1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Genco Shipping & Trading Limited (“GS&T”) and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels. GS&T is incorporated under the laws of the Marshall Islands, and as of March 31, 2020, is the direct or indirect owner of all of the outstanding shares or limited liability company interests of the following subsidiaries: Genco Ship Management LLC; Genco Investments LLC; Genco RE Investments LLC; Genco Shipping Pte. Ltd.; Genco Shipping A/S; Baltic Trading Limited (“Baltic Trading”); and the ship-owning subsidiaries as set forth below under “Other General Information.” 

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

At present, it is not possible to ascertain the overall impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operational and financial performance, which may take some time to materialize and may not be fully reflected in the results for 2020.  However, an increase in the severity or duration or a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, the carrying value of the Company’s assets, the fair values of the Company’s vessels, and the Company’s ability to pay dividends. 

Other General Information

Below is the list of the Company’s wholly owned ship-owning subsidiaries as of March 31, 2020:

2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation

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

Basis of presentation

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

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

Segment reporting

The Company reports financial information and evaluates its operations by voyage revenues and not by the length of ship employment for its customers, i.e., spot or time charters.  Each of the Company’s vessels serve the same type of customer, have similar operations and maintenance requirements, operate in the same regulatory environment, and are subject to similar economic characteristics. Based on this, the Company has determined that it operates in one reportable segment, the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels. 

Restricted cash

Current and non-current restricted cash includes cash that is restricted pursuant to our credit facilities.  Refer to Note 7 — Debt.  The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same amounts shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

Vessels held for sale

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

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

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

Vessels, net

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

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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had an accrual of $303 and $577, respectively, related to these estimated customer claims.

Revenue recognition

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

Time charters

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

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

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

Spot market voyage charters

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

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

Pursuant to the revenue recognition guidance as disclosed in Note 12 — Voyage Revenues, revenue for spot market voyage charters is recognized ratably over the total transit time of each voyage, which commences at the time the vessel arrives at the loading port and ends at the time the discharge of cargo is completed at the discharge port.  

Vessel Pools

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

Voyage expense recognition

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

Charter hire expenses

The costs to charter-in these vessels, which primarily include the daily charter hire rate net of commissions or net freight revenue, are recorded as Charter hire expenses.  The Company recorded $3,075 and $2,419 of charter hire expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Impairment of vessel assets

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded $112,814 and $0, respectively, related to the impairment of vessel assets in accordance with ASC 360 — “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”). 

At March 31, 2020, the Company determined that the expected estimated future undiscounted cash flows for four of our Supramax vessels, the Genco Picardy, the Genco Predator, the Genco Provence and the Genco Warrior, did not exceed the net book value of these vessels as of March 31, 2020.  The Company adjusted the carrying value of these vessels to their respective fair market values as of March 31, 2020.  This resulted in an impairment loss of $27,046 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. 

On February 24, 2020, the Board of Directors determined to dispose of the Company’s following ten Handysize vessels: the Baltic Hare, the Baltic Fox, the Baltic Wind, the Baltic Cove, the Baltic Breeze, the Genco Ocean, the Genco Bay, the Genco Avra, the Genco Mare and the Genco Spirit, at times and on terms to be determined in the future.  Given this decision, and that the revised estimated future undiscounted cash flows for each of these older vessels did not exceed the net book value for each vessel given the estimated probabilities of whether the vessels will be sold, the Company adjusted the values of these older vessels to their respective fair market values during the three months ended March 31, 2020.  Subsequent to February 24, 2020, the Company has entered into agreements to sell three of these vessels during the three months ended March 31, 2020, namely the Baltic Wind, the Baltic Breeze and the Genco Bay, which were adjusted to their net sales price.  This resulted in an impairment loss of $85,768 during the three months ended March 31, 2020.  Refer to Note 4 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions for further detail regarding the vessel sales. 

Loss (gain) on sale of vessels

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a net loss of $486 related to the sale of vessels.  The net loss of $486 recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020 related primarily to the sale of the Genco Charger and Genco Thunder.  During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded a net gain of $611 related to the sale of vessels.  The net gain of $611 recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2019 related primarily to the sale of the Genco Vigour. 

Recent accounting pronouncements

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

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses" ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 amends the current financial instrument impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. ASU 2016-13 was effective on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted.  The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 during the first quarter of 2020 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”).” ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance in U.S. GAAP on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates.  This ASU is effective for adoption at any time between March 12, 2020 and December 31, 2022.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this adoption on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 

3 - CASH FLOW INFORMATION

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company had non-cash investing activities not included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for items included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses consisting of $2,950 for the Purchase of scrubbers, $1,314 for the Purchase of vessels and ballast water treatment systems, including deposits, $548 for the Purchase of other fixed assets and $196 for the Net proceeds from sale of vessels.  For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company had non-cash financing activities not included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for items included in Accounts payable and accrued expense consisting of $97 for Cash dividends paid.

Refer to Note 15 — Stock-Based Compensation for further information regarding the aforementioned grants.   

4 - VESSEL ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

Vessel Dispositions

On March 20, 2020, the Company entered into agreements to sell the Baltic Breeze and Genco Bay, both 2010-built Handysize vessels, for $7,900 each less a 2.0% broker commission payable to a third party.  The sales are expected to be completed during the second and third quarter of 2020.  The vessel assets have been classified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2020.  Refer to “Impairment of vessel assets” section in Note 2 —  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for impairment expense recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

On March 2, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Baltic Wind, a 2009-built Handysize vessel, for $7,750 less a 2.0% broker commission payable to a third party.  The sale is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2020.  The vessel assets have been classified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2020.  Refer to “Impairment of vessel assets” section in Note 2 —  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for impairment expense recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

On September 25, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Genco Thunder, a 2007-built Panamax vessel, for $10,400 less a 2.0% broker commission payable to a third party.  The sale was completed on March 5, 2020.  The vessel assets have been classified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2019.

On February 3, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Genco Charger, a 2005-built Handysize vessel, to a third party for $5,150 less a 1.0% commission payable to a third party.  The sale of the Genco Charger was completed on February 24, 2020.  

On November 4, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Genco Raptor, a 2007-built Panamax vessel, for $10,200 less a 2.0% broker commission payable to a third party.  The sale was completed on December 11, 2019. 

The Genco Thunder, Genco Charger and Genco Raptor served as collateral under the $495 Million Credit facility; therefore $5,339,  $3,471 and $6,045, respectively, of the net proceeds received from the sale will remain classified as restricted cash for 180 days following the respective sale dates, which has been reflected as restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2020.  As of December 31, 2019, a total amount of $6,045 was reflected as restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the Genco Raptor.  These amounts can be used towards the financing of a replacement vessel or vessels meeting certain requirements and added as collateral under the facility.  If such a replacement vessel is not added as collateral within such 180 day period, the Company will be required to use the proceeds as a loan prepayment.  

On September 20, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Genco Champion, a 2006-built Handysize vessel, for $6,600 less a 3.0% broker commission payable to a third party.  The sale was completed on October 21, 2019.  On August 2, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Genco Challenger, a 2003-built Handysize vessel, for $5,250 less a 2.0% broker commission payable to a third party.  The sale was completed on October 10, 2019.  The Genco Champion and Genco Challenger served as collateral under the $495 Million Credit Facility; therefore, $6,880 of the net proceeds from the sale of these two vessels was required to be used as a loan prepayment since a replacement vessels was not going to be added as collateral within 180 days following the respective sales dates.  Refer to Note 7 — Debt for further information.

On November 23, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Genco Vigour, a 1999-built Panamax vessel, to a third party for $6,550 less a 2.0% broker commission payable to a third party.  The sale was completed on January 28, 2019.  The Genco Vigour did not serve as collateral under any of the Company’s credit facilities.

Refer to Note 1 — General Information for a listing of the delivery dates for the vessels in the Company’s fleet.

5 - NET LOSS PER 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 15 — Stock-Based Compensation), for which the assumed proceeds upon vesting are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost attributable to future services and are not yet recognized using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive.  There were 288,185 restricted stock units and 837,338 stock options excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share during the three months ended March 31, 2020 because they were anti-dilutive.  There were 242,722 restricted stock units and 496,418 stock options excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share during the three months ended March 31, 2019 because they were anti-dilutive (refer to Note 15 — Stock-Based Compensation). 

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

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