NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except unit and per unit data and foreign currency exchange rates or unless otherwise indicated)

1.Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (or GAAP). These unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (or the Partnership), which is a limited partnership formed under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, its wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries and any variable interest entities (or VIEs) of which it is the primary beneficiary.

Certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements have been omitted and, therefore, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, which were included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (or SEC) on April 1, 2021. In the opinion of management of Teekay GP L.L.C., the general partner of the Partnership (or the General Partner), these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting solely of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Partnership’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, changes in total equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is possible that the amounts recorded as derivative liabilities could vary by material amounts prior to their settlement.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (or COVID-19) as a pandemic. While the Partnership has experienced some logistical challenges across its fleet due to COVID-19, the Partnership has not yet experienced any material negative financial impacts to its results of operations or financial position for the periods covered by these consolidated financial statements as a result of COVID-19, other than the COVID-19 pandemic being a contributing factor to the write-down of six of the Partnership's multi-gas vessels during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as described in Note 14. Given the dynamic nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may have material direct or indirect impact on the Partnership's business and the related financial reporting implications cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, although it could materially affect the business, results of operations and financial condition in the future.

2.Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 - Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (or ASU 2019-12), 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 intraperiod 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 Partnership adopted this update on January 1, 2021. The adoption did not have an impact on the Partnership's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease potential accounting impacts associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (or "LIBOR"). This ASU applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. This ASU is effective through December 31, 2022. The Partnership is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new guidance.

3. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

a) Fair Value Measurements

For a description of how the Partnership estimates fair value and for a description of the fair value hierarchy levels, see Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 3 to the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements filed with its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020. 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 Partnership’s financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.

(i)The advances to equity-accounted joint ventures together with the Partnership’s equity investments in the joint ventures form the net aggregate carrying value of the Partnership’s interests in the joint ventures in these unaudited consolidated financial statements. The fair values of the individual components of such aggregate interests are not determinable.

b) Credit Losses

For a description of the Partnership's exposure to potential credit losses under ASC 326, see Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 3b to the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements filed with its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The following table includes the amortized cost basis of the Partnership’s direct interests in financing receivables and net investment in direct financing leases by class of financing receivables and by period of origination and their associated credit quality as at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

see Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 3b to the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements filed with its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020.

(2)The change in credit loss provision of $4.4 million and $(0.1) million for the Partnership's consolidated vessels for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was included in other expense in the Partnership's consolidated statements of income (loss). The change in the credit loss provision for the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily reflects a decline in the estimated charter-free valuations for certain types of its liquefied natural gas (or LNG) carriers at the end of their time-charter contract which are accounted for as direct financing leases. These estimated future charter-free values are subject to change based on the underlying LNG shipping market fundamentals.

The change in credit loss provision of $6.7 million and $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, relating to the direct financing and sales-type leases and other within the Partnership's equity-accounted joint ventures was included in equity income in the Partnership's consolidated statements of income (loss). The change in credit loss provision for the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily reflects a decline in the estimated charter-free valuations for certain types of LNG carriers at the end of their time-charter contract, which are accounted for as direct financing and sales-type leases; and the change in credit loss provision for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily reflects the initial credit loss provision recognition upon commencement of the sales-type lease for the LNG regasification terminal and associated floating storage unit (or FSU) in the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture in January 2020.

The changes in the credit loss provision for the Partnership's consolidated vessels and the vessels within the Partnership's equity-accounted joint ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2021 do not reflect any material change in expectations of the charterers' ability to make their time-charter hire payments as they come due compared to the beginning of the year.

Long-term obligations related to finance leases	1,250,647	1,268,990

As at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Partnership was a party to finance leases on nine LNG carriers. These nine LNG carriers were sold by the Partnership to third parties (or Lessors) and leased back under 7.5 to 15-year bareboat charter contracts ending in 2026 through 2034. At 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 Partnership's consolidated balance sheets and have purchase obligations at the end of the lease terms.

The obligations of the Partnership under the bareboat charter contracts for the nine LNG carriers are guaranteed by the Partnership. The guarantee agreements require the Partnership to maintain minimum levels of tangible net worth and aggregate liquidity, and not to exceed a maximum amount of leverage. As at March 31, 2021, the Partnership was in compliance with all covenants in respect of the obligations related to its finance leases.

As at March 31, 2021, the remaining commitments related to the financial liabilities of these nine LNG carriers, including the amounts to be paid for the related purchase obligations, approximated $1.7 billion, including imputed interest of $383.6 million, repayable for the remainder of 2021 through 2034, as indicated below:


						Commitments as at March 31, 2021

2023						135,459
2024						132,011
2025						129,725
Thereafter						1,068,641

b) Operating Leases

The Partnership has chartered a vessel from its 52%-owned joint venture with Marubeni Corporation (or the MALT Joint Venture) on a time-charter-in contract, whereby the MALT Joint Venture provides use of the vessel to the Partnership and operates the vessel for the Partnership (see Note 10a).

As at March 31, 2021, minimum commitments to be incurred by the Partnership relating to its time-charter-in contract with the MALT Joint Venture were approximately $17.9 million (remainder of 2021) and $11.1 million (2022). These amounts do not include commitments relating to two vessels owned by Teekay BLT Corporation (or the Tangguh Joint Venture) which are described in Note 12b.

6. Revenue

The Partnership’s primary source of revenue is chartering its vessels to customers. The Partnership utilizes two primary forms of contracts consisting of time-charter contracts and voyage charter contracts. For a description of these contracts, see Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 6 in the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements filed with its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Net Investments in Direct Financing Leases

As at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Partnership had three LNG carriers, excluding the vessels in its equity-accounted joint ventures, that are accounted for as direct financing leases. For a description of the Partnership's LNG carriers accounted for as direct financing leases, see Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 6 to the Partnership's audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020.

In January 2020, Awilco purchased two LNG carriers classified as sales-type leases, the WilForce and the WilPride, from the Partnership and paid the Partnership the associated purchase obligation amounts, deferred hire amounts and interest on deferred hire amounts, totaling $260.4 million relating to these two vessels.

As at March 31, 2021, estimated lease payments to be received by the Partnership related to its direct financing leases in each of the next five years were approximately $48.3 million (remainder of 2021), $64.2 million (2022), $64.0 million (2023), $64.3 million (2024), $64.2 million (2025) and an aggregate of $446.5 million thereafter. Two leases are scheduled to end in 2028 and the remaining lease is scheduled to end in 2039.

Operating Leases

As at March 31, 2021, the minimum scheduled future rentals to be received by the Partnership in each of the next five years for the lease and non-lease elements related to charters that were accounted for as operating leases are approximately $345.6 million (remainder of 2021), $369.9 million (2022), $307.0 million (2023), $250.8 million (2024), and $196.3 million (2025). Minimum scheduled future rentals on operating lease contracts do not include rentals from vessels in the Partnership’s equity-accounted joint ventures, rentals from unexercised option periods of contracts that existed on March 31, 2021, variable or contingent rentals, or rentals from contracts which were entered into or commenced after March 31, 2021. Therefore, the minimum scheduled future rentals on operating leases should not be construed to reflect total charter hire revenues for any of these five years.

Contract Liabilities

As at March 31, 2021, the Partnership had $19.9 million of advanced payments recognized as contract liabilities included in unearned revenue (December 31, 2020 – $26.5 million, March 31, 2020 – $22.0 million and December 31, 2019 – $24.9 million). The Partnership

recognized $26.5 million and $24.9 million of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, that was recognized as a contract liability at the beginning of such three-month periods.

7. Equity-Accounted Joint Ventures

For a description of the Partnership's equity-accounted joint ventures, see Item 18 - Financial Statements: Note 7a in the Partnership's audited consolidated financial statements filed with its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Partnership's potential credit losses associated with its equity-accounted joint ventures are described in Note 3b and are excluded from the amounts in this note.

a) As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Partnership had advanced $42.3 million to the Exmar LPG Joint Venture, in which the Partnership has a 50% ownership interest. These advances bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.50% and have no fixed repayment terms. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, interest earned on these advances amounted to $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and was included in interest income in the Partnership's consolidated statements of income (loss). As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the interest accrued on these advances was $nil. These advances were included in current portion of advances to equity-accounted joint ventures, net and in investments in and advances to equity-accounted joint ventures, net in the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets.

b) As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Partnership had advanced $73.4 million to the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture, in which the Partnership has a 30% ownership interest. These advances bear interest at 6.0%. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, interest earned on these advances amounted to $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and was included in interest income in the Partnership's consolidated statements of income (loss). As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the interest accrued on these advances was $6.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively. Both the advances and the accrued interest on these advances were included in investments in and advances to equity-accounted joint ventures, net in the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets.

c) As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Partnership had advanced $1.0 million to the Angola Joint Venture, in which the Partnership has a 33% ownership interest. These advances bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.0%. The advances were included in current portion of advances to equity-accounted joint ventures, net in the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets.

d) The Partnership guarantees its proportionate share of certain loan facilities and obligations on interest rate swaps for certain of 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 March 31, 2021 was $1.4 billion. As at March 31, 2021, all of the Partnership's equity-accounted joint ventures were in compliance with all covenants relating to these loan facilities that the Partnership guarantees. In March 2021, the Angola Joint Venture obtained a waiver for the covenant requirement that was not met at December 31, 2020 until the next test at June 30, 2021.

Less current portion	(350,273)	(250,508)
Long-term debt	1,094,044	1,221,705

As at March 31, 2021, the Partnership had two revolving credit facilities available, which, as at such date, provided for borrowings of up to $342.7 million (December 31, 2020 – $354.8 million), of which $242.7 million (December 31, 2020 – $254.8 million) was undrawn. Interest payments are based on LIBOR plus a margin, where margins ranged from 1.40% to 2.25%. The amount available under the two revolving credit facilities will be reduced by $12.3 million in 2021 and $330.4 million in 2022, when both revolving credit facilities mature. The revolving credit facilities may be used by the Partnership for general partnership purposes. One of the revolving credit facilities is unsecured, while the other revolving credit facility is collateralized by first-priority mortgages granted on two of the Partnership’s vessels, together with other related security, and includes a guarantee from two of the Partnership's subsidiaries of all outstanding amounts.

As at March 31, 2021, the Partnership had five U.S. Dollar-denominated term loans and bonds outstanding which totaled $854.8 million in aggregate principal amount (December 31, 2020 – $873.7 million). Interest payments on the term loans are based on LIBOR plus a margin, where margins ranged from 1.85% to 3.25% and fixed interest payments on the bonds ranging from 4.11% to 4.41%. The five combined term loans and bonds require quarterly interest and principal payments and four have balloon or bullet repayments due at maturity. The term loans and bonds are collateralized by first-priority mortgages on the 16 Partnership vessels to which the loans relate, together with certain other related security. In addition, as at March 31, 2021, all of the outstanding term loans were guaranteed by either the Partnership or the ship-owning entities within the RasGas II Joint Venture, in which the Partnership has a 70% ownership interest.

(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except unit and per unit data and foreign currency exchange rates or unless otherwise indicated)

As at March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Partnership had Norwegian Krone (or NOK) 3.1 billion of senior unsecured bonds in the Norwegian bond market that mature through 2025. As at March 31, 2021, the total amount of the bonds, which are listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, was $356.7 million (December 31, 2020 – $355.5 million). The interest payments on the bonds are based on Norwegian Interbank Offered Rate (or NIBOR) plus a margin, where margins ranged from 4.60% to 6.00%. The Partnership 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 5.74% to 7.89% and the transfer of principal fixed at $360.5 million upon maturity in exchange for NOK 3.1 billion (see Note 11).

The Partnership has two Euro-denominated term loans outstanding, which as at March 31, 2021, totaled 122.6 million Euros ($143.8 million) (December 31, 2020 – 125.0 million Euros ($152.7 million)). Interest payments for one of the term loans are based on the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (or EURIBOR) plus a margin. Interest payments on the remaining term loan are based on EURIBOR where EURIBOR is limited to zero or above zero values, plus a margin. Margins ranged from 0.60% to 1.95% as at March 31, 2021. The term loans require monthly and semi-annual interest and principal payments. The term loans have varying maturities through 2024. The term loans are collateralized by first-priority mortgages on two of the Partnership vessels to which the loans relate, together with certain other related security and are guaranteed by the Partnership and one of its subsidiaries.

The weighted-average interest rates for the Partnership’s long-term debt outstanding as at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were 3.29% and 3.04%, respectively. These rates do not reflect the effect of related interest rate swaps that the Partnership has used to economically hedge certain of its floating-rate debt (see Note 11).

All 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 Partnership’s NOK-denominated bonds, the Partnership’s Euro-denominated term loans and restricted cash, and the change in the valuation of the Partnership’s cross currency swaps, the Partnership incurred foreign exchange gains of $7.0 million and $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The aggregate annual long-term debt principal repayments required under the Partnership's revolving credit facilities, loans and bonds subsequent to March 31, 2021 are $228.7 million (remainder of 2021), $207.7 million (2022), $236.3 million (2023), $124.7 million (2024), $188.1 million (2025) and $469.9 million (thereafter).

Certain loan agreements require that (a) the Partnership maintains minimum levels of tangible net worth and aggregate liquidity, (b) the Partnership maintain certain ratios of vessel values related to the relevant outstanding loan principal balance, (c) the Partnership not exceed a maximum amount of leverage, and (d) certain of the Partnership’s subsidiaries maintain restricted cash deposits. As at March 31, 2021, the Partnership had four credit facilities with an aggregate outstanding loan balance of $540.6 million that require it to maintain minimum vessel-value-to-outstanding-loan-principal-balance ratios of 110%, 115%, 120% and 135%, which as at March 31, 2021, were 134%, 320%, 142% and 201%, respectively. The vessel values used in calculating these ratios are the appraised values provided by third parties, where available, or prepared by the Partnership based on second-hand sale and purchase market data. Since vessel values can be volatile, the Partnership’s estimates of market value may not be indicative of either the current or future prices that could be obtained if the Partnership sold any of the vessels. The Partnership’s ship-owning subsidiaries may not, among other things, pay dividends or distributions if the Partnership's subsidiaries are in default under their term loans and, in addition, one of the term loans in the RasGas II Joint Venture requires it to satisfy a minimum vessel value to outstanding loan principal balance ratio to pay dividends. As at March 31, 2021, the Partnership was in compliance with all covenants relating to the Partnership’s credit facilities and other long-term debt.

9. Income Tax Recovery (Expense)

The components of the provision for income tax recovery (expense) are as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2021	2020
		$	$
Current		(1,386)	(2,512)
Deferred		2,163	—
Income tax recovery (expense)		777	(2,512)

Included in the Partnership's current income tax recovery (expense) are provisions for uncertain tax positions relating to freight taxes. The Partnership 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 in which vessel trading activity occurs. The Partnership reviews its freight tax obligations on a regular basis and may update its assessment of its tax positions based on available information at that time. Such information may include additional 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 Partnership may change accordingly.

These advances are unsecured and have no fixed repayment terms. Affiliates are entities that are under common control with the Partnership.

c) In December 2019, as part of dissolving certain of the Partnership's controlled subsidiaries as a result of a simplification transaction, the Partnership acquired the General Partner's 1% non-controlling interest in certain of the Partnership's subsidiaries for an amount initially estimated at $2.7 million. In April 2020, the purchase price was finalized at $2.2 million.

11. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Partnership uses derivative instruments in accordance with its overall risk management policy.

Foreign Exchange Risk

From time to time, the Partnership economically hedges portions of its forecasted expenditures denominated in foreign currencies with foreign currency forward contracts. As at March 31, 2021, the Partnership was not committed to any foreign currency forward contracts.

The Partnership entered into cross currency swaps concurrently with the issuance of its NOK-denominated senior unsecured bonds (see Note 8), and pursuant to these swaps, the Partnership receives the principal amount in NOK on maturity dates of the swaps in exchange for payments 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 the Partnership’s NOK-denominated bonds due in 2021, 2023 and 2025, and to economically hedge the interest rate exposure. The following table reflects information relating to the cross currency swaps as at March 31, 2021.

Interest Rate Risk

The Partnership enters into interest rate swaps which exchange a receipt of floating interest for a payment of fixed interest to reduce the Partnership’s exposure to interest rate variability on certain of its outstanding floating-rate debt. As at March 31, 2021, the Partnership was committed to the following interest rate swap agreements:


	Interest Rate Index	Principal Amount $	Fair Value / Carrying Amount of Asset (Liability) $	Weighted- Average Remaining Term (years)	Fixed Interest Rate (i)
LIBOR-Based Debt:
U.S. Dollar-denominated interest rate swaps (ii)	LIBOR	191,543	1,111	4.9	0.7%
U.S. Dollar-denominated interest rate swaps (iii)	LIBOR	5,356	(69)	0.3	2.8%
U.S. Dollar-denominated interest rate swaps (ii)(iv)	LIBOR	143,604	(1,643)	3.5	1.4%

U.S. Dollar-denominated interest rate swaps (ii)	LIBOR	157,129	(8,390)	5.7	2.3%
EURIBOR-Based Debt:
Euro-denominated interest rate swaps (v)	EURIBOR	65,106	(5,264)	2.4	3.9%
			(39,212)

(i)Excludes the margins the Partnership pays on its floating-rate term loans, which, at March 31, 2021, ranged from 0.60% to 3.25%.

(ii)Principal amount reduces quarterly.

(iii)Principal amount reduces semi-annually.

(iv)These interest rate swaps are subject to mandatory early termination in 2024 whereby the swaps will be settled based on their fair value at that time.

(v)Principal amount reduces monthly.

As at March 31, 2021, the Partnership had multiple interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps with the same counterparty that are subject to the same master agreement. Each of these master agreements provides for the net settlement of all swaps subject to that master agreement through a single payment in the event of default or termination of any one swap. The fair value of these derivative instruments is presented on a gross basis in the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets. As at March 31, 2021, these interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps had an aggregate fair value asset of $8.6 million (December 31, 2020 – $4.5 million) and an aggregate fair value liability of $58.1 million (December 31, 2020 – $73.7 million). As at March 31, 2021, the Partnership had $nil (December 31, 2020 – $3.8 million) on deposit as security for swap liabilities under certain master agreements. The deposit is presented in restricted cash – current and restricted cash – long-term on the Partnership's consolidated balance sheets.

Credit Risk

The Partnership is 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, the Partnership 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 transactions. In addition, to the extent practical, interest rate swaps are entered into with different counterparties to reduce concentration risk.

The following table presents the classification and fair value amounts of derivative instruments, segregated by type of contract, on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

a) The Partnership’s share of commitments to fund equipment installation and other construction contract costs as at March 31, 2021 is as follows:


	Total $	Remainder of 2021 $	2022 $
Certain consolidated LNG carriers (i)	37,057	23,435	13,622
Bahrain LNG Joint Venture (ii)	11,339	11,339	—
	48,396	34,774	13,622

(i)In June 2019, the Partnership entered into an agreement with a contractor to supply reliquefaction equipment on certain of the Partnership's LNG carriers in 2021 and 2022, for an estimated installed cost of $59.2 million. As at March 31, 2021, the estimated remaining cost of these installations was $37.1 million.

(ii)The Partnership has a 30% ownership interest in the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture which has an LNG receiving and regasification terminal in Bahrain. As at March 31, 2021, the Partnership's proportionate share of the estimated remaining cost of $11.3 million relates to the final construction installment on the LNG terminal. The Bahrain LNG Joint Venture has remaining debt financing of $24 million, of which $7 million relates to the Partnership's proportionate share of the construction commitments included in the table above.

b) The Partnership owns 70% of the Tangguh Joint Venture, which is a party to operating leases whereby the Tangguh Joint Venture is leasing the Tangguh Hiri and Tangguh Sago LNG carriers (or the Tangguh LNG Carriers) to a third party, which is in turn leasing the vessels back to the joint venture. The amounts referenced in Note 5b do not include the Partnership’s minimum charter hire payments to be paid and received under these leases, which are described in more detail in Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 14d to the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements filed with its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020. Under the terms of the leasing arrangement for the Tangguh LNG Carriers, whereby the Tangguh Joint Venture is the lessee, the lessor claims tax depreciation on its lease of these vessels. As is typical in these types of leasing arrangements, tax and change of law risks are assumed by the lessee. Lease payments under the lease arrangements are based on certain tax and financial assumptions at the commencement of the leases. If an assumption proves to be incorrect, the lessor is entitled to increase the lease payments to maintain its agreed after-tax margin. As at March 31, 2021, the carrying amount of this estimated tax indemnification obligation relating to the leasing arrangement through the Tangguh Joint Venture was $5.5 million (December 31, 2020 – $5.7 million) and was included as part of other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets of the Partnership.

c) Management is required to assess whether the Partnership will have sufficient liquidity to continue as a going concern for the one-year period following the issuance of its consolidated financial statements. The Partnership had a working capital deficit of $341.5 million as at March 31, 2021. This working capital deficit includes $350.3 million related to scheduled maturities and repayments of long-term debt in the 12 months following March 31, 2021. Based on the Partnership’s liquidity at the date these unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued, the liquidity it expects to generate from operations over the following year, the cash distributions it expects to receive from its equity-accounted joint ventures, and an expected debt refinancing which the Partnership considers probable based on its history of refinancing similar debt, the Partnership estimates that it will have sufficient liquidity to continue as a going concern for at least the one-year period following the issuance of these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

13. Partnership Units and Net Income (Loss) Per Common Unit

As at March 31, 2021, approximately 58.7% of the Partnership’s common units outstanding were held by the public. The remaining common units, as well as the 1.8% general partner interest, were held by subsidiaries of Teekay Corporation. All of the Partnership's outstanding Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (or the Series A Preferred Units) and Series B Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (or the Series B Preferred Units) are held by the public.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Unit

Limited partners' interest in net income (loss) per common unit is determined by dividing net income (loss), after deducting the amount of net income attributable to the non-controlling interests, the General Partner’s interest and the distributions on the Series A and Series B Preferred Units, by the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period. The distributions payable on the Series A and Series B Preferred Units for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $6.4 million.

Common Unit Repurchases

In December 2018, the Partnership announced that the General Partner's Board of Directors authorized a common unit repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $100 million of the Partnership's common units. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Partnership repurchased 1.4 million common units for $15.3 million, and associated general partnership interest of $0.3 million. Since the announcement of the common unit repurchase program, the Partnership has repurchased a total of 3.6 million common units for a total cost of $44.2 million. As at March 31, 2021, the remaining dollar value of units that may be purchased under the program is approximately $55.8 million.

14. Write-down of Vessels

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the carrying values for six of the Partnership's seven wholly-owned multi-gas carriers (the Unikum Spirit, Vision Spirit, Pan Spirit, Cathinka Spirit, Camilla Spirit and Sonoma Spirit), were written down to their estimated fair values at that time, using appraised values, primarily due to the lower near-term outlook for these types of vessels partly as a result of the economic environment at that time (including the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic), as well as the Partnership receiving notification that the Partnership's then-existing commercial management agreement with a third-party commercial manager would be terminated and replaced by a new commercial management agreement in September 2020. The total impairment charge of $45.0 million was included in write-down of vessels for the three months ended March 31, 2020 in the Partnership's consolidated statements of income (loss).

15. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

The following is a tabular reconciliation of the Partnership's cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances for the periods presented in the Partnership's consolidated statements of cash flows.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in "Item 1 – Financial Statements" of this Report on Form 6-K and with our audited consolidated financial statements contained in "Item 18 – Financial Statements" and with "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in "Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020. Included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F is important information about items that you should consider when evaluating our results, information about the types of contracts we enter into and certain non-GAAP measures we utilize to measure our performance. Unless otherwise indicated, references in this Report to “we,” “us” and “our” and similar terms refer to Teekay LNG Partners L.P. and its subsidiaries.

OVERVIEW

Teekay LNG Partners L.P. is an international provider of marine transportation services for liquefied natural gas (or LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (or LPG). As of March 31, 2021, we had a fleet of 47 LNG carriers and 30 LPG/multi-gas carriers. Our ownership interests in these vessels range from 20% to 100%. In addition to our fleet, we have a 30% ownership interest in an LNG receiving and regasification terminal in Bahrain.

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS IN 2021

LNG Carriers Charter Contracts

In April 2021, we secured a one-year, fixed-rate charter contract for the Oak Spirit LNG carrier, which is expected to commence in August or September 2021.

In March 2021, we secured a one-year, spot market-linked charter contract with a one-year extension option at a fixed rate for the Creole Spirit LNG carrier, which commenced in March 2021.

MALT LNG Carriers Charter Contracts

In March 2021, the charterer of the Arwa Spirit exercised its one-year option to extend the charter contract to May 2022 at a fixed-rate and the Methane Spirit's two-year, fixed-rate charter contract, with a one-year extension option, commenced in April 2021. We have a 52% ownership in both of these vessels.

Quarterly Distributions

As part of our balanced capital allocation strategy, we increased our quarterly cash distributions on our common units by 15% from $0.25 per common unit to $0.2875 per common unit commencing with the quarterly distribution paid in May 2021.

Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Although global demand for LNG and LPG has remained relatively stable, the COVID-19 pandemic may result in reduced demand for LNG and LPG in the future. As our business primarily is the transportation of 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. However, as our business model is to employ our vessels primarily on long-term, fee-based charter contracts, we have not experienced, nor do we expect to experience any significant near-term impact on our results of operations or financial condition absent, among other things, customer defaults or crew health issues.

To date, we have not experienced any COVID-19 cases on board our vessels or any material business interruptions or material negative impact on our cash flows as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Other than being a contributing factor to the non-cash write-down of six of our multi-gas vessels during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as described in "Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 14 – Write-down of Vessels", and certain logistical challenges relating to crew changes across our fleet, our business remains materially unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to monitor the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on us and our industry, including counterparty risk associated with our vessels under contract and the impact on vessel impairments. We have also introduced a number of measures to protect the health and safety of the crews on our vessels and our onshore staff.

Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may include, among others: deterioration of worldwide, regional or national economic conditions and activity and of demand for LNG and LPG; operational disruptions to us or our customers due to worker health risks and the effects of 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, (c) maintenance, modifications or repairs to, or drydocking of, our existing vessels due to worker health or other business disruptions, and (d) the timing of crew changes; 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 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 or business partners.

Given the dynamic nature of the pandemic, including the development of variants of the virus, the duration of any potential business disruption and the related financial impact, and the effects on us and our suppliers, customers and industry, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, and could materially affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Please read "Item 3 - Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020 for more details on potential effects of the coronavirus on our business.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Summary of Consolidated Income from Vessel Operations

Our consolidated income from vessel operations increased to $70.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $21.7 million in the same period of the prior year. The primary reasons for this increase are reflected in the table below and described following the table:

•an increase of $45.0 million due to a write-down of six multi-gas carriers during the first quarter of 2020; and

•an increase of $9.3 million due to lower operational claims on certain of our LNG and LPG carriers in the first quarter of 2021;

partially offset by:

•a decrease of $4.0 million primarily due to timing of repairs and maintenance expenditures performed; and

•a decrease of $3.1 million due to 21 off-hire and idle days for a scheduled dry docking and repositioning of the Creole Spirit LNG carrier and this vessel earning a lower rate upon redeployment in March 2021.

Summary of Equity Income

Our equity income from equity-accounted joint ventures increased to $37.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $0.4 million in the same period of the prior year. The primary reasons for this increase are reflected in the table below and described following the table:

•an increase of $37.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to unrealized gains on non-designated interest rate swaps due to an increase in long-term forward LIBOR benchmark interest rates, compared to unrealized losses in the same period of the prior year due to a decrease in long-term forward LIBOR benchmark interest rates;

•an increase of $3.1 million due to higher rates earned on certain LPG carriers in our 50%-owned joint venture with Exmar NV (or the Exmar LPG Joint Venture); and

•an increase of $2.3 million due to lower credit loss provisions recorded for three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to the initial credit loss provision recognized upon commencement of the sales-type lease for the Bahrain regasification terminal and associated FSU in January 2020 in our 30%-owned joint venture in Bahrain (or the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture). The increase was partially offset by higher credit loss provision in certain of our equity-accounted joint ventures due to declines in estimated charter-free vessel fair values for the three months ended March 31, 2021 (see “Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments”);

partially offset by:

•a decrease of $3.5 million due to lower charter rates earned upon redeployment of the Marib Spirit, Arwa Spirit and Methane Spirit between May 2020 and February 2021 in our 52%-owned joint venture with Marubeni Corporation (or the MALT Joint Venture); and

•a decrease of $3.1 million due to unscheduled off-hire for repairs on certain of our equity-accounted LNG carriers in our 50%-owned joint venture with China LNG Shipping (Holdings) Limited (or the Yamal LNG Joint Venture) for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Liquefied Natural Gas Segment

As at March 31, 2021, our liquefied natural gas segment fleet included 47 LNG carriers and one LNG regasification terminal in Bahrain, in which our interests ranged from 20% to 100%.

The following table compares our liquefied natural gas segment’s operating results, revenue days, calendar-ship-days and utilization for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and compares its net voyage revenues (which is a non-GAAP financial measure) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 to income from vessel operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. With the exception of equity income, all data in this table only includes the 22 LNG carriers that are accounted for under the consolidation method of accounting and the Magellan Spirit chartered-in from our 52%-owned MALT Joint Venture. A comparison of the results from vessels and assets accounted for under the equity method is described later in this section under "Equity Income".

(1)Includes direct general and administrative expenses and indirect general and administrative expenses (allocated to each segment based on estimated use of resources).

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, our liquefied natural gas segment’s total calendar-ship-days decreased by 1.6% to 2,070 days, from 2,103 days for the same period of the prior year due to one less calendar day per vessel and due to the sales of the WilForce and WilPride LNG carriers in January 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, vessels in this segment were off-hire for 20 days for a scheduled dry dock, three days for unscheduled repairs and one idle day, compared to vessels in this segment being off-hire for six days for unscheduled repairs in the same period of the prior year. As a result, our utilization decreased to 98.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 99.7% for the same period of the prior year.

Net Voyage Revenues. Net voyage revenues increased by $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily as a result of:

•an increase of $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to lower operational claims on certain of our LNG carriers;

partially offset by:

•a decrease of $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to 21 off-hire and idle days for a scheduled dry docking and repositioning of the Creole Spirit LNG carrier and this vessel earning a lower rate upon redeployment in March 2021.

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased by $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily as a result of timing of repairs and maintenance expenditures performed on certain of our LNG carriers.

Equity Income. Equity income was $32.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $0.2 million for the same period of the prior year as set forth in the table below:

Angola LNG Carriers. The increase in equity income of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period of the prior year, was primarily due to unrealized gains on non-designated derivative instruments. The increase in equity income was partially offset by 27 off-hire days for the scheduled dry docking of two Angola LNG Carriers and an increase in unrealized credit loss provisions recorded in the first quarter of 2021 as a result of declines in estimated charter-free vessel valuations, which are servicing time-charter contracts accounted for as direct financing leases.

Bahrain LNG Joint Venture. The increase in equity income of $39.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period of the prior year, was primarily due to unrealized gains on non-designated derivative instruments and lower unrealized credit loss provision compared to higher initial unrealized credit loss provision recognized during the first quarter of 2020 upon commencement of the terminal.

MALT LNG Carriers. The decrease in equity income of $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period of the prior year, was primarily due to lower charter rates upon redeployment of the Marib Spirit, Arwa Spirit and Methane Spirit between May 2020 and February 2021. The decrease was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense due to lower debt balances.

Pan Union LNG Carriers. The decrease in equity income of $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period of the prior year, was primarily due to timing of operating expenditures and an increase in unrealized credit loss provisions recorded in the first quarter of 2021 as a result of declines in estimated charter-free vessel valuations, which are servicing time-charter contracts accounted for as direct financing and sales-type leases.

RasGas III LNG Carriers. The decrease in equity income of $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period of the prior year, was primarily due to an increase in unrealized credit loss provisions recorded in the first quarter of 2021 as a result of declines in estimated charter-free vessel valuations, which are servicing time-charter contracts accounted for as direct financing leases. The decrease was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense due to lower debt balances.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas Segment

As at March 31, 2021, our liquefied petroleum gas segment fleet included 23 LPG carriers, in which we own a 50% interest, and seven multi-gas carriers which are wholly-owned.

The following table compares our liquefied petroleum gas segment’s operating results, revenue days, calendar-ship-days and utilization for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and compares its net voyage revenues (which is a non-GAAP financial measure) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 to loss from vessel operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. With the exception of equity income, all data in this table only includes the seven multi-gas carriers that are accounted for under the consolidation method of accounting. A comparison of the results from vessels and assets accounted for under the equity method are described below under "Equity Income".


(in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except revenue days, calendar-ship-days and percentages)	Three Months Ended March 31,		% Change

Utilization (A)/(B)	94.3%	100.0%

(1)Includes direct general and administrative expenses and indirect general and administrative expenses (allocated to each segment based on estimated use of resources).

Our liquefied petroleum gas segment’s total calendar-ship-days decreased to 630 days for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 637 days for the same period of the prior year. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 vessels in this segment were off-hire for 36 days for unscheduled repairs compared to vessels in this segment being fully operational during the same period of the prior year. As a result, our utilization decreased to 94.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 100.0% for the same period of the prior year.

Net Voyage Revenues. Net voyage revenues increased by $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same periods of the prior year, primarily due to higher charter rates earned. The increase was partially offset by 36 unscheduled off-hire days for certain of our multi-gas carriers due to repairs.

Write-down of Vessels. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, six of our seven wholly-owned multi-gas carriers (the Unikum Spirit, Vision Spirit, Pan Spirit, Cathinka Spirit, Camilla Spirit and Sonoma Spirit), were written down to their estimated fair values for a total write-down of $45.0 million.

Equity Income. Equity income increased by $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period of the prior year, from Exmar LPG Joint Venture, primarily due to higher rates earned, unrealized gains on non-designated derivative instruments and a decrease in interest expense due to lower debt balances.

Other Operating Results

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $29.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $36.7 million for the same period of the prior year. Interest expense primarily reflects interest incurred on our long-term debt and obligations related to finance leases. The decrease was primarily due to lower debt balance as a result of debt repayments and a decrease in LIBOR for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period of the prior year.

Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Non-designated Derivative Instruments. Net realized and unrealized gains on non-designated derivative instruments were $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to losses of $20.5 million in the same period of the prior year. Please see “Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 11 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for a further breakdown of such amounts by type of derivative contract and whether such gains (losses) were realized or unrealized.

We enter into interest rate swaps which exchange a receipt of floating interest for a payment of fixed interest to reduce exposure to interest rate variability on certain of our outstanding U.S. Dollar-denominated and Euro-denominated floating rate debt. As at March 31, 2021 and 2020, we had interest rate swap agreements, excluding swap agreements held by our equity-accounted joint ventures, with aggregate average net outstanding notional amounts of approximately $824 million and $827 million, respectively, and with average fixed rates of 2.7% and 3.0%, respectively, for the respective three-month period then ended.

The increase in realized losses relating to our interest rate swap agreements of $19.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period of the prior year was primarily due to the termination of the interest rate swap agreement associated with the debt refinancing in our 70%-owned consolidated joint venture, TK BLT Corporation (or the Tangguh Joint Venture).

Three months ended March 31, 2021

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized unrealized gains on our interest rate swap agreements associated with our U.S. Dollar-denominated long-term debt. This resulted from $6.5 million of unrealized gains primarily relating to an increase in long-term forward LIBOR benchmark interest rates relative to the beginning of 2021, partially offset by a reclassification of $21.7 million of previously recognized unrealized losses to realized losses primarily related to termination of interest rate swaps in the Tangguh Joint Venture and cash settlements of our other interest rate swap agreements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized unrealized gains on our interest rate swap agreements associated with our Euro-denominated long-term debt. This resulted from a reclassification of $0.8 million of previously recognized unrealized losses to realized losses related to actual cash settlements of our interest rate swaps and $0.1 million of unrealized gains due to the appreciation of the U.S. Dollar against the Euro partially offset by decreases in long-term forward EURIBOR benchmark interest rates relative to the beginning of 2021.

Three months ended March 31, 2020

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized unrealized losses on our interest rate swap agreements associated with our U.S. Dollar-denominated long-term debt. This resulted from $20.5 million of unrealized losses relating to decreases in long-term forward LIBOR benchmark interest rates relative to the beginning of 2020, partially offset by a reclassification of $2.1 million of previously recognized unrealized losses to realized losses related to cash settlements of our interest rate swaps.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized unrealized gains on our interest rate swap agreements associated with our Euro-denominated long-term debt. This resulted from a reclassification of $0.8 million of previously recognized unrealized losses to realized losses related to actual cash settlements of our interest rate swaps and $0.1 million of unrealized gains due to the appreciation of the U.S. Dollar against the Euro partially offset by decreases in long-term forward EURIBOR benchmark interest rates relative to the beginning of 2020.

Foreign Currency Exchange Gain. Foreign currency exchange gains were $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $4.7 million for the same period of the prior year. These foreign currency exchange gains were primarily due to the relevant period-end revaluation of our NOK-denominated debt and our Euro-denominated term loans for financial reporting purposes into U.S. Dollars, net of the realized and unrealized gains and losses 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 the three months ended March 31, 2021, foreign currency exchange gains included unrealized gains on our cross currency swaps of $5.1 million and on the revaluation of our Euro-denominated and non-U.S. Dollar-denominated cash, restricted cash, working capital and debt of $4.4 million. These gains were partially offset by realized losses on our cross currency swaps of $1.3 million and unrealized losses on the revaluation of our NOK-denominated debt of $1.2 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, foreign currency exchange gains included unrealized gains on the revaluation of our NOK-denominated debt of $54.0 million and unrealized gains on the revaluation of our Euro-denominated and non-U.S. Dollar-denominated cash, restricted cash, working capital and debt of $2.0 million. These gains were partially offset by unrealized losses on our cross currency swaps of $49.5 million and realized losses on our cross currency swaps of $1.8 million.

Other expense. Other expense increased to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $0.4 million for the same period of the prior year primarily due to: an increase in unrealized credit loss provision recorded in the first quarter of 2021 as a result of declines of estimated charter-free valuations of certain of our LNG vessels, which are servicing time-charter contracts accounted for as direct financing leases, and the impact of such declines on our expectation of the value of such vessels upon completion of their existing charter contracts.

	2021	2020
Other expense	(3,769)	(361)
Included in other expense:

Income tax recovery (expense). Income tax recovery was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to an expense of $2.5 million for the same period of the prior year primarily due to changes in deferred tax balances due to timing of deductions in the Tangguh Joint Venture, in which we have a 70% ownership interest.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Other comprehensive income was $43.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to other comprehensive loss of $53.9 million for the same period of the prior year due to changes in the valuation of interest rate swaps accounted for using hedge accounting within Teekay Nakilat Corporation (or the RasGas II Joint Venture), in which we own a 70% interest, and in certain of our equity-accounted joint ventures.

Liquidity and Cash Needs

Our business strategy is to employ a substantial majority of our vessels on fixed-rate contracts primarily with large energy companies and their transportation subsidiaries. Our primary liquidity needs for the remainder of 2021 through 2022 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 our Series A and Series B Preferred Units and common units and funding any common and preferred unit repurchases we may undertake. We anticipate that our primary sources of funds for our liquidity needs will be cash flows from operations, proceeds from financings, cash distributions we expect to receive from our equity-accounted joint ventures, and availability under existing undrawn revolving credit facilities. For at least the one-year period following the date of this filing, we expect that our existing liquidity, combined with the cash flow we expect to generate from our operations, dividends we expect to receive from our equity-accounted joint ventures, and an expected debt refinancing which we consider probable based on our history of refinancing similar debt, will be sufficient to finance the majority of our liquidity needs. Our capital commitments as at March 31, 2021 are described in “Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies”.

Our ability to continue to expand the size of our fleet over the long-term is dependent upon our ability to generate operating cash flow, obtain long-term bank borrowings, sale-leaseback financing and other debt, as well as our ability to raise debt or equity financing through public or private offerings.

Our revolving credit facilities, term loans and obligations related to finance leases are described in "Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 5a – Chartered-in Vessels – Obligations related to Finance Leases" and "Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 8 – Long-Term Debt". Our term loans, revolving credit facilities and obligations related to finance leases contain covenants and other restrictions typical of debt financing secured by vessels, which restrict the vessel-owning or lessee subsidiaries from:

•incurring or guaranteeing indebtedness;

•changing ownership or structure, including mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions;

•paying 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; and

•entering into a new line of business.

Certain of our credit facilities require us to maintain financial covenants. If we do not meet these financial covenants, the lender or lessor may limit our ability to borrow additional funds under our credit facilities and accelerate the repayment of our revolving credit facilities, term loans and obligations related to finance leases, which would have a significant impact on our short-term liquidity requirements. As at March 31, 2021, we had four facilities with an aggregate outstanding loan balance of $540.6 million that require us to maintain minimum vessel-value-to-outstanding-loan-principal-balance ratios of 110%, 115%, 120% and 135%, which as at March 31, 2021, were 134%, 320%, 142% and 201%, respectively. The vessel values used in calculating 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. Since vessel values can be volatile, our estimate of market value may not be indicative of either the current or future price that could be obtained if the related vessel was actually sold. As at March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants relating to our credit facilities, term loans and finance leases. We also guarantee our proportionate share of certain loan facilities and obligations on interest rate swaps for our equity-accounted joint ventures. As at March 31, 2021, this proportionate share, based on the aggregate principal amount of the loan facilities and fair value of the interest rate swaps as at March 31, 2021 was $1.4 billion. As at March 31, 2021, all of our equity-accounted joint ventures were in compliance with all covenants relating to these loan facilities that we guarantee. In March 2021, our 33%-owned joint venture with NYK and Mitsui & Co. Ltd. (or the Angola Joint Venture) obtained a waiver for the covenant requirement that was not met at December 31, 2020 until the next test at June 30, 2021.

As at March 31, 2021, our consolidated cash and cash equivalents were $163.5 million, compared to $206.8 million at December 31, 2020. The change in cash and cash equivalents is explained in the "Cash Flows" section below. Our total liquidity, which consists of cash, cash equivalents and undrawn credit facilities, was $406.2 million as at March 31, 2021, compared to $461.6 million as at December 31, 2020.

As at March 31, 2021, we had a working capital deficit of $341.5 million. This working capital deficit primarily arose from $350.3 million of long-term debt being classified as current at March 31, 2021 relating to scheduled debt maturities and repayments in the 12 months following March 31, 2021. Scheduled debt maturities include $140.3 million of NOK bonds maturing in October 2021 and $100.0 million of revolving credit facilities due by March 2022 which we expect to refinance to meet our minimum liquidity requirements under our financial covenants. As at March 31, 2021, we had available liquidity from undrawn revolving credit facilities of $242.7 million.

Cash Flows. The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:


(in thousands of U.S. Dollars)	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021	2020
Net cash flow from operating activities	28,079	328,733
Net cash flow used for financing activities	(70,615)	(147,956)
Net cash flow used for investing activities	(7,191)	(7,830)

Operating Cash Flows. Net cash flow from operating activities decreased to $28.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from $328.7 million for the same period of the prior year, primarily due to: cash flows generated by receipts from the sale of the WilForce and WilPride sales-type leases in January 2020; the termination of an interest rate swap agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2021; and the timing of settlements of non-cash working capital. These decreases were partially offset by increased distributions from our equity-accounted joint ventures.

Net cash flow from operating activities depends upon the timing and amount of dry-docking expenditures, repair and maintenance activity, the impact of vessel additions and dispositions on operating cash flows, foreign currency rates, changes in interest rates, timing of distributions received or return of capital from equity-accounted investments, fluctuations in working capital balances and spot market hire rates (to the extent we have vessels operating in the spot market). The number of vessel dry dockings tends to vary each period depending on the vessel's maintenance schedule.

Our equity-accounted joint ventures are generally required to distribute all available cash to their owners. However, 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. The timing and amount of dividends distributed by our equity-accounted joint ventures are affected by the timing and amounts of debt repayments in the joint ventures, capital requirements of the joint ventures, as well as any cash reserves maintained in the joint ventures for operations, capital expenditures and/or as required under financing agreements.

Financing Cash Flows. Net cash flow used for financing activities decreased to $70.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from $148.0 million for the same period of the prior year, primarily due to: a $258.4 million decrease in debt prepayments and repayments due to the prepayment of debt collateralized by the WilForce and WilPride upon their sales in January 2020 and the refinancing of one of our revolving credit facilities in March 2020; $15.6 million of cash used to repurchase common units during the first quarter of 2020; and $2.2 million of cash used to acquire the non-controlling interest in certain of our subsidiaries during the three months ended March 31, 2020. These decreases in cash used for financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021, were partially offset by: $191.4 million decrease in net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt; and $7.1 million increase in cash distributions paid during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as a result of increases in cash distributions on common units in May 2020.

Investing Cash Flows. Net cash flow used for investing activities decreased to $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $7.8 million for the same period of the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in cash expenditures for vessels and equipment.

(1)Our interest-bearing obligations include bonds, commercial bank debt and obligations related to finance leases. Please read “Item 1 - Financial Statements: Note 5a – Chartered-in Vessels – Obligations related to Finance Leases" and “Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 8 – Long-Term Debt” for the terms upon which future interest payments are determined as well as “Item 1 - Financial Statements: Note 11 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for a summary of the terms of our derivative instruments which hedge certain of our floating rate interest-bearing obligations.

(2)Includes, in addition to lease payments, amounts we are required to pay to purchase the leased assets at the end of their respective lease terms.

(3)We have corresponding leases whereby we are the lessor and expect to receive approximately $205.3 million under these leases from the remainder of 2021 to 2029.

(4)The Bahrain LNG Joint Venture, in which we have a 30% ownership interest, has an LNG receiving and regasification terminal in Bahrain. The Bahrain LNG Joint Venture completed the mechanical construction and commissioning of the Bahrain terminal in late-2019 and began receiving terminal use payments in early-2020 under its 20-year agreement with NOGA. As at March 31, 2021, our 30% share of the estimated remaining costs included in the table above is $11.3 million, of which the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture has secured undrawn debt financing of $7 million related to our proportionate share.

In June 2019, the Partnership entered into an agreement with a contractor to supply equipment on certain of our LNG carriers in 2021 and 2022, for an estimated installed cost of $59.2 million. As at March 31, 2021, the estimated remaining costs of this installation were $37.1 million.

(5)Euro-denominated and NOK-denominated obligations are presented in U.S. Dollars and have been converted using the prevailing exchange rates as of March 31, 2021.

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. The details of our equity-accounted joint ventures are shown in “Item 18 – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements: Note 7 – Equity-Accounted Joint Ventures” of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which require 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 the 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 materially differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. Accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in "Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Critical Accounting Estimates" of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020, 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 critical accounting policies, please read "Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Critical Accounting Estimates" and "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020. Other than what has been disclosed in "Item 1

– Financial Statements: Note 2 – Accounting Pronouncements", there have been no significant changes in accounting estimates and assumptions from those discussed our the 2020 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

Goodwill

At March 31, 2021, we had two reporting units with goodwill attributable to them. Based on conditions that existed at March 31, 2021, we do not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that the goodwill attributable to these reporting units might be impaired. However, certain factors that impact this assessment are inherently difficult to forecast and, as such, we cannot provide any assurance 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. Some of these factors are discussed in more detail in the following section entitled Forward-Looking Statements.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Report on Form 6-K for the three months ended March 31, 2021 contains certain forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) concerning future events and our operations, performance and financial condition, including, in particular, statements regarding:

•the expected scope, duration and potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and related effects on our industry and business, including, among other things, our liquidity, customer defaults and crew health;

•the expected timing and completion of dry docking activities;

•our liquidity needs, including our anticipated funds and sources of financing for liquidity and working capital needs and the sufficiency of cash flows, and our estimation that we will have sufficient liquidity for at least a one-year period;

•the expected commencement of certain charter contracts;

•the expected timing and cost relating to the additional equipment to be installed for certain of our LNG carriers;

•expected exposure to interest rate volatility;

•expected interest payments; and

•uncertain tax positions.

Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and may contain the words believe, anticipate, expect, estimate, project, will be, will continue, will likely result, plan, intend or words or phrases of similar meanings. These statements involve known and unknown risks and are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to: competitive factors in the markets in which we operate; changes in the financial stability of our charterers; changes in our expenses; potential for early termination of long-term contracts and our ability to renew or replace long-term contracts; our ability to secure charter contracts for our vessels; loss of any customer, time-charter contract or vessel; changes in production or price of LNG or LPG; potential development of active short-term or spot LNG or LPG shipping markets; spot market rate fluctuations; our ability to fund our liquidity needs during the next 12 months, including our ability to access additional cash and capital; our and our joint ventures’ potential inability to raise financing, to refinance our or their debt maturities, or to purchase additional vessels; our exposure to interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations; conditions in the public equity and debt markets; political, governmental and economic instability in the regions and markets in which we operate; the application of sanctions to us or any of our counterparties or joint venture partners; LNG or LPG project delays or abandonment; the duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic and any resulting effects on the markets in which we operate; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our ability to maintain safe and efficient operations; and other factors detailed from time to time in our periodic reports filed with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020.
