Including these items, the Company reported on a GAAP basis, a net loss attributable to the stockholders of Teekay of $96.5 million, or $1.36 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to net loss attributable to the stockholders of Teekay of $153.1 million, or $2.10 per share, for the same period of the prior year. Net revenues(2) for the second quarter of 2011 were $433.0 million, compared to $485.9 million for the same period of the prior year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company reported an adjusted net loss attributable to stockholders of Teekay(1) of $64.1 million, or $0.90 per share, compared to adjusted net loss attributable to the stockholders of Teekay of $30.0 million, or $0.41 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

On July 5, 2011, the Company declared a cash dividend on its common stock of $0.31625 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The cash dividend was paid on July 29, 2011, to all shareholders of record on July 15, 2011.
“We successfully concluded two of our business development projects in the second quarter, signing important contracts in both our FPSO and shuttle tanker businesses,” commented Peter Evensen, Teekay Corporation–s President and Chief Executive Officer. “In June, we entered into a new FPSO contract with BG Group plc to service the Knarr oil and gas field in the North Sea, commencing in early 2014, and our daughter company Teekay Offshore Partners entered into a new shuttle tanker contract with another subsidiary of BG in Brazil to charter four newbuilding shuttle tankers, beginning in mid- to late-2013.”
“Teekay–s diversified business model continues to be an important source of differentiation and fixed-rate cash flows, with the two new FPSO and shuttle contracts together adding approximately $2.7 billion of forward fixed-rate revenues to our existing portfolio of approximately $12 billion of forward fixed-rate revenues,” Mr. Evensen continued. “In addition to the attractive near- and long-term opportunities in our offshore business, we have also benefited from a strengthening market and enhanced project activity in the LNG sector. During the second quarter, the increased level of LNG shipping demand enabled us to secure new short-term charters for two of our smaller LNG carriers, the Arctic Spirit and Polar Spirit, at attractive rates and we have been actively pursuing new project opportunities in both LNG transportation and floating regasification. With the pace of tanker supply growth acting as a drag on spot tanker rates, Teekay Parent continued to reduce its exposure to the spot tanker market through the redeliveries of time-chartered in vessels and tactical fleet management. During the second quarter, Teekay Parent redelivered three spot-traded, time-chartered in vessels upon the expiry of their contracts and expects to redeliver an additional five time-chartered in vessels during the remainder of 2011. Our strong in-house chartering operation has also provided us with opportunities to time-charter out vessels on a short-term basis at rates exceeding the current spot market levels.”
“Finally, market opportunities have enabled us to make good progress under our $200 million share repurchase authorization,” Mr. Evensen continued. “Since we last reported on May 12th, we have repurchased $62 million of stock, bringing our total repurchase to date to $144 million.”
Operating Results
The following tables highlight certain financial information for each of Teekay–s four publicly-listed entities: Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. (Teekay Offshore) (NYSE: TOO), Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (Teekay LNG) (NYSE: TGP), Teekay Tankers Ltd. (Teekay Tankers) (NYSE: TNK) and Teekay, excluding results attributed to Teekay Offshore, Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers, referred to herein as Teekay Parent. A brief description of each entity and an analysis of its respective financial results follow the tables below. Please also refer to the “Fleet List” section below and Appendix B to this release for further details.
Teekay Offshore Partners L.P.
Teekay Offshore is an international provider of marine transportation, oil production and storage services to the offshore oil industry through its fleet of 40 shuttle tankers (including five chartered-in vessels, and four committed newbuildings), two floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) units, five floating, storage and offtake (FSO) units and 10 conventional oil tankers. Teekay Offshore also has the right to participate in certain other FPSO and vessel opportunities. As at June 30, 2011, Teekay Parent owned a 37.6 percent interest in Teekay Offshore (including the 2 percent sole general partner interest).
Cash flow from vessel operations from Teekay Offshore increased to $95.2 million in the second quarter of 2011, from $89.1 million in the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition from Teekay of the Cidade de Rio das Ostras FPSO unit on October 1, 2010, higher revenues relating to the amended Statoil master agreement effective September 2010, which includes the earnings from the Amundsen Spirit and the Nansen Spirit shuttle tanker newbuildings, and lower time-charter hire expenses resulting from re-delivery of two in-chartered vessels. This was partially offset by lower revenue resulting from fewer revenue days from vessels operating under contracts of affreightment and higher vessel operating expenses in the shuttle tanker fleet, as well as the sale of the Karratha Spirit FSO unit during the first quarter of 2011.
In June 2011, Teekay Offshore entered into a new contract with a subsidiary of BG Group plc (BG) to provide shuttle tanker services in Brazil. The contract involves the time-charter out of four Suezmax newbuilding shuttle tankers to be constructed by Samsung Heavy Industries for a total delivered cost of approximately $480 million. Upon their scheduled delivery in mid- to late-2013, the vessels will commence operations under 10-year time-charter contracts which include certain contract extension and vessel purchase options. In July 2011, Teekay Offshore sold 0.7 million common units in a private placement for net proceeds of $20.4 million (including the general partners– contribution), which were used to partially finance the shipyard installments relating to the four newbuilding shuttle tankers.
For the second quarter of 2011, Teekay Offshore–s quarterly distribution was $0.50 per unit. The cash distribution received by Teekay Parent based on its common unit ownership and general partnership interest in Teekay Offshore totaled $13.4 million for the second quarter of 2011, as detailed in Appendix D to this release.
In early August 2011, Teekay Offshore sold its 1993-built conventional Aframax tanker, Scotia Spirit, to a third party for net proceeds of $8.3 million.
Teekay LNG Partners L.P.
Teekay LNG provides liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and crude oil marine transportation services under long-term, fixed-rate charter contracts with major energy and utility companies through its current fleet of 17 LNG carriers, three LPG/Multigas carriers and 11 conventional tankers. In addition, Teekay LNG has agreed to acquire one newbuilding LPG carrier from a subsidiary of IM Skaugen (Skaugen) in 2011, one newbuilding Multigas carrier from Teekay Parent in 2011 and a 33 percent interest in four newbuilding LNG carriers from Teekay Parent in 2011 through early 2012, upon their respective delivery dates. Teekay Parent currently owns a 43.6 percent interest in Teekay LNG (including the 2 percent sole general partner interest).
Cash flow from vessel operations from Teekay LNG during the second quarter of 2011 decreased to $63.1 million from $65.4 million in the same period of the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to the sale of the Dania Spirit LPG carrier in November 2010 and an increase in off-hire days in the second quarter of 2011 relating to scheduled drydockings, partially offset by the earnings from the Multigas carrier acquired in mid-June 2011, which commenced a 15-year fixed-rate charter to Skaugen.
In April 2011, Teekay LNG completed a public offering of 4.3 million common units, which provided net proceeds to the partnership of approximately $162 million. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repay a portion of the partnership–s revolving credit facilities, which may be redrawn in the future to fund the equity component of the partnership–s purchase of the 33 percent interest in the four Angola LNG carrier newbuildings, the remaining two Skaugen LPG/Multigas carriers, as well as fund other potential acquisitions.
For the second quarter of 2011, Teekay LNG–s quarterly distribution was $0.63 per unit. The cash distribution received by Teekay Parent based on its common unit ownership and general partnership interest in Teekay LNG totaled $19.1 million for the second quarter of 2011, as detailed in Appendix D to this release.
Teekay Tankers Ltd.
Teekay Tankers– fleet includes 11 Aframax tankers and six Suezmax tankers (including two in-chartered Aframax tankers). In addition, Teekay Tankers owns a 50 percent interest in a VLCC newbuilding scheduled to deliver in April 2013 and has invested $115 million in three-year, first-priority mortgage loans secured by two VLCC newbuildings which yield an average of 10 percent per annum. Of the 17 vessels currently in operation, 10 are, or will be, employed on fixed-rate time-charters, generally ranging from one to three years in initial duration, with the remaining vessels trading in Teekay–s spot tanker pools. Teekay Parent currently owns a 26.0 percent interest in Teekay Tankers (including 100 percent of the outstanding Class B common shares, which together with its current ownership of Class A common shares, provides Teekay voting control of Teekay Tankers).
Cash flow from vessel operations from Teekay Tankers decreased to $17.9 million in the second quarter of 2011, from $19.1 million in the same period of the prior year, primarily due to lower average realized tanker rates for its time-charter and spot fleets during the second quarter of 2011, and an increase in operating expenses mainly related to higher repairs and maintenance costs compared to the same period of the prior year.
On August 10, 2011, Teekay Tankers declared a second quarter 2011 dividend of $0.21 per share which will be paid on August 26, 2011 to all shareholders of record on August 19, 2011. Based on its ownership of Teekay Tankers Class A and Class B shares, the dividend to be paid to Teekay Parent will total $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2011.
Teekay Tankers recently time-chartered in two Aframax tankers for firm periods of six and four months, respectively, with options to extend up to an additional 18 and 16 months, respectively. Teekay Tankers also recently time-chartered out two of its owned Aframax tankers, each for a period of 12 months, at rates approximately $3,000 per day higher than the rates for the firm periods of the two time-chartered in vessels. The combined result of these charter transactions will be accretive to Teekay Tankers– dividend for the firm period of the two time-chartered in contracts and provide further potential upside through in-charter extension options. Teekay Tankers– currently has fixed-rate contract coverage of approximately 60 percent for the second half of 2011 and 36 percent for fiscal 2012.
Teekay Parent
In addition to its equity ownership interests in Teekay Offshore, Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers, Teekay Parent directly owns a substantial fleet of vessels. As at August 1, 2011, this included 17 conventional tankers, one shuttle tanker, and three FPSO units. In addition, Teekay Parent currently has under construction or conversion two FPSO units. In addition, as at August 10, 2011, Teekay Parent had 26 chartered-in conventional tankers (including eight vessels owned by its subsidiaries), two chartered-in LNG carriers owned by Teekay LNG and two chartered-in shuttle tankers owned by Teekay Offshore.
In the second quarter of 2011, Teekay Parent generated negative cash flow from vessel operations of $27.4 million, compared to positive cash flow from vessel operations of $21.5 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in cash flow is primarily due to the sale of vessels, including the Cidade de Rio das Ostras FPSO unit to Teekay Offshore in October 2010, one Suezmax tanker and one Aframax tanker to Teekay Tankers during November 2010, a non-recurring $29 million retroactive component of revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2010 related to the signing of the Foinaven FPSO contract amendment, and a decrease in average realized spot tanker rates for the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year.
In April 2011, Teekay Parent entered into short-term fixed-rate contracts for the Arctic Spirit and Polar Spirit LNG carriers, which are time-chartered in from Teekay LNG on a long-term basis. Teekay Parent–s time-charter out contracts for these vessels are for six and four months, respectively, and the Arctic Spirit contract includes two one-year options to extend at the charterer–s option.
On June 30, 2011, Teekay Parent entered into an agreement with BG to charter a newbuilding FPSO unit for the Knarr oil and gas field located in the North Sea. The newbuilding FPSO unit is scheduled to deliver in the first quarter of 2014 and will commence operations for a firm period of either six or ten years plus extension options for a total period of up to 20 years. BG has until the end of 2012 to decide on the firm period of the charter contract.
In July 2011, Teekay Parent took delivery of the Scott Spirit shuttle tanker newbuilding, the fourth and final vessel in the “Explorer” class of shuttle tankers which includes the Amundsen Spirit, Peary Spirit and Nansen Spirit sold to Teekay Offshore in late 2010 through mid-2011.
Tanker Market
Crude tanker freight rates weakened during the second quarter and into the third quarter of 2011 due to a combination of tanker supply growth, geopolitical factors, and seasonal factors. The tanker market continues to be affected by an oversupply of vessels relative to demand, which is dragging down tanker rates. In addition, the loss of Libyan crude oil production due to political unrest had a negative impact on Aframax rates in the Mediterranean, while North Sea production was impacted by a series of unplanned oilfield shutdowns. Tanker rates were further affected by seasonal refinery maintenance programs and the onset of summer oilfield maintenance in the North Sea.
The world tanker fleet grew by a net 13.8 million deadweight tonnes (mdwt), or 3.1 percent, in the first half of 2011 compared to a net increase of 10.6 mdwt, or 2.5 percent, in the same period last year. A combination of weak spot tanker freight rates and relatively high demolition prices have led to 7.3 mdwt of tanker removals through the first half of 2011, which has helped dampen tanker fleet growth. With increasing customer discrimination toward older double hull tankers on the rise, we expect this level of scrapping to persist through the second half of the year. In addition, new tanker ordering has remained virtually non-existent, with only 3.5 mdwt ordered since the start of the year. If this level of ordering continues for the rest of the year, it will be the lowest annual level of new tanker orders since 1985.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) is forecasting global oil demand of 89.5 million barrels per day (mb/d) in 2011, an increase of 1.2 mb/d from 2010 levels. The IEA also recently released its outlook for 2012 in which it calls for global oil demand growth of 1.5 mb/d, which is primarily driven by expected continued demand growth in China.
Teekay Parent Conventional Tanker Fleet Performance
The table below highlights the operating performance of Teekay Parent–s owned and in-chartered conventional tankers participating in the Company–s commercial tonnage pools and vessels on period out-charters with an initial term greater than one year, measured in net revenues per revenue day, or time-charter equivalent (TCE) rates. Revenue days represent the total number of vessel calendar days less off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings, or mandated surveys.
Fleet List
As at August 10, 2011, Teekay–s consolidated fleet consisted of 152 vessels, including chartered-in vessels and newbuildings under construction/conversion, but excluding vessels managed for third parties, as summarized in the following table:
