Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. (Teekay Offshore or the
Partnership) (NYSE: TOO) today reported preliminary second quarter
2008 financial results. The Partnership also announced today that
it plans to restate financial results from the fourth quarter of
2006 through the end of the second quarter of 2008, including
preliminary and previously announced results included in this
earnings release, to adjust its accounting treatment for certain
derivative transactions under the Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, as more fully discussed below under
"-Restatement of Financial Statements." None of the results
included in this earnings release reflect restatement
adjustments.
Summary of Preliminary Results
The Partnership reported net income of $19.2 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to net income of $3.7 million
for the same period last year. In the second quarter of 2008, net
income before non-controlling interest included non-cash gains of
$41.2 million relating primarily to changes in fair value of
interest rate swaps not qualifying for hedge accounting and
deferred income tax recoveries, net of foreign currency translation
losses. In the second quarter of 2007, net income before
non-controlling interest included non-cash losses totaling $6.5
million relating primarily to foreign currency translation losses
and deferred income tax expenses. Net voyage revenues(1) for the
second quarter of 2008 increased to $162.5 million from $152.4
million in the same quarter of the prior year.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $19.7
million, compared to net income of $10.5 million for the same
period last year. In the six months ended June 30, 2008, net income
before non-controlling interest included non-cash gains of $35.2
million relating primarily to changes in fair value of interest
rate swaps not qualifying for hedge accounting and deferred income
tax recoveries, net of foreign currency translation losses. In the
six months ended June 30, 2007, net income before non-controlling
interest included non-cash losses totaling $6.9 million relating
primarily to foreign currency translation losses, net of deferred
income tax recoveries.
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership
generated $10.5 million of distributable cash flow(2), up from $6.8
million for the first quarter of 2008, primarily as a result of
higher shuttle tanker utilization, fewer drydockings performed
during the second quarter and increased cashflow as a result of the
acquisition of an additional 25 percent interest in OPCO on June
18, 2008. On August 1, 2008, the Partnership declared a cash
distribution of $0.40 per unit for the second quarter of 2008. The
cash distribution is payable on August 14, 2008, to all unitholders
of record on August 7, 2008.
The Partnership owns two shuttle tankers, one Floating Storage
and Offtake (FSO) unit, and a 51 percent interest in OPCO, which
owns and operates the world's largest fleet of shuttle tankers, in
addition to four FSO units, nine double-hull conventional oil
tankers and two lightering vessels.
(1) Net voyage revenues represents voyage revenues less voyage
expenses, which comprise all expenses relating to certain voyages,
including bunker fuel expenses, port fees, canal tolls and
brokerage commissions. Net voyage revenues is a non-GAAP financial
measure used by certain investors to measure the financial
performance of shipping companies. Please see Appendix B for a
reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly
comparable financial measure under United States generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP).
(2) 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.
Acquisition of Additional Interest in OPCO
On June 18, 2008, Teekay Offshore purchased an additional 25
percent interest in OPCO from Teekay for $205 million.
Concurrently, OPCO acquired from Teekay two 2008-built Aframax
lightering tankers, specially designed to be used in ship-to-ship
oil transfer operations, for a total cost of $106 million,
including the assumption of $90 million of existing debt relating
to the vessels. These tankers are currently employed on 10-year,
fixed-rate, bareboat charters to Teekay's 50 percent-owned joint
venture company, Skaugen PetroTrans (with options exercisable by
the charterer to extend up to an additional five years).
Also on July 18, 2008, Teekay Offshore completed a follow-on
equity offering of its common units, generating $140.0 million in
gross proceeds. On July 16, 2008, the underwriters exercised a
portion of their 30-day over-allotment option, resulting in an
additional $7.5 million in gross proceeds to Teekay Offshore.
Concurrently with the public offering, Teekay Offshore completed
a private placement with Teekay, generating gross proceeds of $65.0
million. In total, Teekay Offshore raised gross equity proceeds of
$216.8 million (including its general partner's proportionate
capital contribution), which were used to finance the acquisitions
noted above.
As a result of these acquisitions, management anticipates
recommending to the Board of Directors of the Partnership's general
partner an increase in the quarterly cash distribution rate in the
range of 12 to 15 percent over the current annualized distribution
of $1.60 per unit. If approved, this increase will be reflected in
the third quarter's distribution, which will be paid in November
2008.
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
that 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 their delivery or OPCO's contracts-of-affreightment in the
North Sea.
FPSO Units
On July 9, 2008, Teekay completed the acquisition of the
remaining 35.3 percent of Teekay Petrojarl ASA it did not
previously own. Teekay Petrojarl is a leading operator of FPSO
units, with four units operating in the North Sea and one unit
operating in Brazil.
Based on a pre-existing agreement, Teekay is obligated to offer
Teekay Offshore, within one year after having acquired 100 percent
of Teekay Petrojarl, its interests in Teekay Petrojarl's existing
FPSO units that operate under charter contracts with remaining
terms greater than three years. Teekay is also obligated to offer
Teekay Offshore its interest in future FPSO projects with charter
contracts greater than three years.
Teekay's Remaining Interest in OPCO
Teekay may offer to Teekay Offshore additional limited partner
interests in OPCO that Teekay owns. Teekay currently owns 49
percent of OPCO and Teekay Offshore owns the remaining 51
percent.
Operating Results
The following table highlights certain financial information for
Teekay Offshore's three main segments: the shuttle tanker segment,

(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 increased to $44.3 million in the second quarter of
2008, compared to $39.3 million in the previous quarter, primarily
due to an increase in shuttle tanker utilization and a decrease in
the number of off-hire days as a result of less drydockings
performed during the second quarter. Vessel operating expenses
increased and time-charter hire expense decreased from the prior
quarter primarily as a result of OPCO's purchase of a previously
in-chartered shuttle tanker in late March 2008. Vessel operating
expenses also increased from the prior quarter due to the timing of
repairs and maintenance expenditures scheduled to coincide with
expected seasonal maintenance of offshore oil facilities in the
North Sea.
Conventional Tanker Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership's
conventional tanker segment increased to $14.8 million in the
second quarter of 2008, compared to $13.0 million in the previous
quarter, primarily due to a scheduled drydock that was performed in
the first quarter of 2008 and the inclusion of the results of the
two lightering tankers acquired by OPCO in June 2008.
FSO Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership's FSO
segment in the second quarter of 2008 remained virtually unchanged
from the previous quarter. Net voyage revenues increased primarily
as a result of the reimbursement of specific crew costs as
stipulated in the charter contract for one of the FSO units and
foreign exchange fluctuations. Vessel operating expenses increased
due to foreign exchange fluctuations and costs associated with a
hose change-out on one of the FSO units in the second quarter.
Depreciation and amortization increased due to a change in the
estimated useful life of one of the FSO units.

which one is 50% owned.
(2) Includes two lightering tankers acquired by OPCO in June 2008.
Liquidity
As of June 30, 2008, the Partnership had total liquidity of
$258.8 million, comprised of $113.0 million in cash and cash
equivalents and $145.8 million in undrawn revolving credit
facilities.
Restatement of Financial Statements for Accounting under SFAS
133
The Partnership plans to restate financial results from the
fourth quarter of 2006 through the end of the second quarter of
2008, including preliminary and previously announced results
included in this earnings release, to adjust its accounting
treatment for certain derivative transactions under SFAS 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
The restatements will correct the Partnership's accounting for
certain of its interest rate swaps used in its hedging strategies
to manage interest rate risks. To date, the Partnership has
accounted for the applicable derivatives as hedging instruments in
accordance with SFAS 133. The fair values of these derivatives was
recorded as derivative assets and liabilities on the Partnership's
consolidated balance sheet, with the fair value changes each
quarter recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
The Partnership recently discovered that since the fourth quarter
of 2006, certain of its derivatives did not qualify for hedge
accounting treatment under SFAS 133 because aspects of the
Partnership's hedge documentation did not meet the strict technical
requirements of the standard. Accordingly, the Partnership will
recognize the changes in the fair value of these derivatives
through the statement of income rather than as a component of
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Partnership's
consolidated balance sheet and statement of changes in Partners'
equity.
The Partnership believes that the applicable derivative
transactions were consistent with its risk management policies and
that its overall hedging strategy continues to be sound. The change
to the accounting treatment for these transactions will not affect
the economics of the derivative transactions nor the Partnership's
cash flows, distributable cash flow, liquidity or total partners'
equity at June 30, 2008. However, the restatements will result in
greater fluctuations in reported net income (loss) for the restated
periods and will affect the preliminary financial results announced
today for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008. The
Partnership will finalize restatement amounts for the current
period and applicable previous periods as soon as practicable and
will release restated results and file amendments to its previous
filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as
required. Accordingly, the Partnership's previously reported
financial statements for the periods from 2006 to the first quarter
of 2008 should not be relied upon and the financial results
included in this earnings release, which do not reflect the
accounting adjustments described above, should be considered
preliminary. Ernst & Young LLP, the Partnership's independent
registered public accounting firm, will complete its review of the
financial statements as at June 30, 2008 and for the three- and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 following the
completion of the restatements noted above.
The Audit Committee of the Partnership's general partner has
discussed the matters related to the restatement with Ernst &
Young LLP.

APPENDIX A -- PRELIMINARY RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL
MEASURE (1)
(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, change in fair value of interest
rate swaps not qualifying for hedge accounting, 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 United States generally accepted accounting
principles and should not be considered as an alternative to net
income or any other indicator of the Partnership's performance
required by United States generally accepted accounting principles.
The table below reconciles distributable cash flow to net
income.

partner interests in OPCO; the Partnership's exposure to foreign
currency fluctuations, particularly in Norwegian Kroner; and the
timing of the Partnership's determination of restated results for
prior periods and the effect of restatements on prior period
results. 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: failure of Teekay
Offshore GP LLC to authorize the proposed increase to the cash
distributions; 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;
the determination of the Partnership's restatement of prior period
results; 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.
