EARNINGS RELEASE
TEEKAY REPORTS RECORD
QUARTERLY EPS OF $4.37, up 231%;
ANNOUNCES 2-for-1 STOCK SPLIT
Nassau, The Bahamas, April 21, 2004 - Teekay Shipping Corporation today reported net income of $189.0 million, or $4.37 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, compared to net income of $53.6 million, or $1.32 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The results for the first quarter of 2003 included $31.7 million, or $0.78 per share, in write-downs to the carrying value of certain older vessels and marketable securities. Net voyage revenues for the first quarter of 2004 were $447.6 million compared to $212.9 million for the same period in 2003, and income from vessel operations increased to $208.8 million from $103.5 million. The higher results for the current quarter are primarily attributable to the increase in spot tanker charter rates, as well as the inclusion of the Navion AS (Navion) fleet since its acquisition in April 2003.
In addition, Teekays Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one stock split relating to the Companys common stock, which will be effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend. All stockholders of record on May 3, 2004 will receive one additional share of common stock for each share held. The additional shares will be distributed on or about the effective date of May 17, 2004.
The strength of Teekays business model was clearly demonstrated this quarter with both our spot and fixed-rate segments producing record financial results, commented Bjorn Moller, Teekays President and Chief Executive Officer. Our decision to increase the size of our spot fleet over the past year allowed our spot tanker segment to generate over $190 million in cash flow from vessel operations as a result of the very high freight rates during the quarter. Our long-term fixed-rate segment continued its rapid growth, generating over $70 million in cash flow from vessel operations. Mr. Moller continued, The decision of our Board of Directors to effect a stock split reflects Teekays future growth prospects and the desire to increase the liquidity of our shares.
On March 16, 2004, Teekay announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Naviera F. Tapias S.A. (Tapias), the leading independent owner and operator of liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers and Suezmax tankers in Spain, for a total enterprise value of approximately $810 million. The purchase price will include a combination of cash payments and the assumption of existing debt. In addition, Teekay will assume approximately $540 million in newbuilding commitments, most of which is expected to be fully debt financed prior to the vessel deliveries. Teekay also entered into an agreement with the shareholders of Tapias to establish a 50/50 joint venture that will pursue new business in the oil and gas shipping sectors, focusing specifically on the Spanish market. The transaction will establish Teekays presence in the high growth LNG shipping sector and position the Company as a key supplier of LNG shipping to Spain, the worlds third largest importer of LNG.
Tapias fleet includes four LNG carriers (including two newbuildings), all on long-term fixed-rate contracts with Spanish energy companies with an average remaining term of approximately 21 years. The acquisition will further extend Teekays leading position in the crude oil tanker sector with the addition of Tapias nine Suezmax tankers (including three newbuildings), five of which are contracted under long-term fixed-rate charters with a major Spanish oil company with an average remaining term of approximately 18 years. Management expects that the acquisition will be immediately accretive to earnings and will add long-term fixed-rate cash flow from vessel operations of approximately $85 million in 2004 (on an annualized basis) and approximately $115 million per annum thereafter. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close by April 30, 2004.
The following table highlights certain financial information of the Companys two main segments, the spot tanker segment and the fixed-rate segment (see the Teekay Fleet section of this release for a breakdown of the fleet composition):

* Cash flow from vessel operations represents income from vessel operations before depreciation and amortization expense. See reconciliation in Appendix B to this release.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2004, cash flow from vessel operations from the Companys fixed-rate segment increased to $70.3 million from $25.3 million for the first quarter of 2003, primarily due to the inclusion of Navions shuttle tanker operations and the addition of five conventional tankers on long-term fixed-rate charters to ConocoPhillips. Cash flow from vessel operations from the fixed-rate segment was higher than the $61.0 million generated during the quarter ended December 31, 2003, primarily as a result of:
The Company expects its existing fixed-rate segment to generate annualized cash flow from vessel operations of approximately $285 million by the fourth quarter of 2004. With the acquisition of Tapias, the fixed-rate segments annualized cash flow from vessel operations is expected to further increase to approximately $400 million by the end of 2004.
Cash flow from vessel operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from the Companys spot tanker segment increased to $192.1 million from $117.4 million in the first quarter of 2003, primarily due to the increase in spot tanker charter rates and the inclusion of Navions conventional tanker fleet.
The following table highlights the performance of the Companys spot tanker segment measured in net voyage revenues per calendar-ship-day, or time-charter equivalent (TCE).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 December 31, 2003 March 31, 2003 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (unaudited) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spot Tanker Segment Very Large Crude Carrier Fleet Calendar Days 273 276 90 TCE per calendar-ship-day $71,062 $46,442 $78,178 Suezmax Tanker Fleet Calendar Days 561 585 - TCE per calendar-ship-day $65,018 $34,079 - Aframax Tanker Fleet Calendar Days 5,122 5,255 5,160 TCE per calendar-ship-day $40,235 $25,419 $28,761 Oil/Bulk/Ore ("OBO") Fleet Calendar Days 157 460 720 TCE per calendar-ship-day $20,822 $16,457 $17,775 Large Product Tanker Fleet Calendar Days 395 199 - TCE per calendar-ship-day $27,478 $28,879 - Small Product Tanker Fleet Calendar Days 847 746 - TCE per calendar-ship-day $13,510 $10,929 - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tanker freight rates continued to strengthen during the first quarter of 2004 as a result of strong global oil demand and increased oil supplies from long-haul sources combined with constrained tanker supply growth. During April 2004, tanker rates have declined from the near record levels experienced during the first quarter of 2004, mainly due to seasonal factors, but remain at relatively high levels when compared to historical averages.
Global oil demand, an underlying driver of tanker demand, continued to be strong, averaging 80.3 million barrels per day (mb/d) during the first quarter of 2004, down from 80.8 mb/d in the fourth quarter of 2003, but up 1.1 mb/d compared to the first quarter of 2003. On April 9, 2004, the International Energy Agency raised its forecast for 2004 oil demand to 80.3 mb/d, which would represent an increase of 2.1% over 2003 demand.
Global oil supply grew to 82.1 mb/d in the first quarter of 2004, an increase of 0.5 mb/d from the fourth quarter of 2003. Rising Iraqi exports helped increase OPEC production by 0.3 mb/d while non-OPEC production rose by 0.2 mb/d, led by the former Soviet Union. During the first quarter of 2004, OPEC (excluding Iraq) production averaged approximately 25.9 mb/d, 1.4 mb/d above its quota of 24.5 mb/d announced in November 2003. At its March 31, 2004 meeting, OPEC reiterated its earlier decision to further reduce production quotas by 1.0 mb/d to 23.5 mb/d, effective April 1, 2004, in anticipation of the normal seasonal reduction in oil demand. Market sources indicate that OPEC continues to produce significantly above these stated quotas.
The size of the world tanker fleet increased to 320.9 million deadweight tonnes (mdwt) as of March 31, 2004, up 1.2% from the end of the previous quarter. Despite the strong tanker rates, deletions in the first quarter of 2004 of 4.0 mdwt exceeded the 3.4 mdwt of tankers scrapped in the previous quarter. Deliveries of tanker newbuildings during the first quarter totaled 7.8 mdwt, up from 5.7 mdwt in the previous quarter.
As at March 31, 2004, the world tanker orderbook stood at 82.3 mdwt, representing 25.6% of the total world tanker fleet compared to 77.7 mdwt, or 24.5%, at the end of the previous quarter.
As at March 31, 2004, Teekays fleet (excluding vessels managed for third parties and the Tapias fleet) consisted of 152 vessels, including 51 chartered-in vessels and 15 newbuilding tankers on order. During the quarter, the Company took delivery of three newbuildings: the AUSTRALIAN SPIRIT (Aframax tanker) and the ASIAN SPIRIT (Suezmax tanker), which immediately commenced service under fixed-rate contracts to ConocoPhillips; and the NORDIC BRASILIA (Suezmax tanker), which currently is trading in the spot market but is expected to commence its long-term charter to Transpetro by the third quarter of 2004 after conversion to a shuttle tanker. The Company did not sell any vessels during the quarter.
The following is a summary of the Teekay fleet as at March 31, 2004:

(2) | Includes six shuttle tankers of which the Companys ownership interests range from 50% to 65.5%. |
(3) | Includes one FSO unit of which the Companys ownership interest is 89% |
As at March 31, 2004, the Company had total liquidity of $786 million, comprising $304 million in cash and cash equivalents and $482 million in undrawn medium-term revolving credit facilities.
Excluding the Tapias acquisition, as at March 31, 2004, the Company had approximately $543 million in remaining capital commitments relating to its 15 newbuildings on order. Of this, approximately $218 million was due during the remainder of 2004, $95 million in 2005, $83 million in 2006 and $147 million due in 2007 and early 2008. Long-term financing arrangements totaling approximately $255 million exist for 8 of the 15 newbuildings on order.
