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 our 
total net income (loss).  

(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, asset impairments and net (gain) loss on sale of vessels and equipment, goodwill impairment 
charge,  bargain  purchase  gain,  amortization  of  in-process  revenue  contracts,  unrealized  (gains)  losses  on  derivative  instruments,  realized 
losses  (gains)  on  interest  rate  swaps,  realized  losses  on  interest  rate  swap  amendments  and  terminations,  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 
dry-docking  expenditures,  working  capital  changes  and  foreign  currency  exchange  gains  and  losses  (which  may  vary  significantly  fr om 
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 (loss), and our historical consolidated 
Adjusted EBITDA to net operating cash flow.

Risk Factors 

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,  production  and  storage  of  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 n atural gas and 
decreased demand for our vessels and services, which would reduce vessel earnings.  

The cyclical nature of the tanker industry may lead to volatile changes in charter rates and significant fluctuations in the utilization of our 
vessels, which may adversely affect our earnings and profitability. 

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. 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.  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 7% and 9% of our net revenues during 2012 and 2011, respectively. The spot-charter market is 
highly  volatile  and  fluctuates  based  upon  tanker  and  oil  supply  and  demand,  and  declining  spot  rates  in  a  given  period  generally  will  result  in 
corresponding declines in operating results for that period. 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. 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; 

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. 

Reduction in oil produced from offshore oil fields could harm our shuttle tanker and FPSO businesses. 

As at December 31, 2012, we had 34 vessels operating in our shuttle tanker fleet and seven FPSO units operating in our FPSO fleet. A majority of 
our shuttle tankers and all of  our FPSO 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. 

10 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 seven 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.  

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  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 fair market 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. Vessel values, particularly of tankers, have declined over the past 
few years, and have contributed to charges 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 expans ion in the FPSO, 
shuttle tanker, and FSO 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  num ber  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 s ources, 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 FPSO, shuttle tanker, and FSO 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. 

11 

 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.  

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, FPSO and FSO 
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,  FPSO, 
shuttle tanker and FSO 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 39%,  or $760.3 million,  of our consolidated revenues during  2012 (2011 – 
three customers for 36% or $698.9 million, 2010 – three customers for 38% or $778.6 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. 

Economic downturns and financial crises in the global markets could produce illiquidity in the capital markets, market volatility, heightened exposure 
to interest rate and credit risks and reduced access to capital markets. If global financial markets and economic conditions significantly deteriorate in 
the future, we may face restricted access to the capital markets or bank lending, which may make it more difficult and costly to fund future growth. 
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 ha zardous 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  requirement s  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 t hey 
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 effect on our business. 

Default by the borrower of the term loans in which we have invested could adversely affect our cash flows and financial condition. 

We have invested in term loans with a total principal amount outstanding of $185.0 million as of December 31,  2012. We receive quarterly interest 
payments on the loans, two of the loans outstanding will be due in July 2013 and the remaining loan outstanding will be due i n February 2014. The 
term loans are collateralized by first priority mortgages on two 2010-built and one 2011-built Very Large Crude Carriers (or  VLCCs), together with 
other related security. The borrower on these loans is facing financial difficulty and failed to pay the January 31, 2013 interest payment in full as we 
received  a  nominal  amount  in  March  2013.  A  full  recovery  of  all  amounts  due  under  the  loan  agreements  will  be  dependent  upon  cash  flow 
generated  by  the  borrower,  financial  support  from  the  borrower‘s  ultimate  parent  company  and  our  ability  to  realize  the  value  of  the  primary 
collateral, the three VLCCs. Failure of the borrower to pay interest or to repay principal under the loans would harm our results of operations and, to 
the extent we are unable to foreclose on the collateral, financial condition. 

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 FPSO and FSO 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, we do not generally carry insurance on our vessels covering the loss of revenues resulting from vessel off -hire time based on its 
cost  compared  to  our  off-hire  experience.  Any  significant  off-hire  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  exam ple,  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, marine disaster  or natural disasters 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. 

Past port calls by our vessels, or third-party vessels from which we derived pooling revenues, to countries that are subject to sanctions 
imposed by the United States and the European Union may impact investors’ decisions to invest in our securities.  

The  United  States  government  has  imposed  sanctions  on  Iran,  Syria  and  Sudan.   The   European  Union  (or  EU)  has  also  imposed  sanctions  on 
trade  with  Iran.  In  the  past,  conventional  oil  tankers  owned  or  chartered-in  by  us,  or  third-party  vessels  participating  in  commercial  pooling 
arrangements from which we derive revenue, made limited port calls to those countries for the loading and discharging of oil products. Those port 
calls did not violate U.S. or EU sanctions and we intend to maintain our compliance with all U.S. and EU sanctions. In addition, we have no future 
contracted loadings or discharges in any of those countries and intend not to enter into voyage charter contracts for the transport of oil or gas to or 
from Iran, Syria or Sudan. We believe that our compliance with these sanctions and our lack of any future port calls to those countries does not and 
will  not  adversely  impact  our  revenues,  because  port  calls  to  these  countries  have  never  accounted  for  any  material  amount  of  our  revenues. 
However,  some  investors  might  decide  not  to  invest  in  us  simply  because  we  have  previously  called  on,  or  through  our  participation  in  pooling 
arrangements have previously received revenue from calls on, ports in these sanctioned countries. Any such investor reaction could adversely affect 
the market for our common shares. 

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: 

13 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  marine disaster; 

 

bad weather or natural disasters; 

  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. 

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  resul ts  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  dry  docking  schedule  of  our  fleet  with  this  seasonality,  which  may  result  in  lower 
revenues and increased dry docking 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.  

Our  newbuilding  financing  commitments  typically  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,  2012,  we  had  on  order  four  shuttle  tankers,  a  50% interest  in  one  VLCC,  one  FPSO  unit  and  two  LNG  carriers.  The  four  shuttle  tankers  are 
scheduled for delivery in 2013, the VLCC is scheduled to deliver in 2013, the FPSO is scheduled to deliver in 2014 and the two LNG carriers are 
scheduled for delivery in 2016. As of December 31, 2012, progress payments made towards these newbuildings, excluding payments made by our 
joint venture partners, totaled $708.0 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  conversions  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  recently 
submitted bids to provide transportation solutions for LNG and LPG, FPSO and FSO projects. We may submit additional bids from time to time. The 
award process relating to LNG and LPG transportation, FPSO and FSO opportunities typically involves various stages and takes several  months to 

14 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
complete. If we bid on and are awarded contracts relating to any LNG and LPG, FPSO and FSO projects, we will need to incur significant capital 
expenditures to build the related LNG and LPG carriers, FPSO and FSO 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 fi nancial 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 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 
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. The primary source of these gains and losses is our Euro-denominated term loans and our 
Norwegian Kroner-denominated bonds. We have entered into foreign currency forward contracts to economically hedge portions of our forecasted 
expenditures denominated in Norwegian Kroner. We also incur interest expense on our Norwegian Kroner-denominated bonds. We have entered 
into cross-currency swaps to economically hedge the foreign exchange risk on the principal and interest. 

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,  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 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  pr operty  damage,  increased 
vessel  operational  costs,  including  insurance  costs,  and  the  inability  to  transport  oil  to  or  from  certain  locations.  Terrori st  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 charters, 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. In recent years, the frequency and severity of piracy incidents has significantly increased, 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  on-board  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, hijacking as a result of an act of piracy against our vessels, or an increase in cost or unavailability of insuranc e 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. 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  and  gas  from 
politically  and  economically  unstable  regions.  Conflicts  in  these  regions  have  included  attacks  on  ships  and  other  efforts  to  disrupt  shipping. 
Hostilities, strikes, or other political or economic instability in regions where we operate or where we may operate could ha ve  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 in which we operate or to which we trade 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, or port authorities could detain, 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.  In  addition,  port  authorities  may  seek  to  detain  our  vessels  in  port,  which  could  adversely  affect  our  operating  results  or  relationships  with 
customers. 

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  indus tries  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 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, 2012, the total outstanding debt under credit facilities 
with  this  type  of  covenant  tied  to  conventional  tanker  values  was  $164.8  million  and  to  LNG  carrier  values  was  $434.1  million.    We  have  five 
financing  arrangements  that  require  us  to  maintain  vessel  value  to  outstanding  loan  principal  balance  ratios  ranging  from  105%  to  115%.  At 
December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with these required ratios. 

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, regul atory 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, 2012, our consolidated debt and capital lease obligations totaled $6.2 billion and we had the capacity to borrow an additional 
$1.2 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 lim itations 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,  and  our 
ability to refinance our credit facilities 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  t hat  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 

16 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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  our  debt  securities  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  futur e  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: 

 

 

 

 

 

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 lessee 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  United  Kingdom  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. 

As described in ―Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 10 – Capital Lease Obligations and Restricted Cash‖, the Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture is the 
lessee under 30-year capital lease arrangements with a third party for the three RasGas II LNG Carriers (or the RasGas II Leases). The UK taxing 
authority (or HMRC) has been urging the lessor as well as other lessors under capital lease arrangements that have tax benefits similar to the  ones 
provided  by  the  RasGas  II  Leases,  to  terminate  such  finance  lease  arrangements  and  has  in  other  circumstances  challenged  the  use  of  similar 
structures. As a result, the lessor has requested that the Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture enter into negotiations to terminate the RasGas II Leases. 
The Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture has declined this request as it does not believe that HRMC would be able to successfully challenge the availability 
of the tax benefits of these leases to the lessor. This assessment is partially based on a January 2012 court decision, regarding a similar financial 
lease of an LNG carrier, that ruled in favor of the taxpayer. However, the HMRC is appealing that decision and the appeal is expected to be heard in 
May 2013. If the HMRC were able to successfully challenge the RasGas II Leases, the Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture 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.  Teekay  LNG 
estimates its 70% share of the potential exposure to be approximately $29 million, exclusive of potential financing and interest rate s wap termination 
costs. 

The Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture has received notification from the lessor of the three vessels of a credit rating downgrade to the bank that was 
providing the letter of credit (or LC Bank) to Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture‘s tax lease. As a result, the lessor has claimed  an increase to the lease 

17 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
rentals  over  the  remaining  term  of  the  RasGas  II  Leases  and  instructed  that  an  estimated  $12  million  additional  amount  of  cash  be  placed  on 
deposit by the Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture. The Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture has engaged external legal counsel to assess these claims. Teekay 
LNG‘s 70% share of the present value of the lease rental increase claim is approximately $10 million; however, the final amount is dependent on 
external legal counsel‘s review. The Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture is also looking at other alternatives to mitigate the impac t of the downgrade to the 
LC Bank‘s credit rating.  

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  joint  venture  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. 

Our  joint  venture  arrangements  impose  obligations  upon  us  but  limit  our  control  of  the  joint  ventures,  which  may  affect  our  ability  to 
achieve our joint venture objectives. 

For financial or strategic reasons, we conduct a portion of our business through joint ventures.  Generally, we are obligated to provide proportionate 
financial  support  for  the  joint  ventures  although  our  control  of  the  business  entity  may  be  substantially  limited.  Due  to  this  limited  control,  we 
generally have less flexibility to pursue our own objectives through joint ventures than we would with our own subsidiar ies. There is no assurance 
that  our  joint  venture  partners  will  continue  their  relationships  with  us  in  the  future  or  that  we  will  be  able  to  achieve  our  financial  or  strategic 
objectives relating to the joint ventures and the markets in which they operate. In addition, our joint venture partners may have business objectives 
that are inconsistent with ours, experience financial and other difficulties that may affect the success of the joint venture, or be unable or unwilling to 
fulfill their obligations under the joint ventures, which may affect our financial condition or results of operations. 

Tax Risks  

In addition to the following risk factors, you should read "Item 4. Information on the Company—Taxation of the Company‖ and "Item 10. Additional 
Information—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations‖ and ―—Non-United States Tax Consequences‖ 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 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 non-U.S. 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 2010-01) 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 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 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.‖ 

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. For example, 
changes in the  ownership of our stock may cause us to  be  unable to claim an  exemption from U.S. federal income tax under Sect ion 883  of the 
Code. If we were not exempt from tax under Section 883 of the Code, we 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., the amount of which is not within our complete control.   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. Please read "Item 4. Information on the 
Company—Taxation of the Company.‖

Item 4.    Information on the Company 

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 pr oduction, 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)  and 
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). We are responsible for managing and  operating consolidated  assets of over 
$11 billion, comprised of approximately 170 liquefied gas, offshore, and conventional tanker assets. With offices in 16 countries and approximately 
6,400  seagoing  and  shore-based  employees,  Teekay  provides  a  comprehensive  set  of  marine  services  to  the  world‘s  leading  oil  and  gas 
companies, and its reputation for safety, quality and innovation has earned it a position with its customers as The Marine Midstream Company. 

Our shuttle tanker and FSO segment and our FPSO segment include our shuttle tanker operations, floating storage and off-take (or FSO) units, and 
our floating production, storage and offloading (or  FPSO) units, which primarily operate under long-term fixed-rate contracts. As of  December 31, 
2012, our shuttle tanker fleet, including newbuildings on order, had a total cargo capacity of approximately 4.8 million deadweight tonnes (or dwt ), 
which represented approximately 40% of the total tonnage of the world shuttle tanker fleet. Please read ―—B. Operations—Our Fleet.‖ 

Our liquefied  gas segment includes our LNG and  LPG carriers. Substantially  all of our  LNG and LPG carriers are subject to long-term, fixed-rate 
charter  contracts.  As  of  December  31,  2012,  this  fleet,  including  newbuildings  on  order,  had  a  total  cargo  carrying  capacity  of  approximately 
4.6 million cubic meters. Please read ―—B. Operations—Our Fleet.‖ 

Our  conventional  tanker  segment  includes  our  conventional  crude  oil  tankers  and  product  carriers.  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.  

Our spot tanker sub-segment consists of conventional crude oil tankers and product tankers operating in 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  vessels  included  in  the  spot  tanker  sub-segment.  Our  fixed-rate  tanker  sub-segment  includes  our  conventional  crude  oil  and  product 
tankers on fixed-rate time-charter contracts with an initial duration of at least one year. Please read ―—B. Operations—Our Fleet.‖ 

The Teekay organization was founded in 1973. We are incorporated under the laws of the Republic of The Marshall Islands as Teekay Corporation 
and maintain our principal executive headquarters at 4th floor, Belvedere Building, 69  Pitts Bay Road, Hamilton, HM 08, Bermuda. Our telephone 
number at such address is (441) 298-2530. Our principal operating office is located at Suite 2000, Bentall 5, 550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British 
Columbia, Canada, V6C 2K2. Our telephone number at such address is (604) 683-3529. 

Recent Business Acquisitions 

Teekay LNG – Marubeni Joint Venture 

In February 2012, a joint venture between our subsidiary Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (or Teekay LNG) and Marubeni Corporation (or Teekay LNG-
Marubeni Joint Venture) acquired a 100% interest in six LNG carriers from Denmark-based A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S for approximately $1.3 billion. 
The Teekay  LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture financed this acquisition with $1.06  billion from secured loan facilities and an aggregate of $266 million 
from equity  contributions  from Teekay  LNG  and  Marubeni  Corporation.  Teekay  LNG  has  agreed  to  guarantee  its  52% share  of  the  s ecured  loan 
facilities of the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture and, as a result, deposited $30 million in a restricted cash account as security. Teekay LNG has 
a 52% economic interest in the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture and, consequently, its share of the equity contribution was approximately $138 
million. Teekay LNG financed this equity contribution by borrowing under its existing credit facilities. 

Exmar LPG Joint Venture 

On February 12, 2013, Teekay LNG entered into a joint venture agreement with Belgium-based Exmar NV (or Exmar) to own and charter-in LPG 
carriers  with  a  primary  focus  on  the  mid-size  gas  carrier  segment.  The  joint  venture  entity,  called  Exmar  LPG  BVBA,  took  economic  effect  as  of 
November  1,  2012  and  includes  16  owned  LPG  carriers  (including  four  newbuildings  scheduled  for  delivery  in  2014)  and  five  cha rtered-in  LPG 
carriers. In addition, the joint venture recently ordered another four medium-size gas carrier newbuildings with deliveries scheduled between 2015 
and 2016, with options to order up to four additional vessels, which brings the total fleet size of Exmar LPG BVBA to 25 vessels, excluding options. 
For its 50% ownership interest in the joint venture, including newbuilding payments made prior to the November 1, 2012 economic effective date of 
the joint venture, Teekay LNG invested  approximately $134 million of equity and  assumed  approximately $108 million of its pro rata share  of the 
existing debt and lease obligations as of the economic effective date, secured by certain vessels in the Exmar LPG BVBA fleet. Exmar will continue 
to  commercially  and  technically  manage  and  operate  the  vessels.  Since  control  of  Exmar  LPG  BVBA  will  be  shared  jointly  between  Exmar  and 
Teekay LNG, Teekay LNG expects to account for Exmar LPG BVBA using the equity method. 

HiLoad Dynamic Positioning Unit 

In November 2012, Teekay Offshore agreed to acquire a 2010-built HiLoad Dynamic Positioning (DP) unit from Remora AS (or Remora), a Norway-
based offshore marine technology company, for a total purchase price of approximately $55 million including modification cost s. The HiLoad DP unit 
is a self-propelled dynamic positioning system that attaches to and keeps conventional tankers in position when loading from offshore installations.  
The transaction is subject to finalizing a ten-year time-charter contract with Petroleo Brasileiro SA (or  Petrobras) in Brazil.  The acquisition of the 

19 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
HiLoad DP unit is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2013 and the unit is expected to commence operating at it s full time-charter 
rate in early 2014 once modifications, delivery of the DP unit to Brazil, and operational testing have been completed.  As part of the transaction, we 
have also agreed to invest approximately $4.4 million to acquire a 49.9% ownership interest in a recapitalized Remora.  In addition, Teeky Offshore 
will  enter  into  an  agreement  with  Remora  which  will  provide  Teekay  Offshore  with  the  right  of  first  refusal  to  acquire  future  HiLoad  projects 
developed by Remora.

Operations—Significant Developments in 2012 and Early 2013 " for more information. 

Recent Equity Offerings and Transactions by Subsidiaries 

Equity Offerings and Transactions by Teekay Tankers 

During April 2010,  Teekay Tankers completed a  public offering of 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  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: two Suezmax tankers, the Yamuna Spirit and the Kaveri Spirit, and one 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 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. Teekay Tankers used part of the net proceeds from the offering to repay a portion of its outstanding debt under a term loan. 

During 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 proceeds from the offering to prepay a portion of its outstanding debt under a revolving 
credit facility. 

During  February  2012,  Teekay  Tankers  completed  a  public  offering  of  17.3  million  common  shares  of  its  Class  A  common  stock  (including  2.3 
million common shares issued upon the full exercise of the underwriter‘s overallotment option) at a price of $4.00 per share, for gross proceeds of 
$69 million. Teekay Tankers used the net proceeds from the offering to repay a portion of its outstanding debt under a revolving credit facility. 

During  June  2012,  Teekay  Tankers  acquired  from Teekay  a  fleet  of  13  double-hull  conventional  oil  and  product  tankers  and  related  time-charter 
contracts, debt facilities and other assets and rights, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $454.2 million.  As partial consideration for 
the sale, Teekay received $25 million of newly issued shares of Teekay Tankers‘ Class A common stock, issued at a price of $5.60 per share, and 
the  remaining  amount  was  settled  through  a  combination  of  a  cash  payment  to  Teekay  and  the  assumption  by  Teekay  Tankers  of  existing  debt 
secured by the acquired vessels.  

As a result of these transactions, our ownership of Teekay Tankers was 25.1% as of March 1, 2013. We maintain voting control of Teekay Tankers 
through our ownership of shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock and continue to consolidate this subsidiary. Please read "Item 18. Financial 
Statements: Note 5—Financing Transactions."  

Equity Offerings, Unit Issuances and Transactions by Teekay Offshore and the Sale of Remaining Interest in OPCO to 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% 
proportionate  capital  contribution).  Teekay  Offshore  used  the  net  proceeds  from  the  offering  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.  

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  a  price  of  $22.15  per  unit,  for  gross  proceeds  of  $136.5  million  (including  the  general  partner‘s  2% 
proportionate capital contribution). Teekay Offshore used the net proceeds from the 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  part ner‘s  2% 
proportionate  capital  contribution).  Teekay  Offshore  used  the  net  proceeds  from the  offering  to  repay  a  portion  of  its  outstanding  debt  under  one 
revolving credit facility. 

During 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‘s general partner made a proportionate capital contribution to maintain its 2% general partner interest. The sale increased Teekay 
Offshore's ownership of OPCO from 51% to 100%.  

During  July  2011,  Teekay  Offshore  completed  a  private  placement  of  0.7  million  common  units  at  a  price  of  $28.04  per  unit  to  an  institutional 
investor for gross proceeds of approximately $20.4 million (including the general partner‘s  2% proportionate capital contribution).  Teekay Offshore 
used the proceeds from the issuance of common units to partially fund the acquisition of four newbuilding shuttle tankers to be chartered under long-
term fixed-rate charters with a subsidiary of BG Group plc (or BG) to provide shuttle tanker services in Brazil.  

During November 2011, Teekay Offshore completed a private placement of 7.3 million common units at a price of $23.90 to a group of institutional 
investors for gross proceeds of approximately $173.5 million (including the general partner's 2% proportionate capital contribution). Teekay Offshore

used  the  proceeds  from  the  issuance  of  common  units  to  finance  its  acquisition  from  Sevan  in  November  2011  of  the  Piranema  and  four  BG 
newbuilding shuttle tankers that are scheduled to deliver in mid-2013. 

During  November  2011,  Teekay  Offshore  acquired  a  100%  interest  in  the  Piranema  from  Sevan.    The  total  purchase  price  of  $164.3  million 
(including an adjustment for working capital) was paid in cash and was financed through the concurrent issuance of 7.3 million common units in a 
private placement with third-party investors. The 2007-built Piranema Spirit FPSO unit is currently operating under a long-term charter to Petroleo 
Brasileiro S.A. (or Petrobras) on the Piranema field located offshore Brazil. The charter includes a firm contract period through March 2018, with up 
to 11 one-year extension options and includes cost escalation clauses. 

During  July  2012,  Teekay  Offshore  issued  1.7  million  common  units  to  a  group  of  institutional  investors  for  gross  proceeds,  including  Teekay 
Offshore‘s  general  partner‘s  2%  proportionate  capital  contribution,  of  $45.9  million.  Teekay  Offshore  used  the  net  proceeds  f rom the  issuance  of 
common units to partially finance the shipyard instalments for the four Suezmax newbuilding shuttle tankers. 

During September 2012, Teekay Offshore completed a public offering of 7.8 million common units for gross proceeds, including  Teekay Offshore‘s 
general  partner‘s  2%  proportionate  capital  contribution,  of  $219.5  million.  Teekay  Offshore  used  the  net  proceeds  from  the  issuance  of  common 
units to repay a portion of its outstanding debt under its revolving credit facilities. 

As a result of these transactions, our ownership of Teekay Offshore was reduced to 29.4% (including our 2% general partner interest) as of March 
1,  2013.  We  maintain  control  of  Teekay  Offshore  by  virtue  of  our  control  of  the  general  partner  and  will  continue  to  consolidate  this  subsidiary.

Equity Offerings, Unit Issuances and Transactions by Teekay LNG  

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).  

During 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 borrowing under one of its revolving credit facilities.  

During April 2011, Teekay LNG completed a public offering of 4.3 million of its common units (including 551,800 million units issued upon the partial 
exercise of the underwriters‘ overallotment option) at a price of $38.88 per unit, for gross proceeds of $168.7 million (including the general partner‘s 
2% proportionate capital contribution). Teekay LNG used the net proceeds from the offering to fund the equity purchase price of its acquisition from 
Teekay of a 33% interest in four newbuilding LNG carriers to provide services to the Angola LNG Project.  

During November 2011, Teekay LNG completed a public offering of 5.5 million of its common units at a price of $33.40 per unit, for gross proceeds 
of $187.4 million (including the general partner‘s 2% proportionate capital contribution). Teekay LNG used the proceeds from the offering to partially 
finance  the  acquisition,  through  a  joint  venture  with  Marubeni  Corporation  (or  Marubeni),  of  six  LNG  carriers  from  A.P.  Moller-Maersk  A/S  (or 
Maersk). 

During  February  2012,  Teekay  LNG  and  Marubeni  acquired,  through  their  joint  venture  (or  the  Teekay  LNG-Marubeni  Joint  Venture),  a  100% 
interest in the six LNG carriers from Maersk for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.3 billion. Teekay LNG and Marubeni have 52% 
and  48%  economic  interests,  respectively,  but  share  control  in  the  joint  venture  that  was  formed  to  hold  the  ownership  interests  in  these  LNG 
carriers. The Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture financed this acquisition with secured loan facilities  and equity contributions from Teekay LNG 
and Marubeni.  Teekay LNG's share of the equity contribution was approximately $138 million. 

During  September  2012,  Teekay  LNG  completed  a  public  offering  of  4.8  million  common  units  at  a  price  of  $38.43  per  unit  for  gross  proceeds, 
including Teekay LNG‘s general partner‘s 2% proportionate capital contribution, of approximately $189.2 million. Teekay LNG used the net proceeds 
from the offering to repay a portion of its outstanding debt under two of its revolving credit facilities. 

As a result of these transactions, our ownership of Teekay LNG has been reduced to 37.5% (including our 2% general partner in terest) as of March 
1, 2013. We maintain control of Teekay LNG by virtue of our control of the general partner and will continue to consolidate this subsidiary. Please

B. Operations 

Our organization is divided into the following key areas: the shuttle tanker and FSO segment (included in our Teekay Shuttle 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.  

 

 

The Teekay Shuttle and Offshore and Teekay Petrojarl business units provide 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. 

The  Teekay  Gas  Services  business  unit  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.

 

The Teekay Tanker Services business unit 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, 2012, there were approximately 102 vessels in the world shuttle tanker fleet (including 25 newbuildings), the majority of which 
operate in the North Sea. Shuttle tankers also operate in Africa, Brazil, Canada, Russia and the United States Gulf. As of December 31, 2012, we 
had  ownership  interests  in  34  shuttle  tankers  (including  four  newbuildings)  and  chartered-in  an  additional  four  shuttle  tankers.  Subsequent  to 
December 31, 2012, we sold a  1992-built owned shuttle tanker, which was laid-up since July  2011. Other shuttle tanker owners include Knutsen 
NYK Offshore Tankers AS, Transpetro, Sovcomflot, Viken Shipping and J. Lauritzen which, as of December 31, 2012, controlled smaller fleets of 3 
to 22 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 and Brazil.  

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 off-take 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 conventional or shuttle 
tankers. These conversions, which include installation of a loading and off-take 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 or shuttle 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 31, 2012, there were approximately 101 FSO units operating and nine FSO units on order in the world fleet. As at December 31, 
2012, we had ownership interests in five 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  syst em  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 ship-shaped or cylindrical-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  f rom  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, 

22 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
FPSO  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  on  board.  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 2012, there 
were approximately 165 FPSO units operating and 44 FPSO units on order in the world fleet. At December 31, 2012, we had ownership interests in 
ten FPSO units (including one unit under conversion). 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, MODEC, 
Bluewater, Bumi Armada and Maersk FPSOs. 

During  2012,  a  total  of  approximately  60%  of  our  net  revenues  were  earned  by  the  vessels  in  our  shuttle  tankers  and  FSO  segment  and  FPSO 
segment, compared to approximately 55% in 2011 and 53% in 2010. 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), short-term time-charters and 
medium-term time-charters 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 Qatar Gas Transport (Nakilat), Malaysian International Shipping Company, Mitsui O.S.K Lines, NYK Line, Golar LNG, Shell and BW Group. 

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 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 35 to 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, 2012, there were approximately 373 vessels in the worldwide LNG fleet, 
with an average age of approximately 11 years, and an additional 86 LNG carriers under construction or on order for delivery  through 2017. As of 
December 31, 2012, the worldwide LPG tanker fleet consisted of approximately 1,236 vessels with an average age of approximately 16 years and 
approximately  97  additional  LPG  vessels  were  on  order  for  delivery  through  2016.  LPG  carriers  range  in  size  from  approximatel y  250  to 
approximately 85,000 cubic meters (or cbm). Approximately 53% (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 charter contracts. As at December 31, 2012, 
we had ownership interests in 27 LNG carriers, as well as 2 additional newbuilding LNG carriers on order. In addition, as at December 31, 2012, we 
had ownership interests in five LPG carriers. Subsequent to December 31, 2012, Teekay LNG entered into a joint venture agreement with Belgium-
based Exmar NV (or Exmar) to own and charter-in LPG carriers with a primary focus on the mid-size gas carrier segment. The joint venture entity, 
called  Exmar  LPG  BVBA,  took  economic  effect  as  of  November  1,  2012  and  includes  20  owned  LPG  carriers  (including  eight  newbuildings 
scheduled for delivery between 2014 and 2016 and five chartered-in LPG carriers. 

During 2012, approximately 16% of our net revenues were earned by the vessels in our liquefied gas segment, compared to approximately 15% in 
2011, and 13% in 2010. Please read "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects: Results of Operations."

Conventional Tanker Segment 

a)  Spot Tanker Sub-Segment 

Our spot tanker sub-segment consists of conventional crude oil tankers and product tankers operating in 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. 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 limi ted 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, 2012, we participated in two main pooling arrangements. 
These include an Aframax tanker pool and a Suezmax tanker pool (or the Gemini Pool). As of 2012, eleven of our Aframax tankers operated in the 
Aframax tanker pool and ten 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, 2012, our Aframax tanker fleet (excluding Aframax-size 
shuttle tankers and newbuildings) had an average age of approximately 11.0 years and our Suezmax tanker fleet (excluding Suezmax-size shuttle 
tankers  and  newbuildings)  had  an  average  age  of  approximately  7.0  years.  This  compares  to  an  average  age  for  the  world  oil  tanker  fleet  of 
approximately 8.5 years, for the world Aframax tanker fleet of approximately 8.3 years and for the world Suezmax tanker fleet of approximately 7.7 
years. 

As of December 31,  2012, other large operators of Aframax tonnage (including newbuildings  on  order) included Malaysian International Shipping 
Corporation  (approximately  55  Aframax  vessels),  Sovcomflot  (approximately  42  vessels),  the  Sigma  Pool  (approximately  41  vessels)  and  the 
Aframax  International  Pool  (approximately  24  Aframax  vessels).  Other  large  operators  of  Suezmax  tonnage  (including  newbuildings  on  order) 
included  the  Stena  Sonangol  Pool  (approximately  26  vessels),  the  Blue  Fin  Pool  (approximately  21  vessels),  the  Orion  Pool  (approximately  20 
vessels) and Sovcomflot (approximately 17 vessels). 

We have chartering staff located in Singapore; London, England; and Houston, USA. 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 2012, approximately 7% of our net revenues were earned by the vessels in our spot tanker sub-segment, compared to approximately 9% in 
2011 and 13% in 2010. 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 one year duration or more to be long-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  2012, 
approximately 17% of our net revenues were earned by the vessels in the fixed-rate tanker sub-segment, compared to approximately 21% in 2011 
and 20% in 2010. Please read "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects: Results of Operations." 

Our Fleet 

As  at  December  31,  2012,  our  fleet  (excluding  vessels  managed  for  third  parties)  consisted  of  146  vessels,  including  chartered-in  vessels  and 
newbuildings/conversions on order. The following table summarizes our fleet as at December 31, 2012:

excess of three years in length. Three FPSO units are owned 100% by Teekay Offshore. One FPSO unit is owned 50% by Teekay and one is a variable interest 
entity.  Certain of our FPSO contracts include the services of shuttle tankers and an FSO unit, and as such, these vessels are included in the FPSO segment. 

(6) 

Includes one FPSO unit owned 100% by us, which is scheduled to be delivered during the first half of 2014. 

(7) 

Includes the following interests of Teekay LNG: a 100% interest in six LNG carriers, a 70% interest in five LNG carriers, a 40% interest in four LNG carriers, a 50% 
interest in two LNG carriers, a 52% interest in six LNG carriers, and a 33% interest in four LNG carriers.

Our vessels are of Bahamian, Belgian, Danish, Isle of Man, Liberian, Marshall Islands, Norwegian, 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  utilizat ion.  In  addition,  spare 
parts and technical knowledge can be applied to all the vessels in the particular series, thereby generating operating efficiencies.

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 (or  QATO)  to  conduct  rigorous  internal  audits  of  our  processes  and  provide  our 
seafarers with on-board 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.  In  2010,  Teekay  Corporation  introduced  the  ―Operational 
Leadership‖ campaign to reinforce commitment to personal and operational safety. 

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 quarterly to determine if remedial action is necessary to reach the targets. 

We,  through  certain  of  our  subsidiaries,  assist  our  operating  subsidiaries  in  managing  their  ship  operations.  All  vessels  are  operated  under  our 
comprehensive  and  integrated  Safety  Management  System  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.  The  management  system  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 inc ludes both internal 
audits as well as external verification audits by DNV and certain flag states. 

We provide, through certain of our subsidiaries, expertise in various functions critical to the operations of our operating s ubsidiaries. 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. 

Critical ship management functions undertaken by our subsidiaries are: 

 

 

 

vessel maintenance (including repairs and dry docking) 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  on-board  and  on-shore  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, we and two other shipping companies have 
a purchasing alliance, Teekay Bergesen Worldwide, 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  marin e  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 maximum 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) and, for some of our LNG carriers, loss of revenues 
resulting from vessel off-hire time due to a marine casualty. 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  pol lution 
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.  More  stringent  en vironmental 
26 

 
 
 
 
 
 
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, risk analysis tools, maintenance and assessment 
programs, a seafarers competence training program, seafarers workshops and membership in emergency response organizations. 

We have 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,  to  the  extent  we  do  not 
contract in U.S. dollars, 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  pro ducers, 
government agencies, and various other entities that depend upon marine transportation. Two customers, international oil companies, accounted for 
a total of 30%, or $588.4 million, of our consolidated revenues during 2012 (2011 - two customers for 27% or $508.6 million, 2010 - three customers 
for 38% or $778.6 million). No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues during  2012, 2011, or 2010. 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.  

Flag, Classification, Audits and Inspections 

Our  vessels  are  registered  with  reputable  flag  states,  and  the  hull  and  machinery  of  all  of  our  vessels  have  been  ―Classed‖  by  one  o f  the  major 
classification  societies  and  members  of  International  Association  of  Classification  Societies  ltd  (or  IACS):  BV,  Lloyd‘s  Register  of  Shipping  or 
American Bureau of Shipping.  

The applicable classification society certifies that the vessel‘s design and build conforms to the applicable Class rules and meets the requirements 
of the applicable rules and regulations of the country of registry of the vessel and the international conventions to which that country is a signatory.  
The  classification  society  also  verifies  throughout  the  vessel‘s  life  that  it  continues  to  be  maintained  in  accordance  with  t hose  rules.  In  order  to 
validate this, the vessels are surveyed by the classification society, in accordance to the classification society rules, which  in the case of our vessels 
follows a comprehensive five-year special survey cycle, renewed every fifth year. During each five-year period, the vessel undergoes annual and 
intermediate  surveys,  the  scrutiny  and  intensity  of  which  is  primarily  dictated  by  the  age  of  the  vessel.  As  our  vessels  are  modern  and  we  have 
enhanced  the  resiliency  of  the  underwater  coatings  of  each  vessel  hull  and  marked  the  hull  to  facilitate  underwater  inspections  by  divers,  their 
underwater areas are inspected in a dry-dock at five-year intervals. In-water inspection is carried out during the second or third annual inspection 
(i.e. during an Intermediate Survey). 

In addition to class surveys, the vessel‘s flag state also verifies the condition of the vessel during annual flag state inspections, either independently 
or  by  additional  authorization  to  class.  Also,  port  state  authorities  of  a  vessel‘s  port  of  call  are  authorized  under  international  conventions  to 
undertake regular and spot checks of vessels visiting their jurisdiction.   

Processes followed  onboard  are  audited  by  either  the  flag  state  or  the  classification  society  acting  on  behalf  of  the  flag  st ate  to  ensure  that  they 
meet the requirements of the ISM Code. DNV typically carries out this task. We also follow an internal process of internal audits undertaken at each 
office and vessel annually.   

We follow a comprehensive inspections scheme supported by our sea staff, shore-based operational and technical specialists and members of our 
QATO program. We carry out a minimum of two such inspections annually, which helps ensure us that:  

 

 

our vessels and operations adhere to our operating standards; 

the structural integrity of the vessel is being maintained;   

  machinery and equipment is being maintained to give reliable service;  

  we are optimizing performance in terms of speed and fuel consumption; and  

 

the vessel‘s appearance supports our brand and meets customer expectations. 

Our customers also often carry out vetting inspections under the Ship inspection Report Program, which is a significant safet y initiative introduced 
by  the  Oil  Companies  International  Marine  Forum  to  specifically  address  concerns  about  sub-standard  vessels.  The  inspection  results  permit 
charterers to screen a vessel to ensure that it meets their general and specific risk-based shipping requirements. 

27 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We  believe  that  the  heightened  environmental  and  quality  concerns  of  insurance  underwriters,  regulators  and  charterers  will  generally  lead  to 
greater  scrutiny,  inspection  and  safety  requirements  on  all  vessels  in  the  oil  tanker  and  LNG  and  LPG  carrier  markets  and  will  accelerate  the 
scrapping or phasing out of older vessels throughout these markets. 

Overall,  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. 

 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 
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 tank er 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  revise d  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 t o 
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 Ship and Port Facility Security Code (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, l ifesaving 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 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) 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. 

The IMO has issued guidance regarding protecting against acts of piracy off the coast of Somalia.  We comply with these guidelines. 

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 similarly sized tankers install treatment systems by their first intermediate or renewal survey after 2016. This convention  has not yet 
been ratified, but when it 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. On May 17, 2011 the European 
commission carried out a number of ―dawn raids‖, or unannounced inspections, at the offices of some of the world‘s largest container line operators 

28 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
starting  an  antitrust  investigation.  We  are  not  directly  affected  by  this  investigation  and  believe  that  we  are  compliant  with  antitrust  rules. 
Nevertheless, it is possible that the investigation could be widened and new companies and practices come under scrutiny within the EU. 

The EU has also adopted legislation (directive 2009/16/Econ Port State Control) that: bans from European waters manifestly sub-standard vessels 
(defined as vessels that have been detained twice by EU port authorities, in the preceding two years); 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  pos ing  a  high  risk  to 
maritime safety or the marine environment; and provides the EU with greater authority and control over classification societies, including the ability 
to seek to suspend or revoke the authority of negligent societies. 

Two  new  regulations  were  introduced  by  the  European  Commission  in  September  2010,  as  part  of  the  implementation  of  the  Port  State  Control 
Directive. These came into force on January 1, 2011 and introduce a ranking system (published on a public website and updated daily) displaying 
shipping companies operating in the EU with the worst safety records. The ranking is judged upon the results of the technical inspections carried out 
on  the  vessels  owned  be  a  particular  shipping  company.  Those  shipping  companies  that  have  the  most  positive  safety  records  ar e  rewarded  by 
subjecting them to fewer inspections, whilst those with  the most safety shortcomings or technical failings recorded upon inspection will in turn be 
subject to a greater frequency of official inspections to their vessels. 

The EU has, by way of Directive 2005/35/EC, which has been amended by Directive 2009/123/EC created a legal framework for imposing criminal 
penalties  in  the  event  of  discharges  of  oil  and  other  noxious  substances  from ships  sailing  in  its  waters,  irrespective  of  th eir  flag.  This  relates  to 
discharges  of  oil  or  other  noxious  substances  from  vessels.  Minor  discharges  shall  not  automatically  be  considered  as  offences,  except  where 
repetition  leads  to  deterioration  in  the  quality  of  the  water.  The  persons  responsible  may  be  subject  to  criminal  penalties  i f  they  have  acted  with 
intent, recklessly or with serious negligence and the act of inciting, aiding and abetting a person to discharge a polluting substance may also lead to 
criminal penalties. 

The EU has adopted regulations requiring the use of low sulfur fuel. Currently, vessels are required to burn fuel with a sulfur content not exceeding 
1%. Beginning January 1, 2015, vessels are required to burn fuel with sulfur content not exceeding 0.1% while within EU member states‘ territorial 
seas, exclusive economic zones and pollution control zones that are included in SOX Emission Control Areas. Other jurisdictions have also adopted 
regulations requiring the use of low sulfur fuel. The California Air Resources Board (or CARB) requires vessels to burn fuel with 0.1% sulfur content 
or less within 24 nautical miles of California as of January 1, 2014. IMO regulations require that as of January 1, 2015, all vessels operating within 
Emissions  Control  Areas  (or  ECA)  worldwide  must  comply  with  0.1%  sulfur  requirements.  Currently,  the  only  grade  of  fuel  meeting  0.1%  sulfur 
content  requirement  is  low  sulfur  marine  gas  oil  (or  LSMGO). Currently,  the  only  grade  of  fuel  meeting  this  low  sulfur content  requirement  is  low 
sulfur marine gas oil (or LSMGO). Since July 1, 2010, the applicable sulfur content limits in the North Sea, the Baltic Sea and the English Channel 
sulfur control areas have been 0.1%. Certain modifications were completed on our Suezmax tankers in order to optimize operation on LSMGO of 
equipment originally designed to operate on Heavy Fuel Oil (or HFO), and to ensure our compliance with the Directive.  In addition, LSMGO is more 
expensive than HFO and this impacts the costs of operations. However, for vessels employed on fixed term business, all fuel c osts, 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 sulfur areas are able 
to comply with fuel requirements. 

North Sea and Brazil 

Our  shuttle  tankers  primarily  operate  in  the  North  Sea  and  Brazil.  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 Norway, the Norwegian Pollution Control Authority requires the installation of volatile organic compound emissions (or  VOC) reduction units on 
most  shuttle  tankers  serving  the  Norwegian  continental  shelf.  Customers  bear  the  cost  to  install  and  operate  the  VOC  equipment  on  board  the 
shuttle tankers. 

In Brazil, Petrobras serves in a regulatory capacity, and has adopted standards similar to those in the North Sea. 

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 charterers 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; 

29 

 
 
 
 
 

 

 

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 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 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 liabilit y 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. 

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 conduc t 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 U.S. 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 effluent limitations, best management practices, reporting, 
inspections and other requirements. The current Vessel General Permit was issued in December 2008 and expires on December 19, 2013. A new 
Vessel  General  Permit  was  issued  in  March  2013  and  will  become  effective  on  December  19,  2013.  In  addition  to  the  ballast  water  best 
management practices required under the 2008 Vessel General Permit, the 2013 Vessel General Permit contains numeric technology-based ballast 
water effluent limitations that will apply to certain commercial vessels with ballast water tanks. For certain existing vessels, the EPA has adopted a 
staggered implementation schedule to require vessels to meet the ballast water effluent limitations by the first drydocking after January 1, 2014 or 
January  1,  2016,  depending  on  the  vessel  size.  Vessels  that  are  constructed  after  December  1,  2013  are  subject  to  the  ballast  water  numeric 
effluent limitations immediately upon the effective date of the 2013 Vessel General Permit. 

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. The EPA issued a final revised Vessel General Permit in March 2013 with an effective date of December 19, 2013. 

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, 

30 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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  EU  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, EU, 
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.  Each  of  the  existing  vessels  in  our  fleet  currently  complies  with  the 
requirements of ISPS and Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (U.S. specific requirements) and regularly exercise these plans to ensure 
efficient use and familiarity by all involved. 

 C. Organizational Structure 

Our  organizational  structure  includes,  among  others,  our  interests  in  Teekay  Offshore,  Teekay  LNG  and  Teekay  Tankers,  which  ar e  our  publicly 
listed subsidiaries. We created  Teekay Offshore and Teekay  LNG primarily to  hold our assets that  generate long-term fixed-rate cash flows. The 
strategic rationale for establishing these two limited partnerships 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; and 

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. 

We also established Teekay Offshore, Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers to increase our access to capital to grow each of our businesses in the 
offshore, LNG, and conventional tanker markets. 

The following chart provides an overview of our organizational structure as at March 1, 2013. Please read Exhibit 8.1 to this Annual Report for a list 
of our significant subsidiaries as at March 1, 2013.

Including our 100% interest in Teekay Petrojarl. 

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. As of December 31, 2012, Teekay LNG operated a fleet of 27 LNG carriers, five LPG carriers, 10 conventional tankers 
and one product tanker. Teekay LNG‘s ownership interests in these vessels range from 33% to 100%. 

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, 2012, Teekay Offshore owned and operated a fleet of 38 shuttle tankers 
(including  four  chartered-in  vessels  and  four  newbuildings),  five  FSO  units,  seven  conventional  Aframax  tankers  and  three  FPSO  units.  Teekay 
Offshore‘s ownership interests in its owned vessels range from 50% to 100%. Most of Teekay Offshore‘s vessels operate under long-term, fixed-rate 
contracts. Pursuant to an omnibus agreement we entered into in connection with Teekay Offshore's initial public offering in 2006, we have agreed to 
offer to Teekay Offshore FPSO units that are servicing contracts in excess of three years in length.  

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  of  December  31,  2012,  Teekay  Tankers  owned  a  fleet  of  12  double-hull  Aframax  tankers,  ten 
double-hull Suezmax tankers,  six product tankers, one VLCC newbuilding and one in-chartered Aframax, all of which trade either in the spot tanker 
market or under short- or medium-term, fixed-rate time-charter contracts. Teekay Tankers owns 100% of its fleet, other than a 50% interest in the 
VLCC. Teekay Tankers‘ 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.  

We entered into an omnibus agreement with Teekay LNG, Teekay Offshore and related parties governing, among other things, when we, 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,  we  entered  into  a  non-competition  agreement  with  Teekay  Tankers,  which  provides  Teekay  Tankers  with  a  right  of  first 
refusal to participate in any future conventional crude oil tanker and product tanker opportunities developed by us for a period of three years from 
June 2012.

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),  legislative  history, 
applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations (or  Treasury Regulations), judicial authority and administrative interpretations,  all as in effect on 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. 

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 and 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  believe  that  we  have  not  earned  any  U.S.  Source  Domestic  Transportation  Income,  and  we  except  that  we  will  not  earn  any  such  income  in 
future  years.    However,  certain  of  our  subsidiaries  which  have  made  special  U.S.  tax  elections  to  be  treated  as  partnerships  or  disregarded  as 
entities separate from us for U.S. federal income tax purposes are potentially engaged in activities which could give rise to U.S. Source International 
Transportation  Income.  Unless  the  exemption  from  tax  under  Section  883  of  the  Code  (or  the  Section  883  Exemption)  applies,  our  U.S.  Source 
International Transportation Income generally will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation under either the net basis tax  and the branch profits tax 
or the 4% gross basis tax, all of which are discussed below. Certain of our other subsidiaries also are engaged in activities  which could give rise to 
U.S. Source International Transportation Income and rely on our ability to claim exemption under 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 profits 
taxes or 4% gross basis tax described below on its 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, among other things,  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  meets  one  of  three 
ownership  tests  described  in  the  Section  883  Regulations  (or  the  Ownership  Test),  and  it  meets  certain  substantiation,  reporting  and  other 
requirements (or the Substantiation 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.  We  also  believe  that  we  will  be  able  to  satisfy  the  Substantiation 
Requirements necessary to qualify for the Section 883 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  disregar ded  as  entities 
separate from us for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will be exempt from U.S. federal income taxation provided we satisfy the Ownership Test. 
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 Section 883 of the Code and the Section 883 Regulations. We can give no assurance, however, that 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.  

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 income derived from bareboat charters, is attributable to a fixed place 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 derived from 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. 

33 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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  Effective ly  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% 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 2013, 
we estimate that, if the Section 883 Exemption and the net basis tax did not apply, the U.S. federal income tax on such U.S. Source International 
Transportation  Income  would  be  approximately  $1.5  million.    In  addition,  we  estimate  that  certain  of  our  subsidiaries  that  are  unable  to  claim the 
Section  883  Exemption  were  subject  to  less  than  $400,000  in  the  aggregate  of  U.S.  federal  income  tax  on  the  U.S.  source  portion  of  their  U.S. 
Source International Transportation Income for 2013 and we estimate that these subsidiaries will be subject to less than $400,000 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

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  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. (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 
our  100%  ownership  interest  in  Teekay  Petrojarl  AS  (or  Teekay  Petrojarl),  and  the  continuation  of  our  conventional  tanker  business  through  our 
publicly listed subsidiary Teekay Tankers Ltd. (or  Teekay Tankers). We are responsible for managing and  operating  a fleet  of approximately 170 
liquefied  gas,  offshore,  and  conventional  tanker  assets  with  a  combined  carrying  value  of  over  $11  billion.  With  offices  in  16  count ries  and 
approximately 6,400 seagoing and shore-based employees, Teekay provides a comprehensive set of marine services to the world‘s leading oil and 
gas companies, and its reputation for safety, quality and innovation has earned it a position with its customers as The Marine Midstream Company.  

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS IN 2012 AND EARLY 2013 

Sale of Vessels to Teekay Tankers 

In  June  2012,  we  sold  to  Teekay  Tankers  a  fleet  of  13  double-hull  conventional  oil  and  product  tankers  and  related  time-charter  contracts,  debt 
facilities  and  other  assets  and  rights,  for  an  aggregate  purchase  price  of  approximately  $454.2  million.  As  partial  consideration  for  the  sale,  we 
received  $25  million  worth  of  newly  issued  shares  of  Teekay  Tankers‘  Class  A  common  stock,  issued  at  a  price  of  $5.60  per  share,  and  the 
remaining amount was settled through a combination of a cash payment to us and the assumption by Teekay Tankers of existing debt secured by 
the acquired vessels. As a result, our economic interest in Teekay Tankers increased from approximately 20.4% to approximately 25.1% and our 
voting interest as a result of our combined ownership of Class A and Class B shares increased from approximately 51% to approximately 53%. As 
part  of  this  transaction,  we  entered  into  a  non-competition  agreement  with  Teekay  Tankers,  which  provides  Teekay  Tankers  with  a  right  of  first 
refusal to participate in any future conventional crude oil tanker and product tanker opportunities developed by us for a period of three years from 
the closing date of the transaction.

Acquisition of LNG carriers by Teekay LNG 

In February 2012, Teekay LNG and the Marubeni Corporation (or Marubeni) acquired, through a joint venture (or the  Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint 
Venture), 100% ownership interests in six liquefied natural gas (or  LNG) carriers (or the  MALT  LNG Carriers) from Denmark-based A.P. Moeller-
Maersk A/S (or Maersk) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.3 billion. Teekay LNG and Marubeni have 52% and 48% respective 
economic interests, but share control of the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture. Four of the six MALT LNG Carriers are currently operating under 
long-term, fixed-rate time-charter contracts, with an average remaining firm contract period of approximately 17 years, plus extension options. The 
other  two  vessels  are  currently  operating  under  medium-term,  fixed-rate  time-charters  with  an  average  remaining  firm  contract  period  of 
approximately four years. Since control of the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture is shared jointly between Teekay LNG and  Marubeni, Teekay 
LNG has accounted for the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture using the equity method.  

The Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture financed approximately $1.06 billion of the purchase price for the MALT LNG Carriers with secured loan  
facilities,  and  an  aggregate  $266  million  from  equity  contributions  from  Teekay  LNG  and  Marubeni.    Teekay  LNG  agreed  to  guarantee  Teekay 
LNG‘s 52% share of the secured loan facilities of the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture and as a result, deposited $30 million in a restricted cash 
account  as  security.  Teekay  LNG‘s  52%  share  of  the  equity  contribution  was  approximately  $138  million.  Teekay  LNG  financed  this  equity 
contribution by drawing on its existing credit facilities. Teekay provides technical management of the acquired vessels. 

Recent Offshore Business Developments 

In November 2011, we agreed to acquire from Sevan Marine ASA (Sevan) the Voyageur Spirit (formerly known as the Sevan Voyageur) FPSO unit 
upon the completion of certain upgrades.  In June 2012, we offered the Voyageur Spirit to Teekay Offshore for a purchase price of approximately 
$540  million.  In  September 2012,  we  entered  into  an  agreement  to  sell,  subject  to  certain  conditions,  the  Voyageur  Spirit  to  Teekay  Offshore  for 
such price following its commencement of operations under a long-term charter contract with E.ON Ruhrgas UK E&P Limited (or E.ON). Operations 
commenced under the charter in April 2013 after the FPSO unit produced ―first oil‖ in the North Sea‘s Huntington Field. The charter contract has an 
initial term of five years, with up to 10 one-year extension options exercisable by E.ON., subject to certain conditions. Teekay Offshore intends to 
pay the $540 million purchase price for the Voyageur Spirit through (a) the proceeds from its September 2012 equity public offering (b) the issuance 
by Teekay Offshore to us of $40 million of its common units (priced at the same price per unit to the public as units issued in the September 2012 
public  offering)  and  (c)  assumption  of  a  new  $330  million  debt  facility  secured  by  the  asset.  Conditions  to  the  closing  of  Teekay  Offshore's 
acquisition of the unit include, among others, Teekay Offshore obtaining financing and that we have acquired the Voyageur Spirit and related assets 
pursuant to the terms of our acquisition agreement with Sevan. In February 2013, Teekay Offshore made a partial prepayment of $150.0 million to 
us in connection the acquisition of the Voyageur Spirit FPSO unit. We will pay Teekay Offshore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 4.25% 
per  annum  on  the  prepaid  funds.  We  are  obligated  to  repay  Teekay  Offshore  the  full  amount  of  the  prepaid  funds,  plus  accrued  interest,  if  the 
acquisition does not close before April 30, 2013.  

In January 2012, we sold the assets related to the Tiro and Sidon FPSO project, including the then partially constructed  Cidade de Itajai FPSO unit, 
and  the  related  customer  contracts,  to  OOG-TKP  FPSO  GmbH  &  Co  KG,  a  50/50  joint  venture  between  us  and  Odebrecht  Oil  &  Gas  S.A.,  for 
approximately $179 million. The joint venture financed the purchase price 80% with borrowings under a new $300 million debt facility secured by the 
FPSO unit and the balance with pro rata equity contributions by each of the joint venture partners. The FPSO unit was delivered from the shipyard in 
Singapore in November 2012 and was transitioned to Brazil. The FPSO unit achieved first oil in February 2013, at which time the unit commenced 
operations  under  a  nine-year,  fixed-rate  time-charter  contract  with  Petroleo  Brasileiro  S.A.  (or  Petrobras),  with  six  additional  one-year  extension 
options exercisable by Petrobras.  In April 2013, pursuant to our omnibus agreement with Teekay Offshore, Teekay LNG and others, we offered to 
Teekay Offshore our 50% interest in this FPSO project at our fully built-up cost. 

In November 2012, Teekay Offshore agreed to acquire a 2010-built HiLoad Dynamic Positioning (DP) unit from Remora AS (or Remora), a Norway-
based offshore marine technology company, for a total purchase price of approximately $55 million including modification cost s. The HiLoad DP unit 
is a self-propelled dynamic positioning system that attaches to and keeps conventional tankers in position when loading from offshore installations.  
The transaction is subject to finalizing a ten-year time-charter contract with Petrobras in Brazil.  The acquisition of the HiLoad DP unit is expected to 
be  completed  in  the  second  quarter  of  2013  and  the  unit  is  expected  to  commence  operating  at  its  full  time-charter  rate  in  early  2014  once 
modifications, delivery of the DP unit to Brazil, and operational testing have  been completed.  As part of the transaction, we have  also agreed to 
invest  approximately  $4.4  million  to  acquire  a  49.9%  ownership  interest  in  a recapitalized  Remora.    In  addition,  Teeky  Offshore  will  enter  into  an 
agreement with Remora which will provide Teekay Offshore with the right of first refusal to acquire future HiLoad projects developed by Remora. 

In January 2013, Teekay Offshore signed a letter of intent with Salamander Energy plc to supply an FSO unit in Asia for a firm charter period of ten 
years commencing in mid-2014.  For this contract, Teekay Offshore intends to convert its 1993-built shuttle tanker the Navion Clipper into an FSO 
unit for an estimated cost of approximately $50 million. Teekay Offshore is in the process of finalizing the contract terms with the charterer. 

Private Placement by Teekay Offshore 

In April 2013, Teekay Offshore  issued 2.06 million common units in a private placement to  an  institutional investor for proceeds of approximately 
$60.0  million,  excluding  the  General  Partner‘s  2%  proportionate  capital  contribution  of  $1.2  million.  Upon  completion  of  the  private  placement, 
Teekay Offshore had 83.8 million common units outstanding. Teekay Offshore will use the proceeds from the issuance of common  units to partially 
finance the shipyard instalments for the four Suezmax newbuilding shuttle tankers that are scheduled for deliveries throughout 2013, and for general 
corporate  purposes.  As  a  result  of  this  private  placement,  our  ownership  of  Teekay  Offshore  was  reduced  to  28.7%  (including  our  2%  general 
partner  interest).  We  maintain  control  of  Teekay  Offshore  by  virtue  of  our  control  of  the  general  partner  and  will  continue  to  consolidate  the 
subsidiary. 

Public Offering of Preferred Units by Teekay Offshore 

In April 2013, Teekay Offshore issued 6.0 million preferred units in a public offering for net proceeds of $144.9 million, representing a new class of 
limited  partner  interests.  Teekay  Offshore  expects  to  use  the  net  proceeds  from the  public  offering  for  general  corporate  pur poses,  including  the 
funding  of  newbuilding  installments,  capital  conversion  projects  and  the  acquisitions  of  vessels  we  may  offer  to  Teekay  Offshore.  Pending  the 
application of funds for these purposes, Teekay Offshore expects to repay a portion of its outstanding debt under two of its revolving credit facilities.

OTHER SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS AND DEVELOPMENTS 

Four Long Range 2 Product Tanker Newbuildings 

In April 2013, Teekay Tankers entered into agreement with STX Offshore & Shipbuilding Co., Ltd (or  STX) of South Korea for the construction of 
four, fuel-efficient 113,000 dead-weight tonne (or dwt) Long Range 2 (or LR2) product tanker newbuidings for a fully built up cost of approximately 
$47  million  each.    The  agreement  with  STX  also  includes  fixed-price  options  for  the  construction  up  to  12  additional  LR2  newbuildings,  which 
options expire between October 2013 and October 2014.  Upon delivery, it is expected that the four vessels will operate in our Taurus Tankers LR2 
Pool.  Teekay Tankers intends to finance the installment payments with its existing liquidity and expects to secure long-term debt financing for the 
four vessels prior to their scheduled deliveries in late-2015 and early-2016. Please read ―Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 25 (c) – Subsequent 
Events.‖ 

Exmar LPG Joint Venture 

On  February  12,  2013,  Teekay  LNG  entered  into  a  joint  venture  agreement  with  Belgium-based  Exmar  NV  (or  Exmar)  to  own  and  charter-in 
liquefied  petroleum  gas  (or  LPG)  carriers  with  a  primary  focus  on  the  mid-size  gas  carrier  segment.  The  joint  venture  entity,  called  Exmar  LPG 
BVBA,  took  economic  effect  as  of  November  1,  2012  and  includes  16  owned  LPG  carriers (including  four  newbuildings  scheduled  f or  delivery  in 
2014)  and  five  chartered-in  LPG  carriers.  In  addition,  the  joint  venture  recently  ordered  another  four  medium-size  gas  carrier  newbuildings  with 
deliveries  scheduled  between  2015  and  2016,  with  options  to  order  up  to  four  additional  vessels,  which  brings  the  total  fleet   size  of  Exmar  LPG 
BVBA  to  25  vessels,  excluding  options.  For  its  50%  ownership  interest  in  the  joint  venture,  including  newbuilding  payments  made  prior  to  the 
November  1,  2012  economic  effective  date  of  the  joint  venture,  Teekay  LNG  invested  approximately  $134  million  of  equity  and  assumed 
approximately  $108  million  of  its  pro  rata  share  of  the  existing  debt  and  lease  obligations  as  of  the  economic  effective  date,  secured  by  certain 
vessels in the Exmar LPG BVBA fleet. Exmar will continue to commercially and technically manage and operate the vessels. Since control of Exmar 
LPG BVBA will be shared jointly between Exmar and Teekay LNG, Teekay LNG expects to account for Exmar LPG BVBA using the equity method. 

Two LNG Newbuildings 

In December 2012, Teekay LNG entered into an agreement with Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd. (or DSME) of South Korea for 
the construction of two 173,400 cubic meter LNG carrier newbuildings, with options to order up to three additional vessels. Teekay LNG intends to 
secure  long-term  contract  employment  for  both  vessels  prior  to  their  scheduled  deliveries  in  the  first  half  of  2016.  The  newbuildings  will  be 
constructed with M-type, Electronically Controlled, Gas Injection (or  MEGI) twin engines, which are expected to be significantly more fuel-efficient 
and  have  lower  emission  levels  than  other  engines  currently  being  utilized  in  LNG  shipping.  The  contract  with  DSME  includes  a  favorable 
installment  payment  schedule,  with  the  majority  of  the  purchase  price  due  upon  delivery.  Teekay  LNG  paid  $38.6  million  on  the   first  installment 
payment and intends to finance the future installment payments during construction with a portion of its existing liquidity, which was approximately 
$495.0  million  as  of  December 31,  2012.  Teekay  LNG  expects  to  secure  long-term  debt  financing  for  the  two  vessels  prior  to  their  scheduled 
delivery. 

Storm Damage to Banff FPSO Unit 

On December 7, 2011, the Petrojarl Banff FPSO unit (or  Banff), which operates on the Banff field in the U.K. sector of the North Sea, suffered a 
severe storm event and sustained damage to its moorings, turret and subsea equipment, which necessitated the shutdown of production on the unit. 
Due to the damage, we declared force majeure under the customer contract on December 8, 2011 and the Banff FPSO unit commenced a period of 
off-hire which is currently expected to continue until the fourth quarter of 2013 while repairs are assessed and completed.  We do not have off-hire 
insurance covering the Banff FPSO. After the repairs and upgrades are completed, the  Banff FPSO unit is expected to resume production on the 
Banff field, where it is expected to remain under contract until the end of 2018. 

We expect that repair costs to the  Banff FPSO  unit and equipment and costs associated with the  emergency response to prevent loss or further 
damage during the December 7, 2011 storm event will be primarily reimbursed through  our insurance coverage subject to a $750,000 deductible 
and the other terms and conditions of the applicable policies. In addition, we will also incur certain capital upgrade costs  for the Banff FPSO unit and 
the  Apollo  Spirit  related  to  upgrades  to  the  mooring  system  required  by  the  relevant  regulatory  authorities  due  in  part  to  new  metocean  and 
environmental data and other safety considerations. The Apollo Spirit was operating on the Banff field as a storage tanker and is expected to return 
to the Banff field at the same time as the Banff FPSO. The total of these capital upgrade costs is expected to amount to approximately $90 million. 
The recovery of the capital upgrade costs from the charterer is subject to commercial negotiations or, failing agreement, the responsibility for these 
costs  will  be  determined  by  an  expedited  arbitration  procedure  already  agreed  by  the  parties.  Any  capital  upgrade  costs  not  r ecovered  from  the 
charterer will be capitalized to the vessel cost.  

Vessel Impairments 

In  2012,  19  conventional  tankers  were  written  down  to  their  estimated  fair  value  using  an  appraised  value  in  a  substantial  ma jority  of  the  cases, 
resulting  in  a  total  write  down  of  $405.3  million  within  the  conventional  tanker  segment.  This  write  down  included  ten  Suezmax  tankers  ($335.0 
million),  seven  Aframax  tankers  ($66.0  million),  and  two  other  conventional  tankers  ($4.3  million).  When  comparing  seven  of  the  ten  Suezmax 
tankers to each other and when comparing four of the seven Aframax tankers to each other, the vessels have a similar age, had a similar carrying 
value and a similar estimated fair value, and are all being employed in the spot market or on short term time-charters. The total write down of $405.3 
million includes $350.2 million from these eleven vessels. The primary factors that caused the write downs were a negative change in the outlook for 
the crude tanker market, a delay in the expected timing of a recovery of the crude tanker market as well as the expected discrimination impact from 
more fuel efficient vessels being constructed.   One of the seven Aframax tankers was held for sale at December 31, 2012 and was subsequently 
sold in January 2013.   

In 2012, four older shuttle tankers and one FSO unit were  written down to their estimated fair value using an appraised value, resulting in a total 
write down of $28.8 million within the shuttle tanker and FSO segment. The write downs were the result of us entering into agreements in the fourth 
quarter of 2012 to sell two shuttle tankers and a change in the operating plans for the remaining vessels.

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. 

Voyage Expenses. Voyage expenses 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. Voyage expenses are typically paid by the customer under ti me-charters and 
FPSO 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.  The  two  largest 
components  of  our  vessel  operating  expenses  are  crew  costs  and  repairs  and  maintenance.  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.  

Dry  docking.  We  must  periodically  dry  dock  each  of  our  vessels  for  inspection,  repairs  and  maintenance  and  any  modifications  to  comply  wit h 
industry certification or governmental requirements. Generally, we dry dock 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  carriers  between  the 
second and third year of the five-year dry docking period. We capitalize a substantial portion of the costs incurred during dry docking and for the 
survey and amortize those costs on a straight-line basis from the completion of a dry docking or intermediate survey over the estimated useful life of 
the dry dock. We expense as incurred costs for routine repairs and maintenance performed during dry dockings that do not improve or extend the 
useful  lives  of  the  assets  and  annual  class  survey  costs  for  our  FPSO  units.  The  number  of  dry  dockings  undertaken  in  a  given   period  and  the 
nature of the work performed determine the level of dry docking 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 dry docking expenditures over the useful life of the dry dock; 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 
off-hire  days  during  the  period  associated  with  major  repairs,  dry  dockings  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  three  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.  In  December  2011,  the  capital  lease  on  one  of  the  four  LNG  carriers 
expired and the purchase obligation was fully funded with restricted cash deposits. 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  a mount  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. 

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. 

Vessel  operating  and  other  costs  are  facing  industry-wide  cost  pressures. The  shipping  industry  continues  to  experience  a  global 
manpower  shortage  of  qualified  seafarers  due  to  growth  in  the  world  fleet,  which  in  recent  years  has  resulted  in  upward  press ure  on 
manning costs.  Lately, the gap between demand and supply of officers has narrowed, which has allowed at least on a temporary basis, 
for  wages  in  certain  sectors  to  stabilize  or  have  smaller  increases  than  has  previously  been  the  case.   Going  forward,  there  may  be 
increases  in  crew  compensation  as  vessel  and  officer  supply  dynamics  continue  to  change.   In  addition,  factors  such  as  pressure  on 
commodity  and  raw  material  prices,  as  well  as  changes  in  regulatory  requirements  could  also  contribute  to  operating  expenditure 
increases.  We continue to take action aimed at improving operational efficiencies, and to temper the effect of inflationary and other price 
escalations, however increases to operational costs are still likely to occur in the future.  

  Our net income is affected by fluctuations in the fair value of our derivative instruments. 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  derivative  instruments  are  economic  hedges,  the  changes  in  their  fair  value  are  included  in  our  statements  of  loss  as 
unrealized gains or losses on non-designated derivatives. The changes in fair value do not affect our cash flows or liquidity.  

 

The amount and timing of dry dockings of our vessels can affect our revenues between periods.  Our vessels are off hire at various 
times  due  to  scheduled  and  unscheduled  maintenance.  During  2012  and  2011  we  incurred  358  and  617  off-hire  days  relating  to  dry 
docking, respectively.  The financial impact from these periods  of off-hire, if material, is explained in further detail below in "—Results of 
Operations‖. Twenty-one of our vessels are scheduled for dry docking during 2013.   

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 foc uses 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.

Shuttle Tanker and FSO Segment 

Our shuttle tanker and floating storage and offtake (or FSO) segment (which includes our Teekay Shuttle and Offshore business unit) includes our 
shuttle tankers and FSO units. As at December 31, 2012, our shuttle tanker fleet consisted of 32 vessels that operate under fixed-rate contracts of 
affreightment, time charters and bareboat charters. Of the 32 shuttle tankers, six were owned through 50% owned subsidiaries  of Teekay Offshore, 
three  through  a  67%  owned  subsidiary  of  Teekay  Offshore  and  four  were  chartered-in  by  Teekay  Offshore,  with  the  remainder  owned  100%  by 
Teekay  Offshore.  Our  FSO  fleet  consists  of  four  vessels  owned  by  Teekay  Offshore  that  operate  under  fixed-rate  time  charters  or  fixed-rate 
bareboat charters. We have 100% ownership interests in these units. We also have four newbuilding shuttle tankers on order which are scheduled 
to  deliver  in  mid-to  late-2013.  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  fi eld  installations, 
primarily in the North Sea and Brazil. Our shuttle tankers in this segment 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:

The average size of our shuttle tanker and FSO segment fleet decreased for the  year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the prior year. The 
decrease was primarily due to the sale of the Navion Fennia in July 2012 and Navion Savonita in November 2012, the redelivery of one bareboat-in 
vessel to its owner in October 2011, decreased spot in-chartering of vessels, and the sale of the  Karratha Spirit FSO unit in March 2011, partially 
offset by the delivery of two newbuilding shuttle tankers, the Peary Spirit and the Scott Spirit, in May 2011 and July 2011, respectively (or the 2011 
Newbuilding Shuttle Tanker Acquisitions). Included in calendar-ship-days are two owned shuttle tankers which have been in lay-up since July 2011 
and May 2012 following their redelivery to us upon termination of their time-charter-out contracts in March 2011 and April 2012. 

Net Revenues. Net revenues decreased to $509.0 million for 2012, from $516.0 million for 2011, primarily due to: 

 

 

 

 

a decrease of $11.6 million due to the lay-up of two vessels since July 2011 and May 2012 following their redeliveries in March 2011 and 
April 2012 after completion of their time-charter agreements; 

a decrease of $3.6 million due to more repair off-hire days in our time-chartered-out fleet in 2012 as compared to 2011; 

a decrease of $3.2 million due to lower revenues related to the sale of the Karratha Spirit;  

a decrease of $3.1 million due to fewer opportunities to trade excess shuttle tanker capacity in the conventional spot tanker market and in 
short-term offshore projects due to decreased demand for conventional crude transportation; and 

 

a decrease of $2.3 million due to the dry docking of the Navion Saga during the third quarter of 2012; 

partially offset by 

  a net increase of $11.0 million due to an increase in our contract of affreightment fleet, and an increase in revenues in our time-chartered-
out fleet from entering into new contracts and an increase in rates as provided  in certain contracts, partially offset by fewer revenue days 
from the redelivery of six vessels to us in March 2011, July 2011, February 2012, April 2012, and two in November 2012 as they completed 
their time-charter-out agreements; and 

  an increase of $5.5 million from customer-paid engineering studies completed to support our FSO tenders. 

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses decreased to $175.5 million for 2012, from $196.5 million for 2011, primarily due to: 

  a  decrease  of  $10.6  million  relating  to  the  lay-up  of  two  of  our  shuttle  tankers  since  July  2011  and  May  2012  and  the  reduction  of  costs 

associated with the sale of two of our shuttle tankers in July 2012 and November 2012; 

  a decrease of $7.1 million due to decrease in costs related to services and spares and the number of vessels dry docked. Certain repair 
and  maintenance  items  are  more  efficient  to  complete  while  a  vessel  is  in  dry  dock.  Consequently,  repair  and  maintenance  costs  will 
typically increase in periods when there is an increase in the number of vessels dry docked; 

  a decrease of $5.9 million for crew changes and manning costs as compared to the same periods last year primarily from a change in crew 

composition and reduced helicopter usage; 

  a decrease of $4.5 million relating to the redelivery of one of our bareboat in-chartered vessels to its owner in October 2011;  

  a decrease of $1.8 million related to the sale of the Karratha Spirit in March 2011; and 

39 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  a decrease of $1.3 million relating to a decrease in start-up costs associated with less short-term offshore projects;  

partially offset by 

  an increase of $7.3 million due to expenditures on projects completed to support our FSO tenders; and 

  an increase of $4.3 million due to the 2011 Newbuilding Shuttle Tanker Acquisitions. 

Time-Charter Hire Expense. Time-charter hire expense decreased to $57.0 million for 2012, from $74.5 million for 2011 primarily due to: 

  decrease of $8.7 million due to the redelivery of one bareboat in-chartered vessel to its owner in October 2011; and 

  decrease of $7.8 million due to decreased spot in-chartering of vessels as a result of increased capacity available from our owned fleet. 

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $125.1 million for 2012, from $129.3 million for 2011, 
primarily related to sale of two shuttle tankers in 2012, lower depreciation relating to the impairment and write-down of two older shuttle tankers in 
2011  to  fair  value  and  the  write-down  of  the  carrying  value  of  the  FSO  unit  Navion  Saga  to  its  fair  value  in  December  2011,  partially  offset  by 
accelerated  depreciation  related  to  a  reduction  of  the  estimated  useful  life  of  six  older  shuttle  tankers  as  well  as  the  2011  Newbuilding  Shuttle 
Tanker Acquisitions. 

Asset  Impairments.  Asset  impairments  of  vessels  was  $28.8  million  for  2012,  resulting  from the  impairment  of  four  older  shuttle  tankers  and  one 
FSO unit. The write downs were the result of the Company entering into agreements in the fourth quarter of 2012 to sell two s huttle tankers and a 
change in the operating plans for the remaining vessels. Write down of vessels was $43.2 million for 2011, resulting from the impairment of three 
shuttle tankers, all of which were 20-years old in 2012, and one FSO unit. These vessels carrying values were written down to their estimated fair 
value. 

Net loss on sale of vessels. Loss on sale of vessels was $1.1 million for 2012 relating to the sale of two 1992-built shuttle tankers. We sold one FSO 
unit in March 2011 which resulted in a loss of $0.2 million. 

Restructuring  Charges.  Restructuring  charges  were  $0.7  million  for  2012,  resulting  from  a  reorganization  of  marine  operations  to  create  better 
alignment  within  the  shuttle  tanker  business  unit  to create  a  reduced-cost  organization  going  forward.  The  restructuring  charges  in  the  prior  year 
were $5.4 million and related to the termination of employment of certain crew members following the sale of an FSO unit,  Karratha Spirit and the 
termination of the time-charter for the shuttle tanker Basker Spirit. 

FPSO Segment  

Our  floating,  production,  storage  and  offloading  (or  FPSO)  segment  (which  includes  our  Teekay  Petrojarl  business  unit)  includes  the  FPSO  units 
and  other vessels used to service our FPSO contracts. As at  December 31, 2012, in addition to the four 100%  owned FPSO units and the three 
FPSO units owned by Teekay Offshore, the FPSO segment had one FPSO unit under construction, scheduled to deliver in the first half of 2014, a 
50% interest in one FPSO unit which commenced its charter contract in February 2013 after achieving first oil, and accounted for one FPSO unit 
which will be acquired in the second quarter of 2013 as a variable interest entity (or VIE). 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 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  our 
offshore oil platforms, which generally reduce oil production.  

The following table presents our FPSO segment‘s operating results for 2012 and 2011 and also provides a summary of the calendar-ship-days for 
our FPSO segment:

The number of calendar days for our FPSO units for 2012 increased from last year due to our acquisition of the Hummingbird Spirit FPSO unit and 
the  acquisition  of  Piranema  Spirit  FPSO  unit  by  Teekay  Offshore  from Sevan  during  the  fourth  quarter  of  2011  (or  the  Sevan  Acquisitions).   We 
agreed to acquire from Sevan the Voyageur Spirit upon completion of certain upgrades (which will be acquired in the second quarter of 2013). The

"Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 3(a) – Acquisitions – FPSO Units and Investment in Sevan Marine ASA." 

Revenues. Revenues increased to $581.2 million for 2012, from $464.8 million for 2011 primarily due to: 

 

 

 

 

an increase of $161.4 million due to the Sevan Acquisitions;  

an increase of $20.8 million due to revenue recognized on the completion of a front end engineering and design study; 

an  increase  of  $6.7  million  due  to  the  recovery  of  crew  and  manning  costs.  In  2011,  these  recoveries  were  reported  on  a  net  basis  in 
vessel operating expenses; and 

an increase of $5.6 million due to increased rates on the Rio das Ostras FPSO unit and Petrojarl Varg FPSO unit in accordance with the 
annual contractual escalation adjustments;  

partially offset by 

 

 

 

 

 

a  decrease  of  $50.1  million  due  the  weather-related  incident  in  December  2011  with  the  Petrojarl  Banff  FPSO  unit  resulting  in  the  unit 
being off hire during 2012; 

a  decrease  of  $23.4  million  due  to  a  shutdown  for  Petrojarl  Foinaven  in  mid-August  2012  and  lower  revenues  associated  with  annual 
performance targets; 

a decrease of $3.5 million relating to payments during 2011 to us for services previously rendered  to the charterer of the Rio das Ostras 
FPSO unit;  

a  decrease  of  $3.5  million  due  to  decreased  incentives  earned  and  lower  production  on  the  Petrojarl  Varg  and  a  planned  maintenance 
shutdown during the second quarter of 2012; and 

a decrease of $2.0 million due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against the Norwegian Kroner. 

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased to $331.1 million for 2012, from $242.3 million for 2011, primarily due to: 

 

 

 

 

an increase of $95.5 million due to the Sevan Acquisitions; and 

an increase of $20.8 million due to costs recognized on the completion of a Front End Engineering and Design study; 

an increase of $5.1 million due to the recovery of certain crew and manning costs, where the recovery is reported  in revenue in 2012. In 
2011, these recoveries were reported on a net basis in vessel operating expenses; and 

an increase of $2.7 million due to higher maintenance costs relating to the Petrojarl Varg during the third quarter of 2012;  

partially offset by 

 

 

 

a decrease of $26.6 million due to the off-hire of the Petrojarl Banff FPSO unit as a result of the December 2011 weather-related incident; 

a decrease of $4.0 million due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against the Norwegian Kroner compared to 2011;  

a decrease of $4.8 million due to repairs on the Rio das Ostras FPSO unit while on yard stay and higher consumables and spares during 
the first quarter of 2011 and lower crew and manning costs relating to its deployment to the field during the second quarter of 2011; and 

 

a decrease of $3.3 million due to lower repair and maintenance costs on the Petrojarl I FPSO unit. 

Depreciation and Amortization  Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $135.4 million for  2012, from $96.9 million for 2011 
primarily due to the Sevan Acquisitions. 

Gain on Sale of Vessels and Equipment. Gain on sale of vessels and equipment for 2011 relates to a gain on sale of equipment related to the Tiro 
and Sidon project. 

Bargain purchase gain. In connection with the acquisition of FPSO units by us and Teekay Offshore from Sevan and our 40% equity investment in 
Sevan,  we  recognized  a  final  bargain  purchase  gain  on  acquisition  of  $68.5  million.  Please  read  "Item  18.  Financial  Statement s—Note  3a: 
Acquisition of FPSO Units from and Investment in Sevan Marine ASA." 

Liquefied Gas Segment 

Our liquefied gas segment (which includes our Teekay Gas Services business unit) consists of 27 liquefied natural gas (or  LNG) (in which Teekay 
LNG‘s  interests  ranged  from  33%  to  100%)  and  five  liquefied  petroleum  gas  (or  LPG)  carriers  subject  to  long-term,  fixed-rate  time-charter 
contracts.  Teekay LNG‘s partial interests in LNG carriers included their 33% interest in the four Angola LNG Carriers, their 40% interest in Teekay 
Nakilat (III) Corporation, which owns the four RasGas 3 LNG Carriers, their 50% interest in their joint ventures with Exmar NV (or  the Excalibur and 
Excelsior Joint Venture), which own two LNG carriers (or the Excalibur and Excelsior LNG Carriers), their 52% interest in the Teekay LNG-Marubeni 
Joint Venture, which owns the six MALT LNG Carriers, their 69% interest in the Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture (or  Teekay BLT Corporation), which 
owns the Tangguh Hiri and the Tangguh Sago (or the Tangguh LNG Carriers), their 70% interest in Teekay Nakilat Corporation (or Teekay Nakilat), 
which is the lessee under 30-year capital lease arrangements relating to three LNG carriers (or the  RasGas II LNG Carriers), their 99% interest in 
the Arctic Spirit and Polar Spirit LNG carriers (or the Kenai LNG Carriers) and their 99% interest in five LPG/Multigas carriers. The table below only

Our  total  calendar-ship-days  increased  by  14.2%  for  2012,  compared  to  2011,  primarily  as  a  result  of  the  delivery  of  two  multigas  carriers,  the 
Norgas  Unikum,  on  June  15,  2011,  and  the  Norgas  Vision,  on  October  17,  2011,  and  the  delivery  of  an  LPG  carrier,  the  Norgas  Camilla,  on 
September 15, 2011 (collectively, the 2011 Gas Carrier Deliveries).  

Net Revenues. Net revenues increased to $286.0 million for 2012, from $267.2 million for 2011, primarily due to: 

 

 

 

an increase of $12.4 million from the Arctic Spirit and Polar Spirit due to the increase in hire rates under new charter contracts signed in 
April 2011 and less off-hire of the vessels in 2012 compared to 2011;  

an increase of $9.8 million due to the 2011 Gas Carrier Deliveries;  

an increase of $1.6 million due to operating expense recovery adjustments under charter provisions and increases in the charter-hire rates 
for the Tangguh Hiri and Tangguh Sago at the beginning of 2012; and 

 

an increase of $0.8 million  due to one additional calendar day during 2012;  

partially offset by 

 

 

 

a decrease of $4.2 million due to the effect on our Euro-denominated revenues from the weakening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar in 
2012 compared to 2011; 

a decrease of $1.4 million due to the Hispania Spirit being off-hire for 21 days in the second quarter of 2012 for a scheduled dry docking; 
and 

a decrease of $0.5 million related to payments in 2012 and 2011 for delaying the scheduled dry docking if the Galicia Spirit in 2012 and the 
Catalunya Spirit in 2011.  

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses decreased to $46.0 million for 2012, from $48.2 million for 2011, primarily due to: 

 

 

a decrease of $1.5 million primarily due to the effect on our Euro-denominated crew manning expenses from the weakening of the Euro 
against  the  U.S.  Dollar  during  2012  compared  to  2011  (a  portion  of  our  vessel  operating  expenses  are  denominated  in  Euros,  which  is 
primarily due to the nationality of our crew); and  

a decrease of $0.9 million due to the cancellation of loss of hire insurance on Tangguh Hiri and Tangguh Sago in the third quarter of 2011 
and lower insurance premiums on certain LNG carriers. 

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased to $69.1 million for 2012, from $63.6 million for 2011, primarily due to: 

 

an  increase  of  $3.3  million  primarily  due  to  amortization  of  dry-dock  expenditures  incurred  in  2011  and  the  first  and  second  quarters  of 
2012; and 



Our  conventional  tanker  segment  consists  of  conventional  crude  oil  and  product  tankers  that  (i)  are  subject  to  long-term,  fixed-rate  time-charter 
contracts (which have an original term of one year or more), (ii) operate in the spot tanker market, or (iii) 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). 

a)  Fixed-Rate Tanker Sub-Segment 

Our fixed-rate tanker sub-segment, a subset of our conventional tanker segment (which includes our Teekay Gas Services, Teekay Shuttle Offshore 
and  Teekay  Tankers  Services  business  units),  includes  conventional  crude  oil  and  product  tankers  on  fixed-rate  time  charters  with  an  original 
duration of more than one year.  Teekay Tankers also has a 50% interest in a VLCC under construction that is scheduled for delivery in the second 
quarter of 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

estimated use of corporate resources. For further discussion, please read ―Other Operating Results – General and Administrative Expenses.‖ 

The average fleet size of our fixed-rate tanker sub-segment (including vessels chartered-in), as measured by calendar-ship-days, decreased in 2012 
compared with the same periods last year due to: 

 

 

the transfer of net four Aframax tankers and two Suezmax tankers to the spot-rate tanker sub-segment; and 

the redeliveries of one Suezmax tanker, one VLCC and one MR product tanker; 

partially offset by 

 

the addition of a bareboat-in MR product tanker during 2011. 

The collective impact from the above noted fleet changes are referred to below as the Net Fleet Reductions. 

Net Revenues. Net revenues decreased to $305.9 million for 2012, from $365.4 million for 2011, primarily due to: 

 

 

a decrease of $58.5 million due to the Net Fleet Reductions; and 

a net decrease of $5.0 million from renewed time-charter out contracts at a lower rates for certain of our Aframax and Suezmax tankers 
during 2012; 

partially offset by 

 

 

 

a  net  increase  of  $1.4  million  due  to  adjustments  to  the  daily  charter  rates  based  on  inflation  and  an  increase  in  interest  rates  in 
accordance  with  the  time-charter  contracts  for  five  Suezmax  tankers  (however,  under  the  terms  of  the  related  capital  leases,  we  had 
corresponding increases in our lease payments, which are reflected as increases to interest expense; therefore, these and future similar 
interest rate adjustments do not affect our cash flow or net income); 

an increase of $1.1 million from interest income earned by our investment in a term loan entered into during 2011; 

a net increase of $0.9 million due to certain vessels being off-hire during 2012 and 2011; and

 

an increase of $0.5 million relating to crew manning adjustments in the charter-hire rates; the crew manning adjustments increased due to 
higher crewing costs and the strengthening of the Australian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar compared to 2011. 

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses decreased to $114.6 million for 2012, from $123.0 million for 2011, primarily due to the Net 
Fleet Reductions and timing of repairs and maintenance costs. 

Time-Charter Hire Expense. Time-charter hire expense  decreased to  $20.6 million for  2012,  from $33.6 million for 2011,  primarily due to the Net 
Fleet Reductions. 

Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and  amortization  expense decreased to $74.4 million for  2012, from $84.3 million  for 2011,  primarily 
due to: 

 

 

a net decrease of $8.8 million due to the Net Fleet Reductions; and 

a decrease of $2.8 million due to lower net book values for certain vessels in the fixed tanker sub-segment as a result of write-downs taken 
in 2011; 

partially offset by 

 

an increase of $1.2 million due  to the accelerated amortization  of the intangible assets relating to the charter contracts of five Suezmax 
tankers as we expect the life of these intangible assets will be shorter than originally assumed; and 

 

an increase of $0.5 million due to a full year of amortization of dry-dock expenditures incurred in 2011.  

Asset Impairments.  Asset impairments increased to $148.5 million for 2012, from $58.0 million for 2011. The impairments for 2012 relate to nine 
vessels. We determined these vessels were impaired and wrote down the carrying values of these vessels to their estimated fair value. The primary 
factors that caused the write downs were a negative change in the outlook for the crude tanker market, a delay in the expected timing of a recovery 
of the crude tanker market as well as the expected discrimination impact from more fuel efficient vessels being constructed. Please read Item 18. 
Financial  Statements:  Note  18—Vessel  Sales  and Write-downs—  b) Write-downs  of  Vessels,  Equipment  and  Equity  Accounted  Investments  and 
also read Item 18. Financial Statements: Note 11(a) Fair Value Measurements. 

Goodwill  Impairment.    Goodwill  impairment  for  2011  relates  to  the  write-down  of  goodwill  from  a  previous  acquisition.    Please  read  ―Item  18  – 
Financial Statements: Note 6 – Goodwill Impairment Charge and ―Critical Accounting Estimates.‖ 

b)  Spot Tanker Sub-Segment 

Our  spot  tanker  sub-segment,  a  subset  of  our  conventional  tanker  segment  (which  includes  our  Teekay  Shuttle  Offshore  and  Teekay  Tankers 
Services  business  units),  consists  of  conventional  crude  oil  tankers  and  product  carriers  operating  on  the  spot  tanker  market  or  subjec t  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 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 su pply  of, and  demand for, 
vessel capacity. In addition, spot tanker markets historically have exhibited seasonal variations in charter rates. Spot tank er 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:

estimated use of corporate resources. For further discussion, please read ―Other Operating Results – General and Administrative Expenses.‖ 

The  average  size  of  our  spot  tanker  fleet  (including  vessels  chartered-in),  as  measured  by  calendar-ship-days,  decreased  in  2012  compared  to 
2011, primarily due to: 

 

 

the sale of three Aframax tankers in 2012 and one in 2011; and 

the in-charter redeliveries to their owners of eight Aframax tankers, six Suezmax tankers, two long-range 2 (or LR2) product tankers and 
one VLCC;  

partially offset by 

 

the transfer of net four Aframax tankers and two Suezmax tankers from the fixed-rate tanker sub-segment. 

The collective impact from the above noted fleet changes are referred to below as the Net Spot Fleet Reductions. 

Tanker Market and TCE Rates 

Crude  tanker  spot  rates  strengthened  through  the  first  half  of  2012  before  declining  to  historically  low  levels  during  the  second  half  of  the  year. 
Demand for crude tankers in the first half of the year was driven by crude oil stockpiling ahead of the EU‘s sanctions on Iranian oil which took effect 
July 1, 2012 coupled with high levels of global oil production, particularly from OPEC. The combined effect of crude demand for stockpiling purposes 
and an increase in long-haul OPEC barrels was a significant increase in crude tanker tonne-mile demand through the first half of 2012.  

In  the  second  half  of  2012,  the  situation  was  reversed  with  rates  in  the  large  crude  tanker  segments  falling  to  historically  low  levels  during  the 
summer months. This decline in tanker rates was due to much lower levels of tanker demand once oil inventories had been replenished, coupled 
with reduced OPEC oil  production. Tanker rates exhibited a modest rebound to six-month highs in the fourth  quarter due to  seasonal factors but 
remained well below the long-term average. 

In the product tanker sector, the pattern of earnings was the opposite of the crude tanker sector with a very weak first half of the year giving way to a 
much stronger second half. LR2 spot rates reached a 3-year high during the fourth quarter of 2012 driven by a combination of increased long-haul 
naphtha movements into Asia and reduced competition from crude tanker newbuildings on the East-West gasoil trade. 

The global tanker fleet grew by a net 17.7 million deadweight tonnes (mdwt), or 3.7 percent, during 2012. A total of 32.4 mdwt of tankers delivered 
into the fleet, down from 40.2 mdwt in 2011, while scrapping and removals increased slightly to 14.7 mdwt from 14.0 mdwt in 2011. Looking ahead 
to 2013, we estimate that tanker deliveries will total approximately 30 mdwt while scrapping is forecast to total approximately 13 mdwt. As a result, 
we estimate net tanker fleet growth of approximately 17 mdwt, or 3.5%, in 2013, the lowest level of tanker fleet growth in percentage terms since 
2003. Fleet growth during 2013 is expected to be weighted towards the Very Large Crude Carrier (or VLCC) and Suezmax sectors with negligible or 
declining growth in the Aframax and LR2 sectors. 

Global oil demand is expected to grow by 0.9 million barrels per day (mb/d) during 2013 according to the average of forecasts from the International 
Energy Agency, Energy Information Administration and Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (or OPEC). This represents the same level of 
oil demand growth as in 2012, with the non-OECD countries, and China in particular, accounting for the majority of the growth. However, the ―call on 
OPEC‖ crude is expected to decline by approximately 0.4 mb/d during 2013, which could result in lower tonne-mile demand for crude tankers 
compared to 2012.

(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 write-off of doubtful debts and the cost of fuel while offhire. 

Average spot tanker TCE rates increased marginally in 2012 compared to 2011.  The TCE rates 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.

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses decreased to $62.9 million for 2012, from $67.6 million for 2011 primarily due to the Net 
Spot Fleet Reductions. 

Time-Charter Hire Expense. Time-charter hire expense decreased to $53.2 million for  2012, from $106.1 million for 2011, primarily due to the Net 
Spot Fleet Reductions and redeliveries of previously chartered-in vessels upon expiration of their in-charter contracts. 

Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and  amortization  expense decreased to $51.9 million for  2012, from $54.5 million  for 2011,  primarily

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $203.0 million in 2012, compared to $223.6 million in 2011, primarily due to: 

 

 

 

 

a decrease of $11.5 million in salaries and benefits, primarily due to a one-time pension expense in 2011 related to the retirement of our 
former President and Chief Executive Officer;  

a  decrease  of  $7.0  million  in  equity-based  compensation  for  management,  primarily  due  to  the  accelerated  timing  of  accounting 
recognition of certain stock awards as a result of certain management employees meeting retirement eligibility criteria in 2011;  

a decrease of $5.7 million in 2012, from increased pool commissions and cost recoveries from management fees; and 

a decrease of $5.3 million in 2012, in travel-related and other personnel expenses from restructuring initiatives;  

partially offset by 

 

 an increase of $8.8 million as a result of the Sevan Acquisitions.  

During 2012, we commenced the reorganization of our marine operations to create greater alignment with our business units and our three publicly-
listed subsidiaries. We expect to incur approximately  $12 million in total of one-time restructuring charges associated with this reorganization and 
realize  annual  cost  savings  of  approximately  $15  million  commencing  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2012.  A  majority  of  the  reorganization  has  been 
completed in 2012; however, certain portions will not be completed until the first half of 2013. Please read ―Item 18  – Financial Statements: Note 20

an increase of $5.6 million due to the acquisition of the Hummingbird Spirit FPSO unit in November 2011 and the associated debt facility; 

an increase of $4.3 million due to increased loan and bond cost amortization in 2012; 

an increase of $4.1 million related to the new $130 million debt facility secured by the Piranema Spirit FPSO unit in February 2012; 

an increase of $4.4 million as a result of higher average outstanding debt balances;  

an increase of $3.1 million as a result of higher margins on the refinancing of a debt facility; and 

an increase of $2.3 million due to an increase in our borrowings upon our acquisitions of three LPG/multigas vessels during the second, 
third and fourth quarters of 2011;  

partially offset by 

 

a decrease of $5.1 million due to the termination of the  Madrid Spirit LNG carrier capital lease in the fourth quarter of 2011. The  Madrid 
Spirit  was  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; and 

 

a decrease of $4.0 million due to lower EURIBOR related to Euro-denominated debt. 

Interest Income. Interest income decreased to $6.2 million in 2012 from $10.1 million in 2011, primarily due to the repayment of the capital lease on 
one LNG carrier, the  Madrid Spirit, during the fourth quarter of  2011, which was funded from restricted cash, partially offset by a higher  principal 
balance  in restricted cash deposits compared to prior year. 

Realized and unrealized losses on non-designated derivative instruments. Realized and unrealized losses 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  loss.  Net  realized  and 
unrealized losses on non-designated derivatives were $80.4 million for 2012, compared to $342.7 million for 2011, as detailed in the table below:

The  realized  losses  relate  to  amounts  we  actually  realized  or  paid  to  settle  such  derivative  instruments  and  interest  rate  swap  agreement 
amendments. The unrealized losses on interest rate swaps for 2012 and 2011 were primarily due to changes in the forward interest swap rates. 

During  2012  and  2011,  we  had  interest  rate  swap  agreements  with  aggregate  average  net  outstanding  notional  amounts  of  approximately  $3.9 
billion in both periods, with average fixed rates of approximately 3.9% and 3.8%, respectively. Short-term variable benchmark interest rates during 
these periods were generally less than 1.0% and, as such, we incurred realized losses of $123.3 million and $132.9 million, during 2012 and 2011 
under the interest rate swap agreements. We also incurred realized losses of $149.7 million during 2011, for amending the terms of five interest rate 
swaps to reduce the weighted-average fixed interest rate from 5.1% to 2.5% and the termination of a swap. 

Primarily  as  a  result  of  significant  changes  in  long-term  benchmark  interest  rates  during  2012  and  2011,  we  recognized  unrealized  gains  and 
(losses)  of  $30.3  million  and  $(70.1)  million,  respectively.  Please  read  ―Item  18.  Financial  Statements:    Note  15  -  Derivative  Instruments  and 
Hedging Activities.‖ 

Equity Income (Loss). Our equity income increased to $79.2 million in 2012 compared to a loss of $35.3 million in 2011, primarily due to: 

 

 

an increase of $40.2 million due to the acquisition of a 52% ownership interest in the six MALT LNG carriers in February 2012; 

an increase of $41.8 million related to the Angola LNG Project;

 

 

an increase of $17.5 million due to the equity loss and write-down of our investment in Petrotrans Holdings Ltd., a 50% joint venture in the 
prior year; 

an increase of $10.8 million due to the sale of our interest in the Ikdam FPSO unit; and 

an increase of $5.0 million related to the Exmar and RasGas 3 joint ventures. 

For 2012, equity income includes $5.3 million which relates to our share of unrealized gains on interest rate swaps, compared to unrealized losses 
on interest rate swaps of $(35.3) million included in equity income (loss) for the same period last year. 

Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss). Foreign currency exchange losses were $12.9 million in 2012 compared to foreign currency exchange gains 
of  $12.7  million  in  2011.  Our  foreign  currency  exchange  gains  (losses),  substantially  all  of  which  are  unrealized,  are  due  primarily  to  the 
relevant  period-end  revaluation  of  our  Norwegian  Kroner-denominated  debt  and  our  Euro-denominated  term  loans,  capital  leases  and 
restricted  cash  for  financial  reporting  purposes  and  the  realized  and  unrealized  gains  (losses)  on  our  cross  currency  swaps.  Losses  on 
Norwegian Kroner-denominated and Euro-denominated monetary liabilities reflect a weaker U.S. Dollar against the Norwegian Kroner and 
Euro  on  the  date  of  revaluation  or  settlement  compared  to  the  rate  in  effect  at  the  beginning  of  the  period.  Gains  on  Norwegi an  Kroner-
denominated and Euro-denominated monetary liabilities reflect a stronger U.S. Dollar against the  Norwegian Kroner and Euro on the date of 
revaluation or settlement compared to the rate in effect at the beginning of the period. For 2012, foreign currency exchange  gains include 
realized gains of $3.6 million (2011 - $2.9 million) and unrealized gains of $10.7 million (2011 - unrealized loss of $(1.6) million) on our cross 
currency  swap  and  unrealized losses  of  $17.7  million  (2011  -  gains  of  $2.6  million)  on  the  revaluation  of  our  NOK-denominated  debt.  For 
2012, foreign currency exchange (losses) gains include the revaluation of our Euro-denominated restricted cash, debt and capital leases of 
($4.7) million as compared to $10.5 million for 2011. 

Income Tax (Expense) Recovery. Income tax recovery was $14.4 million in 2012 and compared to income tax expense of $4.3 million in 2011. The 
increase in the income tax recovery was primarily due to (i) a new Norwegian tax structure established in the fourth quarter of 2012 which resulted in 
a deferred tax recovery for the Norwegian tax group by being able to utilize past losses carried forward against future projected income, and (ii) a 
reversal of uncertain tax position accruals during 2012.

The  average  fleet  size  of  our  shuttle  tanker  and  FSO  segment  (including  vessels  chartered-in),  as  measured  by  calendar-ship-days,  increased 
during 2011 compared to 2010, primarily due to an increase in owned shuttle tankers with the delivery of four newbuilding shuttle tankers, being the 
Amundsen  Spirit  and  the  Nansen  Spirit  (together,  the  2010  Newbuilding  Shuttle  Tanker  Acquisitions),  and  the  Peary  Spirit  and  the  Scott  Spirit 
(together, the 2011 Newbuilding Shuttle Tanker Acquisitions) in July 2010, October 2010, May 2011 and July 2011, respectively. This increase in 
shuttle tankers was partially offset by the sale of the Karratha Spirit FSO unit in March 2011.  
Net Revenues. Net revenues increased to $516.0 million for 2011, from $511.2 million for 2010, primarily due to: 

 

an increase of $38.5 million for 2011 due to the 2010 and 2011 Newbuilding Shuttle Tanker Acquisitions;

 

 

 

an increase of $16.4 million for 2011 due to an increase in revenues in our time-chartered-out fleet from entering into a new contract and 
increases in rates as provided in certain bareboat and time-charter-out contracts, 

an  increase  of  $1.8  million  for  2011  related  to  an  increase  in  reimbursable  bunker  costs  as  provided  for  in  new  contracts  during  2010, 
partially offset by higher bunkers costs during 2011 as compared to the prior year; and 

an increase of $0.7 million for 2011 from short-term offshore projects in the North Sea, which require the use of shuttle tankers;  

partially offset by 

 

 

 

 

a  decrease  of  $24.4  million  for  2011  due  to  lower  revenues  from our  contract  of  affreightment  shuttle  tanker  fleet  from the  d eclining  oil 
production  at  mature  oil  fields  in  the  North  Sea  compounded  by  fewer  opportunities  compared  to  the  prior  period  to  trade  this  excess 
capacity in the fleet in the conventional spot tanker market as a result of decreased demand for conventional crude transportation; 

a decrease of $11.7 million for 2011 due to lower revenues related to the sale of the Karratha Spirit in March 2011;  

decrease  of  $10.0  million  for  2011,  due  to  the  redelivery  of  one  vessel  to  us  in  March  2011  upon  termination  of  the  time-charter-out 
contract;  

a decrease  of $4.2 million for 2011  due to  a lower charter rate on the  Navion Saga in  accordance with the charter contract, which took 
effect during the second quarter of 2010; and 

  a decrease of $0.9 million due to more off-hire days in our time-chartered-out fleet for 2011 as compared to 2010. 

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased to $196.5 million for 2011, from $182.6 million for 2010, primarily due to: 

  an increase of $15.6 million for 2011 due to the 2010 and 2011 Newbuilding Shuttle Tanker Acquisitions; 

  an increase of $8.3 million for 2011 in crew and manning costs as compared to the prior year resulting primarily from planned increases in 

wages; and 

  an  increase  of  $3.3  million  for  2011  due  to  an  increase  in  the  number  of  vessels  dry  docked,  and  costs  related  to  services  and  spares 
(certain repair and maintenance items are more efficient to complete while a vessel is in dry dock; consequently, repair and  maintenance 
costs will typically increase in periods when there is an increase in the number of vessels dry docked);  

partially offset by 

  a decrease of $8.8 million for 2011 related to the sale of the Karratha Spirit in March 2011;  

  a decrease of $3.5 million relating to the layup of one of our vessels in July 2011as it awaits suitable projects; 

  a decrease of $1.1 million for 2011 relating to the settlement of a claim with a customer in 2010; and 

  a decrease of $1.1 million for 2011 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. 

Time-Charter Hire Expense. Time-charter hire expense decreased to $74.5 million for 2011, from $89.8 million for 2010, primarily due to:  

  a decrease of $13.5 million for 2011 due to the redelivery of three time-chartered-in vessels to their owners in October 2011, February 2010 

and November 2010;  

  a decrease of $2.3 million due to the acquisition of one previously chartered-in vessel in February 2010; and 

  a decrease of $1.2 million due to decreases in rates on certain contracts in the time-chartered-in fleet during 2011; 

partially offset by 

  an increase of $1.2 million due to increased spot in-chartering during 2011; and 

  an increase of $0.5 million due to less offhire in the in-chartered fleet during 2011. 

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $129.3 million for 2011, from $127.4 million for 2010, primarily 
due to the 2010 and  2011 Newbuilding Shuttle Tanker Acquisitions, partially offset by  adjustments to the carrying value  of certain capitalized  dry 
docking expenditures in 2010, the write-down of one of our shuttle tankers in 2010, and the sale of the Karratha Spirit in March 2011. 

Asset Impairments and Net Loss on Sale of Vessels and  Equipment. Asset impairments and net loss on the sale of vessels and equipment were 
$43.4 million for 2011. The impairments primarily relate to three 1992-built shuttle tankers, all of which will be 20-years old in 2012, and one FSO 
unit. We determined these vessels were impaired and wrote down the carrying values of these vessels to their estimated fair value, which is either 
the estimated sales price of the vessel or the estimated scrap value.  We identified the following indicators of impairment r elated to these vessels: 
the  age  of  the  vessels,  the  requirements  of  operating  in  the  North  Sea,  a  change  in  the  operating  plans  for  certain  vessels,  escalating  dry  dock 
costs,  a  continued  decline  in  the  fair  market  value  of  vessels,  and  a  general  decline  in  the  future  outlook  for  shipping  and  the  global  economy 
combined with delayed optimism on when the recovery may occur.  Asset impairments and net loss on the sale of vessels and equipment for 2010 

49 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
were  $19.5  million,  resulting  from  the  write-down  of  certain  shuttle  equipment,  as  the  carrying  value  exceeded  its  estimated  fair  value,  and  the 
impairment  of  a  1992-built  shuttle  tanker,  as  the  shuttle  tanker  net  carrying  value  exceeded  the  net  undiscounted  cash  flows  expected  to  be 
generated  over  its  remaining  useful  life.  Due  to  the  termination  of  the  vessel‘s  charter  contract  and  recent  economic  developments  it  was 
determined in 2010 that the shuttle tanker may not generate the future cash flows that were anticipated when originally purchased. The vessel was 
written down to its estimated fair value. The shuttle tanker equipment was originally purchased for use in future shuttle tanker conversions or new 
shuttle tankers. 

Restructuring Charges. During  2011 and 2010, we incurred restructuring charges of $5.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in connection with 
the termination of employment for certain of the crew members of the Karratha Spirit following the sale of the vessel in March 2011, as well as the 
termination of the time-charter-out contract of one of our shuttle tankers. The restructuring charges from 2010 primarily resulted from the completion 
of the reflagging of certain vessels and a change in the nationality mix of our crews.

The average fleet size of our FPSO segment, as measured by calendar-ship-days, increased during 2011 compared to 2010 due to the acquisition 
of the Hummingbird FPSO unit by Teekay and the Piranema FPSO unit by Teekay Offshore (or the Sevan Acquisitions) on November 30, 2011. 

Revenues. Revenues increased to $464.8 million for 2011, from $463.9 million for 2010, primarily due to: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

an  increase  of  $28.3  million  due  to  supplemental  efficiency  and  tariff  payments  received  under  the  amended  Petrojarl  Foinaven  FPSO 
contract; 

an increase of $14.5 million due to the Sevan Acquisitions; 

an increase of $6.7 million due  to increased rates on the  Rio das Ostras FPSO unit effective April 2011, concurrent with starting a new 
contract on the Aruana field off of Brazil; 

an increase of $4.4 million due to a planned maintenance shutdown of the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit in the third quarter of 2010; 

an increase of $4.0 million due to foreign currency exchange differences in 2011 as compared to 2010; 

an increase of $3.5 million relating to back-pay negotiated payments to us for services previously rendered to the charterer of the Rio das 
Ostras FPSO unit; and 

an  increase  of  $3.1  million  due  to  a  planned  maintenance  shutdown  for  13  days  on  the  Petrojarl  Varg  FPSO  unit  in  the  third quarter  of 
2010; 

partially offset by 

 

 

a  decrease  of  $59.2  million  for  one-time  payments  received  in  2010  under  the  amended  operating  contract  for  the  Petrojarl  Foinaven 
related to operations in previous years and recognized in 2010; and 

a decrease of $3.2 million due to the weather related incident involving the Banff FPSO unit. Please read ―—Other Significant Projects and 
Developments.‖  

As part of our acquisition of Teekay Petrojarl in July 2008 and Sevan in November 2011, we assumed certain FPSO service contr acts that had less 
favorable terms than prevailing market terms at the time of the acquisitions. 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 2011 was $46.2 million 
(2010 - $47.6 million). The decrease in 2011, compared to 2010, was due to increases in the amortization periods resulting from operating contract

Intangible Assets and In-Process Revenue Contracts." 

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased to $242.3 million for 2011, from $209.3 million for 2010, primarily due to: 

 

 

 

 

 

an  increase  of  $10.3  million  due  to  increased  inspections,  repairs,  crew  and  travel  costs  in  2011  relating  to  the  Petrojarl  I  FPSO  unit 
compared to 2010;  

an increase of $6.9 million due to higher repairs and maintenance costs associated with the Apollo Spirit, an FSO unit used to service the 
Petrojarl Banff FPSO unit, due to a scheduled dry dock in 2011; 

an increase of $6.7 million due to the Sevan Acquisitions; 

an increase of $6.4 million due to the weakening of the U.S. Dollar against the Norwegian Kroner in 2011 compared to 2010;  

an  increase  of  $3.2  million  due  to  increased  repairs  on  the  Rio  das  Ostras  FPSO  unit  while  on  yard  stay  and  higher  consumables  and 
spares in 2011 compared to 2010; and 

 

an increase of $3.1 million due to planned crew and manning wage increases during 2011;  

partially offset by 

 

a  decrease  of  $3.9  million  due  to  a  planned  maintenance  shutdown  for  13  days  on  the  Petrojarl  Varg  FPSO  unit  in  the  third  quarter  of 
2010. 

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $96.9 million for 2011, from $95.8 million for 2010, primarily due 
capital upgrades on the Rio das Ostras FPSO unit for the Aruana field in the first quarter of 2011 and the Sevan Acquisitions. 

Gain  on  Sale  of  Vessels  and  Equipment.  Gain  on  sale  of  vessels  and  equipment  of  $4.9  million  for  2011  relates  to  a  gain  on  sale  of  equipment 
related to the Tiro and Sidon FPSO project. 

Bargain purchase gain. As part of the acquisition of FPSO units by us and Teekay Offshore from Sevan and our 40% equity investment in Sevan, 
we recognized a bargain purchase gain on acquisition of $68.5 million. Please read "Item 18. Financial Statements—Note 3: Acquisition of FPSO 
Units from and investment in Sevan Marine ASA."

Includes direct general and administrative expenses and indirect general and administrative expenses (allocated to the liquefied gas segment based on estimated 
use of resources). 

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 two 
Multigas carriers, the Norgas Unikum and Norgas Vision, on June 15, 2011 and October 17, 2011, respectively, and the delivery of an LPG carrier, 
the Norgas Camilla, on September 15, 2011 (collectively, the 2011 Gas Carrier Deliveries); partially offset by the sale of an LPG carrier, the Dania 
Spirit, on November 5, 2010. 

During 2011, two of our LNG carriers, the Arctic Spirit and Polar Spirit, were off hire for approximately 11 days and 50 days, respectively, relating to 
scheduled dry dockings, compared to 288 off-hire days in 2010, of which 44 days were related to scheduled dry dockings of the two vessels, with 
the remainder due to the Arctic Spirit being idle with no contract. 

Net Voyage Revenues. Net voyage revenues increased to $267.2 million for 2011, from $248.3 million for 2010, primarily due to:

 

 

 

 

an increase of $15.6 million  due to an increase in the  hire rates under new charter contracts for the  Arctic Spirit and Polar Spirit during 
2011 as compared to the prior year;  

an increase of $5.3 million due to the 2011 Gas Carrier Deliveries; 

an increase of $4.1 million due to the effect on our Euro-denominated revenues from the strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar 
during 2011 compared to the prior year; and 

an  increase  of  $0.9  million,  due  to  operating  expense  recovery  adjustments  during  2011  in  the  charter-hire  rates  for  the  Tangguh  LNG 
Carriers;  

partially offset by 

 

 

a decrease of $4.0 million due to the sale of the Dania Spirit on November 5, 2010; and 

a  decrease  of  $1.2  million  for  2011  due  to  the  Arctic  Spirit  and  Polar  Spirit  being  offhire  for  11  days  and  13  days,  respectively,  in  the 
second quarter of 2011 for scheduled dry dockings.  

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased to $48.2 million for 2011, from $46.5 million for 2010, primarily due to: 

 

 

 

an increase of $2.9 million due to the scope and extent of service and maintenance activities performed in 2011 compared to 2010 and an 
increase in manning costs for certain of our LNG carriers;  

an  increase  of  $0.8  million  due  to  unemployment  for  the  Arctic  Spirit  for  most  of  2010.  As  a  result,  we  were  able  to  operate  the  vessel 
throughout  2010  with  a  reduced  average  number  of  crew  on  board  and  we  reduced  the  amount  of  repair  and  maintenance  activities 
performed; and 

an increase of $0.7 million due to the effect on our Euro-denominated crew manning expenses from the strengthening of the Euro against 
the U.S. Dollar during 2011 compared to 2010 (a portion of our vessel operating expenses are denominated in Euros, which is primarily 
due to the nationality of our crew);  

partially offset by 

 

 

a decrease of $2.3 million due to the sale of the Dania Spirit on November 5, 2010; and 

a decrease of $1.0 million due to lower insurance rates upon renewal in 2011. 

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased to $63.6 million for 2011, from $62.9 million for 2010, primarily due to: 

 

 

an increase of $1.5 million due to the 2011 Gas Carrier Deliveries; and 

an increase of $1.2 million as a result of amortization of dry-dock expenditures incurred during 2011;  

partially offset by 

 

a decrease of $0.9 million due to the sale of the Dania Spirit on November 5, 2010. 

Gain on Sale of Vessels and Equipment.  The $4.3 million gain on sale of vessel in 2010 relates to the sale of the Dania Spirit in November 2010.

Includes direct general and administrative expenses and indirect general and administrative expenses allocated to the fixed-rate tanker sub-segment based on 
estimated use of corporate resources. For further discussion, please read ―Other Operating Results – General and Administrative Expenses.‖ 

The  average  fleet  size  of  our  fixed-rate  tanker  sub-segment  (including  vessels  chartered-in),  as  measured  by  calendar-ship-days,  decreased  for 
2011 compared to the prior year, primarily due to: 

 

 

 

 

the  transfer  to  the  spot-rate  tanker  sub-segment  of  two  Aframax  tankers,  on  a  net  basis,  (consisting  of  the  transfer-in  of  three  owned 
vessels  from the  spot  tanker  sub-segment,  and  the  transfer-out  of  three  owned  vessels  and  two  in-chartered  vessels to  the  spot  tanker 
sub-segment);  

an overall decrease in the number of in-chartered vessel days during 2011; 

the sale of one product tanker in August 2010; and 

the redelivery by us of one VLCC and one Aframax tanker to their owners during 2011 upon expiration of in-charters; 

partially offset by  

 

 

the transfer of one Suezmax tanker from the spot tanker sub-segment in April 2010; and 

the deliveries of two product tankers in April 2011. 

The collective impact from the above noted fleet changes are referred to below as the Net Fleet Reduction. 

Net Revenues. Net revenues decreased to $365.4 million in 2011, from $378.1 million for 2010, primarily due to: 

 

 

a decrease of $14.4 million from the redeliveries of in-chartered vessels; and 

a decrease of $9.0 million from the sale of a product tanker in August 2010; 

partially offset by 

 

an increase of $11.5 million resulting from interest income from our investment in term loans, as discussed below. 

We earned interest income of $16.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively, for 2011 and 2010 from our investment in three term loans which totalled 
$187 million as at December 31, 2011, which are collateralized by first-priority mortgages on three modern VLCCs.  

Vessel  Operating  Expenses.  Vessel  operating  expenses  increased  to  $123.0  million  in  2011,  from $109.5  million  in  2010,  primarily  due  to  $12.7 
million related to the addition of two product tankers and $5.5 million related to an increase in manning for certain of our  conventional tankers and 
the timing of services and maintenance.  These increases were partially offset by $4.5 million as a result of the Net Fleet Reduction. 

Time-Charter  Hire  Expense.  Time-charter  hire  expense  decreased  to  $33.6  million  in  2011,  from  $60.5  million  in  2010,  primarily  due  to  a  net 
decrease in the number of in-chartered vessel days as vessels were redelivered to their owners upon expiration of in-charter contracts, and vessels 
transferring to the spot tanker sub-segment. 

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $84.3 million in 2011, from $82.7 million in 2010, primarily due 
to an increase in capitalized dry docking expenditures incurred during 2011. 

Asset Impairments and Net loss on Sale of Vessels and Equipment. Asset impairments and net loss on sale of vessels and equipment were $58.3 
million for 2011. The impairments relate to three vessels built in 2000, 2004 and 2005. We determined these vessels were impaired and wrote down 
the carrying values of these vessels to their estimated fair value, which is either the estimated sales price of the vessel or the estimated scrap value. 
53 

 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We identified the following indicators of impairment related to these vessels: a change in the operating plans for certain vessels, escalating dry dock 
costs,  a  continued  decline  in  the  fair  market  value  of  vessels,  and  a  general  decline  in  the  future  outlook  for  shipping  and  the  global  economy 
combined with delayed optimism on when the recovery may occur.  Please read ―Item 18. Financial Statements: Note 18(b) Write-downs and Note 
11(a) Fair Value Measurements." 

Goodwill  Impairment.    Goodwill  impairment  was  $10.8  million  for  2011  as  a  result  of  a  write-down  of  goodwill  relating  to  Suezmax  tankers.  The 
recognition of the goodwill impairment charge was driven by the continuing weak tanker market, which has largely been caused by an oversupply of 
vessels relative to demand. Please read "Item 18. Financial Statements: Note 6 Goodwill, Intangible Assets and In-Process Revenue Contracts." 

b)  Spot Tanker Sub-Segment

The average size of our spot tanker fleet (including vessels chartered-in), as measured by calendar-ship-days, decreased for 2011, compared to the 
prior year, primarily due to: 

 

 

 

the sale of two Aframax tankers in 2010 and one in 2011; 

the redelivery by us of four Aframax tankers and six Suezmax tankers to their owners during 2011 upon expiration of in-charters; and 

the transfer of one Suezmax tanker to the fixed-rate tanker sub-segment in April 2010; 

partially offset by 

 

 

the transfer to the spot-rate tanker sub-segment of two Aframax tankers, on a net basis, (consisting of the transfer-out of three owned 
vessels to the fixed tanker sub-segment, and the transfer-in of three owned vessels and two in-chartered vessels from the fixed tanker 
sub-segment); and 

the transfer by us of one in-chartered VLCC from the fixed-rate tanker sub-segment in February 2011 before redelivery to its owner in 
May 2011. 

The collective impact from the above noted fleet changes are referred to below as the Net Spot Fleet Reductions. 

Net  Revenues.  Net  revenues  decreased  to  $163.7  million  in  2011,  from $249.1  million  for  2010,  primarily  due  to  decreases of  $65.2  million  from 
decreases in our average spot tanker TCE rates due to the relative weakening of the spot tanker market and $19.3 million from the Net Spot Fleet 
Reductions. 

Vessel  Operating  Expenses.  Vessel  operating  expenses  decreased  to  $67.6  million  in  2011,  from  $82.7  million  for  2011,  primarily  due  to  $15.9 
million from the Net Spot Fleet Reductions.  

Time-Charter  Hire  Expense.  Time-charter  hire  expense  decreased  to  $106.1  million  for  2011,  from  $135.8  million  for  2010,  primarily  due  to 
redeliveries of previously chartered-in vessels upon expiration of their in-charter contracts and a decrease in average in-charter contract hire rates.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $54.5 million in 2011, from $71.8 million for 2010, primarily due 
to a decrease of amortization of certain intangible contracts that were fully amortized in 2010 and the Net Spot Fleet Reductions. 

Asset Impairments and Net loss on Sale of Vessels and Equipment. Asset impairments and net loss on sale of vessels and equipment were $54.3 
million  for  2011.  The  impairments  relate  to  two  1992-built  vessels,  one  1993-built  vessel,  one  1994-built  vessel  and  one  1997-built  vessel.  We 
determined  these  vessels  were  impaired  and  wrote  down  the  carrying  values  of  these  vessels  to  their  estimated  fair  value,  which  is  either  the 
estimated sales price of the vessel or the estimated scrap value.  We identified the following  indicators of impairment related to these vessels: a 
change in the operating plans for certain vessels, escalating dry dock costs, a continued decline in the fair market value of  vessels, and a general 
decline  in  the  future  outlook  for  shipping  and  the  global  economy  combined  with  delayed  optimism  on  when  the  recovery  may  occur.    Asset 
impairments and net loss on sale of vessels and equipment for 2010 of $33.9 million, were 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.  

Goodwill  Impairment.    Goodwill  impairment  was  $25.8  million  for  2011  as  a  result  of  a  write-off  of  goodwill  relating  to  Suezmax  tankers.  The 
recognition of the goodwill impairment charge was driven by the continuing weak tanker market, which has largely been caused  by an oversupply of 
vessels relative to demand. Please read "Item 18. Financial Statements: Note 6 Goodwill, Intangible Assets and In-Process Revenue Contracts." 

Restructuring Charges. Restructuring charges for 2011 and 2010 primarily relate to costs incurred for certain vessel crew changes. 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  increased  to  $223.6  million  for  2011,  from  $193.7  million  for  2010, 
primarily due to:   

 

 

 

 

an increase of $30.9 million in salaries and benefits primarily due to a one-time pension expense of $11.0 million related to the retirement 
of  our  former  President  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  on  March  31,  2011,  $1.7  million  from the  weakening  of  the  U.S.  Dollar  against  the 
Norwegian  Kroner,  Canadian  dollar,  Australian  dollar,  and  other  currencies,  $4.9  million  from  an  increase  in  the  average  number  of 
employees, and $2.8 million from salary increases effective April 2011; 

an increase of $7.2 million in corporate expenses due to higher business development and consulting fees, primarily in our Sh uttle Tanker 
and FSO and FPSO segments, and an increase in directors' fees;  

an increase of $3.9 million in travel related primarily to increased business development activities; and 

an increase of $1.1 million in acquisition costs related to the Sevan Acquisition; 

partially offset by 

 

a decrease of $6.3 million in lower short-term incentive compensation. 

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $137.6 million for 2011, from $136.1 million for 2010, primarily due to an increase in average  debt 
balance from $4.4 billion in 2010 to $4.9 billion in 2011; and 

 

an  increase  of  $7.9  million  due  to  the  effect  of  the  November  2010  issuance  of  the  600  million  Norwegian  Kroner-denominated  senior 
unsecured bonds due November 2013; and 

 

an increase of $2.8 million due to increased EURIBOR rates relating to Euro-denominated debt; 

partially offset by 

 

 

a decrease due to the retirement at maturity of 8.875% senior unsecured notes due in July 2011;  

a decrease of $7.6 million due to capitalized interest on the Tiro and Sidon FPSO project and Knarr FPSO unit; and

 

a decrease of $1.8 million from the scheduled capital lease repayments on the Madrid Spirit (the Madrid Spirit was 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). During the fourth quarter of 2011 the Madrid Spirit lease expired and 
the purchase obligation was fully funded with restricted cash deposits. 

The  debt  repayments  under  long-term revolving  credit  facilities that  contributed  to  a  decrease  in  interest  expense  for  2011  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 or private investors of equity securities by the subsidiary. To the extent that there are 
no  immediate  investment  opportunities,  we  have  generally  applied  the  proceeds  from  the  equity  issuances  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—Recent 
Equity Offerings and Transactions by Subsidiaries.‖ 

Interest  Income.  Interest  income  decreased  to  $10.1  million  for  2011,  compared  to  $13.0  million  for  2010,  primarily  due  to  lower  cash  account 
balances and a scheduled capital lease repayment on one of our LNG carriers that was funded from restricted cash deposits that earn interest. 

Realized  and  Unrealized  Losses  on  Non-designated  Derivative  Instruments. Realized and  unrealized losses 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 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  on  non-designated  derivatives  were  $342.7  million  for 
2011, compared to net realized and unrealized losses on non-designated derivatives of $299.6 million for 2010, as detailed in the table below:

The  realized  losses  relate  to  amounts  we  actually  realized  or  paid  to  settle  such  derivative  instruments,  or  for  interest  rate  swap  agreement 
amendments and terminations. The unrealized losses on interest rate swaps for 2011 were primarily due to changes in the forward interest swap 
rates.  

During  2011  and  2010,  we  had  interest  rate  swap  agreements  with  aggregate  average  net  outstanding  notional  amounts  of  approxi mately  $3.9 
billion and $3.6 billion, respectively, with average fixed rates of approximately 3.8% and 4.5%, respectively. Short-term variable benchmark interest 
rates  during  these  periods  were  generally  less  than  1.1%  and,  as  such,  we  incurred  realized  losses  of  $132.9  million  and  $154.1  million, 
respectively, during 2011 and 2010 under the interest rate swap agreements. We incurred realized losses of $149.7 million and $nil, respectively, 
during 2011 and 2010 for amending the terms of five interest rate swaps to reduce the weighted average fixed interest rate from 5.1% to 2.5%, and 
for the termination of two interest rate swaps. 

As  a  result  of  significant  decreases  in  long-term benchmark  interest  rates  in  2011  and  2010,  we  recognized  unrealized  losses  of  $70.1  million  in 
2011 and $135.3 million in 2010. Please see "Item 5.  Operating and Financial Review and Prospects: Valuation of Derivative Instruments," which 
explains how our derivative instruments are valued, including a description of significant factors and uncertainties in deter mining the estimated fair 
value and why changes in these factors result in material variances in realized and unrealized (losses) gain on derivative instruments.  

Equity Loss. Equity losses were $35.3 million and $11.3 million for 2011 and 2010, respectively. The loss was primarily comprised of our s hare of 
the earnings (loss) from the Angola LNG Project, the RasGas 3 Joint Venture and from the Exmar Joint Venture. Please read "Item 18. Financial 
Statements: Note 23—Equity Accounted Investments." Of the equity loss for 2011, $35.3 million relates to our share of unrealized loss on interest 
rate swaps for 2011. This compares to unrealized loss on interest rate swaps of $26.3 million included in equity loss for 2010. In addition, the equity 
loss for 2011 includes the impairment of an investment in a joint venture of $19.4 million. 

Foreign  Exchange  Gain.  Foreign  exchange  gains  were  $12.7  million  and  $32.0  million  for  2011  and  2010,  respectively.  These  foreign  currency 
exchange gains, substantially all of which were unrealized, are due primarily to the relevant period end revaluation of our Euro-denominated term 
loans, capital leases and restricted cash for financial reporting purposes. Gains reflect a strengthening 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. 

Other Income. Other income of $12.4 million for 2011 was primarily comprised of leasing income of $2.9 million in 2011, a $3.4 million gain in 2011 
related to a gain on sale of marketable securities, and $6.1 million in miscellaneous income.

Income Tax Recovery (Expense). Income tax expense was $4.3 million for 2011, compared to an income tax recovery of $6.3 million for 2010.  The 
increase to income tax expense was primarily due to taking a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset relating to Norwegian tax losses 
carried forward, partially offset by an increase in deferred income tax recovery relating to unrealized foreign exchange translation losses and a tax 
loss on the sale of a vessel. 

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 fac ilities, proceeds from 
the  sale  of  vessels,  and  capital  raised  through  financing  transactions  by  us  or  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, 2012, our total cash and cash equivalents totaled $ 639.5 million, compared to $ 692.1 million as at December 
31, 2011.  As at December 31,  2012 and December  31, 2011,  our total liquidity, including cash and  undrawn credit facilities, was $1.9  billion and 
$1.5 billion, respectively. 

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 i n 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,  2012,  we  had  $797.4  million  of  scheduled  debt  repayments  coming  due  within  the  next  twelve  months.  In  addition,  as  at 
December 31, 2012, we had $70.3 million current lease obligation for five Suezmax tankers, under which the owner has the option to require us to 
purchase  the  vessels  and  under  the  charter  contracts,  the  owner  also  has  cancellation  rights.    For  three  of  the  five  Suezmax  tankers,  the 
cancellation options are first exercisable in August 2013, November 2013 and April 2014, respectively.  While we have not received notification of 
termination, we expect the charterer to exercise these options and the vessels to be sold by the owner to a third party. Therefore, we have classified 
the outstanding obligations under these leases as due in 2013 for purposes of our disclosures. Upon sale of the vessels, we will not be required to 
repay  the  capital  lease  obligations  as  the  vessels  under  capital  leases  will  be  returned  to  the  owner  and  the  capital  lease  obligations  will  be 
concurrently extinguished. 

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  revolving  credit  facilities.  We  have  pre-arranged  financing  of  approximately  $386  million, 
which  mostly  relates  to  our  2013  capital  expenditure  commitments. We  are  currently  in  the  process  of  obtaining  additional  deb t  financing  for  our 
remaining capital commitments of $0.9 billion relating to our portion of newbuildings on order as at December 31, 2012. 

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, 2012, our revolving credit facilities provided for borrowings of up to $2.8 billion, of which $1.2 billion was undrawn. The amount 
available under these revolving credit facilities reduces by $740.8 million (2013), $741.3 million (2014), $226.4 million (2015), $346.4 million (2016), 
$463.0 million (2017) and $321.0 million (thereafter). The revolving credit facilities are collateralized by first-priority mortgages granted on 58 of our 
vessels, together with other related security, and are guaranteed by us 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  39  of  our  vessels,  together  with  other 
related security, and are generally guaranteed by us or our subsidiaries.  

Among other matters, our long-term debt agreements generally provide for maintenance of minimum consolidated financial covenants and certain 
loan  agreements  require  the  maintenance  of  market  value  to  loan  ratios.  Certain  loan  agreements  require  that  a  minimum  level  of  free  cash  be 
maintained and as at December 31, 2012, this amount was $100.0 million. Most 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, or 5% to 7.5% of total debt. As at  December 31, 2012, 
this amount was $319.1 million. We were in compliance with all of our loan covenants at December 31, 2012.  

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 equival ents 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.  Please  read  ―Item  11  –  Quantitative  and  Qualitative 
Disclosures About Market Risk. ―

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 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 an increase in tanker supply and the reduction in global oil 
demand that was caused by a slow-down in global economic activity that began in late 2008. 

Net cash flow from operating activities increased to $288.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, from $107.2 million for the year ended 
December  31,  2011.  This  increase  was  primarily  due  to  a  $63.9  million  net  increase  in  income  from  vessel  operations  before  depreciation, 
amortization,  asset  impairments,  net  loss  (gain)  on  sale  of  vessels  and  equipment,  bargain  purchase  gain  and  the  amortization  of  in-process 
revenue contracts of our four reportable segments. In addition, there was a $125.4 million decrease in interest expense (including interest income 
and  realized  losses  on  interest  rate  swaps)  in  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012  compared  to  the  same  period  in  2011.  Of  the  $125.4  million 
decrease  in  interest  expense,  $149.7  million  was  paid  in  the  year  ended  December  31,  2011  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%, and the termination of a swap. There was a decrease of $20.6 million on expenditures for dry docking 
in the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, which also contributed to the increase in cash flows from operating 
activities.  

Net  cash  flow  from  operating  activities  in  2011  decreased  to  $107.2  million  from  $411.8  million  for  2010.  This  decrease  was  primarily  due  to  a 
$114.2 million net decrease in (loss) income from vessel operations before depreciation, amortization, asset impairments, net loss (gain) on sale of 
vessels and equipment, bargain purchase gain and the amortization of in-process revenue contracts of our four reportable segments. In addition, 
there was a $129.8 million decrease in the change in operating assets and liabilities in 2011 compared to 2010, an d a $132.9 million increase in 
interest  expense  (including  interest  income  and  realized  losses  on  interest  rate  swaps).  The  $129.8  million  decrease  in  the  c hange  in  operating 
assets  and  liabilities  in  2011  compared  to  2010  was  primarily  the  result  of  an  increase  in  accounts  receivable  due  to  increased  activity  in  our 
conventional tanker pools, a decrease in accrued interest and a decrease in deferred revenues. Of the $132.9 million increase in interest expense, 
$92.7 million was paid 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 has been reflected 
as a reduction in the outstanding liability of the interest rate swaps, which are accounted for at fair value. These factors resulting in decreases to 
cash flows from operating activities were partially offset by a $15.5 million increase in dividends received from  our joint ventures and a $20.2 million 
increase from realized gains on foreign currency forward contracts, bunker fuel swap contracts and forward freight agreements in 2011 compared to 
2010.

Financing Cash Flows 

We have three publicly-traded subsidiaries, Teekay LNG, Teekay Offshore and Teekay Tankers (collectively, the Daughter Companies), in which we 
have  less  than  100%  ownership  interests.  It  is  our  intention  that  the  Daughter  Companies  hold  most  of  our  liquefied  gas  transportation  assets 
(Teekay  LNG),  our  offshore  assets,  including  shuttle  tankers,  FPSO  units  and  FSO  units  (Teekay  Offshore),  and  our  conventional  tanker  assets 
(Teekay Tankers). From and including the respective initial public offerings of these subsidiaries, Teekay has been selling assets that are a part of 
these lines of businesses to the Daughter Companies. Historically, the Daughter Companies have distributed operating cash flows to their owners in 
the  form  of  distributions  or  dividends.  The  Daughter  Companies  typically  finance  acquisitions,  including  acquisitions  of  assets  from  Teekay 
Corporation, with a combination of debt and new equity from public or private investors or the assumption of  debt related to acquired vessels. The 
Daughter Companies raised net proceeds from issuances of new equity to the public and to third-party investors of $496.2 million in the year ended 
December 31, 2012, compared to $631.1 million in 2011, and $645.6 million in 2010. As the size of the Daughter Companies have grown through 
acquisitions,  whether  from  Teekay  or  otherwise,  the  amount  of  the  operating  cash  flows  generally  have  increased,  which  has  resulted  in  larger 
aggregate distributions.  Consequently, distributions from the Daughter Companies to non-controlling interests have increased to $246.6 million in 
2012 from $201.9 million in 2011, and from $159.8 million in 2010. 

We use our revolving credit facilities to finance capital expenditures. Occasionally,  we will do this 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. Our proceeds from the issuance of  long-term debt, net of debt issuance costs and prepayments of long-term debt, was $347.1 million in 
the year ended December 31, 2012, and $1,223.0 million in 2011 and $218.7 million in 2010. The net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt 
in 2011 was higher as a result of capital expenditures incurred on our newbuilding projects and our acquisition of FPSO units from Sevan. 

We  actively  manage  the  maturity  profile  of  our  outstanding  financing  arrangements.  Our  scheduled  repayments  of  long-term  debt  were  $266.2 
million in the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $449.6 million in 2011 and $210.0 million in 2010.  

In  October  2010,  Teekay  announced  a  $200  million  share  repurchase  program.   During  2012,  we  repurchased  no  shares  of  our  common  stock. 
During 2011, we repurchased  3.9 million shares of our common stock for $122.2 million  at an average cost of $31.15  per share, pursuant to the 
share repurchase program. 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 program. As at December 31, 2012, the total remaining amount under the share repurchase authorization 
was $37.7 million.

Dividends  paid  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012  were  $83.3  million,  compared  to  $93.5  million  in  2011  and  $92.7  million  in  2010,  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 on our common stock. We have paid a quarterly dividend since 1995. 

Investing Cash Flows 

During  2012,  we  incurred  capital  expenditures  for  vessels  and  equipment  of  $523.6  million,  primarily  for  capitalized  vessel  modifications  and 
shipyard  construction  installment  payments  on  our  newbuilding  shuttle  tankers  and  the  installment  payments  and  conversion  costs  of  our  FPSO 
units under construction or conversion. In November 2012, we prepaid $92.3 million of the Voyageur Spirit purchase price. We received aggregate 
net proceeds of $250.8 million from the sale of the Tiro and Sidon FPSO project to the 50% joint venture with Odebrecht, sale of three conventional 
tankers, sale of two shuttle tankers and the sale of a joint venture. In addition, we invested $183.6 million in our equity accounted investees, mainly 
related to the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture (including working capital contribution and acquisition costs), and advanced $117.2 million to our 
equity accounted investees. 

During  2011,  we  incurred  capital  expenditures  for  vessels  and  equipment  of  $755.0  million,  primarily  for  capitalized  vessel  modifications  and 
shipyard  construction  installment  payments  on  our  newbuilding  shuttle  tankers  and  the  installment  payments  and  conversion  costs  of  our  FPSO 
units under construction/conversion. In addition, we: invested $70.0 million in a term loan that bears interest at an interest rate of 9% per annum and 
has  a  fixed  term of  three  years,  repayable  in  full  on  maturity  and  is  collateralized  by  a  first  priority  mortgage  on  a  2011-built  VLCC;  received  net 
proceeds of $33.4 million from the sale of a 1988-built FSO unit, the sale of a 1993-built Aframax tanker and the sale of equipment related to the 
Tiro and Sidon FPSO project; and invested $322.5 million to acquire FPSO units from Sevan and made a 40% equity investment in a recapitalized 
Sevan.  

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. In addition, we invested $115.6 million in two term loans, received 
net proceeds of $71.0 million from the sale of three Aframax tankers, one product tanker and one LPG carrier, and invested $45.5 million in joint 
ventures.

(1)  Excludes expected interest payments of $111.7 million (2013), $165.4 million (2014 and 2015), $130.5 million (2016 and 2017) and $119.4 million (beyond 2017). 
Expected  interest  payments are based  on  the  existing  interest  rates  (fixed-rate  loans) and LIBOR  at  December  31, 2012, plus margins  on  debt that has  been 
drawn that ranges up to 4.25% (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  on  certain  of  our  floating-rate  debt.  In  November  2011,  we  agreed  to  acquire  the  Voyageur  Spirit  upon  completion  of  its  upgrade.  The 
Voyageur Spirit has been determined to be a VIE and we have been determined to be the primary beneficiary.  As a result, we have consolidated the Voyageur 
Spirit, including its existing U.S. Dollar-denominated term loan outstanding, which totalled $230.4 million as at December 31, 2012.  

(2) 

Includes, in addition to lease payments, amounts we are required to pay to purchase certain leased vessels at the end of the period when cancellation options are 
first exercisable. The purchase price will be based on the unamortized portion of the vessel construction financing costs for the vessels, which are included in the 
table above. 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.  Please read ―Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 9 
– Capital Lease Obligations and Restricted Cash.‖ 

(3)   Existing  restricted  cash  deposits  of  $475.5  million,  together  with  the  interest  earned  on  these  deposits,  are  expected  to  be  sufficient  to  repay  the  remaining 

amounts we currently owe under the lease arrangements.

―Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 9 – Capital Lease Obligations and Restricted Cash.‖ 

(5)   Represents  remaining  construction  costs  (excluding  capitalized  interest  and  miscellaneous  construction  costs  for  four  shuttle  tankers,  two  LNG  carriers,  one 

FPSO unit. Please read ―Financial Statements: Note 16 (a) – Commitments and Contingencies – Vessels Under Construction.‖ 

(6)  We  have  a  50%  interest  in  a  joint  venture  that  has  entered  into  an  agreement  for  the  construction  of  a  VLCC.  As  at  December  31,  2012,  the  remaining 
commitments on this vessel, excluding capitalized interest and other miscellaneous construction costs, totaled $53.9 million, of which our share is $27.0 million. 
Please read ―Financial Statements: Note 16 (b) – Commitments and Contingencies – Joint Ventures.‖ 

(7)   Represents remaining cost to upgrade and acquire the Voyageur Spirit (net of assumed debt of $230 million) as of December 31, 2012, and the total purchase 
price of approximately $55 million to acquire a 2010-built HiLoad Dynamic Positioning (DP) unit from Remora AS. Please read ―Financial Statements: Note 16 (c) 
– Commitments and Contingencies – Purchase Obligation.‖ In February 2013, we acquired a 50% ownership in Exmar LPG BVBA for approximately $134 million, 
which is not included in the above table. Please read ―Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 25 (b) – Subsequent Events.‖ 

(8)  Euro-denominated  and  Norwegian-denominated  obligations  are  presented  in  U.S.  Dollars  and  have  been  converted  using  the  prevailing  exchange  rate  as  of 

December 31, 2012. 

(9)   Excludes  expected  interest  payments  of  $5.5  million  (2013),  $10.2  million  (2014  and  2015),  $9.1  million  (2016  and  2017)  and  $4.9  million  (beyond  2017). 
Expected  interest  payments  are  based  on  EURIBOR  at  December  31,  2012,  plus  margins  that  range  up  to  2.25%,  as  well  as  the  prevailing  U.S.  Dollar/Euro 
exchange  rate  as  of  December  31,  2012.  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 variable-rate debt.  

(10)  Excludes expected interest payments of $23.8 million (2013), $34.3 million (2014 and 2015), $20.8 million (2016 and 2017) and $nil (beyond 2017). Expected 
interest payments are based on NIBOR at December 31, 2012, plus a margin between 4.75% to 5.75%, as well as the prevailing U.S. Dollar/Norwegian Kroner 
exchange rate as of December 31, 2012. The expected interest payments and principal repayments do not reflect the effect of the related cross currency swap 
that we have used as an economic hedge of our foreign exchange and interest rate exposure associated with our Norwegian Kroner-denominated long-term debt. 
The table excludes the NOK bonds issued and repurchased that occurred subsequent to December 31, 2012. 

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, 
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. Our equity accounted 
investments are described in ―Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 23 – Equity Accounted Investments.‖ 

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  account ing  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.  This  means  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  and 
impairment  charges. We  depreciate  the  original  cost,  less  an  estimated  residual  value,  of  our  vessels  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  each  vessel‘s 
estimated  useful  life.  The  carrying  values  of  our  vessels  may  not  represent  their  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 circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset, incl uding the carrying 
value of the charter contract, if any, under which the vessel is employed, may not be recoverable. This occurs when the asset‘s carrying value is 
greater  than  the  future  undiscounted  cash  flows  the  asset  is  expected  to  generate  over  its  remaining  useful  life.  For  a  vessel  under  charter,  the 

60 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
discounted  cash  flows  from  that  vessel  may  exceed  its  market  value,  as  market  values  may  assume  the  vessel  is  not  employed  on  an  existing 
charter. If the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of an asset exceed the asset‘s carrying value, no impairment is recognized even though the 
fair value of the asset may be lower than its  carrying value. If the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of an asset are less than the asset‘s 
carrying value and the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying value, the asset is written down to its fair value.  Fair value is calculated as the 
net present value of estimated future cash flows, which, in certain circumstances, will approximate the estimated market value of the vessel.  

The following table presents by segment the aggregate market values and carrying values of certain of our vessels that we have determined have a 
market  value  that  is  less  than  their  carrying  value  as  of  December  31,  2012.  Specifically,  the  table  below  reflects  all  such  vessels,  except  those 
operating  on  contracts  where  the  remaining  term  is  significant  and  the  estimated  future  undiscounted  cash  flows  relating  to  such  contracts  are 
sufficiently greater than the carrying value of the vessels such that we consider it unlikely that an impairment would be rec ognized in the following 
year. Consequently, the vessels included in the following table  generally include those vessels employed on single-voyage, or "spot" charters, as 
well  as  those  vessels  near  the  end  of  existing  charters  or  other  operational  contracts. While  the  market  values  of  these  vess els  are  below  their 
carrying  values,  no  impairment  has  been  recognized  on  any  of  these  vessels  as  the  estimated  future  undiscounted  cash  flows  relating  to  such 
vessels are greater than their carrying values. 

We  would  consider  the  vessels  reflected  in  the  following  table  to  be  at  a  higher  risk  of  future  impairment.  The  table  is  disaggregated  for  vessels 
which have estimated future undiscounted cash flows that are marginally or significantly greater than their respective carryi ng values. Vessels with 
estimated future cash flows significantly greater than their respective carrying values would not necessarily represent vessels that would likely be 
impaired in the next 12 months. In deciding whether to dispose of a vessel, we determine whether it is economically preferabl e to sell the vessel or 
continue to operate it. This assessment includes an estimate of the net proceeds expected to be received if the vessel is sold in its existing condition 
compared  to  the  present  value  of  the  vessel‘s  estimated  future  revenue,  net  of  operating  costs.  Such  estimates  are  based  on  the  terms  of  the 
existing  charter,  charter  market  outlook  and  estimated  operating  costs,  given  a  vessel‘s  type,  condition  and  age.  In  addition,  we  typically  do  not 
dispose  of  a  vessel  that  is  servicing  an  existing  customer  contract.  The  recognition  of  an  impairment  in  the  future  may  be  more  likely  for  those 
vessels that have estimated future undiscounted cash only marginally greater than their respective carrying value.

Market values are based on second-hand market comparable values or using a depreciated replacement cost approach. Since vessel values can be volatile, our 
estimates of market value may not be indicative of either the current or future prices we could obtain if we sold any of the vessels. In addition, the determination 
of estimated market values for our shuttle tankers and FSO units may involve considerable judgment, given the illiquidity of the second-hand market for these 
types of vessels. The estimated market values for the FSO units in the table above were based on second-hand market comparables for similar vessels. Given 
the advanced age of these vessels, the estimated market values substantially reflect the price of steel and amount of steel in the vessel. The estimated market 
values for the shuttle tankers were based on second-hand market comparable values for conventional tankers of similar age and size, adjusted for shuttle tanker 
specific functionality. 

Judgments  and  Uncertainties.  Depreciation  is  calculated  using  an  estimated  useful  life  of  20  to  25 years  for  conventional  tankers  and  shuttle 
tankers,  20  to  25  years  for  FPSO  units,  and  30  years  for  LPG  carriers  and  35 years  for  LNG  carriers,  commencing  at  the  date  the  vessel  was 
originally delivered from the shipyard. FSO units are depreciated over the term of the contract. However, the actual life of  a vessel may be different 
than  the  estimated  useful  life,  with  a  shorter  actual  useful  life  resulting  in  an  increase  in  quarterly  depreciation  and  pote ntially  resulting  in  an 
impairment loss. The estimated useful life of our vessels takes into account design life, commercial considerations and regulatory restrictions. Our 
estimates  of  future  cash  flows  involve  assumptions  about  future  charter  rates,  vessel  utilization,  operating  expenses,  dry-docking  expenditures, 
vessel  residual  values  and  the  remaining  estimated  life  of  our  vessels.  Our  estimated  charter  rates  are  based  on  rates  under  existing  vessel 
contracts and market rates at which we expect we can re-charter our vessels. Our estimates of vessel utilization, including estimated off-hire time 
and the estimated amount of time our shuttle tankers may spend operating in the spot tanker market when not being used in their capacity as shuttle 
tankers, are based on historical experience and our projections of the number of future shuttle tanker voyages. Our estimates of operating expenses 
and  dry-docking  expenditures  are  based  on  historical  operating  and  dry-docking  costs  and  our  expectations  of  future  inflation  and  operating 
requirements. Vessel residual values are a product of a vessel‘s lightweight tonnage and an estimated scrap rate. The remaining estimated lives of 
our vessels used in our estimates of future cash flows are consistent with those used in the calculations of depreciation.   

In  our  experience,  certain  assumptions  relating  to  our  estimates  of  future  cash  flows  are  more  predictable  by  their  nature,  including  estimated 
revenue under existing contract terms, on-going operating costs and remaining vessel life. Certain assumptions relating to our estimates of future 
cash flows require more discretion and are inherently less predictable, such as future charter rates beyond the firm period of existing contracts and 
vessel  residual  values,  due  to  factors  such  as  the  volatility  in  vessel  charter  rates  and  vessel  values.  We  believe  that  the  assumptions  used  to 
estimate  future  cash  flows  of  our  vessels  are  reasonable  at  the  time  they  are  made.  We  can  make  no  assurances,  however,  as  to  w hether  our 
estimates of future cash flows, particularly future vessel charter rates or vessel values, will be accurate. 

Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. If we conclude that a vessel or equipment is impaired, we recognize a loss in an amount equal to 
the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value at the date of impairment. The written-down amount becomes the new lower cost 
basis and will result in a lower annual depreciation expense than for periods before the vessel impairment. 

Dry docking 

Description. We capitalize a substantial portion of the costs we incur during dry docking and amortize those costs on a straight-line basis over the 
useful life of the dry dock. We expense costs related to routine repairs and maintenance incurred during dry docking that do not improve operating 

61 

 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
efficiency or extend the useful lives of the assets and for annual class survey costs on our FPSO units. When significant dry-docking expenditures 
occur  prior  to  the  expiration  of  the  original  amortization  period,  the  remaining  unamortized  balance  of  the  original  dry-docking  cost  and  any 
unamortized intermediate survey costs are expensed in the period of the subsequent dry dockings. 

Judgments  and  Uncertainties.  Amortization  of  capitalized  dry  dock  expenditures  requires  us  to  estimate  the  period  of  the  next  dry  docking  and 
useful  life  of  dry  dock  expenditures.  While  we  typically  dry  dock  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 dry docking period, 
we may dry dock 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  dry  dock  date  for  a  vessel,  we  will  adjust  our  annual 
amortization of dry docking 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  or  intangible  assets. 
Accordingly, the allocation of the 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 dis count 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, 2012, we had two reporting units with goodwill attributable to them. As of the date of this Annual Report, we do not believe that 
there  is  a  reasonable  possibility  that  the  goodwill  attributable  to  our  two  remaining  reporting  units  with  goodwill  attributable  to  them  might  be 
impaired within the next year as described below. 

Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. As of the date of this Annual Report, we do not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that the 
goodwill attributable to our two reporting units with goodwill attributable to them might be impaired within the next year. H owever, 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. Please read "Part I—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  f low 
hedges  for  accounting  purposes  are  recognized  in  earnings  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  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 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 we determine that a hedge has 
ceased to be highly effective, we will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively. 

Judgments  and  Uncertainties.  A  substantial  majority  of  the  fair  value  of  our  derivative  instruments  and  the  change  in  fair  value  of  our  derivative 
instruments from period to period result from our use of interest rate swap agreements. The fair value of our derivative 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 and the current credit worthiness of ourselves and the swap counterparties. 
The estimated amount is the present value of estimated future cash flows, being equal to the difference between the benchmark interest rate  and 
the fixed rate in the interest rate swap agreement, multiplied by the notional principal amount of the interest rate swap agr eement at each interest 
reset date.   

The  fair  value  of  our  interest  rate  swap  agreements  at  the  end  of  each  period  is  most  significantly  impacted  by  the  interest  rate  implied  by  the 
benchmark interest rate yield curve, including its relative steepness. Interest rates have experienced significant volatility in recent years in both the 
short and long term. While the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements is typically more sensitive to changes in shor t-term rates, significant 
changes in the long-term benchmark interest rate also materially impact our interest rate swap agreements.  

The  fair  value  of  our  interest  rate  swap  agreements  is  also  impacted  by  changes  in  our  specific  credit  risk  included  in  the  discount  factor.  We 
discount our interest rate swap agreements with reference to the credit default swap spreads of similarly rated global industrial companies and by 
considering  any  underlying  collateral.  The  process  of  determining  credit  worthiness  requires  significant  judgment  in  determining  which  source  of 
credit risk information most closely matches our risk profile. 

The  benchmark  interest  rate  yield  curve  and  our  specific  credit  risk  are  expected  to  vary  over  the  life  of  the  interest  rate  swap  agreements.  The 
larger  the  notional  amount  of  the  interest  rate  swap  agreements  outstanding  and  the  longer  the  remaining  duration  of  the  interest  rate  swap 
agreements, the larger the impact of any variability in these factors will be on the fair value of our interest rate swaps. W e economically hedge the 

62 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
interest  rate  exposure  on  a  significant  amount  of  our  long-term  debt  and  for  long  durations.  As  such,  we  have  historically  experienced,  and  we 
expect to continue to experience, material variations in the period-to-period fair value of our derivative instruments.     

Effect  if  Actual  Results  Differ  from  Assumptions.  Although  we  measure  the  fair  value  of  our  derivative  instruments  utilizing  the  inputs  and 
assumptions described above, if we were to terminate the agreements at the reporting date, the amount we would pay or receive to terminate the 
derivative instruments may differ from our estimate of fair value. If the estimated fair value differs from the actual termination amount, an adjustment 
to the carrying amount of the applicable derivative asset or liability would be recognized in earnings for the current period. Such adjustments could 
be material. See "Item 18. Financial Statements: Note 15—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for the effects on the change in fair value 
of our derivative instruments on our consolidated statements of loss.

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 2012 were made under our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. In March 2013, we adopted a 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and suspended the 2003 
Equity Incentive Plan.

Board Practices 

As at December 31, 2012, the Board of Directors consisted of ten 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,  Bjorn  Moller,  and  Peter  Evensen  have  terms  expiring  in  2014.  Directors  Dr. Ian D.  Blackburne, 
William  B.  Berry,  and  C.  Sean  Day  have  terms  expiring  in  2015.  Directors  Peter  S.  Janson,  Eileen  A.  Mercier  and  Tore  I.  Sandv old  have  terms

There are no service contracts between us and any of our directors providing for benefits upon termination of their employment or service.

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  as  they  may  be  changed  from  time  to  time.  In  making  this  determination,  the  Board 
considered  the  relationships  of  Thomas  Kuo-Yuen  Hsu,  Axel  Karlshoej  and  C.  Sean  Day  with  our  largest  shareholder  and  concluded  these 
relationships do  not materially affect their independence as current directors. Please read ―Item 7. Major  Shareholders and C ertain Relationships 
and Related Party Transactions.‖

Crewing and Staff   

As at December 31, 2012, we employed approximately 5,600 seagoing and 900 shore-based personnel, compared to approximately 5,500 seagoing 
and 1,000 shore-based personnel as at December 31, 2011, and 5,500 seagoing and 900 shore-based personnel as at December 31, 2010.  

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 t he International Transport 
Workers‘ Federation (or ITF), and an agreement with ITF London that cover substantially all of our junior officers and seamen. We are also party to 
collective  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. 

We see our commitment to training as fundamental to the development of the highest caliber seafarers for our marine operation s. 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.

also a director of Teekay Tankers Ltd.. Mr. Moller also served as Teekay‘s Chief Executive Officer, Teekay Tankers‘ Chief Executive Officer, and as 
a  Vice  Chairman  and  director  of  each  of  Teekay  Offshore  GP  L.L.C.  and  Teekay  GP  L.L.C.,  in  each  case  until  April  1,  2011.  Pet er  Evensen,  a 
Teekay  director  and  President  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  of Teekay,  is  a  director  of  Teekay  Tankers  and  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Chief 
Financial Officer and a director of each of Teekay Offshore GP L.L.C. and Teekay GP L.L.C.  

Vincent Lok, Teekay's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, is also the Chief Financial Officer of Teekay Tankers. Kenneth Hvid is 
Teekay‘s Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer and is a director of each of Teekay GP L.L.C. and Teekay Offshore GP L.L.C. Bruce 
Chan is the Chief Executive Officer of Teekay Tankers Ltd. and President of Teekay Tanker Services, a division of Teekay. Because the executive 
officers of Teekay Tankers and of the general partners of Teekay Offshore and Teekay LNG are employees of Teekay or other of  its subsidiaries, 
their compensation (other than any awards under the respective long-term incentive plans of Teekay Tankers, Teekay Offshore and Teekay LNG) is 
set and paid by Teekay or such other applicable subsidiaries.  

Pursuant  to  agreements  with  Teekay,  each  of  Teekay  Tankers,  Teekay  Offshore  and  Teekay  LNG  have  agreed  to  reimburse  Teekay  or  its 
applicable  subsidiaries  for  time  spent  by  the  executive  officers  on  management  matters  of  such  public  company  subsidiaries.  For  2012,  these 
reimbursement obligations totaled approximately $2.7 million, $4.0 million, and $3.7 million, respectively, for Teekay Tankers, Teekay Offshore and 
Teekay  LNG,  and  are  included  in  amounts  paid  as  strategic  fees  under  the  management  agreement  for  Teekay  Tankers  and  the  services 
agreements  for  Teekay  Offshore  and  Teekay  LNG  described  below.  For  2010  and  2011,  these  reimbursement  obligations  for  Teekay  Tankers, 
Teekay Offshore and Teekay LNG totaled $1.0 million, $1.7 million and $1.4 million, and $1.7 million, $3.0 million, and $2.4 million, respectively. 

Relationships with Our Public Company Subsidiaries 

Teekay Tankers 

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 Tankers‘ initial public offering in December 2007. Teekay Tankers‘ 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 1, 2013, we owned shares of Teekay Tankers' Class A and Class B common stock that represented an ownership interest of 25.1% 
and voting power of 53.1% of Teekay Tankers' outstanding common stock. 

To December 31, 2012, Teekay Tankers distributed to its stockholders on a quarterly basis all of its Cash Available for Distribution, subject to any 
reserves the board of directors may from time to time determine are required for the prudent conduct of the business. Cash Available for Distribution 
represents Teekay Tankers' net income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, unrealized losses from derivatives, non-cash items and any write-

68 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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  operat ed  by  us.  We 
received  distributions  from  Teekay  Tankers  of  $19.9  million,  $13.4  million  and  $7.1  million,  respectively,  with  respect  to  2010,  2011,  and  2012. 
Effective January 1, 2013, Teekay Tankers announced a change to a fixed dividend policy of $0.12 per share per annum, which, based on our share 
holdings of Teekay Tankers as of January 1, 2013, will result in us receiving distributions of $2.5 million annually from Teekay Tankers. 

Teekay Offshore and Teekay LNG 

Teekay Offshore is a NYSE-listed, Marshall Islands limited partnership, which we formed to further develop our operations in the offshore market. 
Teekay Offshore is an international provider of marine transportation and storage services to the offshore oil industry. We own and control Teekay 
Offshore's general partner, and as of March 1, 2013, we owned a 27.4% limited partner and a 2% general partner interest in Teekay Offshore.  

Teekay LNG is a NYSE-listed, Marshall Islands limited partnership, which we formed to expand our operations in the LNG shipping sector. Teekay 
LNG is an international provider of marine transportation services for LNG, LPG and crude oil. We own and control Teekay LNG's general partner, 
and as of March 1, 2013, we owned a 35.5% limited partner and a 2% general partner interest in Teekay LNG.  

Quarterly Cash Distributions 

We are entitled to distributions on our general and limited partner interests in Teekay Offshore and Teekay LNG, respectively. The general partner 
of each of Teekay Offshore and Teekay LNG is also entitled to distributions payable with respect to incentive distribution rights. Incentive distribution 
rights represent the right to receive an increasing percentage of quarterly distributions of available cash from operating surplus after the minimum 
quarterly  distribution  and  the  target  distribution  levels  have  been  achieved.  In  general,  each  of  Teekay  Offshore  and  Teekay  LNG  pays  quarterly 
cash distributions in the following manner: 

 

 

 

first, 98% to all unitholders, pro rata, and 2% to the general partner, until each unitholder has received a total of $0.4025 (Teekay Offshore) 
or $0.4625 (Teekay LNG) per unit for that quarter; 

second, 85% to all unitholders, and 15% to the general partner, until each unitholder has received a total of $0.4375 (Teekay Offshore) or 
$0.5375 (Teekay LNG) per unit for that quarter; 

third,  75%  to  all  unitholders,  and  25%  to  the  general  partner,  until  each  unitholder  has  received  a  total  of  $0.525  (Teekay  O ffshore)  or 
$0.65 (Teekay LNG) per unit for that quarter; and 

 

thereafter, 50% to all unitholders and 50% to the general partner. 

Teekay  received  total  distributions,  including  incentive  distributions,  from  Teekay  Offshore  of  $32.2  million,  $48.7  million,  and  $56.8  million, 
respectively, with respect to 2010, 2011, and 2012.   

Teekay received total distributions, including incentive distributions, from Teekay LNG of $71.2 million, $76.0 million, and $87.4 million, respectively, 
with respect to 2010, 2011, and 2012. 

Competition with Teekay Tankers, Teekay Offshore and Teekay LNG 

We have 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, FSO units and FPSO units) that 
are  subject  to  contracts  with  a  duration  of  three  years  or  more,  excluding  extension  options,  (b)  neither  Teekay  nor  Teekay  O ffshore  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‘ organization documents provide 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. 

In June 2012, in connection with the acquisition by Teekay Tankers of 13 vessels from Teekay, we entered into a non-competition agreement with 
Teekay Tankers that provides Teekay Tankers with a right of first refusal to participate in any future conventional crude oil tanker and product tanker 
opportunities identified or developed by us for a period of three years.  

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  "Item  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: 

  We have agreed to offer the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit to Teekay Offshore prior to July 9, 2013. The purchase price for the Foinaven 
FPSO  unit  would  be  our  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 an FPSO unit for the 
Tiro and Sidon fields located in the Santos Basin offshore Brazil. The new FPSO unit, Petrojarl Cidade de Itajai, was recently converted 

69 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
from an existing Aframax tanker at a cost of approximately $380 million, of which our share was $190 million,   Petrojarl Cidade de Itajai 
achieved first oil in February 2013 and commenced operations under a nine-year, fixed-rate time-charter-out contract to Petrobras with six 
additional one-year extension options exercisable by Petrobras. In April 2013, pursuant to the omnibus agreement, we offered to Teekay 
Offshore our 50% interest in this FPSO unit at our fully built-up cost. 

 

In November 2011, we agreed to acquire from Sevan Marine ASA (Sevan) the Voyageur Spirit (formerly known as the Sevan Voyageur) 
FPSO unit upon the completion of certain upgrades.  In June 2012, we offered the Voyageur Spirit to Teekay Offshore for a purchase price 
of approximately $540 million. In September 2012, we entered into an agreement to sell, subject to certain conditions, the Voyageur Spirit 
to Teekay Offshore  for such price following its commencement of operations  under a long-term charter contract with E.ON Ruhrgas UK 
E&P Limited (or E.ON). Operations commenced under the charter in April 2013 after the FPSO unit produced ―first oil‖ in the North Sea‘s 
Huntington  Field.  The  charter  contract  has  an  initial  term of  five  years,  with  up  to  10  one-year  extension  options  exercisable  by  E.ON., 
subject to certain conditions. Conditions to the closing of Teekay Offshore's acquisition of the unit include, among others,  Teekay Offshore 
obtaining financing and that we have acquired the Voyageur Spirit and related assets pursuant to the terms of our acquisition agreement 
with Sevan.   

Time Chartering and Bareboat Chartering Arrangements 

Teekay charters in from or out to its public company subsidiaries certain vessels, including the following charter arrangements: 

  During 2012, six of Teekay Offshore's conventional tankers were chartered out to Teekay subsidiaries under long-term time charters. Two 
of  Teekay  Offshore's  shuttle  tankers  are  chartered  out  to  Teekay  subsidiaries  under  long-term  bareboat  charters.  Pursuant  to  these 
charter contracts, Teekay Offshore earned voyage revenues of $119.8 million, $140.9 million, and $102.8 million, respectively , for 2010, 
2011, and 2012. 

 

 

 

Two  of  Teekay  Offshore's  FSO  units  are  chartered  out  to  Teekay  subsidiaries  under  long-term  bareboat  charters.  Pursuant  to  these 
charter contracts, Teekay Offshore earned voyage revenues of $11.2 million, $11.0 million, and $11.2 million, respectively, for 2010, 2011, 
and 2012. 

Beginning August 2008, Teekay had been chartering in from Teekay Tankers the tanker Nassau Spirit under a fixed-rate time charter that 
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 in-charter contract with Teekay and has since expired. During 2010, 2011, and 2012, Teekay Tankers earned revenues of 
$6.9 million, $nil, and $nil respectively, under this time-charter contract. 

Since April 2008, Teekay has chartered in from Teekay LNG the LNG carriers Arctic Spirit and Polar Spirit under a fixed-rate time charter 
for a period of ten years, plus options exercisable by Teekay to extend up to an additional 15 years. During 2010, 2011, and 2012, Teekay 
LNG earned revenues of $36.5 million, $35.1 million, and $37.6 million, respectively, under these time-charter contracts. 

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 reasonable 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  2010, 2011, and 2012, Teekay LNG and Teekay Offshore 
incurred  expenses  of  $18.7  million,  $18.2  million,  and  $22.3  million,  and  $49.6  million,  $60.3    million,  and  $59.9  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  2010, 2011, and 2012, Teekay Tankers 
incurred $5.6 million, $7.5 million, and $9.9 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 2012, 2011 or 2010. 

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 $325 (for the Suezmax tanker pool) to $350 (for the Aframax tanker pool). Voyage revenues and voyage expenses of Teekay Tankers' vessels 
70 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 2010, 2011, and 2012 of $1.9 million, $1.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively. 

Item 8.  Financial Information 

Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes 

Please see Item 18 below for additional information required to be disclosed under this Item. 

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 cour se 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. For information about a recent legal proceeding, please r ead "Item 18. Financial 
Statements: Note 16 (d)—Legal Proceedings and Claims."  

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.  

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.

Exchange Controls and Other Limitations Affecting Security Holders 

We are not aware of any governmental laws, decrees or regulations, including foreign exchange controls, in the Republic of The Marshall Isl ands 
that  restrict  the  export  or  import  of  capital  or  that  affect  the  remittance  of  dividends,  interest  or  other  payments  to  non-resident  holders  of  our 
securities. 

We are not aware of any limitations on the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold or vote our securities imposed by the laws of the Republic 
of The Marshall Islands or our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. 

Taxation  

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), legislative history, applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations (or 
Treasury Regulations), judicial authority and administrative interpretations, all as in effect on 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 common 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 c ategories 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 any 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 in 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 (i) a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien, (ii) 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, (iii) an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, 
or (iv) 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 U.S. 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  and  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 

73 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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  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 st ock 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 becomes 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 
U.S. Individual Holder.  

Special  rules  may  apply  to  any  ―extraordinary  dividend‖  paid  by  us.  An  extraordinary  dividend  is,  generally,  a  dividend  with  respect  to  a  share  of 
stock if the amount of the dividend is equal to or in excess of 10% of a stockholder‘s adjusted basis (or fair market value in certain cir cumstances) in 
such stock. In addition, extraordinary dividends include dividends received within a one year period that, in the aggregate, equal or exceed 20% of a 
shareholder‘s adjusted tax basis.  If we pay an ―extraordinary dividend‖ on our common stock that is treated as ―qualified di vidend 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. Individual  Holders  are  subject  to  a  3.8%  tax  on  certain  investment  income,  including  dividends,  for  taxable  years  beginning  after 
December 31,  2012.  U.S. Individual  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 

Subject to the discussion of PFICs below, 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. Individual Holders are subject to a 3.8% tax on certain investment income, including capital gains from the sale or other dis position of 
stock for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012. U.S. Individual Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of 
this tax 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 2010-01) 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‘ current 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. 

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  taxable  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 each taxable year for which we are a PFIC that ends 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  pro  rata  share  would  not  exceed  the  income  allocable  to  dividends  on  our 
shares, although ordinary earnings could be allocated to a shareholder in a taxable year before the dividend is paid. 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 

74 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
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  U.S.  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 U.S. Holder‘s holding period of our common st ock during 
which we qualified as a PFIC, the U.S. Holder may be treated as having made a timely QEF election by filing a QEF election with the U.S. 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 U.S. Holder would otherwise recognize if the U.S. 
Holder  sold  the  U.S.  Holder‘s  common  stock  on  the  ―qualification  date.‖  The  qualification  date  is  the  first  day  of  our  taxabl e  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 U.S. 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 U.S. Holder‘s holding 
period of our common stock during which we qualified as a PFIC and the U.S. Holder did not make the deemed sale election described above, the 
U.S. Holder also will be subject to the more adverse rules described below.  

A U.S. Holder‘s QEF election will not be effective unless we annually provide the U.S. Holder with certain information concerning our income and 
gain,  calculated  in  accordance  with  the  Code,  to  be  included  with  the  U.S.  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 U.S. 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  U.S.  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 U.S. 
Holder held our common stock and for which (i) we were not a QEF with respect to such U.S. Holder and (ii) such U.S. Holder did not make a timely 
mark-to-market election, such U.S. Holder would also be subject to the more adverse rules described below in the first taxable year f or 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  U.S.  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, a U.S. Holder would be required to file Form 8621 annually with the IRS with respect to the U.S. Holder‘s common 
stock.    In  addition,  if  a  Non-Electing  Holder  who  is  an  individual  dies  while  owning  our  common  stock,  such  Non-Electing  Holder‘s  successor 
generally would not receive a step-up in tax basis with respect to such 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%  of  either  the  total  combined  voting  power  of  our 
75 

 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
outstanding  shares  entitled  to  vote  or  the  total  value  of  all  of  our  outstanding  shares,  we  generally  would  be  treated  as  a  c ontrolled  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 

U.S.  Individual  Holders  who  hold  certain  specified  foreign  financial  assets,  including  stock  in  a  foreign  corporation  that  is   not  held  in  an  account 
maintained by a financial institution, with an aggregate value in excess of $50,000, may be required to report such assets on IRS Form 8938 with 
their U.S. federal income tax return.  Penalties apply for failure to properly complete and file Form 8938.  You are encouraged to consult with your 
tax advisor regarding the possible application of this disclosure requirement. 

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.

In general, 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 Non-U.S. Holder is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which such disposition occurs 
and meets 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 the U.S. Holder has failed to report all interest or distributions required to be shown on the U.S. Holder‘s 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 Considerations 

Marshall Islands Tax Considerations. 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  b e  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 we 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, dry  docking and overhead costs in foreign currencies, the most significant of which  are the Australian Dollar, Brit ish 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  our  net  foreign  currency  exposure  for  the 
following 9-12 months. We generally do not hedge our net foreign currency exposure beyond three years forward.  

As at December 31, 2012, 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, 2012, we had Euro-
denominated  term  loans  of  258.8  million  Euros  ($341.4  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 
net exposure to fluctuations in the Euro will not increase in the future. 

We enter into cross currency swaps and pursuant to these swaps we receive the principal amount in Norwegian Kroner (or NOK) on the maturity 
date  of  the  swap,  in  exchange  for  payment  of  a  fixed  U.S.  Dollar  amount.  In  addition,  the  cross  currency  swaps  exchange  a  rec eipt  of  floating 
interest in Norwegian Kroner based on NIBOR plus a margin for a payment of US Dollar fixed interest or US Dollar floating interest based on LIBOR 
plus a margin. The  purpose of the cross currency swaps is to economically hedge the foreign currency exposure  on the payment  of interest and 
principal of our Norwegian Kroner Bonds due in 2013, 2015 and 2017. In addition, the cross currency swaps due in 2015 and 2017 economically 
hedges the interest rate exposure on the Norwegian Kroner Bonds due in 2015 and 2017. We have not designated, for accounting  purposes, these 
cross  currency  swaps  as  cash  flow  hedges  of  its  Norwegian  Kroner  Bonds  due  in  2013,  2015  and  2017.  As  at  December  31,  2012,  we  were 
committed to the following cross currency swaps:

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 economically 
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 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. 

The  table  below  provides  information  about  our  financial  instruments  at  December  31,  2012,  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,  2012,  ranged from  0.3% to  4.25%.  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  and  Norwegian  Kroner-denominated  amounts  have  been converted  to  U.S.  Dollars  using  the  prevailing  exchange  rate  as  of  December  31, 

2012. 

(5) 

Interest  payments on  our  NOK-denominated debt  and  on  our cross currency  swaps  are  based  on  NIBOR.  Our  NOK-denominated  debt  has been  economically 
hedged  with  four  cross  currency  swaps,  to  swap  all  interest  and  principal  payments  at  maturity  into  U.S.  Dollars,  with  the  interest  payments  fixed  at  a  rate  of 
5.52%, 7.49%, 6.88% and interest rate payments swapped from NIBOR plus a margin of 4.75% into LIBOR plus a margin of 5.04% and the transfer of principal 
fixed at $122.8 million, $101.4 million, $125.0 million and $98.5 million upon maturity in exchange for NOK 700 million, NOK 600 million, NOK 700 million and NOK 
600 million, respectively. 

(6)  Under  the terms  of  the  capital  leases  for  three  LNG  carriers  (or  the  RasGas  II  LNG  Carriers),  (see  "Item  18  –  Financial  Statements:  Note  10  –  Capital  Lease 
Obligations and Restricted Cash" of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2012), 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, 2012 totaled $475.5 million, and the lease obligations, which as at  December 31, 2012 totaled $472.1 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,  2012,  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 $412.9 million and $469.3 million, ($110.6) million and $165.7 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.

(8)  The average interest rate is the weighted-average interest rate implicit in the capital lease obligations at the inception of the leases. Interest rate adjustments on 

these leases have corresponding adjustments in charter receipts under the terms of the charter contracts to which these leases relate to. 

(9)  The average variable receive rate for our interest rate swaps is set quarterly at the 3-month LIBOR or semi-annually at the 6-month LIBOR. 

(10)  Includes an interest rate swap where the LIBOR rate receivable is capped at 3.5% on a notional amount of $98.5 million maturing in 2013. 

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, 2012 and 2011, 
we were not committed to any bunker fuel swap contracts.  

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, 2012 and 2011, we had no FFA commitments.

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, 2012. 

During the year ended 2012, we implemented a new accounting system designed to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our accounting and 
financial reporting processes. Although this implementation changed certain specific activities within the accounting functi on, it did not significantly 
affect  the  overall  controls  and  procedures  followed  by  the  Company  in  establishing  internal  controls  over  financial  reporting.  Other  than  this 
accounting system implementation, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under 
the Exchange Act) that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2012 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  are  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  as  to  the  reliability  of  our  financial  reporting  and  the  p reparation  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) 

79 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 controls 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, 2012. 

Our independent auditors, KPMG 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 financi al reporting can be found on 
page F-3 of this Annual Report.

Audit-related fees consisted primarily of accounting consultations, employee benefit plan audits, services related to business acquisitions, divestitures and other 
attestation services.  

For 2012 and 2011, tax fees principally included international tax planning fees and corporate tax compliance fees. 

All other fees principally include subscription fees to an internet database of accounting information. 

Total fees incurred with respect to KPMG LLP were approximately $3,555,000 and $2,938,000 for 2012 and 2011, respectively. Total fees incurred with respect 
to Ernst & Young LLP were approximately $1,240,000 for 2011. 

The  Audit  Committee  has  the  authority  to  pre-approve  audit-related  and  non-audit  services  not  prohibited  by  law  to  be  performed  by  our 
independent auditors and associated fees. Engagements for proposed services either may be separately pre-approved by the Audit Committee or 
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 accountants in 2012.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders  
TEEKAY CORPORATION 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Teekay Corporation and subsidiaries (the ―Company‖) 
as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of loss, comprehensive loss, cash flows and 
changes in total equity for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2012. These consolidated financial 
statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Company‘s  management.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these 
consolidated financial  statements based on our audit. The accompanying consolidated statements of loss, comprehensive 
loss, cashflows and changes in total equity of Teekay Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2010 were audited by 
other auditors whose report thereon dated April 13, 2011, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. 

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  consolidated  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  financial 
position of the Company as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of 
the  years  in  the  two  year  period  ended  December  31,  2012,  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), the Company‘s internal control over financial reporting  as of December 31,  2012, 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 29, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company‘s internal control 
over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM  

The Board of Directors and Stockholders  
TEEKAY CORPORATION 

We  have  audited  Teekay  Corporation  and  subsidiaries  ("the  Company")  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of 
December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee 
of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  (COSO).  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, and testing and 
evaluating  the  design  and  operating  effectiveness  of  internal  control  based  on  the  assessed  risk.  Our  audit  also  included 
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  U.S.  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,  the  Company  maintained,  in  all  material  respects,  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of 
December 31, 2012 based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of 
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). 

We  also  have  audited,  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United 
States), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated 
statements of loss, comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in total equity for each of the years in the two year period 
ended  December  31,  2012,  and  our  report  dated  April  29,  2013  expressed  an  unqualified  opinion  on  those  consolidated 
financial statements.

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 U.S. 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  may  differ  from  those  estimates.  Give n  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  relating  to  the 
reclassification of prepaid expenses of $10.1 million less accounts payable of $4.0 million as at December 31, 2011 into accounts receivable in 
the consolidated balance sheets.   

Reporting currency 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  are  stated  in  U.S.  Dollars.  The  functional  currency  of  the  Company  is  the  U.S.  Dollar  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 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 off hire. 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 offloading (or FPSO) 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.  Revenues  and  expenses  relating  to  engineering  studies  are  recognized  when  service  is 
completed, unless the expenses are not recoverable in which case the expenses are recognized as incurred. 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 revenue s 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 were no significant amounts recorded as allowance for doubtful accounts as at December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010. 

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 loss.  Realized gains and

TEEKAY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share data) 

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 tankers carrying crude oil and refined product, 20 to 30 years for FPSO units, 35 years 
for liquefied natural gas (or LNG) and 30 years for 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 those periods of time. Floating storage and 
off  take (or FSO) units are depreciated over the term of the contract. Depreciation includes depreciation on all owned vessels and amortization 
of vessels accounted for as capital leases. Depreciation of vessels and equipment, excluding amortization of dry docking expenditures, for the 
years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 aggregated $364.3 million, $356.0 million and $355.5 million, respectively. Amortization of 
vessels accounted for as capital leases was $30.1 million, $34.7 million and $33.5 million for the years ended  December 31, 2012, 2011, and 
2010, respectively.  

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, 2012, 2011, and 2010, aggregated $34.9 million, $8.1 
million and $14.0 million, respectively. 

Generally,  the  Company  dry  docks  each  tanker  and  gas  carrier  every  two  and  a  half  to  five  years.  The  Company  capitalizes  a  substantial 
portion of the costs incurred during dry docking and amortizes those costs on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life, which typically 
is from the completion of a dry docking or intermediate survey to the estimated completion of the next dry docking. The Company includes in 
capitalized  dry  docking  those  costs  incurred  as  part  of  the  dry  dock  to  meet  classification  and  regulatory  requirements.    The  Company 
expenses costs related to routine repairs and maintenance performed during dry docking, and for annual class survey costs on  the Company‘s 
FPSO units.  

Dry docking activity for the three years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, 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.  The  estimated  fair  value  for  the  Company‘s 
impaired  vessels  is  determined  using  discounted  cash  flows  or appraised  values.  In  cases  where  an  active  second  hand  sale  and  purchase 
market does not exist, the Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of an impaired vessel. In cases where an 
active second hand sale and purchase market exists an appraised value is used to estimate the fair value of an impaired vessel. An appraised 
value is generally the amount the Company would  expect to receive if it were to sell the vessel. Such appraisal is normally completed by the 
Company and based on second-hand sale and purchase 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 (i) employs two vessels on long-term time charters and employs an FSO unit, and (ii) 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, the value of any collateral, 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 loss.  

The  following  table  contains  a  summary  of  the  Company‘s  financing  receivables  by  type  of  borrower,  the  method  by  which  the  Company 
monitors the credit quality of its financing receivables on a quarterly basis, and the grade as of December 31, 2012.

(1)  The Company‘s subsidiary Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (or Teekay LNG) owns a 99% interest in Teekay Tangguh Borrower LLC (or Teekay Tangguh), which 
owns a 70% interest in Teekay BLT Corporation (or Teekay Tangguh Subsidiary).  During the year ended December 31, 2012, one of Teekay LNG‘s joint 
venture partner‘s parent company, PT Berlian Laju Tanker (or BLT), suspended trading on the Jakarta Stock Exchange and entered into a court-supervised 
restructuring under the Suspension of Payment process in Indonesia, in order to restructure its debts. The Company believes the loans to BLT and Teekay 
LNG‘s joint venture partner, BLT LNG Tangguh Corporation, totaling $24.0 million as at December 31, 2012 (2011 - $19.1 million) are collectible given the 
expected cash flows anticipated to be generated by the Teekay Tangguh Subsidiary that can be used to repay the loan and given the underlying collateral 
securing the loans to BLT. 

(2)  Subsequent to December 31, 2012, the borrower did not pay in full the January 31, 2013 interest payment. It is expected that  the Company will recover all 
amounts due under the loan agreements based upon cash flow generated by the borrower, financial support from the borrower‘s ultimate parent company 
and the Company realizing the value of the primary collateral, two 2010-built Very Large Crude Carriers. 

(3)  As of December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of the asset that has been pledged as collateral for the loan is greater than 95% of the principal amount of 
the loan and unpaid interest. Subsequent to the end of the year, the borrower did not pay in full the January 31, 2013 interest payment. Based on a review of 
the borrower‘s financial condition, it is expected that a full recovery of all amounts due under the loan agreement will be dependent upon cash flow generated 
by the borrower, financial support from the borrower‘s ultimate parent company and the Company realizing the value of the primary collateral, a 2011-built 
Very Large Crude Carrier. 

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 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share data) 

Derivative instruments 

All derivative instruments are initially recorded at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets 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  does  not  apply  hedge  accounting  to  its  derivative  instruments,  except  for  certain  foreign  exchange  currency 
contracts and certain types of interest rate swaps that it may enter into in the future (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 ga ins 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. 

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 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  statements  of  loss.  The  ineffective  portion  of  the  change  in  fair  value  of  the  derivative 
financial instruments is immediately recognized in earnings in the consolidated statements of loss. If a cash flow hedge is t erminated 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  statements  of  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 statements of loss. 

For derivative financial instruments that are not designated or that do not qualify as hedges under  Financial Accounting Standards Board (or 
FASB)  Accounting  Standards  Codification  (or  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 loss. 

Goodwill and intangible assets  

Goodwill is not amortized, but reviewed for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis or more frequently if an event occurs or 
circumstances  change  that  would  more  likely  than  not  reduce  the  fair  value  of  a  reporting  unit  below  its  carrying  value.  When  goodwill  is 
reviewed for impairment, the Company may elect to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not  that the fair value 
of a reporting  unit is less than its carrying amount, including  goodwill. Alternatively, the  Company may bypass this step and  use a fair  value 
approach 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.  Intangible  assets  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 and contracts of affreightment. 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.  

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 2018. 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, 2012, the ARO and associated receivable 
which is recorded in other non-current assets from third parties were $24.7 million and $6.4 million, respectively (2011 - $21.2 million and $6.1 
million, respectively).

TEEKAY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share data) 

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 publicly listed 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. 

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 March 2008, an interim distribution was made to certain participants with a value of 
$13.3 million, paid 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  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,  2012,  the  Company  recorded  an  expense  from the  VIP  of  $nil  ($1.3  million  –  2011  and  $2.4  million  – 
2010), which is included in general and administrative expense. As at December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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. 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.

TEEKAY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share data) 

Employee pension plans 

The  Company  has  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 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 r ecognizes as a 
component of other comprehensive loss, the gains or losses that arise during a period but that are not recognized as part of net periodic benefit 
costs.  

Earnings (loss) per common share  

The computation of basic earnings (loss) 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. The computation of diluted loss per share does not assume such exercises.  

Adoption of new accounting pronouncements 

In January 2012, the Company adopted an amendment to FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, which clarifies or changes the application 
of existing fair value measurements, including: that the highest and best use and valuation premise in a fair value measur ement are relevant 
only when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets; that a reporting entity should measure the fair value of its own equity instrument from 
the perspective of a market participant that holds that instrument as an asset; to permit  an entity to measure the fair value of certain financial 
instruments on a net basis rather than based on its gross exposure when the reporting entity manages its financial instrument s on the basis of 
such net exposure; that in the  absence of  a Level  1 input, a reporting  entity should  apply premiums and discounts when market participants 
would  do  so  when  pricing  the  asset  or  liability  consistent  with  the  unit  of  account;  and  that  premiums  and  discounts  related  to  size  as  a 
characteristic  of  the  reporting  entity‘s  holding  are  not  permitted  in  a  fair  value  measurement.  The  adoption  of  this  standard  did  not  have  an 
impact on the Company‘s consolidated financial statements other than the disclosures as presented in note 3 – Financial Instruments. 

2.  Segment Reporting 

The  Company  is  a  leading  provider  of  international  crude  oil  and  gas  marine  transportation  services  and  also  offers  offshore  oil  production 
storage and offloading services, primarily under long-term fixed-rate contracts.  

The  Company  has  four  reportable  segments:  its  shuttle  tanker  and  FSO  segment  (or  Teekay  Shuttle  and  Offshore),  its  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:  (i)  are  subject  to  long-term,  fixed-rate 
time-charter contracts, which have an original term of one year or more; (ii) operate in the spot tanker market; or (iii) 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 are the same as those used in the preparation of the Company‘s consolidated financial statements. 

The following tables present results for these segments for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010.

3.  Acquisitions 

a)  FPSO Units and Investment in Sevan Marine ASA 

On November 30, 2011, the Company acquired from Sevan Marine ASA (or Sevan) the FPSO unit Sevan Hummingbird (or Hummingbird Spirit) 
and  its  existing  customer  contract  for  approximately  $184  million  (including  an  adjustment  for  working  capital)  and  made  an  investment  of 
approximately  $25  million  to  obtain  a  40%  ownership  interest  in  a  recapitalized  Sevan.  The  Company  also  entered  into  a  cooperation 
agreement with  Sevan relating to  joint marketing of offshore  projects, the development of future projects, and the financing  of such projects. 
Concurrently,  the  Company‘s  subsidiary  Teekay  Offshore  Partners  L.P.  (or  Teekay  Offshore)  acquired  from  Sevan  the  FPSO  unit  Sevan 
Piranema (or Piranema Spirit) and its existing customer contract  for approximately $164 million (including an adjustment for working capital). 
The  purchase  price  for  the  acquisitions  of  the  Hummingbird  Spirit,  the  Piranema  Spirit  and  the  investment  in  Sevan  were  paid  in  cash  and 
financed by a combination of new debt facilities, a private placement of Teekay Offshore common units and existing liquidity. 

On November 30, 2011, the Company also entered into an agreement to acquire the FPSO unit  Sevan Voyageur (or Voyageur Spirit) and its 
existing customer contract from Sevan. The Company has agreed to acquire the Voyageur Spirit once the existing upgrade project is completed 
and the Voyageur Spirit commences operations under its customer contract, which occurred in April 2013. Under the terms of the agreement, 
the Company will pay Sevan $94 million to acquire the Voyageur Spirit, will assume the Voyageur Spirit‘s existing $230.0 million credit facility, 
which had an outstanding balance of $220.5 million on November 30, 2011, and is responsible for all upgrade costs after November 30, 2011, 
which are estimated to be between $140 million and $150 million (see Note 16c).  The Company has control over the upgrade project and has 
guaranteed the repayment of the existing credit facility. The Voyageur Spirit has been consolidated by the Company since November 30, 2011, 
as the Voyageur Spirit has been determined to be a variable interest entity (or VIE) and the Company has been determined to be the primary 
beneficiary. The following table summarizes the balance sheet of the Voyageur Spirit as at December 31, 2012:

TEEKAY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share data) 

The  2009-built  Voyageur  Spirit FPSO  unit  operated  successfully  on  the  Shelley  field  in  the  UK  sector  of the  North  Sea  from August  2009  to 
August 2010. The unit under-went an upgrade prior to commencement of its charter contract with E.ON Ruhrgas UK E&P on the Huntington 
field in the UK sector of the North Sea. The charter commenced in April 2013 and has a firm period of five years, with extension options.  

This transaction consolidates the industry in the harsh environment FPSO space, broadens the Company‘s FPSO offering to include both ship 
shape  and  cylindrical  FPSO  solutions  and  was  concluded  at  an  attractive  price.  The  Company  recognized  a  total  bargain  purchase  gain  of 
$68.5  million  related  to  the  acquisition  of  the  FPSO  units  and  the  40%  equity  investment  in  Sevan.  The  gain  has  been  recorded  in  the 
consolidated statements of loss for the year ended December 31, 2011.  

During 2011, Sevan encountered severe financial difficulties following significant cost overruns on the upgrade of the  Voyageur Spirit and was 
unable  to  service its  existing  financial  obligations.  The  acceptance  of  the  Company‘s  offer  and  the  recognition  of  the  bargai n  purchase  gain, 
was in part due to the Company‘s ability to structure the transaction in a way that would satisfy all the various stakeholders, including Sevan‘s 
management, lenders, customers and shareholders, within a short time frame, the Company‘s financial strength and limited competition in the 
transaction. As a result, the Company was able to purchase this business at a discount in this distressed acquisition situation.   

The  Company‘s  acquisition  was  accounted  for  using  the  purchase  method  of  accounting,  based  upon  estimates  of  fair  value.  The  purchase 
price allocation was finalized in 2012 and there were changes to the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the 
Company.  The  changes  are  summarized  in  the  table  below.    The  Company‘s  2011  consolidated  financial  statements  were  retroactively 
adjusted  to  include  the  impact  of  the  revisions  to  the  Company‘s  preliminary  purchase  price  allocation.    The  operating  results  of  the 
Hummingbird Spirit, Piranema Spirit and Voyageur Spirit are reflected in the Company‘s consolidated financial statements from November 30, 
2011, the effective date of acquisition. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized $14.5 million of revenue and $68.4 
million of net income, including the bargain purchase gain, resulting from these acquisitions. In addition, the Company incur red $1.1 million of 
acquisition-related expenses, which are reflected in general and administrative expenses.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share data) 

b)   Teekay LNG – Marubeni Joint Venture 

In February 2012, a joint venture between the Company‘s subsidiary Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (or  Teekay LNG) and Marubeni Corporation 
(or  Teekay  LNG-Marubeni  Joint  Venture)  acquired  a  100%  interest  in  six  LNG  carriers  from  Denmark-based  A.P.  Moller-Maersk  A/S  for 
approximately $1.3 billion. The Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture financed this acquisition with $1.06 billion from secured loan facilities and 
an aggregate of $266 million from equity contributions from Teekay LNG and Marubeni Corporation. Teekay LNG has agreed to guarantee its 
52% share of the secured loan facilities of the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture and, as a result, deposited $30 million in a restricted cash 
account as security. Teekay LNG has a 52% economic interest in the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture and, consequently, its share of the 
equity contribution was approximately $138.2 million. Teekay LNG also contributed an additional $5.8 million for its share of legal and financing 
costs. Teekay LNG financed this equity contribution by borrowing under its existing credit facilities. This jointly-controlled entity is accounted for 
using the equity method.  

4. 

Investment in Term Loans 

In February 2011, Teekay made a $70 million term loan (or the 2011 Loan) to an unrelated ship-owner of a 2011-built Very Large Crude Carrier 
(or VLCC). The 2011 Loan bears interest at 9% per annum, which is payable quarterly. The 2011 Loan is repayable in full in February 2014. 
However,  it  may  be  repaid  prior  to  maturity  at  the  option  of  the  borrower.  The  2011  Loan  is  collateralized  by  a  first-priority  mortgage  on  the 
VLCC, together with other related collateral.  

In  July  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 include a repayment premium feature which provides a total investment yield of approximately 10% per annum.  The 9% interest income is 
received  in  quarterly  installments  and  the  Loans  and  repayment  premium  are  payable  in  full  at  maturity  in  July  2013  when  the  repayment 
premium of 3% is calculated on the principal amount of the Loan outstanding at maturity.  As at December 31, 2012 and 2011, the repayment 
premium  included  in  the  principal  balance  was  $2.7  million  and  $1.5  million,  respectively.  The  Loans  are  collateralized  by  fi rst-priority 
mortgages on two 2010-built VLCCs owned by a shipowner based in Asia, together with other related security. The Loans can be repaid prior to 
maturity, at the option of the borrower.  

The borrower on the 2011 Loan and the Loans is facing financial difficulty and subsequent to December 31, 2012 has defaulted  on its interest 
payment  obligations  since  January  31,  2013.   If  the  borrower  continues  to  be  unable  to  make  interest  payments  or  to  repay  principal  under 
these term loans, Teekay and Teekay Tankers may need to seek to foreclose on the security interests in the VLCCs.  

Interest income in respect of the investments in the term loans is included in revenues in the consolidated statements of loss. As at  December 
31, 2012 and 2011, $2.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively, in interest receivable  from the investment in these term loans were recorded in 
the consolidated balance sheets as accounts receivable.  

The  maximum potential  loss  relating  to  these  loans  is  the  Company‘s  original  investment  of  $185.6  million  and  any  unpaid  interest,  less  the 
realized value of the underlying collateral. 

 5.  Financing Transactions 

Teekay LNG  and Teekay Offshore are limited partnerships formed by the Company as part of its strategy to expand its operations primarily in 
the LNG and LPG shipping sector (Teekay LNG) and to expand its operations in the offshore oil marine transportation, production, processing 
and storage sectors (Teekay Offshore). Teekay Tankers is a corporation formed by the Company to provide international marine  transportation 
of  crude  oil  and  refined  products.  As  of  December  31,  2012,  Teekay  owned  a  37.5%  interest  in  Teekay  LNG  (40.1%  -  December  31,  2011), 
including  common  units  and  its  2%  general  partner  interest,  a  29.4%  interest  in  Teekay  Offshore  (33.0%  -  December  31,  2011),  including 
common units and its 2% general partner  interest and 25.1% of the capital stock of Teekay Tankers (26.0%  - December 31, 2011), 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 maintains control of Teekay  LNG  and Teekay Offshore by virtue of its control of the 
general partner of each partnership and thus consolidates these subsidiaries. Teekay has entered into an omnibus agreement with Teekay LNG 
and Teekay Offshore 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. In addition, 
Teekay  has  entered  into  a  non-competition  agreement  with  Teekay  Tankers,  which  provides  Teekay  Tankers  with  a  right  of  first  refusal  to 
participate  in  any  future  conventional  crude  oil  tanker  and  product  tanker  opportunities  developed  by  Teekay  for  a  period  of  three  years  from 
June 2012. 

During  the  years  ended  December  31,  2012,  2011,  and  2010,  the  Company‘s  publicly  traded  subsidiaries,  Teekay  Tankers, Teekay  Offshore 
and Teekay LNG completed the following public offerings and equity placements:

A goodwill impairment charge of $36.7 million was recognized in the Company‘s consolidated statements of loss for the year ended December 
31,  2011  in  respect  of  its  Suezmax  tanker  reporting  unit.  The  fair  value  of  this  reporting  unit  was  determined  using  the  present  value  of 
expected  future  cash  flows  discounted  at  a  rate  equivalent  to  a  market  participant‘s  weighted-average  cost  of  capital.  The  estimates  and 
assumptions regarding expected future cash flows and the appropriate discount rates are in part based upon existing contracts, future tanker 
market rates, historical experience, financial forecasts and industry trends and conditions. The  recognition of the goodwill  impairment charge 
was driven by the continuing weak tanker market, which has largely been caused by an oversupply of vessels relative to demand.

Aggregate amortization expense of intangible assets for the year ended  December 31, 2012,  was $17.2 million (2011 - $19.1 million, 2010 - 
$26.2 million), which is included in depreciation and amortization. Amortization of intangible assets for the five years following 2012 is expected 
to  be  $18.4  million  (2013),  $13.0  million  (2014),  $11.9  million  (2015),  $10.9  million  (2016),  $9.9  million  (2017)  and  $62.0  million  (thereafter). 
During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012,  unfavorable  customer  contracts  with  a  carrying  value  of  $5.9  million  were  reclassifi ed  from 
intangible assets to in-process revenue contracts. 

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.  

In-Process Revenue Contracts 

As part of the Company‘s acquisition of FPSO units from Sevan and its 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 contracts and time charter-out 
contracts with terms that were less favorable than the then prevailing market terms. At the time of the acquisitions, the Company 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.  

Amortization  of  in-process  revenue  contracts  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012  was  $72.9  million  (2011  -  $46.4  million,  2010  -  $48.3 
million), which is included in revenues on the consolidated statements of loss. Amortization for the five years following  2012 is expected to be 
$61.7 million (2013), $40.2 million (2014), $19.8 million (2015), $19.8 million (2016), $19.8 million (2017) and $80.3 million (thereafter).

TEEKAY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share data) 

As  of  December  31,  2012,  the  Company  had  15  revolving  credit  facilities  (or  the  Revolvers)  available,  which,  as  at  such  date,  provided  for 
aggregate  borrowings  of  up  to  $2.8  billion,  of  which  $1.2  billion  was  undrawn.  Interest  payments  are  based  on  LIBOR  plus  margins;  at 
December  31,  2012,  and  December  31,  2011,  the  margins  ranged  between  0.45%  and  3.25%.  At  December  31,  2012,  and  December  31, 
2011, the three-month LIBOR was 0.31% and 0.58%, respectively. The total amount available under the Revolvers reduces by $740.8 million 
(2013), $741.3 million (2014), $226.4 million (2015), $346.4 million (2016), $463.0 million (2017) and $321.0 million (thereafter).The Revolvers 
are  collateralized  by  first-priority  mortgages  granted  on  58  of  the  Company‘s  vessels,  together  with  other  related  security,  and  include  a 
guarantee from Teekay or its subsidiaries for all outstanding amounts. 

The Company‘s 8.5% senior unsecured notes (or the 8.5% Notes) are due January 15, 2020 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  through  the  maturity  date  of  the  notes  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  8.5%  Notes.  The  8.5%  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 
are  not  guaranteed  by  any  of  Teekay‘s  subsidiaries  and  effectively  rank  behind  all  existing  and  future  secured  debt  of  Teekay  and  other 
liabilities of its subsidiaries.  

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 princ ipal 
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 had been made as at December 31, 2012. 

In  November  2010,  Teekay  Offshore  issued  in  the  Norwegian  bond  market  NOK  600  million  of  senior  unsecured  bonds  that  mature  in 
November  2013.  As  at  December  31,  2012,  the  carrying  amount  of  the  bonds  was  $107.8  million.  The  bonds  are  listed  on  the  Oslo  Stock 
Exchange. Interest payments on the bonds are based on NIBOR plus a margin of 4.75%. Teekay Offshore entered into a cross currency rate 
swap to swap all interest and payments into U.S. Dollars with interest rate payments swapped from NIBOR plus a margin of 4.75% into LIBOR 
plus a margin of 5.04% and the transfer of the principal amount fixed at $98.5 million upon maturity in exchange for NOK 600 million.  Teekay 
Offshore also entered into an interest rate swap to swap the interest payments from LIBOR to a fixed rate of 1.12%. The floating LIBOR rate 
receivable  from  the  interest  rate  swap  is  capped  at  3.5%,  which  effectively  results  in  a  fixed  rate  of  1.12%  unless  LIBOR  exceeds  3.5%,  in 
which case Teekay Offshore‘s related interest rate effectively floats at LIBOR, but reduced by 2.38% (see Note 15). 

In January 2012,  Teekay Offshore issued in the Norwegian bond market NOK 600 million of senior unsecured bonds that mature in January 
2017. As at December 31, 2012, the carrying amount of the bonds was approximately $107.8 million.  The bonds are listed on the Oslo Stock 
Exchange.  The interest payments on the bonds are based on NIBOR plus a margin of 5.75%. Teekay Offshore entered into a cross currency 
rate swap to swap all interest and principal payments into U.S. Dollars, with the interest payments fixed at a rate of 7.49%, and the transfer of 
the principal amount fixed at $101.4 million upon maturity in exchange for NOK 600 million (see Note 15). 

In May 2012, Teekay LNG issued in the Norwegian bond market NOK 700 million of senior unsecured bonds that mature in May 2017.  As at 
December  31,  2012,  the  carrying  amount  of  the  bonds  was  $125.8 million.  The  bonds  are  listed  on  the  Oslo  Stock  Exchange.  The  interest 
payments on the bonds are based on NIBOR plus a margin of 5.25%. Teekay LNG entered into a cross currency rate swap to swap all interest 
and principal payments into U.S. Dollars, with the interest payments fixed at a rate of 6.88%, and the transfer of principal fixed at $125.0 million 
upon maturity in exchange for NOK 700 million (see Note 15). 

In October 2012, Teekay issued in the Norwegian bond market NOK 700 million of senior unsecured bonds that mature in October 2015.  As at 
December  31,  2012,  the  carrying  amount  of  the  bonds  was  $125.8 million.  The  Company  has  applied  to  list  the  bonds  on  the  Oslo  Stock 
Exchange. The interest payments on the bonds are based on NIBOR plus a margin of 4.75%. Teekay entered into a cross currency rate swap 
to swap all interest and principal payments into U.S. Dollars, with the interest payments fixed at a rate of 5.52%, and the transfer of principal 
fixed at $122.8 million upon maturity in exchange for NOK 700 million (see Note 15). 

As  of  December  31,  2012,  the  Company  had  18  U.S.  Dollar-denominated  term  loans  outstanding,  which  totaled  $2.4  billion  (December  31, 
2011– $2.1 billion). Certain of the term loans with a total outstanding principal balance of $328.0 million as at  December 31, 2012 (December 
31,  2011–  $372.7  million)  bear  interest  at  a  weighted-average  fixed  rate  of  5.3%  (December  31,  2011  –  5.3%).  Interest  payments  on  the 
remaining term loans are based on LIBOR plus a margin. At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the margins ranged between 0.3% 
and 4.25%, and between 0.3% and 4.00%, respectively.  At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the three-month LIBOR was 0.31% 
and  0.58%,  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  17  of the term loans have  balloon  or bullet repayments due at matur ity. The term 
loans  are  collateralized  by  first-priority  mortgages  on  36  (December  31,  2011  –  33)  of  the  Company‘s  vessels,  together  with  certain  other 
security.  In  addition,  at  December  31,  2012,  all  but  $107.0  million  (December  31,  2011  –  $119.4  million)  of  the  outstanding  term loans  were 
guaranteed by Teekay or its subsidiaries. 

The  Voyageur  Spirit  FPSO  unit  has  been  consolidated  by  the  Company  effective  November  30,  2011,  as  the  Voyageur  Spirit  has  been 
determined  to  be  a  VIE  and  the  Company  has  been  determined  to  be  the  primary  beneficiary  (see  Note  3a).  As  a  result,  the  Comp any  has 
included the Voyageur Spirit‘s existing U.S. Dollar-denominated term loan (VIE term loan) outstanding, which, as at December 31, 2012, totaled 
$230.4 million (December 31, 2011 – $220.5 million). Interest payments on the VIE term loan are based on LIBOR plus a margin of 2.95% and

(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share data) 

are paid quarterly. The VIE term loan is collateralized by a first-priority mortgage on the  Voyageur Spirit, together with certain other security. 
The Company has guaranteed the repayment of the existing credit facility. 

The Company has two Euro-denominated term loans outstanding, which, as at December 31, 2012, totaled 258.8 million Euros ($341.4 million) 
(December  31,  2011  –  269.2  million  Euros  ($348.9  million)).  The  Company  is  repaying  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, 2012, 
and  December  31,  2011,  the  margins  ranged  between  0.6%  and  2.25%  and  the  one-month  EURIBOR  at  December  31,  2012,  was  0.1% 
(December 31, 2011 – 1.02%). 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. 

Both Euro-denominated term loans and Norwegian Kroner-denominated bonds are revalued at the end of each period using the then-prevailing 
U.S.  Dollar  exchange  rate.  Due  primarily  to  the  revaluation  of  the  Company‘s  Norwegian  Kroner-denominated  bonds,  the  Company‘s  Euro-
denominated  term  loans,  capital  leases  and  restricted  cash,  and  the  change  in  the  valuation  of  the  Company‘s  cross  currency  swaps,  the 
Company recognized foreign exchange loss of $12.9 million (2011 – $12.7 million gain, 2010 – $32.0 million gain). 

The  Company  has  one  U.S.  Dollar-denominated  loan  outstanding  owing  to  a  joint  venture  partner,  which,  as  at  December  31,  2012,  totaled 
$13.3 million (2011 – $13.3 million), including accrued interest. Interest payments on the loan are based on a fixed interest rate of 4.84%. This 
loan is repayable on demand no earlier than February 27, 2027. 

The weighted-average effective interest rate on the Company‘s aggregate long-term debt as at December 31, 2012 was 2.9% (December 31, 
2011 – 2.6%). This rate does not include the effect of the Company‘s interest rate swap agreements (see Note 15). 

The  aggregate  annual  long-term  debt  principal  repayments  required  to  be  made  by  the  Company  subsequent  to  December  31,  2012,  are 
$797.4 million (2013), $1,208.2 million (2014), $442.6 million (2015), $390.2 million (2016), $1,004.2 million (2017) and $1.7 billion (thereafter). 

 Among  other  matters,  the  Company‘s  long-term  debt  agreements  generally  provide  for  maintenance  of  minimum  consolidated  financial 
covenants  and  five  loan  agreements  require  the  maintenance  of  vessel  market  value  to  loan  ratios.  As  at  December  31,  2012  these  ratios 
ranged  from 113.2  %  to  284.0%  compared  to  their  minimum required  ratios  of  105% and  115%.  The  vessel  values  used  in  these  ratios  are 
appraised  values  prepared  by  the  Company  based  on  second  hand  sale  and  purchase  market  data.  A  further  delay  in  the  recovery  of  the 
conventional tanker market and a weakening of the LNG/LPG carrier market could negatively affect the ratios. Certain loan agreements require 
that a minimum level of free cash be maintained and as at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, this amount was $100.0 million. Most 
of the loan agreements also require that the Company maintain an aggregate minimum level of free liquidity and undrawn revolving credit lines 
with at least six months to maturity, in amounts ranging from 5% to 7.5% of total debt. As at  December 31, 2012, this aggregate amount was 
$319.1 million (December 31, 2011 - $318.3 million).  

As at December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants required by its credit facilities and other long-term debt. 

9.  Operating and Direct Financing Leases 

Charters-in 

As  at  December  31,  2012,  minimum  commitments  to  be  incurred  by  the  Company  under  vessel  operating  leases  by  which  the  Company 
charters-in vessels were approximately $153.8 million, comprised of $84.4 million (2013), $35.0 million (2014), $15.8 million (2015), $9.1 million 
(2016), $9.1 million (2017) and $0.4 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 charterer with the  option to acquire the vessel or the  option to extend the charter. As  at December 31, 
2012,  minimum  scheduled  future  revenues  to  be  received  by  the  Company  on  time-charters  and  bareboat  charters  then  in  place  were 
approximately $9.8 billion, comprised of  $1.1 billion (2013), $1.2 billion (2014), $1.2 billion (2015), $1.0 billion (2016), $1.0 billion (2017) and 
$4.3 billion (thereafter). The minimum scheduled future revenues should not be construed to reflect total charter hire revenues for any of the 
years.  Minimum  scheduled  future  revenues  do  not  include  revenue  generated  from  new  contracts  entered  into  after  December  31,  2012, 
revenue  from  unexercised  option  periods  of  contracts  that  existed  on  December  31,  2012  or  variable  or  contingent  revenues.  In  addition, 
minimum  scheduled  future  revenues  presented  in  this  paragraph  have  been  reduced  by  estimated  off-hire  time  for  scheduled  periodic 
maintenance. The amounts may vary given future events such as unscheduled vessel maintenance.  

The carrying amount of the vessels accounted for as operating leases at  December 31, 2012, was $6.1 billion (2011 - $5.3 billion). The cost 
and accumulated depreciation of the vessels employed on operating leases as at December 31, 2012 were $7.8 billion (2011 - $7.2 billion) and 
$1.7 billion (2011 - $1.9 billion), respectively.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share data) 

The Company‘s subsidiary Teekay LNG owns a 99% interest in Teekay Tangguh, which owns a 70% interest in Teekay Tangguh Subsidiary, 
essentially giving Teekay LNG a 69% interest in the Teekay Tangguh Subsidiary. As at  December 31, 2012, the Teekay Tangguh Subsidiary 
was a party to operating leases whereby it 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 v essels. 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 an assumption proves to be incorrect, the 
lease  payments  are  increased  or  decreased  under  the  Sublease  to  maintain  the  agreed  after-tax  margin.  The  Teekay  Tangguh  Subsidiary‘s 
carrying amount of this tax indemnification as at  December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $9.4 million and $9.9 million, respectively,  
and  is  included  as  part  of  other  long-term  liabilities  in  the  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. 

As at December 31, 2012, the total estimated future minimum rental payments to be received and paid under the lease contracts are as follows:

(1)  The Head Leases are fixed-rate operating leases while the Subleases have a small variable-rate component. As at December 31, 2012, the Teekay Tangguh 
Subsidiary had received $149.0 million of aggregate Head Lease receipts and had paid $90.6 million of aggregate Sublease payments. The portion of the 
Head Lease receipts that haven‘t been recognized into earnings are deferred and amortized on a straight line basis over the lease terms and as at December 
31, 2012, $39.1 million of Head Lease receipts had been deferred and included in other long-term liabilities in the Company‘s consolidated balance sheets. 

(2)  The amount of payments under the Subleases are updated annually to reflect any changes in the lease payments due to changes in tax law. 

Net Investment in Direct Financing Leases  

The time-charters for two of the Company‘s LNG carriers, one FSO unit and equipment that reduce volatile organic compound emissions (or 
VOC equipment) are accounted for as direct financing leases. The following table lists the components of the net investments in direct financing 
leases:

RasGas  II  LNG  Carriers.  As  at  December  31,  2012,  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 Company 
Limited (II) (or RasGas II), a joint venture between Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil RasGas Inc., a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil 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. The Company‘s 
carrying  amount  of  the  tax  indemnification  guarantee  as  at  December  31,  2012  was  $15.5  million  and  is  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 on a voluntary basis 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, 2012, the commitments under these capital leases approximated $977.1 million, including imputed interest of $505.0 million, 
repayable as follows: 

Year 
2013

$857,128 

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  principa l  portion  of  the 
lease obligations. 

Suezmax  Tankers.  As  at  December  31,  2012,  the  Company  was  a  party  to  capital  leases  on  five  Suezmax  tankers.  Under  the  terms  of  the 
lease arrangements the Company is required to purchase these vessels for a fixed price, at the option of the lessor. During 2012, the lessor 
extended  the  term  of  one  of  the  five  leases  and  has  deferred  its  option  to  sell  all  five  vessels  to  the  Company  until  2014.  However,  the 
Company expects the charterer to exercise its option to terminate their charter contracts on two of the Suezmax tankers in 2013. If this occurs, 
the  capital  leases  for  these  two  vessels  will  concurrently  terminate  and  it  is  expected  that  the  vessels  will  be  sold  to  a  third  party.  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.

Under the terms of the capital leases for the RasGas II LNG Carriers, 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.  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,  2012  and  2011,  the  amount  of  restricted cash  on  deposit  for  the  three  RasGas  II  LNG  Carriers  was  $475.5  million  and 
$476.1 million, respectively. As at December 31, 2012 and 2011, the weighted-average interest rates earned on the deposits were 0.4% and 
0.3%, respectively. These rates do not reflect the effect of related interest rate swaps (see Note 15).

million as at December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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 and equipment and vessels held for sale – The estimated fair value of the Company‘s vessels and equipment and vessels held for 
sale  is  determined  based  on  discounted  cash  flows  or  appraised  values.   In  cases  where  an  active  second  hand  sale  and  purchase  market 
does not exist, the Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of an impaired vessel. In cases where an active 
second hand sale and purchase market exists, an appraised value is generally the amount the Company would expect to receive i f it were to 
sell the vessel. Such appraisal is normally completed by the Company.   

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 equity accounted investees and joint venture partners – The fair value of the Company‘s loans to joint ventures and 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 rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining m aturities 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  r ate 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  FPSO  embedded 
derivative, 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  following  table  includes  the  estimated  fair  value  and  carrying  value  of  those  assets  and  liabilities  that  are  measured  at   fair  value  on  a 
recurring and non-recurring basis, as well as the estimated fair value of the Company‘s financial instruments that are not accounted for at a fair 
value on a recurring basis.

In these consolidated financial statements, the Company's loans to and equity investments in equity accounted investees form the aggregate carrying value 
of  the  Company's  interests  in  entities  accounted  for  by  the  equity  method.  In  addition,  the  loans  to  joint  venture  partners  together  with  the  joint  venture 
partner's equity investment in joint venture form the net aggregate carrying value of the joint venture partner's interest in the joint venture. The fair value of 
the individual components of such aggregate interests is not determinable. 

12.   Capital Stock 

The authorized capital stock of Teekay at December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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 2012, the Company issued 1.0 million common 
shares  upon  the  exercise  of  stock  options  and  restricted  stock units  and  awards,  and  had  no  share  repurchases  of  common  shares.  During 
2011, 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  3.9  million  common  shares.    As  at  December  31,  2012,  Teekay  had  issued  70,203,388  shares  of  Common  Stock  (2011  – 
74,391,691) and no shares of Preferred Stock issued. As at December 31, 2012, Teekay had 69,704,188 shares of Common Stock outstanding 
(2011 – 68,732,341).  

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,  2012,  Teekay  had  repurchased 
approximately  5.2  million  shares  of  Common  Stock  for  $162.3  million  pursuant  to such  authorizations.  The  total  remaining  share  repurchase 
authorization at December 31, 2012, was $37.7 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  th e  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. 

Stock-based compensation 

As  at  December  31,  2012,  the  Company  had  reserved  pursuant  to  its  1995  Stock  Option  Plan  and  2003  Equity  Incentive  Plan  (collectively 
referred  to  as  the  Plans)  8,924,470  shares  of  Common  Stock  (2011  –  9,895,787)  for  issuance  upon  exercise  of  options  or  equity  awards 
granted  or  to  be  granted.  During  the  years  ended  December  31,  2012,  2011,  and  2010,  the  Company  granted  options  under  the  Plans  to 
acquire up to 432,971, 95,604, and 733,167 shares of Common Stock, respectively, to certain eligible officers, employees and  directors of the 
Company. The options under the Plans have ten-year terms and vest equally over three years from the grant date. All options outstanding as of 
December 31, 2012, expire between March 6, 2013 and March 6, 2022, ten years after the date of each respective grant. In March 2013, the 
Company adopted a 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and suspended the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. 

A  summary  of  the  Company‘s  stock  option  activity  and  related  information  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2012,  2011,  and  2010,  are  as

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during 2012 was $8.72 per option (2011 - $11.27, 2010 - $8.16). 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 54.8% in  2012, 53.6% in 2011 and 52.7% in 
2010; expected life of four years; dividend yield of 4.4% in 2012, 3.8% in 2011 and 3.3% in 2010; risk-free interest rate of 2.1% in 2012, 2.1% in 
2011,  and  2.6%  in  2010;  and  estimated  forfeiture  rate  of  12%  in  2012,  11.2%  in  2011  and  9.8%  in  2010.  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 2012, the Company granted 268,595 restricted stock units with a fair value of $7.4 million and 67,870 performance share units with a fair 
value  of  $2.5  million,  based  on  the  quoted  market  price  and  a  Monte  Carlo  valuation  model,  to  certain  of  the  Company‘s  employees  and 
directors.  During  2012,  334,256  restricted  stock  units  with  a  market  value  of  $9.0  million  vested  and  that  amount  was  paid  to  grantees  by 
issuing 200,024 shares of common stock, net of withholding taxes. During 2011, the Company granted 358,180 restricted stock units with a fair 
value of $12.5 million and 73,349 performance share units with a fair value of $3.7 million, based on the quoted market price and a Monte Carlo 
valuation model, to certain of the Company‘s employees and directors. During 2011, 214,863 restricted stock units with a mark et value of $4.9 
million vested and that amount was paid to grantees by issuing 131,682 shares of common stock, net of withholding taxes. 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  direct ors. 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, net of withholding taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded an expense of $7.7 million (2011 -

position  as  the  Company‘s  President  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  on  April  1,  2011.  The  additional  pension  benefit  was  in  recognition  of  Mr. 
Moller‘s service to the Company. In addition, the Company recognized a compensation expense of approximately $4.7 million which related to 
the portion of Mr. Moller‘s previously unvested outstanding stock-based compensation grants that vested on the date of his retirement. The total 
compensation  expense  related  to  Mr.  Moller‘s  retirement  of  $15.7  million  was  recorded  in  general  and  administrative  expense  i n  the

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, 2012, the Company was committed to the following foreign currency forward contracts:

The Company enters into cross currency swaps, and pursuant to these swaps the Company receives the principal amount in Norwegian Kroner 
(or  NOK)  on  the  maturity  date  of  the  swap,  in  exchange  for  payment  of  a  fixed  U.S.  Dollar  amount.  In  addition,  the  cross  currency  swaps 
exchange  a  receipt  of  floating  interest  in  Norwegian  Kroner  based  on  NIBOR  plus  a  margin  for  a  payment  of  US  Dollar  fixed  int erest  or  US 
Dollar floating interest based on LIBOR plus a margin. The purpose of the cross currency swaps is to economically hedge the foreign currency 
exposure  on  the  payment  of  interest  and  principal  at  maturity  of  the  Company‘s  Norwegian  Kroner  bonds  due  in  2013,  2015  and  2 017.  In

addition, the cross currency swaps due in 2015 and 2017 economically hedges the interest rate exposure on the Norwegian Kroner bonds due 
in  2015  and  2017.  The  Company  has  not  designated,  for  accounting  purposes,  these  cross  currency  swaps  as  cash  flow  hedges  of  its 
Norwegian Kroner bonds due in 2013, 2015 and 2017. As at December 31, 2012, the Company was committed to the following cross currency

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,  2012,  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 
swapped with fixed-rate obligations or fixed-rate deposits: 

LIBOR-Based Debt:

Company‘s related interest rate effectively floats at LIBOR reduced by 2.38%. 

(5)  Principal amount reduces monthly to 70.1 million Euros ($92.5 million) by the maturity dates of the swap agreements. 

(6)  Principal amount is the U.S. Dollar equivalent of 258.8 million Euros.

As at December 31, 2012, the Company‘s accumulated other comprehensive loss included $0.3 million of unrealized gains on foreign currency 
forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges. As at December 31, 2012, the Company estimated, based on then current foreign exchange 
rates,  that  it  would  reclassify  approximately  $0.3  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 loss. There were no de-designations in 2012 or 2011.  

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 

As at December 31, 2012, the Company was committed to the construction of four shuttle tankers, two LNG carriers and one FPSO unit, not 
including the Voyageur Spirit, for a total cost of approximately $1.8 billion, excluding capitalized interest and other miscellaneous construction 
costs. The four shuttle tankers are scheduled for delivery in mid-to-late 2013, the two LNG carriers are scheduled for delivery in 2016, and the 
FPSO unit is scheduled to be delivered in the first half of 2014. As at December 31, 2012, payments made towards these commitments totaled 
$686.0  million  (excluding  $26.0  million  of  capitalized  interest  and  other  miscellaneous  construction  costs).    As  at  December  31,  2012,  the 
remaining  payments required to be made under these newbuilding contracts were $379.7 million (2013), $361.8 million (2014), $57.9 million 
(2015), and $270.2 million (2016).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share data) 

b)   Joint Ventures 

In September 2010, Teekay Tankers entered into a joint venture arrangement (the Joint Venture) with Wah Kwong Maritime Transport Holdings 
Limited (or Wah Kwong) to have a Very Large Crude Carrier (or VLCC) 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  Teekay  Tankers‘  50%  portion  is  $49  million),  excluding  capitalized  interest  and  other 
miscellaneous  construction  costs.  The  vessel  is  scheduled  to  be  delivered  in  June,  2013.  An  unrelated  party  has  agreed  to  time-charter  the 
vessel following its delivery for a term of five years at a fixed daily rate and an additional amount if the daily rate of any sub-charter earned by 
the unrelated party exceeds a certain threshold. 

As at December 31, 2012, the remaining payments required to be made under this newbuilding contract, including Wah Kwong‘s 50% share, 
were $53.9 million in 2013.  As at December 31, 2012, the Joint Venture had signed an agreement with a financial institution for a loan of $68.6 
million, of which $19.6 million has been drawn. The loan is secured by a first-priority statutory mortgage on the VLCC and guaranteed by both 
Teekay Tankers and Wah Kwong. As a result, Teekay Tankers‗s exposure to this loan is limited to the 50% guarantee to the loan. This loan is 
repayable in 32 quarterly installments of $1.4 million each commencing three months after the initial post-delivery drawdown date and a balloon 
payment of $22.6 million at the maturity of the loan. In addition, 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 at December 31, 2012, the Company had advanced $9.8 million 
to the joint venture in the form of a non-interest bearing and unsecured loan and invested an additional $3.2 million into the joint venture. 

c)  Purchase Obligation  

As  at  December  31,  2012,  the  Company  was  committed  to  fund  the  remaining  upgrade  costs  of  the  Voyageur  Spirit  in  connection  with  the 
Sevan acquisition, for a total cost estimated to be between $140 million and $150 million. As at December 31, 2012, payments  made towards 
these remaining upgrade costs totaled $129.6 million and the remaining payments required to be made are estimated to be between $10 million 
and  $20  million  in  2013.  In  addition  to  the  upgrade  costs,  in  November  2012  the  Company  prepaid  $92.4  million  of  the  Voyageur  Spirit 
purchase price. Teekay entered into an agreement to sell the Voyageur Spirit to Teekay Offshore for $540 million. Conditions to the closing of 
this  transaction  include,  among  others,  Teekay  Offshore  obtaining  financing  and  that  Teekay  has  acquired  the  Voyageur  Spirit  and  related 
assets pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement with Sevan.    

In September 2012, the Voyageur Spirit completed its upgrade at the Nymo shipyard in Norway and arrived at the Huntington Field in the U.K. 
sector  of  the  North  Sea  in  October  2012.    First  oil  occurred  in  April  2013  after  the  remaining  upgrades  were  completed,  at  whic h  time  the 
Voyageur Spirit commenced its 5-year charter with E.ON Ruhrgas UK E&P Limited (or E.ON) and the FPSO unit is expected to be acquired by 
Teekay Offshore in the second quarter of 2013.   

In  November  2012,  Teekay  Offshore  agreed  to  acquire  a  2010-built  HiLoad  Dynamic  Positioning  (DP)  unit  from  Remora  AS  (or  Remora),  a 
Norway-based offshore marine technology company, for a total purchase price of approximately $55 million including modification costs. The 
HiLoad DP unit is a self-propelled dynamic positioning system that attaches to and keeps conventional tankers in position when loading from 
offshore installations.  The transaction is subject to finalizing a ten-year time-charter contract with Petroleo Brasileiro SA (or Petrobras) in Brazil.  
The  acquisition  of  the  HiLoad  DP  unit  is  expected  to  be  completed  in  the  second  quarter  of  2013  and  the  unit  is  expected  to  commence 
operating  at  its  full  time-charter  rate  in  early  2014  once  modifications,  delivery  of  the  DP  unit  to  Brazil,  and  operational  testing  have  been 
completed.  As part of the transaction, Teekay has also agreed to invest approximately $4.4 million to acquire a 49.9% ownership interest in a 
recapitalized Remora.  In addition, Teekay Offshore will enter into an agreement with Remora which will provide Teekay Offshore with the right 
of first refusal to acquire future HiLoad projects developed by Remora. 

d)  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. 

On November 13, 2006, Teekay Offshore‘s shuttle tanker the  Navion Hispania collided with the Njord Bravo, an FSO unit, while preparing to 
load an oil cargo from the Njord Bravo. The Njord Bravo services the Njord field, which is operated by Statoil Petroleum AS (or  Statoil) and is 
located  off  the  Norwegian  coast.  At  the  time  of  the  incident,  Statoil  was  chartering  the  Navion  Hispania  from  the  Company.  The  Navion 
Hispania and the Njord Bravo both incurred damages as a result of the collision. In November 2007, Navion Offshore Loading AS (or NOL), the 
Company‘s subsidiary, and two other subsidiaries of the Company, were named as co-defendants in a legal action filed by Norwegian Hull Club 
(the hull and machinery insurers of the Njord Bravo) and various licensees in the Njord field. The Plaintiffs sought damages for vessel repairs, 
expenses for a replacement vessel and other amounts related to production stoppage on the field, totaling NOK 213,000,000 (approximately 
$38.3 million). The matter was  heard  before the Stavanger District Court in December 2011. The Stavanger District Court found that NOL is 
liable for damages except for damages related to certain indirect or consequential losses. The court also found that Statoil  ASA is liable to NOL 
for  the  same  amount  of  damages.  The  parties  have  appealed  the  decision.  As  a  result  of  the  judgment,  as  at  December  31,  2011  and 
December  31,  2012,  the  Company  recognized  a  liability  of  NOK  76,000,000  (approximately  $13.9  million,  which  is  a  reduced  amount  in 
accordance  with  the  court‘s  decision  to  exclude  a  large  part  of  the  indirect  or  consequential  losses)  to  the  Plaintiffs  and  a  corresponding 
receivable from Statoil recorded in other liabilities and other assets, respectively. The Company believes the likelihood of  any losses relating to 
the claim is remote. The Company  believes that the charter contract relating to the  Navion Hispania  requires that Statoil be responsible and 
indemnify  the  Company  for  all  losses  relating  to  the  damage  to  the  Njord  Bravo.  The  Company  also  maintains  protection  and  indemnity 
insurance for damages to the Navion Hispania and insurance for collision-related costs and claims. The Company believes that these insurance 
policies will cover the costs related to this incident, including any costs not indemnified by Statoil, subject to standard d eductibles. Teekay has 
agreed to indemnify Teekay Offshore for any losses it may incur in connection with this incident.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share data) 

Teekay  Nakilat  Corporation  (or  Teekay  Nakilat),  a  subsidiary  of  Teekay  LNG,  is  the  lessee  under  30-year  capital  lease  arrangements  with a 
third party for the RasGas II LNG Carriers (or RasGas II Leases). The UK taxing authority (or HMRC) has been urging our lessor, as well as 
other lessors under capital lease arrangements that have tax benefits similar to the ones provided by the RasGas II Leases, to terminate such 
finance lease arrangements, and has in other circumstances challenged the use of similar structures. As a result, the lessor has requested that 
Teekay Nakilat enter into negotiations to terminate the RasGas II Leases. Teekay Nakilat has declined this request as it does not believe that 
HRMC  would  be  able  to  successfully  challenge  the  availability  of  the  tax  benefits  of  these  leases  to  the  lessor.  This  assessment  is  partially 
based on a January 2012 court decision regarding a similar financial lease of an LNG carrier that ruled in favor of the taxpayer. However, the 
HMRC is appealing that decision and the appeal is expected to be heard in May 2013. If the HMRC were able to successfully challenge the 
RasGas  II  Leases,  Teekay  Nakilat  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. Teekay LNG estimates its 70% share of the potential exposure to be approximately 
$29 million, exclusive of potential financing and interest rate swap termination costs. The Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture has received notification 
from  the  lessor  of  the  three  vessels  of  a  credit  rating  downgrade  to  the  bank  that  was  providing  the  letter  of  credit  (or  LC  Bank)  to  Teekay 
Nakilat Joint Venture‘s tax lease. As a result, the lessor has claimed an increase to the lease rentals over the remaining term of the RasGas II 
Leases and instructed that an estimated $12 million additional amount of cash be placed on deposit by the Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture. The 
Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture has engaged external legal counsel to validate these claims. Teekay LNG's 70% share of the present value of the 
lease rental increase claim is approximately $10 million, however the final amount is dependent on external legal counsel‘s review. The Teekay 
Nakilat Joint Venture is also looking at other alternatives to mitigate the impact of the downgrade to the LC Bank‘s credit rating.  

On December 7, 2011, the Petrojarl Banff FPSO unit (or Banff), which operates on the Banff field in the U.K. sector of the North Sea, suffered a 
severe storm event and sustained damage to its moorings, turret and subsea equipment, which necessitated the shutdown of production on the 
unit. Due to the damage, the Company  declared force  majeure under the customer contract on December 8,  2011  and the  Banff FPSO unit 
commenced  a  period  of  off-hire  which  is  currently  expected  to  continue  until  the  fourth  quarter  of  2013  while  repairs  are  assessed  and 
completed.  The Company does not have off-hire insurance covering the Banff FPSO. After the repairs and upgrades are completed, the Banff 
FPSO unit is expected to resume production on the Banff field, where it is expected to remain under contract until the end of 2018. 

The Company expects that repair costs to the Banff FPSO unit and equipment and costs associated with the emergency response to prevent 
loss  or  further  damage  during  the  December  7,  2011  storm  event  will  be  primarily  reimbursed  through  our  insurance  coverage  su bject  to  a 
$750,000  deductible  and  the  other  terms  and  conditions  of  the  applicable  policies.  In  addition,  the  Company  will  also  incur  certain  capital 
upgrade  costs  for  the  Banff  FPSO  unit  and  the  Apollo  Spirit  related  to  upgrades  to  the  mooring  system  required  by  the  relevant  regulatory 
authorities due in part to new metocean and environmental data and other safety considerations. The Apollo Spirit was operating on the Banff 
field as a storage tanker and is expected to return to the Banff field at the same time as the  Banff FPSO. The total of these capital upgrade 
costs is expected to amount to approximately $90 million. The recovery of the capital upgrade costs from the charterer is subject to commercial 
negotiations or, failing agreement, the responsibility for these costs will be determined by an expedited arbitration procedure already agreed to 
by the parties. Any capital upgrade costs not recovered from the charterer will be capitalized to the vessel cost.  

e)   Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest 

During 2010, an unrelated party contributed a shuttle tanker with a value of $35.0 million to a subsidiary of Teekay Offshore for a 33% equity 
interest in the subsidiary. 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, 2012.  

f)   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  t hat  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.

b)  Cash interest paid, including realized interest rate swap settlements, during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, totaled 
$274.2 million, $279.1 million and $271.3 million, respectively. In addition, during the years ended  December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010,  
cash interest paid relating to interest rate swap amendments and terminations totaled $nil, $149.7 million and $nil, respectively.  

c)  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(e) 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 

a)  Vessel Sales  

During 2012, the Company sold two shuttle tankers and three conventional tankers, resulting in a loss on sale of $1.1 million (shuttle tanker 
segment) and $5.9 million (conventional tanker segment). In addition,  the Company sold its joint venture interest in the Ikdam FPSO unit and 
realized a gain of $10.8 million, which has been recorded in equity income (loss) on the Company‘s consolidated statements of loss for the year 
ended  December  31,  2012.  During  2011,  the  Company  sold  one  FSO  unit  and  one  conventional  tanker,  resulting  in  a  loss  on  sale  of  $0.2 
million (shuttle tanker and FSO segment). During 2010, the Company sold one LPG carrier and four conventional tankers, resulting in a gain on 
sale of $4.3 million (liquefied gas segment) and a loss on sale of $2.3 million (conventional tanker segment). All of the vessels disposed of were 
older vessels that the Company disposed of in the ordinary course of business.  

b) Write-downs of Vessels, Equipment and Equity Accounted Investments 

In  2012,  19  conventional  tankers  were  written  down  to  their  estimated  fair  value  using  an  appraised  value,  resulting  in  a  tot al  write  down  of 
$405.3  million  within  the  conventional  tanker  segment.  The  appraised  values  were  determined  based  on  second-hand  sale  and  purchase 
market  data.    This  write  down  includes  ten  Suezmax  tankers  ($335.0  million),  seven  Aframax  tankers  ($66.0  million),  and  two  other 
conventional tankers ($4.3 million). When comparing seven of the ten Suezmax tankers to  each other and when comparing four of the seven 
Aframax tankers to each other, the vessels have a similar age, had a similar carrying value before the impairment and a similar estimated fair 
value,  and  are  all  being  employed  in  the  spot  market  or  on  short  term time-charters.  The  total  write  down  of  $405.3  million  includes  $350.2 
million from these eleven vessels.  The primary factors that caused the write downs were a negative change in the outlook for the crude tanker 
market, a delay in the expected timing of a recovery of the crude tanker market as well as the expected discrimination impact from more fuel 
efficient vessels being constructed. One of the seven Aframax tankers was held for sale at December 31, 2012 and was subsequently sold in 
January 2013.   

In  2012,  four  older  shuttle  tankers  and  one  FSO  unit  were  written  down  to  their  estimated  fair  value,  resulting  in  a  total  wr ite down  of  $28.8 
million  within  the  shuttle  tanker  and  FSO  segment.  The  write  downs  were  the  result  of  the  Company  entering  into  agreements  in  the  fourth 
quarter of  2012 to sell two shuttle tankers and   a change in the operating plans for the remaining  vessels. Excluding  one shuttle tanker, the 
estimated fair value for all five vessels was determined using an appraised value, based on second hand sale and purchase market data. The 
estimated  fair  value  for  the  remaining  vessel  was  determined  using  a  discounted  cash  flow  approach.  Such  a  technique  used  est imates  of 
future  operating  life  (2.2  years  based  on  the  estimated  remaining  trading  life  of  this  vessel),  future  revenues  ($37.2  million  based  on  field 
production  forecasts  and  the  availability  of  contracts  of  affreightment  suitable  for  the  vessel),  operating  and  dry-dock  expenditures  ($20.5 
million),  a  residual  value  ($6.5  million  based  on  the  vessel‘s  light  weight  tonnage  and  the  price  of  steel),  and  a  discount  rate  (7.9%)  that 
approximates the weighted average cost of capital of a market participant. 

In 2011, eight older conventional tankers were written down to their estimated fair value using an appraised value, resulting in a total write down 
of $112.1 million within the conventional tanker segment. The write downs were the result of a change in the operating plans for certain vessels, 
escalating  dry  dock  costs,  a  general  decline  in  the  future  outlook  for  shipping  and  the  global  economy  combined  with  delayed  optimism  on 
when economic recovery may occur.  

In 2011, three older shuttle tankers and one FSO unit were written down to their estimated fair value using an appraised value, resulting in a 
total  write  down  of  $43.2  million  within  the  shuttle  tanker  and  FSO  segment.  The  write  downs  were  the  result  of  the  age  of  the  vessels,  the 
requirements of operating in the North Sea and Brazil, a change in the operating plans for certain vessels, and escalating dry dock costs.  

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2011,  the  Company  incurred  a  $19.4  million  write-down  of  its  investment  in  PTH,  a  50% joint  venture 
which provides ship-to-ship lightering services. The write-down was recorded in equity income (loss) on the Company‘s consolidated statement 
of loss for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company‘s investment in PTH is part of the Company‘s conventional tanker segment and 
was  written  down  to  its  estimated  fair  value,  which  is  based  upon  the  estimated  liquidation  values  of  the  underlying  net  assets  of  PTH.  The 
recognition of this write-down was driven by the continuing weak tanker market. 

In  2010,  certain  shuttle  tanker  equipment  and  one  1992-built  shuttle  tanker  was  written  down  to  its  estimated  fair  value  using  an  appraised 
value, resulting in a total write down of $19.5 million within the shuttle tanker and FSO segment. The write downs were the result of a change in 
expectation for utilization of the shuttle tanker equipment on new projects and in conjunction with the termination of the charter contract for the 
vessel. In addition, certain intangible assets of the conventional tanker segment were written down by $31.7. See Note 6.  

See Note 2 – Segment Reporting for the total write down of vessels by segment for 2012, 2011 and 2010.

20.  Restructuring Charges  

During 2012, the Company recognized $7.6 million of restructuring charges. The restructuring charges primarily relate to reorganization of the 
Company‘s marine operations to create better alignment with its conventional tanker business unit and its three publicly-listed subsidiaries and 
to create a lower-cost organization going forward. The Company expects to incur approximately $12 million of restructuring charges associated 
with this reorganization. A majority of the reorganization has been completed in 2012; however, certain portions will not be  completed until the 
first  half  of  2013.  As  at  December  31,  2012,  $3.4  million  of  restructuring  liabilities  were  recorded  in  accrued  liabilities  on  the  consolidated 
balance sheet. 

During 2011, the Company incurred $5.5 million of restructuring costs. The restructuring costs were primarily related to  the sale of an FSO unit, 
the Karratha Spirit, and the termination of the time-charter for the shuttle tanker Basker Spirit. The Company committed to plans for termination 
of the employment of certain seafarers of the two vessels. At December 31, 2011 and 2012, no restructuring liability was recorded in accrued 
liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. 

During  2010,  the  Company  incurred  $16.4  million  of  restructuring  costs.  The  restructuring  costs  were  primarily  related  to  the  reflagging  of

21. Income Taxes  

Teekay and a majority of its subsidiaries are not subject to income tax in the jurisdictions in which they are incorporated because they do not 
conduct  business  or  operate  in  those  jurisdictions.  However,  among  others,  the  Company‘s  Australian  ship-owing  subsidiaries  and  its 
Norwegian subsidiaries are subject to income taxes. 

The significant components of the Company‘s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: 

Deferred tax assets: 

   Vessels and equipment  
   Tax losses carried forward(1) 
   Other 

Total deferred tax assets  
Deferred tax liabilities:

The majority of the net decrease for positions for the year ended December 31, 2012 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  2008 through 2012 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  a  reduction  of  $0.8  million  in  2012,  net  of 
statute barred liabilities, and $1.8 million in 2011 and $1.2 million in 2010.

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 ar e 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  matches  all  or  a  portion  of  the  employees‘  contributions,  depending  on  how  much  each  employee  contributes. 
During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, the amount of cost recognized for the Company's defined contribution pension 
plans was $14.5 million, $18.3 million and $17.1million, respectively. 

b)    Defined Benefit Pension Plans 

The Company has a number of defined benefit pension plans (or the Benefit Plans) which primarily cover its employees in Norway and certain 
employees in Australia. As at December 31, 2012, approximately 71% of the defined benefit pension assets were held by the Norwegian plans 
and approximately 28% are held by the Australian 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 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 2010 consolidated statement of income 
(loss).  

The following table provides information about changes in the benefit obligation and the fair value of the Benefit Plans assets, a statement of 
the funded status, and amounts recognized on the Company‘s balance sheets:

(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 are expected to 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  among  asset  classes,  m arkets  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 NAVs 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 managers.  

The weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows: 

Discount rates

(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.   Equity Accounted Investments 

The Company has a 33% ownership interest in four newbuilding 160,400-cubic meter LNG carriers (or the Angola LNG Carriers). The Angola 
LNG  Carriers  are  chartered  at  fixed  rates  to  the  Angola  LNG  Project  (see  Note  16b).  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.

TEEKAY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share data) 

In February 2012, the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture acquired a 100% interest in the six LNG Carriers from Denmark-based A.P. Moller-
Maersk  A/S  for  approximately  $1.3  billion.  Teekay  LNG  and  Marubeni  Corporation  (or  Marubeni)  have  52%  and  48%  economic  interests, 
respectively,  but  share  control  of  Teekay  LNG-Marubeni  Joint  Venture.  Since  control  of  the  Teekay  LNG-Marubeni  Joint  Venture  is  shared 
jointly  between  Marubeni  and  Teekay  LNG,  Teekay  LNG  accounts  for  its  investment  in  the  Teekay  LNG-Marubeni  Joint  Venture  using  the 
equity method (see note 3b). 

In November 2011, Teekay acquired a 40% interest in a recapitalized Sevan for approximately $25 million (see Note 3a). Sevan owns (i) two 
partially-completed hulls (#4 and #5) available for upgrade to FPSOs or other offshore projects; (ii) a licensing agreement with ENI SpA; (iii) an 
engineering  and  offshore  project  development  business;  and  (iv)  intellectual  property  rights,  including  offshore  unit  design  pat ents.  As  at 
November  30,  2011,  the  fair  value  of  the  Company‘s  interest  in  Sevan  was  determined  to  be  $37.1  million.  The  difference  between  the  fair 
value  of  the  Company‘s  40%  interest  in  Sevan  and  the  price  paid  has  been  recognized  as  a  bargain  purchase  gain  in  the  Company‘s 
consolidated statements of loss. As of December 31, 2012, the aggregate value of the Company‘s 43% interest (40% interest  - December 31, 
2011) in Sevan, based on the quoted market price of Sevan‘s common stock on the Oslo Stock Exchange was $83.1 million ($29.4  million – 
December 31, 2011). 

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  equity  purchase  price  of  approximately  $72.5  million  (net  of  assumed  debt).  Teekay  LNG  financed  $37.3  million  of  the 
purchase price by issuing to Exmar NV approximately 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 its 50% share of the $206 milli on 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.

(1) The results included for the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture are from the date of acquisition of the MALT LNG Carriers which were acquired on February 

28, 2012. 

(2)  The  results  included  for  the  Angola  Joint  Venture  are  from  the  time  the  vessels  were  delivered  in  August,  September,  October  2011  and  January  2012, 

respectively. 

(3)  The  Teekay  LNG-Marubeni  Joint  Venture  expects  to  refinance  its  existing  debt  facility  maturing  in  August  2013  with  two  long-term  project  facilities  and  a 
medium-term facility, secured by all of the vessels under the joint venture as well as through several guarantees from the joint venture partners based on their 
relative share holdings. 

(4) The results included for the Excalibur and Excelsior Joint Ventures are from November 4, 2010. 

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded equity income (loss) of $79.2 million (2011 – $(35.3) million and 2010 - $(11.3) 
million).  The  income  or  loss  was  primarily  comprised  of  the  Company‘s  share  of  net  (loss)  income  from  the  Teekay  LNG-Marubeni  Joint 
Venture, Angola LNG Project, the RasGas 3 Joint Venture, Sevan, and from the Exmar Joint Venture. For the year ended December 31, 2012, 
$5.3 million of the equity gain related to the Company‘s share of unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate swaps associated with  these projects 
(2011 – $(35.2) million and 2010 - $(26.3) million). 

24.  Change in Accounting Estimate 

Effective  January  1,  2012,  the  Company  reduced  the  estimated  useful  life  of  six  of  its  older  shuttle  tankers  from 25  years  to  20  years.  As  a 
result of the change in useful life, the Company increased its estimate of the residual value of these vessels to reflect the more recent average 
scrap prices. As a result, depreciation and amortization expense has increased by $14.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, and net 
income attributable to the stockholders of Teekay has decreased by $4.4 million, or $0.06 per share for the year ended December 31, 2012. 

25.  Subsequent Events 

a) 

b) 

c) 

d) 

In January 2013, Teekay Offshore issued in the Norwegian bond market NOK 1,300 million in senior unsecured bonds. The bonds were 
issued in two tranches maturing in January 2016 (NOK 500 million) and January 2018 (NOK 800 million). The aggregate principal amount 
of the bonds is equivalent to approximately $233 million and all interest and principal payments under each of the two tranches have been 
swapped  into  U.S.  dollars  at  fixed  rates  of  4.80%  on  the  tranche  maturing  in  2016  and  5.93%  on  the  tranche  maturing  in  2018.  In 
connection with this, Teekay Offshore repurchased NOK 388.5 million of the existing NOK 600 million bond issue maturing in November 
2013. The net proceeds of approximately $167 million have been used to reduce portion of amounts outstanding under Teekay Offshore‘s 
revolving credit facilities and for general partnership purposes. Teekay Offshore will apply to list the bonds on the Oslo Stock Exchange. 

In  February  2013,  Teekay  LNG  completed  its  joint  venture  agreement  with  Belgium-based  Exmar  NV  to  own  and  charter-in  liquefied 
petroleum gas (LPG) carriers with a primary focus on the mid-size gas carrier segment. The joint venture entity, called Exmar LPG BVBA, 
took economic effect as of November 1, 2012 and includes 16 owned LPG carriers (including four newbuildings scheduled for delivery in 
2014) and five chartered-in LPG carriers. In addition, the joint venture recently ordered another four medium-size gas carrier newbuildings 
with deliveries scheduled between 2015 and 2016, with options to order up to four additional vessels, which brings the total fleet size of 
Exmar LPG BVBA to 25 vessels, excluding options. For its 50% ownership interest in the  joint venture, including newbuilding payments 
made prior to the November 1, 2012, Teekay LNG invested approximately $134 million of equity and assumed approximately $108 million 
of its pro rata share of existing debt and lease obligations as of the economic effective date, secured by certain vessels in the Exmar LPG 
BVBA fleet. Exmar LPG BVBA is in the process of refinancing the joint venture fleet and four of the newbuildings with a new $355 million 
debt facility.  

In  April  2013,  Teekay  Tankers  entered  into  agreement  with  STX  Offshore  &  Shipbuilding  Co.,  Ltd  (or  STX)  of  South  Korea  for  the 
construction of four, fuel-efficient 113,000 dead-weight tonne Long Range 2 (or LR2) product tanker newbuildings for a fully-built-up cost of 
approximately  $47  million  each.    The  agreement  with  STX  also  includes  fixed-price  options  for  the  construction  up  to  12  additional  LR2 
newbuildings,  which  options  expire  between  October  2013  and  October  2014.    Upon  delivery,  it  is  expected  that  the  four  vessels  will 
operate in the Company‘s Taurus Tankers LR2 Pool.  Teekay Tankers intends to finance the installment payments with its existing liquidity 
and to secure long-term debt financing for the four vessels prior to their scheduled deliveries in late-2015 and early-2016. 

In  April  2013,  Teekay  Offshore  issued  2.06  million  common  units  in  a  private  placement  to  an  institutional  investor  for  proceeds  of 
approximately $60.0 million, excluding the General Partner‘s 2% proportionate capital contribution of $1.2 million. Upon completion of the 
private placement, Teekay Offshore had 83.8 million common units outstanding. Teekay Offshore will use the proceeds from the issuance 
of  common  units  to  partially  finance  the  shipyard  instalments  for  the  four  Suezmax  newbuilding  shuttle  tankers  that  are  scheduled  for 
deliveries  throughout  2013,  and  for  general  corporate  purposes.  As  a  result  of  this  private  placement,  Teekay‘s  ownership  of  Teekay 
Offshore was reduced to 28.7% (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.

e) 

In April 2013, Teekay Offshore issued 6.0 million preferred units in a public offering for net proceeds of $144.9 million, representing a new 
class of limited partner interests. Teekay Offshore expects to use the net proceeds from the public offering for general corporate purposes, 
including  the  funding  of  newbuilding  installments,  capital  conversion  projects  and  the  acquisitions  of  vessels  that  Teekay  may  offer  to 
Teekay Offshore. Pending the application of funds for these purposes, Teekay Offshore expects to repay a portion of its outstanding debt 
under two of its revolving credit facilities.
