Welcome to Teekay Corporation's Second Quarter 2020 Earnings Results Conference Call. During the call, all participants will be in a listen-only mode. Afterwards, you will be invited to participate in a question-and-answer session. As a reminder, this call is being recorded. Now, for the opening remarks and introductions, I would like to turn the call over to the Company. Please go ahead.

Before we begin, I'd like to direct all participants to our website at www.teekay.com, where you'll find a copy of the second quarter of 2020 earnings presentation. Kenneth and Vince will review this presentation during today's conference call. Please allow me to remind you that our discussion today contains forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from results projected by those forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to materially differ from those in the forward-looking statements is contained in the second quarter 2020 earnings release and earnings presentation available on our website. I'll now turn the call over to Kenneth to begin.

Thank you, Ryan. Hello, everyone, and thank you very much for joining us today for Teekay Corporation's second quarter 2020 earnings conference call. I hope that you and your families are all safe and healthy. On the call today, I'm joined by Vince Lok, Teekay's group CFO. Before we get into our results, I'd again like to take a moment to thank all of our seafarers and shore-based staff for their continued and extraordinary dedication to maintain business continuity. The unprecedented impact of COVID-19 continues to be a major area of focus for us, but we have thus far successfully navigated the evolving logistical and regulatory challenges, with minimal impact on our operations. We're truly proud and thankful of how our seafarers and onshore colleagues have responded to COVID-19, implementing new standards to ensure the continued health and well-being of everyone involved in our organization, especially our colleagues at sea, while maintaining consistently safe and efficient operations for our customers. Moving to our recent highlights on Slide 3 of the presentation. In the second quarter of 2020, we reported our third consecutive quarterly adjusted profit, recording consolidated adjusted net income of $40 million or $0.39 per share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $13 million or $0.13 per share in the same period of the prior year. We also generated a total adjusted EBITDA of $316 million, an increase of $119 million, or 61%, from the same period of last year. Our strong results in the second quarter can be attributed to solid earnings in each of our main businesses. Teekay LNG reported another quarterly record high in adjusted net income and total adjusted EBITDA. Teekay Tankers experienced another quarter of strong spot tanker rates, and our directly owned FPSO operating results improved as a result of the new bareboat charter contract secured in late March on the Foinaven FPSO, which eliminated our exposure to the previous lossmaking contract. Looking ahead to next quarter, we expect Teekay LNG will continue earning stable cash flows, as a result of its LNG fleet being fully fixed through the rest of 2020. At Teekay Tankers, the spot tanker market has come under pressure since mid-May, following three quarters of strong spot tanker rates. The near-term outlook for the tanker market is uncertain at this point, and to some degree, linked to the global oil production and demand, which presently is about 10% lower than the average demand in 2019. In our tanker business, we continue to follow the prudent path that we laid out at our Investor Day last November, and we're pleased to have significantly reduced our effective free cash flow breakevens and near-term spot exposure by locking in 23% of the tanker fleet on fixed rate contracts at attractive rates, and we are encouraged by fleet supply fundamentals, which are favorable relative to prior market cycles. Finally, we have now commenced the wind down of the second of our three FPSOs, which are no longer core business. The Banff FPSO ceased production on its field in June 2020, and we have commenced the various decommissioning and subsea remediation procedures on the field, which I will touch on in more detail on the next slide. We continue to utilize these improved cash flows to further strengthen our financial foundation, which is one of our strategic priorities. Over the past year, we have reduced our consolidated net debt by $887 million, or 20%, which creates significant equity value throughout the group. We've also increased our total consolidated liquidity to approximately $940 million as of June 30, which provides financial strength and flexibility. Lastly, we have also secured bank commitments for a new equity margin revolver of up to $150 million to refinance Teekay Corporation's existing revolver that is currently undrawn and matures in December 2020 at substantially similar terms. We continue to further simplify our structure. With the refinancing of Teekay Tankers' four Suezmax tankers this month, we have eliminated all our remaining guarantees of dollar company debt, which stood at over $225 million just two years ago. And as announced in May, we eliminated the Incentive Distribution Rights or IDRs we held in Teekay LNG, in exchange for $10.75 million TGP common units. Lastly, and most importantly, the health and safety of our crew and shore staff is paramount for the Teekay group. We have implemented strict measures on all of our vessels to protect our seafarers, while the vast majority of our shore staff are working remotely from home. As a result of the pandemic, the overall maritime industry has experienced significant challenges related to crew changes, but I'm pleased to report that we have managed to at least do a partial refresh of our crews on effectively all of our vessels, and our teams are focused on minimizing the number of crews that are overdue. We'll continue to work hard with both the industry and inter-governmental organizations to tackle this challenge and bring our remaining overdue colleagues home safely as soon as possible. I'm truly proud of how our seafarers and onshore colleagues have responded to ensure safe and successful transitions, with no reported COVID-19 cases, while providing uninterrupted service to our customers. Turning to Slide 4, we continue with the wind down of our FPSO segment, as we discussed at our Investor Day in November. In late March, we secured a new up to 10-year bareboat contract on the Foinaven that effectively covers the remaining life and the eventual green cycling of the unit. We'll receive $6 million to $7 million of cash pursuant to this new contract in April. In addition, we'll receive a nominal per-day fee for the contract life that effectively covers any ancillary costs, and a lump sum payment at the end of the contract term that is expected to cover any cleanup and green recycling costs of the unit. Importantly, this new contract eliminates our operational exposure to the previous lossmaking contract. The Banff ceased production on its field in June and is expected to come off the existing field during the third quarter of 2020, with green recycling of the unit expected to be completed by the end of the year. The Banff has a unique contract structure, where Teekay is also responsible for part of the remediation of the subsea infrastructure. We've been accruing for these costs on our balance sheet, with a current net asset retirement obligation or ARO of $44 million, which is net of an $8 million receivable balance that is to be funded by the customer. Roughly half of this net ARO is expected to be incurred in 2020, with the remaining to be carried out in the summer of '21, as part of a two-phase subsea remediation process. In addition to the ARO costs, we are also expecting to continue to incur certain operating costs associated with the decommissioning of the FPSO and FSO units, most of which we expect will be incurred in the third quarter of 2020, coinciding with when we expect the unit to leave the Banff field. Lastly, the Hummingbird FPSO, which just completed a planned customer-funded shutdown for maintenance, continues to operate on its fixed rate contract, and is currently producing approximately 7,000 barrels per day. Over the next two slides, I'll briefly touch on the results and highlights of our daughter companies. I would encourage you to listen to the respective earnings conference calls for more details following this call. On Slide 5, we have summarized Teekay LNG's recent results and highlights. Teekay LNG Partners reported another record high adjusted net income and total adjusted EBITDA during the quarter, generating total adjusted EBITDA of $192 million and adjusted net income of $63 million or $0.67 per unit, up significantly compared to the same period of the prior year, as a result of a complete quarter contribution in Q2 from its fully delivered growth program. Q2 also marked the eighth consecutive quarterly increase in total adjusted EBITDA. TGP's LNG fleet is 100% fixed for the remainder of 2020 and 94% fixed in '21. TGP's average daily fixed charter rate in 2020 is expected to be above $80,500 per day, which compares very favorably compared to the weak current LNG spot market. To be clear, this $80,500 per day figure is the rate earned on a 100% utilization basis because of the time charter nature of the employment. In addition, TGP has also reaffirmed its 2020 adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income guidance. Lastly, TGP continues to further de-lever its balance sheet and make steady progress towards achieving its target leverage ranges of 4.5 times to 5.5 times on a net debt to total adjusted EBITDA basis. In May, TGP repaid its bond maturity with existing cash, and on a second-quarter analyzed basis, TGP ended off at 5.9 times on a net debt to total adjusted EBITDA basis, which includes the proportionate share of its underlying joint ventures, which is significantly improved from 7.2 times in 2019. With a strengthening financial foundation and deleveraging that is expected to provide financial flexibility, market-leading positions, and a very compelling valuation at a 4.5 times PE ratio, based on the midpoint of TGP's 2020 EPU guidance, we believe that TGP has significant long-term value potential, which benefits Teekay as the largest common unit holder. For every 10% increase in TGP's unit price, Teekay's equity interest would increase by $0.45 per Teekay share, or 16%, based on yesterday's closing price of $2.74 per share. Please see the appendix to this presentation for more details. Turning to slide 6, Teekay Tankers reported its third consecutive quarter of strong earnings and cash flows. In Q2, TNK generated total adjusted EBITDA of $124 million, up from $36 million in the same period of the prior year, and adjusted net income of $81 million, or $2.39 per share in the second quarter, a significant improvement from an adjusted net loss of $12 million or $0.36 per share in the same period of the prior year. TNK has transformed its balance sheet, bringing its net debt down to $549 million, a decrease of over $180 million or 25% in the second quarter alone, and increased its total liquidity to $468 million as of June 30. Over the past three quarters, TNK has reduced its net debt by $448 million or 45%. In addition, and as mentioned in my opening remarks, TNK has secured a new $67 million debt financing, secured by four Suezmax tankers to refinance a debt facility maturing in 2021, which eliminated the last remaining daughter company debt guaranteed by Teekay Corp. Teekay TNK now has no debt maturities until 2023. Since reporting in May, TNK has delivered nine vessels onto previously announced time charter contracts, bringing its total number of fixed vessels to 13, or a total of 23% of the fleet. These fixed contracts log in rates at attractive levels and reduce its spot fleet's free cash flow breakeven to $12,700 per day through mid-2021, which means the Company is expected to earn positive free cash flow in almost any tanker market. With a low free cash flow breakeven, as a result of reasonably well-timed fixed-rate charter contracts, a strong liquidity position, low balance sheet leverage, and no debt maturities until 2023, we believe that Teekay Tankers is financially well positioned for any near-term volatility in the tanker market. The near-term prospects in the crude tanker market are currently unclear, but we take comfort from the fact that the order book has remained well below levels seen in earlier recoveries, limiting vessel supply growth over the next two to three years. Lastly, for every 10% increase in TNK's unit price, Teekay's equity interest would increase by $0.15 per Teekay share or 5% based on yesterday's closing price of $2.74 per share. In summary, for every 10% increase in TGP and TNK's share prices, Teekay's equity interest would increase by $0.60 per Teekay share, or 22%, based on yesterday's closing price of $2.74 per share. Please see the appendix to this presentation for more details. I'll now turn the call over to Vince.

Thanks, Ken. Turning to Slide 7. Over the past year, we have significantly strengthened our financial foundation. This includes de-levering our balance sheet, increasing our cash flows, and improving our profitability. We have reduced our consolidated net debt to $3.5 billion at the end of June, a decrease of $887 million or 20%. We reduced our consolidated net debt to cap from 62% to 57%, and increased our total consolidated liquidity to approximately $940 million compared to $644 million a year ago. On the last 12 months or LTM basis, our total adjusted EBITDA was $1.18 billion, an increase of $298 million or 34% from the same period of the prior year. This included consolidated G&A savings of $10 million, or 11%. We have also significantly improved our profitability, as we recorded consolidated adjusted net income of $72 million or $0.71 per share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $40 million or $0.39 per share in the prior period. Our LTM Q2 '20 adjusted earnings per share of $0.71 translates to a PE ratio of only 3.9 times, based on Teekay's closing share price yesterday. Looking ahead, as usual, we have provided some guidance on next quarter's results in the appendix to this presentation. Compared to the strong results in the second quarter, we expect the third quarter's results to be lower, as a result of seasonally lower spot tanker rates, but also due to some temporary factors, such as the decommissioning costs on the Banff FPSO and a much heavier than normal level of scheduled dry dockings in Q3, the latter of which was strategically timed, with the expected seasonally weaker Q3 spot tanker rates. However, we would expect our earnings and cash flows to become more normalized in the fourth quarter, with significantly lower decommissioning costs on the Banff FPSO, a much lighter dry docking schedule, and the potential for some tanker rate spikes to occur in the winter months. With that, I will now turn the call back over to Kenneth for his closing comments.

Thanks, Vince. In closing, the full effects of the COVID pandemic on the global economy remain unknown. However, over the last year, Teekay Corp, Teekay LNG, and Teekay Tankers have each strengthened their financial positions and made significant progress insulating each of the businesses from possible market volatility and positioning the Teekay group to create long-term shareholder value. With that, operator, we are now available to take questions.

Thank you. Our first question will come from J Mintzmyer with Value Investor's Edge.

Hi. Good morning, gentlemen. Thanks for taking my calls, and congrats on strong daughter company performance.

Morning, J.

Thanks, J.

As Teekay Corp continues this transition, we have completed the buyout of GPIDR, which primarily functions as a holding company with subsidiary shares, and two FPSOs are being phased out. We noted some slides on this in the presentation. Following up on our inquiry from last quarter, could you provide details on the G&A that is not reimbursed? Specifically, what is the core parent G&A and how should we evaluate that on an annual basis? I understand this amount may vary from quarter to quarter, but what is the parent company overhead that we still need to manage?

Hi, J. This is Vince. The second quarter G&A of the parent was higher than normal because of some tips and one-time factors. We had some fees related to the IDR transaction that was completed in May, and we also had stock-based grants that were issued in June. So if you look at the first half G&A for the parent on a more normalized basis, excluding those items, we're looking at about probably around $5 million. We also had other income that offset that total about $5.5 million for the first half. So looking at the first half, our net G&A was actually pretty much zero. Now, the other income in the first half was probably higher than normal. So if I normalize that on a full-year basis, I would expect our net G&A for the full year would be about $6 million to $7 million on a net basis. That's sort of the run rate.

Okay. Thanks, Vince. That's pretty helpful. So $6 million to $7 million annualized. And is that reasonable to say that would be going forward for '21 and beyond? Or is that a little bit elevated because of the FPSOs?

No, the G&A related to the FPSOs is separate in the FPSO line items. So the $6 million to $7 million is good in terms of the corporate level.

Okay. Thanks, Vince. Turning to the FPSOs, you talked about the Banff. It has a $44 million asset retirement obligation that's been disclosed for a while. I realize you kind of already accounted for that in the income statement. The first part of that is how does that impact your cash balances? How much of that is already kind of reserved in separate accounts? And how much of that would pull directly from Teekay parent's cash balance? And then the second part of that is, of course, you noted there might be some additional OpEx and recycling fees associated. What do you anticipate that net cost to be for the recycling? I understand green recycling is a little more expensive in addition to that $44 million. So how much above that $44 million are we going to go?

We have a strong liquidity position at the parent, approximately $170 million as of June 30. Following the refinancing of the existing revolver, this should increase to nearly $200 million. As for the net asset retirement obligation at June 30, it was around $44 million. We anticipate incurring about half of that this year, with the remainder expected in the summer of 2021. Regarding other operating expenses, we estimate they will be around $20 million in the third quarter, primarily related to the decommissioning of the FPSO and FSO units. For the fourth quarter, we are still gathering estimates for recycling costs, but it will likely be a few million dollars.

Okay. Well, we'll have to check in next quarter and see where that goes. Along those lines, you have a very sufficient liquidity balance, as you mentioned. You have to revolver rolled. You have a very high cost of debt remaining on the Company outside of that revolver, right? You have the 9.25% secured bonds, and you also have a convertible bond that's only 5%. But it trades on the open market at about a 13% yield to maturity. I mean, this is at a time where the majority of even your shipping peers, even the higher-risk peers, are borrowing from banks at 4% to 5% or 6%. So definitely some outliers here. Are there any sort of avenues you can take in 2020 to maybe refinance some of this debt or start to chip away at it? Or is that something we need to wait until next year to address?

As you know, in the past few years, we have been chipping away at that and reduced our expensive debt considerably over the past few years. That continues to be our goal. We recognize that we need to reduce our cost of capital over the long term. And so, that is our goal. We have the maturity on these securities starting to mature in late 2022 and early 2023. So we have some time to address that. And in the meantime, we are continuing to increase our free cash flows to build asset coverage with the daughter equities. And as part of that, we want to improve the cost of capital and credit profile of the parent, along with the daughter companies.

All right. Thanks for taking my questions, and we'll check in next quarter with you.

Thanks.

Thank you. Our next question will come from Sandy Burns with Stifel.

Hi. Good morning, everyone. Maybe just to follow up on the previous question about the debt obligations with the parents. Could you just talk big picture? Is your goal for the parent to be a debt-free-type entity, or by monetizing some of the asset value you have in the company? Or do you see yourself still having some debt obligations up there, which would more come about through a refinancing of the bonds and convert at some point down the road?

Our aim is to reduce our debt; however, we do not have a specific target to reduce it to zero. Currently, we are focused on leveraging our growing asset coverage to decrease both total debt and importantly, the cost of that debt. We are working toward achieving greater investment flexibility, which has been a priority for us over the past three years at Teekay. This doesn't imply that we will have no debt, but rather that we will have the capacity to allocate capital for long-term value creation, which may occasionally involve carrying some debt.

Okay, and just one last question for me. It's good news that you were able to extend the revolver for two years. When the time comes for the potential refinancing of debt at the parent, are you allowed to borrow under the revolver and use those proceeds for refinancing the current debt obligations? Or is that only for general corporate purposes like decommissioning costs and other expenses that arise?

We're allowed to use those funds. We can draw on the revolver for refinancing purposes as well. As you know, right now, that entire revolver is undrawn, and we're sitting on about $70 million of cash. So we don't really need to draw on the revolver in the near term, but it is available for other reasons.

Okay, great. Thank you, and good luck with everything.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. That concludes today's question-and-answer session. At this time, I will turn the conference back over to the Company for any additional or closing remarks.

Well, thanks for joining us today, and again, please join us for our calls in Teekay Tankers and Teekay LNG. We look forward to reporting back to you next quarter. Thank you.

This concludes today's call. Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect.
