This annual report of Teekay Corporation on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019 (or Annual Report) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this report.

Unless otherwise indicated, references in this Annual Report to “Teekay,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” and similar terms refer to Teekay Corporation and its subsidiaries.

On September 25, 2017, Teekay, Altera and Brookfield Business Partners L.P., together with its institutional partners (collectively, Brookfield), completed a strategic partnership (or the 2017 Brookfield Transaction), which resulted in the deconsolidation of Altera as of that date. For additional information regarding the deconsolidation of Altera, please read "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 4 – Deconsolidation and Sale of Altera".
(3)
Total debt represents short-term debt, the current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, and the current and long-term portion of obligations related to finance leases.
(4)
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before foreign exchange (loss) gain, other (loss) income, write-down and loss on sale of vessels, amortization of in-process revenue contracts, direct finance and sales-type lease payments received in excess of revenue recognized, unrealized gains (loss) on derivative instruments, realized losses on stock purchase warrants and interest rate swaps, realized losses on interest rate swap amendments and terminations, loss on deconsolidation of Altera, write-downs related to equity-accounted investments, and our share of the above items in non-consolidated joint ventures which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used as supplemental financial performance measures by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors. 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 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 order to assess whether to continue to hold our equity, or debt securities, as applicable.
Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other measure of financial performance 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 (loss) income.

(a)
Foreign currency exchange loss (gain) includes the unrealized loss of $13.2 million in 2019 (2018gain of $21.2 million, 2017gain of $82.7 million, 2016 – gain of $75.0 million, and 2015 – loss of $89.2 million) on cross currency swaps.
(b)
In June 2016, as part of its financing initiatives, Altera canceled the construction contracts for its two UMS newbuildings. As a result, Altera accrued for potential damages resulting from the cancellations and reversed contingent liabilities previously recorded that were relating to the delivery of the UMS newbuildings. This net loss provision of $23.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 was reported in other loss in our consolidated statement of income. The newbuilding contracts were held in Altera's separate subsidiaries and obligations of these subsidiaries were non-recourse to Altera.
(c)
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a write-down of a cost-accounted investment of $19.0 million. This investment was subsequently sold in 2017, resulting in a gain on sale of $1.3 million. During 2017, the Company recognized an additional tax indemnification guarantee liability of $50 million related to the Teekay Nakilat finance leases.

Risk Factors
Some of the following risks relate principally to the industry in which we operate and to our business in general. Other risks relate principally to the securities market and to ownership of our common stock. The occurrence of any of the events described in this section could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and ability to pay interest or principal or dividends on, and the trading price of our public debt and common stock.
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 natural gas and decreased demand for our vessels and services, which would reduce vessel earnings.
A decline in natural gas or oil prices may adversely affect our growth prospects and results of operations.
Natural gas prices are volatile and have recently reached their lowest levels since 2009 in certain geographic areas. Low energy prices may negatively affect both the competitiveness of natural gas as a fuel for power generation and the market price of natural gas, to the extent that natural gas prices are benchmarked to the price of crude oil. These declines in energy prices have adversely affected energy and master limited partnership capital markets and available sources of financing for our capital expenditures and debt repayment obligations. A sustained low energy price environment may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to make cash distributions, as a result of a number of factors, some of which may be beyond our control, including:


fluctuations in worldwide and regional supply of, demand for and price of natural gas;
a reduction in or termination of production of oil at certain fields we service, which may reduce our revenues under production-based components of our FPSO unit contracts or life-of-field contracts;
reductions in revenues from certain FPSO unit contracts that are affected by changes to oil prices;

10


lower demand for vessels of the types we own and operate, which may reduce available charter rates and revenue to us upon redeployment of our vessels, following expiration or termination of existing contracts or upon the initial chartering of vessels, or which may result in extended periods of our vessels being idle between contracts;
customers potentially seeking to renegotiate or terminate existing vessel contracts, failing to extend or renew contracts upon expiration, or seeking to negotiate cancelable contracts;
the inability or refusal of customers to make charter payments to us due to financial constraints or otherwise; or
declines in vessel values, which may result in losses to us upon vessel sales or impairment charges against our earnings.

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is dynamic and expanding. The continuation of this outbreak likely will have, and the emergence of other epidemic or pandemic crises could have, material adverse effects on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

The novel coronavirus pandemic is dynamic and expanding, and its ultimate scope, duration and effects are uncertain. We expect that this pandemic, and any future epidemic or pandemic crises, could result in direct and indirect adverse effects on our industry and customers, which in turn may impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. Effects of the current pandemic include, or may include, among others:

deterioration of worldwide, regional or national economic conditions and activity, which could further reduce or prolong the recent significant declines in energy prices, or adversely affect global demand for LNG, LPG, crude oil and petroleum products, demand for our services, and time charter and spot rates;
disruptions to our operations as a result of the potential health impact on our employees and crew, and on the workforces of our customers and business partners;
disruptions to our business from, or additional costs related to, new regulations, directives or practices implemented in response to the pandemic, such as travel restrictions (including for any of our onshore personnel or any of our crew members to timely embark or disembark from our vessels), increased inspection regimes, hygiene measures (such as quarantining and physical distancing) or increased implementation of remote working arrangements;
potential delays in the loading and discharging of cargo on or from our vessels, and any related off hire due to quarantine, worker health, or regulations, which in turn could disrupt our operations and result in a reduction of revenue;
potential shortages or a lack of access to required spare parts for our vessels, or potential delays in any repairs to, scheduled or unscheduled maintenance or modifications, or drydocking of, our vessels, as a result of a lack of berths available by shipyards from a shortage in labor or due to other business disruptions;
potential delays in vessel inspections and related certifications by class societies, customers or government agencies;
potential reduced cash flows and financial condition, including potential liquidity constraints;
reduced access to capital, including the ability to refinance any existing obligations, as a result of any credit tightening generally or due to continued declines in global financial markets, including to the prices of publicly-traded securities of us, our peers and of listed companies generally;
a reduced ability to opportunistically sell any of our vessels on the second-hand market, either as a result of a lack of buyers or a general decline in the value of second-hand vessels;
a decline in the market value of our vessels, which may cause us to (a) incur impairment charges or (b) breach certain covenants under our financing agreements (including our secured facility agreements and financial leases) relating to vessel-to-loan covenants; and
potential deterioration in the financial condition and prospects of our customers, joint venture partners or business partners, or attempts by customers or third parties to invoke force majeure contractual clauses as a result of delays or other disruptions.
Although disruption and effects from the novel coronavirus pandemic may be temporary, given the dynamic nature of these circumstances and the worldwide nature of our business and operations, the duration of any business disruption and the related financial impact to us cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but could materially affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Adverse economic conditions, including disruptions in the global credit markets, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Economic downturns and financial crises in the global markets could produce illiquidity in the capital markets, market volatility, increased 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.

In addition, the United Kingdom exited the European Union (or EU) on January 31, 2020 and entered into a transition period from February 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 during which it will seek to agree to the terms of its future relationship with the EU. Uncertainty regarding the relationship between the United Kingdom and the EU post-2020 may create economic instability in the United Kingdom which could affect

11


our operations, including our access to bank loans, and may lead to an adverse effect on our business. While we will seek to minimize associated risk by implementing mitigation plans, we cannot assure you that any such plans will be effective.
Adverse economic conditions or other developments may affect our customers’ ability to charter our vessels and pay for our services and may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Adverse economic conditions or other developments relating directly to our customers may lead to a decline in our customers’ operations or ability to pay for our services, which could result in decreased demand for our vessels and services. Our customers’ inability to pay for any reason could also result in their default on our current contracts and charters. The decline in the amount of services requested by our customers or their default on our contracts with them could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Current market conditions limit our access to capital and our growth.

We have relied primarily upon bank financing and debt and equity offerings, primarily by the Daughter Entities, to fund our growth. Current market conditions generally in the energy sector and for master limited partnerships have significantly reduced our and the Daughter Entities’ access to capital, particularly equity capital, compared to periods prior to mid-2014. Issuing additional common equity given current market conditions is more dilutive and costly than it has been in the past. Lack of access to debt or equity capital at reasonable rates would adversely affect our growth prospects and our ability to refinance debt and pay dividends to our equityholders.
Exposure to interest rate fluctuations will result in fluctuations in our cash flows and operating results and subject us to risks related to the phasing out of LIBOR.
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowings that require us to make interest payments based on LIBOR, EURIBOR or NIBOR. Significant increases in interest rates could adversely affect our operating margins, results of operations and our ability to service our debt. Interest rate changes could impact the amount of our interest payments, and accordingly, our future earnings and cash flow, assuming other factors are held constant. In accordance with our risk management policy, we use interest rate swaps to reduce our exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates. The principal objective of these contracts is to minimize the risks and costs associated with our floating rate debt. We cannot assure you that any hedging activities entered into by us will be effective in fully mitigating our interest rate risk from our variable rate indebtedness.

In addition, LIBOR and certain other interest “benchmarks” may be subject to regulatory guidance and/or reform that could cause interest rates under our current and future debt agreements to perform differently than in the past or cause other unanticipated consequences. The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, has announced that it intends to stop encouraging or requiring banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021, and it is unclear if LIBOR will cease to exist or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will evolve. While some of the agreements governing our revolving facilities and term loan facilities provide for an alternate method of calculating interest rates in the event that a LIBOR rate is unavailable, if LIBOR ceases to exist or if the methods of calculating LIBOR change from their current form, there may be adverse impacts on the financial markets generally and interest rates on borrowings under our revolving facilities and secured term loan facilities may be materially adversely affected.

In addition, we are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements. For further information about our financial instruments at December 31, 2019, that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, please read "Item 11 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk."

Our ability to repay or refinance debt obligations and to fund capital expenditures will depend on certain financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We will need to obtain additional financing, which financing may limit our ability to make cash dividends and distributions, increase our financial leverage and result in dilution to our equityholders.

To fund existing and future debt obligations and capital expenditures and to meet the minimum liquidity requirements under the financial covenants in our credit facilities, we will be required to obtain additional sources of financing, in addition to amounts generated from operations. These anticipated sources of financing include raising additional capital through equity issuances.

Our ability to obtain external financing may be limited by our financial condition at the time of any such financing as well as by adverse market conditions in general. Even if we are successful in obtaining necessary funds, the terms of such financings could limit our ability to pay cash dividends or distributions to security holders or operate our businesses as currently conducted. In addition, issuing additional equity securities may result in significant equityholder dilution and would increase the aggregate amount of cash required to maintain quarterly dividends and distributions. The sale of certain assets will reduce cash from operations and the cash available for distribution to equityholders. For more information on our liquidity requirements, please read “Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 17b Commitments and Contingencies Liquidity."

We have guaranteed certain debt of Teekay Tankers and will be directly obligated to make related payments if Teekay Tankers defaults in its payment obligations.

We have guaranteed obligations pursuant to certain credit facilities of Teekay Tankers. Two of Teekay Tankers’ term loans, maturing in 2021 were guaranteed by Teekay as at December 31, 2019. As of the date of filing, Teekay Tankers has repaid in full and canceled one of the two term loans, which had an outstanding balance of $52 million as at December 31, 2019. As at December 31, 2019, the aggregate outstanding balance on such credit facilities was $145.0 million. If Teekay Tankers defaults in paying these obligations, we will be obligated to make the required payments. The remaining term loan contains covenants that require Teekay Parent and Teekay Tankers collectively to maintain the greater of (a) free cash (cash and cash equivalents) of at least $100.0 million and (b) an aggregate of free cash and undrawn committed revolving credit lines with at least six months to maturity of at least 7.5% of Teekay's total consolidated debt (excluding the debt of Teekay LNG).

Our cash flow depends substantially on the ability of our subsidiaries, primarily our Daughter Entities, to make distributions to us. Our Daughter Entities have significantly reduced their cash distribution levels.

The source of our cash flow includes cash distributions and dividends from our subsidiaries, primarily Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers. The amount of cash our subsidiaries can distribute to us principally depends upon the amount of distributions or dividend declared by each of their Boards of Directors and the amount of cash they generate from their operations.

Effective for the quarterly distribution of the fourth quarter of 2015, we reduced our quarterly cash dividend per share to $0.055 from $0.55, Teekay LNG reduced its quarterly cash distribution per common unit to $0.14 from $0.70. At the time these changes were made, there was a dislocation in the capital markets relative to the stability of our businesses. More specifically, the future equity capital requirements for our committed growth projects, coupled with the relative weakness in energy and capital markets, resulted in our conclusion that it would be in the best interests of our shareholders to conserve more of our internally generated cash flows to fund committed existing growth projects and to reduce debt levels.

We and Teekay LNG each maintained these reduced dividend and distribution levels throughout 2016, 2017 and 2018. Our Board of Directors approved the elimination of the quarterly dividend on Teekay’s common stock subsequent to the quarterly distribution paid in February 2019. Teekay LNG increased its quarterly cash distributions on common units by 36% in 2019 from $0.14 per common unit to $0.19 per common unit commencing with the quarterly distribution paid in May 2019. In addition, Teekay LNG intends to increase its quarterly cash distributions by 32% to $0.25 per common unit commencing with the first quarter of 2020 quarterly distributions, payable in May 2020.

Effective May 2018, Teekay Tankers eliminated the payment of its minimum quarterly dividend of $0.24 per share (as adjusted for a reverse stock split on November 25, 2019) in order to preserve liquidity during the cyclical downturn of the tanker spot market. In November 2019, Teekay Tankers made the determination to transition away from its previous formulaic dividend policy, which was based on a payout of 30% to 50% of its quarterly adjusted net income, to primarily focus on building net asset value through balance sheet delevering and reducing its cost of capital.

These net distribution reductions by Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers substantially reduced our cash flows from them, including receiving no distributions from our incentive distribution rights in Teekay LNG.

The amount of cash our subsidiaries generate from their operations may fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter based on, among other things:

the rates they obtain from their charters, voyages and contracts;
the price and level of production of, and demand for, crude oil, LNG and LPG;
the operating performance of our FPSO units, whereby receipt of incentive-based revenue from the FPSO units is dependent upon the fulfillment of the applicable performance criteria;
the level of their operating costs, such as the cost of crews and repairs and maintenance;
the number of off-hire days for their vessels and the timing of, and number of days required for, dry docking of vessels;
the rates, if any, at which our subsidiaries may be able to redeploy vessels, after they complete their charters or contracts and are redelivered to us;
the rates, if any, at which Teekay Tankers can deploy tankers in the spot market;
delays in the delivery of any future newbuildings or in any future conversions of upgrades of existing vessels, and the beginning of payments under charters relating to those vessels;
the utilization levels of their vessels trading in the spot or short-term market;
prevailing global and regional economic and political conditions;
currency exchange rate fluctuations; and
the effect of governmental regulations and maritime self-regulatory organization standards on the conduct of business.

The actual amount of cash our subsidiaries have available for distribution also depends on other factors such as:

13



the level of their capital expenditures, including for maintaining vessels or converting existing vessels for other uses and complying with regulations;
their debt service and cash reserve requirements, financial covenants and restrictions on distributions contained in their debt agreements, including financial ratio covenants which may indirectly restrict loans, distributions or dividends;
fluctuations in their working capital needs;
their ability to make working capital borrowings; and
the amount of any cash reserves, including reserves for future maintenance capital expenditures, working capital and other matters, established by the Boards of Directors of the Daughter Entities at their discretion.

The amount of cash our subsidiaries generate from operations may differ materially from their profit or loss for the period, which will be affected by non-cash items and the timing of debt service payments. As a result of this and the other factors mentioned above, our subsidiaries may make cash distributions during periods when they record losses and may not make cash distributions during periods when they record net income.
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 the conventional tanker vessels owned by Teekay Tankers, which accounted for approximately 40% and 35% of our total adjusted revenues (consolidated revenues and our proportionate ownership percentage of the revenues from our equity-accounted joint ventures) during 2019 and 2018, respectively. These vessels are primarily employed on the spot-charter market, which is highly volatile and fluctuates based upon tanker and oil supply and demand. 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 may adversely affect the results of operations from our FPSO units.

As at December 31, 2019, we had three FPSO units operating in our fleet. The revenue earned by certain FPSO units depends upon 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; mechanical failure or operator error; 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. 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.
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. These factors increase the redeployment risk of FPSO units. 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 FPSO 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.
Certain FPSO 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.

In the first quarter of 2020, CNR International (U.K.) Limited (or CNR) provided formal notice to Teekay of its intention to decommission the Banff field in the North Sea and remove the Banff FPSO and the Apollo FSO from the field in June 2020. Teekay has an asset retirement obligation (or ARO) relating to the sub-sea production facility associated with the Banff FPSO unit. This obligation generally involves the costs associated with the restoration of the environment surrounding the facility and removal and disposal of all production equipment. The costs under this obligation may exceed our estimates.
Charter rates for conventional oil and product tankers may fluctuate substantially over time and may be lower when we are attempting to re-charter these vessels, which could adversely affect our operating results. Any changes in charter rates for LNG carriers, LPG carriers, 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, and FPSO units, which could also adversely affect redeployment opportunities for those vessels. If upon scheduled expiration or any early termination we are unable to renew or replace fixed-rate charters on favorable terms, if at all, or if we choose not to renew or replace fixed-rate charters, we may employ applicable vessels in the volatile spot market. Increasing our exposure to the spot market, particularly during periods of unfavorable market conditions, could harm our results of operations and make them more volatile.
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 units can fluctuate substantially over time due to a number of different factors, including:

prevailing economic conditions in oil and energy markets;
a substantial or extended decline in demand for oil or natural gas;
increases in the supply of vessel capacity;
competition from more technologically advanced vessels;
the cost of retrofitting or modifying existing vessels, as a result of technological advances in vessel design or equipment, changes in applicable environmental or other regulations or standards, or otherwise; and
a decrease in oil reserves in the fields and other fields in which our FPSO units or other vessels might otherwise be deployed.

15


Vessel values may decline from existing levels. If operation of a vessel is not profitable, or if we cannot redeploy 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 or the disposal of the vessel at a fair market value that is lower than its book value could result in a loss on its sale and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Teekay Parent anticipates selling its three FPSO units in the future. If the sales price for any such transactions is lower than the carrying value of the applicable FPSO unit, we could incur an impairment charge.

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 impairment charge against our earnings. Such a determination involves numerous assumptions and estimates, some of which require more discretion and are less predictable, including certain estimates for our FPSO units. We recognized asset impairment charges, excluding impairment charges recognized by Altera subsequent to its deconsolidation on September 25, 2017, of $182.3 million, $53.9 million and $257.8 million in 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. The 2019 charge included impairments recognized of $178.3 million for three of our FPSO units, the Petrojarl Banff, Sevan Hummingbird and Petrojarl Foinaven. The 2017 charge included impairments recognized of $205.7 million for two of our three FPSO units, the Petrojarl Banff and Petrojarl Foinaven.
Declining market values of our vessels could adversely affect our liquidity and result in breaches of our financing agreements.
Market values of vessels fluctuate depending upon general economic and market conditions affecting relevant markets and industries and competition from other shipping companies and other modes of transportation. In addition, as vessels become older, they generally decline in value. Declining vessel values 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 and obligations under capital lease 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 obligations under capital lease and foreclose on our vessels pledged as collateral. As of December 31, 2019, the total outstanding debt credit facilities and obligations under capital leases with this type of loan-to-value covenant tied to conventional tanker values was $832.6 million and tied to LNG carrier values was $400.8 million. We have nine financing arrangements that require us to maintain vessel value to outstanding loan and lease principal balance ratios ranging from 75% to 135%. At December 31, 2019, we were in compliance with these required ratios.
Our future performance and ability to secure future employment for our vessels depends on continued growth (including any continued growth) in LNG production, demand and supply for LNG and LPG, and associated demand and supply for LNG and LPG shipping.
A significant portion of our future performance will depend on growth in LNG production, demand and supply for LNG and LPG, and associated demand and supply for LNG and LPG shipping services.

Expansion of the LNG and LPG shipping sectors depends on growth in world and regional demand and supply for LNG and LPG and marine transportation of LNG and LPG, as well as the supply of LNG and LPG. Demand or supply for LNG and LPG and for the marine transportation of LNG and LPG could be negatively affected by a number of factors, such as:

increases in the cost of natural gas derived from LNG relative to the cost of natural gas generally;
increases in the cost of LPG relative to the cost of naphtha and other competing petrochemicals;
increases in the production of natural gas 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-natural gas pipelines to natural gas pipelines in those markets;
decreases in the consumption of natural gas due to increases in its price relative to other energy sources or other factors making consumption of natural gas less attractive;
increases in availability of additional sources of natural gas, including shale gas;
increases in the number of LNG or LPG newbuilding vessels, which could lead to an oversupply of vessels in the market and in turn create downward pressure on the demand for LNG and LPG shipping services;
increases in availability of alternative or renewable energy sources; and
negative global or regional economic or political conditions, particularly in LNG and LPG consuming regions, which could reduce energy consumption or its rate of growth, including labor or political unrest or military conflicts affecting existing or proposed areas of LNG production or regasification.
Furthermore, spot charter rates initially came under pressure commencing in February 2020 due to the impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic. In addition, trading prices of our equity securities have been volatile due in part to the recent impact of the pandemic on the energy and financial markets overall. The ongoing pandemic may significantly impact global economic activity (including the demand for LNG and LPG, and associated shipping rates, which may in turn negatively affect our spot chartered vessels) and may disrupt, delay or lead to cancellations of the construction of new LNG projects (including production, liquefaction, regasification, storage and distribution facilities), which in turn could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Reduced demand for LNG and LPG shipping could 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 reduced 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 charters for our LNG and LPG carriers, and FPSO units. The process of obtaining new long-term time charters is highly competitive and generally involves an intensive screening process and competitive bids, and often extends for several months. We expect competition for providing services for potential gas and offshore projects from other experienced companies, including state-sponsored entities. Our competitors may have greater financial resources than us. This increased competition may cause greater price competition for 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.
Altera is not controlled by us and may engage in competition with us.
We have entered into an omnibus agreement with Teekay LNG, Altera and related parties governing, among other things, when Teekay, Teekay LNG, and Altera 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, without the approval of the other applicable parties, (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 Altera will own or operate LNG carriers and (c) neither Teekay LNG nor Altera will own or operate crude oil tankers, other than crude oil tankers included in their respective fleets as of the dates of their respective initial public offerings and certain replacement tankers. If Teekay or its affiliates no longer control the general partner of Teekay LNG or Altera or if there is a change of control of Teekay, the general partner of Teekay LNG or Altera or Teekay, as applicable, may terminate relevant noncompetition and rights of first offer provisions of the omnibus agreement. During 2018, Brookfield Business Partners L.P. and its institutional investors acquired a 51% ownership interest in the general partner of Altera and have the right to appoint a majority of the directors of the general partner’s Board of Directors. This transaction constituted a change of control, giving Altera the right to elect to terminate the omnibus agreement as it applies to Altera, though we have not received any indication from Altera that it intends to do so.
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. One customer, an international oil company, accounted for an aggregate of 12%, or $227.6 million, of our consolidated revenues during 2019 (2018 – one customer for 11%, or $195.0 million; 2017 – two customers for 24%, or $442.4 million). During these periods, no other customer accounted for over 10% of our revenues for the applicable period. 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.

We could lose a customer or the benefits of a contract if:

the customer fails to make payments because of its financial inability, disagreements with us or otherwise;
we agree to reduce the payments due to us under a contract because of the customer’s inability to continue making the original payments;
upon our breach of the relevant contract, the customer exercises certain rights to terminate the contract; or
the customer terminates the contract because we fail to deliver the vessel within a fixed period of time, the vessel is lost or damaged beyond repair, there are serious deficiencies in the vessel or prolonged periods of off-hire, or we default under the contract.

If we lose a key customer, we may be unable to obtain replacement long-term charters. If a customer exercises its right under some charters to purchase the vessel, or terminate the charter, we may be unable to acquire an adequate replacement vessel or charter. Any replacement newbuilding would not generate revenues during its construction and we may be unable to charter any replacement vessel on terms as favorable to us as those of the terminated charter.

The loss of any of our significant customers or a reduction in revenues from them could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to pay dividends and service our debt.

17


Our operations are subject to substantial environmental and other regulations, which may significantly increase our expenses.
Our operations are affected by extensive and changing international, national and local environmental protection laws, regulations, treaties and conventions in force in international waters, the jurisdictional waters of the countries in which our vessels operate, as well as the countries of our vessels’ registration, including those governing oil spills, discharges to air and water, and the handling and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes. Many of these requirements are designed to reduce the risk of oil spills and other pollution. In addition, we believe that the heightened environmental, quality and security concerns of insurance underwriters, regulators and charterers will lead to additional regulatory requirements, including enhanced risk assessment and security requirements and greater inspection and safety requirements on vessels. We expect to incur substantial expenses in complying with these laws and regulations, including expenses for vessel modifications and changes in operating procedures.

These requirements can affect the resale value or useful lives of our vessels, require a reduction in cargo capacity, ship modifications or operational changes or restrictions, lead to decreased availability of insurance coverage for environmental matters or result in the denial of access to certain jurisdictional waters or ports, or detention in, certain ports. Under local, national and foreign laws, as well as international treaties and conventions, we could incur material liabilities, including clean-up obligations, in the event that there is a release of petroleum or other hazardous substances from our vessels or otherwise in connection with our operations. We could also become subject to personal injury or property damage claims relating to the release of or exposure to hazardous materials associated with our operations. In addition, failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may result in administrative and civil penalties, criminal sanctions or the suspension or termination of our operations, including, in certain instances, seizure or detention of our vessels. For further information about regulations affecting our business and related requirements on us, please read “Item 4B – Information on the Company – Operations – Regulations.”

We may be unable to make or realize expected benefits from acquisitions and implementing our long-term strategy of growth through acquisitions may harm our financial condition and performance.

A principal component of our long-term 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 long-term strategy of growth through acquisitions involves business risks commonly encountered in acquisitions of companies, including:

interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of one or more of an acquired company’s businesses and our businesses;
additional demands on members of our senior management while integrating acquired businesses, which would decrease the time they have to manage our existing business, service existing customers and attract new customers;
difficulties identifying suitable acquisition candidates;
difficulties integrating the operations, personnel and business culture of acquired companies;
difficulties coordinating and managing geographically separate organizations;
adverse effects on relationships with our existing suppliers and customers, and those of the companies acquired;
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.

Unlike newbuildings, existing vessels typically do not carry warranties as to their condition. While we generally inspect existing vessels prior to purchase, such an inspection would normally not provide us with as much knowledge of a vessel’s condition as we would possess if it had been built for us and operated by us during its life. Repairs and maintenance costs for existing vessels are difficult to predict and may be substantially higher than for vessels we have operated since they were built. These costs could decrease our cash flow and reduce our liquidity.

18


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, lightering vessels, oil and gas transfer operations, LNG and LPG carriers and FPSO units are 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, only certain of our LNG and LPG carriers carry insurance 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 example, more stringent environmental regulations have led in the past to increased costs for, and in the future may result in the lack of availability of, insurance against risks of environmental damage or pollution. A catastrophic oil spill, marine disaster or natural disaster could result in losses that exceed our insurance coverage, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Any uninsured or under-insured 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 regulatory organizations.

Changes in the insurance markets attributable to terrorist attacks, outbreaks of communicable diseases, environmental catastrophes or political changes 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 or be available only with restrictive terms.
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 has imposed sanctions on several countries or regions such as Cuba, North Korea, Syria, Sudan, Iran and Venezuela. The EU lifted its previously enacted sanctions on Iran in January 2016. At that time, the U.S. lifted its secondary sanctions on Iran which applied to foreign persons but has retained its primary sanctions which apply to U.S. entities and their foreign subsidiaries. In the past, conventional oil tankers owned or chartered-in by us, or third-party vessels participating in RSAs 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 at the time, 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 or Syria.

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 RSAs 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 and oil production are inherently risky, and an incident involving loss or damage to a vessel, significant loss of product or environmental contamination by any of our vessels could harm our reputation and business.
Our vessels, crew and cargoes are at risk of being damaged, injured or lost because of events such as:

marine disaster;
bad weather or natural disasters;
mechanical failures;
grounding, fire, explosions and collisions;
piracy (hijacking and kidnapping);
cyber-attack;
acute-onset illness in connection with global or regional pandemics or similar public health crises;
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;

19


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. In addition, any damage to, or environmental contamination involving, oil production facilities serviced by our vessels could result in the suspension or curtailment of operations by our customer, which would in turn result in loss of revenues to us.
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 for our FPSO units, 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.
We and the Daughter Entities may expend substantial sums during the construction of future newbuildings or upgrades to our or their existing vessels, including upgrades to FPSO units, without earning revenue and without assurance that they will be completed.
We may be required to expend substantial sums as progress payments during the construction of any future newbuildings or upgrades to our existing FPSO units, but we may 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 are 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.

Actual results of new technologies or technologies upgrades may differ from expected results and affect our results of operations.

Teekay LNG has invested and is investing in technology upgrades such as MEGI twin engines and other equipment and designs for certain LNG carriers, including, among other things, to improve fuel efficiency and vessel performance. These new engine designs and other equipment may not perform to expectations, which may result in performance issues or claims based on failure to achieve specification included in charter party agreements. Actual fuel consumption for Teekay LNG’s MEGI LNG carriers exceeds specified levels in certain charter party agreements, which may result in reimbursement by Teekay LNG to the charterer for the cost of the excess fuel consumed. The amount of the reimbursements generally will increase to the extent fuel prices increase, including as a result of the IMO 2020 regulations that took effect on January 1, 2020 and limit Sulfur content in vessel fuel oils. Teekay LNG is installing additional equipment to lower fuel consumption on some of these vessels. Continued reimbursement obligations, unrecovered capital expenditures or new equipment installations not performing to our expectations could harm our results of operations or financial condition.
We may make substantial capital expenditures to expand the size of our fleet and generally are required to make significant installment payments for acquisitions of newbuilding vessels. Depending on whether we finance our expenditures through cash from operations or by incurring debt or issuing equity securities, our financial leverage could increase, or our shareholders 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 projects. We may submit additional bids from time to time. The award process relating to LNG and LPG transportation, typically involves various stages and takes several months to complete. If we bid on and are awarded contracts relating to any LNG and LPG projects, we will need to incur significant capital expenditures to build the related LNG and LPG carriers.


20


To fund the remaining portion of existing or future capital expenditures, we will be required to use existing liquidity, cash from operations or incur borrowings or raise capital through the incurrence of debt or issuance of additional equity, debt or hybrid securities. Our ability to obtain bank financing or to access the capital markets for future offerings may be limited by our financial condition at the time of any such financing or offering as well as by adverse market conditions resulting from, among other things, general economic conditions and contingencies and uncertainties that are beyond our control. Our failure to obtain the funds for necessary future capital expenditures could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Even if we are successful in obtaining necessary funds, incurring additional debt may significantly increase our interest expense and financial leverage, which could limit our financial flexibility and ability to pursue other business opportunities. Issuing additional equity securities may result in significant shareholder dilution and would increase the aggregate amount of cash required to pay quarterly dividends.

In addition, although delivery of the completed vessel will not occur until much later (approximately two to three years from the time the order is placed), we typically must pay an initial installment up-front upon signing the purchase contract. During the construction period, we generally are required to make installment payments on newbuildings prior to their delivery, in addition to incurring financing, miscellaneous construction and project management costs, but we do not derive any income from the vessel until after its delivery. If we finance these payments by issuing debt or equity securities, we will increase the aggregate amount of interest or cash required to maintain our current level of quarterly distributions/dividends to unitholders/shareholders prior to generating cash from the operation of the newbuilding.
Exposure to currency exchange 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, 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 British Pound, the Euro, Singapore Dollar, Australian Dollar, and Canadian Dollar. 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, accrued liabilities, advances from affiliates and long-term debt are revalued and reported based on the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the applicable 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 Krone-denominated bonds.

Teekay LNG may have more difficulty entering into long-term, fixed-rate LNG time-charters if the active short-term, medium-term or spot LNG shipping markets continue to develop.

LNG shipping historically has been transacted with long-term, fixed-rate time-charters, usually with terms ranging from 15 to 20 years. One of Teekay LNG’s principal strategies is to enter into additional long-term, fixed-rate LNG time-charters. In recent years, the amount of LNG traded on a spot and short-term basis (defined as contracts with a duration of 4 years or less) has been increasing. In 2019, spot and short-term trades accounted for approximately 30% of global LNG trade.

If the active spot, short-term or medium-term markets continue to develop, Teekay LNG may have increased difficulty entering into long-term, fixed-rate time-charters for its LNG carriers and, as a result, its cash flow may decrease and be less stable. In addition, an active short-term, medium-term or spot LNG market may require Teekay LNG to enter into charters based on changing market prices, as opposed to contracts based on a fixed rate, which could result in a decrease in its cash flow in periods when the market price for shipping LNG is depressed.
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 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 and certain of our joint venture partners 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. 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.

21


Terrorist attacks, increased hostilities, political change or war could lead to further economic instability, increased costs and disruption of business.
Terrorist attacks, and the current or future conflicts in the Middle East, South East Asia, West Africa and elsewhere, and political change, may adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition, and ability to raise capital and future growth. Continuing hostilities in the Middle East especially among Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Yemen and elsewhere 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 LNG and LPG production and distribution, which could result in reduced demand for our services and have an adverse impact on our operations and or our ability to conduct business.

In addition, oil facilities, shipyards, vessels, pipelines and oil fields could be targets of future terrorist attacks and warlike operations and our vessels could be targets of hijackers, terrorists or warlike operations. Any such attacks could lead to, among other things, bodily injury or loss of life, vessel or other property damage, increased vessel operational costs, including insurance costs, and the inability to transport oil to or from certain locations. Terrorist attacks, war, 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 continue to be a risk, 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, Gulf of Guinea and the Indian Ocean off the coast of Somalia. While there continues to be a significant risk of piracy incidents in the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean, recently there have been increases in the frequency and severity of piracy incidents off the coast of West Africa and a resurgent piracy risk in the Straits of Malacca, Sulu & Celebes Sea and surrounding waters. 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 may increase significantly and such insurance coverage may be more difficult to obtain. In addition, crew costs, including costs which are incurred to the extent we employ on-board armed security guards and escort vessels, 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 insurance for our vessels, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our and many of our customers’ substantial operations outside the United States expose us to political, governmental and economic instability, which could harm our operations.

Because our operations, and the operations of certain of our customers, 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, including Brazil, or where our vessels are registered. Any disruption caused by these factors could harm our business, including by reducing the levels of oil exploration, development and production activities in these areas. We derive some of our revenues from shipping oil 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 have a material adverse effect on the growth of our business, results of operations and financial condition and ability to make cash distributions. In addition, tariffs, trade embargoes and other economic sanctions by the United States or other countries against countries in which we operate or to which we trade could harm our business and ability to make cash distributions. For example, general trade tensions between the United States and China escalated in 2018 and continued through much of 2019, with the United States imposing a series of tariffs on China and China responding by imposing tariffs on United States products. Although during the last quarter of 2019, the United States and China negotiated an agreement to reduce trade tensions which became effective in February 2020, our business could be harmed by increasing trade protectionism or trade tensions between the United States and China, as well as any trade embargoes or other economic sanctions by the United States or other countries. 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.

Two of the six MALT LNG Carriers in the joint venture with Marubeni Corporation (or the MALT Joint Venture), the Marib Spirit and Arwa Spirit, were chartered-out to Yemen under long-term charter contracts with Yemen LNG Company Limited (or YLNG). However, due to the political unrest in Yemen, YLNG decided to temporarily close operation of its LNG plant in Yemen in 2015. As a result, commencing January 1, 2016, the MALT Joint Venture agreed to successive deferral arrangements with YLNG pursuant to which a portion of the charter payments were deferred. Concurrently with the expiration of the most current deferral arrangement, in April 2019, the MALT Joint Venture entered into a suspension agreement with YLNG (the Suspension Agreement) pursuant to which the MALT Joint Venture and YLNG agreed to suspend the two charter contracts for a period of up to three years from the date of the agreement. Please read "Item 5 - Operating and Financial Review and Prospects: TGP Results - Recent Developments in Teekay LNG".
A cyber-attack could materially disrupt our business
We rely on information technology systems and networks in our operations and the administration of our business. Cyber-attacks have increased in number and sophistication in recent years. Our operations could be targeted by individuals or groups seeking to sabotage or disrupt our information technology systems and networks, or to steal data. A successful cyber-attack could materially disrupt our operations, including the safety of our operations, or lead to unauthorized release of information or alteration of information on our systems. Any such attack or other breach of our information technology systems could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our failure to comply with data privacy laws could damage our customer relationships and expose us to litigation risks and potential fines.

Data privacy is subject to frequently changing rules and regulations, which sometimes conflict among the various jurisdictions and countries in which we provide services and continue to develop in ways which we cannot predict, including with respect to evolving technologies such as cloud computing. The EU adopted the General Data Privacy Regulation (or GDPR), a comprehensive legal framework to govern data collection, use and sharing and related consumer privacy rights which took effect in May 2018. The GDPR includes significant penalties for non-compliance. Our failure to adhere to or successfully implement processes in response to changing regulatory requirements in this area could result in legal liability or impairment to our reputation in the marketplace, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Sanctions against key participants in the Yamal LNG Project could impede performance of the Yamal LNG Project, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
The U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (or OFAC) placed Russia-based Novatek, a 50.1% owner of the Yamal LNG Project, on the Sectoral Sanctions Identifications List. OFAC also previously imposed sanctions on an investor in Novatek and these sanctions also remain in effect. The current restrictions on Novatek prohibit U.S. persons (and their subsidiaries) from participating in debt financing transactions of greater than 60 days maturity with Novatek and, by virtue of Novatek’s 50.1% ownership interest, the Yamal LNG Project. The EU also imposed certain sanctions on Russia. These sanctions require an EU license or authorization before a party can provide certain technologies or technical assistance, financing, financial assistance, or brokering with regard to these technologies. However, the technologies being currently sanctioned by the EU appear to focus on oil exploration projects, not gas projects. In addition, OFAC and other governments or organizations may impose additional sanctions on Novatek, the Yamal LNG Project or other project participants, which may further hinder the ability of the Yamal LNG Project to receive necessary financing. Although we believe that we are in compliance with all applicable sanctions, laws and regulations, and intend to maintain such compliance, the scope of these sanctions laws may be subject to change.

In September 2019, OFAC imposed sanctions on COSCO Shipping Tanker (Dalian) Co., Ltd. (or COSCO Dalian). At the time, COSCO Dalian owned 50% of China LNG Shipping (Holdings) Limited (or CLNG). CLNG was not listed on the OFAC Order as a Specially Designated National or involved in any sanctioned activity, but by virtue of being 50%-owned by COSCO Dalian at the time, CLNG was designated as a “Blocked Person” under OFAC's deeming rules. CLNG, in turn, owns a 50% interest in our Yamal LNG joint venture (or the Yamal LNG Joint Venture), which owns six on-the-water ARC7 LNG carriers. As a result of CLNG’s 50% interest, the Yamal LNG Joint Venture at the time also qualified as a “Blocked Person" under OFAC's deeming rules.

In October 2019, the COSCO group completed an ownership restructuring on arms'-length terms pursuant to which its 50% interest in CLNG was transferred from COSCO Dalian to a non-sanctioned COSCO entity, which automatically resulted in CLNG and the Yamal LNG Joint Venture no longer being classified as a “Blocked Person” under OFAC's deeming rules. Although, CLNG and, by implication, our Yamal LNG Joint Venture were absolved from sanctions as a result of the October 2019 restructuring, OFAC subsequently lifted its sanctions against COSCO Dalian in January 2020. We do not expect any material financial impact to us from these resolved issues.

Future sanctions may prohibit the Yamal LNG Joint Venture from performing under its contracts with the Yamal LNG Project, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and ability to make cash distributions on our units.
Failure of the Yamal LNG Project to achieve expected results could lead to a default under the time-charter contracts by the charter party.
The charter party under the Yamal LNG Joint Venture’s time-charter contracts for the Yamal LNG Project is Yamal Trade Pte. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yamal LNG, the project’s sponsor. If the Yamal LNG Project does not achieve expected results, the risk of charter party default may increase. If the charter party defaults on the time-charter contracts, Teekay LNG may be unable to redeploy the vessels under other time-charter contracts or may be forced to scrap the vessels. Any such default could adversely affect Teekay LNG’s results of operations and ability to make cash distributions to us.
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.

Teekay LNG or its joint venture partners may be unable to operate an LNG receiving and regasification terminal and may be exposed from time to time to conditions, developments, or requirements that may adversely affect Teekay LNG or its joint venture.
Teekay LNG has a 30% ownership interest in an LNG regasification and receiving terminal in Bahrain. Although the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture has completed mechanical construction and commissioning of the Bahrain terminal and is currently receiving terminal use payments, certain handover arrangements in respect of the Bahrain terminal remain subject to the approval of the lenders of the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture. As a result, the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture may experience associated delays in the formal acceptance of the terminal and the commencement of commercial operations if the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture does not satisfy all applicable conditions and obtain all necessary consents in accordance with its financing agreements. Accordingly, Teekay LNG or its joint venture partners may be unable to operate the LNG receiving and regasification terminal properly, whether due to a lack of satisfaction of such conditions, a lack of obtaining such consents, a lack of industry experience, or otherwise, which could affect their ability to operate the terminal, including as a result of a reduction in the expected output of the terminal. Any such reduction could decrease revenues to the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture which may harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, the development, construction and operation of large-scale energy and regasification projects, such as the Bahrain terminal, are inherently subject to unforeseen conditions or developments. Such conditions or developments may include, among others: shortages or delays in deliveries of equipment, materials or labor; significant cost over-runs; labor disruptions; government issues; regulatory changes; legal disputes with third-parties, including contractors, sub-contractors and customers; investigations involving various authorities; adverse weather conditions; unanticipated increases in equipment, material or labor costs; reductions in access to financing, an increase in the amount of required support from shareholders of the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture under the terms of the financing, the ability to comply with all conditions and requirements under the terms of the financing, and the ability to obtain any applicable waivers or consents from our lenders on a timely basis, or at all; unforeseen engineering, technical and technological design, environmental, infrastructure or engineering issues; the inability to operate the Bahrain terminal at its full designed capacity; a temporary shutdown of the Bahrain terminal; and a general inability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Bahrain terminal, including all the benefits associated with the long-term contract with the customer. In the event that one or more of these conditions or developments were to materialize or continue for a prolonged period (in particular, any legal disputes with third parties or the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture’s inability to comply with all conditions and requirements under the terms of its financing or obtain any applicable waivers or consents from its lenders under the terms of its financing), our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.
Climate change and greenhouse gas restrictions may adversely impact our operations and markets.
Due to concern over the risk of climate change, a number of countries have adopted, or are considering the adoption of, regulatory frameworks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These regulatory measures include, among others, adoption of cap and trade regimes, carbon taxes, increased efficiency standards, and incentives or mandates for renewable energy. Compliance with changes in laws, regulations and obligations relating to climate change could increase our costs related to operating and maintaining our vessels and require us to install new emission controls, acquire allowances or pay taxes related to our greenhouse gas emissions, or administer and manage a greenhouse gas emissions program. Revenue generation and strategic growth opportunities may also be adversely affected.

Adverse effects upon the oil and gas industry relating to climate change may also adversely affect demand for our services. Although we do not expect that demand for oil and gas will lessen dramatically over the short term due to climate change, 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, 2019, our consolidated long-term debt and obligations related to finance leases totaled $4.7 billion and we had the capacity to borrow an additional $0.3 billion under our revolving credit facilities. These credit facilities may be used by us for general corporate purposes. In addition to our consolidated debt, our total proportionate interest in debt of joint ventures we do not control was $2.2 billion as of December 31, 2019, of which Teekay Tankers or Teekay LNG has guaranteed $1.2 billion and the remaining $1.0 billion has limited or no recourse to Teekay LNG. Our consolidated debt, finance lease obligations and joint venture debt could increase substantially. We will continue to have the ability to incur additional debt, subject to limitations in our credit facilities. Our level of debt could have important consequences to us, including:

our ability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other purposes, and our ability to refinance our credit facilities may be impaired or such financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all;
we will need to use a substantial portion of our cash flow to make principal and interest payments on our debt, reducing the funds that would otherwise be available for operations, future business opportunities and dividends to shareholders;
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.

24


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, lease obligations, indentures and in any of our future financing agreements could adversely affect our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to pursue and expand our business activities. For example, these financing arrangements restrict our ability to:
incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness;
pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem our capital stock;
prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt;
issue certain preferred shares or similar equity securities;
make loans and investments;
enter into a new line of business;
incur or permit certain liens to exist;
enter into transactions with affiliates;
create unrestricted subsidiaries;
transfer, sell, convey or otherwise dispose of assets;
make certain acquisitions and investments;
enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and
consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets.

In addition, certain of our debt agreements require us to comply with certain financial covenants. Our ability to comply with covenants and restrictions contained in debt instruments and lease obligations 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 our financing agreements or indentures, our obligations may become immediately due and payable, and the lenders’ commitment under our credit facilities, if any, to make further loans may terminate. This could lead to cross-defaults under our other financing agreements and result in obligations becoming due and commitments being terminated under such agreements. A default under financing agreements could also result in foreclosure on any of our vessels and other assets securing related loans.

Furthermore, the termination of any of our charter contracts by our customers could result in the repayment of the debt facilities to which the chartered vessels relate.

Because we are organized under the laws of the Marshall Islands, it may be difficult to serve us with legal process or enforce judgments against us, our directors or our management.

We are organized under the laws of the Marshall Islands, and all of our assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, a majority of our directors and officers are non-residents of the United States, and all or a substantial portion of the assets of these non-residents are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible to bring an action against us or against these individuals in the United States. Even if successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Marshall Islands and of other jurisdictions may prevent or restrict the enforcement of a judgment against our assets or the assets of our general partner or its directors and officers.

As a Marshall Islands corporation with our headquarters in Canada, and with a majority of our subsidiaries being Marshall Islands entities and also having subsidiaries in other offshore jurisdictions, our operations may be subject to economic substance requirements of the European Union, which could harm our business.

Finance ministers of the EU rate jurisdictions for tax transparency, governance, real economic activity and corporate tax rate. Countries that do not adequately cooperate with the finance ministers are put on a “grey list” or a “blacklist”. Bermuda and the Marshall Islands were removed from the blacklist in May and October 2019, respectively. Subsequently, in February 2020, Bermuda and the Marshall Islands were "white-listed" by the EU, and we understand that these two countries fully expect to meet the EU requirements going forward.

EU member states have agreed upon a set of measures, which they can choose to apply against the listed countries, including increased monitoring and audits, withholding taxes, special documentation requirements and anti-abuse provisions. The European Commission has stated it will continue to support member states' efforts to develop a more coordinated approach to sanctions for the listed countries. EU legislation prohibits EU funds from being channeled or transited through entities in countries on the blacklist.


25


We are a Marshall Islands corporation with our headquarters in Canada. A majority of our subsidiaries are Marshall Islands entities and many of our subsidiaries are either organized or registered in Bermuda. These jurisdictions have enacted economic substance laws and regulations with which we are obligated to comply. We understand that recently-adopted Bermudian legislation requires each Bermudian-registered entity to maintain a substantial economic presence in Bermuda and provides that a registered entity that carries on a relevant activity may comply with the economic substance requirements if (i) it is directed and managed in Bermuda, (ii) its core income-generating activities are undertaken in Bermuda with respect to the relevant activity, (iii) it maintains adequate physical presence in Bermuda, (iv) it has adequate full-time employees in Bermuda with suitable qualifications, and (v) it incurs adequate operating expenditures in Bermuda in relation to the relevant activity. The Marshall Islands have also adopted similar economic substance requirements. However, the Marshall Islands provide a lower economic substance threshold for entities that carry on certain relevant activities including certain international shipping and pure equity holding activities. We believe that we and our subsidiaries are compliant with the Bermuda and the Marshall Islands economic substance requirements and do not foresee that these requirements will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. However, if there were a change in the requirements or interpretation thereof, or if there were an unexpected change to our operations, any such change could result in noncompliance with the economic substance legislation and therefore could result in fines or other penalties, increased monitoring and audits, and dissolution of the non-compliant entity, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

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 or to access available cash of the joint ventures than we would with our own subsidiaries. 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 (including under relevant sanctions and anti-bribery and corruption laws) 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.
We depend on certain joint venture partners to assist us in operating our businesses and competing in our markets.
Our ability to compete for certain projects, enter into new charters, secure financings and expand our customer relationships depends in part on our ability to leverage our relationship with our joint venture partners and their reputation and relationships in the shipping industry. If our joint venture partners suffer material damage to its financial condition, reputation or relationships, it may harm the ability of us or our subsidiaries to:

renew existing charters and contracts of affreightment upon their expiration;
obtain new charters and contracts of affreightment;
successfully interact with shipyards during periods of shipyard construction constraints;
obtain financing on commercially acceptable terms, if at all; or
maintain satisfactory relationships with suppliers and other third parties.

If our or our subsidiaries’ ability to do any of the things described above is impaired, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to make cash distributions.

We may experience operational problems with vessels that reduce revenue and increase costs.

FPSO units are complex and their operations are technically challenging. Marine transportation and oil production operations are subject to mechanical risks and problems as well as environmental risks. Operational problems may lead to loss of revenue or higher than anticipated operating expenses or require additional capital expenditures. Any of these results could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.
Teekay Tankers’ U.S. Gulf lightering business competes with alternative methods of delivering crude oil to ports, which may limit its earnings in this area of its operations.
Teekay Tankers’ U.S. Gulf lightering business faces competition from alternative methods of delivering crude oil shipments to port, including offshore offloading facilities. While we believe that lightering offers advantages over alternative methods of delivering crude oil to U.S. Gulf ports, Teekay Tankers’ lightering revenues may be limited due to the availability of alternative methods.

26


Teekay Tankers’ full service lightering operations are subject to specific risks that could lead to accidents, oil spills or property damage.
Lightering is subject to specific risks arising from the process of safely bringing two large moving tankers next to each other and mooring them for lightering operations. These operations require a high degree of expertise and present a higher risk of collision compared to when docking a vessel at port. Lightering operations, similar to marine transportation in general, are also subject to risks due to events such as mechanical failures, human error, and weather conditions.

Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act and other similar legislation in other jurisdictions could result in fines, criminal penalties, contract terminations and an adverse effect on our business.

We operate our vessels worldwide, which may require our vessels to trade in countries known to have a reputation for corruption. We are committed to doing business in accordance with applicable anti-corruption laws and have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics which is consistent and in full compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (or the FCPA), and the Bribery Act 2010 of the United Kingdom (or the UK Bribery Act). We are subject, however, to the risk that we, our affiliated entities or our or their respective officers, directors, employees and agents may take actions determined to be in violation of such anti-corruption laws, including the FCPA and the UK Bribery Act. Any such violation could result in substantial fines, sanctions, civil and/or criminal penalties, or curtailment of operations in certain jurisdictions, and might adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, actual or alleged violations could damage our reputation and ability to do business. Furthermore, detecting, investigating, and resolving actual or alleged violations is expensive and can consume significant time and attention of our senior management.
Tax Risks
In addition to the following risk factors, you should read "Item 4E – Taxation of the Company", "Item 10 – Additional Information – Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "Item 10 – Additional Information – Non-United States Tax Considerations" for a more complete discussion of the expected material U.S. federal and non-U.S. income tax considerations relating to us and the ownership and disposition of our 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. shareholders.
A non-U.S. entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be treated as a “passive foreign investment company” (or PFIC) for such purposes in any taxable year for which either (i) at least 75% of its gross income consists of “passive income” or (ii) at least 50% of the average value of the entity’s assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of “passive income.” For purposes of these tests, “passive income” includes dividends, interest, 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 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 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 this position would be sustained by a court if contested by the IRS 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 during which a U.S. Holder (as defined below under "Item 10 – Additional Information – Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations") held our common stock, such U.S. Holder would face adverse tax consequences. For a more comprehensive discussion regarding the tax consequences to U.S. Holders if we are treated as a PFIC, please read "Item 10 – Additional Information – Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations – United States Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders – Consequences of Possible PFIC Classification".
We are subject to taxes, which reduces our cash available for distribution to shareholders.
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 the amount of our cash available for distribution. In computing our tax obligations in these jurisdictions, we are required to take various tax accounting and reporting positions, including in certain cases estimates, 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.

27


A successful challenge by a tax authority could result in additional tax imposed on us or our subsidiaries, further reducing the cash available for distribution. We have established reserves in our financial statements that we believe are adequate to cover our liability for any such additional taxes. We cannot assure you, however, that such reserves will be sufficient to cover any additional tax liability that may be imposed on our subsidiaries. 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 Section 883 of the Code. If we were not exempt from tax under Section 883 of the Code, we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on income we earn from voyages into or out of the United States, the amount of which is not within our complete control. In addition, we rely on an exemption to be deemed non-resident in Canada for Canadian tax purposes under subsection 250(6) of the Canada Income Tax Act for (i) corporations whose principal business is international shipping and that derive all or substantially all of their revenue from international shipping, and (ii) corporations that are holding companies that have over half of the cost base of their investments in eligible international shipping subsidiaries and receive substantially all of their revenue as dividends from those eligible international shipping subsidiaries exempt under subsection 250(6).  If we were to cease to qualify for the subsection 250(6) exemption, we could be subject to Canadian income tax and also Canadian withholding tax on outbound distributions, which could have  an adverse effect on our operating results.  In addition, to the extent Teekay Corporation were to distribute dividends as a corporation determined to be resident in Canada, stockholders who are not resident in Canada for purposes of the Canada Income Tax Act would generally be subject to Canadian withholding tax in respect of such dividends paid by Teekay Corporation.

Typically, most of our and our subsidiaries time-charter and spot-voyage charter contracts require the charterer to reimburse us for a certain period of time in respect of taxes incurred as a consequence of the voyage activities of our vessels, while performing under the relevant charter. However, our rights to reimbursement under charter contracts may not survive for as long as the applicable statutes of limitations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. As such, we may not be able to obtain reimbursement from our charterers where any applicable taxes that are not paid before the contractual claim period has expired.

Item 4.
Information on the Company
A.
Overview, History and Development
Overview
Teekay Corporation is an operational leader, project developer and portfolio manager in the marine midstream space. We primarily provide oil and gas transportation services to the world’s leading oil and gas companies. We generate a significant portion of revenue from long-term, fixed-rate contracts with a diverse base of energy and utility companies. Over the past 20 years, we have undergone a major transformation from being primarily an owner of ships in the cyclical spot tanker business to being an 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), the continuation of our conventional tanker business through our publicly-listed subsidiary Teekay Tankers Ltd. (NYSE: TNK) (or Teekay Tankers), and our operations in the offshore production sector through our ownership of TPO AS.

The combined Teekay entities operate total assets under management of approximately $11 billion, comprised of approximately 140 liquefied gas, offshore, and conventional tanker assets (excluding vessels managed for third parties). With offices in 12 countries and approximately 5,700 seagoing and shore-based employees, Teekay provides a comprehensive set of marine services to the world’s leading oil and gas companies. We are one of the world’s largest independent owners and operators of LNG carriers and one of the world’s largest owners and operators of mid-sized crude tankers. Our organizational structure can be divided into our controlling interests in our publicly-listed subsidiaries, Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers (or the Daughter Entities), and Teekay and its remaining subsidiaries (or Teekay Parent).

Our business strategy across the Teekay Group is focused on the following:
Generate attractive long-term risk-adjusted returns, utilizing our market leading positions, global footprint and operational excellence;
Offer a wide breadth of marine midstream solutions to meet our customers’ needs; and
Provide superior customer service by maintaining high reliability, safety, environmental and quality standards.

As of January 1, 2020, the Teekay group had approximately $10 billion of contracted, forward fixed-rate revenues. The revenue-weighted average remaining term of the Teekay group’s contracts was approximately 10.6 years as of January 1, 2020, excluding spot market contracts and extension options. “Revenue-weighted average” represents the average remaining fixed contract duration of the applicable contracts, weighted on the basis of aggregate fixed forward payments to be received from each operating segment, excluding extension options. Fixed forward payments for our equity-accounted investments and joint ventures are proportionately adjusted in the calculation to reflect our ownership interests in such investments and joint ventures.

Teekay LNG includes all of our LNG and LPG carriers. LNG carriers are usually chartered to carry LNG pursuant to time-charter contracts, where a vessel is hired for a fixed period of time. LPG carriers are mainly chartered to carry LPG and ammonia on time charters, on contracts of affreightment or spot voyage charters. As of December 31, 2019, Teekay LNG’s fleet had a total cargo carrying capacity of approximately 9.2 million cubic meters. Please read “– B. Operations – Our Fleet.”


28


Teekay Tankers includes all of our conventional crude oil tankers and product carriers. Teekay Tankers' conventional crude oil tankers and product tankers primarily operate in the spot-tanker market or are subject to time charters or contracts of affreightment that are priced on a spot-market basis or are short-term, fixed-rate contracts. Teekay Tankers considers contracts that have an original term of less than one year in duration to be short-term. Certain of its conventional crude oil tankers and product tankers are on fixed-rate time-charter contracts with an initial duration of at least one year. Our conventional Aframax, Suezmax, and large product tankers are among the vessels included in Teekay Tankers. Please read “– B. Operations – Our Fleet.”

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.

Teekay Parent currently owns three FPSO units; however, Teekay Parent does not intend to retain these assets over the long term.

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 office at Suite 2000, Bentall 5, 550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2K2, Canada. Our telephone number at such address is (604) 683-3529.

The SEC maintains an Internet site at www.sec.gov, that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. Our website is www.teekay.com. The information contained on our website is not part of this annual report.
Our Ownership of the Daughter Entities and Recent Equity Offerings and Transactions by Daughter Entities
Our ownership of Teekay Tankers was 28.7% as of December 31, 2019. 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. Our ownership of Teekay LNG was 33.9% (including our 2% general partner interest) as of December 31, 2019. We maintain control of Teekay LNG by virtue of our control of the general partner and continue to consolidate this subsidiary. Please read “Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 5 – Equity Financing Transactions of the Daughter Entities.”

In May 2019, we sold our remaining interests in Altera to Brookfield (or the 2019 Brookfield Transaction).

Please read “Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Recent Developments and Results of Operations” for more information on recent transactions.
Seasonality of our operations
Our tankers operate in markets that have historically exhibited seasonal variations in tanker demand and, therefore, in spot-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 but weaker in the summer months as a result of lower oil consumption in the northern hemisphere and 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 the tankers in our fleet have historically been weaker during our fiscal quarters ended June 30 and September 30, and stronger in our fiscal quarters ended December 31 and March 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 for our FPSO units, 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.
B.
Operations
We have three primary lines of business: offshore production (FPSO units), liquefied gas carriers, and conventional tankers. We manage these businesses for the benefit of all stakeholders. We allocate capital and assess performance from the separate perspectives of Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers, and Teekay Parent, as well as from the perspective of the lines of business (the Line of Business approach). The primary focus of our organizational structure, internal reporting and allocation of resources by the chief operating decision maker, is on Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers, and Teekay Parent (the Legal Entity approach). However, we have continued to incorporate the Line of Business approach as in certain cases there is more than one line of business in each of Teekay LNG, Teekay Tankers and Teekay Parent, and we believe this information allows a better understanding of our performance and prospects for future net cash flows.

Teekay LNG

Teekay LNG’s vessels primarily compete in the LNG and LPG markets. LNG carriers are usually chartered to carry LNG pursuant to time-charter contracts, where a vessel is hired for a fixed period of time and the charter rate is payable to the owner on a monthly basis and in advance. LNG shipping historically has been transacted with 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 recent years. The amount of LNG traded on a spot and short-term basis (defined as contracts with a duration of four years or less) has increased from approximately 15% of total LNG supply in 2010 to almost 30% in 2019.

In the LNG market, Teekay LNG competes principally with other private and state-controlled energy and utilities companies that 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 some major energy companies have continued to divest non-core businesses.

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 supercooled 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 the LNG and provides insulation to reduce the amount of LNG that boils off naturally. That natural boil off is either used as fuel to power the engines on the ship or it can be reliquified and put back into the tanks. LNG is transported overseas in specially built tanks on double-hulled ships to a receiving terminal, where it is offloaded and stored in 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.

With the exception of the Arctic Spirit and Polar Spirit, which are the only two ships in the world that utilize the Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries Self Supporting Prismatic Tank IMO Type B (or IHI SPB) independent tank technology, Teekay LNG's fleet makes use of one of the Gaz Transport and Technigaz (or GTT) membrane containment systems. The GTT membrane systems are used in the majority of LNG tankers now being constructed. New LNG carriers generally have an expected lifespan of approximately 35 to 40 years. Unlike the oil tanker industry, there are currently no regulations that require the phase-out from trading of LNG carriers after they reach a certain age. As at December 31, 2019, Teekay LNG's LNG carriers, including equity-accounted vessels, had an average age of approximately seven years, compared to the world LNG carrier fleet average age of approximately 10 years. In addition, as at that date, there were approximately 593 vessels in the world LNG fleet and approximately 150 additional LNG carriers under construction or on order for delivery through 2022.

In the LPG market, Teekay LNG competes principally with independent ship owners and operators, and other private and state-controlled energy and chemical companies that generally operate captive fleets.

LPG shipping involves the transportation of three main categories of cargo: liquid petroleum gases, including propane, butane and ethane; petrochemical gases including ethylene, propylene and butadiene; and ammonia. LPG carriers are mainly chartered to carry LPG on time-charters, 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. As at December 31, 2019, Teekay LNG's LPG and multi-gas carriers had an average age of approximately nine years compared to world average of 15 years as of December 31, 2019.

As of December 31, 2019, the worldwide LPG carrier fleet consisted of approximately 1,466 vessels and approximately 100 additional LPG vessels on order for delivery through 2022. LPG carriers range in size from approximately 100 to approximately 88,000 cubic meters (or cbm). Approximately 46% (in terms of vessel numbers) of the worldwide fleet is less than 5,000 cbm. New LPG carriers generally have an expected lifespan of approximately 30 to 35 years.

Teekay LNG includes all of our LNG and LPG carriers. As at December 31, 2019, Teekay LNG had ownership interests in 49 LNG carriers. In addition, as at December 31, 2019, Teekay LNG had full ownership of seven LPG carriers and 50% ownership, through its 50% joint venture agreement with Exmar LPG BVBA (or the Exmar LPG Joint Venture), in another 20 LPG carriers and three chartered-in LPG carriers.
Teekay Tankers
Teekay Tankers owns all of our conventional crude oil tankers and product carriers. Our conventional crude oil tankers and product tankers primarily operate in the spot-tanker market or are subject to time charters or contracts of affreightment that are priced on a spot-market basis or are short-term, fixed-rate contracts. We consider contracts that have an original term of less than one year in duration to be short-term. Certain of our conventional crude oil tankers and product tankers are on fixed-rate time-charter contracts with an initial duration of at least one year.


30


Most of Teekay Tankers’ conventional tankers operate pursuant to revenue sharing agreements (or RSAs). The RSAs are designed to spread the costs and risks associated with operation of vessels and to share the net revenues (revenues less voyage expenses and other applicable expenses) earned by all of the vessels in the RSA, based on the actual earning days each vessel is available and the relative performance capabilities, including speed and bunker consumption of each vessel. The performance capabilities of each vessel are adjusted on standard intervals based on current data. In addition, Teekay Tankers' share of the net revenues includes additional amounts, consisting of a per vessel per day fee and a percentage of the gross revenues related to the vessels of third-party vessel owners, based on their responsibilities in employing the vessels subject to the RSAs on voyage charters or time-charters. As of December 31, 2019, 50 of Teekay Tankers' owned and leased vessels and six of Teekay Tankers' time-chartered in vessels operated in the spot market through employment on spot voyage charters. Twenty-four of Teekay Tankers' Suezmax tankers, 16 of the Aframax tankers and eight of the LR2 product tankers in its fleet, as well as 20 vessels not in its fleet and owned by third parties, were subject to RSAs. The vessels subject to the RSAs are employed and operated in the spot market or pursuant to time charters of less than one year.

Teekay Tankers’ vessels 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.

Teekay Tankers competes principally with other owners in the spot-charter market through the global tanker charter market. This market is comprised of tanker broker companies that represent both charterers and ship-owners in chartering transactions. Within this market, some transactions, referred to as “market cargoes,” are offered by charterers through two or more brokers simultaneously and shown to the widest possible range of owners; other transactions, referred to as “private cargoes,” are given by the charterer to only one broker and shown selectively to a limited number of owners whose tankers are most likely to be acceptable to the charterer and are in position to undertake the voyage.

Teekay Tankers’ competition in the Aframax (85,000 to 124,999 dwt) market is also affected by the availability of other size vessels that compete in that market. Suezmax (125,000 to 199,999 dwt) vessels and Panamax (55,000 to 84,999 dwt) vessels can compete for many of the same charters for which our Aframax tankers compete; Aframax size vessels and VLCCs (200,000 to 319,999 dwt) can compete for many of the same charters for which our Suezmax tankers may compete. Because of their large size, Very Large Crude Carriers (or VLCCs) and Ultra Large Crude Carriers (or ULCCs) (320,000+ dwt) rarely compete directly with Aframax tankers, and ULCCs rarely compete with Suezmax tankers for specific charters. However, because VLCCs and ULCCs comprise a substantial portion of the total capacity of the market, movements by such vessels into Suezmax trades and of Suezmax vessels into Aframax trades would heighten the already intense competition.

Teekay Tankers also competes in the Long Range 2 (or LR2) (85,000 to 109,999 dwt) product tanker market. Competition in the LR2 product tanker market is affected by the availability of other size vessels that compete in the market. Long Range 1 (or LR1) (55,000-84,999 dwt) size vessels can compete for many of the same charters for which Teekay Tankers' LR2 tankers compete.

The operation of tanker vessels, as well as the seaborne transportation of crude oil and refined petroleum products, is a competitive market. There are several large operators of Aframax, Suezmax, and LR2 tonnage that provide these services globally.

Teekay Tankers believe that it has competitive advantages in the Aframax and Suezmax tanker market as a result of the quality, type and dimensions of its vessels and its market share in the Indo-Pacific and Atlantic Basins. As of December 31, 2019, its Aframax/LR2 tanker fleet had an average age of approximately 12.2 years and its Suezmax tanker fleet had an average age of approximately 11.6 years. This compares to an average age for the world oil tanker fleet of approximately 10.9 years, for the world Aframax/LR2 tanker fleet of approximately 10.5 years and for the world Suezmax tanker fleet of approximately 10.0 years.

Teekay Tankers completed a merger with TIL in November 2017, acquiring all of the remaining 27.0 million issued and outstanding common shares of TIL, in a share-for-share exchange at a ratio of 3.3 shares of Teekay Tankers' Class A common stock for each share of TIL common stock. As a result of the merger, TIL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teekay Tankers. At the time of the merger, TIL owned a modern fleet of 10 Suezmax tankers, six Aframax tankers and two LR2 product tankers. For additional information, please read "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 23 – Equity-accounted Investments".

In May 2017, Teekay Tankers completed the acquisition from Teekay Holdings Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teekay, of the remaining 50% interest in Teekay Tanker Operations Ltd. (or TTOL), which owns conventional tanker commercial management and technical management operations and directly administers four commercially managed tanker RSAs.

Teekay Tankers acquired a ship-to-ship transfer business (now known as Teekay Marine Solutions or TMS) in July 2015 from a company jointly owned by Teekay and I.M. Skaugen SE (or Skaugen). TMS provides a full suite of ship-to-ship transfer services in the oil, gas and dry bulk industries. In addition to full service lightering and lightering support, it also provides consultancy, terminal management and project development services. TMS owns three STS support vessels. In January 2020, Teekay Tankers reached an agreement to sell its non-U.S. portion of the TMS business, as well as its LNG terminal management business. The sale is expected to close in the second quarter of 2020.

Teekay Parent
Our long-term vision is for Teekay Parent to be primarily a portfolio manager and project developer with the Teekay Group’s fixed assets primarily owned directly by its Daughter Entities. Our primary financial objectives for Teekay Parent are to increase the value of our three FPSO units and the value of our investments in Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers, increase Teekay Parent’s free cash flow per share and, as a service provider to its Daughter Entities, provide scale and other benefits across the Teekay Group. We also intend to (a) continue to reduce debt of Teekay Parent, including by selling the three FPSO units or other assets in the future and using the net proceeds to repay debt and (b) seek to increase the distributions of Teekay LNG in a sustainable manner and the dividends of Teekay Tankers as the tanker market recovers and as Teekay Tankers' balance sheet leverage declines.
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 from existing pipeline infrastructure. Of four major types of floating production systems, FPSO units are the most common type. Typically, the other types of floating production systems do not have significant storage and need to be connected into a pipeline system or use an FSO unit for storage. FPSO units are less weight-sensitive than other types of floating production systems and their extensive deck area provides flexibility in process plant layouts. In addition, the ability to utilize surplus or aging tanker hulls for conversion to an FPSO unit provides a relatively inexpensive solution compared to the new construction of other floating production systems. A majority of the cost of an FPSO comes from its top-side production equipment and thus, FPSO 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. Most independent FPSO contractors have backgrounds in marine energy transportation, oil field services or oil field engineering and construction.
Our Consolidated Fleet under Management
As at December 31, 2019, Teekay and its Daughter Entities operated under management a fleet of 154 vessels (excluding vessels managed for third parties), including chartered-in vessels. The following table summarizes our fleet under management as at December 31, 2019:

Our vessels are of Bahamian, Belgian, Danish International Register, Hong Kong, Isle of Man, Marshall Islands, Singapore, and Spanish registry.

Many of our Aframax and Suezmax vessels have been designed and constructed as substantially identical sister ships. These vessels can, in many situations, be interchanged, providing scheduling flexibility and greater capacity utilization. In addition, spare parts and technical knowledge can be applied to all the vessels in the particular series, thereby generating operating efficiencies.

Please read “Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 9 – Long-Term Debt” for information with respect to major encumbrances against our vessels.
Safety, Management of Ship Operations and Administration
Safety and environmental compliance are our top operational priorities. We operate our vessels in a manner intended to protect the safety and health of our employees, the general public and the environment. We seek to manage the risks inherent in our business and are committed to eliminating incidents that threaten the safety and integrity of our vessels, such as groundings, fires, collisions and oil 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, we introduced a safety leadership program for our employees titled “Operational Leadership, The Journey” which sets out our operational expectations, the responsibilities of individual employees and our commitment to empowering our employees to work safely and live Teekay’s vision through a positive and responsible attitude. In 2016, we introduced a 5-year "Safety Road Map" that comprises a number of safety projects to further enhance the culture of safety on board Teekay's vessels.

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, ISO 45001 for Occupational Health and Safety Management System and the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (MLC 2006) that became effective in 2013. The management system is certified by Det Norske Veritas Germanischer Lloyd (or DNV-GL), the Norwegian classification society. It has also been separately approved by the Australian and Spanish flag administrations. Although certification is valid for five years, compliance with the above-mentioned standards is confirmed on a yearly basis by a rigorous auditing procedure that includes both internal audits as well as external verification audits by DNV-GL and certain flag states.

Since 2010, we have produced a publicly available sustainability report that reflects the efforts, achievements, results and challenges faced by us and our affiliates relating to several key areas, including emissions, climate change, corporate social responsibility, diversity and health, safety environment and quality. We recognize the significance of Environmental, Social and Governance considerations and have set corporate goals for our organization in these areas for 2020 and beyond.

We provide, through certain of our subsidiaries, expertise in various functions critical to the operations of our operating subsidiaries. We believe this arrangement affords a safe, efficient and cost-effective operation. Our subsidiaries also provide to us access to human resources, financial and other administrative functions pursuant to administrative services agreements.

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.

These functions are supported by onboard and onshore systems for maintenance, inventory, purchasing and budget management.


33


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 and transfer/lightering 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, sanctions and boycotts, whether relating to us or any of our joint venture partners, suppliers or customers. The occurrence of any of these events may result in loss of revenues or increased costs.

We carry hull and machinery (marine and war risks) and protection and indemnity insurance coverage to protect against most of the accident-related risks involved in the conduct of our business. Hull and machinery insurance covers loss of or damage to a vessel due to marine perils such as collision, grounding and weather. Protection and indemnity insurance indemnifies us against liabilities incurred while operating vessels, including injury to our crew or third parties, cargo loss and pollution. The current 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 pollution insurance coverage. However, we cannot guarantee that all covered risks are adequately insured against, that any particular claim will be paid or that we will be able to procure adequate insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates in the future. More stringent environmental regulations have resulted in increased costs for, and may result in the lack of availability of, insurance against risks of environmental damage or pollution.

In our operations, we use 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, ISO 45001:2018, 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 those regions, 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 certain regions 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 regions where we operate could affect our trade patterns, increase insurance costs, increase tanker operational costs and otherwise adversely affect our operations and performance. In addition, tariffs, trade embargoes, and other economic sanctions by the United States or other countries against countries in the Indo-Pacific Basin or elsewhere as a result of terrorist attacks or otherwise may limit trading activities with those countries, which could also adversely affect our operations and performance.
Customers
We have derived, and believe that we will continue to derive, a significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of customers. Our customers include major energy and utility companies, major oil traders, large oil and LNG consumers and petroleum product producers, government agencies, and various other entities that depend upon marine transportation. One customer, an international oil company, accounted for an aggregate of 12%, or $227.6 million, of our consolidated revenues during 2019 (2018 – one customer for 11%, or $195.0 million; 2017 – two customers for 24%, or $442.4 million). During these periods, no other customer accounted for over 10% of our revenues for the applicable period. 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 of the major classification societies and members of International Association of Classification Societies ltd (or IACS): Bureau Veritas (or BV), Lloyd’s Register of Shipping, the American Bureau of Shipping or DNV-GL.


34


The applicable classification society certifies that the vessel’s design and build conform 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 those 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 two and a half to five-year intervals. In-water inspection is carried out during the second or third annual inspection (e.g. 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 state to ensure that they meet the requirements of the ISM Code. DNV-GL typically carries out this task. We also follow an internal process of internal audits undertaken annually at each office and vessel.

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 are being maintained to give reliable service;
we are optimizing performance in terms of speed and fuel consumption; and
our vessels’ 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 safety 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.

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 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 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 and prevention of pollution. IMO regulations relating to pollution prevention for oil tankers have been adopted by many of the jurisdictions in which our tanker fleet operates. Under IMO regulations and subject to limited exceptions, a tanker must be of double-hull construction in accordance with the requirements set out in these regulations, or be of another approved design ensuring the same level of protection against oil pollution. All of our tankers are double-hulled.

35


Many countries, but not the United States, have ratified and follow the liability regime adopted by the IMO and set out in the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage, 1969, as amended (or CLC). Under this convention, a vessel’s registered owner is strictly liable for pollution damage caused in the territorial waters of a contracting state by discharge of persistent oil (e.g., crude oil, fuel oil, heavy diesel oil or lubricating oil), subject to certain defenses. The right to limit liability to specified amounts that are periodically revised is forfeited under the CLC when the spill is caused by the owner’s actual fault or when the spill is caused by the owner’s intentional or reckless conduct. Vessels trading to contracting states must provide evidence of insurance covering the limited liability of the owner. In jurisdictions where the CLC has not been adopted, various legislative regimes or common law governs, and liability is imposed either on the basis of fault or in a manner similar to the CLC.
IMO regulations also include the International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (or SOLAS), including amendments to SOLAS implementing the International 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 (or DP) systems, which would apply to shuttle tankers and DP-assisted FSO units and FPSO units. SOLAS provides rules for the construction of and the equipment required for commercial vessels and includes regulations for their safe operation. Flag states which have ratified the convention and the treaty generally employ the classification societies, which have incorporated SOLAS requirements into their class rules, to undertake surveys to confirm compliance.
SOLAS and other IMO regulations concerning safety, including those relating to treaties on training of shipboard personnel, lifesaving appliances, radio equipment and the global maritime distress and safety system, are applicable to our operations. Non-compliance with IMO regulations, including SOLAS, the ISM Code, ISPS, the IGC Code for LNG and LPG carriers, and the specific requirements for shuttle tankers, FSO units and FPSO units under the NPD (Norway) and HSE (United Kingdom) regulations, may subject us to increased liability or penalties, may lead to decreases in available insurance coverage for affected vessels and may result in the denial of access to or detention in some ports. For example, the United States Coast Guard (or USCG) and European Union authorities have indicated that vessels not in compliance with the ISM Code will be prohibited from trading in United States 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 obtain for each newbuilding, a safety management certificate on delivery.
With regard to offshore support vessels, such as UMS, SOLAS permits certain exemptions and equivalents to be allowed by the relevant vessel’s flag state. The International Code on Intact Stability, 2008 also applies generally to offshore support vessels. In 2016, the IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee (or MSC) adopted amendments to the IS Code relating to ships engaged in anchor handling operations and to ships engaged in lifting and towing operations, including escort towing. These amendments entered into force on January 1, 2020. The IMO has also developed non-mandatory codes and guidelines which apply to various types or aspects of offshore support vessels.
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 compliant. Amendments to the IGC Code, aligning wheelhouse window fire-rating requirements with those in SOLAS chapter II-2, were adopted in 2016 and became effective on January 1, 2020.
Annex VI to the IMO’s International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (or MARPOL) (or Annex VI) sets limits on sulfur oxide (or SOx) and nitrogen oxide (or NOx) 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 “emission control areas” (or ECAs) to be established with more stringent controls on sulfur emissions. Annex VI provides for a three-tier reduction in NOx emissions from marine diesel engines, with the final tier (or Tier III) to apply to engines installed on vessels constructed on or after January 1, 2016, and which operate in the North American ECA or the U.S. Caribbean Sea ECA as well as ECAs designated in the future by the IMO. Tier 3 limits are 80% below Tier 1 and these cannot be achieved without additional means such as Selective Catalytic Reduction (or SCR). In October 2016, the IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (or MEPC) approved the designation of the North Sea (including the English Channel) and the Baltic Sea as ECAs for NOx emissions; these ECAs and the related amendments to Annex VI of MARPOL (with some exceptions) entered into effect on January 1, 2019. This requirement will be applicable for new ships constructed on or after January 1, 2021 if they visit the Baltic or North Sea (including the English Channel) and requires the future trading area of a ship to be assessed at the contract stage. There are exemption provisions to allow ships with only Tier II engines, to navigate in a NOx Tier III ECA if the ship is departing from a shipyard where the ship is newly built or visiting a shipyard for conversion/repair/maintenance without loading/unloading cargoes.
Effective January 1, 2020, Annex VI imposes a global limit for sulfur in fuel oil used on board ships of 0.50% m/m (mass by mass), regardless of whether a ship is operating outside a designated ECA. To comply with this new standard, ships may utilize different fuels containing low or zero sulfur (e.g., LNG, low sulfur heavy fuel oil (or LSHFO), low sulfur marine gas oil (or LSMGO), biofuels or other compliant fuels), or utilize exhaust gas cleaning systems, known as “scrubbers”. Amendments to the information to be included in bunker delivery notes relating to the supply of marine fuel oil to ships fitted with alternative mechanisms to address sulfur emission requirements (e.g., scrubbers) became effective January 1, 2019. We have taken and continue to take steps to comply with the 2020 sulfur limit. At present, we have not installed scrubbers on our existing fleet (nor do we have plans to) and we switched over to burning low sulfur fuel prior to the January 1, 2020, implementation date. At present, neither the IMO nor the International Organization for Standardization have implemented globally accepted quality standards for 0.50% m/m fuel oil. We intend, and where applicable, expect our charterers to procure 0.50% m/m fuel oil from top tier suppliers. However, until such time that a globally accepted quality standard is issued, the quality of 0.50% m/m fuel oil that is supplied to the entire industry (including in respect of our vessels) is inherently uncertain. Low quality or a lack of access to high quality low sulfur fuel may lead to a disruption in our operations (including mechanical damage to our vessels), which could impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As of March 1, 2018, amendments to Annex VI impose new requirements for ships of 5,000 gross tonnage and above to collect fuel oil consumption data for ships, as well as certain other data including proxies for transport work. Amendments to MARPOL Annex VI that makes the data collection system for fuel oil consumption of ships mandatory were adopted at the 70th session of the MEPC held in October 2016 and entered into force on March 1, 2018. The amendments require operators to update the vessels Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (or SEEMP) to include a part II describing the ship specific methodology that will be used for collecting and measuring data for fuel oil consumption, distance travelled, hours underway, ensuring data quality is maintained and the processes that will be used to report the data to the Administration. This has been verified as compliant on all ships prior to December 31, 2018, and the data collection period for the 2019 calendar year has been completed. A Confirmation of Compliance has been provided by the Ship's Flag State Administration / Recognized Organization on behalf of Flag State and is kept on board.

IMO regulations required that as of January 1, 2015, all vessels operating within ECAs worldwide recognized under MARPOL Annex VI must comply with 0.1% sulfur requirements. Certain modifications were necessary 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 EU Directive. In addition, LSMGO is more expensive than HFO and this impacts the costs of operations. 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.
The IMO has issued guidance regarding protecting against acts of piracy off the coast of Somalia. We comply with these guidelines.
IMO Guidance for countering acts of piracy and armed robbery is published by the IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee (or MSC). MSC.1/Circ.1339 (Piracy and armed robbery against ships in waters off the coast of Somalia) outlines Best Management Practices for protection against Somalia based Piracy. Specifically, MSC.1/Circ.1339 provides guidance to shipowners and ship operators, shipmasters and crews on preventing and suppressing acts of piracy and armed robbery and was adopted by the IMO through Resolution MSC.324(89). The Best Management Practices (or BMP) is a joint industry publication by BIMCO, ICS, IGP&I Clubs, INTERTANKO and OCIMF with Version 5 as the latest. Our fleet follows the guidance within BMP 5 when transiting in other regions with recognized threat levels for piracy and armed robbery, including West Africa.

The IMO's Ballast Water Management Convention entered into force on September 8, 2017. The convention stipulates two standards for discharged ballast water. The D-1 standard covers ballast water exchange while the D-2 standard covers ballast water treatment. The convention requires the implementation of either the D-1 or D-2 standard. There will be a transitional period from the entry into force to the International Oil Pollution Prevention (or IOPP) renewal survey in which ballast water exchange (reg. D-1) can be employed. The IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (or MEPC), made a decision at the 71st meeting held in July 2017 to extend the implementation date for the D-2 standard to September 8, 2019. All ships constructed before September 8, 2017 will have to install a BWMS at their first renewal survey associated with the IOPP Certificate under MARPOL Annex I after September 8, 2019. New ships constructed after September 8, 2017 will have to comply with Regulation D2 at the time of delivery. D1 requirements - approvals of BWMP and issuance of BWMC or SOC (Statement of Compliance) shall remain unaffected with this extension and all vessels will have to meet D1 requirements (Plan approvals) post September 8, 2017.
The MEPC agreed to a compromise on the implementation dates for the D-2 discharge standard: ships constructed on or after September 8, 2017 must comply with the D-2 standard upon delivery. Existing ships should be D-2 compliant on the first IOPP renewal following entry into force if the survey is completed on or after September 8, 2019, or a renewal IOPP survey was completed on or after September 8, 2014 but prior to September 8, 2017. Ships should be D-2 compliant on the second IOPP renewal survey after September 8, 2017 if the first renewal survey after that date was completed prior to September 8, 2019 and if the previous two conditions are not met. Vessels will be required to meet the discharge standard D-2 by installing an approved BWTS.
Besides the IMO convention, ships sailing in U.S. waters are required to employ a type-approved BWTS which is compliant with USCG regulations. The USCG has approved a number of BWTSs both nationally and internationally, out of which Alfa Laval (Sweden), Ocean Saver (Norway), Techcross, Erma First, De Nora and Sunrui (China) are under Teekay’s approved list for retrofit. We estimate that the installation of approved BWTS will cost between $2 million and $3 million per vessel.
MARPOL Annex I also states that oil residue may be discharged directly from the sludge tank to the shore reception facility through standard discharge connections. They may also be discharged to the incinerator or to an auxiliary boiler suitable for burning the oil by means of a dedicated discharge pump. Amendments to Annex I expand on the requirements for discharge connections and piping to ensure residues are properly disposed of. Annex I is applicable for existing vessels with a first renewal survey beginning on or after January 1, 2017.
Amendments to MARPOL Annex V were adopted at the 70th session of the MEPC held in October 2016 and entered into force on March 1, 2018. The changes include criteria for determining whether cargo residues are harmful to the marine environment and a new Garbage Record Book (or GRB) format with a new garbage category for e-waste. Solid bulk cargo as per regulation VI/1-1.2 of SOLAS, other than grain, shall now be classified as per the criteria in the new Appendix I of MARPOL Annex V, and the shipper shall then declare whether or not the cargo is harmful to the marine environment. A new form of the GRB has been included in Appendix II to MAROL Annex V. The GRB is now divided into two parts: Part I - for all garbage other than cargo residues, applicable to all ships. PART II - for cargo residues only applicable to ships carrying solid bulk cargo. These changes are reflected in the vessels latest revised GRB.
The IMO has also adopted an International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters (or Polar Code) which deals with matters regarding design, construction, equipment, operation, search and rescue and environmental protection in relation to ships operating in waters surrounding the two poles. The Polar Code includes both safety and environmental provisions. The Polar Code and related amendments entered into force in January 2017. The Polar Code is mandatory for new vessels built after January 1, 2017. For existing ships, this code will be applicable

37


from the first intermediate or renewal survey, whichever occurs first, beginning on or after January 1, 2018. All of our vessels trading in this area are fully compliant with the Polar Code.
MSC 91 adopted amendments to SOLAS Regulation II-2/10 to clarify that a minimum of two-way portable radiotelephone apparatus for each fire party for firefighters' communication shall be carried on board. These radio devices shall be of explosion proof type or intrinsically safe type. All existing ships built before July 1, 2014 should comply with this requirement by the first safety equipment survey after July 1, 2018. All new vessels constructed (keel laid) on or after July 1, 2014 must comply with this requirement at the time of delivery. Amendments to SOLAS Regulation II-1/3/-12 on protection against noise, Regulation II-2/1 and II 2/10 on firefighting came into force on July 1, 2014. Existing ships built before July 1, 2014 were required to comply by July 1, 2019.
As per MSC. 338(91), requirements have been highlighted for audio and visual indicators for breathing apparatus which will alert the user before the volume of the air in the cylinder has been reduced to no less than 200 liters. This applies to ships constructed on or after July 1, 2014. Ships constructed before July 1, 2014 were required to comply no later than July 1, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, all of our vessels are in compliance with these requirements.
Cyber-related risks are operational risks that are appropriately assessed and managed in accordance with the safety management requirements of the ISM Code. Cyber risks are required to be appropriately addressed in our safety management system no later than the first annual verification of the company's Document of Compliance after January 1, 2021.
The IMO continues to review and introduce new regulations; as such, it is impossible to predict what additional requirements, if any, may be adopted by the IMO and what effect, if any, such regulations might have on our operations.

European Union (or EU)

The EU has adopted legislation 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 minimum percentages of vessels using these ports annually; provides for increased surveillance of vessels posing a high risk to maritime safety or the marine environment; and provides the EU with greater authority and control over classification societies, including the ability to seek to suspend or revoke the authority of negligent societies.

Two regulations, that are part of the implementation of the Port State Control Directive, came into force on January 1, 2011 and introduced 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 by a particular shipping company. Those shipping companies that have the most positive safety records are rewarded by subjecting them to fewer inspections, while 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 their flag. This relates to discharges of oil or other noxious substances from vessels. Minor discharges shall not automatically be considered as offenses, except where repetition leads to deterioration in the quality of the water. The persons responsible may be subject to criminal penalties if 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 adopted a Directive requiring the use of low sulfur fuel. Since January 1, 2015, vessels have been 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 similar regulations.
All ships above 5,000 gross tonnage calling EU waters are required to comply with EU-MRV regulations. These regulations came into force on July 1, 2015 and aim to reduce green house gas (or GHG) emissions within the EU. It requires ships carrying out maritime transport activities to or from European Economic Area (or EEA) ports to monitor and report information including verified data on their CO2 emissions from January 1, 2018. Data collection takes place on a per voyage basis and started from January 1, 2018. The reported CO2 emissions, together with additional data (e.g. cargo, energy efficiency parameters), are to be verified by independent verifiers and sent to a central database, managed by the European Maritime Safety Agency (or EMSA). Teekay Corporation signed an agreement with DNV-GL for monitoring, verification & reporting as required by this regulation. We are presently using IMOS/Veslink forms which will have smooth interface with the DNV server. The first reporting period for the 2018 calendar year has been completed and emission reports for the vessels which have carried out EU voyages have been submitted in the THETIS Database. Based on emission reports submitted in THETIS, a document of compliance has been issued and is placed on board.

The EU Regulation on Ship Recycling entered into force on December 30, 2013. This regulation aims to prevent, reduce and minimize accidents, injuries and other negative effects on human health and the environment when ships are recycled and the hazardous waste they contain is removed. The legislation applies to all ships flying the flag of an EU country and to vessels with non-EU flags that call at an EU port or anchorage. It sets out responsibilities for ship owners and for recycling facilities both in the EU and in other countries. Each new ship has to have on board an inventory of the hazardous materials (such as asbestos, lead or mercury) it contains in either its structure or equipment. The use of certain hazardous materials is forbidden. Before a ship is recycled, its owner must provide the company carrying out the work with specific information about the vessel and prepare a ship recycling plan. Recycling may only take place at facilities listed on the EU ‘List of facilities’. In 2014, the Council Decision 2014/241/EU authorized EU countries having ships flying their flag or registered under their flag to ratify or to accede to the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships. The Hong Kong Convention is not yet ratified. Compliance timelines are as follows: EU-flagged newbuildings were required to have onboard a verified Inventory of Hazardous Materials (or IHM) with a Statement of Compliance at the latest by December 31, 2018, existing EU-flagged vessels are required to have onboard a verified IHM with a Statement of Compliance at the latest by December 31, 2020, non-EU-flagged vessels calling at EU ports are also required to have onboard a verified IHM with a Statement of Compliance latest by December 31, 2020. The EU Commission also adopted a European List of approved ship recycling facilities, as well as four further implementing decisions dealing with certification and other administrative requirements set out in the EU Ship Recycling Regulation.
North Sea
Our FPSO units primarily operate in the North Sea.
There is no international regime in force which deals with compensation for oil pollution from offshore craft, such as FPSOs. Whether the CLC and the International Convention on the Establishment of an International Fund for Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage 1971, as amended by the 1992 Protocol (or the Fund Convention), which deal with liability and compensation for oil pollution and the Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims 1976, as amended by the 1996 Protocol (or the 1976 Limitation of Liability Convention), which deals with limitation of liability for maritime claims, apply to FPSOs is neither straightforward nor certain. This is due to the definition of “ship” under these conventions and the requirement that oil is “carried” on board the relevant vessel. Nevertheless, the wording of the 1992 Protocol to the CLC leaves room for arguing that FPSOs and oil pollution caused by them can come under the ambit of these conventions for the purposes of liability and compensation. However, the application of these conventions also depends on their implementation by the relevant domestic laws of the countries which are parties to them.
UK’s Merchant Shipping Act 1995, as amended (or MSA), implements the CLC but uses a wider definition of a “ship” than the one used in the CLC and in its 1992 Protocol but still refers to the criteria used by the CLC. It is therefore doubtful that FPSOs fall within its wording. However, the MSA also includes separate provisions for liability for oil pollution. These apply to vessels which fall within a much wider definition and include non-seagoing vessels. It is arguable that the wording of these MSA provisions is wide enough to cover oil pollution caused by offshore crafts such as FPSOs. The liability regime under these MSA provisions is similar to that imposed under the CLC but limitation of liability is subject to the 1976 Limitation of Liability Convention regime (as implemented in the MSA).
With regard to the 1976 Limitation of Liability Convention, it is, again, doubtful whether it applies to FPSOs, as it contains certain exceptions in relation to vessels constructed for or adapted to and engaged in drilling and in relation to floating platforms constructed for the purpose of exploring or exploiting natural resources of the seabed or its subsoil. However, these exceptions are not included in the legislation implementing the 1976 Limitation of Liability Convention in the UK, which is also to be found in the MSA. In addition, the MSA sets out a very wide definition of “ship” in relation to which the 1976 Limitation of Liability Convention is to apply and there is room for argument that if FPSOs fall within that definition of “ship”, they are subject in the UK to the limitation provisions of the 1976 Limitation of Liability Convention.
In the absence of an international regime regulating liability and compensation for oil pollution caused by offshore oil and gas facilities, the Offshore Pollution Liability Agreement 1974 was entered into by a number of oil companies and became effective in 1975. This is a voluntary industry oil pollution compensation scheme which is funded by the parties to it. These are operators or intending operators of offshore facilities used in the exploration for and production of oil and gas located within the jurisdictions of a number of “Designated States” which include the UK, Denmark, Norway, Germany, France, Greenland, Ireland, the Netherlands, the Isle of Man and the Faroe Islands. The scheme provides for strict liability of the relevant operator for pollution damage and remedial costs, subject to a limit, and the operators must provide evidence of financial responsibility in the form of insurance or other security to meet the liability under the scheme.
With regard to FPSOs, Chapter 7 of Annex I of MARPOL (which contains regulations for the prevention of oil pollution) sets out special requirements for fixed and floating platforms, including, amongst others, FPSOs and FSUs. The IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee has issued guidelines for the application of MARPOL Annex I requirements to FPSOs and FSUs.
The EU’s Directive 2004/35/CE on environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage (or the Environmental Liability Directive) deals with liability for environmental damage on the basis of the “polluter pays” principle. Environmental damage includes damage to protected species and natural habitats and damage to water and land. Under this Directive, operators whose activities caused the environmental damage or the imminent threat of such damage are to be held liable for the damage (subject to certain exceptions). With regard to environmental damage caused by specific activities listed in the Directive, operators are strictly liable. This is without prejudice to their right to limit their liability in accordance with national legislation implementing the 1976 Limitation of Liability Convention. The Directive applies both to damage which has already occurred and where there is an imminent threat of damage. It also requires the relevant operator to take preventive action, to report an imminent threat and any environmental damage to the regulators and to perform remedial measures, such as clean-up. The Environmental Liability Directive is implemented in the UK by the Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) Regulations 2015.

In June 2013, the EU adopted Directive 2013/30/EU on safety of offshore oil and gas operations and amending Directive 2004/35/EC (or the Offshore Safety Directive). This Directive lays down minimum requirements for member states and the European Maritime Safety Agency for the purposes of reducing the occurrence of major accidents related to offshore oil and gas operations, thus increasing protection of the marine environment and coastal economies against pollution, establishing minimum conditions for safe offshore exploration and exploitation of oil and gas, and limiting disruptions to the EU’s energy production and improving responses to accidents. The Offshore Safety Directive sets out extensive requirements, such as preparation of a major hazard report with risk assessment, emergency response plan and safety and environmental management system applicable to the relevant oil and gas installation before the planned commencement of the operations, independent verification of safety and environmental critical elements identified in the risk assessment for the relevant oil and gas installation, and ensuring that factors such as the applicant’s safety and environmental performance and its financial capabilities or security to meet potential liabilities arising from the oil and gas operations are taken into account when considering granting a license.
Under the Offshore Safety Directive, Member States are to ensure that the relevant licensee is financially liable for the prevention and remediation of environmental damage (as defined in the Environmental Liability Directive) caused by offshore oil and gas operations carried out by or on behalf of the licensee or the operator. Member States must lay down rules on penalties applicable to infringements of the legislation adopted pursuant to this Directive. Member States were required to bring into force laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by July 19, 2015. The Offshore Safety Directive has been implemented in the UK by a number of different UK Regulations, including the Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) (England) Regulations 2015, as amended, (which revoked and replaced the Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) Regulations 2015)) and the Offshore Installations (Offshore Safety Directive) (Safety Case etc.) Regulations 2015, as amended, both of which entered into force on July 19, 2015.
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.
United States

The United States has enacted an extensive regulatory and liability regime for the protection and clean-up 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 liabilities upon the owners, operators or bareboat charterers of vessels for clean-up 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 clean-up costs and other damages arising from discharges or threatened discharges of oil from their vessels. These other damages are defined broadly to include: natural resources damages and the related assessment costs; real and personal property damages; net loss of taxes, royalties, rents, fees and other lost revenues; lost profits or impairment of earning capacity due to property or natural resources damage; net cost of public services necessitated by a spill response, such as protection from fire, safety or health hazards; and loss of subsistence use of natural resources.
OPA 90 limits the liability of responsible parties in an amount it periodically updates. The liability limits do not apply if the incident was proximately caused by violation of applicable U.S. federal safety, construction or operating regulations, including IMO conventions to which the United States is a signatory, or by the responsible party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or if the responsible party fails or refuses to report the incident or to cooperate and assist in connection with the oil removal activities. Liability under CERCLA is also subject to limits unless the incident is caused by gross negligence, willful misconduct or a violation of certain regulations. We currently maintain for each of our vessels 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 USCG evidence of financial responsibility in an amount at least equal to the relevant limitation amount for such vessels under the statute. The USCG 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 USCG. Under the self-insurance provisions, the ship owners or operators 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 USCG

40


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 liability for spills. Several coastal states, such as California, Washington and Alaska require state-specific evidence of financial responsibility and vessel response plans. We 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 USCG, and their tankers are required to operate in compliance with USCG 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.
All our vessels have USCG approved vessel response plans. In addition, we conduct regular oil spill response drills in accordance with the guidelines set out in OPA 90. The USCG has announced it intends to propose similar regulations requiring certain vessels to prepare response plans for the release of hazardous substances. Similarly, we also have California Vessel Contingency Plans (CAVCP) on board vessels which are likely to call ports in State of California.
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 (or the 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” (or VGP) and comply with a range of effluent limitations, best management practices, reporting, inspections and other requirements. The Vessel General Permit incorporated USCG requirements for ballast water exchange and includes specific technology-based requirements for vessels, and includes an implementation schedule to require vessels to meet the ballast water effluent limitations by the first dry docking after January 1, 2016, depending on the vessel size. The Vessel Incidental Discharge Act (or VIDA) was signed into law on December 4, 2018 and establishes a new framework for the regulation of vessel incidental discharges under the CWA. VIDA requires the EPA to develop performance standards for approximately 30 discharges by December 2020 (similar to the discharges in the EPA 2013 VGP). In most cases, the future standards will be at least as stringent as the existing EPA 2013 VGP requirements and will be technology based. Two years thereafter, the U.S. Coast Guard (or USCG) is required to develop corresponding implementation, compliance and enforcement regulations. These may include requirements governing the design, construction, testing, approval, installation and use of devices to achieve the EPA national standards of performance (or NSPs). Under VIDA, all provisions of the VGP remain in force and effect as currently written until the USCG regulations are finalized. Vessels that are constructed after December 1, 2013 are subject to the ballast water numeric effluent limitations. Several U.S. states have added specific requirements to the Vessel General Permit and, in some cases, may require vessels to install ballast water treatment technology to meet biological performance standards. Every five years the Vessel General Permit gets reissued, however the provisions of the 2013 VGP, as currently written, will apply beyond 2018, until the EPA publishes new NSPs and the USCG develops implementing regulations for those NSPs which could take up to four years.
Since January 1, 2014, the California Air Resources Board has required that vessels that burn fuel within 24 nautical miles of California burn fuel with 0.1% sulfur content or less.
 
China

China previously established ECAs in Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and Bohai Sea which took effect on January 1, 2016. The Hainan ECA took effect on January 1, 2019. From January 1, 2019, all the ECAs have merged and the scope of domestic emission controls areas (or DECAs) were extended to 12 nautical miles from the coastline, covering the Chinese mainland territorial coastal areas as well as the Hainan Island territorial coastal waters. From January 1, 2019, all vessels navigating within the Chinese mainland territorial coastal DECAs and at berths are required to use marine fuel with Sulfur content of maximum 0.50% m/m. As per the new regulation, ships can also use alternative methods such as an Exhaust Gas Scrubber, LNG or other clean fuel that reduces the SOx to the same level or lower than the maximum required limits of Sulfur when using fossil fuel in the DECA areas or when at berth. All the vessels without an exhaust gas cleaning system entering the emission control area are only permitted to carry and use the compliant fuel oil specified by the new regulation.
From July 1, 2019, vessels engaged on international voyages (except tankers) that are equipped to connect to shore power must use shore power if they berth for more than three hours (or for more than two hours for inland river control area) in berths with shore supply capacity in the coastal control areas.

Greenhouse Gas Regulation
In February 2005, the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (or the Kyoto Protocol) took effect. Pursuant to the Kyoto Protocol, adopting countries are required to implement national programs to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. In December 2009, more than 27 nations, including the United States, entered into the Copenhagen Accord. The Copenhagen Accord is non-binding but is intended to pave the way for a comprehensive, international treaty on climate change. In December 2015, the Paris Agreement (or the Paris Agreement) was adopted by a large number of countries at the 21st Session of the Conference of Parties (commonly known as COP 21, a conference of the countries which are parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change; the COP is the highest decision-making authority of this organization). The Paris Agreement, which entered into force on November 4, 2016, deals with greenhouse gas emission reduction measures and targets from 2020 in order to limit the global temperature increases to well below 2˚ Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Although shipping was ultimately not included in the Paris Agreement, it is expected that the adoption of the Paris Agreement may lead to regulatory changes in relation to curbing greenhouse gas emissions from shipping.
In July 2011, the IMO adopted regulations imposing technical and operational measures for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. These new regulations formed a new chapter in Annex VI and became effective on January 1, 2013. The new technical and operational measures include the “Energy Efficiency Design Index” (or the EEDI), which is mandatory for newbuilding vessels, and the “Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan,” which is mandatory for all vessels. In October 2016, the IMO’s MEPC adopted updated guidelines for the calculation of the EEDI. In October 2014, the IMO’s MEPC agreed in principle to develop a system of data collection regarding fuel consumption of ships. In October 2016, the IMO adopted a mandatory data collection system under which vessels of 5,000 gross tonnages and above are to collect fuel consumption and other data and to report the aggregated data so collected to their flag state at the end of each calendar year. The new requirements entered into force on March 1, 2018.
All vessels are required to submit fuel consumption data to their respective administration/registered organizations for onward submission to the IMO for analysis and to help with decision making on future measures. The amendments require operators to update the vessels Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) to include a part II describing the ship specific methodology that will be used for collecting and measuring data for fuel oil consumption, distance travelled, hours underway and processes that will be used to report the data to the Administration, in order to ensure data quality is maintained.
The vessels were verified as compliant before December 31, 2018, with the first data collection period being for the 2019 calendar year. A Confirmation of Compliance was issued by the administration/registered organization, which must be kept on board the ship. The IMO also approved a roadmap for the development of a comprehensive IMO strategy on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from ships with an initial strategy adopted on April 13, 2018 and a revised strategy to be adopted in 2023.
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. The EU has adopted Regulation (EU) 2015/757 on the monitoring, reporting and verification (or MRV) of CO2 emissions from vessels (or the MRV Regulation), which entered into force on July 1, 2015. The MRV Regulation aims to quantify and reduce CO2 emissions from shipping. It lists the requirements on the MRV of carbon dioxide emissions and requires ship owners and operators to annually monitor, report and verify CO2 emissions for vessels larger than 5,000 gross tonnage calling at any EU and EFTA (Norway and Iceland) port (with a few exceptions, such as fish-catching or fish-processing vessels). Data collection takes place on a per voyage basis and started January 1, 2018. The reported CO2 emissions, together with additional data, such as cargo and energy efficiency parameters, are to be verified by independent verifiers and sent to a central inspection database hosted by the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) to collate all the data applicable to the EU region. Companies responsible for the operation of large ships using EU ports are required to report their CO2 emissions. While the EU was considering a proposal for the inclusion of shipping in the EU Emissions Trading System as from 2021 (in the absence of a comparable system operating under the IMO), it appears that the decision to include shipping may be deferred until 2023.
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.
Many financial institutions that lend to the maritime industry have adopted the Poseidon Principles establish a framework for assessing and disclosing the climate alignment of ship finance portfolios. The Poseidon Principles set a benchmark for the banks who fund for the maritime sector, which is based on IMO GHG strategy. IMO approved an initial GHG strategy in April 2018 to reduce GHG emissions generated from shipping activity, which represents a significant shift in climate ambition for a sector that currently accounts for 2%-3% of global carbon dioxide emissions. As a result, Poseidon Principles are expected to enable financial institutions to align their ship finance portfolios with responsible environmental behavior and incentivize international shipping's decarbonization.

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). Procedures are in place to inform the relevant reporting regimes such as Maritime Security Council Horn of Africa (or MSCHOA), the Maritime Domain Awareness for Trade - Gulf of Guinea (or MDAT-GoG), the Information Fusion Center (or IFC) whenever our vessels are calling in the Indian Ocean Region, or West Coast of Africa (or WAF) or Southeast Asia high-risk areas respectively. In order to mitigate the security risk, security arrangements are required for vessels which travel through these high-risk areas.

Organizational Structure
Our organizational structure includes, among others, our interests in Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers, which are our publicly-traded subsidiaries.

The following chart provides an overview of our organizational structure as at March 1, 2020. Please read Exhibit 8.1 to this Annual Report for a list of our subsidiaries as at March 1, 2020.

ITEM4ORGSTRUCTUREUPDATED.JPG
(1)
Teekay LNG is controlled by its general partner. Teekay Corporation indirectly owns a 100% beneficial ownership in the general partner. However, in certain limited cases, approval of a majority of the unitholders of Teekay LNG is required to approve certain actions.
(2)
Teekay Tankers has two classes of shares: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Teekay Corporation indirectly owns 100% of the Class B shares which have up to five votes each but aggregate voting power capped at 49%. As a result of Teekay Corporation’s ownership of Class A and Class B shares, it holds aggregate voting power of 54.0% as of March 1, 2020.
(3)
We are entitled to distributions on our general and limited partner interests in Teekay LNG. The general partner of 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.

Teekay LNG is a Marshall Islands limited partnership formed by us in 2004 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, primarily under long-term, fixed-rate contracts with major energy and utility companies. As of December 31, 2019, Teekay LNG’s fleet, including its equity investees, included 49 LNG carriers and 30 LPG/multigas carriers. Teekay LNG’s ownership interests in these vessels range from 20% to 100%. Teekay LNG also has a 30% interest in an LNG receiving and regasification terminal in Bahrain.

In December 2007, we added Teekay Tankers to our structure. Teekay Tankers is a Marshall Islands corporation formed by us to own our conventional tanker business. As of December 31, 2019, Teekay Tankers’ fleet included 21 double-hull Aframax tankers (including four chartered-in vessel), 29 double-hull Suezmax tankers, nine product tankers, and one VLCC, 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 and the in-chartered vessels. Prior to October 1, 2018, we provided Teekay Tankers with certain commercial, technical, administrative, and strategic services under a long-term management agreement through a wholly-owned subsidiary. As of October 1, 2018, Teekay Tankers elected to receive commercial and technical management services directly from its wholly-owned subsidiaries, who receive various services from us and our affiliates.

We entered into an omnibus agreement with Teekay LNG, Altera and related parties governing, among other things, when we, Teekay LNG, and Altera may compete with each other and certain rights of first offer on LNG carriers, oil tankers, shuttle tankers, FSO units and FPSO units.

Teekay Parent owns three FPSO units, in addition to its interests in its subsidiaries. For additional information about Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers please read "Item 4B – Information on the Company – Operations".

Property, Plant and Equipment
Other than our vessels, and Teekay LNG’s 30% interest, through the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture, in an LNG receiving and regasification terminal, we do not have any material property. Please read “Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 9 – Long-Term Debt for information about major encumbrances against our vessels.

Taxation of the Company
United States Taxation
The following is a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to us. This discussion is based upon provisions of 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 income from time charters, contracts of affreightment, bareboat charters, and voyage charters.
Fifty percent (50%) of Transportation Income that either begins or ends, but that does not both begin and end, in the United States (or U.S. Source International Transportation Income) is considered to be derived from sources within the United States. Transportation Income that both begins and ends in the United States (or U.S. Source Domestic Transportation Income) is considered to be 100% derived from sources within the United States. Transportation Income exclusively between non-U.S. destinations is considered to be 100% derived from sources outside the United States. Transportation Income derived from sources outside the United States generally is not subject to U.S. federal income tax.

Based on our current operations, and the operations of our subsidiaries, a substantial portion of our Transportation Income is from sources outside the United States and not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Unless the exemption from U.S. taxation under Section 883 of the Code (or the Section 883 Exemption) applies, our U.S. Source International Transportation Income generally is subject to U.S. federal income taxation under either the net basis and branch profits taxes or the 4% gross basis tax, each of which is discussed below. Furthermore, certain of our subsidiaries engaged in activities which could give rise to U.S. Source International Transportation Income rely on our ability to claim 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 the 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 (i) is organized in a jurisdiction outside the United States that grants an exemption from tax to U.S. corporations on international Transportation Income (or an Equivalent Exemption), (ii) meets one of three ownership tests (or Ownership Tests) described in the Section 883 Regulations, and (iii) 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, our share of any such income earned by our subsidiaries that have properly elected to be treated as partnerships or disregarded as entities separate from us for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will be exempt from U.S. federal income taxation provided we satisfy one of the Ownership Tests. We believe that we should satisfy one of the Ownership Tests 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.

Net Basis Tax and Branch Profits Tax. If the Section 883 Exemption does not apply, our U.S. Source International Transportation 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 will result in such income being treated as Effectively Connected Income. U.S. Source Domestic Transportation Income generally will be treated as Effectively Connected Income.

45



Any income we earn that is treated as Effectively Connected Income would be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax (the current statutory rate is 21%) and a 30% branch profits tax imposed under Section 884 of the Code. In addition, 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 generally would be subject to the net basis and branch profits taxes with respect to our gain recognized up to the amount of certain prior deductions for depreciation that reduced Effectively Connected Income. Otherwise, we would not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to gain realized on the sale of a vessel, provided the sale is considered to occur outside of the United States under U.S. federal income tax principles.

The 4% Gross Basis Tax. If the Section 883 Exemption does not apply and we are not subject to the net basis and branch profits taxes described above, we will be subject to a 4% U.S. federal income tax on our subsidiaries’ gross U.S. Source International Transportation Income, without benefit of deductions. For 2019, 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 have been approximately $8.9 million. In addition, we estimate that certain of our subsidiaries that are unable to claim the Section 883 Exemption were subject to approximately $2.1 million in U.S. federal income tax on the U.S. source portion of their U.S. Source International Transportation Income for 2019. If the Section 883 Exemption does not apply, the amount of such tax for which we or our subsidiaries may be liable 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, nor that distributions by our subsidiaries to us will be subject to any taxes under the laws of the Marshall Islands, other than taxes, fines, or fees due to (i) the incorporation, dissolution, continued existence, merger, domestication (or similar concepts) of legal entities registered in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, (ii) filing certificates (such as certificates of incumbency, merger, or re-domiciliation) with the Marshall Islands registrar, (iii) obtaining certificates of good standing from, or certified copies of documents filed with, the Marshall Islands registrar, (iv) compliance with Marshall Islands law concerning vessel ownership, such as tonnage tax, or (v) non-compliance with economic substance regulations or with requests made by the Marshall Islands registrar of corporations relating to our books and records and the books and records of our subsidiaries.
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. In other non-U.S. jurisdictions, we rely on statutory exemptions from tax. However, we cannot assure that any statutory exemptions from tax on which we rely will continue as tax laws in those jurisdictions may change, or we may enter into new business transactions relating to such jurisdictions, which could affect our tax liability.

Operating and Financial Review and Prospects
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition, refer to Item 5 in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018 for our discussion and analysis comparing financial condition and results of operations from 2018 to 2017.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Teekay Corporation is an operational leader and project developer in the marine midstream space. Teekay provides a comprehensive set of marine services to the world's leading oil and gas companies. We have a 100% general partnership interest in one publicly-listed master limited partnership, Teekay LNG, and a controlling interest in publicly-listed Teekay Tankers, and we directly own three floating production storage and offloading (or FPSO) units. In May 2019, we sold our remaining interests in Altera Infrastructure L.P. (or Altera), which was a publicly-listed master limited partnership until February 3, 2020, and previously known as Teekay Offshore Partners L.P..

Structure

To understand our financial condition and results of operations, a general understanding of our organizational structure is required. Our organizational structure can be divided into (a) our controlling interests in two publicly-traded subsidiaries, Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers (together, the Daughter Entities), and (b) Teekay and its remaining subsidiaries, which is referred to herein as Teekay Parent. Since we control the voting interests of the Daughter Entities through our ownership of the sole general partner interest of Teekay LNG and of Class A and Class B common shares of Teekay Tankers, we consolidate the results of these subsidiaries.

46



On September 25, 2017, Teekay, Altera and Brookfield Business Partners L.P., together with its institutional partners (collectively, Brookfield) completed a strategic partnership (or the 2017 Brookfield Transaction) which resulted in the deconsolidation of Altera as of that date. Although Teekay owned less than 50% of Altera, Teekay maintained control of Altera until September 25, 2017, by virtue of its 100% ownership interest in the general partner of Altera, Altera Infrastructure GP L.L.C. (or Altera GP). In connection with Brookfield's acquisition of a 49% interest in Altera GP as part of the 2017 Brookfield Transaction, Teekay and Brookfield entered into an amended limited liability company agreement whereby Brookfield obtained certain participatory rights in the management of Altera GP, which resulted in Teekay deconsolidating Altera for accounting purposes on September 25, 2017. In July 2018, Brookfield exercised its option to acquire an additional 2% of ownership interests in Altera GP from Teekay. Subsequent to the closing of the 2017 Brookfield Transaction, Teekay maintained significant influence over Altera and accounted for its investment in Altera using the equity method until May 2019. In May 2019, we sold our remaining interest in Altera to Brookfield (or the 2019 Brookfield Transaction), which included our 49% general partner interest, common units, warrants, and an outstanding $25 million loan from us to Altera.

As of December 31, 2019, we had economic interests in Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers of 33.9% and 28.7%, respectively. Please read “Item 4C – Information on the Company – Organizational Structure.”

Teekay LNG primarily holds assets that generate long-term fixed-rate cash flows. The strategic rationale for establishing this master limited partnership was to illuminate the higher value of fixed-rate cash flows to Teekay investors, realize advantages of a lower cost of equity when investing in new liquefied natural gas (or LNG) projects, enhance returns to Teekay through fee-based revenue and ownership of the partnership's incentive distribution rights and increase our access to capital for growth. Teekay Tankers holds all of our conventional tanker assets. In addition to Teekay Parent’s investments in Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers, Teekay Parent continues to own three FPSO units.

Our long-term vision is for Teekay Parent to be primarily a portfolio manager and project developer with the Teekay Group’s fixed assets primarily owned by the Daughter Entities. Our primary financial objectives for Teekay Parent are to increase the value of the contracts for our three FPSO units and the value of our investments in Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers, increase Teekay Parent’s free cash flow per share and, as a service provider to its Daughter Entities, provide scale and other benefits across the Teekay Group.

Teekay previously entered into an omnibus agreement with Teekay LNG, Altera and related parties governing, among other things, when Teekay, Teekay LNG, and Altera may compete with each other and certain rights of first offer on LNG carriers, oil tankers, shuttle tankers, floating storage and offtake (or FSO) units and FPSO units. The 2017 Brookfield Transaction constituted a change in control of Altera, which gave Altera the right to elect to terminate the omnibus agreement, although we have not received any indication from Altera that it intends to do so.

We have three primary lines of business: liquefied gas carriers, conventional tankers and offshore production (FPSO units). We manage these businesses for the benefit of all stakeholders. We allocate capital and assess performance from the separate perspectives of Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers, and Teekay Parent, as well as from the perspective of the lines of business (the Line of Business approach). The primary focus of our organizational structure, internal reporting and allocation of resources by the chief operating decision maker, is on Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers, and Teekay Parent (the Legal Entity approach). As a result, a substantial majority of the information provided in this Annual Report is presented in accordance with the Legal Entity approach. However, we have continued to incorporate the Line of Business approach in our financial reporting because in certain cases there is more than one line of business in each of Teekay LNG, Teekay Tankers and Teekay Parent, and we believe this information allows a better understanding of our performance and prospects for future net cash flows. We presented our investment in Altera as a separate operating segment until its sale to Brookfield in May 2019.
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, time charters accounted for under operating, direct financing and sales-type leases, and FPSO contracts. Revenues are affected by hire rates and the number of days a vessel operates, the daily production volume on FPSO units, and the oil price for certain FPSO units. Revenues are also affected by the mix of business between time charters and voyage charters and to a lesser extent whether our vessels are subject to an RSA. 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 fuel expenses, port fees, cargo loading and unloading expenses, canal tolls, agency fees and commissions. Voyage expenses are typically paid by the customer under time charters and FPSO contracts and by us under voyage charters.

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. We are taking steps to maintain these expenses at a stable level but expect an increase in line with inflation in respect of crew, material, and maintenance costs. The strengthening or weakening of the U.S. Dollar relative to foreign currencies may result in significant decreases or increases, respectively, in our vessel operating expenses, depending on the currencies in which such expenses are incurred.


47


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 with 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 cycle. 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 time charters 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 in terms of “time-charter equivalent” (or TCE) rates, which represent revenues less voyage expenses 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 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.
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 conventional tanker market.

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 conventional tankers 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 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is dynamic and expanding. The continuation of this outbreak likely will have, and the emergence of other epidemic or pandemic crises could have, material adverse effects on our business, results of operations, or financial condition. The novel coronavirus pandemic is dynamic and expanding, and its ultimate scope, duration and effects are uncertain. We expect that this pandemic likely will result in direct and indirect adverse effects on our industry and on our business, results of operations and financial condition. COVID-19 is anticipated to result in a significant decline in global demand for crude oil, refined petroleum products, LNG and LPG. Apart from a minority interest Teekay LNG has in an LNG receiving and regasification terminal, a majority of our business involves the transportation of crude oil, refined petroleum products, LNG and LPG on behalf of our customers, any significant decrease in demand for the cargo we transport could adversely affect demand for our vessels and services. At this stage, it is extremely difficult to determine the full impact of COVID-19 on our business. Effects of the current pandemic may include, among others: deterioration of worldwide, regional or national economic conditions and activity and of demand for oil, refined petroleum products, LNG and LPG; operational disruptions to us or our customers due to worker health risks and the effects of new regulations, directives or practices implemented in response to the pandemic (such as travel restrictions for individuals and vessels and quarantining and physical distancing); potential delays in (a) the loading and discharging of cargo on or from our vessels, (b) vessel inspections and related certifications by class societies, customers or government agencies and (c) maintenance, modifications or repairs to, or drydocking of, our existing vessels due to worker health or other business disruptions; reduced cash flow and financial condition, including potential

liquidity constraints; potential reduced access to capital as a result of any credit tightening generally or due to continued declines in global financial markets; potential reduced ability to opportunistically sell any of our vessels on the second-hand market, either as a result of a lack of buyers or a general decline in the value of second-hand vessels; potential decreases in the market values of our vessels and any related impairment charges or breaches relating to vessel-to-loan financial covenants; potential disruptions, delays or cancellations in the construction of new LNG projects (including production, liquefaction, regasification, storage and distribution facilities), which could reduce our future growth opportunities; and potential deterioration in the financial condition and prospects of our customers, joint venture partners or other business partners. Although disruption and effects from the novel coronavirus pandemic may be temporary, given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, the duration of business disruption and the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but could materially affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Please read "Item 3 - Risk Factors" for more details about potential effects of the coronavirus on our business.

The size of and types of vessels in 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, as well as our entry into new markets. 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. In 2019, we completed our LNG fleet expansion program with the building of 21 new vessels over a three-year period. This required significant investment in recruiting and training related sea- staff for the vessels. While we are always subject to commodity price and inflationary pressures for vessel operating expenses, we have been able to maintain our vessel operating expenses at or near inflationary levels for several years. We expect this to continue in the near term. However, regulatory compliance has increased cost pressures on operators in recent years, which may lead to increased operational expenses in the future.  
    
Our net income is affected by fluctuations in the fair value of our derivative instruments. Most of our existing cross currency and interest rate swap agreements and foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Although we believe the non-designated derivative instruments are economic hedges, the changes in their fair value are included in our consolidated statements of loss as unrealized gains or losses on non-designated derivatives. The unrealized 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 2019 and 2018, on a consolidated basis, we incurred 886 and 451 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”. Fourteen of our vessels are scheduled for dry docking during 2020.

Our financial results are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Under GAAP, all foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities (including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, unearned revenue, advances from affiliates, and long-term debt) are revalued and reported based on the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the period. These foreign currency translations fluctuate based on the strength of the U.S. Dollar relative to the applicable foreign currency, mainly to the Euro and NOK, and are included in our results of operations. The translation of all foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities at each reporting date results in unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses but do not currently impact our cash flows.

The duration of some of our FPSO 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. FPSO contracts under which our FPSO units 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 cash flow and our ability to make cash distributions. FPSO units, in particular, 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. 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.

We do not control access to cash flow generated by our investments in equity-accounted joint ventures. We do not have control over the operations of, nor do we have any legal claim to the revenue and expenses of our investments in, our equity-accounted joint ventures. Consequently, the cash flow generated by our investments in equity-accounted joint ventures may not be available for use by us in the period that such cash flows are generated.

During 2019, Teekay Tankers' ship-to-ship transfer business provided operational and maintenance services to Teekay LNG Bahrain Operations L.L.C., an entity wholly-owned by Teekay LNG, for the LNG receiving and regasification terminal in Bahrain. Also during 2019, the Magellan Spirit LNG carrier was chartered by Teekay LNG to Teekay Parent for a short period of time. During 2018, Teekay Parent chartered in two LNG carriers from Teekay LNG until March and April 2018.

Summary

Teekay Corporation consolidated income from vessels operations increased to $204.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $164.3 million in the prior year. The primary reasons for this increase are as follows:

CHART.JPG

an increase in income from vessel operations in Teekay LNG of $150.7 million due to write-downs in 2018 of three conventional tankers and four multi-gas vessels, deliveries to Teekay LNG of the Magdala, Myrina, Megara, Bahrain Spirit, Sean Spirit and Yamal Spirit LNG carrier newbuildings between February 2018 and January 2019, the charter-in of the Magellan Spirit LNG carrier, higher contribution from the Torben Spirit LNG carrier and seven multi-gas carriers due to higher average charter rates earned in 2019, and lower general and administrative expenses due primarily to reductions in legal and other professional fees incurred, partially offset by more off-hire days in the fleet in 2019; and
an increase in income from vessel operations in Teekay Tankers of $116.7 million due to higher overall average realized TCE rates earned in the spot tanker market;
partially offset by
a decrease in income from vessel operations in Teekay Parent of $227.6 million due to write-downs in 2019 of our FPSO units of $178.3 million, lower contribution from Teekay Parent's three FPSO units as a result of planned maintenance shutdowns, lower production and lower oil prices, and the termination of contracts for managing drybulk entities, partially offset by a decrease in corporate expenses and by the redelivery of two in-chartered LNG carriers to Teekay LNG in 2018.

Details of the changes to our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to the year ended December 31, 2018 are provided in the following section.

Year Ended December 31, 2019 versus Year Ended December 31, 2018
Teekay LNG
As at December 31, 2019, Teekay LNG’s liquefied gas fleet consists of a controlling interest in 24 LNG carriers and seven LPG/multi-gas carriers. In addition, Teekay LNG also has interests of 20% to 52% in 25 LNG carriers, 23 LPG/multi-gas carriers and one LNG regasification terminal in Bahrain that are accounted for using the equity method.
Recent Developments in Teekay LNG
Two of the six LNG carriers (or MALT LNG Carriers) in Teekay LNG's 52%-owned joint venture with Marubeni Corporation (or the MALT Joint Venture), the Arwa Spirit and Marib Spirit, are under long-term contracts expiring in 2029 with Yemen LNG Company Limited (or YLNG), a consortium led by Total SA. Due to the political situation in Yemen, YLNG decided to temporarily close operation of its LNG plant in Yemen in 2015. As a result, commencing January 1, 2016, the MALT Joint Venture agreed to successive deferral arrangements with YLNG pursuant to which a portion of the charter payments were deferred. Concurrently with the expiration of the most recent deferral arrangement, in April 2019 the MALT Joint Venture entered into a suspension agreement with YLNG (or the Suspension Agreement) pursuant to which the MALT Joint Venture and YLNG agreed to suspend the two charter contracts for a period of up to three years from the date of the agreement. Should the LNG plant in Yemen resume operations during the term of the Suspension Agreement, YLNG will be required to repay the applicable deferred amounts plus interest over a period of installments. However, there are no assurances if or when the LNG plant will resume operations and, accordingly, if YLNG will be able to repay all or any portion of the deferred amounts. Pursuant to the Suspension Agreement, the MALT Joint Venture is permitted to directly charter the Arwa Spirit and Marib Spirit for its own account to third parties. In May 2019, the MALT Joint Venture secured one-year, fixed-rate charter contracts on the Arwa Spirit and Marib Spirit, which commenced in June and July 2019, respectively. In April 2020, the MALT Joint Venture secured a one-year, fixed-rate charter contract, with a one-year option, for the Arwa Spirit commencing in May 2020 after its current charter contract ends. Also in April 2020, the MALT Joint Venture secured an eight-month charter contract for the Methane Spirit, which is expected to commence concurrently after its current charter contract ends in July 2020.

Teekay LNG's 30%-owned joint venture in Bahrain (or the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture) completed the mechanical construction and commissioning of the LNG receiving and regasification terminal in Bahrain and began receiving terminal use payments in early-2020 under its 20-year terminal use agreement with National Oil & Gas Authority (or NOGA).

Effective January 1, 2020, the International Maritime Organization (or IMO) imposed a 0.50% m/m (mass by mass), global limit for sulfur in fuel oil used on board ships. To comply with this new regulatory standard, ships may utilize different fuels containing low or zero sulfur or utilize exhaust gas cleaning systems, known as “scrubbers”. To date, Teekay LNG have not installed any scrubbers on its existing fleet, but Teekay LNG has taken and continues to take steps to comply with the 2020 sulfur limit. Detailed plans to address this changeover were prepared and have been successfully implemented. In addition, dialogue with all charterers took place with a view to promote the use of LNG as the primary fuel whenever possible. All charterers accepted the rationale as a logical means of compliance. Vessels are supplied with compliant low sulfur heavy fuel oil and low sulfur marine gas oil which are used as pilot fuels, maneuvering or heel out situations, or in the case of heavy fuel oil only vessels, as the primary fuel. Under time charters, as both the LNG and compliant fuel is supplied by the charterers, there has been minimal impact on revenues for Teekay LNG's LNG fleet.

In October 2019, Teekay LNG sold its last remaining conventional tanker, the Alexander Spirit, for net proceeds of $11.5 million.

During September 2019, Awilco LNG ASA (or Awilco) exercised its option to extend the charters for the WilForce and WilPride by up to 60 days from December 31, 2019 to February 29, 2020. In October 2019, Awilco obtained credit approval for a financing facility that would provide the funds necessary for Awilco to fulfill its repurchase obligation of the WilForce and the WilPride LNG carriers. As a result, Teekay LNG derecognized both vessels for accounting purposes and recognized sales-type lease receivables of $265.2 million based on the remaining payments owing to Teekay LNG, including the remaining daily hire, $29 million in aggregate of deferred hire and the aggregate vessel repurchase price obligations. Teekay LNG recognized a gain of $14.3 million upon derecognition of the vessels in the fourth quarter of 2019. No voyage revenues were recognized in respect of these Awilco charters subsequent to September 30, 2019. Pursuant to Teekay LNG's bareboat charters, Awilco repurchased the WilPride and WilForce on January 3, and January 7, 2020, respectively, and paid Teekay LNG the associated purchase obligations and deferred hire amounts relating to these two vessels. The net proceeds from the sales were used to repay $157 million of term loans that were collateralized by these vessels, and to fund working capital requirements.

On September 25, 2019, the United States Government, by an Executive Order of the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (or OFAC), imposed sanctions on COSCO Shipping Tanker (Dalian) Co., Ltd. (or COSCO Dalian). At the time, COSCO Dalian owned 50% of China LNG Shipping (Holdings) Limited (or CLNG). CLNG was not listed on the OFAC Order as a Specially Designated National or involved in any sanctioned activity, but by virtue of being 50%-owned by COSCO Dalian at the time, CLNG was designated as a “Blocked Person” under OFAC's deeming rules. CLNG, in turn, owns a 50% interest in Teekay LNG's Yamal LNG joint venture (or the Yamal LNG Joint Venture), which owns six on-the-water ARC7 LNG carriers. As a result of CLNG’s 50% interest, the Yamal LNG Joint Venture at the time also qualified as a “Blocked Person" under OFAC's deeming rules. On October 21, 2019, the COSCO group completed an ownership restructuring on arms'-length terms pursuant to which its 50% interest in CLNG was transferred from COSCO Dalian to a non-sanctioned COSCO entity, which automatically resulted in CLNG and the Yamal LNG Joint Venture no longer being classified as a “Blocked Person” under OFAC's deeming rules. Although CLNG and, by implication, the Yamal LNG Joint Venture were absolved from sanctions as a result of the October 2019 restructuring, OFAC subsequently lifted its sanctions against COSCO Dalian in January 2020. Teekay LNG does not expect any material financial impact from these resolved issues.

In August, November and December 2019, the Yamal LNG Joint Venture took delivery of its fourth, fifth and sixth ARC7 LNG carrier newbuildings, the Vladimir Voronin, the Georgiy Ushakov and the Yakov Gakkel, respectively. Upon delivery, the vessels commenced their respective 26- to 27-year charter contracts with Yamal Trade Pte. Ltd. Teekay LNG has a 50% ownership interest in these vessels through its interest in the joint venture.

In June 2019, Teekay LNG entered into an agreement with a contractor to supply reliquefaction equipment to enhance vessel performance on certain of its LNG carriers in 2021 and 2022, for an estimated installed cost of approximately $61 million.

In May 2019, Teekay LNG extended the fixed-rate charter contract of the 1993-built Polar Spirit LNG carrier for three additional years at a charter rate in excess of the previous fixed rate. The charter extension commenced on May 7, 2019.

In February 2019, Teekay LNG entered into a commercial management agreement with a third-party commercial manager (or the Manager) pursuant to which the Manager will commercially manage Teekay LNG's seven multi-gas vessels. In May 2019, Teekay LNG completed the transition of the commercial management of all seven multi-gas vessels to the Manager. In March 2020, Teekay LNG received notice from the Manager that it will dissolve the pool effective September 2020 in accordance with its rights in the commercial management agreement. Teekay LNG is currently evaluating all alternatives with respect to the future commercial activities of these vessels after the agreement with the Manager ends in September 2020.

Effective January 1, 2019, Teekay LNG has been treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and common and preferred unitholders will receive Form 1099s instead of Schedule K-1s relating to distributions taxable as dividend. Teekay LNG remains a master limited partnership and all other provisions of Teekay LNG's limited partnership agreement remain in effect.

In January 2019, the Yamal Spirit LNG carrier newbuilding was delivered, which concurrently commenced its 15-year charter time-contract with Yamal Trade Pte. Ltd. Upon delivery of the vessel, Teekay LNG entered into a 15-year sale-leaseback financing arrangement with a lessor for $158.7 million. The proceeds were used to pay the shipyard for construction costs upon delivery of the LNG carrier newbuilding.

In January 2019, Teekay LNG's joint venture with China LNG Shipping (Holdings) Limited (or China LNG), CETS Investment Management (HK) Co. Ltd. and BW Investments Pte. Ltd. (or the Pan Union Joint Venture) took delivery of its fourth LNG carrier newbuilding, the Pan Africa. Upon delivery, the vessel commenced its 20-year charter contract with Shell. Teekay LNG has a 20% ownership interest in this vessel through Teekay LNG's interest in the joint venture.

In January 2019, Compania Espanole de Petroleos, S.A (or CEPSA), the charterer and owner of Teekay LNG's finance leased vessel, the Toledo Spirit, sold the vessel to a third party. As a result of the sale, Teekay LNG returned the vessel to CEPSA and the full amount of Teekay LNG's associated obligation related to the finance lease of the vessel was concurrently extinguished. In addition, Teekay LNG incurred associated seafarer severance costs of $3.0 million in 2019 related to the sale of the Toledo Spirit.

In September 2018, the MALT Joint Venture agreed to charter its LNG carrier, the Magellan Spirit, to Teekay LNG for an initial period of two years at a fixed rate. Teekay LNG subsequently chartered-out the Magellan Spirit to third parties at charter rates that were higher than the charter-in rate that Teekay LNG is required to pay to the MALT Joint Venture. In March 2019, the Magellan Spirit completed its charter contract with a third party and was redelivered to Teekay LNG, at which time the vessel proceeded to its scheduled dry dock which completed in May 2019. In April 2019, Teekay LNG secured a three-year fixed-rate charter contract for the Magellan Spirit, which commenced in late-May 2019. In connection with this new three-year charter, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries agreed to charter-in the vessel from Teekay LNG in order to facilitate the charter-out of the vessel to the third-party customer. The in-charter contract was novated to Teekay LNG in the fourth quarter of 2019. Teekay LNG expects to continue to directly charter the vessel to the third-party customer for the duration of the remaining three-year charter. In connection with this arrangement, the MALT Joint Venture extended its existing charter-out contract to Teekay LNG for the same three-year period to cover the entire charter period with the third-party customer.

Calendar-ship-days presented relate to consolidated vessels.

Income from vessel operations for Teekay LNG increased to $299.3 million in 2019 compared to $148.6 million in 2018, primarily as a result of:

an increase of $53.1 million as a result of write-downs in 2018 of three conventional tankers and four multi-gas vessels and the sales of the Teide Spirit, European Spirit, African Spirit, Toledo Spirit and Alexander Spirit, partially offset by a write-down of the Alexander Spirit in the third quarter of 2019;
an increase of $48.6 million due to the deliveries of the Sean Spirit, Bahrain Spirit and Yamal Spirit and commencement of their charter contracts;
an increase of $33.2 million primarily due to higher charter rates earned in 2019 on the Torben Spirit and our seven multi-gas carriers;
an increase of $12.3 million due to the deliveries of the Magdala, Myrina and Megara following the commencement of their charter contracts in 2018;
an increase of $8.9 million due to the reclassification of Awilco vessels as sales-type leases in the fourth quarter of 2019, resulting in a gain on the derecognition of vessels in the same period;
an increase of $6.0 million primarily due to a reduction in legal and other professional fees incurred in 2019. During 2018, professional fees included amounts relating to the tax treatment dispute relating to the lease of three LNG carriers (or the RasGas II LNG Carriers) in Teekay LNG's 70%-owned consolidated subsidiary Teekay Nakilat Corporation (or the RasGas II Joint Venture) and claims against a Norway-based marine transportation company, I.M. Skaugen SE, for damages and losses for Teekay LNG's seven multi-gas carriers previously on charter to them; and
an increase of $3.2 million due to the Polar Spirit being off-hire for 35 days in 2018 primarily due to an incident investigation involving a collision with a small vessel and repositioning to other charters;

partially offset by

a decrease of $9.1 million due to the Madrid Spirit and Galicia Spirit being off-hire for 82 days and 38 days in 2019, respectively, and the impact of the depreciation of the Euro on Teekay LNG's Euro-denominated revenue and Euro-denominated operating expenses, partially offset by the Catalunya Spirit being off-hire for 28 days in 2018 for a scheduled dry docking; and
a decrease of $3.5 million due to decrease in operating expenses passed through to the charterer and due to declining revenue recognition for charter contracts accounted for as direct financing leases for the Tangguh Sago and Tangguh Hiri in 2019.

53


Equity income related to Teekay LNG’s liquefied gas carriers increased to $58.8 million in 2019 compared to $53.5 million in 2018. The changes were primarily a result of:

an increase of $23.3 million due to the deliveries of the Pan Americas, Pan Europe, Pan Africa, Rudolf Samoylovich, Nikolay Yevgenov, Vladimir Voronin, Georgiy Ushakov and Yakov Gakkel following the commencement of their charter contracts in 2018 and 2019;
an increase of $8.8 million due to recognition of dry-dock revenue upon completion of a dry dock for the Meridian Spirit, higher charter rates earned for the Arwa Spirit and Marib Spirit on one-year fixed-rate charter contracts commencing in the third quarter of 2019, higher fleet utilization in 2019, and lower interest expense as a result of the refinancing completed in 2018 in Teekay LNG's 52%-owned investment in the LNG carriers relating to MALT LNG Carriers; and
an increase of $7.9 million due to higher fixed and spot charter rates earned in Teekay LNG's 50%-ownership interest in Exmar LPG BVBA (or the Exmar LPG Joint Venture) compared to 2018;
partially offset by

a decrease of $17.7 million due to mark-to-market changes for derivative instruments, resulting in the recognition of unrealized losses in 2019 compared to unrealized gains in 2018;
a decrease of $10.8 million due to the Bahrain Spirit floating storage unit chartered-in by the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture from Teekay LNG commencing in September 2018 not earning any sub-charter income in 2019; and
a decrease of $5.7 million due to a gain on the sale of Teekay LNG's interest in its 50%-owned joint venture with Exmar NV (or the Excelsior Joint Venture) recorded in 2018.
Teekay Tankers
As at December 31, 2019, Teekay Tankers owned and leased 55 double-hulled conventional oil and product tankers, time chartered-in four Aframax and two Long Range 2 (or LR2) product tankers, and owned a 50% interest in one Very Large Crude Carrier (or VLCC).
Recent Developments in Teekay Tankers
In January 2020, Teekay Tankers reached an agreement to sell the non-U.S. portion of its STS business, as well as its LNG terminal management business for $26 million, with an adjustment for the final amounts of cash and other working capital present on the closing date. The sale is expected to close in the second quarter of 2020.

As described above, effective January 1, 2020, the IMO imposed a 0.50% m/m (mass by mass), global limit for sulfur in fuel oil used on board ships. To comply with this new regulatory standard, ships may utilize different fuels containing low or zero sulfur or utilize exhaust gas cleaning systems, known as “scrubbers”.  Teekay Tankers has taken, and continues to take, steps to comply with the 2020 sulfur limit. Detailed plans to address this changeover were prepared and were successfully implemented.  At present, Teekay Tankers has not installed any scrubbers on its fleet and has switched over to burning compliant low sulfur fuel from January 1, 2020.  The initial transition to low sulfur fuel did not have a significant impact on operational results.  The future fuel price spread between high sulfur fuel and low sulfur fuel is uncertain, however, the use of compliant low sulfur fuel is anticipated to result in an increase in voyage expenses.  It is expected that Teekay Tankers will be able to recover fuel price increases from the charterers of its vessels through higher rates for voyage charters.

During the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, Teekay Tankers agreed to sell four Suezmax tankers in separate transactions for a combined sales price of approximately $79 million. One vessel was delivered to the buyer in December 2019, two vessels were delivered to their respective buyers in February 2020 and the remaining vessel was delivered in March 2020.
In March and April 2020, Teekay Tankers entered into three time charter-out contracts for three Suezmax tankers with one-year terms at an average daily rate of $46,700. The charters are expected to commence between April 2020 and May 2020.
In December 2019, Teekay Tankers entered into a time charter-out contract for one Suezmax tanker with a one-year term at a daily rate of $36,000.

In October 2019, Teekay Tankers entered into time charter-out contracts for two Suezmax tankers with one-year terms at an average daily rate of $38,250 and a time charter-out contract for one Suezmax tanker with a ten-month term at a daily rate of $35,950.

In the second quarter of 2019, Teekay Tankers entered into a time charter-in contract for one Aframax tanker for a firm period of two years at a daily rate of $21,000 with an option period of one year at $22,000 per day. The vessel was delivered to Teekay Tankers during the third quarter of 2019 and has been trading in the spot market.

In May 2019, Teekay Tankers completed a $63.7 million sale-leaseback financing transaction for two of its Suezmax tankers. Each vessel is leased on a bareboat charter for nine years, with a fixed daily rate of $12,300, with purchase options throughout the lease term commencing at the end of the second year, and a purchase obligation at the end of the lease term. Proceeds from the sale-leaseback transaction were used to prepay a portion of one of Teekay Tankers' loan facilities.

In the first quarter of 2019, Teekay Tankers entered into time charter-in contracts for two LR2 product tankers, each of which has a two-year term with a weighted-average daily rate of $20,500 and a one-year extension option with a weighted-average daily rate of $22,500.

54


Teekay Tankers entered into a risk-sharing agreement with a third party for one of the vessels, whereby an agreed portion of net profit or loss is shared with the third party. Both vessels were delivered in January 2019 and have been trading in the spot market.

Tanker Market
The crude tanker market started 2019 on a positive note following a firm fourth quarter of 2018. However, rates quickly declined through the first half of the year as a result of relatively high tanker fleet growth, lower OPEC crude oil production, and heavier than normal refinery maintenance as refiners prepared for the IMO 2020 regulations. Lower OPEC crude oil production was a result of both high adherence to the 1.2 million barrels per day (mb/d) of cuts implemented from the start of 2019 and reduced supply from Venezuela and Iran as a result of U.S. sanctions. On the fleet supply side, the worldwide tanker fleet grew by 21.9 million deadweight tonnes (mdwt), or 3.7%, in the first half of 2019, which was the highest level of fleet growth in a half-year period since the first half of 2009.

Crude tanker spot rates started to tighten late in the third quarter of 2019; in the fourth quarter of 2019 rates increased to the highest levels since 2008, which can be attributed to a combination of firmer underlying tanker supply and demand fundamentals, normal winter seasonality, and one-off events. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global oil demand increased by 1.7 mb/d year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2019, with refinery throughput also having increased after a period of extended maintenance earlier in the year. Atlantic basin crude oil production was a significant driver of tonne-mile demand in the fourth quarter, spurred by an increase in U.S. crude oil exports, along with new volumes from Brazil and Norway, much of which moved long-haul to refineries in Asia.

On the tanker fleet supply side, U.S. sanctions on two subsidiaries of leading Chinese state-owned shipping and logistics company, COSCO, removed 26 Very Large Crude Carriers (or VLCCs) from the trading fleet, which led to a rapid tightening of available fleet supply. Furthermore, an increase in floating storage ahead of the IMO 2020 regulations coming into force and the removal of vessels from the trading fleet to retrofit scrubbers also served to tighten fleet supply during the fourth quarter of 2019.

Crude tanker spot rates were firm during January 2020 but came under pressure in February due to the impact of the global coronavirus outbreak and the return of the previously sanctioned COSCO vessels to the trading fleet. However, rates firmed again during March 2020 and as of the date of this Annual Report were back at the highs seen in the fourth quarter of 2019. A widening gap between global oil demand, which is being negatively impacted by the coronavirus outbreak and a drop in transportation fuel demand, and global oil supply, which is being elevated by the collapse of the OPEC+ supply agreement and subsequent increase in oil production, has led to a rapid decline in crude oil prices and a steep contango in crude oil futures. This is creating strong demand for floating storage, which is tying up a significant amount of crude tanker tonnage, while refiners and governments are looking to take advantage of cheap oil prices by filling onshore oil inventories. Tanker fleet utilization has tightened as a result of these changes and Teekay Tankers expect tanker spot rates look set to remain firm in the near-term.

Looking longer-term, the outlook for global oil and tanker demand is highly uncertain due to the developing coronavirus outbreak and its impact on the global economy. According to the IEA, global oil demand is expected to decline in 2020 for the first time since the financial crisis in 2009. The extent of the decline remains to be seen and will depend on how long current restrictions over travel and economic activity in many countries across the globe remain in place. The timing of a potential recovery in economic activity, and therefore oil demand, is also uncertain at this time. A large build-up of oil inventories, both onshore and at sea, may lead to a period of weaker tanker demand in the future as these inventories are drawn down. However, the timing and magnitude of this stock draw is uncertain.


55


A relatively small tanker orderbook and anticipated scrapping activity in an aging global fleet is expected to result in relatively low tanker fleet growth over the next two years. Teekay Tankers estimate tanker fleet growth of approximately 3% in 2020 and 1.5% in 2021, which are both well below tanker fleet growth of 5.8% in 2019. Furthermore, new vessel ordering remains at relatively low levels given constrained access to capital and uncertainty over future industry regulatory and technology changes. The removal of vessels from the global trading fleet for scrubber retrofitting should also help tighten vessel supply during 2020, though the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on ship repair yard operations and a strong tanker spot market may delay scrubber installations in the near-term.

Teekay Tankers' income from vessel operations increased to $123.9 million in 2019 compared to $7.2 million in 2018, primarily as a result of:

an increase of $129.3 million due to higher overall average realized spot tanker rates earned by Teekay Tankers' Suezmax, Aframax and LR2 product tankers;
an increase of $3.5 million due to improved net results from Teekay Tankers' full service lightering (or FSL) activities from more voyage days and higher realized spot rates earned;
an increase of $3.4 million resulting from lower general and administrative expenses primarily due to non-recurring project expenses incurred in 2018;
a net increase of $2.3 million primarily due to the delivery of three Aframax and two LR2 chartered-in tankers in late 2018 and throughout 2019, partially offset by the redeliveries of various in-chartered tankers to their owners in the second and third quarters of 2018; and
an increase of $1.2 million as a result of restructuring charge incurred in the prior year;
partially offset by
a decrease of $10.2 million due to a higher number of off-hire days in 2019 resulting from dry dockings and higher off-hire bunker expenses compared to the prior year;
a decrease of $6.9 million due to lower revenues and loss on the sale of one Suezmax tanker in 2019 and the write-down of two Suezmax tankers that were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2019; and
a decrease of $6.4 million due to the amortization of first dry dockings for various former Tanker Investments Ltd. (or TIL) vessels subsequent to Teekay Tankers' acquisition of TIL in late 2017.
Equity income increased to $2.3 million in 2019 from $1.2 million in 2018 primarily due to higher earnings recognized in 2019 from the High-Q Investment Ltd. joint venture as a result of higher spot rates earned in 2019.
Teekay Parent
As at December 31, 2019, Teekay Parent had direct interests in three 100%-owned operating FPSO units, and in-chartered two shuttle tankers and one FSO unit from Altera, all of which are included in Teekay Parent’s Offshore Production business. In addition, included in Teekay Parent’s Other and Corporate G&A segment is one FSO unit in-chartered from Altera and one bunker barge in-chartered from a third party. Teekay Parent redelivered one FSO unit to Altera in April 2019 and one chartered-in LNG unit to Teekay LNG in November 2019.
Recent Developments in Teekay Parent
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (or COVID-19) as a pandemic.  Certain crew members of the Hummingbird Spirit FPSO disembarked from the unit after a third-party contractor on board was presenting with flu-like symptoms who subsequently tested positive for COVID-19. In accordance with U.K. Government and Oil & Gas U.K. guidelines in dealing with COVID-19, production on the unit was temporarily suspended on April 4, 2020 to enable a crew health assessment, cleaning of the FPSO and an assessment of any additional precautions which should be taken before the resumption of production. The impact, if any, of the shut-down of the unit on Teekay Parent's results of operations is uncertain. Teekay Parent has not yet experienced any other material negative impacts to its business, results of operations, or financial position as a result of COVID-19. The future financial effects to the Teekay Parent, if any, of COVID-19 cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. 

On March 27, 2020, Teekay Parent entered into a new bareboat charter contract with Britoil Limited, a subsidiary of BP p.l.c., for the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit for up to approximately ten years.  Under the terms of the contract, Teekay Parent received an upfront payment of approximately $67 million in cash, and is expecting to receive a nominal per day rate over the life of the contract, and a lump sum payment at the end of the contract period, which is expected to cover the costs of recycling the FPSO unit in accordance with the European Union Ship Recycling Regulations.

In May 2019, Teekay Parent sold to Brookfield all of its remaining interests in Altera, which included its 49% general partner interest, common units, warrants, and an outstanding $25 million loan from us to Altera, for total cash proceeds of $100 million. As a result of the transaction, Teekay Parent recorded and recognized an impairment charge of $64.9 million and recognized a loss on sale of $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, which are reflected in the results of the Altera segment.

The Sevan Hummingbird FPSO unit is on a charter contract with Spirit Energy Ltd (or Spirit Energy). In October 2019, Teekay Parent entered into a contract extension to extend the employment of the Sevan Hummingbird FPSO in the North Sea until March 2023. The new Sevan Hummingbird FPSO contract took effect on October 1, 2019 and is based on a fixed charter rate instead of the previous fixed charter rate plus oil production/price tariff.

56



The Petrojarl Banff FPSO unit has been operating on the Banff field since its delivery nearly 20 years ago under a charter contract with CNR that permitted CNR to terminate the contract at any time with six months’ notice. In May 2019, Teekay Parent entered into a further contract extension with CNR to extend the employment of the Petrojarl Banff FPSO for a period of one year to the end of August 2020. In the first quarter of 2020, CNR provided formal notice to Teekay to decommission the Banff field and remove the Petrojarl Banff FPSO and the Apollo Spirit FSO from the field in June 2020.

During the first and third quarters of 2019, Teekay Parent took impairment charges in respect of all three of its FPSO-related assets. Substantially all of the impairment charges relate to the write-down of two of Teekay Parent’s FPSO units. Teekay Parent made changes to its expected cash flows from the two FPSO units based on recent discussions with potential buyers about the possible sale of the units and with existing charterers about contract extensions. This led to the write-down of one unit to its estimated fair value, based on the expected sales price, and a write-down of the other unit to its estimated fair value, using a discounted cash flow approach based on the terms of the existing contract and expectations about future contract extensions and potential sale of the unit.

Apart from three FPSO units in 2019 and 2018, all remaining calendar-ship-days presented relate to in-chartered days.
Teekay Parent – Offshore Production
The charter contract for the Petrojarl Banff FPSO unit includes an incentive compensation component based on production and oil price. The charter contract for the Sevan Hummingbird FPSO unit included an incentive compensation component based on production and oil price until October 1, 2019, at which time the new contract based on a fixed charter rate took effect. The Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit’s charter contract also includes incentives based on total oil production for the year, certain operational measures, and the average annual oil price. As a result, changes in oil prices impact Teekay Parent's incentive compensation under these contracts and may negatively impact its liquidity and future revenues if oil prices fall below current levels.

(Loss) income from vessel operations decreased to a loss of $208.2 million during 2019 compared to income of $23.0 million in 2018, primarily as a result of:

a decrease of $178.3 million due to impairments of Teekay Parent's three FPSO assets in 2019.
a decrease of $24.4 million related to the Petrojarl Banff FPSO unit, primarily due to an increase in shutdown days for maintenance, lower oil prices in 2019, and a lower day rate commencing in 2019. These were partially offset by a decrease in repairs and maintenance costs in 2019;

57


a decrease of $25.3 million related to the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit, primarily due to lower production, an increase in shutdown days for maintenance, and lower tariff revenue earned in 2019; and
a decrease of $3.1 million related to the Sevan Hummingbird FPSO unit, primarily due to lower tariff revenue earned in 2019 as a result of lower oil prices and lower production in 2019. This was partially offset by lower depreciation as a result of a write-down of the unit in the third quarter of 2019.
Teekay Parent – Other and Corporate G&A
Loss from vessel operations for Other and Corporate G&A was $10.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to loss from vessel operations of $14.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily due to a decrease in corporate expenses and the redelivery of the two in-chartered LNG carriers to Teekay LNG in 2018, partially offset by the termination of certain contracts for managing drybulk vessels.
Teekay Parent – Equity Income
Equity income was $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to equity income of $13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The change was primarily due to the sale of Teekay Parent's 43.5% ownership interest in Magnora ASA (or Magnora) in November 2018.
Equity-Accounted Investment in Altera
Recent Developments in Altera
In May 2019, we sold to Brookfield all of our remaining interests in Altera, which included our 49% general partner interest, common units, warrants, and an outstanding $25 million loan from us to Altera, for total proceeds of $100 million.
Prior to the sale in May 2019 of our remaining interests in Altera to Brookfield, we accounted for our investment in Altera's general partner and common units using the equity method. We recognized equity losses from Altera of $75.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 ($6.9 million – year ended December 31, 2018). Included in that amount for 2019 was a write-down of our investment in Altera of $64.9 million and a loss on sale of Altera of $8.9 million. The equity loss for the year ended December 31, 2018 includes our proportionate share of write-downs of two of Altera's FPSO units totaling $9.4 million and gains on Altera's settlement with Petrobras in relation to the previously-terminated charter contracts of the HiLoad DP unit and Arendal Spirit UMS of $12.9 million.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased to $279.1 million in 2019, compared to $254.1 million in 2018, primarily due to:

an increase of $29.9 million primarily to the commencement of Teekay LNG's finance lease obligations upon the deliveries of the Myrina, Megara and Yamal Spirit LNG carriers and an increase in debt balance to pay for the final newbuilding installments on the Bahrain Spirit and Sean Spirit LNG carrier newbuilding deliveries;
an increase of $6.7 million primarily due to the additional interest expense incurred by Teekay Tankers with respect to three sale-leaseback financing transactions completed in September 2018, November 2018 and May 2019; and
an increase of $6.3 million due to decreases in capitalized interest in Teekay LNG in 2019 as a result of vessels delivered during 2018 and 2019;
partially offset by
net decrease of $13.8 million as a result of the repurchase of the 8.5% senior notes (or the 2020 Notes), partially offset by an increase in debt issuance cost amortization and the higher interest rate for the 9.25% senior secured notes due November 2022 (or the 2022 Notes) issued by Teekay Parent in May 2019 (please read "Item 18 – Financial StatementsNote 9 – Long-Term Debt"); and

58


a decrease of $4.1 million relating to interest incurred by Teekay Parent in 2018 as a result of the prepayment of the outstanding amounts under one revolving credit facility and lower debt issuance cost amortization in 2019 on an amendment of another revolving credit facility.
Realized and unrealized (losses) gains on non-designated derivative instruments. Realized and unrealized (losses) gains related to derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are included as a separate line item in the consolidated statements of loss. Net realized and unrealized losses on non-designated derivatives were $13.7 million for 2019, compared to $14.9 million for 2018, as detailed in the table below:

The realized losses relate to amounts we actually realized for settlements related to these derivative instruments in normal course and amounts paid to terminate interest rate swap agreement terminations.

During 2019 and 2018, we had interest rate swap agreements with aggregate average net outstanding notional amounts of approximately $1.1 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, with average fixed rates of approximately 3.0% and 2.9%, respectively. Short-term variable benchmark interest rates during these periods were generally less than 3.0% and, as such, we incurred realized losses of $8.3 million and $13.9 million during 2019 and 2018, respectively, under the interest rate swap agreements. We did not incur any realized losses related to the termination of interest rate swaps in 2019, compared to realized losses of $13.7 million during 2018.

Primarily as a result of significant changes in long-term benchmark interest rates during 2019 and 2018, we recognized unrealized losses of $7.9 million in 2019 compared to unrealized gains of $33.7 million in 2018 under the interest rate swap agreements.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized a reversal of previously unrealized losses of $26.9 million on all the warrants held by Teekay to purchase common units of Altera (or the Warrants) as a result of the sale of the Warrants to Brookfield, and we concurrently recognized a realized loss of $25.6 million during the same period. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we recognized unrealized losses of $21.1 million on the Warrants. Please read “Item 18 – Financial StatementsNote 12 – Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments.”

Foreign Exchange Loss. Foreign currency exchange losses were $13.6 million in 2019 compared to gains of $6.1 million in 2018. Our foreign currency exchange gains and losses, substantially all of which are unrealized, are primarily due to the relevant period-end revaluation of our Norwegian-Krone (or NOK)-denominated debt and our Euro-denominated term loans, finance leases and restricted cash for financial reporting purposes and the realized and unrealized (losses) gains on our cross currency swaps. Gains on NOK-denominated and Euro-denominated monetary liabilities reflect a stronger U.S. Dollar against the NOK and Euro on the date of revaluation or settlement compared to the rate in effect at the beginning of the period. Losses on NOK-denominated and Euro-denominated monetary liabilities reflect a weaker U.S. Dollar against the NOK and Euro on the date of revaluation or settlement compared to the rate in effect at the beginning of the period. For 2019, foreign currency exchange loss included realized losses of $5.1 million (2018$6.5 million) and unrealized losses of $13.2 million (2018 – gains of $21.2 million) on our cross currency swaps, realized losses on maturity and termination of cross currency swaps of $nil (2018$42.3 million) and unrealized gains of $5.8 million (2018 – gains of $19.2 million) on the revaluation of our NOK-denominated debt.

Loss on deconsolidation of Altera. Loss on deconsolidation of Altera was $7.1 million in 2018. Please read "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 4 – Deconsolidation and Sale of Altera."

Other loss. Other loss was $14.5 million in 2019 compared to $2.0 million in 2018. Other loss in 2019 was primarily due to losses of $10.6 million on the repurchase of 2020 Notes, $2.0 million tax expense on Teekay LNG's income from U.S. sources and $1.4 million losses relating to Teekay LNG's sale lease-back refinancing of the Torben Spirit completed in 2019. Other loss in 2018 included $1.8 million related to repurchases of the 2020 Notes and $0.6 million related to the tax indemnification guarantee liability related to the Teekay Nakilat finance lease.


59


Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $25.5 million in 2019 compared to $19.7 million in 2018. This increase in income tax expense was primarily due to changes to freight tax accruals in 2019.
Year Ended December 31, 2018 versus Year Ended December 31, 2017
For a discussion of our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared with the year ended December 31, 2017, please see "Item 5 – Recent Developments and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity and Cash Needs

Teekay Corporation Consolidated

Overall, our consolidated 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 and debt securities (primarily by our publicly-traded subsidiaries) and cash generated from operations. In addition, we may use sale and leaseback arrangements as a source of long-term liquidity. We use certain of 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. As at December 31, 2019, Teekay Corporation’s total consolidated cash and cash equivalents (including cash presented in assets held for sale) were $354.4 million, compared to $424.2 million at December 31, 2018. Teekay Corporation’s total consolidated liquidity, including cash and cash equivalents and undrawn credit facilities and the undrawn portion of a loan, which is determined based on certain borrowing criteria, to finance Teekay Tankers' costs to commercially manage its vessels, was $672.0 million as at December 31, 2019, compared to $724.7 million as at December 31, 2018.

Our revolving credit facilities and term loans are described in "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 9 – Long-Term Debt.” They contain covenants and other restrictions typical of debt financing secured by vessels that restrict the ship-owning subsidiaries from, among other things: incurring or guaranteeing indebtedness; changing ownership or structure, including mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions; making dividends or distributions if we are in default; making capital expenditures in excess of specified levels; making certain negative pledges and granting certain liens; selling, transferring, assigning or conveying assets; making certain loans and investments; or entering into new lines of business.

Our 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, 2019, these vessel market value to loan ratios ranged from 138.0% to 281.0% compared to their minimum required ratios of 115.0% to 135.0%. The vessel values used in these ratios are the appraised values provided by third parties where available or prepared by us based on second-hand sale and purchase market data. Changes in the LNG/LPG carrier or conventional tanker markets could negatively affect our compliance with these ratios.

The indenture that governs our 2022 Notes (further described in the Teekay Parent section below) contains covenants that, among other things, restrict our and the guarantors’ ability to: incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness; pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem our equity interests; prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt; issue certain preferred stock or similar equity securities; make investments; sell assets; incur liens, including the granting of any lien on any of the 2022 Note collateral, or further pledging any of the 2022 Note collateral as security, subject to permitted liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. The indenture also provides that under specific circumstances we may be required to offer to use all or a portion of the net proceeds of sales of our FPSO units or sales of Class B common stock of Teekay Tankers consummated prior to a specified date to repurchase 2022 Notes at a premium. The indenture further provides that we may be required, under certain circumstances, to offer to use all or a portion of the net proceeds of certain asset sales (other than a sale of an FPSO unit or shares of Class B common stock of Teekay Tankers prior to the specified date) to repurchase 2022 Notes.

Two of Teekay Tankers’ term loans, which are scheduled to mature in 2021, are guaranteed by Teekay. As at December 31, 2019, the aggregate outstanding balance on such credit facilities was $145.0 million. One of the term loans contains covenants that require Teekay Parent to maintain the greater of (a) free cash (cash and cash equivalents) and undrawn committed revolving credit lines with at least six months to maturity of at least $50.0 million and (b) an aggregate of free cash and undrawn committed revolving credit lines with at least six months to maturity of at least 5.0% of Teekay’s total consolidated debt (excluding the debt Teekay LNG and its subsidiaries and Teekay Tankers and its subsidiaries which is non-recourse to Teekay). Teekay Tankers repaid and settled this term loan in the first quarter of 2020, which had an outstanding balance of $52 million as at December 31, 2019. The other term loan requires Teekay Parent and Teekay Tankers collectively to maintain the greater of (a) free cash (cash and cash equivalents) of at least $100.0 million and (b) an aggregate of free cash and undrawn committed revolving credit lines with at least six months to maturity of at least 7.5% of Teekay's total consolidated debt (excluding the debt of Teekay LNG). As a result of the refinancing of one of the two term loans during the first quarter of 2020, Teekay is no longer a guarantor of that term loan as of the date this Annual Report on Form 20-F was filed. In addition, certain loan agreements require Teekay Tankers to maintain minimum liquidity (cash, cash equivalents and undrawn committed revolving credit lines with at least six months to maturity) of $35.0 million and at least 5.0% of Teekay Tankers' total consolidated debt.

Certain loan agreements require Teekay LNG to maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth, and minimum liquidity (cash, cash equivalents and undrawn committed revolving credit lines with at least six months to maturity) of $35.0 million, and not to exceed a maximum level of financial leverage.


60


As at the date this Annual report on Form 20-F was filed, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its credit facilities and other long-term debt.

The aggregate annual long-term debt principal repayments required to be made by us subsequent to December 31, 2019, excluding payments made related to our finance lease obligations and after giving effect to Teekay LNG's revolving credit facility refinancing completed in March 2020 and Teekay Tankers' debt refinancing completed in January 2020, are $0.5 billion (2020), $0.6 billion (2021), $0.6 billion (2022), $0.4 billion (2023), $0.3 billion (2024) and $0.4 billion (thereafter).

We conduct our funding and treasury activities based on corporate policies designed to minimize borrowing costs and maximize investment returns while maintaining the safety of the funds and appropriate levels of liquidity for our purposes. We hold cash and cash equivalents primarily in U.S. Dollars, with some balances held in Australian Dollars, British Pounds, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Japanese Yen, Norwegian Krone 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 and forward freight agreements to manage currency, interest rate and spot tanker rates. Please read "Item 11 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk." In addition, the charter contract for the Petrojarl Banff FPSO unit includes an incentive compensation component based on production and oil price. Until the commencement of the new contract structure for the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit on March 27, 2020, its charter contract also included incentives based on total oil production for the year, certain operational measures, and the average annual oil price. As a result, changes in oil prices impact Teekay Parent's incentive compensation under these contracts and may negatively impact its liquidity and future revenues if oil prices fall below current levels.

As described under “Item 4 – Information on the Partnership: B. Operations - Regulations,” passage of any climate control legislation or other regulatory initiatives that restrict emissions of greenhouse gases could have a significant financial and operational impact on our business, which we cannot predict with certainty at this time. Such regulatory measures could increase our costs related to operating and maintaining our vessels and require us to install new emission controls, acquire allowances or pay taxes related to our greenhouse gas emissions, or administer and manage a greenhouse gas emissions program. In addition, increased regulation of greenhouse gases may, in the long term, lead to reduced demand for oil and gas and reduced demand for our services.

Based on our liquidity at the date of this Annual Report and the liquidity we expect to generate from operations over the following year, assuming no significant decline in spot tanker rates, we expect that we will have sufficient liquidity to meet our existing liquidity needs for at least the one-year period following the date of this Annual Report.

Teekay Parent

Teekay Parent primarily owns an equity ownership interest in the Daughter Entities, 100% ownership interests in the general partner and incentive distribution rights relating to Teekay LNG and three FPSO units, provides management services to the Daughter Entities and third-parties, and in-charters a small number of vessels. Teekay Parent’s primary short-term liquidity needs are the payment of operating expenses, debt servicing costs and scheduled repayments of long-term debt, as well as funding its other working capital requirements. Teekay Parent’s primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows provided by operations, dividends/distributions and management fees received from the Daughter Entities and other investments, its undrawn credit facilities and proceeds from the sale of vessels to external parties (and in the past, to Teekay LNG, Teekay Tankers and Altera). As at December 31, 2019, Teekay Parent’s total cash and cash equivalents was $104.2 million, compared to $220.2 million at December 31, 2018. Teekay Parent’s total liquidity, including cash, cash equivalents and undrawn credit facilities, was $195.3 million as at December 31, 2019, compared to $333.4 million as at December 31, 2018.

In May 2019, Teekay Parent sold to Brookfield all of its remaining interests in Altera for $100 million, which included, among other things, a $25 million loan. Teekay Parent recognized a write-down of its investment in Altera of $64.9 million and a loss on sale of $8.9 million upon completion of the transaction in 2019.

In May 2019, Teekay Parent completed a private offering of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes. The 2022 Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by certain of its subsidiaries and are secured by first-priority liens on two of its FPSO units, a pledge of the equity interests of our subsidiary that owns all of our common units of Teekay LNG and all of our Class A common shares of Teekay Tankers and a pledge of the equity interests in its subsidiaries that own Teekay Parent's three FPSO units.

During the first quarter of 2019, Teekay Parent repurchased $10.9 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2020 Notes. In April 2019, Teekay Parent commenced a cash tender offer (or the Offer) to purchase any and all of the 2020 Notes for cash consideration of $1,032.50 (for notes tendered in the early tender period) or $982.5 (for notes tendered after the early tender period) per $1,000 in principal amount of 2020 Notes. In May 2019, Teekay Parent completed the Offer and purchased $460.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes. Teekay Parent funded the Offer with a combination of the net proceeds from its issuance of 2022 Notes, the proceeds from the 2019 Brookfield Transaction, and its existing cash. Teekay Parent recognized a loss of $10.6 million on the repurchase of the 2020 Notes in 2019. For more information, please read "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 9 – Long-Term Debt." In January 2020, Teekay Parent repaid all remaining 2020 Notes at maturity.

In connection with the offering of the 2022 Notes and the Offer, our Board of Directors approved the elimination of the quarterly dividend on Teekay’s common stock commencing with the first quarter of 2019. 


61


In April 2019, Teekay filed a continuous offering program (or COP) under which Teekay may issue shares of its common stock, at market prices up to a maximum aggregate amount of $63.0 million. No shares of common stock have been issued under this COP as of December 31, 2019.

Teekay's equity margin revolving credit facility provides for aggregate potential borrowings of up to $150 million, is secured by common units of Teekay LNG and shares of Class A common stock of Teekay Tankers that are owned by Teekay Parent, and matures in December 2020. As of December 31, 2019, Teekay Parent had drawn down $50.0 million on this facility and had $91.1 million available to be drawn based on the value of the collateral as at that date. Teekay Parent drew down an additional $10.0 million on this facility in the first quarter of 2020 and had $38.7 million available to be drawn as at March 31, 2020.

Teekay Parent has guaranteed obligations of Teekay Tankers pursuant to certain of its credit facilities. As at December 31, 2019, the aggregate outstanding balance on such credit facilities was $145.0 million. As a result of the refinancing during the first quarter of 2020 of one of the two term loans, which had an outstanding balance of $52.2 million as at December 31, 2019, Teekay Parent is no longer a guarantor of that term loan as of the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.

Based on Teekay Parent's liquidity at the date of this Annual Report and the liquidity Teekay Parent expects to generate from operations over the following year, Teekay Parent expects to have sufficient liquidity to meet its existing liquidity needs for at least the one-year period following the date of this Annual Report.

Teekay LNG

Teekay LNG's business strategy is to employ a substantial majority of its vessels on fixed-rate contracts, mainly with large energy companies and their transportation subsidiaries. Teekay LNG's primary liquidity needs for 2020 through 2021 include payment of operating expenses, dry-docking expenditures, the funding of general working capital requirements, scheduled repayments and maturities of long-term debt and obligations related to finance leases, debt service costs, committed capital expenditures, our quarterly distributions, including payments of distributions on its Series A and Series B Preferred Units and common units and funding any common unit repurchases it may undertake.

Teekay LNG anticipates that its primary sources of funds for its short-term liquidity needs will be cash flows from operations, proceeds from debt financings, and dividends that it expects to receive from its equity-accounted joint ventures.

Teekay LNG's remaining liquidity needs include the need to refinance or repay certain of its loan facilities and bonds maturing during 2020 and 2021, which Teekay LNG expects to do. Teekay LNG's ability to continue to expand the size of its fleet over the long-term is dependent upon its ability to generate operating cash flow, obtain long-term bank borrowings, sale-leaseback financing and other debt, as well as its ability to raise debt or equity financing through public or private offerings.

As at December 31, 2019, Teekay LNG's consolidated cash and cash equivalents were $160.2 million, compared to $149.0 million at December 31, 2018. Teekay LNG's total liquidity, which consists of cash, cash equivalents and undrawn credit facilities, was $326.4 million as at December 31, 2019, compared to $324.6 million as at December 31, 2018.

As at December 31, 2019, Teekay LNG had a working capital deficit of $118.6 million, which includes $393.1 million of scheduled maturities and repayments of long-term debt in the 12 months following December 31, 2019. Scheduled maturities include $157.3 million of credit facilities maturing in June 2020 and $113.8 million for Teekay LNG's NOK bonds maturing in May 2020. As a result of the sales of two LNG Carriers in early-January 2020, Teekay LNG repaid the $157.3 million of credit facilities due in June 2020, and increased its liquidity by over $100 million. Teekay LNG expects to manage its working capital deficit primarily with net operating cash flow and dividends from its equity-accounted joint ventures, expected debt refinancings (including the completed debt refinancing of a revolving credit facility in March 2020), and, if necessary, existing undrawn revolving credit facilities. As at December 31, 2019, Teekay LNG had undrawn revolving credit facilities of $166.2 million.

Teekay LNG also guarantees its proportionate share of certain loan facilities and obligations on interest rate swaps for its equity-accounted joint ventures for which the aggregate principal amount of the loan facilities and fair value of the interest rate swaps as at December 31, 2019 was $1.4 billion. As of the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, Teekay LNG understands that its equity-accounted joint ventures were in compliance with all covenants relating to these loan facilities that Teekay LNG guarantees.

As part of a balanced capital allocation strategy, Teekay LNG increased its quarterly cash distributions on its common units by 36% in 2019 from $0.14 per common unit to $0.19 per common unit, commencing with the quarterly distribution paid in May 2019. In addition, Teekay LNG intends to increase its quarterly cash distributions on its common units by 32%, commencing with the quarterly distribution for the first quarter of 2020, to $0.25 per common unit, or $1.00 per common unit on an annualized basis, payable in May 2020.

During 2018, Teekay LNG announced that its general partner’s Board of Directors had authorized a common unit repurchase program of up to $100 million of Teekay LNG's common units. Common units may be repurchased in the open market or privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise at times and prices considered appropriate by Teekay LNG. The timing of any purchases and the exact number of common units to be purchased under the common unit repurchase program will be dependent on market conditions and other factors. During 2019, Teekay LNG repurchased 1.9 million common units (2018 - 0.3 million common units) for $25.2 million (2018 - $3.7 million), and associated 2% general partnership interest of $0.5 million (2018 - $0.1 million). Subsequent to December 31, 2019, Teekay LNG repurchased an additional 1.4 million of its common units for a total of $15.3 million. As at March 31, 2020, the remaining dollar value of common units that may be purchased under the program is approximately $55.8 million.

Teekay LNG believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents and undrawn long-term borrowings, in addition to other sources of cash including cash from operations and the initiatives described above, will be sufficient to meet its existing liquidity needs for at least the one-year period following the date of this Annual Report.
Teekay Tankers
Teekay Tankers' primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows provided by its operations, its undrawn credit facilities, proceeds from sales of vessels, and capital raised through financing transactions. As at December 31, 2019, Teekay Tankers' total cash and cash equivalents were $89.9 million, including cash in assets held for sale, compared to $54.9 million at December 31, 2018.

Teekay Tankers' total liquidity, including cash, cash equivalents, cash held for sale and undrawn credit facilities that was determined on certain borrowing criteria, was $150.3 million as at December 31, 2019, compared to $66.7 million as at December 31, 2018. Teekay Tankers anticipates that its primary sources of funds for its short-term liquidity needs will be cash flows from operations, existing cash and cash equivalents and undrawn long-term borrowings, or proceeds from refinancing existing loans and new financings.

Teekay Tankers' short-term liquidity requirements include the payment of operating expenses, dry-docking expenditures, debt servicing costs, scheduled repayments and prepayments of long-term debt, scheduled repayments of its obligations related to finance leases, as well as funding its other working capital requirements. Teekay Tankers' short-term charters and spot market tanker operations contribute to the volatility of its net operating cash flow, and thus impact its ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its short-term liquidity needs. 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, tanker spot markets historically have exhibited seasonal variations in charter rates. Tanker spot 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.

Effective May 2018, Teekay Tankers eliminated the payment of the minimum quarterly dividend of $0.24 per share ($0.96 per share annually) in order to preserve liquidity during the cyclical downturn of the tanker spot market. In November 2019, Teekay Tankers revised its previous formulaic dividend policy, which was based on a payout of 30 to 50 percent of its quarterly adjusted net income, to primarily focus on building net asset value through balance sheet delevering and reducing its cost of capital.

Teekay Tankers' long-term capital needs are primarily for capital expenditures and repayment of its loan facilities and obligations related to finance leases. Teekay Tankers expects that its long-term sources of funds will primarily be cash balances, cash flows from operations, long-term bank borrowings and other debt or equity financings, including the new $532.8 million revolving credit facility as mentioned below, to refinance a majority of our fleet. Teekay Tankers expects that it will rely upon external financing sources, including bank borrowings and the issuance of debt and equity securities, to fund any acquisitions and expansion capital expenditures, including opportunities Teekay Tankers may pursue to purchase additional vessels.

In January 2020, Teekay Tankers entered into a new $532.8 million long-term debt facility to refinance 31 vessels, which is scheduled to mature at the end of 2024. The proceeds from the new debt facility which were drawn down in February 2020, were used to repay approximately $455 million of its two revolving facilities and one of its term loan facilities, which were scheduled to mature in 2021.

In December 2019, Teekay Tankers obtained approval from the lender for an increase to the limit of its working capital loan facility by an additional $25.0 million for a total facility limit of $80.0 million.

In May 2019, Teekay Tankers completed a $63.7 million sale-leaseback financing transaction for two of its Suezmax tankers. Each vessel is leased on a bareboat charter for nine years, with a fixed daily rate of $12,300, with purchase options throughout the lease term commencing at the end of the second year, and a purchase obligation at the end of the lease term. Proceeds from the sale-leaseback transaction were used to prepay a portion of one of Teekay Tankers' loan facilities.

Teekay Tankers believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents and undrawn long-term borrowings, in addition to other expected sources of liquidity including cash from operations assuming no significant decline in spot tanker rates, will be sufficient to meet its existing liquidity needs for at least the one-year period following the date of this Annual Report.

Operating Cash Flows
Our consolidated net cash flow from operating activities fluctuates primarily as a result of changes in vessel utilization and TCE rates, changes in interest rates, fluctuations in working capital balances, the timing and amount of dry-docking 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. In addition, the production performance of certain of our FPSO units that operate under contracts with a production-based compensation component has contributed to fluctuations in operating cash flows. As the charter contracts of some of our FPSO units include incentives based on average annual oil prices, the changes in global oil prices during recent years have also impacted our operating cash flows.

Consolidated net cash flow from operating activities increased to $383.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, from $182.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This increase was primarily due to a $127.2 million increase in income from operations mainly from operations (before depreciation, amortization, asset impairments, loss on sale of vessels and the amortization of in-process revenue contracts) of our businesses. For further discussion of changes in income from vessel operations from our businesses, please read Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Recent Developments and Results of Operations.” In addition, there was a $9.9 million increase in cash flows from changes to non-cash working capital, a $23.6 million increase in dividends received from joint ventures, and a $17.1 million increase in direct financing lease payments received, which are presented as an operating cash inflow instead of an investing cash inflow after the adoption of ASU 2016-02 in 2019. Furthermore, interest expense, including realized losses on interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps, decreased a net amount of $38.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 2018, primarily due to a decrease in realized losses on cross currency swaps. These increases were partially offset by an increase in cash outflows of $15.9 million in dry-dock expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to 2018.
Financing Cash Flows
The Daughter Entities hold all of our liquefied gas carriers (Teekay LNG) and all of our conventional tanker assets (Teekay Tankers). Teekay LNG received $317.8 million of net proceeds from the sale-leaseback financing transactions for the Yamal Spirit and Torben Spirit for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $370.1 million from the sale-leaseback financing transactions completed for the Magdala, Myrina and Megara for the same period in 2018. Teekay Tankers received $63.7 million from the sale-leaseback financing transactions completed on two of its Suezmax tankers for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $241.3 million in the same period last year from the sale-leaseback financing transactions completed on eight Aframax tankers, one Suezmax tanker and one LR2 Product tanker.

We use our credit facilities to partially finance capital expenditures. Occasionally, we will use revolving credit facilities to finance these expenditures until longer-term financing is obtained, at which time we typically use all or a portion of the proceeds from the longer-term financings to prepay outstanding amounts under the revolving credit facilities. We actively manage the maturity profile of our outstanding financing arrangements. During 2019, we had a net cash outflow of $227.3 million relating primarily to prepayments of short-term and long-term debt, issuance costs and payments on maturity of cross currency swaps, net of proceeds from the issuances of short-term and long-term debt, compared to net cash inflow of $553.7 million in 2018. Scheduled repayments decreased by $438.1 million in 2019 compared to 2018.

Historically, the Daughter Entities have distributed operating cash flows to their owners in the form of distributions or dividends. There were no equity financing transactions from the Daughter Entities for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Teekay LNG repurchased $25.7 million of common units in the year ended December 31, 2019. Teekay Parent did not raise capital through equity financing transactions in December 31, 2019, compared to $103.7 million raised in 2018 from issuances of new equity to the public, third-party investors and two entities established by our founder (including Resolute, our largest shareholder). Cash dividends paid decreased by $16.6 million in 2019, as a result of the elimination of Teekay Parent's quarterly dividend on Teekay’s common stock commencing with the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
Investing Cash Flows
During 2019, we received $100 million from Brookfield for the sale of our remaining interests in Altera (please read "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 4 – Deconsolidation and Sale of Altera"). We incurred capital expenditures for vessels and equipment of $109.5 million primarily for capitalized vessel modifications and shipyard construction installment payments in Teekay LNG. Teekay LNG received proceeds of $11.5 million from the sale of the Alexander Spirit and contributed $72.4 million to its equity-accounted joint ventures and loans to joint ventures for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily to fund project expenditures in the Yamal LNG Joint Venture and the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture. During 2019, Teekay Tankers received proceeds of $19.6 million related to the sale of one Suezmax tanker.

During 2018, we incurred capital expenditures for vessels and equipment of $0.7 billion, primarily for capitalized vessel modifications and shipyard construction installment payments. Teekay Parent advanced $25.0 million to Altera in the form of a senior unsecured revolving credit facility. Teekay LNG received proceeds of $54.4 million from the sale of Teekay LNG's 50% ownership interest in the Excelsior Joint Venture and $28.5 million from the sales of the European Spirit and African Spirit. Teekay LNG contributed $40.5 million to its equity-accounted joint ventures and loans to joint ventures for the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily to fund project expenditures in the Yamal LNG Joint Venture, the Bahrain LNG project, and the Pan Union Joint Venture, and for working capital requirements for the MALT Joint Venture. Teekay incurred a net $25.3 million cash outflow as a result of the 2017 Brookfield Transaction (please read "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 4 – Deconsolidation and Sale of Altera").

Giving effect to the debt refinancing completed in March 2020, excludes expected interest payments of $47.2 million (2020), $37.7 million (2021), $29.0 million (2022), $22.9 million (2023), $19.8 million (2024) and $58.8 million (beyond 2024). Expected interest payments are based on existing interest rates (fixed-rate loans), LIBOR or EURIBOR at December 31, 2019, plus margins on debt that has been drawn that range up to 3.25% (variable-rate loans), as well as the prevailing U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate as of December 31, 2019. The expected interest payments do not reflect the effect of related interest rate swaps that Teekay LNG has used as an economic hedge of certain of its variable-rate debt. In addition, the above table does not reflect scheduled debt repayments in Teekay LNG's equity-accounted joint ventures.
(4)
Includes, in addition to lease payments, amounts Teekay LNG may be or is required to pay to purchase the leased vessels at the end of their respective lease terms.
(5)
Teekay LNG has corresponding leases whereby it is the lessor and expects to receive approximately $196.6 million under those leases from 2020 to 2029.
(6)
The Bahrain LNG Joint Venture, in which Teekay LNG has a 30% ownership interest, has an LNG receiving and regasification terminal in Bahrain. The terminal is owned and operated under a 20-year agreement. As at December 31, 2019, Teekay LNG's 30% share of the estimated remaining costs included in the table above is $11.4 million, of which the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture has secured undrawn debt financing of $10 million based on Teekay LNG's proportionate share.
In June 2019, Teekay LNG entered into an agreement with a contractor to supply equipment on certain of its LNG carriers in 2021 and 2022, for an estimated installed cost of $60.6 million. As at December 31, 2019, the estimated remaining cost of this installation is $49.7 million.

Teekay Parent in-charters two FSO units and two shuttle tankers from Altera. One of the FSO units are on-chartered to a third party. One of the FSO units and the two shuttle tankers are part of the service contracts of the Petrojarl Banff FPSO unit and the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit, respectively.
(12)
Teekay Parent 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 the costs associated with the 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. We expect that the ARO will be covered in part by contractual payments of approximately $8.4 million, presented in other non-current assets on our balance sheets, to be received from FPSO contract counterparties.
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 accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. Accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in this section are those that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties. For a further description of our material accounting policies, please read “Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”
Revenue Recognition
Description. We recognize revenue from voyage charters on either a load-to-discharge or discharge-to-discharge basis. Voyage revenues are recognized ratably from the beginning of when product is loaded to when it is discharged if using a load-to-discharge basis, or from when product is discharged (unloaded) at the end of the prior voyage to when it is discharged after the current voyage, if using a discharge-to-discharge basis. However, we do not begin recognizing voyage 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.

Judgments and Uncertainties. Whether to use the load-to-discharge basis or the discharge-to-discharge basis depends on whether the customer directs the use of the vessel throughout the period of use, pursuant to the terms of the voyage charter. This is a matter of judgment. However, we believe that if the customer has the right to direct the vessel to different load and discharge ports, among other things, a voyage charter contract contains a lease, and the lease term begins on the later of the vessel’s last discharge or inception of the voyage charter contract. As such, in this case revenue is recognized on a discharge-to-discharge basis. Otherwise, it is recognized on a load-to-discharge basis.

Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. If our assessment of whether the customer directs the use of the vessel throughout the period of use is not consistent with actual results, then the period over which voyage revenue is recognized would be different and as such our revenues could be overstated or understated for any given period by the amount of such difference.
Contingencies
Description. We may, from time to time, be involved in legal proceedings, claims or other situations involving uncertainty as to a possible loss, such as uncertain tax positions, that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. We accrue a provision for such loss contingencies if it is probable as of the reporting date, that an asset had been impaired or a liability incurred, based in information available prior to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements, and if the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Judgments and Uncertainties. The amount of loss contingencies recognized as a liability in our consolidated financial statements requires management to make significant estimates that may at times be inherently difficult to make given the uncertainties involved, including estimates of whether it is probable an asset had been impaired or a liability incurred, the amount of possible losses, the ability to recover some or all of the possible loss through insurance coverage, amongst others. Our loss contingencies are disclosed in more detail in "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 17d – Commitments and Contingencies" and "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 22 – Income Taxes".

66



Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. Our net loss could be overstated or understated for any given period to the extent actual losses incurred, following resolution of our contingencies, are different than our prior estimates of recognized loss contingencies.
Vessel Lives and Depreciation
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, the cost of newbuildings, among other factors. Both charter rates and newbuilding costs tend to be cyclical in nature.

Judgments and Uncertainties. Depreciation is calculated using an estimated useful life of 25 years for tankers carrying crude oil and refined product, 30 years for LPG carriers and 35 years for LNG carriers, commencing the date the vessel is delivered from the shipyard, or a shorter period if regulations prevent us from operating the vessels for those periods of time. The Company’s current FPSO units are depreciated using an initial estimated useful life of 25 years commencing the date the unit is installed at the oil field and is in a condition that is ready to operate. The estimated useful life of our vessels involves an element of judgment, which takes into account design life, commercial considerations and regulatory restrictions.

Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. 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 depreciation expense and potentially resulting in an impairment loss. A longer actual useful life will result in a decrease in depreciation expense.
Vessel Lives and Impairment
Description. We review vessels and equipment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset, including 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. 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. For a vessel under charter, the discounted cash flows from that vessel may exceed or be less than its market value, as market values may assume the vessel is not employed on an existing charter.

Judgments and Uncertainties. Our estimates of future undiscounted cash flows used to determine whether a vessel's carrying value is recoverable involves assumptions about future charter rates, vessel utilization, operating expenses, dry-docking expenditures, vessel residual values, redeployment assumptions for vessels on long-term charter, the probability of the vessels being sold 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 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, ongoing 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. To estimate the future undiscounted cash flows for FPSO units, additional estimates are made including, level of oil production, average annual oil price, oil field reserves, redeployment prospects for the FPSO units, redeployment rates, amount of capital investments required before redeployment to a new field and any idle time before redeployment. Should actual results differ significantly from our estimates and assumptions, we may be required to recognize impairments of the carrying values of the assets.

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 whether our estimates of future cash flows, particularly future vessel charter rates, vessel values or redeployment assumptions for our FPSO units, 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. Consequently, any changes in our estimates of future undiscounted cash flows may result in a different impairment amount, including no impairment, and a different future annual depreciation expense.


67


The following table presents, by type of vessel, the aggregate market values and carrying values of certain of our vessels that we have determined have a market value that may be less than their carrying value as of December 31, 2019. We have excluded those assets operating on charter contracts where the remaining term is significant and the estimated future undiscounted cash flows relating to such charter contracts are sufficiently greater than the carrying value of the vessels such that we consider it unlikely that an impairment would be recognized in 2020. While the market values of these vessels may be 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. 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 charter contracts.

We would consider the vessels reflected in the following table to be at a higher risk of future impairment than our vessels not reflected in the table. The table is disaggregated for vessels which have estimated future undiscounted cash flows that are marginally or significantly greater than their respective carrying values. The recognition of an impairment in the future may be more likely for those vessels that have estimated future undiscounted cash marginally greater than their respective carrying values. Vessels with estimated future cash flows significantly greater than their respective carrying values would not likely be impaired in the next 12 months unless they are disposed of. In deciding whether to dispose of a vessel, we determine whether it is economically preferable 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 cash flows. 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.

Undiscounted cash flows for these vessels are significantly greater than their carrying values.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Description. We allocate the cost of acquired businesses 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.

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 to below its carrying value. When goodwill is reviewed for impairment, the Company will measure the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, with the maximum impairment not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill.

Judgments and Uncertainties. The allocation of the purchase price of acquired companies requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows expected to be generated by the acquired assets and the appropriate discount rate to value these cash flows. In addition, the process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill and intangible assets is highly subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis. The fair value of our reporting units was estimated based on discounted expected future cash flows using a weighted-average cost of capital rate. The estimates and assumptions regarding expected cash flows and the appropriate discount rates require considerable judgment and are based upon existing contracts, historical experience, financial forecasts and industry trends and conditions.

Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. As of December 31, 2019, we had four 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 four reporting units with goodwill attributable to them might be impaired within the next year. However, certain factors that impact our goodwill impairment tests are inherently difficult to forecast and as such we cannot provide any assurances that an impairment will or will not occur in the future. An assessment for impairment involves a number of assumptions and estimates that are based on factors that are beyond our control. 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. See “Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 16 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments that are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes are recognized in earnings in the consolidated statement of income. Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes are recorded in other comprehensive income and are reclassified to earnings in the consolidated statement of income when the hedged transaction is reflected in earnings. 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 us and the swap counterparties. The estimated amount for interest rate swaps 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 agreement 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 short-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. We economically hedge the 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 16 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” for the effects on the change in fair value of our derivative instruments on our consolidated statements of loss.
Taxes
Description. The expenses we recognize relating to taxes are based on our income, statutory tax rates and our interpretations of the tax regulations in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. We review our tax positions quarterly and adjust the balances as new information becomes available.

Judgments and Uncertainties. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The future realization of deferred tax assets depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in either the carryback or carryforward period. This analysis requires, among other things, the use of estimates and projections in determining future reversals of temporary differences, forecasts of future profitability and evaluating potential tax-planning strategies. In addition, we recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only if 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 by the taxing authorities, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and respective governmental taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required in evaluating uncertainties.

Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. If we determined that we were able to realize a net deferred tax asset in the future or if an uncertain tax position was sustained upon examination, and such amount was in excess of the net amount previously recognized, we would increase our net income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, if we determined that we were not able to realize all or a part of our deferred tax asset in the future or if an uncertain tax position was not sustained upon examination, we would decrease our net income in the period such determination was made. See “Item 18 - Financial Statements: Note 22 - Income Taxes”.

Compensation of Directors and Senior Management

Director Compensation

The aggregate cash fees received by the six non-employee directors listed above under Directors and Senior Management and the four individuals who served as non-employee directors and retired in June 2019, for their service as directors, plus reimbursement of their out-of-pocket expenses, was approximately $1.1 million. Each non-employee director receives an annual cash retainer of $90,000. The Chair of the Board also receives an annual cash retainer of $215,000. Members of the Audit Committee, Compensation and Human Resources Committee, and Nominating and Governance Committee each receive an annual cash fee of $10,000. The Chairs of the Audit Committee, Compensation and Human Resources Committee, and Nominating and Governance Committee each receive an annual cash fee of $20,000, $17,500 and $15,000, respectively. The Chair of the Board does not receive an additional cash retainer for being a member of the Audit Committee or the Compensation and Human Resources Committee or serving as the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee. 

Each non-employee director also receives a $110,000 annual retainer to be paid by way of a grant of, at the director’s election, restricted stock or stock options under our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (or the 2013 Plan). Pursuant to this annual retainer, during 2019, we granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 290,199 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.98 per share in March 2019, 55,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share in June 2019 and 111,808 shares of restricted stock in March 2019.

The Chair of the Board also receives a $150,000 annual retainer to be paid by way of a grant of, at the Chair’s election, restricted stock or stock options under our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

The stock options described in this section expire March 14, 2029, ten years after the date of their grant. The stock options and restricted stock vest as to one-third of the shares on each of the first three anniversaries of their respective grant dates.
Annual Executive Compensation
The aggregate compensation earned in 2019 by Teekay’s six executive officers listed above under Directors and Senior Management (or the Executive Officers), excluding equity-based compensation described below, was $6.3 million.

These amounts were paid primarily in Canadian Dollars, but are reported here in U.S. Dollars using an average exchange rate of 1.33 Canadian Dollars for each U.S. Dollar for 2019. Teekay’s annual bonus plan considers both company performance and team performance.
Long-Term Incentive Program
Teekay’s long-term incentive program focuses on the returns realized by our shareholders and is intended to acknowledge and retain those executives who can influence our long-term performance. The long-term incentive plan provides a balance against short-term decisions and encourages a longer time horizon for decisions. This program consists of grants of stock option and restricted stock units. All grants in 2019 were made under our 2013 Plan.

During March 2019, we granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,540,344 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.98 and 309,279 shares of restricted stock to Teekay's Executive Officers under our 2013 Plan. The stock options expire March 14, 2029, ten years after the date of grant. The stock options and restricted stock units vest as to one-third of the shares on each of the first three anniversaries of their grant dates.
Options to Purchase Securities from Registrant or Subsidiaries
In March 2013, we adopted the 2013 Plan and suspended the 1995 Stock Option Plan and the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (collectively referred to as the Plans). As at December 31, 2019, we had reserved pursuant to our 2013 Plan 5,606,429 shares (December 31, 20185,777,326) of common stock.

During 2019, 2018 and 2017, we granted options under the 2013 Plan to acquire up to 2,525,113, 1,048,916 and 732,314 shares of Common Stock, respectively, to eligible officers, employees and directors. Each option under the Plans has a 10-year term and vests equally over three years from the grant date. The outstanding options under the Plans as at December 31, 2019 are exercisable at prices ranging from $3.98 to $56.76 per share, with a weighted-average exercise price of $10.88 per share and expire between March 8, 2020 and March 14, 2029.

Starting in 2013, employees who provide services to our publicly-traded subsidiaries (Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers) received a proportion of their annual equity compensation award under the equity compensation plan of the applicable Daughter Entity (the Teekay LNG Partners L.P. 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan or the Teekay Tankers Ltd. 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan, depending on their level of contribution towards the applicable subsidiary. These awards generally took the form of Restricted Stock Units (or RSUs), which are described as Phantom Units under the Teekay LNG Partners L.P. 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, but we refer to all of these awards as RSUs for purposes of this disclosure. Teekay Tankers also granted stock options starting in 2014 to certain senior employees.

Board Practices
Our Board of Directors currently consists of seven members as listed above under Directors and Senior Management. 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 David Schellenberg and Peter Antturi were elected at the 2019 annual meeting. Directors Rudolph Krediet, Bjorn Moller and Heidi Locke Simon have terms expiring in 2020, and Mr. Krediet and Ms. Locke Simon intend to stand for re-election at the 2020 annual meeting. Directors Alan Semple and Kenneth Hvid each have terms expiring in 2021. David Schellenberg currently serves as Chair of the Board.

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

The Board of Directors has determined that each of the current members of the Board 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 Rudolph Krediet, Heidi Locke Simon and Peter Antturi with our largest shareholder or its affiliates and concluded these relationships do not materially affect their independence as directors. Please read “Item 7 – Major Shareholders and Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

The Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that address, among other things, director qualification standards, director functions and responsibilities, director access to management, director compensation and management succession. This document is available under “Investors – Teekay Corporation – Governance” from the home page of our web site at www.teekay.com.

The NYSE does not require a company like ours, which is a “foreign private issuer,” to have a majority of independent directors on the Board of Directors or to establish compensation or nominating/corporate governance committees composed of independent directors.

The Board of Directors has the following three committees: Audit Committee, Compensation and Human Resources Committee, and Nominating and Governance Committee. The membership of these committees during 2019 and the function of each of the committees are described below. Each of the committees is currently comprised of independent members and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. All of the committee charters are available under “Investors – Teekay Corporation – Governance” from the home page of our web site at www.teekay.com. During 2019, the Board held seven meetings. Each director attended all Board meetings, with the exception of one director, who was absent from one meeting. During 2019, the Board held 15 committee meetings. Each director who was a member of a committee attended all applicable committee meetings, except for one committee member, who was absent from one meeting.

Our Audit Committee is composed entirely of directors who satisfy applicable NYSE and SEC audit committee independence standards. Our Audit Committee is currently comprised of Alan Semple (Chair), Heidi Locke Simon and David Schellenberg. All members of the committee are financially-literate and the Board has determined that Mr. Semple qualifies as an audit committee financial expert.

The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities for general oversight of:

the integrity of our consolidated financial statements;
our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;
the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence; and
the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors.

Our Compensation and Human Resources Committee is composed entirely of directors who satisfy applicable NYSE compensation committee independence standards. This committee is currently comprised of Heidi Locke Simon (Chair), Rudolph Krediet and David Schellenberg.

The Compensation and Human Resources Committee:

reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluates the Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of these goals and objectives, and determines the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation;
reviews and approves the evaluation process and compensation structure for executive officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer, evaluates their performance and sets their compensation based on this evaluation;
reviews and makes recommendations to the Board regarding compensation for directors;
establishes and administers long-term incentive compensation and equity-based plans; and
oversees our other compensation plans, policies and programs.

Our Nominating and Governance Committee is currently comprised of David Schellenberg (Chair), Bjorn Moller, Kenneth Hvid, and Heidi Locke Simon.

The Nominating and Governance Committee:


73


identifies individuals qualified to become Board members and recommends to the Board of Directors nominees for election as directors;
maintains oversight of the operation and effectiveness of the Board and our corporate governance and management;
develops, updates and recommends to the Board corporate governance principles and policies applicable to us, monitors compliance with these principles and policies; and
oversees the evaluation of the Board and its committees.
Crewing and Staff
As at December 31, 2019, we employed approximately 5,050 seagoing staff serving on our consolidated and equity-accounted vessels managed by us, and approximately 650 shore-based personnel, compared to approximately 4,800 seagoing and 780 shore-based personnel as at December 31, 2018, and approximately 7,200 seagoing and 1,100 shore-based personnel as at December 31, 2017. The 2019 and 2018 seagoing staff and shore-based personnel do not include the employees of Altera.

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.

We are a party to a collective bargaining agreement with the Philippine Seafarers’ Union, an affiliate of the International Transport Workers’ Federation (or ITF), and an agreement with ITF London that cover substantially all of our junior officers and seafarers that operate our Bahamian-flagged vessels. We are also party to collective bargaining agreements with various Australian maritime unions that cover officers and seafarers employed through our Australian operations. Our officers and seafarers 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, with long-term collective bargaining agreements that demonstrate commitment from both parties.

Our commitment to training is fundamental to the development of the highest caliber seafarers for our marine operations. Our cadet training program is designed to balance academic learning with hands-on training at sea. We have relationships with training institutions in Canada, Croatia, India, Norway, Philippines, Turkey and the United Kingdom. After receiving formal instruction at one of these institutions, the cadets’ training continues on-board a Teekay vessel. We also have an accredited Teekay-specific competence management system that is designed to ensure a continuous flow of qualified officers who are trained on our vessels and are familiar with our operational standards, systems and policies. We believe that high-quality manning and training policies will play an increasingly important role in distinguishing larger independent tanker companies that have in-house, or affiliate, capabilities from smaller companies that must rely on outside ship managers and crewing agents.

Teekay and certain of its subsidiaries have relationships or are parties to transactions with other Teekay subsidiaries, including Teekay’s publicly-traded subsidiaries Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers. Certain of these relationships and transactions are described below.
Relationships with Our Major Shareholder
As of March 1, 2020, Resolute owned approximately 31.7% of our outstanding common stock. The ultimate controlling person of Resolute is Path, which is the trust protector for the trust that indirectly owns all of Resolute’s outstanding equity. One of our current directors, Heidi Locke Simon, is engaged as a consultant to Kattegat Limited, the parent company of Resolute, to oversee its investments, including that in the Teekay group of companies. Another of our directors, Bjorn Moller, is also a director of Kattegat Limited. Director Rudolph Krediet is partner at Anholt Services (USA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kattegat Limited. Director Peter Antturi serves as an executive officer and director of Resolute and other Kattegat Limited subsidiaries and affiliates. He is also an executive officer and owner of Anglemont Financial Services Ltd., a joint venture with Kattegat Limited that provides financial services to Kattegat Limited and its subsidiaries.
Our Directors and Executive Officers
Our current Chair of the Board, David Schellenberg, also serves as a director of Teekay GP L.L.C. (the general partner of Teekay LNG) and of Teekay Tankers Ltd. Kenneth Hvid, our President and Chief Executive Officer, also serves as Chair of Teekay GP L.L.C and Teekay Tankers Ltd. Arthur Bensler, our Executive Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel, is a director of Teekay Tankers. Our director, Alan Semple, is also a director of Teekay GP L.L.C. Our director, Bjorn Moller, was also a director of Teekay Tankers, until his retirement from that Board on June 12, 2019.

Other of our officers currently serve as the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Teekay Tankers and as the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Teekay Gas Group Ltd., which provides executive personnel and other services to Teekay LNG. Prior to January 1, 2018, our officers also served as executive officers of Altera or of Teekay Offshore Group Ltd., our former subsidiary that provided executive personnel and other services to Altera.

Because the two executive officers of Teekay Tankers and the two executive officers of Teekay Gas Group Ltd., who provide or provided services to Teekay LNG were employees of Teekay or other of its subsidiaries, their compensation (other than any awards under the respective long-term incentive plans of Teekay Tankers and Teekay LNG) is or was paid by Teekay or such other applicable entities. Pursuant to agreements with Teekay, each of Teekay Tankers and Teekay LNG agreed to reimburse Teekay or its applicable subsidiaries for time spent by the executive officers on providing services to such public entities and their subsidiaries. For 2019 and 2018, these reimbursement obligations totaled approximately $1.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively, for Teekay Tankers and Teekay LNG. For 2017, these reimbursement obligations totaled approximately $1.3 million, $0.9 million, and $0.4 million, respectively, for Teekay Tankers, Teekay LNG, and Altera and are included in amounts paid as strategic management fees under the management agreement for Teekay Tankers and the services agreements for Teekay LNG and Altera.

Relationships with the Daughter Entities
Please see “Item 4C – Information on the Company – Organizational Structure” for information about our ownership interests in Teekay Tankers and Teekay LNG. Please see “Item 4A – Information on the Company – Overview, History and Development Our Ownership of the Daughter Entities and Recent Equity Offerings and Transactions by Daughter Entities” for information about certain equity issuances by the Daughter Entities to Teekay. In May 2019, we sold our remaining interests in our equity-accounted investment, Altera, to Brookfield (or the 2019 Brookfield Transaction).
Competition with Teekay Tankers, Teekay LNG and Altera
We have entered into an omnibus agreement with Teekay LNG, Altera and related parties governing, among other things, when Teekay, Teekay LNG, and Altera 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, without the approval of the other applicable parties, (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 Altera will own or operate LNG carriers and (c) neither Teekay LNG nor Altera will own or operate crude oil tankers, other than crude oil tankers included in their respective fleets as of the dates of their respective initial public offerings and certain replacement tankers. If Teekay or its affiliates no longer control the general partner of Teekay LNG or Altera or if there is a change of control of Teekay, the general partner of Teekay LNG or Altera or Teekay, as applicable, may terminate relevant noncompetition and rights of first offer provisions of the omnibus agreement. During 2018, Brookfield acquired a 51% ownership interest in the general partner of Altera and have the right to appoint a majority of the directors of the general partner’s Board of Directors. This transaction constituted a change of control, giving Altera the right to elect to terminate the omnibus agreement, though, to date, we have not received any indication from Altera that it intends to do so.

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.
Sales of Vessels and Project Interests
From time to time, Teekay has sold to Teekay Tankers, Teekay LNG and Altera 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 Parent is obligated to offer to sell the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit to Altera, subject to approvals required from the charterer. The purchase price for the Foinaven FPSO unit would be its fair market value plus any additional tax or other similar costs to Teekay Petrojarl that would be required to transfer the FPSO unit to Altera.
Teekay Parent owns the Petrojarl Banff and the Sevan Hummingbird FPSO units, which we will be obligated to offer to Altera in the future under the omnibus agreement following the commencement of a charter contract with a firm period of greater than three years' duration (which is not currently the case).
Teekay Parent is obliged to offer to sell its FPSO units to Altera, before it can offer to sell the FPSO units to third parties.

Time Chartering and Bareboat Chartering Arrangements

Teekay charters certain vessels in from or out to its Daughter Entities and Altera, including the following charter arrangements:

Two of Altera’s shuttle tankers were chartered out to Teekay subsidiaries until March 31, 2017, under long-term bareboat charters, and as from April 1, 2017, have been chartered out to Teekay subsidiaries under long-term time charters. The two shuttle tankers are part of the service contract of the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit. Prior to the completion of the 2019 Brookfield Transaction and pursuant to these charter contracts, Altera earned revenues of $14.4 million, $42.0 million, and $33.3 million, respectively, for 2019, 2018, and 2017. This time-charter terminated in March 2020, concurrently with the commencement of the new contract structure for the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit.
During 2019, three (three in 2018 and 2017) of Altera’s FSO units were chartered out to Teekay subsidiaries under long-term bareboat charters. Two of the FSO units are on-chartered to third parties, of which one contract terminated in April 2019. One of the FSO units is part of the service contract of the Petrojarl Banff FPSO unit. Prior to the completion of the 2019 Brookfield Transaction and pursuant to these charter contracts, Altera earned revenues of $6.4 million, $14.3 million, and $16.2 million, respectively, for 2019, 2018, and 2017.
Since April 2008, Teekay had 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. The contracts for Arctic Spirit and Polar Spirit terminated in March and April 2018, respectively. During 2019, Teekay LNG chartered in the Magellan Spirit LNG carrier from Teekay Parent on a short-term time-charter contract. During 2019, 2018, and 2017, Teekay LNG earned revenues of $11.6 million, $9.4 million, and $36.4 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 Altera and certain of their subsidiaries entered into services agreements with certain other subsidiaries of Teekay, pursuant to which the other Teekay subsidiaries agreed to provide to Teekay LNG, Altera and their operating subsidiaries administrative, strategic, business development, advisory, commercial and ship management services. The Teekay subsidiaries provide these services directly or subcontract for certain of these services with other entities, including other Teekay subsidiaries. Under the agreements, Teekay LNG and Altera pay arm’s-length fees for the services that include reimbursement of any direct and indirect expenses the other Teekay subsidiaries incur in providing these services.

Until December 31, 2017, Teekay and its wholly-owned subsidiaries directly and indirectly provided substantially all of Altera’s ship management, commercial, technical, strategic, business development and administrative service needs. In connection with the 2017 Brookfield Transaction, Teekay agreed to transfer to Altera, as of January 1, 2018, certain Teekay subsidiaries that had been devoted exclusively or nearly exclusively to providing services to Altera and its subsidiaries. Pursuant to this agreement, Altera acquired a 100% ownership interest in seven subsidiaries (or the Transferred Subsidiaries) of Teekay on January 1, 2018. Subsequent to their transfer to Altera, the Transferred Subsidiaries continue to provide ship management, commercial, technical, strategic, business development and administrative services to Teekay, primarily related to Teekay's FPSO units. Teekay and certain of its subsidiaries, other than the Transferred Subsidiaries, continue to provide certain other ship management, commercial, technical, strategic and administrative services to Altera.

Revenues received by us for services provided to Altera prior to the completion of the 2019 Brookfield Transaction were $7.6 million, $21.0 million, $17.8 million and $63.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, the year ended December 31, 2018, the period from deconsolidation on September 25, 2017 to December 31, 2017 and the period prior to deconsolidation between January 1, 2017 to September 24, 2017, respectively. Such fees we received subsequent to deconsolidation were recorded in revenues on our consolidated statements of loss.

Fees paid by us to Altera for services provided by Altera to us prior to the completion of the 2019 Brookfield Transaction were $9.6 million, $25.7 million and $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the period from deconsolidation on September 25, 2017 to December 31, 2017, respectively, and were recorded in vessel operating expenses and general and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of loss.

During 2019, 2018 and 2017, Teekay LNG incurred expenses of $20.4 million, $31.6 million and $33.0 million, respectively, for services rendered to them by us 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. (TTMS, or the Manager), a subsidiary of Teekay. On October 1, 2018, TTMS merged with Teekay Shipping Ltd. (or TSL), a subsidiary of Teekay and assumed the role as Manager.

Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager has agreed to provide the following types of services to Teekay Tankers: 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). Since commencement of the Management Agreement, the Manager subcontracted with Teekay Tankers Operations Ltd. (or TTOL) to provide to Teekay Tankers, through its subsidiaries or affiliates, commercial management and technical services for most of Teekay Tankers’ fleet. In August 2014, Teekay Tankers purchased from us a 50% interest in TTOL and in May 2017 Teekay Tankers acquired the remaining 50% interest in TTOL. On October 1, 2018, Teekay Tankers elected to provide its own commercial and technical services, effectively eliminating the prior subcontracting arrangement between the Manager and TTOL.

In return for commercial and technical services under the Management Agreement, prior to October 1, 2018, Teekay Tankers paid the Manager an agreed-upon fee for the commercial services (other than for Teekay Tankers vessels participating in pooling arrangements) and a technical services fee equal to the average rate Teekay charges third parties to technically manage their vessels of a similar size. In addition, Teekay Tankers pays 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 2019, 2018, and 2017, Teekay Tankers incurred $32.6 million, $43.3 million, and $30.0 million, respectively, for all of these services, and during 2019, 2018 and 2017 the Manager paid to the Teekay Tankers’ subsidiaries with which it subcontracted for certain services, $0.8 million, $13.8 million and $7.7 million, respectively.

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’ shareholders. Teekay Tankers did not incur any performance fees for 2019, 2018, or 2017.

Pooling Arrangements. Prior to 2019, pursuant to certain RSAs, TTOL provided management services in relation to the RSAs in exchange for a fee consisting of a fixed component based on the period of management and a variable component based on the vessel's monthly earnings. Voyage revenues and voyage expenses of all vessels which operated under these RSAs were shared based on the actual earning days each vessel was available and the relative performance capabilities of each vessel. Teekay Tankers incurred RSA management fees during 2019, 2018, and 2017 of $nil, $nil, and $2.8 million, respectively.

Teekay Tanker Operations Ltd.
On May 31, 2017, Teekay Tankers acquired from Teekay Holdings Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teekay, the remaining 50% interest in TTOL for $39.0 million, which included $13.1 million for assumed working capital. Teekay Tankers issued approximately 1.7 million shares of its Class B common stock to Teekay as consideration in addition to the working capital consideration of $13.1 million. Prior to May 31, 2017, Teekay Tankers owned 50% of TTOL and accounted for this investment using the equity method of accounting. Since Teekay Tankers acquired the remaining 50% of TTOL on May 31, 2017, it owns 100% of TTOL and now consolidates TTOL.
Relationship with Tanker Investments Ltd. (or TIL)
In January 2014, Teekay and Teekay Tankers formed TIL. On November 27, 2017, Teekay Tankers completed a merger with TIL acquiring all of the remaining 27.0 million issued and outstanding common shares of TIL, in a share-for-share exchange at a ratio of 0.4 shares of Teekay Tankers’ Class A common stock for each share of TIL common stock, and as a result TIL became a wholly-owned subsidiary. As consideration for the merger, Teekay Tankers issued 11.1 million Class A common shares to the TIL shareholders, including 1.0 million shares to Teekay. Commencing on November 27, 2017, Teekay Tankers consolidates the results of TIL.

Financial Information
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes
Please see "Item 18 – Financial Statements" 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 course of our business, principally personal injury and property casualty claims. Such claims, even if lacking merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. We believe that any adverse outcome of existing claims, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, when taking into account our insurance coverage and rights to seek indemnification from charterers. For information about recent legal proceedings, please read “Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 17c – Legal Proceedings and Claims.”
Dividend Policy
Since our initial public offering in 1995 until the quarter ended December 31, 2018, we had declared and paid a regular cash dividend. Our Board of Directors approved the elimination of the quarterly dividend on Teekay’s common stock commencing with the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Our quarterly dividend payment was primarily based on the cash flow contributions from our general partner and limited partner interests in Teekay LNG, together with other dividends received and cash flows provided by Teekay Parent's FPSO operations, after deductions for parent company level corporate general and administrative expenses, net interest expense, and any reserves determined to be required by our Board of Directors. Given our strategy to further strengthen our balance sheet, we believe that it is in the best interests of our shareholders to conserve more of our cash flows to reduce debt levels.

For similar reasons and in light of equity capital requirements for committed growth projects it had at that time, the Board of Directors of Teekay LNG’s general partner believed that it was in the best interests of Teekay LNG’s unitholders to conserve more of its internally generated cash flows to fund future growth projects and to reduce debt levels. Consequently, effective for the quarterly distribution for the fourth quarter of 2015, Teekay LNG reduced its quarterly cash distribution per common unit to $0.14 from $0.70. In 2019, as part of its balanced capital allocation strategy, Teekay LNG increased its quarterly cash distributions on common units by 36% in 2019 from $0.14 per common unit to $0.19 per common unit commencing with the quarterly distribution paid in May 2019. Teekay LNG intends to increase its quarterly cash distributions by 32% to $0.25 per common unit commencing with the distribution for the first quarter of 2020 payable in May 2020.

Effective May 2018, Teekay Tankers eliminated the payment of its minimum quarterly dividend of $0.24 per share (as adjusted for a reverse stock split on November 25, 2019) in order to preserve liquidity during the cyclical downturn of the tanker spot market. In November 2019, Teekay Tankers made the determination to transition away from its previous formulaic dividend policy, which was based on a payout of 30% to 50% of its quarterly adjusted net income, to primarily focus on building net asset value through balance sheet delevering and reducing its cost of capital, such that any future dividends will thereafter be paid when, as and if determined by the Board of Directors.

Pursuant to our dividend reinvestment program, holders of shares of our 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.


78


The timing and amount of our 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. Since we primarily are a holding company, with limited assets other than the ownership interests in our subsidiaries, our ability to pay dividends on the common stock depends on the earnings and cash flow of our subsidiaries and distributions from our subsidiaries. Our Board of Directors may change our common stock dividends at any time.

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 Islands that restrict the export or import of capital or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to holders of our securities that are non-resident and not citizens and otherwise not conducting business or transactions in the Marshall Islands.

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 offices are located in Canada. The following provides information regarding taxes to which a U.S. Holder of our common stock may be subject.
Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following is a discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to shareholders. This discussion is based upon 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 shareholders 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 shareholder in light of the shareholder’s circumstances, or to certain categories of shareholders 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 (by vote or value), 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. Partners in partnerships holding our common stock should consult their tax advisors to determine the appropriate tax treatment of the partnership’s ownership of our 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 shareholder is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local, non-U.S. 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, for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (i) a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien (or a U.S. Individual Holder), (ii) a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation, that was created or organized 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 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 allocated to the U.S Holder's common stock, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits allocated to the U.S. Holder's common stock will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in our common stock and thereafter as capital gain, which will be either long-term or short-term capital gain depending upon whether the U.S. Holder has held the common stock for more than one year. 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. For purposes of computing allowable foreign tax credits for U.S. federal income tax purposes, dividends received with respect to our common stock will be treated as foreign source income and generally will be treated as “passive category income.

Subject to holding period requirements and certain other limitations, dividends received with respect to our common stock by a U.S. Holder who is an individual, trust or estate (or a Non-Corporate U.S. Holder) will be treated as “qualified dividend income” that is taxable to such Non-Corporate U.S. Holder at preferential capital gain tax rates provided that we are not classified as 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 classified as a PFIC, as discussed below). Any dividends received with respect to our common stock not eligible for these preferential rates will be taxed as ordinary income to a Non-Corporate U.S. Holder.

Special rules may apply to any “extraordinary dividend” paid by us. Generally, an extraordinary dividend is, a dividend with respect to a share of common stock if the amount of the dividend is equal to or in excess of 10% of a common stockholder’s adjusted tax basis (or fair market value in certain circumstances) in such common stock. In addition, extraordinary dividends include dividends received within a one-year period that, in the aggregate, equal or exceed 20% of a stockholder’s adjusted tax basis (or fair market value in certain circumstances). If we pay an “extraordinary dividend” on our common stock that is treated as “qualified dividend income,” then any loss recognized by a Non-Corporate U.S. Holder from the sale or exchange of such common stock will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of the amount of such dividend.

Certain Non-Corporate U.S. Holders are subject to a 3.8% tax on certain investment income, including dividends. Non-Corporate U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this tax on their ownership of our common stock.
Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Common Stock
Subject to the discussion of PFICs below, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital 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 generally will be treated as (i) 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, or short -term capital gain or loss otherwise and (ii) U.S.-source gain or loss, as applicable, for foreign tax credit purposes. Non-Corporate U.S. Holders may be eligible for preferential rates of U.S. federal income tax in respect of long-term capital gains. A U.S. Holder’s ability to deduct capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

Certain Non-Corporate U.S. Holders are subject to a 3.8% tax on certain investment income, including capital gains from the sale or other disposition of stock. Non-Corporate U.S. 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 treated as 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, or are held for the production of, passive income. For purposes of these tests, “passive income” includes dividends, interest, 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.”


82


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 legal uncertainties arising from 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. Moreover, the market value of our common stock and our publicly traded subsidiaries may be treated as reflecting the value of our assets, and our publicly traded subsidiaries’ assets, respectively, at any given time. Therefore, a decline in the market value of our common stock, or our publicly traded subsidiaries, which is not within our control, may impact the determination of whether we are a PFIC. 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 generally 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” (or 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. A U.S. Holder who makes a timely QEF election (or an Electing Holder) must report 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 income inclusions would not be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income. The Electing Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our 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 our common stock and will not be taxed again once distributed. An Electing Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock. A U.S. Holder makes a QEF election with respect to any year that we are a PFIC by filing IRS Form 8621 with the 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 stock 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 taxable year in which we qualified as a “qualified electing fund” with respect to such U.S. Holder. In addition to the above rules, under very limited circumstances, a U.S. Holder may make a retroactive QEF election if the 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 common stock was 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 our 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 our 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.


83


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 for which the mark-to-market election is in effect and also to the extent the fair market value of the U.S. Holder’s common stock exceeds the 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 our common stock), and (ii) any gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock. Under these special rules:

the excess distribution or gain would be allocated ratably over the Non-Electing Holder’s aggregate holding period for our 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 taxpayer 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.

Additionally, for each year during which a U.S. Holder owns our common stock, we are a PFIC, and the total value of all PFIC stock that such U.S. Holder directly or indirectly owns exceeds certain thresholds, such U.S. Holder will be required to file IRS Form 8621 with its annual U.S. federal income tax return to report its ownership of our 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 common stock.

U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the PFIC rules, including the PFIC annual reporting requirements, as well as the applicability, availability and advisability of, and procedure for, making QEF, Mark-to-Market and other available elections with respect to us and our subsidiaries, and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of making such elections.

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 on the last day of a taxable year, or $75,000 at any time during that taxable year, may be required to report such assets on IRS Form 8938 with their U.S. federal income tax return for that taxable year. This reporting requirement does not apply to U.S. Individual Holders who report their ownership of our common stock under the PFIC annual reporting rules described above. Penalties apply for failure to properly complete and file IRS Form 8938. U.S. Individual Holders are encouraged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the possible application of this disclosure requirement to their investment in our common stock.
United States Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders
A beneficial owner of our common stock (other than a partnership, including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. Holder is a Non-U.S. Holder.
Distributions
In general, a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on distributions received from us with respect to our common stock unless the distributions are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment that the Non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States). If a Non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a trade or business within the United States and the distributions are deemed to be effectively connected to that trade or business, the Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on those distributions in the same manner as if it were a U.S. Holder.
Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Common Stock
In general, a Non-U.S. Holder is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain resulting from the disposition of our common stock unless (i) such gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment that the Non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States) or (ii) the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who 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. If a Non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a trade or business within the United States and the disposition of our common stock is deemed to be effectively connected to that trade or business, the Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the resulting gain in the same manner as if it were a U.S. Holder.

84


Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
In general, distributions taxable as dividends with respect to, or the proceeds from a sale, redemption or other taxable disposition of, our common stock held by a Non-Corporate U.S. Holder will be subject to information reporting requirements, unless such distribution taxable as a dividend is paid and received outside the United States by a non-U.S. payor or non-U.S. middleman (within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations), or such proceeds are effected through an office outside the U.S. of a broker that is considered a non-U.S. payor or non-U.S. middleman (within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations). These amounts also generally will be subject to backup withholding if the Non-Corporate U.S. Holder:

fails to timely provide an accurate taxpayer identification number;
is notified by the IRS that it has failed to report all interest or distributions required to be shown on its U.S. federal income tax returns; or
in certain circumstances, fails to comply with applicable certification requirements.

Information reporting and backup withholding generally will not apply to distributions taxable as dividends on our common stock to a Non-U.S. Holder if such dividend is paid and received outside the United States by a non-U.S. payor or non-U.S. middleman (within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations) or the Non-U.S. Holder properly certifies under penalties of perjury as to its non-U.S. status (generally on IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, or W-8EXP, as applicable) and certain other conditions are met or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

Payment of proceeds to a Non-U.S. Holder from a sale, redemption or other taxable disposition of our common stock to or through the U.S. office of a broker, or through a broker that is considered a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman (within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations), generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding, unless the Non-U.S. Holder properly certifies under penalties of perjury as to its non-U.S. status (generally on IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, or W-8EXP, as applicable) and certain other conditions are met or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, a Non-Corporate U.S. Holder or Non-U.S. Holder generally may obtain a credit for any amount withheld against its liability for U.S. federal income tax (and obtain a refund of any amounts withheld in excess of such liability) by accurately completing and timely filing a U.S. federal income tax return with the IRS.
Non-United States Tax Considerations
Marshall Islands Tax Considerations. Because we and our subsidiaries do not, and do not expect that we or they will, conduct business, transactions 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, holders of our common stock that are not citizens of and do not reside in, maintain offices in, or engage in business, operations, or transactions in the Republic of the Marshall Islands will not be subject to Marshall Islands taxation or withholding on dividends we make to our shareholders. In addition, such shareholders will not be subject to Marshall Islands stamp, capital gains or other taxes on the purchase, ownership or disposition of our common stock, and they will not be required by the Republic of the Marshall Islands to file a tax return relating to the common stock.

It is the responsibility of each shareholder to investigate the legal and tax consequences, under the laws of pertinent jurisdictions, including the Marshall Islands, of such shareholder's investment in us. Accordingly, each shareholder is urged to consult a tax counsel or other advisor with regard to those matters. Further, it is the responsibility of each shareholder to file all state, local and non-U.S., as well as U.S. federal tax returns that may be required of such shareholder.

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 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. Please read “Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 16 – 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, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Euro, Norwegian Krone and Singaporean Dollar. There is a risk that currency fluctuations will have a negative effect on the value of cash flows.

In some cases, we hedge a portion of our net foreign currency exposure for the following nine to 12 months by entering into foreign currency forward contracts. We generally do not hedge our net foreign currency exposure beyond three years forward.

As at December 31, 2019, we had the following foreign currency forward contracts:

Average contractual exchange rate represents the contracted 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. As at December 31, 2019, we had Euro-denominated term loans of 147.5 million Euros ($165.4 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 in connection with our NOK bond issuances, and pursuant to these swaps we receive the principal amount in 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 NOK based on NIBOR plus a margin for a payment of U.S. Dollar fixed interest. The purpose of the cross currency swaps is to economically hedge the foreign currency exposure on the payment of interest and principal of Teekay LNG's NOK-denominated bonds due in 2020, 2021 and 2023. In addition, the cross currency swaps economically hedge the interest rate exposure on the NOK bonds due in 2020, 2021 and 2023. We have not designated, for accounting purposes, these cross currency swaps as cash flow hedges of Teekay LNG's NOK-denominated bonds due in 2020, 2021 and 2023.

As at December 31, 2019, 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, NIBOR or EURIBOR. Significant increases in interest rates could adversely affect our operating margins, results of operations and our ability to service 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. Please read "Item 3 – Risk Factors" for more details on the potential phasing out of LIBOR as an interest “benchmark”.


86


We are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements. 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, 2019, that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, including our debt and obligations related to finance leases and interest rate swaps, but excluding any amounts related to our equity-accounted investments. For long-term debt and obligations related to finance leases, 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.

Rate refers to the weighted-average effective interest rate for our short-term debt, long-term debt and obligations related to finance leases, including the margin we pay on our floating-rate debt, which, as of December 31, 2019, ranged from 0.3% to 3.95% for U.S. Dollar-denominated debt. The average interest rate for our obligations related to finance leases is the weighted-average interest rate implicit in our obligations related to finance leases at the inception of the leases.
(2)
Interest payments on U.S. Dollar-denominated debt and interest rate swaps are based on LIBOR.
(3)
Interest payments on Euro-denominated debt and interest rate swaps are based on EURIBOR.
(4)
Euro-denominated and NOK-denominated amounts have been converted to U.S. Dollars using the prevailing exchange rate as of December 31, 2019.
(5)
Interest payments on Teekay LNG's NOK-denominated debt and on Teekay LNG's cross currency swaps are based on NIBOR. Teekay LNG's NOK-denominated debt has been economically hedged with cross currency swaps, to swap all interest and principal payments at maturity into U.S. Dollars, with the interest payments fixed at rates between 5.92% to 7.89%, and the transfer of principal fixed at $382.5 million upon maturities.
(6)
The amount of obligations related to finance leases represents the present value of minimum lease payments together with our purchase obligation, as applicable.
(7)
The average interest rate is the weighted-average interest rate implicit in the obligations related to fixed-rate finance leases at the inception of the leases.
(8)
The average variable receive rate for our U.S. Dollar-denominated interest rate swaps is set at 3-month or 6-month LIBOR.
(9)
The average variable receive rate for our Euro-denominated interest rate swaps is set at 1-month EURIBOR or 6-month EURIBOR.

Spot Tanker Market Rate Risk
We are exposed to fluctuations in spot tanker market rates which can adversely affect our revenues. To reduce its exposure, Teekay Tankers uses forward freight agreements (or FFAs) in non-hedge-related transactions to increase or decrease its exposure to spot market rates, within defined limits. Net gains and losses from FFAs are recorded within realized and unrealized losses on non-designated derivative instruments in our consolidated statements of loss. As at December 31, 2019, the fair value of the forward freight agreement was negative $0.1 million.

Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the 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 SEC’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, 2019.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all errors 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 adequate internal control over financial reporting for us.

Our internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our internal 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 our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based upon the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) 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.


88


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements even when determined to be effective and can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. However, based on the evaluation, management believes that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019.

Our independent auditors, KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. Their attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting can be found on page F-2 of this Annual Report.

There were no changes in our internal controls that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a – 15 (f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2019.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
TEEKAY CORPORATION

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Teekay Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of loss, comprehensive loss, cash flows, and changes in total equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes and financial statement schedule I (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, 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) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated April 8, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Change in Accounting Principles
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its accounting policies as of January 1, 2018 for revenue recognition due to the adoption of ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and has changed its accounting policies as of January 1, 2019 for leases due to the adoption of ASU 2016-02 Leases and for hedge accounting due to the adoption of ASU 2017-12 Derivatives and Hedging - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.

Basis for Opinion
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 audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
TEEKAY CORPORATION
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Teekay Corporation and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of loss, comprehensive loss, cash flows, and changes in total equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes and financial statement schedule I (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated April 8, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion
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 the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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 of internal control over financial reporting 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.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
An entity’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. An entity’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 entity; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the entity are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the entity; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the entity’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.

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


1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (or GAAP). They include the accounts of Teekay Corporation (or Teekay), which is incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, its wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries and any variable interest entities (or VIEs) of which Teekay is the primary beneficiary (collectively, the Company).

Certain of Teekay’s significant non-wholly-owned subsidiaries are consolidated in these financial statements even though Teekay owns less than a 50% ownership interest in the subsidiaries. These significant subsidiaries include the following publicly traded subsidiaries (collectively, the Public Subsidiaries): Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (or Teekay LNG); Teekay Tankers Ltd. (or Teekay Tankers); and until September 25, 2017, Altera Infrastructure L.P. (or Altera), previously known as Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. As of December 31, 2019, Teekay owned a 33.9% interest in Teekay LNG (33.1% December 31, 2018), including common units and its 2% general partner interest, and 28.7% of the capital stock of Teekay Tankers (28.8% December 31, 2018), 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. While Teekay owns less than 50% of Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers, Teekay maintains control of Teekay LNG by virtue of its 100% ownership interest in the general partner of Teekay LNG, which is a master limited partnership, and maintains control of Teekay Tankers through its ownership of a sufficient number of Class A common shares and Class B common shares, which provide increased voting rights, to maintain a majority voting interest in Teekay Tankers and thus consolidates these subsidiaries. Subsequent to September 25, 2017 and prior to May 8, 2019, Teekay owned a 13.8% interest in the common units of Altera and a 49% interest in the general partner of Altera, and accounted for its interest in Altera using the equity method. On May 8, 2019, Teekay sold to Brookfield Business Partners L.P. (or Brookfield) all of the Company's remaining interests in Altera, which included the Company’s 49% general partner interest, common units, warrants, and an outstanding $25 million loan from the Company to Altera (or the 2019 Brookfield Transaction).

The preparation of these consolidated 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. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

On November 25, 2019, Teekay Tankers effected a one-for-eight reverse stock split of Teekay Tankers' Class A and Class B common shares, which reduced the number of issued and outstanding Class A and B common shares of Teekay Tankers as at December 31, 2019 from approximately 232.0 million and 37.0 million to approximately 29.0 million and 4.6 million, respectively. All current and historical information regarding Teekay Tankers' Class A and Class B common shares in these consolidated financial statements reflect the one-for-eight reverse stock split.
Non-Controlling Interests
Where Teekay’s ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary is less than 100%, the non-controlling interests’ share of these non-wholly-owned subsidiaries is reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as a separate component of equity. The non-controlling interests’ share of the net income of these non-wholly-owned subsidiaries is reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of loss as a deduction from the Company’s net loss to arrive at net loss attributable to shareholders of Teekay.

The basis for attributing net income or loss of each non-wholly-owned subsidiary to the controlling interest and the non-controlling interests, with the exception of Teekay LNG and Altera, until its deconsolidation on September 25, 2017, was based on the relative ownership interests of the non-controlling interests compared to the controlling interest, which is consistent with how dividends and distributions were paid or were payable for these non-wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Teekay LNG and Altera each have limited partners and one general partner. Teekay LNG's general partner is wholly-owned by Teekay, and until September 25, 2017, Altera's general partner was wholly-owned by Teekay. For both Teekay LNG and Altera, the limited partners hold common units and preferred units. For each quarterly period (with regards to Altera, until its deconsolidation on September 25, 2017), the method of attributing Teekay LNG’s and Altera’s net income (loss) of that period to the non-controlling interests of Teekay LNG and Altera began by attributing net income (loss) of Altera and Teekay LNG to the non-controlling interests which hold 100% of the preferred units of Altera, except for Series D Preferred Units, of which the non-controlling interests held 74% until redemption in September 2017, and 100% of the preferred units of Teekay LNG based on the amount of preferred unit distributions declared for the quarterly period.

The remaining net income (loss) to be attributed to the controlling interest and the non-controlling interests of Teekay LNG and Altera was then divided into two components. The first component consists of the cash distribution that Teekay LNG or Altera will declare and pay to limited and general partners for that quarterly period (or the Distributed Earnings). The second component consists of the difference between (a) the net income (loss) of Teekay LNG or Altera that is available to be allocated to the common unitholders and the general partner of such entity and (b) the amount of the first component cash distribution (or the Undistributed Earnings). The portion of the Distributed Earnings that is allocated to the non-controlling interests is the amount of the cash distribution that Teekay LNG or Altera will declare and pay to the non-controlling interests for that quarterly period. The portion of the Undistributed Earnings that is allocated to the non-controlling interests is based on the relative ownership percentages of the non-controlling interests of Teekay LNG and Altera compared to the controlling interest. The controlling interests include both limited partner common units and the general partner interests.

Subsequent to the formation of Altera, Teekay sold certain vessels to Altera. Even though Altera was a non-wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary of Teekay at the date of the sales, all of the gain or loss on sales of these vessels was fully eliminated upon consolidation. Consequently, the portion of the gain or loss attributable to Teekay’s reduced interest in the vessels was deferred. The total unrecognized net deferred gain relating to the vessels previously sold from Teekay to Altera was $349.6 million. Upon deconsolidation of Altera, such amount was recognized as an increase to net loss attributable to non-controlling interests for the year ended December 31, 2017.

When Teekay’s non-wholly-owned subsidiaries declare dividends or distributions to their owners or require all of their owners to contribute capital to the non-wholly-owned subsidiaries, such amounts are paid to, or received from, each of the owners of the non-wholly-owned subsidiaries based on the relative ownership interests in the non-wholly-owned subsidiary. As such, any dividends or distributions paid to, or capital contributions received from, the non-controlling interests are reflected as a reduction (dividends or distributions) or an increase (capital contributions) in non-controlling interest in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

When Teekay’s non-wholly-owned subsidiaries issue additional equity interests to non-controlling interests, Teekay is effectively selling a portion of the non-wholly-owned subsidiaries. Consequently, the proceeds received by the subsidiaries from their issuance of additional equity interests are allocated between non-controlling interests and retained earnings in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The portion allocated to non-controlling interests on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets consists of the carrying value of the portion of the non-wholly-owned subsidiary that is effectively disposed of, with the remaining amount attributable to the controlling interests, which consists of the Company’s dilution gain or loss that is reflected in retained earnings.
Foreign currency
The consolidated financial statements are stated in U.S. Dollars and the functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar. 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 in foreign exchange (loss) gain in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss.

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

Revenues

The Company's floating production, storage and offloading (or FPSO) contracts, time charters and voyage charters include both a lease component, consisting of the lease of the vessel, and a non-lease component, consisting of the operation of the vessel for the customer. The Company has elected not to separate the non-lease component from the lease component for all such charters where the lease component is classified as an operating lease and certain other required criteria are met, and to account for the combined component as an operating lease in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (or ASC) 842 Leases. Time-charter contracts accounted for as direct financing leases and sales type leases contain both a lease component (lease of the vessel) and a non-lease component (operation of the vessel). The Company has allocated the contract consideration between the lease component and non-lease component on a relative standalone selling price basis. The standalone selling price of the non-lease component has been determined using a cost-plus approach, whereby the Company estimates the cost to operate the vessel using cost benchmarking studies prepared by a third party, when available, or internal estimates when not available, plus a profit margin. The standalone selling price of the lease component has been determined using an adjusted market approach, whereby the Company calculates a rate excluding the operating component based on a market time-charter rate from published broker estimates, when available, or internal estimates when not available. Given that there are no observable standalone selling prices for either of these two components, judgment is required in determining the standalone selling price of each component.

FPSO contracts and time charters

Revenues from FPSO contracts and time charters accounted for as operating leases are recognized by the Company on a straight-line basis daily over the term of the contract. If collectability of the receipts from these contracts accounted for as operating leases is not probable, revenue that would have otherwise been recognized is limited to the amount collected from the charterer.

Upon commencement of an FPSO contract or time charter accounted for as a sales-type lease or direct financing lease, the carrying value of the vessel is derecognized and the net investment in the lease is recognized, based on the fair value of the vessel. For direct financing leases and sales-type leases, the lease element of time charter hire receipts is allocated to the lease receivable and revenues over the term of the lease using the effective interest rate method. The Company assesses the net investment in the lease for impairment, based on the cash flows that the lessor would expect to receive from the lease receivable and the unguaranteed residual asset during and following the end of the remaining charter term. The non-lease element of receipts is recognized by the Company on a straight-line basis daily over the term of the contract. Drydock cost reimbursements allocable to the non-lease element of a time-charter are recognized on a straight-line basis over the period between the previous scheduled dry dock and the next scheduled dry dock. In addition, if collectability of non-lease receipts of payments from a customer is not probable, any such receipts are recognized as a liability unless the receipts are non-refundable and either the contract has been terminated or the Company has no remaining performance obligations.

The Company does not recognize revenues during days that the vessel is off-hire. When the FPSO contract or time charter contains a profit-sharing agreement, drydock cost reimbursements for time charters accounted for as operating leases, or other variable consideration, including performance-based metrics such as production tariffs and other operational performance measures, the Company recognizes this revenue in the period in which the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable charter hire payments are based occur. In addition, performance based revenue based on a multi-period performance-based metric that is allocable to non-lease services provided is estimated and to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved and recognize such estimate of revenue over the performance period. Where the charterer is responsible for the operation of the vessel, the Company offsets any vessel operating expenses it incurs against reimbursements from the charterer.
 
The Company's accounting policy for the reimbursement of drydocking expenditures was impacted by the adoption of ASU 2016-02 (see accounting pronouncements below).

Voyage charters

Revenues from voyage charters are recognized on a proportionate performance method. The Company uses a discharge-to-discharge basis in determining proportionate performance for all spot voyages that contain a lease and a load-to-discharge basis in determining proportionate performance for all spot voyages that do not contain a lease. 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. Revenues from the Company’s vessels performing voyage charters subject to revenue sharing agreements (or RSAs) follow the same revenue recognition policy as voyage charters not subject to RSAs. The difference between the net revenue earned by a vessel of the Company performing voyage charters subject to RSAs and its allocated share of the aggregate net contribution is reflected within voyage expenses. The consolidated balance sheets reflect in accrued revenue the accrued portion of revenues for those voyages that commence prior to the balance sheet date and complete after the balance sheet date, and reflect in deferred revenues or other long-term liabilities the deferred portion of revenues which will be earned in subsequent periods. Prior to the adoption of FASB’s Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (or ASU 2014-09) on January 1, 2018, the Company accounted for the net allocation from the RSAs as revenue and amounts due from the RSAs were recognized in accounts receivable.

Voyage expenses incurred that are recoverable from the Company’s customers in connection with its voyage charter contracts are reflected in voyage charter revenues and voyage expenses. The Company recast prior periods to reflect this presentation. This had the impact of increasing voyage charter revenues and voyage expenses by $20.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

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

Bareboat charters

Revenues from bareboat charters accounted for as operating leases are recognized by the Company on a straight-line basis daily over the term of the charter. If collectability of the bareboat hire receipts from bareboat charters accounted for as operating leases is not probable, revenue that would have otherwise been recognized is limited to the amount collected from the charterer.

Upon commencement of a bareboat charter accounted for as a sales-type lease, the carrying value of the vessel is derecognized and the net investment in the lease is recognized, based on the fair value of the vessel. For direct financing leases and sales-type leases, bareboat hire receipts are allocated to the lease receivable and voyage revenues over the term of the lease using the effective interest rate method. The Company assesses the net investment in the lease for impairment, based on the cash flows that the lessor would expect to receive from the lease receivable and the unguaranteed residual asset during and following the end of the remaining charter term.

Management fees and other
Revenues are also earned from the management of third-party vessels and LNG terminals. The Company recognizes fixed revenue on a straight-line basis over the duration of the management contract and variable revenue, such as monthly commissions, in the month they are earned. The Company presents the reimbursement of expenditures it incurs to provide the promised goods or services as revenue if it controls such goods or services before they are transferred to the customer and presents such reimbursement of expenditures as an offset against the expenditures if the Company does not control the goods or services them before they are transferred to the customer. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018, where the Company managed vessels owned by its equity-accounted investments and third parties, costs incurred by us for our seafarers and reimbursements thereof were presented on a net basis.
Operating expenses
Voyage expenses are all expenses unique to a particular voyage, including fuel expenses, port fees, cargo loading and unloading expenses, canal tolls, agency fees and commissions. In addition, the difference between the net revenue earned by a vessel of the Company performing voyage charters subject to an RSA and its allocated share of the aggregate net contribution is reflected within voyage expenses. The Company, as shipowner, pays voyage expenses under voyage charters. The Company’s customers pay voyage expenses under time charters, except when the vessel is off-hire during the term of a time charter in which case the Company pays voyage expenses.

Vessel operating expenses include crewing, ship management services, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, lube oils and communication expenses.

Voyage expenses and vessel operating expenses are recognized when incurred, except when the Company incurs pre-operational costs related to the repositioning of a vessel that relates directly to a specific customer contract, that generates or enhances resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future, whereby such costs are expected to be recovered via the customer contract. In this case, such costs are deferred and amortized over the duration of the customer contract.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company classifies all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents.
Restricted cash
The Company maintains restricted cash deposits relating to certain term loans, collateral for derivatives, project tenders, leasing arrangements, amounts received from charterers to be used only for dry-docking expenditures and emergency repairs and other obligations.
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, 2019 and 2018. The consolidated balance sheets reflect in accounts receivable, any amounts where the right to consideration is conditioned upon the passage of time, and, in prepaid expenses and other, any accrued revenue where the right to consideration is conditioned upon something other than the passage of time.
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.

Interest costs capitalized to vessels and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, aggregated $0.3 million, $14.8 million and $36.3 million, respectively.

Vessel capital modifications include the addition of new equipment or certain modifications to the vessel that are aimed at improving or increasing the operational efficiency and functionality of the asset. This type of expenditure is capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the modification. Expenditures covering recurring routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

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, 30 years for liquefied petroleum gas (or LPG) carriers and 35 years for LNG carriers, commencing the date the vessel is delivered from the shipyard, or a shorter period if regulations prevent the Company from operating the vessels for 25 years, 30 years, or 35 years, respectively. FPSO units are depreciated using an estimated useful life of 25 years commencing the date the unit is installed at the oil field and is in a condition that is ready to operate. Depreciation of vessels and equipment, excluding amortization of dry-docking expenditures, for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017 aggregated $239.9 million, $244.0 million and $397.6 million, respectively. Depreciation includes depreciation of all owned vessels and amortization of vessels accounted for as finance leases.

The Company monitors the useful life of its FPSOs as market conditions evolve. During 2019, the Company considered factors related to the ongoing use of the FPSOs and has reassessed the remaining useful life of the Petrojarl Banff FPSO to be 11 months as at October 1, 2019, the commencement date for the change in estimate. This is based on CNR's advisement of their intention to decommission the Banff field and remove the Petrojarl Banff FPSO and the Apollo Spirit FSO from the field at the expected contract termination date. The effect of this change in estimate was an increase in depreciation expense and a decrease in net income by $1.7 million or a decrease of $0.02 per basic and diluted common unit for 2019. In early 2020, CNR provided formal notice to decommission the Banff field and remove the Petrojarl Banff FPSO and Apollo Spirit FSO from the field in 2020.

Generally, the Company dry docks each conventional oil tanker and gas carrier every two and a half to five years. FPSO units are generally not dry docked and maintenance is performed on these units while at sea. The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred during dry docking and amortizes those costs on a straight-line basis from the completion of a dry docking to the estimated completion of the next dry docking. The Company includes in capitalized dry-docking costs those costs incurred as part of the dry docking 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.

The following table summarizes the change in the Company’s of capitalized dry-docking costs from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019:

Vessels and equipment that are intended to be held and used in the Company's business 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 estimated 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 is based on second-hand sale and purchase data.

Vessels and equipment that are “held for sale” are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and are not depreciated while classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses and related liabilities attributable to vessels and equipment classified as held for sale continue to be recognized as incurred.

Other loan receivables

The Company’s advances to equity-accounted for investments and any other investments in loan receivables are recorded at cost. The Company analyzes its loans for collectability during each reporting period. A loan loss provision is recognized 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 if a loan loss provision is required 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 (when available) any information provided by the debtor regarding its ability to repay the loan and the fair value of the underlying collateral. When a loan loss provision is recognized, the Company measures the amount of the loss provision based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate and recognizes the resulting loss in the consolidated statements of loss. The carrying value of the loan will be adjusted each subsequent reporting period to reflect any changes in the present value of estimated future cash flows, which may result in increases or decreases to the loan loss provision.

Equity-accounted investments
The Company’s investments in certain joint ventures and other partially-owned entities in which the Company does not control the entity but has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the entity 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 equity-accounted for investments 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 its carrying value. If an equity-accounted for investment experiences an other-than-temporary decline in value and if the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, the carrying value is written down to its estimated fair value and the resulting impairment is recorded in the Company's consolidated statements of loss.
Debt issuance costs
Debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability, including fees, commissions and legal expenses, are deferred and presented as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability and amortized on an effective interest rate method over the term of the relevant loan. Debt issuance costs which are not attributable to a specific debt liability or where the debt issuance costs exceed the carrying value of the related debt liability (primarily undrawn revolving credit facilities) are deferred and presented as non-current assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense in the Company's consolidated statements of loss.

Fees paid to substantially amend a non-revolving credit facility are associated with the extinguishment of the old debt instrument and included in determining the debt extinguishment gain or loss to be recognized. Other costs incurred with third parties directly related to the extinguishment are deferred and presented as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the replacement debt instrument and amortized using the effective interest rate method. In addition, any unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the old debt instrument are written off. If the amendment is considered not to be a substantial amendment, then the fees would be associated with the replacement or modified debt instrument and, along with any existing unamortized premium, discount and unamortized debt issuance costs, would be amortized as an adjustment of interest expense over the remaining term of the replacement or modified debt instrument using the effective interest method. Other related costs incurred with third parties directly related to the modification, other than the loan amendment fee, are expensed as incurred.

Fees paid to amend a revolving credit facility are deferred and amortized over the term of the modified revolving credit facility. If the borrowing capacity of the revolving credit facility increases as a result of the amendment, unamortized debt issuance costs of the original revolving credit facility are amortized over the remaining term of the modified revolving credit facility. If the borrowing capacity of the revolving credit facility decreases as a result of the amendment, a proportionate amount, based on the reduction in borrowing capacity, of the unamortized debt issuance costs of the original revolving credit facility are written off and the remaining amount is amortized over the remaining term of the modified revolving credit facility.
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 each period end, 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 types of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges (See Note 16).

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 gains and losses on the derivative that are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness are recognized immediately in earnings. The Company does not apply hedge accounting if it is determined that the hedge is not effective or will no longer be effective, the derivative is sold or exercised, or the hedged item is sold, repaid or no longer probable of occurring.

For derivative financial instruments designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value 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 (e.g. interest expense) in the Company's consolidated statements of loss. If a cash flow hedge is terminated or de-designated and the originally hedged item is still considered probable 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 in the Company's consolidated statements of loss. If the hedged items are no longer probable of occurring, amounts recognized in total equity are immediately transferred to the corresponding earnings line item in the Company's consolidated statements of loss.

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

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, non-designated bunker fuel swap contracts and forward freight agreements, and non-designated foreign currency forward contracts are recorded in realized and unrealized loss on non-designated derivative instruments in the Company's consolidated statements of loss. Gains and losses from the Company’s non-designated cross currency swaps are recorded in foreign exchange (loss) gain in the Company's consolidated statements of loss.
Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodwill is not amortized but is 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. A reporting unit is a component of the Company that constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by management. When goodwill is reviewed for impairment, the Company will measure the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, with the maximum impairment not to exceed the carrying value of 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. Goodwill impairment is measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill.

Customer-related intangible assets are amortized over the expected life of a customer contract or the expected duration that the customer relationships are estimated to contribute to the cash flows of the Company. The amount amortized each year is weighted based on the projected revenue to be earned under the contracts or projected revenue to be earned as a result of the customer relationships. 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.
Lease obligations and right-of-use assets
For its chartered-in vessels and office leases, as of the lease commencement date, the Company recognizes a liability for its lease obligation, initially measured at the present value of lease payments not yet paid, and an asset for its right to use the underlying asset, initially measured equal to the lease liability and adjusted for lease payments made at or before lease commencement, lease incentives, and any initial direct costs. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The initial recognition of the lease obligation and right-of-use asset excludes short-term leases for the Company's chartered-in vessels and office leases. Short-term leases are leases with an original term of one year or less, excluding those leases with an option to extend the lease for greater than one year or an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is deemed reasonably certain to exercise. The initial recognition of this lease obligation and right-of-use asset excludes variable lease payments that are based on the usage or performance of the underlying asset and the portion of payments related to non-lease elements of vessel charters.

For those leases classified as operating leases, lease interest and right-of-use asset amortization in aggregate result in a straight-line expense profile that is presented in time charter hire expense for vessels and general and administrative expense for office leases, unless the right-of-use asset becomes impaired. For those leases classified as finance leases, the Company uses the effective interest rate method to subsequently account for the lease liability, whereby interest is recognized in interest expense in the Company's consolidated statements of loss. For those leases classified as finance leases, the right-of-use asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the vessel, with such amortization included in depreciation and amortization in the Company's consolidated statements of loss. Variable lease payments that are based on the usage or performance of the underlying asset are recognized as an expense when incurred, unless achievement of a specified target triggers the lease payment, in which case an expense is recognized in the period achievement of the target is considered probable.

The Company recognizes the expense from short-term leases and any non-lease components of vessels time chartered from other owners, on a straight-line basis over the firm period of the charters. The expense is included in time charter hire expense for vessel charters and general and administrative expenses for office leases.

The right-of-use asset is assessed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the right-of-use 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 right-of-use asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value for the Company's impaired right-of-use assets from in-chartered vessels is determined using a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value. Subsequent to an impairment, a right-of-use asset related to an operating lease is amortized on a straight-line basis over its remaining life.

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

The Company has determined that all of its time-charter-in contracts contain both a lease component (lease of the vessel) and a non-lease component (operation of the vessel). The Company has allocated the contract consideration between the lease component and non-lease component on a relative standalone selling price basis. The standalone selling price of the non-lease component has been determined using a cost-plus approach, whereby the Company estimates the cost to operate the vessel using cost benchmarking studies prepared by a third party, when available, or internal estimates when not available, plus a profit margin. The standalone selling price of the lease component has been determined using an adjusted market approach, whereby the Company calculates a rate excluding the operating component based on a market time-charter rate information from published broker estimates, when available, or internal estimates when not available. Given that there are no observable standalone selling prices for either of these two components, judgment is required in determining the standalone selling price of each component. The bareboat charter contracts contain only a lease component.

Vessels sold and leased back by the Company, where the Company has a fixed price repurchase obligation or other situations where the leaseback would be classified as a finance lease, are accounted for as a failed sale of the vessel. For such transactions, the Company does not derecognize the vessel sold and continues to depreciate the vessel as if it was the legal owner. Proceeds received from the sale of the vessel are recognized as an obligation related to finance lease and bareboat charter hire payments made by the Company to the lessor are allocated between interest expense and principal repayments on the obligation related to finance lease.

In periods prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (or ASU 2016-02) (see note 2), the Company's accounting policy was to recognize the expense from vessels time-chartered from other owners, which was included in time-charter hire expense, on a straight-line basis over the firm period of the charters.
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 the costs associated with the restoration of the environment surrounding the facility and removal and disposal of all production equipment. The Company expects to begin incurring costs for this obligation at the end of the contract under which the FPSO unit currently operates, which, as of December 31, 2019, was estimated to be in mid-2020. The costs will be incurred over an approximate period of two years thereafter. The ARO will be covered in part by contractual payments to be received from FPSO contract counterparties. As at December 31, 2019, the ARO and associated receivable, which is recorded in goodwill, intangibles, and other non-current assets, were $30.9 million and $8.4 million, respectively (2018 $27.8 million and $7.5 million, respectively).

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.
Repurchase of common stock
The Company accounts for repurchases of common stock by decreasing common stock by the par value of the stock repurchased. In addition, the excess of the repurchase price over the par value is allocated between additional paid in capital and retained earnings. The amount allocated to additional paid in capital is the pro-rata share of the capital paid in and the balance is allocated to retained earnings.
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 is substantially reflected in general and administrative expense.
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 consolidated 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 determined that it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only if 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 by the taxing authorities, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from such positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

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. With the exception of certain of the Company’s employees in Australia, the Company’s employees are generally eligible to participate in defined contribution plans. These plans allow for the employees to contribute a certain percentage of their base salaries into the plans. The Company matches all or a portion of the employees’ contributions, depending on how much each employee contributes. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, the amount of cost recognized for the Company’s defined contribution pension plans was $8.1 million, $7.9 million and $11.8 million, respectively.

The Company also has defined benefit pension plans (or the Benefit Plans) covering certain of its employees in Australia. 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 is recognized as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes 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. The Company's funded status was a deficit of $1.7 million at December 31, 2019 and a surplus of $0.7 million at December 31, 2018.
Loss per common share
The computation of basic 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.

Accounting pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (or FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (or ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 required an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This update creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of the contract(s) which includes (i) identifying the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (v) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company elected to apply ASU 2014-09 only to those contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of January 1, 2018. The Company has identified the following differences on adoption of ASU 2014-09:

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

Prior to January 1, 2018, the Company presented the net allocation for its vessels participating in RSAs in existence at that time as net pool revenues. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company has determined, for accounting purposes, that it is the principal in voyages its vessels perform that are subject to the RSAs. As such, the revenue from those voyages is presented in revenues and the difference between this amount and the Company's net allocation from the RSA is presented as voyage expenses. This had the effect of increasing both revenues and voyage expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 by $292.6 million. There was no cumulative impact to opening equity as at January 1, 2018.

The Company manages vessels owned by its equity-accounted investments and third parties. Upon the adoption of ASU 2014-09, costs incurred by the Company for its seafarers are presented as vessel operating expenses and the reimbursement of such expenses are presented as revenue, instead of such amounts being presented on a net basis. This had the effect of increasing both revenues and vessel operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 by $82.9 million. There was no cumulative impact to opening equity as at January 1, 2018.

The Company previously presented all accrued revenue as a component of accounts receivable. The Company has determined that if the right to such consideration is conditioned upon something other than the passage of time, such accrued revenue should be presented apart from accounts receivable. This had the effect of increasing prepaid expenses and other and decreasing accounts receivable by $20.2 million as at December 31, 2018. There was no cumulative impact to opening equity as at January 1, 2018.

In certain cases, the Company incurs pre-operational costs relating directly to a specific customer contract, that generate or enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future, whereby such costs are expected to be recovered via the customer contract. Such costs are now deferred and amortized over the duration of the customer contract. The Company previously expensed such costs as incurred unless the costs were directly reimbursable by the contract or if they were related to the mobilization of offshore assets to an oil field. This change had the effect of increasing other non-current assets by $3.5 million, investments in and loans to equity-accounted joint ventures by $2.2 million and equity by $5.7 million as at December 31, 2018. This change did not have a material effect on the consolidated statements of loss for the year ended December 31, 2018. The cumulative increase to opening equity as at January 1, 2018 was $4.1 million.

The Company at times will enter into charter contracts that have annual performance measures that may result in the Company receiving additional consideration each year based on the annual performance measure result for such year. The Company previously recognized such consideration upon completion of the annual performance period. Upon adoption of ASU 2014-09, the portion of such consideration allocable to the non-lease element of charter contracts is included in the determination of the contract consideration and recognized over the annual performance period. There was no impact for the year ended December 31, 2018 and no cumulative impact to opening equity as at January 1, 2018 as the end of the annual performance period is December 31st.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. For lessees, leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. ASU 2016-02 requires lessors to classify leases as a sales-type, direct financing or operating lease. A lease is a sales-type lease if any one of five criteria are met, each of which indicate that the lease, in effect, transfers control of the underlying asset to the lessee. If none of those five criteria are met, but two additional criteria are both met, indicating that the lessor has transferred substantially all of the risks and benefits of the underlying asset to the lessee and a third party, the lease is a direct financing lease. All leases that are not sales-type leases or direct financing leases are operating leases.

ASU 2016-02 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. FASB issued an additional accounting standards update in July 2018 that made further amendments to accounting for leases, including allowing the use of a transition approach whereby a cumulative effect adjustment is made as of the effective date, with no retrospective effect and providing an optional practical expedient to lessors not to separate lease and non-lease components of a contract if certain criteria are met. The Company has elected to use this new optional transitional approach. In addition, the Company early adopted ASU 2019-01, which provides an exception for lessors who are not manufacturers or dealers to determine the fair value of leased property using the underlying asset's cost, instead of fair value. To determine the cumulative effect adjustment, the Company has not reassessed lease classification, initial direct costs for any existing leases, or whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases. The Company identified the following differences:

The adoption of ASU 2016-02 resulted in a change in the accounting method for the lease portion of the daily charter hire for the chartered-in vessels by the Company and the Company's equity-accounted joint ventures accounted for as operating leases with firm periods of greater than one year, as well as a small number of office leases. Under ASU 2016-02, the Company and the Company's equity-accounted joint ventures recognized an operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet for these charters and office leases based on the present value of future minimum lease payments, whereas previously no right-of-use asset or lease liability was recognized. This resulted in an increase in the Company's and its equity-accounted joint ventures' assets and liabilities. The pattern of expense recognition of chartered-in vessels remains substantially unchanged from the prior policy, unless the right-of-use asset becomes impaired. On January 1, 2019, a right-of-use asset of $170.0 million and a lease liability of $170.0 million were recognized for these chartered-in vessels. In addition, the existing carrying value of the Company's chartered-in vessels was reclassified from other non-current assets ($13.7 million) and from other long-term liabilities ($0.9 million) to a right-of-use asset as at January 1, 2019. The Company also recognized a right-of-use asset and liability for its office leases as at January 1, 2019, which is presented in other non-current assets and accrued liabilities and other, respectively. On December 31, 2019, the right-of-use asset and lease liability relating to the Company's chartered-in vessels were $148.6 million and $148.6 million, respectively, and the right-of-use asset and lease liability relating to office leases were $13.7 million and $13.9 million, respectively, and $0.2 million was reflected as a foreign exchange loss for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The adoption of ASU 2016-02 resulted in the recognition of revenue from the reimbursement of scheduled dry-dock expenditures, where a charter contract is accounted for as an operating lease, occurring upon completion of the scheduled dry-dock, instead of ratably over the period between the previous scheduled dry-dock and the next scheduled dry-dock. This change decreased investment in and loans to equity-accounted investments by $0.1 million and decreased total equity by $0.1 million as at December 31, 2019. The cumulative decrease to opening equity as at January 1, 2019 was $0.1 million.

The adoption of ASU 2016-02 resulted in direct financing and sales-type lease payments received being presented as an operating cash inflow instead of an investing cash inflow in the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows. Direct financing and sales-type lease payments received during the year ended December 31, 2019 was $17.1 million (December 31, 2018$10.9 million).

The adoption of ASU 2016-02 resulted in sale and leaseback transactions where the seller lessee has a fixed price repurchase option or other situations where the leaseback would be classified as a finance lease being accounted for as a failed sale of the vessel and a failed purchase of the vessel by the buyer lessor. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-02, such transactions were accounted for as a completed sale and a completed purchase. Consequently, for such transactions, the Company did not derecognize the vessel sold and continues to depreciate the vessel as if it was the legal owner. Proceeds received from the sale of the vessel were recognized as a financial liability and bareboat charter hire payments made by the Company to the lessor were allocated between interest expense and principal repayments on the financial liability. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 resulted in the sale and leaseback of the Yamal Spirit, the Torben Spirit, the Cascade Spirit and the Aspen Spirit during 2019 being accounted for as failed sales, and unlike the 22 vessels sold and leased back in similar transactions in prior years, the Company was not considered as holding a variable interest in the buyer lessor entity and thus, did not consolidate the buyer lessor entities (see Note 11).

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (or ASU 2016-13). ASU 2016-13 introduces a new credit loss methodology, which requires earlier recognition of credit losses, while also providing additional transparency about credit risk. This new credit loss methodology utilizes a lifetime “expected credit loss” measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for loans, held-to-maturity debt securities and other receivables at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are subsequently adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. This methodology replaces the multiple existing impairment methods in current GAAP, which generally require that a loss be incurred before it is recognized. This update is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020, with a modified-retrospective approach. The Company expects that its net investments in direct financing leases, sales-type leases, loans to equity-accounted investments, guarantees of indebtedness of equity-accounted investments and receivables related to non-operating lease revenue arrangements will be in-scope to ASU 2016-13. Consequently, the Company expects that on January 1, 2020, it will decrease the carrying value of these instruments, some of which are held by the Company's equity-accounted investments, resulting in a corresponding reduction to total equity on the date of adoption. The Company is in the process of finalizing its credit loss methodology and calculations.

In August 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging – Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (or ASU 2017-12). ASU 2017-12 eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires, for qualifying hedges, the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income and reclassified to earnings in the same income statement line as the hedged item when the hedged item affects earnings. The guidance also modifies the accounting for components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, eases documentation and assessment requirements and modifies certain disclosure requirements. ASU 2017-12 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. This change decreased accumulated other comprehensive loss by $1.6 million as at January 1, 2019, and correspondingly increased opening equity as at January 1, 2019 by $1.6 million.

In December 2019, the FASB issued Income Taxes (or ASU 2019-12) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 eliminate certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences, among other changes. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new guidance.
2. Revenues
The Company’s primary source of revenue is chartering its vessels and offshore units to its customers. The Company utilizes four primary forms of contracts, consisting of time charter contracts, voyage charter contracts, bareboat charter contracts and contracts for FPSO units. The Company also generates revenue from the management and operation of vessels owned by third parties and by equity-accounted investments as well as providing corporate management services to such entities.

Time Charters
Pursuant to a time charter, the Company charters a vessel to a customer for a period of time, generally one year or more. The performance obligations within a time charter contract, which will include the lease of the vessel to the charterer as well as the operation of the vessel, are satisfied as services are rendered over the duration of such contract, as measured using the time that has elapsed from commencement of performance. In addition, any expenses that are unique to a particular voyage, including any fuel expenses, port fees, cargo loading and unloading expenses, canal tolls, agency fees and commissions, are the responsibility of the customer, as long as the vessel is not off-hire.

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

Hire is typically invoiced monthly in advance for time charter contracts, based on a fixed daily hire amount. However, certain sources of variability exist. Those include penalties, such as those that relate to periods the vessels are off-hire and where minimum speed and performance metrics are not met. In addition, certain time charters contracts contain provisions that allow the Company to be compensated for increases in the Company’s costs during the term of the charter. Such provisions may be in the form of annual hire rate adjustments for changes in inflation indices or interest rates or in the form of cost reimbursements for vessel operating expenditures or dry-docking expenditures. Finally, in a small number of charters, the Company may earn profit share consideration, which occurs when actual spot tanker rates earned by the vessel exceed certain thresholds for a period of time. The Company does not engage in any specific tactics to minimize vessel residual value risk.

Voyage Charters
Voyage charters are charters for a specific voyage that are usually priced on a current or "spot" market rate. The performance obligations within a voyage charter contract, which will typically include the lease of the vessel to the charterer as well as the operation of the vessel, are satisfied as services are rendered over the duration of the voyage, as measured using the time that has elapsed from commencement of performance. In addition, any expenses that are unique to a particular voyage, including fuel expenses, port fees, cargo loading and unloading expenses, canal tolls, agency fees and commissions, are the responsibility of the vessel owner. The Company’s voyage charters will normally contain a lease; however, judgment is necessary to determine whether this is the case based upon the decision-making rights the charterer has under the contract. Consideration for such contracts is fixed or variable, depending on certain conditions. Delays caused by the charterer result in additional consideration. Payment for the voyage is not due until the voyage is completed. The duration of a single voyage will typically be less than three months. As such, accrued revenue at the end of a period will be invoiced and paid in the subsequent period. The amount of accrued revenue at any point in time will depend on the percent completed of each voyage in progress as well as the freight rate agreed for those specific voyages. The amount of accrued revenue has increased significantly in 2019 as a result of changes to the RSAs in 2019 whereby the Company is now a counterparty to the voyage charters for all the vessels subject to an RSA. The Company does not engage in any specific tactics to minimize vessel residual value risk due to the short-term nature of the contracts.

Bareboat Charters
Pursuant to a bareboat charter, the Company charters a vessel to a customer for a fixed period of time, generally one year or more, at rates that are generally fixed. However, the customer is responsible for operation and maintenance of the vessel with its own crew as well as any expenses that are unique to a particular voyage, including any fuel expenses, port fees, cargo loading and unloading expenses, canal tolls, agency fees and commissions. If the vessel goes off-hire due to a mechanical issue or any other reason, the monthly hire received by the vessel owner is normally not impacted by such events. The performance obligations within a bareboat charter, which will include the lease of the vessel to the charterer, are satisfied over the duration of such contract, as measured using the time that has elapsed from commencement of the lease. Hire is typically invoiced monthly in advance for bareboat charters, based on a fixed daily hire amount.

FPSO Contracts
Pursuant to an FPSO contract, the Company charters an FPSO unit to a customer for a period of time, generally more than one year. The performance obligations within an FPSO contract, which include the lease of the FPSO unit to the charterer as well as the operation of the FPSO unit, are satisfied as services are rendered over the duration of such contract, as measured using the time that has elapsed from commencement of performance. Hire is typically invoiced monthly in arrears, based on a fixed daily hire amount. In certain FPSO contracts, the Company is entitled to a lump sum amount due upon commencement of the contract and may also be entitled to termination fees if the contract is canceled early. While the fixed daily hire amount may be the same over the term of the FPSO contract, the daily hire amount may increase or decrease over the duration of the FPSO contract. As a result of the Company accounting for compensation from such charters on a straight-line basis over the duration of the charter, FPSO contracts where revenue is recognized before the Company is entitled to such amounts under the FPSO contracts will result in the Company recognizing a contract asset and FPSO contracts where revenue is recognized after the Company is entitled to such amounts under the FPSO contracts will result in the Company recognizing deferred revenue.

Certain sources of consideration variability exist within FPSO contracts. Those include penalties, such as those that relate to periods where production on the FPSO unit is interrupted. In addition, certain FPSO contracts may contain provisions that allow the Company to be compensated for increases in the Company’s costs to operate the unit during the term of the contract. Such provisions may be in the form of annual hire rate adjustments for changes in inflation indices or in the form of cost reimbursements for vessel operating expenditures incurred. Finally, the Company may earn additional compensation from monthly production tariffs, which are based on the volume of oil produced, the price of oil, as well as other monthly or annual operational performance measures. Variable consideration of the Company's contracts is typically recognized as incurred as either such revenue is allocated and accounted for under lease accounting requirements or alternatively such consideration is allocated to distinct periods under a contract during which such variable consideration was incurred.

The Company does not engage in any specific tactics to minimize residual value risk. Given the uncertainty involved in oil field production estimates and the result impact on oil field life, FPSO contracts typically will include extension options or options to terminate early.

Management Fees and Other
The Company also generates revenue from the management and operation of vessels owned by third parties and by equity-accounted investments as well as providing corporate management services to such entities. Such services may include the arrangement of third-party goods and services for the vessel’s owner. The performance obligations within these contracts will typically consist of crewing, technical management, insurance and potentially commercial management. The performance obligations are satisfied concurrently and consecutively rendered over the duration of the management contract, as measured using the time that has elapsed from commencement of performance. Consideration for such contracts will generally consist of a fixed monthly management fee, plus the reimbursement of crewing costs for vessels being managed. Management fees are typically invoiced monthly.

Operating Leases
As at December 31, 2019, the minimum scheduled future rentals to be received by the Company in each of the next five years for the lease and non-lease elements related to time charters, bareboat charters and FPSO contracts that were accounted for as operating leases were approximately $680.0 million (2020), $586.9 million (2021), $484.6 million (2022), $334.9 million (2023) and $259.3 million (2024).

As at December 31, 2018, the minimum scheduled future rentals to be received by the Company in each of the next five years for the lease and non-lease elements related to time charters, bareboat charters and FPSO contracts that were accounted for as operating leases were approximately $630.8 million (2019), $524.6 million (2020), $457.5 million (2021), $382.0 million (2022) and $291.8 million (2023).

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, 2019 or after December 31, 2018, as applicable, revenue from unexercised option periods of contracts that existed on December 31, 2019 or on December 31, 2018, as applicable, revenue from vessels in the Company’s equity-accounted investments, or variable or contingent revenues accounted for under ASC 842 Leases. In addition, minimum scheduled future operating lease revenues presented in this paragraph have been reduced by estimated off-hire time for any periodic maintenance. The amounts may vary given unscheduled future events such as vessel maintenance.

The net carrying amount of the vessels employed on time charter contracts, bareboat charter contracts and FPSO contracts that have been accounted for as operating leases at December 31, 2019, was $3.1 billion (2018 $3.4 billion, 2017 $3.1 billion). At December 31, 2019, the cost and accumulated depreciation of such vessels were $3.9 billion (2018 $4.3 billion, 2017 $4.1 billion) and $0.8 billion (2018 $0.8 billion, 2017 $1.0 billion), respectively.

Net Investment in Direct Financing Leases and Sales-Type Leases
Teekay LNG owns a 70% ownership interest in Teekay BLT Corporation (or the Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture), which is a party to operating leases whereby the Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture leases two LNG carriers (or the Tangguh LNG Carriers) to a third party, which in turn leases the vessels back to the joint venture. The time charters for the two Tangguh LNG carriers are accounted for as direct financing leases. The Tangguh LNG Carriers commenced their time charters with their charterers in 2009.

In 2013, Teekay LNG acquired two 155,900-cubic meter LNG carriers, the WilPride and WilForce, from Norway-based Awilco LNG ASA (or Awilco) and chartered them back to Awilco on five- and four-year fixed-rate bareboat charter contracts (plus a one-year extension option), respectively, with Awilco holding a fixed-price purchase obligation at the end of the charters. The bareboat charters with Awilco were accounted for as direct financing leases. However, in June 2017, Teekay LNG agreed to amend the charter contracts with Awilco to defer a portion of charter hire and extend the bareboat charter contracts and related purchase obligations on both vessels to December 2019. The amendments had the effect of deferring charter hire of between $10,600 per day and $20,600 per day per vessel from July 1, 2017 until December 2019, with such deferred amounts added to the purchase obligation amounts. As a result of the contract amendments, both of the charter contracts with Awilco were reclassified as operating leases upon the expiry of their respective original contract terms in November 2017 and August 2018.

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

In September 2019, Awilco exercised its option to extend both charters from December 31, 2019 by up to 60 days with the ownership of both vessels transferring to Awilco at the end of this extension. In October 2019, Awilco obtained credit approval for a financing facility that would provide funds necessary for Awilco to satisfy its purchase obligation of the two LNG carriers. As a result, both vessels were derecognized from the consolidated balance sheets and sales-type lease receivables were recognized based on the remaining amounts owing to Teekay LNG, including the purchase obligations. Teekay LNG recognized a gain of $14.3 million upon derecognition of the vessels for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was included in write-down and loss on sale of vessels in the Company's consolidated statements of loss (see Note 19). Awilco purchased both vessels in January 2020 (see Note 24(a)).

In addition, the 21-year charter contract for the Bahrain Spirit floating storage unit (or FSU) commenced in September 2018 and is accounted for as a direct finance lease.

As at December 31, 2019, estimated minimum lease payments to be received by Teekay LNG related to its direct financing and sales-type leases in each of the next five succeeding fiscal years were approximately $324.7 million (2020), $64.2 million (2021), $64.2 million (2022), $64.0 million (2023), $64.3 million (2024) and an aggregate of $534.6 million thereafter. The leases are scheduled to end between 2020 and 2039.

As at December 31, 2018, estimated minimum lease payments to be received by Teekay LNG related to its direct financing leases in each of the next five years were approximately $63.9 million (2019), $64.3 million (2020), $64.2 million (2021), $64.2 million (2022), $64.0 million (2023) and an aggregate of $576.5 million thereafter.

Contract Liabilities

The Company enters into certain customer contracts that result in situations where the customer will pay consideration upfront for performance to be provided in the following month or months. These receipts are contract liabilities and are presented as deferred revenue until performance is provided. As at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were contract liabilities of $32.4 million and $26.4 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company recognized $26.4 million and $29.5 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the respective periods.
3. Segment Reporting
The Company allocates capital and assesses performance from the separate perspectives of its two publicly-traded subsidiaries Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers (together, the Daughter Entities), Teekay and its remaining subsidiaries (or Teekay Parent), and, prior to the completion of the 2019 Brookfield Transaction (see Note 4), its equity-accounted investment in Altera, as well as from the perspective of the Company's lines of business. The primary focus of the Company’s organizational structure, internal reporting and allocation of resources by the chief operating decision maker is on the Daughter Entities, Teekay Parent and, prior to the completion of the 2019 Brookfield Transaction, its equity-accounted investment in Altera (the Legal Entity approach), and its segments are presented accordingly on this basis. The Company (which excludes Altera) has three primary lines of business: (1) offshore production (FPSO units), (2) LNG and LPG carriers, and (3) conventional tankers. The Company manages these businesses for the benefit of all stakeholders. The Company incorporates the primary lines of business within its segments, as in certain cases there is more than one line of business in each Daughter Entity and the Company believes this information allows a better understanding of the Company’s performance and prospects for future net cash flows.

4. Deconsolidation and Sale of Altera
On September 25, 2017, Teekay, Altera and Brookfield finalized a strategic partnership (or the 2017 Brookfield Transaction) which resulted in the deconsolidation of Altera as of that date. Although Teekay owned less than 50% of Altera, Teekay maintained control of Altera until September 25, 2017, by virtue of its 100% ownership interest in the general partner of Altera, which is a master limited partnership. In connection with Brookfield's acquisition of a 49% interest in Altera's general partner, Altera Infrastructure GP L.L.C. (or Altera GP), Teekay and Brookfield entered into an amended limited liability company agreement whereby Brookfield obtained certain participatory rights in the management of Altera GP, which resulted in Teekay deconsolidating Altera for accounting purposes on September 25, 2017.

Subsequent to the closing of the 2017 Brookfield Transaction, Teekay had significant influence over Altera and accounted for its investment in Altera using the equity method until May 2019. On May 8, 2019, Teekay sold to Brookfield, for proceeds of $100 million, all of the Company's remaining interests in Altera, which included the Company’s 49% general partner interest, common units, warrants, and an outstanding $25 million loan from the Company to Altera. Altera is no longer a related party of Teekay subsequent to the sale (see Note 14).

In July 2018, Brookfield exercised its option to acquire an additional 2% of ownership interests in Altera GP from Teekay in exchange for 1.0 million Altera common unit warrants. After exercising this option, Brookfield held a 51% interest in the general partner and Teekay owned a 49% interest in Altera GP. As a result of the 2019 Brookfield Transaction, Teekay had no interest in the common units of Altera as at December 31, 2019 (13.8% December 31, 2018).

The following table shows the accounting impact from the deconsolidation of Altera on September 25, 2017. On such date, the Company recognized both the net cash proceeds it received from Brookfield and the fair value of its retained interests in Altera, including common units, warrants, and vessel charters with Altera, and derecognized the carrying value of both Altera’s net assets and the non-controlling interest in Altera, with the difference between the amounts recognized and derecognized being the loss on deconsolidation.

(104,788
)

The $150.1 million fair value of Teekay's retained investment in Altera, which consisted of approximately 14% in its outstanding common units and a 51% interest in Altera GP, was determined with reference to the market price of Altera's common units on September 25, 2017. The $14.8 million fair value of vessel charters was determined using an income approach and with reference to market rates, contract term, and a discount rate of 10%.
Subsequent to the formation of Altera, Teekay sold certain vessels to Altera. As Altera was a non-wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary of Teekay at the date of the sales, all of the gain or loss on sales of these vessels was fully eliminated upon consolidation. Consequently, the portion of the gain or loss attributable to Teekay’s reduced interest in the vessels was deferred. The total unrecognized net deferred gain relating to the vessels previously sold from Teekay to Altera was $349.6 million. Upon deconsolidation of Altera, such amount was recognized as an increase to net loss attributable to non-controlling interests for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Until December 31, 2017, Teekay and its wholly-owned subsidiaries directly and indirectly provided substantially all of Altera’s ship management, commercial, technical, strategic, business development and administrative service needs. On January 1, 2018, as part of the 2017 Brookfield Transaction, Altera acquired a 100% ownership interest in seven subsidiaries (or the Transferred Subsidiaries) of Teekay at carrying value. The Company recognized a loss of $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 related to the sale of the Transferred Subsidiaries and the resultant release of accumulated pension losses from accumulated other comprehensive income, which is recorded in loss on deconsolidation of Altera on the Company's consolidated statements of loss.

5. Equity Financing Transactions of the Daughter Entities
On November 25, 2019, Teekay Tankers effected a one-for-eight reverse stock split of Teekay Tankers' Class A and Class B common shares, which reduced the number of issued and outstanding Class A and B common shares of Teekay Tankers as at December 31, 2019 from approximately 232.0 million and 37.0 million to approximately 29.0 million and 4.6 million, respectively.

In December 2018, Teekay LNG announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a common unit repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $100 million of Teekay LNG's common units. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Teekay LNG repurchased 1.9 million and 0.3 million of its common units for a total cost of $25.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively, under its common unit repurchase program.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company’s publicly-traded subsidiaries, Teekay Tankers and Teekay LNG, and prior to the 2017 Brookfield Transaction on September 25, 2017, Altera, completed the following public offerings and private placements of equity securities.

In May 2017, Teekay Tankers issued Class B common stock to the Company as consideration for its acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in TTOL.

During 2017, Altera issued common units (including the general partner's 2% proportionate capital contribution) as a payment-in-kind for the distributions on Altera's 8.60% Series C-1 Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Units (or the Series C-1 Preferred Units) and 10.50% Series D Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Units (or the Series D Preferred Units) and on Altera's common units and general partner interest held by subsidiaries of Teekay.
In June 2016, Altera agreed with Teekay that, until the Altera's NOK bonds maturing in 2018 had been repaid, all cash distributions (other than with respect to distributions, if any, on incentive distribution rights) to be paid by Altera to Teekay or its affiliates, including Altera's general partner, would instead be paid in common units or from the proceeds of the sale of common units. During 2017, Altera issued Teekay 2.4 million common units (including the general partner's 2% proportionate capital contribution) as a payment-in-kind for the distributions on Altera's Series D Preferred Units, common units and general partner interest held by subsidiaries of Teekay. During 2017, Altera issued common units (including the general partner's 2% proportionate capital contribution) as a payment-in-kind for the interest due on Altera's $200 million loan due to Teekay. Altera issued Teekay 1.7 million common units (including the general partner's 2% proportionate capital contribution) as a payment-in-kind for the loan interest.
(3)
In November 2017, Teekay Tankers issued Class A common shares to the shareholders of TIL as consideration for the Teekay Tankers' acquisition of the remaining 88.7% interest (including Teekay Parent's 8.2% interest) in TIL. The shares had an approximate value of $151.3 million, or $1.70 per share, when the purchase price was agreed between the parties.
(4)
Number of shares for historical equity financing transactions have been adjusted for Teekay Tankers' one-for-eight reverse stock split completed in November 2019.

As a result of the public offerings and equity placements of Teekay Tankers and Teekay LNG, and Altera prior to the 2017 Brookfield Transaction on September 25, 2017, the Company recorded an increase to retained earnings of $23.5 million in 2017. This amount represents Teekay’s dilution gains from the issuance of units and shares by these consolidated subsidiaries.

6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In January 2020,Teekay Tankers reached an agreement to sell the non-US portion of its ship-to-ship support services business and its LNG terminal management business for $26 million, subject to adjustment for the final amounts of cash and other working capital present on the closing date. The sale is expected to close in the second quarter of 2020. All related assets to these businesses, including associated goodwill of $5.6 million and intangible assets of $6.9 million are classified as held-for-sale as at December 31, 2019 (see Note 24).

In-Process Revenue Contracts
As part of the Company’s previous acquisition of FPSO units from Petrojarl ASA (subsequently renamed Teekay Petrojarl AS, or Teekay Petrojarl), the Company assumed a certain FPSO contract with terms that were less favorable than the then prevailing market terms. At the time of the acquisition, the Company recognized a liability based on the estimated fair value of this contract and service obligation. The Company is amortizing the remaining liability over the estimated remaining term of its associated contract on a weighted basis, based on the projected revenue to be earned under the contract.

Amortization of in-process revenue contracts for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $5.9 million (2018 $14.5 million, 2017 $27.2 million), which is included in revenues on the consolidated statements of loss. Amortization of in-process revenue contracts following 2019 is expected to be $5.9 million (2020), $5.9 million (2021) and $5.9 million (2022).
8. Short-Term Debt
In November 2018, Teekay Tankers Chartering Pte. Ltd. (or TTCL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teekay Tankers, entered into a working capital loan facility agreement (or the Working Capital Loan), which initially provided available aggregate borrowings of up to $40.0 million for TTCL, and which was subsequently increased to $80.0 million, effective December 2019. Proceeds of the Working Capital Loan are used to provide working capital in relation to certain vessels subject to the RSAs. The Working Capital Loan had an initial maturity date in August 2019 but is continually extended for further periods of six months thereafter until the lender gives notice in writing that no further extensions shall occur. Interest payments are based on LIBOR plus a margin of 3.5%. The Working Capital Loan is collateralized by the assets of TTCL.

The Working Capital Loan requires Teekay Tankers to maintain its paid-in capital contribution under the RSAs and the retained distributions of the RSA counterparties in an amount equal to the greater of (a) an amount equal to the minimum average capital contributed by the RSA counterparties per vessel in respect of the RSA (including cash, bunkers or other working capital contributions and amounts accrued to the RSA counterparties but unpaid) and (b) a minimum capital contribution ranging from $20.0 million to $30.0 million based on the amount borrowed. As at December 31, 2019, $50.0 million (December 31, 2018nil) was owing under this facility, and the interest rate on the facility was 5.0% (December 31, 2018nil). As of the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, Teekay Tankers was in compliance with all covenants in respect of this facility.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had five revolving credit facilities (or the Revolvers) available, one of which is scheduled to mature in November 2020. The five credit facilities, as at such date, provided for aggregate borrowings of up to $890.7 million, of which $287.6 million was undrawn. Interest payments are based on LIBOR plus margins. The margins ranged between 1.40% and 3.95% as at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The aggregate amount available under the Revolvers was scheduled to decrease by $401.6 million (2020), $321.4 million (2021) and $167.8 million (2022) (see Note 24(c)(f) for refinancings completed subsequent to December 31, 2019). The Revolvers are collateralized by first-priority mortgages granted on 35 of the Company’s vessels, together with other related security, and include a guarantee from Teekay or its subsidiaries for all but one of the Revolvers' outstanding amounts. Included in other related security are 25.2 million common units in Teekay LNG and 5.0 million Class A common shares in Teekay Tankers to secure a $150 million credit facility.

The Company’s 8.5% senior unsecured notes are due January 15, 2020 with an original aggregate principal amount of $450 million (or the Original Notes). The Original Notes issued on January 27, 2010 were sold at a price equal to 99.2% of par. During 2014, the Company repurchased $57.3 million of the Original Notes. In November 2015, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $200 million of the Company’s 8.5% senior unsecured notes due on January 15, 2020 (or the Additional Notes) at 99.01% of face value, plus accrued interest from July 15, 2015. The Additional Notes were an additional issuance of the Company’s Original Notes (collectively referred to as the 2020 Notes). The Additional Notes were issued under the same indenture governing the Original Notes and are fungible with the Original Notes. The discount on the 2020 Notes is accreted through the maturity date of the notes using the effective interest rate of 8.67% per year. During 2018, the Company repurchased $84.1 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company repurchased an additional $10.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes.

In May 2019, the Company completed a cash tender offer and purchased $460.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes and issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior secured notes at par due November 2022 (or the 2022 Notes). The Company recognized a loss of $10.6 million on the purchase of the 2020 Notes for the year ended December 31, 2019 which is included in other loss in the consolidated statements of loss. The 2022 Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by certain of our subsidiaries and are secured by first-priority liens on two of Teekay's FPSO units, a pledge of the equity interests in Teekay's subsidiary that owns all of Teekay's common units of Teekay LNG Partners L.P. and all of Teekay’s Class A common shares of Teekay Tankers Ltd. and a pledge of the equity interests in Teekay's subsidiaries that own Teekay Parent's three FPSO units.

In January 2020, the Company repaid all remaining 2020 Notes at maturity.

The 2020 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 2020 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 2020 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 2020 Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the 2020 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.

The Company may redeem the 2022 Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to November 15, 2020 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes to be redeemed, plus the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such 2022 Notes and (ii) the excess, if any, of the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the 2022 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 over the principal amount of such 2022 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The Company may redeem the 2022 Notes in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to a percentage of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, as follows: 104.625% at any time on or after November 15, 2020, but prior to November 15, 2021; 102.313% at any time on or after November 15, 2021, but prior to August 15, 2022; and 100% at any time on or after August 15, 2022.

On January 26, 2018, Teekay Parent completed a private offering of $125.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5% Convertible Senior Notes due January 15, 2023 (the Convertible Notes). The Convertible Notes are convertible into Teekay’s common stock, initially at a rate of 85.4701 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes. This represents an initial effective conversion price of $11.70 per share of common stock. The initial conversion price represents a premium of 20% to the concurrent common stock offering price of $9.75 per share. On issuance of the Convertible Notes, $104.6 million of the net proceeds was reflected in long-term debt, including unamortized discount, and is being accreted to $125.0 million over its five-year term through interest expense. The remaining amount of the net proceeds of $16.1 million was allocated to the conversion feature and reflected in additional paid-in capital.

Teekay LNG has a total of Norwegian Krone (or NOK) 3.1 billion in senior unsecured bonds issued in the Norwegian bond market at December 31, 2019 that mature through August 2023. As at December 31, 2019, the total carrying amount of the senior unsecured bonds was $347.2 million (December 31, 2018$353.0 million). The bonds are listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The interest payments on the bonds are based on NIBOR plus a margin, which ranges from 3.70% to 6.00%. The Company entered into cross currency rate swaps to swap all interest and principal payments of the bonds into U.S. Dollars, with the interest payments fixed at rates ranging from 5.92% to 7.89%, and the transfer of the principal amount fixed at $382.5 million upon maturity in exchange for NOK 3.1 billion (see Note 16).

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had 10 U.S. Dollar-denominated term loans outstanding, which totaled $1.3 billion in aggregate principal amount (December 31, 2018$1.5 billion). Interest payments on the term loans are based on LIBOR plus a margin, of which two of the term loans have additional tranches with a weighted average fixed rate of 4.48%. At December 31, 2019, the margins ranged between 0.30% and 3.25% and at December 31, 2018, the margins ranged between 0.30% and 3.50%. Term loans require payments in quarterly or semi-annual installments commencing three or six months after delivery of each newbuilding vessel financed thereby, and eight of the term loans have balloon or bullet repayments due at maturity. The term loans are collateralized by first-priority mortgages on 24 (December 31, 201824) of the Company’s vessels, together with certain other security.

Teekay LNG has two Euro-denominated term loans outstanding, which, as at December 31, 2019, totaled 147.5 million Euros ($165.4 million) (December 31, 2018169.0 million Euros ($193.8 million)). Teekay LNG is servicing 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the margins ranged between 0.60% and 1.95%. The Euro-denominated term loans reduce in monthly and semi-annual payments with varying maturities through 2024, are collateralized by first-priority mortgages on two of Teekay LNG’s vessels, together with certain other security, and are guaranteed by Teekay LNG and one of its subsidiaries.

Both Euro-denominated term loans and NOK-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 NOK-denominated bonds, the Company’s Euro-denominated term loans, and restricted cash, and the change in the valuation of the Company’s cross currency swaps, the Company recognized a foreign exchange loss during 2019 of $13.6 million (2018 – gain of $6.1 million, 2017 – loss of $26.5 million).

The weighted-average interest rate on the Company’s aggregate long-term debt as at December 31, 2019 was 4.6% (December 31, 20185.1%). This rate does not include the effect of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements (see Note 16).

Teekay has guaranteed obligations pursuant to certain credit facilities of Teekay Tankers. As at December 31, 2019, the aggregate outstanding balance on such credit facilities was $145.0 million.

The aggregate annual long-term debt principal repayments required to be made by the Company subsequent to December 31, 2019, after giving effect to Teekay LNG's revolving credit facility refinancing completed in March 2020 (see Note 24 (c)) and including the impact of Teekay Tankers' debt refinancing completed in January 2020 (see Note 24(f)), are $0.5 billion (2020), $0.6 billion (2021), $0.6 billion (2022), $0.4 billion (2023), $0.3 billion (2024) and $0.4 billion (thereafter).

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, 2019, these ratios ranged from 138% to 281% compared to their minimum required ratios of 115% to 135%. The vessel values used in these ratios are the appraised values provided by third parties where available or prepared by the Company based on second-hand sale and purchase market data. Changes in the LNG/LPG carrier and conventional tanker markets could negatively affect the Company’s compliance with these ratios.

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

Two of Teekay Tankers’ term loans, which are scheduled to mature in 2021, are guaranteed by Teekay. One of the term loans contains covenants that require Teekay Parent to maintain the greater of (a) free cash (cash and cash equivalents) and undrawn committed revolving credit lines with at least six months to maturity of at least $50.0 million and (b) an aggregate of free cash and undrawn committed revolving credit lines with at least six months to maturity of at least 5.0% of Teekay’s total consolidated debt (excluding the debt Teekay LNG and its subsidiaries and Teekay Tankers and its subsidiaries which is non-recourse to Teekay). This term loan has been repaid and settled in the first quarter of 2020. The other term loan requires Teekay Parent and Teekay Tankers collectively to maintain the greater of (a) free cash (cash and cash equivalents) of at least $100.0 million and (b) an aggregate of free cash and undrawn committed revolving credit lines with at least six months to maturity of at least 7.5% of Teekay's total consolidated debt (excluding the debt of Teekay LNG and its subsidiaries). In addition, certain loan agreements require Teekay Tankers to maintain minimum liquidity (cash, cash equivalents and undrawn committed revolving credit lines with at least six months to maturity) of $35.0 million and at least 5.0% of Teekay Tankers' total consolidated debt.
Certain loan agreements require Teekay LNG to maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth, and minimum liquidity (cash, cash equivalents and undrawn committed revolving credit lines with at least six months to maturity) of $35.0 million, and not to exceed a maximum level of financial leverage.

As at the date this Annual Report on Form 20-F was filed, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its credit facilities and other long-term debt.
10. Operating Leases
The Company charters-in vessels from other vessel owners on time-charter-in and bareboat charter contracts, whereby the vessel owner provides use of the vessel to the Company, and, in the case of time-charter-in contracts, also operates the vessel for the Company. A time-charter-in contract is typically for a fixed period of time, although in certain cases the Company may have the option to extend the charter. The Company typically pays the owner a daily hire rate that is fixed over the duration of the charter. The Company is generally not required to pay the daily hire rate for time-charters during periods the vessel is not able to operate.

With respect to time-charter-in and bareboat charter contracts with an original term of more than one year, for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred $99.0 million of time-charter and bareboat hire expense related to these time-charter and bareboat charter contracts, of which $68.2 million was allocable to the lease component, and $30.8 million was allocable to the non-lease component. The amounts allocable to the lease component approximate the cash paid for the amounts included in lease liabilities and are reflected as a reduction in operating cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019. Three of Teekay Tankers' time-charter-in contracts each have an option to extend the charter for an additional one-year term. Since it is not reasonably certain that Teekay Tankers will exercise the options, the lease components of the options are not recognized as part of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. As at December 31, 2019, the weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate for these time-charter-in and bareboat charter contracts were 2.6 years and 6.1%, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred $18.0 million of time-charter hire expense related to time-charter-in contracts classified as short-term leases.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, Teekay Tankers chartered in two LR2 vessels and one Aframax vessel for periods of 24 months each, Teekay LNG extended the charter-in contract for one LNG carrier for a period of 21 months, and Teekay Parent extended the charter-in contract for one FSO unit for a period of 12 months, which resulted in the Company recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities totaling $47.7 million and $47.7 million, respectively.

Teekay LNG

As at December 31, 2019, Teekay LNG was a party to finance leases on nine LNG carriers (December 31, 2018 – eight LNG carriers). Upon delivery of these nine LNG carriers between February 2016 and January 2019, Teekay LNG sold these vessels to third parties (or Lessors) and leased them back under 7.5- to 15-year bareboat charter contracts ending in 2026 through to 2034. At the inception of these leases, the weighted-average interest rate implicit in these leases was 5.1%. The bareboat charter contracts are presented as obligations related to finance leases on the Company's consolidated balance sheets and have purchase obligations at the end of the lease terms.

Teekay LNG consolidates seven of the nine Lessors for financial reporting purposes as VIEs. Teekay LNG understands that these vessels and lease operations are the only assets and operations of the Lessors. Teekay LNG operates the vessels during the lease term and as a result, is considered to be, under GAAP, the Lessors' primary beneficiary. The sale and leaseback of two of Teekay LNG's vessels are accounted for as failed sales. Teekay LNG is not considered as holding a variable interest in these buyer Lessor entities and thus, does not consolidate these entities.

The liabilities of the seven Lessors considered as VIEs are loans and are non-recourse to Teekay LNG. The amounts funded to the seven Lessors in order to purchase the vessels materially match the funding to be paid by Teekay LNG's subsidiaries under the sale-

leaseback transactions. As a result, the amounts due by Teekay LNG's subsidiaries to the seven Lessors considered as VIEs have been included in obligations related to finance leases as representing the Lessors' loans.

During January 2019, Teekay LNG sold the Yamal Spirit and leased it back for a period of 15 years, with an option granted to Teekay LNG to extend the lease term by an additional five years. Teekay LNG is required to purchase the vessel at the end of the lease term. During September 2019, Teekay LNG refinanced the Torben Spirit by acquiring the Torben Spirit from its original Lessor and then selling the vessel to another Lessor and leasing it back for a period of 7.5 years. Teekay LNG is required to purchase the vessel at the end of the lease term. As a result of this refinancing transaction, Teekay LNG recognized a loss of $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 on the extinguishment of the original finance lease which was included in other loss in the consolidated statements of loss.

The obligations of Teekay LNG under the bareboat charter contracts for the nine LNG carriers are guaranteed by Teekay LNG. In addition, the guarantee agreements require Teekay LNG to maintain minimum levels of tangible net worth and aggregate liquidity, and not to exceed a maximum amount of leverage. As at December 31, 2019, Teekay LNG was in compliance with all covenants in respect of the obligations related to its finance leases.

As at December 31, 2019, the remaining commitments related to the finance leases of these nine LNG carriers (December 31, 2018 – eight LNG carriers), including the amounts to be paid for the related purchase obligations, approximated $1.9 billion (December 31, 2018 – $1.7 billion), including imputed interest of $470.9 million (December 31, 2018 – $435.3 million), repayable from 2020 through 2034, as indicated below:

As at December 31, 2018, Teekay LNG was a party, as lessee, to a finance lease on one Suezmax tanker, the Toledo Spirit. As at December 31, 2018, the remaining commitments related to the finance lease for the tanker, including the related purchase obligation, approximated $24.2 million, including imputed interest of $0.2 million, repayable in 2019. In January 2019, the charterer, who is also the owner, sold the Toledo Spirit to a third party, which resulted in Teekay LNG returning the vessel to its owner and the concurrent extinguishment of the obligation related to finance lease.

Teekay Tankers

In May 2019, Teekay Tankers completed a $63.7 million sale-leaseback financing transaction with a financial institution relating to two of Teekay Tankers' Suezmax tankers, the Aspen Spirit and Cascade Spirit.

In November 2018, Teekay Tankers completed an $84.7 million sale-leaseback financing transaction with a financial institution relating to four of Teekay Tankers' vessels, consisting of two Aframax tankers, one Suezmax tanker and one Long Range 2 (or LR2) product tanker, the Explorer Spirit, Navigator Spirit, Pinnacle Spirit and Trysil Spirit.

In September 2018, Teekay Tankers completed a $156.6 million sale-leaseback financing transaction with a financial institution relating to six of its Aframax tankers, the Blackcomb Spirit, Emerald Spirit, Garibaldi Spirit, Peak Spirit, Tarbet Spirit and Whistler Spirit.

In July 2017, Teekay Tankers completed a $153.0 million sale-leaseback financing transaction with a financial institution relating to four of its Suezmax tankers, the Athens Spirit, the Beijing Spirit, the Moscow Spirit and the Sydney Spirit.

Under these arrangements, Teekay Tankers transferred the vessels to subsidiaries of the financial institutions (or collectively, the Lessors), and leased the vessels back from the Lessors on bareboat charters ranging from 9 to 12-year terms. Teekay Tankers has the option to purchase each of the 16 tankers at various times starting between July 2020 and November 2021 until the end of their respective lease terms. Teekay Tankers is also obligated to purchase six of the Aframax vessels and two of the Suezmax vessels upon maturity of their respective bareboat charters.

Teekay Tankers consolidates 14 of the 16 Lessors for financial reporting purposes as VIEs. Teekay Tankers understands that these vessels and lease operations are the only assets and operations of the Lessors. Teekay Tankers operates the vessels during the lease terms, and as a result, is considered to be the Lessor's primary beneficiary.

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

The liabilities of the 14 Lessors are loans that are non-recourse to Teekay Tankers. The amounts funded to the 14 Lessors in order to purchase the vessels materially match the funding to be paid by Teekay Tankers' subsidiaries under these lease-back transactions. As a result, the amounts due by Teekay Tankers' subsidiaries to the 14 Lessors considered as VIEs have been included in obligations related to finance leases as representing the Lessors' loans.

Subsequent to the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, sale and leaseback transactions where the lessee has a purchase obligation are treated as a failed sale. Consequently, Teekay Tankers has not derecognized the Aspen Spirit and Cascade Spirit and continues to depreciate the assets as if it was the legal owner. Proceeds received from the sale are set up as an obligation related to finance lease and bareboat charter hire payments made by Teekay Tankers to the Lessor are allocated between interest expense and principal repayments on the obligation related to finance lease.

The bareboat charters related to each of these 16 vessels require that Teekay Tankers maintain minimum liquidity (cash, cash equivalents and undrawn committed revolving credit lines with at least six months to maturity) of $35.0 million and at least 5.0% of Teekay Tankers' consolidated debt and obligations related to finance leases (excluding applicable security deposits reflected in restricted cash – non-current on the Company's consolidated balance sheets).

Four of the bareboat charters require Teekay Tankers to maintain, for each vessel, a hull coverage ratio of 90% of the total outstanding principal balance during the first three years of the lease period and 100% of the total outstanding principal balance thereafter. As at December 31, 2019, this ratio was approximately 122% (December 31, 2018101%).
Six of the bareboat charters require Teekay Tankers to maintain, for each vessel, a hull coverage ratio of 78% of the total outstanding principal balance during the first year of the lease period, 78% for the second year, 80% for the following two years and 90% of the total outstanding principal balance thereafter. As at December 31, 2019, this ratio was approximately 115% (December 31, 201891%).
Four of the bareboat charters also require Teekay Tankers to maintain, for each vessel, a hull overage ratio of 100% of the total outstanding principal balance. As at December 31, 2019, this ratio was approximately 158% (December 31, 2018122%).
The remaining two bareboat charters also require Teekay Tankers to maintain, for each vessel, a minimum hull coverage ratio of 75% of the total outstanding principal balance during the first year of the lease period, 78% for the second year, 80% for the following two years and 90% of the total outstanding principal balance thereafter. As at December 31, 2019, this ratio was approximately 109% (December 31, 2018nil).
Such requirements are assessed annually with reference to vessel valuations compiled by one or more agreed upon third parties. As of the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, Teekay Tankers was in compliance with all covenants in respect of the obligations related to finance leases.

The weighted average interest rate on Teekay Tankers’ obligations related to finance leases as at December 31, 2019 was 7.6% (December 31, 20187.5%).

As at December 31, 2019, the total remaining commitments under the 16 finance leases of Teekay Tankers' Suezmax, Aframax and LR2 product tankers, including the amounts to be paid for the related purchase obligations, approximated $601.7 million (December 31, 2018$557.1 million), including imputed interest of $186.9 million (December 31, 2018 $181.8 million), repayable from 2020 through 2030, as indicated below:

12. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
a) 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 and restricted cash – The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximates their carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.


F - 34

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

Vessels and equipment and assets held for sale – The estimated fair value of the Company’s vessels and equipment and assets held for sale was determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values and contractual sales prices. 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 if it were to sell the vessel. Such appraisal is normally completed by the Company. Other assets held for sale include working capital balances and the fair value of such amounts generally approximate their carrying value.

Loans to equity-accounted investments 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 maturities and the current credit worthiness of the Company. Alternatively, if the fixed-rate and variable-rate long-term debt is held for sale the fair value is based on the estimated sales price.

Long-term obligation related to finance leases – The fair value of the Company's long-term obligation related to finance leases is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Derivative instruments – The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the reporting date, taking into account, as applicable, fixed interest rates on interest rate swaps, current interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and the current credit worthiness of both the Company and the derivative counterparties. The estimated amount is the present value of future cash flows. The Company transacts all of its derivative instruments through investment-grade rated financial institutions at the time of the transaction and requires no collateral from these institutions. 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.

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

(1)
The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap and cross currency swap agreements at December 31, 2019 includes $3.4 million (December 31, 2018$3.2 million) accrued interest expense which is recorded in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
(2)
In the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s loans to and investments in equity-accounted investments form the aggregate carrying value of the Company’s interests in entities accounted for by the equity method. The fair value of the individual components of such aggregate interests is not determinable.

Stock purchase warrants – Prior to the 2019 Brookfield Transaction, Teekay held 15.5 million common unit warrants (or the Brookfield Transaction Warrants) issued by Altera to Teekay in connection with the 2017 Brookfield Transaction (see Note 4) and 1,755,000 warrants to purchase common units of Altera issued to Teekay in connection with Altera's private placement of Series D Preferred Units in June 2016 (or the Series D Warrants). In May 2019, Teekay sold to Brookfield all of the Company’s remaining interests in Altera, which included, among other things, both the Brookfield Transaction Warrants and Series D Warrants.

Changes in fair value during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 for the Company’s Brookfield Transaction Warrants and the Series D Warrants, which were measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), are as follows:

13. Capital Stock
The authorized capital stock of Teekay at December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, was 25 million shares of Preferred Stock, with a par value of $1 per share, and 725 million shares of Common Stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share. As at December 31, 2019, 100,784,422 shares of Common Stock (2018 100,435,210) were issued and outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock issued.

In April 2019, Teekay filed a continuous offering program (or COP) under which Teekay may issue shares of its common stock, at market prices up to a maximum aggregate amount of $63.0 million. No shares of common stock have been issued under this COP as of December 31, 2019.
During 2018, Teekay completed a public offering of 10.0 million common shares priced at $9.75 per share, raising net proceeds of approximately $93.0 million and issued 1.1 million shares of common stock as part of a COP initiated in 2016 generating net proceeds of $10.7 million.

Dividends may be declared and paid out of surplus, 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.

On July 2, 2010, the Company amended and restated its Shareholder 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 (or 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

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

“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 shareholders that owned in excess of 15% of the Company’s common stock when the Rights Agreement was amended. Once exercisable, each Right held by a person other than the “acquiring person” would entitle the holder to purchase, at the then-current exercise price, a number of shares of common stock of the Company having a value of twice the exercise price of the Right. In addition, if the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction after any such event, each holder of a Right would then be entitled to purchase, at the then-current exercise price, shares of the acquiring company’s common stock having a value of twice the exercise price of the Right. The amended Rights Agreement will expire on July 1, 2020, unless the expiry date is extended or the Rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company.
Stock-based compensation
In March 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (or the 2013 Plan) and suspended the 1995 Stock Option Plan and the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (collectively referred to as the Plans). As at December 31, 2019, the Company had reserved 5,606,429 (2018 5,777,326) shares of Common Stock pursuant to the 2013 Plan, for issuance upon the exercise of options or equity awards granted or to be granted.

During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company granted options under the 2013 Plan to acquire up to 2,525,113, 1,048,916 and 732,314 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, 2019, expire between March 8, 2020 and March 14, 2029, ten years after the date of each respective grant.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity and related information for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, are as follows:

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during 2019 was $1.53 per option (2018 $4.21, 2017 $4.71). 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 65.2% in 2019, 64.8% in 2018 and 62.4% in 2017; expected life of 5.5 years in 2019, 5.5 years in 2018 and 6 years in 2017; dividend yield of 5.9% in 2019, 2.5% in 2018 and 2.5% in 2017; risk-free interest rate of 2.5% in 2019, 2.6% in 2018, and 2.0% in 2017; and estimated forfeiture rate of 6.0% in 2019, 7.4% in 2018 and 7.0% in 2017. 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 and employees of the Company. Each restricted stock unit and restricted stock award is equal 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 three years from the grant date. Upon vesting, the value of the restricted stock units and restricted stock awards are paid to each grantee in the form of shares.

During 2019, the Company granted 808,391 restricted stock units with a fair value of $3.2 million, to certain of the Company’s employees. During 2019, a total of 880,871 restricted stock units with a market value of $18.1 million vested and that amount, net of withholding taxes, was paid to grantees by issuing 483,431 shares of common stock. During 2018, the Company granted 625,878 restricted stock units with a fair value of $5.4 million, to certain of the Company’s employees. During 2018, a total of 563,588 restricted stock units with a market value of $15.2 million vested and that amount, net of withholding taxes, was paid to grantees by issuing 311,124 shares of common stock. During 2017, the Company granted 349,175 restricted stock units with a fair value of $3.6 million, to certain of the Company’s employees. During 2017, a total of 129,106 restricted stock units with a market value of $3.2 million vested and that amount, net of withholding taxes, was paid to grantees by issuing 73,078 shares of common stock. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded an expense of $3.3 million (2018 $3.0 million, 2017 $4.0 million) related to the restricted stock units and performance share units.

During 2019, the Company also granted 111,808 (201879,869 and 201789,387) shares as restricted stock awards with a fair value of $0.4 million (2018$0.7 million and 2017$0.9 million), based on the quoted market price, to certain of the Company’s directors. The shares of restricted stock are issued when granted.

Share-based Compensation of Subsidiaries

During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, 35,419, 17,498 and 17,345 common units of Teekay LNG, respectively, and 19,918, 21,004 and nil shares of Class A common stock of Teekay Tankers, respectively, with aggregate values of $0.7 million, $0.5 million, and $0.3 million, respectively, were granted and issued to the non-management directors of the general partner of Teekay LNG and the non-management directors of Teekay Tankers as part of their annual compensation for 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers grant equity-based compensation awards as incentive-based compensation to certain employees of Teekay’s subsidiaries that provide services to Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers. During March 2019, 2018 and 2017, Teekay LNG granted phantom unit awards and Teekay Tankers granted restricted stock-based compensation awards with respect to 80,100, 62,283 and 60,809 units of Teekay LNG and 99,056, 95,330 and 47,805 Class A common shares of Teekay Tankers, respectively, with aggregate grant date fair values of $2.0 million, $2.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively, based on Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers’ closing unit or stock prices on the grant dates.


F - 38

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

Each phantom unit or restricted stock unit is equal in value to one of Teekay LNG’s or Teekay Tankers’ common units or common shares plus reinvested distributions or dividends from the grant date to the vesting date. The awards vest equally over three years from the grant date. Any portion of an award that is not vested on the date of a recipient’s termination of service is canceled, unless their termination arises as a result of the recipient’s retirement, in which case the award will continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule. Upon vesting, the awards are paid to a substantial majority of the grantees in the form of common units or common shares, net of withholding tax.

During March 2019, 2018 and 2017, Teekay Tankers granted 218,223, 92,041 and 60,791 stock options, respectively, with an exercise price of $8.00, $9.76 and $17.84 per share that have a ten-year term and vest equally over three years from the grant date to an officer of Teekay Tankers and to certain employees at Teekay that provide services to Teekay Tankers. During March 2019, 2018 and 2017, Teekay Tankers also granted 58,843, 63,012 and 49,552 stock options, respectively, with an exercise price of $8.00, $9.76 and $17.84 per share that have a ten-year term and vest immediately to non-management directors of Teekay Tankers.
14. Related Party Transactions
On May 8, 2019, Teekay sold to Brookfield all of the Company’s remaining interests in Altera, which included the Company’s 49% general partner interest, common units, warrants, and an outstanding $25 million loan from the Company to Altera (described below), for total cash proceeds of $100 million. Subsequent to the 2019 Brookfield Transaction, Altera is no longer a related party of Teekay (see Notes 1, 3, and 4).

Since Altera is no longer a related party of Teekay, advances from Teekay to Altera and advances from Altera to Teekay were included in accounts receivable and accounts payable, respectively, on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2019. Advances from Teekay to Altera as at December 31, 2018 were $83.1 million, and advances from Altera to Teekay as at December 31, 2018 were $59.3 million. Such amounts were included in current portion of loans to equity-accounted investments and loans from equity-accounted investments, respectively, on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2018.

In March 2018, Altera entered into a loan agreement for a $125.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, of which up to $25.0 million was provided by Teekay and up to $100.0 million was provided by Brookfield. The facility was scheduled to mature in October 2019. Teekay's $25.0 million loan to Altera was among the assets sold by Teekay to Brookfield in the 2019 Brookfield Transaction.

Until December 31, 2017, Teekay and its wholly-owned subsidiaries directly and indirectly provided substantially all of Altera’s ship management, commercial, technical, strategic, business development and administrative service needs. Specifically, the Transferred Subsidiaries provided ship management, commercial, technical, strategic, business development and administrative services to Altera, primarily related to Altera's FPSO units, shuttle tankers and FSO units. On January 1, 2018, Altera acquired a 100% ownership interest in the Transferred Subsidiaries (see Note 4).

Subsequent to their transfer to Altera, the Transferred Subsidiaries continue to provide ship management, commercial, technical, strategic, business development and administrative services to Teekay, primarily related to Teekay's FPSO units. Teekay and certain of its subsidiaries, other than the Transferred Subsidiaries, continue to provide certain other ship management, commercial, technical, strategic and administrative services to Altera.

Revenues recognized by the Company for services provided to Altera during the periods that Altera was a related party to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $7.6 million, $21.0 million and $17.8 million, respectively, which were recorded in revenues on the Company's consolidated statements of loss. Fees paid by the Company to Altera for services provided by Altera to the Company during the period that Altera was a related party to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $9.6 million, $25.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and were recorded in vessel operating expenses and general and administrative expenses on the Company's consolidated statements of loss

As at December 31, 2019, two shuttle tankers and three FSO units of Altera were employed on long-term time-charter-out or bareboat contracts with subsidiaries of Teekay. Time-charter hire expense paid by the Company to Altera during the periods that Altera was a related party to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $20.8 million, $56.3 million and $14.3 million, respectively.

In September 2018, Teekay LNG entered into an agreement with its 52%-owned joint venture with Marubeni Corporation (or the MALT Joint Venture) to charter in one of the MALT Joint Venture's LNG carriers, the Magellan Spirit, for a period of two years at a fixed-rate. Time-charter hire expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $20.0 million (December 31, 2018$7.7 million).

The Company provides ship management and corporate services to certain of its equity-accounted joint ventures that own and operate LNG carriers on long-term charters. In addition, the Company is reimbursed for costs incurred by the Company for its seafarers operating these LNG carriers. During the years ended December 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company earned $68.8 million, $55.2 million and $6.5 million, respectively, of fees pursuant to these management agreements and reimbursement of costs. The accounting presentation of such reimbursement of costs was impacted by the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 (see Note 1).

In May 2019, the Company completed a cash tender offer and purchased $460.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes and issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior secured notes at par due November 2022. The Company recognized a loss of $10.6 million on the purchase of the 2020 Notes for the year ended December 31, 2019 (see Note 9).

During September 2019, Teekay LNG refinanced the Torben Spirit by acquiring the Torben Spirit from its original Lessor and then selling the vessel to another Lessor and leasing it back for a period of 7.5 years. As a result of this refinancing transaction, the Partnership recognized a loss of $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 on the extinguishment of the original finance lease (see Note 11).
(3)
Following the termination of the finance lease arrangements for the RasGas II LNG Carriers in 2014, the lessor made a determination that additional rentals were due under the leases following a challenge by the UK taxing authority. As a result, in 2017 the Teekay Nakilat Joint Venture recognized an additional liability, which was included as part of other loss in the Company's consolidated statements of loss.

16. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company uses derivatives to manage certain risks in accordance with its overall risk management policies.
Foreign Exchange Risk
From time to time the Company economically hedges portions of its forecasted expenditures denominated in foreign currencies with foreign currency forward contracts. As at December 31, 2019, the Company was committed to the following foreign currency forward contracts:

Average contractual exchange rate represents the contracted amount of foreign currency one U.S. Dollar will buy.

The Company enters into cross currency swaps and pursuant to these swaps the Company receives the principal amount in 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 NOK based on NIBOR plus a margin for a payment of U.S. Dollar fixed interest. 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 NOK-denominated bonds due in 2020, 2021 and 2023. In addition, the cross currency swaps economically hedge the interest rate exposure on the NOK bonds due in 2020, 2021 and 2023. The Company has not designated, for accounting purposes, these cross currency swaps as cash flow hedges of its NOK-denominated bonds due in 2020, 2021 and 2023. As at December 31, 2019, the Company was committed to the following cross currency swaps:

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. The Company designates certain of its interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.

As at December 31, 2019, the Company was committed to the following interest rate swap agreements related to its LIBOR-based debt and EURIBOR-based debt, whereby certain of the Company’s floating-rate debt obligations were swapped with fixed-rate obligations:

Stock Purchase Warrants
Prior to the 2019 Brookfield Transaction on May 8, 2019, Teekay held 15.5 million Brookfield Transaction Warrants and 1,755,000 Series D Warrants of Altera (see Notes 4 and 12). As part of the 2019 Brookfield Transaction, Teekay sold to Brookfield all of the Company’s remaining interests in Altera, which included, among other things, both the Brookfield Transaction Warrants and Series D Warrants.

As at December 31, 2019, the Company had multiple interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps with the same counterparty that are subject to the same master agreements. Each of these master agreements provides for the net settlement of all derivatives subject to that master agreement through a single payment in the event of default or termination of any one derivative. The fair value of these derivatives is presented on a gross basis in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As at December 31, 2019, these derivatives had an aggregate fair value asset amount of $3.1 million (December 31, 2018 $9.5 million) and an aggregate fair value liability amount of $74.3 million (December 31, 2018 $55.8 million). As at December 31, 2019, the Company had $14.3 million on deposit with the relevant counterparties as security for swap liabilities under certain master agreements (December 31, 2018 $6.8 million). The deposit is presented in restricted cash current and long-term on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company is exposed to credit loss to the extent the fair value represents an asset 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.

17. Commitments and Contingencies

(i)
In June 2019, Teekay LNG entered into an agreement with a contractor to supply equipment on certain of its LNG carriers in 2021 and 2022, for an estimated installed cost of approximately $60.6 million. As at December 31, 2019, the estimated remaining cost of this installation is $49.7 million.
(ii)
Teekay LNG has a 30% ownership interest in the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture which has an LNG receiving and regasification terminal in Bahrain. The Bahrain LNG Joint Venture has secured undrawn debt financing of $34 million, of which $10 million relates to Teekay LNG's proportionate share of the commitments included in the table above.
b)Liquidity
Management is required to assess if the Company will have sufficient liquidity to continue as a going concern for the one-year period following the issuance of its financial statements. The Company had a consolidated net loss of $149.0 million and $383.3 million of consolidated cash flows from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2019 and ended the year with a working capital deficit of $20.7 million. This working capital deficit included approximately $523.3 million related to scheduled maturities and repayments of debt in the next 12 months, of which some loan maturities relate to assets which are subject to purchase obligations of the charterer (Teekay LNG subsequently made a repayment relating to this in January 2020, see Note 24(a)), and was classified as current liabilities as at December 31, 2019. In addition, the scheduled repayments of debt include $36.7 million of Teekay Parent senior notes due in January 2020 and $50.0 million of its equity margin revolving credit facility (or EMR) due in December 2020. In January 2020, the Company repaid all remaining 2020 Notes at maturity and, as of the date of filing, is in discussions with its lenders to refinance the EMR.

Based on the Company’s liquidity at the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, and the liquidity the Company expects to generate from operations over the following year and assuming no significant decline in spot tanker rates, the Company expects that it will have sufficient liquidity to continue as a going concern for at least the one-year period following the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.
c)Legal Proceedings and Claims
The Company may, from time to time, be involved in legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that any adverse outcome of existing claims, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, when taking into account its insurance coverage and indemnifications from charterers.
d)Other
The Company enters into indemnification agreements with certain officers and directors. In addition, the Company enters into other indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. The maximum potential amount of future payments required under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. However, the Company maintains what it believes is appropriate liability insurance that reduces its exposure and enables the Company to recover future amounts paid up to the maximum amount of the insurance coverage, less any deductible amounts pursuant to the terms of the respective policies, the amounts of which are not considered material.

Teekay LNG also guarantees its proportionate share of certain loan facilities and obligations on interest rate swaps for its equity-accounted joint ventures for which the aggregate principal amount of the loan facilities and fair value of the interest rate swaps as at December 31, 2019 was $1.4 billion. As of the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, Teekay LNG's equity-accounted joint ventures were in compliance with all covenants relating to these loan facilities that Teekay LNG guarantees.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company took impairment charges in respect of all three of its FPSO-related assets. The Company has continued to follow its strategy of contract extensions and a potential sale of any or all of the three FPSOs. Substantially all of the $178.3 million impairment in the year ended December 31, 2019 relates to the write-down of two of the Company’s FPSO units. The Company has determined the estimated fair value of one of the units based on the expected sales price and the other unit using a discounted cash flow approach. The discounted cash flow approach used includes scenarios consisting of sale of the unit following expiration of the existing customer contract, sale of the unit in early 2020 and extension of the existing customer contract, weighted based on the likelihood of them occurring. Cash flow projections have been discounted at an estimated market participant rate of 9.5%. Cash flow projections are based on current and project charter rates and operating costs. The projected future use of the unit takes into consideration the Company’s projected charter rates that could be contracted in future periods. In establishing this estimate, the Company has considered current discussions with potential customers, and historical experience redeploying FPSO units. Estimated proceeds from the potential sale of the unit are based on prior discussions with potential buyers of the Company's FPSO units.
In September 2017, the estimated future cash flows and carrying value of the asset groups for the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit and Petrojarl Banff FPSO unit, each owned by Teekay Parent, changed upon the deconsolidation of Altera. For the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO, two shuttle tankers, which are owned by Altera, were removed from the carrying value of the asset group and the estimated future cash flows of the asset group was changed to include the in-charter costs of these two vessels to be paid by Teekay Parent to Altera. For the Petrojarl Banff FPSO, the carrying value of an FSO, which is owned by Altera, was removed from the carrying value of the asset group and the estimated future cash flows of the asset group were changed to include the in-charter costs of the FSO unit to be paid by Teekay Parent to Altera. This change in asset groups and a re-evaluation of the estimated future net cash flows of the units at the time resulted in a write-down of the carrying values of the units to their estimated fair values, which in aggregate was approximately $113.0 million. The impairment charges were included in the Company's Teekay Parent Segment – Offshore Production. The Company determined the discounted cash flows using the then-current projected time charter rates and costs, discounted at an estimated market participant rate of 10%. For both units, the Company included the existing contracted time charter rates and operating costs as well as projected future use on another field. The projected future use of each of the FPSO units took into consideration the Company’s estimated upgrade costs and projected time charter rates that could be contracted in future periods. In establishing these estimates, the Company considered discussions with potential customers, available information regarding field expansions and historical experience redeploying FPSO units.

Teekay LNG commenced marketing the Alexander Spirit conventional tanker for sale in the second quarter of 2019 and sold the vessel in October 2019 for net proceeds of $11.5 million.
(3)
In the fourth quarter of 2019, Teekay LNG derecognized two LNG carriers, the WilPride and WilForce, as a result of contract amendments that lead to the reclassification of these operating leases to sales-type leases. Teekay LNG recognized a gain of $14.3 million upon derecognition of the vessels for the year ended December 31, 2019. In January 2020, the lessee purchased both vessels (see Note 24).
(4)
In June 2018, the carrying values for four of Teekay LNG's seven wholly-owned multi-gas carriers, the Napa Spirit, Pan Spirit, Cathinka Spirit and Camilla Spirit, were written down to their estimated fair value, using appraised values, as a result of Teekay LNG's evaluation of alternative strategies for these assets, the current charter rate environment and the outlook for charter rates for these vessels.
(5)
During the year ended December 31, 2018, Teekay LNG recorded write-downs on the European Spirit and African Spirit Suezmax tankers to their estimated resale value. In the fourth quarter of 2018, Teekay LNG sold the European Spirit and African Spirit for net proceeds of $15.7 million and $12.8 million, respectively, using the net proceeds from the sales primarily to repay its existing term loans associated with the vessels.

Under Teekay LNG's charter contracts for the Teide Spirit and Toledo Spirit Suezmax tankers, the charterer, who is also the owner of the vessels, has the option to cancel the charter contracts 13 years following commencement of the respective charter contracts. During 2018, the charterer sold the Teide Spirit to a third party and gave formal notification to Teekay LNG of its intention to terminate its charter contract subject to certain conditions being met and the receipt of certain third-party approvals. In November 2018, the owner and charterer of the Toledo Spirit reached an agreement to sell the vessel and delivered the vessel to the buyer in January 2019. Teekay LNG wrote down the vessels to their estimated fair values based on their expected future discounted cash flows.
(7)
Teekay Tankers recognized a loss on sale of a vessel of $2.3 million relating to one Suezmax vessel, which was sold and delivered to its buyer in the fourth quarter of 2019. In 2019, Teekay Tankers agreed to sell two Suezmax tankers for an aggregate sales price of $38 million. Both tankers were delivered to their new owners in February 2020 (see Note 24). The vessels and the related bunkers, the vessel disposal group, were classified as held for sale as at December 31, 2019 and written down to their agreed sales price. Teekay Tankers recognized a write down of the vessels of $3.2 million in 2019.
(8)
In 2017, the carrying value of the Falcon Spirit FSO was written down as a result of a decrease in the estimated residual value of the unit.

The Company intends to settle the principal of the Convertible Notes in cash on conversion and calculates diluted earnings per share using the treasury-stock method. Stock-based awards and the conversion feature on the Convertible Notes that have an anti-dilutive effect on the calculation of diluted loss per common share, are excluded from this calculation. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the number of Common Stock from stock-based awards and the conversion feature on the Convertible Notes that had an anti-dilutive effect on the calculation of diluted earnings per common share were 3.5 million, 4.0 million and 3.6 million respectively. In periods where a loss attributable to shareholders has been incurred all stock-based awards and the conversion feature on the Convertible Notes are anti-dilutive.
21. Restructuring Charges
During 2019, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $12.0 million (2018 $4.1 million, 2017 $5.1 million).

The restructuring charges in 2019 primarily related to severance costs resulting from the termination of certain management contracts in Teekay Parent of which these costs were fully recovered from the customer and the recovery is presented in revenue, severance costs resulting from the reorganization and realignment of resources of the Company's shared service function, as well as from the termination of the charter contract for the Toledo Spirit Suezmax tanker in Teekay LNG upon the sale of the vessel in January 2019.

The restructuring charges in 2018 primarily related to severance costs resulting from reorganization and realignment of resources of certain of the Company's business development, marine solutions and fleet operations functions to better respond to the changing business environment.

The restructuring charges in 2017 primarily related to severance costs resulting from the termination of the charter contract for the Arendal Spirit UMS in Altera and the resulting decommissioning of the unit, reorganization and realignment of resources of certain of the Company's strategic development function to better respond to the changing business environment, and reorganization of the Company's FPSO business to create better alignment with the Company's offshore operations.

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, $0.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of restructuring liabilities were recorded in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
22. 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 U.K. and Norwegian subsidiaries are subject to income taxes.

Included in the Company's current income tax expense are provisions for uncertain tax positions relating to freight taxes. The Company does not presently anticipate that its provisions for these uncertain tax positions will significantly increase in the next 12 months; however, this is dependent on the jurisdictions of the trading activity of its vessels. The Company reviews its freight tax obligations on a regular basis and may update its assessment of its tax positions based on available information at the time. Such information may include legal advice as to the applicability of freight taxes in relevant jurisdictions. Freight tax regulations are subject to change and interpretation; therefore, the amounts recorded by the Company may change accordingly. The tax years 2008 through 2019 remain open to examination by some of the major jurisdictions in which the Company is subject to tax.

23. Equity-accounted Investments
On May 8, 2019, Teekay sold to Brookfield all of the Company's remaining interests in Altera, which included the Company’s 49% general partner interest, common units, warrants, and an outstanding $25 million loan from the Company to Altera for total cash proceeds of $100 million. Subsequent to the deconsolidation of Altera on September 25, 2017 and prior to the sale in May 2019 (see Note 4), Teekay included the results of Altera as an equity-accounted investment in its financial results. The Company wrote-down the investment in Altera by $64.9 million and recognized a loss on sale of $8.9 million which are included in equity loss on the consolidated statements of loss for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The equity investments of Teekay LNG include the following:

In December 2015, Teekay LNG (30%) entered into an agreement with National Oil & Gas Authority (or NOGA) (30%), Gulf Investment Corporation (24%), and Samsung C&T (16%) to form a joint venture, Bahrain LNG W.L.L. (or the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture), for the development of an LNG receiving and regasification terminal in Bahrain. The LNG terminal includes an offshore LNG receiving jetty and breakwater, an adjacent regasification platform, subsea gas pipelines from the platform to shore, an onshore gas receiving facility, and an onshore nitrogen production facility with a total LNG terminal capacity of 800 million standard cubic feet per day and will be owned and operated under a 20-year customer contract. In addition, Teekay LNG has supplied an FSU in connection with this terminal commencing in September 2018 through a 21-year time-charter contract with the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture.

As at December 31, 2019, Teekay LNG had advanced $73.4 million (December 31, 2018$79.1 million) to the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture. These advances bear interest at 6.0% (2018 – LIBOR plus 1.25%) and as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, the interest receivable on these advances was $0.5 million and $nil, respectively.

As at December 31, 2019, the interest receivable on these advances was $0.3 million (December 31, 2018$nil). These amounts are included in the table below.
On initial acquisition, the basis difference between Teekay LNG's investment and the carrying value of the Exmar LPG Joint Venture's net assets was substantially attributed to the value of the vessels and charter agreements of the Exmar LPG Joint Venture and goodwill in accordance with the finalized purchase price allocation. At December 31, 2019, the unamortized amount of the basis difference was $23.6 million (December 31, 2018$24.9 million).

A 50/50 joint venture with Exmar (or the Excalibur Joint Venture). On January 31, 2018, Teekay LNG sold its other 50/50 joint venture with Exmar relating to the Excelsior LNG carrier (or the Excelsior Joint Venture) for gross proceeds of approximately $54 million. As a result of the sale, Teekay LNG recorded a gain of $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, which is included in equity (loss) income in the consolidated statements of loss. Teekay LNG has guaranteed its 50% share of the secured loan facility of the Excalibur Joint Venture for which the principal amount of the secured loan facility was $21.8 million as at December 31, 2019. As a result, Teekay LNG has recorded a guarantee liability which has a carrying value of $0.1 million as at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018nominal).
On initial acquisition, the basis difference between Teekay LNG's investment and the carrying value of the Excalibur Joint Venture's net assets was substantially attributed to an increase to the carrying value of the vessel of the Excalibur Joint Venture in accordance with the finalized purchase price allocation.

Teekay LNG has guaranteed its 33% share of the secured loan facilities and interest rate swaps of the Angola Joint Venture for which the aggregate principal amount of the secured loan facilities and fair value of the interest rate swaps was $213.8 million as at December 31, 2019. As a result, Teekay LNG has recorded a guarantee liability which has a carrying value of $0.5 million as at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018$0.6 million), and is included as part of other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

In January 2014, Teekay and Teekay Tankers formed TIL, which sought to opportunistically acquire, operate and sell modern second-hand tankers to benefit from an expected recovery in the current cyclical low of the tanker market. Teekay and Teekay Tankers in the aggregate purchased 5.0 million shares of common stock, representing an initial 20% interest in TIL, as part of a $250 million private placement by TIL, which represented a total investment by Teekay and Teekay Tankers of $50.0 million. In October 2014, Teekay Tankers acquired an additional 0.9 million common shares in TIL, representing 2.43% of the then outstanding share capital of TIL.

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

On May 31, 2017, Teekay Tankers entered into a merger agreement (or the Merger Agreement) to acquire the remaining 27.0 million issued and outstanding common shares of TIL, by way of a share-for-share exchange of 0.4 shares of Teekay Tankers Class A common stock for each outstanding share of TIL common stock (or the TIL merger). During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized a loss of $46.2 million on remeasuring its investment in TIL to fair value.

On completion of the TIL merger, TIL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teekay Tankers. As consideration for the merger, Teekay Tankers issued 11,122,193 Class A common shares (including 1,031,250 Class A common shares to Teekay) to the TIL shareholders (other than Teekay Tankers) for $151.3 million. The merger with TIL was accounted for as an acquisition of assets. The purchase price was determined based on the value of Teekay Tankers shares issued on the merger date and transaction costs associated with the merger, which amounted to $6.9 million. Together with the fair value of the Company's 19.5% ownership in TIL (11.3% of which was held through Teekay Tankers) and the total number of Class A common shares issued at the close of the merger, the total acquisition cost was $177.4 million. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their fair values on November 27, 2017, with the difference between the purchase price and the net fair value of the net assets acquired allocated on a relative fair value basis to the vessels acquired. Net working capital and long-term debt assumed were recognized at their fair values on November 27, 2017, of $47.1 million and $337.1 million, respectively. The remaining amount of the asset acquisition purchase price was allocated to vessels ($467.2 million) and existing time-charter contracts ($0.2 million), on a relative fair value basis.

Teekay Tankers also owns a 50% interest in a joint venture arrangement between Teekay Tankers and Wah Kwong Maritime Transport Holdings Limited (or Wah Kwong Joint Venture) which owns a single VLCC tanker. The vessel is currently trading on spot voyage charters in an RSA managed by a third party.

In November 2011, Teekay acquired a 40% interest in a recapitalized Magnora ASA (or Magnora, previously Sevan Marine ASA) for approximately $25 million and as at December 31, 2017, the Company had a 43.5% interest in Magnora. In November 2018, Teekay sold its ownership interest in Magnora for approximately $27 million and recognized a gain of $15.3 million, which is presented in equity income on the consolidated statements of loss for the year ended December 31, 2018.

24. Subsequent Events
a)
On January 3 and January 7, 2020, Awilco purchased the WilPride and WilForce LNG carriers, and paid Teekay LNG the associated purchase obligation and deferred hire amounts totaling $260.0 million relating to these two vessels. Teekay LNG used the net proceeds from these sales to repay its term loans totaling $157.3 million that were collateralized by these vessels and in addition, increased its liquidity by over $100 million.

b)
The Bahrain LNG Joint Venture (in which Teekay LNG owns a 30% interest) completed the mechanical construction and commissioning of the LNG receiving and regasification terminal in Bahrain, and began receiving terminal use payments in early-2020 under its 20-year terminal use agreement with NOGA.

c)
On March 24, 2020, Teekay LNG completed the refinancing of its existing $225.0 million revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to mature in November 2020, by entering into a new $225.0 million revolving credit facility maturing in March 2022.

d)
Subsequent to December 31, 2019, Teekay LNG repurchased 1.4 million of its common units for a total cost of $15.3 million under Teekay LNG's common unit repurchase program.

e)
On January 28, 2020, Teekay Tankers entered into an agreement to sell the non-U.S. portion of its ship-to-ship support services business, as well as its LNG terminal management business for $26 million, subject to adjustment for the final amounts of cash and other working capital present on the closing date. The sale is expected to close in the second quarter of 2020. All assets and liabilities associated with the business to be sold have been reclassified to assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale on the December 31, 2019 consolidated balance sheets.


F - 52

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

f)
On January 28, 2020, Teekay Tankers entered into a new five-year, $532.8 million revolving credit facility to refinance 31 vessels. The revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature in late 2024, of which approximately $455 million will was used to repay Teekay Tankers' two revolving facilities and one of its term loan facilities, which was scheduled to mature in 2021.

g)
In January 2020, Teekay Tankers entered into agreements to sell two Suezmax tankers for an aggregate price of $40.8 million, of which one of the vessels was classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2019 and written down to its sales price less closing costs. This vessel was delivered in February 2020 (see Note 19). The other vessel was delivered to its new owner in March 2020 and the Company expects to recognize a loss on sale of $2.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

h)
In January 2020, the Company repaid at maturity all outstanding 2020 Notes totaling $36.7 million.

i)
On March 27, 2020, Teekay Parent entered into a new bareboat charter contract with Britoil Limited, a subsidiary of BP p.l.c., for the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit for up to approximately ten years. Under the terms of the contract, Teekay Parent received an upfront payment of approximately $67 million in cash, and it is expecting to receive a nominal per day rate over the life of the contract, and a lump sum payment at the end of the contract period, which is expected to cover the costs of recycling the FPSO unit in accordance with the European Union Ship Recycling Regulations.

j)
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (or COVID-19) as a pandemic.  Certain crew members of the Hummingbird Spirit FPSO disembarked from the unit after a third-party contractor on board was presenting with flu-like symptoms who subsequently tested positive for COVID-19. In accordance with U.K. Government and Oil & Gas U.K. guidelines in dealing with COVID-19, production on the unit was temporarily suspended on April 4, 2020 to enable a crew health assessment, cleaning of the FPSO and an assessment of any additional precautions which should be taken before the resumption of production. The impact, if any, of the shut-down of the unit on the Company’s results of operations is uncertain. The Company has not yet experienced any other material negative impacts to its business, results of operations, or financial position as a result of COVID-19. The future financial effects to the Company, if any, of COVID-19 cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

TEEKAY CORPORATION
SCHEDULE I
NOTES TO CONDENSED NON-CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF REGISTRANT
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying condensed non-consolidated financial information is required by SEC Regulation S-X 5-04 for Teekay Corporation (or Teekay), which requires the inclusion of financial information for Teekay on a stand-alone basis if the restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries exceed 25% of total consolidated net assets as of the last day of its most recent fiscal year. The restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries was $266.4 million, or 55% of total consolidated net assets, as at December 31, 2019.
Teekay’s investments in subsidiaries are presented in this financial information under the cost method of accounting, whereby Teekay’s investment in subsidiaries is measured initially at cost. Under the cost method of accounting for investments in common stock, dividends are the basis for recognition of earnings from an investment. Under this method, an investor recognizes as income dividends received that are distributed from net accumulated earnings of the investee since the date of acquisition by the investor. The net accumulated earnings of an investee subsequent to the date of investment are recognized by the investor only to the extent distributed by the investee as dividends. Dividends received in excess of earnings subsequent to the date of investment are considered a return of investment and are recorded as reductions of cost of the investment. Teekay received dividends from its subsidiaries of $62.1 million (2019), $32.8 million (2018) and $58.0 million (2017), respectively.
Teekay recognizes an impairment loss on its investments in its subsidiaries when the fair value of its investments is lower than the carrying value. The fair value of Teekay's investments in its subsidiaries is primarily influenced by the publicly-traded price of Teekay LNG's common units, the publicly-traded share price of Teekay Tankers' common shares, and the fair value of the three FPSO units, as of the respective balance sheet dates.
A substantial amount of Teekay’s operating, investing and financing activities are conducted by its affiliates and not reflected in this financial information. The condensed non-consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with Teekay’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s 8.5% senior unsecured notes are due January 15, 2020 with an original aggregate principal amount of $450 million (or the Original Notes). The Original Notes issued on January 27, 2010 were sold at a price equal to 99.2% of par. During 2014, the Company repurchased $57.3 million of the Original Notes. In November 2015, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $200 million of the Company’s 8.5% senior unsecured notes due on January 15, 2020 (or the Additional Notes) at 99.01% of face value, plus accrued interest from July 15, 2015. The Additional Notes were an additional issuance of the Company’s Original Notes (collectively referred to as the 2020 Notes). The Additional Notes were issued under the same indenture governing the Original Notes and are fungible with the Original Notes. The discount on the 2020 Notes is accreted through the maturity date of the notes using the effective interest rate of 8.67% per year. During 2018, the Company repurchased $84.1 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company repurchased an additional $10.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes.

In May 2019, the Company completed a cash tender offer and purchased $460.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes and issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior secured notes at par due November 2022 (or the 2022 Notes).
