Highlights
-- Generated distributable cash flow of $56.8 million for the second
quarter of 2012, an increase of 51 percent from the second quarter of
2011, and an increase of 12 percent from the first quarter of 2012.
-- Declared second quarter 2012 cash distribution of $0.675 per unit.

Teekay GP LLC, the general partner of Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (Teekay LNG or the Partnership), today reported the Partnership's results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. During the second quarter of 2012, the Partnership generated distributable cash flow(1) of $56.8 million, compared to $37.6 million in the same quarter of the previous year. The increase primarily reflects the incremental distributable cash flow resulting from the following acquisitions: Multigas carriers delivered in June and October 2011; a 33 percent interest in four liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers delivered between August 2011 and January 2012; one liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carrier delivered in September 2011; and a 52 percent interest in six LNG carriers completed in February 2012.
On July 13, 2012, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.675 per unit for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The cash distribution will be paid on August 10, 2012 to all unitholders of record on July 25, 2012.
"The Partnership's distributable cash flow experienced a healthy increase during the second quarter, primarily as a result of the full quarter contribution from the six Maersk LNG carriers acquired in the first quarter of 2012 through our joint venture with Marubeni," commented Peter Evensen, Chief Executive Officer of Teekay GP L.L.C. "Since closing the acquisition at the end of February, the integration of these vessels into our fleet is now substantially complete."
"The LNG shipping market continues to exhibit strong fundamentals which enabled the Partnership to recently secure a new three-year time-charter for the Magellan Spirit at a rate which is approximately 20 percent higher than under its existing charter," Mr. Evensen continued. "The new contract will commence in September 2013 when the Magellan Spirit's current time-charter expires. In addition, the Partnership has been actively assessing opportunities to make additional accretive investments in new LNG-related projects and existing LNG assets with long-term contracts. With approximately $400 million of available liquidity, the Partnership is well-positioned for further acquisitions."

Financial Summary
The Partnership reported adjusted net income attributable to the partners(1) (as detailed in Appendix A to this release) of $40.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to $23.6 million for the same period of the prior year. Adjusted net income attributable to the partners excludes a number of specific items that had the net effect of decreasing net income by $2.8 million and $26.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as detailed in Appendix A. Including these items, the Partnership reported net income (loss) attributable to the partners, on a GAAP basis, of $37.7 million and ($3.1) million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Partnership reported adjusted net income attributable to the partners(1) (as detailed in Appendix A to this release) of $76.1 million, compared to $49.4 million for the same period of the prior year. Adjusted net income attributable to the partners excludes a number of specific items that had the net effect of decreasing net income by $13.7 million and $27.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as detailed in Appendix A. Including these items, the Partnership reported net income attributable to the partners, on a GAAP basis, of $62.4 million and $21.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
For accounting purposes, the Partnership is required to recognize the changes in the fair value of its derivative instruments on its consolidated statements of income (loss). This method of accounting does not affect the Partnership's cash flows or the calculation of distributable cash flow, but results in the recognition of unrealized gains or losses on the consolidated statements of income (loss) as detailed in footnotes 1 and 2 to the Summary Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) included in this release.

i. 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 the Partnership's website at www.teekaylng.com for a
reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure as used in this release to the
most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
ii. Cash flow from vessel operations (CFVO) represents income from vessel
operations before (a) depreciation and amortization expense, (b)
amortization of in-process revenue contracts and (c) adjusting for
direct financing leases to a cash basis. CFVO is included because
certain investors use this data to measure a company's financial
performance. CFVO is not required by GAAP and should not be considered
as an alternative to net income, equity income or any other indicator of
the Partnership's performance required by GAAP. Please see the
Partnership's website at www.teekaylng.com for a reconciliation of this
non-GAAP measure as used in this release to the most directly comparable
GAAP financial measure.
iii.The Partnership's equity accounted investments for the three months
ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 include the Partnership's 40 percent
interest in Teekay Nakilat (III) Corporation, which owns four LNG
carriers and the Partnership's 50 percent interest in the Excalibur and
Excelsior Joint Ventures, which owns one LNG carrier and one
regasification unit. The Partnership's equity accounted investment for
the three months ended June 30, 2012 also includes the Partnership's 33
percent interest in four LNG carriers that were delivered in mid-2011
through early 2012 servicing the Angola LNG Project; and the
Partnership's 52 percent interest in MALT LNG Holdings ApS, the joint
venture between the Partnership and Maurbeni Corporation, which acquired
six LNG carriers on February 28, 2012.
Liquefied Gas Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership's Liquefied Gas segment, excluding equity-accounted vessels, increased to $54.3 million in the second quarter of 2012 from $50.2 million in the same quarter of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to higher voyage revenues as a result of the Multigas and LPG carrier acquisitions previously discussed in this release and lower operating expenses.
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership's equity-accounted vessels in the Liquefied Gas segment increased to $38.0 million in the second quarter of 2012 from $14.5 million in the same quarter of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to the Teekay LNG-Marubeni joint venture's acquisition of six LNG carriers from A.P. Moller Maersk A/P (the MALT LNG Carriers) in February 2012 and the acquisition of a 33 percent interest in the four Angola LNG Carriers from Teekay Corporation between August 2011 and January 2012.
Conventional Tanker Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership's Conventional Tanker segment increased to $16.7 million for the second quarter of 2012 from $12.9 million for the same quarter of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to 72 off-hire days in the second quarter of 2011 related to scheduled dry dockings compared to no off-hire days during the second quarter of 2012, and lower operating expenses.
Liquidity
As of June 30, 2012, the Partnership had total liquidity of $402.9 million (comprised of $114.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $288.0 million in undrawn credit facilities), compared to total liquidity of $318.1 million as of March 31, 2012. The increase in the Partnership's liquidity balance is primarily due to the NOK 700 million ($125.0 million) Norwegian bond offering that was completed in May 2012.

2. 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
consolidated statements of income (loss).
Foreign exchange gain (loss) includes realized gains relating to the
amounts the Partnership received to settle the Partnership's non-
designated cross currency swap that was entered into as an economic
hedge in relation to the Partnership's Norwegian Kroner (NOK)-
denominated unsecured bonds. The Partnership issued NOK 700 million
unsecured bonds in May 2012 maturing in 2017. Foreign exchange gain
(loss) also includes unrealized gains (losses) relating to the change in
fair value of such derivative instruments, partially offset by
unrealized gains (losses) on the revaluation of the NOK bonds as
detailed in the table below:

APPENDIX A - SPECIFIC ITEMS AFFECTING NET INCOME (LOSS)
(in thousands of U.S. Dollars)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Set forth below is a reconciliation of the Partnership's unaudited adjusted net income attributable to the partners, a non-GAAP financial measure, to net income attributable to the partners as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Partnership believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Partnership's financial performance. The items below are also typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of the Partnership's financial results. Adjusted net income attributable to the partners is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

APPENDIX B - 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 (loss) adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash items, estimated maintenance capital expenditures, unrealized gains and losses from derivatives, deferred 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 GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other indicator of the Partnership's performance required by GAAP. The table below reconciles distributable cash flow to net income (loss).
