HAMILTON, BERMUDA -
Highlights
- Declared a cash distribution of $0.40 per unit for the first
quarter, up 14.3 percent from the same quarter of the prior
year
- Generated distributable cash flow of $6.8 million
- Received offer from Teekay Corporation to purchase up to an
additional 25 percent interest in Teekay Offshore Operating L.P.
(OPCO)
Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. (Teekay Offshore or the
Partnership) today reported net income of $0.5 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to net income of $6.8
million for the same period last year. In the first quarter of
2008, net income before non-controlling interest included non-cash
losses of $6.1 million relating primarily to foreign currency
translation losses, changes in fair value of a non-designated
derivative instrument and deferred income tax expenses. In the
first quarter of 2007, net income before non-controlling interest
included non-cash losses totaling $0.4 million relating primarily
to foreign currency translation losses, net of deferred income tax
recoveries.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Partnership
generated $6.8 million of distributable cash flow(1), up from $6.5
million for the fourth quarter of 2007. On May 1, 2008, the
Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.40 per unit for the
first quarter of 2008. The cash distribution is payable on May 15,
2008, to all unitholders of record on May 8, 2008.
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).
The Partnership owns two shuttle tankers, one floating storage
and offtake (FSO) unit, and a 26 percent interest in Teekay
Offshore Operating L.P., 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
percent 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 two shuttle tankers and one FSO are conducted through
the Partnership's wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Potential Acquisition of Additional Interests in OPCO
The parent of our general partner, Teekay, has offered to sell
to Teekay Offshore an additional 25 percent interest in OPCO, in
which Teekay Offshore currently owns a 26 percent interest. The
terms of the offer have not yet been finalized and will be subject
to the approval of Teekay Offshore's board of directors and
Conflicts Committee. The board of directors of Teekay Corporation
has approved the offer to sell the 25 percent interest in OPCO.
(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.
Future Growth Opportunities
Teekay is obligated to offer Teekay Offshore shuttle tankers,
FSO units, and Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO)
units it may acquire in the future, provided the vessels are
servicing contracts of three or more 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 percent-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
If the offer to sell Teekay Offshore an additional 25 percent
interest in OPCO is accepted, Teekay may still offer to Teekay
Offshore the remaining 49 percent limited partner interest in OPCO
that it will still own.
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 refer

(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 decreased to $39.3 million for the first quarter of
2008, compared to $40.2 million for the previous quarter, primarily
due to an increase in the number of off-hire days due to scheduled
drydockings and unexpected repairs performed during the first
quarter, partially offset by a decrease in time-charter hire
expense and vessel operating expenses. Two of OPCO's shuttle
tankers incurred a total of 102 unscheduled off-hire days during
the first quarter due to unexpected repairs which resulted in a
reduction in net voyage revenues of approximately $3.8 million. In
addition, OPCO incurred $1.4 million of other reductions in revenue
during the first quarter, which are of a non-recurring nature.
Time-charter hire expense decreased from the prior quarter as a
result of the re-delivery of two in-chartered shuttle tankers
during the first quarter, and OPCO's purchase of a previously
in-chartered shuttle tanker in March 2008.
Conventional Tanker Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership's
conventional tanker segment decreased to $13.0 million for the
first quarter of 2008, compared to $13.7 million for the previous
quarter, primarily due to an increase in voyage expenses, partially
offset by a decrease in vessel operating expenses due to the timing
of repairs and maintenance expenditures.
FSO Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership's FSO
segment in the first quarter of 2008 remained virtually unchanged
from the previous quarter. Net voyage revenues decreased primarily
as a result of a non-recurring mooring fee earned on the Apollo
Spirit in the previous quarter. Vessel operating expenses decreased
due to costs associated with a hose change-out on one of the FSO
units in the previous quarter.

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 secure future FPSO projects through its joint venture
Teekay Petrojarl ASA; the offer from Teekay to purchase up to an
additional 25 percent interest in OPCO; 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; required approvals by the board of directors of Teekay
and Teekay Offshore, as well as the conflicts committee of Teekay
Offshore to acquire additional interests in OPCO; 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, 2007. 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.
