Teekay LNG Partners Reports Fourth Quarter and Annual Results

May 15, 2009

HAMILTON, BERMUDA–(Marketwire – May 15, 2009) – Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (Teekay LNG or the Partnership) (NYSE:TGP) today reported its fourth quarter and annual results for 2008. The Partnership generated distributable cash flow(1) of $29.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, bringing total distributable cash flow for 2008 to $104.8 million. On February 2, 2009, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.57 per unit ($2.28 per unit on an annualized basis). The cash distribution was paid on February 13, 2009 to all unitholders of record on February 6, 2009. On May 4, 2009, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.57 per unit for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The cash distribution is payable on May 15, 2009 to all unitholders of record on May 8, 2009. “Our cash flows are generated from long-term fixed-rate contracts with terms ranging from 10 to 25 years, providing the Partnership with stable distributable cash flow,” commented Peter Evensen, Chief Executive Officer of Teekay GP LLC. “In addition, our long-term contracts are with creditworthy counterparties and have no exposure to commodity price fluctuation,” continued Mr. Evensen. “With the proceeds from our recently completed follow-on equity offering, the Partnership’s total liquidity comfortably exceeds our total remaining newbuilding capital expenditures. The combination of our long-term fixed-rate contracts, strong liquidity position, and fully-financed newbuilding program provides unitholders with stable cash distributions.” (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 B for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Teekay LNG’s Fleet In April 2009, the Partnership took delivery of the first of five Skaugen LPG/Mulitgas vessels which commenced a 15-year fixed-rate charter concurrently. The following table summarizes the Partnership’s fleet as of May 1, 2009: /T/ ——————————————————— Number of Vessels ——————————- Delivered Committed Vessels Vessels Total ——————————- LNG Carrier Fleet(1) 13 2 15 LPG Carrier Fleet 2 4(2) 6 Suezmax Tanker Fleet 8 – 8 ——————————————————— Total 23 6 29 ——————————————————— (1) Excludes Teekay’s 33 percent interest in the four Angola LNG newbuildings, as described below. (2) Represents the four Skaugen LPG carriers currently under construction, as described below. /T/ Future LNG/LPG Projects Below is a summary of LNG and LPG newbuildings that the Partnership has agreed to, or has the right to, acquire: Tangguh LNG The Partnership has agreed to acquire Teekay Corporation’s (Teekay’s) 70 percent interest in two 155,000 cubic meter newbuilding LNG carriers and expects the purchase to be completed during the second quarter of 2009. The Tangguh vessels will provide transportation services to The Tangguh Production Sharing Contractors, a consortium led by a subsidiary of BP plc, to service the Tangguh LNG project in Indonesia. The vessels will be chartered at fixed rates, with inflation adjustments, for a period of 20 years. An Indonesian joint venture partner owns the remaining 30 percent interest in these vessels. Skaugen LPG The Partnership has agreed to acquire a total of five LPG carriers from subsidiaries of IM Skaugen ASA (Skaugen), four of which are currently under construction and will be purchased upon their deliveries from the shipyard scheduled in 2009 and 2010. Upon their delivery, the vessels will commence service under 15-year fixed-rate charters to Skaugen. The first of the five vessels was delivered in April 2009. Angola LNG As previously announced, a consortium in which Teekay has a 33 percent interest, has agreed to charter four newbuilding LNG carriers for a period of 20 years to the Angola LNG Project, which is being developed by subsidiaries of Chevron, Sonangol, BP, Total and ENI. The vessels will be chartered at fixed rates, with inflation adjustments, following their deliveries, which are scheduled to commence in 2011. In accordance with an agreement between Teekay and Teekay LNG, Teekay is obligated to offer the Partnership its interest in these vessels and related charter contracts no later than 180 days before delivery of the newbuilding LNG carriers. Financial Summary The Partnership reported a net loss of $15.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, compared to a net loss of $0.6 million for the same period of the prior year. The results for the quarters ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 included a number of specific non-cash items which had the net effect of decreasing net income by $30.7 million and $12.2 million, respectively, as detailed in Appendix A to this release. Excluding the items in Appendix A, net income would have been $14.8 million and $11.6 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net voyage revenues(1) for the fourth quarter of 2008 increased to $88.1 million from $68.7 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $19.5 million, compared to net income of $25.7 million for the prior year. The results for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 included a number of specific non-cash items which had the net effect of decreasing net income by $30.0 million and $14.4 million, respectively, as detailed in Appendix A to this release. Excluding the items in Appendix A, net income would have been $49.5 million and $40.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net voyage revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased to $300.5 million from $268.8 million in the prior year. For accounting purposes, the Partnership is required to recognize the changes in the fair value of its derivative instruments in the statement of income. 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 statements of income. Operating Results The following table highlights certain financial information for Teekay LNG’s segments: the liquefied gas segment and the Suezmax segment (please refer to the “Teekay LNG’s Fleet” section of this release above and Appendix C for further details). The Partnership’s financial statements for the prior periods include historical results of vessels acquired by the Partnership from Teekay, referred to herein as the Dropdown Predecessor, for the period when these vessels were owned and operated by Teekay. /T/ —————————————————————————- Three Months Ended Three Months Ended December 31, 2008 December 31, 2007 (unaudited) (unaudited) ————————————————- Liquefied Liquefied (in thousands of U.S. Gas Suezmax Gas Suezmax dollars) Segment Segment Total Segment Segment Total —————————————————————————- Net voyage revenues(i) 54,415 33,652 88,067 47,992 20,706 68,698 Vessel operating expenses 13,648 6,766 20,414 8,458 6,719 15,177 Depreciation & amortization 15,140 4,973 20,113 12,131 5,011 17,142 Cash flow from vessel operations(ii) 39,058 15,153 54,211 37,456 11,205 48,661 —————————————————————————- (i) Net voyage revenues in the Suezmax tanker segment includes unrealized mark-to-market gains (losses) of the derivative liability relating to the agreement between the Partnership and Teekay for the Toledo Spirit time-charter. For the three months ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, these unrealized gains were $9.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. (ii) Cash flow from vessel operations represents income from vessel operations before depreciation and amortization expense and unrealized gains or losses relating to derivatives. 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.teekaylng.com for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure as used in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. /T/ (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 the Partnership’s web site 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. Liquefied Gas Segment Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership’s liquefied gas segment increased to $39.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 from $37.5 million in the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to the acquisition of the two Kenai LNG carriers on April 1, 2008. Suezmax Segment Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership’s Suezmax tanker segment increased to $15.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 from $11.2 million in the same quarter of the prior year. This is primarily due to a $6.6 million increase in the Teide Spirit profit share recognized in the fourth quarter of 2008 (the time charter for the Teide Spirit contains a profit share component tied to spot tanker rates which is determined in the fourth quarter of each year), partially offset by an increase in vessel operating expenses related mainly to higher crewing costs and 27 off-hire days experienced due to a scheduled drydocking in the fourth quarter of 2008. Liquidity As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership had total liquidity of $491.8 million, comprised of $117.6 million in cash and cash equivalents (of which $22.9 million is only available to the Tangguh joint venture) and $374.2 million in undrawn medium-term revolving credit facilities.

Voyage revenues for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 includes an unrealized loss of $2.0 million and an unrealized gain of $14.1 million, respectively. These amounts are non-cash and hence, do not affect the Partnership’s cash flows or the calculation of distributable cash flow. (2) Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2008, September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 includes unrealized losses of $222.9 million, $39.4 million and $45.0 million, respectively, from interest rate swaps. Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 includes unrealized losses of $253.4 million and $25.5 million, respectively, from interest rate swaps. These amounts are non- cash and hence, do not affect the Partnership’s cash flows or the calculation of distributable cash flow. (3) Interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2008, September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 includes unrealized gains of $150.3 million, $17.5 million and $26.4 million, respectively, from interest rate swaps. Interest income for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 includes unrealized gains of $170.8 million and $22.3 million, respectively, from interest rate swaps. These amounts are non- cash and hence, do not affect the Partnership’s cash flows or the calculation of distributable cash flow. (4) The Partnership’s Euro-denominated revenues currently approximate its Euro-denominated expenses and debt service costs. As a result, the Partnership currently is not exposed materially to foreign currency fluctuations. However, 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. ————————————————————————— TEEKAY LNG PARTNERS L.P.

Due to the Partnership’s acquisition of a 40 percent interest in the four RasGas 3 LNG carriers on May 6, 2008, it is required to equity account for its investment in the RasGas 3 joint venture under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. (2) Non-controlling interest relates to the 30 percent portion of Teekay Nakilat (RasGasII Project) which the Partnership does not own. There is no non-controlling interest relating to the Tangguh project, as it had a net equity loss which the Partnership assumed 100 percent of the deficit as at December 31, 2008. The non-controlling interest would include 100 percent of a net equity gain in the Tangguh project until the Partnership acquires the interest in the Tangguh project. As at December 31, 2007, the Partnership had not yet acquired either the Tangguh or the RasGas 3 projects, and as such, the non-controlling interest for this period includes 100 percent of the equity interest in the Tangguh project and 100 percent equity in Teekay Nakilat Holdings Corporation (RasGas 3 Project), although the Partnership’s actual equity interest in the latter joint venture is only 40 percent. (3) Retroactively adjusted to include the Dropdown Predecessor for two vessels, the Polar Spirit and Arctic Spirit, which were acquired from Teekay on April 1, 2008, as if the vessels had been acquired by the Partnership on December 13, 2007 and December 14, 2007, respectively, the date the vessels were operating and under the common control of Teekay. ————————————————————————— TEEKAY LNG PARTNERS L.P.

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 (loss) income adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash items, non-controlling interest, estimated maintenance capital expenditures, gains and losses on vessel sales, unrealized gains and losses from derivatives, 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.

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: the unit price of equity offerings to finance acquisitions; the outcome of a ruling that the Partnership requested of the IRS with respect to an LPG carrier holding structure that the Partnership also intends to use to acquire and hold the carriers servicing the Tangguh LNG project; changes in production of LNG or LPG, either generally or in particular regions; required approvals by the conflicts committee of the board of directors of the Partnership’s general partner to acquire any LNG projects offered to the Partnership by Teekay Corporation; less than anticipated revenues or higher than anticipated costs or capital requirements; 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 to renew or replace long-term contracts; LNG and LPG project delays, shipyard production delays; the Partnership’s ability to raise financing to purchase additional vessels or to pursue LNG or LPG projects; the securing of lenders’ internal approvals for the provision of financing on the Partnership’s five LPG newbuildings; changes to the amount or proportion of revenues, expenses, or debt service costs denominated in foreign currencies; and other factors discussed in Teekay LNG Partners’ filings from time to time with the SEC, including its Report on Form 20-F/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The Partnership expressly disclaims any obligation 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.
