2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) which includes the accounts of GS&T and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and operating results have been included in the statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018~~2019 (the ~~“2018~~“2019 10-K”). The results of operations for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include vessel valuations, the valuation of amounts due from charterers, ~~performance claims,~~ residual value of vessels, useful life of vessels and the fair value of derivative instruments, if any. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents

Segment reporting

The Company reports financial information and evaluates its operations by voyage revenues and not by the length of ship employment for its customers, i.e., spot or time charters. Each of the Company’s vessels serve the same type of customer, have similar operations and maintenance requirements, operate in the same regulatory environment,

~~Table of Contents~~

and are subject to similar economic characteristics. Based on this, the Company has determined that it operates in one reportable segment, the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels.

Vessels held for sale

The Company’s Board of Directors has approved a strategy of divesting specifically identified older, less fuel-efficient vessels as part of a fleet renewal program to streamline and modernize the Company’s fleet.

On ~~August~~March 2,~~, 2019, September~~ 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Baltic Wind and on March 20, ~~2019 and September 25, 2019~~2020, the Company entered into agreements to sell the Baltic Breeze and Genco ~~Challenger,~~Bay. The relevant vessel assets have been classified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2020. The Baltic Wind, Baltic Breeze and Genco Bay are expected to be sold during the second and third quarters of 2020. Refer to Note 4 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions for details of the agreements.

On September 25, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Genco ~~Champion and the Genco~~ Thunder, ~~respectively,~~ and the relevant vessel assets have been classified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance ~~Sheet~~Sheets as of ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2019. This vessel was sold on March 5, 2020. Refer to Note 4 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions for details of the agreement.

~~On November~~ 23, 2018, the Company reached an agreement to sell the Genco Vigour, and the relevant vessel assets have been classified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018. This vessel was sold on January 28, 2019. Refer to Note 4 — ~~Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions for further information.~~

Vessels, net

Vessels, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Included in vessel costs are acquisition costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel and expenditures made to prepare the vessel for its initial voyage, including the purchase of exhaust gas cleaning systems (“scrubbers”) and ballast water treatment systems. The Company also capitalizes interest costs for a vessel under construction as a cost that is directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel. Vessels are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, determined to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Depreciation expense for vessels for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $15,833 and ~~2018 was $16,649 and $16,013,~~$16,488, respectively. ~~Depreciation expense for vessels for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $49,834 and $46,933, respectively.~~

Depreciation expense is calculated based on cost less the estimated residual scrap value. The costs of significant replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the vessel’s remaining

Table of Contents

estimated useful life or the estimated life of the renewal or betterment. Undepreciated cost of any asset component being replaced that was acquired after the initial vessel purchase is written off as a component of vessel operating expense. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Scrap value is estimated by the Company by taking the estimated scrap value of $310 per lightweight ton (“lwt”) times the weight of the ship noted in lwt.

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue primarily relates to cash received from charterers prior to it being earned. These amounts are recognized as income when earned. Additionally, deferred revenue includes estimated customer claims, mainly due to

~~Table of Contents~~

time charter performance issues. As of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the Company had an accrual of ~~$511~~$303 and ~~$345,~~$577, respectively, related to these estimated customer claims.

Revenue recognition

Since the Company’s inception, revenues have been generated from time charter agreements, spot market voyage charters, pool agreements and spot market-related time charters. Voyage revenues also include the sale of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.

Time charters

A time charter involves placing a vessel at the charterer’s disposal for a set period of time during which the charterer may use the vessel in return for the payment by the charterer of a specified daily hire rate, including any ballast bonus payments received pursuant to the time charter agreement. Spot market-related time charters are the same as other time charter agreements, except the time charter rates are variable and are based on a percentage of the average daily rates as published by the Baltic Dry Index (“BDI”). ~~Voyage revenues also include the sale of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.~~

The Company records time charter revenues, including spot market-related time charters, over the term of the charter as service is provided. Revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis as the average revenue over the term of the respective time charter ~~agreement.~~agreement for which the performance obligations are satisfied beginning when the vessel is delivered to the charterer until it is redelivered back to the Company. The Company records spot market-related time charter revenues over the term of the charter as service is provided based on the rate determined based on the BDI for each respective billing period. As such, the revenue earned by the Company’s vessels that are on spot market-related time charters is subject to fluctuations of the spot market. Time charter contracts, including spot market-related time charters, are considered operating leases and therefore do not fall under the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) because (i) the vessel is an identifiable asset; (ii) the Company does not have substantive substitution rights; and (iii) the charterer has the right to control the use of the vessel during the term of the contract and derives economic benefit from such use.

The Company has identified that time charter agreements, including fixed rate time charters and spot market-related time charters, contain a lease in accordance with ~~Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)~~ASC 842 — Leases, refer to Note 12 — Voyage ~~Revenue~~Revenues for further discussion.

Spot market voyage charters

In a spot market voyage charter contract, the charterer hires the vessel to transport a specific agreed-upon cargo for a single voyage, which may contain multiple load ports and discharge ports. The consideration in such a contract is determined on the basis of a freight rate per metric ton of cargo carried or occasionally on a lump sum basis. The charter party generally has a minimum amount of cargo. The charterer is liable for any short loading of cargo or "dead" freight. The contract generally has a "demurrage" or "despatch" clause. As per this clause, the charterer reimburses the Company ~~recognizes~~for any potential delays exceeding the allowed laytime as per the charter party clause at the ports visited which is recorded as demurrage revenue. Conversely, the charterer is given credit if the loading/discharging activities happen within the allowed laytime known as despatch resulting in a reduction in revenue. The voyage contracts generally have variable consideration in the form of demurrage or despatch. The amount of revenue earned as demurrage or despatch

Table of Contents

paid by the Company is not a material component of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Pursuant to the revenue recognition guidance as disclosed in Note 12 — Voyage Revenues, revenue for spot market voyage charters is recognized ratably over the total transit time of each voyage, which commences at the time the vessel arrives at the loading port and ends at the time the discharge of cargo is completed at the discharge ~~port, in accordance with ASC 606~~ — ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Refer to Note 12~~ ~~— Voyage Revenue for further discussion.~~port.

Vessel Pools

At ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the Company did not have any of its vessels in vessel pools. Under pool arrangements, the vessels operate under a time charter agreement whereby the cost of bunkers and port expenses are borne by the pool and operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel. Since the members of the pool share in the revenue less voyage expenses generated by the entire group of vessels in the pool, and the pool operates in the spot market, the revenue earned by these vessels is subject to the fluctuations of the spot market. The Company recognizes revenue from these pool arrangements based on its portion of the net distributions reported by the relevant pool, which represents the net voyage revenue of the pool after voyage expenses and pool manager fees.

Voyage expense recognition

In time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements, operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer. These expenses are borne by the Company during spot market voyage charters. As such, there are significantly higher voyage expenses for spot market voyage charters as compared to time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements. Refer to Note 12 — Voyage ~~Revenue~~Revenues for further discussion of the accounting for fuel expenses for spot market voyage charters. There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses, such as commissions, which are typically borne by the Company. At the inception of a time charter, the Company records the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a gain or loss within voyage expenses. Additionally, the Company records lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments to re-value the bunker fuel on a quarterly basis for certain time charter agreements where the inventory is subject to gains and losses. These differences in bunkers, including any lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments, resulted in a net ~~(loss) gain~~loss of ~~($497)~~$841 and ~~$1,020~~$350 during the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018, respectively, and ($734) and $2,909 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018,~~ respectively.

~~Table of Contents~~

Additionally, voyage expenses include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.

Charter hire expenses

~~During the second quarter of 2018, the Company began chartering-in third-party vessels.~~ The costs to charter-in these vessels, which primarily include the daily charter hire rate net of commissions or net freight revenue, are recorded as Charter hire expenses. The ~~company~~Company recorded ~~$5,475~~$3,075 and ~~$723~~$2,419 of charter hire expenses during the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018, respectively, and $12,743 and $1,231 of charter hire expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018,~~ respectively.

Impairment of vessel assets

During the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ the Company recorded ~~$12,182~~$112,814 and $0, respectively, related to the impairment of vessel assets in accordance with ASC 360 — “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”). ~~Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded $26,078 and $56,586,~~ ~~respectively, related to the impairment of vessel assets in accordance with ASC 360.~~

Recent accounting pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework: Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-03”),” which change the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, adding, and modifying certain disclosures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within that year. Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-03 and has determined that there is no effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In ~~February~~June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. ~~2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASC 842”~~2016-13, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses" ("ASU 2016-13")~~, which replaces~~. ASU 2016-13 amends the ~~existing guidance in ASC 840 – Leases (“ASC 840”). This~~current financial instrument impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. ASU requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee would account for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Both finance leases and operating leases will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability for leases with lease terms of more than twelve months. For finance leases, the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset and for operating leases, the lessee would recognize a straight-line total lease expense. Accounting by lessors will remain largely unchanged from current U.S. GAAP. The requirements of this standard include an increase in required disclosures. This ASU2016-13 was effective ~~for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,~~on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 during the first quarter of 2020 and ~~for interim periods within those fiscal years.

In ~~July 2018,~~March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. ~~2018-11, “Leases~~2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic ~~842)~~848): Targeted Improvements” which provided clarifications and improvements to ASC 842, including allowing entities to elect an additional transition method with which to adopt ASC 842.

5 - NET ~~(LOSS) EARNINGS~~LOSS PER SHARE

The computation of basic net ~~(loss) earnings~~loss per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The computation of diluted net ~~(loss) earnings~~loss per share assumes the vesting of nonvested stock awards and the exercise of stock options (refer to Note 15 — Stock-Based Compensation), for which the assumed proceeds upon vesting are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost attributable to future services and are not yet recognized using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive. There were ~~258,084~~288,185 restricted stock units and ~~496,148~~837,338 stock options excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 because they were anti-dilutive. There were ~~no anti-dilutive stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings per share during the three months ended September 30, 2018.There were 253,438 shares of restricted stock and~~242,722 restricted stock units and ~~255,608~~496,418 stock options excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 because they were anti-dilutive (refer to Note 15 — Stock-Based Compensation).

The Company’s diluted net ~~(loss) earnings~~loss per share will also reflect the assumed conversion of the equity warrants issued when the Company emerged from bankruptcy on July 9, 2014 (the “Effective Date”) and MIP Warrants issued by the Company (refer to Note 15 — Stock-Based Compensation) if the impact is dilutive under the treasury stock method. The equity warrants have a 7-year term that commenced on the day following the Effective Date and are exercisable for one tenth of a share of the Company’s common stock. There were no unvested MIP Warrants and 3,936,761 equity warrants excluded from the computation of diluted net ~~(loss) earnings~~loss per share during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019 ~~and 2018~~ because they were anti-dilutive.

$495 Million Credit Facility

On May 31, 2018, the Company entered into a five-year senior secured credit facility for an aggregate amount of up to $460,000 with Nordea Bank AB (publ), New York Branch (“Nordea”), as Administrative Agent and Security Agenty, the various lenders party thereto, and Nordea, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ), ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC, DVB Bank SE, Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank, and Danish Ship Finance A/S as Bookrunners and Mandated Lead Arrangers. Deutsche Bank AG Filiale ~~Deutschlandgesch~~äDeutschlandgeschäft, and CTBC Bank Co. Ltd. are Co-Arrangers under this credit facility. On June 5, 2018, proceeds of $460,000 under this facility were used, together with cash on hand, to refinance all of the Company’s existing credit facilities (the $400 Million Credit Facility, $98 Million Credit Facility and 2014 Term Loan Facilities, as defined below) into one facility, and pay down the debt on seven of the Company’s oldest vessels, which have been identified for sale.

On February 28, 2019, the Company entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement (the “Amendment”) for this credit facility (the “$495 Million Credit Facility”) with Nordea Bank AB (publ), New York Branch (“Nordea”), as Administrative Agent and Security Agent, the various lenders party thereto, and Nordea, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ), ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC, DVB Bank SE, Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank, and Danish Ship Finance A/S as Bookrunners and Mandated Lead Arrangers. The Amendment provides for an additional tranche up to $35,000 to finance a portion of the acquisitions, installations, and related costs for scrubbers for 17 of the Company’s Capesize vessels. On August 28, 2019, ~~and~~ September 23, 2019 and March 12, 2020, the Company made total drawdowns of $9,300, $12,200 and ~~$12,200,~~$11,250, respectively, under the $35 Million tranche of the $495 Million Credit Facility.

On November 15, 2019, the Company utilized $6,880 of the proceeds from the sale of the Genco Challenger and Genco Champion, which were sold during the fourth quarter of 2019, as a loan prepayment under the $495 Million Credit Facility. Additionally, on April 15, 2019, the Company utilized $4,947 of the proceeds from the sale of the Genco Cavalier ~~that was classified as restricted cash as of December 31, 2018~~ as a loan prepayment under the $495 Million Credit Facility. Under the terms of the $495 Million Credit Facility, the amount received from the proceeds of the sale of a collateralized vessel can be used towards the financing of a replacement vessel or vessels meeting certain requirements and added as collateral under the facility. However, since a replacement vessel was not added as collateral within the 180 day period stipulated in the $495 Million Credit Facility, the Company was required to utilize the proceeds as a loan prepayment.

~~On May~~ 10, 2019 and July 5, 2019, the Company prepaid $15,000 for the amortization payment originally scheduled for June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively. As the prepayment amounts exceeded the revised scheduled quarterly amortization payment of $14,864 (as explained below), the excess payment was applied to the next scheduled quarterly amortization payment due as per the repayment schedule.

As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, there was ~~$13,128 of~~no availability under the $495 Million Credit Facility. Total debt repayments of ~~$15,000~~$16,660 and ~~$49,575~~$15,000 were made during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019 under the $495 Million Credit Facility, respectively. There were no debt repayments made under the $495 Million Credit Facility during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the total outstanding net debt balance was $404,424 and $430,577, respectively.

Original scheduled amortization payments were $15,000 per quarter commencing on December 31, 2018, with a final payment of $190,000 due on the maturity date. As a result of the ~~$4,947~~ loan ~~prepayment on April 15, 2019~~prepayments for the vessel sales as ~~described~~noted above, scheduled amortization payments were recalculated in accordance with the terms of the facility.

On November 15, 2016, the proceeds under the $400 Million Credit Facility were used to refinance six of the Company’s prior credit facilities. The $400 Million Credit Facility was collateralized by 45 of the Company’s vessels and at December 31, 2016, required the Company to sell five remaining unencumbered vessels, which were sold during the year ended December 31, 2017. On November 14, 2016, the Company borrowed the maximum available amount of $400,000.

The $400 Million Credit Facility had a maturity date of November 15, 2021, and the principal borrowed under the facility bore interest at the LIBOR for an interest period of three months plus a margin of 3.75%. The Company had the option to pay 1.50% of such rate in-kind (“PIK interest”) through December 31, 2018, of which was payable on the maturity date of the facility.

interest. Pursuant to the credit facility agreement, upon the payment of any excess cash flow to the lenders (see below), the scheduled repayments were adjusted to reflect the reduction of future amortization amounts.

There was no collateral maintenance testing for the $400 Million Credit Facility prior to June 30, 2018. Thereafter, there was to be required collateral maintenance testing with a gradually increasing threshold calculated as the value of the collateral under the facility as a percentage of the loan outstanding as follows: 105% from June 30, 2018 to December 30, 2018, 115% from December 31, 2018 to December 30, 2020 and 135% thereafter.

The $400 Million Credit Facility required the Company to comply with a number of covenants substantially similar to those in the Company’s other credit facilities, including financial covenants related to debt to total book capitalization, minimum working capital, minimum liquidity, and dividends; collateral maintenance requirements (as described above); and other customary covenants. The Company was required to maintain a ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization of not greater than 0.70 to 1.00 at all times. Minimum working capital as defined in the $400 Million Credit Facility was not to be less than $0 at all times. The $400 Million Credit Facility had minimum liquidity requirements at all times for all vessels in its fleet of (i) $250 per vessel to and including December 31, 2018, (ii) $400 per vessel from January 1, 2019 to and including December 31, 2019 and (iii) $700 per vessel from January 1, 2020 and thereafter.

The Company was able establish non-recourse subsidiaries to incur indebtedness or make investments, but it was restricted from incurring indebtedness or making investments (other than through non-recourse subsidiaries). Excess cash from the collateralized vessels under the $400 Million Credit Facility was subject to a cash sweep. The cash flow sweep was 100% of excess cash flow through December 31, 2018, 75% through December 31, 2020 and the lesser of 50% of excess cash flow or an amount that would reflect a 15-year average vessel age repayment profile thereafter; provided no prepayment under the cash sweep was required from the first $10,000 in aggregate of the prepayments otherwise required under the cash sweep. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company repaid $0 and $15,428, respectively, for the excess cash flow sweep.

There were no debt repayments made during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 under the $400 Million Credit Facility. There were no debt repayments made during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and $404,941 (both which include $5,341 of PIK interest) of debt repayments made during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 under the $400 Million Credit Facility.

~~$98 Million Credit Facility~~

On November 4, 2015, thirteen of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a Facility Agreement, by and among such subsidiaries as borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”); Genco Holdings Limited, a direct subsidiary of Genco of which the Borrowers are direct subsidiaries (“Holdco”); certain funds managed or advised by Hayfin Capital Management, Breakwater Capital Ltd, or their nominee, as lenders; and Hayfin Services LLP, as agent and security agent (the “$98 Million Credit Facility”). ~~The Borrowers borrowed the maximum available amount of $98,271 under the facility on November 10, 2015.~~

Borrowings under the facility were available for working capital purposes. The facility had a final maturity date of September 30, 2020, and the principal borrowed under the facility bore interest at LIBOR for an interest period of three months plus a margin of 6.125% per annum. The facility had no fixed amortization payments for the first two years and fixed amortization payments of $2,500 per quarter thereafter. To the extent the value of the collateral under the facility was 182% or less of the loan amount outstanding, the Borrowers were to prepay the loan from earnings received from operation of the thirteen collateral vessels after deduction of the following amounts: costs, fees, expenses, interest, and fixed principal repayments under the facility; operating expenses relating to the thirteen vessels; and the Borrowers’ pro rata share of general and administrative expenses based on the number of vessels they owned.

The Facility Agreement required the Borrowers and, in certain cases, the Company and Holdco to comply with a number of covenants substantially similar to those in the other credit facilities of Genco and its subsidiaries, including

~~Table of Contents~~

financial covenants related to maximum leverage, minimum consolidated net worth, minimum liquidity, and dividends; collateral maintenance requirements; and other customary covenants. The Company was prohibited from paying dividends under this facility until December 31, 2018. Following December 31, 2018, the amount of dividends the Company could pay was limited based on the amount of the repayment of at least $25,000 of the loan under such facility, as well as the ratio of the value of vessels and certain other collateral pledged under such facility. The Facility Agreement included usual and customary events of default and remedies for facilities of this nature.

Borrowings under the facility were secured by first priority mortgage on the vessels owned by the Borrowers, namely the Genco Constantine, the Genco Augustus, the Genco London, the Genco Titus, the Genco Tiberius, the Genco Hadrian, the Genco Knight, the Genco Beauty, the Genco Vigour, the Genco Predator, the Genco Cavalier, the Genco Champion, and the Genco Charger, and related collateral. Pursuant to the Facility Agreement and a separate Guarantee executed by the Company, the Company and Holdco were acting as guarantors of the obligations of the Borrowers and each other under the Facility Agreement and its related documentation.

On November 15, 2016, the Company entered into an Amending and Restating Agreement, which amended and restated the credit agreements and the guarantee for the $98 Million Credit Facility (the “Restated $98 Million Credit Facility”). The Restated $98 Million Credit Facility provided for the following: reductions in the minimum liquidity requirements consistent with the $400 Million Credit Facility, except the minimum liquidity amount for the collateral vessels under this facility was $750 per vessel, which was reflected as restricted cash; netting of certain amounts against the measurements of the collateral maintenance covenant, which remained in place with a 140% value to loan threshold; a portion of amounts required to be maintained under the minimum liquidity covenant for this facility may, under certain circumstances, have been used to prepay the facility to maintain compliance with the collateral maintenance covenant; elimination of the original maximum leverage ratio and minimum net worth covenants; and restrictions on incurring indebtedness, making investments (other than through non-recourse subsidiaries) or paying dividends, similar to those provided for in the $400 Million Credit Facility. The minimum working capital and the total indebtedness to total capitalization were the same as the $400 Million Credit Facility.

There were no debt repayments made during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 under the $98 Million Credit Facility. There were no debt repayments made during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and $93,939 of debt repayments made during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 under the $98 Million Credit Facility.

~~On June 5, 2018, the $98 Million Credit Facility was refinanced with the $495 Million Credit Facility; refer to the “$495 Million Credit Facility” section above.~~

~~2014 Term Loan Facilities~~

On October 8, 2014, Baltic Trading and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Baltic Hornet Limited and Baltic Wasp Limited, each entered into a loan agreement and related documentation for a credit facility in a principal amount of up to $16,800 with ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC and its affiliates (the “2014 Term Loan Facilities”) to partially finance the newbuilding Ultramax vessel that each subsidiary acquired, namely the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp, respectively. Amounts borrowed under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities were not allowed to be reborrowed. The 2014 Term Loan Facilities had a ten-year term, and the facility amount was to be the lowest of 60% of the delivered cost per vessel, $16,800 per vessel, and 60% of the fair market value of each vessel at delivery. The 2014 Term Loan Facilities were insured by the China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation (Sinosure) in order to cover political and commercial risks for 95% of the outstanding principal plus interest, which was recorded in deferred financing fees. Borrowings under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities bore interest at the three or six-month LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.50% per annum. Borrowings were to be repaid in 20 equal consecutive semi-annual installments of 1/24 of the facility amount plus a balloon payment of 1/6 of the facility amount at final maturity. Principal repayments commenced six months after the actual delivery date for each respective vessel.

Borrowings under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities were secured by liens on the vessels acquired with borrowings under these facilities, namely the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp, and other related assets. The Company guaranteed the obligations of the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities.

~~Table of Contents~~

On November 15, 2016, the Company entered into Supplemental Agreements with lenders under our 2014 Term Loan Facilities which, among other things, amended the Company’s collateral maintenance covenants under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities to provide that such covenants would not be tested through December 30, 2017 and the minimum collateral value to loan ratio was 100% from December 31, 2017, 105% from June 30, 2018, 115% from December 31, 2018 and 135% from December 31, 2019. These Supplemental Agreements also provided for certain other amendments to the 2014 Term Loan Facilities, which included reductions in the minimum liquidity requirements consistent with the $400 Million Credit Facility and restrictions on incurring indebtedness, making investments (other than through non-recourse subsidiaries) or paying dividends, similar to the $400 Million Credit Facility. Additionally, the minimum working capital required was the same as under the $400 Million Credit Facility. Lastly, the maximum leverage requirement was equivalent to the debt to total capitalization requirement in the $400 Million Credit Facility.

There were no debt repayments made during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities. There were no debt repayments made during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and $25,544 of debt repayments made during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities.

The $495 Million Credit Facility was utilized to refinance the $400 Million Credit Facility, $98 Million Credit Facility and 2014 Term Loan Facilities on June 5, 2018 and was subsequently amended on February 28, 2019. The carrying amounts of the Company’s other financial instruments at ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018~~2019 (principally Due from charterers and Accounts payable and accrued expenses) approximate fair values because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

ASC Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements & Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. This guidance enables the reader of the financial

Table of Contents

statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumption (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that the Company is able to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these instruments does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for instruments that are similar, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar instruments, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are considered Level 1 items, as they represent liquid assets with short-term maturities. Floating rate debt is considered to be a Level 2 item, as the Company considers the estimate of rates it could obtain for similar debt or based upon transactions amongst third parties. Nonrecurring fair value measurements include vessel impairment assessments completed during the interim period and at year-end as determined based on third-party quotes, which are based on various data points, including comparable sales of similar vessels, which are Level 2 inputs. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the vessel assets for ~~five~~fourteen of the Company’s vessels were written down as part of the impairment recorded during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019.During~~March 31, 2020.

12 – VOYAGE ~~REVENUE~~REVENUES

Total voyage ~~revenue includes~~revenues include revenue earned on fixed rate time charters, spot market voyage charters and spot market-related time charters, as well as the sale of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters. For the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ the Company earned ~~$103,776~~$98,336 and ~~$92,263~~$93,464 of voyage revenue, respectively. ~~For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company earned $280,790 and $255,336 of voyage revenue, respectively.~~

Revenue for spot market voyage charters is recognized ratably over the total transit time of the voyage which begins when the vessel arrives at the loading port and ends at the time the discharge of cargo is completed at the discharge port in accordance with ASC 606. Spot market voyage charter agreements do not provide the charterers with substantive decision-making rights to direct how and for what purpose the vessel is used, therefore revenue from spot market voyage charters is not within the scope of ASC 842. Additionally, the Company has identified that the contract fulfillment costs of spot market voyage charters consist primarily of the fuel consumption that is incurred by the Company from the latter of the end of the previous vessel employment and the contract date until the arrival at the loading port in addition to any port expenses incurred prior to arrival at the load port, as well as any charter hire expenses for third-party vessels that are chartered in. The fuel consumption ~~during this period is~~and any port expenses incurred prior to arrival at the load port are capitalized and recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance ~~Sheet~~Sheets and isare amortized ratably over the total transit time of the voyage from arrival at the loading port until the vessel departs from the discharge port and expensed as part of Voyage Expenses. Similarly, for any third party vessels that are chartered in, the charter hire expenses during this period are capitalized and recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized and expensed as part of Charter hire expenses.Refer also to Note 9 — Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets.

During time charter agreements, including fixed rate time charters and spot market-related time charters, the charterers have substantive decision-making rights to direct how and for what purpose the vessel is used. As such, the

Table of Contents

Company has identified that time charter agreements contain a lease in accordance with ASC 842. During time charter agreements, the Company is responsible for operating and maintaining the vessels. These costs are recorded as vessel operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operation. The Company has elected the practical expedient that allows the Company to combine lease and non-lease components under ASC 842 as the Company believes (1) the timing and pattern of recognizing revenues for operating the vessel is the same as the timing and pattern of recognizing vessel leasing revenue; and (2) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease.

13 - LEASES

Effective April 4, 2011, the Company entered into a seven-year sub-sublease agreement for its main office in New York, New York. The term of the sub-sublease commenced June 1, 2011, with a free base rental period until October 31, 2011. Following the expiration of the free base rental period, the monthly base rental payments were $82 per month until May 31, 2015 and thereafter were $90 per month until the end of the seven-year term. Pursuant to the sub-sublease agreement, the sublessor was obligated to contribute $472 toward the cost of the Company’s alterations to the sub-subleased office space. The Company has also entered into a direct lease with the over-landlord of such office space that commenced immediately upon the expiration of such sub-sublease agreement, for a term covering the period from May 1, 2018 to September 30, 2025; the direct lease provided for a free base rental period from May 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018. Following the expiration of the free base rental period, the monthly base rental payments are $186 per month from October 1, 2018 to April 30, 2023 and $204 per month from May 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025. For accounting purposes, the sub-sublease agreement and direct lease agreement with the landlord constitute one lease agreement.

In addition, during October 2017 the Company entered into a lease for office space in Singapore that expired in January 2019. A lease was signed for a new office space in Singapore effective January 17, 2019 for a three-year term.

Lastly, during July 2018, the Company entered into a lease for office space in Copenhagen, which commenced on July 1, 2018 and ended on April 30, 2019. A lease was signed for a new office space in Copenhagen effective May 1, 2019 for a minimum period ending May 1, 2023.

The Company adopted ASC 842 using the transition method on January 1, 2019 ~~(refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies)~~ and has identified ~~this lease~~these leases as an operating ~~lease.~~leases. Variable rent expense, such as utilities and escalation expenses, are excluded from the determination of the operating lease liability, as the Company has deemed these insignificant.The Company used its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate under ASC 842 since the rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined.

On June 14, 2019, the Company entered into a sublease agreement for a portion of the leased space for its main office in New York, New York that commenced on July 26, 2019 and will end on September 29, 2025. There is a free base rental period for the first four and a half months commencing on July 26, 2019. Following the expiration of the free base rental period, the monthly base sublease income will be $102 per month until September 29, 2025. The sublease income for the portion of the leased space is less than the lease payments due for the space, which has been identified as an indicator of impairment under ASC 360. As such, the right-of-use asset for the subleased portion of the space was written down to its fair value during the second quarter of 2019 which resulted in $223 of impairment charges which ~~has been~~was recorded in Impairment of right-of-asset in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operation during the ~~nine~~three months ~~ended September 30, 2019.

14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

During the second half of 2018, the Company entered into agreements for the purchase of ballast water treatments systems (“BWTS”) for 4342 of its vessels. The cost of these systems will vary based on the size and specifications of each vessel and whether the systems will be installed in China during the vessels’ scheduled drydockings. Based on the contractual purchase price of the BWTS and the estimated installation fees, the Company estimates the cost of the systems to be approximately ~~$0.8~~$0.9 million for Capesize vessels, ~~$0.5 million for Panamax vessels, $0.5~~$0.6 million for Supramax vessels and $0.5 million for Handysize vessels. These costs will be capitalized and depreciated over the remainder of the life of the vessel. The Company recorded ~~$11,286~~cumulatively $14,225 and ~~$1,804~~$12,783 in Vessel assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively, related to BWTS additions.

On December 21, 2018, the Company entered into agreements to install scrubbers on its 17 Capesize vessels. The Company ~~anticipates~~completed scrubber installation on ~~the 17~~16 of its Capesize vessels ~~to be completed~~ during 2019 and ~~estimate that~~ the remaining Capesize vessel on January 17, 2020. The cost of each scrubber ~~including installation, will be approximately $2.25 million per vessel, which may vary~~varied according to the specifications of ~~our~~the Company’s vessels and technical aspects of the installation, among other variables. These costs will be capitalized and depreciated over the remainder of the life of the vessel. The Company recorded ~~$32,156,~~cumulatively $42,477 and ~~$428~~$41,270 in Vessel assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance ~~Sheet~~Sheets as of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively, related to scrubber additions.

15 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

2014 Management Incentive Plan

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Chapter 11 Plan, the Company adopted the Genco Shipping & Trading Limited 2014 Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”). An aggregate of 966,806 shares of Common Stock were available for award under the MIP. Awards under the MIP took the form of restricted stock grants and three tiers of MIP Warrants with staggered strike prices based on increasing equity values. The number of shares of common stock available under the Plan represented approximately 1.8% of the shares of post-emergence Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Date on a fully-diluted basis. Awards under the MIP were available to eligible employees, non-employee directors and/or officers of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Eligible Individuals”). Under the MIP, a

~~Table of Contents~~

committee appointed by the Board from time to time (or, in the absence of such a committee, the Board) (in either case, the “Plan Committee”) could grant a variety of stock-based incentive awards, as the Plan Committee deems appropriate, to Eligible Individuals. The MIP Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and contain customary anti-dilution protection in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, dividend or other distributions (including, but not limited to, cash dividends), or business combination transaction.

On August 7, 2014, pursuant to the MIP, certain individuals were granted MIP Warrants whereby each warrant can be converted on a cashless basis for the amount in excess of the respective strike price. The MIP Warrants were issued in three tranches for 238,066, 246,701 and 370,979 shares and have exercise prices, as adjusted for dividends declared during the fourth quarter of ~~$259.10~~2019 and the first quarter of 2020, of $240.89221 (the “$~~259.10~~240.89 Warrants”), ~~$287.30~~$267.11051 (the “$~~287.30~~267.11 Warrants”) and ~~$341.90~~$317.87359 (the “$~~341.90~~317.87 Warrants”) per whole share, respectively. The fair value of each warrant upon emergence from bankruptcy was $7.22 for the ~~$259.10~~$240.89 Warrants, $6.63 for the ~~$287.30~~$267.11 Warrants and $5.63 for the ~~$341.90~~$317.87 Warrants. The warrant values were based upon a calculation using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula. This model uses inputs such as the underlying price of the shares issued when the warrant is exercised, volatility, cost of capital interest rate and expected life of the instrument. The Company has determined that the warrants should be classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy by evaluating each input for the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula against the fair value hierarchy criteria and using the lowest level of input as the basis for the fair value classification. The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula used a volatility of 43.91% (representing the six-year volatility of a peer group), a risk-free interest rate of 1.85% and a dividend rate of 0%.

Table of Contents

The aggregate fair value of these awards upon emergence from bankruptcy was $54,436. The warrants vested 33.33% on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, with accelerated vesting upon a change in control of the Company.

For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ there was no amortization expense of the fair value of these warrants. As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, there was no unamortized stock-based compensation for the warrants and all warrants were vested.

2015 Equity Incentive Plan

On June 26, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan for awards with respect to an aggregate of 400,000 shares of common stock (the “2015 Plan”). Under the 2015 Plan, the Company’s Board of Directors, the compensation committee, or another designated committee of the Board of Directors may grant a variety of stock-based incentive awards to the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and consultants. Awards may consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, restricted (nonvested) stock, restricted stock units, and unrestricted stock. As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Company has awarded restricted stock units, restricted stock and stock options under the 2015 Plan.

On March 23, 2017, the Board of Directors approved an amendment and restatement of the 2015 Plan. This amendment and restatement increased the number of shares available for awards under the plan from 400,000 to 2,750,000, subject to shareholder approval; set the annual limit for awards to non-employee directors and other individuals as 500,000 and 1,000,000 shares, respectively; and modified the change in control definition. The

~~Table of Contents~~

Company’s ~~shareholder’s~~shareholders approved the increase in the number of shares at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 17, 2017.

Stock Options

On March 23, 2017, the Company issued options to purchase 133,000 of the Company’s shares of common stock to John C. Wobensmith, Chief Executive Officer and President, with an exercise price of ~~$11.13~~$10.805 per ~~share.~~share, as adjusted for the special dividend declared on November 5, 2019.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company has issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2015 Plan to certain members of the Board of Directors and certain executives and employees of the Company, which represent the right to receive a share of common stock, or in the sole discretion of the Company’s Compensation Committee, the value of a share of common stock on the date that the RSU vests. As of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018, 228,781~~2019, 373,588 and ~~216,304~~326,247 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding in respect of the RSUs, respectively. Such shares of common stock will only be issued in respect of vested RSUs issued to directors when the director’s service with the Company as a director terminates. Such shares of common stock will only be issued to executives and employees when their RSUs vest under the terms of their grant agreements and the amended 2015 Plan described above.

The RSUs that have been issued to certain members of the Board of Directors generally vest on the date of the annual shareholders meeting of the Company following the date of the grant. In lieu of cash dividends issued for vested and nonvested shares held by certain members of the Board of Directors, the Company will grant additional vested and nonvested RSUs, respectively, which are calculated by dividing the amount of the dividend by the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the dividend payment date and will have the same terms as other RSUs issued to members of the Board of Directors. The RSUs that have been issued to other individuals vest ratably on each of the three anniversaries of the determined vesting date. The table below summarizes the Company’s unvested RSUs for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019:~~March 31, 2020:

17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On ~~November 5, 2019,~~May 6, 2020, the Company entered into amendments with our lenders to the dividend covenants of the credit agreements for our $495 Million Credit Facility and our $108 Million Credit Facility. Under the terms of these two facilities as so amended, dividends or repurchases of our stock are subject to customary conditions. The Company may pay dividends or repurchase stock under these facilities to the extent our total cash and cash equivalents are greater than $100,000 and 18.75% of our total indebtedness, whichever is higher; if we cannot satisfy this condition, we are subject to a limitation of 50% of consolidated net income for the quarter preceding such dividend payment or stock repurchase if the collateral maintenance test ratio is 200% or less for such quarter, for which purpose the full commitment of up to $35,000 of the scrubber tranche under the $495 Million Credit Facility is assumed to be drawn.

~~On November 5, 2019, the Company declared~~announced a regular quarterly dividend of ~~$0.175~~$0.02 per share to be paid on or about ~~December 5, 2019~~May 28, 2020 to shareholders of record as of ~~November 21, 2019.~~May 18, 2020. The aggregate amount of the dividend is expected to be approximately ~~$7,351,~~$0.8 million, which the Company anticipates will be funded from cash on hand at the time the payment is to be made.

On November 5, 2019, the Company declared a special dividend of $0.325 per share to be paid on or about December 5, 2019 to shareholders of record as of November 21, 2019. The aggregate amount of the dividend is expected to be approximately $13,652, which the Company anticipates will be funded from cash on hand at the time the payment is to be made.

On November 4, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Genco Raptor, a 2007-built Panamax vessel, to a third party for $10,200 less a 2.0% commission payable to a third party. The sale of the vessel is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2019. Refer to Note 2 ~~— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies regarding the impairment recorded for this vessel during the third quarter of 2019.~~

~~On October 21, 2019, the Company completed the sale of the Genco Champion, a 2006-built Handysize vessel, to a third party for $6,600 less a 3.0% broker commission payable to a third party.~~ The vessel assets have been classified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2019. Refer also to Note 4 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions. This vessel served as collateral under the $495 Million Credit Facility; therefore, $4,101 of the net proceeds received from the sale will remain classified as restricted cash for 180 days following the sale date. That amount can be used towards a loan prepayment under the facility or for the financing of a replacement vessel or vessels meeting certain requirements and added as collateral under the facility. If such a replacement vessel is not added as collateral within such 180 day period, the Company will be required to use the proceeds as a loan prepayment.

~~On October 10, 2019, the Company completed the sale of the Genco Challenger, a 2003-built Handysize vessel, to a third party for $5,250 less a 2.0% broker commission payable to a third party.~~ The vessel assets have been classified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2019. Refer also to Note 4 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions. This vessel served as collateral under the $495 Million Credit Facility; therefore, $3,381 of the net proceeds received from the sale will remain classified as restricted cash for 180 days following the sale date. That amount can be used towards a loan prepayment under the facility or for the financing of a replacement vessel or vessels meeting certain requirements and added as collateral under the facility. If such a replacement vessel is not added as collateral within such 180 day ~~period, the Company will be required to use the proceeds as a loan prepayment.~~

Our ability to pay dividends in any period will depend upon various factors, including the limitations under any credit agreements to which we may be a party, applicable provisions of Marshall Islands law and the final determination by the Board of Directors each quarter after its review of our financial performance. The timing and amount of dividends, if any, could also be affected by factors affecting cash flows, results of operations, required capital expenditures, or reserves. As a result, the amount of dividends actually paid may vary. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Table of Contents

The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this Form 10-Q.

General

We are a Marshall Islands company that transports iron ore, coal, grain, steel products and other drybulk cargoes along worldwide shipping routes through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels. Our fleet currently consists of 5653 drybulk vessels, including 17 Capesize ~~drybulk carriers, two Panamax~~ drybulk carriers, six Ultramax drybulk carriers, 20 Supramax drybulk carriers and 1110 Handysize drybulk carriers, with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately ~~5,018,000~~4,837,000 dwt and an average age of approximately ~~9.6~~9.9 years. We seek to deploy our vessels on time charters, spot market voyage charters, spot market-related time charters or in vessel pools trading in the spot market, to reputable charterers. ~~The majority of the vessels in our current fleet are presently engaged under time charter,~~

~~Table of Contents~~

~~spot market voyage charters and spot market-related time charter contracts that expire (assuming the option periods in the time charters are not exercised) between November 2019 and April 2020.~~

See pages 4538 - 4639 for a table of ~~all vessels in~~ our current fleet.

~~In 2017, we began implementing initiatives~~Genco’s approach towards fleet composition is to ~~expand our commercial platform~~own a high-quality fleet of vessels that focuses primarily on Capesize, Ultramax and ~~more actively manage the employment~~Supramax vessels. This approach of ~~our vessels. We hired commercial directors for our~~owning ships that transport both major ~~bulk~~ and minor bulk ~~fleets and began employment of our vessels directly~~commodities provide us with cargo owners under cargo contracts. To better capitalize on opportunities to employ our vessels, we expanded our global commercial presence with the establishment of new offices in Singapore and Copenhagen. Additionally, we withdrew all of our vessels from their respective pools and reallocated our freight exposure to a wide range of drybulk trade flows. We employ an active commercial strategy which consists of a global team located in the ~~Atlantic basin to seek to capture the earnings premium historically offered.~~U.S., Copenhagen and Singapore. Overall, our fleet deployment strategy remains weighted towards short-term fixtures, which ~~provide~~provides us with optionality ~~in a potentially rising freight rate environment.~~on our sizeable fleet. In addition to both short and long-term time charters, we fix our vessels on spot market voyage charters as well as spot market-related time charters depending on market conditions and management’s outlook.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization (the “WHO”) declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus strain, or COVID-19, to be a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is having widespread, rapidly evolving, and unpredictable impacts on global society, economies, financial markets, and business practices. Governments have implemented measures in an effort to contain the virus, including social distancing, travel restrictions, border closures, limitations on public gatherings, working from home, supply chain logistical changes, and closure of non-essential businesses. This has led to a significant slowdown in overall economic activity levels globally and a decline in demand for certain of the raw materials that our vessels transport.

Drybulk shipping rates, and therefore our voyage revenues, depend to a significant degree on economic activity in China, which drives demand for iron ore, coal and other cargoes we carry. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in reduced industrial activity in China on which our business is substantially dependent, with temporary closures of factories and other facilities. The pandemic resulted in a 6.8% contraction in China’s GDP during the first quarter of 2020, with the most significant impact occurring in January and February. Since March, the world’s second largest economy and largest importer of drybulk commodities has shown signs of improvement as various economic indicators such as fixed asset investment and industrial production rose as compared to the previous months of the year. Economic activity levels in regions outside of China have declined significantly due to various forms of nationwide shutdowns being imposed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. India, Japan, Europe and the U.S., which are important drivers of demand for drybulk trade, are expected to see meaningful contractions in economic output, which is likely to persist at least through the second quarter of 2020. The impact of the economic contraction remains highly dependent on the trajectory of COVID-19, which is uncertain.

While the drybulk earnings environment in Q1 2020 was already trending lower in part due to Brazilian iron ore supply constraints, the onset and continued spread of COVID-19 further accentuated this decline. The Capesize market is heavily reliant on iron ore shipments, particularly from Brazil, which decreased by 16% from the previous year in the first quarter of 2020, marking the lowest quarter since the first quarter of 2013 as heavy rainfall impacted export activity.

The outlook for China and the rest of the world remains uncertain and is highly dependent on the path of COVID-19 and measures taken by the governments around the world in response to it. In the near term, given overall decreased economic activity globally, we believe that drybulk commodities that are closely tied to global GDP growth,

Table of Contents

such as coal and various minor bulk cargoes, are likely to continue to see reduced trade flows due to lower end user demand. As countries worldwide begin to gradually recover and reopen their respective economies, we anticipate augmented trade flows and demand for raw materials, which could support increased drybulk earnings. However, the timing of any such recovery cannot be predicted and could be affected by a resurgence of the virus.

As our vessels continue to trade commodities globally, we have taken measures to safeguard our crew and work toward preventing the spread of COVID-19. Crew members have received gloves, face masks, hand sanitizer, goggles and handheld thermometers. We continue to monitor the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the “CDC”) and the WHO guidelines and are also limiting access of shore personnel boarding our vessels. Specifically, no shore personnel with fever or respiratory symptoms are allowed on board, and those that are allowed on board are restricted to designated areas that are thoroughly cleaned after their use. Face masks are also provided to shore personnel prior to boarding a vessel. Precautionary materials are posted in common areas to supplement safety training while personal hygiene best practices are strongly encouraged on board.

We have implemented protocols with regard to crew rotations to keep our crew members safe and healthy which includes polymerase chain reaction (PCR) antibody testing as well as a 14-day quarantine period prior to boarding a vessel. Genco is enacting crew changes where permissible by regulations of the ports and origin of the mariners, in addition to strict protocols that safeguard our crews against COVID-19 exposure.

Onshore, our three global offices located in New York, Copenhagen, and Singapore are temporarily closed with our personnel working remotely. We have also placed a ban on all non-essential travel.

The COVID-19 pandemic and measures to contain its spread thus have negatively impacted and could continue to impact regional and global economies and trade patterns in markets in which we operate, the way we operate our business, and the businesses of our charterers and suppliers. These impacts may continue or become more severe. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business going forward will depend on numerous evolving factors we cannot reliably predict, including the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business, and individuals’ actions in response to the pandemic; and the impact on economic activity, including the possibility of recession or financial market instability. Please refer to Risk Factors (Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q) for a discussion of these factors and other risks.

U.S.-China Trade War

Over the course of 2018 and 2019, the United States imposed a series of tariffs on several goods imported from various countries. Certain of these countries, including China, undertook retaliatory actions by implementing tariffs on select U.S. products. Most notably in terms of drybulk trade volumes is China’s tariff placed upon U.S. soybean exports, which could adversely affect drybulk rates. To date, our observation of trade flows has been that China has increased its market share of Brazilian and Argentine soybeans, while a portion of U.S. shipments have been re-directed to other destinations such as Latin America and Europe. AsWith the signing of the ~~date of this filing, there is still no comprehensive~~“phase one” trade agreement ~~in place~~ between China and the U.S.~~, although reports indicate a phase-one deal is close to being executed between the two countries. It~~ in January 2020, China has ~~reported that under this framework, China is to agree~~agreed in principle to purchase meaningful quantities of soybeans from the U.S. ~~agricultural products including soybeans.~~ However, ~~as no agreement has been finalized, the risk~~a re-escalation of ~~trade tensions reigniting~~protectionist measures taken between ~~the two nations and further escalation~~these countries or other could lead to reduced volumes of ~~tariffs and other economic measures remains.~~drybulk trade.

IMO 2020 Compliance

On October 27, 2016, the Marine Environment Protection Committee (“MEPC”) of the International Maritime Organization (“IMO”) announced the ratification of regulations mandating reduction in sulfur emissions from 3.5% currently to 0.5% as of the beginning of 2020 rather than pushing the deadline back to 2025. ~~By 2020,~~Accordingly, ships ~~will~~ now have to reduce sulfur emissions, for which the principal solutions are the use of exhaust gas cleaning systems (“scrubbers”) or buying fuel with low sulfur content. If a vessel is not retrofitted with a scrubber, it will need to use low sulfur fuel, which is currently more expensive than standard marine fuel containing 3.5% sulfur content. This increased demand for low sulfur fuel ~~may result~~has resulted in an increase in prices for such ~~fuel.~~fuel and may result in additional increases.

We have ~~entered into agreements to install~~installed scrubbers on our 17 Capesize ~~vessels. We expect the balance~~vessels, 16 of which were completed during 2019 and one of which was completed in January 2020. The remainder of our fleet ~~will consume~~has begun consuming compliant, low sulfur fuel beginning in 2020, ~~but~~although we intend to continue to evaluate other options. During the course of ~~2018,~~2019, we sold ~~seven~~four of

our vessels. Additionally, we have sold two of our older, less fuel efficient vessels and purchased six modern high specification vessels with a goal of improving fuel consumption and further reduce emissions. We also sold one vessel during January 2019 and two vessels during ~~October 2019,~~the first quarter of 2020 and ~~also~~have entered into ~~an agreement on September 25, 2019 and November 4, 2019~~agreements to sell ~~two~~three additional ~~vessels.~~vessels for which the sales are expected to be completed during the second and third quarters of 2020. We will continue to seek opportunities to renew our fleet going forward.

~~On January 1, 2019, we adopted~~ ~~Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842~~ — ~~Leases which resulted in a right-of-use and operating lease liability for our office lease in New York. Refer to Note 2~~ — ~~Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 13~~ — ~~Leases of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.~~Our Operations

We report financial information and evaluate our operations by charter revenues and not by the length of ship employment for our customers, i.e., spot or time charters. Each of our vessels serves the same type of customer, has similar operations and maintenance requirements, operates in the same regulatory environment, and is subject to similar economic characteristics. Based on this, we have determined that we operate in one reportable segment in which we are engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels.

Our management team and our other employees are responsible for the commercial and strategic management of our fleet. Commercial management includes the negotiation of charters for vessels, managing the mix of various types

~~Table of Contents~~

of charters, such as time charters, spot market voyage charters and spot market-related time charters, and monitoring the performance of our vessels under their charters. Strategic management includes locating, purchasing, financing and selling vessels. We currently contract with two independent technical managers to provide technical management of our fleet at a lower cost than we believe would be possible in-house. Technical management involves the day-to-day management of vessels, including performing routine maintenance, attending to vessel operations and arranging for crews and supplies. Members of our New York City-based management team oversee the activities of our independent technical managers.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

We believe that the following table reflects important measures for analyzing trends in our results of operations. The table reflects our ownership days, chartered-in days, available days, operating days, fleet utilization, TCE rates and daily vessel operating expenses for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019 ~~and 2018~~ on a consolidated basis.

Definitions

In order to understand our discussion of our results of operations, it is important to understand the meaning of the following terms used in our analysis and the factors that influence our results of operations.

(1) Ownership days. We define ownership days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet has been owned by us. Ownership days are an indicator of the size of our fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that we record during a period.

(2) Chartered-in days. We define chartered-in days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which we chartered-in third-party vessels.

(3) Available days (owned and chartered-in fleet). We define available days, which we have recently updated and incorporated in the table above to better demonstrate the manner in which we evaluate our business, as the number of our ownership days and chartered-in days less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to familiarization upon acquisition, repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys. Companies in the shipping industry generally use available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues.

(4) Available days (owned fleet). We define available days for the owned fleet as available days less chartered-in days.

(5) Operating days. We define operating days as the number of our total available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues.

(6) Fleet utilization. We calculate fleet utilization, which we have recently updated and incorporated in the table above to better demonstrate the manner in which we evaluate our business, as the number of our operating days during a period divided by the number of ownership days plus chartered-in days less drydocking days.

(7) TCE rates. We define TCE rates as our voyage revenues less voyage expenses and charter-hire expenses, divided by the number of the available days of our owned fleet during the ~~period, which is consistent with industry standards.~~period. TCE rate is a common shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare daily earnings generated by vessels

on time charters with daily earnings generated by vessels on voyage charters, because charterhire rates for vessels on voyage charters are generally not expressed in per-day amounts while charterhire rates for vessels on time charters generally are expressed in such amounts.

EBITDA represents net (loss) income plus net interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is included because it is used by management and certain investors as a measure of operating performance. EBITDA is used by analysts in the shipping industry as a common performance measure to compare results across peers. Our management uses EBITDA as a performance measure in our consolidated internal financial statements, and it is presented for review at our board meetings. We believe that EBITDA is useful to investors as the shipping industry is capital intensive which often results in significant depreciation and cost of financing. EBITDA presents investors with a measure in addition to net income to evaluate our performance prior to these costs. EBITDA is not an item recognized by U.S. GAAP (i.e., non-GAAP measure) and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other indicator of a company’s operating performance required by U.S. GAAP. EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity or cash flows as shown in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The definition of EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies. The following table demonstrates our calculation of EBITDA and provides a reconciliation of EBITDA to net ~~(loss) income~~loss for each of the periods presented above:

The charter expiration dates presented represent the earliest dates that our charters may be terminated in the ordinary course. Under the terms of certain contracts, the charterer is entitled to extend the time charter from two to four months in order to complete the vessel's final voyage plus any time the vessel has been off-hire.

(2)

Time charter rates presented are the gross daily charterhire rates before third-party brokerage commission generally ranging from 1.25% to 6.25%. In a time charter, the charterer is responsible for voyage expenses such as bunkers, port expenses, agents’ fees and canal dues.

Three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019

VOYAGE REVENUES-

For the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, voyage revenues increased by ~~$11.5~~$4.9 million, or ~~12.5%~~5.2%, to ~~$103.8~~$98.3 million as compared to ~~$92.3~~$93.5 million for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. The increase in voyage revenues was primarily due to increased employment of vessels on spot market voyage charters, specifically for Capesize vessels, partially offset by reduced fixed time charter rates for certain vessels in our fleet. Since most of our revenues for the first quarter derived from forward cargoes and short-period time charters entered into before the COVID-19 pandemic began to have a significant economic effect, our results for the first quarter were partially insulated from the impact of ~~trading our Capesize vessels primarily~~COVID-19. However, we believe the pandemic has resulted in lower drybulk rates since March of this year than we would have achieved in the ~~Pacific Basin~~absence of the virus, given lower demand for some of the cargoes we carry, including iron ore, coal and ~~offhire related~~various minor bulk commodities. In some countries, notably India, the curtailing of terminal operations due to ~~scrubber installations, ballast water treatment system installations~~COVID-19 since March has resulted in reduced activity at ports and ~~special surveys as discussed below.~~further curtailed the ability of drybulk vessels to earn revenues.

The average Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rate of our fleet increased ~~9.3%~~5.7% to ~~$11,687~~$9,755 a day for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 from ~~$10,696~~$9,230 a day for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. The increase in TCE rates ~~resulted from~~was primarily a result of higher ~~charter~~ rates achieved by ~~the majority of~~ our Capesize vessels partially offset by lower rates for our smaller class vessels.

InBeginning in the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2019,~~2020 through the ~~drybulk market improved~~present, as a number of the charters we booked prior to the global spread of COVID-19 have expired, subsequent fixtures for certain of our vessels have been at lower rates than what was fixed for the previous quarter. For Capesize vessels, rates as reported by the Baltic Exchange are significantly ~~reaching multi-year highs~~lower than those that our vessels earned in the ~~process. Specifically,~~second half of 2019. However, the Baltic Capesize Index ~~was supported by record steel production~~has improved from first quarter lows. We believe this trend is largely attributable to early signs of industrial recovery in China ~~and increased Brazilian~~that began in March 2020 as well as indications of a potential gradual recovery in iron ore shipments from Brazil, which we believe is based on such recovery in China as well as the cessation of weather-related disruptions. Market conditions and rates for minor bulk vessels have been declining during the second quarter to date from rates during the first quarter of 2020 and are also significantly lower than those in the second half of 2019. As cargoes on these vessels largely consist of commodities tied to global economic activity as a ~~period of constrained vessel capacity due~~whole, we believe the decline in rates is largely attributable to ~~the~~decreased global ~~fleet’s preparation ahead of IMO 2020. As~~economic activity in countries other than China as a result of COVID-19, which have not yet shown signs of recovery.

The overall uncertainty surrounding the ~~preparation~~impact of COVID-19 on our business, together with reduced economic activity and in turn trade flows, could continue to ~~get~~negatively impact the revenue generated by our ~~Capesize vessels fitted with scrubbers ahead~~vessels. While we believe that the recovery of economies affected by COVID-19 will lead to increased trade flows and improvement in drybulk shipping rates, the timing of any such recovery cannot be predicted and could be affected by a resurgence of the IMO 2020 compliance date of January 1, 2020, we made the strategic decision to trade our vessels primarily in the Pacific basin, closer to the shipyard, to aid in meeting our designated shipyard slot dates for scrubber installations. However, this also limited our commercial trading capabilities in the short-term. This resulted in our Capesize fleet remaining in the Pacific basin, a region that saw rates trade at a discount to the Atlantic basin, notwithstanding our long-term commercial strategy that entails a more dynamic vessel positioning to better capture market fundamentals. We had 22 vessels enter the shipyard for scrubber installations, ballast water treatment system installations, scheduled special surveys and other repairs, resulting in associated offhire time of 601 days for the quarter.virus.

For the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ we had ~~5,336.0~~4,942.5 and ~~5,673.0~~5,247.2 ownership days, respectively. The decrease in ownership days is primarily due to the sale of ~~eight~~four vessels during ~~the second half of 2018~~2019 and two vessels during the first quarter of ~~2019 partially offset by the delivery of six vessels during the third quarter of 2018.~~2020. Fleet utilization increased to ~~98.9%~~97.8% during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 from ~~98.5%~~97.4% during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in offhire ~~days.~~during the first quarter of 2020.

charter, we record the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a gain or loss within voyage expenses. Voyage expenses also include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement. Additionally, we may record lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments to re-value the bunker fuel on a quarterly basis for certain time charter agreements where the inventory is subject to gains and losses. Refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Voyage expenses increased by ~~$11.5~~$5.3 million from ~~$31.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to~~ $43.0 million during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2019 as compared to $48.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was primarily due to the ~~employment~~onset of IMO 2020 in which our non-scrubber fitted minor bulk fleet consumed more expensive low sulfur fuel as opposed to high sulfur fuel in order to comply with sulfur emissions regulations that took effect on January 1, 2020. This was partially offset by savings in fuel costs on our Capesize vessels, ~~on additional spot market voyage~~which are all fitted with scrubbers and continue to consume the less expensive high sulfur fuel. Additionally, there was an increase in bunkers consumed during short-term time charters during the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2019, which incur significantly higher voyage expenses~~2020 as compared to ~~time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool arrangements.~~ the first quarter of 2019.

VESSEL OPERATING EXPENSES-

Vessel operating expenses decreased by ~~$0.4~~$1.4 million from ~~$25.2~~$23.2 million during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 to ~~$24.7~~$21.8 million during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to fewer owned vessels during the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2019~~2020 as compared to the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2018, partially offset by higher drydocking related expenses.~~2019.

Daily vessel operating expenses ~~increased~~decreased marginally to ~~$4,631~~$4,413 per vessel per day for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 from ~~$4,434~~$4,420 per day for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2018. The increase in daily vessel operating expense was predominantly due to higher drydocking related expenses.~~March 31, 2019. Refer to “Capital Expenditures” below for further detail. We believe daily vessel operating expenses are best measured for comparative purposes over a 12-month period in order to take into account all of the expenses that each vessel in our fleet will incur over a full year of operation. Our actual daily vessel operating expenses per vessel for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 were ~~$106 above~~$177 below the weighted-average budgeted rate of ~~$4,525~~$4,590 per vessel per day for the entire year.

Restrictions on crew rotations have led to a temporary decline in crewing related expenses in the near-term although we anticipate costs to normalize over time. The timing of crew rotations remains dependent on the duration and severity of COVID-19 in countries from which our crews are sourced as well as any restrictions in place at ports in which our vessels call. In cases when crew rotations are delayed, we may have some additional costs related to crew bonuses aimed at keeping existing on board for prolonged periods of time.

Our vessel operating expenses, which generally represent fixed costs for each vessel, increase to the extent our fleet expands. Other factors beyond our control, some of which may affect the shipping industry in general, including, for instance, developments relating to market prices for crewing, lubes, and insurance, may also cause these expenses to increase. The impact of COVID-19 could result in potential shortages or a lack of access to required spare parts for the operation of our vessels, or potential delays in any unscheduled repairs, which could lead to business disruptions and delays.

As a result of the pending sale of the Genco Bay and the Baltic Breeze, we anticipate that we will forego budgeted drydocking costs of $1.4 million in the aggregate. Refer to Note 4 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

CHARTER HIRE EXPENSES-

Charter hire expenses increased by ~~$4.8~~$0.7 million from ~~$0.7~~$2.4 million during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 to ~~$5.5~~$3.1 million during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES-

We incur general and administrative expenses that relate to our onshore non-vessel-related activities. Our general and administrative expenses include our payroll expenses, including those relating to our executive officers, operating lease expense, legal, auditing and other professional expenses. General and administrative expenses include nonvested stock amortization expense which represent the amortization of stock-based compensation that has been issued to our Directors and employees pursuant to Management Incentive Program (the “MIP”) and the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. Refer to Note 15 — Stock-Based Compensation in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. General and administrative expenses also include legal and professional fees associated with our credit facilities, which are not capitalizable to deferred financing costs. We ~~expect to incur~~incurred additional general and administrative expenses during 2019 as a result of our global expansion to Singapore and ~~Copenhagen.~~Copenhagen and may incur additional such expenses related to these overseas offices during 2020.

For the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ general and administrative expenses were ~~$6.1~~$5.8 million and ~~$5.0~~$6.3 million, respectively. The ~~$1.1~~$0.5 million ~~increase~~decrease was primarily due to ~~an increase~~a decrease in ~~compensation related expenses~~office maintenance fees as well as ~~an increase in~~legal and professional fees.

TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT FEES-

We incur management fees to third-party technical management companies for the day-to-day management of our vessels, including performing routine maintenance, attending to vessel operations and arranging for crews and supplies. Technical management fees were $1.9 million and ~~$2.0~~$1.9 million during the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ respectively. ~~The decrease was due to a smaller fleet during the third quarter of 2019.~~

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION-

We depreciate the cost of our vessels on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of each vessel. Depreciation is based on the cost of the vessel less its estimated residual value. We estimate the useful life of our vessels

~~Table of Contents~~

to be 25 years and we estimate the residual value by taking the estimated scrap value of $310 per lightweight ton times the weight of the ship in lightweight tons.

Depreciation and amortization expense ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$0.9~~$0.5 million to ~~$18.2~~$17.6 million during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 as compared to ~~$17.3~~$18.1 million during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. This ~~increase~~decrease was primarily due to ~~an increase in depreciation expense recorded during the third quarter of 2019 for the six vessels delivered during the third quarter of 2018, partially offset by~~ a decrease in depreciation expense for the ~~six~~five vessels that were sold during the fourth quarter of ~~2018~~2019 and the first quarter of ~~2019,~~2020, as well as a decrease for the ~~five~~ten Handysize vessels that were impaired during the ~~second and third~~first quarter of ~~2019.~~2020. Refer to Note 4 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

IMPAIRMENT OF VESSEL ASSETS-

During the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we recorded ~~$12.2~~$112.8 million of impairment of vessel assets. There was no impairment of vessel assets during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019.

On ~~November 4, 2019,~~February 24, 2020, the ~~Company entered into an agreement~~Board of Directors determined to ~~sell~~dispose of the ten of our Handysize vessels; the Baltic Hare, the Baltic Fox, the Baltic Wind, the Baltic Cove, the Baltic Breeze, the Genco ~~Raptor, a 2007-built Panamax vessel,~~Ocean, the Genco Bay, the Genco Avra, the Genco Mare and the Genco Spirit, at times and on terms to ~~a third party for $10.2 million less a 2.0% commission payable to a third party. As~~be determined in the ~~anticipated~~future. Given this decision, and that the revised estimated future undiscounted cash flows ~~including~~for each of these older vessels did not exceed the net book value for each vessel given the estimated probabilities of whether the vessels will be sold, we have adjusted the values of these older vessels to their respective fair market values during the first quarter of 2020. Subsequent to February 24, 2020, we have entered into agreements to sell three of these vessels during the first quarter of 2020, namely the Baltic Wind, the Baltic Breeze and the Genco Bay, which were adjusted to their net sales ~~price,~~prices. Total impairment recorded during the first quarter of 2020 related to these ten Handysize vessels was $85.8 million.

At March 31, 2020, we determined that the expected estimated future undiscounted cash flows for four of our Supramax vessels; the Genco Picardy, the Genco Predator, the Genco Provence and the Genco Warrior; did not exceed the net book value of ~~the vessel~~these vessels as of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020. As such, we adjusted the ~~vessel~~carrying value ~~for the Genco Raptor was adjusted~~of these vessels to ~~its net sales price of $10.0 million~~their respective fair market values as of ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. This resulted in an impairment loss of ~~$5.9~~$27.0 million during the ~~three months ended September 30, 2019.~~

On September 25, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Genco Thunder, a 2007-built Panamax vessel, for $10.4 million less a 2.0% broker commission payable to a third party. Therefore, the vessel value for the Genco Thunder was adjusted to its net sales pricefirst quarter of ~~$10.2 million as of September 30, 2019. This resulted in an impairment loss of $5.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019.~~

On September 20, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Genco Champion, a 2006-built Handysize vessel, for $6.6 million less a 3.0% broker commission payable to a third party. Therefore, the vessel value for the Genco Champion was adjusted to its net sales price of $6.4 million as of September 30, 2019. This resulted in an impairment loss of $0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019. 2020.

~~GAIN~~LOSS (GAIN) ON SALE OF VESSELS-

During the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2018,~~2020, we recorded a net ~~gain~~loss on sale of vessels of ~~$1.5~~$0.5 million related primarily to the sale of the Genco ~~Progress~~Charger on ~~September 13, 2018~~February 24, 2020 and ~~the sale of the~~ Genco ~~Surprise~~Thunder on ~~August 7, 2018. There were no vessels sold during the third quarter of 2019.~~

~~OTHER (EXPENSE) INCOME-~~

~~NET INTEREST EXPENSE~~ –

Net interest expense increased by $0.3 million from $6.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $6.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Net interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 consisted of interest expense under our credit facilities and amortization of deferred financing costs for those facilities. This increase was primarily due to a $0.2 million decrease in interest income during the third quarter of 2019 as compared to the same period during 2018 due to a decrease in interest earned on our time deposits. There was also a $0.1 million increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in the interest expense associated with the $108 Million Credit Facility, which was entered into on August 14, 2018 partially offset by a decrease in interest expense associated with the $495 Million Credit Facility as the result of a lower debt balance due to required loan repayments.

~~Nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018~~

~~VOYAGE REVENUES-~~

~~For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, voyage revenues increased by $25.5 million, or 10.0%, to $280.8 million as compared to $255.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.~~ The increase in voyage revenues was primarily due to increased employment of vessels on spot market voyage charters, partially offset by the effect of trading our Capesize vessels primarily in the Pacific basin and offhire related to scrubber installations, ballast water treatment system installations and special surveys as noted above for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

The average Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rate of our fleet decreased 12.2% to $9,405 a day for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $10,710 a day for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. ~~The decrease in TCE rates was primarily due to lower rates achieved by the majority of the vessels in our fleet.~~

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we had 15,861.2 and 16,532.9 ownership days, respectively. The decrease in ownership days is primarily due to the sale of eight vessels during the second half of 2018 andMarch 5, 2020. During the first quarter of 2019 partially offset by the delivery of six vessels during the third quarter of 2018. Fleet utilization decreased to 97.9% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from 98.5% during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to an increase in offhire time during 2019.

~~VOYAGE EXPENSES-~~

Voyage expenses increased by $49.2 million from $78.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to $127.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase was primarily due to the employment of vessels on additional spot market voyage charters during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period during 2018. Spot market voyage charters incur significantly higher voyage expenses as compared to time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool arrangements.

~~VESSEL OPERATING EXPENSES-~~

~~Vessel operating expenses decreased by $0.4 million from $72.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $72.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.~~ The decrease was primarily due to fewer owned vessels during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period during 2018, partially offset by higher drydocking related expenses.

Daily vessel operating expenses increased to $4,556 per vessel per day for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $4,394 per day for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in daily vessel operating expense was predominantly due to higher drydocking related expenses (refer to “Capital Expenditures” below for further detail), as well as crew related expenses. We believe daily vessel operating expenses are best measured for comparative purposes over a 12-month period in order to take into account all of the expenses that each vessel in our fleet will incur over a full year of operation. Our actual daily vessel operating expenses per vessel for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $31 above the weighted-average budgeted rate of $4,525 per vessel per day for the entire year.

~~CHARTER HIRE EXPENSES-~~

Charter hire expenses increased by $11.5 million from $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $12.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we chartered in 23 third-party vessels as compared to only four during the same period during 2018.

~~GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES-~~

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, general and administrative expenses were $18.3 million and $16.8 million, respectively. The $1.5 million increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation related expenses.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT FEES-~~

Technical management fees were $5.7 million and $5.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease was due to a smaller fleet during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

~~DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION-~~

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $3.9 million to $54.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $50.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was primarily due to depreciation expense recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 for the six vessels delivered during the third quarter of 2018, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation for the eight vessels that were sold during the second half of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019. Refer to Note 4 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. There was also an increase in in the amortization of drydocking assets as there were more vessels that completed drydockings during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period during 2018. R~~efer to “Capital Expenditures” below for further detail.~~

~~IMPAIRMENT OF VESSEL ASSETS-~~

~~During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded $26.1 million and $56.6 million of impairment of vessel assets, respectively.~~

On November 4, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Genco Raptor, a 2007-built Panamax vessel, to a third party for $10.2 million less a 2.0% commission payable to a third party. As the anticipated undiscounted cash flows, including the net sales price, did not exceed the net book value of the vessel as of September 30, 2019, the vessel value for the Genco Raptor was adjusted to its net sales price of $10.0 million as of September 30, 2019. This resulted in an impairment loss of $5.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

On September 25, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Genco Thunder, a 2007-built Panamax vessel, for $10.4 million less a 2.0% broker commission payable to a third party. Therefore, the vessel value for the Genco Thunder was adjusted to its net sales price of $10.2 million as of September 30, 2019. This resulted in an impairment loss of $5.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

~~On August 2~~, 2019, we entered into an agreement to sell the Genco Challenger, a 2003-built Handysize vessel, for $5,250 less a 2.0% broker commission payable to a third party. As the anticipated undiscounted cash flows, including the net sales price, did not exceed the net book value of the vessel as of June 30, 2019, we reduced the carrying value of the Genco Challenger to the net sales price on June 30, 2019~~. This resulted in an impairment loss of $4.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.~~

At June 30, 2019, we determined that the expected estimated future undiscounted cash flows for the Genco Champion, a 2006-built Handysize vessel, and the Genco Charger, a 2005-built Handysize vessel, did not exceed the net book value of these vessels as of June 30, 2019. As such, we adjusted the value of these vessels to their respective fair market values as of June 30, 2019. This resulted in an impairment loss of $9.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019

On July 24, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Genco Surprise. As the anticipated undiscounted cash flows, including the net sales price, did not exceed the net book value of the vessel as of June 30, 2018, we reduced the carrying value of the Genco Surprise to the net sales price on June 30, 2018. This resulted in an impairment loss of $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

~~Table of Contents~~

On February 27, 2018, our Board of Directors determined to dispose of the Company’s following nine vessels; the Genco Cavalier, the Genco Loire, the Genco Lorraine, the Genco Muse, the Genco Normandy, the Baltic Cougar, the Baltic Jaguar, the Baltic Leopard and the Baltic Panther, at times and on terms to be determined in the future. Given this decision, and that the estimated future undiscounted cash flows for each of these older vessels did not exceed the net book value for each vessel, we have adjusted the values of these older vessels to their respective fair market values during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This resulted in an impairment loss of $56.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

~~Refer to Note 2~~ — ~~Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement for further information.~~

~~GAIN ON SALE OF VESSELS-~~

~~During the nine months ended September 30,~~ 2019, we recorded a net gain on sale of vessels of $0.6 million related primarily to the sale of the Genco Vigour on January 28, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a net gain on sale of vessels of $1.5 million related to the sale of the Genco Progress and the Genco Surprise during the third quarter of 2018.

NET INTEREST EXPENSE –

Net interest expense decreased by ~~$0.3~~$0.9 million from ~~$21.5~~$7.2 million during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 to ~~$21.2~~$6.4 million during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. Net interest expense during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019 ~~and 2018~~ consisted of interest expense under our credit facilities and amortization of deferred financing costs for those facilities. This decrease was primarily due to a ~~$0.5~~$1.6 million ~~increase~~decrease in interest expense as a result of lower interest rates, as well as lower outstanding debt. This was offset by a $0.7 million decrease in interest income ~~during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period during 2018~~ due to ~~an increase~~a decrease in interest earned on our time deposits and ~~our~~ cash accounts. Refer to Note 7 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our credit facilities.

~~IMPAIRMENT OF RIGHT-OF-USE ASSET~~ –

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized $0.2 million of impairment charges on its operating lease right-of-use asset in accordance with ASC 360. Refer to Note 13 — Leases in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

~~LOSS ON DEBT EXTINGUISHMENT –~~

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a $4.5 million loss on debt extinguishment as a result of the refinancing of our $400 Million Credit Facility, $98 Million Credit Facility and 2014 Term Loan Facilities with the $460 Million Credit Facility on June 5, 2018. Refer to Note 7 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our credit facilities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations, cash on hand, equity offerings and credit facility borrowings. We currently use our funds primarily for the acquisition of vessels generally and under our ongoing fleet renewal program, drydocking for our vessels, and satisfying working capital requirements as may be needed to support our business and make required payments under our indebtedness. Our ability to continue to meet our liquidity needs is subject to and will be affected by cash utilized in operations, the economic or business environment in which we operate, shipping industry conditions, the financial condition of our customers, vendors and service providers, our ability to comply with the financial and other covenants of our indebtedness, and other factors.

We ~~expect~~believe, given our current cash holdings, if drybulk shipping rates do not decline significantly from current levels, our capital resources, including cash anticipated to be generated within the year, are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. Such resources include unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $134.3 million as of March 31, 2020, which compares to a minimum liquidity requirement under our credit facilities of approximately $37 million as of the date of this report. Given quarterly amortization payments of $18.2 million under our credit facilities, anticipated capital expenditures related to drydockings and the installation of ballast water treatment systems (“BWTS”), as well as any quarterly dividend payments, we anticipate to continue to have significant cash expenditures. However, if market conditions were to worsen significantly due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, then our cash resources may decline to a level that may put at risk our ~~fuel costs~~ability to service timely our debt and capital expenditure commitments.

Our credit facilities contain collateral maintenance covenants that require the aggregate appraised value of collateral vessels to be at least 135% of the principal amount of the loan outstanding under each such facility. If the values of our ~~fuel inventories will increase in 2019~~vessels were to decline further significantly as a result of ~~sulfur emission regulations due~~COVID-19 or otherwise, we may not satisfy this collateral maintenance requirement. Any borrowings under the $25 million revolving credit facility we are negotiating that is further described below may make it more difficult to ~~take effect on January 1, 2020.~~

satisfy the collateral maintenance requirement under our

$108 Million Credit Facility. If we do not satisfy the collateral maintenance requirement, we will need to post additional collateral or prepay outstanding loans to bring us back into compliance, or we will need to seek waivers, which may not be available or may be subject to conditions.

~~On June 19, 2018,~~In the future, we ~~closed an~~may require capital to fund acquisitions or to improve or support our ongoing operations and debt structure, particularly in light of economic conditions resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We may from time to time seek to raise additional capital through equity ~~offering~~or debt offerings, selling vessels or other assets, pursuing strategic opportunities, or otherwise. We may also from time to time seek to incur additional debt financing from private or public sector sources, refinance our indebtedness or obtain waivers or modifications to our credit agreements to obtain more favorable terms, enhance flexibility in conducting our business, or otherwise. We may also seek to manage our interest rate exposure through hedging transactions. We may seek to accomplish any of ~~7,015,000 shares~~these independently or in conjunction with one or more of common stock at an offering price of $16.50 per share. We received net proceeds of approximately $109.6 million after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions and other expenses. We used the net proceedsthese actions. However, if market conditions are unfavorable, we may be unable to ~~finance a portion~~accomplish any of the ~~purchase price~~foregoing on acceptable terms or at all.

We entered into the $495 Million Credit Facility on May 31, 2018, which was initially used to refinance our prior credit facilities: the $400 Million Credit Facility, the $98 Million Credit Facility and the 2014 Term Loan Facilities on June 5, 2018 and originally allowed borrowings of up to $460 million. On February 28, 2019, we entered into an amendment to the $495 Million Credit Facility that provides for an additional tranche of up to $35 million to finance a portion of the acquisitions, installations, and related costs for exhaust cleaning systems (or “scrubbers”) for 17 of the Company’s Capesize vessels. Additionally, we entered into the $108 Million Credit Facility on August 14, 2018 to finance a portion of the purchase price for the six vessels that were purchased during the third quarter of 2018. Refer to Note 7 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We are in the process of negotiating a revolving credit facility with lenders of our current bank group for up to $25 million, which we expect will be collateralized by the vessels in our $108 Million Credit Facility. There can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into this facility or obtain funding under it on favorable terms or at all.

At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the $495 Million Credit facility and the $108 Million Credit Facility.

We believe our capital resources are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. Given the commencement of quarterly amortization payments of $16.6 million under our credit facilities on December 31, 2018, anticipated capital expenditures relating to installation of ballast water treatment systems (“BWTS”) and scrubbers on our vessels for environmental regulatory compliance during 2019, as well as the payment of the $0.175 dividend per share and the payment of the $0.325 special dividend per share during the fourth quarter of 2019, we anticipate that our cash expenditures will increase.

We intend to finance a significant portion of the cost associated with scrubbers on our vessels with borrowings as described above and further under “Capital Expenditures” below. Moreover, in the future, we may require capital to fund acquisitions or to improve or support our ongoing operations and debt structure. We may from time to time seek to raise additional capital through equity or debt offerings, selling vessels or other assets, pursuing strategic opportunities, or otherwise. We may also from time to time seek to refinance our indebtedness or obtain waivers or modifications to our credit agreements to obtain more favorable terms, enhance flexibility in conducting our business, or otherwise. We may seek to accomplish any of these independently or in conjunction with one or more of these actions. However, if market conditions are unfavorable, we may be unable to accomplish any of the foregoing on acceptable terms or at all.

Dividends

Our Board of Directors has adopted a quarterly dividend policy to pay a dividend of $0.175 per share. However, in light of ongoing market weakness and heightened economic uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our Board of Directors determined it would be prudent to reduce our regular quarterly dividend following its quarterly review in order to support our balance sheet and liquidity position and better position us for an eventual economic recovery. Accordingly, on ~~November~~May 6, ~~2019,~~2020, we announced a quarterly dividend of ~~$0.175 per share as well as a special dividend of $0.325~~$0.02 per share. Our ~~quarterly dividend policy and declaration and~~Board expects to reassess the payment of dividends ~~are subject~~as appropriate from time to legally available funds, compliance with law and contractual obligations and our Board of Directors’ determination that each declaration and payment is in the best interest of the Company and our shareholders.time. Our declaration and payment of dividends is subject to a number of conditions and restrictions as described below.

On November 5, 2019, we entered into amendments with our lenders to the dividend covenants of the credit agreements for our $495 Million Credit Facility and our $108 Million Credit Facility. Under the terms of these two facilities as so amended, dividends or repurchases of our stock are subject to customary conditions. We may pay dividends or repurchase stock under these facilities to the extent our total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents are greater than $100 million and 18.75% of our total indebtedness, whichever is higher; if we cannot satisfy this condition, we are subject to a limitation of 50% of consolidated net income for the quarter preceding such dividend payment or stock repurchase if the collateral maintenance test ratio is 200% or less for such quarter, for which purpose the full commitment of up to $35 million of our new scrubber tranche is assumed to be drawn. At March 31, 2020, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $134.3 million. We have commitments for amortization payments expected to be $18.2 million per quarter for 2020, or $20.2 million from September 30, 2020 onward, if we draw in full the $25 million credit facility we are negotiating. Therefore, if we do not generate cash flow from operations, we would be unlikely to be able to declare or pay dividends after the end of 2020, assuming we draw such facility in full (or earlier if we do not), except to the extent of permissible dividends from net income.

The declaration and payment of any dividend or any stock repurchase is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors and management continue to closely monitor market developments together with the evaluation of our quarterly dividend policy in the current market environment. The principal business factors that our Board of Directors expects to consider when determining the timing and amount of dividend payments or stock repurchases include our earnings, financial condition, and cash requirements at the time. Marshall Islands law generally prohibits the declaration and payment of dividends or stock repurchases other than from surplus. Marshall Islands law also prohibits the declaration and payment of dividends or stock repurchases while a company is insolvent or would be rendered insolvent by the payment of such a dividend or such a stock repurchase. Ongoing market weakness and heightened economic uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic conditions may result in our suspension, reduction, or termination of future quarterly dividends.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of Dividends

U.S. Holders

For purposes of this discussion, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of our common stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual U.S. citizen or resident, (ii) a corporation that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, or any other U.S. entity taxable as a corporation, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if either (x) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (y) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. If a partnership, or an entity treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership, such as a limited liability company, holds common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner in such a partnership holding our common stock, you are encouraged to consult your tax advisor. A beneficial owner of our common stock (other than a partnership) that is not a U.S. Holder is referred to below as a "Non-U.S. Holder."

Subject to the discussion of passive foreign investment company (PFIC) status on pages ~~41-42~~41 – 42 in the ~~2018~~2019 10-K, any distributions made by us to a U.S. Holder with respect to our common shares generally will constitute dividends to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of those earnings and profits will be treated first as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder's tax basis in our common shares (determined on a share-by-share basis), and thereafter as capital gain. ~~Because we are not a U.S. corporation,~~ U.S. Holders that ~~are corporations will not be entitled to claim a dividends-received deduction with respect to any distributions they receive from us (provided, however, that a U.S. corporation that owns~~own at least 10% of our shares may be able to claim a dividends-received-deduction and should consult ~~its~~their tax ~~advisor).~~advisors.

Dividends paid on our common shares to a U.S. Holder who is an individual, trust or estate, or a "non-corporate U.S. Holder," will generally be treated as "qualified dividend income" that is taxable to such non-corporate U.S. Holder at preferential tax rates, provided that (1) our common shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States (such as the NYSE, on which our common shares are traded); (2) we are not a PFIC for the taxable year during which the dividend is paid or the immediately preceding taxable year (which we do not believe we have been, are, or will be); (3) the non-corporate U.S. ~~Holder 's~~Holder's holding period of our common shares includes more than 60 days in the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the date on which our common shares becomes ex-dividend; and (4) the non-corporate U.S. Holder is not under an obligation to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. A non-corporate U.S. Holder will be able to take qualified dividend income into account in determining its deductible investment interest (which is generally limited to its net investment income) only if it elects to do so; in such case, the dividend will be taxed at ordinary income rates. Non-corporate U.S. Holders also may be required to pay a 3.8% surtax on all or part of such holder's "net investment income," which includes, among other items, dividends on our shares, subject to certain limitations and exceptions. Investors are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this surtax on their ownership of our shares.

Amounts taxable as dividends generally will be treated as passive income from sources outside the U.S. However, if (a) we are 50% or more owned, by vote or value, by U.S. Holders and (b) at least 10% of our earnings and profits are attributable to sources within the U.S., then for foreign tax credit purposes, a portion of our dividends would

Table of Contents

be treated as derived from sources within the U.S. With respect to any dividend paid for any taxable year, the U.S. source ratio of our dividends for foreign tax credit purposes would be equal to the portion of our earnings and profits from sources within the U.S. for such taxable year divided by the total amount of our earnings and profits for such taxable

~~Table of Contents~~

year. The rules related to U.S. foreign tax credits are complex and U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors to determine whether and to what extent a credit would be available.

Special rules may apply to any "extraordinary dividend" — generally, a dividend in an amount which is equal to or in excess of 10% of a shareholder's adjusted basis (or fair market value in certain circumstances) in a share of our common shares — paid by us. If we pay an "extraordinary dividend" on our common shares that is treated as "qualified dividend income", then any loss derived by a non-corporate U.S. Holder from the sale or exchange of such common shares will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of such dividend.

Tax Consequences if We Are a Passive Foreign Investment Company

As discussed in “U.S. tax authorities could treat us as a ‘passive foreign investment company,’ which could have adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. shareholders” in Item 1.A Risk Factors in our 2019 10-K, a foreign corporation generally will be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes if, after applying certain look through rules, either (1) at least 75% of its gross income for any taxable year consists of “passive income” or (2) at least 50% of the average value or adjusted bases of its assets (determined on a quarterly basis) produce or are held for the production of passive income, i.e., “passive assets.” As discussed above, we do not believe that our past or existing operations would cause, or would have caused, us to be deemed a PFIC with respect to any taxable year. No assurance can be given that the IRS or a court of law will accept our position, and there is a risk that the IRS or a court of law could determine that we are a PFIC. Moreover, there can be no assurance that we will not become a PFIC in any future taxable year because the PFIC test is an annual test, there are uncertainties in the application of the PFIC rules, and although we intend to manage our business so as to avoid PFIC status to the extent consistent with our other business goals, there could be changes in the nature and extent of our operations in future taxable years.

If we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year in which a U.S. Holder owns shares of our common stock (and regardless of whether we remain a PFIC for subsequent taxable years), the tax consequences to such a U.S. holder upon the receipt of distributions in respect of such shares that are treated as “excess distributions” would differ from those described above. In general, an excess distribution is the amount of distributions received during a taxable year that exceed 125% of the average amount of distributions received by a U.S. Holder in respect of the common shares during the preceding three taxable years, or if shorter, during the U.S. Holder’s holding period prior to the taxable year of the distribution. The distributions that are excess distributions would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the common shares. The amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we were a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each of the other taxable years would be subject to tax at the highest marginal rate in effect for the U.S. Holder for that taxable year, and an interest charge for the deemed deferral benefit would be imposed on the resulting tax allocated to such other taxable years. The tax liability with respect to the amount allocated to taxable years prior to the year of the distribution cannot be offset by net operating losses. As an alternative to such tax treatment, a U.S. Holder may make a “qualified electing fund” election or “mark to market” election, to the extent available, in which event different rules would apply. The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder if we were to be classified as a PFIC are complex. A U.S. Holder should consult with his or her own advisor with regard to those consequences, as well as with regard to whether he or she is eligible to and should make either of the elections described above.

Non-U.S. Holders

Non-U.S. Holders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on dividends received from us on our common shares unless the income is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States (“effectively connected income”) (and, if an applicable income tax treaty so provides, the dividends are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the U.S.). Effectively connected income (or, if an income tax treaty applies, income attributable to a permanent establishment maintained in the U.S.) generally will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax in the same manner discussed above relating to taxation of U.S. Holders. In addition, earnings and profits of a corporate Non-U.S. Holder that are attributable to such

Table of Contents

income, as determined after allowance for certain adjustments, may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30%, or at a lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. Non-U.S. Holders may be subject to tax in jurisdictions other than the United States on dividends received from us on our common shares.

Dividends paid on our common shares to a non-corporate U.S. Holder may be subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax if the non-corporate U.S. Holder:

fails to provide us with an accurate taxpayer identification number;

is notified by the IRS that they have become subject to backup withholding because they previously failed to report all interest orand dividends required to be shown on their federal income tax returns; or

fails to comply with applicable certification ~~requirements.~~requirements

A holder that is not a U.S. Holder or a partnership may be subject to U.S. federal backup withholding with respect to such dividends unless the holder certifies that it is a non-U.S. person, under penalties of perjury, or otherwise establishes an exemption therefrom. Backup withholding tax is not an additional tax. Holders generally may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld under backup withholding rules that exceed their income tax liability by timely filing a refund claim with the IRS.

You are encouraged to consult your own tax advisor concerning the overall tax consequences arising in your own particular situation under U.S. federal, state, local, or foreign law from the payment of dividends on our common stock.

Cash Flow

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $4.0 million as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $11.6 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2019. This decrease in cash provided by operating activities was ~~$28.8~~primarily due to an increase in amounts due from charterers as of March 31, 2020 based on the timing of freight payments and the percentage completion of spot voyages for our vessels, an increase in drydocking related expenditures and other changes in working capital.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $5.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to ~~$43.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Included in the~~ net loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $26.1 million of non-cash impairment charges, a gain of $0.6 million arising from the sale of the Genco Vigour, $0.9 million of non-cash lease expense and a loss of $0.2 million related to the non-cash impairment of our right-of-use operating lease asset. Included in the net loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $56.6 million of non-cash impairment charges, as well as a $4.5 million loss on the extinguishment of debt, a gain of $1.5 million arising from the sale of two vessels and a $5.3 million payment on the $400 Million Credit Facility. Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased by $3.9 million primarily due to depreciation expense for the six vessels delivered during the third quarter of 2018, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense for the eight vessels that were sold during the second half of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019. Additionally, there was an $8.2 million increase in the fluctuation in due from charterers due to the timing of payments received from charterers and a $5.3 million increase in the fluctuation in prepaid expenses and other current assets due to the timing of payments. Lastly, there was a $21.2 million increase in the

~~Table of Contents~~

fluctuation in inventories associated with vessels on spot market voyage charters. These increases were partially offset by a $9.7 million increase in deferred drydocking costs as there were more vessels that completed drydocking during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period during 2018. There was also a $5.1 million and $3.1 million decrease in the fluctuation of deferred revenue and accounts payable and accrued expenses, respectively, due to the timing of payments made.

~~Net~~ cash used in investing activities ~~was $31.8~~of $4.1 million during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019 as compared to $226.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Net cash used in financing activities during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019 was ~~$33.5~~$14.3 million ~~as compared~~and $17.3 million, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to ~~net cash provided by financing activities of $144.2~~the $11.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Net cash used in financing activities of $33.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 consisted primarily of the following: $49.6 million repayment of debt under the $495 Million Credit Facility; $4.7 million repayment of debt under the $108 Million Credit Facility; $0.6 million payment of deferred financing costs; and $0.1 million payment of common stock issuance costs. These cash outflows were partially offset by total drawdowns of $21.5 million underdrawdown on the $495 Million Credit Facility during the ~~nine months ended September 30, 2019. Net cash provided by financing activities~~first quarter of ~~$144.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 consisted primarily of the~~ $460.0 million drawdown on the $460 Million Credit Facility, the $108.0 million drawdown on the $108 Million Credit Facility and the net proceeds from the issuance of common stock on June 19, 2018 of $109.8 million2020, partially offset by the following: $399.6 million repayment of debt under the $400 Million Credit Facility; $93.9 million repayment of debt under the $98 Million Credit Facility; $25.5 million repayment of debt under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities; $11.5a $7.3 million payment of ~~deferred financing costs; and $3.0 million payment of debt extinguishment costs. On August 14, 2018, we entered into the $108 Million Credit Facility to finance a portion of the purchase price for the six vessels acquired~~dividends during the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2018. On June 5, 2018,~~2020 and a $1.7 million increase in repayments under the $495 Million Credit Facility refinanced the following three existing credit facilities with its original $460 million tranche; the $400 Million Credit Facility, the $98 Million Credit Facility and the 2014 Term Loan Facilities. Additionally, on February 28, 2019, the $495 Million Credit Facility was amended to add a tranche of $35 million for the purchase of scrubbers in addition to the original $460 million tranche used for the refinancing on June 5, 2018.Facility.

Credit Facilities

Refer to Note 7 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our current credit facilities, including the underlying financial and non-financial covenants. We entered into the $108 Million Credit Facility on August 14, 2018 to finance a portion of the purchase price for the six vessels that were purchased during the third quarter of 2018. Additionally, we entered into the $495 Million Credit Facility on May 31, 2018, which was initially used to refinance our prior credit facilities: the $400 Million Credit Facility, the $98 Million Credit Facility and the 2014 Term Loan Facilities on June 5, 2018. On February 28, 2019, we entered into an amendment to the $495 Million Credit Facility, which provides for an additional tranche of up to $35 million to finance a portion of the acquisitions, installations, and related costs for exhaust cleaning systems (or “scrubbers”) for 17 of our Capesize vessels.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements, Forward Freight Agreements and Currency Swap Agreements

At ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, we did not have any interest rate swap agreements. As part of our business strategy, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. In determining the fair value of interest rate derivatives, we would consider the creditworthiness of both the counterparty and ourselves immaterial. Valuations prior to any adjustments for credit risk would be validated by comparison with counterparty valuations. Amounts would not and should not be identical due to the different modeling assumptions. Any material differences would be investigated.

AsAs part of our business strategy, we may enter into arrangements commonly known as forward freight agreements, or FFAs, to hedge and manage our exposure to the charter market risks relating to the deployment of our vessels. Generally, these arrangements would bind us and each counterparty in the arrangement to buy or sell a specified tonnage freighting commitment “forward” at an agreed time and price and for a particular route. Upon settlement, if the contracted charter rate is less than the average of the rates (as reported by an identified index) for the specified route and period, the seller of the FFA is required to pay the buyer an amount equal to the difference between the contracted rate and the settlement rate multiplied by the number of days in the specific period. Conversely, if the contracted rate is greater than the settlement rate, the buyer is required to pay the seller the settlement sum. Although FFAs can be entered into for a variety of purposes, including for hedging, as an option, for trading or for arbitrage, if we decided to enter into FFAs, our objective would be to hedge and manage market risks as part of our commercial management. It is not currently our intention to enter into FFAs to generate a stream of income independent of the revenues we derive from the operation of our fleet of vessels. If we determine to enter into FFAs, we may reduce our exposure to any declines in our results from operations due to weak market conditions or downturns, but may also limit our ability to benefit economically during periods of strong demand in the market. We have not entered into any FFAs as of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

Contractual Obligations

The following table sets forth our contractual obligations and their scheduled maturity dates as of ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. The table incorporates the employment agreement entered into in September 2007 with our Chief Executive Officer and President, John C. Wobensmith, as amended.

Interest expense has been estimated using ~~1.82%~~0.44% based on one-month LIBOR plus the average applicable margin of 3.25% for the $460 million tranche of the $495 Million Credit Facility, 2.50% for the $35 million tranche of the $495 Million Credit facility and 2.50% for the $108 Million Credit Facility.

Capital Expenditures

We make capital expenditures from time to time in connection with our vessel acquisitions. Our fleet currently consists of 5653 drybulk vessels, including 17 Capesize ~~drybulk carriers, two Panamax~~ drybulk carriers, six Ultramax drybulk carriers, 20 Supramax drybulk carriers and 1110 Handysize drybulk carriers.

As previously announced, we have implemented a fuel efficiency upgrade program for certain of our vessels in an effort to generate fuel savings and increase the future earnings potential for these vessels. The upgrades have been successfully installed on 17 of our vessels in the aggregate during ~~planned~~previous drydockings ~~from 2014 to 2017.~~

Under U.S. Federal law and 33 CFR, Part 151, Subpart D, U.S. approved BWTS will be required to be installed in all vessels at the first out of water drydocking after January 1, 2016 if these vessels are to discharge ballast water inside 12 nautical miles of the coast of the U.S. U.S. authorities did not approve ballast water treatment systems until December 2016. Therefore, the U.S. Coast Guard (“USCG”) has granted us extensions for our vessels with 2016 drydocking deadlines until January 1, 2018; however, an alternative management system (“AMS”) may be installed in lieu. For example, in February 2015, the USCG added Bawat to the list of ballast water treatment systems that received AMS acceptance. An AMS is valid for five years from the date of required compliance with ballast water discharge standards, by which time it must be replaced by an approved system unless the AMS itself achieves approval. Furthermore, we received extensions for vessels drydocking in 2016 that allowed for further extensions to the vessels’ next scheduled drydockings in year 2021. Additionally, for our vessels that were scheduled to drydock in 2017 and 2018, the USCG has granted an extension that enables us to defer installation to the next scheduled out of water drydocking. Any newbuilding vessels that we acquire will have a USCG approved system or at least an AMS installed when the vessel is being built.

In addition, on September 8, 2016, the Ballast Water Management (“BWM”) Convention was ratified and had an original effective date of September 8, 2017. However, on July 7, 2017, the effective date of the BWM Convention was extended two years to September 8, 2019 for existing ships. This will require vessels to have a BWTS installed to coincide with the vessels’ next International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate (“IOPP”) renewal survey after September 8, 2019. In order for a vessel to trade in U.S. waters, it must be compliant with the installation date as required by the USCG as outlined above.

During the second half of 2018, we entered into agreements for the purchase of BWTS for 4342 of our vessels. The cost of these systems will vary based on the size and specifications of each vessel and whether the systems will be installed in China. Based on the contractual purchase price of the BWTS and the estimated installation fees, the Company estimates the cost of the systems to be approximately ~~$0.8~~$0.9 million for Capesize, ~~$0.5 million for Panamax, $0.5~~$0.6 million for Supramax and $0.5 million for Handysize vessels. These costs will be capitalized and depreciated over the remainder of the life of the vessel. During 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, we completed the installation of BWTS on 17 and two of our vessels, respectively. We intend to fund the remaining BWTS purchase price and installation fees using cash on hand.

Under maritime regulations ~~due to take~~that went into effect on January 1, 2020, our vessels ~~such as ours will have~~were required to reduce sulfur emissions, for which the principal solutions are the use of scrubbers or buying fuel with low sulfur content. We have ~~entered into agreements to install~~completed the installation of scrubbers on our 17 Capesize ~~vessels.~~vessels, 16 of which were completed as of December 31, 2019 and the last one of which was completed on January 17, 2020. The ~~balance~~remainder of our vessels are ~~expected to consume compliant, low sulfur fuel, but we will continue to evaluate other options. We anticipate~~consuming VLSFO. The costs for the scrubber ~~installation on the 17 Capesize vessels to be completed in 2019~~equipment and ~~estimate that the cost of each scrubber, including~~ installation ~~will be approximately $2.25 million per vessel, which may vary according to the specifications of our vessels and technical aspects of the installation, among other variables. These costs~~ will be capitalized and depreciated over the remainder of the life of the vessel. This does not include any lost revenue associated with offhire days due to the installation of the scrubbers. During February 2019, we entered into an amendment to our $495 Million Credit Facility for an additional tranche of up to $35 million to cover a portion of the expenses to the acquisition and installation of scrubbers on our 17 Capesize vessels. We intend to fund the remainder of the costs with cash on hand. ~~The estimated costs and off-hire days associated with the installation of the scrubbers are included in the expenditure table below.~~ For

In addition to acquisitions that we may undertake in future periods, we will incur additional expenditures due to special surveys and drydockings for our fleet. Through March 31, 2020, we have paid $39.5 million in cash installments towards our scrubber program and have drawn down $32.8 million under the scrubber tranche under our $495 Million Credit Facility. While we completed 16 scrubber retrofits during 2019 and one in January 2020, due to the timing of cash flows, we have approximately $3.0 million relating to our scrubber program currently recorded in accounts payable as of March 31, 2020, which we plan to pay during the second quarter of 2020.

We estimate our drydocking costs, including capitalized costs incurred during drydocking related to vessel assets and vessel equipment, BWTS costs, ~~scrubber costs~~ and scheduled off-hire days for our fleet through ~~2020~~2021 to be:

The costs reflected are estimates based on drydocking our vessels in China. Actual costs will vary based on various factors, including where the drydockings are actually performed. We expect to fund these costs with cash on hand (with the exception of certain scrubber costs as noted above). These costs do not include drydock expense items that are reflected in vessel operating expenses.

Actual length of drydocking will vary based on the condition of the vessel, yard schedules and other factors. Higher repairs and maintenance expense during drydocking for vessels which are over 15 years old typically result in a higher number of off-hire days depending on the condition of the vessel.

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ we incurred a total of ~~$12.0~~$2.8 million and ~~$2.2~~$0.4 million of drydocking costs, respectively, excluding costs incurred during drydocking that were capitalized to vessel assets or vessel equipment.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we paid a total of $24.7 million in cash installments towards our scrubber program and drew down $21.5 million under the scrubber tranche under our $495 Million Credit Facility. We anticipate paying approximately $13.5 million of additional cash installments towards our scrubber program, for which we can draw down approximately $11.5 million under our $495 Million Credit Facility.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Inflation

Inflation has only a moderate effect on our expenses given current economic conditions. In the event that significant global inflationary pressures appear, these pressures would increase our operating, voyage, general and administrative, and financing costs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no changes or updates to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in the 2018 10-K, with the exception of new lease accounting pronouncements adopted as of January 1, 2019. Refer to “Recent accounting pronouncements” in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference, for further information.2019 10-K.

Vessels and Depreciation

We record the value of our vessels at their cost (which includes acquisition costs directly attributable to the vessel and expenditures made to prepare the vessel for its initial voyage) less accumulated depreciation. We depreciate our drybulk vessels on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, estimated to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Depreciation is based on cost less the estimated residual scrap value of $310/lwt based on the 15-year average scrap value of steel. An increase in the residual value of the vessels will decrease the annual depreciation charge over the remaining useful life of the vessels. Similarly, an increase in the useful life of a drybulk vessel would also decrease the annual depreciation charge. Comparatively, a decrease in the useful life of a drybulk vessel or in its residual value would have the effect of increasing the annual depreciation charge. However, when regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, we will adjust the vessel’s useful life to end at the date such regulations preclude such vessel’s further commercial use.

The carrying value of each of our vessels does not represent the fair market value of such vessel or the amount we could obtain if we were to sell any of our vessels, which could be more or less. Under U.S. GAAP, we would not record a loss if the fair market value of a vessel (excluding its charter) is below our carrying value unless and until we determine to sell that vessel or the vessel is impaired as discussed in the ~~2018~~2019 10-K. As of September 30, 2019, excluding the three Bourbon vessels we resold immediately upon delivery to MEP at our cost, we have sold 21 of our vessels since our inception and realized a profit in each instance, with the exception of the Genco Marine which was scrapped on May 17, 2016, the Genco Surprise which was sold during the third quarter of 2018, and the Genco Muse which was sold during the fourth quarter of 2018.

During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we recorded losses of ~~$12.2~~$112.8 million ~~and $26.1 million, respectively,~~ related to the impairment of vessel assets. There was ~~$5.9~~$85.8 million of impairment expense recorded during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 for the ~~Genco Raptor. On November 4, 2019, we entered into an agreement to sell~~remaining ten of our Handysize vessels; the Baltic Hare, the Baltic Fox, the Baltic Wind, the Baltic Cove, the Baltic Breeze, the Genco Raptor. As the anticipated undiscounted cash flows, including the net sales price, did not exceed the net book value of the vessel at September 30, 2019, the vessel value was adjusted to its net sales price as of September 30, 2019. During September 2019, we entered into an agreement to sellOcean, the Genco ~~Thunder~~Bay, the Genco Avra, the Genco Mare and the Genco Champion and the vessel values were written down to their net sales price as of September 30, 2019 which resulted in an impairment loss of $5.7 million and $0.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. There was also $4.4 million of impairment expense recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 for the Genco Challenger. On August 2, 2019, we entered into an agreement to sell the Genco Challenger. As the anticipated undiscounted cash flows, including the net sales price, did not exceed the net book value of the vessel at June 30, 2019, the vessel value was adjusted to its net sales price as of June 30, 2019. Lastly, at June 30, 2019, the Company determined that the expected estimated future undiscounted cash flows for the Genco Champion and the Genco Charger did not exceed the net book value of these vessels as of June 30, 2019. As such, the Company adjusted the value of these vessels to their respective fair market values as of June 30, 2019. This resulted in an impairment loss of $9.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded losses of $0 and $56.6 million, respectively, related to the impairment of vessel assets. There was $0.2 million of impairment expense recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 for the Genco Surprise. On July 24, 2018 we entered into an agreement to sell the Genco Surprise. As the anticipated undiscounted cash flows, including the net sales price, did not exceed the net book value of the vessel at June 30, 2018, the vessel value was adjusted to its net sales price as of June 30, 2018. Additionally, there was $56.4 million of impairment expense recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 for nine of our vessels; the Genco Cavalier, the Genco Loire, the Genco Lorraine, the Genco Muse, the Genco Normandy, the Baltic Cougar, the Baltic Jaguar, the Baltic Leopard and the Baltic Panther.Spirit. On February ~~27, 2018,~~24, 2020, our

~~Table of Contents~~

Board of Directors determined to dispose of these vessels at times and on terms to be determined in the future. ~~As such,~~Given this decision, and that the revised estimated future undiscounted cash flows for each of these older vessels did not exceed the net book value for each vessel given the estimated probabilities of whether the vessels will be sold, we adjusted the values of these older vessels ~~and the vessel values were adjusted~~ to their respective fair market values during the first quarter of 2020. Subsequent to February 24, 2020, we have entered into agreements to sell three of these vessels during the first quarter of 2020, namely the Baltic Wind, the Baltic Breeze and the Genco Bay, which ~~resulted in an impairment loss.~~were adjusted to their net sales price. Refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Additionally, at March 31, 2020, we determined that the expected estimated future undiscounted cash flows for four of our Supramax vessels; the Genco Picardy, the Genco Predator, the Genco Provence and the Genco Warrior; did not exceed the net book value of these vessels as of March 31, 2020. As such, we adjusted the carrying value of these vessels to their respective fair market values as of March 31, 2020. This resulted in an impairment loss of $27.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

There was no impairment of vessel assets recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Pursuant to our credit facilities, we regularly submit to the ~~lenders~~lenders’ valuations of our vessels on an individual charter free basis in order to evidence our compliance with the collateral maintenance covenants under our credit facilities. Such a valuation is not necessarily the same as the amount any vessel may bring upon sale, which may be more or less, and should not be relied upon as such. We were in compliance with the collateral maintenance covenant under our $495 Million Credit Facility and $108 Million Credit Facility as of ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. Refer to Note 7 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. We obtained valuations for all of the vessels in our fleet pursuant to the terms of the $495 Million Credit Facility and the $108 Million Credit Facility. In the chart below, we list each of our vessels, the year it was built, the year we acquired it, and its carrying value at ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. Vessels have been grouped according to their collateralized status as of ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. The carrying value of the ten Handysize vessels and four Supramax vessels as noted above reflect the impairment loss recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The carrying value of the Genco ~~Raptor, Genco~~ Thunder ~~Genco Challenger, Genco Champion~~ and Genco Charger at ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2019 reflect the impairment loss recorded during ~~the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The carrying value of the Genco Loire, Genco Lorraine, Genco Normandy, Baltic Cougar, Baltic Jaguar, Baltic Leopard and Baltic Panther at September 30,~~ 2019 ~~and December 31, 2018 reflect the impairment loss recorded during 2018~~ for these vessels. ~~The carrying value of the Genco Vigour at December 31, 2018 reflects the impairment loss recorded during 2017 for this vessel.~~

At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the vessel valuations of all of our vessels for covenant compliance purposes under our credit facilities as of the most recent compliance testing date were lower than their carrying values at ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, with the exception of the Baltic Hare, the Baltic Wind, the Baltic Cove, the Baltic Breeze, the Genco ~~Raptor,~~Ocean, the Genco ~~Thunder,~~Bay, the Genco ~~Challenger~~Avra, the Genco Mare, the Genco Spirit, the Genco Picardy, the Genco Predator, the Genco Provence and the Genco ~~Champion,~~ Warrior, which were impaired during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 as noted ~~above, and the Genco Weatherly.~~above. At December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the vessel valuations of all of our vessels for covenant compliance purposes under our credit facility as of the most recent compliance testing date were lower than their carrying values at December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, with the exception of the ~~Baltic Lion,~~ Genco ~~Tiger, Genco Weatherly, and Genco Vigour.~~Charger, which was impaired during the year ended December 31, 2019.

The amount by which the carrying value at ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 of all of the vessels in our fleet, with the exception of the ~~four~~13 aforementioned vessels, exceeded the valuation of such vessels for covenant compliance purposes ranged, on an individual vessel basis, from ~~$0.3~~$0.1 million to ~~$16.6~~$18.5 million per vessel, and ~~$367.5~~$340.0 million on an aggregate fleet basis. The amount by which the carrying value at December 31, ~~2018~~2019 of all of the vessels in our fleet, with the exception of the ~~four~~one aforementioned ~~vessels,~~vessel, exceeded the valuation of such vessels for covenant compliance purposes ranged, on an individual vessel basis, from ~~$1.1~~$1.3 million to ~~$14.9~~$18.1 million per vessel, and ~~$336.3~~$419.4 million on an aggregate fleet basis. The average amount by which the carrying value of our vessels exceeded the valuation of such vessels for covenant compliance purposes was ~~$6.9~~$8.5 million at ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~$6.1~~$7.8 million as of December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. However, neither such valuation nor the carrying value in the table below reflects the value of long-term time charters, if any, related to some of our vessels.

If we were to sell a vessel or hold a vessel for sale, and the carrying value of the vessel were to exceed its fair market value, we would record a loss in the amount of the difference.

Statements for information regarding the sale of vessel assets and the classification of the vessel assets held for sale as of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest rate risk

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes. Our objective is to manage the impact of interest rate changes on our earnings and cash flow in relation to our borrowings. At ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, we did not have any interest rate swap agreements to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates.

We are subject to market risks relating to changes in LIBOR rates because we have significant amounts of floating rate debt outstanding. During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ we were subject to the following interest rates on the outstanding debt under our credit facilities (Refer to Note 7 — Debt of our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information):

$108 Million Credit Facility — one-month LIBOR plus 2.50% effective ~~during the third quarter of 2018. We drew down $51.8 million on~~ August 17, 2018 ~~$22.1 million~~when the initial draw down on ~~September 6, 2018 and $34.1 million on September 11, 2018.~~this facility was made.

$495 Million Credit Facility —

$460 Million Tranche -– one-month LIBOR plus 3.25% effective June 5, 2018, when the initial $460 million draw down on this tranche of this facility was made. The applicable margin was reduced to 3.00% from March 5, 2019 to August 9, 2019 pursuant to terms of the facility.

$35 Million Tranche – one-month LIBOR plus 2.50% effective August 28, 2019 when the initial draw down on this tranche of this facility was made.

~~$400 Million Credit Facility — three-month LIBOR plus 3.75% until June 5, 2018, when this credit facility was refinanced with the $495 Million Credit Facility~~

~~$98 Million Credit Facility — three-month LIBOR plus 6.125% until June 5, 2018, when this credit facility was refinanced with the $495 Million Credit Facility~~

~~Table of Contents~~

~~2014 Term Loan Facilities — three-month or six-month LIBOR plus 2.50% until June 5, 2018, when this credit facility was refinanced with the $495 Million Credit Facility~~

A 1% increase in LIBOR would result in an increase of ~~$4.0~~$1.3 million in interest expense for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

Derivative financial instruments

As part of our business strategy, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. As of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, we did not have any derivative financial instruments.

Refer to “Interest rate risk” section above for further information regarding interest rate swap agreements.

Currency and exchange rates risk

The majority of transactions in the international shipping industry are denominated in U.S. Dollars. Virtually all of our revenues and most of our operating costs are in U.S. Dollars. We incur certain operating expenses in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and the foreign exchange risk associated with these operating expenses is immaterial.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and President and our Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the

Table of Contents

period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and President and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A.1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the ~~2018~~2019 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Below is an update to the risk factor entitled, “~~“Dividends and share repurchases permitted under~~The Covid-19 novel coronavirus, or other epidemics, could have a material adverse impact on our ~~credit facilities are subject to certain limitations”~~business, results of operations, or financial condition”:

~~Future dividends~~The COVID-19 pandemic and measures to contain its spread have impacted the markets in which we operate and could have a material adverse impact on our business and its operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic and measures to contain its spread have negatively impacted regional and global economies and trade patterns in markets in which we operate, the way we operate our business, and the businesses of our charterers and suppliers. These negative impacts could continue or worsen. The COVID-19 pandemic may have far-reaching repercussions on our business and industry that are ~~subject~~currently unknown. Governments in affected countries are imposing travel bans, quarantines, and other emergency public health measures, and a number of countries have implemented lockdown measures. Companies, including us, are also taking precautions, such as requiring employees to work remotely and imposing travel restrictions, while some other businesses have been required to close entirely. These restrictions have had an adverse impact on global economic conditions, resulted in turmoil in the shipping, credit, and other markets that affect us, and introduced new risks to our operations. These negative effects may continue or occur after the pandemic itself diminishes or ends. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in reduced industrial activity in China on which our business is substantially dependent, with temporary closures of factories and other facilities, and we believe it has resulted in lower drybulk rates in 2020 thus far, given lower demand for some of the cargoes we carry, including iron ore and coal. As the COVID-19 pandemic has spread, economic activity has also declined in other major industrial and financial centers of the world, including the United States, the European Union, Japan, India, and South Korea. Deterioration of worldwide, regional, or national economic conditions and activity could result in further reduced demand for the cargoes we carry and drybulk shipping services and may also negatively affect our charters, suppliers, and other parties with which we do business.

Moreover, we face significant risks to our personnel and operations due to the ~~discretion~~COVID-19 pandemic. Our crews face risk of exposure to COVID-19 as a result of travel to ports in China and other countries in which cases of COVID-19 have been reported. Our shore-based personnel likewise face risk of such exposure, as we are headquartered in New York, which currently has the highest number of COVID-19 cases reported in the U.S. The spread of COVID-19 has led to disruption of normal business activities and the imposition of measures to prevent or limit the spread of COVID-19, all of which may result in severe operational disruptions and delays. Our operations may be negatively affected by the unavailability of normal port infrastructure and services, including limited access to equipment, critical goods, and personnel, which may lead to delays in the loading and discharging of cargo on or from our vessels; closure of ports and customs offices; restrictions on the ability of our ~~Board~~vessels to call on or depart from ports or requiring mandatory minimum periods between port calls (such as regulations requiring a minimum of ~~Directors; dividends~~14 days between departure from a port in China and ~~share repurchases~~arrival at a port in certain other countries), which may result in vessel offhire; delays and expenses in finding substitute crew members if any of our vessels’ crew members become infected; our inability to renew or maintain the required classifications of our vessels; difficulty in executing vessel purchases or sales; disruptions to crew changes; quarantine of our ships, our crews, or both; delays in or inability to perform scheduled drydockings, intermediate or special surveys of vessels and scheduled and unscheduled ship repairs and upgrades, including the installation of ballast water treatment equipment, which may result from a shortage of necessary personnel, an inability to access or unavailability of necessary facilities or otherwise; and shortages of or a lack of access to spare parts required for our vessels. As our shore-based personnel are ~~limited under~~currently working remotely, any disruption in remote communications could also negatively impact our operations. The occurrence of one or more of the foregoing events or circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, values of our vessels, and ability to pay dividends.

Table of Contents

The COVID-19 pandemic and measures to contain its spread could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, compliance with our credit ~~facilities.~~facility covenants, and ability to pay dividends.

~~Our quarterly dividend policy~~As a result of the impact of COVID-19 and ~~declaration and payment of dividends is subject~~measures to ~~legally available funds, compliance with law and contractual obligations~~contain its spread on general market conditions and our ~~Board of Directors’ determination that each declaration and payment is~~operations as described in the ~~best interest of the Company~~preceding risk factor, we may experience significant risks to our financial condition and liquidity. These risks include inability to charter our ~~shareholders. While we have initiated this policy, there is no legal obligation to continue paying dividends~~vessels at ~~the same rate~~profitable rates or at all, ~~and this policy may change in the future. Our declaration and payment~~with resulting losses from operations; noncompliance of ~~dividends is also subject to a number of conditions and restrictions as described below.~~

~~Under~~charterers with the terms of our ~~$495 Million Credit Facility~~charters, including payment; a decline in counterparty credit strength; limitations on sources of cash and liquidity, including reduced access to capital markets and tightening credit from potential lenders in the private or public sector; delays or defaults in payments if the payment systems through which we receive revenues from vessel chartering or process payment of our expenses do not function; noncompliance with covenants in our credit facilities; and potential decreases in the market values of vessels and related impairment charges.

Our credit facilities contain collateral maintenance covenants that require the aggregate appraised value of collateral vessels to be at least 135% of the principal amount of the loan outstanding under each such facility. If the values of our vessels were to decline further significantly as a result of COVID-19 or otherwise, we may not satisfy this collateral maintenance requirement. Any borrowings under the $25 million revolving credit facility we are negotiating may make it more difficult to satisfy the collateral maintenance requirement under our $108 Million Credit ~~Facility,~~Facility. If we do not satisfy the collateral maintenance requirement, we will need to post additional collateral or prepay outstanding loans to bring us back into compliance, or we will need to seek waivers, which may not be available or may be subject to conditions.

We also reduced our quarterly dividend to $0.02 per share in order to maintain our cash reserves in the face of uncertainties presented by COVID-19. Our credit facilities permit the payment of dividends ~~or repurchases of our stock are subject to customary conditions. We may pay dividends or repurchase stock under these facilities~~ to the extent our ~~total~~unrestricted cash and cash equivalents are greater than $100 million and 18.75% of our total indebtedness, whichever is ~~higher; if we cannot satisfy this condition, we are subject to~~higher (or a ~~limitation of 50%~~specified percentage of consolidated net income for the ~~quarter~~ preceding ~~such dividend payment or stock repurchase if the collateral maintenance test ratio is 200% or less~~quarter). At March 31, 2020, we had cash for ~~such~~this purpose of $134.3 million. We have commitments for amortization payments expected to be $18.2 million per quarter for 2020, or $20.2 million from September 30, 2020 onward, if we draw in full the $25 million credit facility we are negotiating. Therefore, if we do not generate cash flow from operations, we would be unlikely to be able to declare or pay dividends after the end of 2020, assuming we draw such facility in full (or earlier if we do not), except to the extent of permissible dividends from net income.

At present, it is not possible to ascertain the overall impact of COVID-19 on our business, which ~~purpose~~may take some time to materialize and may not be fully reflected in the ~~full commitment~~results for 2020. However, the occurrence of upany of the foregoing events or other epidemics, an increase in the severity or duration or a resurgence of the COVID-19 or other epidemic, or prevention and mitigation measures related to ~~$35 million~~any such epidemic could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, values of our ~~new scrubber tranche is assumed to be drawn. The declaration~~vessels, and payment of any dividend or any stock repurchase is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors. The principal business factors that our Board of Directors expects to consider when determining the timing and amount of dividend payments or stock repurchases include our earnings, financial condition, and cash requirements at the time. Marshall Islands law generally prohibits the declaration and payment of dividends or stock repurchases other than from surplus. Marshall Islands law also prohibits the declaration and payment of dividends or stock repurchases while a company is insolvent or would be rendered insolvent by the payment of such a dividend or such a stock repurchase.

We may incur other expenses or liabilities that would reduce or eliminate the cash available for distribution as dividends. We may also enter into new agreements or the Marshall Islands or another jurisdiction may adopt laws or regulations that place additional restrictions on our ability to pay dividends. If we decrease, suspend or terminate the payment of dividends, our stock price may decline. If we suspend or terminate dividends, the return on your investment would be limited to the price at which you could sell your shares.

~~ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION~~

On November 5, 2019, the Company entered into amendments to the dividend covenants in the credit agreements for its $495 Million Credit Facility and its $108 Million Credit Facility with the lenders party to these agreements. Under the dividend covenants as so amended, the Company may pay dividends subject to customary conditions to the extent its unrestricted cash and cash equivalents are equal to the greater of $100 million and 18.75% of total indebtedness as defined in the credit agreements, in each case both immediately before and after giving effect to such dividends. The Company may also still pay dividends subject to customary conditions and a limitation of 50% of consolidated net income for the quarter preceding such dividend payment if the collateral maintenance test ratio is 200% or less for such quarter, the full commitment of up to $35 million for the scrubber tranche is assumed to be drawn. The foregoing description of the amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to such amendments, which are filed as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3 to this report.
