GAAP net loss and adjusted net loss for the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016 were primarily affected by lower average spot tanker rates and a decrease in the Company's fleet size.

GAAP net loss and adjusted net loss for the third quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2017 were primarily affected by lower average spot tanker rates, partially offset by lower vessel operating expenses and the redeliveries of three time chartered-in vessels during the second quarter of 2017. GAAP net loss was also impacted by higher losses on vessel sales, partially offset by a non-cash write-down of the Company's investment in TIL in the second quarter of 2017.

CEO Commentary

“I’m pleased to report that we have secured support from our two largest shareholders, Teekay Corporation and Huber Capital, for the proposed charter amendment to permit the merger with TIL, and two independent proxy advisory firms, Glass Lewis and ISS, have recommended that shareholders vote 'FOR' the proposed charter amendment to permit the merger with TIL, which we view as strategically important for Teekay Tankers,” commented Kevin Mackay, Teekay Tankers’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “Including our existing vessels, the combined company will own and operate 59 conventional tankers, solidifying our market-leading presence in key markets, while also modernizing our fleet at the right point in the tanker market cycle. We believe this merger is in the best interests of Teekay Tankers’ shareholders as it is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings, reduces our average fleet age, reduces our cash break-even rate, and strengthens our balance sheet. The date of the special meeting of shareholders has now been set for November 17, 2017 and we urge all shareholders to vote in favor of increasing the authorized share count which will allow us to move ahead with the proposed merger.”

Mr. Mackay continued, “The proposed merger was priced using a fixed share-for-share exchange ratio based on the underlying fair market value of each fleet as determined earlier this year and, since that time, the fair market values of each respective fleet have remained relatively constant. As a result, the fundamental merger economics continue to remain intact for both Teekay Tankers and TIL shareholders.”

Mr. Mackay added, "Seasonal weakness combined with global inventory drawdowns as crude oil pricing moved into backwardation contributed to weak spot tanker rates in the third quarter of 2017. Our fixed charter coverage and our growing lightering business helped to mitigate some of this tanker market weakness during the quarter. Since that time, we have seen a significant uptick in crude tanker rates into the fourth quarter, supported by refineries returning from seasonal maintenance and an increase in long-haul movements from the Atlantic to the Pacific, which is increasing tanker ton-mile demand. Looking ahead to 2018, we expect that a significant slowdown in tanker fleet growth coupled with better oil market fundamentals will lead to a recovery in tanker rates.”

Summary of Recent Developments

Voting and Support Agreement

Teekay Tankers has entered into a voting and support agreement with the Company's second largest shareholder, Huber Capital Management LLC ( Huber Capital ), whereby Huber Capital will vote its shares in favor of increasing the authorized number of Teekay Tankers’ Class A common shares at the November 17, 2017 special meeting of shareholders to permit the issuance of Class A common shares as consideration to complete the Company’s proposed merger with TIL.

Sale of Two Older Aframax Tankers

Since August 2017, Teekay Tankers has entered into agreements to sell two 1999-built Aframax tankers for aggregate proceeds of approximately $12.7 million. One Aframax tanker delivered in September 2017 and the other is scheduled to be delivered in the second half of November 2017.

Share Repurchase Program

In September 2017, Teekay Tankers announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a share repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $45 million of the Company’s Class A common shares.  Shares may be repurchased in the open market at times and prices considered appropriate by the Company. 

Secured a New Time-Charter Out Contract

Teekay Tankers secured a time charter-out contract on an Aframax tanker for a firm period of 12 months at a daily rate of $15,000, plus a 12-month extension option at a higher rate, which commenced in October 2017.

Tanker Market

Crude tanker spot rates declined in line with seasonal norms during the third quarter of 2017, as refiners reduced crude oil purchases ahead of autumn maintenance programs. This decline in spot tanker rates was exacerbated by a drawdown in global oil inventories during the third quarter, as crude oil prices moved into a backwardated pricing structure. According to the International Energy Agency ( IEA ), global oil inventories fell by a net 53 million barrels ( mb ) during the third quarter, including a 44 mb decline in floating storage. This had a negative impact on spot tanker rates as the vessels used for floating storage returned to the active trading fleet, which increased vessel supply, although some of the older vessels were sold for scrap.

Crude tanker spot rates received some renewed support towards the end of the third quarter due to hurricane activity in the U.S. Gulf and Caribbean region, which disrupted vessel operations and tightened vessel supply. Crude tanker rates have strengthened further into the fourth quarter of 2017 due to an increase in tanker demand as refineries complete seasonal maintenance. In addition, an increase in long-haul exports from the Atlantic to the Pacific has led to an increase in tanker ton-mile demand in recent weeks. This has been led by U.S. crude exports, which at the end of September 2017 hit a record high of almost 2 million barrels per day ( mb/d ). Higher U.S. crude exports have also added to U.S. Gulf lightering demand in the form of increased reverse lightering operations.

The global tanker fleet grew by 24.5 million deadweight tons ( mdwt ), or 4.4 percent, in the first nine months of 2017. This influx of new vessels has put downward pressure on tanker fleet utilization during the year; however, tanker fleet growth is expected to moderate in the coming months, as the peak of newbuilding deliveries has passed and as the pace of scrapping is expected to pick up. A total of 7.1 mdwt of tankers was scrapped in the first nine months of 2017, a significant increase from 2.5 mdwt of scrapping for the entire year of 2016. In addition, there have been a number of newbuilding contract cancellations so far in 2017, as some shipyards have been unable to acquire refund guarantees from financial institutions. For 2017 as a whole, the Company forecasts tanker fleet growth of just over 5 percent, down from approximately 6 percent in 2016. Lower fleet growth is expected in 2018 and 2019 as the orderbook continues to roll-off and as tanker scrapping increases, with additional upside from potential further cancellations of newbuilding contracts due to the lack of available refund guarantees.

Global oil demand continues to grow at a robust rate, with the IEA now forecasting demand growth of 1.6 mb/d in 2017 versus a forecast of 1.3 mb/d growth at the start of 2017. The IEA forecasts a further 1.4 mb/d of demand growth in 2018, with most of the growth coming from the Asia-Pacific region. High oil demand growth in Asia is drawing more barrels from the Atlantic region into the Pacific, particularly as the Middle East OPEC nations maintain supply cuts, which is positive for overall ton-mile demand.

Overall, the Company expects tanker rates to recover during the fourth quarter of 2017, in line with seasonal norms. Looking ahead to 2018, the Company expects that a period of lower tanker fleet growth coupled with stronger oil demand and a more balanced oil market should be positive for tanker fleet utilization and therefore crude spot tanker rates, particularly during the second half of the year.

(i)

Revenue days are the total number of calendar days the Company's vessels were in its 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 represents 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.

(ii)	Includes vessels trading in the Teekay Suezmax RSA and non-pool voyage charters.

(iii)	Includes vessels trading in the Teekay Aframax RSA, Teekay Aframax Classic RSA, non-pool voyage charters and full service lightering voyages.

Definitions and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes various financial measures that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These non-GAAP financial measures, which include Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Free Cash Flow, Net Revenues and Cash Flow from Vessel Operations, are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these measures do not have standardized meanings, and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s financial performance, as does management.

Consolidated Financial Measures

Adjusted net (loss) income excludes items of income or loss from GAAP net income that are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of the Company’s financial results. The Company believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s financial performance, as does management. Please refer to Appendix A of this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to net (loss) income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Free cash flow (FCF) represents net income, plus depreciation and amortization, unrealized losses from derivatives, certain non-cash items, FCF from equity accounted investments, loss on sale of vessel, and any write-offs or other non-recurring items, less unrealized gains from derivatives, equity income from the equity accounted investments, gain on sale of vessel and certain other non-cash items. The Company includes FCF from equity accounted investments as a component of its FCF. FCF from the equity accounted investments represents the Company’s proportionate share of FCF from its equity-accounted investments. The Company does not control its equity-accounted investments, and as a result, the Company does not have the unilateral ability to determine whether the cash generated by its equity-accounted investments is retained within the entity in which the Company holds the equity accounted investment or distributed to the Company and other owners. In addition, the Company does not control the timing of such distributions to the Company and other owners. Consequently, readers are cautioned when using FCF as a liquidity measure as the amount contributed from FCF from the equity accounted investments may not be available to the Company in the periods such free cash flow is generated by the equity accounted investments. FCF is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors and management to evaluate the Company’s financial and operating performance and to assess the Company’s ability to generate cash sufficient to repay debt, pay dividends and undertake capital and dry dock expenditures. Please refer to Appendix B to this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Net revenues represent revenues less voyage expenses. Because the amount of voyage expenses the Company incurs for a particular charter depends upon the type of the charter, the Company uses net revenues to improve the comparability between periods of reported revenues that are generated by the different types of charters and contracts. The Company principally uses net revenues, a non-GAAP financial measure, because the Company believes it provides more meaningful information about the deployment of the Company's vessels and their performance than does revenues, the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP.

Cash flow from vessel operations (CFVO) represents income from vessel operations before depreciation and amortization expense, amortization of in-process revenue contracts, vessel write-downs, and gains or losses on the sale of vessels and equipment. CFVO - Consolidated represents CFVO from vessels that are consolidated on the Company’s financial statements. CFVO - Equity Investments represents the Company’s proportionate share of CFVO from its equity-accounted vessels and other investments. The Company does not control the equity-accounted vessels and investments, and as a result, the Company does not have the unilateral ability to determine whether the cash generated by its equity accounted vessels and other investments is retained within the entity in which the Company holds the equity accounted investment or distributed to the Company and other owners. In addition, the Company does not control the timing of such distributions to the Company and other owners. Consequently, readers are cautioned when using total CFVO as a liquidity measure as the amount contributed from CFVO - Equity Investments may not be available to the Company in the periods such CFVO is generated by its equity-accounted vessels and other investments. CFVO is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors and management to measure the operational financial performance of companies. Please refer to Appendices C of this release for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to income from vessel operations and income from vessel operations of equity accounted investments,

respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP measures reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Entities under common control represent a transfer of a business between entities under common control. As a result, Teekay Tankers consolidated financial statements prior to the date the interests in these entities were actually acquired by the Company are retroactively adjusted to include the results of these entities during the periods they were under common control of Teekay and had begun operations.

In the three months ended June 30, 2017 and in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company also recognized an impairment of $28.1 million on its investment in TIL, as explained in (i) below.

Components of equity (loss) income are detailed in the table below:

		Three Months Ended									Nine Months Ended
		September 30,			June 30,			September 30,			September 30,			September 30,

(i) As part of the accounting for the proposed TIL merger, GAAP treats the Company's existing equity investment in TIL as being disposed of at its existing fair value and concurrently repurchased at such fair value, which is included in the cost of the acquisition of the 100% controlling interest in TIL. As a result of the expected merger between Teekay Tankers and TIL, it was determined that recovery of the carrying value of the Company's investment in TIL prior to closing of the merger would be unlikely. Consequently, a non-cash impairment of $28.1 million was required under GAAP to be recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2017 based on the difference between the carrying value of the investment at June 30, 2017 and its fair value based on the TIL share price on that date.

(2)

As was described in the Company's second quarter of 2017 earnings release, the Company had expected to recognize in the third quarter an accounting write-down as a result of the completion of the sale-leaseback transaction. However, as the leasing company structured the leases utilizing special purposes entities, the Company is required to consolidate those entities under US GAAP, and as a result no loss was recognized.
