Financial Review: 2016 Fourth Quarter

The Company recorded a net loss attributable to Genco Shipping & Trading Limited for the fourth quarter of 2016 of $24.5 million, or $3.35 basic and diluted net loss per share. Comparatively, for the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded a net loss attributable to Genco Shipping & Trading Limited of $49.5 million, or $6.86 basic and diluted net loss per share. Basic and diluted net loss per share for both periods has been adjusted for the one-for-ten reverse stock split of Genco’s common stock effected on July 7, 2016.

John C. Wobensmith, President, commented, “During the fourth quarter and full-year 2016, Genco took important steps to further strengthen its leading drybulk platform and reposition the Company to capitalize on a market recovery. We completed a $125 million capital raise and closed on a $400 million credit facility, which transformed our balance sheet and capital structure. We also continued to optimize the deployment, strategic positioning and profile of our diversified fleet, strengthening our ability to take advantage of improving drybulk fundamentals. Finally, our focus on maintaining cost effective operations enabled the Company to further reduce direct vessel operating expenses and continue the significant progress we have made since 2014. We enter 2017 in a strong position to utilize our modern fleet to serve leading charterers, while drawing upon our significant financial flexibility to take advantage of compelling growth opportunities.”

The Company’s revenues increased to $43.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, compared to $35.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to higher spot market rates achieved by the majority of the vessels in our fleet during the fourth quarter of 2016 versus the same period last year.

The average daily time charter equivalent, or TCE, rates obtained by the Company’s fleet was $6,659 per day for the three months ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $4,711 for the three months ended December 31, 2015. The increase in TCE was primarily due to higher spot rates achieved by the majority of the vessels in our fleet during the fourth quarter of 2016 versus the fourth quarter of 2015. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Baltic Dry Index (“BDI”) 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. With regard to supply, net fleet growth in the fourth quarter remained relatively low in a historical context. During the first two months of 2017, the drybulk market experienced seasonal pressure primarily due to increased newbuilding vessel deliveries, weather related disruptions and the Chinese New Year holiday. More recently, the BDI has rebounded to 871 points as of March 1, 2017, with Capesize freight rates, as quoted by the Baltic Exchange, trading significantly higher than the same point of last year.

Total operating expenses were $61.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to $72.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. Vessel operating expenses declined to $27.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to $31.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. This was primarily due to lower expenses related to maintenance as well as the timing of purchases of stores and spares. Additionally, this variance was due to the operation of fewer vessels during the fourth quarter of 2016 as compared to the same period of the prior year. General and administrative expenses were $8.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily due to an increase in costs related to financing or refinancing activities. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased to $18.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 from $20.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015, primarily due to the revaluation of ten of our vessels to their estimated net realizable value during the first half of 2016.

Daily vessel operating expenses, or DVOE, decreased to $4,486 per vessel per day for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $4,954 per vessel per day for the same quarter of 2015 predominantly due to lower expenses related to maintenance 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. For the year ended 2016 our DVOE decreased to $4,514 from $4,870 for 2015. Furthermore, based on estimates provided by our technical managers and management’s views, our DVOE budget for 2017 is $4,440 per vessel per day on a weighted average basis for the entire year for the core fleet of 60 vessels.

Apostolos Zafolias, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We are pleased to have completed our capital raise and closed on our new credit facility in the fourth quarter. This success has significantly increased our liquidity position and strengthened Genco’s balance sheet, providing Genco with a strong financial foundation for the future. In addition, the favorable terms of our new credit facility, combined with our cost saving initiatives, have allowed us to significantly reduce Genco’s cash break-even levels.”

Financial Review: Twelve Months 2016

The Company recorded a net loss attributable to Genco Shipping & Trading Limited of $217.2 million or $29.95 basic and diluted net loss per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016. This compares to a net loss attributable to Genco Shipping & Trading Limited of $194.9 million or $29.61 basic and diluted net loss per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. Basic and diluted net loss per share for both periods has been adjusted for the one-for-ten reverse stock split of Genco’s common stock effected on July 7, 2016. Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, includes non-cash vessel impairment charges of $69.3 million and $39.9 million, respectively. Revenues decreased to $135.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 compared to $154.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 due to lower spot market rates achieved by the majority of our vessels. TCE rates obtained by the Company decreased to $4,907 per day for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 from $5,445 per day for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, due to lower rates achieved by the majority of the vessels in our fleet. Total operating expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $321.5 million and $346.8 million, respectively. Excluding non-cash vessel impairment charges totaling $69.3 million relating to the revaluation of ten vessels to their estimated net realizable value, our adjusted total operating expenses were $252.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016. This compares to adjusted total operating expenses, which excludes a non-cash vessel impairment charge of $35.4 million relating to the sale of the Baltic Tiger and the Baltic Lion in April 2015 as well as a $4.5 million non-cash impairment charge to adjust the value of the Genco Marine to its fair value as of December 31, 2015, of $306.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. We believe the presentation of the adjusted amounts above is useful to investors in understanding our current performance and financial condition, as it excludes items that may not be indicative of our core operating results. General and administrative expenses for 2016 decreased to $23.9 million as compared to $32.8 million for 2015. Daily vessel operating expenses per vessel were $4,514 versus $4,870 in the comparative periods due to lower expenses related to maintenance as well as crewing and insurance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $50.0 million and $56.1 million, respectively. Included in the net loss attributable to Genco during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 are $72.0 million and $77.8 million of non-cash impairment charges, respectively. Also included in the net loss during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $20.7 million and $42.1 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. There was also a change in the (gain) loss on sale of vessels in the amount of $4.5 million due to the sale of additional vessels during 2016 as compared to 2015. Additionally, the fluctuation in accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by $7.8 million due to the timing of payments and the fluctuation in due from charterers decreased by $3.9 million due to the timing of payments received from charterers. 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 a $10.7 million decrease in deferred drydocking costs incurred because there were fewer vessels that completed drydocking during the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the same period during 2015.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $6.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $56.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2015. The fluctuation is primarily due to a $66.1 million decrease in the purchase of vessels, including deposits. The decrease is primarily due to the completion of the purchase of the three Ultramax newbuilding vessels during 2015. There was also $13.0 million in proceeds from the sale or scrapping of five vessels during the year ended December 31, 2016. Additionally, there was an increase of $9.8 million of proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities. These fluctuations were partially offset by an $25.7 million increase in deposits of restricted cash, which represents additional restricted cash required by the $400 Million Credit Facility which was entered into on November 10, 2016 and the Amended and Restated $98 Million Credit Facility that the Company entered into on November 15, 2016 partially offset by the $19.6 million 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 provided by financing activities was $55.4 million and $150.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 consisted primarily of the $400.0 million drawdown on the $400 Million Credit Facility and net proceeds from the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock in the amount of $121.9 million partially offset by the following: $145.3 million repayment of debt under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, $140.4 million repayment of debt under the $148 Million Credit Facility, $60.1 million repayment of debt under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $56.2 million repayment of debt under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, $38.5 million repayment of debt under $44 Million Term Loan Facility, $18.6 million repayment of debt under the $22 Million Term Loan Facility, $3.0 million repayment of debt under the $98 Million Credit Facility, $2.8 million repayment of debt under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities and $1.5 million payment of deferred financing costs. On November 15, 2016, the $400 Million Credit Facility refinanced the following six credit facilities; the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, the $148 Million Credit Facility, the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, the $44 Million Term Loan Facility and the $22 Million Term Loan Facility. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015 for the Successor Company consisted primarily of the following: $148.0 million of proceeds from the $148 Million Credit Facility, $98.3 million of proceeds from the $98 Million Credit Facility and $56.2 million of proceeds from the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility. These proceeds from our credit facilities were partially offset by the following: $102.3 million repayment of debt under the 2010 Credit Facility, $20.3 million repayment of debt under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, $7.7 million repayment of debt under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $7.6 million repayment of debt under the $148 Million Credit Facility, $2.8 million repayment of debt under the $44 Million Term Loan Facility, $2.1 million repayment of debt under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities, $1.5 million repayment of debt under the $22 Million Term Loan Facility, $7.0 million payment of deferred financing costs and $0.8 million cash settlement paid to non-accredited 2010 Note holders.

Capital Expenditures

We make capital expenditures from time to time in connection with vessel acquisitions. As of March 1, 2017, our fleet consists of 13 Capesize, six Panamax, four Ultramax, 21 Supramax, three Handymax and 15 Handysize vessels with an aggregate capacity of approximately 4,782,000 dwt.

In addition to acquisitions that we may undertake in future periods, we will incur additional capital expenditures due to special surveys and drydockings for our fleet. Three of our vessels spent time in drydock during the fourth quarter of 2016. We currently expect 14 of our vessels to be drydocked during 2017 of which eight are expected to be drydocked during the first quarter of 2017.
