Comments from Management:

Bing Chen, President and CEO of Atlas, commented, "We continued our strong quarterly performance amongst a backdrop of global market turmoil, demonstrating the resilience of our business model. Seaspan's customers continue to value our long-term partnerships with the forward fixing of three operating vessels in the second quarter, and an additional 14 since the end of the quarter. We are working diligently to deliver our newbuild program on time and on budget, and thanks to our experienced team and integrated platform, all seven of our newbuilds were delivered ahead of schedule. We have now completed 117 newbuilds since our IPO in 2005, a proud track record that our customers deeply value. "

"APR Energy continued to pivot the company to long-term, predictable cash flow opportunities. Our team has secured one new deployment in the second quarter, a dry rental with a Mexico-based counterparty representing 120 MW. The new contracts signed in the first quarter, including the 226 MW 44-month Brazilian contract, have commenced and evidence APR's focus, and  execution on longer-term and quality cash flow opportunities."

"Both Seaspan and APR are committed to creative customer solutions, trusted long-term partnerships, and differentiated business model to well position the companies for long-term quality growth that consistently delivers value throughout all market cycles."

Graham Talbot, CFO of Atlas, commented, "The Atlas team has continued to execute with high diligence and quality throughout the second quarter as demonstrated by the continued through-cycle performance of our resilient business model. Our fully integrated and scalable platform continued to provide leading customer solutions as exhibited through additional newbuild orders and forward fixtures.  Our long-term model and diligent focus on asset quality is evidenced through ten strategic vessel divestments this year, generating an additional $257.1 million in cashflow to optimize our balance sheet and allocate capital to future growth and further optimize our fleet. We also continued our pursuit of an investment grade credit rating with the closing of our $500.0 million of long-dated financing, creating greater financial flexibility, securing a lower cost of capital and improving our liquidity."

"Our continued strong performance, underpinned by a gross contracted cash flow balance of $17.8 billion as at June 30, 2022 and liquidity balance of $1,100.7 million, reinforces Atlas' industry-leading position and resilience in the face of global economic uncertainty."

Containership Leasing and Newbuild Developments

Seaspan entered into proactive lease extensions for three operating vessels in the second quarter of 2022, generating approximately $230.0 million in gross contracted cash flow. In July and August 2022, Seaspan entered into proactive lease extensions for an additional 14 operating vessels, generating over $1.1 billion in gross contracted cash flow.

In April and May 2022, Seaspan accepted delivery of its fourth and fifth 12,200 TEU vessels, each of which commenced an 18-year charter upon delivery. These deliveries mark the completion of Seaspan's five 12,200 TEU newbuild order received from its customer in late 2020. In June 2022, Seaspan also accepted delivery of its first two 11,800 TEU vessels, each of which commenced a 5-year charter upon delivery.

In May 2022, Seaspan entered into shipbuilding contracts for four 7,700 TEU liquified natural gas dual-fuel containerships which remain subject to certain closing conditions. If and when the closing conditions are met, the four containerships are expected to be delivered in the second half of 2024 and first quarter of 2025. These vessels will commence 18-year charters with a leading global liner customer upon delivery, generating gross contracted cash flow of approximately $0.96 billion.

Mobile Power Generation Developments

In May 2022, APR Energy entered into a contract with a Mexico-based counterparty to provide a dry rental of four turbines representing 120 MW for a minimum of four consecutive months, which commenced in June 2022.

In June 2022, all of APR's turbines based at its Zappalorto plant in Argentina were demobilized from the country and redeployed on the aforementioned contract with the Mexico-based counterparty. APR's Matheu plant in Argentina is on track to be fully demobilized by the end of the third quarter of 2022.

Financing Development

In May 2022, Seaspan entered into a note purchase agreement in respect of a sustainability-linked U.S. private placement of $500.0 million of notes, to be secured by its vessel portfolio financing program. The notes were issued on August 3, 2022, and carry a weighted average maturity of approximately 12 years, and a weighted average fixed interest rate of approximately 5.3%. Seaspan plans to use proceeds from the private placement to pay down existing debt in the portfolio financing program, fund capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes.

In June 2022, APR amended and extended its secured financing program (the "Financing Program"). The amendment lowered interest costs, extended the maturity date to 2025, and improved financial flexibility. As of June 30, 2022, the Financing Program consists of a $108.0 million term loan and a $50.0 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility is committed but undrawn.

Shareholder Development

In April 2022, Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited ("Fairfax") exercised warrants to purchase 25.0 million common shares of Atlas. The warrants, which were originally issued on July 16, 2018, had an exercise price of $8.05 per common share for an aggregate exercise price of $201.3 million. Immediately following this exercise, Fairfax and its affiliates held in aggregate 124,805,753 common shares, representing approximately 45.1% of the then issued and outstanding common shares of Atlas. Fairfax continues to hold 6.0 million warrants.

Take Private Proposal

On August 4, 2022, Atlas' Board of Directors received a non-binding proposal letter, dated August 4, 2022, from Poseidon Acquisition Corp., an entity formed by certain affiliates of Fairfax, certain affiliates of the Washington Family ("Washington"), David Sokol, Chairman of the Board of Atlas, and Ocean Network Express Pte. Ltd., and certain of their respective affiliates, to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Atlas, other than common shares owned by Fairfax, Washington, Mr. Sokol and certain executive officers of the Company, for $14.45 cash per common share. The proposal constitutes only an indication of interest by Poseidon Acquisition Corp. and does not constitute a binding commitment with respect to the proposed transaction or any other transaction. The timing, certainty and other material terms of the proposed transaction are unknown at this time.

The Board of Directors established a special committee consisting of independent directors of the Board of Directors to consider the proposal.

Distribution

On April 7, 2022, the Board of Directors of Atlas declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.125 per common share. Regular quarterly dividends on the Series D, Series H, Series I and Series J preferred shares were also declared. All dividends were paid on May 2, 2022.

Financial Results Summary:

Revenue growth of 4.9% to $413.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the increase in revenue for the Containership Leasing segment was primarily attributable to the delivery of 11 vessels since the second quarter of 2021.  The revenue for the Mobile Power Generation segment decreased for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 due to lower asset utilization.

Adjusted EBITDA growth of 2.6% to $279.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The growth was primarily driven by the increase in revenue.

FFO Per Share decrease of 4.1% to $0.70 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was partially driven by an increase in diluted share count from the issuance of 25 million shares from the exercise of warrants and the impact of the maximum dilutive effect of the exchangeable notes based on the if-converted method.

Diluted EPS was $0.43 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $0.18 for the same period in 2021.  The increase in diluted EPS was primarily driven by a non-cash gain in the current year on derivative instruments related to the increase in the forward LIBOR curve and a lower loss on debt extinguishment in 2022.  In the prior year, the loss on debt extinguishment, primarily related to the repayment of Fairfax notes.

Adjusted Diluted EPS decrease of 10.3% to $0.35 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022,  compared to $0.39 for the same period in 2021. The decrease in adjusted diluted EPS was primarily related to the increase diluted share count.

Liquidity
 As of June 30, 2022, Atlas had total liquidity of $1,100.7 million, consisting of $400.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and $700.0 million of availability under undrawn committed credit facilities. As of June 30, 2022, we also had $5.7 billion of undrawn committed financing related to our newbuild vessels and an unencumbered asset base including 30 vessels with a book value of $1.2 billion.

(1)

The change in contingent consideration asset relates to the mark to market impact of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of APR Energy. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the sellers of APR agreed to compensate the Company for losses on cash repatriation from a foreign jurisdiction related to cash generated from specified contracts less relevant costs. The sellers' indemnification obligations  ended on April 30, 2022. The sellers of APR further agreed to compensate the Company for losses on sale or disposal of certain fixed asset and inventory items. The value of compensation receivable from the sellers is accounted for as a contingent consideration asset.

(2)

Loss on foreign currency repatriation relates to losses recognized on cash repatriation from a foreign jurisdiction, where compensation is receivable through the peso contingent asset arrangement. Compensation is made by the sellers in cash or return of previously issued equity, which is offset against the contingent consideration asset when received and therefore is not reflected in the income statement.

(3)

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06, "Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)", using the modified retrospective method.  As a result of this adoption, the Company recognizes the maximum potential dilutive effect of its exchangeable notes in the calculation of diluted EPS using the if-converted method.

The change in contingent consideration asset relates to the mark to market impact of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of APR. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the sellers of APR agreed to compensate the Company for losses on cash repatriation from a foreign jurisdiction related to cash generated from specified contracts less relevant costs. The sellers' indemnification obligations ended on April 30, 2022. The sellers of APR further agreed to compensate the Company for losses on sale or disposal of certain fixed asset and inventory items. The value of compensation receivable from the sellers is accounted for as a contingent consideration asset.

(3)

Loss on foreign currency repatriation relates to losses recognized on cash repatriation from a foreign jurisdiction, where compensation is receivable through the Peso Contingent Asset Arrangement. Compensation is made by the sellers in cash or return of previously issued equity, which is offset against the contingent consideration asset when received and therefore, is not reflected in the income statement.

Elimination and Other includes amounts relating to preferred shares, change in contingent consideration asset, elimination of intercompany transactions and unallocated amounts.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes various financial measures that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These non-GAAP financial measures, which include FFO, FFO Per Share, Diluted ("FFO Per Share"), Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Diluted ("Adjusted EPS"), Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt, Operating Net Debt and Total Borrowings, are intended to provide additional information and are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered substitutes for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of the non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool.

FFO and FFO Per Share represent net earnings adjusted for depreciation and amortization, gains/losses on sale, unrealized change in fair value of derivative instruments, loss on foreign currency repatriation, change in contingent consideration asset, preferred share dividends accumulated, impairment, loss on debt extinguishment and certain other items that management believes are not representative of its operating performance. FFO and FFO Per Share are useful performance measures because they exclude those items that management believes are not representative of its performance.

FFO and FFO Per Share are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings, earnings per share or any other indicator of the Company's performance required to be reported by GAAP. In addition, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS represent net earnings adjusted for preferred share dividends accumulated, impairment, loss on debt extinguishment, unrealized change in fair value on derivative instruments and certain other items that management believes are not representative of its ongoing performance.

Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings, net earnings per share or any other indicator of the Company's performance required to be reported by GAAP. In addition, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and the closest measure is net earnings. Management believes that these metrics are helpful in providing investors with information to assess the ongoing operations of the business.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings before interest expense and income, tax expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment, write-down and gains/losses on sale, gains/losses on derivative instruments, loss on foreign currency repatriation, change in contingent consideration asset, loss on debt extinguishment, other expenses and certain other items that management believes are not representative of its operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors in assessing the Company's results from operations. Management believes that this measure is useful in assessing performance and highlighting trends on an overall basis. Management also believes that this performance measure can be useful in comparing its results with those of other companies, even though other companies may not calculate this measure in the same way. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net earnings. Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings, or any other indicator of the Company's performance required to be reported by GAAP.

Total Borrowings represents long-term debt and other financing arrangements, excluding deferred financing fees.  Operating borrowings represents Total Borrowings less amounts related to vessels under construction.

Net Debt represents Total Borrowings before debt discount and fair value adjustments, net of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Operating Net Debt represents Net Debt less amounts related to vessels under construction. 

Net Debt and Total Borrowings provide useful information to investors in assessing the Company's leverage. Management believes these measures are useful in assessing the Company's ability to settle contracted debt payments. Management also believes that these leverage measurements can be useful in comparing the Company's position with those of other companies, even though other companies may not calculate these measures in the same way. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Net Debt and Total Borrowings is the total of long-term debt and other financing arrangements. Net Debt and Total Borrowings are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to long-term debt and other financing arrangements, or any other indicator of the Company's financial position required to be reported by GAAP.
