Refer to "Definitions of Non-GAAP(1) Financial Measures" and the "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" for a definition of this term and a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure, as used in this release, to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure..

These gross contracted cash flows include purchase obligations and exclude(2) purchase options, extensions, higher charter rate options and profit-sharing components.

Comments from Management:Bing Chen, President and CEO of Atlas, commented, "Our team continued to exceed expectations by delivering operational excellence and strong financial performance during the third quarter of 2021. As a result of our resilient business model focused on long term contracted cash flows, our financial performance has been unaffected by port congestion and supply chain disruptions. We are working closely with our customers through these operational challenges by leveraging our fully integrated platform to maintain industry-leading operational performance. In the third quarter, Seaspan continued exhibiting its market leadership by securing 25 newbuild vessel orders backed by long term charters. We also took delivery of the first vessel in our 70 vessel newbuild program approximately two months ahead of schedule. APR Energy delivered a solid performance, successfully executing two grid stabilization peaking power projects and is progressing on building a pipeline of longer-term projects."

"Atlas' consistent operational excellence and creative customer partnerships, coupled with our integrated platform, enables our team to deliver superior solutions for all stakeholders through all market cycles. We look forward to closing out the fourth quarter of 2021 with continued strong performance."

Graham Talbot, CFO of Atlas, commented, "Our third quarter performance reflected strong execution across the organization and the strength of our fully integrated and highly differentiated platform. We made substantial progress on key initiatives: securing funding for our newbuild program ahead of schedule and on highly competitive terms, continuing to optimize our capital structure, and broaden our access to key global financial markets. Financing of our newbuild program is materially ahead of schedule. Funding has been secured for 60 vessels and financing for the remaining 10 vessels is on track to be concluded by the end of the year. For the first time in the Company's 20-year history, we accessed the US institutional unsecured bond markets, issuing a $750 million bond into significant investor demand driving tightened pricing and a 50% upsize. We are confident in achieving our 2021 financial guidance, which was increased at the time we reported our second quarter financial results."

The change in contingent consideration asset relates to the mark to market impact of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of APR. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the sellers of APR agreed to compensate the Company for losses on cash repatriation from a foreign jurisdiction related to cash generated from specified contracts less relevant costs (the "Peso Contingent Asset Arrangement"). The seller's(1) indemnification obligations will end on April 30, 2022, or earlier if certain conditions are met. In February 2021, the sellers of APR further agreed to compensate the Company, subject to definitive documentation, for losses on sale or disposal of certain fixed asset and inventory items. The definitive documentation was executed on April 30, 2021. The value of compensation receivable from the sellers is accounted for as a contingent consideration asset.

Loss on foreign currency repatriation relates to losses recognized on cash repatriation from a foreign jurisdiction, where compensation is receivable(2) through the Peso Contingent Asset Arrangement. Compensation is made by the sellers in cash or return of previously issued equity, which is offset against the contingent consideration asset when received and therefore, is not reflected in the income statement.

Elimination and Other includes amounts relating to preferred shares, change(3) in contingent consideration asset, elimination of intercompany transactions and unallocated amounts.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes various financial measures that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These non-GAAP financial measures, which include FFO, FFO Per Share, Diluted ("FFO Per Share"), Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Diluted ("Adjusted EPS"), Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt and Total Borrowings, are intended to provide additional information and are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered substitutes for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of the non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool.

FFO and FFO PerShare represent net earnings adjusted for depreciation and amortization, gains/losses on sale, unrealized change in fair value of derivative instruments, loss on foreign currency repatriation, change in contingent consideration asset, preferred share dividends accumulated, impairment, loss on debt extinguishment and certain other items that management believes are not representative of its operating performance. FFO and FFO Per Share are useful performance measures because they exclude those items that management believes are not representative of its performance.

FFO and FFO Per Share are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings, earnings per share or any other indicator of the Company's performance required to be reported by GAAP. In addition, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Adjusted Earningsand Adjusted EPS represents net earnings adjusted for preferred share dividends accumulated, impairment, loss on debt extinguishment and other items that management believes are not representative of its ongoing performance.

Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings, net earnings per share or any other indicator of the Company's performance required to be reported by GAAP. In addition, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and the closest measure is net earnings. Management believes that these metrics are helpful in providing investors with information to assess the on-going operations of the business.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings before interest expense and income, tax expense, depreciation and amortization, impairments, write-down and gains/losses on sale, gains/losses on derivative instruments, loss on foreign currency repatriation, change in contingent consideration asset, loss on debt extinguishment, other expenses and certain other items that management believes are not representative of its operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors in assessing the Company's results from operations. Management believes that this measure is useful in assessing performance and highlighting trends on an overall basis. Management also believes that this performance measure can be useful in comparing its results with those of other companies, even though other companies may not calculate this measure in the same way. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net earnings. Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings, or any other indicator of the Company's performance required to be reported by GAAP.

Total Borrowings represents long-term debt and other financing arrangements, excluding deferred financing fees. Operating borrowings represents Total Borrowings less amounts related to vessels under construction.

Net Debtrepresents Total Borrowings before debt discount and fair value adjustments, net of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash.Operating Net Debt represents Net Debt less amounts related to vessels under construction.

Net Debtand Total Borrowings provide useful information to investors in assessing the Company's leverage. Management believes this measure is useful in assessing the Company's ability to settle contracted debt payments. Management also believes that this leverage measurement can be useful in comparing its position with those of other companies, even though other companies may not calculate this measure in the same way. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Net Debt and Total Borrowings is the total of long-term debt and other financing arrangements. Net Debt and Total Borrowings are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to long-term debt and other financing arrangements, or any other indicator of the Company's financial position required to be reported by GAAP.

Atlas expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether because of future events, new information, a change in Atlas' views or expectations, or otherwise. You should carefully review and consider the various disclosures included in Atlas' Annual Report and in Atlas' other filings made with the SEC that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect Atlas' businesses, prospects and results of operations.
