Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Genco Shipping & Trading Limited (“GS&T”) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels and operates in one business segment.

At March 31, 2022, the Company’s fleet consisted of 44 drybulk vessels, including 17 Capesize drybulk carriers, 15 Ultramax drybulk carriers and twelve Supramax drybulk carriers, with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 4,636,000 dwt and an average age of approximately 10.1 years.

During September 2021, the Company and Synergy Marine Pte. Ltd. (“Synergy”), a third party, formed a joint venture, GS Shipmanagement Pte. Ltd. (“GSSM”). GSSM is owned 50% by the Company and 50% by Synergy as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and was formed to provide ship management services to the Company’s vessels. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the investments GSSM received from the Company and Synergy totaled $50 and $50, respectively, which were used for expenditures directly related to the operations of GSSM.

Management has determined that GSSM qualifies as a variable interest entity, and, when aggregating the variable interest held by the Company and Synergy, the Company is the primary beneficiary as the Company has the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact GSSM’s economic performance. Accordingly, the Company consolidates GSSM.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization 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. Over the course of the pandemic, 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 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.

At present, it is not possible to ascertain any future impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operational and financial performance, which may take some time to materialize and may not be fully reflected in the results for 2022. However, an increase in the severity or duration or a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic, any potential variants and the timing of wide-scale vaccine distribution could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, the carrying value of the Company’s assets, the fair values of the Company’s vessels, and the Company’s ability to pay dividends.

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”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC that apply to interim financial statements, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures and footnotes normally included in complete consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of GS&T and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries and GSSM. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Table of Contents

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, 2021 (the “2021 10-K”). The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.

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, residual value of vessels, useful life of vessels, the fair value of time charters acquired, and the fair value of derivative instruments, if any. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash

The Company considers highly liquid investments, such as money market funds and certificates of deposit with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Current and non-current restricted cash includes cash that is restricted pursuant to our credit facilities. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same amounts shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:


	March 31,		December 31,
	2022		2021
Cash and cash equivalents	$	43,113	$	114,573
Restricted cash - current		5,643		5,643
Restricted cash - noncurrent		315		315

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	49,071	$	120,531

Bunker swap and forward fuel purchase agreements

From time to time, the Company may enter into fuel hedge agreements with the objective of reducing the risk of the effect of changing fuel prices. The Company has entered into bunker swap agreements and forward fuel purchase agreements. The Company’s bunker swap agreements and forward fuel purchase agreements do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore any unrealized or realized gains and losses are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Derivatives are Level 2 instruments in the fair value hierarchy.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded $629 and $155 of realized gains in other income, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded $1,439 and ($116) of unrealized gains (losses) in other income, respectively. The total fair value of the bunker swap agreements and forward fuel purchase agreements in an asset position as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is $1,602 and $82 and are recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total fair value of the bunker swap agreements and forward fuel purchase agreements in a liability position

Table of Contents

as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is $70 and $139 and are recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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. 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 for vessels during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $12,184 and $11,769, 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 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 cost of steel times the weight of the ship noted in lightweight tons (lwt). Effective January 1, 2022, the Company increased the estimated scrap value of the vessels from $310 per lwt to $400 per lwt prospectively based on the average of the 15-year average scrap value of steel. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the increase in the estimated scrap value resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense of $1,146. The decrease in depreciation expense resulted in a $0.03 and $0.02 change to the basic and diluted net earnings per share, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The basic and diluted net earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 would have been $0.96 per share and $0.95 per share, respectively, if there was no change in the estimated scrap value.

Voyage expense recognition

In time charters and spot market-related time charters, 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 and spot market-related time charters. Refer to Note 11 — Voyage 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 gain of $2,004 and $493 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Additionally, voyage expenses include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.

Technical management fees

Technical management fees include the direct costs, including operating costs, incurred by GSSM for the technical management of the vessels under its management. Additionally, prior to the transfer of our vessels to GSSM for technical management, we incurred management fees payable to third party technical management companies for the

Table of Contents

day-to-day management of our vessels, including performing routine maintenance, attending to vessel operation and arranging for crews and supplies.

Loss on sale of vessels

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a net loss of $720 related primarily to the sale of the Baltic Panther, the Baltic Hare and the Baltic Cougar, as well as net losses associated with the exchange of the Baltic Cove, the Baltic Fox, the Genco Spirit, the Genco Avra and the Genco Mare. Refer to Note 4 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions for further detail regarding the sale of these vessels. There were no vessels sold during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”)” which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance in U.S. GAAP on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Scope (“ASU 2021-01”),” which permits entities to apply optional expedients in Topic 848 to derivative instruments modified because of discounting transition resulting from reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 became effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modification made on or before December 31, 2022. ASU 2021-01 became effective upon issuance and may be applied on a full retrospective basis as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020 or prospectively for contract modification made on or before December 31, 2022.

5 – NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

The computation of basic net earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The computation of diluted net earnings per share assumes the vesting of nonvested stock awards and the exercise of stock options (refer to Note 14 — 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 260,693 and 215,240 restricted stock units that were dilutive during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. There were 440,550 and 87,358 stock options that were dilutive during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The components of the denominator for the calculation of basic and diluted net earnings per share are as follows:
