Comments from Management:

Bing Chen, President and CEO of Atlas, commented, "Atlas delivered another strong annual financial and operating performance in 2022. Despite the challenges in the past year, the Seaspan team successfully executed on its newbuild program by delivering nine vessels, 115,400 TEU total, all ahead of schedule and each commencing their scheduled long-term charters. Through consistent operational excellence, we have delivered over 120 newbuilds since our IPO in 2005, and execution of the remainder of the program remains on track thanks to our experienced teams and integrated platform. We continued to strengthen our customer partnerships with global liners by forward fixing charters for 35 vessels in 2022, leveraging our creative customer solutions and differentiated business model."

"Despite the industry and pandemic challenges, APR Energy continued to pivot to long-term predictable cash flow opportunities. In 2022, the company extended two existing contracts to greater than three years in length, and renewed numerous contracts with existing customers. APR also successfully exported all turbines from Argentina and divested all remaining interests. APR remains disciplined to expand its services into new geographies and further its growth strategy of providing longer-term energy turnkey solutions."

"With our customers' trusted partnerships, our dedicated team and differentiated business model, we are well positioned to drive quality growth that consistently delivers value throughout market cycles."

Graham Talbot, CFO of Atlas, commented, "Our fourth quarter and 2022 results demonstrate our team's consistent high performance and the resilience of our fully integrated platform that delivers in all market conditions. In 2022 we focused on executing our fully financed newbuild program, continued to optimize our capital structure and fleet, improved our hedging position amidst an unpredictable inflationary environment, and received recognition of our credit improvements through new, reaffirmed, and upgraded credit ratings for Seaspan and Atlas."

"Our long-term model and diligent focus on asset quality is evidenced through 10 strategic vessel divestments in 2022, generating an additional $257.1 million in cashflow to optimize our balance sheet and allocate capital to future growth and to further optimize our fleet. This resulted in an expected revenue impact of $50.0 million for 2022. In October, we upgraded a $1.1 billion bank loan into a $1.5 billion ECA-backed JOLCO facility on improved terms, and in January 2023 we received a strong vote of confidence from our strategic shareholder Fairfax who exercised their remaining warrants to purchase six million common shares of Atlas."

"As we begin 2023 with a significant liquidity position of $980.0 million, a gross contracted cash flow balance of $18.2 billion, and all capex fully funded through attractively priced long-term financings, we remain well positioned to pursue attractive opportunities across our Maritime and Energy platforms and reinforce our industry leading positions."

Containership Leasing Developments

In the fourth quarter, Seaspan accepted delivery of its fifth and sixth 11,800 TEU newbuild vessels and first 15,000 TEU newbuild vessel. Each of these vessels commenced a 5-year charter upon delivery.

In December 2022, Seaspan entered an agreement to sell a 4,250 TEU vessel for gross proceeds of $21.6 million, subject to closing conditions. The sale was completed in January 2023, and Seaspan continues to manage this vessel pursuant to a management agreement entered into in connection with the sale.

Mobile Power Generation Developments

In December 2022, APR Energy divested its diesel power generation business in Argentina through the sale of all of the shares in APR Energy SrL to Enerinv SrL and Enerarge SrL.  As of the closing, APR Energy has no additional interests in Argentina and all turbines have been exported.

In January 2023, APR Energy renewed its contract with Imperial Irrigation District for a three year term commencing January 1, 2023 through to December 31, 2025.

In February 2023, APR Energy successfully completed its 12 month contract with a US counterparty to rent five turbines representing 120 MW.

Financing Developments

In October 2022, Seaspan completed its planned upgrade of a previously signed $1.1 billion bank loan financing into a $1.5 billion ECA-Backed JOLCO financing (the "Financing Upgrade"). Proceeds remain intended to finance Seaspan's package of 15 7,000 TEU newbuild vessels. This marks Seaspan's third ECA-JOLCO transaction. The Financing Upgrade increases the proceeds raised and significantly lowers the cost of capital through partnership with Sinosure, a Chinese ECA, and a tranche of fixed-rate capital from Japanese investors. The financing carries a 12-year tenor.

On January 13, 2023, Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited ("Fairfax") exercised the remainder of their warrants to purchase six million common shares of Atlas. The warrants, of which five million were issued in April 2021 and one million in June 2021, had exercise prices of $13.00 and $13.71 per common share, respectively, for gross aggregate proceeds of $78.7 million. Immediately following this exercise, Fairfax and its affiliates held in aggregate 130.8 million common shares, representing 45.5% of the then issued and outstanding common shares of Atlas.

Poseidon Acquisition of Atlas

On August 4, 2022, Atlas' Board of Directors received a non-binding proposal letter from Poseidon Acquisition Corp. ("Poseidon"), an entity formed by certain affiliates of Fairfax, certain affiliates of the Washington Family ("Washington"), David Sokol, Chairman of the Board of Atlas, and Ocean Network Express Pte. Ltd., and certain of their respective affiliates, to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Atlas, other than common shares owned by Fairfax, Washington, Mr. Sokol and certain executive officers of the Company, for $14.45 cash per common share. The Board of Directors established a Special Committee consisting of independent directors to consider and negotiate the proposal.

On November 1, 2022,  Atlas announced that, following the recommendation of the Special Committee and unanimous approval of the Board of Directors, Atlas had entered into a merger agreement with Poseidon pursuant to which Poseidon will acquire Atlas for cash consideration of $15.50 per common share. The transaction, which is subject to approval of holders of a majority of the common shares not owned by affiliates of Poseidon, regulatory approvals and receipt of consents, is expected to close in the first half of 2023.

On January 20, 2023, Atlas announced that it will hold its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on February 24, 2023 (the "Annual Meeting").  At the Annual Meeting, Atlas common shareholders will be asked to, among other matters, consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt and approve the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") among Atlas, Poseidon and Poseidon Merger Sub, Inc., and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.  The completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement remains subject to closing conditions described in Atlas' Proxy Statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on January 9, 2023, including receipt of common shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting.

The Annual Meeting will be held virtually at 2:00 p.m., London Time at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ATCO2023, and all common shareholders of record as of the close of business on January 9, 2023 will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.   A copy of the Proxy Statement is being mailed to all Atlas shareholders of record as of the close of business on January 9, 2023 and common shareholders may vote by mailing their proxy cards or by submitting their proxy online or by telephone. The Proxy Statement has been posted to the Company's website, atlascorporation.com, and can also be accessed on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Financial Results Summary:

Revenue increase of 1.9% to $436.4 million and 3.1% to $1,697.4 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021. The increase in revenue is primarily related to the Mobile Power Generation segment due to higher asset utilization. Revenue from the Containership Leasing segment decreased 1.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 due to lower revenue due to the sale of 11 vessels since the fourth quarter of 2021 and lower rates, partially offset by the impact of nine vessel deliveries in the year. Revenue from the Containership Leasing segment increased 5.7% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 largely driven by delivery of newbuild vessels in the current year and a full year impact of deliveries from 2021, offset by vessel sales during the year. The increase in the Containership Leasing segment was offset by decreased revenue in the Mobile Power Generation segment from lower asset utilization.

Adjusted EBITDA increase of 1.5% to $287.7 million and 1.7% to $1,135.4 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. The increases in adjusted EBITDA were due to higher revenue, decrease in operating lease expense offset by a lower recovery relating to an indemnity claim under acquisition agreement.  The decrease in operating lease expense relates to the lease reclassification from operating to financing as a result of pre-existing purchase options being exercised in January 2022 through August 2022.  For the year ended December 31, 2022, the increase in Adjusted EBITDA was partially offset by an increase in general corporate expenses including non-cash share-based compensation and professional fees incurred by the special committee to evaluate the take-private proposal from Poseidon.

FFO Per Share decrease of 1.4% to $0.71 and 4.7% to $2.84 for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. Total funds from operations were higher due to increased revenue for the year and lower income tax expense offset by higher general and administrative expenses for the year and a smaller recovery recognized in the comparative 2021 period related to an indemnity claim made by Atlas relating to its acquisition of APR Energy.  The decrease in FFO per share was primarily driven by an increase in diluted share count from the issuance of 25 million shares from the exercise of warrants in April 2022 and the impact of the maximum dilutive effect of the exchangeable notes based on the if-converted method.

Diluted EPS decrease of 20.8% to $0.38 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by an increase in interest expense due to higher interest rates and increased operating debt from vessel deliveries partially offset by lower income tax expense. Diluted EPS increased to $1.96 from $1.26 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to non-cash items which included a $120.6 million gain on derivative instruments in 2022 and a $127.0 million loss on debt extinguishment in 2021.

Adjusted Diluted EPS decrease of 9.5% to $0.38 and 10.1% to $1.51 for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, respectively, compared to same periods in 2021. The decrease in adjusted diluted EPS was primarily due to the increase in diluted share count.

Liquidity

As of December 31, 2022, Atlas had total liquidity of $980.0 million, consisting of $280.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $700.0 million of availability under undrawn committed credit facilities. As of December 31, 2022, we also had $6.1 billion of undrawn committed financing related to our newbuild vessels and an unencumbered asset base including 38 vessels with a book value of $1.8 billion.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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