The Company formerly provided technical services for drybulk vessels purchased by Maritime Equity Partners LLC (“MEP”). These services included oversight of crew management, insurance, drydocking, ship operations and financial statement preparation, but did not include chartering services. The services were initially provided for a fee of $750 per ship per day plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs and were provided for an initial term of one year. On September 30, 2015, under the oversight of an independent committee of our Board of Directors, Genco (USA) entered into certain agreements which reduced the daily service fee from $750 to $650 per day, which was effective October 1, 2015. During January 2016, five of MEP’s vessels were sold to third parties and were no longer subject to the agency agreement. Based upon the September 30, 2015 agreement, termination fees were due in the amount of $296 which was assumed by the new owners of the five MEP vessels that were sold and were paid in full during February 2016. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2016, the remaining seven of MEP’s vessels were sold to third parties, and the agency agreement was deemed terminated upon the sale of these vessels. Based upon the September 30, 2015 agreement, termination fees were due in the amount of $830, which was assumed by the new owners of the seven MEP vessels that were sold and were paid in full as of September 30, 2016. MEP has been dissolved, and all previous outstanding amounts have been settled as of December 31, 2016. Refer to Note 7 — Related Party Transactions for amounts due to or from MEP as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

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, including Baltic Trading. 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, 2016 (the “2016 10-K”). The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.

Segment reporting

The Company reports financial information and evaluates its operations by charter 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, and are subject to similar economic characteristics. Based on this, the Company has determined that it operates in one reportable segment which is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels.

General and administrative expenses

During the three months and year ended December 31, 2016, the Company opted to break out expenses previously classified as General, administrative and management fees into two separate categories to provide a greater level of detail of the underlying expenses. These fees were broken out into General and administrative expenses and Technical management fees. This change was made retrospectively for comparability purposes, and there was no effect on the Net Loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Table of Contents

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 which 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 June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $16,892 and $18,541, respectively. Depreciation expense for vessels for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $33,598 and $37,675, 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 estimated scrap value of $310 per lightweight ton (“lwt”) times the weight of the ship noted in lwt.

Vessels held for sale

During December 2016, the Board of Directors authorized the sale of the Genco Success, Genco Prosperity and Genco Wisdom. As such, these vessel assets were classified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, these vessels were sold. Refer to Note 4 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions for additional information.

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 time charter performance issues. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had an accrual of $481 and $220, respectively, related to these estimated customer claims.

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 charterers. 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 or market adjustments to re-value the bunker fuel on a quarterly basis. These differences in bunkers, including lower of cost or market adjustments, resulted in a net gain (loss) of $1,440 and ($1,508) during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $935 and ($3,805) during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Additionally, voyage expenses include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.

United States Gross Transportation Tax

The Company believes that it will not qualify for the Section 883 exemption during the year ended December 31, 2017. In the absence of the exemption, 50% of the Company’s gross shipping income attributable to transportation beginning or ending in the U.S. (but not both beginning and ending in the U.S.) will be subject to a 4% tax without allowance for deductions (the “U.S. gross transportation tax”) during the year ended December 31, 2017. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company has recorded estimated U.S. gross transportation tax of $61 and $97, respectively, which has been recorded in Voyage expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operation.

Table of Contents

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company qualified for the Section 883 exemption and, therefore, did not record any U.S. gross transportation tax.

Other operating income

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded other operating income of $182. There was no operating income earned during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. Other operating income recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 consisted primarily of $157 received from Samsun Logix Corporation (“Samsun”) pursuant to the revised rehabilitation plan that was approved by the South Korean courts on April 8, 2016. Refer to Note 16 — Commitments and Contingencies for further information regarding the bankruptcy settlement with Samsun.

Impairment of vessel assets

During the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded $3,339 and $67,594, respectively, related to the impairment of vessel assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360 — “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”). Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded $3,339 and $69,278, respectively, related to the impairment of vessel assets in accordance with ASC 360.

At June 30, 2017, the Company determined that the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the Genco Surprise did not exceed the carrying value of the vessel at June 30, 2017 and reduced the carrying value of the Genco Surprise, a 1998-built Panamax vessel, to its fair market value as of June 30, 2017. This resulted in an impairment loss of $3,339 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

At June 8, 2016, the Company determined that the scrapping of nine of its vessels, the Genco Acheron, Genco Carrier, Genco Leader, Genco Pioneer, Genco Prosperity, Genco Reliance, Genco Success, Genco Sugar, and Genco Wisdom, was more likely than not pursuant to the Commitment Letter entered into for the $400 Million Credit Facility as defined and disclosed in Note 8 — Debt. Therefore, at June 8, 2016, the time utilized to determine the recoverability of the carrying value of the vessel assets was significantly reduced. After determining that the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the aforementioned nine vessels did not exceed the carrying value of the vessels at June 8, 2016, the Company reduced the carrying value of the nine vessels to their net realizable value, which was based on the expected net proceeds from scrapping the vessels. This resulted in an impairment loss of $67,594 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. Refer to Note 4 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions for further information about the sale of these vessels.

At March 31, 2016, the Company determined that the scrapping of the Genco Marine was more likely than not based on discussions with the Company’s Board of Directors. Therefore, at March 31, 2016, the time utilized to determine the recoverability of the carrying value of the vessel asset was significantly reduced. After determining that the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the Genco Marine did not exceed the carrying value of the vessel at March 31, 2016, the Company reduced the carrying value of the Genco Marine to its net realizable value, which was based on the expected proceeds from scrapping the vessel. This resulted in an impairment loss of $0 and $1,684 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. On April 5, 2016, the Board of Directors unanimously approved scrapping the Genco Marine, and the sale of the Genco Marine to the scrap yard was completed on May 17, 2016.

(Gain) loss on sale of vessels

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a net gain of $1,343 and $7,712, respectively, related to the sale of vessels. The net gain of $1,343 recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2017 related primarily to the sale of the Genco Prosperity and the net gain of $7,712 recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2017 related primarily to the sale of the Genco Wisdom, the Genco Reliance, the Genco Carrier, the Genco Success and the Genco Prosperity.

Table of Contents

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded a net loss of $77 related to the sale of the Genco Marine.

Investments

The Company previously held an investment in the capital stock of Jinhui Shipping and Transportation Limited (“Jinhui”) and in Korea Line Corporation (“KLC”). Jinhui is a drybulk shipping owner and operator focused on the Supramax segment of drybulk shipping. KLC is a marine transportation service company which operates a fleet of carriers which includes carriers for iron ore, liquefied natural gas and tankers for oil and petroleum products. The investments in Jinhui and KLC were designated as Available For Sale (“AFS”) and were reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”). The Company classified the investments as current or noncurrent assets based on the Company’s intent to hold the investments at each reporting date. As of December 31, 2016, the Company no longer held investments in Jinhui or KLC. Refer to Note 5 — Investments.

Investments were reviewed quarterly to identify possible other-than-temporary impairment in accordance with ASC Subtopic 320-10, “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities” (“ASC 320-10”). When evaluating its investments, the Company reviewed factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below the cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, the underlying net asset value of the issuer’s assets and liabilities, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time which may be sufficient for anticipated recovery in market value. Should the decline in the value of any investment be deemed to be other-than-temporary, the investment basis would be written down to fair market value, and the write-down would be recorded to earnings as a loss. Refer to Note 5 — Investments.

Income taxes

Pursuant to certain agreements, GS&T technically and commercially managed vessels for Baltic Trading until the merger with Baltic Trading on July 17, 2015, and also provided technical management of vessels for MEP in exchange for specified fees for such services until the sale of all of MEP’s vessels. These services were performed by Genco (USA), which elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. As such, Genco (USA) was subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide net income, including the net income derived from providing these services. Genco (USA) entered into a cost-sharing agreement with the Company and Genco Ship Management LLC, collectively Manco, pursuant to which Genco (USA) agreed to reimburse Manco for the costs incurred by Genco (USA) for the use of Manco’s personnel and services in connection with the provision of the services for both Baltic Trading and MEP’s vessels.

There was no income tax expense recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as there was no revenue earned by Genco (USA).

Total revenue earned by the Company for these services during the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $414, of which $0 was eliminated upon consolidation. After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $228 associated with these activities for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This resulted in estimated income tax expense of $96 for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Total revenue earned by the Company for these services during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $1,225, of which $0 eliminated upon consolidation. After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $791 associated with these activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This resulted in estimated income tax expense of $350 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Account” (“ASU 2017-09”). This ASU provides guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification account. This ASU is effective for

Table of Contents

fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2017-09 must be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company will adopt ASU 2017-09 during the first quarter of 2018.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”). This ASU adds or clarifies the guidance in ASC 230 – Statement of Cash Flows regarding the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flow. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-18 must be adopted retrospectively. Other than presentation, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” This ASU adds or clarifies the guidance in ASC 230 – Statement of Cash Flows regarding the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted. This ASU shall be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, but may be applied prospectively from the earliest date practicable if retrospective application would be impracticable. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which replaces the existing guidance in ASC 840 – Leases. This 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 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. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Lessees and lessors will be required to apply the new standard at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which they first apply the new guidance, using a modified retrospective transition method. The requirements of this standard include a significant increase in required disclosures. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”). This ASU will require that equity investments be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income (loss). ASU 2016-01 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, and shall be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. On July 9, 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after that date. The FASB also permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued the following ASU’s which amend or provide additional guidance on topics addressed in ASU 2014-09. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue Recognition - Principal versus Agent” (reporting revenue gross versus net). In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue Recognition - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licenses.” Lastly, in May 2016 and December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue Recognition - Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” and ASU No. 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Top 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The Company intends

Table of Contents

to adopt the aforementioned ASUs for the interim periods after December 31, 2017, using the modified retrospective transition method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of that date. Upon adoption, the Company will recognize the cumulative effect of adopting this guidance as an adjustment to its opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Prior periods will not be retrospectively adjusted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the aforementioned ASUs on its condensed consolidated financial statements, including the presentation of revenues in its consolidated statements of operations.

5 – INVESTMENTS

The Company held an investment in the capital stock of Jinhui and the stock of KLC. Jinhui is a drybulk shipping owner and operator focused on the Supramax segment of drybulk shipping. KLC is a marine transportation service company which operates a fleet of carriers which includes carriers for iron ore, liquefied natural gas and tankers for oil and petroleum products. These investments were designated as AFS and were reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in equity as a component of AOCI. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not hold any shares of Jinhui capital stock or shares of KLC stock.

Prior to the sale of its remaining shares of Jinhui capital stock, the Company reviewed the investment in Jinhui for indicators of other-than-temporary impairment in accordance with ASC 320-10. Based on the Company’s review, it deemed the investment in Jinhui to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2016 due to the duration and severity of the decline in its market value versus its cost basis and the absence of the intent and ability to recover the initial carrying value of the investment. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations of $2,696 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The Company reviewed its investments in Jinhui and KLC for impairment on a quarterly basis. The Company’s investment in Jinhui was a Level 1 item under the fair value hierarchy, refer to Note 10 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments for the fair value hierarchy.

The unrealized gain (losses) on the Jinhui capital stock and KLC stock were a component of AOCI since these investments were designated as AFS securities. If the investment in Jinhui was deemed other-than-temporarily impaired, the cost basis for the investment would be revised to its fair value on that date.

Refer to Note 9 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for a breakdown of the components of AOCI during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, including any effects of any sales of Jinhui shares and other-than-temporary impairment of the investment in Jinhui, if applicable.

6 - NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

The computation of basic net loss per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The computation of diluted net loss per share assumes the vesting of nonvested stock awards and the exercise of stock options (refer to Note 17 — 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. Of the 340,455 and 201,930 nonvested shares outstanding, including RSUs, and the 133,000 and 0 stock options outstanding at June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, (refer to Note 17 — Stock-Based Compensation), all are anti-dilutive. The Company’s diluted net loss per share will also reflect the assumed conversion of the equity warrants issued on the Effective Date and MIP Warrants issued by the Company (refer to Note 17 — Stock-Based Compensation) if the impact is dilutive under the treasury stock method. Of the 713,122 and 5,704,974 of unvested MIP Warrants outstanding at June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 3,936,761 of equity warrants outstanding at June 30, 2017 and 2016, all are anti-dilutive.

On July 7, 2016, the Company completed a one-for-ten reverse stock split of its common stock. As a result, all share and per share information included for all periods presents in these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the reverse stock split.

An amendment to the $98 Million Credit Facility Commitment Letter was entered into on September 30, 2016 (the “Amended $98 Million

Table of Contents

Credit Facility Commitment Letter”) which extended this covenant relief through November 15, 2016. Refer to the “Commitment Letter” section above for further discussion.

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”).

10 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair values and carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 which are required to be disclosed at fair value, but not recorded at fair value, are noted below.


	June 30, 2017				December 31, 2016
	Carrying				Carrying
	Value		Fair Value		Value		Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$	147,153	$	147,153	$	133,400	$	133,400
Restricted cash		33,842		33,842		35,668		35,668
Floating rate debt		525,824		525,824		524,377		524,377

The fair value of the floating rate debt under the $400 Million Credit Facility is based on rates obtained on the effective date of the facility, November 10, 2016. The fair value of the floating rate debt under the $98 Million Credit Facility is based on rates the Company obtained upon the effective date of this facility on November 4, 2015, which did not change under the Restated $98 Million Credit Facility effective on November 15, 2016. The fair value of the 2014 Term Loan Facilities is based on rates that Baltic Trading initially obtained upon the effective dates of these facilities which did not change pursuant to the Amended 2014 Term Loan Facilities effective on November 15, 2016. Refer to Note 8 — Debt for further information. The carrying value approximates the fair market value for these floating rate loans. The carrying amounts of the Company’s other financial instruments at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (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 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 a vessel impairment assessment completed at June 30, 2017 and during the interim period during the year ended December 31, 2016 as determined based on third-party scrap quotes, which are Level 2 inputs. As of June 30, 2017, the vessel asset for the Genco Surprise was written down as part of the impairment recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. The vessels held for sale as of December 31, 2016 were written down as part of the impairment recorded in the interim period during the year ended December 31, 2016. There were no additional adjustments required as of December 31, 2016 when the held for sale criteria was met. Refer to “Impairment of vessel assets” and “Vessels held for sale” sections in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Company did not have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

On April 8, 2016, the revised rehabilitation plan was approved by the South Korean court whereby 26% of the remainder of the $3,979 unpaid cash claim settlement from the prior rehabilitation plan, or $1,035, will be settled pursuant to a payment plan over the next ten-year period. The remaining 74% of the claim will be converted to Samsun Shares. Refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for Other Operating

Income recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The final claim with Samsun was settled during the fourth quarter of 2016.

17 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On October 13, 2016, Peter C. Georgiopoulos resigned as Chairman of the Board and a director of the Company. In connection with his departure, Mr. Georgiopoulos entered into a Separation Agreement and a Release Agreement with the Company on October 13, 2016. Under the terms of these agreements, subject to customary conditions, Mr. Georgiopoulos received an amount equal to the annual Chairman’s fee awarded to him in recent years of $500 as a severance payment and full vesting of his unvested equity awards, which consisted of grants of 68,581 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants exercisable for approximately 213,937 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price per share ranging $259.10 to $341.90. The acceleration of the vesting of Mr. Georgiopoulos’ restricted shares and warrants resulted in $5,317 of nonvested stock amortization expense during the three months ended December 31, 2016.

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 9,668,061 shares of Common Stock were available for award under the MIP prior to the Company’s reverse stock split, which is equivalent to approximately 966,806 shares on a post-split basis. 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 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”) may 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 2,380,664, 2,467,009 and 3,709,788 shares. Following the Company’s reverse stock split, these MIP warrants are exercisable for approximately 238,066, 246,701, and 370,979 shares and have exercise prices of $259.10 (the “$259.10 Warrants”), $287.30 (the “$287.30 Warrants”) and $341.90 (the “$341.90 Warrants”) per whole share, respectively. The fair value of each warrant upon emergence from bankruptcy was $7.22 for the $259.10 Warrants, $6.63 for the $287.30 Warrants and $5.63 for the $341.90 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%. The aggregate fair value of these awards upon emergence from bankruptcy was $54,436. The warrants vest 33.33% on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, with accelerated vesting upon a change in control of the Company.

The Company is amortizing these grants over the applicable vesting periods, net of anticipated forfeitures. As of June 30, 2017, unrecognized compensation cost of $62 related to nonvested stock will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.10 years.

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 4,000,000 shares of common stock, or 400,000 shares following the Company’s reverse stock split (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 June 30, 2017, 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 increases the number of shares available for awards under the plan from 400,000 to 2,750,000, subject to shareholder approval; sets the annual limit for awards to non-employee directors and other individuals as 500,000 and 1,000,000 shares, respectively; and modifies the change in control definition. The Company’s shareholder’s 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 per share. One-third of the options become exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries of October 15, 2016, with accelerated vesting upon a change in control of the Company, and all unexercised options expire on the sixth anniversary of the grant date. The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing formula, resulting in a value of $6.41 per share, or $853 in the aggregate. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula are as follows: volatility of 79.80% (representing a blend of the Company’s historical volatility and a peer-based volatility estimate), a risk-free interest rate of 1.68%, a dividend yield of 0%, and expected life of 3.78 years (determined using the simplified method as outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin 14 – Share-Based Payment (“SAB Topic 14”) due to lack of historical exercise data).

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized amortization expense of the fair value of these options, which is included in General and administrative expenses, as follows:

Restricted Stock Units

The Company has issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2015 Plan to certain members of the Board of Directors and John C. Wobensmith, Chief Executive Officer and President, 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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 21,372 and 3,138 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 Mr. Wobensmith when his RSUs vest under the terms of his contract and the amended 2015 Plan described above. On May 17, 2017, 18,234 shares of common stock were issued to Eugene Davis, the former Chairman of the Audit Committee, in respect of vested RSUs following his departure from the Board.

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. The RSUs that have been issued to John C.

The total fair value is calculated as the number of shares vested during the period multiplied by the fair value on the vesting date. On February 17, 2016, the vesting of 23,286 outstanding RSUs, or 2,328 outstanding RSUs on a post-reverse stock split basis, was accelerated upon the resignation of two members on the Company’s Board of Directors.

The following table summarizes certain information of the RSUs unvested and vested as of June 30, 2017:

18 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In April 2015, six class action complaints were filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. On May 26, 2015, the six actions were consolidated under the caption In Re Baltic Trading Ltd. Stockholder Litigation, Index No. 651241/2015, and a consolidated class action complaint was filed on June 10, 2015 (the “Consolidated Complaint”). The Consolidated Complaint is purported to be brought by and on behalf of Baltic Trading’s shareholders and alleges that the then-proposed July 2015 merger did not fairly compensate Baltic Trading’s shareholders and undervalued Baltic Trading. The Consolidated Complaint names as defendants the Company, Baltic Trading, the individual members of Baltic Trading’s board, and the Company’s merger subsidiary. The claims generally allege (i) breaches of fiduciary duties of good faith, due care, disclosure to shareholders, and loyalty, including for failing to maximize shareholder value, and (ii) aiding and abetting those breaches. Among other relief, the complaints seek an injunction against the merger, declaratory judgments that the individual defendants breached fiduciary duties, rescission of the merger agreement, and unspecified damages.

On July 9, 2015, plaintiffs in that action moved to enjoin the merger vote, scheduled to take place on July 17, 2015. The motion was thereafter fully briefed and argued on July 15, 2015. The motion to enjoin the vote was denied on July 15, 2015 (the “Preliminary Injunction Denial”). Plaintiffs sought an emergency injunction and temporary restraining order from the New York State Appellate Division, First Department the following day, on July 16, 2015. The Appellate Division denied the request, and the vote, and subsequent merger, proceeded as scheduled on July 17, 2015. Plaintiffs thereafter withdrew that appeal.

On June 30, 2015, Defendants had moved to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint in its entirety. Plaintiffs subsequently served an Amended Consolidated Complaint, and Defendants directed their motion to dismiss to that amended complaint. The motion to dismiss was granted and the Amended Consolidated Complaint was dismissed with prejudice on August 29, 2016 (the “Dismissal Decision”).

Table of Contents

On September 29, 2016, plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, which recites their appeal of the Dismissal Decision, “including ... and as referenced in” the Dismissal Decision, the Preliminary Injunction Denial.

On June 28, 2017, plaintiffs moved the Appellate Division to extend the time to perfect the appeal to October 2, 2017.

Based on currently available information, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the loss, if any, in the event of an unfavorable outcome in any of these matters. However, the Company does not believe that it is probable that the resolution of these matters will have a material effect on the Company, its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of its business, principally personal injury and property casualty claims. Such claims, even if lacking merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on the Company, its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows besides those noted above.

19 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On August 4, 2017, the Board of Directors determined to dispose of the Company’s vessels built in 1999, namely the Genco Beauty, the Genco Explorer, the Genco Knight, the Genco Progress and the Genco Vigour, 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 third quarter of 2017. This is expected to result in an impairment loss of approximately $19,000 in the third quarter of 2017.

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued and determined that there are no additional subsequent events to record or disclose.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

"Safe Harbor" Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This report contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of potential future events, circumstances or future operating or financial performance. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and observations. Included among the factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking statements contained in this report are the following: (i) further declines or sustained weakness in demand in the drybulk shipping industry; (ii) continuation of weakness or further declines in drybulk shipping rates; (iii) changes in the supply of or demand for drybulk products, generally or in particular regions; (iv) changes in the supply of drybulk carriers including newbuilding of vessels or lower than anticipated scrapping of older vessels; (v) changes in rules and regulations applicable to the cargo industry, including, without limitation, legislation adopted by international organizations or by individual countries and actions taken by regulatory authorities; (vi) increases in costs and expenses including but not limited to: crew wages, insurance, provisions, lube, oil, bunkers, repairs, maintenance and general and administrative expenses, and management fee expenses; (vii) whether our insurance arrangements are adequate; (viii) changes in general domestic and international political conditions; (ix) acts of war, terrorism, or piracy; (x) changes in the condition of the Company’s vessels or applicable maintenance or regulatory standards (which may affect, among other things, our anticipated drydocking or maintenance and repair costs) and unanticipated drydock expenditures; (xi) the Company’s acquisition or disposition of vessels; (xii) the amount of offhire time needed to complete repairs on vessels and the timing and amount of any reimbursement by our insurance carriers for insurance claims, including offhire days; (xiii) the completion of definitive documentation with respect to charters; (xiv) charterers’ compliance with the terms of their charters in the current market environment; (xv) the extent to which our operating results continue to be affected by weakness in market conditions and charter rates; (xvi) our ability to maintain contracts that are critical to our operation, to obtain and maintain acceptable terms with our vendors, customers and service providers and to retain key executives, managers and employees; and other factors listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and subsequent reports on Form 8-K and Form 10-Q.

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 60 drybulk vessels, including 13 Capesize, six Panamax, four Ultramax, 21 Supramax, one Handymax and 15 Handysize drybulk carriers, with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 4,688,000 dwt, and the average age of our fleet is currently approximately 9.4 years. We seek to deploy our vessels on time charters, spot market-related time charters, spot market voyage charters or in vessel pools trading in the spot market, to reputable charterers, including Cargill International S.A., Swissmarine Services S.A. and the Clipper Logger Pool and Clipper Sapphire Pool, in which Clipper Group acts as the pool manager. During the first quarter of 2017, we gave notice to withdraw our Supramax vessels from the Clipper Sapphire Pool. We also gave notice to withdraw our Handysize vessels from the Clipper Logger Pool during May 2017. Lastly, during August 2017, we gave notice to withdraw our Supramax vessels from the Bulkhandling Handymax A/S pool with Klaveness. The majority of the vessels in our current fleet are presently engaged under time charter, spot market-related time charter, spot market voyage charters and vessel pool contracts that expire (assuming the option periods in the time charters are not exercised) between August 2017 and July 2018.

See pages 50-54 for a table of all vessels in our fleet.

Table of Contents

The Genco Tiger and Baltic Lion were offhire for a total of approximately 84 days and 34 days, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 to complete repairs to their main engines. The Genco Tiger’s main engine experienced a breakdown associated with the vessel’s lube filtration system during the first quarter of 2017 and underwent repairs to rectify the issue. The Baltic Lion, which is a sister vessel to the Genco Tiger, also underwent main engine repairs associated with the lube filtration system. We received approval from the insurance underwriters during June 2017 for payment on account under our loss of hire insurance in the amount of $1.4 million and $0.3 million for the Genco Tiger and Baltic Lion, respectively, which has been recorded as voyage revenue during the second quarter of 2017. Our loss of hire insurance covers the revenue days lost for the two vessels at a rate of twenty thousand dollars per day up to 90 days after a deductible of fourteen days. The Genco Tiger is expected to have additional offhire time during the third quarter of 2017 of approximately 30 days. Approximately 10 days of this offhire will exceed the 90 day loss of hire and fourteen day deductible period and will not be covered by insurance.

On June 8, 2016, we entered into a Commitment Letter for a senior secured loan facility (the “$400 Million Credit Facility”) for an aggregate principal amount of up to $400 million, which was subject to completion of an equity financing of at least $125 million. We entered into subsequent amendments to the Commitment Letters which extended existing waivers through November 15, 2016 and the $400 Million Credit Facility was finalized on November 10, 2016. The $400 Million Credit Facility was utilized to refinance the outstanding debt under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility, $148 Million Credit Facility, $22 Million Term Loan Facility, $44 Million Term Loan Facility and 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, each as defined in Note 8 — Debt of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (collectively, the “Prior Facilities”). Refer to Note 8 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about the $400 Million Credit Facility.

As a condition to the effectiveness of the amended Commitment Letter, we entered into stock purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) effective as of October 4, 2016 with funds or related entities managed by Centerbridge Partners, L.P. or its affiliates (“Centerbridge”), Strategic Value Partners, LLC (“SVP”) and Apollo Global Management, LLC (“Apollo” and, together with Centerbridge and SVP, the “Investors”) for the purchase of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for an aggregate of up to $125 million in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The purchase price of the Series A Preferred Stock under each of the Purchase Agreements was $4.85 per share. An additional 1,288,660 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued to Centerbridge, SVP and Apollo as a commitment fee on a pro rata basis. The purchase price and the other terms and conditions of the transaction were established in arm’s length negotiations between an independent special committee of the Board of the Directors of the Company (the “Special Committee”). The Special Committee unanimously approved the transaction.

Subsequently, on October 27, 2016, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Additional Purchase Agreement”) with certain of the Investors; John C. Wobensmith, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President; and other investors for the sale of shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $38.6 million at a purchase price of $4.85 per share. The purchase price and the other terms and conditions of these transactions were established in arm’s length negotiations between an independent special committee of our board of directors (the “Special Committee”) and the investors. The Special Committee unanimously approved the transactions.

On November 15, 2016, pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, we completed the private placement of 27,061,856 shares of Series A Preferred Stock which included 25,773,196 shares at a price per share of $4.85 and an additional 1,288,660 shares issued as a commitment fee on a pro rata basis as noted above. On January 4, 2017, our shareholders approved at a Special Meeting of Shareholders the issuance of up to 27,061,856 shares of common stock of the Company upon the conversion of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, which were purchased by certain investors in a private placement. As a result of such shareholder approval, all outstanding 27,061,856 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were automatically and mandatorily converted into 27,061,856 shares of common stock of the Company on January 4, 2017. Refer to Note 1 — General Information and Note 8 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Pursuant to the Commitment Letter entered into on June 8, 2016 and the final executed $400 Million Credit Facility, we were required to sell or scrap ten of our vessels. On April 5, 2016, the Board of Directors unanimously approved scrapping the Genco Marine. We reached an agreement on May 6, 2016 to sell the Genco Marine, a 1996-built

Table of Contents

Handymax vessel, to be scrapped with Ace Exim Pte Ltd., a demolition yard, which was completed on May 17, 2016. During October 2016, we reached agreements with third-parties to sell three of our vessels, the Genco Pioneer (a 1999-built Handysize vessel), the Genco Sugar (a 1998-built Handysize vessel) and the Genco Leader (a 1999-built Panamax vessel). These sales were completed during October and November 2016. Additionally, during November 2016 we reached an agreement with a third-party to sell the Genco Acheron (a 1999-built Panamax vessel) for which the sale was completed during December 2016. Also, during December 2016 the Board of Directors unanimously approved the sale of the Genco Success (a 1997-built Handymax vessel), the Genco Prosperity (a 1997-built Handymax vessel) and the Genco Wisdom (a 1997-built Handymax vessel). The sale of the Genco Wisdom and Genco Success were completed during January and March 2017, respectively, and the sale of the Genco Prosperity was completed during May 2017. Lastly, during January 2017, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the sale of the Genco Carrier (a 1998-built Handymax vessel) and the Genco Reliance (a 1999-built Handysize vessel). The sales of these vessels were completed during February 2017. Refer to Note 4 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

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 serve the same type of customer, have similar operations and maintenance requirements, operate in the same regulatory environment, and are 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 of charters, such as time charters, 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 three 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.

On October 13, 2016, Peter C. Georgiopoulos resigned as our Chairman of the Board and a director of the Company. The Board of Directors appointed Arthur L. Regan, a current director of the Company, as Interim Executive Chairman of the Board. In connection with his departure, Mr. Georgiopoulos entered into a Separation Agreement and a Release Agreement with the Company on October 13, 2016. Under the terms of these agreements, subject to customary conditions, Mr. Georgiopoulos received an amount equal to the annual Chairman’s fee awarded to him in recent years of $0.5 million as a severance payment and full vesting of his unvested equity awards, which consist of grants of 68,581 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants exercisable for approximately 213,937 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise per share ranging $259.10 to $341.90. Refer to Note 17 — Stock-Based Compensation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The agreements also contain customary provisions pertaining to confidential information, releases of claims by Mr. Georgiopoulos, and other restrictive covenants.

Prior to December 31, 2016, we held an investment in the capital stock of Jinhui Shipping and Transportation Limited (“Jinhui”) and Korea Line Corporation (“KLC”). Jinhui is a drybulk shipping owner and operator focused on the Supramax segment of drybulk shipping. KLC is a marine transportation service company which operates a fleet of carriers which includes carriers for iron ore, liquefied natural gas and tankers for oil and petroleum products.

We formerly provided technical services for drybulk vessels purchased by Maritime Equity Partners LLC (“MEP”) under an agency agreement between us and MEP. These services included oversight of crew management, insurance, drydocking, ship operations and financial statement preparation, but did not include chartering services. The services were initially provided for a fee of $750 per ship per day plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs and were provided for an initial term of one year. This arrangement was approved by an independent committee of our Board of Directors. On September 30, 2015, under the oversight of an independent committee of our Board of Directors, Genco Management (USA) LLC (“Genco (USA)”) and MEP entered into certain agreements under which MEP paid $2.2 million of the amount of service fees in arrears (of which $0.3 million was paid in 2016 by the new owners of five of the

Table of Contents

MEP vessels sold in January 2016 as described below) and the daily service fee was reduced from $750 to $650 per day effective on October 1, 2015. During January 2016 and the three months ended September 30, 2016, five and seven of MEP’s vessels, respectively, were sold to third parties, upon which these vessels were no longer subject to the agency agreement. Based upon the September 30, 2015 agreement, termination fees were due in the amount $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, which was assumed by the new owners of the MEP vessels that were sold. The amount of these termination fees has been paid in full. The daily service fees earned for the year ended December 31, 2016 have been paid in full. At December 31, 2016, all MEP vessels have been sold and the Companies have been dissolved.

See Note 8 — Debt of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for the defined terms we use for each of our credit facilities and a description of each facility.

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) Available days. We define available days as the number of our ownership days in a period less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys and the aggregate amount of time that we spend positioning our vessels between time charters. 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.

(3) Operating days. We define operating days as the number of our 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.

(4) Fleet utilization. We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of our operating days during a period by the number of our available days during the period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a company’s efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels and minimizing the number of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, special surveys or vessel positioning.

(5) TCE rates. We define TCE rates as net voyage revenue (voyage revenues less voyage expenses) divided by the number of our available days during the period, which is consistent with industry standards. 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.

(6) Daily vessel operating expenses. We define daily vessel operating expenses as vessel operating expenses divided by ownership days for the period. Vessel operating expenses include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance (excluding drydocking), the costs of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes and other miscellaneous expenses.

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.

Three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30 2016

VOYAGE REVENUES-

For the three months ended June 30 2017, voyage revenues increased by $13.9 million, or 44.2%, to $45.4 million as compared to $31.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in voyage revenues was primarily due to higher spot market rates achieved by the majority of our vessels partially offset by the operation of fewer vessels during the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period during 2016.

The average Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rate of our fleet increased 82.7% to $8,439 a day for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $4,618 a day for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in TCE rates was primarily due to higher spot rates achieved by the majority of the vessels in our fleet during the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period last year. The freight market strength that materialized at the end of the first quarter of 2017 carried into the beginning of the second quarter as a result of record Chinese steel output, which led to heightened demand for seaborne iron ore and coal cargoes. Additionally, the South American grain season aided in supporting smaller class vessels. Towards the end of the quarter, the freight market came under pressure as the drybulk fleet expanded at a higher pace due to a significant year-over-year decline in demolition activity.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we had 5,505.2 and 6,325.7 ownership days, respectively. The decrease in ownership days is a result of the sale of nine of our vessels during the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first half of 2017, in addition to the scrapping of one vessel during the second quarter of 2016. Fleet utilization decreased to 96.6% during the three months ended June 30, 2017 from 99.4% during the three months ended June 30, 2016 primarily as a result of 81.2 offhire days and 34.0 offhire days for the Genco Tiger and Baltic Lion, respectively, related to repairs completed to their main engine.

Refer to the “General” section above for further discussion of the repairs made to the Genco Tiger and Baltic Lion.

Table of Contents

SERVICE REVENUES-

Service revenues consisted of revenues earned from providing technical services to MEP pursuant to the agency agreement between us and MEP. These services included oversight of crew management, insurance, drydocking, ship operations and financial statement preparation, but did not include chartering services. The services were provided for a fee of $650 per ship per day effective October 1, 2015 pursuant to the agency agreement entered into between Genco (USA). There was no service revenue earned during the three months ended June 30, 2017 as MEP was dissolved effective December 31, 2016 and the remaining MEP vessels were sold during 2016. The service revenue recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2016 consisted of $0.4 million of management fees.

VOYAGE EXPENSES-

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 charterers. There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses such as commissions which are typically borne by us. Voyage expenses include port and canal charges, fuel (bunker) expenses and brokerage commissions payable to unaffiliated third parties. Port and canal charges and bunker expenses primarily increase in periods during which vessels are employed on voyage charters because these expenses are for the account of the vessel owner. At the inception of a time 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 and the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement. Additionally, we record the lower of cost or market adjustments to re-value the bunker fuel on a quarterly basis.

Voyage expenses decreased by $2.1 million from $3.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $1.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to a difference of $3.1 million between current year net bunker gains and prior year net bunker losses. During the second quarter of 2017 the Company recorded $1.6 million of net bunker gains as compared to $1.5 million of net bunker losses during the second quarter of 2016 based on the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer. This was a result of the overall increase in bunker prices. This decrease was partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in bunker consumption during repositioning of our vessels during the second quarter of 2017.

VESSEL OPERATING EXPENSES-

Vessel operating expenses decreased by $4.7 million from $28.5 million during the second quarter of 2016 to $23.9 million during the second quarter of 2017. This decrease was primarily due to the operation of a smaller fleet as a result of the sale of nine vessels during the fourth quarter of 2016 and first half of 2017, in addition to the scrapping of one vessel during the second quarter of 2016. Additionally, the decrease was due to lower expenses related to crewing and insurance, as well as the timing of purchases of stores partially offset by higher drydocking related expenses.

Daily vessel operating expenses decreased to $4,333 per vessel per day for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $4,511 per day for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in daily vessel operating expenses was predominantly due to lower expenses related to crewing and insurance, as well as the timing of purchases of stores, partially offset by higher drydocking 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 three months ended June 30, 2017 were $107 below the weighted-average budgeted rate of $4,440 per vessel per day for the entire year for the core fleet of 60 vessels.

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,

Table of Contents

for instance, developments relating to market prices for crewing, lubes, and insurance, may also cause these expenses to increase.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES-

We incur general and administrative expenses which relate to our onshore non-vessel-related activities. Our general and administrative expenses include our payroll expenses, including those relating to our executive officers, rent, 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 17 — 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.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, general and administrative expenses were $5.8 million and $11.6 million, respectively. The $5.8 million decrease was primarily due to a $3.9 million decrease in nonvested stock amortization expense. Refer to Note 17 — Stock-Based Compensation in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was also due to a $1.8 million decrease in financing related advisory and legal 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.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, technical management fees were $1.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The $0.4 million decrease was due to the sale of nine vessels during the fourth quarter of 2016 and first half of 2017, in addition to the scrapping of one vessel during the second quarter of 2016.

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 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 decreased by $1.5 million to $18.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $19.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation expense for the nine vessels which were deemed impaired at June 30, 2016 and were written down to their net realizable value at June 30, 2016. These vessels were subsequently sold during the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first half of 2017. Additionally, there was a decrease in depreciation for the Genco Marine which was scrapped on May 17, 2016.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME-

For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, other operating income was $0 and $0.2 million, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to a payment of $0.2 million received from Samsun Logix Corporation as part of the cash settlement of the revised rehabilitation plan approved by the South Korean courts on April 8, 2016. Refer to Note 16 — Commitments and Contingencies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the settlement.

IMPAIRMENT OF VESSEL ASSETS-

During the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded $3.3 million and $67.6 million of impairment of vessel assets, respectively. At June 30, 2017, we determined that the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the Genco Surprise did not exceed the carrying value of the vessel at June 30, 2017. As such, we reduced the carrying value of the Genco Surprise to its fair market value as of June 30, 2017, which resulted in an impairment loss of $3.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded $67.6 million of impairment for nine of our vessels, the Genco Acheron, Genco Carrier, Genco Leader, Genco Pioneer, Genco Prosperity, Genco Reliance, Genco Success, Genco Sugar and Genco Wisdom, for which we had deemed that it was more likely than not would be scrapped. These vessels were subsequently sold during the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first half of 2017.

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

(GAIN) LOSS ON SALE OF VESSELS-

During the second quarter of 2017, we recorded a net gain on sale of vessels of $1.3 million related primarily to the sale of the Genco Prosperity on May 16, 2017. During the second quarter of 2016, we recorded a net loss on sale of vessels of $0.1 million related to the scrapping of the Genco Marine on May 17, 2016.

OTHER (EXPENSE) INCOME-

IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENT –

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded Impairment of investment of $2.7 million. Prior to selling our remaining investment in Jinhui during the fourth quarter of 2016, we reviewed our investment in Jinhui for indicators of other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. Based on our review, we deemed the investment in Jinhui to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2016. Refer to Note 5 — Investments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

NET INTEREST EXPENSE –

Net interest expense increased marginally by $0.2 million from $7.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 to $7.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017. Net interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 consisted of interest expense under our credit facilities and amortization of deferred financing costs for those facilities. The increase in net interest expense is primarily due to a $0.6 million increase in interest expense as a result of higher interest rates during the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period during 2016. These increases were partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in interest income earned during the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period during 2016 primarily as a result of a higher cash balance due to proceeds from the equity issuance during the fourth quarter of 2016 and proceeds from the sale of vessels. Refer to Note 8 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our credit facilities and the equity issuance.

REORGANIZATION ITEMS, NET–

Reorganization items, net decreased to $0 during the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016. These reorganization items include trustee fees and professional fees incurred after we emerged from bankruptcy on July 9, 2014 in relation to the Chapter 11 Cases. The decrease is due to the winding down of settlement payments related to the Chapter 11 Cases. As of December 31, 2016, all outstanding claims arising from the Chapter 11 Cases were settled. Refer to Note 15 — Reorganization items, net in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE-

Income tax expense decreased to $0 during the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016. Income tax expense during the three months ended June 30, 2016 consisted of federal, state and local income taxes on net income earned by Genco (USA), one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Pursuant to certain agreements, we provided technical management of vessels for MEP in exchange for specified fees for these services provided. These services were provided by Genco (USA), which has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. As such, Genco (USA) was subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide net income, including the net income derived from providing these services.

The decrease in income tax expense during the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period during the prior year is primarily due to a decrease in service revenue recorded by Genco (USA) which was earned from MEP as a result of the sale of MEP’s twelve vessels during 2016. MEP was subsequently dissolved by December 31, 2016. As such, there was no income tax recorded during the second quarter of 2017.

Six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016

VOYAGE REVENUES-

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, voyage revenues increased by $32.0 million, or 62.1%, to $83.6 million as compared to $51.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in voyage revenues was primarily due to higher spot market rates achieved by the majority of our vessels partially offset by the operation of fewer vessels during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period during 2016.

The average Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rate of our fleet increased 105.9% to $7,458 a day for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $3,622 a day for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in TCE rates was primarily due to higher rates achieved by our vessels during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period last year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we had 11,167.4 and 12,695.7 ownership days, respectively. The decrease in ownership days is a result of the sale of nine of our vessels during the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first half of 2017, in addition to the scrapping of one vessel during the second quarter of 2016. Fleet utilization decreased to 97.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2017 from 98.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily as a result of 83.5 offhire days and 34.0 offhire days for the Genco Tiger and Baltic Lion, respectively, related to repairs completed to their main engines.

Refer to the “General” section above for further discussion of the repairs made to the Genco Tiger and Baltic Lion.

SERVICE REVENUES-

Service revenues consist of revenues earned from providing technical services to MEP pursuant to the agency agreement between us and MEP. These services included oversight of crew management, insurance, drydocking, ship operations and financial statement preparation, but did not include chartering services. The services were provided for a fee of $650 per ship per day effective October 1, 2015 pursuant to an agreement entered into between Genco (USA) and MEP. There was no service revenue earned during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as MEP was dissolved effective December 31, 2016 and the remaining MEP vessels were sold during 2016. The $1.2 million of service revenue recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2016 consisted of $0.9 million of management fees and $0.3 million of termination fees related to the sale of five MEP vessels.

VOYAGE EXPENSES-

Voyage expenses decreased by $2.8 million from $7.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $4.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to a difference of

Table of Contents

$4.8 million between current year net bunker gains and prior year net bunker losses. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 the Company recorded $1.1 million of net bunker gains as compared to $3.6 million of net bunker losses during the six months ended June 30, 2016 based on the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer. This was a result of the overall increase in bunker prices. This decrease was partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in bunker consumption during repositioning of our vessels during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

VESSEL OPERATING EXPENSES-

Vessel operating expenses decreased by $9.0 million from $57.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $48.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017. This decrease was primarily due to the operation of a smaller fleet as a result of the sale of nine vessels during the fourth quarter of 2016 and first half of 2017, in addition to the scrapping of one vessel during the second quarter of 2016. Additionally, the decrease was due to lower expenses related to crewing, insurance, as well as the timing of purchases of stores, partially offset by higher drydocking related expenses.

Daily vessel operating expenses decreased to $4,364 per vessel per day for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $4,542 per day for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in daily vessel operating expenses was predominantly due to lower expenses related to crewing and insurance, as well as the timing of purchases of stores and spares, partially offset by higher drydocking 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 six months ended June 30, 2017 were $76 below the weighted-average budgeted rate of $4,440 per vessel per day for the entire year for the core fleet of 60 vessels.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES-

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, general and administrative expenses were $10.7 million and $22.2 million, respectively. The $11.5 million decrease was primarily due to an $8.6 million decrease in nonvested stock amortization expense. Refer to Note 17 — Stock-Based Compensation in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was also due to a $2.7 million decrease in financing related advisory and legal fees.

TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT FEES-

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, technical management fees were $3.9 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The $0.7 million decrease was due to the sale of nine vessels during the fourth quarter of 2016 and first half of 2017, in addition to the scrapping of one vessel during the second quarter of 2016.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION-

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $3.6 million to $36.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $40.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation expense for the nine vessels which were deemed impaired at June 30, 2016 and were written down to their net realizable value at June 30, 2016. These vessels were subsequently sold during the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first half of 2017. Additionally, there was a decrease in depreciation for the Genco Marine which was scrapped on May 17, 2016. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in drydocking amortization expense as a result of additional vessel drydocking during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period last year.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME –

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, other operating income was $0 and $0.2 million, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to a payment of $0.2 million received from Samsun Logix Corporation as part of the cash settlement of the revised rehabilitation plan approved by the South Korean courts on April 8, 2016. Refer to Note 16 — Commitments and Contingencies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the settlement.

IMPAIRMENT OF VESSEL ASSETS -

During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded $3.3 million and $69.3 million of impairment of vessel assets, respectively. At June 30, 2017, we determined that the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the Genco Surprise did not exceed the carrying value of the vessel at June 30, 2017. As such, we reduced the carrying value of the Genco Surprise to its fair market value as of June 30, 2017, which resulted in an impairment loss of $3.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded $67.6 million of impairment for nine of our vessels, the Genco Acheron, Genco Carrier, Genco Leader, Genco Pioneer, Genco Prosperity, Genco Reliance, Genco Success, Genco Sugar, and Genco Wisdom, for which we had deemed that it was more likely than not would be scrapped. These vessels were subsequently sold during the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first half of 2017. Additionally, we recorded $1.7 million of impairment of vessel assets to adjust the net realizable value of the Genco Marine which was scrapped on May 17, 2016.

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

(GAIN) LOSS ON SALE OF VESSELS –

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded a net gain on sale of $7.7 million related primarily to the sale of the Genco Prosperity, Genco Success, Genco Carrier, Genco Reliance and Genco Wisdom for which the sales were completed during the first half of 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded a net loss on sale of vessels of $0.1 million related to the scrapping of the Genco Marine on May 17, 2016.

OTHER (EXPENSE) INCOME-

IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENT –

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded Impairment of investment of $2.7 million. Prior to selling our remaining investment in Jinhui during the fourth quarter of 2016, we reviewed our investment in Jinhui for indicators of other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. Based on our review, we deemed the investment in Jinhui to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2016. Refer to Note 5 — Investments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

NET INTEREST EXPENSE –

Net interest expense increased marginally by $0.2 million from $14.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $14.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Net interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 consisted of interest expense under our credit facilities and amortization of deferred financing costs for those facilities. The increase in net interest expense is primarily due to a $0.6 million increase in interest expense as a result of higher interest rates during the first half of 2017 as compared to the same period during 2016. These increases were partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in interest income earned during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period during 2016 primarily as a result of a higher cash balance due to proceeds from the equity issuance during the fourth quarter of 2016 and proceeds from the sale of vessels. Refer to Note 8 —

REORGANIZATION ITEMS, NET

Reorganization items, net decreased to $0 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016. These reorganization items include trustee fees and professional fees incurred after we emerged from bankruptcy on July 9, 2014 in relation to the Chapter 11 Cases. The decrease is due to the winding down of settlement payments related to the Chapter 11 Cases. As of December 31, 2016, all outstanding claims arising from the Chapter 11 Cases were settled. Refer to Note 15 — Reorganization items, net in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE-

Income tax expense decreased to $0 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016. Income tax expense during the six months ended June 30, 2016 consisted of federal, state and local income taxes on net income earned by Genco (USA), one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Pursuant to an agency agreement, we provided technical management of vessels for MEP in exchange for specified fees for these services provided. These services were provided by Genco (USA), which has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. As such, Genco (USA) was subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide net income, including the net income derived from providing these services.

The decrease in income tax expense during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period during the prior year is primarily due to a decrease in service revenue recorded by Genco (USA) which was earned from MEP as a result of the sale of MEP’s twelve vessels during 2016. MEP was subsequently dissolved by December 31, 2016. As such, there was no income tax recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our liquidity needs arise primarily from drydocking for our vessels and working capital requirements as may be needed to support our business and payments required under our indebtedness. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations, cash on hand, equity offerings and credit facility borrowings. 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, weakness in 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.

Persistent, historically low rates in the drybulk shipping market have led to decreases in our overall revenues and operating losses on some of the charters we enter into. As a result, we have experienced negative cash flows, and in turn, our liquidity has been negatively impacted. To address our liquidity and covenant compliance issues, in November 2016 we refinanced or amended our credit facilities and completed a $125 million capital raise as described below. Based on current market conditions, we believe these measures are sufficient to address such issues for at least the next twelve months. However, if the current market environment persists, declines further, or does not recover sufficiently over a prolonged period of time, we may have insufficient liquidity to fund ongoing operations or satisfy our obligations under our credit facilities, which may lead to a default under one or more of our credit facilities.

On November 10, 2016, we entered into a senior secured loan facility for an aggregate principal amount of $400 million (the “$400 Million Credit Facility”) which was utilized to refinance our $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility, $148 Million Credit Facility, $22 Million Term Loan Facility, $44 Million Term Loan Facility and 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, as defined in Note 8 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The $400 Million Credit Facility was subject to the completion of an equity financing satisfactory to the lenders with gross proceeds to us including the equity commitments as described in Note 8 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of at least $125 million and amendments of our other credit facilities on terms satisfactory to the lenders and other customary conditions.

Table of Contents

As a condition to the effectiveness of the Second Amended Commitment Letter entered into on October 6, 2016 related to the aforementioned $400 Million Credit Facility, we entered into stock purchase agreements effective as of October 4, 2016 (the “Initial Purchase Agreements”) with funds or related entities managed by Centerbridge, SVP and Apollo (the “Investors”) for an aggregate of up to $125 million in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Investors made a firm commitment to purchase shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) for an aggregate of $86.4 million and a backstop commitment to purchase additional shares of common stock for up to $38.6 million, in each case at a purchase price of $4.85 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock was automatically and mandatorily converted into our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, upon approval by our shareholders of such conversion. An additional 1,288,660 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued to the Investors as a commitment fee on a pro rata basis. Subsequently, on October 27, 2016, we entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Additional Purchase Agreement”) with certain of the Investors; John C. Wobensmith, our Chief Executive Officer and President; and other investors for the sale of shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $38.6 million at a purchase price of $4.85 per share. The purchase price and the other terms and conditions of these transactions were established in arm’s length negotiations between an independent special committee of our board of directors (the “Special Committee”) and the investors. The Special Committee unanimously approved the transactions. Refer to Note 8 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. On November 15, 2016, pursuant to the Initial Purchase Agreements and Additional Purchase Agreement, we completed the private placement of 27,061,856 shares of Series A Preferred Stock which included 25,773,196 shares at a price per share of $4.85 and an additional 1,288,660 shares issued as a commitment fee on a pro rata basis as noted above. Refer to Note 1 — General Information.

Additionally, on November 15, 2016, we entered into Supplemental Agreements with lenders under our 2014 Term Loan Facilities (as defined in Note 8 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) which, among other things, amended the Company’s collateral maintenance covenants under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities to provide that such covenants will not be tested through December 30, 2017 and the minimum collateral value to loan ratio will be 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.

Lastly, on November 15, 2016, we also entered into an Amending and Restating Agreement which amended and restated the credit agreements and the guarantee for the $98 Million Credit Facility (as defined in Note 8 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) (the “Restated $98 Million Credit Facility”). The Restated $98 Million Credit Facility provides for the following: reductions in the minimum liquidity requirements consistent with the $400 Million Credit Facility; netting of certain amounts against the measurements of the collateral maintenance covenant, which remains 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, be 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.

At June 30, 2017, we believe we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the $400 Million Credit Facility, the 2014 Term Loan Facilities and the Restated $98 Million Credit Facility.

Excess cash from the collateralized vessels under our $400 Million Credit Facility are subject to a cash sweep. The cash sweep will be 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 is required from the first $10 million in aggregate of the prepayments otherwise required under the cash sweep. As of June 30, 2017, the amount of our aggregate excess cash flow was approximately $5.2 million. If our revenues and expenses for the second quarter were to remain at such levels, we anticipate that our aggregate excess cash flow would exceed $10 million as early as the third quarter of 2017 and excess cash would be payable under the cash sweep during the fourth quarter of 2017.

Table of Contents

In the future, we may require capital to fund ongoing operations, debt service, and growth and to maintain compliance with our credit facility covenants. We may also seek to refinance our indebtedness, obtain waivers or modifications to our credit agreements from our lenders (which may be unavailable or subject to conditions) or raise additional capital through selling assets (including vessels), reduce or delay capital expenditures, or pursue strategic opportunities and equity or debt offerings. However, if market conditions are unfavorable, we may be unable to accomplish any of the foregoing on acceptable terms or at all.

Dividends

We are currently prohibited from paying dividends under certain of our facilities other than limited dividend amounts attributable to wholly-owned, non-recourse subsidiaries that meet certain criteria under our credit facilities. The longest such restriction is in effect until December 31, 2020. Following December 31, 2020, the amount of dividends we may pay is generally limited based on the amount of our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as compared to the minimum liquidity amount in effect from time to time under the $400 Million Facility and the 2014 Term Loan Facilities, the repayment of at least $25 million of the loan under the $98 Million Credit Facility, and the ratio of the value of vessels and certain other collateral pledged under the each of our credit facilities to the amount of the loan outstanding under such facility. In addition, under the $98 Million Credit Facility, dividends may only be paid out of excess cash flow of Genco and its subsidiaries (as defined such facility). Moreover, we would make dividend payments to our shareholders only if our Board of Directors, acting in its sole discretion, determines that such payments would be in our best interest and in compliance with relevant legal and contractual requirements. The principal business factors that our Board of Directors would consider when determining the timing and amount of dividend payments would be our earnings, financial condition and cash requirements at the time. Marshall Islands law generally prohibits the declaration and payment of dividends other than from surplus. Marshall Islands law also prohibits the declaration and payment of dividends while a company is insolvent or would be rendered insolvent by the payment of such a dividend.

Cash Flow

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $0.6 million and $41.2 million, respectively. Included in the net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are $3.3 million and $72.0 million of non-cash impairment charges, respectively. Also included in the net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are $2.3 million and $10.9 million, respectively, of non-cash amortization of nonvested stock compensation related to the Company’s equity incentive plans. There was also a gain on sale of vessels in the amount of $7.7 million due to the sale of five vessels and paid in kind interest of $3.0 million related to the $400 Million Credit Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $3.7 million primarily due to the operation of fewer vessels during the first half of 2017 as well as the revaluation of ten of our vessels to their estimated net realizable value during the first half of 2016. Additionally, the fluctuation in prepaid expense and other current assets decreased by $8.8 million due to the timing of prepaid payments made and the hull and machinery insurance claims for repairs of the Genco Tiger and Baltic Lion. Lastly, there was a $4.2 million increase in deferred drydocking costs incurred because there were more vessels that completed drydocking during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period during 2016. This was offset by an increase in the fluctuation in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2.9 million due to the timing payments.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $17.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $3.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase is primarily due to $13.6 million increase in the proceeds from the sale of five vessels during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the scrapping of one vessel during the six months ended June 30, 2016. Additionally, there was a $1.8 million decrease in deposits of restricted cash during the six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily as a result of the release of restricted cash for required capital expenditures for our vessels. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $2.4 million for the proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Net cash used in financing activities was $2.7 million and $26.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities of $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 consisted primarily of the following: $1.1 million payment of Series A Preferred Stock issuance costs; $1.4 million

repayment of debt under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities; and $0.2 million repayment of debt under the $400 Million Credit Facility. Net cash used in financing activities of $26.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 consisted primarily of the following: $10.2 million repayment of debt under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, $6.0 million repayment of debt under the $148 Million Credit Facility, $3.8 million repayment of debt under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $3.3 million repayment of debt under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, $1.4 million repayment of debt under $44 Million Term Loan Facility, $1.4 million repayment of debt under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities; and $0.8 million repayment of debt under the $22 Million Term Loan Facility. On November 15, 2016, the $400 Million Credit Facility refinanced the following six credit facilities: the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, the $148 Million Credit Facility, the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, the $44 Million Term Loan Facility and the $22 Million Term Loan Facility.

Credit Facilities

Refer to the 2016 10-K for a summary and description of our outstanding credit facilities, including the underlying financial and non-financial covenants, which are incorporated herein by reference. On November 10, 2016, we entered into the $400 Million Credit Facility which refinanced the following six of our credit facilities on November 15, 2016: the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, the $44 Million Term Loan Facility, the $148 Million Credit Facility and the $22 Million Term Loan Facility.

Refer to Note 8 —Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding agreements and waivers that were entered into, in addition to the terms and fees associated with those agreements.

At June 30, 2017, we believed we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the $400 Million Credit Facility, the Restated $98 Million Credit Facility and the 2014 Term Loan Facilities.

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

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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.

As part of our business strategy, we may enter into arrangements commonly known as forward freight agreements, or FFAs, to hedge and manage market risks relating to the deployment of our existing fleet of vessels. These arrangements may include future contracts, or commitments to perform in the future a shipping service between ship owners, charterers and traders. 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. 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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Contractual Obligations

The following table sets forth our contractual obligations and their scheduled maturity dates as of June 30, 2017. The table incorporates the employment agreement entered into in September 2007 with our Chief Executive Officer and President, John C. Wobensmith, which was amended on March 23, 2017. The interest and borrowing fees and scheduled credit agreement payments below reflect the $400 Million Credit Facility, the $98 Million Credit Facility and the 2014 Term Loan Facilities, as well as other fees associated with the facilities. For the interest and scheduled

Table of Contents

credit agreement payments for the $400 Million Credit Facility, we have assumed that we will elect that 1.50% of the interest expense will be paid in-kind (“PIK interest”) through December 31, 2018, of which will be payable on the maturity date of the facility, November 15, 2021. Refer to Note 8 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the terms of the aforementioned credit facilities. The following table also incorporates the future lease payments associated with the lease for our current space.

Represents the six-month period ending December 31, 2017.

Interest expense has been estimated using 1.30% plus the applicable margin of 3.75% for the $400 Million Credit Facility, 6.125% for the $98 Million Credit Facility and 2.50% for the 2014 Term Loan Facilities.

Capital Expenditures

We make capital expenditures from time to time in connection with our vessel acquisitions. Our fleet currently consists of 60 drybulk vessels, including 13 Capesize drybulk carriers, six Panamax drybulk carriers, four Ultramax drybulk carriers, 21 Supramax drybulk carriers, one Handymax drybulk carriers and 15 Handysize drybulk carriers.

As previously announced, we have initiated a fuel efficiency upgrade program for certain of our vessels. We believe this program will generate considerable fuel savings going forward and increase the future earnings potential for these vessels. The upgrades have been successfully installed on 16 of our vessels, which completed their respective planned drydockings during 2014 and 2015. We did not install fuel efficiency upgrades on any vessels during 2016. During the second quarter of 2017 we installed the fuel efficiency upgrade on the Genco London for approximately $0.2 million during its planned drydocking.

Under U.S. Federal law and 33 CFR, Part 151, Subpart D, U.S. approved ballast water treatment systems 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 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. We had applied for a supplement to this application for vessels drydocking in 2016 in order get a further extension to the vessels’ next scheduled drydockings in year 2021. We have received extensions on most of the applications and we are awaiting the USCG’s formal notice of approval for certain vessels. The cost of these systems will vary based on the size of the vessel, and the Company estimates the cost of the systems to be $1.0 million for Capesize, $0.8 million for Panamax, $0.8 million for Supramax, $0.7 million for Handymax and $0.7 million for Handysize vessels. Any newbuilding vessels that we acquire will have at least an AMS installed when the vessel is being built. Additionally, for our vessels 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. In addition, on September 8, 2016, the BWM Convention was ratified and had an original effective date of September 8, 2017. On July 7, 2017, the effective date of the BWM Convention was extended two years to September 8, 2019. This will require vessels to have ballast water treatment systems installed to coincide with the vessels’ next IOPP renewal survey after September 8, 2019. In order for a vessel to trade in U.S. waters, it must

Table of Contents

be compliant with the installation date as required by the USCG as outlined above. The costs of ballast water treatment systems will be capitalized and depreciated over the remainder of the life of the vessel, assuming the system the Company installs becomes approved by both the IMO and the USCG. These amounts would be in addition to the amounts budgeted for drydocking below.

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. We estimate our drydocking costs, including capitalized costs incurred during drydocking related to vessel assets and vessel equipment, and scheduled off-hire days for our fleet through 2018 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 from operations. These costs do not include drydock expense items that are reflected in vessel operating expenses or potential costs associated with the installation of ballast water treatment systems and fuel efficiency upgrades as noted above.

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 six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred a total of $5.3 million and $1.1 million of drydocking costs, respectively, excluding costs incurred during drydocking that were capitalized to vessel assets or vessel equipment.

Ten of our vessels completed drydockings during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Additionally, there was one drydocking that began in June 2017 and crossed over into July 2017. We estimate that a total of five of our vessels, including the aforementioned vessel for which the drydocking was in progress at June 30, 2017, will be drydocked during the remainder of 2017 and four of our vessels will be drydocked during 2018.

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 the critical accounting policies as disclosed in the 2016 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

Table of Contents

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 2016 10-K. Excluding the three Bourbon vessels we resold immediately upon delivery to MEP at our cost, we have sold thirteen 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. Additionally, we incurred a $53.8 million loss from the forfeiture of our deposit and related interest when we determined to cancel an acquisition of six drybulk newbuildings in November 2008.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded a loss of $3.3 million related to the impairment of vessel assets for the Genco Surprise. At June 30, 2017, we determined that the future undiscounted cash flows did not exceed the net book value for the Genco Surprise; therefore we adjusted the value of the Genco Surprise to its fair market value which resulted in an impairment loss of $3.3 million. Refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded losses of $67.6 million and $69.3 million, respectively, related to the impairment of vessel assets. There was $67.6 million of impairment expense recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 for nine of our vessels, the Genco Acheron, Genco Carrier, Genco Leader, Genco Pioneer, Genco Prosperity, Genco Reliance, Genco Success, Genco Sugar, and Genco Wisdom, for which we had determined it was more likely than not would be scrapped pursuant to the terms of the Commitment Letter that we entered into on June 8, 2016. These vessels have been subsequently sold during the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first half of 2017. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, a $1.7 million impairment loss was recorded for the Genco Marine when we had determined that it was more likely than not that the vessel would be scrapped. On April 5, 2016, the Board of Directors unanimously approved scrapping the Genco Marine and it was sold to a demolition yard and scrapped on May 17, 2016. Refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information which describes how we determined that these vessel assets were impaired.

Pursuant to our credit facilities, we regularly submit to the 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 covenants under our $400 Million Credit Facility, $98 Million Credit Facility and the 2014 Term Loan Facilities as of June 30 2017. Refer to Note 8 — 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 credit facilities. For unencumbered vessels, we utilized the June 30, 2016 vessel valuations at December 31, 2016 as these vessels were impaired as of June 30, 2016 and vessels valuations were not obtained since. 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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Vessels have been grouped according to their collateralized status as of June 30, 2017. The carrying value of the Genco Surprise at June 30, 2017 and the carrying value of the Genco Carrier, Genco Prosperity, Genco Reliance, Genco Success and Genco Wisdom at December 31, 2016 reflect the impairment loss recorded for these vessels.

At June 30, 2017, 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 June 30, 2017, with the exception of the Baltic Lion, Genco Tiger and the Genco Surprise (which was written down to its fair market value as

Table of Contents

noted above). At December 31, 2016, 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 December 31, 2016, with the exception of the five aforementioned vessels (Genco Carrier, Genco Prosperity, Genco Reliance, Genco Success and Genco Wisdom) which were unencumbered at December 31, 2016 and were written down to their estimated net realizable value as of June 30, 2016 it was determined the vessel assets were impaired.

The amount by which the carrying value at June 30, 2017 of all of the vessels in our fleet, with the exception of the three aforementioned vessels, exceeded the valuation of such vessels for covenant compliance purposes ranged, on an individual vessel basis, from $3.4 million to $14.4 million per vessel, and $451.4 million on an aggregate fleet basis. The amount by which the carrying value at December 31, 2016 of all of the vessels in our fleet, with the exception of the five aforementioned vessels, exceeded the valuation of such vessels for covenant compliance purposes ranged, on an individual vessel basis, from $4.3 million to $23.2 million per vessel, and $678.9 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 $7.9 million at June 30, 2017 and $11.3 million as of December 31, 2016. However, neither such valuation nor the carrying value in the table below reflects the value of long-term time charters related to some of our vessels.

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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we were subject to the following interest rates on the outstanding debt under our credit facilities:

$400 Million Credit Facility — three-month LIBOR plus 3.75% effective November 14, 2016, when the draw down on this facility was made

$98 Million Credit Facility — three-month LIBOR plus 6.125%

2014 Term Loan Facilities — three-month or six-month LIBOR plus 2.50%

2015 Revolving Credit Facility — three-month LIBOR plus a range of 3.40% to 4.25% until November 15, 2016

$148 Million Credit Facility — LIBOR plus 3.00% until November 15, 2016

$44 Million Term Loan Facility — three-month LIBOR plus 3.35% until November 15, 2016

Table of Contents

$22 Million Term Loan Facility — three-month LIBOR plus 3.35% until November 15, 2016

$253 Million Term Loan Facility — three-month or six-month LIBOR plus 3.50% until November 15, 2016

$100 Million Term Loan Facility — LIBOR plus 3.50% until November 15, 2016

A 1% increase in LIBOR would result in an increase of $2.6 million in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we did not have any derivative financial instruments.

Currency and exchange rates risk

The international shipping industry’s functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. 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.

Investments

We held investments in equity securities of Jinhui, which were classified as available for sale (“AFS”) under Accounting Standards Codification 320-10, “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities” (“ASC 320-10”). Pursuant to guidance in ASC 320-10, changes between our cost basis in these securities and their market value were recognized as an adjustment to their carrying values with an offsetting adjustment to AOCI at each reporting date. Prior to the sale of our remaining shares of Jinhui during the fourth quarter of 2016, we reviewed the carrying value of such investments on a quarterly basis to determine if there were any indicators of other-than-temporary impairment in accordance with ASC 320-10. Based on our review as of June 30, 2016, we deemed our investment in Jinhui to be other-than-temporarily impaired due to the duration and severity of the decline in its market value versus its cost basis and the absence of the intent and ability to recover the initial carrying value of the investment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, a total loss of $2.7 million has been recorded as impairment of investment in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Refer to Note 5 — Investments in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 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.
