NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

1.Basis of Presentation

On October 4, 2021, the Company (as Teekay LNG Partners L.P.), entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Teekay GP L.L.C. (or the General Partner), an investment vehicle (or Acquiror) managed by Stonepeak Partners L.P. (or Stonepeak), and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquiror (or Merger Sub). On January 13, 2022, Stonepeak completed its acquisition of the Company, with Merger Sub merging with and into the Company, and with the Company surviving the merger as a subsidiary of Stonepeak (or the Merger). Pursuant to the Merger and related transactions (collectively referred to as the "Stonepeak Transaction"), (a) each issued and outstanding common unit of the Company, including approximately 36.0 million common units owned by Teekay Corporation (or Teekay) (but excluding any common units owned by the Company, Acquiror or the Company’s or Acquiror’s respective wholly-owned subsidiaries), was converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $17.00 per common unit, (b) Teekay sold to Acquiror all of the outstanding ownership interests in the General Partner for $26.4 million, which price consisted of $17.00 for each of the approximately 1.6 million common unit equivalents represented by the economic interest of the General Partner's general partner interest in the Company and (c) the Company acquired certain restructured subsidiaries of Teekay (or the Teekay Subsidiaries) that provide, through services agreements, comprehensive managerial, operational and administrative services to the Company and its subsidiaries and joint ventures and as a result of this acquisition, Teekay paid the Company $4.9 million. The Company incurred fees of $18.0 million relating to professional services provided in connection to the Stonepeak Transaction which are included in other income (expense) in the Company's consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. On January 24, 2022, the Company's common units were delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. The Company's 9.00% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (or the Series A Preferred Units) and 8.50% Series B Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (or the Series B Preferred Units) remain outstanding and continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange following the Merger.

As a result of the concurrent acquisition of both the Company and the Teekay Subsidiaries by Stonepeak, where the Teekay Subsidiaries became subsidiaries of the Company on completion of the Stonepeak Transaction, the acquisition of the Teekay Subsidiaries was accounted for by the Company as the acquisition of a business between entities under common control of Stonepeak. As such, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company on January 13, 2022 in connection with the acquisition of the Teekay Subsidiaries are recognized at their fair values. Due to negative working capital of the Teekay Subsidiaries on closing, Teekay paid the Company $4.9 million for the purchase of the Teekay Subsidiaries. The excess of the net recognized liabilities of the Teekay Subsidiaries over the amount paid by Teekay to the Company has been reflected as a decrease to equity of $2.8 million.

Additionally, at the effective time of the Merger on January 13, 2022, each restricted unit award granted pursuant to the Teekay LNG Partners L.P. 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan that was outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, whether or not vested, was automatically vested, cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $17.00 multiplied by the number of common units subject to such restricted unit award held by the holder thereof, less applicable taxes. The amount of compensation cost for these restricted unit awards as measured at the grant date but not yet recognized as of the cancellation date was $2.7 million and has been expensed on such cancellation date. The total cash cost, including taxes, was $6.0 million and was accounted for as a direct reduction to equity. Such $6.0 million amount was paid for with funds advanced by Stonepeak and this funding has been accounted for by the Company as a $6.0 million increase to equity.

On February 25, 2022, Teekay LNG Partners L.P. converted from a limited partnership formed under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (or the Partnership) into a limited liability company formed under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (or the Conversion). The Conversion is deemed a continuation of the existence of the Partnership in the form of the Company, as a Marshall Islands limited liability company, with the existence of the Company deemed to have commenced on the date the Partnership commenced its existence. Upon the Conversion, all of the rights, privileges and powers of the Partnership, and all property of and all property and debts due to the Partnership, became vested in the Company and the property of the Company. In addition, all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of the Partnership were preserved unimpaired and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Partnership automatically attached to the Company. Concurrently with the Conversion, the Company changed its name to Seapeak LLC and changed the ticker symbols for its Series A Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units from “TGP PRA” and “TGP PRB” to “SEAL PRA” and “SEAL PRB,” respectively.

Pursuant to the Conversion:

•each outstanding common unit of the Partnership was converted into one issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable common unit of the Company;

•each outstanding Series A Preferred Unit and Series B Preferred Unit of the Partnership was converted into one issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable Series A Preferred Unit or Series B Preferred Unit of the Company, as applicable; and

•the general partner interest in the Partnership was converted into 1,555,061 common units of the Company (which number is equal to the notional common units of the Partnership represented by such general partner interest immediately prior to the Conversion) and the Company, as a limited liability company, no longer had a general partner.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements (or unaudited consolidated financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (or GAAP). These unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, which is a limited liability company formed under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, its wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries and any variable interest entities (or VIEs) of which it is the primary beneficiary.

Certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements have been omitted and, therefore, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (or SEC) on March 31, 2023. In the opinion of the management of the Company, these unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting solely of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, changes in total equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is possible that the amounts recorded as derivative liabilities and derivative assets could vary by material amounts prior to their settlement.

The change in the credit loss provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily reflects an increase in the estimated charter-free valuations for certain types of its liquefied natural gas (or LNG) carriers at the end of their time-charter contract which are accounted for as direct financing and sales-type leases in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. These estimated future charter-free values are subject to change based on the underlying LNG shipping market fundamentals.

The changes in credit loss provision of $(3.5) million and $(13.6) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively ($(14.1) million and $(14.8) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively), relating to the direct financing and sales-type leases and other within the Company's equity-accounted joint ventures were included in equity income in the Company's consolidated statements

of income. The change in the credit loss provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily reflects an increase in the estimated charter-free valuations for certain types of LNG carriers at the end of their time-charter contract, which are accounted for as direct financing and sales-type leases within investments in equity-accounted joint ventures in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

The changes in the credit loss provision for the Company's consolidated vessels and the vessels within the Company's equity-accounted joint ventures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 do not reflect any material change in expectations of the charterers' ability to make their time-charter hire payments as they come due compared to the beginning of the period.

Long-term obligations related to finance leases	1,457,325	1,574,592

As at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company was a party to finance leases on nine LNG carriers and 10 natural gas liquid (or NGL) carriers. These nine LNG carriers and 10 NGL carriers were sold by the Company to third parties (or Lessors) and leased back under 7.5 to 15-year bareboat charter contracts ending in 2025 through to 2035. At inception of these leases, the weighted-average interest rate implicit in these leases was 5.5%. The bareboat charter contracts are presented as obligations related to finance leases on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

The obligations of the Company under the bareboat charter contracts for the nine LNG carriers and 10 NGL carriers are guaranteed by the Company. The guarantee agreements require the Company to maintain minimum levels of tangible net worth and aggregate liquidity, and not to exceed a maximum amount of leverage, for certain of its finance leases. As at September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants in respect of the obligations related to its finance leases.

As at September 30, 2023, the remaining commitments related to the financial liabilities of these nine LNG carriers and 10 NGL carriers, including the amounts to be paid to repurchase the vessels pursuant to the applicable finance leases, approximated $2.0 billion, including imputed interest of $370.3 million, repayable through 2034, as indicated below:

Thereafter			744,161

In June 2023, the Company gave notice to exercise its repurchase option to acquire one of its NGL carriers, the Ineos Marlin, for a total cost of $60.5 million. The Company expects to complete the repurchase in March 2024.

During September 2023, the Company exercised its repurchase option to acquire one of its NGL carriers, the Ineos Dolphin, for a total cost of $58.0 million. As a result of the repurchase, the Company recognized a gain of $2.6 million which is included in other income (expense) in the Company's consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Immediately following the repurchase, the Company entered into a new financing arrangement whereby it sold the vessel to a third party for $100.0 million and chartered it back for 12 years under a bareboat charter contract. The quarterly charter-hire payments to be made by the Company consist of a fixed amount plus a variable amount based on the Secured Overnight Finance Rate (or SOFR) plus a margin. The Company has an option to repurchase the vessel at the end of the lease term for $24.5 million.

b)Operating Leases

As at September 30, 2023, the Company had in-chartered six liquefied petroleum gas (or LPG) carriers under bareboat charter contracts from a third party until December 2024.

A maturity analysis of the Company's operating lease liabilities from its bareboat charter contracts as at September 30, 2023 is as follows:

5. Revenue

The Company’s primary source of revenue is from chartering its vessels to its customers. The Company primarily utilizes two forms of contracts consisting of time-charter contracts and voyage charter contracts. The Company also generates revenue from the management and operation of vessels and the Bahrain LNG import terminal owned by the Company's equity-accounted joint ventures, as well as providing corporate management services to certain of these entities. Such services may include the arrangement of third-party goods and services for the vessel’s owner. For a description of these contracts, see Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 6 in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements filed with its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Net Investments in Direct Financing and Sales-Type Leases

As at September 30, 2023, the Company had four LNG carriers (December 31, 2022 – three LNG carriers), excluding the vessels in its equity-accounted joint ventures, that are accounted for as direct financing and sales-type leases.

For a description of the Company's LNG carriers accounted for as direct financing leases at December 31, 2022, see Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 6 to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, the Seapeak Creole commenced a 23-year time-charter contract in February 2023. The time-charter contract is being accounted for as a sales-type lease. As a result, upon commencement of the time-charter contract the carrying value of the vessel was derecognized and a net investment in sales-type lease was recognized based on its estimated fair value from third party appraisals, resulting in a gain of $43.8 million being recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The gain is included in gain (write-down) and gain (loss) on sales of vessels in the Company's consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

As at September 30, 2023, estimated lease payments to be received by the Company related to its direct financing and sales-type leases in each of the next five years were approximately $21.0 million (remainder of 2023), $83.7 million (2024), $83.6 million (2025), $82.3 million (2026), $83.6 million (2027) and an aggregate of $691.8 million thereafter. Two leases are expected to end in 2028, one lease is scheduled to end in 2039 and the remaining lease is scheduled to end in 2046.

As at September 30, 2023, the minimum scheduled future rentals to be received by the Company in each of the next five years for the lease and non-lease elements related to charters that were accounted for as operating leases are approximately $130.5 million (remainder of 2023), $463.7 million (2024), $373.8 million (2025), $299.5 million (2026), and $167.2 million (2027). Minimum scheduled future rentals on operating lease contracts do not include rentals from vessels in the Company’s equity-accounted joint ventures, rentals from unexercised option periods of contracts that existed on September 30, 2023, variable or contingent rentals, or rentals from contracts which were entered into or commenced after September 30, 2023. Therefore, the minimum scheduled future rentals on operating leases should not be construed to reflect total charter hire revenues for any of these five years.

Contract Liabilities

As at September 30, 2023, the Company had $37.7 million of advanced payments recognized as contract liabilities included in unearned revenue (December 31, 2022 – $41.0 million, September 30, 2022 – $34.8 million and December 31, 2021 – $22.2 million). The Company recognized $41.2 million and $28.8 million of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, that was recognized as a contract liability at the beginning of such three-month periods. The Company recognized $41.0 million and $22.2 million of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, that was recognized as a contract liability at the beginning of such nine-month periods.

a) As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had advanced $73.4 million to the Bahrain LNG Joint Venture, in which the Company has a 30% ownership interest. These advances bear interest at an annual rate of 6.0%. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, interest earned on these advances amounted to $1.4 million and $4.1 million, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 – $1.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively), and is included in interest income in the Company's consolidated statements of income. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the interest receivable on these advances was $19.2 million and $15.1 million, respectively. Both the advances and the accrued interest on these advances were included in investments in and advances to equity-accounted joint ventures, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

b) In September 2022, the Company sold its 50% ownership interest in the Excalibur Joint Venture, an LNG-related joint venture which owned one LNG carrier that was included in the Company's LNG segment. At the time of the sale, the Company's ownership interest had a net book value $5.3 million.

As at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had one revolving credit facility available, which provided for borrowings of up to $350.0 million (December 31, 2022 – $295.0 million), of which $130.0 million (December 31, 2022 – $45.0 million) was undrawn. Interest payments are based on SOFR plus a margin of 1.50%. The revolving credit facility matures in June 2025. The revolving credit facility is unsecured and may be used by the Company for general company purposes.

As at September 30, 2023, the Company had six U.S. Dollar-denominated term loans and bonds outstanding, which totaled $707.7 million in aggregate principal amount (December 31, 2022 – $791.5 million). Interest payments for one of the term loans, which was repaid in October 2023, was based on LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25%. Interest payments on the remaining term loans are based on SOFR plus an additional amount consisting of a margin and a credit adjustment spread, where such additional amount ranged from 2.11% to 3.45%, and interest payments on the bonds are fixed and range from 4.11% to 4.41%. The six combined term loans and bonds require quarterly interest and principal payments and five have balloon or bullet repayments due at maturity. The term loans and bonds are collateralized by first-priority mortgages on the 12 Company vessels to which the loans relate, together with certain other related security. In addition, as at September 30, 2023, all of the outstanding term loans were guaranteed by either the Company or the ship-owning entities within the RasGas II Joint Venture, in which the Company has a 70% ownership interest.

As at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had Norwegian Krone (or NOK) 2.0 billion of senior unsecured bonds in the Norwegian bond market that mature through 2026. As at September 30, 2023, the total amount of the bonds, which are listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, was $187.0 million (December 31, 2022 – $290.7 million). The interest payments on the bonds are based on Norwegian Interbank Offered Rate (or NIBOR) plus a margin, where margins ranged from 4.90% to 5.15%. The Company entered into cross currency rate swaps, to swap all interest and principal payments of the bonds into U.S. Dollars, with the interest payments fixed at rates ranging from 5.74% to 6.37% and the transfer of principal fixed at $229.0 million upon maturity in exchange for NOK 2.0 billion (see Note 10).

(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

As at September 30, 2023, the Company had one Euro-denominated term loan outstanding, which totaled 32.1 million Euros ($33.9 million) (December 31, 2022 – 76.9 million Euros ($82.3 million)). Interest payments are based on EURIBOR where EURIBOR is limited to zero or above zero values, plus a margin of 1.95%. The term loan requires semi-annual interest and principal payments. The term loan matures in December 2024. The term loan is collateralized by a first-priority mortgage on the one Company vessel to which the loan relates, together with certain other related security and is guaranteed by the Company.

The weighted-average interest rates for the Company’s long-term debt outstanding as at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were 7.57% and 6.63%, respectively. These rates do not reflect the effect of related interest rate swaps that the Company has used to economically hedge certain of its floating-rate debt (see Note 10).

The Euro-denominated term loan and NOK-denominated bonds are revalued at the end of each period using the then-prevailing U.S. Dollar exchange rate. Due primarily to the revaluation of the Company’s NOK-denominated bonds, the Company’s Euro-denominated term loan and restricted cash, and the change in the valuation of the Company’s cross currency swaps, the Company incurred foreign exchange gains of $1.8 million and $nil for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively ($9.4 million and $29.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively).

The aggregate annual long-term debt principal repayments required under the Company's revolving credit facility, loans and bonds subsequent to September 30, 2023 are $28.5 million (remainder of 2023), $116.6 million (2024), $396.4 million (2025), $396.1 million (2026), $29.8 million (2027) and $181.2 million (thereafter).

Certain loan agreements require that (a) the Company maintains minimum levels of tangible net worth and aggregate liquidity, (b) the Company maintain certain ratios of vessel values related to the relevant outstanding loan principal balance, (c) the Company not exceed a maximum amount of leverage, and (d) certain of the Company’s subsidiaries maintain restricted cash deposits. As at September 30, 2023, the Company had four credit facilities with an aggregate outstanding loan balance of $390.2 million that require it to maintain minimum vessel-value-to-outstanding-loan-principal-balance ratios of 110%, 120%, 120% and 135%, which as at September 30, 2023, were 149%, 137%, 177% and 510%, respectively. The vessel values used in calculating these ratios are the appraised values provided by third parties, where available, or prepared by the Company based on second-hand sale and purchase market data. Since vessel values can be volatile, the Company’s estimates of market value may not be indicative of either the current or future prices that could be obtained if the Company sold any of the vessels. The Company’s ship-owning subsidiaries may not, among other things, pay dividends or distributions if the Company's subsidiaries are in default under their term loans and, in addition, one of the term loans in the RasGas II Joint Venture requires it to satisfy a minimum vessel value to outstanding loan principal balance ratio to pay dividends. As at September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants relating to the Company’s credit facilities and other long-term debt.

8. Income Tax Expense

The components of the provision for income tax expense are as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023	2022	2023	2022
	$	$	$	$
Current	(645)	(733)	(4,019)	(5,367)
Deferred	(1,427)	(1,547)	(3,639)	(1,418)
Income tax expense	(2,072)	(2,280)	(7,658)	(6,785)

Included in the Company's current income tax expense are provisions for uncertain tax positions relating to freight taxes. The Company does not presently anticipate that its provisions for these uncertain tax positions will significantly increase in the next 12 months; however, this is dependent on the jurisdictions in which vessel trading activity occurs. The Company reviews its freight tax obligations on a regular basis and may update its assessment of its tax positions based on available information at that time. Such information may include additional legal advice as to the applicability of freight taxes in relevant jurisdictions. Freight tax regulations are subject to change and interpretation; therefore, the amounts recorded by the Company may change accordingly.

British Pound Sterling	5,200	0.8104	(125)	1,426	4,991
Canadian Dollar	7,500	1.3440	(82)	1,104	4,476
			(207)	2,530	9,467

(i)Average contractual exchange rate represents the contracted amount of foreign currency one U.S. Dollar will buy.

The Company entered into cross currency swaps concurrently with the issuance of its NOK-denominated senior unsecured bonds (see Note 7), and pursuant to these swaps, the Company receives the principal amount in NOK on maturity dates of the swaps in exchange for payments of a fixed U.S. Dollar amount. In addition, the cross currency swaps exchange a receipt of floating interest in NOK based on NIBOR plus a margin for a payment of U.S. Dollar fixed interest. The purpose of the cross currency swaps is to economically hedge the foreign currency exposure on the payment of interest and principal of the Company’s NOK-denominated bonds due in 2025 and 2026, and to economically hedge the interest rate exposure. The following table reflects information relating to the cross currency swaps as at September 30, 2023.


		Floating Rate Receivable
Principal Amount NOK	Principal Amount $	Reference Rate	Margin	Fixed Rate Payable	Fair Value / Carrying Amount of Asset (Liability) $	Weighted- Average Remaining Term (Years)

1,000,000	117,000	NIBOR	4.90%	6.37%	(13,875)	3.1
					(23,599)

Interest Rate Risk

(ii)Principal amount reduces quarterly.

(iii)Two interest rate swaps are subject to mandatory early termination in 2024 whereby the swaps will be settled based on their fair value at that time.

(iv)Forward-starting interest rate swaps with inception dates ranging from October 2023 to April 2024.

(v)Principal amount reduces monthly.

(vi)Forward-starting interest rate swaps with inception dates ranging from September 2025 to June 2026.

(vii)These interest rate swaps are subject to mandatory early termination in 2025 and 2026 whereby the swaps will be settled based on their fair value at that time.

As at September 30, 2023, the Company had multiple interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps and foreign currency forward contracts with the same counterparty that are subject to the same master agreement. Each of these master agreements provides for the net settlement of all swaps subject to that master agreement through a single payment in the event of default or termination of any one swap. The fair value of these derivative instruments is presented on a gross basis in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As at September 30, 2023, these derivative instruments had an aggregate fair value asset of $103.7 million (December 31, 2022 – $51.4 million)

As at September 30, 2023, the Company's proportionate share of the estimated final construction installment on the LNG terminal is $11.3 million and is expected to be incurred in late-2024. The Bahrain LNG Joint Venture intends to finance the final construction installment through its existing undrawn financing, of which $7.2 million relates to the Company's proportionate share, its existing liquidity, and its future operating cash flow.

(d)The Company owns 70% of the Tangguh Joint Venture, which is a party to operating leases whereby the Tangguh Joint Venture is leasing the Tangguh Hiri and Tangguh Sago LNG carriers (or the Tangguh LNG Carriers) to a third party, which is in turn leasing the vessels back to the joint venture. The Company’s minimum charter hire payments to be paid and received under these leases are described in more detail in Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 14e to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements filed with its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022. Under the terms of the leasing arrangement for the Tangguh LNG Carriers, whereby the Tangguh Joint Venture is the lessee, the lessor claims tax depreciation on its lease of these vessels. As is typical in these types of leasing arrangements, tax and change of law risks are assumed by the lessee. Lease payments under the lease arrangements are based on certain tax and financial assumptions at the commencement of the leases. If an assumption proves to be incorrect, the lessor is entitled to increase the lease payments to maintain its agreed after-tax margin. The UK corporate income tax rate increased from 19% to 25%, effective April 1, 2023. Consequently, the sublease payments the Company estimates that the Tangguh Joint Venture will pay in aggregate each year to lease the vessels back increased from $23.9 million to $27.5 million. As at September 30, 2023, the carrying amount of this estimated tax indemnification obligation relating to the leasing arrangement through the Tangguh Joint Venture was $4.4 million (December 31, 2022 – $4.7 million) and was included as part of other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets of the Company.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in "Item 1 – Financial Statements" of this Report on Form 6-K and with our audited consolidated financial statements contained in "Item 18 – Financial Statements" and with "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in "Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022. Included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F is important information about items that you should consider when evaluating our results, information about the types of contracts we enter into and certain non-GAAP measures we utilize to measure our performance. Unless otherwise indicated, references in this Report to “we,” “us” and “our” and similar terms refer to Seapeak LLC and its subsidiaries.

OVERVIEW

Seapeak LLC is an international provider of marine transportation services focusing on liquefied natural gas (or LNG) and natural gas liquid (or NGL). Our primary strategy focuses on servicing customers through our fleet of vessels under medium to long-term, fixed-rate charters. We may evaluate and enter into adjacent liquefied gas markets, renewable markets, and other maritime opportunities. In executing our strategy, we may engage in vessel or business acquisitions or enter into joint ventures and partnerships with companies that provide increased access to emerging opportunities from global expansion of the LNG and NGL sectors.

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS IN 2023

LNG Carriers Charter Contracts

In October 2023, the Seapeak Catalunya commenced a one-year, fixed-rate charter contract with an extension option of up to one year exercisable by the charterer.

In October 2023, the charterer of the Murex LNG carrier exercised the first of four three-year extension options at a fixed rate, which commences in November 2024.

In June 2023, the charterer of the Myrina LNG carrier exercised the first of four three-year extension options at a fixed rate, which commences in May 2024.

In February 2023, the Seapeak Creole commenced a 23-year, fixed-rate charter contract.

Vessel Sales

In October 2023, we entered into an agreement to sell the Seapeak Napa multi-gas carrier for net proceeds of $9.8 million. The vessel is expected to be delivered to its buyer in early-2024.

In October 2023, the Exmar LPG Joint Venture, in which we have a 50% ownership interest, sold two LPG carriers, the Libramont and the Sombeke, for total net proceeds of $69.3 million.

In June 2023, we sold the Seapeak Polar LNG carrier for net proceeds of $14.7 million.

In April 2023, we sold the Seapeak Vision multi-gas carrier for net proceeds of $24.0 million.

In March 2023, we sold the Seapeak Unikum multi-gas carrier for net proceeds of $24.7 million.

In February 2023, we sold the Seapeak Arctic LNG carrier for net proceeds of $14.9 million.

Russian Invasion of Ukraine

The disruption in the energy markets caused by, and the sanctions announced in response to, Russia's invasion of Ukraine may adversely impact our business given Russia’s role as a major global exporter of crude oil and natural gas. Our business could be harmed by trade tariffs, trade embargoes, asset freezes, entity designations or other economic sanctions by the United States, the EU, the United Kingdom or other countries against Russia, Russian companies or the Russian energy sector and harmed by any retaliatory measures by Russia in response. While much uncertainty remains regarding the global impact of Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, it is possible that the hostilities could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Furthermore, it is possible that third parties with whom we have charter contracts or business arrangements may be impacted by events in Russia and Ukraine, which could adversely affect our operations and financial condition. To date, we have not experienced any material adverse operational or financial impact as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following includes a comparison of the components of our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same periods of the prior year.

Liquefied Natural Gas Segment

As at September 30, 2023, our LNG segment fleet included 49 LNG carriers (including five LNG carriers under construction), and one LNG regasification terminal in Bahrain, in which our interests ranged from 20% to 100%.

The following table compares our LNG segment’s operating results, revenue days, calendar-ship-days and utilization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and compares its net voyage revenues (which is a non-GAAP financial measure) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 to income from vessel operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. With the exception of equity income and vessels under construction, all data in this table only includes the 20 LNG carriers that are accounted for under the consolidation method of accounting as at September 30, 2023 (September 30, 2022 - 22 LNG carriers and the Seapeak Magellan chartered-in from our 52% owned MALT Joint Venture until June 2022) and the ship management and corporate services we provide to certain of our equity-accounted joint ventures. A comparison of the results from vessels and assets accounted for under the equity method is described later in this section under "Equity Income".

(i) This is a non-GAAP financial measure; for more information about this measure, including a reconciliation to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, please read “Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

(ii) Includes direct general and administrative expenses and indirect general and administrative expenses (allocated to each segment based on estimated use of resources). See the discussion under “Other Operating Results” below.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our LNG segment's total calendar-ship-days were 5,691 compared to 6,160 days for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in total calendar-ship-days is primarily due to the sales of the Seapeak Polar LNG carrier in June 2023 and the Seapeak Arctic LNG carrier in February 2023, and the redelivery of the Seapeak Magellan LNG carrier to the MALT Joint Venture at the end of its in-charter contract in June 2022.

Net Voyage Revenues. Net voyage revenues increased by $5.8 million and $3.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods of the prior year, primarily as a result of:

•an increase of $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to a decrease in scheduled dry dockings on certain of our LNG carriers during 2023;

•an increase of $6.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to fewer off-hire days for unscheduled repairs and fewer idle days on certain of our LNG carriers during the third quarter of 2023;

•an increase of $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to revisions to our estimates of operational claims on certain of our LNG carriers;

•increases of $1.2 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to higher charter rates earned by certain of our LNG carriers during 2023; and

•increases of $0.8 million and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to the reimbursement of seafarers costs (offset in operating expenses) and ship management and corporate service revenues from certain of our equity-accounted joint ventures following the acquisition of certain restructured subsidiaries from Teekay Corporation (or the Teekay Subsidiaries) on January 13, 2022 (see "Item 1- Financial Statements: Note 1 - Basis of Presentation");

partially offset by:

•a decrease of $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to the redelivery of the Seapeak Magellan LNG carrier to the Malt LNG Joint Venture in June 2022;

•a decrease of $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to layup of the Seapeak Arctic LNG carrier following redelivery from its charterer in April 2022 and the subsequent sale of the vessel in February 2023;

•a decrease of $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to an increase in scheduled dry dockings on certain of our LNG carriers during the third quarter of 2023; and

•a decrease of $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to sale of the Seapeak Polar on June 30, 2023.

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased by $2.6 million and $7.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods of the prior year, primarily due to the timing of repairs and maintenance performed on certain of our LNG carriers. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the increase also resulted from seafarers costs incurred for LNG carriers in certain of our equity-accounted joint ventures (offset in net voyage revenues) following the acquisition of the Teekay Subsidiaries on January 13, 2022 (see "Item 1- Financial Statements: Note 1 - Basis of Presentation").

Time-Charter Hire Expense. Time-charter hire expense decreased by $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period of the prior year due to the redelivery of the Seapeak Magellan LNG carrier to the MALT Joint Venture at the end of its in-charter contract in June 2022.

Gain (write-down) and gain (loss) on sales of vessels. Gain (write-down) and gain (loss) on sales of vessels increased by $79.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily as a result of:

•an increase of $44.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to write-downs of two of our LNG carriers, the Seapeak Arctic and Seapeak Polar, to their estimated fair values during the first quarter of 2022, as a result of changes in our expectations of these vessels' future opportunities subsequent to the completion of their time-charter contracts in April 2022;

•an increase of $43.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to a gain recognized upon commencement of the Seapeak Creole LNG carrier's 23-year time-charter contract in February 2023, which was classified as a sales-type lease; and

•an increase of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to a gain on sale of the Seapeak Polar LNG carrier in June 2023;

partially offset by:

•a decrease of $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to a further write-down of the Seapeak Polar LNG carrier to its estimated fair value, as a result of further changes in our expectations of this vessel's future opportunities subsequent to the completion of its time-charter contract in May 2023; and

•a decrease of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to a loss on sale of the Seapeak Arctic LNG carrier in February 2023.

Equity Income. Equity income decreased by $27.5 million and $50.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods of the prior year. Included in these decreases are decreases of $6.6 million and $38.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to lower unrealized gains on non-designated derivative instruments primarily due to lower increases in long-term forward benchmark interest rates in 2023 compared to the same periods of the prior year and decreases of $10.6 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 related to lower unrealized credit loss provisions recorded in certain of our equity-accounted joint ventures primarily due to a lower increase in the estimated charter-free vessel fair values during 2023 compared to the same periods of the prior year for vessels servicing time-charter contracts accounted for as direct financing or sales-type leases. Excluding these changes in unrealized gains on non-designated derivative instruments and unrealized credit loss provisions, equity income decreased by $10.3 million and $11.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods of the prior year, primarily as a result of:

•a decrease of $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from our Yamal LNG Joint Venture primarily due to higher earnings during 2022 related to an increase in estimated reimbursements of dry-docking expenditures as a result of a projected increase in future dry docking costs;

•a decrease of $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from our Malt LNG Joint Venture primarily due to the scheduled dry docking and unscheduled repairs on certain LNG carriers during the three months ended September 30, 2023;

•a decrease of $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to a gain on the sale of our 50% interest in the Excalibur Joint Venture in September 2022, which owned the Excalibur LNG carrier that had been idle since the completion of its time-charter contract in December 2021;

•decreases of $1.8 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 from our RasGas III LNG Joint Venture primarily due to an increase in interest expense related to increases in LIBOR during 2023 and the timing of repairs and maintenance performed on certain LNG carriers during 2023;

•decreases of $1.5 million and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 from our Pan Union LNG Joint Venture primarily due to a change in the accounting of the lease component of its time-charter contracts with its sole customer from direct financing leases to operating leases, following a contract modification in the fourth quarter of 2022;

•a decrease of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to revisions to estimates of operational claims on certain LNG carriers within our Angola LNG Joint Venture; and

•decreases of $0.6 million and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 from our Bahrain LNG Joint Venture primarily due to an increase in repair activity related to the Bahrain LNG terminal during 2023;

partially offset by:

•an increase of $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to the sale of our 50% interest in the Excalibur Joint Venture in September 2022, which owned the Excalibur LNG carrier that had been idle since the completion of its time-charter contract in December 2021; and

•an increase of $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from our Malt LNG Joint Venture primarily due to higher charter rates earned for certain of its LNG carriers during 2023.

Natural Gas Liquid Segment

As at September 30, 2023, our NGL segment fleet, which consists of LPG, ethane and multi-gas carriers, included 23 NGL carriers, in which we own a 50% interest (including three time chartered-in NGL carriers and four NGL carriers under construction), 14 wholly-owned NGL carriers and six chartered-in NGL carriers under bareboat charter contracts scheduled to end in December 2024.

On December 29, 2022, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests in Greenship Gas Trust and Greenship Gas Manager Pte. Ltd. and their subsidiaries (collectively, Evergas). As part of the acquisition, we acquired two Very Large Ethane Carriers and eight Semi-Refrigerated/Multi-gas carriers that were built between 2015 and 2020, and six in-chartered LPG carriers under bareboat charter contracts scheduled to end in December 2024.

The following table compares our NGL segment’s operating results, revenue days, calendar-ship-days and utilization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and compares its net voyage revenues (which is a non-GAAP financial measure) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 to income from vessel operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. With the exception of equity income, all data in this table only includes 14 wholly-owned NGL carriers and six chartered-in NGL carriers that are accounted for under the consolidation method of accounting as at September 30, 2023 (September 30, 2022 - six wholly-owned NGL carriers). A comparison of the results from vessels and assets accounted for under the equity method are described below under "Equity Income".

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our NGL segment's total calendar-ship-days were 5,640 compared to 1,818 days for the same period of the prior year. The increase in total calendar-ship-days is due to the acquisition of Evergas, partially offset by sale of the Seapeak Vision, Seapeak Unikum, and Sonoma Spirit in April 2023, March 2023 and June 2022, respectively.

Net Voyage Revenues. Net voyage revenues increased by $31.7 million and $92.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods of the prior year, primarily as a result of:

•increases of $33.3 million and $99.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 related to the acquisition of Evergas in December 2022;

partially offset by:

•decreases of $2.0 million and $7.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to the sales of the Seapeak Vision, Seapeak Unikum, and Sonoma Spirit in April 2023, March 2023 and June 2022, respectively.

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expense increased by $9.2 million and $27.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods of the prior year, primarily due to the acquisition of Evergas in December 2022.

Time-Charter Hire Expense. Time-charter hire expense increased by $2.0 million and $6.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods of the prior year, due to the acquisition of Evergas in December 2022 and its six chartered in LPG carriers.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $7.6 million and $21.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods of the prior year, primarily due to the acquisition of Evergas in December 2022.

Equity Income. Equity income from the Exmar LPG Joint Venture increased by $3.1 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods of the prior year, primarily due to:

•increases of $3.3 million and $7.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to higher charter rates earned during 2023;

•an increase of $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to a write-down of the Bastonge LPG carrier, to its estimated fair value, during the second quarter of 2022; and

•an increase of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to the timing of repairs and maintenance performed on certain LPG carriers;

partially offset by:

•decreases of $1.6 million and $4.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to the sales of the Bastonge and Eupen LPG carriers in February 2023 and October 2022, respectively;

•decreases of $0.2 million and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to higher unrealized losses on non-designated derivative instruments during 2023 due to changes in long-term forward benchmark interest rates; and

•a decrease of $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to a gain on the sale of the Brussels LPG carrier during the first quarter of 2022.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $6.9 million and $23.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $5.6 million and $19.6 million for the same periods of the prior year. The increases primarily relate to the acquisition of Evergas in December 2022.

Restructuring Charges. Restructuring charges were $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to severance costs resulting from the reorganization and realignment of employees as a result of the acquisition of us by Stonepeak Partners L.P. in January 2022.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $47.9 million and $141.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $35.0 million and $96.7 million for the same periods of the prior year. Interest expense primarily reflects interest incurred on our long-term debt and obligations related to finance leases. The increases were primarily due to higher debt balances substantially related to the acquisition of Evergas in December 2022 and, to a lesser extent, increases in floating interest rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods of the prior year.

Interest Income. Interest income was $3.1 million and $8.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $2.1 million and $5.1 million for the same periods of the prior year. The increases in interest income were primarily due to increases in interest rates earned on our short-term deposits.

Realized and Unrealized Gain on Non-designated Derivative Instruments. We enter into interest rate swaps which exchange a receipt of floating interest for a payment of fixed interest to reduce exposure to interest rate variability on certain of our outstanding U.S. Dollar-denominated and Euro-denominated floating rate debt. Our interest rate swaps typically require settlements every three months and the receipt of floating interest is based on the prevailing LIBOR or SOFR rate at the beginning of the settlement period. Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 10 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" provides details of our current derivative positions and a breakdown of realized and unrealized gains (losses) relating to these non-designated interest rate swap agreements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Realized gains (losses) during a period reflect prevailing LIBOR or SOFR rates that are higher (lower) than the average fixed rates of our interest rate swaps. Unrealized gains (losses) will primarily reflect an increase (decrease) in the long-term LIBOR or SOFR yield curve during each relevant period. Realized and unrealized gain on non-designated derivative instruments were $47.5 million and $67.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $22.7 million and $63.4 million for the same periods of the prior year, primarily due to changes in the prevailing and forward LIBOR and SOFR rates during these periods.

Foreign Currency Exchange Gain (Loss). Foreign currency exchange gain (loss) was $1.8 million and nil for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $9.4 million and $29.6 million for the same periods of the prior year. These foreign currency exchange gains and losses were primarily due to the relevant period-end revaluation of our NOK-denominated debt and our Euro-denominated term loans for financial reporting purposes into U.S. Dollars, net of the realized and unrealized gains and losses on our cross currency swaps. Gains and losses on NOK-denominated and Euro-denominated monetary liabilities reflect a stronger (gains) or weaker (losses) U.S. Dollar against the NOK and Euro on the date of revaluation or settlement compared to the rate in effect at the beginning of the period. Our cross currency swaps economically hedge all of the foreign currency and interest rate exposure on our NOK-denominated debt. Our Euro-denominated debt was used to purchase two vessels that are on long-term charters which entitle us to payment of charter-hire in Euros. As such, our Euro-denominated debt is being repaid with these fixed Euro charter hire receipts and consequently our Euro currency exposure is limited by this arrangement.

Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) was $7.7 million and $21.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $14.0 million and $(8.4) million for the same periods of the prior year. The change in other income (expense) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to reversals of unrealized credit loss provisions as a result of higher estimated charter-free vessel fair values during 2022 and 2023 for certain of our LNG vessels, which are servicing time-charter contracts accounted for as direct financing leases, and their impact on our expectation of the value of such vessels upon completion of their existing charter contracts, and a $2.6 million gain recognized upon the repurchase of the Ineos Dolphin LNG carrier during the third quarter of 2023. The change in other income (expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was also due to $18.0 million in fees relating to professional services provided in connection with the acquisition of us by Stonepeak Partners L.P. during the first quarter of 2022.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $2.1 million and $7.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $2.3 million and $6.8 million for the same periods of the prior year, primarily due to changes in current and deferred tax balances related to the timing of deductions in our Tangguh Joint Venture, in which we have a 70% ownership interest, and the acquisition of Evergas in December 2022.

Other Comprehensive Income. Other comprehensive income was $11.0 million and $12.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $28.7 million and $92.8 million for the same periods of the prior year. The decreases in other comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were primarily due to lower unrealized gains on our interest rate swap agreements where the results of our joint ventures reflect the use of hedge accounting, due to changes in the forward LIBOR and SOFR benchmark interest rates during these periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Capital

For a description of our sources and uses of capital, please read “Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Our sources of funds include borrowings from debt facilities and borrowings from obligations related to finance leases, which are described in "Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 7 – Long-Term Debt and Note 4a – Chartered-in Vessels - Obligations related to Finance Leases". We also guarantee our proportionate share of certain loan facilities and obligations on interest rate swaps for certain of our equity-accounted joint ventures. As at September 30, 2023, this proportionate share, based on the aggregate principal amount of the loan facilities and fair value of the interest rate swaps, was $1.0 billion. As at September 30, 2023, our equity-accounted joint ventures were in compliance with all covenants relating to these loan facilities that we guarantee.

Certain of our credit facilities and obligations related to finance leases require us to maintain financial covenants. If we do not meet these financial covenants, the lender or lessor may limit our ability to borrow additional funds under our credit facilities and accelerate the repayment of our revolving credit facilities, term loans and obligations related to finance leases, which would have a significant impact on our short-term liquidity requirements. The terms of and compliance with these financial covenants are described in further detail in "Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 4a – Chartered-in Vessels - Obligations related to Finance Leases and Note 7 – Long-Term Debt" included in this Report. Certain of our debt facilities and obligations related to finance leases require us to make interest payments based on LIBOR, NIBOR, EURIBOR or SOFR. Significant increases in interest rates could adversely affect results of operations and our ability to service our debt; however, as part of our strategy to minimize financial risk, we use interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps to reduce our exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates. Our current positions are described in further detail in "Item 1 - Financial Statements: Note 10 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" included in this Report and the extent of our exposure to changes in interest rates is described in further detail in "Item 11 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Liquidity

Our total liquidity, which consists of cash, cash equivalents and undrawn credit facilities, was $299.3 million as at September 30, 2023, compared to $260.7 million as at December 31, 2022, an increase of $38.6 million. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the amounts available and undrawn on our revolving credit facility of $85.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $46.4 million (as detailed in "Item 1 - Financial Statements: Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows" included in this Report excluding a decrease in restricted cash of $35.7 million).

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as at September 30, 2023, excluding those of our equity-accounted joint ventures. We expect that our liquidity at September 30, 2023 combined with the operating cash flows we expect to generate from customer contracts in place at September 30, 2023 will be sufficient to pay our obligations coming due in the next 12 months following September 30, 2023. Our ability to pay our obligations, and refinance our long-term debt and finance leases coming due subsequent to September 30, 2023 will depend on, among other things, our ability to continue to service our long-term charter contracts, our financial condition and the condition of credit markets in the months leading up to the maturity dates. We may expand the size of our fleet through the acquisition of new or second-hand vessels or through the construction of additional new vessels. Our ability to continue to expand the size of our fleet over the long-term is dependent upon our ability to generate operating cash flow, obtain long-term bank borrowings, sale-leaseback financings and other debt, as well as our ability to raise debt or equity financing.

(ii)Includes, in addition to lease payments, amounts to purchase the leased vessels at the end of their respective lease terms.

(iii)We have corresponding leases whereby we are the lessor and expect to receive approximately $116.9 million under these leases from the remainder of 2023 to 2029.

(iv)During November 2022, we entered into contracts with Samsung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. for the construction of five 174,000-cubic meter M-type, Electronically Controlled, Gas Admission propulsion LNG carriers, which are scheduled for deliveries throughout 2027. We intend to finance the remaining estimated newbuilding costs with our existing liquidity and future operating cash flow, as well as long-term debt financing to be arranged for the vessels prior to their scheduled deliveries.

In addition to the commitments in the table above, our equity-accounted joint ventures have commitments to fund newbuilding and other construction contract costs all of which are non-recourse to us. See "Item 1 - Financial Statements: Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies" included in this Report.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Risk Factors

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which require us to make estimates in the application of our accounting policies based on our best assumptions, judgments and opinions. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could materially differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. Accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in "Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Critical Accounting Estimates" of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, are those that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements, because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties. For a further description of our critical accounting policies, please read "Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Critical Accounting Estimates" and "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no significant changes in accounting estimates and assumptions from those discussed in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

In addition to the other information set forth in this Report on Form 6-K, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 3. Key Information - Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Net Voyage Revenues

Net voyage revenues is a non-GAAP financial measure. Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, we use net voyage revenues as a measure of equating revenues generated from voyage charters to revenues generated from time-charters, which assists us in making operating decisions about the deployment of our vessels and their performance. Since, under time-charters, the charterer pays the voyage expenses, whereas under voyage charters, the shipowner pays these expenses, we include voyage expenses in net voyage revenues. Some voyage expenses are fixed, and the remainder can be estimated. If we, as the shipowner, pay the voyage expenses, we typically pass on to our customers the approximate amount of these expenses by charging higher rates under the contract or billing the expenses to them. As a result, although voyage revenues from different types of contracts may vary, the net voyage revenues are generally comparable across the different types of contracts. We principally use net voyage revenues because it provides more meaningful information to us than voyage revenues. Net voyage revenues is also widely used by investors and analysts in the shipping industry for comparing financial performance between companies and to industry averages.

How we use net voyage revenues and the reasons for such use may be unique to the shipping industry. Given that net voyage revenues is a measure which deducts certain operating expenses from revenue, this metric may be more commonly viewed as an alternative measure of gross profit. Viewed in this context, income from operations would be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, and net voyage revenues has been defined as income (loss) from vessel operations before restructuring charges, (gain) write-down and (gain) loss on sales of

vessels, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, time-charter hire expenses and vessel operating expenses. The following table reconciles net voyage revenues with income (loss) from vessel operations:
