and receive the full benefits from its contractual backlog of revenue under its long-term charter contracts; the ability to continue to pay increased distributions on its common units; and the expected cash flows from, and the continued performance of, the Partnership's and its joint ventures' charter contracts.

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, including as a result of off-hire days or dry-docking requirements (both scheduled and unscheduled); delays in the Partnerships ability to successfully and timely complete dry dockings; 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; potential lack of cash flow to continue paying distributions on the Partnerships common units and other securities; 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, 2020. 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 Partnerships expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
