ALTERA INFRASTRUCTURE L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except unit and per unit data)
1.Nature and Description of the Partnership
Altera Infrastructure L.P. and its wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries (collectively, the Partnership) is an international infrastructure services provider to the offshore oil and gas industry, focused on the ownership and operation of critical infrastructure assets in offshore oil regions of the North Sea, Brazil and the East Coast of Canada. The Partnership was formed as a limited partnership established under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands in August 2006 and the Partnership's affairs are governed by the Marshall Islands Limited Partnership Act and its limited partnership agreement as amended. The Partnership is a subsidiary of Brookfield Business Partners L.P. (NYSE: BBU) (TSX: BBU.UN) (or with its affiliates, Brookfield), while Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (NYSE: BAM) (TSX: BAM.A), an entity incorporated in Ontario, Canada, is the ultimate parent of the Partnership.
The Partnership’s preferred equity units are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbols “ALIN PR A”, “ALIN PR B” and “ALIN PR E” respectively.
The registered head office of the Partnership is Altera House, Unit 3, Prospect Park, Arnhall Business Park, Westhill, Aberdeenshire, AB32 6FJ, United Kingdom.
2.Significant Accounting Policies
a.Basis of presentation
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting (or IAS 34), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (or IASB). These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Partnership operates on a going concern basis and have been presented in U.S. dollars rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise indicated.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Partnership’s annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021, except for the adoption of new standards and changes in the Partnership's accounting policies effective as of 1 January 2022, as described below in Note 2c. There have been no significant changes to the method of determining significant estimates and judgments since December 31, 2021.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by management and authorized for issue on May 2, 2022.
b.Going concern
As at March 31, 2022, the Partnership had a working capital deficit of $381.3 million. The Partnership's working capital deficit has increased from $276.4 million as at December 31, 2021, primarily due to a $165.6 million increase in scheduled maturities and repayments of outstanding borrowings during the 12 months ending March 31, 2023, which were classified as current as at March 31, 2022, partially offset by a $59.0 million decrease in accounts payable and other.
During 2021, the Partnership completed various measures to improve its debt maturity profile and enhance its liquidity and financial flexibility, including but not limited to exchanging $769.3 million of Brookfield debt with 2022 to 2024 maturities into debt with interest paid in kind and with a 2026 maturity, discontinuing distributions on the Series A, Series B and Series E Preferred Units, issuing $180.0 million of new 2025 bonds in the shuttle tanker segment and refinancing the Petrojarl I FPSO unit. See Notes 10, 11 and 15 for additional information. While these measures improved the Partnership's liquidity position, the Partnership continues to explore its liquidity management opportunities and seek to improve and extend its debt profile.
In addition to the successfully completed initiatives during 2021, it is still critical that the Partnership will need to obtain additional sources of financing, in addition to amounts generated from operations, to meet its obligations and commitments and minimum liquidity requirements under its financial covenants. These requirements include but are not limited to maintaining a minimum liquidity in an amount equal to the greater of $75 million and 5% of total debt as well as maintaining within the Partnership's wholly-owned subsidiary, Altera Shuttle Tankers L.L.C., a minimum liquidity in an amount equal to the greater of $35 million and 5% of total debt and a net debt to total capitalization ratio of no greater than 75%.
Additional potential sources of financing that the Partnership is actively pursuing, during the one-year period to March 31, 2023, include entering into new debt facilities, borrowing additional amounts under existing facilities, the refinancing, extension or other amendments, including amendment of financial covenants, of certain borrowings and interest rate swaps, selling certain assets, seeking joint venture partners for the Partnership's business interests, entering into sale-leaseback agreements, increasing equity, and other potential liability management transactions. Additional potential sources of amounts generated from operations include the extensions and redeployments of existing assets, higher utilization of the operating fleet, increased rates for vessels operating in the spot market, increased oil price-based tariffs from certain FPSOs and working capital optimizations.

The Partnership is actively pursuing or may pursue the financing initiatives described above, which it considers probable of completion based on the Partnership’s history of being able to raise and refinance borrowings for similar types of vessels and based on the Partnership's assessment of current conditions and estimated future conditions. The Partnership is in various stages of progression on these matters.
Based on the Partnership’s liquidity at the date of these unaudited consolidated financial statements, the liquidity it expects to generate from operations over the following year, and by incorporating the Partnership’s plans to raise additional liquidity that it considers probable of completion, the Partnership expects that it will have sufficient liquidity to enable the Partnership to continue as a going concern for at least the one-year period to March 31, 2023.
c.New standards, interpretations, amendments and policies adopted by the Partnership
The Partnership has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
i.Estimation uncertainty
COVID-19
The Partnership has not identified any new significant developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic which would impact key critical judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported and contingent amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, including whether any additional indicators of impairment were present for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Partnership will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and review its critical estimates and judgements as circumstances evolve.
Climate Change
The Partnership could be affected by an accelerated energy transition driven by climate change. The Partnership's strategy, capital allocation and selection of projects are guided by the vision to lead the industry to a sustainable future, and climate-related risks are key drivers for this transition. The effect of these risks on the Partnership's compliance costs, capital expenditures, cash flow from operations and other assumptions are inherently uncertain and may differ from actual amounts. The Partnership did not experience any impact from an accelerated energy transition driven by climate change on its financial results as at March 31, 2022. The risks will, however, remain key considerations for impairment testing, estimation of remaining useful lives of assets in the Partnership's fleet and provisions for future periods.
The Invasion of Ukraine by Russia
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the U.S., several European Union nations, and other countries have announced sanctions against Russia. While it is difficult to anticipate the potential for any indirect impact the sanctions announced to date may have on the Partnership's business and the Partnership, any further sanctions imposed or actions taken by the U.S., EU nations or other countries, and any retaliatory measures by Russia in response, including restrictions on oil shipments from Russia, could lead to increased volatility in global oil demand, which could have a material adverse impact on the Partnership's business, results of operations and financial condition. The Partnership has no operations or contracts with counterparties in Ukraine or Russia and did not experience any material impact from the invasion on its financial results as at March 31, 2022. The Partnership intends to continue to monitor the situation and review its critical estimates and judgments as circumstances evolve.

The fair value of all financial assets and liabilities as at March 31, 2022 approximated their carrying values, with the exception of the borrowings, where fair value which was determined using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs and resulted in a fair value of $2,324 million (December 31, 2021: $2,362 million) compared to a carrying value of $2,455 million (December 31, 2021: $2,464 million). The fair value of the Partnership’s borrowings is either based on quoted market prices or estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities and the current credit worthiness of the Partnership.
Fair value hierarchical levels - financial instruments
For assets and liabilities that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Partnership determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers between levels during the three months ended March 31, 2022, nor during the year ended December 31, 2021. Additionally, there were no changes in the Partnership’s valuation processes, valuation techniques, and types of inputs used in the fair value measurements during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Partnership's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss on a recurring basis as at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Derivative Financial Instruments

Total non-current | 231 | | | — | | | — | | | 541 | |
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Partnership is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes, primarily through its floating-rate borrowings that require it to make interest payments based on LIBOR. Significant increases in interest rates could adversely affect operating margins, results of operations and the Partnership's ability to service its debt. The Partnership uses interest rate swaps to reduce its exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates. The principal objective of these contracts is to minimize the risks and costs associated with the Partnership's floating-rate debt.
The Partnership enters into interest rate swaps, which exchange a receipt of floating interest for a payment of fixed interest, to reduce the Partnership’s exposure to interest rate variability on its outstanding floating-rate debt. The Partnership has not designated, for accounting purposes, any of its interest rate swaps as hedges of variable rate debt. Certain of the Partnership's interest rate swaps are secured by vessels.
In February 2021, the Partnership terminated two and amended two of its interest rate swap agreements, which as at December 31, 2020, had a total notional amount of $600.3 million and a total fair value liability of $147.5 million. These interest rate swaps included early termination provisions, which if exercised, would have terminated these interest rate swaps in February 2021. Following the terminations and amendments, the total notional amount relating to the two remaining interest rate swap agreements was reduced to $132.0 million in April 2021. These agreements included mandatory termination provisions which terminated these two interest rate swaps in February

14.Segment Information
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Partnership's operations were organized into five operating segments: FPSO, Shuttle Tanker, FSO, UMS and Towage, and two business segments: New Ventures and Corporate/Eliminations. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Partnership's operations were organized into five operating segments: FPSO, Shuttle Tanker, FSO, UMS, and Towage and one business segment: Corporate/Eliminations.
These operating segments are regularly reviewed by the Partnership's Chief Operating Decision Maker (or CODM) for the purpose of allocating resources to the segments and to assess their performance. The key measure used by the CODM in assessing performance and in making resource allocation decisions is Adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude certain items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated in advance or that are not considered representative of core operating performance. Such adjustments include impairment expenses, gain (loss) on dispositions, net, unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments, foreign currency exchange gain (loss) and certain other income or expenses. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes: realized gain or loss on interest rate swaps, as management, in assessing the Partnership's performance, views these gains or losses as an element of interest expense; realized gain or loss on derivative instruments resulting from amendments or terminations of the underlying instruments; realized gain or loss on foreign currency forward contracts; and equity-accounted income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA also includes the Partnership's proportionate share of

Adjusted EBITDA from its equity-accounted investments and excludes the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of Adjusted EBITDA. The Partnership does not have control over the operations of, nor does it have any legal claim to the revenues and expenses of its equity-accounted investments. Consequently, the cash flow generated by the Partnership’s equity-accounted investments may not be available for use by the Partnership in the period that such cash flows are generated.
Adjusted EBITDA is also used by external users of the Partnership's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, such as investors and the Partnership’s controlling unitholder.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview of Our Business
We are a leading global energy infrastructure services provider primarily focused on the ownership and operation of critical infrastructure assets in the offshore oil regions of the North Sea, Brazil and the East Coast of Canada. We currently operate floating production, storage and off-loading (or FPSO) units, shuttle tankers, floating storage and off-take (or FSO) units, a unit for maintenance and safety (or UMS) and long-distance towage and offshore installation (or towage) vessels and our operations are organized into these five corresponding operating segments. We also report two additional business segments, New Ventures and Corporate/Eliminations. As at March 31, 2022, our fleet was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Number of Vessels |
| Owned Vessels | | Chartered-in Vessels | | | | Total |
FPSO Segment | 7 | | (i) | | — | | | | | | | 7 | | |
Shuttle Tanker Segment | 23 | | (ii) | | 1 | | | | | | | 24 | | |
FSO Segment | 3 | | | | — | | | | | | | 3 | | |
UMS Segment | 1 | | | | — | | | | | | | 1 | | |
Towage Segment | 10 | | | | — | | | | | | | 10 | | |
Total | 44 | | | | 1 | | | | | | | 45 | | |
(i)Includes two FPSO units, the Cidade de Itajai and Pioneiro de Libra, in which our ownership interest is 50 percent and also includes three wholly-owned units which are currently in lay-up, one of which (the Petrojarl Varg) is held for sale.
(ii)Includes two shuttle tankers in which our ownership interest is 50 percent. All of our operating shuttle tankers provide transportation services to energy companies, predominately in the North Sea, Brazil and the East Coast of Canada. Our shuttle tankers occasionally service the conventional spot tanker market and we occasionally charter-in shuttle tankers in the spot market.
Global crude oil and gas prices have largely recovered from the uncertainty regarding demand created by the COVID-19 pandemic and have more recently increased in connection with the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. However, as the timing of the ongoing global immunization effort, including the effectiveness of the vaccines, and the severity of outbreaks of variants of the virus, as well as the duration and scope of conflict in Ukraine are still highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, the long-term impact of the pandemic and of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on our business, financial condition and operating results cannot be determined. Our business involves the ownership and operation of critical infrastructure assets in offshore oil regions and any significant decrease in demand for crude oil could adversely affect the demand for our vessels and the types of services we offer. Additionally, a continuation of the pandemic or the continuation or expansion of the conflict in Ukraine may result in reduced cash flow and financial condition, including potential liquidity constraints and potential reduced access to capital as a result of any credit tightening generally or due to declines in global financial markets. Our business model is to employ our vessels on fixed-rate contracts with oil companies, typically with terms between three and ten years, and therefore we do not expect any significant near-term impact of the pandemic or of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on our liquidity, except for a decline in activity in the spot markets serviced mainly by our towage vessels. Potential effects of the pandemic and the invasion include, among others, force majeure claims relating to existing contracts, increased counterparty risk and/or default, fewer contract extension opportunities, and in the worst case, contract terminations resulting from relevant early field abandonment programs. As at March 31, 2022, we have not experienced any material business disruptions or a direct material financial impact as a result of the pandemic or of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and we are actively pursuing additional steps to preserve liquidity and our financial flexibility. Our operational focus over the short-term is to focus on extending contracts and the redeployment of our assets that are scheduled to come off charter over the next few years.
Significant Developments
Liquidity Update
In January 2022, we entered into a $32 million revolving credit facility with Brookfield that matures in June 2022. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at 10.0% annually.
Contracts
In February 2022, we signed an agreement with Energean Israel Ltd. to deploy the Arendal Spirit UMS on a 100 day firm contract with extension options.
In February 2022, we entered into a front-end engineering design (or FEED) agreement with Equinor for redeployment of the Petrojarl Knarr FPSO unit on the Rosebank field west of Shetland, United Kingdom.
In January 2022, we agreed with Enauta to extend the Petrojarl I FPSO contract by one year, from May 2023 to May 2024, with an option for the client to extend for an additional year through May 2025.
The Knarr FPSO will cease production on the Knarr field in the North Sea on May 1, 2022, after which decommissioning activities related to the unit will commence.
Delivery of Shuttle Tanker Newbuildings
In March 2022, our final newbuilding in a series of seven, the shuttle tanker Altera Thule, was delivered to us from the yard. We plan to operate this vessel off of the East Coast of Canada. We have drawn down the final $63 million of the previously secured $105 million of borrowings relating to this shuttle tanker newbuilding.
Sales of Vessels
In February 2022, the Partnership entered into an agreement to sell the Petrojarl Varg FPSO unit to an energy company for re-use as a production facility as part of a new field development opportunity. In April 2022, the Partnership completed the sale of the unit for $22 million.
Changes to Board of Directors and Committees
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the following changes were made to our general partner's board of directors and committees:
•In March 2022, Carol Flaton joined the board of directors; Ms. Flaton was also appointed as a member of the Conflicts Committee.
Ms. Flaton has over 30 years of experience in banking and finance with a focus on transformation and restructuring. Since 2019, Ms. Flaton has provided financial advisory services and served as independent director for both public and private companies. Ms. Flaton has an M.B.A. from IMD (International Institute of Management Development, Lausanne, Switzerland) and a B.S. from the University of Delaware.
COVID-19
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we did not experience any material business interruptions or direct material financial impact as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to focus on the safety of our operations and have introduced a number of proactive measures to protect the health and safety of our crews on our vessels as well as at onshore locations. A majority of our revenues are secured under medium-to-long-term contracts that we do not expect will be materially affected by any short-term volatility in oil prices. We continue to closely monitor counterparty risk associated with our vessels under contract and seek to mitigate any potential impact on the business.
The extent to which COVID-19 may impact our results of operations and financial condition, including any possible impairments, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the virus or its variants, vaccination rates and the effectiveness of vaccines, pandemic-related restrictions and other actions to contain or treat its impact, among others. Accordingly, an estimate of the future impact cannot be made at this time.
The Invasion of Ukraine by Russia
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the U.S., several European Union nations, and other countries have announced sanctions against Russia. While it is difficult to anticipate the potential for any indirect impact the sanctions announced to date may have on our business and us, any further sanctions imposed or actions taken by the U.S., EU nations or other countries, and any retaliatory measures by Russia in response, including restrictions on oil shipments from Russia, could lead to increased volatility in global oil demand, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have no operations or contracts with counterparties in Ukraine or Russia and did not experience any material impact from the invasion on our financial results as at March 31, 2022. We intend to continue to monitor the situation and review our critical estimates and judgments as circumstances evolve.
Results of Operations
The following tables present our consolidated operating results, and certain results for our five operating segments and two business segments, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
Please note that our interest expense, interest income, realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments, foreign currency exchange gain (loss), other income (expenses) and income tax expense (benefit) are not allocated to individual segments, as these are managed on an overall basis for us.

Adjusted EBITDA is also used by external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as investors and our controlling unitholder.
Revenues
Revenues increased to $324 million, from $273 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to increases in our FPSO and towage segments, partially offset by a decrease in our shuttle segment, as described below:
FPSO Segment
Revenues increased in our FPSO segment to $144 million, from $108 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to:
•an increase of $28 million due to oil price tariffs for the Petrojarl Knarr FPSO unit during the three months ended March 31, 2022;
•an increase of $24 million due to higher uptime and oil price incentive revenues for the Petrojarl I FPSO unit during the three months ended March 31, 2022; and
•an increase of $6 million due to various concept studies for clients;
partially offset by
•a decrease of $12 million due to lower activity on the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO, as the unit is no longer in production;
•a decrease of $7 million due to the Piranema Spirit FPSO unit completing its contract in April 2021; and
•a decrease of $3 million due to decommissioning work performed on the Voyageur Spirit FPSO unit during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Shuttle Tanker Segment
Revenues decreased in our shuttle tanker segment to $135 million, from $138 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to:
•a decrease of $8 million due to compensation for contractual dry-docking obligations not performed by the charterer upon redelivery of the Navion Gothenburg shuttle tanker in the first quarter of 2021;
•a decrease of $7 million due to the termination of the Petrojarl Foinaven CoA contact in May 2021; and
•a decrease of $2 million due to the redelivery to us of the Navion Stavanger shuttle tanker during 2021;
partially offset by
•an increase of $5 million due to the Amundsen Spirit shuttle tanker operating in the East Coast of Canada fleet during the three months ended March 31, 2022;
•an increase of $4 million due to higher rates during the first quarter of 2022 in the conventional tanker market in which our shuttle tankers occasionally operate;
•an increase of $3 million due to various vessels entering and leaving the fleet; and
•an increase of $3 million due to reimbursable bunker purchases during the first quarter of 2022 (offset in direct operating costs below).
Towage Segment
Revenues increased in our towage segment to $28 million, from $12 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to:
•an increase of $21 million due to higher average day rates and utilization in the towage fleet;
partially offset by
•a decrease of $5 million due to the internal tow of the Dampier Spirit FSO unit and internal towage services on the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit performed in the first quarter of 2021 (offset in the corporate segment/eliminations below).
Corporate Segment/Eliminations
Revenues decreased in our corporate segment to $nil, from $5 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to $5 million in eliminations related to the internal tow of the Dampier Spirit FSO and Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO units in the first quarter of 2021 (offset in the towage segment above).
Direct Operating Costs
Direct operating costs decreased to $159 million, from $162 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to decreased operating costs in our FPSO and FSO segments, partially offset by increased operating costs in our shuttle tanker, corporate and towage segments, as described below:
FPSO Segment
Direct operating costs decreased in our FPSO segment to $59 million, from $71 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to:
•a decrease of $9 million due to the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO unit no longer being in production;
•a decrease of $3 million due to the Piranema Spirit FPSO unit completing its contract in April 2021; and
•a decrease of $2 million due to internal towage services on the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO in the first quarter of 2021 (offset in corporate segment/eliminations below);
partially offset by
•an increase of $6 million due to various concept studies for clients.
Shuttle Tanker Segment
Direct operating costs increased in our shuttle tanker segment to $64 million, from $63 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to:
•an increase of $3 million due to reimbursable bunker purchases during the first quarter of 2022 (offset in revenue above);
•an increase of $2 million due to higher pool expenses and more operating days in the conventional tanker market (in which our shuttle tankers occasionally operate) during the first quarter of 2022; and
•an increase of $2 million due to various vessels entering and leaving the fleet;
partially offset by
•a decrease of $5 million due to the redelivery to us of the Navion Gothenburg shuttle tanker in the first quarter of 2021.
FSO Segment
Direct operating costs decreased in our FSO segment to $6 million, from $9 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to $3 million of internal towage costs on the Dampier Spirit FSO in the first quarter of 2021 (offset in corporate segment/eliminations below).
Towage Segment
Direct operating costs increased in our towage segment to $18 million, from $14 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to higher fuel prices and higher project costs, partially offset by lower bunker consumption during the first quarter of 2022.
Corporate Segment/Eliminations
Direct operating costs increased in our corporate segment to $11 million, from $4 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to $5 million in eliminations related to the internal tows of the Dampier Spirit FSO and Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO units in the first quarter of 2021 (offset in the FSO and FPSO segments, respectively) and $3 million in incentive programs during the first quarter of 2022.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased to $17 million, from $13 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to an increase in legal expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $72 million, from $77 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to decreases in our shuttle tanker and FSO segments, as described below:
Shuttle Tanker Segment
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased in our shuttle tanker segment to $41 million, from $43 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to same period last year, primarily due to a $7 million decrease due to vessels leaving and entering the fleet, partially offset by a $3 million increase during the first quarter of 2022 due to changes in accounting assumptions.
FSO Segment
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased in our FSO segment to $5 million, from $8 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to a change of accounting assumptions used for the Randgrid FSO unit during 2021.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $56 million, from $48 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to increased interest rates on our outstanding related party borrowings.
Equity-Accounted Income (Loss)
Equity-accounted income was $22 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $19 million for the same period last year. The increase in equity-accounted income was primarily due to a $4 million increase related to realized and unrealized gain on derivative instruments held within our equity-accounted investments for the three months ended March 31, 2022, mainly as a result of an increase in long-term LIBOR benchmark rates, partially offset by a reduction in revenue of our equity-accounted joint ventures.
Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments
Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments was $10 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $14 million for the same period last year and were comprised of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | 2022 | | 2021 |
| | | | | $ | | $ |

Interest rate swaps | | | | | (14,822) | | | (151,935) | |
Foreign currency forward contracts | | | | | (320) | | | 3,538 | |
| | | | | (15,142) | | | (148,397) | |
Unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments | | | | | | | |
Interest rate swaps | | | | | 24,710 | | | 165,568 | |
Foreign currency forward contracts | | | | | 663 | | | (3,311) | |
| | | | | 25,373 | | | 162,257 | |
Total realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments | | | | | 10,231 | | | 13,860 | |
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized realized losses of $12 million (three months ended March 31, 2021 - $146 million) on our interest rate swaps as a result of the termination or amendment of certain of our interest rate swaps. Realized losses on our interest rate swaps for the three months ended March 31, 2022, were otherwise consistent with the same period last year. We also recognized unrealized gains on interest rate swaps of $25 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to unrealized gains of $166 million during the same period last year. The changes between unrealized gains and losses between these periods was primarily due to the termination or amendment of certain of our interest rate swaps during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, as described above, as well as an increase in long-term LIBOR benchmark rates on a reduced notional balance during the first quarter of 2022.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we were committed to foreign currency forward contracts to hedge portions of our forecasted expenditures in Norwegian Krone (or NOK), which resulted in realized gains (losses) of $nil and $4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We also recognized unrealized gains (losses) on our foreign currency forward contracts of $1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $(3) million for the same period last year, mainly due to a favorable forward spread as at March 31, 2022, compared to an unfavorable spread as at March 31, 2021.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gain (Loss)
Foreign currency exchange gain (loss) was $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $nil for the same period last year. Our foreign currency exchange gain (loss) is due primarily to the relevant period-end revaluation of NOK-denominated monetary assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes. Gains on NOK-denominated net monetary liabilities reflect a stronger U.S. Dollar against the NOK on the date of revaluation or settlement compared to the rate in effect at the beginning of the period. Losses on NOK-denominated net monetary liabilities reflect a weaker U.S. Dollar against the NOK on the date of revaluation or settlement compared to the rate in effect at the beginning of the period.
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit
Income tax benefit was $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to an income tax expense of $1 million for the same period last year. The variance in income tax (expense) benefit was primarily due to the release of a provision related to Singapore taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $170 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $120 million for the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to the increases in revenue in our FPSO and towage segments, as described above. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure. Please refer to "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" below for definitions of this measure and for the reconciliations of this measure with the most directly comparable inancial measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
To supplement the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, we use Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-IFRS financial measure, as a measure of our performance. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income tax (expense) benefit, and depreciation and amortization, and is adjusted to exclude certain items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated in advance or that are not considered representative of our core operating performance. Such adjustments include impairment expenses, gain (loss) on dispositions, net, unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments, foreign currency exchange gain (loss) and certain other income or expenses. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes: realized gain or loss on interest rate swaps (as we, in assessing our performance, view these gains or losses as an element of interest expense); realized gain or loss on derivative instruments resulting from amendments or terminations of the underlying instruments; realized gain or loss on foreign currency forward contracts; and equity-accounted income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA also includes our proportionate share of Adjusted EBITDA from our equity-accounted investments and excludes the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of Adjusted EBITDA. We do not have control over the operations of, nor do we have any legal claim to the revenues and expenses of our equity-accounted investments. Consequently, the cash flow generated by our equity-accounted investments may not be available for use by us in the period that such cash flows are generated.
Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered as the sole measure of our performance or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition, this measure does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. This non-IFRS measure is used by our management, and we believe that this supplementary metric assists investors and other users of our financial reports in comparing our financial and operating performance across reporting periods and with other companies.
The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity and capital requirements are managed through cash flows from operations, use of credit facilities and refinancing existing borrowings. We aim to maintain sufficient financial liquidity to meet our ongoing operating requirements.
The following table presents our liquidity as at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2022 | | December 31, 2021 |
| $ | | $ |
Cash and cash equivalents | 171,305 | | | 190,942 | |
Total liquidity (1) | 171,305 | | | 190,942 | |
Working capital surplus (deficit) | (381,344) | | | (276,408) | |
(1)Defined as cash, cash equivalents and undrawn revolving credit facilities
The increase in the working capital deficit was primarily due to a $166 million increase in scheduled maturities and repayments of outstanding borrowings during the 12 months ending March 31, 2023, which were classified as current as at March 31, 2022, partially offset by a $59 million decrease in accounts payable and other.
Our primary short-term liquidity needs for the next twelve months are to pay existing committed capital expenditures, to make scheduled repayments of borrowings and related interest rate swaps, to pay debt service costs, to pay operating expenses and dry-docking expenditures, to fund general working capital requirements, to settle claims and potential claims against us and to manage our working capital deficit. Our long-term liquidity needs are to repay or refinance scheduled debt obligations and pursue additional growth projects. Based on upcoming capital requirements for our scheduled debt repayment obligations, we believe it is in the best interests of our common and preferred unitholders to conserve more of our internally generated cash flows to fund these projects and to reduce debt levels. As a result, we have suspended the payment of quarterly cash distributions on our preferred units. In addition, no distributions on our preferred units will be permitted without noteholder consent while certain 11.5% PIK notes issued to Brookfield remain outstanding. All distributions on the Preferred Units will continue to accrue and must be paid in full before distributions to common unitholders can be made.
As at March 31, 2022, our interest-bearing obligations include bonds, commercial bank debt, a senior secured PIK note provided by Brookfield, an unsecured PIK note provided by Brookfield, a secured revolving credit facility provided by Brookfield and obligations related to leases. The contractual payments relating to these obligations for the next twelve months are $619 million, and $3 billion thereafter. Refer to Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 10 - Borrowings, Note 11 - Related Party Transactions and Note 9 - Other Financial Liabilities for terms upon which future interest payments are determined.
As at March 31, 2022, our other financial liabilities include interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts. The contractual payments relating these obligations for the next twelve months are $36 million, and $nil thereafter. Refer to Item 1 – Financial statements: Note 9 - Other Financial Liabilities for a summary of the terms of our derivative instruments which economically hedge certain of our floating rate interest-bearing obligations.
As at March 31, 2022, our contractual obligation relating to lease liabilities consists of the undiscounted contractual maturities of our lease liabilities. The contractual payments relating to these obligations for the next twelve months are $12 million, and $11 million thereafter.
Our estimated dry dock expenditures for the next twelve months are $19 million, and $389 million thereafter.
Primarily as a result of the working capital deficit and committed capital expenditures, during the one-year period from March 31, 2022, we will need to obtain additional sources of financing, in addition to amounts generated from operations, to meet our obligations and commitments and the minimum liquidity requirements under our financial covenants in our credit facilities. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we completed various measures to improve our debt maturity profile and enhance our liquidity and financial flexibility. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, we entered into a $32 million revolving credit facility with Brookfield that matures in June 2022. See Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 10 - Borrowings, Note 11 - Related Party Transactions and Note 15 - Distributions for additional information.
Other potential sources of financing that we are actively pursuing, during the one-year period to March 31, 2023, include: entering into new debt facilities; borrowing additional amounts under existing facilities; the refinancing, extension or other amendments, including amendment of financial covenants, of certain borrowings and interest rate swaps; selling certain assets; seeking joint venture partners for our business interests; entering into sale-leaseback agreements; increasing equity; and other potential liability management transactions. Additional potential sources of amounts generated from operations include the extensions and redeployments of existing assets, higher utilization of the operating fleet, increased rates for vessels operating in the spot market, increased oil price-based tariffs from certain FPSOs and working capital optimizations.
Based on our liquidity at the date of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the liquidity we expect to generate from operations over the following year, and by incorporating our plans to raise additional liquidity that we consider probable of completion, we expect that we will have sufficient liquidity to meet our existing liquidity needs for at least the one-year period to March 31, 2023. However, there can be no assurance that our liquidity from operations will meet our expectations, which could be negatively affected by items outside of our control, including macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, or that our effort to raise liquidity will be successful. Refer to Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 2b - Going Concern for additional information.
As at March 31, 2022, we had total borrowings outstanding of $2,484 million compared to $2,496 million as at December 31, 2021 and as at March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants relating to our consolidated borrowings. Our borrowings consist of the following:

Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for the periods presented: | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(in thousands of U.S. Dollars) | Three months ended March 31, | | |
2022 | | 2021 | | |
Net operating cash flow | 58,828 | | | (28,965) | | | |
Net financing cash flow | 16,896 | | | 105,356 | | | |
Net investing cash flow | (96,189) | | | (115,287) | | | |
Operating Cash Flows
Net cash flow from operating activities increased to a cash inflow of $59 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to an outflow of $29 million for the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease to $25 million in unrealized losses on interest rate swaps during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $162 million during the same period last year, which was a result of the termination or partial termination of certain interest rate swaps and an increase in long-term LIBOR benchmark rates on a reduced notional balance during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and a $47 million increase in our net income for the period. This was partially offset by changes in non-cash working capital items which provided for a shortfall of $50 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to a contribution of $39 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in non-cash working capital items for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period last year is primarily due to the timing of payments received from customers and made to vendors.
Net cash flow from operating activities also increased for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period last year, due to an increase in revenues and a decrease in direct operating costs. Refer to "Results of Operations" above.
Financing Cash Flows
We use our revolving credit facilities to finance capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes. Occasionally, we will do this until longer-term financing is obtained, at which time we typically use all or a portion of the proceeds from the longer-term financings to prepay outstanding amounts under the revolving credit facilities. Our proceeds from borrowings, net of financing costs, were $63 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and $74 million for the same period last year.
We actively manage the maturity profile of our outstanding financing arrangements. Our scheduled repayments of our borrowings were $75 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $99 million for the same period last year. The decrease in repayments is mainly due to the reduced amount of borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2022, compared to March 31, 2021.
Our proceeds from borrowings, net of financing costs and scheduled repayments, related to the sale and leaseback of vessels, were $(3) million and $69 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The gross proceeds received during the three months ended March 31, 2021 were used to fund installment payments on certain of the shuttle tanker newbuildings.
During the three month ended March 31, 2022, we entered into one unsecured credit facility with Brookfield which provided for total borrowings of up to $32 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we drew down $32 million related to this facility. As at March 31, 2021, we had three unsecured revolving credit facilities with Brookfield which provided for total borrowings of up to $325 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we drew down $75 million related to these credit facilities.
Lease payments on our vessel in-charter leases and office leases were $3 million and $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Cash distributions paid to our preferred unitholders were $nil for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and $8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Refer to Item 1 - Financial Statements: Note 15 - Distributions for additional information.
Investing Cash Flows
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash flow used for investing activities was $96 million, primarily related to $75 million for additions to vessels and equipment, including installment payments for the delivery of one shuttle tanker newbuilding, and a $20 million decrease in restricted cash due to cash sweep requirements under a previously amended third-party loan agreement.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash flow used for investing activities was $115 million, primarily relating to $156 million for additions to vessels and equipment, including installment payments for the delivery of two shuttle tanker newbuildings, partially offset by a $42 million decrease in restricted cash, primarily related to a $74 million reduction to amounts held in escrow for the final installment payment for one of the above mentioned shuttle tanker newbuildings, partially offset by cash sweep requirements under a previously amended loan agreement.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires us to make critical judgments, estimates and assumptions in the application of our accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources, during the reporting period. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Our management reviews our accounting policies, critical judgments, estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates and such differences could be material. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
For further information on our material accounting policies, critical accounting judgments and estimates see Part I, Item 18 - Financial Statements: Note 2v. - Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty and Part I, Item 5B. Liquidity and Capital Resources - Critical Accounting Estimates in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021.
