CEO Commentary
"Following the Partnership's strong cash flows generated in the second quarter of 2016, which were supplemented by a favorable charter dispute settlement, the Partnership continued to generate strong cash flows in the third quarter of 2016 with the delivery of the Oak Spirit MEGI LNG carrier newbuilding which commenced its five-year charter contract with Cheniere Energy in early-August 2016," commented Peter Evensen, Chief Executive Officer of Teekay GP LLC.
"We are pleased to report that our commercial team has now successfully secured charter contracts for all of our LNG carrier newbuildings," Mr. Evensen continued. "We have now secured a short-term charter contract with a major energy company and a new 15-year charter contract with the fully-financed Yamal LNG project for our two previously unchartered MEGI LNG carrier newbuildings delivering in early-2017 and early-2019, respectively."
"Securing long-term financing for our growth projects that deliver through early-2020 is a major focus," commented Mr. Evensen. "We continued to make significant progress and anticipate completing approximately $1.3 billion(1) in long-term financings for various growth projects over the next few months. In addition, the Partnership has again demonstrated its access to capital markets and has bolstered its liquidity position through the recent issuance of $125 million in preferred equity and $110 million of five-year Norwegian Kroner-denominated unsecured bonds in an over-subscribed offering."
Mr. Evensen added, "As announced last week, I have decided to retire after 11 years with the Partnership and I am confident that Mark Kremin is the right person going forward as the President and CEO of Teekay Gas Group Ltd. Mark is a highly experienced leader in the gas industry and has led the business and project development aspects of many of Teekay LNG's largest and most successful investments and, since December 2015, has headed up the teams responsible for the commercial and technical operations as well. We are well-positioned with a market-leading position, strong operations, a pipeline of built-in growth projects which are expected to provide significant cash flow growth, and a great team now led by Mark, while Teekay's existing corporate finance team continues to be responsible for our financings."
Summary of Recent Events
Secured Charter Contracts for Previously Uncommitted Newbuildings
In September 2016, the Partnership entered into a 15-year charter contract with the Yamal LNG project, sponsored by Novatek OAO, Total SA, China National Petroleum Corporation and Silk Road Fund (the Yamal LNG Project), to provide the Yamal LNG Project with conventional LNG transportation services. The Yamal LNG Project, which is now fully-financed, is currently scheduled to start production in late-2017. The charter contract will be serviced by one of the Partnership's previously unchartered 174,000 cubic meter (cbm) LNG carrier newbuildings that is scheduled for delivery in early-2019.
Additionally, in November 2016, the Partnership entered into a 10-month plus one-year option charter contract with a major energy company. The charter contract will be serviced by the Partnership's previously unchartered 173,400 cbm LNG carrier newbuilding that is scheduled for delivery in late-February 2017. Prior to the conclusion of this charter, the Partnership will seek to secure a long-term contract for this vessel.
(1) Based on Teekay LNG's proportionate ownership interests in the projects.

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 Gas Segment
Income from vessel operations and cash flow from vessel operations from consolidated vessels increased primarily due to the deliveries of the Creole Spirit and Oak Spirit MEGI LNG carrier newbuildings, which commenced their five-year charter contracts with Cheniere Energy in late-February 2016 and early-August 2016, respectively.
Equity income and cash flow from vessel operations from equity accounted vessels decreased primarily due to the impact of lower mid-sized LPG carrier spot rates, unscheduled off-hire related to certain of the LPG carriers and the redelivery of an older in-chartered LPG carrier (net of the additions of three LPG carrier newbuildings delivered from September 2015 to June 2016) in the Partnership's 50 percent-owned joint venture with Exmar (or the Exmar LPG Joint Venture) and temporary deferral of a portion of the charter payments for the Marib Spirit and Arwa Spirit, effective January 2016, in the Partnership's 52 percent-owned LNG joint venture with Marubeni Corporation (or the MALT Joint Venture) as the charterer temporarily closed its LNG operations in 2015. Equity income was also impacted by unrealized gains on derivative instruments during the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to unrealized losses in the same period of the prior year.
Conventional Tanker Segment
Income from vessel operations and cash flow from vessel operations decreased primarily due to the sales of the Bermuda Spirit and Hamilton Spirit in April and May 2016, respectively, and lower charter rates upon the charterer exercising its one-year extension options between September 2015 to January 2016 for the European Spirit, African Spirit and Asian Spirit.

(iv) The Partnership's interest in these vessels is 50 percent.
Liquidity
In October 2016, the Partnership completed a public offering of $125 million of its 9.0% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units, raising net proceeds of $120.7 million. The net proceeds will be used for general partnership purposes, which may include debt repayments or funding installment payments on future newbuilding deliveries.
In October 2016, the Partnership issued NOK 900 million in senior unsecured bonds that mature in October 2021 in an oversubscribed offering in the Norwegian bond market. The Partnership entered into U.S. Dollar swap agreements relating to the new bond issuance, resulting in gross proceeds to the Partnership of approximately $110 million and a U.S. Dollar fixed-rate coupon of 7.72%. In connection with the new bond issuance, the Partnership agreed to repurchase NOK 292 million of the Partnership's Norwegian senior unsecured bonds maturing in May 2017 at a price of 101.50 of the principal amount of the repurchased bonds. The remaining proceeds will be used for general partnership purposes, which may include funding of newbuilding installments. Teekay LNG will apply for listing of the new bonds on the Oslo Stock Exchange.
As of September 30, 2016, the Partnership had total liquidity of $315.8 million (comprised of $268.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $47.4 million in undrawn credit facilities). Giving pro-forma effect to the $125 million preferred unit issuance and NOK 900 million bond issuance (net of associated NOK 292 million bond repurchase) in October 2016, the Partnership's total liquidity as at September 30, 2016 would have been approximately $490 million.

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.
Cash Flow from Vessel Operations
Cash flow from vessel operations (CFVO) represents income 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 and adjustments for direct financing leases to a cash basis, but includes realized gains or losses on the settlement of foreign currency forward contracts and a derivative charter contract. 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. CFVO is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors 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 the most directly comparable GAAP measures reflected in the Partnership's consolidated financial statements.
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted net income excludes from net income items of income or loss 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. Please refer to Appendix A of this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure reflected in the Partnership's consolidated financial statements.
Distributable Cash Flow
Distributable cash flow (DCF) represents net income 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, ineffectiveness for derivative instruments designated as hedges for accounting purposes, distributions relating to equity financing of newbuilding installments, 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. 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. Distributable cash flow is a quantitative standard used in the publicly-traded partnership investment community to assist in evaluating financial performance. Please refer to Appendix B of this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure reflected in the Partnership's consolidated financial statements.

(1) Loss on sale of vessels relates to to Centrofin Management Inc. (or
Centrofin) exercising its purchase options, under the 12-year charter
contracts, to acquire the Bermuda Spirit and Hamilton Spirit Suezmax
tankers during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Bermuda
Spirit was sold to Centrofin on April 15, 2016 and the Hamilton Spirit
was sold to Centrofin on May 17, 2016 for gross proceeds of $94
million. The Partnership received a total of $50 million from Centrofin
prior to the commencement of the two charters and thus, the purchase
option prices were lower than they would have been otherwise. Such
amounts received from Centrofin were accounted for under GAAP as
deferred revenue (prepayment of future charter payments) and not as a
reduction in the purchase price of the vessels, and was amortized to
revenues over the 12-year charter periods on a straight-line basis.
Approximately $28 million of the $50 million had been recognized to
revenues since the inception of the charters, which approximates the
$27 million loss on sale recognized in the first quarter of 2016.
(2) Equity income includes unrealized gains/losses on non-designated
derivative instruments and any ineffectiveness for derivative
instruments designated as hedges for accounting purposes:

-------------------------------------------------------------
(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 gain (loss) 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. The Partnership issued NOK 700 million,
NOK 900 million, and NOK 1,000 million of unsecured bonds between May
2012 and May 2015. Foreign currency exchange gain (loss) also includes
unrealized gains (losses) relating to the change in fair value of such
derivative instruments, partially offset by unrealized (losses) gains
on the revaluation of the NOK bonds as detailed in the table below:

(1) Unrealized foreign exchange (gains) losses 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 and
excludes the realized (losses) gains relating to the cross-currency
swaps for the NOK bonds.
(2) Reflects the unrealized 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.
(3) Reflects the ineffectiveness for derivative instruments designated as
hedges for accounting purposes. See note 3 to the Consolidated
Statements of Income included in this release for further details.
(4) 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 and any ineffectiveness for derivative
instruments designated as hedges for accounting purposes within the
Partnership's equity-accounted investments. See note 2 to the
Consolidated Statements of Income included in this release for further
details.
(5) 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 listed 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.

which had the effect of reducing the daily charter rates by $12,000 per
day for a duration of 24 months ended September 30, 2014. The cash
effect of the change in hire rates was not fully reflected in the
Partnership's statements of income as the change in the lease payments
was being recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
lease. In addition, the charterer of these two Suezmax tankers
exercised its purchase options on these two vessels as permitted under
the charter contracts and the vessels were redelivered during the
second quarter of 2016.

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 management's current views with respect to certain future events and performance, including statements regarding: the timing of newbuilding vessel deliveries and the commencement of related contracts; the timing of the Yamal LNG project start-up; the Partnership's intent to secure a long-term charter for newbuildings; and the Partnership's access to capital markets and the timing, amount and certainty of securing financing for the Partnership's committed growth projects. 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: potential shipyard and project construction delays, newbuilding specification changes or cost overruns; 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 Teekay LNG fleet; the inability of charterers to make future charter payments; the inability of the Partnership to renew or replace long-term contracts on existing vessels; the Partnership's and the Partnership's joint ventures' ability to secure financing for its existing newbuildings and projects; potential failure of the Yamal LNG project to be completed for any reason, including due to lack of funding as a result of existing or future sanctions against Russian entities and individuals, which may affect partners in the project; potential delays or cancellation of the Yamal LNG project; 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, 2015. 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.
