GS&T is incorporated under the laws of the Marshall Islands, and as of September 30, 2016, is the sole 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; and the ship-owning subsidiaries as set forth below under “Other General Information.” As of September 30, 2016, Genco Ship Management LLC is the sole owner of all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of Genco Management (USA) LLC.

On April 15, 2016, the shareholders of the Company approved, at a Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Special Meeting”), proposals to amend the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company to (i) increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 250,000,000 to 500,000,000 and (ii) authorize the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, in one or more classes or series as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. The authorized shares did not change as a result of the reverse stock split. Following the Special Meeting on such date, the Company filed Articles of Amendment of its Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Registrar of Corporations of the Republic of the Marshall Islands to implement to the foregoing amendments. Additionally, at the Special Meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved a proposal to amend the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company to effect a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock at a ratio between 1-for-2 and 1-for-25 with such reverse stock split to be effective at such time and date, if at all, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, but no later than one year after shareholder approval thereof.

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 presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements, with the exception of any share information for Baltic Trading, reflect the reverse stock split. Refer to Note 6 — Net Loss per Common Share and Note 18 — Stock-Based Compensation.

On October 13, 2016, Peter C. Georgiopoulos resigned as 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 is to receive 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 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 price per share ranging $259.10 to $341.90. Refer to Note 18 — Stock-Based Compensation. The agreements also contain customary provisions pertaining to confidential information, releases of claims by Mr. Georgiopoulos, and other restrictive covenants.

Liquidity, Going Concern, and Reclassification of Debt to Current

For purposes of preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), the Company is required to disclose if it is in compliance with covenants under all of its nine credit facilities on a quarterly basis. Pursuant to the Second Amended Commitment Letter, the Amended $98 Million Credit Facility Commitment Letter and the waiver entered into for the 2014 Term Loan Facilities (refer to Note 8 — Debt for defined terms), the collateral maintenance and maximum leverage requirements under all nine of the Company’s credit facilities have been waived through September 30, 2016, with the exception of the Amended $98 Million Credit Facility Commitment Letter, which reduced the collateral maintenance requirement from

9

Table of Contents

140% to 120% and the 2014 Term Loan Facilities, for which the waivers were extended through November 15, 2016, except that such extended waivers under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities will be void if Sinosure gives written notice to the agent bank that it does not approve the waivers. Each of the Company’s credit facilities contain cross default provisions that could be triggered by the Company’s failure to satisfy or waive its collateral maintenance and maximum leverage covenants once the waivers expire. Given the existence of the cross default provisions and the absence of any current solution which would cure the noncompliance for at least the next twelve months, absent entering into the New Facility (see Note 8 — Debt), the Company has determined that it should classify its outstanding indebtedness as a current liability as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Persistent weak drybulk industry conditions and historically low charter rates have negatively impacted the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity and may continue to do so in the future. The negative impact on the Company’s liquidity, together with a continued decline in vessel values, presents difficulties for remaining in compliance with its credit facility covenants relating to minimum cash, leverage ratios, and collateral maintenance (refer to Note 8 — Debt), which could potentially result in defaults and acceleration of the repayment of its outstanding indebtedness. These factors, as well as recurring losses from operations and negative working capital, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon, among other things, its ability to: (i) develop and successfully implement a plan to address these factors, which may include refinancing the Company’s existing credit agreements, or obtaining further waivers or modifications to its credit agreements from its lenders, or raising additional capital through selling assets (including vessels), reducing or delaying capital expenditures, or pursuing other options that may be available to the Company which may include pursuing strategic opportunities and equity or debt offerings or potentially seeking protection in a Chapter 11 proceeding; (ii) return to profitability, (iii) generate sufficient cash flow from operations, (iv) remain in compliance with its credit facility covenants, as the same may be modified, and (v) obtain financing sources to meet the Company’s future obligations. Refer to “Commitment Letter” section in Note 8 — Debt for a discussion of the New Facility for an aggregate principal amount of up to $400,000. The realization of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities are subject to uncertainty. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any direct adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, except in regards to the classification of outstanding indebtedness as described above.

Merger Agreement with Baltic Trading

On April 7, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Baltic Trading Limited (“Baltic Trading”) under which the Company acquired Baltic Trading in a stock-for-stock transaction (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the agreement, Baltic Trading became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Baltic Trading shareholders (other than the Company and its subsidiaries) received 0.216 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of Baltic Trading’s common stock they owned at closing, with fractional shares to be settled in cash. Upon consummation of the transaction on July 17, 2015, the Company’s shareholders owned approximately 84.5% of the combined company, and Baltic Trading’s shareholders (other than the Company and its subsidiaries) owned approximately 15.5% of the combined company. Shares of Baltic Trading’s Class B stock (all of which are owned by the Company) were canceled in the Merger. The Company’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange after consummation of the transaction on July 20, 2015. The Boards of Directors of both the Company and Baltic Trading established independent special committees to review the transaction and negotiate the terms on behalf of their respective companies. Both independent special committees unanimously approved the transaction. The Boards of Directors of both companies approved the Merger by a unanimous vote of directors present and voting, with Peter C. Georgiopoulos, former Chairman of the Board of each company, recused for the vote. The Merger was approved on July 17, 2015 at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”).

Prior to the completion of the Merger, the Company prepared its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and consolidated the operations of Baltic Trading. The Baltic Trading common shares that the Company acquired in the Merger were previously recognized as a noncontrolling interest in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Under U.S. GAAP, changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do

10

Table of Contents

not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary are considered equity transactions (i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners) with any difference between the amount by which the noncontrolling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid attributed to the equity of the parent. Accordingly, any difference between the fair value of the Company’s common shares issued in exchange for Baltic Trading common shares pursuant to the Merger was reflected as an adjustment to the equity in the Company. No gain or loss has been recognized in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss upon completion of the transaction.

Acquisition of Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger

Additionally, on April 7, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement under which the Company acquired all of the shares of two single-purpose vessel owning entities that were wholly owned by Baltic Trading, each of which owned one Capesize drybulk vessel, specifically the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger, for an aggregate purchase price of $68,500, subject to reduction for $40,563 of outstanding first-mortgage debt of such single-purpose entities that was guaranteed by the Company. For further details, refer to the “Impairment of vessel assets” Section in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. These transactions, which closed on April 8, 2015, were accounted for pursuant to accounting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), for transactions among entities under common control. Accordingly, the difference between the cash paid to Baltic Trading and the Company’s carrying value of the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger as of the closing date of $590 was reflected as an adjustment to Additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Equity when the sale was completed on April 7, 2015. The independent special committees of both companies’ Boards of Directors reviewed and approved these transactions.

The Company formerly provided technical services for drybulk vessels purchased by Maritime Equity Partners (“MEP”). Peter C. Georgiopoulos, former Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, is a director of and has a minority interest in 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 Management (USA) LLC and MEP entered into certain agreements under which MEP paid $2,178 of the amount of service fees in arrears (of which $261 was paid in 2016 by the new owners of five of the 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, 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. Refer to Note 7 – Related Party Transactions for amounts due to or from MEP as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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, 2015 (the “2015 10-K”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.

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, after the effective date of the Merger on July 17, 2015, which is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels. Prior to the Merger, the Company had two reportable operating segments, GS&T and Baltic Trading.

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 September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $17,077 and $19,172, respectively. Depreciation expense for vessels for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $54,752 and $56,869, 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

On September 30, 2016, the Board of Directors authorized the sale of the Genco Sugar and Genco Pioneer. As such, these vessel assets have been classified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2016. Refer to Note 4 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions and Note 20 — Subsequent Events 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 September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had an accrual of $398 and $498, 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. 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 loss of $390 and $3,099 during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These differences in bunkers, including lower of cost or market adjustments, resulted in a net loss of $4,195 and $6,957 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Additionally, voyage expenses include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.

Other operating income

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded other operating income of $0 and $182, respectively. There was no operating income earned during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. Other operating income recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 consists 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 17 — Commitments and Contingencies for further information regarding the bankruptcy settlement with Samsun.

Impairment of vessel assets

During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not record any impairment of vessel assets in accordance with ASC 360 — “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded $69,278 and $35,396, respectively, related to the impairment of vessel assets in accordance with ASC 360.

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 New 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 nine months ended September 30, 2016.

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 $1,684 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. 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.

At March 31, 2015, the Company determined that the sale of the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger was more likely than not based on Baltic Trading’s expressed consideration to divest of those vessels. Therefore, at March 31, 2015, the time utilized to determine the recoverability of the carrying value of the vessel assets was significantly reduced. Similarly, after determining that the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger would not exceed the carrying value of the respective vessels at March 31, 2015, the Company reduced the carrying value of both vessels to their estimated fair value, which was determined primarily based on appraisals and third-party broker quotes. This resulted in an impairment loss of $35,396 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. On April 8, 2015, the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger entities were sold to GS&T. Refer to Note 1 — General Information for details pertaining to the sale of these entities.

Loss on disposal of vessels

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded $0 and $77 related to the loss on the sale of the Genco Marine, respectively.

Noncontrolling interest

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $7,178 and $59,471, respectively, reflects the noncontrolling interest’s share of the net loss of the Company’s subsidiary, Baltic Trading, prior to the Merger on July 17, 2015, which owned and employed drybulk vessels in the spot market, in vessel pools or on spot market-related time charters. The spot market represents immediate chartering of a vessel, usually for single voyages. Refer to Note 1— General Information for details pertaining to the Merger.

Investments

The Company holds 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 have been designated as Available For Sale (“AFS”) and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”). The Company classifies the investments as current or noncurrent assets based on the Company’s intent to hold the investments at each reporting date.

Investments are 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 reviews 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, as well as provides technical management of vessels for MEP in exchange for specified fees for these services provided. These services are performed by Genco Management (USA) LLC (“Genco (USA)”), which has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. As such, Genco (USA) is subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide net income, including the net income derived from providing these services. Genco (USA) has entered into a cost-sharing agreement with the Company and Genco Ship Management LLC, collectively Manco, pursuant to which Genco (USA) agrees 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.

After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $829 associated with these activities for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This resulted in estimated tax expense of $417 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Total revenue earned by the Company for these services during the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $1,012 of which $184 eliminated upon consolidation. After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $593 associated with these activities for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

This resulted in estimated tax expense of $1,499 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Prior to the Merger, Baltic Trading was subject to income tax on its United States source income. However, as a result of the Merger, Baltic Trading should qualify for the Section 883 exemption of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended) in 2016 and in future taxable years as long as GS&T qualifies for the Section 883 exemption. As such, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, there was no United States income tax recorded for

Recent accounting pronouncements

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“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 are 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 August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15 (“ASU 2015-15”), which amends presentation and disclosure requirements outlined in ASU 2015-03, “Interest-Imputation of Interest (ASC Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” (“ASU 2015-03”) by clarifying guidance for debt issuance costs related to line of credit arrangements by acknowledging the statement by SEC staff that it would not object to presentation of debt issuance costs related to a line of credit arrangement as an asset, and amortizing them ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement, regardless of whether there were any borrowings outstanding under the agreement. Issued in April 2015, ASU 2015-03 required debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, similar to the presentation of debt discounts. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2015-03, debt issuance costs were required to be presented as deferred charge assets, separate from the related debt liability. ASU 2015-03 does not change the recognition and measurement requirements for debt issuance costs. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 on a retrospective basis. Refer to Note 8 – Debt.

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, the FASB issued No. ASU 2016-12, “Revenue Recognition - Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.” The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company reviews 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 and December 31, 2015 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 nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company will continue to review its investments in Jinhui and KLC for impairment on a quarterly basis.

Refer to Note 9 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for a breakdown of the components of AOCI, including the effects of any sales of Jinhui shares and other-than-temporary impairment of the investment in Jinhui.

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 (refer to Note 18 — 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 164,910 nonvested shares outstanding, including RSUs, at September 30, 2016 (refer to Note 18 — Stock-Based Compensation), all are anti-dilutive. Of the 2,852,487 of MIP Warrants and 3,936,761 of equity warrants outstanding at September 30, 2016, 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 18 — Stock-Based Compensation) if the impact is dilutive under the treasury stock method.

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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-03 (refer to Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as a deferred financing cost assets. The Company applied this guidance for all of its credit facilities with the exception of the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility and the revolving credit facility portion of the $148 Million Credit Facility, which represent revolving credit agreements which are not addressed in ASU 2015-03. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2016, $7,821 of deferred financing costs were presented as a direct deduction within the outstanding debt balance in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Furthermore, the Company reclassified $9,411 of deferred financing costs from Deferred Financing Costs, net to the Current Portion of Long-Term Debt as of December 31, 2015.

Commitment Letter

On June 8, 2016, the Company entered into a Commitment Letter (the “Commitment Letter”) for a senior secured loan facility (the “New Facility”) for an aggregate principal amount of up to $400,000 with Nordea Bank Finland plc, New York Branch, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ), DVB Bank SE, ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Deutsche Bank AG Filiale Deutschlandgeschäft, Crédit Industriel et Commercial, and BNP Paribas. The New Facility is intended to refinance the Company’s $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 below (collectively, the “Prior Facilities”). The New Facility is subject to definitive documentation, and the Company’s ability to borrow under the New Facility is subject to a number of conditions, including the completion of an equity financing satisfactory to the lenders with gross proceeds to the Company including the equity commitments described below of at least $125,000, amendment of the Company’s other credit facilities on terms satisfactory to the lenders and other customary conditions. As a condition to the effectiveness of the Commitment Letter, the Company entered into separate equity commitment letters for a portion

of such financing on June 8, 2016 with each of the following: (i) funds or related entities managed by Centerbridge Partners, L.P. or its affiliates (“Centerbridge”) for approximately $31,200, (ii) funds or related entities managed by Strategic Value Partners, LLC (“SVP”) for approximately $17,300, and (iii) funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC (“Apollo”) for approximately $14,000, each of which are subject to a number of conditions. Additionally, pursuant to the Commitment Letter, the waivers with regard to the collateral maintenance covenants 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 the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, as defined below, were initially extended to July 29, 2016 subject to the entry into a definitive purchase agreement for the equity financing referred to above by June 30, 2016.

On June 30, 2016 the Company entered into an amendment and restatement of the Commitment Letter (the “Amended Commitment Letter”). This amendment extended the collateral maintenance waivers under the Prior Facilities through 11:59 p.m. on September 30, 2016, which were further extended to October 7, 2016 pursuant to an additional agreement entered into with the lenders on September 30, 2016. On October 6, 2016, the collateral maintenance waivers were further extended through November 15, 2016 pursuant to the Second Amended Commitment Letter (as defined below). Additionally, the Second Amended Commitment Letter (as defined below), as well as the Amended $98 Million Credit Facility Commitment Letter (refer to the “$98 Million Credit Facility” section below) provided for waivers of the Company’s company-wide minimum cash covenants, so long as cash and cash equivalents of the Company are at least $25,000, and of the Company’s maximum leverage ratio through November 15, 2016. Lastly, the collateral maintenance waivers and maximum leverage ratio waivers under the 2014 Term Loan Facility were extended through November 15, 2016 pursuant to a waiver entered into on October 14, 2016. In addition, from August 31 through November 15, 2016, the amount of cash the Company would need to maintain under its minimum cash covenants applicable only to obligors in each Prior Facility would be reduced by up to $250 per vessel, subject to an overall maximum cash withdrawal of $10,000 to pay expenses and additional conditions. The effectiveness of such new waivers and waiver extensions was conditioned on extension of the equity commitment letters entered into on June 8, 2016 as described above through September 30, 2016, which were so extended by amendments entered into on June 29, 2016. The Amended Commitment Letter also conditioned such waivers on the Company entering into a definitive purchase agreement or file a registration statement for an equity financing by 11:59 p.m. on August 15, 2016. Pursuant to additional agreements entered into with the lenders on August 12, 2016, August 30, 2016, September 14, 2016 and September 30, 2016, the deadline to enter into a definitive purchase agreement or file a registration statement for an equity financing was further extended to October 7, 2016. Stock purchase agreements were entered into on October 6, 2016 pursuant to the Second Amended Commitment Letter as defined below.

On October 6, 2016, the Company entered into a second amendment and restatement of the Commitment Letter (the “Second Amended Commitment Letter”). This amendment further extended the collateral maintenance waivers under the Prior Facilities through November 15, 2016. As a condition to the effectiveness of the Second Amended Commitment Letter, the Company entered into stock purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) effective as of October 4, 2016 with funds or related entities managed by Centerbridge, SVP and Apollo (the “Investors”) for the purchase of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for an aggregate of up to $125,000 in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Series A Preferred Stock to be sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreements will be automatically and mandatorily convertible into the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, upon approval by the Company’s shareholders of such conversion. The purchase price of the Series A Preferred Stock under each of the Purchase Agreements is $4.85 per share. An additional 1,288,660 shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be 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.

Under the Purchase Agreements, Centerbridge made a firm commitment to purchase 6,597,938 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $32,000, SVP made a firm commitment to purchase 7,628,866 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $37,000, and Apollo made a firm commitment to purchase 3,587,629 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $17,400. In addition, Centerbridge, SVP and Apollo have agreed to provide a backstop commitment to purchase up to 3,402,062, 2,371,134 and 2,185,568 additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, respectively, for $4.85 per share. To the extent the

23

Table of Contents

Company agrees to issue Series A Preferred Stock in an additional private placement to third parties, the aggregate amount purchased by Centerbridge, SVP and Apollo may be reduced pro rata by up to $38,600 in Series A Preferred Stock.

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 President; and other investors for the sale of shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $38,600 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 the board of directors of the Company (the “Special Committee”) and the investors. The Special Committee unanimously approved the transactions.

Collateral Maintenance and Maximum Leverage Ratio Compliance

The Company is required to be in compliance with covenants under all of its nine credit facilities on a quarterly basis. Pursuant to the Second Amended Commitment Letter, the Amended $98 Million Credit Facility Commitment Letter (as defined below), and the waiver entered into for the 2014 Term Loan Facilities (as described below), the collateral maintenance requirements and maximum leverage requirements under all nine of the Company’s credit facilities has been waived through November 15, 2016, with the exception of the $98 Million Credit Facility Commitment Letter which reduced the collateral maintenance requirement from 140% to 120% and the 2014 Term Loan Facilities, for which the waivers were extended through November 15, 2016, except that such extended waivers under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities will be void if Sinosure gives written notice to the agent bank that it does not approve the waivers. Each of the Company’s credit facilities contain cross default provisions that could be triggered by the Company’s failure to satisfy its collateral maintenance and maximum leverage covenants once the waivers expire. Given the existence of the cross default provisions, the Company believed it was probable that it would not be in compliance with certain covenants at measurement dates within the next twelve months absent entering into the New Facility described above. As such, the Company has determined that it should classify its outstanding indebtedness as a current liability as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Amendment and Consent Agreements Related to the Merger

On July 14, 2015, Baltic Trading and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries entered into agreements (the “Amendment and Consent Agreements”) to amend, provide consents under, or waive certain provisions of the $22 Million Term Loan Facility (as defined below), 2014 Term Loan Facilities (as defined below) and the $148 Million Credit Facility (as defined below) (each a “Facility” and collectively the “Facilities”). The Amendment and Consent Agreements implemented, among other things, the following:

| · |  | The existing covenants measuring collateral maintenance under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities were amended as follows: the minimum fair market value of vessels pledged as security (together with the value of any additional collateral) is required to be (i) for the period from June 30, 2015 up to and including December 30, 2015, 125% of the amount outstanding under such Facilities; (ii) for the period from December 31, 2015 up to and including March 30, 2016, 130% of such amount; and (iii) for the period from March 31, 2016 and thereafter, 135% of such amount.

| · |  | The calculation of the minimum consolidated net worth was reduced by $30,730 to $270,150 under each Facility to account for the reduction of equity due to the impairment associated with the sale of the Baltic Tiger and Baltic Lion vessels.

| · |  | The measurement of the maximum leverage ratio under each Facility was amended to exclude from the numerator thereof (which is the amount of indebtedness included in the calculation of such financial covenant) any committed but undrawn working capital lines.

| · |  | Under the $148 Million Credit Facility, following consummation of the Merger on July 17, 2015, the amount of cash to be held by the administrative agent under such Facility (or otherwise remaining undrawn under certain working capital lines) for each collateral vessel mortgaged under such Facility, as required under the under the minimum liquidity covenant under such Facility, was amended to an amount of $750 per vessel.

| · |  | Following completion of the Merger on July 17, 2015, all corporate wide financial covenants of Baltic Trading are to be measured on a consolidated basis with the Company (the “Consolidated Covenant Amendments”).

| · |  | Waivers or consents under the Facilities to permit the delisting of Baltic Trading’s stock on the New York Stock Exchange (which constitutes a change of control under each such Facility) and the termination of the Management Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2010, by and between GS&T and Baltic Trading.

| · |  | Waivers or consents under each of the Facilities to permit the Merger.

| · |  | Waivers or consents to certain covenants under each of the Facilities to the extent such covenants would otherwise be breached as a result of the Merger.

On July 17, 2015, when the Merger was completed, the Company executed a guaranty of the obligations of the borrowers (other than to the extent the Company was a borrower) under each of the Facilities. The execution of the guarantees, together with certain other items that were previously delivered, satisfied all conditions to the effectiveness of all provisions of the Amendment and Consent Agreements.

$98 Million Credit Facility

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

The Borrowers borrowed the maximum available amount of $98,271 under the facility on November 10, 2015. As of September 30, 2016, there was no availability under the $98 Million Credit Facility.

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

The Facility Agreement requires the Borrowers and, in certain cases, the Company and Holdco to comply with a number of covenants substantially similar to those in the other credit facilities of Genco and its subsidiaries, including financial covenants related to maximum leverage, minimum consolidated net worth, minimum liquidity, and dividends;

25

collateral maintenance requirements; and other customary covenants. The Company is prohibited from paying dividends under this facility until May 1, 2017. Following May 1, 2017, the amount of dividends the Company may pay is limited based on the amount of the loans outstanding under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and the $98 Million Credit Facility, as well as the ratio of the value of vessels and certain other collateral pledged under the $98 Million Credit Facility. The Facility Agreement includes usual and customary events of default and remedies for facilities of this nature. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had deposited $9,750 that has been reflected as restricted cash. Restricted cash will be released only if the underlying collateral is sold or disposed of.

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

On June 29, 2016, the Company entered into a commitment letter (the “$98 Million Credit Facility Commitment Letter”) which provides for certain covenant relief through September 30, 2016. For such period, compliance with the company-wide minimum cash covenant has been waived so long as cash and cash equivalents of the Company are at least $25,000; compliance with the maximum leverage ratio has been waived; and the ratio required to be maintained under the Company’s collateral maintenance covenant will be 120% rather than 140%. An amendment to the $98 Million Credit Facility Commitment Letter was entered into on September 30, 2016 (the “Amended $98 Million Credit Facility Commitment Letter”) which extended these covenant reliefs through November 15, 2016. Refer to the “Commitment Letter” section above for further discussions about the company-wide minimum cash covenant.

However, as of September 30, 2016, the Company believed it was probable that the Company would not be in compliance with certain covenants at measurement dates within the next twelve months absent entering into the New Facility described above.

10 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair values and carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 which are required to be disclosed at fair value, but not recorded at fair value, are noted below.

|  | September 30, 2016 |  | December 31, 2015 |
|  | Carrying |  |  |  |  | Carrying |  |  |  |
|  | Value |  | Fair Value |  | Value |  | Fair Value |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 40,028 |  | $ | 40,028 |  | $ | 121,074 |  | $ | 121,074 |
Restricted cash |  |  | 19,815 |  |  | 19,815 |  |  | 19,815 |  |  | 19,815 |
Floating rate debt |  |  | 548,276 |  |  | 548,276 |  |  | 588,434 |  |  | 588,434 |

The fair value of the floating rate debt under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the $253 Million Term Loan Facility are based on rates obtained upon our emergence from Chapter 11 on the Effective Date and there were no changes to rates pursuant to the April 2015 Amendments. The fair value of the floating rate debt under the $44 Million Term Loan Facility is based on rates that Baltic Trading initially obtained on the effective date of this facility, and there were no changes pursuant to the Guarantee and Indemnity entered into by the Company during April 2015. The fair value of the floating rate debt under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility and the $98 Million Credit Facility are based on rates the Company recently obtained upon the effective date of these facilities on April 7, 2015 and November 4, 2015, respectively. The fair value of the $148 Million Credit Facility, $22 Million Term Loan Facility and 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 Amendment and Consent Agreements effective on July 14, 2015. 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 September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (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.

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are categorized as follows:

17 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Effective April 4, 2011, the Company entered into a seven-year sub-sublease agreement for additional office space in New York, New York. The term of the sub-sublease commenced June 1, 2011, with a free base rental period until October 31, 2011. Following the expiration of the free base rental period, the monthly base rental payments were $82 per month until May 31, 2015 and thereafter will be $90 per month until the end of the seven-year term. Pursuant to

39

Table of Contents

the sub-sublease agreement, the sublessor was obligated to contribute $472 toward the cost of the Company’s alterations to the sub-subleased office space. The Company has also entered into a direct lease with the over-landlord of such office space that will commence immediately upon the expiration of such sub-sublease agreement, for a term covering the period from May 1, 2018 to September 30, 2025; the direct lease provides for a free base rental period from May 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018. Following the expiration of the free base rental period, the monthly base rental payments will be $186 per month from October 1, 2018 to April 30, 2023 and $204 per month from May 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025. For accounting purposes, the sub-sublease agreement and direct lease agreement with the landlord constitutes one lease agreement. As a result of the straight-line rent calculation generated by the free rent period and the tenant work credit, the monthly straight-line rental expense for the term of the entire lease from June 1, 2011 to September 30, 2025 was $130 prior to the Effective Date. On the Effective Date, a revised straight-line rent calculation was completed as part of fresh-start reporting. The revised monthly straight-line rental expense for the remaining term of the lease from the Effective Date to September 30, 2025 is $150. The Company had a long-term lease obligation at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 of $1,688 and $1,149, respectively. Rent expense pertaining to this lease for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $452 and $452, respectively, and $1,356 and $1,356 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively during both periods.

Future minimum rental payments on the above lease for the next five years and thereafter are as follows: $269 for the remainder of 2016, $1,076 for 2017, $916 for 2018, $2,230 annually for 2019 and 2020 and a total of $11,130 for the remaining term of the lease.

On August 10, 2016, the Company settled its outstanding lease liability related to its previous office space which the Company had filed a motion to reject in the bankruptcy proceedings. The motion was accepted on the Effective Date upon the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11. The settlement of this claim resulted in a gain that was recorded in rent expense in the amount of ($116) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

During the beginning of 2009, the Genco Cavalier, a 2007-built Supramax vessel, was on charter to Samsun when Samsun filed for the equivalent of bankruptcy protection in South Korea, otherwise referred to as a rehabilitation application.

18 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

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 presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the reverse stock split.

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 is to receive 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 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 price per share ranging $259.10 to $341.90. The Company is currently evaluating the effect on its consolidated financial statements 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

40

Table of Contents

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.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized amortization expense of the fair value of these warrants, which is included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of General, administrative and management fees, as follows:

19 - 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”).

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 Order, the Preliminary Injunction Denial.

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.

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. Excluding the Genco Leader which was sold on November 4, 2016, our fleet currently consists of 66 drybulk vessels, including 13 Capesize, seven Panamax, four Ultramax, 21 Supramax, five Handymax and 16 Handysize drybulk carriers, with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 4,979,000 dwt, and the average age of our fleet is currently approximately 9.5 years. We seek to deploy our vessels on time charters, spot market-related time 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. The majority of the vessels in our current fleet are presently engaged under time charter, spot market-related time charter and vessel pool contracts that expire (assuming the option periods in the time charters are not exercised) between November 2016 and July 2017.

See pages 58-60 for a table of all vessels in our fleet.

On April 7, 2015, we entered into a definitive merger agreement with Baltic Trading under which we agreed to acquire Baltic Trading in a stock-for-stock transaction (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the agreement, Baltic Trading

47

Table of Contents

became our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, and Baltic Trading shareholders (other than GS&T and its subsidiaries) received 0.216 shares of our common stock for each share of Baltic Trading’s common stock they owned at closing, with fractional shares that were settled in cash. Upon consummation of the transaction on July 17, 2015, our shareholders owned approximately 84.5% of the combined company, and Baltic Trading’s shareholders (other than the GS&T and its subsidiaries) owned approximately 15.5% of the combined company. Shares of Baltic Trading’s Class B stock (all of which we owned) were canceled in the Merger. Our stock commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange after consummation of the transaction on July 20, 2015 under the symbol “GNK.”

Our Board of Directors and Baltic Trading’s Board of Directors established independent special committees to review the transaction and negotiate the terms on behalf of their respective companies. Both independent special committees unanimously approved the transaction. The Boards of Directors of both companies approved the merger by unanimous vote of directors present and voting, with Peter C. Georgiopoulos, former Chairman of the Board of each company, recused for the vote. The Merger was approved on July 17, 2015 at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Prior to the Merger, as of June 30, 2015, our wholly-owned subsidiary Genco Investments LLC owned 6,356,471 shares of Baltic Trading’s Class B Stock, which represented a 10.85% ownership interest in Baltic Trading and 64.60% of the aggregate voting power of Baltic Trading’s outstanding shares of voting stock at June 30, 2015. Baltic Trading is consolidated as we also controlled a majority of the voting interest in Baltic Trading prior to the Merger. Management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition includes the results of Baltic Trading.

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, after the effective date of the Merger on July 17, 2015, in which we are engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels. Therefore, the totals previously reported for the two segments (GS&T and Baltic Trading) is the total for the single reportable segment effective upon the Merger.

Additionally, on April 7, 2015, we entered into an agreement under which we acquired all of the shares of two single-purpose entities that were wholly owned by Baltic Trading, each of which owns one Capesize drybulk vessel, for an aggregate purchase price of $68.5 million, subject to reduction for $40.6 million of outstanding first-mortgage debt of such single-purpose entities that is to be guaranteed by the Company and an adjustment for the difference between such single-purpose entities’ current assets and total liabilities as of the closing date. Through the transactions, which closed on April 8, 2015, we acquired the vessels known as the Baltic Lion and the Baltic Tiger. The independent special committees of both companies’ Boards of Directors reviewed and approved this transaction.

On April 5, 2016, the Board of Directors unanimously approved scrapping the Genco Marine. On May 17, 2016, we completed the sale of the Genco Marine. We realized a net loss of $0.1 million and had net proceeds of $1.9 million from the sale of the vessel, including costs incurred to deliver the vessel to the buyer, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. We reached an agreement on May 6, 2016 to sell the Genco Marine, a 1996-built Handymax vessel, to be scrapped with Ace Exim Pte Ltd., a demolition yard, for a net amount $2.2 million less a 2.0% broker commission payable to a third party.

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. Refer to Note 20 — Subsequent Events in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

We entered into a long-term management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Baltic Trading pursuant to which we applied our expertise and experience in the drybulk industry to provide Baltic Trading with commercial, technical, administrative and strategic services. The Management Agreement was for an initial term of approximately 15 years. Baltic Trading paid us for the services we provided it as well as reimbursed us for our costs and expenses incurred in providing certain of these services. Management fee income we earned from the Management

48

Table of Contents

Agreement net of any allocated shared expenses, such as salary, office expenses and other general and administrative fees, were taxable to us. Upon consolidation with Baltic Trading, any management fee income earned was eliminated for financial reporting purposes. The Management Agreement was terminated as of July 18, 2015.

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 is to receive 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 18 — 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.

We hold 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 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 will be provided for an initial term of one year. Mr. Georgiopoulos is a director of and has a minority interest in MEP. 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 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 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 fee earned for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 has also been paid in full. At September 30, 2016, all MEP vessels have been sold.

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.

Total TCE rate |  | $ | 5,779 |  | $ | 7,009 |  | $ | 4,341 |  | $ | 5,696 |

(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.

| (1) |  | EBITDA represents net (loss) income attributable to Genco Shipping & Trading Limited 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. Pursuant to the amendments entered into on April 30, 2015 for our $100 Million Term Loan Facility and our $253 Million Term Loan Facility, the definition of Consolidated EBITDA used in the financial covenants has been eliminated. The following table demonstrates our calculation of EBITDA and provides a reconciliation of EBITDA to net (loss) income attributable to Genco Shipping & Trading Limited for each of the periods presented above:

Three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015

VOYAGE REVENUES-

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, voyage revenues decreased by $11.3 million, or 23.0%, to $37.9 million as compared to $49.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease in voyage revenues was primarily due to lower spot market rates achieved by the majority of our vessels.

The average Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rate of our fleet decreased 17.5% to $5,779 a day for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $7,009 a day for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease in TCE rates was primarily due to lower spot rates achieved by the majority of the vessels in our fleet during the third quarter of 2016 as compared to the same period last year. During the third quarter of 2016, the Baltic Dry Index continued to increase from all-time lows registered earlier in the year. Freight rates during the quarter were primarily supported by heightened demand for iron ore cargoes due to augmented Chinese steel production and increased coal shipments to China as the country reduced domestic coal output. With regard to supply, net fleet growth in the year-to-date remained relatively low in historical terms, however vessel demolition activity eased significantly during the third quarter as compared to the first half of the year leading to a rising pace of fleet growth during the period.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we had 6,348.0 and 6,311.9 ownership days, respectively. The increase in ownership days is a result of the delivery of the Baltic Scorpion and Baltic Mantis during the second half of 2015 partially offset by the scrapping of the Genco Marine on May 17, 2016. Fleet utilization increased to 99.4% from 98.9% during the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015 primarily due to additional offhire periods during the three months ended September 30, 2015 for some of our Capesize and Handymax vessels.

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 include oversight of crew management, insurance, drydocking, ship operations and financial statement preparation, but do not include chartering services. The services were provided for a fee of $750 per ship per day until October 1, 2015, when the daily fees were reduced to $650 per ship per day pursuant to an agreement entered into between Genco Management (USA) LLC and MEP. During the three months ended

60

Table of Contents

September 30, 2016 and 2015, total service revenue was $1.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The increase was primarily a result of the termination fees associated with the sale of the remaining seven MEP vessels during the third quarter of 2016 to third parties in the amount of $0.8 million. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in daily management fees of $0.6 million primarily as a result of the aforementioned sale of seven vessels during the third quarter of 2016, as well as the sale of five MEP vessel during January 2016.

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. 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.

Voyage expenses decreased by $4.4 million from $6.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $2.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.1 million decrease in net bunker losses recorded during the third quarter of 2016 as compared to the third quarter of 2015 based on the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a result of the increase in bunker prices. Additionally, there was a $1.3 million decrease in cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters during the third quarter of 2016 as compared to the same period last year. Lastly, there was a $0.6 million decrease in the write down of our bunker inventory at the end of each quarter to its market value resulting from the fact that there was more bunker inventory that was above the market value and need to be adjusted as of September 30, 2015 as compared to September 30, 2016.

VESSEL OPERATING EXPENSES-

Vessel operating expenses decreased by $3.1 million from $31.5 million during the third quarter of 2015 to $28.5 million during the third quarter of 2016. This decrease was primarily due to lower expenses related to maintenance, crewing and insurance as well as the timing of purchases of stores and spares.

Daily vessel operating expenses decreased to $4,483 per vessel per day for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $4,997 per day for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease in daily vessel operating expenses was predominantly due to lower expenses related to maintenance, crewing and insurance, as well as the timing of purchases of stores and spares. We believe daily vessel operating expenses are best measured for comparative purposes over a 12-month period in order to take into account all of the expenses that each vessel in our fleet will incur over a full year of operation. Our actual daily vessel operating expenses per vessel for the three months ended September 30, 2016 were $337 below the weighted-average budgeted rate of $4,820 per vessel per day.

Our vessel operating expenses, which generally represent fixed costs for each vessel, increase to the extent our fleet expands. Other factors beyond our control, some of which may affect the shipping industry in general, including, for instance, developments relating to market prices for crewing, lubes, and insurance, may also cause these expenses to increase.

GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND MANAGEMENT FEES-

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. For further information on the restricted shares issued as incentive compensation to our former Chairman, our employees and our directors under our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2014 Management Incentive Program (the “MIP”), refer to Note 18 — Stock-Based Compensation in our Condensed

61

Table of Contents

Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, 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 September 30, 2016 and 2015, general, administrative and management fees were $10.2 million and $27.0 million, respectively. The $16.8 million decrease was primarily due to a decrease in compensation costs and expenses related to the merger with Baltic Trading that were incurred during the third quarter of 2015, partially offset by costs related to financing or refinancing activities. Included in general, administrative and management fees for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are non-cash compensation expenses of $3.6 million and $11.8 million, respectively, arising from awards issued under our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and the MIP.

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 $2.0 million to $18.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to $20.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation expense for the nine vessels which were deemed impaired at June 30, 2016 and written down to their net realizable value at June 30, 2016. Additionally, there was a decrease in depreciation expense for the Genco Marine which was scrapped on May 17, 2016. These decreases were slightly offset by an increase in depreciation expense for the Baltic Mantis, which delivered to the Company during the fourth quarter of 2016.

OTHER (EXPENSE) INCOME-

IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENT–

During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we recorded an impairment of investment of $0 million and $32.5 million, respectively. We review our investment in Jinhui for indicators of other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. Based on our review, we have deemed the investment in Jinhui to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2015. Our investment in Jinhui was not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2016. Refer to Note 5 — Investments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) –

Other income (expense) fluctuated by $0.8 million from ($0.7) million during three months ended September 30, 2015 to $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016. This fluctuation is primarily due to the change in gains and losses recorded related to the sale of available-for-sale investments. Refer to Note 5 — Investments and Note 9 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

NET INTEREST EXPENSE –

Net interest expense increased by $2.1 million from $4.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $7.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016. Net interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 consisted of interest expense under our credit facilities and amortization of deferred financing costs for those facilities. The increase in net interest expense for the third quarter of 2016 as compared to the third quarter of 2015 was primarily due to an increase in interest expense and amortization of deferred financing fees associated with the $98 Million Credit Facility which was entered into on November 4, 2015.

Table of Contents

REORGANIZATION ITEMS, NET –

Reorganization items, net decreased by $0.1 million from $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016. These reorganization items include trustee fees and professional fees incurred after the Effective Date in relation to the Chapter 11 Cases. The decrease is due to the winding down of settlement payments as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases. Refer to Note 16 — Reorganization items, net in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE-

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, income tax expense was $0.4 million as compared to $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015. This income tax expense consists primarily of federal, state and local income taxes on net income earned by Genco Management (USA) LLC (“Genco (USA)”), one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Pursuant to certain agreements, we technically and commercially managed vessels for Baltic Trading until the Merger on July 17, 2015, as well as provide technical management of vessels for MEP in exchange for specified fees for these services provided. These services are provided by Genco (USA), which has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. As such, Genco (USA) is subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide net income, including the net income derived from providing these services. Refer to the “Income taxes” section of Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

The increase in income tax expense during the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the same period during the prior year is primarily due to an increase in service revenue recorded by Genco (USA) which was earned from MEP. The increase in service revenue earned from MEP resulted primarily due to the $0.8 million of termination fees received for the sale of MEP’s remaining seven vessels during the third quarter of 2016. This increase was partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in management fees resulting from the sale of MEP’s 12 vessels during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and reduction of the daily service fee received from $750 per vessel to $650 per vessel effective October 1, 2015. Refer to Note 1 — General Information included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. The increase in service revenue earned from GMU was partially offset by a decrease in income earned by Genco (USA) due to the cancellation of the Management Agreement with Baltic Trading effective July 18, 2015 pursuant to the Merger.

NET LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO NONCONTROLLING INTEREST-

For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest was $0 and $7.2 million, respectively. Net loss (income) was allocated to the noncontrolling interest up until July 17, 2015 when the Merger was effective. Once the Merger was effective, the noncontrolling interest allocation was no longer applicable.

Nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015

VOYAGE REVENUES-

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, voyage revenues decreased by $27.1 million, or 23.2%, to $89.5 million as compared to $116.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease in voyage revenues was primarily due to lower spot market rates achieved by the majority of our vessels.

The average Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rate of our fleet decreased 23.8% to $4,341 a day for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $5,696 a day for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease in TCE rates was primarily due to lower spot rates achieved by our vessels during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the same period last year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we had 19,043.7 and 18,618.9 ownership days, respectively. The increase in ownership days is a result of the delivery of the Baltic Scorpion and Baltic Mantis during

the second half of 2015 partially offset by the scrapping of the Genco Marine on May 17, 2016. Fleet utilization increased marginally to 99.0% from 98.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

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 include oversight of crew management, insurance, drydocking, ship operations and financial statement preparation, but do not include chartering services. The services were provided for a fee of $750 per ship per day until October 1, 2015, when the daily fees were reduced to $650 per ship per day pursuant to an agreement entered into between Genco Management (USA) LLC and MEP. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, total service revenue was $2.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The decrease was primarily a result of a $1.3 million decrease in management fees due to the combination of the sale of five and seven of the MEP vessels during January 2016 and the third quarter of 2016, respectively, as well as the decrease in daily management fees. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the termination fees of $1.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 related to the sale of the aforementioned 12 MEP vessels.

VOYAGE EXPENSES-

Voyage expenses decreased by $5.5 million from $14.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $9.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.7 million decrease in the write down of our bunker inventory at the end of each quarter to its market value resulting from the fact that there was more bunker inventory that was above the market value and need to be adjusted at quarter-end during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the same period during 2016. Additionally, there was a decrease in bunker consumption of $1.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the same period during 2015, as well as a $1.1 million decrease in net bunker losses recorded during the nine months ended September 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 as a result of the increase in bunker prices. Lastly, there was a $1.0 million decrease in the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the same period last year.

VESSEL OPERATING EXPENSES-

Vessel operating expenses decreased by $4.0 million from $90.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $86.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This decrease was primarily due to lower expenses related to maintenance, as well as crewing and insurance expenses.

Daily vessel operating expenses decreased to $4,523 per vessel per day for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $4,841 per day for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease in daily vessel operating expenses was predominantly due to lower insurance, crew and maintenance related expenses. We believe daily vessel operating expenses are best measured for comparative purposes over a 12-month period in order to take into account all of the expenses that each vessel in our fleet will incur over a full year of operation. Our actual daily vessel operating expenses per vessel for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $297 below the weighted-average budgeted rate of $4,820 per vessel per day.

GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND MANAGEMENT FEES-

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, general, administrative and management fees were $36.9 million and $73.8 million, respectively. The $36.9 million decrease was primarily due to a decrease in compensation costs and expenses related to the merger with Baltic Trading that were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, partially offset by costs related to financing or refinancing activities. Included in general, administrative and management fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are non-cash compensation expenses of $14.5 million and $36.7 million, respectively, arising from awards issued under our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and the MIP.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $0.7 million to $58.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to $58.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This decrease was primarily due a decrease in depreciation expense for the nine vessels which were deemed impaired at June 30, 2016 and written down to their net realizable value at June 30, 2016. 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 depreciation expense for the Baltic Scorpion and Baltic Mantis, which delivered to the Company during the third and fourth quarters of 2015, respectively.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME –

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, other operating income was $0.2 million and $0, respectively. The increase 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 17 — Commitments and Contingencies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the settlement.

IMPAIRMENT OF VESSEL ASSETS -

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we recorded $69.3 million and $35.4 million, respectively, of impairment of vessel assets. During the nine months ended September 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 have deemed it is more likely than not that will be scrapped. 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded $35.4 million of impairment for the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger, which were sold to us from Baltic Trading on April 8, 2015. Refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information which describes how it was determined that these vessel assets were impaired.

LOSS ON SALE OF VESSELS –

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we recorded $0.1 million and $1.2 million Loss on sale of vessels, respectively. On May 17, 2016, we scrapped the Genco Marine which resulted in a loss of $0.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. On April 8, 2015, Baltic Trading sold two of its vessels, the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger, to us at a loss of $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

OTHER (EXPENSE) INCOME-

IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENT –

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we recorded an impairment of investment of $2.7 million and $32.5 million, respectively. We review our investment in Jinhui for indicators of other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. Based on our review, we have deemed the investment in Jinhui to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015. Our investment in Jinhui was not deemed to be other-

65

Table of Contents

than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2016. Refer to Note 5 — Investments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

OTHER EXPENSE –

Other expense decreased by $0.6 million from $0.7 million during nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $0.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This fluctuation is primarily due to a decrease in the losses recorded related to the sale of available-for-sale investments. Refer to Note 5 — Investments and Note 9 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

NET INTEREST EXPENSE –

Net interest expense increased by $7.3 million from $13.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $21.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Net interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 consisted of interest expense under our credit facilities and amortization of deferred financing costs for those facilities. The increase in net interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the same period during 2015 was primarily due to an increase in interest expense and amortization of deferred financing fees associated with the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility and the $98 Million Credit Facility which were entered into on April 7, 2015 and November 4, 2015, respectively.

REORGANIZATION ITEMS, NET

Reorganization items, net decreased by $0.8 million from $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. These reorganization items include trustee fees and professional fees incurred after the Effective Date in relation to the Chapter 11 Cases. The decrease is due to the winding down of settlement payments as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases. Refer to Note 16 — Reorganization items, net in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE-

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, income tax expense was $0.8 million as compared to $1.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This income tax expense consists primarily of federal, state and local income taxes on net income earned by Genco Management (USA) LLC (“Genco (USA)”), one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Pursuant to certain agreements, we technically and commercially managed vessels for Baltic Trading until the Merger on July 17, 2015, as well as provide technical management of vessels for MEP in exchange for specified fees for these services provided. These services are provided by Genco (USA), which has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. As such, Genco (USA) is subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide net income, including the net income derived from providing these services. Refer to the “Income taxes” section of Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

The decrease in income tax expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the same period during the prior year is primarily due to a decrease in income earned by Genco (USA) during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as a result of the cancellation of the Management Agreement with Baltic Trading effective July 18, 2015 pursuant to the Merger. As a result of the cancellation, Genco (USA) was no longer earning commercial service revenue, management fees and sales and purchase fee from Baltic Trading effective July 18, 2015. Refer to Note 1 — General Information included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

NET LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO NONCONTROLLING INTEREST-

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest was $0 and $59.5 million, respectively. Net loss (income) was allocated to the noncontrolling interest up until July 17, 2015

when the Merger was effective. Once the Merger was effective, the noncontrolling interest allocation was no longer applicable.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal sources of funds are currently operating cash flows and long-term bank borrowings. We have also historically used issuances of equity and long-term debt securities as sources of financing and may do so in the future. Our principal use of funds is capital expenditures to establish and grow our fleet, maintain the quality of our vessels, comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations, and fund working capital requirements and repayments on outstanding loan facilities. However, if market conditions continue to deteriorate, we may be unable to raise additional equity capital or debt financing on acceptable terms or at all.

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, 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. If the current market environment persists, declines further, or does not recover sufficiently, 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.

We entered into the Commitment Letter, the subsequent Amended Commitment Letter and the Second Amended Commitment Letter on June 8, 2016, June 30, 2016 and October 6, 2016. This Commitment Letter for a senior secured loan facility (the “New Facility”) for an aggregate principal amount of up to $400 million is intended 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 New Facility is subject to definitive documentation, and our ability to borrow under the New Facility is subject to a number of conditions, including 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, amendment of our other credit facilities on terms satisfactory to the lenders and other customary conditions. On June 30, 2016 we entered into an amendment and restatement of the Commitment Letter (the “Amended Commitment Letter”) which established or extended waivers of certain credit facility covenants described below through 11:59 p.m. on September 30, 2016 on certain conditions, including a condition that we enter into a definitive purchase agreement or file a registration statement for an equity financing by 11:59 p.m. on August 15, 2016. Lastly, on October 6, 2016, we entered into a second amendment and restatement of the Commitment Letter (the “Second Amended Commitment Letter”) which further extended the waivers of certain credit facility covenants described below through November 15, 2016.

As a condition to the effectiveness of the Second Amended Commitment Letter, 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 will be automatically and mandatorily convertible 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 are to be 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 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

67

Table of Contents

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.

Given the negative impact of the current drybulk rate environment, we also face covenant compliance issues. Our credit facilities contain minimum cash covenants measured on a company-wide basis and on the basis of the number of vessels pledged by obligors under each credit facility. Pursuant to the Second Amended Commitment Letter and the Amended $98 Million Credit Facility Commitment Letter (as discussed in Note 8 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), our company-wide minimum cash covenant has been waived through November 15, 2016 so long as we maintain a minimum cash balance of $25.0 million. Additionally, the collateral maintenance waivers and maximum leverage ratio waivers under the 2014 Term Loan Facility were extended through November 15, 2016 pursuant to a waiver entered into on October 14, 2016.Moreover, under the Second Amended Commitment Letter, from September 30 through November 15, 2016, the amount of cash we would need to maintain under our minimum cash covenants applicable only to obligors in each facility to be refinanced under the Amended Commitment Letter would be reduced by up to $0.25 million per vessel, subject to an overall maximum cash withdrawal of $10.0 million to pay expenses and additional conditions. However, in light of our requirements to fund ongoing operations, make payments under our credit facilities, and the possibility of utilizing cash to resolve collateral maintenance shortfalls after the waiver period ends on November 15, 2016, we believe that without taking measures described below that may not be available to us, including entering into the New Facility, it is probable that we will not remain in compliance with our minimum cash covenants under our credit facilities after September 30, 2016.

As a result of the current weakness in vessel values, we did not meet the maximum leverage or leverage ratio covenants in our credit facilities as of September 30, 2016. These covenants require us to maintain a ratio not to exceed 70% of financial indebtedness divided by value adjusted total assets, each as defined therein. Pursuant to the Second Amended Commitment Letter, the Amended $98 Million Credit Facility Commitment Letter and waivers received for the 2014 Term Loan Facilities (as discussed in Note 8 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), the maximum leverage ratio covenants have been waived through November 15, 2016 for all of our credit facilities. The waiver under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities will be void if Sinosure gives written notice to the agent bank that it does not approve the waivers. However, given the current weakness in vessel values, it is probable that we will not remain in compliance with our maximum leverage ratio covenants under our credit facilities after November 15, 2016.

Lastly, pursuant to the Second Amended Commitment Letter and the waiver entered into on October 14, 2016 for the 2014 Term Loan Facilities, the collateral maintenance covenants have been waived through November 15, 2016. Additionally, pursuant to the Amended $98 Million Credit Facility Commitment Letter entered into on September 30, 2016, extended the reduction of the collateral maintenance covenant from 140% to 120% through November 15, 2016. Refer to Note 8 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of these waivers. Under the collateral maintenance covenants, as amended, of our $98 Million Credit Facility, 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility, $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $148 Million Credit Facility, $22 Million Term Loan Facility, $44 Million Term Loan Facility and the 2014 Term Loan Facilities, the aggregate valuations of our vessels pledged under each facility must at least be a certain percentage of loans outstanding, which percentages currently are 120%, 140%, 135%, 130%, 140%, 110%, 125% and 135%, respectively, as of September 30, 2016. Absent the aforementioned waivers, if this test is not met, we may be required to take certain actions to remedy the shortfall. See “Critical Accounting Policies — Vessels and Depreciation” below for further details of our vessel valuations. Given the current weakness in vessel values, we believe it is probable that we will not meet the minimum threshold under the collateral maintenance covenant in certain of our credit facilities after November 15, 2016 when the aforementioned waivers expire if we have not entered into the New Facility.

In light of the foregoing, we will likely require capital to fund ongoing operations and debt service and to maintain compliance with our credit facility covenants. The transactions contemplated by the Second Amended Commitment Letter and the Amended $98 Million Credit Facility Commitment Letter are intended to address our liquidity and covenant compliance issues. Such transactions are subject to a number of conditions, including completion of an equity financing satisfactory to the lenders with gross proceeds to us of at least $125 million, which are intended to be fulfilled by the Initial Purchase Agreements and the Additional Purchase Agreement. If we are unable to fulfill these

68

Table of Contents

conditions, we will need to consider alternatives to address our liquidity and covenant compliance issues. For example, we may seek to refinance our indebtedness, obtain further 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), reducing or delaying capital expenditures, or pursuing other options that may be available to us which may include pursuing strategic opportunities and equity or debt offerings or potentially seeking protection in a Chapter 11 proceeding. To the extent such actions include dispositions of vessels, our ability to do so on acceptable terms may be limited by depressed vessel values, a second-hand market for the sale of vessels that has become less active, and ongoing limited availability of financing for buyers of vessels. In addition, to remedy or mitigate our non-compliance under our collateral maintenance covenants, we may prepay a portion of our indebtedness or pledge one or more of our remaining unencumbered vessels. We cannot be certain that we will accomplish any of the actions described above.

Absent any of the foregoing actions, if we do not comply with our covenants under our credit facilities and fail to cure our non-compliance following applicable notice and expiration of applicable cure periods, we will be in default of one or more of our credit facilities. As a result and given the presence of cross defaults amongst the credit agreements, some or all of our indebtedness could be declared immediately due and payable, and we may not have sufficient assets available to satisfy our obligations. Substantially all of our assets are pledged as collateral to our lenders, and our lenders may seek to foreclose on their collateral if a default occurs. We may have to seek alternative sources of financing on terms that may not be favorable to us or that may not be available at all. We therefore could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.

Historically, we have used funds to pay dividends and to repurchase our common stock from time to time. We have not declared or paid any dividends since the third quarter of 2008 and currently do not plan to resume the payment of dividends. Moreover, pursuant to restrictions under our credit facilities, we are currently prohibited from paying dividends. Future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our cash flows, cash requirements, financial condition, results of operations, required capital expenditures or reserves, contractual restrictions (including debt covenants), provisions of applicable law and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

Prior to the merger with Baltic Trading, Genco Investments LLC owned 6,356,471 shares of Baltic Trading’s Class B Stock, which represents a 10.85% ownership interest in Baltic Trading and 64.60% of the aggregate voting power of Baltic Trading’s outstanding shares of voting stock. On April 7, 2015, we entered into a definitive merger agreement with Baltic Trading under which we acquired Baltic Trading in a stock-for-stock transaction. The Merger was approved on July 17, 2015. Under the terms of the agreement, Baltic Trading became our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, and Baltic Trading shareholders (other than GS&T and its subsidiaries) received 0.216 shares of our common stock for each share of Baltic Trading’s common stock they owned at closing, with fractional shares to be settled in cash. Upon consummation of the transaction on July 17, 2015, our shareholders owned approximately 84.5% of the combined company, and Baltic Trading’s shareholders (other than the GS&T and its subsidiaries) owned approximately 15.5% of the combined company. Shares of Baltic Trading’s Class B stock (all of which are owned by us) were canceled in the Merger. Our stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange after consummation of the transaction on July 20, 2015 under the symbol “GNK.”

Our Board of Directors and Baltic Trading’s Board of Directors established independent special committees to review the transaction and negotiate the terms on behalf of their respective companies. Both independent special committees unanimously approved the transaction. The Boards of Directors of both companies approved the merger by unanimous vote of directors present and voting, with Peter C. Georgiopoulos, former Chairman of the Board of each company, recused for the vote. The Merger was approved on July 17, 2015 at the Annual Meeting.

Dividends

We are currently prohibited from paying dividends under certain of our facilities, the longest restriction of which is in effect until May 1, 2017. Following May 1, 2017, the amount of dividends we may pay is limited based on the amount of the loans outstanding under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility and the $98 Million Credit Facility, as well as the ratio of the value of vessels and certain other collateral pledged under the $98 Million Credit Facility to the amount of the loan outstanding under such facility. In addition, dividends may not exceed 50% of our net income (as defined in the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility) and may only be paid out of excess cash flow of Genco and its

69

Table of Contents

subsidiaries (as defined in the $98 Million Credit 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 nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $45.9 million and $39.4 million, respectively. Included in the net loss attributable to Genco during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are $72.0 million and $67.9 million of non-cash impairment charges, respectively. Also included in the net loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $14.5 million and $36.7 million, respectively, of non-cash amortization of non-vested stock compensation due to the vesting of restricted shares and warrants primarily issued under the MIP. Additionally, the fluctuation in accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by $13.7 million due to the timing of payments. The above changes in operating activities were partially offset by a $4.3 million increase in the fluctuation in prepaid expenses and other current assets. Additionally, there was an $8.3 million decrease in deferred drydocking costs incurred because there were fewer vessels that completed drydocking during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the same period during 2015.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $5.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $26.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The fluctuation is primarily due to a $45.7 million decrease in the purchase of vessels, including deposits. The decrease is primarily due to the completion of the purchase of the Baltic Wasp on January 2, 2015 and the Baltic Scorpion on August 6, 2015. Additionally, there was an increase of $3.2 million of proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities, as well as $1.9 million of proceeds from the sale of the Genco Marine which was scrapped during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. These fluctuations were partially offset by a $19.6 million decrease in deposits of restricted cash, representing the amount of restricted cash that was held in an escrow account as of December 31, 2014 for the purchase of the Baltic Wasp, which was released to the shipyard upon the vessel delivery on January 2, 2015.

Net cash used in financing activities was $40.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $26.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 consisted primarily of the following: $15.2 million repayment of debt under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, $9.0 million repayment of debt under the $148 Million Credit Facility, $5.8 million repayment of debt under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $4.9 million repayment of debt under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, $2.1 million repayment of debt under $44 Million Term Loan Facility, $2.1 million repayment of debt under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities, $1.1 million repayment of debt under the $22 Million Term Loan Facility, and $0.1 million cash settlement paid to non-accredited 5.00% Convertible Senior Note holders. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 consisted primarily of $131.5 million of proceeds from the $148 Million Credit Facility and $35.0 million of proceeds from 2015 Revolving Credit Facility partially offset by the following: $102.3 million repayment of debt under the 2010 Credit Facility, $16.9 million repayment of debt under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, $5.8 million repayment of debt under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $4.9 million repayment of debt under the $148 Million Term Loan Facility, $2.1 million repayment of debt under the $44 Million Term Loan Facility, $1.1 million repayment of debt under the $22 Million Term Loan Facility, $1.4 million repayment of debt under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities, $0.7 million cash settlement paid to non-accredited 5.00% Convertible Senior Note holders, and $4.5 million payment of deferred financing costs.

Credit Facilities

Refer to the 2015 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 April 7, 2015, five of our wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into 2015 Revolving Credit Facility which provided for a $59.5 million revolving

70

Table of Contents

credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that has since expired. Additionally, on November 4, 2015, thirteen of our wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into the $98 Million Credit facility which was used for working capital purposes.

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

At September 30, 2016, we believed we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility; $253 Million Term Loan Facility; the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility; the $98 Million Credit Facility; the $44 Million Term Loan Facility; $22 Million Term Loan Facility; the $148 Million Credit Facility; and the 2014 Term Loan Facilities, other than covenants that had been waived by our lenders as of such date pursuant to the Second Amended Commitment Letter, the Amended $98 Million Credit Facility Commitment Letter and the October 14, 2016 waiver agreements entered into for the 2014 Term Loan Facilities. These commitment letters and waiver agreements are effective through November 15, 2016. Refer to Note 8 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of each credit facility and the terms and conditions of the waivers and commitment letters. Each of our credit facilities contain cross default provisions that could be triggered by our failure to satisfy or waive our collateral maintenance covenants once the waivers expire. Given the existence of the cross default provisions, and the absence of any current solution which would cure the noncompliance for at least the next 12 months, absent entering into the New Facility as described in Note 8 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we have determined that we should classify our outstanding indebtedness, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, of $540.5 million as a current liability as of September 30, 2016 in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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

At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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 September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Contractual Obligations

The following table sets forth our contractual obligations and their maturity dates as of September 30, 2016. The table incorporates the employment agreement entered into in September 2007 with our President, John Wobensmith. The interest and borrowing fees and scheduled credit agreement payments below reflect the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, the $44 Million Term Loan Facility, the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, the $98 Million Credit Facility, the $22 Million Term Loan Facility, the 2014 Term Loan Facilities and the $148 Million Credit Facility, as well as other fees associated with the facilities.

| (1) |  | Represents the three-month period ending December 31, 2016.

| (2) |  | On October 26, 2016, we paid down $2.5 million on the $148 Million Credit Facility with net proceeds from the sale of the Genco Pioneer, a vessel collateralized under this facility. Additionally, on or around November 4, 2016, we expect to pay down $3.4 million on the $148 Million Credit Facility with net proceeds from the sale of the Genco Leader, a vessel collateralized under this facility. Refer to Note 20 – Subsequent Events in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We have adjusted the credit agreement payments and interest and borrowing fees accordingly.

| (3) |  | On October 21, 2016, we paid down $2.3 million on the $100 Million Term Loan Facility with net proceeds from the sale of the Genco Sugar, a vessel collateralized under this facility. Refer to Note 20 – Subsequent Events in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We have adjusted the credit agreement payments and interest and borrowing fees accordingly.

Interest expense has been estimated using 0.89% plus the applicable margin of 3.50% for the $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, 4.25% for the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility and 6.125% for the $98 Million Credit Facility. For the $22 Million Term Loan Facility and the $44 Million Term Loan Facility, interest expense has been estimated using 0.89% plus the applicable margin of 3.35%. Lastly, interest expense has been estimated using 0.89% plus the applicable margin for the $148 Million Credit Facility and for the 2014 Term Loan Facilities of 3.00% and 2.50%, respectively.

Capital Expenditures

We make capital expenditures from time to time in connection with our vessel acquisitions. Excluding the Genco Leader which was sold on November 4, 2016, our fleet currently consists of 66 drybulk vessels, including 13 Capesize drybulk carriers, seven Panamax drybulk carriers, four Ultramax drybulk carriers, 21 Supramax drybulk carriers, five Handymax drybulk carriers and 16 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. Currently, we do not expect to install fuel efficiency upgrades on any of the vessels scheduled to drydock in 2016.

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 United States. Currently, we do not believe there are any ballast water treatment systems that are approved by U.S. authorities. Therefore, the United States Coast Guard

72

Table of Contents

(“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. Closer to January 1, 2018, we intend to apply for a supplement to this application in order get a further extension to the vessels’ next scheduled drydockings in 2021. 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 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 drydocking. In addition, on September 8, 2016, the International Maritime Organization (“IMO”) ratified the Ballast Water Management Convention which will be in effect on September 8, 2017. This will require vessels to have ballast water treatment systems installed to coincide with the vessels’ next International Oil Pollution Prevention renewal survey after September 8, 2017. 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 2017 to be:

Year |  | Estimated Drydocking Cost |  | Estimated Off-hire Days |
|  | (U.S. dollars in millions) |
2016 (October 1 - December 31, 2016) |  | $ | 3.2 | (1) | 100 | (2)
2017 |  | $ | 15.6 | (1) | 385 | (2)

| (1) |  | Estimated drydocking costs during the remainder of 2016 and 2017 include $1.5 million and $4.8 million of costs, respectively, for vessels that could potentially be sold or scrapped as per the terms of the Second Amended Commitment Letter. Refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

| (2) |  | Estimated offhire days during the remainder of 2016 and 2017 include 60 and 125 days, respectively, for vessels that could potentially be sold or scrapped as per the terms of the Second Amended Commitment Letter. Refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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, including the write-off of any steel that is replaced during drydocking. Additionally, these costs do not include the cost of ballast water treatment systems 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 nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred a total of $2.0 million and $10.3 million of drydocking costs, respectively, excluding costs incurred during drydocking that were capitalized to vessel assets or vessel equipment.

Three of our vessels completed drydockings during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Additionally, there was one drydocking that began in September 2016 and crossed over into the fourth quarter. We estimate that three of our vessels will be drydocked during the remainder of 2016 and 18 of our vessels will be drydocked during 2017,

which includes the vessels that could potentially be sold or scrapped as per the terms of the Second Amended Commitment Letter.

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 2015 10-K.

Vessels and Depreciation

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

The carrying value of each of our vessels does not represent the fair market value of such vessel or the amount we could obtain if we were to sell any of our vessels, which could be more or less. Under U.S. GAAP, we would not record a loss if the fair market value of a vessel (excluding its charter) is below our carrying value unless and until we determine to sell that vessel or the vessel is impaired as discussed in the 2015 10-K. Excluding the three Bourbon vessels we resold immediately upon delivery to MEP at our cost, we have sold four of our vessels since our inception. We realized a profit for the three vessels sold during prior years and realized a loss of $0.1 million for the sale of the Genco Marine on May 17, 2016 which was scrapped. 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 October 2016, we sold two of our vessels, the Genco Sugar and Genco Pioneer. Additionally, on November 4, 2016, we sold the Genco Leader. Refer to Note 20 — Subsequent Events in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we recorded $69.3 million and $35.4 million, impairment of vessel assets, respectively. The $69.3 million impairment expense recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included $67.6 million impairment loss 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 is more likely than not will be scrapped pursuant to the terms of the Commitment Letter that we originally entered into on June 8, 2016. Additionally, a $1.7 million impairment loss was recorded during the first quarter of 2016 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. Similarly, the $35.4 million impairment expense recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was for the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger for which we had determined it was more likely than not that the vessels would be sold based on Baltic Trading’s expressed consideration to divest of those vessels to increase its liquidity position and strengthen our balance sheet. On April 7, 2015, we entered into an agreement with Baltic Trading to purchase the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger for an aggregate purchase price of $68.5 million, not including commission, which closed on April 8, 2015. 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. During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, there was no impairment of vessel assets.

Pursuant to our bank 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 bank 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. Compliance with the collateral maintenance covenants have been waived under our $100 Million Term Loan Facility; $253 Million Term Loan Facility; 2015 Revolving Credit Facility; $44 Million Term Loan Facility; $148 Million Credit Facility; 2014 Term Loan Facilities; and the $22 Million Term Loan Facility through November 15, 2016 pursuant to the Second Amended Commitment Letter and the waiver entered into on October 14, 2016 for the 2014 Term Loan Facilities. Additionally, pursuant to the Amended $98 Million Credit Facility Commitment Letter entered into on September 29, 2016, the collateral maintenance covenant has been reduced from 140% to 120% through November 15, 2016. 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 as of September 30, 2016 and the December 31, 2015 vessel valuations as of December 31, 2015. In the chart below, we list each of our vessels, the year it was built, the year we acquired it, and its carrying value at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Vessels have been grouped according to their collateralized status as of September 30, 2016. The carrying value of the Genco Acheron, Genco Carrier, Genco Leader, Genco Pioneer, Genco Prosperity, Genco Reliance, Genco Success, Genco Sugar, and Genco Wisdom at September 30, 2016 reflects the impairment loss recorded for these vessels.

At September 30, 2016, the vessel valuations of all of our vessels for covenant compliance purposes under our bank credit facilities as of the most recent compliance testing date were lower than their carrying values at September 30, 2016, with the exception of the nine aforementioned vessels, which were written down to their estimated net realizable value as of June 30, 2016 as it was determined that the vessels assets were impaired. At December 31, 2015, the vessel valuations of all of our vessels for covenant compliance purposes under our bank credit facilities as of the most recent compliance testing date were lower than their carrying values at December 31, 2015, with the exception of the Genco Marine, which was unencumbered at December 31, 2015 and was written down to its fair market value as it was determined that the vessel asset was impaired as of December 31, 2015. Refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

The amount by which the carrying value at September 30, 2016 of all of the vessels in our fleet, with the exception of the nine aforementioned vessels, exceeded the valuation of such vessels for covenant compliance purposes ranged, on an individual vessel basis, from $5.0 million to $23.5 million per vessel, and $733.2 million on an aggregate fleet basis. The amount by which the carrying value at December 31, 2015 of all of the vessels in our fleet, with the exception of the Genco Marine, exceeded the valuation of such vessels for covenant compliance purposes ranged, on an individual vessel basis, from $3.3 million to $21.8 million per vessel, and $699.9 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 $12.2 million at September 30, 2016 and $10.1 million as of December 31, 2015. 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 September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we did not have any interest rate swap agreements to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates.

We are subject to market risks relating to changes in LIBOR rates because we have significant amounts of floating rate debt outstanding. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we were subject to the following interest rates on the outstanding debt under our credit facilities:

| · |  | $100 Million Term Loan Facility — LIBOR plus 3.50%

| · |  | $253 Million Term Loan Facility — three-month or six-month LIBOR plus 3.50%

| · |  | 2015 Revolving Credit Facility — three-month LIBOR plus a range of 3.40% to 4.25% effective April 9, 2015 when the facility was entered into

| · |  | $98 Million Credit Facility — three-month LIBOR plus 6.125% effective November 10, 2015 when the facility was entered into

| · |  | $44 Million Term Loan Facility — three-month LIBOR plus 3.35%

| · |  | 2010 Credit Facility — LIBOR plus 3.00% until January 7, 2015, when the facility was refinanced with the $148 Million Credit Facility

| · |  | $148 Million Credit Facility — LIBOR plus 3.00% beginning January 7, 2015 when this facility refinanced the 2010 Credit Facility

| · |  | $22 Million Term Loan Facility — three-month LIBOR plus 3.35%

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

Table of Contents

A 1% increase in LIBOR would result in an increase of $4.3 million in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Derivative financial instruments

As part of our business strategy, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we did not have any derivative financial instruments.

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

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.

As part of our business strategy, we may enter into short-term forward currency contracts to protect ourselves from the risk arising from the fluctuation in the exchange rate associated with the cost basis of the Jinhui shares.

Investments

We hold investments in equity securities of Jinhui, which are 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 are recognized as an adjustment to their carrying values with an offsetting adjustment to AOCI at each reporting date. We review the carrying value of such investments on a quarterly basis to determine if there are any indicators of other-than-temporary impairment in accordance with ASC 320-10. Based on our review as of September 30, 2016, we did not deem our investment in Jinhui to be other-than-temporarily impaired. However, based on our review as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2016, a total loss of $0 and $2.7 million, respectively, has been recorded as impairment of investment in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Additionally, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, a total loss of $32.5 million has been recorded as impairment of investment in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. We will continue to evaluate the carrying value of such investments on a quarterly basis. 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 President and 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 President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

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

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. 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”).

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 Order, the Preliminary Injunction Denial.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the 2015 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Below is updated information for the risk factor entitled, “We are subject to regulation and liability under environmental and operational safety laws that could require significant expenditures and affect our cash flows and net income and could subject us to increased liability under applicable law or regulation.”:

On October 27, 2016, the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) announced the results from a vote to ratify and formalize regulations mandating a reduction in sulfur emissions from 3.5% currently to 0.5% as of the beginning of 2020 rather than pushing the deadline back to 2025. By 2020 ships will now have to either remove sulfur from emissions through the use of emission scrubbers or buy fuel with low sulfur content. Scrubbers can cost $3-$10 million to install on existing ships. If a vessel is not retrofitted with a scrubber, it will need to use low sulfur fuel, which is more expensive that standard marine fuel. This increased demand for low sulfur fuel may result in an increase in prices for such fuel.

In addition, below is updated information for the risk factor entitled, “We may have to pay U.S. tax on U.S. source income, which would reduce our net income and cash flows.”

The change in the Company’s share ownership resulting from the transactions contemplated by the Initial Purchase Agreements and the Additional Purchase Agreements may cause the Company to be no longer being eligible for an exemption under Section 883 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 from paying income tax on shipping income that is derived from U.S. sources.
