Having released phenomenal 1Q05 earnings, announced a massive $225 million stock buyback, held a swinging bank meeting in Vegas and closed a dirt cheap credit facility, Teekay is now ready to hit the road to sell a 20% interest in Teekay LNG Partners LP next week. With this confluence of events, there is little doubt that TK will be a strong performing investment. In an amended filing submitted yesterday, TK filled in a critical blank – the price range – which is $20-$22. Looking at projected EBITDA of about $100 million in 2005, the new deal will be priced at about 12x cash flow assuming middle-range pricing. There are about six shipping deals set to IPO in the coming weeks and having a blue chip deal like this kick off, even though it is an MLP and the others aren’t, will set a good tone. Here’s the line-up for the Teekay LNG deal: Citigroup; UBS Investment Bank; A.G. Edwards; Raymond James; Jefferies & Company, Inc.; Wachovia Securities and Deutsche Bank Securities.
