NASSAU, THE BAHAMAS -
Highlights
- Declared a cash distribution of $8.0 million, or $0.40 per
unit, for the fourth quarter, an increase of 3.9% from the prior
quarter
- Increased quarterly cash distributions by 14.3% since initial
public offering in December 2006
- As previously announced, acquired one floating storage and
offtake unit from Teekay Corporation in October 2007
Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. (Teekay Offshore or the
Partnership) (NYSE: TOO) today reported net income of $7.0 million
for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, compared to net income of
$2.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. Net income
before non-controlling interest included non-cash gains totaling
$14.0 million relating primarily to foreign currency translation
gains and deferred income tax recoveries in the fourth quarter of
2007, and non-cash losses totaling $10.6 million relating primarily
to foreign currency translation losses and deferred income tax
expenses in the previous quarter.
During the three months ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership
generated $6.5 million of distributable cash flow(1), a decrease
from $7.3 million for the third quarter of 2007. This decrease is
primarily due to $3.5 million of revenues earned in the third
quarter relating to the completion of the mobilization and hook-up
of the FSO Navion Saga at the Volve field and an increase in vessel
operating expenses in the fourth quarter, partially offset by
higher shuttle tanker utilization in the fourth quarter and the
acquisition of one FSO unit, the Dampier Spirit, in October
2007.
As previously announced, Teekay Offshore GP LLC, the general
partner of Teekay Offshore, increased the cash distribution to
$0.40 per unit ($1.60 per unit on an annualized basis) for the
fourth quarter of 2007 from $0.385 per unit ($1.54 per unit on an
annualized basis) for the previous quarter, as a result of the
Dampier Spirit acquisition. The total cash distribution for the
fourth quarter of 2007 was $8.0 million. The Partnership has raised
its quarterly distributions by 14.3% since its initial public
offering in December 2006. The cash distribution was paid on
February 14, 2008, to all unitholders of record on February 8,
2008.
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $19.7
million, compared to a net loss of $32.7 million for the same
period last year. Net income before non-controlling interest in
2007 included non-cash losses totaling $3.5 million relating
primarily to foreign currency translation losses, net of deferred
income tax recoveries. Net income before non-controlling interest
in 2006 included non-cash losses totaling $70.1 million relating
primarily to foreign currency translation losses and deferred
income tax expenses, net of gain on sale of vessels and
equipment.
For accounting purposes, the Partnership is required to revalue
all foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities
based on the prevailing exchange rate at the end of each reporting
period. This revaluation does not affect the Partnership's cash
flows or the calculation of distributable cash flow, but results in
the recognition of unrealized foreign currency translation gains or
losses in the income statement, as reflected in the foreign
exchange gains (losses).
(1) Distributable cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure used
by certain investors to measure the financial performance of the
Partnership and other master limited partnerships. Please see
Appendix A for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the
most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
The Partnership owns two shuttle tankers, one floating storage
and offtake (FSO) unit, and a 26% interest in Teekay Offshore
Operating L.P. (OPCO), which owns and operates the world's largest
fleet of shuttle tankers, in addition to FSO units and double-hull
conventional oil tankers. The Partnership controls OPCO through the
ownership of its general partner, and the Partnership's parent
company, Teekay Corporation (Teekay), owns the remaining 74%
interest in OPCO. Since the Partnership controls OPCO through its
ownership of its general partner, the Partnership's financial
statements includes the consolidated results of both the
Partnership and OPCO. Initially, the Partnership conducted all
operations through OPCO and its subsidiaries. However, the
operations of the Partnership's recent acquisition of two shuttle
tankers and one FSO are conducted through wholly-owned
subsidiaries. In the future, the Partnership intends to conduct
additional operations through wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Future Growth Opportunities
Teekay is obligated to offer Teekay Offshore certain shuttle
tankers, FSO units, and Floating Production Storage and Offloading
(FPSO) units it may acquire in the future, provided the vessels are
servicing contracts in excess of three years in length:
Shuttle Tankers
Teekay has four Aframax shuttle tanker newbuildings on order
which are scheduled to deliver between the third quarter of 2010
and the third quarter of 2011. It is anticipated that these vessels
will be offered to the Partnership and will be used to service
either new long-term, fixed-rate contracts Teekay may be awarded
prior to delivery or OPCO's contracts-of-affreightment in the North
Sea.
FPSO Units
Through its 50%-owned joint venture with Teekay Petrojarl ASA,
Teekay is obligated to offer the Partnership its interest in
certain future FPSO projects.
Teekay's Remaining Interest in OPCO
Teekay may offer to Teekay Offshore additional limited partner
interests in OPCO that Teekay owns. Teekay currently owns 74% of
OPCO and Teekay Offshore owns the remaining 26%.
Operating Results
The following table highlights certain financial information for
Teekay Offshore's three main segments: the shuttle tanker segment,
the conventional tanker segment, and the FSO segment (Please read

(i)Cash flow from vessel operations represents income from vessel
operations before depreciation and amortization expense and amortization
of deferred gains. Cash flow from vessel operations is a non-GAAP
financial measure used by certain investors to measure the financial
performance of shipping companies. Please see the Partnership's web site
at www.teekayoffshore.com for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure as
used in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measure.
Shuttle Tanker Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership's shuttle
tanker segment in the fourth quarter remained virtually unchanged
from the previous quarter. During the fourth quarter, the
Partnership's vessel operating expenses in this segment increased
primarily due to an increase in seafarer salaries, including a
one-time bonus payment due to the renegotiation of seafarer
contracts, and various unexpected repair costs. The increase in
vessel operating expenses was partially offset by higher revenues
due mainly to fewer drydockings during the fourth quarter and the
inclusion of the results of the Navion Gothenburg for one full
quarter, compared to only two months in the previous quarter.
Conventional Tanker Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership's
conventional tanker segment decreased to $13.7 million for the
fourth quarter of 2007, compared to $15.1 million for the previous
quarter, primarily due to an increase in seafarer salaries and the
timing of services and repairs.
FSO Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership's FSO
segment decreased to $9.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2007,
compared to $12.2 million for the previous quarter, primarily due
to $3.5 million of revenues earned in the third quarter relating to
the completion of the mobilization and hook-up of the FSO Navion
Saga at the Volve field, partially offset by the inclusion of the
results of the Dampier Spirit, which was acquired on October 1,
2007.

(1) During August 2006, Teekay Shipping Corporation (Teekay) formed Teekay
Offshore, as part of its strategy to expand in the marine transportation,
processing and storage sectors of the offshore oil industry. Teekay
Offshore owns a 26% interest in Teekay Offshore Operating L.P. (OPCO),
which owns and operates the world's largest fleet of shuttle tankers, in
addition to FSO units and double-hull conventional tankers. Teekay Offshore
controls OPCO through its ownership of OPCO's general partner and Teekay
owns the remaining 74% interest in OPCO. Prior to the closing of Teekay
Offshore's initial public offering on December 19, 2006, Teekay transferred
eight Aframax-class conventional crude oil tankers to a subsidiary of Norsk
Teekay Holdings Ltd. (Norsk Teekay) and one FSO unit to Teekay Offshore
Australia Trust. Subsequently, Teekay transferred to OPCO all of the
outstanding interests of four wholly-owned subsidiaries, Norsk Teekay,
Teekay Nordic Holdings Inc., Teekay Offshore Australia Trust and Pattani
Spirit LLC (collectively referred to as Teekay Offshore Partners
Predecessor). Combined consolidated financial results for periods prior to
December 19, 2006 are attributable primarily to Teekay Offshore Partners
Predecessor.
(2) For periods prior to the Partnership's IPO on December 19, 2006,
represents the number of units received by Teekay in exchange for a 26%
interest in OPCO at the time of the IPO.

APPENDIX A - RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE
(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description of Non-GAAP Financial Measure - Distributable Cash Flow (DCF)
Distributable cash flow represents net income adjusted for depreciation
and amortization expense, non-controlling interest, non-cash expenses,
estimated maintenance capital expenditures, gains and losses on vessel
sales, income taxes and foreign exchange related items. Maintenance
capital expenditures represent those capital expenditures required to
maintain over the long term the operating capacity of, or the revenue
generated by, the Partnership's capital assets. Distributable cash flow
is a quantitative standard used in the publicly-traded partnership
investment community to assist in evaluating a partnership's ability to
make quarterly cash distributions. Distributable cash flow is not
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other
indicator of the Partnership's performance required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The table below
reconciles distributable cash flow to net income.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This release contains forward-looking statements (as defined in
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)
which reflect management's current views with respect to certain
future events and performance, including statements regarding: the
Partnership's future growth prospects; the potential for Teekay to
offer up to four Aframax shuttle tanker newbuildings either with
new long-term fixed-rate contracts, or to service the
contracts-of-affreightment in the North Sea; the potential for
Teekay to offer to Teekay Offshore additional limited partner
interests in OPCO; and the Partnership's exposure to foreign
currency fluctuations, particularly in Norwegian Kroner. The
following factors are among those that could cause actual results
to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, which
involve risks and uncertainties, and that should be considered in
evaluating any such statement: changes in production of offshore
oil, either generally or in particular regions; changes in trading
patterns significantly affecting overall vessel tonnage
requirements; changes in applicable industry laws and regulations
and the timing of implementation of new laws and regulations; the
potential for early termination of long-term contracts and
inability of the Partnership or OPCO to renew or replace long-term
contracts; the failure of Teekay to offer additional interests in
OPCO to Teekay Offshore; the Partnership's ability to raise
financing to purchase additional vessels and/or interests in OPCO;
changes to the amount or proportion of revenues, expenses, or debt
service costs denominated in foreign currencies; and other factors
discussed in Teekay Offshore's filings from time to time with the
SEC, including its Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2006. The Partnership expressly disclaims any
obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or
revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to
reflect any change in the Partnership's expectations with respect
thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on
which any such statement is based.
