In January 2009, we adopted an amendment to Financial Accounting Standards Board (or FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (or ASC)
810, Consolidations, which requires us to include the portion of net income (loss) that is attributable to the non-controlling interest as part of the
Company’s total net income (loss).
7
(3) Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, we use net revenues (defined as revenues less voyage expenses) as a measure of
equating revenues generated from voyage charters to revenues generated from time-charters, which assists us in making operating decisions
about the deployment of our vessels and their performance. Under time-charters the charterer pays the voyage expenses, which are all
expenses unique to a particular voyage, including any bunker fuel expenses, port fees, cargo loading and unloading expenses, canal tolls,
agency fees and commissions, whereas under voyage-charter contracts the ship-owner pays these expenses. Some voyage expenses are
fixed, and the remainder can be estimated. If we, as the ship-owner, pay the voyage expenses, we typically pass the approximate amount of
these expenses on to our customers by charging higher rates under the contract or billing the expenses to them. As a result, although revenues
from different types of contracts may vary, the net revenues after subtracting voyage expenses, which we call “net revenues,” are comparable
across the different types of contracts. We principally use net revenues, a non-GAAP financial measure, because it provides more meaningful
information to us than revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Net revenues are also widely used by investors and
analysts in the shipping industry for comparing financial performance between companies and to industry averages. The following table
reconciles net revenues with revenues.

(4) EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before restructuring
charges, unrealized foreign exchange (gain) loss, (gain) loss on sale of vessels and equipment – net of write-downs, goodwill impairment
charge, amortization of in-process revenue contracts, unrealized (gains) losses on derivative instruments, realized losses (gains) on interest
rate swaps, and share of unrealized losses (gains) on interest rate swaps in non-consolidated joint ventures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are
used as supplemental financial measures by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, as discussed
below.
•
•
Financial and operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA assist our management and security holders by increasing the
comparability of our fundamental performance from period to period and against the fundamental performance of other companies in our
industry that provide EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA-based information. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially
disparate effects between periods or companies of interest expense, taxes, depreciation or amortization (or other items in determining
Adjusted EBITDA), which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost
basis and which items may significantly affect net income between periods. We believe that including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a
financial and operating measure benefits security holders in (a) selecting between investing in us and other investment alternatives and (b)
monitoring our ongoing financial and operational strength and health in assessing whether to continue to hold our equity, or debt
securities, as applicable.
Liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA allow us to assess the ability of assets to generate cash sufficient to service debt, pay dividends
and undertake capital expenditures. By eliminating the cash flow effect resulting from our existing capitalization and other items such as
drydocking expenditures, working capital changes and foreign currency exchange gains and losses (which may very significantly from
period to period), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide a consistent measure of our ability to generate cash over the long term.
Management uses this information as a significant factor in determining (a) our proper capitalization (including assessing how much debt
to incur and whether changes to the capitalization should be made) and (b) whether to undertake material capital expenditures and how to
finance them, all in light of our dividend policy. Use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as liquidity measures also permits security holders to
assess the fundamental ability of our business to generate cash sufficient to meet cash needs, including dividends on shares of our
common stock and repayments under debt instruments.
Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating
activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and operating income, and these measures may vary among other companies.
Therefore, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
The following table reconciles our historical consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, and our historical consolidated Adjusted
EBITDA to net operating cash flow.

Risk Factors
The cyclical nature of the tanker industry may lead to volatile changes in charter rates, which may adversely affect our earnings.
Historically, the tanker industry has been cyclical, experiencing volatility in profitability due to changes in the supply of, and demand for, tanker
capacity and changes in the supply of and demand for oil and oil products. If the tanker market is depressed, our earnings may decrease,
particularly with respect to our spot tanker sub-segment, a subset of our conventional tanker segment, which accounted for approximately 12% and
19% of our net revenues during 2010 and 2009, respectively. The cyclical nature of the tanker industry may cause significant increases or
decreases in the revenue we earn from our vessels and may also cause significant increases or decreases in the value of our vessels. The factors
affecting the supply of and demand for tankers are outside of our control, and the nature, timing and degree of changes in industry conditions are
unpredictable.
Factors that influence demand for tanker capacity include:
•
•
demand for oil and oil products;
supply of oil and oil products;
9
•
•
•
•
regional availability of refining capacity;
global and regional economic and political conditions;
the distance oil and oil products are to be moved by sea; and
changes in seaborne and other transportation patterns.
Factors that influence the supply of tanker capacity include:
•
•
•
•
•
the number of newbuilding deliveries;
the scrapping rate of older vessels;
conversion of tankers to other uses;
the number of vessels that are out of service; and
environmental concerns and regulations.
Changes in demand for transportation of oil over longer distances and in the supply of tankers to carry that oil may materially affect our revenues,
profitability and cash flows.
Changes in the oil and natural gas markets could result in decreased demand for our vessels and services.
Demand for our vessels and services in transporting oil, petroleum products, LNG and LPG depend upon world and regional oil, petroleum and
natural gas markets. Any decrease in shipments of oil, petroleum products, LNG or LPG in those markets could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations. Historically, those markets have been volatile as a result of the many conditions and
events that affect the price, production and transport of oil, petroleum products, LNG or LPG, and competition from alternative energy sources. A
slowdown of the U.S. and world economies may result in reduced consumption of oil, petroleum products and natural gas and decreased demand
for our vessels and services, which would reduce vessel earnings.
Changes in the spot tanker market may result in significant fluctuations in the utilization of our vessels and our profitability.
During 2010 and 2009, we derived approximately 12% and 19%, respectively, of our net revenues from the vessels in our spot tanker sub-segment
(which includes vessels operating under charters with an initial term of less than one year). Our spot tanker sub-segment consists of conventional
crude oil tankers and product carriers operating on the spot tanker market or subject to time charters, or contracts of affreightment priced on a spot-
market basis or fixed-rate contracts with a term of less than one year. Part of our conventional Aframax and Suezmax tanker fleets and our large
and medium product tanker fleets are among the vessels included in our spot tanker sub-segment. Our shuttle tankers may also trade in the spot
tanker market when not otherwise committed to perform under time-charters or contracts of affreightment. Due to activity in the spot-charter market,
declining spot rates in a given period generally will result in corresponding declines in operating results for that period.
The spot-charter market is highly volatile and fluctuates based upon tanker and oil supply and demand. The successful operation of our vessels in
the spot-charter market depends upon, among other things, obtaining profitable spot charters and minimizing, to the extent possible, time spent
waiting for charters and time spent traveling unladen to pick up cargo. Future spot rates may not be sufficient to enable our vessels trading in the
spot tanker market to operate profitably or to provide sufficient cash flow to service our debt obligations.
Reduction in oil produced from offshore oil fields could harm our shuttle tanker and FPSO businesses.
As at December 31, 2010, we had 35 vessels operating in our shuttle tanker fleet and five FPSO units operating in our FPSO fleet. A majority of our
shuttle tankers and all of our FPSOs units earn revenue that depends upon the volume of oil we transport or the volume of oil produced from
offshore oil fields. Oil production levels are affected by several factors, all of which are beyond our control, including:
•
•
•
geologic factors, including general declines in production that occur naturally over time;
the rate of technical developments in extracting oil and related infrastructure and implementation costs; and
operator decisions based on revenue compared to costs from continued operations.
Factors that may affect an operator’s decision to initiate or continue production include: changes in oil prices; capital budget limitations; the
availability of necessary drilling and other governmental permits; the availability of qualified personnel and equipment; the quality of drilling
prospects in the area; and regulatory changes. In addition, the volume of oil we transport may be adversely affected by extended repairs to oil field
installations or suspensions of field operations as a result of oil spills, operational difficulties, strikes, employee lockouts or other labor unrest. The
rate of oil production at fields we service may decline from existing or future levels, and may be terminated, all of which could harm our business
and operating results. In addition, if such a reduction or termination occurs, the spot tanker market rates, if any, in the conventional oil tanker trades
at which we may be able to redeploy the affected shuttle tankers may be lower than the rates previously earned by the vessels under contracts of
affreightment, which would also harm our business and operating results.
The redeployment risk of FPSO units is high given their lack of alternative uses and significant costs.
FPSO units are specialized vessels that have very limited alternative uses and high fixed costs. In addition, FPSO units typically require substantial
capital investments prior to being redeployed to a new field and production service agreement. Unless extended, certain of our FPSO production
service agreements will expire during the next 7 years. Our clients may also terminate certain of our FPSO production service agreements prior to
their expiration under specified circumstances. Any idle time prior to the commencement of a new contract or our inability to redeploy the vessels at
acceptable rates may have an adverse effect on our business and operating results.
10
The duration of many of our shuttle tanker and FSO contracts is the life of the relevant oil field or is subject to extension by the field
operator or vessel charterer. If the oil field no longer produces oil or is abandoned or the contract term is not extended, we will no longer
generate revenue under the related contract and will need to seek to redeploy affected vessels.
Some of our shuttle tanker contracts have a “life-of-field” duration, which means that the contract continues until oil production at the field ceases. If
production terminates for any reason, we no longer will generate revenue under the related contract. Other shuttle tanker and floating storage and
off-take (or FSO) contracts under which our vessels operate are subject to extensions beyond their initial term. The likelihood of these contracts
being extended may be negatively affected by reductions in oil field reserves, low oil prices generally or other factors. If we are unable to promptly
redeploy any affected vessels at rates at least equal to those under the contracts, if at all, our operating results will be harmed. Any potential
redeployment may not be under long-term contracts, which may affect the stability of our business and operating results.
Charter rates for conventional oil and product tankers may fluctuate substantially over time and may be lower when we are attempting to
re-charter conventional oil or product tankers, which could adversely affect our operating results. Any changes in charter rates for LNG
or LPG carriers, shuttle tankers or FSO or FPSO units could also adversely affect redeployment opportunities for those vessels.
Our ability to re-charter our conventional oil and product tankers following expiration of existing time-charter contracts and the rates payable upon
any renewal or replacement charters will depend upon, among other things, the state of the conventional tanker market. Conventional oil and
product tanker trades are highly competitive and have experienced significant fluctuations in charter rates based on, among other things, oil, refined
petroleum product and vessel demand. For example, an oversupply of conventional oil tankers can significantly reduce their charter rates. There
also exists some volatility in charter rates for LNG and LPG carriers, shuttle tankers and FSO and FPSO units, which could also adversely affect
redeployment opportunities for those vessels.
Over time, the value of our vessels may decline, which could adversely affect our operating results.
Vessel values for oil and product tankers, LNG and LPG carriers and FPSO and FSO units can fluctuate substantially over time due to a number of
different factors. Vessel values may decline substantially from existing levels. If operation of a vessel is not profitable, or if we cannot re-deploy a
chartered vessel at attractive rates upon charter termination, rather than continue to incur costs to maintain and finance the vessel, we may seek to
dispose of it. Our inability to dispose of the vessel at a reasonable value could result in a loss on its sale and adversely affect our results of
operations and financial condition. Further, if we determine at any time that a vessel’s future useful life and earnings require us to impair its value
on our financial statements, we may need to recognize a significant charge against our earnings.
Our growth depends on continued growth in demand for LNG and LPG and LNG and LPG shipping as well as offshore oil transportation,
production, processing and storage services.
A significant portion of our growth strategy focuses on continued expansion in the LNG and LPG shipping sectors and on expansion in the shuttle
tanker, FSO and FPSO sectors.
Expansion of the LNG and LPG shipping sectors depends on continued growth in world and regional demand for LNG and LPG and LNG and LPG
shipping and the supply of LNG and LPG. Demand for LNG and LPG and LNG and LPG shipping could be negatively affected by a number of
factors, such as increases in the costs of natural gas derived from LNG relative to the cost of natural gas generally, increases in the production of
natural gas in areas linked by pipelines to consuming areas, increases in the price of LNG and LPG relative to other energy sources, the availability
of new energy sources, and negative global or regional economic or political conditions. Reduced demand for LNG or LPG and LNG or LPG
shipping would have a material adverse effect on future growth of our liquefied gas segment, and could harm that segment’s results. Growth of the
LNG and LPG markets may be limited by infrastructure constraints and community and environmental group resistance to new LNG and LPG
infrastructure over concerns about the environment, safety and terrorism. If the LNG or LPG supply chain is disrupted or does not continue to grow,
or if a significant LNG or LPG explosion, spill or similar incident occurs, it could have a material adverse effect on growth and could harm our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
Expansion of the shuttle tanker, FSO and FPSO sectors depends on continued growth in world and regional demand for these offshore services,
which could be negatively affected by a number of factors, such as:
•
•
•
•
•
decreases in the actual or projected price of oil, which could lead to a reduction in or termination of production of oil at certain fields we
service or a reduction in exploration for or development of new offshore oil fields;
increases in the production of oil in areas linked by pipelines to consuming areas, the extension of existing, or the development of new,
pipeline systems in markets we may serve, or the conversion of existing non-oil pipelines to oil pipelines in those markets;
decreases in the consumption of oil due to increases in its price relative to other energy sources, other factors making consumption of oil
less attractive or energy conservation measures;
availability of new, alternative energy sources; and
negative global or regional economic or political conditions, particularly in oil consuming regions, which could reduce energy consumption
or its growth.
Reduced demand for offshore marine transportation, production, processing or storage services would have a material adverse effect on our future
growth and could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
11
The intense competition in our markets may lead to reduced profitability or expansion opportunities.
Our vessels operate in highly competitive markets. Competition arises primarily from other vessel owners, including major oil companies and
independent companies. We also compete with owners of other size vessels. Our market share is insufficient to enforce any degree of pricing
discipline in the markets in which we operate and our competitive position may erode in the future. Any new markets that we enter could include
participants that have greater financial strength and capital resources than we have. We may not be successful in entering new markets.
One of our objectives is to enter into additional long-term, fixed-rate time charters for our LNG and LPG carriers, shuttle tankers, FSO and FPSO
units. The process of obtaining new long-term time charters is highly competitive and generally involves an intensive screening process and
competitive bids, and often extends for several months. We expect substantial competition for providing services for potential LNG, LPG, shuttle
tanker, FSO and FPSO projects from a number of experienced companies, including state-sponsored entities and major energy companies. Some
of these competitors have greater experience in these markets and greater financial resources than do we. We anticipate that an increasing number
of marine transportation companies, including many with strong reputations and extensive resources and experience will enter the LNG and LPG
transportation, shuttle tanker, FSO and FPSO sectors. This increased competition may cause greater price competition for time-charters. As a result
of these factors, we may be unable to expand our relationships with existing customers or to obtain new customers on a profitable basis, if at all,
which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The loss of any key customer or its inability to pay for our services could result in a significant loss of revenue in a given period.
We have derived, and believe that we will continue to derive, a significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of customers. Three
customers, international oil companies, accounted for an aggregate of 38% ($778.6 million) of our consolidated revenues during 2010 (2009 - for
33% or $716.5 million, 2008 - for 27% or $884.2 million). The loss of any significant customer or a substantial decline in the amount of services
requested by a significant customer, or the inability of a significant customer to pay for our services, could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Future adverse economic conditions, including disruptions in the global credit markets, could adversely affect our results of operations.
The global economy recently experienced an economic downturn and crisis in the global financial markets that produced illiquidity in the capital
markets, market volatility, heightened exposure to interest rate and credit risks and reduced access to capital markets. If there is economic instability
in the future, we may face restricted access to the capital markets or secured debt lenders, such as our revolving credit facilities. The decreased
access to such resources could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our operations are subject to substantial environmental and other regulations, which may significantly increase our expenses.
Our operations are affected by extensive and changing international, national and local environmental protection laws, regulations, treaties and
conventions in force in international waters, the jurisdictional waters of the countries in which our vessels operate, as well as the countries of our
vessels’ registration, including those governing oil spills, discharges to air and water, and the handling and disposal of hazardous substances and
wastes. Many of these requirements are designed to reduce the risk of oil spills and other pollution. In addition, we believe that the heightened
environmental, quality and security concerns of insurance underwriters, regulators and charterers will lead to additional regulatory requirements,
including enhanced risk assessment and security requirements and greater inspection and safety requirements on vessels. We expect to incur
substantial expenses in complying with these laws and regulations, including expenses for vessel modifications and changes in operating
procedures.
These requirements can affect the resale value or useful lives of our vessels, require a reduction in cargo capacity, ship modifications or operational
changes or restrictions, lead to decreased availability of insurance coverage for environmental matters or result in the denial of access to certain
jurisdictional waters or ports, or detention in, certain ports. Under local, national and foreign laws, as well as international treaties and conventions,
we could incur material liabilities, including cleanup obligations, in the event that there is a release of petroleum or other hazardous substances from
our vessels or otherwise in connection with our operations. We could also become subject to personal injury or property damage claims relating to
the release of or exposure to hazardous materials associated with our operations. In addition, failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations
may result in administrative and civil penalties, criminal sanctions or the suspension or termination of our operations, including, in certain instances,
seizure or detention of our vessels. For further information about regulations affecting our business and related requirements on us, please read
Item 4. “Information on the Company—B. Operations—Regulations.“
We may be unable to make or realize expected benefits from acquisitions, and implementing our strategy of growth through acquisitions
may harm our financial condition and performance.
A principal component of our strategy is to continue to grow by expanding our business both in the geographic areas and markets where we have
historically focused as well as into new geographic areas, market segments and services. We may not be successful in expanding our operations
and any expansion may not be profitable. Our strategy of growth through acquisitions involves business risks commonly encountered in acquisitions
of companies, including:
•
•
•
•
•
interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of one or more of an acquired company’s businesses and our businesses;
additional demands on members of our senior management while integrating acquired businesses, which would decrease the time they
have to manage our existing business, service existing customers and attract new customers;
difficulties in integrating the operations, personnel and business culture of acquired companies;
difficulties of coordinating and managing geographically separate organizations;
adverse effects on relationships with our existing suppliers and customers, and those of the companies acquired;
12
•
•
difficulties entering geographic markets or new market segments in which we have no or limited experience; and
loss of key officers and employees of acquired companies.
Acquisitions may not be profitable to us at the time of their completion and may not generate revenues sufficient to justify our investment. In
addition, our acquisition growth strategy exposes us to risks that may harm our results of operations and financial condition, including risks that we
may: fail to realize anticipated benefits, such as cost-savings, revenue and cash flow enhancements and earnings accretion; decrease our liquidity
by using a significant portion of our available cash or borrowing capacity to finance acquisitions; incur additional indebtedness, which may result in
significantly increased interest expense or financial leverage, or issue additional equity securities to finance acquisitions, which may result in
significant shareholder dilution; incur or assume unanticipated liabilities, losses or costs associated with the business acquired; or incur other
significant charges, such as impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets, asset devaluation or restructuring charges.
The strain that growth places upon our systems and management resources may harm our business.
Our growth has placed and we believe it will continue to place significant demands on our management, operational and financial resources. As we
expand our operations, we must effectively manage and monitor operations, control costs and maintain quality and control in geographically
dispersed markets. In addition, our three publicly traded subsidiaries have increased our complexity and placed additional demands on our
management. Our future growth and financial performance will also depend on our ability to recruit, train, manage and motivate our employees to
support our expanded operations and continue to improve our customer support, financial controls and information systems.
These efforts may not be successful and may not occur in a timely or efficient manner. Failure to effectively manage our growth and the system and
procedural transitions required by expansion in a cost-effective manner could have a material adverse affect on our business.
Our insurance may not be sufficient to cover losses that may occur to our property or as a result of our operations.
The operation of oil and product tankers, LNG and LPG carriers, and FSO and FPSO units is inherently risky. Although we carry hull and machinery
(marine and war risk) and protection and indemnity insurance, all risks may not be adequately insured against, and any particular claim may not be
paid. In addition, except for certain LNG carriers, we do not generally carry insurance on our vessels covering the loss of revenues resulting from
vessel offhire time based on its cost compared to our offhire experience. Any significant offhire time of our vessels could harm our business,
operating results and financial condition. Any claims relating to our operations covered by insurance would be subject to deductibles, and since it is
possible that a large number of claims may be brought, the aggregate amount of these deductibles could be material. Certain of our insurance
coverage is maintained through mutual protection and indemnity associations and as a member of such associations we may be required to make
additional payments over and above budgeted premiums if member claims exceed association reserves.
We may be unable to procure adequate insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates in the future. For example, more stringent
environmental regulations have led in the past to increased costs for, and in the future may result in the lack of availability of, insurance against risks
of environmental damage or pollution. A catastrophic oil spill or marine disaster could result in losses that exceed our insurance coverage, which
could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Any uninsured or underinsured loss could harm our business and financial
condition. In addition, our insurance may be voidable by the insurers as a result of certain of our actions, such as our ships failing to maintain
certification with applicable maritime self-regulatory organizations.
Changes in the insurance markets attributable to terrorist attacks may also make certain types of insurance more difficult for us to obtain. In
addition, the insurance that may be available may be significantly more expensive than our existing coverage.
Marine transportation is inherently risky, and an incident involving significant loss of or environmental contamination by any of our
vessels could harm our reputation and business.
Our vessels and their cargoes are at risk of being damaged or lost because of events such as:
• marine disaster;
•
bad weather;
• mechanical failures;
•
•
•
•
grounding, fire, explosions and collisions;
piracy;
human error; and
war and terrorism.
An accident involving any of our vessels could result in any of the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
death or injury to persons, loss of property or environmental damage or pollution;
delays in the delivery of cargo;
loss of revenues from or termination of charter contracts;
governmental fines, penalties or restrictions on conducting business;
higher insurance rates; and
damage to our reputation and customer relationships generally.
13
Any of these results could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
Our operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations.
We operate our conventional tankers in markets that have historically exhibited seasonal variations in demand and, therefore, in charter rates. This
seasonality may result in quarter-to-quarter volatility in our results of operations. Tanker markets are typically stronger in the winter months as a
result of increased oil consumption in the Northern Hemisphere. In addition, unpredictable weather patterns in these months tend to disrupt vessel
scheduling, which historically has increased oil price volatility and oil trading activities in the winter months. As a result, our revenues have
historically been weaker during the fiscal quarters ended June 30 and September 30, and stronger in our fiscal quarters ended March 31 and
December 31.
Due to harsh winter weather conditions, oil field operators in the North Sea typically schedule oil platform and other infrastructure repairs and
maintenance during the summer months. Because the North Sea is our primary existing offshore oil market, this seasonal repair and maintenance
activity contributes to quarter-to-quarter volatility in our results of operations, as oil production typically is lower in the fiscal quarters ended June 30
and September 30 in this region compared with production in the fiscal quarters ended March 31 and December 31. Because a number of our North
Sea shuttle tankers operate under contracts of affreightment, under which revenue is based on the volume of oil transported, the results of our
shuttle tanker operations in the North Sea under these contracts generally reflect this seasonal production pattern. When we redeploy affected
shuttle tankers as conventional oil tankers while platform maintenance and repairs are conducted, the overall financial results for our North Sea
shuttle tanker operations may be negatively affected if the rates in the conventional oil tanker markets are lower than the contract of affreightment
rates. In addition, we seek to coordinate some of the general drydocking schedule of our fleet with this seasonality, which may result in lower
revenues and increased drydocking expenses during the summer months.
We expend substantial sums during construction of newbuildings and the conversion of tankers to FPSO or FSO units without earning
revenue and without assurance that they will be completed.
We are typically required to expend substantial sums as progress payments during construction of a newbuilding or vessel conversion, but we do
not derive any revenue from the vessel until after its delivery. In addition, under some of our time charters if our delivery of a vessel to a customer is
delayed, we may be required to pay liquidated damages in amounts equal to or, under some charters, almost double the hire rate during the delay.
For prolonged delays, the customer may terminate the time charter and, in addition to the resulting loss of revenues, we may be responsible for
additional substantial liquidated charges.
Substantially all of our newbuilding financing commitments have been pre-arranged. However, if we were unable to obtain financing required to
complete payments on any of our newbuilding orders, we could effectively forfeit all or a portion of the progress payments previously made. As of
December 31, 2010, we had 11 newbuildings on order with deliveries scheduled between the second quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of
2013. As of December 31, 2010, progress payments made towards these newbuildings, excluding payments made by our joint venture partners,
totaled $177.6 million.
In addition, conversion of tankers to FPSO and FSO units expose us to a numbers of risks, including lack of shipyard capacity and the difficulty of
completing the conversion in a timely and cost effective manner. During conversion of a vessel, we do not earn revenue from it. In addition,
conversion projects may not be successful.
We make substantial capital expenditures to expand the size of our fleet. Depending on whether we finance our expenditures through
cash from operations or by issuing debt or equity securities, our financial leverage could increase or our stockholders could be diluted.
We regularly evaluate and pursue opportunities to provide the marine transportation requirements for various projects, and we have currently
submitted bids to provide transportation solutions for LNG and LPG and FPSO projects. We may submit additional bids from time to time. The
award process relating to LNG and LPG transportation and FPSO opportunities typically involves various stages and takes several months to
complete. If we bid on and are awarded contracts relating to any LNG and LPG and FPSO project, we will need to incur significant capital
expenditures to build the related LNG and LPG carriers and FPSO units.
To fund the remaining portion of existing or future capital expenditures, we will be required to use cash from operations or incur borrowings or raise
capital through the sale of debt or additional equity securities. Our ability to obtain bank financing or to access the capital markets for future offerings
may be limited by our financial condition at the time of any such financing or offering as well as by adverse market conditions resulting from, among
other things, general economic conditions and contingencies and uncertainties that are beyond our control. Our failure to obtain the funds for
necessary future capital expenditures could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Even if we
are successful in obtaining necessary funds, incurring additional debt may significantly increase our interest expense and financial leverage, which
could limit our financial flexibility and ability to pursue other business opportunities. Issuing additional equity securities may result in significant
stockholder dilution and would increase the aggregate amount of cash required to pay quarterly dividends.
Exposure to currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations results in fluctuations in our cash flows and operating results.
Substantially all of our revenues are earned in U.S. Dollars, although we are paid in Euros, Australian Dollars, Norwegian Kroner and British Pounds
under some of our charters. A portion of our operating costs are incurred in currencies other than U.S. Dollars. This partial mismatch in operating
revenues and expenses leads to fluctuations in net income due to changes in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies, in particular
the Norwegian Kroner, the Australian Dollar, the Canadian Dollar, the Singapore Dollar, the Japanese Yen, the British Pound and the Euro. We also
make payments under two Euro-denominated term loans. If the amount of these and other Euro-denominated obligations exceeds our Euro-
denominated revenues, we must convert other currencies, primarily the U.S. Dollar, into Euros. An increase in the strength of the Euro relative to the
U.S. Dollar would require us to convert more U.S. Dollars to Euros to satisfy those obligations.
Because we report our operating results in U.S. Dollars, changes in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to other currencies also result in fluctuations
of our reported revenues and earnings. Under U.S. accounting guidelines, all foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, such as
cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable, long-term debt and capital lease obligations, are revalued and
14
reported based on the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the period. This revaluation historically has caused us to report significant unrealized
foreign currency exchange gains or losses each period. For 2010 and 2009, we had foreign exchange gains (losses) of $32.0 million and $(20.9)
million, respectively. The primary source of these gains and losses is our Euro-denominated term loans.
Many of our seafaring employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements and the failure to renew those agreements or any
future labor agreements may disrupt operations and adversely affect our cash flows.
A significant portion of our seafarers are employed under collective bargaining agreements. We may become subject to additional labor agreements
in the future. We may suffer to labor disruptions if relationships deteriorate with the seafarers or the unions that represent them. Our collective
bargaining agreements may not prevent labor disruptions, particularly when the agreements are being renegotiated. Salaries are typically
renegotiated annually or bi-annually for seafarers and annually for onshore operational staff and may increase our cost of operation. Any labor
disruptions could harm our operations and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We may be unable to attract and retain qualified, skilled employees or crew necessary to operate our business.
Our success depends in large part on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified personnel. In crewing our vessels, we require
technically skilled employees with specialized training who can perform physically demanding work. Competition to attract and retain qualified crew
members is intense. If crew costs increase, and we are not able to increase our rates to customers to compensate for any crew cost increases, our
financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. Any inability we experience in the future to hire, train and retain a sufficient
number of qualified employees could impair our ability to manage, maintain and grow our business.
Terrorist attacks, piracy, increased hostilities or war could lead to further economic instability, increased costs and disruption of
business.
Terrorist attacks, piracy and the current conflicts in the Middle East, Afghanistan and Libya and other current and future conflicts, may adversely
affect our business, operating results, financial condition, and ability to raise capital and future growth. Continuing hostilities in the Middle East may
lead to additional armed conflicts or to further acts of terrorism and civil disturbance in the United States or elsewhere, which may contribute further
to economic instability and disruption of oil production and distribution, which could result in reduced demand for our services.
In addition, oil facilities, shipyards, vessels, pipelines and oil fields could be targets of future terrorist attacks and our vessels could be targets of
pirates or hijackers. Any such attacks could lead to, among other things, bodily injury or loss of life, vessel or other property damage, increased
vessel operational costs, including insurance costs, and the inability to transport oil to or from certain locations. Terrorist attacks, war, piracy,
hijacking or other events beyond our control that adversely affect the distribution, production or transportation of oil to be shipped by us could entitle
customers to terminate the charters and impact the use of shuttle tankers under contracts of affreightment, which would harm our cash flow and
business.
Acts of piracy on ocean-going vessels have recently increased in frequency, which could adversely affect our business.
Acts of piracy have historically affected ocean-going vessels trading in regions of the world such as the South China Sea and the Gulf of Aden off
the coast of Somalia. Throughout 2010, the frequency and severity of piracy incidents increased significantly, particularly in the Gulf of Aden and
Indian Ocean. If these piracy attacks result in regions in which our vessels are deployed being named on the Joint War Committee Listed Areas, war
risk insurance premiums payable for such coverage can increase significantly and such insurance coverage may be more difficult to obtain. In
addition, crew costs, including costs which may be incurred to the extent we employ onboard security guards, could increase in such circumstances.
We may not be adequately insured to cover losses from these incidents, which could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, detention
hijacking as a result of an act of piracy against our vessels, or an increase in cost or unavailability of insurance for our vessels, could have a
material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our substantial operations outside the United States expose us to political, governmental and economic instability, which could harm our
operations.
Because our operations are primarily conducted outside of the United States, they may be affected by economic, political and governmental
conditions in the countries where we engage in business or where our vessels are registered. Any disruption caused by these factors could harm
our business, including by reducing the levels of oil exploration, development and production activities in these areas. We derive some of our
revenues from shipping oil from politically unstable regions. Conflicts in these regions have included attacks on ships and other efforts to disrupt
shipping. Hostilities or other political instability in regions where we operate or where we may operate could have a material adverse effect on the
growth of our business, results of operations and financial condition and ability to make cash distributions. In addition, tariffs, trade embargoes and
other economic sanctions by the United States or other countries against countries to which we trade may limit trading activities with those
countries, which could also harm our business and ability to make cash distributions. Finally, a government could requisition one or more of our
vessels, which is most likely during war or national emergency. Any such requisition would cause a loss of the vessel and could harm our cash flow
and financial results.
Maritime claimants could arrest our vessels, which could interrupt our cash flow.
Crew members, suppliers of goods and services to a vessel, shippers of cargo and other parties may be entitled to a maritime lien against that
vessel for unsatisfied debts, claims or damages. In many jurisdictions, a maritime lienholder may enforce its lien by arresting a vessel through
foreclosure proceedings. The arrest or attachment of one or more of our vessels could interrupt our cash flow and require us to pay large sums of
funds to have the arrest or attachment lifted. In addition, in some jurisdictions, such as South Africa, under the “sister ship” theory of liability, a
claimant may arrest both the vessel that is subject to the claimant’s maritime lien and any “associated” vessel, which is any vessel owned or
controlled by the same owner. Claimants could try to assert “sister ship” liability against one vessel in our fleet for claims relating to another of our
ships.
15
Declining market values of our vessels could adversely affect our liquidity and result in breaches of our financing agreements.
Market values of vessels fluctuate depending upon general economic and market conditions affecting relevant markets and industries and
competition from other shipping companies and other modes of transportation. In addition, as vessels become older, they generally decline in value.
Declining vessel values of our tankers could adversely affect our liquidity by limiting our ability to raise cash by refinancing vessels. Declining vessel
values could also result in a breach of loan covenants and events of default under certain of our credit facilities that require us to maintain certain
loan-to-value ratios. If we are unable to pledge additional collateral in the event of a decline in vessel values, the lenders under these facilities could
accelerate our debt and foreclose on our vessels pledged as collateral for the loans. As of December 31, 2010, the total outstanding debt under
credit facilities with this type of covenant tied to conventional tanker values was $169.3 million.
Climate change and greenhouse gas restrictions may adversely impact our operations and markets.
Due to concern over the risk of climate change, a number of countries have adopted, or are considering the adoption of, regulatory frameworks to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These regulatory measures include, among others, adoption of cap and trade regimes, carbon taxes, increased
efficiency standards, and incentives or mandates for renewable energy. Compliance with changes in laws, regulations and obligations relating to
climate change could increase our costs related to operating and maintaining our vessels and require us to install new emission controls, acquire
allowances or pay taxes related to our greenhouse gas emissions, or administer and manage a greenhouse gas emissions program. Revenue
generation and strategic growth opportunities may also be adversely affected.
Adverse effects upon the oil and gas industry relating to climate change may also adversely affect demand for our services. Although we do not
expect that demand for oil and gas will lessen dramatically over the short-term, in the long-term climate change may reduce the demand for oil and
gas or increased regulation of greenhouse gases may create greater incentives for use of alternative energy sources. Any long-term material
adverse effect on the oil and gas industry could have a significant financial and operational adverse impact on our business that we cannot predict
with certainty at this time.
We have substantial debt levels and may incur additional debt.
As of December 31, 2010, our consolidated debt and capital lease obligations totaled $5.2 billion and we had the capacity to borrow an additional
$1.6 billion under our credit facilities. These credit facilities may be used by us for general corporate purposes. Our consolidated debt and capital
lease obligations could increase substantially. We will continue to have the ability to incur additional debt, subject to limitations in our credit facilities.
Our level of debt could have important consequences to us, including:
•
our ability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other purposes may be
impaired or such financing may not be available on favorable terms;
• we will need a substantial portion of our cash flow to make principal and interest payments on our debt, reducing the funds that would
otherwise be available for operations, future business opportunities and dividends to stockholders;
•
•
our debt level may make us more vulnerable than our competitors with less debt to competitive pressures or a downturn in our industry or
the economy generally; and
our debt level may limit our flexibility in obtaining additional financing, pursuing other business opportunities and responding to changing
business and economic conditions.
Our ability to service our debt will depend on certain financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
Our ability to service our debt will depend upon, among other things, our future financial and operating performance, which will be affected by
prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, we rely on
distributions and other intercompany cash flows from our subsidiaries to repay our obligations. Financing arrangements between some of our
subsidiaries and their respective lenders contain restrictions on distributions from such subsidiaries.
If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt service requirements, we may be forced to take actions such as:
•
•
•
•
•
•
restructuring or refinancing our debt;
seeking additional debt or equity capital;
seeking bankruptcy protection;
reducing distributions;
reducing or delaying our business activities, acquisitions, investments or capital expenditures; or
selling assets.
Such measures might not be successful and might not enable us to service our debt. In addition, any such financing, refinancing or sale of assets
might not be available on economically favorable terms. In addition, our credit agreements and the indenture governing the notes may restrict our
ability to implement some of these measures.
Financing agreements containing operating and financial restrictions may restrict our business and financing activities.
The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in our revolving credit facilities, term loans and in any of our future financing agreements
could adversely affect our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to pursue and expand our business activities. For example, these
financing arrangements restrict our ability to:
16
•
•
•
•
•
pay dividends;
incur or guarantee indebtedness;
change ownership or structure, including mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions;
grant liens on our assets;
sell, transfer, assign or convey assets;
• make certain investments; and
•
enter into a new line of business.
Our ability to comply with covenants and restrictions contained in debt instruments may be affected by events beyond our control, including
prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions. If market or other economic conditions deteriorate, we may fail to comply with these
covenants. If we breach any of the restrictions, covenants, ratios or tests in the financing agreements, our obligations may become immediately due
and payable, and the lenders’ commitment under our credit facilities, if any, to make further loans may terminate. A default under financing
agreements could also result in foreclosure on any of our vessels and other assets securing related loans.
Certain of Teekay LNG's lease arrangements contain provisions whereby it has provided a tax indemnification to third parties, which may
result in increased lease payments or termination of favorable lease arrangements.
Teekay LNG and a joint venture partner are the lessees under 30-year capital lease arrangements with a third party for three LNG carriers. Under
the terms of these capital lease arrangements, the lessor claims tax depreciation on the capital expenditures it incurred to acquire these vessels. As
is typical in these leasing arrangements, tax and change of law risks are assumed by the lessee. The rentals payable under the lease arrangements
are predicated on the basis of certain tax and financial assumptions at the commencement of the leases. If an assumption proves to be incorrect or
there is a change in the applicable tax legislation or the interpretation thereof by the U.K. taxing authority, the lessor is entitled to increase the
rentals so as to maintain its agreed after-tax margin. Teekay LNG does not have the ability to pass these increased rentals onto the charter party.
However, the terms of the lease arrangements enable Teekay LNG and the joint venture partner jointly to terminate the lease arrangement on a
voluntary basis at any time. In the event of an early termination of the lease arrangements, the joint venture may be obliged to pay termination sums
to the lessor sufficient to repay its investment in the vessels and to compensate it for the tax effect of the terminations, including recapture of tax
depreciation, if any. Although the exact amount of any such payments upon termination would be negotiated between Teekay LNG and the lessor,
we expect the amount would be significant.
Recently, the U.K. taxing authority has been urging lessors under capital lease arrangements that have tax benefits similar to the ones provided by
the capital lease arrangements for our LNG carriers to terminate such capital lease arrangements and has in other circumstances challenged the
use of similar tax structures, although under facts we believe are different from ours. As a result, the lessor has requested that Teekay LNG enter
into negotiations for a mutually agreed upon termination of these leases. Teekay LNG has declined the request to negotiate. While, based on
discussions with our counsel, we do not believe that the U.K. taxing authority would be able to successfully challenge the availability to the lessor of
these benefits, if the challenge were successful, the joint venture, of which Teekay LNG owns a 70% interest, could be subject to significant costs
associated with the termination of the lease or increased lease payments to compensate the lessor for the lost tax benefits.
In addition, the subsidiaries of another joint venture formed to service the Tangguh LNG project in Indonesia have entered into lease arrangements
with a third party for two LNG carriers. Teekay LNG purchased our interest in this subsidiary in 2009. The terms of the lease arrangements provide
similar tax and change of law risk assumption by this joint venture as with the three LNG carriers above.
Tax Risks
In addition to the following risk factors, you should read Item 4E: “Taxation of the Company” and Item 10: “Additional Information – Material U.S.
Federal Income Tax Considerations” and – “Non-United States Tax Considerations” for a more complete discussion of the expected material U.S.
federal and non-U.S. income tax considerations relating to us and the ownership and disposition of our Class A common stock.
U.S. tax authorities could treat us as a “passive foreign investment company,” which could have adverse U.S. federal income tax
consequences to U.S. holders.
A foreign entity taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be treated as a “passive foreign investment company” (or PFIC) for
U.S. federal income tax purposes if at least 75% of its gross income for any taxable year consists of certain types of “passive income,” or at least
50% of the average value of the entity’s assets produce or are held for the production of those types of “passive income.” For purposes of these
tests, “passive income” includes dividends, interest, and gains from the sale or exchange of investment property and rents and royalties, other than
rents and royalties that are received from unrelated parties in connection with the active conduct of a trade or business. By contrast, income derived
from the performance of services does not constitute “passive income.”
There are legal uncertainties involved in determining whether the income derived from our time chartering activities constitutes rental income or
income derived from the performance of services, including the decision in Tidewater Inc. v. United States, 565 F.3d 299 (5th Cir. 2009), which held
that income derived from certain time-chartering activities should be treated as rental income rather than services income for purposes of a foreign
sales corporation provision of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or the Code). However, the Internal Revenue Service (or
IRS) stated in an Action on Decision (AOD 2010-001) that it disagrees with, and will not acquiesce to, the way that the rental versus
services framework was applied to the facts in the Tidewater decision, and in its discussion stated that the time charters at issue in
Tidewater would be treated as producing services income for PFIC purposes. The IRS's statement with respect to Tidewater cannot be
relied upon or otherwise cited as precedent by taxpayers. Consequently, in the absence of any binding legal authority specifically relating to
the statutory provisions governing PFICs, there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court would not follow the Tidewater decision in
interpreting the PFIC provisions of the Code. Nevertheless, based on our current assets and operations, we intend to take the position that we
17
are not now and have never been a PFIC. No assurance can be given, however, that the IRS or a court of law, will accept our position, or that we
would not constitute a PFIC for any future taxable year if there were to be changes in our assets, income or operations.
If the IRS were to determine that we are or have been a PFIC for any taxable year, U.S. holders of our common stock will face adverse U.S. federal
income tax consequences. Under the PFIC rules, unless those U.S. holders timely make certain elections available under the Code, such holders
would be liable to pay tax at ordinary income tax rates plus interest upon certain distributions and upon any gain from the disposition of our common
stock, as if such distribution or gain had been recognized ratably over the U.S. holder’s holding period. Please read Item 10. “Additional Information–
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—United States Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders—Consequences of Possible PFIC
Classification.”
The preferential tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income are temporary, and the absence of legislation extending the term would
cause our dividends to be taxed at ordinary graduated tax rates.
Certain of our distributions may be treated as qualified dividend income eligible for preferential rates of U.S. federal income tax to U.S. individual
stockholders (and certain other U.S. stockholders). In the absence of legislation extending the term for these preferential tax rates or providing for
some other treatment, all dividends received by such U.S. taxpayers in tax years after December 31, 2012 or later will be taxed at ordinary
graduated tax rates. Please read Item 10. "Additional Information—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—United States Federal
Income Taxation of U.S. Holders—Distributions."
Changes in the ownership of our stock may cause us and certain of our subsidiaries to be unable to claim an exemption from United
States tax on our United States source income.
Changes in the ownership of our stock may cause us to be unable to claim an exemption from U.S. federal income tax under Section 883 of the
United States Internal Revenue Code (or the Code). If we were not exempt from tax under Section 883 of the Code, we or our subsidiaries that are
currently claiming exemptions will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on shipping income attributable to our subsidiaries’ transportation of cargoes
to or from the U.S. to the extent it is treated as derived from U.S. sources. Certain of our subsidiaries currently are unable to claim this exemption
and, as a result, we estimate that they will be subject to less than $750,000 of U.S. federal income tax annually. To the extent we or our other
subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax on shipping income from U.S. sources, our net income and cash flow will be reduced by the
amount of such tax. We cannot give any assurance that future changes and shifts in ownership of our stock will not preclude us or our other
subsidiaries from being able to satisfy an exemption under Section 883. Please read Item 4. “Information on the Company—Taxation of the
Company—United States Taxation.”
We may be subject to taxes, which could affect our operating results.
We or our subsidiaries are subject to tax in certain jurisdictions in which we or our subsidiaries are organized, own assets or have operations, which
reduces our operating results. In computing our tax obligations in these jurisdictions, we are required to take various tax accounting and reporting
positions on matters that are not entirely free from doubt and for which we have not received rulings from the governing authorities. We cannot
assure you that upon review of these positions, the applicable authorities will agree with our positions. A successful challenge by a tax authority
could result in additional tax imposed on us or our subsidiaries, further reducing our operating results. In addition, changes in our operations or
ownership could result in additional tax being imposed on us or on our subsidiaries in jurisdictions in which operations are conducted. Also,
jurisdictions in which we or our subsidiaries are organized, own assets or have operations may change their tax laws, or we may enter into new
business transactions relating to such jurisdictions, which could result in increased tax liability and reduce our operating results.

A. Overview, History and Development
Overview
We are a leading provider of international crude oil and gas marine transportation services and we also offer offshore oil production, storage and
offloading services, primarily under long-term, fixed-rate contracts. Over the past decade, we have undergone a major transformation from being
primarily an owner of ships in the cyclical spot tanker business to being a growth-oriented asset manager in the “Marine Midstream” sector. This
transformation has included our expansion into the liquefied natural gas (or LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (or LPG) shipping sectors through our
publicly-listed subsidiary Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (NYSE: TGP) (or Teekay LNG), further growth of our operations in the offshore production,
storage and transportation sector through our publicly-listed subsidiary Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. (NYSE: TOO) (or Teekay Offshore), through
our 100% ownership interest in Teekay Petrojarl AS, and expansion of our conventional tanker business through our publicly-listed subsidiary,
Teekay Tankers Ltd. (NYSE: TNK) (or Teekay Tankers). With a fleet of over 150 vessels, offices in 16 countries and approximately 6,400 seagoing

Recent Business Acquisition
Acquisition of Petrojarl ASA
During 2006, we acquired 64.7% of the outstanding shares of Petrojarl ASA (or Petrojarl), which was listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, for $536.8
million. Petrojarl is a leading independent operator of FPSO units in the North Sea. On December 1, 2006, we renamed the company Teekay
Petrojarl AS (or Teekay Petrojarl). We financed our acquisition of Petrojarl through a combination of bank financing and cash balances. In June and
July 2008, we acquired the remaining 35.3% interest (26.5 million common shares) in Teekay Petrojarl for a total purchase price of $304.9 million.
As a result of these transactions, we own 100% of Teekay Petrojarl.

As a result of these transactions, our ownership of Teekay Tankers was reduced to 26.0% as of March 31, 2011. We maintain voting control of
Teekay Tankers through our ownership of shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock and will continue to consolidate this subsidiary. Please
read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 5 – Equity Offerings by Subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2011, Teekay Tankers owned nine Aframax
tankers and six Suezmax tankers it acquired from us upon and subsequent to its initial public offering. Teekay Tankers is expected to grow through
the acquisition of additional crude oil and product tanker assets from third parties and from us.
Equity Offerings by Teekay Offshore and the Sale of Remaining Interest in OPCO to Teekay Offshore
During June 2008, Teekay Offshore, completed a public offering by issuing 7.4 million of its common units to the public and 3.3 million common
units to us in a concurrent private placement at a price of $20.00 per unit for net proceeds of $198.8 million. In connection with the public offering,
we contributed $4.2 million to Teekay Offshore to maintain our 2% general partner interest in it. During July 2008, the underwriters exercised their
over-allotment option and purchased 375,000 common units at $20.00 per unit for additional gross proceeds of $7.2 million.
During August 2009, Teekay Offshore completed a public offering of 7.5 million common units (including 975,000 units issued upon the exercise of
the underwriter’s overallotment option) at a price of $14.32 per unit, for total gross proceeds of $107.0 million (including the general partner’s $2.2
million proportionate capital contribution). Teekay Offshore used the total net offering proceeds to reduce amounts outstanding under one of its
revolving credit facilities.
During March 2010, Teekay Offshore completed a public offering of 5.1 million common units (including 660,000 units issued upon the exercise of
the underwriter’s overallotment option) at a price of $19.48 per unit, for gross proceeds of $100.6 million (including the general partner’s $2.0 million
proportionate capital contribution). Teekay Offshore used the net proceeds from the offering of $95.5 million to repay the vendor financing of $60.0
million we provided for the acquisition from us of the FPSO unit, the Petrojarl Varg and to finance a portion of the April 2010 acquisition from us of
the FSO unit, the Falcon Spirit, for $44.1 million.
19
During August 2010, Teekay Offshore completed a public offering of 6.0 million common units (including 787,500 units issued upon the exercise of
the underwriter’s overallotment option) at the price of $22.15 per unit, for gross proceeds of $136.5 million (including the general partner’s $2.7
million proportionate capital contribution). Teekay Offshore used the net proceeds from the equity offering to repay a portion of its outstanding debt
under one of its revolving credit facilities.
During December 2010, Teekay Offshore completed a public offering of 6.4 million common units (including 840,000 units issued upon the exercise
of the underwriter’s overallotment option) at a price of $27.84 per unit, for gross proceeds of $182.9 million (including the general partner’s $3.7
million proportionate capital contribution).
As of December 31, 2010, Teekay Offshore owned 51% of Teekay Offshore Operating L.P. (or OPCO), including its 0.01% general partner interest.
As of December 31, 2010, OPCO owned and operated a fleet of 33 of our shuttle tankers (including 6 chartered-in vessels and 5 vessels owned by
50% owned joint ventures), 4 of our FSO units, and 11 of our conventional Aframax tankers. In addition, Teekay Offshore has direct ownership
interests in two of our shuttle tankers (including one through a 50%-owned joint venture), two FSO units and two FPSO units. As of December 31,
2010, we indirectly owned 49% of OPCO and 28.3% of Teekay Offshore, including our 2% general partner interest. As a result, we effectively
owned 63.4% of OPCO. In March 2011, we sold our 49% interest in OPCO to Teekay Offshore for a combination of $175 million in cash (less $15
million in distributions made by OPCO to us between December 31, 2010 and the date of acquisition) and 7.6 million of Teekay Offshore's common
units. In addition, Teekay Offshore issued to its general partner a sufficient general partner interest in order for it to maintain its 2% general partner
interest. The sale increased Teekay Offshore's ownership of OPCO from 51% to 100%. Please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 25(d) –
Subsequent Events.
As a result of theses transactions, our ownership of Teekay Offshore was reduced to 36.9% (including our 2% general partner interest) as of March
31, 2011. We maintain control of Teekay Offshore by virtue of our control of the general partner and will continue to consolidate this subsidiary.
Equity Offerings and Unit Issuances by Teekay LNG
During April 2008, Teekay LNG completed a public offering of 5.4 million of its common units (including 375,000 units issued upon the exercise of
the underwriter’s overallotment option) at a price of $28.75 per unit, for gross proceeds of $148.4 million (including the general partner’s 2%
proportionate capital contribution). Concurrent with the public offering, we acquired approximately 1.7 million common units of Teekay LNG at the
same public offering price for a total cost of $50.0 million.
During March 2009, Teekay LNG completed a public offering of 4.0 million of its common units at a price of $17.60 per unit, for gross proceeds of
$71.8 million (including the general partner’s 2% proportionate capital contribution). Teekay LNG used the net proceeds from the offering to prepay
amounts outstanding on two of its revolving credit facilities.
During November 2009, Teekay LNG completed a public offering of 4.0 million of its common units (including 450,650 units issued upon the
exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option) at a price of $24.40 per unit, for gross proceeds of $98.3 million (including the general partner’s
2% proportionate capital contribution). Teekay LNG used the net proceeds from the offering to prepay amounts outstanding under one or more of its
revolving credit facilities.
During July 2010, Teekay LNG completed a direct equity placement of 1.7 million common units at a price of $29.18 per unit, for gross proceeds of
$51 million (including the general partner’s 2% proportionate capital contribution).
In November 2010, Teekay LNG acquired a 50% interest in companies that own two LNG carriers (collectively the Exmar Joint Venture) from Exmar
NV for a total purchase price of approximately $72.5 million net of assumed debt. Teekay LNG paid $37.3 million of the purchase price by issuing to
Exmar NV 1.1 million of its common units and the balance was financed by drawing on one of its revolving credit facilities.
As a result of the 2010 direct equity placement and units issued to Exmar NV, our ownership of Teekay LNG has been reduced to 46.8% (including
our 2% general partner interest) as of March 31, 2011. We maintain control of Teekay LNG by virtue of our control of the general partner and will
continue to consolidate this subsidiary. Please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 5 – Equity Offerings by Subsidiaries.
In April 2011, Teekay LNG announced its plans of a public offering of 3.7 million common units at a price of $38.88 per unit. Teekay LNG has
granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 555,000 common units to cover over-allotments, if any. Please read Item

B. Operations
Our organization is divided into the following key areas: the shuttle tanker and FSO segment (included in our Teekay Navion Shuttle Tankers and
Offshore business unit), the FPSO segment (included in our Teekay Petrojarl business unit), the liquefied gas segment (included in our Teekay Gas
Services business unit) and the conventional tanker segment, consisting of the spot tanker sub-segment and fixed-rate tanker sub-segment (both
included in our Teekay Tanker Services business unit). These centers of expertise work closely with customers to ensure a thorough understanding
of our customers’ requirements and to develop tailored solutions.
•
•
Teekay Navion Shuttle Tankers and Offshore and Teekay Petrojarl provides marine transportation, production and storage services to the
offshore oil industry, including shuttle tanker, FSO and FPSO services. Our expertise and partnerships with third parties allow us to create
solutions for customers producing crude oil from offshore installations.
Teekay Gas Services provides gas transportation services, primarily under long-term fixed-rate contracts to major energy and utility
companies. These services currently include the transportation of LNG and LPG.
20
•
Teekay Tanker Services is responsible for the commercial management of our conventional crude oil and product tanker transportation
services. We offer a full range of shipping solutions through our worldwide network of commercial offices.
Shuttle Tanker and FSO Segment and FPSO Segment
The main services our shuttle tanker and FSO segment and our FPSO segment provide to customers are:
•
•
•
offloading and transportation of cargo from oil field installations to onshore terminals via dynamically positioned, offshore loading shuttle
tankers;
floating storage for oil field installations via FSO units; and
floating production, processing and storage services via FPSO units.
Shuttle Tankers
A shuttle tanker is a specialized ship designed to transport crude oil and condensates from offshore oil field installations to onshore terminals and
refineries. Shuttle tankers are equipped with sophisticated loading systems and dynamic positioning systems that allow the vessels to load cargo
safely and reliably from oil field installations, even in harsh weather conditions. Shuttle tankers were developed in the North Sea as an alternative to
pipelines. The first cargo from an offshore field in the North Sea was shipped in 1977, and the first dynamically positioned shuttle tankers were
introduced in the early 1980s. Shuttle tankers are often described as “floating pipelines” because these vessels typically shuttle oil from offshore
installations to onshore facilities in much the same way a pipeline would transport oil along the ocean floor.
Our shuttle tankers are primarily subject to long-term, fixed-rate time-charter contracts or bareboat charter contracts for a specific offshore oil field,
where a vessel is hired for a fixed period of time, or under contracts of affreightment for various fields, where we commit to be available to transport
the quantity of cargo requested by the customer from time to time over a specified trade route within a given period of time. The number of voyages
performed under these contracts of affreightment normally depends upon the oil production of each field. Competition for charters is based primarily
upon price, availability, the size, technical sophistication, age and condition of the vessel and the reputation of the vessel's manager. Technical
sophistication of the vessel is especially important in harsh operating environments such as the North Sea. Although the size of the world shuttle
tanker fleet has been relatively unchanged in recent years, conventional tankers can be converted into shuttle tankers by adding specialized
equipment to meet customer requirements. Shuttle tanker demand may also be affected by the possible substitution of sub-sea pipelines to
transport oil from offshore production platforms.
As of December 31, 2010, there were approximately 88 vessels in the world shuttle tanker fleet (including 21 newbuildings), the majority of which
operate in the North Sea. Shuttle tankers also operate in Africa, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Russia and the United States Gulf. As of December 31,
2010, we owned 32 shuttle tankers (including two newbuildings) and chartered-in an additional six shuttle tankers. Other shuttle tanker owners
include Knutsen OAS Shipping AS, Transpetro and JJ Ugland which as of December 31, 2010 controlled small fleets of 3 to 18 shuttle tankers each.
We believe that we have significant competitive advantages in the shuttle tanker market as a result of the quality, type and dimensions of our
vessels combined with our market share in the North Sea.
FSO Units
FSO units provide on-site storage for oil field installations that have no storage facilities or that require supplemental storage. An FSO unit is
generally used in combination with a jacked-up fixed production system, floating production systems that do not have sufficient storage facilities or
as supplemental storage for fixed platform systems, which generally have some on-board storage capacity. An FSO unit is usually of similar design
to a conventional tanker, but has specialized loading and offtake systems required by field operators or regulators. FSO units are moored to the
seabed at a safe distance from a field installation and receive the cargo from the production facility via a dedicated loading system. An FSO unit is
also equipped with an export system that transfers cargo to shuttle or conventional tankers. Depending on the selected mooring arrangement and
where they are located, FSO units may or may not have any propulsion systems. FSO units are usually conversions of older single-hull conventional
oil tankers. These conversions, which include installation of a loading and offtake system and hull refurbishment, can generally extend the lifespan
of a vessel as an FSO unit by up to 20 years over the normal conventional tanker lifespan of 25 years.
Our FSO units are generally placed on long-term, fixed-rate time-charters or bareboat charters as an integrated part of the field development plan,
which provides more stable cash flow to us. Under a bareboat charter, the customer pays a fixed daily rate for a fixed period of time for the full use
of the vessel and is responsible for all crewing, management and navigation of the vessel and related expenses.
As of December 2010, there were approximately 102 FSO units operating and two FSO units on order in the world fleet. As at December 31, 2010,
we had six FSO units. The major markets for FSO units are Asia, the Middle East, the North Sea, South America and West Africa. Our primary
competitors in the FSO market are conventional tanker owners, who have access to tankers available for conversion, and oil field services
companies and oil field engineering and construction companies who compete in the floating production system market. Competition in the FSO
market is primarily based on price, expertise in FSO operations, management of FSO conversions and relationships with shipyards, as well as the
ability to access vessels for conversion that meet customer specifications.
FPSO Units
FPSO units are offshore production facilities that are typically ship-shaped and store processed crude oil in tanks located in the hull of the vessel.
FPSO units are typically used as production facilities to develop marginal oil fields or deepwater areas remote from existing pipeline infrastructure.
Of four major types of floating production systems, FPSO units are the most common type. Typically, the other types of floating production systems
do not have significant storage and need to be connected into a pipeline system or use an FSO unit for storage. FPSO units are less weight-
sensitive than other types of floating production systems and their extensive deck area provides flexibility in process plant layouts. In addition, the
ability to utilize surplus or aging tanker hulls for conversion to an FPSO unit provides a relatively inexpensive solution compared to the new
construction of other floating production systems. A majority of the cost of an FPSO comes from its top-side production equipment and thus FPSO
21
units are expensive relative to conventional tankers. An FPSO unit carries on-board all the necessary production and processing facilities normally
associated with a fixed production platform. As the name suggests, FPSO units are not fixed permanently to the seabed but are designed to be
moored at one location for long periods of time. In a typical FPSO unit installation, the untreated well-stream is brought to the surface via subsea
equipment on the sea floor that is connected to the FPSO unit by flexible flow lines called risers. The risers carry oil, gas and water from the ocean
floor to the vessel, which processes it onboard. The resulting crude oil is stored in the hull of the vessel and subsequently transferred to tankers
either via a buoy or tandem loading system for transport to shore.
Traditionally for large field developments, the major oil companies have owned and operated new, custom-built FPSO units. FPSO units for smaller
fields have generally been provided by independent FPSO contractors under life-of-field production contracts, where the contract's duration is for the
useful life of the oil field. FPSO units have been used to develop offshore fields around the world since the late 1970s. As of December 2010 there
were approximately 155 FPSO units operating and 35 FPSO units on order in the world fleet. At December 31, 2010, we had six FPSO units. Most
independent FPSO contractors have backgrounds in marine energy transportation, oil field services or oil field engineering and construction. Other
major independent FPSO contractors are SBM Offshore NV, BW Offshore / Prosafe Production, MODEC, Sevan Marine ASA, Bluewater and
Maersk FPSOs.
During 2010, a total of approximately 53% of our net revenues were earned by the vessels in our shuttle tankers and FSO segment and FPSO
segment, compared to approximately 47% in 2009 and 37% in 2008. Please read Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects: Results
of Operations.
Liquefied Gas Segment
The vessels in our liquefied gas segment compete in the LNG and LPG markets. LNG carriers are usually chartered to carry LNG pursuant to time-
charter contracts with durations between 20 and 25 years, and with charter rates payable to the owner on a monthly basis. LNG shipping historically
has been transacted with these long-term, fixed-rate time-charter contracts. LNG projects require significant capital expenditures and typically
involve an integrated chain of dedicated facilities and cooperative activities. Accordingly, the overall success of an LNG project depends heavily on
long-range planning and coordination of project activities, including marine transportation. Most shipping requirements for new LNG projects
continue to be provided on a long-term basis, though the level of spot voyages (typically consisting of a single voyage) and short-term time-charters
of less than 12 months duration have grown in the past few years.
In the LNG markets, we compete principally with other private and state-controlled energy and utilities companies, which generally operate captive
fleets, and independent ship owners and operators. Many major energy companies compete directly with independent owners by transporting LNG
for third parties in addition to their own LNG. Given the complex, long-term nature of LNG projects, major energy companies historically have
transported LNG through their captive fleets. However, independent fleet operators have been obtaining an increasing percentage of charters for
new or expanded LNG projects as major energy companies have continued to divest non-core businesses. Other major operators of LNG carriers
are BW Gas, Golar LNG, Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (or K-Line), Malaysian International Shipping, Mitsui O.S.K., NYK Line and Qatar Gas Transport.
LNG carriers transport LNG internationally between liquefaction facilities and import terminals. After natural gas is transported by pipeline from
production fields to a liquefaction facility, it is super-cooled to a temperature of approximately negative 260 degrees Fahrenheit. This process
reduces its volume to approximately 1 / 600th of its volume in a gaseous state. The reduced volume facilitates economical storage and transportation
by ship over long distances, enabling countries with limited natural gas reserves or limited access to long-distance transmission pipelines to meet
their demand for natural gas. LNG carriers include a sophisticated containment system that holds and insulates the LNG so it maintains its liquid
form. The LNG is transported overseas in specially built tanks on double-hulled ships to a receiving terminal, where it is offloaded and stored in
heavily insulated tanks. In regasification facilities at the receiving terminal, the LNG is returned to its gaseous state (or regasified) and then shipped
by pipeline for distribution to natural gas customers.
LPG carriers are mainly chartered to carry LPG on time charters of three to five years, on contracts of affreightment or spot voyage charters. The
two largest consumers of LPG are residential users and the petrochemical industry. Residential users, particularly in developing regions where
electricity and gas pipelines are not developed, do not have fuel switching alternatives and generally are not LPG price sensitive. The petrochemical
industry, however, has the ability to switch between LPG and other feedstock fuels depending on price and availability of alternatives.
Most new LNG carriers, including all of our vessels, are being built with a membrane containment system. These systems consist of insulation
between thin primary and secondary barriers and are designed to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction without overstressing the
membrane. New LNG carriers are generally expected to have a lifespan of approximately 40 years. New LPG carriers are generally expected to
have a lifespan of approximately 30 to 35 years. Unlike the oil tanker industry, there are currently no regulations that require the phase-out from
trading of LNG and LPG carriers after they reach a certain age. As at December 31, 2010, there were approximately 362 vessels in the world LNG
fleet, with an average age of approximately 10 years, and an additional 22 LNG carriers under construction or on order for delivery through 2014. As
of December 31, 2010, the worldwide LPG tanker fleet consisted of approximately 1,189 vessels with an average age of approximately 16 years and
approximately 121 additional LPG vessels were on order for delivery through 2014. LPG carriers range in size from approximately 500 to
approximately 70,000 cubic meters (or cbm). Approximately 55% (in terms of vessel numbers) of the worldwide fleet is less than 5,000 cbm.
Our liquefied gas segment primarily consists of LNG and LPG carriers subject to long-term, fixed-rate time-charter contracts. As at December 31,
2010, we had 17 LNG carriers, as well as an additional four newbuilding LNG carriers on order which were scheduled to commence operations
upon delivery under long-term fixed-rate time-charters and in which our interest is 33%. In addition, as at December 31, 2010, we had five LPG
carriers, of which three are under construction.
During 2010, approximately 14% of our net revenues were earned by the vessels in our liquefied gas segment, compared to approximately 13% in
2009, and 9% in 2008. Please read Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects: Results of Operations.

Conventional Tanker Segment
a) Spot Tanker Sub-Segment
The vessels in our spot tanker sub-segment compete primarily in the Aframax and Suezmax tanker markets. In these markets, international
seaborne oil and other petroleum products transportation services are provided by two main types of operators: captive fleets of major oil companies
(both private and state-owned) and independent ship-owner fleets. Many major oil companies and other oil trading companies, the primary
charterers of our vessels, also operate their own vessels and transport their own oil and oil for third-party charterers in direct competition with
independent owners and operators. Competition for charters in the Aframax and Suezmax spot charter market is intense and is based upon price,
location, the size, age, condition and acceptability of the vessel, and the reputation of the vessel's manager.
We compete principally with other owners in the spot-charter market through the global tanker charter market. This market is comprised of tanker
broker companies that represent both charterers and ship-owners in chartering transactions. Within this market, some transactions, referred to as
"market cargoes," are offered by charterers through two or more brokers simultaneously and shown to the widest possible range of owners; other
transactions, referred to as "private cargoes," are given by the charterer to only one broker and shown selectively to a limited number of owners
whose tankers are most likely to be acceptable to the charterer and are in position to undertake the voyage.
Certain of our vessels in the spot tanker sub-segment operate pursuant to pooling arrangements. Under a pooling arrangement, different vessel
owners pool their vessels, which are managed by a pool manager, to improve utilization and reduce expenses. In general, revenues generated by
the vessels operating in a pool, less related voyage expenses (such as fuel and port charges) and pool administrative expenses, are pooled and
allocated to the vessel owners according to a pre-determined formula. As of December 31, 2010, we participated in three main pooling
arrangements. These include an Aframax tanker pool, an LR2 tanker pool and a Suezmax tanker pool (or Gemini Pool). As of December 31, 2010,
16 of our Aframax tankers operated in the Aframax tanker pool, five of our LR2 tankers operated in the LR2 tanker pool and 16 of our Suezmax
tankers operated in the Gemini Pool. Each of these pools is either solely or jointly managed by us.
Our competition in the Aframax (80,000 to 119,999 dwt) market is also affected by the availability of other size vessels that compete in that market.
Suezmax (120,000 to 199,999 dwt) vessels and Panamax (55,000 to 79,999 dwt) vessels can compete for many of the same charters for which our
Aframax tankers compete. Similarly, Aframax tankers and Very Large Crude Carriers (200,000 to 319,999 dwt) (or VLCCs) can compete for many of
the same charters for which our Suezmax vessels compete. Because VLCCs comprise a substantial portion of the total capacity of the market,
movements by such vessels into Suezmax trades or of Suezmax vessels into Aframax trades would heighten the already intense competition.
We believe that we have competitive advantages in the Aframax and Suezmax tanker market as a result of the quality, type and dimensions of our
vessels and our market share in the Indo-Pacific and Atlantic Basins. As of December 31, 2010, our Aframax tanker fleet (excluding Aframax-size
shuttle tankers and newbuildings) had an average age of approximately 10 years and our Suezmax tanker fleet (excluding Suezmax-size shuttle
tankers and newbuildings) had an average age of approximately five years. This compares to an average age for the world oil tanker fleet of
approximately 8.4 years, for the world Aframax tanker fleet of approximately 8.2 years and for the world Suezmax tanker fleet of approximately 8.3
years.
As of December 31, 2010, other large operators of Aframax tonnage (including newbuildings on order) included Malaysian International Shipping
Corporation (approximately 65 Aframax vessels), Sovcomflot (approximately 53 vessels), the Sigma Pool (approximately 47 vessels) and the
Aframax International Pool (approximately 44 Aframax vessels). Other large operators of Suezmax tonnage (including newbuildings on order)
included the Stena Sonangol Pool (approximately 28 vessels), Sovcomflot (approximately 18 vessels), the Blue Fin Pool (approximately 17 vessels)
and Delta Tankers (approximately 13 vessels).
We have chartering staff located in Tokyo, Japan; Singapore; London, England; Houston, Texas; and Stamford, Connecticut. Each office serves our
clients headquartered in that office's region. Fleet operations, vessel positions and charter market rates are monitored around the clock. We believe
that monitoring such information is critical to making informed bids on competitive brokered business.
During 2010, approximately 12% of our net revenues were earned by the vessels in our spot tanker sub-segment, compared to approximately 19%
in 2009 and 40% in 2008. Please read Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects: Results of Operations.
b) Fixed-Rate Tanker Sub-Segment
The vessels in our fixed-rate tanker sub-segment primarily consist of Aframax and Suezmax tankers that are employed on long-term time-charters.
We consider contracts that have an original term of less than one year duration to be short-term. The only difference between the vessels in the spot
tanker sub-segment and the fixed-rate tanker sub-segment is the duration of the contracts under which they are employed. During 2010,
approximately 21% of our net revenues were earned by the vessels in the fixed-rate tanker sub-segment, compared to approximately 20% in 2009
and 14% in 2008. Please read Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects: Results of Operations.
Our Fleet
As at December 31, 2010, our fleet (excluding vessels managed for third parties) consisted of 151 vessels, including chartered-in vessels, and
newbuildings/conversions on order. The following table summarizes our fleet as at December 31, 2010:

Our vessels are of Australian, Bahamian, Belgium, Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, Isle of Man, Liberian, Marshall Islands, Norwegian, Norwegian
International Ship, Singapore, and Spanish registry.
Many of our Aframax and Suezmax vessels and some of our shuttle tankers have been designed and constructed as substantially identical sister
ships. These vessels can, in many situations, be interchanged, providing scheduling flexibility and greater capacity utilization. In addition, spare
parts and technical knowledge can be applied to all the vessels in the particular series, thereby generating operating efficiencies.
As of December 31, 2010, we had 11 vessels under construction. Please read Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects:
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Item 18 – Financial Statements: Notes 16(a) and
16(b) – Commitments and Contingencies – Vessels Under Construction and Joint Ventures.
Please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 8 – Long-Term Debt for information with respect to major encumbrances against our vessels.
Safety, Management of Ship Operations and Administration
Safety and environmental compliance are our top operational priorities. We operate our vessels in a manner intended to protect the safety and
health of our employees, the general public and the environment. We seek to manage the risks inherent in our business and are committed to
eliminating incidents that threaten the safety and integrity of our vessels, such as groundings, fires, collisions and petroleum spills. In 2008, we
introduced the Quality Assurance and Training Officers Program to conduct rigorous internal audits of our processes and provide our seafarers with
24
onboard training. In 2007, we introduced a behavior-based safety program called “Safety in Action” to improve the safety culture in our fleet. We are
also committed to reducing our emissions and waste generation.
Key performance indicators facilitate regular monitoring of our operational performance. Targets are set on an annual basis to drive continuous
improvement, and indicators are reviewed monthly to determine if remedial action is necessary to reach the targets.
We, through certain of its subsidiaries, assists our operating subsidiaries in managing their ship operations. All vessels are operated under our
comprehensive and integrated Marine Operations Management System (or MOMS) that complies with the International Safety Management Code
(or ISM Code), the International Standards Organization’s (or ISO) 9001 for Quality Assurance, ISO 14001 for Environment Management Systems,
and Occupational Health and Safety Advisory Services (or OHSAS) 18001. MOMS is certified by Det Norske Veritas (or DNV), the Norwegian
classification society. It has also been separately approved by the Australian and Spanish Flag administrations. Although certification is valid for five
years, compliance with the above mentioned standards is confirmed on a yearly basis by a rigorous auditing procedure that includes both internal
audits as well as external verification audits by DNV and certain flag states.
We provide, through certain of its subsidiaries, expertise in various functions critical to the operations of our operating subsidiaries. We believe this
arrangement affords a safe, efficient and cost-effective operation. Our subsidiaries also provide to us access to human resources, financial and
other administrative functions pursuant to administrative services agreements.
Ship management services are provided by our Teekay Marine Services division, located in various offices around the world. These include such
critical ship management functions as:
•
•
•
vessel maintenance (including repairs and drydocking) and certification;
crewing by competent seafarers;
procurement of stores, bunkers and spare parts;
• management of emergencies and incidents;
•
•
•
supervision of shipyard and projects during new-building and conversions;
insurance; and
financial management services.
Integrated onboard and onshore systems support the management of maintenance, inventory control and procurement, crew management and
training and assist with budgetary controls.
Our day-to-day focus on cost efficiencies is applied to all aspects of our operations. We believe that the generally uniform design of some of our
existing and new-building vessels and the adoption of common equipment standards provides operational efficiencies, including with respect to crew
training and vessel management, equipment operation and repair, and spare parts ordering. In addition, in 2003, we and two other shipping
companies established a purchasing alliance, Teekay Bergesen Worldwide (or TBW), which leverages the purchasing power of the combined fleets,
mainly in such commodity areas as lube oils, paints and other chemicals.
Risk of Loss and Insurance
The operation of any ocean-going vessel carries an inherent risk of catastrophic marine disasters, death or injury of persons and property losses
caused by adverse weather conditions, mechanical failures, human error, war, terrorism, piracy and other circumstances or events. In addition, the
transportation of crude oil, petroleum products, LNG and LPG is subject to the risk of spills and to business interruptions due to political
circumstances in foreign countries, hostilities, labor strikes and boycotts. The occurrence of any of these events may result in loss of revenues or
increased costs.
We carry hull and machinery (marine and war risks) and protection and indemnity insurance coverage to protect against most of the accident-related
risks involved in the conduct of our business. Hull and machinery insurance covers loss of or damage to a vessel due to marine perils such as
collision, grounding and weather. Protection and indemnity insurance indemnifies us against liabilities incurred while operating vessels, including
injury to our crew or third parties, cargo loss and pollution. The current available amount of our coverage for pollution is $1 billion per vessel per
incident. We also carry insurance policies covering war risks (including piracy and terrorism). None of our vessels are generally insured against loss
of revenues resulting from vessel offhire time, based on the cost of this insurance compared to our offhire experience. We believe that our current
insurance coverage is adequate to protect against most of the accident-related risks involved in the conduct of our business and that we maintain
appropriate levels of environmental damage and pollution insurance coverage. However, we cannot guarantee that all covered risks are adequately
insured against, that any particular claim will be paid or that we will be able to procure adequate insurance coverage at commercially reasonable
rates in the future. In addition, more stringent environmental regulations have resulted in increased costs for, and may result in the lack of availability
of, insurance against risks of environmental damage or pollution.
We use in our operations a thorough risk management program that includes, among other things, computer-aided risk analysis tools, maintenance
and assessment programs, a seafarers' competence training program, seafarers' workshops and membership in emergency response
organizations.
Teekay has achieved certification under the standards reflected in ISO 9001 for quality assurance, ISO 14001 for environment management
systems, OHSAS 18001, and the IMO’s International Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and Pollution Prevention on a fully
integrated basis.

Operations Outside of the United States
Because our operations are primarily conducted outside of the United States, we are affected by currency fluctuations and by changing economic,
political and governmental conditions in the countries where we engage in business or where our vessels are registered. Past political conflicts in
that region, particularly in the Arabian Gulf, have included attacks on tankers, mining of waterways and other efforts to disrupt shipping in the area.
Vessels trading in the region have also been subject to acts of piracy. In addition to tankers, targets of terrorist attacks could include oil pipelines,
LNG facilities and offshore oil fields. The escalation of existing, or the outbreak of future, hostilities or other political instability in this region or other
regions where we operate could affect our trade patterns, increase insurance costs, increase tanker operational costs and otherwise adversely
affect our operations and performance. In addition, tariffs, trade embargoes, and other economic sanctions by the United States or other countries
against countries in the Indo-Pacific Basin or elsewhere as a result of terrorist attacks or otherwise may limit trading activities with those countries,
which could also adversely affect our operations and performance.
Customers
We have derived, and believe that we will continue to derive, a significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of customers. Our
customers include major energy and utility companies, major oil traders, large oil and LNG consumers and petroleum product producers,
government agencies, and various other entities that depend upon marine transportation. Three customers, international oil companies, accounted
for a total of 38% ($778.6 million) of our consolidated revenues during 2010 (2009 - two customers for 26% or $564.5 million, 2008 - one customer
for 16% or $508.8 million). No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues during 2010, 2009, or 2008. The loss of
any significant customer or a substantial decline in the amount of services requested by a significant customer could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Classification, Audits and Inspections
The hull and machinery of all of our vessels have been “classed” by one of the major classification societies: DNV, Lloyd’s Register of Shipping or
American Bureau of Shipping. In addition, the processing facilities of our FPSO units are “classed” by DNV. The classification society certifies that
the vessel has been built and maintained in accordance with the rules of that classification society. Each vessel is inspected by a classification
society surveyor annually, with either the second or third annual inspection being a more detailed survey (an Intermediate Survey) and the fifth
annual inspection being the most comprehensive survey (a Special Survey). The inspection cycle resumes after each Special Survey. Vessels also
may be required to be drydocked at each Intermediate and Special Survey for inspection of the underwater parts of the vessel in addition to a more
detailed inspection of hull and machinery. Many of our vessels have qualified with their respective classification societies for drydocking every five
years in connection with the Special Survey and are no longer subject to drydocking at Intermediate Surveys. To qualify, we were required to
enhance the resiliency of the underwater coatings of each vessel hull and to mark the hull to facilitate underwater inspections by divers.
The vessel’s flag state, or the vessel’s classification society if nominated by the flag state, also inspect our vessels to ensure they comply with
applicable rules and regulations of the country of registry of the vessel and the international conventions of which that country is a signatory. Port
state authorities, such as the United States Coast Guard and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, also inspect our vessels when they visit their
ports. Many of our customers also regularly inspect our vessels as a condition to chartering.
We believe that our relatively new, well-maintained and high-quality vessels provide us with a competitive advantage in the current environment of
increasing regulation and customer emphasis on quality of service.
Our vessels are also regularly inspected by our seafaring staff, which performs much of the necessary routine maintenance. Shore-based
operational and technical specialists also inspect our vessels at least twice a year. Upon completion of each inspection, action plans are developed
to address any items requiring improvement. All action plans are monitored until they are completed. The objectives of these inspections are to
ensure:
•
•
adherence to our operating standards;
the structural integrity of the vessel is being maintained;
• machinery and equipment is being maintained to give full reliability in service;
• we are optimizing performance in terms of speed and fuel consumption; and
•
the vessel’s appearance will support our brand and meet customer expectations.
To achieve the vessel structural integrity objective, we use a comprehensive “Structural Integrity Management System” we developed. This system
is designed to closely monitor the condition of our vessels and to ensure that structural strength and integrity are maintained throughout a vessel’s
life.
We believe that the heightened environmental and quality concerns of insurance underwriters, regulators and charterers will generally lead to
greater inspection and safety requirements on all vessels in the oil tanker and LNG and LPG carrier markets and will accelerate the scrapping of
older vessels throughout these markets.
Regulations
General
Our business and the operation of our vessels are significantly affected by international conventions and national, state and local laws and
regulations in the jurisdictions in which our vessels operate, as well as in the country or countries of their registration. Because these conventions,
laws and regulations change frequently, we cannot predict the ultimate cost of compliance or their impact on the resale price or useful life of our
vessels. Additional conventions, laws, and regulations may be adopted that could limit our ability to do business or increase the cost of our doing
26
business and that may materially adversely affect our operations. We are required by various governmental and quasi-governmental agencies to
obtain permits, licenses and certificates with respect to our operations. Subject to the discussion below and to the fact that the kinds of permits,
licenses and certificates required for the operations of the vessels we own will depend on a number of factors, we believe that we will be able to
continue to obtain all permits, licenses and certificates material to the conduct of our operations.
International Maritime Organization (or IMO)
The IMO is the United Nations’ agency for maritime safety. IMO regulations relating to pollution prevention for oil tankers have been
adopted by many of the jurisdictions in which our tanker fleet operates. Under IMO regulations and subject to limited exceptions, a tanker
must be of double-hull construction, be of a mid-deck design with double-side construction or be of another approved design ensuring the
same level of protection against oil pollution. All of our tankers are double hulled.
Many countries, but not the United States, have ratified and follow the liability regime adopted by the IMO and set out in the International Convention
on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage, 1969, as amended (or CLC). Under this convention, a vessel’s registered owner is strictly liable for
pollution damage caused in the territorial waters of a contracting state by discharge of persistent oil (e.g. crude oil, fuel oil, heavy diesel oil or
lubricating oil), subject to certain defenses. The right to limit liability to specified amounts that are periodically revised is forfeited under the CLC
when the spill is caused by the owner’s actual fault or when the spill is caused by the owner’s intentional or reckless conduct. Vessels trading to
contracting states must provide evidence of insurance covering the limited liability of the owner. In jurisdictions where the CLC has not been
adopted, various legislative regimes or common law governs, and liability is imposed either on the basis of fault or in a manner similar to the CLC.
IMO regulations also include the International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (or SOLAS), including amendments to SOLAS implementing the
International Security Code for Ports and Ships (or ISPS), the ISM Code, the International Convention on Load Lines of 1966, and, specifically with
respect to LNG and LPG carriers, the International Code for Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (the IGC Code).
The IMO Marine Safety Committee has also published guidelines for vessels with dynamic positioning (DP) systems, which would apply to shuttle
tankers and DP-assisted FSO units and FPSO units. SOLAS provides rules for the construction of and equipment required for commercial vessels
and includes regulations for safe operation. Flag states which have ratified the convention and the treaty generally employ the classification
societies, which have incorporated SOLAS requirements into their class rules, to undertake surveys to confirm compliance.
SOLAS and other IMO regulations concerning safety, including those relating to treaties on training of shipboard personnel, lifesaving appliances,
radio equipment and the global maritime distress and safety system, are applicable to our operations. Non-compliance with IMO regulations,
including SOLAS, the ISM Code, ISPS, the IGC Code for LNG and LPG carriers, and the specific requirements for shuttle tankers, FSO units and
FPSO units under the NPD (Norway) and HSE (United Kingdom) regulations, may subject us to increased liability or penalties, may lead to
decreases in available insurance coverage for affected vessels and may result in the denial of access to or detention in some ports. For example,
the U.S. Coast Guard and European Union authorities have indicated that vessels not in compliance with the ISM Code will be prohibited from
trading in U.S. and European Union ports. The ISM Code requires vessel operators to obtain a safety management certification for each vessel
they manage, evidencing the shipowner’s development and maintenance of an extensive safety management system. Each of the existing vessels
in our fleet is currently ISM Code-certified, and we expect to obtain safety management certificates for each newbuilding vessel upon delivery.
LNG and LPG carriers are also subject to regulation under the IGC Code. Each LNG and LPG carrier must obtain a certificate of compliance
evidencing that it meets the requirements of the IGC Code, including requirements relating to its design and construction. Each of our LNG and LPG
carriers is currently IGC Code certified, and each of the shipbuilding contracts for our LNG newbuildings, and for the LPG newbuildings that we have
agreed to acquire from Skaugen and Teekay Corporation, requires ICG Code compliance prior to delivery.
Annex VI to the IMO's International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (or Annex VI) became effective on May 19, 2005. Annex
VI sets limits on sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from ship exhausts and prohibits emissions of ozone depleting substances, emissions of
volatile compounds from cargo tanks and the incineration of specific substances. Annex VI also includes a world-wide cap on the sulfur content of
fuel oil and allows for special areas to be established with more stringent controls on sulfur emissions. Annex VI came into force in the United States
on January 8, 2009. We operate our vessels in compliance with Annex VI.
In addition, the IMO has proposed that all tankers of the size we operate that are built starting in 2012 contain ballast water treatment systems, and
that all other such tankers install treatment systems by 2016. When this regulation becomes effective, we estimate that the installation of ballast
water treatment systems on our tankers may cost between $2 million and $3 million per vessel.
European Union (or EU)
Like the IMO, the EU has adopted regulations phasing out single-hull tankers. All of our tankers are double-hulled.
The EU has also adopted legislation (directive 2009/16/Econ Port State Control) that: bans manifestly sub-standard vessels (defined as vessels that
have been detained twice by EU port authorities, in the preceding two years, after July 2003) from European waters; creates obligations on the part
of EU member port states to inspect at least 24% of vessels using these ports annually; provides for increased surveillance of vessels posing a high
risk to maritime safety or the marine environment; and provides the European Union with greater authority and control over classification societies,
including the ability to seek to suspend or revoke the authority of negligent societies. The EU is also considering the adoption of criminal sanctions
for certain pollution events, including improper cleaning of tanks.
Several regulatory requirements to use low sulphur fuel are in force or upcoming. The EU Directive 33/2005 (or the Directive) came into force on
January 1, 2010. Under this legislation, vessels are required to burn fuel with sulphur content below 0.1% while berthed or anchored in an EU port.
The California Air Resources Board will require vessels to burn fuel with 0.1% sulphur content or less within 24 nautical miles of California as of
January 1, 2012. As of January 1, 2015, all vessels operating within Emissions Control Areas worldwide must comply with 0.1% sulphur
requirements. Currently, the only grade of fuel meeting 0.1% sulphur content requirement is low sulphur marine gas oil (or LSMGO). Certain
modifications were necessary in order to optimize operation on LSMGO of equipment originally designed to operate on Heavy Fuel Oil (or HFO). In
27
addition, LSMGO is more expensive than HFO and this will impact the costs of operations. However, for vessels employed on fixed term business,
all fuel costs, including any increases, are borne by the charterer. Our exposure to increased cost is in our spot trading vessels, although our
competitors bear a similar cost increase as this is a regulatory item applicable to all vessels. All required vessels in our fleet trading to and within
regulated low sulphur areas are able to comply with fuel requirements.
North Sea
Our shuttle tankers primarily operate in the North Sea. In addition to the regulations imposed by the IMO and EU, countries having jurisdiction over
North Sea areas impose regulatory requirements in connection with operations in those areas, including HSE in the United Kingdom and NPD in
Norway. These regulatory requirements, together with additional requirements imposed by operators in North Sea oil fields, require that we make
further expenditures for sophisticated equipment, reporting and redundancy systems on the shuttle tankers and for the training of seagoing staff.
Additional regulations and requirements may be adopted or imposed that could limit our ability to do business or further increase the cost of doing
business in the North Sea. In Brazil, Petrobras serves in a regulatory capacity, and has adopted standards similar to those in the North Sea.
In Norway, the Norwegian Pollution Control Authority requires the installation of volatile organic compound emissions (or VOC equipment) on most
shuttle tankers serving the Norwegian continental shelf. Oil companies bear the cost to install and operate the VOC equipment onboard the shuttle
tankers.
United States
The United States has enacted an extensive regulatory and liability regime for the protection and cleanup of the environment from oil spills, including
discharges of oil cargoes, bunker fuels or lubricants, primarily through the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (or OPA 90) and the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (or CERCLA). OPA 90 affects all owners, bareboat charterers, and operators whose
vessels trade to the United States or its territories or possessions or whose vessels operate in United States waters, which include the U.S.
territorial sea and 200-mile exclusive economic zone around the United States. CERCLA applies to the discharge of “hazardous substances” rather
than “oil” and imposes strict joint and several liability upon the owners, operators or bareboat charterers of vessels for cleanup costs and damages
arising from discharges of hazardous substances. We believe that petroleum products and LNG and LPG should not be considered hazardous
substances under CERCLA, but additives to oil or lubricants used on LNG or LPG carriers and other vessels might fall within its scope.
Under OPA 90, vessel owners, operators and bareboat charters are “responsible parties” and are jointly, severally and strictly liable (unless the oil
spill results solely from the act or omission of a third party, an act of God or an act of war and the responsible party reports the incident and
reasonably cooperates with the appropriate authorities) for all containment and cleanup costs and other damages arising from discharges or
threatened discharges of oil from their vessels. These other damages are defined broadly to include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
natural resources damages and the related assessment costs;
real and personal property damages;
net loss of taxes, royalties, rents, fees and other lost revenues;
lost profits or impairment of earning capacity due to property or natural resources damage;
net cost of public services necessitated by a spill response, such as protection from fire, safety or health hazards; and
loss of subsistence use of natural resources.
OPA 90 limits the liability of responsible parties in an amount it periodically updates. The liability limits do not apply if the incident was proximately
caused by violation of applicable U.S. federal safety, construction or operating regulations, including IMO conventions to which the United States is
a signatory, or by the responsible party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or if the responsible party fails or refuses to report the incident or to
cooperate and assist in connection with the oil removal activities. Liability under CERCLA is also subject to limits unless the incident is caused by
gross negligence, willful misconduct or a violation of certain regulations. We currently maintain for each of our vessel’s pollution liability coverage in
the maximum coverage amount of $1 billion per incident. A catastrophic spill could exceed the coverage available, which could harm our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
Under OPA 90, with limited exceptions, all newly built or converted tankers delivered after January 1, 1994 and operating in U.S. waters must be
double-hulled. All of our existing tankers are double-hulled.
OPA 90 also requires owners and operators of vessels to establish and maintain with the United States Coast Guard (or Coast Guard) evidence of
financial responsibility in an amount at least equal to the relevant limitation amount for such vessels under the statute. The Coast Guard has
implemented regulations requiring that an owner or operator of a fleet of vessels must demonstrate evidence of financial responsibility in an amount
sufficient to cover the vessel in the fleet having the greatest maximum limited liability under OPA 90 and CERCLA.Evidence of financial
responsibility may be demonstrated by insurance, surety bond, self-insurance, guaranty or an alternate method subject to approval by the Coast
Guard. Under the self-insurance provisions, the shipowner or operator must have a net worth and working capital, measured in assets located in the
United States against liabilities located anywhere in the world, that exceeds the applicable amount of financial responsibility. We have complied with
the Coast Guard regulations by using self-insurance for certain vessels and obtaining financial guaranties from a third party for the remaining
vessels. If other vessels in our fleet trade into the United States in the future, we expect to provide guaranties through self-insurance or obtain
guaranties from third-party insurers.
OPA 90 and CERCLA permit individual U. S. states to impose their own liability regimes with regard to oil or hazardous substance pollution
incidents occurring within their boundaries, and some states have enacted legislation providing for unlimited strict liability for spills. Several coastal
states, such as California, Washington and Alaska require state-specific evidence of financial responsibility and vessel response plans. We intend to
comply with all applicable state regulations in the ports where our vessels call.
28
Owners or operators of vessels, including tankers operating in U.S. waters are required to file vessel response plans with the Coast Guard, and their
tankers are required to operate in compliance with their Coast Guard approved plans. Such response plans must, among other things:
•
•
•
address a “worst case” scenario and identify and ensure, through contract or other approved means, the availability of necessary
private response resources to respond to a “worst case discharge”;
describe crew training and drills; and
identify a qualified individual with full authority to implement removal actions.
We have filed vessel response plans with the Coast Guard and have received its approval of such plans. In addition, we conduct regular oil spill
response drills in accordance with the guidelines set out in OPA 90. The Coast Guard has announced it intends to propose similar regulations
requiring certain vessels to prepare response plans for the release of hazardous substances.
OPA 90 and CERCLA do not preclude claimants from seeking damages resulting from the discharge of oil and hazardous substances under other
applicable law, including maritime tort law. Such claims could include attempts to characterize the transportation of LNG or LPG aboard a vessel as
an ultra-hazardous activity under a doctrine that would impose strict liability for damages resulting from that activity. The application of this doctrine
varies by jurisdiction.
The United States Clean Water Act also prohibits the discharge of oil or hazardous substances in U.S. navigable waters and imposes strict liability
in the form of penalties for unauthorized discharges. The Clean Water Act imposes substantial liability for the costs of removal, remediation and
damages and complements the remedies available under OPA 90 and CERCLA discussed above.
Our vessels that discharge certain effluents, including ballast water, in U.S. waters must obtain a Clean Water Act permit from the Environmental
Protection Agency (or EPA) titled the "Vessel General Permit" and comply with a range of best management practices, reporting, inspections and
other requirements. The Vessel General Permit incorporates Coast Guard requirements for ballast water exchange and includes specific
technology-based requirements for vessels. Several U.S. states have added specific requirements to the Vessel General Permit and, in some
cases, may require vessels to install ballast water treatment technology to meet biological performance standards. We believe that the EPA may
add requirements related to ballast water treatment technology to the Vessel General Permit requirements between 2012 and 2016 to correspond
with the IMO's adoption of similar requirements as discussed above.
Since 2009, several environmental groups and industry associations have filed challenges in U.S. federal court to the EPA’s issuance of the Vessel
General Permit. These cases have not yet been resolved.
Greenhouse Gas Regulation
In February 2005, the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (or the Kyoto Protocol) entered into force.
Pursuant to the Kyoto Protocol, adopting countries are required to implement national programs to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. In
December 2009, more than 27 nations, including the United States, entered into the Copenhagen Accord. The Copenhagen Accord is non-binding,
but is intended to pave the way for a comprehensive, international treaty on climate change. The IMO is evaluating various mandatory measures to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping, which may include market-based instruments or a carbon tax. The European Union
also has indicated that it intends to propose an expansion of an existing EU emissions trading regime to include emissions of greenhouse gases
from vessels, and individual countries in the EU may impose additional requirements. In the United States, the EPA issued an “endangerment
finding” regarding greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. While this finding in itself does not impose any requirements on our industry, it
authorizes the EPA to regulate directly greenhouse gas emissions through a rule-making process. In addition, climate change initiatives are being
considered in the United States Congress and by individual states. Any passage of new climate control legislation or other regulatory initiatives by
the IMO, European Union, the United States or other countries or states where we operate that restrict emissions of greenhouse gases could have a
significant financial and operational impact on our business that we cannot predict with certainty at this time.
Vessel Security
The ISPS was adopted by the IMO in December 2002 in the wake of heightened concern over worldwide terrorism and became effective on July 1,
2004. The objective of ISPS is to enhance maritime security by detecting security threats to ships and ports and by requiring the development of
security plans and other measures designed to prevent such threats. The United States implemented ISPS with the adoption of the Maritime
Transportation Security Act of 2002 (or MTSA), which requires vessels entering U.S. waters to obtain certification by the Coast Guard of plans to
respond to emergency incidents there, including identification of persons authorized to implement the plans. Each of the existing vessels in our fleet
currently complies with the requirements of ISPS and MTSA.
C. Organizational Structure
Our organizational structure includes, among others, our interests in Teekay Offshore and Teekay LNG. These limited partnerships were set up
primarily to hold our assets that generate long-term fixed-rate cash flows. The strategic rationale for establishing these entities was to:
•
•
•
•
illuminate higher value of fixed-rate cash flows to Teekay investors;
realize advantages of a lower cost of equity when investing in new offshore or LNG projects;
enhance returns to Teekay through fee-based revenue and ownership of the limited partnership’s incentive distribution rights, which entitle
the holder to disproportionate distributions of available cash as cash distribution levels to unit holders increase; and
access to capital to grow each of our businesses in offshore, LNG, and conventional tankers.

Teekay LNG is a Marshall Islands limited partnership formed by us in 2005 as part of our strategy to expand our operations in the LNG and LPG
shipping sectors. Teekay LNG provides LNG, LPG and crude oil marine transportation service under long-term, fixed-rate contracts with major
energy and utility companies through its fleet of 17 LNG carriers, five LPG carriers (including three newbuildings), ten Suezmax tankers and one
product tanker. In April 2011, Teekay LNG completed a public offering of 4.3 million common units (including 0.6 million common units issued upon
the partial exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option) at a price of $38.88 per unit, for gross proceeds (including the general partner’s
proportionate capital contribution) of approximately $168.7 million. Please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 25(e) – Subsequent Events.
Teekay Offshore is a Marshall Islands limited partnership formed by us in 2006 as part of our strategy to expand our operations in the offshore oil
marine transportation, processing and storage sectors. As of December 31, 2010, Teekay Offshore owned 51% of OPCO, including its 0.01%
general partner interest. OPCO owns and operates a fleet of 33 of our shuttle tankers (including six chartered-in vessels), four of our FSO units, and
11 of our conventional Aframax tankers. In addition, Teekay Offshore has direct ownership interests in two of our shuttle tankers, two of our FSO
units and two of our FPSO units. All of OPCO’s vessels operate under long-term, fixed-rate contracts. At December 31, 2010, we directly owned
49% of OPCO and 28.3% of Teekay Offshore, including our 2% general partner interest. As a result, we effectively owned 63.4% of OPCO. Teekay
Offshore also has rights to participate in certain FPSO opportunities relating to Teekay Petrojarl. Pursuant to an omnibus agreement we entered into
in connection with Teekay Offshore's initial public offering in 2006, we have also agreed to offer to Teekay Offshore existing FPSO units of Teekay
Petrojarl that are servicing contracts in excess of three years in length. In March 2011, we sold our remaining 49% direct interest in OPCO to
30
Teekay Offshore. The sale increased Teekay Offshore's ownership of OPCO from 51% to 100%. Please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note
25(d) – Subsequent Events.
In December 2007, we added Teekay Tankers to our structure. Teekay Tankers is a Marshall Islands corporation formed by us to facilitate the
growth of our conventional tanker business. As at December 31, 2010, Teekay Tankers owned a fleet of nine of our double-hull Aframax tankers, six
double-hull Suezmax tankers and one VLCC newbuilding, which trade in the spot tanker market and short- or medium-term, fixed-rate time-charter
market. Teekay Tanker’s primary objective is to grow through the acquisition of conventional tanker assets from third parties and from us. Through a
wholly-owned subsidiary, we provide Teekay Tankers with commercial, technical, administrative, and strategic services under a long-term
management agreement. In exchange, Teekay Tankers has agreed to pay us both a market-based fee and a performance fee under certain
circumstances to motivate us to increase Teekay Tankers’ cash available for distribution to its stockholders. In February 2011, Teekay Tankers
completed a public offering of 9.9 million common shares of its Class A Common Stock (including 1.3 million common shares issued upon the
exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option) at a price of $11.33 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $112.1 million. Teekay
Tankers used the net offering proceeds to repay a portion of its outstanding debt under its revolving credit facility. Please read Item 18 – Financial
Statements: Note 25(b) – Subsequent Events.
Teekay has entered into an omnibus agreement with Teekay LNG, Teekay Offshore and related parties governing, among other things, when
Teekay, Teekay LNG, and Teekay Offshore may compete with each other and certain rights of first offer on LNG carriers, oil tankers, shuttle
tankers, FSO units and FPSO units. In addition, Teekay Tankers has agreed that we may pursue business opportunities attractive to both parties.
D. Properties
Other than our vessels, we do not have any material property.
E. Taxation of the Company
The following discussion is a summary of the principal tax laws applicable to us. The following discussion of tax matters, as well as the conclusions
regarding certain issues of tax law that are reflected in such discussion, are based on current law. No assurance can be given that changes in or
interpretation of existing laws will not occur or will not be retroactive or that anticipated future factual matters and circumstances will in fact occur.
Our views have no binding effect or official status of any kind, and no assurance can be given that the conclusions discussed below would be
sustained if challenged by taxing authorities.
United States Taxation
The following discussion is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or the Code), applicable U.S. Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial authority and administrative interpretations, as of the date of this Annual Report, all of which are
subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or are subject to different interpretations.
Taxation of Operating Income. A significant portion of our gross income will be attributable to the transportation of crude oil and related products.
For this purpose, gross income attributable to transportation (or Transportation Income) includes income derived from, or in connection with, the use
(or hiring or leasing for use) of a vessel to transport cargo, or the performance of services directly related to the use of any vessel to transport cargo,
and thus includes both time-charter or bareboat charter income.
Transportation Income that is attributable to transportation that begins or ends, but that does not both begin and end, in the United States (or U.S.
Source International Transportation Income) will be considered to be 50% derived from sources within the United States. Transportation Income
attributable to transportation that both begins and ends in the United States (or U.S. Source Domestic Transportation Income) will be considered to
be 100% derived from sources within the United States. Transportation Income attributable to transportation exclusively between non-
U.S. destinations will be considered to be 100% derived from sources outside the United States. Transportation Income derived from sources
outside the United States generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.
We have made special U.S. tax elections to treat as partnerships or disregarded as entities separate from us for U.S. federal income tax purposes
some of our vessel-owning or vessel-operating subsidiaries that are potentially engaged in activities which could give rise to U.S. Source
International Transportation Income. Other subsidiaries that are engaged in activities which could give rise to U.S. Source International
Transportation Income rely on our ability to claim exemption under Section 883 of the Code (or the Section 883 Exemption).
The Section 883 Exemption. In general, the Section 883 Exemption provides that if a non-U.S. corporation satisfies the requirements of Section
883 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (or the Section 883 Regulations), it will not be subject to the net basis and branch taxes
or 4.0% gross basis tax described below on its U.S. Source International Transportation Income. The Section 883 Exemption only applies to U.S.
Source International Transportation Income. As discussed below, we believe the Section 883 Exemption will apply and we will not be taxed on our
U.S. Source International Transportation Income. The Section 883 Exemption does not apply to U.S. Source Domestic Transportation Income.
A non-U.S. corporation will qualify for the Section 883 Exemption if it is organized in a jurisdiction outside the United States that grants an equivalent
exemption from tax to corporations organized in the United States (or an Equivalent Exemption), it satisfies one of three ownership tests (or the
Ownership Test) described in the Final Section 883 Regulations and it meets certain substantiation, reporting and other requirements.
We are organized under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The U.S. Treasury Department has recognized the Republic of the
Marshall Islands as a jurisdiction that grants an Equivalent Exemption. Consequently, our U.S. Source International Transportation Income
(including for this purpose, any such income earned by our subsidiaries that have properly elected to be treated as partnerships or disregarded as
entities separate from us for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will be exempt from U.S. federal income taxation provided we meet the Ownership
Test described in the Section 883 Regulations. We believe that we should satisfy the Ownership Test because our stock is primarily and regularly
traded on an established securities market in the United States within the meaning of the Section 883 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder. We can give no assurance that any changes in the ownership of our stock subsequent to the date of this report will permit us to
continue to qualify for the Section 883 exemption.
31
The Net Basis Tax and Branch Profits Tax. If we earn U.S. Source International Transportation Income and the Section 883 Exemption does not
apply, such income may be treated as effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States (or Effectively Connected
Income) if we have a fixed place of business in the United States and substantially all of our U.S. Source International Transportation Income is
attributable to regularly scheduled transportation or, in the case of bareboat charter income, is attributable to a fixed placed of business in the United
States. Based on our current operations, none of our potential U.S. Source International Transportation Income is attributable to regularly scheduled
transportation or is received pursuant to bareboat charters attributable to a fixed place of business in the United States. As a result, we do not
anticipate that any of our U.S. Source International Transportation Income will be treated as Effectively Connected Income. However, there is no
assurance that we will not earn income pursuant to regularly scheduled transportation or bareboat charters attributable to a fixed place of business
in the United States in the future, which would result in such income being treated as Effectively Connected Income.
U.S. Source Domestic Transportation Income generally will be treated as Effectively Connected Income. However, we do not anticipate that any of
our income has or will be U.S. Source Domestic Transportation Income.
Any income we earn that is treated as Effectively Connected Income would be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax (the highest statutory
rate currently is 35%). In addition, if we earn income that is treated as Effectively Connected Income, a 30% branch profits tax imposed under
Section 884 of the Code generally would apply to such income, and a branch interest tax could be imposed on certain interest paid or deemed paid
by us.
On the sale of a vessel that has produced Effectively Connected Income, we could be subject to the net basis corporate income tax and to the 30%
branch profits tax with respect to our gain not in excess of certain prior deductions for depreciation that reduced Effectively Connected Income.
Otherwise, we would not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to gain realized on the sale of a vessel, provided the sale is considered
to occur outside of the United States under U.S. federal income tax principles.
The 4% Gross Basis Tax. If the Section 883 Exemption does not apply and the net basis tax does not apply, we would be subject to a 4.0% U.S.
federal income tax on the U.S. source portion of our gross U.S. Source International Transportation Income, without benefit of deductions. For 2010,
we estimate the U.S. federal income tax on such U.S. Source International Transportation Income would have been approximately $4 million. In
addition, we estimate that certain of our subsidiaries that are unable to claim the Section 883 Exemption were subject to less than $500,000 in the
aggregate of U.S. federal income tax on the U.S. source portion of their U.S. Source International Transportation Income for 2010 and we estimate
that these subsidiaries will be subject to less than $750,000 in the aggregate of U.S. federal income tax on the U.S. source portion of their U.S.
Source International Transportation Income in subsequent years. The amount of such tax for which we or our subsidiaries may be liable for in any
year will depend upon the amount of income we earn from voyages into or out of the United States in such year, however, which is not within our
complete control.
Marshall Islands Taxation
We believe that neither we nor our subsidiaries will be subject to taxation under the laws of the Marshall Islands, or that distributions by our
subsidiaries to us will be subject to any taxes under the laws of the Marshall Islands.
Other Taxation
We and our subsidiaries are subject to taxation in certain non- U.S. jurisdictions because we or our subsidiaries are either organized, or conduct
business or operations, in such jurisdictions. We intend that our business and the business of our subsidiaries will be conducted and operated in a
manner that minimizes taxes imposed upon us and our subsidiaries. However, we cannot assure this result as tax laws in these or other jurisdictions
may change or we may enter into new business transactions relating to such jurisdictions, which could affect our tax liability. Please read Item 18 –

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Teekay Corporation (or Teekay) is a leading provider of international crude oil and gas marine transportation services and we also offer offshore oil
production, storage and offloading services, primarily under long-term, fixed-rate contracts. Over the past decade, we have undergone a major
transformation from being primarily an owner of ships in the cyclical spot tanker business to being a growth-oriented asset manager in the “Marine
Midstream” sector. This transformation has included the expansion into the liquefied natural gas (or LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (or LPG)
shipping sectors through our publicly listed subsidiary Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (or Teekay LNG), further growth of our operations in the offshore
production, storage and transportation sector through our publicly listed subsidiary Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. (or Teekay Offshore) and through
Teekay Petrojarl AS (or Teekay Petrojarl), and expansion of our conventional tanker business through our publicly listed subsidiary Teekay Tankers
Ltd. (or Teekay Tankers). With a fleet of over 150 vessels, offices in 16 countries and approximately 6,400 seagoing and shore-based employees,
Teekay provides comprehensive marine services to the world’s leading oil and gas companies, helping them seamlessly link their upstream energy
production with their downstream refining and distribution, positioning us as The Marine Midstream Company.

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS IN 2010 AND EARLY 2011
Public Offering of Senior Unsecured Notes and Senior Unsecured Bonds
In January 2010, we completed a public offering of senior unsecured notes due January 2020, with a principal amount of $450 million and which
bear interest at a rate of 8.5% per year. We used a portion of the offering proceeds to repurchase the majority of our outstanding 8.875% senior
notes due 2011, and the remainder to repay amounts outstanding under a term loan and a portion of outstanding debt under one of our revolving
credit facilities. Please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 8 – Long-Term Debt.
In November 2010, Teekay Offshore issued 600 million Norwegian Kroner-denominated senior unsecured bonds that mature in November 2013.
The aggregate principal amount of the bonds is equivalent to $98.5 million U.S. dollars and bears interest at NIBOR plus 4.75% per annum. The
proceeds of the bonds are for general purposes including repayment of existing credit facility debt. Teekay Offshore has applied for listing of the
bonds on the Oslo Stock Exchange.
Public Offerings by and the Sales of Vessels to Teekay Offshore and the Purchase of Remaining Interest in OPCO by Teekay Offshore
During March 2010, Teekay Offshore completed a public offering of 5.1 million common units (including 660,000 units issued upon the exercise of
the underwriter’s overallotment option) at a price of $19.48 per unit, for gross proceeds of $100.6 million (including the general partner’s $2.0 million
proportionate capital contribution). Teekay Offshore used the total net proceeds from the offering of $95.5 million to repay the vendor financing of
$60.0 million we provided for the acquisition from us of the floating production, storage and offloading (or FPSO) unit, the Petrojarl Varg and to
finance a portion of the April 2010 acquisition from us of the floating storage and offtake (or FSO) unit, the Falcon Spirit, for $44.1 million.
During August 2010, Teekay Offshore completed a public offering of 6.0 million common units (including 787,500 units issued upon the exercise of
the underwriter’s overallotment option) at the price of $22.15 per unit, for gross proceeds of $136.5 million (including the general partner’s $2.7
million proportionate capital contribution). Teekay Offshore used the net proceeds of $130.4 million from the equity offering to repay a portion of its
outstanding debt under one of its revolving credit facilities.
During December 2010, Teekay Offshore completed a public offering of approximately 6.4 million common units (including 840,000 units issued
upon the exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option) at a price of $27.84 per unit, for gross proceeds of $182.9 million (including the general
partner’s $3.7 million proportionate capital contribution).
In March 2011, we sold our remaining 49% interest in OPCO to Teekay Offshore for a combination of $175 million in cash (less $15 million in
distributions made by OPCO to us between December 31, 2010 and the date of acquisition) and 7.6 million new Teekay Offshore common units. In
addition, Teekay Offshore issued to its general partner a sufficient general partner interest in order for it to maintain its 2% general partner interest.
The sale increased Teekay Offshore's ownership of OPCO from 51% to 100%.
As a result of the above transactions, our ownership of Teekay Offshore was reduced to 36.9% (including our 2% general partner interest) as of
March 31, 2011. We maintain control of Teekay Offshore by virtue of our control of the general partner and will continue to consolidate this
subsidiary.
Public Offerings by and the Sales of Vessels to Teekay Tankers
During April 2010, Teekay Tankers completed a public offering of approximately 8.8 million common shares of its Class A Common Stock (including
1.1 million common shares issued upon the partial exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option) at a price of $12.25 per share, for gross
proceeds of $107.5 million. Teekay Tankers used the total net proceeds from the offering as partial consideration to acquire from us for a total
purchase price of $168.7 million the following three vessels: the two Suezmax tankers, the Yamuna Spirit and the Kaveri Spirit, and the Aframax
tanker, the Helga Spirit. As part of the purchase price for these vessels, Teekay Tankers concurrently issued to us 2.6 million unregistered shares of
Class A Common Stock at the public offering price of $12.25 per share.
During October 2010, Teekay Tankers completed a public offering of approximately 8.6 million common shares of its Class A Common Stock
(including 395,000 common shares issued upon the partial exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option) at a price of $12.15 per share, for
gross proceeds of $104.4 million.
During November 2010, Teekay Tankers acquired from us one Aframax tanker, the Esther Spirit and one Suezmax tanker, the Iskmati Spirit for a
total of $107.5 million. The Esther Spirit is currently operating under a fixed-rate time-charter (with a profit share component) through July 2012 and
the Iskmati Spirit is trading in the spot market as part of Teekay's Gemini Suezmax tanker pool. Teekay Tankers financed the acquisitions by
drawing on its existing revolving credit facility.
During February 2011, Teekay Tankers completed a public offering of approximately 9.9 million common shares of its Class A Common Stock
(including 1.3 million common shares issued upon the exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option) at a price of $11.33 per share, for gross
proceeds of approximately $112.1 million. Teekay Tankers expects to use the net offering proceeds to repay a portion of its outstanding debt under
its revolving credit facility.
As a result of these transactions, our ownership of Teekay Tankers was reduced to 26.0% as of March 31, 2011. We maintain voting control of
Teekay Tankers through our ownership of shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock and will continue to consolidate this subsidiary.
Teekay LNG Direct Equity Placement, Exmar Joint Venture and Public Offering
During July 2010, Teekay LNG completed a direct equity placement of 1.7 million common units at a price of $29.18 per unit, for gross proceeds of
$51 million (including its general partner’s $1.0 million proportionate capital contribution).
33
In November 2010, Teekay LNG acquired a 50% interest in companies that own two LNG carriers (collectively the Exmar Joint Venture) from Exmar
NV for a total purchase price of approximately $72.5 million net of assumed debt. Teekay LNG paid $35.4 million of the purchase price by issuing to
Exmar NV 1.1 million of its common units and the balance of $34.9 million was financed by drawing on one of its revolving credit facilities. On the
date of the acquisition, the Exmar Joint Venture had $206.3 million of debt, of which 50% has been guaranteed by Teekay LNG. Exmar NV retains a
50% ownership interest in the Exmar Joint Venture. The two vessels acquired are the 2002-built Excalibur, a conventional LNG carrier, and the
2005-built Excelsior, a specialized gas carrier which can both transport and regasify LNG onboard. Both vessels are on long-term, fixed-rate charter
contracts to Excelerate Energy LP for firm periods until 2022 and 2025, respectively.
As a result of the direct equity placement and units issued to Exmar NV, our ownership of Teekay LNG was reduced to 46.8% (including our 2%
general partner interest) as at March 31, 2011. We maintain control of Teekay LNG by virtue of our control of the general partner and will continue to
consolidate this subsidiary.
In April 2011, Teekay LNG completed a public offering of 4.3 million common units (including 0.6 million common units issued upon the partial
exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option) at a price of $38.88 per unit, for gross proceeds (including the general partner’s proportionate
capital contribution) of approximately $168.7 million. Teekay LNG expects to use the net offering proceeds to fund the equity purchase price of its
acquisition from Teekay of a 33% interest in four newbuilding LNG carriers. These four LNG carriers will commence operations under time-charter to
the Angola LNG Project (discussed below) upon each vessel's respective delivery, scheduled between late 2011 and early 2012. Pending delivery
of the vessels, all interim and remaining net proceeds from the offering will be used to repay amounts outstanding on one of the Teekay LNG's
revolving credit facilities.
Sale of Vessels to Teekay LNG
In March 2010, Teekay LNG acquired from us two 2009-built Suezmax tankers, the Bermuda Spirit and the Hamilton Spirit, and one 2007-built
Handy-max product tanker, the Alexander Spirit, for a total purchase price of $160 million. Teekay LNG financed the acquisition by assuming $126
million of debt related to two of the vessels, borrowing $24 million under existing revolving credit facilities and using $10 million of cash. In addition,
Teekay LNG acquired approximately $15 million of working capital in exchange for a short-term vendor loan from us. The Bermuda Spirit and the
Hamilton Spirit are currently operating under 12-year fixed-rate contracts to Centrofin, an international owner of 28 vessels, and the Alexander Spirit
is currently employed on a 10-year fixed-rate contract to Caltex Australia Petroleum Pty Ltd.
First Priority Ship Mortgage Loans and 50/50 Joint Venture Arrangement
In July 2010, Teekay Tankers made an investment in loans totaling $115 million to a third party ship-owner (the Loans). The Loans bear interest at
an annual interest rate of 9% per annum and have a fixed term of three years. The Loans are repayable in full, together with a 3% premium of the
Loans then outstanding, on maturity and are secured by first-priority mortgages on two 2010-built Very Large Crude Carriers (or VLCCs) owned by
the ship-owner. Teekay Tankers financed the Loans by drawing on its revolving credit facility. Please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 4 –
Investment in Term Loans.
In September 2010, Teekay Tankers entered into a 50/50 joint venture arrangement (the Joint Venture) with Wah Kwong Maritime Transport
Holdings Limited to have a VLCC newbuilding constructed, managed and chartered to third parties. The VLCC has an estimated purchase price of
approximately $98 million, excluding capitalized interest and other miscellaneous construction costs. The vessel is expected to be delivered during
the second quarter of 2013. A third party has agreed to time-charter the vessel for a term of five years at a daily rate and has also agreed to pay the
Joint Venture 50% of any additional amounts if the daily rate of any sub-charter earned by the third party exceeds a certain threshold. As at
December 31, 2010, Teekay Tankers had made the first payment of $9.8 million to the Joint Venture. Please read Item 18 – Financial Statements:
Note 16(b) – Commitments and Contingencies – Joint Ventures.
In February 2011, we made a loan of approximately $70 million to a third party ship-owner. The loan bears interest at an interest rate of 9% per
annum and has a fixed term of three years. The loan is repayable in full on maturity and is collateralized by a first-priority mortgage on one 2011-
built VLCC owned by the ship-owner.
Foinaven FPSO Contract Amendment
In March 2010, we amended our operating contract with the operator (Britoil plc) of the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit and Foinaven co-venturers
(Britoil plc and certain of its affiliates and Marathon Petroleum), which also includes transportation services provided by two shuttle tankers. The
amended contract provides for operating services for the Foinaven field until at least 2021 and includes operating performance incentives that may
increase the revenue generated by the Foinaven FPSO unit.
The amended contract, which applied from January 1, 2010, is comprised of the following components: a daily rate, part of which is earned based
on agreed operating performance incentives (adjusted annually based on industry indices); a production tariff based on the volume of oil produced;
and a supplemental tariff based on both the volume of oil produced and the annual average Brent Crude Oil price. Based on crude oil prices at the
time the agreement was signed, we expect that under the amended contract the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit will generate incremental operating
cash flow and net income of approximately $30 million to $40 million per annum over the anticipated life of the contract period.
Under the amended contract, we received payments of approximately $30 million and $29.2 million in April 2010 and July 2010, respectively,
relating to the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit’s operations in previous years. We recognized approximately $30 million in revenue in the first quarter
of 2010 in conjunction with the signing of the amended agreement and approximately $29.2 million in revenue in the second quarter of 2010 upon
the completion of certain conditions.
Cidade de Rio das Ostras FPSO Contract Extension and the Sale of the FPSO to Teekay Offshore
In June 2010, we signed an agreement with the operator to extend the operating contract for the Cidade de Rio das Ostras FPSO unit (the Rio das
Ostras FPSO, previously known as the Siri FPSO) for an additional seven years through the end of 2017 in the Brazilian offshore sector. The Rio
34
das Ostras FPSO, which has operated at the Siri reservoir on the Badejo field in Brazil's Campos Basin since 2008, will be re-deployed to the
Aruana field in the Campos Basin following upgrades to prepare the unit for its new field. The upgrades are expected to be completed in April 2011.
Pursuant to an omnibus agreement that Teekay Offshore entered into with us in connection with its initial public offering in December 2006, we are
obligated to offer to Teekay Offshore our interest in certain shuttle tankers, FSO units and FPSO units and joint ventures we may acquire in the
future, provided the vessels are servicing contracts in excess of three years in length. Pursuant to an offer under this agreement, in October 2010
we sold the Rio das Ostras FPSO unit to Teekay Offshore, which is on a long-term charter to Petroleo Brasileiro SA (or Petrobras), for a price of
approximately $158 million, excluding working capital.
Petrojarl Cidade de Itajai FPSO Contract
In October 2010, we announced that we had signed a contract with Petrobras to provide a FPSO unit for the Tiro and Sidon fields located in the
Santos Basin offshore Brazil. The contract with Petrobras will be serviced by a newly converted FPSO unit, to be named the Petrojarl Cidade de
Itajai, which is currently under conversion from an existing Aframax tanker. The new FPSO is scheduled to deliver in the second quarter of 2012.
Upon delivery, the unit will commence operations under a nine-year, fixed-rate time-charter contract to Petrobras with six additional one-year
extension options. Pursuant to the omnibus agreement, we are obligated to offer to Teekay Offshore our interest in this FPSO project at our fully
built-up cost within 365 days after the commencement of the charter to Petrobras.
New Master Agreement with Statoil and the Sales of Newbuilding Shuttle Tankers to OPCO
In August 2010, Teekay Offshore Operating L.P. (or OPCO), a subsidiary of Teekay Offshore signed a life-of-field master agreement with Statoil
ASA (or Statoil) that replaces its existing volume-dependent contract of affreightment (or CoA), and covers fixed-rate, annual renewable time-charter
contracts initially for seven dedicated shuttle tankers. This new master agreement became effective September 1, 2010. Under the terms of the
master agreement, the vessels are chartered under individual fixed-rate annual renewable time-charter contracts to service the Tampen and
Haltenbanken fields on the Norwegian Continental Shelf for the remaining life of field. The number of shuttle tankers covered by the master
agreement may be adjusted annually based on the requirements of the fields serviced under the master agreement. The fixed-rate nature of time-
charter contracts under the master agreement are expected to provide OPCO with more seasonally stable and predictable cash flows compared to
the CoA arrangement. The vessels chartered under this agreement include or will include three newbuilding shuttle tankers that OPCO acquired
from us during 2010, as described below.
We took delivery of two Aframax shuttle tanker newbuildings in July 2010 and October 2010, respectively, and have two additional Aframax shuttle
tanker newbuildings under construction, scheduled for delivery in the first half of 2011, for a total delivered cost of approximately $500 million.
Pursuant to the omnibus agreement, we are obligated to offer to OPCO our interest in these vessels within 365 days of their delivery provided the
vessels are servicing charter contracts in excess of three years in length. On August 31, 2010, we offered to OPCO our interest in three of the four
newbuilding shuttle tankers at their fully built-up cost, which would be used to service the new master agreement with Statoil. In October 2010 and
December 2010, respectively, OPCO acquired the two newbuilding shuttle tankers, the Amundsen Spirit and Nansen Spirit, from us for
approximately $129 million per vessel (excluding working capital), and agreed to acquire one additional newbuilding shuttle tanker, the Peary Spirit,
from us for a purchase price of approximately $133 million, concurrent with the commencement of its time-charter contract under the master
agreement with Statoil in July 2011.
OTHER SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS
Angola LNG Project
We have a 33% interest in a joint venture that will charter four newbuilding 160,400-cubic meter LNG carriers for a period of 20 years to the Angola
LNG Project, which is being developed by subsidiaries of Chevron Corporation, Sociedade Nacional de Combustiveis de Angola EP, BP Plc, Total
S.A., and Eni SpA. Final award of the charter contract was made in December 2007. The vessels will be chartered at fixed rates, with inflation
adjustments, commencing in 2011. Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and NYK Bulkship (Europe) Ltd. have 34% and 33% interests in the joint venture, respectively.
In accordance with existing agreements, we are required to offer to Teekay LNG our 33% interest in these vessels and related charter contracts no
later than 180 days before the scheduled delivery dates of the vessels. Deliveries of the vessels are scheduled between August 2011 and January
2012. In February 2011, we offered to Teekay LNG our 33% ownership interest in these vessels and related charter contracts. In March 2011, the
transaction was approved by the Board of Directors of Teekay LNG’s general partner and by its Conflicts Committee. Please read Item 18 –
Financial Statements: Note 16(b) – Commitments and Contingencies – Joint Ventures.
IMPORTANT FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL TERMS AND CONCEPTS
We use a variety of financial and operational terms and concepts when analyzing our performance. These include the following:
Revenues. Revenues primarily include revenues from voyage charters, pool arrangements, time-charters accounted for under operating and direct
financing leases, contracts of affreightment and FPSO contracts. Revenues are affected by hire rates and the number of days a vessel operates and
the daily production volume on FPSO units. Revenues are also affected by the mix of business between time-charters, voyage charters, contracts of
affreightment and vessels operating in pool arrangements. Hire rates for voyage charters are more volatile, as they are typically tied to prevailing
market rates at the time of a voyage.
Forward Freight Agreements. We are exposed to freight rate risk for vessels in our spot tanker sub-segment from changes in spot tanker market
rates for vessels. In certain cases, we use forward freight agreements (or FFAs) to manage this risk. FFAs involve contracts to provide a fixed
number of theoretical voyages at fixed rates, thus hedging a portion of our exposure to the spot-charter market. These agreements are recorded as
assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. The Company has not designated these contracts as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Net
gains and losses from FFAs are recorded within realized and unrealized gain (loss) on non-designated derivative instruments in the consolidated
statements of income (loss).
Voyage Expenses. Voyage expenses are all expenses unique to a particular voyage, including any bunker fuel expenses, port fees, cargo loading
35
and unloading expenses, canal tolls, agency fees and commissions. Voyage expenses are typically paid by the customer under time-charters and
FPSO service contracts and by us under voyage charters and contracts of affreightment.
Net Revenues. Net revenues represent revenues less voyage expenses. Because the amount of voyage expenses we incur for a particular charter
depends upon the form of the charter, we use net revenues to improve the comparability between periods of reported revenues that are generated
by the different forms of charters and contracts. We principally use net revenues, a non-GAAP financial measure, because it provides more
meaningful information to us about the deployment of our vessels and their performance than revenues, the most directly comparable financial
measure under United States generally accepted accounting principles (or GAAP).
Vessel Operating Expenses. Under all types of charters and contracts for our vessels, except for bareboat charters, we are responsible for vessel
operating expenses, which include crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, lube oils and communication expenses. We expect these
expenses to increase as our fleet matures and to the extent that it expands.
Income from Vessel Operations. To assist us in evaluating our operations by segment, we analyze our income from vessel operations for each
segment, which represents the income we receive from the segment after deducting operating expenses, but prior to the deduction of interest
expense, realized and unrealized gains (losses) on non-designated derivative instruments, income taxes, foreign currency and other income and
losses.
Drydocking. We must periodically drydock each of our vessels for inspection, repairs and maintenance and any modifications to comply with
classification, industry certification or governmental requirements. Generally, we drydock each of our vessels every two and a half to five years,
depending upon the type of vessel and its age. In addition, a shipping society classification intermediate survey is performed on our LNG and LPG
carriers between the second and third year of the five-year drydocking period. We capitalize a substantial portion of the costs incurred during
drydocking and for the survey and amortize those costs on a straight-line basis from the completion of a drydocking or intermediate survey over the
estimated useful life of the drydock. We expense as incurred costs for routine repairs and maintenance performed during drydocking that do not
improve or extend the useful lives of the assets and annual class survey costs for our FPSO units. The number of drydockings undertaken in a given
period and the nature of the work performed determine the level of drydocking expenditures.
Depreciation and Amortization. Our depreciation and amortization expense typically consists of:
•
•
•
charges related to the depreciation and amortization of the historical cost of our fleet (less an estimated residual value) over the estimated
useful lives of our vessels;
charges related to the amortization of drydocking expenditures over the useful life of the drydock; and
charges related to the amortization of intangible assets, including the fair value of the time-charters, contracts of affreightment and
customer relationships where amounts have been attributed to those items in acquisitions; these amounts are amortized over the period in
which the asset is expected to contribute to our future cash flows.
Time-Charter Equivalent (TCE) Rates. Bulk shipping industry freight rates are commonly measured in the shipping industry at the net revenues
level in terms of “time-charter equivalent” (or TCE) rates, which represent net revenues divided by revenue days.
Revenue Days. Revenue days are the total number of calendar days our vessels were in our possession during a period, less the total number of
offhire days during the period associated with major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys. Consequently, revenue days represent
the total number of days available for the vessel to earn revenue. Idle days, which are days when the vessel is available for the vessel to earn
revenue, yet is not employed, are included in revenue days. We use revenue days to explain changes in our net revenues between periods.
Calendar-Ship-Days. Calendar-ship-days are equal to the total number of calendar days that our vessels were in our possession during a period.
As a result, we use calendar-ship-days primarily in explaining changes in vessel operating expenses, time-charter hire expense and depreciation
and amortization.
Restricted Cash Deposits. Under the terms of the tax leases for four of our LNG carriers, we are required to have on deposit with financial
institutions an amount of cash that, together with interest earned on the deposit, will equal the remaining amounts owing under the leases, including
the obligations to purchase the LNG carriers at the end of the lease periods, where applicable. During vessel construction, however, the amount of
restricted cash approximates the accumulated vessel construction costs. These cash deposits are restricted to being used for capital lease
payments and have been fully funded with term loans and loans from our joint venture partners. Please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note
10 – Capital Lease Obligations and Restricted Cash.
ITEMS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHEN EVALUATING OUR RESULTS
You should consider the following factors when evaluating our historical financial performance and assessing our future prospects:
• Our revenues are affected by cyclicality in the tanker markets. The cyclical nature of the tanker industry causes significant increases
or decreases in the revenue we earn from our vessels, particularly those we trade in the spot market. This could affect the amount of
dividends, if any, we pay on our common stock from period to period.
•
Tanker rates also fluctuate based on seasonal variations in demand. Tanker markets are typically stronger in the winter months as a
result of increased oil consumption in the Northern Hemisphere but weaker in the summer months as a result of lower oil consumption in
the Northern Hemisphere and increased refinery maintenance. In addition, unpredictable weather patterns during the winter months tend
to disrupt vessel scheduling, which historically has increased oil price volatility and oil trading activities in the winter months. As a result,
revenues generated by our vessels have historically been weaker during the quarters ended June 30 and September 30, and stronger in
the quarters ended December 31 and March 31.
36
•
The size of our fleet continues to change. Our results of operations reflect changes in the size and composition of our fleet due to
certain vessel deliveries, vessel dispositions and changes to the number of vessels we charter in. Please read “— Results of Operations”
below for further details about vessel dispositions, deliveries and vessels chartered in. Due to the nature of our business, we expect our
fleet to continue to fluctuate in size and composition.
• Our vessel operating expenses are facing industry-wide cost pressures. The oil shipping industry is experiencing a global manpower
shortage due to growth in the world fleet. This shortage resulted in significant crew wage increases during 2008 and to a lesser degree in
2009 and during the first half of 2010. Going forward we expect there will be more upward pressure on crew compensation which will result
in higher manning costs as we keep pace with market conditions. In addition, factors such as pressure on raw material prices and changes
in regulatory requirements could also increase operating expenditures. Although we continue to take measures to improve operational
efficiencies and mitigate the impact of inflation and price escalations, future increases to operational costs are inevitable.
• Our net income is affected by fluctuations in the fair value of our derivatives. Our cross currency and interest rate swap agreements
and some of our foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Although we believe these

The amount and timing of drydockings of our vessels can affect our revenues between periods. Our vessels are offhire at various
points of time due to scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. During 2010 and 2009 we incurred 1,083 and 650 offhire days relating to
drydocking, respectively. The financial impact from these periods of offhire, if material, is explained in further detail below in "--Results of
Operations”. Eighteen vessels are scheduled for drydocking in 2011.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In accordance with GAAP, we report gross revenues in our consolidated income statements and include voyage expenses among our operating
expenses. However, ship-owners base economic decisions regarding the deployment of their vessels upon anticipated TCE rates, and industry
analysts typically measure bulk shipping freight rates in terms of TCE rates. This is because under time-charter contracts and FPSO contracts the
customer usually pays the voyage expenses, while under voyage charters and contracts of affreightment the ship-owner usually pays the voyage
expenses, which typically are added to the hire rate at an approximate cost. Accordingly, the discussion of revenue below focuses on net revenues
and TCE rates of our four reportable segments where applicable.
We manage our business and analyze and report our results of operations on the basis of four segments: the shuttle tanker and FSO segment, the
FPSO segment, the liquefied gas segment, and the conventional tanker segment. In order to provide investors with additional information about our
conventional tanker segment, we have divided this operating segment into the fixed-rate tanker sub-segment and the spot tanker sub-segment.
Please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 2 – Segment Reporting.
Year Ended December 31, 2010 versus Year Ended December 31, 2009
Shuttle Tanker and FSO Segment
Our shuttle tanker and FSO segment (which includes our Teekay Navion Shuttle Tankers and Offshore business unit) includes our shuttle tankers
and FSO units. The shuttle tanker and FSO segment had two shuttle tankers under construction as at December 31, 2010. The two shuttle tankers
are scheduled for delivery between May 2011 and July 2011. Please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 16(a) – Commitments and
Contingencies – Vessels Under Construction. We use these vessels to provide transportation and storage services to oil companies operating
offshore oil field installations. All of these shuttle tankers provide transportation services to energy companies, primarily in the North Sea and Brazil.
Our shuttle tankers service the conventional spot market from time to time.
The following table presents our shuttle tanker and FSO segment’s operating results and compares its net revenues (which is a non-GAAP financial
measure) to revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The following table also provides a summary of the changes in
calendar-ship-days by owned and chartered-in vessels for our shuttle tanker and FSO segment:

Administrative Expenses.”
The average fleet size of our shuttle tanker and FSO segment (including vessels chartered-in), as measured by calendar-ship-days, increased
during 2010 compared to 2009. This was primarily the due to an FSO unit commencing operations in December 2009, the acquisition of a shuttle
tanker in February 2010, the delivery of two shuttle tankers, and partially offset by a decrease in the number of chartered-in shuttle tankers.
Net Revenues. Net revenues increased to $511.2 million for 2010, from $496.8 million for 2009, primarily due to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
an increase of $16.5 million due to increased rates on certain bareboat and time-charter contracts and contracts of affreightment, primarily
as a result of contract renewals at higher rates;
an increase of $10.6 million due to the inclusion of the Falcon Spirit, FSO unit commencing in December 2009;
an increase of $4.6 million due to the delivery of the two new shuttle tankers, the Amundsen Spirit and the Nansen Spirit, commencing in
July 2010 and October 2010, respectively;
an increase of $3.8 million due to foreign currency exchange differences as compared to 2009;
an increase of $1.0 million from an increase in the number of cargo liftings due to increased oil production at the Heidrun field, a mature oil
field in the North Sea that is serviced by certain shuttle tankers on contracts of affreightment; and
an increase of $0.8 million due to a payment made to us by a joint venture partner as the number of drydock days for the applicable vessel
exceeded the maximum allowed under our agreement with this joint venture partner;
partially offset by
•
•
a net decrease of $16.5 million from fewer shuttle tanker revenue days due to declining oil production at mature oil fields in the North Sea,
a decrease in revenue days in the conventional spot market from decreased demand for conventional crude transportation, partially offset
by an increase in revenues from certain projects; and
a decrease of $6.3 million due to the redelivery of one in-chartered vessel in June 2009 as it completed its time-charter contract.
Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased to $182.6 million for 2010, from $173.5 million for 2009, primarily due to:
•
•
•
•
•
an increase of $6.8 million due to the acquisition of a previously in-chartered shuttle tanker in February 2010;
an increase of $4.3 million due to the delivery of the two new shuttle tankers, the Amundsen Spirit and the Nansen Spirit, commencing in
July 2010 and October 2010, respectively;
an increase of $4.3 million relating to repairs and maintenance performed during 2010 on certain vessels, crew training costs and port
costs;
an increase of $3.3 million due to the inclusion of the Falcon Spirit FSO unit in December 2009; and
an increase of $3.2 million due to weakening of the U.S. Dollar against the Australian Dollar compared to 2009;
partially offset by
•
•
•
•
a decrease of $7.0 million relating to the net realized and unrealized changes in fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts that
are or have been designated as hedges for accounting purposes;
a decrease of $3.2 million in crew and manning costs resulting primarily from cost saving initiatives that commenced in 2009, as described
below under restructuring charges;
a decrease of $2.2 million due to decreases in the cost of services, spares and consumables during 2010; and
a decrease of $2.0 million due to the redelivery of one in-chartered vessel in June 2009 as it completed its time-charter agreement.
Time-Charter Hire Expense. Time-charter hire expense decreased to $89.8 million for 2010, from $113.8 million for 2009, primarily due to:
•
•
a decrease of $24.0 million primarily resulting from the redelivery of three in-chartered shuttles to their owners in June 2009, November
2009 and February 2010, upon expiration of their in-charter contracts; and
a decrease of $12.6 million due to the acquisition of a previously in-chartered shuttle tanker in February 2010;
38
partially offset by
•
•
an increase of $11.9 million due to less offhire in the in-chartered fleet and an increase in spot in-chartering of vessels; and
an increase of $0.7 million due to higher drydocking amortization relating to one of our in-chartered vessels.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $127.4 million for 2010, from $122.6 million for 2009, primarily
due to capitalized drydock and vessel upgrade costs incurred in the second half of 2009, depreciation on a shuttle tanker acquired in February 2010,
and two shuttle tankers that delivered in July and October 2010, partially offset by lower amortization on our FSO units as certain conversion costs
were fully depreciated at the end of a fixed-term contract in April 2010.
Loss on Sale of Vessels and Equipment – Net of Write-downs of Vessels and Equipment. Loss on sale of vessels and equipment for 2010 of $19.5
million was due to the write-down of certain shuttle equipment and a 1992-built shuttle tanker, as both the shuttle equipment and shuttle tanker
carrying values exceeded their estimated fair values. The shuttle tanker equipment was purchased for use in future shuttle tanker conversions or
new shuttle tankers.
Restructuring Charges. During 2010 and 2009, we incurred restructuring charges of $0.7 million and $7.0 million, respectively, primarily resulting
from the completion of the reflagging of certain vessels and a change in the nationality mix of our crews. We expect the restructuring will result in a
reduction in future crewing costs for these vessels.
FPSO Segment
Our FPSO segment (which includes our Teekay Petrojarl business unit) includes our FPSO units and other vessels used to service our FPSO
contracts. We use these units and vessels to provide transportation, production, processing and storage services to oil companies operating
offshore oil field installations. These services are typically provided under long-term, fixed-rate time-charter contracts, contracts of affreightment or
FPSO service contracts. Historically, the utilization of FPSO units and other vessels in the North Sea is higher in the winter months, as favorable
weather conditions in the summer months provide opportunities for repairs and maintenance to offshore oil platforms, which generally reduces oil
production.

Expenses.”
The average fleet size of our FPSO segment, as measured by calendar-ship-days, decreased during 2010 compared to 2009. This was the result of
one shuttle tanker, which was previously being held for a possible conversion to an FPSO unit, being converted to an FSO unit and transferred to
the shuttle tanker and FSO segment in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Revenues. Revenues increased to $463.9 million for 2010, from $390.6 million for 2009, primarily due to:
•
•
•
an increase of $59.2 million from payments received under the amended operating contract for our Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit related to
operations in previous years;
an increase of $27.0 million due to supplemental efficiency and tariff payments received under the amended Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO
contract; and
a net increase of $6.2 million from the Petrojarl Varg FPSO unit commencing operations under a new four-year fixed-rate contract
extension beginning in the third quarter of 2009, partially offset by a decrease in revenues resulting from a planned maintenance shutdown
of the unit in the third quarter of 2010;
partially offset by
•
a decrease of $20.1 million from the decrease in amortization of contract value liabilities relating to FPSO service contracts (as discussed
below).
39
As part of our acquisition of Teekay Petrojarl, we assumed certain FPSO service contracts that had terms that were less favorable than prevailing
market terms at the time of acquisition. This contract value liability, which was initially recognized on the date of acquisition, is being amortized to
revenue over the remaining firm period of the current FPSO contracts on a weighted basis, based on the projected revenue to be earned under the
contracts. The amount of amortization relating to these contracts included in revenue for 2010 was $47.6 million (2009 - $67.7 million). The
decrease in 2010, compared to 2009, was due to increases in the amortization periods resulting from operating contract amendments and changes
to expected contract durations for two of our FPSO units. Please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 6 – Goodwill, Intangible Assets and In-
Process Revenue Contracts.
Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased to $209.3 million for 2010, from $200.9 million for 2009, primarily due to
increases in crewing costs related to changes in crew classifications and wage increases and an increase in services and repairs due to the timing
of certain projects, which were incurred during scheduled maintenance shutdowns during 2010.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $95.8 million for 2010, from $102.3 million for 2009, primarily
due to a reassessment of the estimated residual value of the FPSO units in 2010.
Liquefied Gas Segment
Our liquefied gas segment (which includes our Teekay Gas Services business unit) consists of LNG and LPG carriers subject to long-term, fixed-
rate time-charter contracts. At December 31, 2010, we had one LPG carrier and two multi-gas carriers under construction, which are scheduled for
delivery in 2011. In addition, we have a 33% interest in four LNG carriers under construction that are scheduled for delivery between August 2011
and January 2012, and will be accounted for under the equity basis. Upon delivery, all of these vessels will commence operation under long-term,
fixed-rate time-charters. Please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 16(a) – Commitments and Contingencies – Vessels Under Construction
and Note 16(b) - Commitments and Contingencies – Joint Ventures.

Includes direct general and administrative expenses and indirect general and administrative expenses (allocated to the liquefied gas segment
based on estimated use of corporate resources). For further discussion, please read “Other Operating Results – General and Administrative
Expenses.”
The increase in the average fleet size of our liquefied gas segment, as measured by calendar-ship-days, was primarily due to the deliveries of one
LNG carrier in March 2009 (the Tangguh LNG Delivery) and two new LPG carriers in April 2009 and November 2009 (the LPG Deliveries), partially
offset by the sale of one LPG carrier in November 2010.
During 2010, two of our vessels, the Arctic Spirit and the Dania Spirit, were offhire for a total of 288 days, of which approximately 44 days were
related to scheduled drydockings of the two vessels, with the remainder due to the Arctic Spirit being offhire with no charter contract. The Arctic
Spirit commenced a new time-charter contract during the fourth quarter of 2010.
Net Revenues. Net revenues increased to $248.4 million for 2010, from $245.5 million for 2009, primarily due to:
•
•
•
an increase of $11.0 million due to the commencement of the time-charter related to the Tangguh LNG Delivery and an increase in the
time-charter rate for the Tangguh Hiri relating to the operating element of the time-charter;
an increase of $4.1 million due to the commencement of the time-charters related to the LPG Deliveries, respectively; and
an increase of $4.0 million due to the absence of offhire days in 2010 for the Galicia Spirit and Madrid Spirit compared to 53 offhire days
for these vessels in 2009 for scheduled drydocks;
partially offset by
40
•
•
•
•
a decrease of $11.6 million due to the Arctic Spirit being offhire during the majority of 2010 primarily due to the completion of its time-
charter contract in December 2009 and in part due to a scheduled drydocking;
a decrease of $2.9 million due to the effect on our Euro-denominated revenues from the weakening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar
compared to 2009;
a decrease of $0.9 million due to a decrease in the hire rate for the Polar Spirit as compared to 2009 as a result of crewing rate
adjustments; and
a decrease of $0.7 million due to the sale of an LPG carrier in November 2010.
Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses decreased to $46.5 million for 2010, from $50.7 million for 2009, primarily due to:
•
•
•
a decrease of $3.2 million due to the Arctic Spirit being laid up for most of 2010 and as a result, operating with a reduced number of crew
on board and with reduced repair and maintenance activities, as well as decreased crew and manning costs upon the change of manning
agency services of the Arctic Spirit and Polar Spirit LNG carriers in October 2009;
a decrease of $1.7 million as a result of our decision to cancel our loss-of-hire insurance coverage in 2009 and a reduction in manning
levels for certain of our LNG carriers; and
a decrease of $1.1 million due to the effect on our Euro-denominated expenses from the weakening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar
compared to 2009;
partially offset by
•
an increase of $1.5 million due to additional crew training expenses and crew manning relating to the delivery of the Tangguh Sago and
the Tangguh Hiri during 2009.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased to $62.9 million for 2010, from $59.9 million for 2009, primarily due to:
•
•
an increase of $3.0 million relating to depreciation of drydock expenditures incurred during the third and fourth quarters of 2009 and the
first quarter of 2010; and
an increase of $1.1 million from the LPG Deliveries;
partially offset by
•
a decrease of $0.9 million from the delivery of the Tangguh Sago in March 2009, prior to the commencement of the external time-charter
contract in May 2009, which is accounted for as a direct financing lease.
Gain on Sale of Vessels, Net of Write-downs of Vessels and Equipment. The $4.3 million gain on sale of vessels in 2010 relates to the sale of the
Dania Spirit, a 2000-built LPG carrier, in November 2010 for proceeds of $21.5 million.
Conventional Tanker Segment
Our conventional tanker segment consists of conventional crude oil and product tankers that are: subject to long-term, fixed-rate time-charter
contracts, which have an original term of one year or more; operate in the spot tanker market; or are subject to time-charters or contracts of
affreightment that are priced on a spot-market basis or are short-term, fixed-rate contracts, which have an original term of less than one year.
Effective January 1, 2010, the operating results of vessels that were employed on fixed rate time-charters and contracts of affreightment that had an
original duration of more than one year but less than three years have been included in the fixed-rate tanker sub-segment of the conventional
tankers segment. Previously, these operating results were included in our spot tanker sub-segment. The following operating results, TCE rates and
related period-to-period comparisons have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this change as if it had been made on January 1, 2008.
a) Fixed-Rate Tanker Sub-Segment
Our fixed-rate tanker sub-segment, a subset of our conventional tanker segment (which includes our Teekay Tankers Services business unit),
includes conventional crude oil and product tankers on fixed-rate time charters with an original duration of one year or more. In addition, we have a
50% interest in a VLCC under construction that is scheduled for delivery in 2013, which will be accounted for under the equity basis. Upon delivery,
this vessel will commence operation under a time-charter for a term of five years. Please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 16(b) –
Commitments and Contingencies – Joint Ventures.
The following table presents our fixed-rate tanker sub-segment’s operating results and compares its net revenues (which is a non-GAAP financial

Administrative Expenses.”
The average fleet size of our fixed-rate tanker sub-segment (including vessels chartered-in), as measured by calendar-ship-days, increased in 2010
compared to 2009. This increase was primarily the result of:
•
•
•
•
the delivery of two new Suezmax tankers in June 2009 (the Suezmax Deliveries);
the purchase of a 2007-built product tanker which commenced a 10-year fixed-rate time-charter contract to Caltex Australia Petroleum Pty
Ltd. in September 2009;
the transfer of five Suezmax tankers from the spot tanker sub-segment between September 2009 and April 2010 (the Suezmax Transfers);
and
the transfer of one Aframax tanker, on a net basis, from the spot tanker sub-segment in each of 2009 and 2010 upon commencement of
long-term time-charters, which have an original term of one year or more (the Aframax Transfers);
partially offset by
•
•
•
the transfer of two product tankers to the spot tanker sub-segment in July 2009 and January 2010 (the Product Tanker Transfers);
the sale of two product tankers in October 2009 and August 2010 and the sale of two Aframax tankers in November 2009 and January
2010 (collectively, the Vessel Sales); and
an overall decrease in the number of in-chartered vessels.
The Aframax Transfers, discussed above, consist of the transfer of five owned vessels and three in-chartered vessels from the spot tanker sub-
segment, and the transfer of four owned vessels and three in-chartered vessels to the spot tanker sub-segment. The effect of the transactions are to
increase the fixed tanker sub-segment’s net revenues, time-charter hire expense, vessel operating expenses, and depreciation and amortization.
Net Revenues. Net revenues decreased to $378.1 million for 2010, from $379.8 million for 2009, primarily due to:
•
•
•
•
a decrease of $29.5 million from the Vessel Sales;
a decrease of $24.9 million from the redelivery of in-chartered vessels to their owners upon the expiration of the related in-charter
contracts;
a decrease of $4.7 million from the Product Tanker Transfers; and
a decrease of $3.8 million due to the Tenerife Spirit, the Algeciras Spirit and the Toledo Spirit being offhire for 73, 63 and 15 days in 2010
for scheduled drydockings;
partially offset by
•
an increase of $35.9 million from the Aframax Transfers and the Suezmax Transfers;
42
•
•
•
an increase of $10.2 million from the Suezmax Deliveries;
an increase of $9.2 million from the purchase of a product tanker in September 2009; and
an increase of $5.3 million resulting from interest income from an investment in term loans, as discussed below.
We earned interest income from an investment in term loans of $115 million. This investment earns a total yield of approximately 10%. Our
subsidiary Teekay Tankers entered into this transaction in July 2010. Please read Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 4 – Investment in Term
Loans.
Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased to $109.5 million for 2010, from $96.2 million for 2009, primarily due to:
•
•
•
an increase of $19.8 million from the Aframax Transfers, Product Tanker Transfers, and Suezmax Transfers;
an increase of $5.1 million from the purchase of a product tanker and the increased costs associated with certain vessels being changed
to Australian crewing as part of new time-charter contracts with a customer in Australia; and
an increase of $1.5 million from the Suezmax Deliveries;
partially offset by
•
•
a decrease of $9.4 million from the Vessel Sales; and
a decrease of $2.0 million relating to lower crewing costs and the timing of repairs and maintenance costs.
Time-Charter Hire Expense. Time-charter hire expense decreased to $60.5 million for 2010, from $75.5 million for 2009, primarily due to a decrease
in the number of in-chartered vessel days as vessels were redelivered to their owners upon expiration of in-charter contracts.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $82.7 million for 2010, from $67.0 million for 2009, primarily due
to:
•
•
•
•
an increase of $20.7 million from the Aframax and Suezmax Transfers;
an increase of $2.8 million from the Suezmax Deliveries;
an increase of $0.9 million from the purchase of a product tanker in September 2009; and
a net increase of $0.8 million from an increase in amortization of capitalized vessels and equipment costs, partially offset by a decrease in
amortization of capitalized drydocking expenditures;
partially offset by
•
•
a decrease of $5.6 million from the Vessel Sales and Product Tanker Transfers; and
a decrease of $3.9 million due to certain intangible assets related to time-charter contracts being fully amortized in 2009.
b) Spot Tanker Sub-Segment
Our spot tanker sub-segment, a subset of our conventional tanker segment (which includes our Teekay Tankers Services business unit), consists of
conventional crude oil tankers and product carriers operating on the spot tanker market or subject to time-charters or contracts of affreightment that
are priced on a spot-market basis or are short-term, fixed-rate contracts. We consider contracts that have an original term of less than one year in
duration to be short-term. Our conventional Aframax, Suezmax, and large and medium product tankers are among the types of vessels included in
the spot tanker sub-segment.
Our spot tanker market operations contribute to the volatility of our revenues, cash flow from operations and net income (loss). Historically, the
tanker industry has been cyclical, experiencing volatility in profitability and asset values resulting from changes in the supply of, and demand for,
vessel capacity. In addition, spot tanker markets historically have exhibited seasonal variations in charter rates. Spot tanker markets are typically
stronger in the winter months as a result of increased oil consumption in the Northern Hemisphere and unpredictable weather patterns that tend to
disrupt vessel scheduling.
The following table presents our spot tanker sub-segment’s operating results and compares its net revenues (which is a non-GAAP financial
measure) to revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The following table also provides a summary of the changes in
calendar-ship-days by owned and chartered-in vessels for our spot tanker sub-segment:

The average size of our spot tanker sub-segment (including vessels chartered-in), as measured by calendar-ship-days, decreased in 2010
compared to 2009, primarily due to:
•
•
•
•
an overall decrease in the number of in-chartered vessels;
the sale of two product tankers in May 2009 and two Aframax tankers in April 2010 and August 2010 (the Spot Vessel Sales);
the transfer of five Suezmax tankers to the fixed-rate tanker sub-segment between September 2009 and April 2010 (the Spot Suezmax
Transfers); and
the transfer of one Aframax tanker, on a net basis, to the fixed-rate tanker sub-segment in each of 2009 and 2010 (the Spot Aframax
Transfers);
partially offset by
•
•
the delivery of five new Suezmax tankers between January 2009 to December 2009 (the Spot Suezmax Deliveries); and
the transfer of two product tankers from the fixed-rate tanker sub-segment in July 2009 and January 2010 (the Product Tanker Transfers).
Tanker Market and TCE Rates
Average crude tanker freight rates during the fourth quarter of 2010 remained weak, despite relatively strong tanker demand. This was primarily the
result of an oversupply of vessels, as a result of net global fleet growth during 2010 and compounded by the return of vessels previously used for
temporary floating storage. This imbalance between tanker supply and demand prevented the typical winter rally in rates from occurring, although a
short-lived strengthening of rates was experienced towards the end of the fourth quarter when cold winter weather in Europe and North America led
to an increase in both oil demand and weather related transit delays. Tanker rates have remained at relatively weak levels during the first quarter of
2011. Rising bunker fuel prices during the fourth quarter of 2010 and continuing into 2011 have adversely impacted spot tanker earnings.
During 2010, the world tanker fleet grew by 19.7 million deadweight tonnes (or mdwt), or 4.6%, compared to 28.8 mdwt, or 7.1%, in 2009. A total of
41.2 mdwt of new vessel capacity was delivered into the global fleet, partially offset by tanker removals which increased to 21.4 mdwt in 2010, the
highest annual figure since 2003, primarily due to the regulatory phase-out of single-hull tankers and the conversion of tankers for use in dry-bulk or
offshore projects. Tanker delivery schedule for 2011 is expected to be comparable to 2010. However, with the phase-out of single-hull tankers now
substantially complete, the scope for tanker scrapping in 2011 is expected to focus on first generation double-hull tankers, which face increasing
age discrimination from customers.
Global oil demand in 2010 grew by 2.8 million barrels per day (or mb/d), or 3.3%, the highest figure since 2004. As a result, 2010 tanker demand is
estimated to have grown by approximately 7%. In January 2011, the International Monetary Fund increased its forecast for 2011 global economic
growth to 4.4%, from 4.2% previously, based on strength in developing and emerging economies. As a result, the International Energy Agency has
raised its global oil demand forecast for 2011 to 89.3 mb/d, an increase of 1.5 mb/d, or 1.7%, from 2010.
The following table outlines the TCE rates earned by the vessels in our spot tanker sub-segment for 2010, 2009 and 2008, and excludes the
realized results of synthetic time-charters (or STCs) and forward freight agreements (or FFAs), which we enter into at times as hedges against a
portion of our exposure to spot tanker market rates.

(1) Spot fleet includes short-term time-charters and fixed-rate contracts of affreightment less than one year.
(2)
Includes the cost of spot in-charter vessels servicing fixed-rate contract of affreightment cargoes, the amortization of in-process revenue
contracts and the cost of fuel while offhire.
Spot tanker rates declined significantly in 2009 compared to 2008. These declines were the result of a reduction in global oil demand that was
caused by a slowdown in global economic activity that began in the latter part of 2008. The spot tanker rates for 2010 generally reflect continued
weak global oil demand caused by the global economic slowdown. Partially in response to this global economic slowdown, we reduced our
exposure to the spot tanker market through the sale of certain vessels that were trading on the spot market, entered into fixed-rate time charters for
certain tankers that were previously trading in the spot market, and re-delivered in-chartered vessels. This shift away from our spot tanker
employment to fixed-rate employment provided increased cash flow stability through a volatile spot tanker market.
Net Revenues. Net revenues decreased to $222.2 million for 2010, from $365.3 million for 2009, primarily due to:
•
•
•
•
•
a decrease of $88.7 million from a decrease in the number of in-chartered vessels, as we continued to reduce our exposure to the spot
tanker market by redelivering in-chartered vessels to their owners upon the expiration of in-charter contracts;
a decrease of $46.5 million from the Spot Aframax Transfers and Spot Suezmax Transfers;
a decrease of $12.3 million primarily from decreases in our average spot tanker TCE rates due to the relative weakening of the spot tanker
market, a decrease in the amortization of contract value liabilities relating to certain spot tanker contracts and an increase in the cost of
fuel for offhire vessels;
a decrease of $11.9 million from an increase in the number of days our vessels were offhire due to regularly scheduled maintenance; and
a decrease of $11.8 million from the Spot Vessel Sales;
partially offset by
•
•
an increase of $21.7 million from the Spot Suezmax Deliveries; and
an increase of $6.4 million from the Product Tanker Transfers.
Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses decreased to $82.7 million for 2010, from $94.6 million for 2009, primarily due to:
•
•
•
a decrease of $12.5 million from the Spot Aframax Transfers and Spot Suezmax Transfers;
a decrease of $5.7 million from the Spot Vessel Sales; and
a decrease of $4.4 million from lower crewing costs due to the positive impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, a reduction
in the number of crew on some vessels, as well as lower repairs and maintenance and consumable costs resulting from the review and
renegotiation of several key supplier contracts during 2009;
partially offset by
•
•
an increase of $4.4 million from the Product Tanker Transfers; and
an increase of $6.3 million from the Spot Suezmax Deliveries.
Time-Charter Hire Expense. Time-charter hire expense decreased to $108.9 million for 2010, from $240.1 million for 2009, primarily due to primarily
due to the decrease in the number of in-chartered vessels due to redelivery of these vessels to their owners upon expiration of in-charter contracts.
45
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $71.8 million for 2010, from $85.3 million for 2009, primarily
due to:
•
•
a decrease of $17.4 million from the Spot Aframax Transfers and Spot Suezmax Transfers; and
a decrease of $2.8 million from the Spot Vessel Sales;
partially offset by
•
•
an increase of $5.8 million from the Spot Suezmax Deliveries; and
an increase of $1.8 million from capitalized drydocking expenditures incurred during 2010, partially offset by a decrease in amortization of
capitalized vessels and equipment costs.
Loss (Gain) on Sale of Vessels and Equipment – Net of Write-downs of Intangible Assets and Vessels and Equipment. The $33.9 million loss on
sale of vessels and equipment in 2010 is primarily due to write-downs of $31.7 million for certain customer contracts and three vessel purchase
options which either expired unexercised or were unlikely to be exercised by us and a $1.9 million loss on the sale of a 1995-built Aframax tanker in
August 2010.
Restructuring Charges. During 2010, we incurred restructuring charges of $15.0 million primarily relating to costs incurred for certain vessel crew
changes relating to three of our vessels. We changed the crew operations being managed by an external management company to our own
international seafarers in order to reduce future crewing costs.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased to $193.7 million for 2010, from $198.8 million for 2009,
primarily due to:
•
•
•
a decrease of $5.0 million in salaries and benefits due to a decrease in average head-count relating to completion of the 2009 cost savings
initiatives discussed below;
a decrease of $3.4 million due to a favorable increase in unrealized and realized losses on foreign currency forward contracts; and
a decrease of $1.1 million in equity-based compensation for management;
partially offset by
•
•
•
an increase of $1.9 million from increased travel activity compared to 2009 levels due to the 2009 cost saving initiatives as discussed
below;
an increase of $1.6 million from our short-term incentive program for employees and management; and
an increase of $1.3 million from higher personnel expenses associated with relocation and hiring costs in Norway.
General and administrative expenses of $13.6 million relating to certain crew training expenses for 2009 were reclassified from general
administrative expenses to vessel operating expenses to conform to the presentation adopted in the current period.
During 2009, we initiated a company-wide review of our general and administrative expenses. We implemented various cost reduction initiatives,
including the relocation of shore-based positions to lower cost jurisdictions. These initiatives, as well as a reduction in business development
activities, also contributed to the decreases in corporate-related expenses in 2009 compared to the prior periods.
46
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $136.1 million for 2010, from $141.4 million for 2009, primarily due to:
•
•
•
•
a decrease of $22.4 million primarily due to repayments of debt drawn under long-term revolving credit facilities and term loans and a
decrease in interest rates relating to long-term debt, which is explained in further detail below;
a decrease of $7.8 million from the scheduled loan payments on the LNG carrier Catalunya Spirit, and scheduled capital lease repayments
on the LNG carrier Madrid Spirit (the Madrid Spirit is financed pursuant to a Spanish tax lease arrangement, under which we borrowed
under a term loan and deposited the proceeds into a restricted cash account and entered into a capital lease for the vessel; as a result,
this decrease in interest expense from the capital lease is offset by a corresponding decrease in the interest income from restricted cash);
a decrease of $1.2 million due to the effect on our Euro-denominated debt from the weakening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar
compared to 2009; and
a decrease of $0.2 million from declining interest rates on our five Suezmax tanker capital lease obligations;
partially offset by
•
•
an increase of $25.6 million due to the effect of the January 2010 public offering of our 8.5% senior unsecured notes due January 2020,
with a principal amount of $450 million, partially offset by the January 2010 repurchase of a majority of our then-outstanding 8.875% senior
notes due July 2011; and
an increase of $0.7 million due to the effect of the November 2010 issuance of the 600 million Norwegian Kroner-denominated senior
unsecured bonds due November 2013. Please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 8 – Long-Tem Debt.
The debt repayments under long-term revolving credit facilities that contributed to our decreased interest expense for the year ended December 31,
2010 were primarily funded with net proceeds from the issuance of equity securities by our publicly listed subsidiaries and from the sale of assets to
our public company subsidiaries and to third parties. When one of our publicly listed subsidiaries acquires an asset from us, a significant portion of
the acquisition typically has been financed through the issuance to the public of equity securities by the subsidiary. To the extent that there are no
immediate investment opportunities, we have generally applied the proceeds from the issuance of these equity offerings and from the sale of assets
to these subsidiaries and third parties towards debt reduction or increasing our cash balances. Please read Item 4 – “Information on the Company -
Overview.”
Interest Income. Interest income decreased to $13.0 million for 2010, compared to $20.0 million for 2009, primarily due to:
•
•
•
•
a decrease of $4.8 million due to scheduled capital lease repayments on one of our LNG carriers which was funded from restricted cash;
a decrease of $1.5 million due to decreases in LIBOR rates relating to the restricted cash used to fund capital lease payments for the
RasGas II LNG Carriers (please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 10 – Capital Leases and Restricted Cash);
a decrease of $0.3 million primarily relating to changes in interest rates and our bank account balances compared to the same periods
last year; and
a decrease of $0.3 million due to the weakening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar compared to the same period last year.
Realized and Unrealized (Losses) Gains on Non-designated Derivative Instruments. Realized and unrealized (losses) gains related to
derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are included as a separate line item in the consolidated
statements of income (loss). The realized (losses) gains relate to the amounts we actually received or paid to settle such derivative instruments and
the unrealized (losses) gains relate to the change in fair value of such derivative instruments.
Net realized and unrealized (losses) gains on non-designated derivatives was a loss of $299.6 million for 2010, compared to net realized and
unrealized gains on non-designated derivatives of $140.0 million for 2009, as detailed in the table below:

Equity (Loss) Income from Joint Ventures. Equity (loss) income from joint ventures was a loss of $11.3 million for 2010, compared to income of
$52.2 million in 2009. The income or loss was primarily comprised of our share of the earnings (loss) from the Angola LNG Project and from the
RasGas 3 Joint Venture. Please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 23 – Joint Ventures. Of the equity loss for 2010, $26.3 million relates to
our share of unrealized income (loss) on interest rate swaps for 2010. This compares to unrealized gains on interest rate swaps of $32.4 million
included in equity income (loss) for 2009.
Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss). Foreign exchange gain (loss) was a gain of $32.0 million for 2010, compared to a loss of $20.9 million for 2009. The
changes in our foreign exchange gains (losses) are primarily attributable to the revaluation of our Euro-denominated term loans at the end of each
period for financial reporting purposes, and substantially all of the gains or losses are unrealized. Gains reflect a stronger U.S. Dollar against the
Euro on the date of revaluation. Losses reflect a weaker U.S. Dollar against the Euro on the date of revaluation. As of the date of this Annual
Report, our Euro-denominated revenues generally approximate our Euro-denominated operating expenses and our Euro-denominated interest and
principal repayments.
Other Income. Other income of $7.5 million for 2010 was primarily comprised of leasing income of $4.7 million from our volatile organic compound
emissions equipment and a $1.8 million gain on sale of marketable securities.
Income Tax Recovery (Expense). Income tax recovery was $6.3 million for 2010, compared to an expense of $22.9 million for 2009. The decrease
to income tax expense of $29.2 million for 2010 was primarily due to an increase in deferred income tax recovery relating to unrealized foreign
exchange translation losses.
Net (Loss) Income. As a result of the foregoing factors, net loss amounted to $166.6 million for 2010, compared to net income of $209.8 million for
2009.

Administrative Expenses.”
The average fleet size of our shuttle tanker and FSO segment (including vessels chartered-in), as measured by calendar-ship-days, decreased
during 2009 compared to 2008. This was primarily the due to a decline in the number of chartered-in shuttle tankers.
Net Revenues. Net revenues decreased to $496.8 million for 2009, from $533.9 million for 2008, primarily due to:
•
•
•
•
a decrease of $54.9 million due to fewer revenue days from our shuttle tankers due to declining oil production at mature oil fields in the
North Sea and the impact on revenue generated by our shuttle tankers operating in the conventional tanker market from reduced demand
for conventional crude transportation, compared to the same period last year;
a decrease from our FSO units of $2.9 million primarily due to unfavorable exchange rates compared to the prior period;
a decrease of $2.5 million from the Navion Saga being offhire for 43 days in 2009 due to a scheduled drydock;
a decrease of $1.8 million due to a 2008 agreement with certain of our customers that enabled us to recover certain Norwegian
48
environmental taxes relating to prior periods; and
•
a decrease of $1.5 million from a reduction in the number of cargo liftings due to declining oil production at the Heidrun field, a mature oil
field in the North Sea, that is serviced by certain shuttle tankers on contracts of affreightment;
partially offset by
•
•
•
•
a net increase of $14.1 million for 2009 due to rate increases on certain contracts of affreightment, partially offset by rate decreases in
certain time-charter and bareboat contracts;
an increase of $5.3 million primarily due to lower bunker prices and daily bunker consumption in 2009 as compared to the same period last
year, partially offset by a net increase in non-reimbursable bunker costs resulting primarily from increased idle days in 2009, as compared
to the same period last year;
an increase of $3.5 million due to a decrease in the number of offhire days resulting from scheduled drydockings primarily in the time-
chartered fleet, and unplanned repair projects compared to the same period last year; and
an increase of $3.5 million due to a reduction in customer performance claims paid in 2009 compared to last year. Certain of our charter
agreements contain speed and performance standards that must be met. In 2009, we initiated certain technical and commercial actions
with the goal of reducing such claims.
Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses decreased to $173.5 million for 2009, from $177.9 million for 2008, primarily due to:
•
•
•
•
a decrease of $2.9 million in repairs and maintenance costs performed for certain vessels in 2009 as compared to last year;
a decrease of $1.1 million due to a reduction in costs for unplanned repair projects in 2009 compared to last year;
a decrease of $0.8 million in crew and manning costs as compared to last year, resulting primarily from cost savings initiatives that began
in 2009; and
a decrease of $0.6 million in FSO unit operating expenses of primarily due to the offhire of one vessel in the third quarter of 2009;
partially offset by
•
an increase of $3.6 million due to an increase in the number of vessels drydocked, and costs related to services, spares and consumables
during 2009. Certain repair and maintenance items are more efficient to complete while the vessel is in drydock. Consequently, repair and
maintenance costs will typically increase in periods when there is an increase in the number of vessels drydocked.
Time-Charter Hire Expense. Time-charter hire expense decreased to $113.8 million for 2009, from $134.1 million for 2008, primarily due to the
redelivery of vessels whose in-charter contracts expired during 2009. Our in-chartered shuttle tankers service contracts in the North Sea. A
reduction of in-chartered vessels generally reflects a reduction in demand due to a decline in North Sea oil production.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $122.6 million for 2009, from $117.2 million for 2008, primarily
due to higher amortization expense relating to capitalized drydock and vessel upgrade costs for certain of our shuttle tankers, partially offset by
lower amortization on our FSO units.
(Loss) Gain on Sale of Vessels and Equipment – Net of Write-downs of Vessels and Equipment. Loss on sale of vessels and equipment for 2009 of
$1.9 million was primarily due to a write-down of certain offshore vessel equipment.
Restructuring Charges. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we incurred restructuring charges of $7.0 million relating to costs incurred for
the reflagging of certain vessels, the closure of one of our offices in Norway, and global staffing changes.
FPSO Segment

Expenses”.
The average fleet size of our FPSO segment (including vessels chartered-in), as measured by calendar-ship-days, decreased during 2009
compared to 2008. This was the result of one shuttle tanker that was converted to an FSO unit and transferred to the shuttle tanker and FSO
segment in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Revenues. Revenues increased to $390.6 million for 2009, from $383.8 million for 2008, primarily due to:
•
•
an increase of $5.7 million, primarily from the delivery of a new FPSO unit in February 2008 (or the FPSO Delivery) and the Petrojarl Varg
FPSO unit commencing a new four-year fixed-rate contract extension with Talisman Energy beginning in the third quarter of 2009, partially
offset by lower revenues in other FPSO units due to lower oil production compared to the prior period and the conversion of a shuttle
tanker to an FSO unit; and
an increase of $1.1 million, from the amortization of contract value liabilities relating to FPSO service contracts (as discussed below),
which was recognized on the date of the acquisition by us of a controlling interest in Teekay Petrojarl.
As part of our acquisition of Teekay Petrojarl, we assumed certain FPSO service contracts that had terms that were less favorable than prevailing
market terms at the time of acquisition. This contract value liability, which was initially recognized on the date of acquisition, is being amortized to
revenue over the remaining firm period of the current FPSO contracts on a weighted basis based on the projected revenue to be earned under the
contracts. The amount of amortization relating to these contracts included in revenue for 2009 was $67.7 million (2008 - $66.6 million).
Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses decreased to $200.9 million for 2009, from $220.5 million for 2008, primarily due to:
•
•
a decrease of $18.2 million from decreases in service costs due to the timing of certain projects, cost saving initiatives, and the
strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against the Norwegian Kroner; and
a decrease of $1.3 million from lower insurance charges.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $102.3 million for 2009, from $91.7 million for 2008, primarily
due to:
•
•
an increase of $5.6 million from the finalization of preliminary estimates of fair value assigned to certain assets included in our acquisition
of Teekay Petrojarl; and
an increase of $5.0 million from the FPSO Delivery.
Loss on Sale of Vessels and Equipment – Net of Write-downs of Vessels and Equipment. Loss on sale of vessels and equipment – net of write-
downs for 2009 was nil compared to the $12.0 million impairment write-down of a 1986-built shuttle tanker in the prior year.
Goodwill Impairment Charge. There was no goodwill impairment charge in 2009. For 2008, management concluded that the carrying value
exceeded the fair value of goodwill by $334.2 million in the FPSO segment as of December 31, 2008, and as a result this amount was recognized
as an impairment loss in our consolidated statements of income (loss). The decline in fair value, and resulting goodwill impairment, was substantially
the result of downward revisions in our growth projections, caused by the declining price of oil and the global economic slowdown. Also contributing
to the impairment was the impact from deteriorating credit markets on our cost of capital assumptions used in our fair value calculations.

The increase in the average fleet size of our liquefied gas segment from 2008 to 2009, as measured by calendar-ship-days, was primarily due to the
delivery of two new LNG carriers in November 2008 and March 2009, respectively (collectively the Tangguh LNG Deliveries) and the delivery of two
new LPG carriers in April 2009 and November 2009 respectively (collectively the LPG Deliveries).
Net Revenues. Net revenues increased to $245.5 million for 2009, from $220.9 million for 2008, primarily due to:
•
•
•
an increase of $35.6 million due to the commencement of the time-charters from the Tangguh LNG Deliveries and the LPG Deliveries;
an increase of $3.0 million due to the Catalunya Spirit being offhire for 34.3 days during 2008, which primarily relates to a scheduled
drydock; and
an increase of $1.0 million due to the Polar Spirit being offhire for 18.5 days during 2008 for a scheduled drydock;
partially offset by
•
•
•
a decrease of $6.9 million due to lower revenues from the Arctic Spirit as a result of the re-deployment of the vessel on a new time-charter
contract in 2009 at a lower daily rate than the previous contract it was servicing;
a decrease of $3.8 million due to the effect on our Euro-denominated revenues from the weakening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar
compared to the same period last year; and
a decrease of $3.9 million due to both the Madrid Spirit and the Galicia Spirit being offhire for a total of 53 days during the third quarter of
2009 for scheduled drydocks.
Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased to $50.7 million for 2009, from $50.1 million for 2008, primarily due to:
•
an increase of $6.0 million from the Tangguh LNG Deliveries;
partially offset by
•
•
•
a decrease of $2.8 million relating to lower crew manning, insurance, repairs and maintenance costs;
a decrease of $1.3 million due to service costs associated with the Dania Spirit being offhire for 15.5 days during 2008 for a
scheduled drydock; and
a decrease of $0.8 million due to the effect on our Euro-denominated vessel operating expenses from the weakening of the Euro against
the U.S. Dollar compared to the same period last year (a portion of our vessel operating expenses are denominated in Euros, which is
primarily a function of the nationality of our crew; our Euro-denominated revenues currently generally approximate our Euro-denominated
expenses and Euro-denominated loan and interest payments).
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased to $59.9 million in 2009, from $58.4 million in 2008, primarily due to:
•
•
•
an increase of $1.1 million from the delivery of the Tangguh Sago in March 2009 prior to the commencement of the time-charter
contract in May 2009 accounted for as a direct financing lease;
an increase of $1.0 million from the LPG Deliveries;
an increase of $0.2 million due to the amortization of costs associated with vessel cost expenditures during 2008; and
51
•
an increase of $0.2 million relating to the amortization of drydock expenditures incurred during 2009;
partially offset by
•
a decrease of $1.3 million due to revised depreciation estimates for certain of our vessels.
Restructuring Charges. During 2009, we incurred restructuring charges of $4.2 million relating to costs incurred for global staffing and office
changes.
Conventional Tanker Segment
Effective January 1, 2010, the operating results of vessels that were employed on fixed rate time-charters and contracts of affreightment that had an
original duration of more than one year but less than three years have been included in the fixed-rate tanker sub-segment of the conventional
tankers segment. Previously, these operating results were included in our spot tanker sub-segment. The following operating results, TCE rates and
related period-to-period comparisons have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this change as if it had been made on January 1, 2008.
a) Fixed-Rate Tanker Sub-Segment
The following table presents our fixed-rate tanker sub-segment’s operating results and compares its net revenues (which is a non-GAAP financial

Administrative Expenses.”
The average fleet size of our fixed-rate tanker sub-segment (including vessels chartered-in), as measured by calendar-ship-days, increased in 2009
compared to 2008. This increase was primarily the result of:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
the delivery of two new Aframax tankers during January and March 2008 (collectively, the Aframax Deliveries);
the transfer of two product tankers from the spot tanker sub-segment in April 2008 upon commencement of long-term time-charters (the
Product Tanker Transfers);
the delivery of two new Suezmax tankers in June 2009 (collectively, the Suezmax Deliveries);
the transfer of one Suezmax tanker from the spot tanker sub-segment in November 2009 (the Suezmax Transfer);
the purchase of a product tanker which commenced a 10-year fixed-rate time-charter to Caltex Australia Petroleum Pty Ltd. during
September 2009;
the transfer of seven Aframax tankers, on a net basis, from the spot tanker sub-segment in 2008 and 2009 upon commencement of long-
term time-charters (the Aframax Transfers); and
the sale of one Aframax tanker in November 2009.
The Aframax Transfers consist of the transfer of nine owned vessels and one chartered-in vessel from the spot tanker sub-segment, and the transfer
two owned vessels and one chartered-in vessel to the spot tanker sub-segment. The effect of the transaction is to increase the fixed tanker sub-
segment’s net revenues, time-charter expenses, vessel operating expenses, and depreciation and amortization expenses.
52
Net Revenues. Net revenues increased to $379.8 million for 2009, from $334.6 million for 2008, primarily due to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
an increase of $27.5 million from the Aframax Transfers;
a net increase of $28.5 million from the in-charter of three Aframax tankers in 2009 and the redelivery of one in-charter to their respective
owner;
an increase of $12.8 million from the Suezmax Deliveries;
an increase of $4.1 million from the purchase of the new product tanker;
an increase of $2.8 million from the Product Tanker Transfers;
an increase of $1.9 million from the Suezmax Transfer;
an increase of $1.4 million from the Aframax Deliveries; and
an increase of $1.0 million as two of our Suezmax tankers were offhire for 48 days for scheduled drydockings during 2008;
partially offset by
•
•
•
a decrease of $16.2 million from decreased revenues earned by the Teide Spirit and the Toledo Spirit (the time charters for both these
vessels provide for additional revenues to us beyond the fixed hire rate when spot tanker market rates exceed threshold amounts; the
time-charter for the Toledo Spirit also provides for a reduction in revenues to us when spot tanker market rates are below threshold
amounts);
a decrease of $6.3 million due to interest-rate adjustments to the daily charter rates under the time-charter contracts for five Suezmax
tankers (however, under the terms of the capital lease for these vessels, we had corresponding decreases in our lease payments, which
are reflected as decreases to interest expense; therefore, these and future interest rate adjustments do not and will not affect our cash flow
or net (loss) income); and
a decrease of $13.0 million due to the sale of two product tankers in the third and fourth quarter of 2008 and one product tanker in the
fourth quarter of 2009.
Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased to $96.2 million for 2009, from $86.7 million for 2008, primarily due to:
•
•
•
•
•
an increase of $9.6 million from the Aframax Transfers;
an increase of $2.5 million from the Suezmax Deliveries;
an increase of $2.3 million from the purchase of the new product tanker;
an increase of $1.4 million from the Product Tanker Transfers; and
an increase of $0.7 million from the Suezmax Transfer;
partially offset by
•
•
•
a decrease of $6.0 million due to the sale of two product tankers in the third and fourth quarter of 2008 and one product tanker in the fourth
quarter of 2009;
a decrease of $0.9 million due to the effect on our Euro-denominated vessel operating expenses from the weakening of the Euro against
the U.S. Dollar compared to the same period last year; and
a decrease of $0.2 million relating to lower crew manning, insurance, and repairs and maintenance costs.
Time-Charter Hire Expense. Time-charter hire expense increased to $75.5 million for 2009, from $53.3 million for 2008, primarily due to an increase
in the average time-charter hire rates, partially offset by a decrease in the number of in-chartered Aframax vessel days.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $67.0 million for 2009, from $54.8 million for 2008, primarily due
to the Aframax Transfers, Suezmax Deliveries, Product Tanker Transfers, and an increase in capitalized drydocking expenditures being amortized.
Loss on Sale of Vessels and Equipment – Net of Write-downs of Vessels and Equipment. Loss on sale of vessels and equipment for 2009 of $14.0
million, primarily relates to an impairment write-down taken on one of our older fixed-rate vessels which was sold in the fourth quarter of 2009 and a
write-down of intangible assets related to a vessel purchase option that we elected not to exercise.
Restructuring Charges. During 2009, we incurred restructuring charges of $1.0 million relating to costs incurred for global staffing changes.

The number of calendar days for our spot tanker fleet decreased from 28,485 in 2008 to 19,177 in 2009, primarily due to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
the transfer of two product tankers in April 2008 to the fixed tanker segment (or the Spot Product Tanker Transfers);
the transfer of four Aframax tankers in November 2008, two Aframax tankers in September 2009, and three Aframax tankers in November
2009 to the fixed tanker sub-segment, offset by the transfer of two Aframax tankers to the spot tanker sub-segment in June and November
2009 (or collectively the Spot Aframax Tanker Transfers);
the sale of five product tankers between March 2008 and May 2009 (or the Spot Product Tanker Sales);
the sale of one Suezmax tanker in November 2008 (or the Suezmax Tanker Sale);
a net decrease in the number of chartered-in vessels, primarily from the sale of our 50% interest in the Swift Product Tanker Pool in
November 2008, which included our interest in ten in-chartered intermediate product tankers; and
the transfer of one Suezmax tanker in November 2009 to the fixed-rate tanker sub-segment;
partially offset by
•
•
the delivery of seven new Suezmax tankers between May 2008 and December 2009 (or the Suezmax Deliveries); and
the delivery of one large product tanker in October 2008.
In addition, during February 2009, we sold and leased back one older Aframax tanker. This had the effect of decreasing the number of calendar
days for our owned vessels and increasing the number of calendar-ship-days for our chartered-in vessels.
Net Revenues. Net revenues decreased to $365.3 million for 2009, from $997.9 million for 2008, primarily due to:
•
•
•
•
•
a decrease of $382.6 million primarily from decreases in our average TCE rate during 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 due to
spot tanker market weakness compared to the prior year;
a decrease of $174.5 million from a net decrease in the number of chartered-in vessels, excluding small product tankers discussed below,
as we continued to reduce our exposure to the spot tanker market;
a decrease of $64.3 million from the Spot Aframax Transfers and Spot Product Tanker Transfers;
a decrease of $44.0 million from a net decrease in the number of chartered-in small product tankers primarily due to the sale of our interest
in the Swift Tanker Pool in November 2008;
a decrease of $17.6 million from the Spot Product Tanker Sales; and
54
•
a decrease of $6.8 million from the Suezmax Tanker Sale;
partially offset by
•
•
•
an increase of $31.3 million from a change in the number of days our vessels were offhire during 2009 due to regularly scheduled
maintenance compared to 2008;
an increase of $18.4 million from the Suezmax Deliveries; and
an increase of $7.5 million from the delivery of one large product tanker.
Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses decreased to $94.6 million for 2009, from $124.1 million for 2008, primarily due to:
•
•
•
a decrease of $17.1 million from lower crew manning costs, due to the positive impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, a
reduction in the number of crew on some vessels, as well as lower repair, maintenance, and consumable costs resulting from the review
and renegotiation of several key supplier contracts during 2009;
a decrease of $12.9 million from the Spot Aframax Tanker Transfers; and
a decrease of $10.2 million from the Spot Product Tanker Sales;
partially offset by
•
•
an increase of $10.2 million from the Suezmax Deliveries; and
an increase of $1.8 million from the product tanker that delivered in October 2008.
Time-Charter Hire Expense. Time-charter hire expense decreased to $240.1 million for 2009, from $424.7 million for 2008, primarily due to:
•
•
a decrease of $145.8 million primarily from the decrease in the number of chartered-in vessels compared to the same period last year; and
a decrease of $38.8 million from a decrease in the number of chartered-in small product tankers from the sale of the Swift Tanker Pool in
November 2008.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $85.3 million for 2009, from $96.7 million for 2008, primarily
due to:
•
•
•
•
•
a decrease of $9.0 from the amortization of a non-compete agreement in the prior year, which was fully amortized by the end of 2008;
a decrease of $8.5 from the Spot Aframax Tanker Transfers;
a decrease of $3.6 million from the Spot Product Tanker Sales;
a decrease of $1.2 million from the Spot Product Tanker Transfers; and
a decrease of $1.1 million from the Suezmax Tanker Sale;
partially offset by
•
an increase of $13.9 million from the Suezmax Tanker Deliveries and the delivery of one new product tanker in October 2008.
Gain on Sale of Vessels and Equipment – Net of Write-downs of Intangible Assets and Vessels and Equipment. The gain on sale of vessels and
equipment, net of write-downs for 2009 of $3.3 million, is primarily due to gains realized on the disposal of two product tankers during the second
quarter of 2009, partially offset by certain write-downs. The write-downs were related to two older vessels that were written-down to their fair value
and the write-down of intangible assets related to vessel purchase and contract extension options that we elected not to exercise.
Restructuring Charges. During 2009, we incurred restructuring charges of $2.2 million relating to costs incurred for global staffing changes.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased to $198.8 million for 2009, from $221.3 million for 2008,
primarily due to:
•
•
•
a decrease of $30.9 million in compensation for shore-based employees and other personnel expenses primarily due to decreases in
headcount and performance-based compensation costs;
a decrease of $15.7 million in corporate-related expenses; and
a decrease of $8.7 million from lower travel costs;
partially offset by
•
an increase of $30.4 million as there was a recovery recorded in the third quarter of 2008 relating to the reversal of accruals associated
with our equity-based compensation and long-term incentive program for management, primarily due to a significant decline in our share
price.
During 2009, we initiated a company-wide review of our general and administrative expenses. We implemented various cost reduction initiatives,
including the elimination of certain shore-based positions and the relocation of shore-based positions to lower cost jurisdictions. These initiatives, as
well as a reduction in business development activities, also resulted in decreases in corporate-related expenses and travel costs compared to the
prior year.
General and administrative expenses of $19.3 million relating to certain crew training expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008, was
reclassified from general administrative expenses to vessel operating expenses to conform to the presentation adopted in the current period.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $141.4 million for 2009, from $290.9 million for 2008, primarily due to:
•
•
•
•
•
a decrease of $95.2 million primarily due to repayments of debt drawn under long-term revolving credit facilities and term loans and
decrease in interest rates relating to long-term debt, which is explained in further detail below;
a decrease of $35.1 million as the debt relating to Teekay Nakilat (III) was novated to the RasGas 3 Joint Venture on December 31, 2008
(the interest expense on this debt is not reflected in our 2009 consolidated interest expense as the RasGas 3 Joint Venture is accounted
for using the equity method);
a decrease of $15.4 million from the scheduled loan payments on the LNG carrier Catalunya Spirit, and scheduled capital lease
repayments on the LNG carrier Madrid Spirit (the Madrid Spirit is financed pursuant to a Spanish tax lease arrangement, under which we
borrowed under a term loan and deposited the proceeds into a restricted cash account and entered into a capital lease for the vessel; as a
result, this decrease in interest expense from the capital lease is offset by a corresponding decrease in the interest income from restricted
cash);
a decrease of $4.7 million from declining interest rates on our five Suezmax tanker capital lease obligations; and
a decrease of $1.6 million due to the effect on our Euro-denominated debt from the weakening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar during
such period compared to the same period last year;
partially offset by
•
an increase of $2.5 million relating to debt to finance the purchase of the Tangguh LNG Carriers as the interest on this debt was
capitalized in 2008 while the LNG carriers were under construction.
The debt repayments under long-term revolving credit facilities that contributed to our decreased interest expense for the year ended December 31,
2009, were primarily funded with net proceeds from the issuance of equity securities by our publicly listed subsidiaries and from the sale of assets to
third parties. When one of our publicly listed subsidiaries acquires an asset from us, a significant portion of the acquisition typically has been
financed through the issuance to the public of equity securities by the subsidiary. To the extent that there are no immediate investment
opportunities, we have generally applied the proceeds from the issuance of these equity offerings and from the sale of assets to third parties
towards debt reduction or increasing our cash balances. Please read Item 4 – “Information on the Company - Overview.”
56
Interest Income. Interest income decreased to $20.0 million for 2009, compared to $97.1 million for 2008, primarily due to:
•
•
•
•
•
a decrease of $33.5 million relating to interest-bearing advances made by us to the RasGas 3 Joint Venture for shipyard construction
installment payments repaid on December 31, 2008, when the external debt was novated to the RasGas 3 Joint Venture;
a decrease of $29.5 million primarily relating to lower interest rates on our bank account balances compared to the same periods last
year;
a decrease of $13.4 million due to decreases in LIBOR rates relating to the restricted cash used to fund capital lease payments for the
RasGas II LNG Carriers (please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 10 – Capital Leases and Restricted Cash);
a decrease of $0.4 million due to the effect on our Euro-denominated deposits from the weakening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar
compared to the same period last year; and
a decrease of $0.3 million primarily from scheduled capital lease repayments on one of our LNG carriers which was funded from restricted
cash deposits.
Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Non-designated Derivative Instruments. Net realized and unrealized gains on non-designated
derivatives was $140.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to net realized and unrealized losses on non-designated
derivatives of $567.1 million for the same period last year, as detailed in the table below:

Equity Income (Loss) from Joint Ventures. Equity income (loss) from joint ventures was income of $52.2 million for the year ended December 31,
2009, compared to a loss of $36.1 million for 2008. The income or loss was primarily comprised of our share of the Angola LNG Project earnings
(losses) and the operations of the four RasGas 3 LNG Carriers, which were delivered between May and July 2008. $32.4 million of the equity
income relates to our share of unrealized gains on interest rate swaps for 2009, compared to unrealized losses on interest rate swaps of $33.0
million included in equity loss for 2008.
Foreign Exchange (Loss) Gain. Foreign exchange (loss) gain was a loss of $(20.9) million for 2009, compared to a gain of $24.7 million for 2008.
The changes in our foreign exchange (losses) gains are primarily attributable to the revaluation of our Euro-denominated term loans at the end of
each period for financial reporting purposes, and substantially all of the gains or losses are unrealized. Gains reflect a stronger U.S. Dollar against
the Euro on the date of revaluation. Losses reflect a weaker U.S. Dollar against the Euro on the date of revaluation. As of the date of this report, our
Euro-denominated revenues generally approximate our Euro-denominated operating expenses and our Euro-denominated interest and principal
repayments.
Other Income (Loss). Other income of $13.5 million for 2009 was primarily comprised of leasing income of $6.9 million from our volatile organic
compound emissions equipment and $3.8 million from amortization of option fees.
Income Tax (Expense) Recovery. Income tax expense was $22.9 million for 2009, compared to a recovery of $56.2 million for 2008. The increase to
income tax expense of $79.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, was primarily due to an increase in deferred income tax expense
relating to unrealized foreign exchange translation gains for 2009.
Net Income (Loss). As a result of the foregoing factors, net income amounted to $209.8 million for 2009, compared to a net loss of $459.9 million for
2008.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity and Cash Needs
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows provided by our operations, our undrawn credit facilities, proceeds from
the sale of vessels, and capital raised through equity offerings by our subsidiaries. Our short-term liquidity requirements are for the payment of
operating expenses, debt servicing costs, dividends, scheduled repayments of long-term debt, as well as funding our working capital requirements.
As at December 31, 2010, our total cash and cash equivalents totaled $779.7 million, compared to $422.5 million as at December 31, 2009. Our
total liquidity, including cash and undrawn credit facilities, was $2.4 billion as at December 31, 2010 and $1.9 billion at December 31, 2009.
57
Our spot tanker market operations contribute to the volatility of our net operating cash flow. Historically, the tanker industry has been cyclical,
experiencing volatility in profitability and asset values resulting from changes in the supply of, and demand for, vessel capacity. In addition, spot
tanker markets historically have exhibited seasonal variations in charter rates. Spot tanker markets are typically stronger in the winter months as a
result of increased oil consumption in the Northern Hemisphere and unpredictable weather patterns that tend to disrupt vessel scheduling.
As at December 31, 2010, we had $276.5 million of scheduled debt repayments and $267.4 million of capital lease obligations coming due within
the next 12 months. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and undrawn long-term borrowings, in addition to other sources of cash
such as cash from operations, will be sufficient to meet our existing liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months.
In March 2010, we amended our operating contract with the operator (Britoil plc) of the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit and Foinaven co-venturers
(Britoil plc and certain of its affiliates and Marathon Petroleum). Based on current crude oil prices at the time the amended agreement was signed,
we expect that under the amended contract the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit will generate incremental operating cash flow of approximately $30
million to $40 million per annum over the anticipated life of the contract period. These amounts will vary with crude oil price changes and other
potential adjustments under the amended contract.
Our operations are capital intensive. We finance the purchase of our vessels primarily through a combination of borrowings from
commercial banks or our joint venture partners, the issuance of equity securities and publicly traded debt instruments and cash generated
from operations. In addition, we may use sale and lease-back arrangements as a source of long-term liquidity. Occasionally, we use our
revolving credit facilities to temporarily finance capital expenditures until longer-term financing is obtained, at which time we typically use all or a
portion of the proceeds from the longer-term financings to prepay outstanding amounts under the revolving credit facilities. As of December 31,
2010, pre-arranged debt facilities were in place for a majority of our then remaining capital commitments relating to our portion of
newbuildings then on order. Our pre-arranged newbuilding debt facilities are in addition to our undrawn credit facilities. We continue to
consider strategic opportunities, including the acquisition of additional vessels and expansion into new markets. We may choose to pursue such
opportunities through internal growth, joint ventures or business acquisitions. We intend to finance any future acquisitions through various sources
of capital, including internally-generated cash flow, existing credit facilities, additional debt borrowings, or the issuance of additional debt or equity
securities or any combination thereof.
As at December 31, 2010, our revolving credit facilities provided for borrowings of up to $3.3 billion, of which $1.6 billion was undrawn. The amount
available under these revolving credit facilities reduces by $243.4 million (2011), $353.3 million (2012), $760.2 million (2013), $789.1 million (2014),
$226.4 million (2015) and $930.4 million (thereafter). The revolving credit facilities are collateralized by first-priority mortgages granted on 64 of our
vessels, together with other related security, and are guaranteed by Teekay or our subsidiaries.
Our outstanding term loans reduce in monthly, quarterly or semi-annual payments with varying maturities through 2023. Some of the term loans also
have bullet or balloon repayments at maturity and are collateralized by first-priority mortgages granted on 30 of our vessels, together with other
related security, and are generally guaranteed by Teekay or our subsidiaries. Our unsecured 8.875% Senior Notes, amounting to $16.2 million at
December 31, 2010, are due July 15, 2011. In January 2010, we completed a public offering of senior unsecured notes due January 2020, with
a principal amount of $450 million and which bear interest at a rate of 8.5% per year. We used the offering proceeds to repurchase $160.5
million of our then outstanding 8.875% Senior Notes due July 15, 2011, to repay $150 million under a term loan and the remainder of the
offering proceeds to repay a portion of our outstanding debt under one of our revolving credit facilities.
In November 2010, Teekay Offshore issued 600 million Norwegian Kroner-denominated senior unsecured bonds that mature in November 2013 in
the Norwegian bond market. Teekay Offshore’s obligations under the Bond Agreement are guaranteed by OPCO. Teekay Offshore has applied for
listing of the bonds on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Interest payments on the senior unsecured bonds are based on NIBOR plus a margin of 4.75%.
Teekay Offshore has entered into a cross currency swap arrangement to swap the interest payments from NIBOR into LIBOR and to lock in the US
dollar amount of principal upon maturity. Please read Item 18 − Financial Statements: Note 8 – Long-Term Debt.
Among other matters, our long-term debt agreements generally provide for the maintenance of certain vessel market value-to-loan ratios and
minimum consolidated financial covenants and prepayment privileges, in some cases with penalties. Certain of the loan agreements require that we
maintain a minimum level of free cash and as at December 31, 2010, this amount was $100.0 million. Certain of the loan agreements also require
that we maintain an aggregate level of free liquidity and undrawn revolving credit lines (with at least six months to maturity) of at least 7.5% of total
debt and as at December 31, 2010, this amount was $236.5 million. We were in compliance with all our loan covenants at December 31, 2010.
We conduct our funding and treasury activities within corporate policies designed to minimize borrowing costs and maximize investment returns
while maintaining the safety of the funds and appropriate levels of liquidity for our purposes. We hold cash and cash equivalents primarily in U.S.
Dollars, with some balances held in Australian Dollars, British Pounds, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Japanese Yen, Norwegian Kroner and Singapore
Dollars.
We are exposed to market risk from foreign currency fluctuations and changes in interest rates, spot tanker market rates for vessels and bunker fuel
prices. We use forward foreign currency contracts, cross currency and interest rate swaps, forward freight agreements and bunker fuel swap
contracts to manage currency, interest rate, spot tanker rates and bunker fuel price risks. With the exception of some of our forward freight
agreements, we do not use these financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Please read Item 11 – Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk.
As described under "Item 4—Information on the Company: Regulations—Environmental Regulation—Other Environmental Initiatives," the passage
of any climate control legislation or other regulatory initiatives that restrict emissions of greenhouse gases could have a significant financial and
operational impact on our business, which we cannot predict with certainty at this time. Such regulatory measures could increase our costs related
to operating and maintaining our vessels and require us to install new emission controls, acquire allowances or pay taxes related to our greenhouse
gas emissions, or administer and manage a greenhouse gas emissions program. In addition, increased regulation of greenhouse gases may, in the
long-term, lead to reduced demand for oil and reduced demand for our services.

presented:

2009
($000’s)

(452,782)
(307,124)
Our net cash flow from operating activities fluctuates primarily as a result of changes in tanker utilization and TCE rates, changes in interest rates,
fluctuations in working capital balances, the timing and amount of drydocking expenditures, repairs and maintenance activities, vessel additions and
dispositions, and foreign currency rates. Our exposure to the spot tanker market historically has contributed significantly to fluctuations in operating
cash flows historically as a result of highly cyclical spot tanker rates and more recently as a result of the reduction in global oil demand that was
caused by a slow-down in global economic activity that began in the latter part of 2008.
Net cash flow from operating activities increased to $411.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, from $368.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2009. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the net cash flow generated by our FPSO and fixed-rate tanker sub-segment,
partially offset by the reduction in net cash flow from our spot tanker sub-segment and an increase in interest expense and realized losses on
interest rate swaps.
The net cash flow from operating activities in fiscal 2010 includes two payments made during 2010 totaling $59.2 million pursuant to the Petrojarl
Foinaven FPSO contract amendment relating to prior periods, and also reflects a decrease in drydocking expenditures due to the timing of
scheduled vessel drydocks. An increase in net cash flow from operating activities from our FPSO and fixed-rate tanker sub-segment was partially
offset by the decrease in net cash flow generated by our spot tanker sub-segment and an increase in interest expense paid. Net cash flow from our
spot tanker sub-segment decreased due to a reduction in the size of our spot tanker sub-segment fleet and a reduction in the average TCE rate
earned by these vessels during 2010 compared to 2009. Our interest expense paid increased as a result of an increase in realized losses on our
interest rate swaps and the effect of the public offering of the senior unsecured notes in January 2010 with a principal amount of $450 million and
the 600 million Norwegian-denominated bonds in November 2010, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense paid due to a reduction in the
outstanding balances on our revolving credit facilities and lower interest rates.
The results of our four reportable segments, and the reduction in interest costs are explained in further detail in “ –Results of Operations”. Our
current financial resources, together with cash anticipated to be generated from operations, are expected to be adequate to meet our requirements
in the next year.
Financing Cash Flows
During the year ended December 31, 2010, our net proceeds from long-term debt net of debt issuance costs were $1.8 billion and our repayments
and prepayments of long-term debt were $1.7 billion.
In March 2010, Teekay Offshore completed a public offering of 5.1 million common units (including 660,000 units issued upon the exercise of the
underwriter’s overallotment option) at a price of $19.48 per unit, for gross proceeds of $100.6 million (including the general partner’s $2.0 million
proportionate capital contribution). Please read Item 18 - Financial Statements: Note 5 – Equity Offerings by Subsidiaries.

proportionate capital contribution). Please read Item 18 - Financial Statements: Note 5 – Equity Offerings by Subsidiaries.
In October 2010, Teekay Tankers completed a public offering of 8.6 million common shares of its Class A Common Stock (including 395,000
common shares issued upon the partial exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option) at a price of $12.15 per share, for gross proceeds of
$104.4 million. Please read Item 18 - Financial Statements: Note 5 – Equity Offerings by Subsidiaries.
In December 2010, Teekay Offshore completed a public offering of 6.4 million common units (including 840,000 units issued upon the
exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option) at a price of $27.84 per unit, for gross proceeds of $182.9 million (including the general
partner’s $3.7 million proportionate capital contribution). Please read Item 18 − Financial Statements: Note 5 – Equity Offerings by
Subsidiaries.
59
In February 2011, Teekay Tankers completed a public offering of 9.9 million common shares of its Class A Common Stock (including 1.3 million
common shares issued upon the exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option) at a price of $11.33 per share, for gross proceeds of
approximately $112.1 million. Please read Item 18 - Financial Statements: Note 25(b) – Subsequent Events.
In April 2011, Teekay LNG completed a public offering of 4.3 million common units (including 0.6 million common units issued upon the partial
exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option) at a price of $38.88 per unit, for gross proceeds (including the general partner’s proportionate
capital contribution) of approximately $168.7 million. Please read Item 18 - Financial Statements: Note 25(e) – Subsequent Events.
In November 2010, Teekay Offshore issued 600 million Norwegian Kroner-denominated senior unsecured bonds that mature in November
2013. The aggregate principal amount of the bonds is equivalent to $98.5 million U.S. dollars and bears interest at NIBOR plus 4.75% per
annum. Teekay Offshore has entered into a cross currency swap arrangement to swap the interest payments from NIBOR into LIBOR and
to lock in the US dollar amount of principal upon maturity.
In October 2010, Teekay announced that management intended to commence repurchasing shares under our $200 million share repurchase
program. Shares will be repurchased in the open market at times and prices considered appropriate by us. The timing of any purchases and the
exact number of shares to be purchased will be dependent on market conditions. During 2010, we repurchased 1.2 million shares of our common
stock for $40.1 million, at an average cost of $32.40 per share, pursuant to the share repurchase programs. Please read Item 18 – Financial
Statements: Note 12 – Capital Stock. We repurchased no shares of common stock during 2009.
Dividends paid during the year ended December 31, 2010, were $92.7 million, or $1.265 per share. Subject to financial results and declaration by
the Board of Directors, we currently intend to continue to declare and pay a regular quarterly dividend in such amount per share on our
common stock. We have paid a quarterly dividend since 1995.
Distributions from subsidiaries to non-controlling interests during the year ended December 31, 2010, were $159.8 million.
In January and February 2011, we paid $92.7 million to the counterparties of five interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling
$665.1 million in consideration for amending the terms of such agreements to reduce the weighted average fixed interest rate from 5.1% to 2.5%.
The amount paid will be reflected as a reduction in the outstanding liability of the interest rate swaps, which are accounted for at fair value. The
effect of amending these interest rate swap agreements will be a decrease or increase in realized (loss) gain on our non-designated derivative
instruments.
In March 2011, we sold our remaining 49% interest in OPCO to Teekay Offshore for a combination of $175 million in cash (less $15 million in
distributions made by OPCO to us between December 31, 2010 and the date of acquisition) and 7.6 million new Teekay Offshore common units and
associated general partner interest. The sale increased Teekay Offshore's ownership of OPCO from 51% to 100%. Please read Item 18 - Financial
Statements: Note 25(d) – Subsequent Events.
Investing Cash Flows
During 2010, we:
•
•
•
•
incurred capital expenditures for vessels and equipment of $343.1 million, primarily for capitalized vessel modifications and shipyard
construction installment payments on our newbuilding shuttle tankers;
invested in two term loans by Teekay Tankers for $115.6 million;

(1) Excludes expected interest payments of $89.3 million (2011), $163.8 million (2012 and 2013), $134.7 million (2014 and 2015) and $243.3
million (beyond 2015). Expected interest payments are based on the existing interest rates (fixed-rate loans) and LIBOR plus margins that
ranged up to 3.25% at December 31, 2010 (variable-rate loans). The expected interest payments do not reflect the effect of related interest
rate swaps that we have used as an economic hedge of certain of our floating-rate debt.
(2)
Includes, in addition to lease payments, amounts we are required to pay to purchase certain leased vessels at the end of the lease terms.
We are obligated to purchase five of our existing Suezmax tankers upon the termination of the related capital leases, which will occur in
2011. The purchase price will be based on the unamortized portion of the vessel construction financing costs for the vessels, which we
expect to range from $31.7 million to $39.2 million per vessel. We expect to satisfy the purchase price by assuming the existing vessel
financing, although we may be required to obtain separate debt or equity financing to complete the purchases if the lenders do not consent
to our assuming the financing obligations. We are also obligated to purchase one of our existing LNG carriers upon the termination of the
related capital leases on December 31, 2011. The purchase obligation has been fully funded with restricted cash deposits. Please read
Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 10 – Capital Lease Obligations and Restricted Cash.
(3) Existing restricted cash deposits of $477.2 million, together with the interest earned on the deposits, are expected to be sufficient to repay
the remaining amounts we currently owe under the lease arrangements.
(4) We have corresponding leases whereby we are the lessor and expect to receive approximately $419.1 million for these leases from 2011
to 2029.
(5) Represents remaining construction costs (excluding capitalized interest and miscellaneous construction costs) for one FPSO unit, one
LPG carrier, two multi-gas carriers and two shuttle tankers as of December 31, 2010. Please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note
16(a) – Commitments and Contingencies – Vessels Under Construction.
(6) We have a 33% interest in a joint venture that has entered into agreements for the construction of four LNG carriers and a 50% interest in
a joint venture that has entered into an agreement for the construction of a VLCC. As at December 31, 2010, the remaining commitments
on these vessels, excluding capitalized interest and other miscellaneous construction costs, totaled $689.9 million of which our share is
$241.0 million. Please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 16(b) – Commitments and Contingencies – Joint Ventures.
(7) Euro-denominated obligations are presented in U.S. Dollars and have been converted using the prevailing exchange rate as at December
31, 2010.
(8) Excludes expected interest payments of $5.3 million (2011), $5.9 million (2012 and 2013), $4.0 million (2014 and 2015) and $10.0 million
(beyond 2015). Expected interest payments are based on EURIBOR at December 31, 2010, plus margins that ranged up to 0.66%, as well
as the prevailing U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate as of December 31, 2010. The expected interest payments do not reflect the effect of
related interest rate swaps that we have used as an economic hedge of certain of our floating-rate debt.
(9) Existing restricted cash deposits of $86.8 million, together with the interest earned on these deposits, are expected to equal the remaining
amounts we owe under the lease arrangement, including our obligation to purchase the vessel at the end of the lease term.
President and Chief Executive Officer Retirement
In March 2011, our Board of Directors approved a one-time $11.0 million increase to the pension plan benefits of Bjorn Moller, who retired from his
position as our President and Chief Executive Officer on April 1, 2011. This additional pension benefit was in recognition of Mr. Moller’s more than
25 years of service with Teekay, 13 of which as President and Chief Executive Officer. In addition, we expect to recognize a compensation expense
for accounting purposes of approximately $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2011 which relates to the portion of Mr. Moller’s outstanding stock-based
compensation grants that had not yet vested on the date of his retirement.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition,
results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates in the application of our
accounting policies based on our best assumptions, judgments and opinions. On a regular basis, management reviews our accounting policies,
assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP.
However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and
estimates, and such differences could be material. Accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in this section are those that we consider to be
the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties. For a
further description of our material accounting policies, please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies.
Revenue Recognition
Description. We recognize voyage revenue using the percentage of completion method. Under such method, voyages may be calculated on either a
load-to-load or discharge-to-discharge basis. In other words, voyage revenues are recognized ratably either from the beginning of when product is

loaded for one voyage to when it is loaded for the next voyage, or from when product is discharged (unloaded) at the end of one voyage to when it
is discharged after the next voyage..
Judgments and Uncertainties. In applying the percentage of completion method, we believe that in most cases the discharge-to-discharge basis of
calculating voyages more accurately reflects voyage results than the load-to-load basis. At the time of cargo discharge, we generally have
information about the next load port and expected discharge port, whereas at the time of loading we are normally less certain what the next load
port will be. We use this method of revenue recognition for all spot voyages and voyages servicing contracts of affreightment, with an exception for
our shuttle tankers servicing contracts of affreightment with offshore oil fields. In this case a voyage commences with tendering of notice of
readiness at a field, within the agreed lifting range, and ends with tendering of notice of readiness at a field for the next lifting. However we do not
begin recognizing revenue for any of our vessels until a charter has been agreed to by the customer and us, even if the vessel has discharged its
cargo and is sailing to the anticipated load port on its next voyage.
Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. Our revenues could be overstated or understated for any given period to the extent actual
results are not consistent with our estimates in applying the percentage of completion method.
Vessel Lives and Impairment
Description. The carrying value of each of our vessels represents its original cost at the time of delivery or purchase less depreciation or impairment
charges. We depreciate our vessels on a straight-line basis over each vessel's estimated useful life, less an estimated residual value. The carrying
values of our vessels may not represent their fair market value at any point in time because the market prices of second-hand vessels tend to
fluctuate with changes in charter rates and the cost of newbuildings. Both charter rates and newbuilding costs tend to be cyclical in nature. We
review vessels and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. We measure the recoverability of an asset by comparing its carrying amount to future undiscounted cash flows that the asset is
expected to generate over its remaining useful life.
Judgments and Uncertainties. Depreciation is calculated using an estimated useful life of 25 years for Aframax, Suezmax, and product tankers, 25
to 30 years for FPSO units and 35 years for LNG and LPG carriers, commencing the date the vessel was originally delivered from the shipyard.
However, the actual life of a vessel may be different, with a shorter life resulting in an increase in the quarterly depreciation and potentially resulting
in an impairment loss. The estimates and assumptions regarding expected cash flows require considerable judgment and are based upon
existing contracts, historical experience, financial forecasts and industry trends and conditions. We are not aware of any indicators of
impairments nor any regulatory changes or environmental liabilities that we anticipate will have a material impact on our current or future operations.
Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. If we consider a vessel or equipment to be impaired, we recognize a loss in an amount equal to
the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair market value. The new lower cost basis will result in a lower annual depreciation expense
than before the vessel impairment.
Drydocking
Description. We capitalize a substantial portion of the costs we incur during drydocking and amortize those costs on a straight-line basis over the
useful life of the drydock. We expense costs related to routine repairs and maintenance incurred during drydocking that do not improve operating
efficiency or extend the useful lives of the assets and for annual class survey costs on our FPSO units. When significant drydocking expenditures
occur prior to the expiration of the original amortization period, the remaining unamortized balance of the original drydocking cost and any
unamortized intermediate survey costs are expensed in the period of the subsequent drydockings.
Judgments and Uncertainties. Amortization of capitalized drydock expenditures requires us to estimate the period of the next drydocking and useful
life of drydock expenditures. While we typically drydock each vessel every two and a half to five years and have a shipping society classification
intermediate survey performed on our LNG and LPG carriers between the second and third year of the five-year drydocking period, we may drydock
the vessels at an earlier date, with a shorter life resulting in an increase in the depreciation
Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. If we change our estimate of the next drydock date for a vessel, we will adjust our annual
amortization of drydocking expenditures.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Description. We allocate the cost of acquired companies to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired, with the remaining
amount being classified as goodwill. Certain intangible assets, such as time-charter contracts, are being amortized over time. Our future operating
performance will be affected by the amortization of intangible assets and potential impairment charges related to goodwill. Accordingly, the
allocation of purchase price to intangible assets and goodwill may significantly affect our future operating results. Goodwill and indefinite-lived
assets are not amortized, but reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The process of evaluating the
potential impairment of goodwill and intangible assets is highly subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis.
Judgments and Uncertainties. The allocation of the purchase price of acquired companies requires management to make significant estimates and
assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows expected to be generated by the acquired assets and the appropriate discount rate to value
these cash flows. In addition, the process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill and intangible assets is highly subjective and requires
significant judgment at many points during the analysis. The fair value of our reporting units was estimated based on discounted expected future
cash flows using a weighted-average cost of capital rate. The estimates and assumptions regarding expected cash flows and the appropriate
discount rates require considerable judgment and are based upon existing contracts, historical experience, financial forecasts and industry trends
and conditions.
As of December 31, 2010, we had three reporting units with goodwill attributable to them. During 2010, a goodwill impairment test was conducted on
these reporting units. This goodwill impairment test determined that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. Key
assumptions that impact the fair value of this reporting unit include the our ability to do the following: maintain or improve the utilization of its
62
vessels; redeploy existing vessels on the expiry of their current charters; control or reduce operating expenses, pass on operating cost increases to
its customers in the form of higher charter rates; and continue to grow the business. Other key assumptions include future tanker rates, the
operating life of our vessels, its cost of capital, the volume of production from certain offshore oil fields, and the fair value of its credit facilities. If
actual future results are less favorable than expected results, in one or more of these key assumptions, a goodwill impairment may occur.
Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. As of the date of this filing, we do not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that the goodwill
attributable to our three reporting units with goodwill attributable to them might be impaired within the next year. However, certain factors that impact
our goodwill impairment tests are inherently difficult to forecast and as such we cannot provide any assurances that an impairment will or will not
occur in the future. An assessment for impairment involves a number of assumptions and estimates that are based on factors that are beyond our
control. These are discussed in more detail in the following section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements”.
Valuation of Derivative Financial Instruments
Description. Our risk management policies permit the use of derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency fluctuation, interest rate,
bunker fuel price and spot tanker market rate risk. Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments that are not designated as cash flow
hedges for accounting purposes are recognized in earnings in the consolidated statement of income (loss). Changes in fair value of derivative
financial instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and are
reclassified to earnings in the consolidated statement of income (loss) when the hedged transaction is reflected in earnings. Ineffective portions of
the hedges are recognized in earnings as they occur. During the life of the hedge, we formally assess whether each derivative designated as a
hedging instrument continues to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of hedged items. If it is determined that a
hedge has ceased to be highly effective, we will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively.
Judgments and Uncertainties. The fair value of our derivative financial instruments is the estimated amount that we would receive or pay to
terminate the agreements in an arm’s length transaction under normal business conditions at the reporting date, taking into account current interest
rates, foreign exchange rates, bunker fuel prices and spot tanker market rates, and estimates of the current credit worthiness of both us and the
swap counterparty. Inputs used to determine the fair value of our derivative instruments are observable either directly or indirectly in active markets.
The process of determining credit worthiness is highly subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis.
Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. If our estimates of fair value are inaccurate, this could result in a material adjustment to the carrying
amount of derivative asset or liability and consequently the change in fair value for the applicable period that would have been recognized in
earnings or comprehensive income.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (or FASB) issued an amendment to FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, that
provides for a new methodology for establishing the fair value for a deliverable in a multiple-element arrangement. When vendor specific objective or
third-party evidence for deliverables in a multiple-element arrangement cannot be determined, we will be required to develop a best estimate of the
selling price of separate deliverables and to allocate the arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. This amendment
became effective on January 1, 2011. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Compensation of Directors and Senior Management
Director Compensation
During 2010, the eight non-employee directors received, in the aggregate, $700,000 in cash fees for their services as directors, plus reimbursement
of their out-of-pocket expenses. Each non-employee director receives an annual cash retainer of $50,000. Members of the Audit Committee,
Compensation and Human Resources Committee, and Nominating and Governance Committee each receive an additional annual cash retainer of
$8,000, $5,000 and $5,000, respectively. The Chairman of the Board and the Chairman of the Audit Committee receive an additional annual cash
retainer of $278,000 and $16,000, respectively.
65
Each non-employee director (excluding the Chairman of the Board) also received an $85,000 annual retainer to be paid by way of a grant of, at the
director’s election, restricted stock or stock options under our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. Pursuant to this annual retainer, during 2010 we granted
stock options to purchase an aggregate of 58,417 shares of our common stock (excluding the Chairman of the Board’s) at an exercise price of
$24.42 per share and 27,028 shares of restricted stock. During 2010 the Chairman of the Board received a $470,000 retainer in the form of 33,874
shares of common stock and 9,623 shares of restricted stock under our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. The stock options described above expire
March 9, 2020, ten years after the date of their grant. The stock options and restricted stock vest as to one third of the shares on each of the first
three anniversaries of their respective grant date. The stock options and restricted stock are not subject to any forfeiture requirements on the
resignation of a director.
Annual Executive Compensation
The aggregate compensation earned by Teekay’s ten executive officers listed above (or the Executive Officers) for 2010 was $10.1 million. This is
comprised of base salary ($4.5 million), annual bonus ($4.8 million) and pension and other benefits ($0.8 million). These amounts were paid
primarily in Canadian Dollars, but are reported here in U.S. Dollars using an exchange rate of 1.0299 Canadian Dollars for each U.S. Dollar, the
exchange rate on December 31, 2010. Teekay’s annual bonus plan considers both company performance, through comparison to established
targets and individual performance.
Long-Term Incentive Program
Teekay's long-term incentive program provides focus on the returns realized by our shareholders and acknowledges and retains those executives
who can influence our long-term performance. The long-term incentive plan provides a balance against short-term decisions and encourages a
longer time horizon for decisions. This program consists of stock option grants, restricted stock units and performance share units. All grants in 2010
were made under our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan.
During March 2010, we granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 474,080 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $24.42,
126,572 shares of restricted stock, and 87,054 performance shares to the Executive Officers under our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. The stock
options expire March 8, 2020, ten years after the date of the grant. The stock options and restricted stock vest as to one third of the shares on each
of the first three anniversaries of their respective grant date. Performance shares have a bullet vesting at the end of the three year performance
cycle.
During March 2011, we granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 11,484 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $34.93,
216,635 shares of restricted stock, and 73,349 performance shares to the Executive Officers under our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. The stock
options expire March 14, 2021, ten years after the date of the grant. The stock options and restricted stock vest as to one third of the shares on
each of the first three anniversaries of their respective grant date. Performance shares have a bullet vesting at the end of the three year
performance cycle.
Vision Incentive Plan
In 2005, we adopted the Vision Incentive Plan (or the VIP) to reward exceptional corporate performance and shareholder returns. This plan was
designed to result in an award pool for senior management based on the following two measures: (a) economic profit from 2005 to 2010; and (b)
market value added from 2001 to 2010. In 2008, an interim distribution was made to certain participants with a value of $13.3 million, paid in March
2008 in restricted stock units, with vesting of the interim distribution in three equal amounts on November 2008, November 2009 and November
2010. In September 2009, 187,400 restricted stock units, with a two-year bullet vesting, were granted as the June 2009 New Participants Reserve
Pool allocation under the VIP. The Plan terminated on December 31, 2010 and no final award was granted to participants. During the year ended
December 31, 2010, we recorded an expense (recovery) from the VIP of $2.4 million ($0.6 million – 2009 and $(23.6) million – 2008), which is
included in general and administrative expense. As at December 31, 2010 and 2009, there was no VIP liability.
Options to Purchase Securities from Registrant or Subsidiaries
As at December 31, 2010, we had reserved pursuant to our 1995 Stock Option Plan, which was terminated with respect to new grants effective
September 10, 2003, and our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, which was adopted effective on the same date (together, the Plans), 5,537,381 shares of
common stock for issuance upon exercise of options granted or to be granted. During 2010, 2009, and 2008 we granted options under the Plans to
acquire up to 733,167, 1,517,900, and 1,476,100 shares of common stock, respectively, to eligible officers, employees and directors. Each option
under the Plans has a 10-year term and vests between two to three years from the grant date. The outstanding options under the Plans are
exercisable at prices ranging from $11.84 to $60.96 per share, with a weighted-average exercise price of $31.54 per share, and expire between
March 14, 2011 and March 8, 2020.
Board Practices
As at December 31, 2010, the Board of Directors consists of nine members. The Board of Directors is divided into three classes, with members of
each class elected to hold office for a term of three years in accordance with the classification indicated below or until his or her successor is elected
and qualified.
Directors Thomas Kuo-Yuen Hsu, Axel Karlshoej and Bjorn Moller have terms expiring in 2011. Directors Dr. Ian D. Blackburne, James R. Clark and
C. Sean Day have terms expiring in 2012. Directors Peter S. Janson, Eileen A. Mercier and Tore I. Sandvold have terms expiring in 2013.
There are no service contracts between us and any of our directors providing for benefits upon termination of their employment or service.
The Board of Directors has determined that each of the current members of the Board, other than Bjorn Moller, our President and Chief Executive
Officer until April 1, 2011, and Peter Evensen, our current President and Chief Executive Officer, has no material relationship with Teekay (either
directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with Teekay), and is independent within the meaning of our
director independence standards, which reflect the New York Stock Exchange (or NYSE) director independence standards as currently in effect and
66
as they may be changed from time to time. In making this determination the Board considered the relationships of Thomas Kuo-Yuen Hsu and Axel
Karlshoej with our largest shareholder and concluded these relationships do not materially affect their independence as current directors. Please
read Item 7 – Major Shareholders and Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.
The Board of Directors has three committees: Audit Committee, Compensation and Human Resources Committee, and Nominating and
Governance Committee. The membership of these committees during 2010 and the function of each of the committees are described below. Each
of the committees is currently comprised of independent members and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. All of the committee
charters are available under “Corporate Governance” in the Investor Centre of our website at www.teekay.com. During 2010, the Board held ten
meetings. Each director attended all Board meetings, except for one meeting at which two directors were absent. Each committee member attended
all applicable committee meetings.
Our Audit Committee is composed entirely of directors who satisfy applicable NYSE and SEC audit committee independence standards. Our Audit
Committee includes Eileen A. Mercier (Chairman), Peter S. Janson and J. Rod Clark. All members of the committee are financially literate and the
Board has determined that Ms. Mercier qualifies as an audit committee financial expert.
The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities for general oversight of:
•
•
•
•
the integrity of our financial statements;
our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;
the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence; and
the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors.
During 2010, our Compensation and Human Resources Committee included C. Sean Day (Chairman), Axel Karlshoej, Ian D. Blackburne and Peter
S. Janson.
The Compensation and Human Resources Committee:
•
•
•
•
•
reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluates the Chief
Executive Officer’s performance in light of these goals and objectives and determines the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation;
reviews and approves the evaluation process and compensation structure for executive officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer,
evaluates their performance and sets their compensation based on this evaluation;
reviews and makes recommendations to the Board regarding compensation for directors;
establishes and administers long-term incentive compensation and equity-based plans; and
oversees our other compensation plans, policies and programs.
During 2010, our Nominating and Governance Committee included Ian D. Blackburne (Chairman), Tore I. Sandvold, Eileen A. Mercier and Thomas
Kuo-Yuen Hsu.
The Nominating and Governance Committee:
•
•
•
•
identifies individuals qualified to become Board members;
selects and recommends to the Board director and committee member candidates;
develops and recommends to the Board corporate governance principles and policies applicable to us, monitors compliance with these
principles and policies and recommends to the Board appropriate changes; and
oversees the evaluation of the Board and management.
Crewing and Staff
As at December 31, 2010, we employed approximately 5,500 seagoing and 900 shore-based personnel, compared to approximately 5,400 seagoing
and 900 shore-based personnel as at December 31, 2009, and 5,700 seagoing and 900 shore-based personnel as at December 31, 2008.
We regard attracting and retaining motivated seagoing personnel as a top priority. Through our global manning organization comprised of offices in
Glasgow, Scotland, Manila, Philippines, Mumbai, India, Sydney, Australia, and Madrid, Spain, we offer seafarers what we believe are competitive
employment packages and comprehensive benefits. We also intend to provide opportunities for personal and career development, which relate to
our philosophy of promoting internally.
During fiscal 1996, we entered into a Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Philippine Seafarers’ Union, an affiliate of the International Transport
Workers’ Federation (or ITF), and a Special Agreement with ITF London that cover substantially all of our junior officers and seamen. We are also
party to Enterprise Bargaining Agreements with various Australian maritime unions that cover officers and seamen employed through our Australian
operations. Our officers and seamen for our Spanish-flagged vessels are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with Spain’s Union General
de Trabajadores and Comisiones Obreras. We believe our relationships with these labor unions are good.
67
We see our commitment to training as fundamental to the development of the highest caliber seafarers for our marine operations. Our cadet training
program is designed to balance academic learning with hands-on training at sea. We have relationships with training institutions in Canada, Croatia,
India, Norway, Philippines, Turkey and the United Kingdom. After receiving formal instruction at one of these institutions, the cadets’ training
continues on board a Teekay vessel. We also have an accredited Teekay-specific competence management system that is designed to ensure a
continuous flow of qualified officers who are trained on our vessels and are familiar with our operational standards, systems and policies. We believe
that high-quality manning and training policies will play an increasingly important role in distinguishing larger independent tanker companies that
have in-house, or affiliate, capabilities from smaller companies that must rely on outside ship managers and crewing agents.

Teekay Tankers is a NYSE-listed, Marshall Islands corporation, which we formed to acquire from us a fleet of double-hull oil tankers in connection
with Teekay Tanker's initial public offering in December 2007. Teekay Tanker's business is to own oil tankers and employ a chartering strategy that
seeks to capture upside opportunities in the spot market while using fixed-rate time charters to reduce downside risks. Its operations are managed
by our subsidiary, Teekay Tankers Management Services Ltd.
As of March 31, 2011, we owned shares of Teekay Tankers' Class A and Class B common stock that represent an ownership interest of 26.0% and

Tankers' net income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, unrealized losses from derivatives, non-cash items and any write-offs or other non-
recurring items less unrealized gains from derivatives and net income attributable to the historical results of vessels acquired by Teekay Tankers
from us, prior to their acquisition by Teekay Tankers, for the period when these vessels were owned and operated by us. We received distributions

Competition with Teekay Tankers, Teekay Offshore and Teekay LNG
Teekay has entered into an omnibus agreement with Teekay LNG, Teekay Offshore and related parties governing, among other things, when
Teekay, Teekay LNG, and Teekay Offshore may compete with each other and providing for rights of first offer on the transfer or rechartering of
certain LNG carriers, oil tankers, shuttle tankers, FSO units and FPSO units. Subject to applicable exceptions, the omnibus agreement generally
provides that (a) neither Teekay nor Teekay LNG will own or operate offshore vessels (i.e. dynamically positioned shuttle tankers, FSOs and
FPSOs) that are subject to contracts with a duration of three years or more, excluding extension options, (b) neither Teekay nor Teekay Offshore
will own or operate LNG carriers and (c) neither Teekay LNG nor Teekay Offshore will own or operate crude oil tankers.
In addition, Teekay Tankers has agreed that Teekay may pursue business opportunities attractive to both parties and of which either party becomes
aware. These business opportunities may include, among other things, opportunities to charter out, charter in or acquire oil tankers or to acquire
tanker businesses.
Sales of Vessels and Project Interests by Teekay to Teekay Tankers, Teekay Offshore and Teekay LNG
From time to time Teekay has sold to Teekay Tankers, Teekay Offshore and Teekay LNG vessels or interests in vessel owning subsidiaries or joint
ventures. These transactions include those described under "tem 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
Teekay currently has committed to the following vessel transactions with its public company subsidiaries:
•
•
•
In accordance with existing agreements, we are required to offer to Teekay LNG our 33% interest the Angola LNG Project, a joint venture
that agreed to charter four newbuilding 160,400-cubic meter LNG carriers, no later than 180 days before the scheduled delivery dates of
the vessels. Deliveries of the vessels are scheduled between August 2011 and January 2012. In February 2011, we offered to Teekay
LNG our 33% ownership interest in these vessels and related charter contracts. The transaction was approved in March 2011 by the
Board of Directors of Teekay LNG’s general partner and by its Conflicts Committee.
To sell to Teekay LNG for a total cost of approximately $94 million two technically advanced 12,000-cubic meter multi-gas newbuildings
capable of carrying LNG, LPG or ethylene. This sale will occur upon delivery and purchase by Teekay of these vessels, which is
scheduled for the first half of 2011. Upon delivery, each vessel will commence service under 15-year fixed-rate charters to I.M. Skaugen
ASA.
To sell to Teekay Offshore existing FPSO units of Teekay Petrojarl that were servicing contracts in excess of three years in length as of
July 9, 2008, the date on which Teekay Corporation acquired 100% of Teekay Petrojarl. Teekay Offshore, at its election, may acquire
these units at any time until July 9, 2010. The purchase price for any such existing FPSO units would be its fair market value plus any
additional tax or other similar costs to Teekay Petrojarl that would be required to transfer the offshore vessels to Teekay Offshore. Teekay
Offshore agreed to waive our obligation to offer the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit to Teekay Offhshore by July 9, 2010, however we are
obligated to offer the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit to Teekay Offshore prior to July 9, 2012. The purchase price for the Foinaven FPSO
would be its fair market value plus any additional tax or other similar costs to Teekay Petrojarl that would be required to transfer the FPSO
unit to Teekay Offshore.
In October 2010, we announced that we had signed a contract with Petroleo Brasileiro SA (or Petrobras) to provide a FPSO unit for the
Tiro and Sidon fields located in the Santos Basin offshore Brazil. The contract with Petrobras will be serviced by a newly converted FPSO
70
unit, to be named the Petrojarl Cidade de Itajai, which is currently under conversion from an existing Aframax tanker, for a total estimated
cost of approximately $345 million. The new FPSO unit is scheduled to deliver in the second quarter of 2012. Upon delivery, the FPSO unit
will commence operations under a nine-year, fixed-rate time-charter contract to Petrobras with six additional one-year extension options.
We are in discussions with a third party to potentially take a 50% interest in this project. Pursuant to the omnibus agreement, we are
obligated to offer to Teekay Offshore our interest in this FPSO project at our fully built-up cost within 365 days after the commencement of
the charter to Petrobras.
Time Chartering and Bareboat Chartering Arrangements
Teekay charters in from or out to its public company subsidiaries certain vessels, including the following charter arrangements:
• Nine of OPCO's conventional tankers are chartered out to Teekay subsidiaries under long-term time charters. Two of OPCO's shuttle
tankers are chartered out to Teekay subsidiaries under long-term bareboat charters. Pursuant to these charter contracts, OPCO earned
voyage revenues of $159.3 million, $127.1 million, and $119.8 million, respectively, for 2008, 2009, and 2010.
•
From December 2008 to June 2009, OPCO entered into a bareboat charter contract to in-charter one shuttle tanker from a subsidiary
Teekay. Pursuant to the charter contract, OPCO incurred time-charter hire expenses of $0.2 million and $3.4 million for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
• During 2008, two of OPCO's shuttle tankers were employed on single-voyage charters with a subsidiary of Teekay. Pursuant to these
charter contracts, OPCO earned voyage revenues of $11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.
•
From August 2008, Teekay has been chartering in from Teekay Tankers the tanker Nassau Spirit under a fixed-rate time charter expired in
July 2010 and was replaced by a 12-month time-charter contract with a third party, which started immediately after the expiration of the
time-charter contract with Teekay. During 2008, 2009 and 2010, Teekay Tankers earned revenues of $4.9 million, $13.4 million, and $6.9
million respectively, under this time-charter contract.
Services, Management and Pooling Arrangements
Services Agreements. In connection with their initial public offerings in May 2005 and December 2006, respectively, and subsequent thereto,
Teekay LNG and Teekay Offshore and certain of their subsidiaries have entered into services agreements with certain other subsidiaries of Teekay,
pursuant to which the other Teekay subsidiaries provide to Teekay LNG, Teekay Offshore and their subsidiaries administrative, advisory and
technical and ship management services. These services are provided in a commercially reasonably manner and upon the reasonable request of
the general partner or subsidiaries of Teekay LNG or Teekay Offshore, as applicable. The other Teekay subsidiaries that are parties to the services
agreements provide these services directly or subcontract for certain of these services with other entities, including other Teekay subsidiaries.
Teekay LNG and Teekay Offshore pay arm's-length fees for the services that include reimbursement of the reasonable cost of any direct and
indirect expenses the other Teekay subsidiaries incur in providing these services. During 2008, 2009 and 2010, Teekay LNG and Teekay Offshore
incurred expenses of $29.5 million, $38.8 million, and $45.4 million, and $59.2 million, $40.4 million, and $43.0 million, respectively, for these
services.
Management Agreement. In connection with its initial public offering, Teekay Tankers entered into the long-term management agreement with
Teekay Tankers Management Services Ltd., a subsidiary of Teekay (the Manager). Subject to certain limited termination rights, the initial term of the
management agreement will expire on December 31, 2022. If not terminated, the agreement will automatically renew for five-year periods.
Termination fees are required for early termination by Teekay Tankers under certain circumstances. Pursuant to the management agreement, the
Manager provides to Teekay Tankers the following types of services: commercial (primarily vessel chartering), technical (primarily vessel
maintenance and crewing), administrative (primarily accounting, legal and financial) and strategic (primarily advising on acquisitions, strategic
planning and general management of the business). The Manager has agreed to use its best efforts to provide these services upon Teekay Tankers'
request in a commercially reasonable manner and may provide these services directly to Teekay Tankers or subcontract for certain of these
services with other entities, primarily other Teekay subsidiaries.
In return for services under the management agreement, Teekay Tankers pays the Manager an agreed-upon fee for commercial services (other
than for Teekay Tankers vessels participating in pooling arrangements), a technical services fee equal to the average rate Teekay charges third
parties to technically manage their vessels of a similar size, and fees for administrative and strategic services that reimburse the Manager for its
related direct and indirect expenses in providing such services and which includes a profit margin. During 2008, 2009, and 2010, Teekay Tankers
incurred $6.6, $5.7 million, and $5.6 million, respectively, for these services.
The management agreement also provides for the payment of a performance fee in order to provide the Manager an incentive to increase cash
available for distribution to Teekay Tankers' stockholders. Teekay Tankers did not incur any performance fees for the years ended December 31,
2010 and 2009, and incurred $1.4 million in performance fees for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Pooling Arrangements. Certain Aframax and Suezmax tankers of Teekay Tankers participate in vessel pooling arrangements managed by other
Teekay subsidiaries. The pool managers provide commercial services to the pool participants and administer the pools in exchange for a fee
currently equal to 1.25% of the gross revenues attributable to each pool participant's vessels and a fixed amount per vessel per day which ranges
from $275 (for the Suezmax tanker pool) to $350 (for the Aframax tanker pool). Voyage revenues and voyage expenses of Teekay Tankers' vessels
operating in these pool arrangements are pooled with the voyage revenues and voyage expenses of other pool participants. The resulting net pool
revenues, calculated on a time charter equivalent basis, are allocated to the pool participants according to an agreed formula. Teekay Tankers
incurred pool management fees during 2008, 2009 and 2010 of $4.4 million, $2.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Please read Item 18 below.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time we have been, and we expect to continue to be, subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of our business,
principally personal injury and property casualty claims. Such claims, even if lacking merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and
managerial resources. We are not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material
adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Dividend Policy
Commencing with the quarter ended September 30, 1995, we declared and paid quarterly cash dividends in the amount of $0.1075 per share on our
common stock. We increased our quarterly dividend from $0.1375 to $0.2075 per share in the fourth quarter of 2005, from $0.2075 to $0.2375 in the
fourth quarter of 2006, from $0.2375 to $0.275 in the fourth quarter of 2007, and from $0.275 to $0.31625 in the fourth quarter of 2008. Subject to
financial results and declaration by the Board of Directors, we currently intend to continue to declare and pay a regular quarterly dividend in such
amount per share on our common stock. Pursuant to our dividend reinvestment program, holders of common stock are permitted to choose, in lieu
of receiving cash dividends, to reinvest any dividends in additional shares of common stock at then-prevailing market prices, but without brokerage
commissions or service charges. All per-share data give effect to this stock split retroactively.
The timing and amount of dividends, if any, will depend, among other things, on our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements,
restrictions in financing agreements and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. Because we are a holding company with no
material assets other than the stock of our subsidiaries, our ability to pay dividends on the common stock depends on the earnings and cash flow of
our subsidiaries.

Taxation
73
Teekay Corporation was incorporated in the Republic of Liberia on February 9, 1979 and was domesticated in the Republic of The Marshall Islands
on December 20, 1999. Its principal executive headquarters are located in Bermuda. The following provides information regarding taxes to which a
U.S. Holder of our common stock may be subject.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to stockholders. This discussion is based
upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or the Code), applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder, court decisions and administrative interpretations, all as of the date of this Annual Report and which are subject to change, possibly with
retroactive effect, or are subject to different interpretations. Changes in these authorities may cause the tax consequences to vary substantially from
the consequences described below. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this section to “we,” “our” or “us” are references to Teekay
Corporation.
This discussion is limited to stockholders who hold their stock as a capital asset for tax purposes. This discussion does not address all tax
considerations that may be important to a particular stockholder in light of the stockholder’s circumstances, or to certain categories of stockholders
that may be subject to special tax rules, such as:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
dealers in securities or currencies,
traders in securities that have elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities,
persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar,
persons holding our common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, conversion or other “synthetic security” or integrated transaction,
certain U.S. expatriates,
financial institutions,
insurance companies,
persons subject to the alternative minimum tax,
persons that actually or under applicable constructive ownership rules own 10% or more of our common stock; and
entities that are tax-exempt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our common stock, the tax
treatment of a partner generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership
holding our common stock, you should consult your own tax advisor about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of
the common stock.
This discussion does not address any U.S. estate tax considerations or tax considerations arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S.
jurisdiction. Each stockholder is urged to consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and other tax consequences of the
ownership or disposition of our common stock.
United States Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders
As used herein, the term U.S. Holder means a beneficial owner of our common stock that is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien, a corporation or
other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that was created or organized in or under the laws of the United States,
any state thereof or the District of Columbia, an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or a trust
that either is subject to the supervision of a court within the United States and has one or more U.S. persons with authority to control all of its
substantial decisions or has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person.
Distributions
Subject to the discussion of passive foreign investment companies (or PFICs) below, any distributions made by us with respect to our common
stock to a U.S. Holder generally will constitute dividends, which may be taxable as ordinary income or “qualified dividend income” as described in
more detail below, to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles.
Distributions in excess of our earnings and profits will be treated first as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in
its common stock and thereafter as capital gain. U.S. Holders that are corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will not be
entitled to claim a dividends received deduction with respect to any distributions they receive from us. Dividends paid with respect to our common
stock generally will be treated as “passive category income” or, in the case of certain types of U.S. Holders, “general category income” for purposes
of computing allowable foreign tax credits for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Dividends paid on our common stock to a U.S. Holder who is an individual, trust or estate (or a U.S. Individual Holder) will be treated as “qualified
dividend income” that currently is taxable to such U.S. Individual Holder at preferential capital gain tax rates provided that: (i) our common stock is
readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States (such as the New York Stock Exchange on which our common stock is
traded); (ii) we are not a PFIC for the taxable year during which the dividend is paid or the immediately preceding taxable year (we intend to take the
position that we are not now and have never been a PFIC, as discussed below); (iii) the U.S. Individual Holder has owned the common stock for
more than 60 days in the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the date on which the common stock become ex-dividend; (iv) the U.S. Individual
Holder is not under an obligation to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property; and (v) certain other
conditions are met. There is no assurance that any dividends paid on our common stock will be eligible for these preferential rates in the hands of a
U.S. Individual Holder. Any dividends paid on our common stock not eligible for these preferential rates will be taxed as ordinary income to a
74
U.S. Individual Holder. In the absence of legislation extending the term of the preferential tax rates for qualified dividend income, all dividends
received by a taxpayer in tax years beginning after December 31, 2020 will be taxed at ordinary graduated tax rates.
Special rules may apply to any “extraordinary dividend” paid by us. An extraordinary dividend generally is a dividend with respect to a share of stock
if the amount of the dividend is equal to or in excess of 10.0 percent of a stockholder’s adjusted basis (or fair market value in certain circumstances)
in such stock. If we pay an “extraordinary dividend” on our common stock that is treated as “qualified dividend income,” then any loss derived by a
U.S. Individual Holder from the sale or exchange of such common stock will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of such dividend.
Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals, estates or trusts will be subject to pay a 3.8% tax on, among other things, dividends for taxable years
beginning after December 31, 2012. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this tax on their ownership of our
common stock.
Sale, Exchange or other Disposition of Common Stock
Assuming we do not constitute a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize taxable gain or loss upon a sale, exchange or
other disposition of our common stock in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized by the U.S. Holder from such sale,
exchange or other disposition and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such stock. Subject to the discussion of extraordinary dividends above, such gain or
loss will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period is greater than one year at the time of the sale, exchange or
other disposition, and subject to preferential capital gain tax rates. Such capital gain or loss generally will be treated as U.S.-source gain or loss, as
applicable, for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. A U.S. Holder’s ability to deduct capital losses is subject to certain limitations.
Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals, estates or trusts will be subject to a 3.8% tax on, among other things, capital gains from the sale or other
disposition of stock for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any,
of this legislation on their disposition of our common stock.
Consequences of Possible PFIC Classification
A non-U.S. entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be a PFIC in any taxable year in which, after taking into account
the income and assets of the corporation and certain subsidiaries pursuant to a “look through” rule, either: (i) at least 75% of its gross income is
“passive” income; or (ii) at least 50% of the average value of its assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the
production of passive income. For purposes of these tests, “passive income” includes dividends, interest, and gains from the sale or exchange of
investment property and rents and royalties, other than rents and royalties that are received from unrelated parties in connection with the active
conduct of a trade or business. By contrast, income derived from the performance of services does not constitute “passive income.”
There are legal uncertainties involved in determining whether the income derived from our time chartering activities constitutes rental income or
income derived from the performance of services, including the decision in Tidewater Inc. v. United States, 565 F.3d 299 (5th Cir. 2009), which held
that income derived from certain time-chartering activities should be treated as rental income rather than services income for purposes of a foreign
sales corporation provision of the Code. However, the Internal Revenue Service (or IRS) stated in an Action on Decision (AOD 2010-001) that
it disagrees with, and will not acquiesce to, the way that the rental versus services framework was applied to the facts in the Tidewater
decision, and in its discussion stated that the time charters at issue in Tidewater would be treated as producing services income for PFIC
purposes. The IRS's statement with respect to Tidewater cannot be relied upon or otherwise cited as precedent by taxpayers.
Consequently, in the absence of any binding legal authority specifically relating to the statutory provisions governing PFICs, there can be no
assurance that the IRS or a court would not follow the Tidewater decision in interpreting the PFIC provisions of the Code. Nevertheless,
based on our and our subsidiaries’ assets and operations, we intend to take the position that we are not now and have never been a PFIC. No
assurance can be given, however, that the IRS, or a court of law, will accept our position or that we would not constitute a PFIC for any future
taxable year if there were to be changes in our or our subsidiaries assets, income or operations.
As discussed more fully below, if we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder would be subject to different taxation rules
depending on whether the U.S. Holder makes a timely and effective election to treat us as a “Qualified Electing Fund” (a QEF election). As an
alternative to making a QEF election, a U.S. Holder should be able to make a “mark-to-market” election with respect to our common stock, as
discussed below. In addition, U.S. Holders of PFICs may be subject to additional reporting requirements.
Taxation of U.S. Holders Making a Timely QEF Election. If a U.S. Holder makes a timely QEF election (an Electing Holder), the Electing Holder
must report each year for U.S. federal income tax purposes the Electing Holder’s pro rata share of our ordinary earnings and net capital gain, if any,
for our taxable years that end with or within the Electing Holder’s taxable year, regardless of whether or not the Electing Holder received
distributions from us in that year. Such income inclusions would not be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to “qualified dividend income.”
The Electing Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common stock will be increased to reflect taxed but undistributed earnings and profits. Distributions
of earnings and profits that were previously taxed will result in a corresponding reduction in the Electing Holder’s adjusted tax basis in common
stock and will not be taxed again once distributed. An Electing Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other
disposition of our common stock. A U.S. Holder makes a QEF election with respect to any year that we are a PFIC by filing IRS Form 8621 with the
holder’s timely filed U.S. federal income tax return (including extensions).
If a U.S. Holder has not made a timely QEF election with respect to the first year in the holder’s holding period of our common stock during which we
qualified as a PFIC, the holder may be treated as having made a timely QEF election by filing a QEF election with the holder’s timely filed
U.S. federal income tax return (including extensions) and, under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code, a “deemed sale election” to include in
income as an “excess distribution” (described below) the amount of any gain that the holder would otherwise recognize if the holder sold the holder’s
common stock on the “qualification date.” The qualification date is the first day of our taxable year in which we qualified as a “qualified electing fund”
with respect to such U.S. Holder. In addition to the above rules, under very limited circumstances, a U.S. Holder may make a retroactive QEF
election if the holder failed to file the QEF election documents in a timely manner. If a U.S. Holder makes a timely QEF election for one of our
taxable years, but did not make such election with respect to the first year in the holder’s holding period of our common stock during which we
qualified as a PFIC and the holder did not make the deemed sale election described above, the holder will also be subject to the more adverse rules
described below.
75
A U.S. Holder’s QEF election will not be effective unless we annually provide the holder with certain information concerning our income and gain,
calculated in accordance with the Code, to be included with the holder’s U.S. federal income tax return. We have not provided our U.S. Holders with
such information in prior taxable years and do not intend to provide such information in the current taxable year. Accordingly, U.S. Holders will not
be able to make an effective QEF election at this time. If, contrary to our expectations, we determine that we are or will be a PFIC for any taxable
year, we will provide U.S. Holders with the information necessary to make an effective QEF election with respect to our common stock.
Taxation of U.S. Holders Making a “Mark-to-Market” Election. If we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year and, as we anticipate, our
stock were treated as “marketable stock,” then, as an alternative to making a QEF election, a U.S. Holder would be allowed to make a “mark-to-
market” election with respect to our common stock, provided the U.S. Holder completes and files IRS Form 8621 in accordance with the relevant
instructions and related Treasury Regulations. If that election is made for the first year a U.S. Holder holds or is deemed to hold our common stock
and for which we are a PFIC, the U.S. Holder generally would include as ordinary income in each taxable year that we are a PFIC the excess, if any,
of the fair market value of the U.S. Holder’s common stock at the end of the taxable year over the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common stock.
The U.S. Holder also would be permitted an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common
stock over the fair market value thereof at the end of the taxable year that we are a PFIC, but only to the extent of the net amount previously
included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the holder’s common stock would be adjusted to reflect
any such income or loss recognized. Gain recognized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock in taxable years that we are a
PFIC would be treated as ordinary income, and any loss recognized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of the common stock in taxable
years that we are a PFIC would be treated as ordinary loss to the extent that such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously
included in income by the U.S. Holder. Because the mark-to-market election only applies to marketable stock, however, it would not apply to a
U.S. Holder’s indirect interest in any of our subsidiaries that were also determined to be PFICs.
If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election for one of our taxable years and we were a PFIC for a prior taxable year during which such holder
held our common stock and for which (i) we were not a QEF with respect to such holder and (ii) such holder did not make a timely mark-to-market
election, such holder would also be subject to the more adverse rules described below in the first taxable year for which the mark-to-market election
is in effect and also to the extent the fair market value of the U.S. Holder’s common stock exceeds the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common
stock at the end of the first taxable year for which the mark-to-market election is in effect.
Taxation of U.S. Holders Not Making a Timely QEF or Mark-to-Market Election. If we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, a
U.S. Holder who does not make either a QEF election or a “mark-to-market” election for that year (a Non-Electing Holder) would be subject to
special rules resulting in increased tax liability with respect to (i) any “excess distribution” (i.e., the portion of any distributions received by the Non-
Electing Holder on our common stock in a taxable year in excess of 125% of the average annual distributions received by the Non-Electing Holder in
the three preceding taxable years, or, if shorter, the Non-Electing Holder’s holding period for the common stock), and (ii) any gain realized on the
sale, exchange or other disposition of the stock. Under these special rules:
•
•
•
•
the excess distribution or gain would be allocated ratably over the Non-Electing Holder’s aggregate holding period for the common stock;
the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the taxable year we were first treated as a PFIC with respect
to the Non-Electing Holder would be taxed as ordinary income in the current taxable year;
the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the highest rate of tax in effect for
the applicable class of taxpayers for that year; and
an interest charge for the deemed deferral benefit would be imposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each such other
taxable year.
If we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year and a Non-Electing Holder who is an individual dies while owning our common stock, such
holder’s successor generally would not receive a step-up in tax basis with respect to such stock. In addition, a U.S. Holder is required to file an
annual report with the IRS for each taxable year after 2010 in which we are treated as a PFIC with respect to the U.S. Holder’s common stock.
U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the applicability, availability and advisability of, and procedure for,
making QEF, Mark-to-Market Elections and other available elections with respect to us and our subsidiaries, and the U.S. federal income
tax consequences of making such elections.
Consequences of Possible Controlled Foreign Corporation Classification
If CFC Shareholders (generally, U.S. Holders who each own, directly, indirectly or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of
our outstanding shares entitled to vote) own directly, indirectly or constructively more than 50 percent of either the total combined voting power of
our outstanding shares entitled to vote or the total value of all of our outstanding shares, we generally would be treated as a controlled foreign
corporation, or a CFC.
CFC Shareholders are treated as receiving current distributions of their shares of certain income of the CFC without regard to any actual
distributions and are subject to other burdensome U.S. federal income tax and administrative requirements but generally are not also subject to the
requirements generally applicable to shareholders of a PFIC. In addition, a person who is or has been a CFC Shareholder may recognize ordinary
income on the disposition of shares of the CFC. Although we do not believe we are or will become a CFC, U.S. persons owning a substantial
interest in us should consider the potential implications of being treated as a CFC Shareholder in the event we become a CFC in the future.
The U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders who are not CFC Shareholders would not change in the event we become a CFC in the
future.
U.S. Return Disclosure Requirements for U.S. Individual Holders
76
U.S. Individual Holders that hold certain specified foreign financial assets, including stock in a foreign corporation that is not held in an account
maintained by a financial institution, will be subject to additional U.S. return disclosure obligations if the aggregate value of all such assets exceeds
$50,000 (and related penalties for failure to disclose). Stockholders are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible
application of this disclosure requirement to their ownership of our common units.
United States Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders
A beneficial owner of our common stock (other than a partnership, including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal
income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. Holder is a Non-U.S. Holder.
Distributions
Distributions we make to a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax if the Non-U.S. Holder is not engaged in
a U.S. trade or business. If the Non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a U.S. trade or business, distributions we make will be subject to U.S. federal income
tax to the extent those distributions constitute income effectively connected with that Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. trade or business. However,
distributions made to a Non-U.S. Holder that is engaged in a trade or business may be exempt from taxation under an income tax treaty if the
income represented thereby is not attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder.
Sale, Exchange or other Disposition of Common Stock
The U.S. federal income taxation of Non-U.S. Holders on any gain resulting from the disposition of our common stock generally is the same as
described above regarding distributions. However, an individual Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to tax on gain resulting from the disposition of our
common stock if the holder is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which such disposition occurs and meet
certain other requirements.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
In general, payments of distributions or the proceeds of a disposition of common stock to a non-corporate U.S. Holder will be subject to information
reporting requirements. These payments to a non-corporate U.S. Holder also may be subject to backup withholding if the non-corporate U.S.
Holder:
•
•
•
fails to timely provide an accurate taxpayer identification number;
is notified by the IRS that it has failed to report all interest or distributions required to be shown on its U.S. federal income tax returns; or
in certain circumstances, fails to comply with applicable certification requirements.
Non-U.S. Holders may be required to establish their exemption from information reporting and backup withholding on payments within the United
States, or through a U.S. payor by certifying their status on IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY, as applicable.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, a stockholder generally may obtain a credit for any amount withheld against its liability for U.S.
federal income tax (and a refund of any amounts withheld in excess of such liability) by accurately completing and timely filing a return with the IRS.
Non-United States Tax Consequences
Marshall Islands Tax Consequences. Because Teekay and our subsidiaries do not, and do not expect that we or they will, conduct business or
operations in the Republic of The Marshall Islands, and because all documentation related to issuances of shares of our common stock was
executed outside of the Republic of The Marshall Islands, under current Marshall Islands law, no taxes or withholdings will be imposed by the
Republic of The Marshall Islands on distributions made to holders of shares of our common stock, so long as such persons do not reside in,
maintain offices in, or engage in business in the Republic of The Marshall Islands. Furthermore, no stamp, capital gains or other taxes will be
imposed by the Republic of The Marshall Islands on the purchase, ownership or disposition by such persons of shares of our common stock.

Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk from foreign currency fluctuations and changes in interest rates, bunker fuel prices and spot tanker market rates for
vessels. We use foreign currency forward contracts, cross currency and interest rate swaps, bunker fuel swap contracts and forward freight
agreements to manage currency, interest rate, bunker fuel price and spot tanker market rate risks but do not use these financial instruments for
trading or speculative purposes, except as noted below under Spot Tanker Market Rate Risk. Please read Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 15
– Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
Foreign Currency Fluctuation Risk
Our primary economic environment is the international shipping market. Transactions in this market generally utilize the U.S. Dollar. Consequently,
a substantial majority of our revenues and most of our operating costs are in U.S. Dollars. We incur certain voyage expenses, vessel operating
expenses, drydocking and overhead costs in foreign currencies, the most significant of which are the Australian Dollar, British Pound, Canadian
Dollar, Euro, Norwegian Kroner and Singapore Dollar. There is a risk that currency fluctuations will have a negative effect on the value of cash
flows.
We reduce our exposure by entering into foreign currency forward contracts. In most cases, we hedge a substantial majority of our net foreign
currency exposure for the following 12 months. We generally do not hedge our net foreign currency exposure beyond three years forward.
As at December 31, 2010, we had the following foreign currency forward contracts:

(2) Average contractual exchange rate represents the contractual amount of foreign currency one U.S. Dollar will buy.
Although the majority of our transactions, assets and liabilities are denominated in U.S. Dollars, certain of our subsidiaries have foreign currency-
denominated liabilities. There is a risk that currency fluctuations will have a negative effect on the value of our cash flows. We have not entered into
any forward contracts to protect against the translation risk of our foreign currency-denominated liabilities. As at December 31, 2010, we had Euro-
denominated term loans of 278.9 million Euros ($373.3 million) included in long-term debt and Norwegian Kroner-denominated deferred income
taxes of approximately 86.1 million ($14.8 million). We receive Euro-denominated revenue from certain of our time-charters. These Euro cash
receipts generally are sufficient to pay the principal and interest payments on our Euro-denominated term loans. Consequently, we have not entered
into any foreign currency forward contracts with respect to our Euro-denominated term loans, although there is no assurance that our exposure to
fluctuations in the Euro will not increase in the future.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowings that require us to make interest payments based on LIBOR
or EURIBOR. Significant increases in interest rates could adversely affect our operating margins, results of operations and our ability to repay our
debt. We use interest rate swaps to reduce our exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates. Generally our approach is to hedge a
substantial majority of floating-rate debt associated with our vessels that are operating on long-term fixed-rate contracts. We manage the rest of our
debt based on our outlook for interest rates and other factors.
In order to minimize counterparty risk, we only enter into derivative transactions with counterparties that are rated A- or better by Standard & Poor’s
or A3 by Moody’s at the time of the transaction. In addition, to the extent possible and practical, interest rate swaps are entered into with different
counterparties to reduce concentration risk.
The table below provides information about our financial instruments at December 31, 2010, which are sensitive to changes in interest rates,
including our debt and capital lease obligations and interest rate swaps. For long-term debt and capital lease obligations, the table presents principal
cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates. For interest rate swaps, the table presents notional amounts and
weighted-average interest rates by expected contractual maturity dates.

(1) Rate refers to the weighted-average effective interest rate for our long-term debt and capital lease obligations, including the margin we pay on
our floating-rate, which as of December 31, 2010, ranged from 0.3% to 3.25%. The average interest rate for our capital lease obligations is the
weighted-average interest rate implicit in our lease obligations at the inception of the leases.
(2)
Interest payments on U.S. Dollar-denominated debt and interest rate swaps are based on LIBOR. The average fixed pay rate for our interest
rate swaps excludes the margin we pay on our floating-rate debt.
(3)
Interest payments on Euro-denominated debt and interest rate swaps are based on EURIBOR.
(4) Euro-denominated amounts have been converted to U.S. Dollars using the prevailing exchange rate as of December 31, 2010.
(5) Excludes capital lease obligations (present value of minimum lease payments) of 61.2 million Euros ($81.9 million) on one of our existing LNG
carriers with a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 5.8%. Under the terms of this fixed-rate lease obligation, we are required to have on
deposit, subject to a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 5.1%, an amount of cash that, together with the interest earned thereon, will fully
fund the amount owing under the capital lease obligation, including a vessel purchase obligation. As at December 31, 2010, this amount was
61.7 million Euros ($82.6 million). Consequently, we are not subject to interest rate risk from these obligations or deposits.
(6) Under the terms of the capital leases for the RasGas II LNG Carriers (see Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 10 – Capital Lease Obligations
and Restricted Cash), we are required to have on deposit, subject to a variable rate of interest, an amount of cash that, together with interest
earned on the deposit, will equal the remaining amounts owing under the variable-rate leases. The deposits, which as at December 31, 2010,
totaled $477.2 million, and the lease obligations, which as at December 31, 2010, totaled $470.8 million, have been swapped for fixed-rate
deposits and fixed-rate obligations. Consequently, we are not subject to interest rate risk from these obligations and deposits and, therefore,
the lease obligations, cash deposits and related interest rate swaps have been excluded from the table above. As at December 31, 2010, the
contract amount, fair value and fixed interest rates of these interest rate swaps related to the RasGas II LNG Carriers capital lease obligations
and restricted cash deposits were $437.5 million and $471.5 million, ($60.2) million and $66.9 million, and 4.9% and 4.8% respectively.
(7) The amount of capital lease obligations represents the present value of minimum lease payments together with our purchase obligation, as
applicable (see Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 10 – Capital Lease Obligations and Restricted Cash).
(8) The average interest rate is the weighted-average interest rate implicit in the capital lease obligations at the inception of the leases.
(9) The average variable receive rate for our interest rate swaps is set monthly at the 1-month LIBOR or EURIBOR, quarterly at the 3-month
LIBOR or semi-annually at the 6-month LIBOR.
(10) Includes interest rate swaps of $200 million that commence in 2011.
Commodity Price Risk
From time to time we may use bunker fuel swap contracts relating to a portion of our bunker fuel expenditures. As at December 31, 2010, we had
no bunker fuel swap contract commitments. As at December 31, 2009, we were committed to contracts totalling 23,400 metric tonnes with a
weighted-average price of $439.23 per tonne and a fair value asset of $0.6 million. These bunker fuel swap contracts expired between January
2010 and December 2010.
Spot Tanker Market Rate Risk
In order to reduce variability in revenues from fluctuations in certain spot tanker market rates, from time to time we have entered into forward freight
agreements (or FFAs). FFAs involve contracts to move a theoretical volume of freight at fixed-rates, thus attempting to reduce our exposure to spot
tanker market rates. As at December 31, 2010, we had no FFAs commitments. As at December 31, 2009, the FFAs had an aggregate notional
79
value of $30.5 million, which was an aggregate of both long and short positions, and a net fair value liability of $0.5 million. These FFAs expired
between January 2010 and December 2010.

Item 14. Material Modifications to the Rights of Security Holders and Use of Proceeds
None.
Item 15. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (or the Exchange Act)) that are designed to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed in our reports that are filed or submitted
under the Exchange Act, are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar
functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective as of December 31, 2010.
During 2010, there were no changes in our internal controls that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all
fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, a control
system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are
met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered
relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all
control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within us have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in
decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the
individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls
also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining for us adequate internal controls over financial reporting.
Our internal controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation and
presentation of the consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. Our internal controls over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that, 1) pertain to the maintenance of records
that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; 2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors; and 3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have
a material effect on the financial statements.
We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based upon the framework in Internal Control –
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the
documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on
this evaluation.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements even when determined to be
effective and can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. However, based on the evaluation, management believes that we
maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010.
Our independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, a registered public accounting firm has audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements
and our internal control over financial reporting. Their attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting can be
found on page F-2 of this Annual Report.

entered into pursuant to detailed pre-approval policies and procedures established by the Audit Committee, as long as the Audit Committee is
informed on a timely basis of any engagement entered into on that basis. The Audit Committee separately pre-approved all engagements and fees
paid to our principal accountant in 2010.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
TEEKAY CORPORATION
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Teekay Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31,
2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), changes in total equity, cash flows and comprehensive income (loss) for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Teekay
Corporation and subsidiaries as at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Teekay Corporation
and subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated April 13, 2011 expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
TEEKAY CORPORATION
We have audited Teekay Corporation and subsidiaries’ (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on
criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(the COSO criteria). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting in the accompanying Form 20-F. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that
a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Teekay Corporation and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2010 based on the COSO criteria.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the 2010 consolidated
financial statements of Teekay Corporation and subsidiaries, and our report dated April 13, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

TEEKAY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share data)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (or
GAAP). They include the accounts of Teekay Corporation (or Teekay), which is incorporated under the laws of The Republic of the Marshall
Islands, and its wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). Significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated upon consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Given the
current credit markets, it is possible that the amounts recorded as derivative assets and liabilities could vary by material amounts.
Certain of the comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in the current period, primarily relating to
the reclassification at December 31, 2009 of unrecognized tax benefits of $40.9 million from accrued liabilities to other long-term liabilities and
the reclassification of vessel inventory of $5.8 million from other current assets to prepaid expenses in the consolidated balance sheets. Also
the reclassification of certain crew training expenses of $13.6 million and $19.3 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2009
and 2008 from general and administrative expenses to vessel operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
Reporting currency
The consolidated financial statements are stated in U.S. Dollars. The functional currency of the Company is U.S. Dollars because the Company
operates in the international shipping market, which typically utilizes the U.S. Dollar as the functional currency. Transactions involving other
currencies during the year are converted into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. At the balance
sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar are translated to reflect the year-end
exchange rates. Resulting gains or losses are reflected separately in the accompanying consolidated statements of income (loss).
Operating revenues and expenses
The Company recognizes revenues from time-charters and bareboat charters daily over the term of the charter as the applicable vessel
operates under the charter. The Company does not recognize revenue during days that the vessel is offhire. When the time-charter contains a
profit-sharing agreement, the Company recognizes the profit-sharing or contingent revenue only after meeting the profit sharing or other
contingent threshold. All revenues from voyage charters are recognized on a percentage of completion method. The Company uses a
discharge-to-discharge basis in determining percentage of completion for all spot voyages and voyages servicing contracts of affreightment,
whereby it recognizes revenue ratably from when product is discharged (unloaded) at the end of one voyage to when it is discharged after the
next voyage. The Company does not begin recognizing revenue until a charter has been agreed to by the customer and the Company, even if
the vessel has discharged its cargo and is sailing to the anticipated load port on its next voyage. Shuttle tanker voyages servicing contracts of
affreightment with offshore oil fields commence with tendering of notice of readiness at a field, within the agreed lifting range, and ends with
tendering of notice of readiness at a field for the next lifting. Revenues from floating production storage and offtake (or FPSO) service contracts
are recognized as service is performed. Certain of the Company’s FPSO units receive incentive-based revenue, which is recognized when
earned by fulfillment of the applicable performance criteria. The consolidated balance sheets reflect the deferred portion of revenues and
expenses, which will be earned in subsequent periods.
Revenues and voyage expenses of the Company’s vessels operating in pool arrangements with unrelated parties are pooled with the revenues
and voyage expenses of other pool participants. The resulting net pool revenues, calculated on the time-charter-equivalent basis, are allocated
to the pool participants according to an agreed formula. The Company accounts for the net allocation from the pool as revenues and amounts
due from the pool are included in accounts receivable.
Voyage expenses are all expenses unique to a particular voyage, including bunker fuel expenses, port fees, cargo loading and unloading
expenses, canal tolls, agency fees and commissions. Vessel operating expenses include crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores,
lube oils and communication expenses. Voyage expenses and vessel operating expenses are recognized when incurred.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company classifies all highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less at inception as cash equivalents.
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best
estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical
write-off experience and customer economic data. The Company reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts regularly and past due balances
are reviewed for collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company believes that the receivable will not
be recovered. There are no significant amounts recorded as allowance for doubtful accounts as at December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008.

TEEKAY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share data)
Marketable securities
The Company's investments in marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and are carried at fair value. Net unrealized
gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Realized
gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are computed based upon the historical cost of these securities applied using the weighted-
average historical cost method.
The Company analyzes its available-for-sale securities for impairment during each reporting period to evaluate whether an event or change in
circumstances has occurred in that period that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. The Company records
an impairment charge through current-period earnings and adjusts the cost basis for such other-than-temporary declines in fair value when the
fair value is not anticipated to recover above cost within a three-month period after the measurement date, unless there are mitigating factors
that indicate an impairment charge through earnings may not be required. If an impairment charge is recorded, subsequent recoveries in fair
value are not reflected in earnings until sale of the security.
Vessels and equipment
All pre-delivery costs incurred during the construction of newbuildings, including interest, supervision and technical costs, are capitalized. The
acquisition cost and all costs incurred to restore used vessels purchased by the Company to the standard required to properly service the
Company's customers are capitalized.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over a vessel's estimated useful life, less an estimated residual value. Depreciation is
calculated using an estimated useful life of 25 years for crude oil tankers, 25 to 30 years for FPSO units and 35 years for liquefied natural gas
(or LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (or LPG) carriers, commencing the date the vessel is delivered from the shipyard, or a shorter period if
regulations prevent the Company from operating the vessels for 25 years or 35 years, respectively. Depreciation includes depreciation on all
owned vessels and amortization of vessels accounted for as capital leases. Depreciation of vessels and equipment, excluding amortization of
drydocking expenditures, for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 aggregated $355.5 million, $362.3 million and $340.7
million, respectively, of which $33.5 million, $31.6 million and $31.6 million relate to amortization of vessels accounted for as capital leases.
Vessel capital modifications include the addition of new equipment or can encompass various modifications to the vessel that are aimed at
improving or increasing the operational efficiency and functionality of the asset. This type of expenditure is amortized over the estimated useful
life of the modification. Expenditures covering recurring routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Interest costs capitalized to vessels and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, aggregated $14.0 million, $14.0
million and $32.5 million, respectively.
Generally, the Company drydocks each vessel every two and a half to five years. The Company capitalizes a substantial portion of the costs
incurred during drydocking and amortizes those costs on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, which typically is from the
completion of a drydocking or intermediate survey to the estimated completion of the next drydocking. The Company includes in capitalized
drydocking those costs incurred as part of the drydock to meet classification and regulatory requirements. The Company expenses costs
related to routine repairs and maintenance performed during drydocking, and for annual class survey costs on the Company’s FPSO units.
Amortization of drydocking expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, aggregated $86.1 million, $62.0 million and
$42.4 million, respectively.
Drydocking activity for the three years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, is summarized as follows:

Vessels and equipment that are “held and used” are assessed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of
the asset may not be recoverable. If the asset’s net carrying value exceeds the net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated over its
remaining useful life, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is determined based on
discounted cash flows or appraised values depending on the nature of the asset.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share data)
Gains on vessels sold and leased back under capital leases are deferred and amortized over the remaining term of the capital lease. Losses on
vessels sold and leased back under capital leases are recognized immediately when the fair value of the vessel at the time of sale and lease-
back is less than its book value. In such case, the Company would recognize a loss in the amount by which book value exceeds fair value.
Direct financing leases and other loan receivables
The Company employs two vessels on long-term time charters, a floating storage and offtake (or FSO) unit, and assembles, installs, operates
and leases equipment that reduces volatile organic compound emissions (or VOC Equipment) during loading, transportation and storage of oil
and oil products, all of which are accounted for as direct financing leases. The lease payments received by the Company under these lease
arrangements are allocated between the net investments in the leases and revenues or other income using the effective interest method so as
to produce a constant periodic rate of return over the lease terms.
The Company’s investments in loan receivables are recorded at cost. The premium paid over the outstanding principal amount, if any, is
amortized to interest income over the term of the loan using the effective interest rate method. The Company analyzes its loans for impairment
during each reporting period. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable
to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors the Company considers in determining that a loan
is impaired include, among other things, an assessment of the financial condition of the debtor, payment history of the debtor, general
economic conditions, the credit rating of the debtor, and any information provided by the debtor regarding its ability to repay the loan. When a
loan is impaired, the Company measures the amount of the impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at
the loan's effective interest rate and recognizes the resulting impairment in the consolidated statement of income (loss).
The following table contains a summary of the Company’s financing receivables by type of borrower and the method by which the Company

Investment in joint ventures
The Company’s investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting,
investments are stated at initial cost and are adjusted for subsequent additional investments and the Company’s proportionate share of
earnings or losses and distributions. The Company evaluates its investments in joint ventures for impairment when events or circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of such investments may have experienced an other than temporary decline in value below their carrying value.
If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value and is considered an other than temporary decline, the carrying value is written down
to its estimated fair value and the resulting impairment is recorded in the consolidated statement of income (loss).
Debt issuance costs
Debt issuance costs, including fees, commissions and legal expenses, are deferred and presented as other non-current assets. Debt issuance
costs of revolving credit facilities are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant facility. Debt issuance costs of term loans
are amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the relevant loan. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in
interest expense.
Derivative instruments
All derivative instruments are initially recorded at cost as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and
subsequently remeasured to fair value, regardless of the purpose or intent for holding the derivative. The method of recognizing the resulting
gain or loss is dependent on whether the derivative contract is designed to hedge a specific risk and whether the contract qualifies for hedge
accounting. The Company generally does not apply hedge accounting to its derivative instruments, except for certain foreign exchange
currency contracts (See Note 15).
When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the Company formally documents the relationship between the derivative and the
hedged item. This documentation includes the strategy and risk management objective for undertaking the hedge and the method that will be
used to assess the effectiveness of the hedge. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized immediately in earnings, as are any gains and losses
on the derivative that are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The Company does not apply hedge accounting if it is
determined that the hedge was not effective or will no longer be effective, the derivative was sold or exercised, or the hedged item was sold or
repaid.

TEEKAY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share data)
For derivative financial instruments designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the effective portion of the
derivative financial instruments are initially recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in total equity. In the
periods when the hedged items affect earnings, the associated fair value changes on the hedging derivatives are transferred from total equity to
the corresponding earnings line item in the consolidated statement of income (loss). The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the
derivative financial instruments is immediately recognized in earnings item in the consolidated statement of income (loss). If a cash flow hedge
is terminated and the originally hedged item is still considered possible of occurring, the gains and losses initially recognized in total equity
remain there until the hedged item impacts earnings, at which point they are transferred to the corresponding earnings line item (e.g. general
and administrative expense) item in the consolidated statement of income (loss). If the hedged items are no longer possible of occurring,
amounts recognized in total equity are immediately transferred to the earnings item in the consolidated statement of income (loss).
For derivative financial instruments that are not designated or that do not qualify as hedges under FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging,
the changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments are recognized in earnings. Gains and losses from the Company’s non-
designated interest rate swaps related to long-term debt, capital lease obligations, restricted cash deposits, non-designated bunker fuel swap
contracts and forward freight agreements, and non-designated foreign exchange currency forward contracts are recorded in realized and
unrealized gain (loss) on non-designated derivative instruments. Gains and losses from the Company’s hedge accounted foreign currency
forward contracts are recorded primarily in vessel operating expenses and general and administrative expense. Gains and losses from the
Company’s non-designated cross currency swap are recorded in foreign currency exchange (loss) gain in the consolidated statements of
income (loss).
Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment
indicators arise. A fair value approach is used to identify potential goodwill impairment and, when necessary, measure the amount of
impairment. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of reporting units, unless there is a readily
determinable fair market value. Reporting units may be operating segments as a whole or an operation one level below an operating segment,
referred to as a component. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Intangible assets with finite lives are
assessed for impairment when and if impairment indicators exist. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible asset
is not recoverable and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value.
The Company’s intangible assets consist primarily of acquired time-charter contracts, contracts of affreightment, vessel purchase options, and
a Suezmax tanker pool agreement. The value ascribed to the time-charter contracts and contracts of affreightment are being amortized over
the life of the associated contract, with the amount amortized each year being weighted based on the projected revenue to be earned under the
contracts. The value ascribed to the Suezmax tanker pool agreement is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the
agreement.
Asset retirement obligation
The Company has an asset retirement obligation (or ARO) relating to the sub-sea production facility associated with the Petrojarl Banff FPSO
unit operating in the North Sea. This obligation generally involves restoration of the environment surrounding the facility and removal and
disposal of all production equipment. This obligation is expected to be settled at the end of the contract under which the FPSO unit currently
operates, which is anticipated no later than 2014. The ARO will be covered in part by contractual payments from FPSO contract counterparties.
The Company records the fair value of an ARO as a liability in the period when the obligation arises. The fair value of the ARO is measured
using expected future cash outflows discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. When the liability is recorded, the
Company capitalizes the cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related equipment. Each period, the liability is increased for the change
in its present value, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Changes in the amount or timing of the
estimated ARO are recorded as an adjustment to the related asset and liability. As at December 31, 2010, the ARO and associated receivable
which is recorded in other non-current assets from third parties were $23.0 million and $6.8 million, respectively (2009 - $22.1 million and $6.5
million, respectively).
Repurchase of common stock
The Company accounts for repurchases of common stock by decreasing common stock by the par value of the stock repurchased. In addition,
the excess of the repurchase price over the par value is allocated between additional paid in capital and retained earnings. The amount
allocated to additional paid in capital is the pro-rata share of the capital paid in and the balance is allocated to retained earnings.
Issuance of shares or units by subsidiaries
The Company accounts for dilution gains or losses from the issuance of shares or units by its subsidiaries as an adjustment to retained
earnings.
Share-based compensation
The Company grants stock options, restricted stock units, performance share units and restricted stock awards as incentive-based
compensation to certain employees and directors. The Company measures the cost of such awards using the grant date fair value of the award
and recognizes that cost, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which generally equals the vesting period. For stock-
based compensation awards subject to graded vesting, the Company calculates the value for the award as if it was one single award with one
expected life and amortizes the calculated expense for the entire award on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award.
Compensation cost for awards with performance conditions is recognized when it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.
The compensation cost of the Company’s stock-based compensation awards are substantially reflected in general and administrative expense.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share data)
In 2005, the Company adopted the Vision Incentive Plan (or the VIP) to reward exceptional corporate performance and shareholder returns.
This plan was designed to result in an award pool for senior management based on the following two measures: (a) economic profit from 2005
to 2010; and (b) market value added from 2001 to 2010. In 2008, an interim distribution was made to certain participants with a value of $13.3
million, paid in March 2008 in restricted stock units, with vesting of the interim distribution in three equal amounts on November 2008,
November 2009 and November 2010. In September 2009, 187,400 restricted stock units, with a two-year bullet vesting, were granted as the
June 2009 New Participants Reserve Pool allocation under the VIP. The Plan terminated on December 31, 2010 and no final award was
granted to participants. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded an expense (recovery) from the VIP of $2.4 million
($0.6 million – 2009 and $(23.6) million – 2008), which is included in general and administrative expense. As at December 31, 2010 and 2009,
there was no VIP liability.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the anticipated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets
and liabilities using the applicable jurisdictional tax rates. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than
not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Recognition of uncertain tax positions is dependent upon whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a
tax return will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits
of the position. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it is measured to determine the amount of benefit to
recognize in the financial statements based on GAAP guidance. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax
positions in income tax expense.
The Company believes that it and its subsidiaries are not subject to taxation under the laws of the Republic of The Marshall Islands or
Bermuda, or that distributions by its subsidiaries to the Company will be subject to any taxes under the laws of such countries, and that it
qualifies for the Section 883 exemption under U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income
As at December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income consisted of the following
components:
Unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments
Pension adjustments, net of tax recoveries of $728
(2009 – $925, 2008 – $3,585)
Unrealized gain on available for sale marketable securities

The Company has several defined contribution pension plans covering the majority of its employees. Pension costs associated with the
Company’s required contributions under its defined contribution pension plans are based on a percentage of employees’ salaries and are
charged to earnings in the year incurred. The Company also has a number of defined benefit pension plans covering certain of its employees.
The Company accrues the costs and related obligations associated with its defined benefit pension plans based on actuarial computations
using the projected benefits obligation method and management’s best estimates of expected plan investment performance, salary escalation,
and other relevant factors. For the purpose of calculating the expected return on plan assets, those assets are valued at fair value. The
overfunded or underfunded status of the defined benefit pension plans are recognized as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
The Company recognizes as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) the gains or losses that arise during a period but that are not
recognized as part of net periodic benefit costs.
Earnings per common share
The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The
computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the exercise of all dilutive stock options and restricted stock awards using the treasury
stock method.

Adoption of new accounting pronouncements
In January 2010, the Company adopted an amendment to Financial Accounting Standards Board (or FASB) Accounting Standards Codification
(or ASC) 810, Consolidations that eliminates certain exceptions to consolidating qualifying special-purpose entities, contains new criteria for
determining the primary beneficiary, and increases the frequency of required reassessments to determine whether a company is the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity. This amendment also contains a new requirement that any term, transaction, or arrangement that does
not have a substantive effect on an entity’s status as a variable interest entity, a company’s power over a variable interest entity, or a
company’s obligation to absorb losses or its right to receive benefits of an entity must be disregarded. The elimination of the qualifying special-
purpose entity concept and its consolidation exceptions means more entities will be subject to consolidation assessments and reassessments.
During February 2010, the scope of the revised standard was modified to indefinitely exclude certain entities from the requirement to be
assessed for consolidation. The adoption of this amendment did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to FASB ASC 310, Receivables, that requires companies to provide more information in their
disclosures about the credit quality of their financing receivables and the credit reserves held against them. The Company adopted this
amendment and such disclosure is included in Note 1.
2. Segment Reporting
The Company is primarily engaged in the international marine transportation of crude oil and clean petroleum products through the operation of
its tankers, and of LNG and LPG through the operation of its tankers and LNG and LPG carriers, and in the offshore processing and storage of
crude oil. The Company’s revenues are earned in international markets.
The Company has five operating segments and four reportable segments: its shuttle tanker and FSO segment (or Teekay Navion Shuttle
Tankers and Offshore), its floating production, storage and offloading (or FPSO) segment (or Teekay Petrojarl), its liquefied gas segment (or
Teekay Gas Services) and its conventional tanker segment (or Teekay Tanker Services). The Company’s shuttle tanker and FSO segment
consists of shuttle tankers and FSO units. The Company’s FPSO segment consists of FPSO units and other vessels used to service its FPSO
contracts. The Company’s liquefied gas segment consists of LNG and LPG carriers. The Company’s conventional tanker segment consists of
conventional crude oil and product tankers that: are subject to long-term, fixed-rate time-charter contracts, which have an original term of one
year or more; operate in the spot tanker market; or are subject to time-charters or contracts of affreightment that are priced on a spot-market
basis or are short-term, fixed-rate contracts, which have an original term of less than one year. Segment results are evaluated based on income
from vessel operations. The accounting policies applied to the reportable segments is the same as those used in the preparation of the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisition of Additional 35.3% of Teekay Petrojarl ASA
As of October 1, 2006, the Company acquired a 64.7% interest in Petrojarl ASA (subsequently renamed Teekay Petrojarl AS, or Teekay
Petrojarl). In June and July 2008, the Company acquired the remaining 35.3% interest (26.5 million common shares) in Teekay Petrojarl for a
total purchase price of $304.9 million. This remaining interest was paid in cash. As a result of these transactions, the Company owns 100% of
Teekay Petrojarl. The acquisition of the remaining 35.3% interest has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, based
upon estimates of fair value. As of the date of the acquisition of the non-controlling interest in Teekay Petrojarl, the historical cost basis of the
non-controlling interest was reduced to the extent of the percentage interest sold and the assets and liabilities of Teekay Petrojarl were
adjusted to fair value, for the share Teekay Petrojarl acquired. The difference between these adjustments and the purchase price was allocated
to goodwill.

Teekay Petrojarl:

On July 16, 2010, the Company’s subsidiary Teekay Tankers Ltd. (or Teekay Tankers) acquired two term loans with a total principal amount
outstanding of $115.0 million for a total cost of $115.6 million (the Loans). The Loans bear interest at an annual interest rate of 9% per annum
and includes a repayment premium feature which provides a total investment yield of approximately 10% per annum. As at December 31, 2010
and 2009, $1.8 million and $nil, respectively, were recorded as accounts receivable from the investment in these term loans. The 9% interest
income is received in quarterly installments and the Loans and repayment premium are payable in full at maturity in July 2013 where the
repayment premium of 3% is calculated on the Loan outstanding at the time of maturity. As at December 31, 2010 and 2009, the repayment
premium included in the principal balance was $0.5 million and $nil, respectively. The interest income is included in revenues in the
consolidated statements of income (loss). The Loans are collateralized by first-priority mortgages on two 2010-built Very Large Crude Carriers
(or VLCCs) owned by a ship-owner based in Asia, together with other related collateral. The Loans may be repaid prior to maturity, at the
option of the borrower.

In connection with Teekay LNG’s initial public offering in May 2005, Teekay entered into an omnibus agreement with Teekay LNG, Teekay
LNG’s general partner and others governing, among other things, when the Company and Teekay LNG may compete with each other and to
provide the applicable parties certain rights of first offer on LNG carriers and Suezmax tankers. In December 2006, the omnibus agreement
was amended in connection with Teekay Offshore’s initial public offering to govern, among other things, when the Company, Teekay LNG and
Teekay Offshore may compete with each other and to provide the applicable parties certain rights of first offer on LNG carriers, oil tankers,
shuttle tankers, FSO units and FPSO units.
Teekay Tankers is a Marshall Islands corporation formed by the Company to provide international marine transportation of crude oil. The
Company owns 31% of the capital stock of Teekay Tankers, including Teekay Tankers' outstanding shares of Class B common stock, which
entitle the holders to five votes per share, subject to a 49% aggregate Class B Common Stock voting power maximum. Teekay Tankers initially
owned a fleet of nine double-hull Aframax-class oil tankers, which it acquired from the Company with net proceeds of its initial public offering
and which a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company manages under a mix of spot-market trading and short- or medium-term fixed-rate time-
charter contracts. In addition, the Company had offered to Teekay Tankers the opportunity to purchase up to four of its existing Suezmax-class
oil tankers, of which all four were sold to Teekay Tankers between April 2008 and October 2010.
Teekay Offshore is a Marshall Islands limited partnership formed by the Company as part of its strategy to expand its operations in the offshore
oil marine transportation, production, processing and storage sectors. As of December 31, 2010, Teekay Offshore owned 51% of Teekay
Offshore Operating L.P. (or OPCO), including an additional 25% limited partner interest it acquired from Teekay with net proceeds of its 2008
public offering and its 0.01% general partner interest. OPCO owns and operates a fleet of 33 shuttle tankers (including six chartered-in vessels
and five vessels owned by 50% owned joint ventures), four FSO vessels, nine conventional oil tankers, and two lightering vessels. Teekay
Offshore also owns through wholly-owned subsidiaries two additional shuttle tankers (including one through a 50%-owned joint venture), two
FSO units and two FPSO units. All of Teekay Offshore’s and OPCO’s vessels operate under long-term, fixed-rate contracts. As of December
31, 2010, Teekay directly owned the remaining 49% of OPCO and 28.3% of Teekay Offshore, including its 2% general partner interest. As a
result, Teekay effectively owned 63.4% of OPCO. Teekay Offshore also has rights to participate in certain FPSO opportunities involving Teekay
Petrojarl. See Note 25(d) to these consolidated financial statements for information relating to Teekay’s sale in March 2011 of its remaining
49% interest in OPCO to Teekay Offshore for a combination of cash and Teekay Offshore common units.
Teekay LNG is a Marshall Islands limited partnership formed by the Company as part of its strategy to expand its operations in the LNG
shipping sector. Teekay LNG provides LNG, LPG and crude oil marine transportation services under long-term, fixed-rate contracts with major
energy and utility companies through its fleet of LNG and LPG carriers and Suezmax tankers. As of December 31, 2010, Teekay owned a
46.8% interest in Teekay LNG, including common units and its 2% general partner interest.
6. Goodwill, Intangible Assets and In-Process Revenue Contracts
Goodwill
The carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, for the Company’s reportable segments are as follows:

During 2008, management concluded that the carrying value of goodwill in the FPSO segment exceeded its fair value by at least $334.2 million
as of December 31, 2008. As a result, an impairment loss of $334.2 million was recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of
income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2008. Fair value was estimated by management using a discounted cash flow model that
estimates fair value based upon estimated future cash flows discounted to their present value using the Company’s estimated weighted
average cost of capital. The fair value may vary depending on the assumptions and estimated used, most significantly the discount rate
applied.

During 2010, the Company recognized $31.7 million in write-downs of three vessel purchase options and certain in-charter customer contracts.
The vessel purchase options and in-charter contracts either expired unexercised or were unlikely to be exercised by the Company. Aggregate
amortization expense of intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2010, was $26.2 million (2009 - $34.1 million, 2008 - $45.0 million),
which is included in depreciation and amortization. Amortization of intangible assets for the five years following 2010 is expected to be $18.3
million (2011), $16.1 million (2012), $14.2 million (2013), $13.2 million (2014), $12.1 million (2015) and $82.0 million (thereafter).
During 2009, the Company recognized a $16.1 million impairment of other intangible assets due to lower fair value of certain bareboat
contracts compared to carrying values, expired time-charter hire contracts and write-down of vessel purchase options. During 2008, the
Company recognized a $9.8 million impairment of other intangible assets due to lower fair value of certain bareboat contracts compared to
carrying values.
The write-downs are included in loss (gain) on sale of vessels and equipment, net of write-downs of intangible assets and vessels and
equipment, on the consolidated statements of income (loss) and within the Company’s conventional tanker segment.
In-Process Revenue Contracts
As part of the Company’s previous acquisitions of Petrojarl ASA (subsequently renamed Teekay Petrojarl AS, or Teekay Petrojarl) and 50% of
OMI Corporation (or OMI), the Company assumed certain FPSO service contracts and time charter-out contracts with terms that were less
favorable than the then prevailing market terms. The Company has recognized a liability based on the estimated fair value of these contracts.
The Company is amortizing this liability over the estimated remaining terms of the contracts on a weighted basis based on the projected
revenue to be earned under the contracts. During 2010, the Company increased the amortization term due to operating contract amendments
for two FPSO units which resulted in a decrease in amortization of in-process revenue contracts during 2010 of $10.5 million.
Amortization of in-process revenue contracts for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $48.3 million (2009 - $71.5 million), which is included
in revenues on the consolidated statements of income (loss). Amortization for the five years following 2010 is expected to be $43.5 million
(2011), $41.1 million (2012), $37.7million (2013), $26.3 million (2014), $5.9 million (2015) and $41.6 million (thereafter).

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had 15 long-term revolving credit facilities (or the Revolvers) available, which, as at such date,
provided for aggregate borrowings of up to $3.3 billion, of which $1.6 billion was undrawn. Interest payments are based on LIBOR plus
margins; at December 31, 2010, the margins ranged between 0.45% and 3.25% (2009 – 0.45% and 3.25%). At December 31, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, the three-month LIBOR was 0.30% and 0.25%, respectively. The total amount available under the Revolvers reduces by
$243.4 million (2011), $353.3 million (2012), $760.2 million (2013), $789.1 million (2014), $226.4 million (2015) and $930.4 million (thereafter).
The Revolvers are collateralized by first-priority mortgages granted on 64 of the Company’s vessels, together with other related security, and
include a guarantee from Teekay or its subsidiaries for all outstanding amounts.
In January 2010, the Company completed a public offering of senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2020 (or the 8.5% Notes) with a
principal amount of $450 million. The 8.5% Notes were sold at a price equal to 99.181% of par and the discount is accreted using the effective
interest rate of 8.625% per year. The Company capitalized issuance costs of $9.4 million, which is recorded in other non-current assets in the
consolidated balance sheet and is amortized to interest expense over the term of the senior unsecured notes. The 8.5% Notes and the 8.875%
senior unsecured notes due July 15, 2011 (or the 8.875% Notes) rank equally in right of payment with all of Teekay’s existing and future senior
unsecured debt and senior to any future subordinated debt of Teekay. The 8.5% Notes and 8.875% Notes are not guaranteed by any of
Teekay’s subsidiaries and effectively rank behind all existing and future secured debt of Teekay and other liabilities, secured and unsecured, of
its subsidiaries. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company repurchased a principal amount of $160.5 million (2009 - $17.4
million) of the 8.875% Notes, using a portion of the proceeds of the 8.5% Notes offering, and recognized a loss on repurchase of $12.6 million
(2009 - $0.6 million loss, 2008 - $3.0 million gain).
The Company may redeem the 8.5% Notes in whole or in part at any time before their maturity date at a redemption price equal to the greater
of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 8.5% Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled
payments of principal and interest on the 8.5% Notes to be redeemed (excluding accrued interest) discounted to the redemption date on a
semi-annual basis, at the treasury yield plus 50 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In addition, at any time
or from time to time prior to January 15, 2013, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 8.5%
Notes issued under the indenture with the net cash proceeds of one or more qualified equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 108.5% of
the principal amount of the 8.5% Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, provided certain
conditions are met. No such redemptions have been made as at December 31, 2010.
In November 2010, Teekay Offshore issued NOK 600 million in senior unsecured bonds that mature in November 2013 in the Norwegian bond
market. Teekay Offshore capitalized issuance costs of $1.3 million, which is recorded in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance
sheet and is amortized over the term of the senior unsecured bonds. Teekay Offshore’s obligations under the Bond Agreement are guaranteed
by OPCO. Teekay Offshore has applied for listing of the bonds on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Interest payments on the senior unsecured bonds
are based on NIBOR plus a margin of 4.75%. Teekay Offshore has entered into a cross currency swap arrangement to swap the interest
payments from NIBOR into LIBOR and to lock in the US dollar amount of principal upon maturity (See Note 15).
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had 15 U.S. Dollar-denominated term loans outstanding, which totaled $1.8 billion (December 31,
2009 – $1.8 billion). Certain of the term loans with a total outstanding principal balance of $417.4 million, as at December 31, 2010 (December
31, 2009 - $480.1 million) bear interest at a weighted-average fixed rate of 5.3% (December 31, 2009 – 5.2%). Interest payments on the
remaining term loans are based on LIBOR plus a margin. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the margins ranged between 0.3% and 3.25%. At
December 31, 2010 and 2009, the three-month LIBOR was 0.30% and 0.25%, respectively. The term loan payments are made in quarterly or
semi-annual payments commencing three or six months after delivery of each newbuilding vessel financed thereby, and 14 of the term loans
have balloon or bullet repayments due at maturity. The term loans are collateralized by first-priority mortgages on 28 (December 31, 2009 – 30)
of the Company’s vessels, together with certain other security. In addition, at December 31, 2010, all but $122.5 million (December 31, 2009 -
$134.3 million) of the outstanding term loans were guaranteed by Teekay or its subsidiaries.
The Company has two Euro-denominated term loans outstanding, which, as at December 31, 2010, totaled 278.9 million Euros ($373.3
million). The Company repays the loans with funds generated by two Euro-denominated long-term time-charter contracts. Interest payments on
the loans are based on EURIBOR plus a margin. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the margins ranged between 0.6% and 0.66% and the one-
month EURIBOR at December 31, 2010, was 0.78% (December 31, 2009 – 0.45%). The Euro-denominated term loans reduce in monthly
payments with varying maturities through 2023 and are collateralized by first-priority mortgages on two of the Company’s vessels, together with
certain other security, and are guaranteed by a subsidiary of Teekay.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share data)
Both Euro-denominated term loans are revalued at the end of each period using the then prevailing Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rate. Due in part
to this revaluation, the Company recognized an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $32.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2010
(2009 - $20.9 million loss, 2008, $24.7 million gain).
The Company has one U.S. Dollar-denominated loan outstanding owing to a joint venture partner, which, as at December 31, 2010, totaled
$13.8 million (2009 – two loans totaling $16.4 million), including accrued interest. Interest payments on the loan, which are based on a fixed
interest rate of 4.84%, commenced in February 2008. This loan is repayable on demand no earlier than February 27, 2027.
The weighted-average effective interest rate on the Company’s long-term aggregate debt as at December 31, 2010, was 2.3% (December 31,
2009 – 2.0%). This rate does not include the effect of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements (see Note 15).
Among other matters, the Company’s long-term debt agreements generally provide for maintenance of certain vessel market value-to-loan
ratios and minimum consolidated financial covenants. Certain loan agreements require that a minimum level of free cash be maintained and as
at December 31, 2010 and 2009, this amount was $100.0 million. Certain of the loan agreements also require that the Company maintain an
aggregate level of free liquidity and undrawn revolving credit lines with at least six months to maturity, of at least 7.5% of total debt. As at
December 31, 2010, this amount was $236.5 million (December 31, 2009 - $230.3 million).
The aggregate annual long-term debt principal repayments required to be made by the Company subsequent to December 31, 2010, are
$276.5 million (2011), $494.4 million (2012), $406.9 million (2013), $883.4 million (2014), $272.1million (2015) and $2.1 billion (thereafter).
As at December 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the credit facilities and long-term debt.
9. Operating and Direct Financing Leases
Charters-in
As at December 31, 2010, minimum commitments to be incurred by the Company under vessel operating leases by which the Company
charters-in vessels were approximately $395.7 million, comprised of $173.5 million (2011), $102.5 million (2012), $62.6 million (2013), $22.9
million (2014), $15.8 million (2015) and $18.4 million (thereafter). The Company recognizes the expense from these charters, which is included
in time-charter hire expense, on a straight-line basis over the firm period of the charters.
Charters-out
Time-charters and bareboat charters of the Company’s vessels to third parties (except as noted below) are accounted for as operating leases.
Certain of these charters provide the Company with the option to acquire the vessel or the option to extend the charter. As at December 31,
2010, minimum scheduled future revenues to be received by the Company on time-charters and bareboat charters then in place were
approximately $7.4 billion, comprised of $1.2 billion (2011), $0.9 billion (2012), $0.7 billion (2013), $0.6 billion (2014), $0.6 billion (2015) and
$3.4 billion (thereafter). The carrying amount of the vessels employed on operating leases at December 31, 2010, was $5.5 billion (2009 - $5.3
billion). The cost and accumulated depreciation of the vessels on time charter as at December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $7.4 billion, $1.9 billion,
and $6.8 billion, $1.5 billion, respectively.
The minimum scheduled future revenues should not be construed to reflect total charter hire revenues for any of the years. In addition,
minimum scheduled future revenues have been reduced by estimated offhire time for period maintenance. The amounts may vary given
unscheduled future events such as vessel maintenance.
Operating Lease Obligations
Teekay Tangguh Subsidiary
On November 1, 2006, the Company’s subsidiary Teekay LNG entered into an agreement with Teekay to purchase Teekay’s 100% interest in
Teekay Tangguh Borrower LLC (or Teekay Tangguh), which owns a 70% interest in Teekay BLT Corporation (or Teekay Tangguh Subsidiary).
Teekay LNG ultimately acquired 99% of Teekay’s interest in Teekay Tangguh, essentially giving it a 69% interest in Teekay Tangguh
Subsidiary. As at December 31, 2010, the Teekay Tangguh Subsidiary was a party to operating leases whereby it is the lessor and is leasing
its two LNG carriers (or the Tangguh LNG Carriers) to a third party company (or Head Leases). The Teekay Tangguh Subsidiary is then leasing
back the LNG carriers from the same third party company (or Subleases). Under the terms of these leases, the third party company claims tax
depreciation on the capital expenditures it incurred to lease the vessels. As is typical in these leasing arrangements, tax and change of law
risks are assumed by the Teekay Tangguh Subsidiary. Lease payments under the Subleases are based on certain tax and financial
assumptions at the commencement of the leases. If assumptions prove to be incorrect, the third party company is entitled to increase the lease
payments under the Sublease to maintain its agreed after-tax margin. The Teekay Tangguh Subsidiary’s carrying amount of this tax
indemnification was $10.3 million at December 31, 2010, and is included as part of other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of the Company. The tax indemnification is for the duration of the lease contract with the third party plus the years it would take
for the lease payments to be statute barred, and ends in 2033. Although there is no maximum potential amount of future payments, the Teekay
Tangguh Subsidiary may terminate the lease arrangements on a voluntary basis at any time. If the lease arrangements terminate, the Teekay
Tangguh Subsidiary will be required to pay termination sums to the third party company sufficient to repay the third party company's investment
in the vessels and to compensate it for the tax effect of the terminations, including recapture of any tax depreciation. The Head Leases and the
Subleases have 20 year terms and are classified as operating leases. The Head Lease and the Sublease for the two Tangguh LNG Carriers
commenced in November 2008 and March 2009, respectively.

RasGas II LNG Carriers. As at December 31, 2010, the Company was a party, as lessee, to 30-year capital lease arrangements relating to
three LNG carriers (or the RasGas II LNG Carriers) that operate under time-charter contracts with Ras Laffan Liquefied Natural Gas Co.
Limited (II) (or RasGas II), a joint venture between Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil RasGas Inc., a subsidiary of ExxonMobil Corporation. The
Company has a 70% share in the leases for the RasGas II LNG Carriers.
Under the terms of the RasGas II LNG Carriers capital lease arrangements, the lessor claims tax depreciation on the capital expenditures it
incurred to acquire these vessels. As is typical in these leasing arrangements, tax and change of law risks are assumed by the lessee. Lease
payments under the lease arrangements are based on certain tax and financial assumptions at the commencement of the leases. If an
assumption proves to be incorrect, the lessor is entitled to increase the lease payments to maintain its agreed after-tax margin.
During 2008, the Company agreed under the terms of its tax lease indemnification guarantee to increase its capital lease payments for the
three RasGas II LNG Carriers to compensate the lessor for losses suffered as a result of changes in tax rates. The estimated increase in lease
payments is approximately $8.1 million over the term of the lease, with a carrying value of $7.7 million as at December 31, 2010. This amount
F - 21
TEEKAY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share data)
is included as part of other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company’s carrying amount of
the remaining tax indemnification guarantee as at December 31, 2010 is $8.9 million and is also included as part of other long-term liabilities in
the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The tax indemnification is for the duration of the lease contract with the third party plus the years it would take for the lease payments to be
statute barred, and ends in 2041. Although there is no maximum potential amount of future payments, the Company may terminate the lease
arrangements at any time. If the lease arrangements terminate, the Company will be required to pay termination sums to the lessor sufficient to
repay the lessor’s investment in the vessels and to compensate it for the tax-effect of the terminations, including recapture of any tax
depreciation.
At their inception, the weighted-average interest rate implicit in these leases was 5.2%. These capital leases are variable-rate capital leases. As
at December 31, 2010, the commitments under these capital leases approximated $1.0 billion, including imputed interest of $0.6 billion,
repayable as follows:
Year
2011
2012

2015
Thereafter
Commitment
$24.0 million
$24.0 million
$24.0 million
$24.0 million
$24.0 million
$905.1 million
As the payments in the next five years only cover a portion of the estimated interest expense, the lease obligation will continue to increase.
Starting in 2024, the lease payments will increase to cover both interest and principal to commence reduction of the principal portion of the
lease obligations.
Spanish-Flagged LNG Carrier. As at December 31, 2010, the Company was a party, as lessee, to a capital lease on one Spanish-Flagged LNG
carrier (the Spanish-Flagged Carrier), which is structured as a “Spanish tax lease”. Under the terms of the Spanish tax lease, which includes
the Company’s contractual right to full operation of the vessel pursuant to a bareboat charter, the Company will purchase the vessel at the end
of the lease term in December 2011. The purchase obligation has been fully funded with restricted cash deposits described below. At its
inception, the implicit interest rate was 5.8%. As at December 31, 2010, the commitments under this capital lease, including the purchase
obligation, approximated 64.8 million Euros ($86.8 million), including imputed interest of 3.6 million Euros ($4.9 million), repayable in 2011.
Suezmax Tankers. As at December 31, 2010, the Company was a party, as lessee, to capital leases on five Suezmax tankers. Under the terms
of the lease arrangements, the Company is required to purchase these vessels after the end of their respective lease terms in 2011 for a fixed
price. At the inception of these leases, the weighted-average interest rate implicit in these leases was 7.4%. These capital leases are variable-
rate capital leases; however, any change in the lease payments resulting from changes in interest rates is offset by a corresponding change in
the charter hire payments received by the Company. As at December 31, 2010, the remaining commitments under these capital leases,
including the purchase obligations, approximated $197.9 million, including imputed interest of $12.4 million, repayable in 2011.
FPSO Units. As at December 31, 2010, the Company was a party, as lessee, to capital leases on one FPSO unit, the Petrojarl Foinaven, and
the topside production equipment for another FPSO unit, the Petrojarl Banff. However, prior to being acquired by Teekay, Teekay Petrojarl
legally defeased its future charter obligations for these assets by making up-front, lump-sum payments to unrelated banks, which have
assumed Teekay Petrojarl’s liability for making the remaining periodic payments due under the long-term charters (or Defeased Rental
Payments) and termination payments under the leases.
The Defeased Rental Payments for the Petrojarl Foinaven were based on assumed Sterling LIBOR of 8% per annum. If actual interest rates
are greater than 8% per annum, the Company receives rental rebates; if actual interest rates are less than 8% per annum, the Company is
required to pay rentals in excess of the Defeased Rental Payments. For accounting purposes, this contract feature is an embedded derivative,
and has been separated from the host contract and is separately accounted for as a derivative instrument.
As is typical for these types of leasing arrangements, the Company has indemnified the lessors of the Petrojarl Foinaven for the tax
consequence resulting from changes in tax laws or interpretation of such laws or adverse rulings by authorities and for fluctuations in actual
interest rates from those assumed in the leases. The Company’s capital leases do not contain financial or restrictive covenants other than
those relating to operation and maintenance of the vessels.
Restricted Cash
Under the terms of the capital leases for the RasGas II LNG Carriers and the Spanish-Flagged LNG Carrier described above, the Company is
required to have on deposit with financial institutions an amount of cash that, together with interest earned on the deposits, will equal the
remaining amounts owing under the leases, including the obligations to purchase the Spanish-Flagged LNG Carrier at the end of the lease
period, where applicable. These cash deposits are restricted to being used for capital lease payments and have been fully funded primarily with
term loans (see Note 8).
As at December 31, 2010 and 2009, the amount of restricted cash on deposit for the three RasGas II LNG Carriers was $477.2 million and
$479.4 million, respectively. As at December 31, 2010 and 2009, the weighted-average interest rates earned on the deposits were 0.4%. These
rates do not reflect the effect of related interest rate swaps (see Note 15).

The Company also maintains restricted cash deposits relating to certain term loans and other obligations, which totaled $16.5 million and $15.1
million as at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
11. Fair Value Measurements
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments and other non-financial
assets.
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities - The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents
restricted cash, and marketable securities approximates their carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Vessels held for sale – The fair value of the Company’s vessels held for sale is based on selling prices of similar vessels and approximates
their carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Investment in term loans –The fair value of the Company’s investment in term loans is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis,
based on current rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. In addition, an assessment of the credit
worthiness of the borrower and the value of the collateral is taken into account when determining the fair value.
Loans to joint ventures and loans from joint venture partners – The fair value of the Company’s loans to joint ventures and loans from joint
venture partners approximates their carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Long-term debt – The fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate and variable-rate long-term debt is either based on quoted market prices or
estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on current rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities
and the current credit worthiness of the Company.
Derivative instruments – The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or
pay to terminate the agreements at the reporting date, taking into account, as applicable, fixed interest rates on interest rate swaps, current
interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and the current credit worthiness of both the Company and the derivative counterparties. The estimated
amount is the present value of future cash flows. The Company transacts all of its derivative instruments through investment-grade rated
financial institutions at the time of the transaction and requires no collateral from these institutions. For the Foinaven embedded derivative (see
Note 10), the calculation of the fair value takes into account the fixed rate in the contract, current interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
Given the current volatility in the credit markets, it is reasonably possible that the amounts recorded as derivative assets and liabilities could
vary by material amounts in the near term.
The Company categorizes its fair value estimates using a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value
hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value as follows:
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments and other non-financial assets and categorization using the fair value hierarchy
for those financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:

12. Capital Stock
The authorized capital stock of Teekay at December 31, 2010 and 2009, was 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, with a par value of $1 per
share, and 725,000,000 shares of Common Stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share. During 2010, the Company issued 0.6 million common
shares upon the exercise of stock options and restricted stock units and awards, and had share repurchases of 1.2 million common shares.
During 2009, the Company issued 0.2 million common shares upon the exercise of stock options, and had no share repurchases. As at
December 31, 2010, Teekay had issued 73,749,793 shares of Common Stock (2009 – 73,195,545) and no shares of Preferred Stock issued.
As at December 31, 2010, Teekay had 72,012,843 shares of Common Stock outstanding (2009 – 72,694,345).
Dividends may be declared and paid out of surplus only, but if there is no surplus, dividends may be declared or paid out of the net profits for
the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and for the preceding fiscal year. Surplus is the excess of the net assets of the company over
the aggregated par value of the issued shares of the Teekay. Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock
outstanding at the time, the holders of common stock are entitled to share equally in any dividends that the board of directors may declare from
time to time out of funds legally available for dividends.
During 2008, Teekay announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of shares of its Common Stock
in the open market, subject to cancellation upon approval by the Board of Directors. As at December 31, 2010, Teekay had repurchased
approximately 1.2 million shares of Common Stock for $40.1 million pursuant to such authorizations. The total remaining share repurchase
authorization at December 31, 2010, was $159.9 million.
On July 2, 2010, the Company amended and restated its Stockholder Rights Agreement (the Rights Agreement), which was originally adopted
by the Board of Directors in September 2000. In September 2000, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one common share purchase
right (a Right) for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock. These Rights continue to remain outstanding and will not be
exercisable and will trade with the shares of the Company’s common stock until after such time, if any, as a person or group becomes an
“acquiring person” as set forth in the amended Rights Agreement. A person or group will be deemed to be an “acquiring person,” and the
Rights generally will become exercisable, if a person or group acquires 20% or more of the Company’s common stock, or if a person or group
commences a tender offer that could result in that person or group owning more than 20% of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain
higher thresholds for existing stockholders that currently own in excess of 15% of the Company’s common stock. Once exercisable, each Right
held by a person other than the “acquiring person” would entitle the holder to purchase, at the then-current exercise price, a number of shares
of common stock of the Company having a value of twice the exercise price of the Right. In addition, if the Company is acquired in a merger or
other business combination transaction after any such event, each holder of a Right would then be entitled to purchase, at the then-current
exercise price, shares of the acquiring company’s common stock having a value of twice the exercise price of the Right. The amended Rights
Agreement will expire on July 1, 2020, unless the expiry date is extended or the Rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during 2010 was $8.16 per option (2009 - $3.74, 2008 - $9.31). The fair value of
each option granted was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted-average
assumptions were used in computing the fair value of the options granted: expected volatility of 52.7% in 2010, 45% in 2009 and 30% in 2008;
expected life of four years; dividend yield of 3.3% in 2010, 2.3% in 2009 and 2.5% in 2008; risk-free interest rate of 2.6% in 2010, 2.0% in 2009,
and 2.4% in 2008; and estimated forfeiture rate of 9.8% in 2010, 9.0% in 2009 and 9.0% in 2008. The expected life of the options granted was
estimated using the historical exercise behavior of employees. The expected volatility was generally based on historical volatility as calculated
using historical data during the five years prior to the grant date.
The Company grants restricted stock units and performance share units to certain eligible officers, employees and directors of the Company.
Each restricted stock unit and performance share unit is equivalent in value to one share of the Company’s common stock plus reinvested
dividends from the grant date to the vesting date. The restricted stock units vest equally over two or three years from the grant date and the
performance share units vest three years from the grant date. Upon vesting, the value of the restricted stock units and performance share units
are paid to each grantee in the form of shares. The number of performance share units that vest will range from zero to three times the original
number granted, based on certain performance and market conditions.
In February 2010, the Company modified settlement terms for its then outstanding restricted stock units, such that all restricted stock units will
be paid in the form of shares. This modification decreased accrued liabilities by $4.0 million, decreased other long-term liabilities by $2.0
million, and increased additional paid-in capital by $6.0 million.
During 2010, the Company granted 263,620 restricted stock units with a fair value of $6.4 million and 87,054 performance share units with a
fair value of $3.5 million, based on the quoted market price and a Monte Carlo valuation model, to certain of the Company’s employees and
directors. During 2010, 227,165 restricted stock units with a market value of $4.9 million vested and that amount was paid to grantees by
issuing 148,518 shares of common stock. During 2009, the Company granted 568,342 restricted stock units with a fair value of $8.2 million
based on the quoted market price, to certain of the Company’s employees and directors, of which 187,400 were issued pursuant to the
Company’s VIP plan. During 2009, 102,300 restricted stock units with a market value of $2.5 million vested and that amount was paid to
grantees by issuing 18,318 shares of common stock and $1.9 million in cash. During 2008, 101,000 restricted stock units with a market value of
$2.0 million vested and that amount was paid to grantees by issuing 42,099 shares of common stock and $0.5 million in cash. For the year
ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded an expense (recovery) of $4.8 million (2009 - $4.0 million, 2008 - $(0.7) million) related to
the restricted stock units.
During 2010, the Company also granted 27,028 (2009 – 47,570 and 2008 – 10,500) shares of restricted stock awards with a fair value of $0.7
million, based on the quoted market price, to certain of the Company’s directors. The shares of restricted stock are issued when granted.
13. Related Party Transactions
As at December 31, 2010, Resolute Investments, Ltd. (or Resolute) owned 42.3% (2009 - 41.9%, 2008 - 42.0%) of the Company's outstanding
Common Stock. One of the Company's directors, Thomas Kuo-Yuen Hsu, is the President and a director of Resolute. Another of the

15. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company uses derivatives to manage certain risks in accordance with its overall risk management policies.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company economically hedges portions of its forecasted expenditures denominated in foreign currencies with foreign currency forward
contracts. Certain foreign currency forward contracts are designated, for accounting purposes, as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign
currency expenditures.
As at December 31, 2010, the Company was committed to the following foreign currency forward contracts:

The Company incurs interest expense on its Norwegian Kroner-denominated bonds. The Company has entered into a cross currency swap to
economically hedge the foreign exchange risk on the principal and interest. As at December 31, 2010, the Company was committed to one
cross currency swap with the notional amounts of NOK 600 million and $98.5 million, which exchanges a receipt of floating interest based on
NIBOR plus a margin of 4.75% with a payment of floating interest based on LIBOR plus a margin of 5.04%. In addition, the cross currency
swap locks in the transfer of principal to $98.5 million upon maturity in exchange for NOK 600 million. The fair value of the cross currency swap
agreement as at December 31, 2010 was $4.2 million.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements which exchange a receipt of floating interest for a payment of fixed interest to reduce
the Company’s exposure to interest rate variability on its outstanding floating-rate debt. In addition, the Company holds interest rate swaps
which exchange a payment of floating rate interest for a receipt of fixed interest in order to reduce the Company’s exposure to the variability of
interest income on its restricted cash deposits. The Company has not designated its interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges for
accounting purposes.
As at December 31, 2010, the Company was committed to the following interest rate swap agreements related to its LIBOR-based debt,
restricted cash deposits and EURIBOR-based debt, whereby certain of the Company's floating-rate debt and restricted cash deposits were

Spot Tanker Market Risk
In order to reduce variability in revenues from fluctuations in certain spot tanker market rates, from time to time the Company has entered into
forward freight agreements (or FFAs). FFAs involve contracts to move a theoretical volume of freight at fixed-rates, thus attempting to reduce
the Company’s exposure to spot tanker market rates. As at December 31, 2010, the Company had no FFAs commitments. As at December 31,
2009, the FFAs had an aggregate notional value of $30.5 million, which was an aggregate of both long and short positions, and a net fair value
liability of $0.5 million. The Company has not designated these contracts as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Net gains and losses
from FFAs are recorded within realized and unrealized gain (loss) on non-designated derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of
income (loss).
Commodity Price Risk
The Company enters into bunker fuel swap contracts relating to a portion of its bunker fuel expenditures. As at December 31, 2010, the
Company had no bunker fuel swap contract commitments. As at December 31, 2009, the Company was committed to contracts totalling 23,400
metric tonnes with a weighted-average price of $439.23 per tonne and a fair value asset of $0.6 million. These bunker fuel swap contracts
expired between January 2010 and December 2010. The Company had not designated these contracts as cash flow hedges for accounting
purposes. Net gains and losses from the bunker fuel swap contracts are recorded within realized and unrealized gain (loss) on non-designated
derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) of the cross currency swap are recognized in earnings and reported in foreign exchange gain (loss) in
the consolidated statements of income (loss). For the year ended December 31, 2010, an unrealized gain of $4.0 million and a realized gain of
$0.2 million have been recognized in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
See Note 25(a) to these consolidated financial statements for information relating to the amendment of certain interest rate swap agreements in
January and February 2011.
As at December 31, 2010, the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss included $2.3 million of unrealized gains on foreign currency
forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges. As at December 31, 2010, the Company estimated, based on then current foreign exchange
rates, that it would reclassify approximately $1.1 million of net gains on foreign currency forward contracts from accumulated other
comprehensive loss to earnings during the next 12 months. During 2010, the Company de-designated certain foreign currency forward
contracts that were designated as cash flow hedges and reclassified $0.6 million of net losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss to
earnings in the consolidated statement of income (loss).
The Company is exposed to credit loss to the extent the fair value represents an asset (see above) in the event of non-performance by the
counterparties to the foreign currency forward contracts, and cross currency and interest rate swap agreements; however, the Company does
not anticipate non-performance by any of the counterparties. In order to minimize counterparty risk, the Company only enters into derivative
transactions with counterparties that are rated A- or better by Standard & Poor’s or A3 or better by Moody’s at the time of the transaction. In
addition, to the extent possible and practical, interest rate swaps are entered into with different counterparties to reduce concentration risk.
16. Commitments and Contingencies
a) Vessels Under Construction
In October 2010, the Company signed a contract with Petroleo Brasileiro SA (or Petrobras) to provide a FPSO unit for the Tiro and Sidon fields
located in the Santos Basin offshore Brazil. The contract with Petrobras will be serviced by a newly converted FPSO unit, to be named the
Petrojarl Cidade de Itajai, which is currently under conversion from an existing Aframax tanker, for a total estimated cost of approximately $345
million, excluding capitalized interest. The new FPSO is scheduled to deliver in the second quarter of 2012. Upon delivery, the unit will
commence operations under a nine-year, fixed-rate time-charter contract to Petrobras with six additional one-year extension options.
As at December 31, 2010, the Company was committed to the construction of three LPG carriers, two shuttle tankers and the conversion of an
existing Aframax tanker to an FPSO unit (as described above), at a total cost of approximately $702.4 million, excluding capitalized interest.
The three LPG carriers are scheduled for delivery in 2011, the two shuttle tankers are scheduled for delivery between May 2011 and July 2011
and the FPSO unit is scheduled to be delivered in 2012. As at December 31, 2010, payments made towards these commitments totaled $177.6
million (excluding $17.8 million of capitalized interest and other miscellaneous construction costs), and long-term financing arrangements
existed for $214.7 million of the unpaid cost of these vessels. As at December 31, 2010, the remaining payments required to be made under
these newbuilding contracts are $461.7 million in 2011 and $63.1 million in 2012.
b) Joint Ventures
The Company has a 33% interest in a joint venture that will charter four newbuilding 160,400-cubic meter LNG carriers for a period of 20 years
to the Angola LNG Project, which is being developed by subsidiaries of Chevron Corporation, Sociedade Nacional de Combustiveis de Angola
EP, BP Plc, Total S.A. and ENI SpA. Final award of the charter was made in December 2007. The vessels will be chartered at fixed rates, with
F - 29

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share data)
inflation adjustments, commencing in 2011. The other members of the joint venture are Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and NYK Bulkship (Europe) Ltd.,
which hold 34% and 33% interests in the joint venture, respectively. In connection with this award, the joint venture has entered into
agreements with Samsung Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. to construct the four LNG carriers at a total cost of approximately $906.0 million (of which
the Company’s 33% portion is $299.0 million), excluding capitalized interest. As at December 31, 2010, payments made towards these
commitments by the joint venture company totaled $294.4 million (of which the Company’s 33% contribution was $97.2 million), excluding
capitalized interest and other miscellaneous construction costs. As at December 31, 2010, the remaining payments required to be made under
these contracts were $475.6 million (2011) and $135.9 million (2012), of which the Company’s share is 33% of these amounts. In accordance
with existing agreements, the Company is required to offer to its subsidiary Teekay LNG its 33% interest in these vessels and related charter
contracts, no later than 180 days before the scheduled delivery dates of the vessels. Deliveries of the vessels are scheduled between August
2011 and January 2012. In February 2011, the Company offered to Teekay LNG its 33% ownership interest in these vessels and related
charter contracts. The transaction was approved in March 2011 by the Board of Directors of Teekay LNG’s general partner and by its Conflicts
Committee. The Company has also provided certain guarantees in relation to the performance of the joint venture company. The fair value of
the guarantees was a liability of $1.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively, as at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and is included
as part of other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
On September 30, 2010, Teekay Tankers entered into a 50/50 joint venture arrangement (the Joint Venture) with Wah Kwong Maritime
Transport Holdings Limited (or Wah Kwong) to have a VLCC newbuilding constructed, managed and chartered to third parties. Teekay Tankers
has a 50% economic interest in the Joint Venture, which is jointly controlled by Teekay Tankers and Wah Kwong. The VLCC has an estimated
purchase price of approximately $98 million (of which the Company’s 50% portion is $49 million), excluding capitalized interest and other
miscellaneous construction costs. The vessel is expected to deliver during the second quarter of 2013. As at December 31, 2010, the
remaining payments required to be made under this newbuilding contract, including the Wah Kwong’s 50% share, was $nil (2011), $39.2 million
(2012) and $39.2 million (2013). As of December 31, 2010, the Joint Venture did not have any financing arrangements for these expenditures.
Teekay Tankers and Wah Kwong have each agreed to finance 50% of the costs to acquire the VLCC that are not financed with commercial
bank financing. As of December 31, 2010, Teekay Tankers had advanced $9.8 million to the Joint Venture and the amount is recorded in loans
to joint ventures in the consolidated balance sheet. A third party has agreed to time-charter the vessel for a term of five years at a daily rate and
has also agreed to pay the Joint Venture 50% of any additional amounts if the daily rate of any sub-charter earned by the third party exceeds a
certain threshold.
c) Legal Proceedings and Claims
The Company may, from time to time, be involved in legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company
believes that any adverse outcome of existing claims, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material effect on its financial position,
results of operations or cash flows, when taking into account its insurance coverage and indemnifications from charterers.
d) Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest
During year ended December 31, 2010, an unrelated party contributed a shuttle tanker with a value of $35.0 million to a subsidiary of Teekay
Offshore in exchange for a 33% equity interest in the subsidiary. The equity issuance resulted in a dilution loss of $7.4 million. The non-
controlling interest owner of Teekay Offshore’s 67% owned subsidiary holds a put option which, if exercised, would obligate Teekay Offshore to
purchase the non-controlling interest owner’s 33% share in the entity for cash in accordance with a defined formula. The redeemable non-
controlling interest is subject to remeasurement if the formulaic redemption amount exceeds the carrying value. No remeasurement was
required as at December 31, 2010.
e) Other
The Company enters into indemnification agreements with certain officers and directors. In addition, the Company enters into other
indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. The maximum potential amount of future payments required under these
indemnification agreements is unlimited. However, the Company maintains what it believes is appropriate liability insurance that reduces its
exposure and enables the Company to recover future amounts paid up to the maximum amount of the insurance coverage, less any deductible
amounts pursuant to the terms of the respective policies, the amounts of which are not considered material.

c) On December 31, 2008, Teekay Nakilat (III) and QGTC Nakilat (1643-6) Holdings Corporation (or QGTC 3) assigned their interest rate
swap obligations to the RasGas 3 Joint Venture for no consideration. This transaction was treated as a non-cash transaction in the
Company's consolidated statement of cash flows.
d) On December 31, 2008, Teekay Nakilat (III) and QGTC 3 assigned their external long-term debt of $867.5 million and related deferred
debt issuance costs of $4.1 million to the RasGas 3 Joint Venture. As a result of this transaction, the Company’s long-term debt decreased
by $867.5 million and other assets decreased by $4.1 million offset by a decrease in the Company’s advances to the RasGas 3 Joint
Venture. These transactions were treated as non-cash transactions in the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows.
e) During the year ended December 31, 2010, an unrelated party contributed a shuttle tanker with a value of $35.0 million to a subsidiary of
the Company in exchange for a 33% equity interest in the subsidiary as described in Note 16(d) to these consolidated financial statements.
This contribution has been treated as a non-cash transaction in the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows.
18. Vessel Sales and Write-downs on Vessels and Equipment
a) Vessel Sales
In February 2010, the Company sold a 1992-built Aframax tanker, which was presented on the December 31, 2009 consolidated balance sheet
as vessel held for sale. The Company realized a loss of $0.2 million as a result of this vessel sale. In April 2010, the Company sold a 1995-built
Aframax tanker for $17.3 million, which approximated the vessel net book value. In August 2010, the Company sold a 1995-built Aframax
tanker and a 1990-built Product tanker for $17.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The Company realized a loss of $1.9 million as a result of
the sale of the Aframax tanker. The proceeds from the sale of the Product tanker approximated the vessel net book value. These vessels were
part of the Company’s conventional tanker segment. In November 2010, the Company sold a 2000-built LPG tanker for $21.6 million. The
Company realized a gain of $4.3 million as a result of the sale of this vessel. The vessel was part of the Company’s liquefied gas segment.
In January and February 2009, the Company sold a 2009-built product tanker and a 1993-built Aframax tanker, respectively, through a sale-
leaseback agreement. The Company realized a gain of $17.7 million as a result of these transactions, of which $17.6 million was deferred and
will be amortized over the four-year term of the bareboat charter leaseback. In May 2009, the Company sold a 2007-built product tanker and a
2005-built product tanker and realized a gain of $29.8 million as a result of these transactions. In July and September 2009, the Company sold
a 1992-built Aframax tanker and a 1989-built product tanker, respectively. These two vessels were written-down by $7.1 million and $4.0
million, respectively, to their fair market value less costs to sell. The vessels sold in 2009 were part of the Company’s conventional tanker
segment.
During 2008, the Company sold three Handy-size product tankers, a medium-range product tanker, an Aframax tanker, and a Suezmax tanker.
The vessels sold in 2008 were part of the Company’s conventional tanker segment. As a result of these sales, the Company realized a gain of
$53.7 million. In addition, the Company sold its 50% interest in the Swift Product Tanker Pool, which included the Company’s interest in its ten
in-chartered intermediate product tankers and realized a gain of $44.4 million.
b) Vessels and Equipment Write-downs
The Company’s consolidated statements of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2010 include a total write-down of $19.4 million for
impairment of certain shuttle tanker equipment and one 1992-built shuttle tanker, as both the shuttle equipment and shuttle tanker carrying
values exceeded their estimated fair values using Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Due to economic developments, it was determined in the
third quarter of 2010 that certain shuttle tanker equipment may not generate the future cash flows that were anticipated when originally
purchased. The shuttle equipment carrying value of $13.5 million at December 31, 2010 is the fair value as of the date the impairment was
taken. No further impairment indicators were noted as at December 31, 2010. The shuttle tanker equipment was purchased for use in future
shuttle tanker conversions or new shuttle tankers. During the fourth quarter of 2010, the carrying value of the 1992-built shuttle tanker was
written-down to its estimated fair value of $11.0 million at December 31, 2010. The two write-downs are included in the Company’s shuttle
tanker and FSO segment.
The Company’s consolidated statements of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2009 includes a $24.2 million write-down for
impairment of three older vessels due to lower fair values compared to carrying values, of which two vessels were sold at the end of 2009. The
Company used recent sale prices of similar age and size of vessels to determine the fair value. The remaining vessel was presented on the
consolidated balance sheet as vessels held for sale as at December 31, 2009.
The Company’s consolidated statements of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2008 includes a $40.4 million write-down for
impairment of certain older vessels due to lower fair values compared to carrying values. The Company used discounted cash flows to
determine the fair value.

accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
During 2009, the Company incurred $14.4 million of restructuring costs. The restructuring costs were primarily comprised of the reflagging of
certain vessels, transfer of certain ship management functions from the Company’s office in Spain to a subsidiary of Teekay, global staffing
changes and closure of one of the Company’s three offices in Norway. At December 31, 2009, $2.0 million of restructuring liability were
recorded in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
During 2008, the Company incurred $15.6 million of restructuring costs. The restructuring costs were primarily comprised of the closure of one

The majority of the net increase for positions for the year ended December 31, 2010 relates to potential tax on freight income.
The Company does not presently anticipate such uncertain tax positions will significantly increase or decrease in the next 12 months; however,
actual developments could differ from those currently expected. The tax years 2006 through 2009 remain open to examination by some of the
major taxing jurisdictions in which the Company is subject to tax.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The interest and penalties on
unrecognized tax benefits are included in the roll-forward schedule above and are approximately $1.2 million in 2010, $8.5 million in 2009 and
$1.4 million in 2008.
22. Pension Benefits
a) Defined Contribution Pension Plans
With the exception of the Company’s employees in Norway and certain of its employees in Australia, the Company’s employees are generally
eligible to participate in defined contribution plans. These plans allow for the employees to contribute a certain percentage of their base salaries
into the plans. The Company will match all or a portion of the employees’ contributions, depending on how much each employee contributes.
During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the amount of cost recognized for its defined contribution pension plans was
$17.1 million, $15.0 million and $19.8 million, respectively.
b) Defined Benefit Pension Plans
The Company has a number of defined benefit pension plans (or the Plans) which primarily cover its employees in Norway and certain
employees in Australia. As at December 31, 2010, approximately 73% of the defined benefit pension assets are held by the Norwegian plans
and approximately 27% are held by the Australia plan. The pension assets in the Norwegian plans have been guaranteed a minimum rate of

return by the provider, thus reducing potential exposure to the Company to the extent the counterparty honors its obligations. Potential
exposure to the Company has also been reduced, particularly for the Australian plans, as a result of certain of its time-charter and management
contracts that allow the Company, under certain conditions, to recover pension plan costs from its customers.
In 2010, the Norwegian Parliament enacted a new multi-employer early retirement plan for the private sector in Norway, which was effective
January 1, 2011. As a result of the legislation, the Company was substantially released from its obligation under the Company's prior early
retirement plan (a single-employer defined benefit pension plan) and the Company recorded income of $3.7 million in the consolidated
statement of income (loss). An employer participating in a multi-employer plan recognizes as net pension cost the required contribution for the
period, which includes both cash and the fair market value of non-cash contributions, and recognizes as a liability any unpaid contributions
required for the period.

(1) The Company has no control over the investment mix or strategy of the pooled funds. The pooled funds guarantee a minimum rate of
return. If actual investment returns are less than the guarantee minimum rate, then the provider’s statutory reserves are used to top up the
shortfall. The pooled funds primarily invest in hold to maturity bonds, real estate and other fixed income investments, which provide a
stable rate of return.

(2) The mutual funds primary aim is to provide investors with an exposure to a diversified mix of predominantly growth oriented assets (70%)
with moderate to high volatility and some defensive assets (30%).
The investment strategy for all plan assets is generally to actively manage a portfolio that is diversified amongst asset classes, markets and
regions. Certain of the investment funds do not invest in companies that do not meet certain socially responsible investment criteria. In addition
to diversification, other risk management strategies employed by the investment funds include gradual implementation of portfolio adjustments
and hedging currency risks.
The Company’s plan assets are primarily invested in commingled funds holding equity and debt securities, which are valued using the net asset
value (or NAV), provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its
liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares or units outstanding. Commingled funds are classified within Level 2 of the fair value
hierarchy as the NAV’s are not publicly available.
The Company has a pension committee that is comprised of various members of senior management. Among other things, the Company’s
pension committee oversees the investment and management of the plan assets, with a view to ensuring the prudent and effective
management of such plans. In addition, the pension committee reviews investment manager performance results annually and approves
changes to the investment manager.
The weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at December 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

(1) To the extent the expected return on plan assets varies from the actual return, an actuarial gain or loss results. The expected long-term
rates of return on plan assets are based on the estimated weighted-average long-term returns of major asset classes. In determining asset
class returns, the Company takes into account long-term returns of major asset classes, historical performance of plan assets, as well as
the current interest rate environment. The asset class returns are weighted based on the target asset allocations.
23. Joint Ventures
The Company has joint venture interests of 33%, 40%, and 50%, respectively, in the Angola LNG Project (see Note 16b), Ikdam Production,
and SkaugenPetroTrans. The Wah Kwong Joint Venture is a joint venture arrangement between Teekay Tankers and Wah Kwong whereby
Teekay Tankers holds a 50% interest (see Note 16b). The RasGas 3 Joint Venture is a joint venture arrangement between Teekay LNG and
QGTC 3 whereby Teekay LNG holds a 40% interest. The RasGas 3 Joint Venture owns four LNG carriers and related long-term fixed-rate
time-charters to service the expansion of a LNG project in Qatar.
In November 2010, Teekay LNG acquired a 50% interest in companies that own two LNG carriers (collectively, the Exmar Joint Venture) from
Exmar NV for a total purchase price of approximately $72.5 million. Teekay LNG financed $37.3 million of the purchase price by issuing to
Exmar NV 1.1 million new common units with the balance financed by drawing on one of Teekay LNG’s revolving credit facilities. As part of the
transaction, Teekay LNG agreed to guarantee 50% of the $206 million of debt secured by the Exmar Joint Venture. Exmar NV retains a 50%
ownership interest in the Exmar Joint Venture. The two vessels acquired are the 2002-built Excalibur, a conventional LNG carrier, and the
2005-built Excelsior, a specialized gas carrier which can both transport and regasify LNG onboard. Both vessels are on long-term, fixed-rate
charter contracts to Excelerate Energy LP for firm periods until 2022 and 2025, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded equity (loss) income of $(11.3) million (2009 – $52.2 million). This amount is
included in equity (loss) income from joint ventures in the consolidated statements of income (loss). The income or loss was primarily
comprised of the Company’s share of net (loss) income from the Angola LNG Project and from the RasGas 3 Joint Venture. For the year ended
December 31, 2010, $(26.3) million of the equity (loss) gain relates to the Company’s share of unrealized (loss) gain on interest rate swaps
associated with these projects (2009 – $32.4 million).
24. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In September 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, that provides for a new methodology for
establishing the fair value for a deliverable in a multiple-element arrangement. When vendor specific objective or third-party evidence for
deliverables in a multiple-element arrangement cannot be determined, the Company will be required to develop a best estimate of the selling
price of separate deliverables and to allocate the arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. This amendment became
effective for the Company on January 1, 2011. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
25. Subsequent Events
a)
In January and February 2011, the Company paid $92.7 million to the counterparties of five interest rate swap agreements in consideration for
amending the terms of such agreements to reduce the weighted average fixed interest rate from 5.1% to 2.5%. The amount paid will be
reflected in the Company’s 2011 consolidated financial statements as a reduction in the outstanding liability of the interest rate swaps, which
are accounted for at fair value.

In February 2011, Teekay Tankers completed a public offering of 9.9 million common shares of its Class A Common Stock (including 1.3 million
common shares issued upon the exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option) at a price of $11.33 per share, for gross proceeds of
approximately $112.1 million. As a result, the Teekay’s ownership of Teekay Tankers was reduced to 26.0%. Teekay maintains voting control
of Teekay Tankers through its ownership of shares of Teekay Tankers’ Class A and Class B common stock and continues to consolidate this
subsidiary.
In February 2011, the Company made a loan of approximately $70 million to a third party ship-owner. This loan bears interest at an interest rate
of 9% per annum and has a fixed term of three years. The loan is repayable in full on maturity and is collateralized by a first priority mortgage
on a 2011-built VLCC owned by the ship-owner.
In March 2011, Teekay sold its remaining 49% interest in OPCO to Teekay Offshore for a combination of $175 million in cash (less $15 million
in distributions made by OPCO to Teekay between December 31, 2010 and the date of acquisition) and 7.6 million new Teekay Offshore
common units and associated general partner interest. The transaction was approved in March 2011 by the Board of Directors of Teekay
Offshore's general partner and by its Conflicts Committee. The sale increased Teekay Offshore's ownership of OPCO from 51% to 100%. As a
result, Teekay’s ownership of Teekay Offshore was increased to 36.9% (including the Company’s 2% general partner interest). Teekay
maintains control of Teekay Offshore by virtue of its control of the general partner and will continue to consolidate the subsidiary.
In April 2011, Teekay LNG completed a public offering of 4.3 million common units (including 0.6 million common units issued upon the partial
exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option) at a price of $38.88 per unit, for gross proceeds (including the general partner’s
proportionate capital contribution) of approximately $168.7 million. As a result, Teekay’s ownership of Teekay LNG was reduced to 43.6%
(including the Company’s 2% general partner interest). Teekay maintains control of Teekay LNG by virtue of its control of the general partner
and will continue to consolidate the subsidiary.
