Please see the Company's Web site at www.teekay.com for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure as used in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Offshore Segment

The offshore segment is comprised of OPCO's fleet of shuttle tankers and FSOs, Teekay Petrojarl's fleet of FPSOs and one shuttle tanker, and one FSO (Free Space Optics) Transmitting optical signals through the air using infrared lasers. Also known as "wireless optics," FSO provides point-to-point and point-to-multipoint transmission at very high speeds without requiring a government license for use of the spectrum.  owned directly by Teekay.

The results for the fourth quarter of 2006 include the results of Petrojarl's four FPSOs and one shuttle tanker, commencing October 1, 2006.

Cash flow from vessel operations from the Company's offshore segment increased to $60.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to $48.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, primarily due to the consolidation of the results of Teekay Petrojarl, partially offset by an increase in vessel operating expenses Operating expenses

 the Company's shuttle tanker fleet.

In January 2007, Teekay ordered two Aframax shuttle tanker newbuildings New Buildings (officially written as Newbuildings) is a large village in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. It lies about 1 km (0.6 mi) from the shores of the River Foyle and 5 km (3 mi) south of the city of Derry/Londonderry.  which are scheduled to deliver during the third quarter of 2010, for a total delivered cost of approximately $240 million. It is anticipated that these vessels will be offered to OPCO and will be used to service either new long-term, fixed-rate contracts Teekay may be awarded prior to delivery or OPCO's contracts-of-affreightment in the North Sea.

In December 2006, the Company entered into an agreement to sell a 1987-built shuttle tanker. The Company expects to record a gain of approximately $10 million relating to the sale upon delivery to the new owners in the second quarter of 2007.

As previously announced, the Company was awarded 13-year fixed-rate charter contracts for two Suezmax shuttle tankers and one Aframax shuttle tanker by a subsidiary of Petrobras. The first vessel commenced its 13-year charter to Petrobras in July 2006 and is part of OPCO's fleet. The two remaining vessels, which have been purchased from third parties, are currently being converted to shuttle tankers and are scheduled to commence service under fixed-rate charters to Petrobras in the first and second quarters of 2007, respectively.

 to offer these two vessels to Teekay Offshore within a year of each vessel's delivery. In addition, Teekay is obligated to offer Teekay Offshore an FSO currently being upgraded prior to the end of the second quarter of 2008.

Fixed-Rate Tanker Segment

The fixed-rate tanker segment includes Teekay LNG LNG (liquefied natural gas): see under natural gas.  Partners L.P.'s (Teekay LNG) Suezmax fleet and Teekay's directly operated fixed-rate conventional tankers. OPCO's Aframax tanker fleet is included in the spot tanker segment since they are chartered to Teekay and are operating as part of Teekay's spot fleet.

Cash flow from vessel operations from the Company's fixed-rate tanker segment remained virtually unchanged at $26.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to $26.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Liquefied Gas Segment

The liquefied gas segment includes Teekay LNG's fleet of liquefied natural gas liquefied natural gas: see under natural gas.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG)

A product of natural gas which consists primarily of methane. Its properties are those of liquid methane, slightly modified by minor constituents.
 (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas liquefied petroleum gas or LPG, mixture of gases, chiefly propane and butane, produced commercially from petroleum and stored under pressure to keep it in a liquid state.  (LPG LPG: see liquefied petroleum gas.

) carriers.

The Company's cash flow from vessel operations from its existing five LNG carriers LNG carrier is a ship designed for transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG). As the LNG market is growing rapidly also the fleet of LNG carriers is in a tremendous growth at the moment.  during the fourth quarter of 2006 was $19.9 million compared to $17.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. This increase is primarily due to the delivery of the first RasGas II carrier which commenced its fixed-rate charter in mid-November 2006.

The Company has ownership interests ranging from 40% to 70% in eight additional LNG newbuildings scheduled to deliver at various dates between the first quarter of 2007 and early 2009, all of which will commence service upon delivery under 20 or 25-year fixed-rate contracts with major energy companies.

Teekay has agreed to sell the following vessels to its 67.8% owned subsidiary, Teekay LNG Partners L.P.:

* RasGas II - a 70% interest in three LNG newbuilding carriers. The first of these vessels was delivered on October 31, 2006, the second vessel was delivered on January 2, 2007, and the remaining vessel is scheduled to deliver in late February 2007. Teekay's 70% interest in all three vessels was sold to Teekay LNG on October 31, 2006.

* RasGas 3 - a 40% interest in four LNG newbuilding carriers scheduled to deliver during the second quarter of 2008.

* Tangguh - a 70% interest in two LNG newbuilding carriers scheduled to deliver during late 2008 and early 2009.

* Dania Spirit - a 2000-built LPG carrier currently on a fixed-rate time charter to Statoil ASA with a remaining contract term of nine years. This vessel was sold to the Teekay LNG on January 1, 2007.

Teekay LNG also agreed to acquire three LPG carriers currently under construction from IM Skaugen ASA (Skaugen) upon their delivery from the shipyard between early-2008 and mid-2009. Upon delivery, these vessels will commence 15-year fixed-rate time-charters to Skaugen.

Spot Tanker Segment

The Company's spot tanker segment includes vessels operating on voyage and period out-charters with an initial term of less than three years, including OPCO's Aframax fleet which is chartered to Teekay.

Cash flow from vessel operations from the Company's spot tanker segment decreased to $54.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2006 from $111.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2005, primarily due to a decrease in spot tanker charter rates and a reduction in the size of the Company's spot tanker fleet.

On a net basis, fleet changes reduced the total number of revenue days in the Company's spot tanker segment to 5,231 days for the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to 5,682 days for the fourth quarter of 2005. Revenue days represent the total number of vessel calendar days less off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or mandated surveys.

During the fourth quarter of 2006, crude tanker freight rates for mid-sized tankers remained strong in-line with the high levels of the previous quarter driven by seasonal factors, growing production from non-OPEC sources and long-haul trade patterns.

Early in the first quarter of 2007, the onset of colder weather coupled with seasonal delays in regions such as the Bosphorus Straights and US Gulf ports, provided support for mid-sized crude oil and product tanker rates. In its latest report the International Energy Agency (IEA IEA International Energy Agency
IEA International Environmental Agreements
IEA International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement
IEA Institute of Economic Affairs
IEA Inferred from Electronic Annotation

) revised its 2007 oil demand growth estimate to 1.8% compared to 1.0% in 2006. The current levels of OPEC OPEC: see Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.

Excluding these amounts, TCEs on a revenue-day basis for the year ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 would have been $46,911 and $45,014 per day, respectively.

Teekay Fleet

As at December 31, 2006, Teekay's fleet (excluding vessels managed for third parties) consisted of 160 vessels, including chartered-in vessels, newbuildings on order, and vessels being converted to offshore units or shuttle tankers.

The following table summarizes the Teekay fleet as at December 31, 2006, including the two newly announced shuttle tanker newbuildings:
