Net Investments in Direct Financing Leases

As at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Partnership had three LNG carriers, excluding the vessels in its equity-accounted joint ventures, that are accounted for as direct financing leases. For a description of the Partnership's LNG carriers accounted for as direct financing leases, see Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 6 to the Partnership's audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020.

In January 2020, Awilco purchased two LNG carriers classified as sales-type leases, the WilForce and the WilPride, from the Partnership and paid the Partnership the associated purchase obligation amounts, deferred hire amounts and interest on deferred hire amounts, totaling $260.4 million relating to these two vessels.

As at June 30, 2021, estimated lease payments to be received by the Partnership related to its direct financing leases in each of the next five years were approximately $32.3 million (remainder of 2021), $64.2 million (2022), $64.0 million (2023), $64.3 million (2024), $64.2 million (2025) and an aggregate of $446.5 million thereafter. Two leases are expected to end in 2028 and the remaining lease is scheduled to end in 2039.

Operating Leases

As at June 30, 2021, the minimum scheduled future rentals to be received by the Partnership 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 $229.1 million (remainder of 2021), $373.0 million (2022), $309.9 million (2023), $252.9 million (2024), and $197.4 million (2025). Minimum scheduled future rentals on operating lease contracts do not include rentals from vessels in the Partnership’s equity-accounted joint ventures, rentals from unexercised option periods of contracts that existed on June 30, 2021, variable or contingent rentals, or rentals from contracts which were entered into or commenced after June 30, 2021. 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 June 30, 2021, the Partnership had $14.0 million of advanced payments recognized as contract liabilities included in unearned revenue (December 31, 2020 – $26.5 million, June 30, 2020 – $26.4 million and December 31, 2019 – $24.9 million). The Partnership recognized $19.9 million and $22.0 million of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, that was recognized as a contract liability at the beginning of such three-month periods. The Partnership recognized $26.5 million and $24.9 million of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, that was recognized as a contract liability at the beginning of such six-month periods.
